The Coroner of Johnson County I'-egins His Investigation at the Insane UwDital. Coroner Jones, of Johnson county, put in the greater part of the day at the Hospital for the Insane, investigating the death at that dubious institution of Lawson Abbott, of Franklin. Abbott was brought to the Hospital for the Insane on Monday, Feb. 3. Two days later he was a dead man. The body, which was sent to Franklin, was examined upon arrival, and found to be badly bruised, one wound of special severity being found upon tho head. The Coroner, who had previously made a post-mortem, examined a number of witnesses at the hospital without leading to any satisfactory conclusion so far, the evidence being contradictory of what the friends of the deceased claim and of tho result of the post-mortem which showed that the organs of Abbott were normal. Dr. Galbraith, superintendent, attributed Abbott's death to exhaustion, and says ho knows nothing of any wound or bruise about the body, except a discoloration of one eye caused bv Ma bump" received whilo being bathed. The superintendent admits that he did not examine the bodv of tho patient but says he has it from "reliable attendants'' that there were no wounds about the body or head. On the other hand, and diiTerincr, to some extent, from Superintendent Galbraith's testimony, the Franklin papers say that on the top of Abbott's head was a fresh scalp wound over two inches long, evidently inliicted by a square-cornered instrument, and that beneath the wound the brain, contained bloody adhesions caused bv the wound, while there were braises on tho breast and on the right aim. An employe at the hospital says the attendants have the best opportunities for concealing an abuse that may occur; that they can always fix up a story about tho injury having been done by the patient to himself a story that is rendered plausible by the fact that violent patients do sometimes hurt themselves badly. This employe a lo charges that the officers frequently assist in concealing abuses. Dr. Thomas's testimony was taken, but it was in line with that of l)r. Galbraitn, that the man died from natural causes. Sett sideboards at Wn, L. Elder

GENERAL UARKIS0XS VISITORS. j Affairs of Xew 3rexico and Washington Territory Called to Hi Attention.

