dividual that had been selected for Uncle. Lara's service. All attempts to secure information on the subject were without avail, as neither Mr. Blaine nor any of his subordinates in the State Department "would give any information even to their wannest congressional friends. To-day the list -was announced. The appointments are all ainong the most important, and while there are not so many of them as it was thought there would be, they afford general satisfaction to those who have to do with the consular service. It is understood that another batch of smaller consulates are listed to be filled, and that Mr. Blaine's recommendations are in the hands of the President for his early consideration. Mr. Blaine will leave Washington for the summer, it is said, the latter art of next week, and for this reason the jelief is quite, general that to-day's appointments will be followed by a great many more within the next seven days. The Appointees. Washington, June 15. The President made the following appointments to-day: Wakefield G. Frye, of Maine, to bo consul-general of the United Mates at Halifax. Joseph A. Leonard, of Minnesota, to be consulgeneral of the United fctates at Shanghai. Zachary T. Sweeney, of Indiana, to be consulgeneral of the United fctatea at Constantinople. Oliver II.

Roopevelt. of Pennsylvania, to be consul-general of the United States at Brussels. Ivi w. Browne, of Ohio, to be consul of the United States at Glasgow. IMPORTANT PENSION KUXING.

A Decision That Overrides a Previous One and Affects Many Like Cases. Washington, Juno 15. In granting a pension to Ollie M. French, widow of Jefferson French. Assistant Secretary Bussey to-day annulled tho nilo set down in the Edwin R. Tucker case of Feh. 8. 1886, in which -it was held that Section 4715, R. S., is restneted to such pensions as are granted under the general law, and has no application to a pension granted by special act, and that the effect of a special act granting a pension is to cut oifthe pensioner from all claim- to arrears or any other benetits provided by tho general pension law. In tho case in point, French made application in January, 1874, for pension: nut his claim was rejected, for lack of evidence. Ho then applied to Congress, and by special act of June 20, 1874, was granted a pension. French died in June, 185. His widow liled a claim r for pension under the general law, baaed upon the same disability alleged by her husband in his invalid claim, and her claim was admitted and pension allowed, to commence from the date of tiling her declaration. She, however, claimed arrears, under the general law which her husband would have been entitled to bad he completed his original invalid claim. and as she, in proving up her claim, had. therefore, cured any effect that was originally in her case, she tiled an application for arrears of pension due her husband. The Pension Office rejected her claim, and tho Interior Department sustained the Pension Office, on the ground that her hnsband, having received a pension nnder special act, neither he nor she could claim or receive anything under tho general pension law. Mr., Bussev overrules this view of the meaning of the law, and directs that Mrs. French receive the accrued pension due her husband from the date of his discharge from the service to the date of tho commencement of the pension granted him by thofpecial act. In closing tho case Mr. Bnssey directs that all cases of a similar nature (of which there aro many) shall be adjudicated on tho rules laid down in this case. MINOK MATTERS. Congressmen Will Kesist Attempts to Pat the Census Bureau Under Civil-Service Rales. Facial to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, June 15. Tho Civil-service Commissioners are determined to bring the appointments under Census Superintendent Porter within the classified list, if they can possibly do go. and with this idea they, in a letter, called the attention of the President to the subject, and practically asked that tho rules bo so amended that applications must all pass through their hands. This programmo will doubtless bo resisted with vigor by members of Congress, and it is generally believed that Secretary Noble will also adviso the President against construing tho law so as to cover the Census Bureau in the classified service. The appointments are, by the very nature of things, only temporary, and it is argued that, inasmuch as there are so many men, expert in tho business ot tho census, who are anxious to get appointed, that it will inure to the benefit of all concerned to keep this bureau outside of the palo of the Civhserv ice Commissioners' bailiwick, and members of Congress and others interested believe that these efforts will bo successful.

