In the ninth innmr, the score standing two to one in favor of the home club, the visitors, through good batting and several errors on the part of the Washington, scored three runs. Catcher 2!ack, of the Wasbinetone, complained of a lore finger and the WashiogtoLs wanted the game called and the umpire acceded to their wishes, giving darkness as the reason.

It looks like the latter wonld be sure tatl-enders. Henry Boyle Is now a man of elegant leisure, and pets in much, of his time in buggy riding about the city. It is doubtful if the Indianapolis club plays in Washington to-day after the treatment it received yesterday. The Indianapolis club has encountered bad weather in the East, and the attendance has consequently been small. Harry Wright announces that he is free to go anywhere and that he will go to the clab making him the best offer. In an interview in the New York Sporting Times President Brush says the Indianapolia club Is in the League to stay. In regard to the rumored trouble which is said will come from the brotherhood of players, John Wsrd states the relations between the club and players was never more pleasant than at preseat. If Healy bad the nerve of either Sbreve or Burdick he would be a better pitcher than either of them; but he is always easy to bat when rues are reeded, and general! hard to bat when his opponents have the game. Jack Glasscock has written a letter to a friend In this city in whish he has denied the exaggerated interview with him printed in the Chicago News. He says he talked but a few moments with the reporter, and said only a few of the things attributed to him. The LatonU Race Track. Cincinnati, Oct L The first extra day at Latonia had fine weather, a fairly fast track and a large crowd. The sport was excellent, three favorites winning, and no real short horse getting better than second plaee. First Race Selling; six farlongs. Finality won; Renounce second. Bootjack third.

' ' JJeffro Murdered by Pace Officers. Columbia, S. G. Oct 1. Sam Cornwall, col red, was brutally lynched in Chester county, last night. Cornwall and a white man named Tom Smith, had a qnsrreh A peace-warrant was made out against the negro and was girea

to Constable Lipford to execute. The constable, accompanied by three ether white men, among them Tom White, arrested Cornwall and started for the court-house with the prisoner. This morning the body of Cornwall, with fifteen ballets through it, was found by the roadside. TI1E FIFTIETH CONGRESS.

The Benet Circular. In the Senate Democratic Hypocrisy About Public Lends. Washington, Oct. L Mr. Plamb, from the committee on publio lands, reported the Senate bill for the disposal of Fort Wallace military reservation, in Kansas, and asked for its immediate consideration, stating that a bill on the same subject had passed both bouses at this cession and had been vetoed by the President, whose objections, he said, were unimportant, but the bill had been amended so as to cover these objections. Mr. Edmonds objected to its present consideration, and it was placed on tbv calendar. Later in the day the bill was, however, passed. The President's message to Congress announcing his approval of the Chinese exclusion bill was laid before the Senate and read. Mr. Sherman moved that it be printed and referred to the committee on foreign relations. He remarked that the only legislative suggestion made in it had already been acted on an appropriation of (276,000 hsTing been put in the deficiency bill to indemnify Chinese for losses inflicted on them in the territories. Mr. Hale remarked that that item was now in conference between the two bouses. Mr. Dolph suggested that that was not the only matter saggestei for legislation in ths message. It also recommended immediate legislation to authorize the landing of Chinese laborers now on their way with certificates. He regarded it as a Tery extraordinary proooition for the President to appro? e a bill cutting off summarily and completely the entrance of Chinese, and then ask Congress to disapprove of it and to amend it. Thn mesyaze was referred to the committee on foreign relations. Mr. Hale offered a resolution reciting the circular of Gen. Benet directing the discberge of. Republican employes from the United States arsenals, stating that under it honorably discharged soldiers of the Union army, and widows and daughters of soldiers, have been discharged, and directing the Secretary of War to transmit to the Senate forthwith fall information as to euch order, stating fully whether the necessities of the department required that the order should be issued, and way an order iasned on public business should be marked "confidential." Mr. Hale remarked that there was nothing in the previous history or record of the Secretary of War that would have led him (Mr. Hale) to believe that he would Lave permitted or authorthorized the issuing of such a circular, extending (for the first time) party proscription to women nnd children. He did not know In the history of party polltioe and party conflicts an instance where the dogma "To the Victors Belong the Spoils' had been carried to that extent. Mr. Cockrell objected to immediate consideration of tne resolution, and said that he. to-morrow,, would folly answer the remarks of the Senator from Maine, and would state what the Democratic party was responsible for. what it was not responsible for. and what it should have done long ago. The resolution went over till to-raorrtlw. 