Among tho visitors to'the President-elect yesterday, was James V. Spradling, managing editor of tho Xew Mexican, published at Santa Fe and the leading Republican paper of Xew Mexico. Mr. Spradling brought letters of introduction from AV. V. Grillin, chairman, and Mr. Twitchell, secretary of tho Territorial Republican committee. loth these letters reqncted General Harrison to favor Mr. Spradling. with his attention. He formerly lived in Arkansas and is a warm and close personal friend of Hon. Powell Clayton, whom he favors for a Cabinet position. General Harrison received him courteously and in response to the suggestion concerning ex-Governor Clayton said he could not intiraato what ho should do regarding any Cabinet positions, but would take suggestions into his careful consideration. Speaking of Xew Mexico, Mr. Spradling said the best clement of tho Republican party wants the Territory admitted to statehood, and the opposition which has appeared lately in tho papers comes from Democrats and one or two bankers who think they will lose their grip on affairs if it becomes a State. In conversation with the reporter Mr. Spradling denied that the records of the Territory are kept in Spanish, as has been alleged and widely circulated. He, asoublic printer, knows they are kept in English, butthat tho laws, as in otherStates, are printed in other languages than English. In Xew Mexico Jaws are printed in Englishand Spanish, as was once customary in California, while in Texas the laws are printed in three languages, English, Spanish and German. Ho said that tho three leading candidates for Governor of New Mexico are Joseph W. Dryer, ot Raton, formerly of Indiana; L. Bradford Prince, of Santa Fe. who was Chief-justice under President Hayes, and A. L. Morrison, the well-known Irish Republican campaign orator, who-was United States marshal under President Arthur. In his conversation with General Harrison Mr. Spradling said to the President-elect that he could not do anything that would convej'inore satisfaction, to the entire Territory than tho prompt removal of George W. Julian. Mr. Spradling says that Judge Catron recently voiced the general sentiment when he said that no man had done more injury to. the interests of the people of the Territory ol.New Mexico than Mr. Julian. John B. Allen, of Walla Walla, W. T.. formerly a resident of Crawfordsville, bnt whft left Indiana nineteen years ago to make his home in Washington Territory, was in the city yesterday, and. in company with Hon. John M. Butler, of this city, and Judge Gould, of Delphi, called upon Gen. Harrison. In conversation with tho reporter Mr. Allen said that the feeling in his rerritorv was that, with proper treatment, it was destined to bo an assured Republican State. He said the desire for statehood 1 intense and universal. The late political contest there was a prominent national issue, although the question of statehood entered largely into it. This desire is shown v the masses of the people, as well as by those who are concerned in politics. Tho question of territorial admission is now one of national importance. The feeling is strong that General Harrison is possessed of fnli knowledge of the Territories, and is going to deal practically and wisely with them. "Of course," said Mr. Allen, 'I made no suggestion as to Cabinet positions or anything of that kind. My visit was brief, but pleasant." It is understood that tho visitors from the Territories, with scarcely an exception, speak to Qeneral Harrison of tho importanco of a special session of ConSess to be called as 60on after tho 4th of arch as possible. Capt. Samuel Walker, of Elizabeth, Pa., stopped in the city, yesterday, to nay a visit to the General. He was enroutenome from Louisville, Ky where he attended the funeral of his sister, wife of Gen. James A. Ekin. Captain Wilson was stationed in Indianapolis during the war on General E kin's stalL, and as quartermaster f nrnished the equipment for the Seventieth Indiana Regiment. . General Harrison's friends, and the members of his household, think that the demands upon his time should, from this date, be limited to the reception of those having actual business with him. Tho thousands of office-seeking letters and applications that have poured in upon him sin?o his election havo engrossed considerable of his time, and about all of private secretary Halford's, but tho most serious encroachment upon the General's time .has been inliicted by the personal visitation of those seeking something for themselves or urging the claims of their favorite Cabinet candidates. Mrs. Harrison continues to receive a Large number of letters. Aa many as twenty-live camo to her yesterday morning, the majority of them asking her to intercede with the General to secure the writers an otlice of some kind; others aro begging letters asking pecuniary assistance. As soon as Mrs. Harrison gets far enough along iu the reading of a letter to ascertain tha: it is of an oiuce-seeking character, she stops right there and consigns the epistle to her waste-basket. Mrs. Harrison's reception to-morrow afternoon, from 2 to 5 o'clock, will be her last before departing for Washington. After tomorrow she will be unable to see visitors, as she must devote tho few remaining days to preparing for the family's removal to Washington. ELECTRIC STREET RAILWAYS. The Observations of a Party of St. Louis Investigators in Cleveland, 0. A delegation of St. Louisans, including President Walter J. Blakely and Messrs. Phil Rehan, Patrick O'Mallej', Theodore P. Bell, John Vogel, Nelson Cole, Charles D. Comfort, Lyno S. Metcalfe, members of tho St. Louis City Council, and Messrs. W. T. Johnson, G. W. Baumhoff and Charles Madt, jr., representatives of a St. Louis street-railway company, registered at tho Bates House, yesterday, on their way home from Cleveland, where they had been to examine the Spraguo system of electric street railways, in use in that city. "Our principal object in going," said President Blakely, "was to examine the methods of supporting tho overhead wires, hut we looked into the entire operation of tho Cleveland road as far as practicable. Wo aro not likely to bo. called upon to pas3 any opinion upon the' merits of tho various systems in vogue. The Lindell street-railway of our city wantto operate under one of the overhead wire systems, and the question of the probable obstruction of the streets being raised, we went to Cleveland to see how the overhead plan worked there. I had in my mind an idea that the usual unsightly poles, on which telegraph wires are usually strung, would be required, and was very agreeably surprised when I found that in Cleveland slender iron masts are used, not more than two inches in diameter and eighteen feet in height. Theso are placed on each side of tho street, opposite each other, and a connecting wire across tho street supports ' the line on which the pulley connected with tho ear travels. They form no inconvenient obstructions so far as I could see, and are not unsightly iu their appearance. 'One advantage in the arrangement there is that tho wire through which tho electric current is carried, runs on one side of tho street only, and the electricity is supplied to the-pulley line by the supports on which the pulley lino rests. Thus, if tiw latter is broken at any, point, all that is necessary is to push the car past tho break, hitch on to the pullej- line again and go ahead. The return current or circuit is formed by carrying a wireunderoneof the railson which the car runs. So far as tho operation of the road in Cleveland is concerned, it seems to be all that could bo desired. It has been in use two years, and we heard no complaints against it, although it traverses Euclid avenue, ono of the best streets in the city, for a considerable distance. Travel on it has never been seriously interrupted by heavy snows or inclement weather of any kind. Cars are run regularly at the rate of nine miles an hour, and thefrspx'ed -was increased to fifteen miles an hourlor our benefit. I am satisfied that it is a great improvement over horse and cable-lino cars for city use, and that for fitiburlvan use it would answer admirabby. Mr. ' G. W. Baumhoff, the secretary of tfae Lindell Street-railway Company, who accompanied the party, said that his road had Tied the storage-battery" system, and found it lacking on tho

score both of economy and efficiency. A to the overhead plan, tho Spraguo, the Thompson-Huston and the Short systems each had their advocates, and he was not

ireiiared to decide between tnem. uui ue tad no hesitation in saying that the over-lead-wire plan Van the best that had yet been devised for electric railways. I he party spent tho afternoon in timing about the'eitv. During their drive they stopped at Genera I Harrison's residence to pay their respects to the rresmeui-eieci. They left for home on tho late train last (,'OIXG TO WASIliXGTOX. Many Clnts and Tarties Arranging to Attend the Inauguration Ceremonies. It is estimated that Indiana will furnish at least 1,3X) visitors to tho inauguration of President Harrison, perhaps 1,500. In addition to the great number that will go from Indianapolis and from tho north and west parts of tho State who will pass through here, a considerable number will go from Fort Wayne over the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago and tho Baltimore & Ohio roads. There will be a goodly number from Vincennes and other points in southern Indiana who will go over the Ohio & Mississippi road, as well as good delegations from the eastern, part of the State, especially Richmond and Connersville. Each congressional district has an agent iu Washington to look after sleeping accommodations, and the Metropolitan Hotel has been chosen as general Indiana headquarters.

