Uarriaon Tlogan. the Bnll Creek Terror, Finally Arrested hy a Sheriff. Special to the JiwlUua I. u .-.. Jeffersoniixe, Jan. 21. Harrison Hogan, who has so long been a terror to the oflicers of this county, was arrested this morning by Sheriff Ilay and deputies Donovan, Hazzard and Howell, at his place, iiear the mouth of Bull creek, and brought to this city, where ho is now in jail. About fifteen years ago he was wanted for Ajjae offense, and when tho oflicers went After him he barricaded his house and defied them to arrest him. His present trouble had its origin in 1874, when he caught a ooal barge which had got loose at Cincinnati, and landed it at Bull creek. He demanded of the owners of the boat $150, and refused to give it up unless that amount was paid him. While Hogan was sleeping tmo night a towboat, belonging to Cincinnati men. came along and took the barge to that cit3. Hogan entered suit in the Cincinnati courts against the company, and the action was fought until the costs aggregated $5,000, the owner of the barge finally -winning the suit. He owned considerable property, and to save this he transferred hi land and everything to his wife. The bond of affection "between Hogan and his better-half was not as strong as it should have been and the latter 60on devised a plan to get rid of her husdand, and come into the tull enjoyment of the property. A suit for divorce w.s entered by her, and a legal separation granted. r Since the granting of tho decree there has been a continual strife between Hogan and his wife, and a son-in-law, Wm. Moss. Moss had old Hogan indicted by the grand jury and a few weeks ago two depu ties were sent to Bull creek to arrest him. . He had taken refuge in a shanty boat, and when the oflicers appeared he opened lire on them with a shotgun, compelling them to return without him. Later, two other deputies were 6ent after him, and they were received in a like manner. Sheriff Hay and his three deputies left here Wednesday evening, on tho steamer Minnie Bay, and. arriving at : Bull creek, had tho steamer land at Hogan's boat. Tho old man halted at the door and defied the officers to arrest him. He was armed with a large revolver, and showed a disposition to use the weanon. Sheriff Hav informed him that he would be taken dead or alive and that it wonld be useless to resist. Hogan became convinced of this fact, and opening the door t submitted to arrest There are two indictments against him for resisting officers. He is scventy-nve years of age.

Tho goose tnrned several somersaults and balanced itself, after its revolutions, on its feet in time to receive a blow from a cudgel in the hands of young alters, who proudly carried off the prize.

Wool-Grower Hear a Short Address from Governor llovey. The Indiana Wool-growers Association held its final session in the Capitol yesterday morning. The meeting was engaged with miscellaneous special business for nearly two hours, during which several committees were appointed to care for tho legal interests of tho society, tho most im portant being the committee on protection. composed of Joshua Strauge, I. N. Cotton and Calvin Cowgill. They reported the following resolution, which was unanimously carried, amid tho greatest cnthusBiani: Kesolved. That the Indiana State WooI-ctow-ers Association heartily agree in the action of the beuate of the United States in passing tno Senate bill giving increased protection to the wooi-growmg industry ol this n ation; and: be it further HcsolTcd. That we imnniuiouRly unite in re7 uestlng our Representatives In Congresa from ndiana to give the paid Senato bilL as passed by tn Bcnate, tneir run support. After receiving the reports of the com mittee onobitnarv and expert iudires. Gov ernor Hovey addressed the association, speaking as follows: "As I am unable tp speak to you practically of your industry itself. I will content mvsclf with talkinc to you of some of its theoretical relations to the country at large. 1 am in favor ol sheep culture, even though the sheep had none of tho much talked of wool on its back, for there is actually no better meat this country anords iromthe cabin to tho White House than mutton healthy, pure and nutritious an innocent animal food. I may be a littlo partial to wool, laughter but I am certainly and unequivocally in favor of .all kinds of articles needed by the people of this country being produced within this country. I ippiause. j i ms is ine rigit principle ana no amount of sophistry will ever successiuny couiuie it. lappiausc.j a tiujik n is our birthright to raise in these United States of America every necessity, in evcrv department of life, that our people rcauire. and I firmly believe that to attempt to refute it is to attempt to throttle our growing sxrcngiu anu inuepenuence as a nation.' Great applause.! If we recall the fctate of onrmanufacturing industries a fow years ago, a man of lny age can remember tne Kina ot launcs our mothers made, lhe articles of cotton they wore cost them from 8 3-4 cents to S7 1-2 cents, and I distinctly 11 1 1 1. rr a . i . recan as iiign as oti ccuis per yam oeing paid. Now the identical articles can be bought for from 3 cents to 4 cents, or, at the highest, 6 cents per yard. Now. tho im portant question I wish to bring before you is: w hat has causeu this wonderful reduction in prices, this capacity of a dollar to manifest the actual purchasing power of three dollars only a generation ago? Surely a commercial change has never been more rapidly wrought. The cause may be tola in three woras: competition dia it. That is all. Nothing else was needed to revolutionize the trade of America, and this competition has been evidently beneficial to our progress in many ways. but always within certain bounds and because it was within the lim its of this country. I should like to see Indiana with Hocks of sheen on everv hill. While our State, perhaps, is not as thor oughly adapted to wooi-cmture as 6onie others, still wherever our farmers are fav orably situated to raise sheep, they should bv all means endeavor to no so. lor thev are one of the most profitable and solid invest ments the fanner can make. Your industry is a most promising one, ana aeserves tne protection you claim for it." Applause. Atter tne uovernors speecu tne con vention heard two more interest ing topics discussed: "Difficulties to be Overcome by Beginners." by Roland Yerks, and "How to Treat Wounds and Diseases incnlent to isheep," by ur. l'ritchard, after which the annual election of ofiicers was nem, lesumug as iuiiuwb.