'The Senate then took up, as unfinished business, the Senate bill reported from the committee on public lands on August 30. restoring to the United States certain of the lands granted to the Northern Pacific Railroad Company, and was addressed by Mr. Berry. He contrasted the position of the Democratic House of Representatives and of the Republican Senate on railroad land forfeitures, and claimed that, while tae bill which pasted the Senate this session only forfeited between 5,000,000 and 0,000,000 acre, the amendment to it adopted by the House, and which was now in conference between the two houses, forfeited 3G,000,000 aires. In no part of the record of the Republican party, he caid, bad it Leea more clearly shown that it was a friend of comorationa and not of the people than in its dealings with the public lands. Mr. Plum said the House of Representatives was not the Democratic oarty. The President of the Untited States was the Democratic party, and tb President himself had patented more than 700.000 acres to the railroad companies, which lands were earned years and years sfter the tim limited in the law. He Mr. Pluniol wonld prophesy that between election day and the day when Congress would next assemble, another large lot of land woold be patented to another railroad company (earned out of time) a railroad company, the president of wbV-h was one of the largest contributors to the Democratic campaign fund. He declared that while the House had been making so much noise about forfeiting land grants the Democratic administration bad been certifying the same lands to railroad companies. On motion of Mr. Dolph, the House bill on the same subject was substituted for the Senate bill, and theo Mr. Dolph offered the Seoat bill as a substitute for the House bill, the object and effect being the passage of the House bill with en amendment. Pending action on this motion, the bill went over till to-morrow as unfinished business. The Senate bill granting right of way through the Pensarola reservation to tho Pens&eola & Memphis railroad was passed. After an executive session, the Senate adjourned. Proceedings of the House. Washington, Oct. 1. Mr. McCreary, of Kentucky, acted as Speaker pro tern, to-day. The following bills were introdoced and referred: By Mr. Wheeler, of Alabama: Proposing a constitutinal amendment providing that onethird of the members of eaeh House of Congress shall coostitute a quorum. By Mr. PbeUn, of Tennessee: Providing for the appointment of a board of yellow fever commissioners to investigate the sanitary tondition of foreign infected places, and to provide for the co-operation of Spain and Mexico. By Mr. Lanbam, of Texas, the following resolution: That it is the sense of this House that appropriate legislation for the prevention and suppression of trusts is imperatively demanded in behalf of the great body of the American people, and that the remaiuder of the session, or so much thereof as may be necessary, should be devoted to the perfection of soeh legislation; and to that end, all other leeislative business, except geners-1 appropriation and tariff bills, should be subordinated until the purpose of this resolution be attained. By Mr. Sowden, of Pennsylvania, for the appointment of a sub-committee of the committee on public buildings and grounds, to proceed to Chicago for the purpose of inspecting the postoffice building, and ascertaining the necessity, if any, for its enlargement. The Seaker pro tem. laid before the House the message from the President announcing bis approval of the Chinese bill. It was read and refered to the committee on foreign affairs. Mr. Dunn, of Arkansas, moved to suspend the rales and put upon its passage the Senate bill to incorporate the Maritimo Canal Company of Isiearaugua. Messrs. Spioola and Lawler announced their intention of making the point of no quorum, and Mr. Dunn withdrew bis motion. Similar action was taken by Mr. Morrow, cf California, with a Senate bill to increase tho limit of appropriation for the public building at San Franciseo. The bill having been called up and the point of no quorum raised bv Mr. Kitgore, , of Texas, Mr. Morrow withdrew the measure. Mr. Abbott, of Texas, moved, under suspension of the rules, the psssage of the Senate bill for the erection of a publio building at Fort Worth, Texas. Mr. Dincley inquired whether Mr. Kilgore intended to raise the point of no quorum upon this motion. Mr. Kilgore replied that he had nothing to do with this bill, whereupon Mr. Lyman, of Iowa, demanded a second on the motion, and intimated his intention of raising the point of no quorum. Then Mr. Kilgore manifested a desire to compromise and withdrew the point he bad made against Mr. Morrow's bill, and Mr. Abbott temporarily withdrew his motion to enable the San Francisco bill to be again called np. But this time it met with no better fate,' Mr. Anderson, of Mississippi, being the objector. The House then adjourned. Wife Murder and Suicide. St. Louis, Ocl 1. Jacob Heber. aged fifty, a basket-maker residine at 103 Chambers street, this morning shot and killed his wife and then committed saieide. Two weeks ago Heber struck his wife for asking him for money, and his step-son thrashed him for it. Heber left the bouse, but returned this morning and shortly after three shots were heard. Neighbors rushed in and found Mrs. Heber dead on the bedroom floor, while Heber's body, with a bullet through; tho heart, was found in the hallway. It is a fact, that Hood's Sarsaparilla does euro scrofula, salt rheum, and other diseases or aN feetions arising from impnre state or low condition of the blood, overcomes that tired feeling, creates a good appetite, and gives strength tcf every part of the system. .