Among those who will go over the Chesapeake line are the members of tho Harrison Inaugural Club, of this city, forty members, Joseph Solomon president ana Wni. Wiezel treasurer. They will occupy two coaches, a chair ear and a Pullman sleeper. The Wanamaker Club, Captain Kercneval commanding, has about concluded to go. If the club does so, it will go by the C, H. &. D. and the B. &, O. routes, and will rill four coaches. The Big Four, through John Martin, has arrangedto take the veterans of General Harrison's regiment, the Seventieth Indiana. There will be nearly 200 persons, and they will leave here on four cars, a special train, on March 1. Tho Columbia Club, of Terro Haute, about sixty persons, will go on the train carrying tho Harrison Homo Club. A. A. Barnes and others of this citjr, twenty-four persons, and another party of twenty-four, headed by J. S. Dunlop, will go in their special cars. Theso cars will go over the Big Four and Baltimore & Ohio, and on their arrival at Washington will be left on tho track at tho corner of Boundary and New York avenues.

SUXDAY SCHOOL IXSTRUCTIOX. Details and Progress of the Tlan to Promote Thoroughness of Study. The interdenoniiuation; il and international plan for the training Sunday-school teachers is meeting with -i most gratifying success, even beyond the expectations of its projectors. Tho class iwicanized in this city at the beginning of tle year now numbers over a hundred earnest students, representing thirteen dillerent churches. Their weekly sessions in tho Fir.it Presbyterian Church are full of interest, attracting visitors from abroad, who occasionally witness tho exercises with expressions of approval. Under tho auspices'-of the Indiana Sunday-school Union, the same work is bein" done in other towns of tho State. U the present time, there &ro eleven classes formed, enrolling nearly U0 persons. The instructors of these classes are selected with great care, generally from the teachers in secular schools. In this manner five colleges of the State havo contributed of their faculty experienced educators who have become greatly interested in teaching thQSumtoy-fcchool teachers. . For theso classes there is a regular course of lessons, covering two years of thirtytwo weeks each. The text-books an being prepared bv Dr. Gilbert, a series o eight in all, or four for each year. The i li st or junior grade is occupied chiefly with biblical matters. The senior grade will take up tho art of school management and oi" religious instruction, treating the whole subject of didactics, including oral, cat ec-liet-Ical, recitative and lecture methods of teaching. To insure the lessons agaflist any feature objectionable to any body of Protestants a literature council lias been formed whose approval is given before publication. That council consists of tlri3