Deadly Battle That Ensued When a White Man Was Brought Before a Colored Justice. Austin, Tex., June 15. There are conflicting reports about the cause of the bloody shooting affray, which occurred eighteen miles southeast of this city on Thursday evening, in which four white men and five negroes were killed and many others wounded. From one version it appears that in the neighborhood where the trouble occurred a colored justice of the peace. Orange Wickes, and a colored constable, Isaac "Wilson, were recently elected. The justice had issued a warrant lor one A. D. Litten, white, and it was put into the hands of Wilson. Soon afterwards the latter met Litton, and informed him he had a warrant for his arrest, and proceeded to read it. Litton remarked that it was no use to read the warrant, for he would not be arrested by a" nicrger." Quite a crowd had gathered, and V ilson's friends advised that he place the warrant in the hands of a white constable. This ho did, and Litton was arrested, but declared he would not be tried before a colored justice. Notwithstanding hisprotest,ho was carried before Justice Wickes, whose court was in session. The room was crowded with blacks and whites. In the court-room Litton was very abusive, and finally words grew to blows, and then to the use of six-shooters and Winchesters. Justice Wickes and Litton were riddled with bullets, and died immediately. The colored constable was also killed, as was a negro named Bell. A spectator was tilled with lead, and died soon after. Houston Moore, a colored boy, was also killed by a stray bullet. Alexander Nolan and George Schof. both white men, were shot down and instantly killed, as was another white man, whose name could not be learned. The affair created intense excitoment in the neighborhood, and it is said that at least 100 armed men gathered on the ground ready to renew the fight, but all has been quiet, so far as known here. Sheriff White, of this city, sent a strong force down to the scene of the trouble yesterday, and he anticipates no further fight mg. -PREFERRED PRISON TO SEPARATION. Sensational Incident in a Suit Where TwoWomen Claim to Be the Mother of the Same Child. Cincinnati, Jane 15. A sensational scene was enacted this morning in Judge Outcalt's court, the Common Fleas. He has had in hearing and under consideration for several montha an unusual habeas cor pus case, where two women claim to be tho mother of the child for whom the writ was issued. Miss Katie Schaller averred that she gave birth to an illegitimate child, and placed it in tho hands of Mrs. Humbser, the mm WHO. to fuapose ui, auu iuai imts. Humbser placed it in the family of Mr. W. J. White to be adopted. Subsequently Aliss bchaller wished to recover possession of her child, and applied to Mrs. V lute. when that lady informed her that the baby she had was not an adopted child, but was her own. Tho testimony before the court was most conflicting, but Mr. and Mrs. White brought many witnesses to show that tho disputed baby was theirs. Ihey have had it in chanre dnriner the trial. To-davthe judge was to render the de cision, but Mrs. White appeared in court without tho child. When asked by the court where it was. Mrs. White, in a de termined manner, answered: "Judge Outcalt. 1 was submitted to a severe examina tion the other day. andl understood you were going to decide against me, and I have protected my child. I know the conse quences, and I am here to abide by them, and if I havo to stay in prison ten years I am satished, so, if at the end of that time, I have my darling." This renlv. of course, made a sensation. Her attorney promptly disclaimed having advised this course of action, and asked that his client have time to reflect. The court said that if Mrs. White did not produce the child she must sutler tho conse quences of contempt of court, and he allowed her till noon to consider. The reso lute mother for two hours was urged by her attorney and friends to produce the child. but at the end of the time she remaiued firm and went bravely to jail under sen tence of the court for contempt. Meantime the judge withholds his decision of the merits of tho case. PREPARATORY COLLEGES. An Interesting Exhibition by the Younger Un dergraduates at DePauw.