LETTERS FFwOM THE PEOPLE. An Intuit to Wejklg:men. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal I see the dolla;-a-day lie" Is still being circulated by the Democratic national committee. I say the national committee, for the circulars have reached bete, and could not have been distributed by private persons. I am a journeyman machinery molder, and look upon such a charge as an insult to the workingmen of America, for it is an assumption that tfiey are so ignorant as not to be able to judge whether any public man who was placed in office' by the votes of workingmen, and expected to 'come before them for their suffrage again, would use an expression which would lose ' all inch votes, or not. While I have but little respect for the ability ot -President Cleveland, I should certainty laugh -if any Republican would charge him wita saying anything so foolish, and I must say I fcave not yet fonnd any Democratic workingman so ignorant as to really believe General Harrison ever said or believed a dollar was enough for any honest day's work. If the Democrats hare no better argument to draw the minds of the wage-earners from their record of free tradeism than the "dollar-a dayenough" yarn, they must be very poorly off for campaign powder. ' W. A. Williams, 351 Kerlin street, Chester, Pa. Is Mr. Jewett Kesponelble for Tnls? Co the Editor of the ludlanapoUs Journal While the Sentinel and the Democracy in general are trying to make capital out of a little dun that was being had by strangers from another city daring tie . Democratic parade on Saturday night one wek ago, and, according to the Sentinel. Gen. Harrison is responsible for the good behavior of all visiting strangers, and the city in general, I would ask the Sentinel and the Democracy who is responsible for the brutal attack made on Republican on South Illinois street, in frost of the Grand Hotel, the night Harrison was nominated. A crowd of abont fifty Democrats trere gathered there, hurrahing for Cleveland, 'end insulting every R--ptiblican who passed. They stood on both sides of the walk, so that a person passing was compelled to run the gauntlL Every colored man who passed wearing a Harrison badge' was either struck or insulted in some manner. One white man, who wore a lug hat with a picture of Harrison on it, and eaying nothing to any 5ne, was struck a severe blow in the face, bruts-, ing him up terribly. Tie roffiao who struck blm immediately rnvle himself scarce, and could not be found, and the man, a stranger in the city, was hooted out of th crowd, his face all bruised and bloody. Many other outrages bave occurred in this same pltce. I would like to know if Grover Cleveland is responsible for this, as these men are particular friends of his. I was an eve-witness to all this, and watched their every movement, which was most disgracafai. A Citizen. The ITomesof th Clay County Miners. To the KJItftr of the lndlanspolis Journal: Tbe Sentinel of Sept. 20 contained what purported to be a description of where and how the miners of Gay county live. Ever since the delegation from this county called on General Harrison tbe Sentinel has done nothing but throw intuits and insinuations at the miners, but as it is alwsye the hit dog that barks, we suppose tbe Sectloel has beea hit and takes this method of getting even. We admit that the picture of Watson's blocks is accurate, but the miners who live there do so because it is convenient to their work and not beeanse tbey are compelled to do so. In this place, -with something otr 1,200 populaticn, composed entirely cf miners, over one-half of them live in their own property, all secured from money saved under the so-called protection of the Sentinel. There have been not lets than thirtr houses built here by miners this summer, ranging in prices from 5200. to $300 each, one miner alone building three at an average cost of $350. Do not understand us 03 trying to say that the miners' condition is the best in the world, but we do say it is better than it will bo under a free-trade policy. The special reporter of tbe Sentinel gives a cut of the bouse of Louis Milican before starting a "pluck-me, and one after starting a "pluckroe." and says the cost of the latter ono was 4,000. The reporter roust be a humorist, as tbe house cost but f 1,000, and is owned by the Jackson Coal and Mining Company. Tbe majority of tbe miners have been having a good laugh ever since seeing Saturdav a Sentinel. We hope they, the Sentinel, will keep it op. as it is sorely makine us votes. Ons Who Know3. Knigutsville, Ind., Oct. 1.