The eighteenth annual meeting of the Indiana Short-horn Breeders Association was held at the Statc-houso yesterday afternoon. Agricultural Hall, where in occurred was crowded to overflowing, with the followers of this industry, there being, it is said, over four hundred members of tho society in this State, and many times that number of professional breeders. Many moro members will arrive this evening. Tho early hours of the aftqrnoon were so taken up with general business as to limit the papers and addresses to that of the president and discussion of one paper. Tho president's address was practically a complete review of the cattle market, while principally referring to short-horns. He said that cattle had been, as a rule, entirely free from contagious7 diseases this year; but, notwithstanding tho improvement iu quality, beef had averaged exceedingly low in price, far too low to bo anything like satisfactory 'to the breeder. The short-horns which Jiad sold bo low he had generally found to be in very poor condition, due to breeders failing to maintain their herds in a fat and hearty condition, which was largely attributable to tho sharp decline m prices. Cattle positively must bo plump if -the farmer wfshea to get anything like a recompense for his labor. If farmers expect to be recompensed they must fatten their cattle, and oppose tho Western ranch system. A division has occurred in the association over two paper, the Short-horn Magazine and the Indiana Farmer. It centers around Walter J. Quick, tho secretary, who favor the former, while, it is said, a majority of the members preferthe Farmer. The meeting will be continued to-day.

BEFORE THE JURY AND JUDGES. United States Deputy Marahals Scouring the Country for Witnesses Tho United States grand jury, of which W. T. Leonard is foreman, while a substitute is keeping a place for him on tho doorkeeper's iforco of tho House, is in doubt abont the . time of its final adjournment. Deputy Marshals Taylor and Stein were Bcouring tjhe country day before yesterday with their pockets full of summonses and a warrant or two for the arrest of some already indicted, if they shouldhappento run . across them in their wanderings. The majority of indictments so far returned are not considered of sufficient iraportaucc, it seems, to bring the prisoners hero. It is the purpose to servo a warraut, allow tho prisoner to give bail at his home and then let him go until court convenes. A stock of warrants is read3 to be given to the deputies when they can find time from corralling witnesses, to attend to making arrests. While tho depnty marshals are waiting for the word "go," the jury does not know whether to adjourn finally tq-morrow, or take a breathing spell by setting asido work to-day until Monday. The sooner an adjournment is had the earlier Lc jnard will be enabled to tako up his duties at the House of Representatives as chief of the spittoon gang. He says ho has

drawn no pay from the State as yet, but that his substitute gets tho wages until he is ready to become an assistant door-keeper in fact. Amos S. Hart, one of the jurymen, who is on the Senate pay-roll as an assistant door-keeper, says the same thing. Hut in the Auditor of State's office is a voucher, signed "Amos S. Hart," upon which a warrant for 80-0 has been issued, for his services, as assistant door-keeper. Senator Carpenter, who is to be robbed of his seat by the Democrats so Scott Ray can have it. has, ho says, been indicted by this jury. The charges against him are those paraded b3' tho Democratic majority of the committee on elections. The jury examined witnesses, j-esterday, from Montgomery' Jay, Henry, Newton, and Wayne counties. Mrs. Martin's Grievances. Rebecca J. Martin has begun proceedings for a divorce from John V. Martin. She, after charging cruelty, failure to provide and use of abusive language, supplements these grievances with the allegation that Martin has. for several years past, been in the habit of collecting all rents from property which, she claims, was purchased with her money before their marriage. He refuses to turn over to her any portion of tho rents: A restraining order is asked for by Mrs. Martin against the removal of any of their household goods until tho suit is decided. She also asks for the custody of their five children and five thousand dollars' alimony. . Notes from the Docket. In the Criminal Court. vesterdav.William Owens and James Harper, fifteen aud 6event een years of age, respectively, plead ed guilty to stealing ten geese from H. W. Evans. They were released on promise of good behavior. Fred Patterson, who was convicted of stealing a lot of corpenter's tools from Zachanah Landers last month, was sentenced by Judge Irwin, of the Criminal Court, yesterday, to one year in the State prison, besides being fined $100. Henry Alford was declared insane yesterday oy a board composed of Doctors J. P. Heath and L. L. Todd and Justices of Peace H. D. Sterrett and Wm. H. Benny.