In this he has btfevi encouraged and assisted by Dr. Rond thaler, of the Tabernacle Church, throug'li whose kindness the Lesson Guide will ha to an extensive circulation in other commu nl'ties. I ivo schools in this city have subse'ribed for tho work and will begin its use A pnl, 1. Tho organization of tins movement is unique. At every step i is under the direction of a council of seven, representing at least five different denominations. The city council, the county council, the State council, have control of tei'ir.itory according to the signification of those terms; and then there is an executive boaitl composed of presidents of State councils, w ho meet tricnnially at the same time and place as the international convention, elect- a superintendent, a treasurer and a registrar, review tho work done and plan for the l uturc. AMUSEMEXTS. GRAND OPERA-HOUSE THE B05YONIANS. The Bostonians appeared in English opera at the Grand Opera-house, last nijght, presenting Collier's comic opera "Dorothy." The organization is one of the best of its class, and although it boasts of no bright particular 6tar, who is placed to the f tre at the expenso of tho general average oi the the company, it contains a number of the most prominent artists in the profession in this country. It contains aU of those who gave caste la the old Boston Ideals, an organization which, a few seasons ago, made such, a conspicuous success. There are Marie Stone, Juliette Corden. Jessie Bartlett Davis, IL C. Barnabee, W. H. McDonald, Edwin Hofi; Tom Karl, Eugene Cowles. and others whoso names guarantee good performances, while tho chorus is 'large, well trained and handsomely costumed. It also employs its own special orchestra, and the operas presented are produced with scrupulous care and good taste. "Dorothy" is a tuneful Bttlo opera, well calculated to please, and it certainly delighted tho audience last night. The cast ineluded Juliette Cordon as Dorothy, Jessie Bartlett Davis as Lydia, Mr. Holt as Gcofrey Wilder, Mr. McDonald as Harry Sherwood, Mr. Barnabee as Lurcher, Mr. Cowles as 'Squire Bantam, Josephine Bartlett as Mrs. Rrivett, and J. A. Montgomery as John Tuppett. Miss Corden is comparatively new to m the stage, but she has a pure soprano voice of . good compass, which was heard to good advantage last night. Miss Davis's Lydia was ono of the conspicuous successes of the evening. Mr. Hofrs voice, though not particularly strong, is a very clear, sweet tenor. Mr. Barnabee never fails to please, and as a comedian he has few equals in opera. Mr. McDonald's rendition of tho solo, "She Is Oueen of My Heart To-night," was sung with tine effect and was warmly rceived. The quartet 'I Swear to Bo Always True," and the quintet at the close of tho first act, were the gems of the evening. The chorus was particularly effective, being much larger than those usually employed, and tho performance generally excellent. To-night "Mignon" will be given, with Marie Stone, Corden, Tom Karl, Cowles, Montgomery, Dixon and Nichols in the cast. To-morrow "Don Pasqualo" will be given at the matinee, and "Pygmalion and Galatea" (new here) will be presented at night. At the matinee, prices will be 75 and 50 cents down stairs, family circle 25 cents. FARK "PECK'S BAD BOY." It doesn't take much material to make a farce-comedy in these days, for they depend largely on the cleverness of the people employed in their presentation, and the music and specialties introduced. "Peck's Bad Boy," which was seen for the first time here at the Park yesterday, has somo substance to it, and the requisito accessories. It is founded on the scries of sketches by George W. Peck, of the Milwaukee Sun, and, as put on the stage, it is full of the most amusing incidents, uproarious "horse nlay," and general hilarity. The company includes a number of people who can sing and dance, and altogether they give a t-eezy and entertaining performance. Master Fleming plays the "bad boy" cleverly, and the company otherwise are competent. There were 'large audiences at both performances yesterdaj, and tho laughter was continuous. The piece will run aU week, with the usual matinees daily. It is likely to draw large audiences. NOTES. The Eden Museehasa "Cowboys' Convention" this week, and it drew crowds j-esterday. A dozen or more genuine wild West cow boys, headed by "Broncho John," a celebrity in his way, picturesquely dressed, and doing various interesting things, are the attraction, and they will remain all week. Seats will be on Bale this morning for the performance of "Running Wild," by John Wild and his company, at English's Thursday evening. During the rest of the week, the old favi-rites, Evans and Hoey, will appear in "A Parlor Match," the eal of

seats for which will begin to-morrow morn

ing. , , The salo of seats for Mary Anderson's engagement continued at English's vest crday, and there was a steady demand all day. Applications were received from jnany out-of-town parties for seats. Thvfe arc yet excellent seats for both performances to bo obtained at the box-ollice, but they arc not likely to remain there long. The. engagement is the dramatic event of rtlip season, and there is very great interest in it. Chinese IMd Oil the Opium. United States Marshal Hawkins has returned from San Francisco, Cal., after a three weeks' trip. Tho marshal went to San Francisco to dispose of tho smoking opium captured hero last summer. Ho sold tho lot, 4$ pounds, at-an averago price of nearly $12 a round, $5,533 for the whole. Tho duty is $10 a pound, practically a prohibitory one. The.Chineso bidders evidently put their heads together to keep down the price. There was but one American who succeeded in getting any, a Mr. Mansfield, and he probably was sorry that ho did, as ho afterwards tried to dispose of his purchase and found that the Celestials had shut him out. The Chinese buyers were Kueng Lung. Kucng Sun Lung and tho Oriental Company. The marshal gave five hours to the celebration of Chinese New Years in Chinatown, on the 29th of January, which is New Years eve among tho Mongolians. Trouble in a Synagogue. A quarrel that led to a fight occurred, on Saturday, at the meeting of the South Meridian-street Orthodox Jewish Sj'nagogue. The officiating rabbi, Simon Glassmon, is strongly antagonized by some of the members. It is the regular usage of the congregation for ten laymen to unite in the right of prayer to a given point, when the rabbi prays. Now, Harry Bernstein had been elected to this office, and, when Glassmon attempted to act, a free fight instantly followed. Bernstein has filed a a charge of assault and battery and of disturbing a religious meeting before 'Squire Feibleman against 6ix members of the church. Some Prospect for Ice. Fully 500 men were employed yesterday aX ternoon, on ponds north of the city, cutting ice. The packers expect this morning to commence cutting ice 6ix to seven inches thick on the canaL One of tho largest packers says that at that time there will be 1,000 men or more at work, as every man who wants to work is being hired.