Tariff and Internal CorenueTax. To the dicr of tbe Indianapolis Journal: As the Democratic party is just now busily engaged informing the public that the Republican party is robbing thepoopleby needless taxation, it would be well for every voter to investigate and find out if that is so. They (the Democrats) rive for example blankets. As it has been shown before this that blankets can be bought in this country for very near the amount that the tariff is on impotted blankets and at an increase of only 15 per cent, above the price in England, while wages are folly 50 to ICO per cent better in this country than in England, I for ono fail to see where the "tax and the high blankets" come in. On the other hand, I find, after investigation, that by Keeping up i'tternsl revenues as the Democrats propose, we pay 81 S3 per gal Ion on aleohol for arts and manufacturing purposes. Tbe retail prise of alcohol is $2.50, consequently if that tax, which is a direct tax, wonld be taken of?, we would buy alcohol for 70c per gallon. Now if ono stops to consider how this tax affects poor and rich, we will se who is robbing tbe people by needless taxation. For instance: a pint of spirits of camphor is Jotd now for 50c: it contains a pint f alcohol at 40c. and 2 oz. f gum camphor at 10c The tsx oi that is 22c Arnica sells at 50c a pint, h alt of which is alcohol; we pay for it over lie per pint tax. Essence of jeppermint. ginger, vanilla acd lemon ure mainly alcohol, all of whieh cost 10c per oz. oow. All could be sold at 5c per oz. and afford tbe druggist jnst as good pay for bis vvjrk, if alcohol wr.s free Even paregcrb f.or the baby's colic is half alcohol, consequent taxed. Every drop of medicine, nearly, contain a from 10 to 00 per cent, of alcohol, all is taxed, and who pays this tax? Tbe poor man and the man with large family more than any one else. The Democratio party, however, says "Tax the poor man and his family that is sick, and break down the protective tariff tnat gives us good wages." New comes the Democratic d exr.agogne and tells us that to make takes lighte t ly taking off the alcohol tax, would give us free whisky. Is that so) Let us investigate. u)ooeing that Indiana would stop paying, we will lay, $500,000 internal revenue taxes to tbe government at Washington, and instead have) a sign license and local-option law, thereby payinr that much or more into the treasuries 'jf her cities, would that be free whisky? No; tvice no. 3ut would it not lighten the burden of taxation to' aor citizens, rich and poor? Yes indeed, it would save Indiana millions of dollars that we pay niw in taxes, and place better restrictions on the liquor eloquent than we have now.. The Demorats, however, say "We don't wsnt hih liense," they vote against it (as a r erty), every time they get a chance, therefore 'they are the ones that want "free whisky'' and needless taxation. A German Reptblicajt. Some Queries for J. S. UaglKs. To the Editor of the lndianaoolis Journ. Soma time sgo J. S. Hughes, third-)arty candidate for Governor of Indiana, wroie a letter to private Ira J. Chase, in which be propounded three verv impudent questions, demaiding to know whether Mr. Chase, if elected Lioa ten antgovernor, wonld do all he could to promote prohibition legislation, etc. Mr. Chase at irst felt that he could only maintain bis dignity by ignoring those queries, bnt afterwards deeded to "answer n fool according to bis folly." 'Eia snswer was brief, and to the po'nt. He limply stated, in substance, that if his work in the cause of temperance during a ministry of twenty-odd years did not speak for him. nothing be could ne w say would be available to that ei The valiant Hughes was not satisfied witb this answer, and published tbe correspondence, with approoriate and characteristic comments, n his orgaiu The article, of course, found ill way into the Sentinel i Now, let us eee how Corporal Hashes lfaas to t catechized. Let bim answer tbe following. Wt.Mrrogstioos for the joint behoof of his oqgan, 1,he Sentinel, and the public: -r 1.