Harrell. RushC.C, AfiirmetL Elliott, C. J. Under our statutes a married woman may contract as a femme sole, except in such cases as are expressly forbidden. Contracts between husband and wife concerning personal property, where there is entire good faith and full consideration, will be upheld by the courts. But in actions by the husband on such contracts he must show not only an express contract, but that in equity and good conscience ho is entitled to enforco his contract. In this case tho husband advanced money to his wife to use in her separate business, to prevent actions from being brought against him, and he is entitled to enforce her express contract to repay. No. 13409. John J. Brake vs. Marv E. Sparks et al. Vigo C. C. Affirmed. Olds, J. Where the mortgagee of real estate receives payments from the mortga geor, ostensibly as rent for the mortgaged premises, under a contract providing for the application of the payments on the mortgage debt in certain contingencies, but not declaring a forfeiture of the payments so made, in case of the non-happening of tho contingencies the payments so made will, on loreclosure, bo applied on the mortgage debt. No. 134(S. Bridget Patterson vs. Henry Rosenthal. Fountain C. C. Affirmed. Cottey, J. A judgment creditor of a mortgageor redeeming from a foreclosure sale succeeds to all the rights of tho mortgagee. Such redemption does not satisfy the foreclosure judgment in such sense that if tho rederaptioner resell the property to satisfy his judgment as provided in the statute, the wife's inchoate interest will vest. The secured sale is on both judgments, and the wife, having joined in tho mortgage, will be barred on 6uch second sale as much as ; on the original foreclosure sale. .No. 13013. Odd-fellows' Mutual Aid Association vs. Frances M. Swetser. Marion. S. C. Affirmed. Mitchell. J. It is not a de parture to 6et up new matters by way of replication or auuitionai zaccs not; inconsistent with those averred iu the com plaint. If a mntual aid society by agree ment, often acted upon by both parties. extends the time of paying assessments, it will not bo heard to assert a forfeiture, after the death of the assured, because he had taken the time given by such agree ment, though ho be delinquent by the terms of the original certificate.