The Tension DopirtmontTransfoimed Into a Democratic Machlnp Black's Methods. i e&ecral to the Vadiananolis Journal. Washington, Sept. 30. It has been an open secret amo-ae leading politicians of the Democratic faith in Washington for many moons that a whole wagon-lcad of love has been lost during the past year somewhere between the total mental and physical wreck who mismanages the Pension Bureau and the man who vetoes pension bills at the Whit House. From the time tbe vice .presidential bee commenced buzzing in the bonnet of John C. Black that is. from the time a misguided Senate confirmed him as Pension Commissioner, up to tbe time hs failed to materialize for second place at St Louis his one sole aim has been to allow all possible doubtful claims in order to convinee ex-soldiers that he was favorable to their interests mueh m ore so than his predecessors! who confined themselves within the limits of pension laws in rendering decisions. Human nature is weak, especially so among government clerks who have served long in the pension and other departments here; and when the Democratio party came into power mauy of them who previously boasted loud and long of their strong Republican proclivities, suddenly discovered themselves as ardent Democrats, and when Black took the eceptrt at the Pension Bureau he was at once surrounded by a number of these turncoats and sycophants, who, being thoroughly familiar with the routine work of the oQce and soon learning bis aspirations to mount as tail-piece to the second term presidential kite, immediately began the comparatively easy task of convincing their new chief of the necessity of passing as many pension claims as possible, without regard to their merits, in order to make himself solid with the soldier element, and to show tbe country at large that the Democratic party Black in particular was the true friend of the Union soldier. He surrounded himself with henchmen of this class, giving them unmerited positions and p ro. motions, and many were the secret meetings held by the conclave, with results soon made manifest in the discharge of a large number of competent clerks, many of them honorably discharged soldiers, with no reasons assigned for ihe removal, but plainly traceable to petty spite work on the part ot the ring that gathered close under the wing of Ihe new Commissioner. Black organized a "Board of Re-review," not sanctioned by the laws of the department, and alo a separate board to decide upon points of difference between tbe board of review and board of re-review. Among those three boards his pets were distributed, especial favorites being assigned to the intermediate board, and when any good Democratio pension claim with a fair modicum of Democratio influence was Commended to the good grace ef the commibsioner, it was at once sent to toe board of review with memorandum attached, "To be allowed,' which ended all further worx in the .case; acd in innumerable instances they were allowed by the especial order of the Commissioner all roing before the aforesaid board as a matter of form only. In this slipshod manner the Commiisiouer, wij.n the aid of his henchmen of acrobatic politics, bas rjacaged to pass a great many claims that would not bear honest inspection not so much o benefit tbe soldier as to manufacture a reputation to which he is not entitled. During the pan three years "civil-service reform" bas been almost entirely ignored in that ofilce, and the South and so-called doubtful States have ben greatly favored in the matter of appointments. Many instances are known of high clerkships being given to men whove general ignorance aud stupidity were prut positive that tbe civil-tervice ttxltP and regulations tad been utterly disregarded; but the Commissioner had many favors to dispense and his "charity" covered a multitnde of sins. One instance, a sample of many: Aq Indiana man was given a po&ition as laborer in the pension building, with tt promise of something much better should he be abie to pass a civil-service examination He was a personal friend and wire-puller of Senator Vvorbees, and reported to have been a knight of the Senator's "Golden Circle." He made several attempts 'to paes tbe civil-service examination, but failed each time, and bard fate seeme'l to have cut him out for an ordinary every-day laborer, until the Senator came to his rescue, and a special examination was ordered for this one ease, and he passed! Possiby ho might have gathered wisdom from former failures; at any rate, by some hock, or crook he passed. Persons familiar with his orthography think the Civil-service Commissioners mistook him for a leaiing dierr-ple of Volapuk. for he is diemal failure in sirjple English; and clerks in the office who h'jve become familiar with Black' methods were n cx surprised to sbe tbe $720 laborer transformed into a $2,000 principal examiner. Many rood

positions of that kind nave been given to mt-o or similar calibre first cre&ting the vacancies bv discharging or reducing competent, tried clerks, many of tem maimed by the loss of an arm or leg iu their countrv's service. Great preparations were tade and many consultations tal in Black's private office previous to the St Louis convention, and a number of his special favorites were sent to that city. Bnt it is needless to ou large on that fact, as many of their rames were published at the time. These men were there for the express purpose of inflating Black's boomlet, though drawing good salaries from the government for far different work. We all know how it terminated. The disappointment was keenly felt by the Commissioner, who openiy expressed his hatred of the President, whom he blamed entirely for shelving him; and his denunciations evidently soon reached tbe ears at the White House, for rumors were rife that a chsnge was contemplated in the Bureau of Pensions. Then Black began to hede. Matters were patched up by mutual friends, aud the General mollified by promises of former reward should the present administration be continued in power, judging by his increased ardor for the success of his party. Since the St. Louis convention hundreds of incompetent special examiners, mostly of bis political faith, drawing fst stipends, have been sent to the States considered doubtful, and every pecsion claim, however flimsy as to merit that originated in those States is forwarded at once to the& examiners, who, under special instructions, make a pretense of giving a special examination for the sole pnrpose of blinding the applicant; tells bim he's "all right," and sends the case to the Pension Office, where it will be found incomplete by the board of review, or detaioed in the special examiners' division In either case will remain unfinished until after the presidential election, when tbe whole work will necessarily have to be gone over again with the except'.n, possibly, of some cases that may be allowed by the Commissioner to oblige party frionds. Tbe ' States spoken of are flooded with such claims, returned from the office of the special examiners, and even witb hundreds of additional special examiners, it would be a physical impossibility to complete the work tbey are now makine a pretense cf doing. The cases coming in from these examiners sbow that tbe examinations are merely superficial, and they are being piled up in stacks in the room of the board of review and special examiners' division, where they will remain until the Lord knows wben at least until the presidential question? is settled. And the work now being done in these cases in the Held shows willing tools in the bsnds of an unscrupulous partisan; work that will be of no earthly benefit to the poor, maimed and brokendown soldier who allows himself to be bezpiled by the smooth tongues of the special examiners. There are thousands of rejected cases in the Pension Office. These are raked out of the files by trusted clerks and sent to .the board of review, generally without any additional evidence, many without the slightest merit, and at the same time the applicantis notified thathis claim has "cone to the board of review for final action," and conveying tbe impression that his claims will be favorably acted, upoo, when, in fict, no action can be taken upon them, and they ere stacked up to remain until after the election, when they will be returned to tbe rejected flies. Another device: Other trusted clerks, having the rolls of pensioners iu the- dout tfnl States before them, write letters informing the pensioner thst his case has been examined, and it is thought he is entitled to an increase advising him to make application for the same, apd it will be allowed. Tbe thousands of applications that will flow into tbe office in'answer to these circulars could not possibly be acted upon before the election, and after that event it will be discovered that, upon mature enaideratioa by 5