A DE3IENTED NEGKOS CLAIM, Trying1 to Collect 8300,000,000 from Charles Francis Adams. Boston Special. A candidate for a lunatic asylum. Rufus Jackson, a patriarchal darky of enormous stature, is in town trying to make Charles Francis Adams pay him XtyOW.Wu. The ailair is throughont so supremely ridiculous that the whole city is laughing over it. The old fellow lives in Putnam, Conn., where he savs he was annomted a mission ary to go West and convert the heathen. him two trunks and a barrel of gold to use in his praiseworthy undertaking, lho gold, which was $300,000,000, was stolen from him after he had it three days. He was thinking how he could get up to Bos- . . i j ii i f urn i ton to claim it, ana was idling nis uinicuities to three men in the station, when one of them said that Charles Francis Adams was in Putnam and would give him a check for the lost o00,000,000, and that ho could gCb it CaSUCU ill U UiWXIV IU VUUUCCUL-Ut withont going to Boston. 'And." added tho old man. "they took mo to a man and he give mo do check." Findimr that ho could not collect tho money in Putnam, he refused to give up tho check to tno uauK tuere, ana waikcu to Boston to follow up his claims against Mr. Adams. On reaching the city, the old fel low went at once to Charles h. McDonald, and offered him one-third of the amount if he would make thecollection. He did not go to Mr. Adams, because he said he was nf raid he'd cheat him out of it. McDonald learned that the old missionary had reached Boston with only live cents in his pocket, but by virtue of tho check in his possession was taken in by colored people at the West; Knd. and treated like an Ethiopian prince. They promised to return the next" day at 10 o'clock, in tno meantime inr. jucuonaio. who bv this time had entered heartily into the joke, called at Mr. Adams's office and told him about the negro and ins nogus the following morning. The scene in Mr. Adams's oflice was amusing. The president of tho Union Pacific and his brother, John Onincv Adams, were together when the old man and his lawyer entered. Ho hobbled inonhiscane and stood looking at tne group. Sir. McDonald said: "xou say some man nainea cnaries r rancis Adams gave you mis cneciw in ruinam, Conn.T" "Yes, sah." "Could you tell this man if you saw him?', "Vesj sah, I could." "Which of these two gentlemen is Mr. Adams?" "Neither of dem is Mr. Adams," he said, iromptly, "but, hold oil," he added as he ooked them over more carefull v. Then ho walked to C. F. Adams, and taking that gentleman's head between Ins hands. lean ing over to peer into his face, he repeated the same process with Johu Quincy Adams, and they both submitted gracetuliy. ihen staudinir back, he slowly said: 4,Dat's do man, dat's de man," pointing at Charles Francis, "you's de man. I can tell. I can tell." "Are you sure of it!" "Yes sah. I'se sure of it." "Where was Mr. Adams when he gave you this check!" "In Putnam, Conn." "How long agof" "Two months aco." "What was he doing at the time he gave you this check!" "Workhr tho pick an1 6hovel onde railroad. Yes, I'se found you. Say, boss, aro you going to nav dat air check!" Mr. Adams and his brother and the whole group there were several gentlemen presentwere convulsed vith laughter, and yet there was a streak of pathos in tli the old neirro's disappointment when Mi Adams demonstrated that ho was the wrong man and the signature of the nogus check was wholly unlike his own handwriting. " on had better tear this check up," ho said, as he held it in his hand. The negro darted across tho room, grabbed his precious paper in his trembling lingers and thrust it away in his pocket, crying, "No, no, no; don't you dare tear dis check up." He refused to be convinced of its worthlessness. The man was at last persuaded to leave the oflice. protesting that ho would lind another lawyer to collect the bill if Mr. McDonald could not. A ToUtlcal Fable. Albany Journal. The Fox was discoursing to a select party of animals on tho decadence of morals aud the dishonesty of Man. He waxed so eloquent that an indictment was talked of, and the Jackass talked of starting a new mugwump paper to advocate civil-service reform. When the Fox turnwl around to leave the platform it was observed that his tail had been cut off close to Ijis body by a steel trap located near some farmer's hen roost. Then the animals all got out their calendars and noticed that it was about tho 4th of March and they smiled and said, "We will see you later." Moral The Fox was in the soup. s "o CUm Trust for $Ir.

The female sutTrasrists who lift Washington up to tho higher plane of politics onco a year are at their work agaiu, and. with Senator Blair in the midst ot them, aro shouting for reform at 25 cents admission.

The districts adjoining Aujcr wero 6wept by immense tidal wives at the time, which depopulated wide areas of country. The lands laid waste and cleared of inhabitants soon relapsed into junglo which afforded welcome cover to these beasts of prej'. Their numbers and daring may be judged of from the fact that whole villages have had to bo abandoned by their inhabitants as tho only way of escape from ticers. Tho latter, last year, killed no less .than frixty-one persons there. To remedy the evil, the government of Java lias rawed the reward for killing tigera from 100 to 00 guilders a head. Jlayard'a Diplomacy, ". New York Graphic. The agreement of international amity in Samoa between this government. England and Germany is now disclosed to have hen secretly made by Secretary Bayard . with the representatives of those nations, Lord Sackvulo and Baron Alvesleben, and to have been withheld from the Senate when the correspondence over tho Samoan difficulty was transmitted to it by the Secretary. This calls, at least, for an explanation, and might bo serious enough to call for a removal or impeachment of the Secretary, He seems to have been setting up a little government of his own and running it to suit himself until he got into trouble, when he seeks to shirk the responsibility on some one else. . . Would Not Be an Acter. Chicago MaiL To bo the pampered pet of society may have its charms, its lleeting glamour, yet to have even an heiress tagging after you may not be all that it is cracked up to be, especially if that heiress is a littlo "touched," as it were, and carries a revolver in her pocket, ready to tdioot her adored, one because ho will not throw up a profitable engagement and fly with her. finch is the unhappy lot of Kyrle Bellew. and yet ho is considered to be pretty well up at tho top of the heap. There may be romance in the actor's life, but there is a heap more satisfaction in some steady oflice job, where a man can grab oil' about 10,000 a year and go home and sleep o' nights, liko a gentleman. Klght Hours Work and Ten Honrs Tay. New, York Sun. The American Federation of Labor seems not to have considered, or to regard as of no consequence, the inevitable addendum which must be made to their programme. However enthusiastically their mass-meetings might greet tho cry of "eight hours for work, eight hours for rest, eight hours for what we will,?' tho cry of "eight hours' pay for eight hours' work" would deaden the enthusiasm. Yet it is as certain that ten hours' pay cannot bo had for eight hours' work as it is that ten inches do not make a foot. Protecting the Ilallet Corps. Minneapolis Tribune.