GEORGE A. TELEPHONE SG4. 77 THE SWEETEST AND the medical division, it bas teen decided thst an increase "cannot be allowed in this case. Still another: For a year or more all spoliations for increased pensions, many of them worthy and meritorious, have been laid aside to be acted upon at this particular time-jnst before election. There are many thousands of them, and a special detail oi clerks bas been busy cariog foe them for months, and now there is crest anxiety msnifested to ret these increased pensions out in time to that ths waiting applicant may hear of his good fortune just before Not. 6. 2HsDy unreasonable end nnwarranted ratings have been (titen, and after the election tbe fortunate receiver of an increase should not feel argrieved if a reduction follows it must in a ereat many cases. Ihe Commissioner Ls cvin all bis attention at present to political work out'ide, boinc isldoni in the eity, and by his orders, frequently duplicated, eood and true men of the party are detailed from among the clerks of tbe ofSce to visit different States the time not to be deducted from their annual leave to "push things for all they are worth." Uoder Black's administration the Pension Bureau bas degenerated into a hues political machine, pure and simple, of tbe worst character, and the public can rest assured that nothioe, however dishonest, mean or brazen will be left undone to secure another fonr years' leaseof power by the present head of that department. It is scarcely possible that the brave men of Indiana who stood shoulder to shoulder during the dark days of 1SG1-C5 will allow themselves to be deceived by the extremely gauzy efforts of General Black to bolster up tbe waning fortunes of the present occupant cf the White House a man who had no feeliors in common with the Union soldiers during the rebellion, and who never lets slip an opportunity to show that be bas no use for them cow. They proved themselves men of bravery and intelligence a quarter of a century ago, and before the ides of Norember they will show the men who still sympathize with the lost cause that they can yet disci nguith the difference between a buzzard and a turkey. Yetesjln. CONCERNING MRS. BECKER. Tbe Treasury Counter Suepected In Connc- ' tlon with the Missing Money. Washington Special. Inquiry with the personality of Mrs. Ernestine Becker, in whose, work as a treasury counter the embezzlement cf $944 was made publio this week, discloses that she bas been for the past two or three years a snug investor in real estate, owning the house in which she lives. No. 1204 N street, another in the rear, and several lots on Charlton Heights, near the city, on one of which she took a permit Isst spring to build a SC,000 house. This house had progressed far enough to need mantels, and It was because she had absented herself without leave last Friday from her desk "to look for mantels" when her chief of division bad occasion to have her work overhauled teat the patched note9, which fcoki the story, were discovered. The fellow eleris say that this shortage bad accumulated in Ave days' work, and that more than $1,000, 000 must have parsed through her hands in the las: two or three months. She was a young woman of German purer-tape, from Illinois, a widow of twenty-five or thereabouts, when General Spinner received her into bis bureau in 1SG.". It was understood that she bad a mother and brother dependent on her. She bas always worn a troubled and anxious face, and of late years has grown stout snd somewhat cray. She contracted an unhappy marriage with one Studlsy, a messeoger in the department, after eight years' service, and after one child was born a boy oow twelve or thirteen years old a aep&rstion was effected and be left the department and the city. Singularly enough, although her marriage was known in the Treasury, she continued ou the rolls as Mrs. Becker, while outside she was known ss Mrs. Studley. Her treatment! at tbe hands of her nuband made her at the time an object of sympathy in the office, and otherwise she passed for a patient, plodding worker. She had been so long at tbe wheel that her honesty was taken for granted, bnt for the past two or three years she has appeared in fine clothine and jewels, and has talked volubly of a legacy left her by an old aunt in Montreal and of her profits in real estate investments. Lately, it is said, she has grown so reckless ss to ride to the Department daily in her carriage. A great deal of talk sprung up among the other lady connters, but it ws taken for granted that there was "a man in the case" somewhere.' There is now talk of a probable main confederate outside of the Department, yet there is a disposition to suspend judgment till the whole is known. Mrs. Becker has been reported ill of nervoos prostration since the exposure, bot yesterday she sent for a lawyer and had a long conference with him, A UNA DICKINSON.

South Illinois Street, Indianapolis, In A MOST NUTRITIOUS placed Anna Dickinson on the stump; that the lady is hard to manage, and tbe committee has been asked to foot millicery and dress-making bills to the extent of $00. This story was shown to Miss Dickinson here, and was most indignantly denied bv her. "Vy do you toac to me with such rubbish!" paid th lady. "Mr. Quay bad no more to do with -ngaeicg my services than you had. Th arrangements were made with Mr. Clarkecn aud Colonel Dudley. I never bad five minutes' talc with Mr! Quay in my life. I called at the Hepublican headquarters occe to see Mr. Clatkson, and was informed that I would have to so to his hotel. I did not tender my ervicefe to the committee, but was solicited by it to take the stump. Not a word was said as to what line of argument or policy I should pursue, acd aa for the salary, well, that s my business. It is satisfactory. "As for the statements tn tbe dispatch that I demanded traveling expenses for two lady companions, it's false, as you can see. 1 have onlr my faithful maid with me to care forme, and that was expected and agreed upon wheo I was engaged, and when I have secured extra accommodations on sleeping-cars and at hotels I bare psid for them myself. 'Tbe most utterly absurd statement In tbe. who' dispatch is to the effect that tbe National Committee has baen asked to pay nay dreearoakinj; bill. When the committee receives any such bills it will audit them, and cot before. Tbe dress which I wore at my srecb last nicht is fonr years old, and I guess the National Committee didn't have anything to do with paying for that 4lt seems to ins that Democratic newspiperi are paying a good deal of attentioo to an idiotic old woman, as they term me. When I first entered public life my calumniators claimed that I had left my poor old mother at home to starve in a garret. That lie is a fit companion to this latef t pfece of nonsense. 'I was a little fearful about starting out on this tour, as 1 had not faced an audience in several years until I spoke in Richmond the other night. I had never been sble to fully carry out my idea in making an address. I have met with enthusiastic audiences everywhere. My idea is to stir no old-line Republicans, and I am glad to know that good was accomplished here." NATURAL OAS OUTDONE. Claiming an Invention That Will He the Cheapest In Use. Pittsbursr rfpeciai One of the Ia-gest private companies ever established in this country is about to be put in operation soon. The scheme was in tends 1 to be kept very quiet, but it bas leaked out in some unaccountable manner, and the Times', correspondent heard of it this afternoon from a former Pittsbarger, now a resident of Kew York. New York, Chieaeo and Philadelphia capitalists have eeeured an invention belonging to u German, who, fer tho last two yoars. has ben experimenting in the manufaetnre cf gas at a cheap rate from some abundant material. This scientist has at length completed hisrxperi meets successfully, and his agent now in this country have proved to a select few tbe advantages and vatae of the discovery and invention. A company has been formed, of which. George Gould, son of the New York: fioancier; Drexel, of the great banking firm, and other lares capitalists of like note in the metropolis and other large cities, are tho principal members. While it is" not intended to form a corporation, these magnates seem to fear that such a step is necessary. Tbey will immediately eetabiish an experimental plaot near Germantown, Pa., and there prove the practicability of the invention. Rights will then be let oat to private individuals. The informant would civa little more of the particulars, but seemed to know all about the affair. He volunteered, however, the statement tost natural gas would be outdone by this new product, and that it was the hope of the American company to have it take its place and go into use everywhere. Tbe Carpenter aud the Parrot. New York Trees. The tariff is a tax," screamed the Bowery parrot yesterday. A tsx," said a carpenter tvao was merrily working with plane and saw; why, how on earth can that beT' 'The tarilf is a tax," was the only response. 'Now, look ye here, you etupil bird, said the carpenter, ''take this plane, for example, and I see by a picture in Harper's Weekly that the tariff taxes me on this, an t also on this saw. It ain't true, because I happen to kanw that the price of jsckpianes In free-trade England is $15 per dozen, and the price iu the United .states is only $10 20 per dozen. And I also know that common baol-s&w are selling to-day in England at $6 per dozes and bero at $5 per dozen. Where does tbe tax come iu!" And then the carpenter proceeded with his work. Nothine daunted by this, the parrot squeaked: "The tariff is a tax." Buckingham's Dye for the Whiskers Is easy of application, and never fails to color the bear brown or black, as may be desired.