ALEX. SULLIVAX'S RELEASE

The Judge's Decision Admi tted to Be J ust and Proper by Friends and Enemies, The Grand Jury Examines Many Witnesses Without Eliciting Any New Evidence De cision in the New York Cases Reserved. Chicago, June 15. Alexander Sullivan friends were jubilant to-day. Lawyer George A. Trade said, referring to the effects of Judge Tuley's decision: This is but the beginning of tho fight Remember it is the first and only test yet had of all that mass of slander, gossip and hear say. Not one of those men who showed their malice in every word -while telling what they 'believed," and thought, and imagined, was duly crossexamined, nor has a single witness yet been called in behalf of Mr. Sullivan; yet J udge Tuley says there is not a word in the 1,200 pages of typo-written testimony on which a jury could convict. Now, just imagine a genuine trial in which Sullivan and his witnesses could be heard. Sullivan's office is in tho very next building to tho coroner's office, but he never was even asked for information. From all over tho country Mr. Sullivan has been receiving letters and telegrams expressing indigna tion at the course pursued towards him, and tendering him any aid and sympathy. He has steadily refused to allow any use to be made of these communications, or any mention of them, but I can take tho respon sibility of saying that his friends will now betrin to havo their confidence in him justi fied." "What do vou think of Judce Tulev's decision releasing Alexander teullivan on "1 think it was all right very just and proper. 1 rto not tnink tne evidence ueioro the coroner's juror was sufficient to war rant bullivan being held witnout bail, and to my mind Judge Tuley was perfectly jus tified in his decision".'7 'Do vou think the evidence of the cor oner's jury sufficient to warrant an indictment of Mr. Sullivan?" 'No. I do not. Unless additional evidence is produced, I do not think there are sufficient grounds for his indictment." "Do vou exnect that evidence to be forth coming, and do you expect Mr. Sullivan to be indicted! 1 "That is rather difficult to answer. I might say, though, that I do anticipate an indictment against Snlliuan, but still I can not say that 1 nave any real grounds for such expectation." The Grand Jury's Investigation. Chicago, June 15. The special grand jury in the Cronin case began its fourth day's session this morning, and tho indica tions are that several days yet will be consumed ere the jury is prepared to mako its final report. A long array of witnesses have been subpoenaed, and the jury evinced a determination to inquire into the most minute details of the case. Dan Brown, the Stanton-avenue officer, who preferred the charges of treason against Cronin, for which the latter was tried and expelled from the Clan-na-Guel, was tho first witness called to-day. Ho was subjected to a most rigorous examination as to the details of the workings of tho Clan-na-Gael or United Brotherhood, and required to give his reasons for having originally suspected Cronin of treason to the cause. Tho witness denied that he had been actuated by undue malice against Cronin, and insisted that he had preferred his charges against tne latter entirely upon his own motion, and had been in nowise intluenced by Alexauder Sullivan. John W. and Stewart L. Moore, of the firm of J. T. Lester &, Co., brokers, were again called upon to explain certain de tails in the matter of Sullivan's specula tions on tne lioard oi irade. Patrick McGary and his wife were tho next witnesses called. McGary iRfas a 'warm, personal friend of Dr. Crouiniiamlj was one of thoso to whom tho latter so freouentlv expressed fears of Dersonal violence at the hands of opposing factions of the brotherhood. Mcuary's evidence was voluminous, but rather devoid of special interest, lie gavo the name of tho committee before whom Cronin was tried and by whose verdict the Doctor was ex pelled from the organization, and recited 60 far as his information permitted the nat ure of the evidence adduced on that oc casion, and the part taken by Sullivan in ii... : r i .i a i j the result of his recent visit to Canada for the purpose of investigating the Toronto story, and ascertaining whether any collusion existed between reporter Long ana w. J. fctarkey. ine witness was unable to reveal anything new in this mat ter, repeating substantially the same story told before the coroner's jury and several tunes published. Mrs. McGary's testimony was quite unimportant, she being only able to corroborate ner husband in recard to Dr. Cronin frequently expressing fears for nis lite. At 11 o'clock officer Palmer submitted to the jury Dr. Cronin's secret papers, and tuey were uleu away for future examination. Thomas Murphy, treasurer of camp iNo. 20, Ulan-na-Gael, to which Dr. Cronin be longed, was called upon and produced tho papers and partial records of thatorganizatiou. His daughter, Miss Annie Murphy, reiterated to the jnry her oft-told 6tory i - i : ti f : tk..i 1 i UUU t Jllg BCQU JLT1. V 1 I'll I LI Ull IIIO BUCCl car, and apparently bound for the depot, at a time, as subsequent events prove, he was cold in death. Miss Murphy still insists that the man she saw was Dr. Cronin. or his ghost, and adheres emphatically to all tho details of her original story. Hardly did she admit the possibility of it having been a case of mistaken identity. Sho was cross-questioned somewhat rigorouslv by the jurv; but maintained the stubborn position winch she has assumed ever since the discovery of Dr. Cronin's body. Cornoner Hertz was called upon dunne the forenoon to aid the jury in the wav ot suggestions as to any avenues of information toward which inquiries might well bo directed. Some sensation was created this after noon when Thomas C. Windes. Alexander fcullivan's law-nartner, mounted the 6teps and entered the grand jury room. Mr. "Windes was detained by the jury for nearly an hour, and great speculation was indulged in as to tho nature of his 'testimony. It finally transpired that Mr. Windes had been questioned minutely as to his information regarding Sullivan's speculations on the Board of Trade, and whether thoinone3 used by the Irish leader was the funds of the Clan-na-Gael organization. The witness knew but little regarding Sullivan's private speculations, and, it is stated, was unable to give the jury any valuable information. The only other witnesses wero Thos. Tierney and Kitty Murphy. Tierney is the employe of the ice man, O'Snilivan, and is the person arrested last night as a suspect. Kitty Murphy is the domestic in the ice man s home. So far as known when tho grand jury adjourned their testimony was unimportant. Tierney cwas released from custody this evening. L. D. Tarker, superintendent of the Postal Telegraph Company, was in the grand jury room for a 6hort time during tho day. He was questioned regarding telegrams which it was thought might have fassed between Chicago and Hammond, nd., the place where the suspects are said to havo stopped over after leaving Chicago. Argument in the New York Cases. New'Yobk, June 15. Judge Andrews, In the Court of Oyer and Terminer, heard amiments to-daj upon the writs of habeas corpus in the the caws of Maroney and McDonald. The court was crowded with spectators. Assistant District Attorney Macdona read the returns to the writ.-. Including the telegram from Chicago, and an atlldavit made thereon by detective VonGerichten, together with the subsequent commitment by the police magistrate. Coum el for Maroney proceeded to read a statement acainst these proceedings as a traverse, but the Judge told him it was a demurrer. Then counsel for McDonald read a demurrer on behalf of his client. In It McDouald denies that he is guilty of or had any complicity In the Cronin murder, and denies that on or about May 4, lft 89, or atony time, he fled from the State of Illinois, lie further alleges that he was not in the city of Chicago or the State of Illinois in

May last, and -has not been since the year 1882. but that every day during the months of April and May last he was in the State of New York.

Judge Andrews said that this was not a demurer. tout a pieaouig. ana iucuonaia s counsel sat down and began writing a demurrer. Mr. Macdona then rehearsed the proceedings already had in the matter. The natters in the case, he said, had been sent back for verification, as they were not adequate and complete, and tho prisoner had been committed on the 12th inst. for Ave days to await further action. Mr. Mao-, dona further said that the case was yet before the Cook county grand Jury, and 'that four men were on the way here to identify Maroney and McDonald. He theu read sections of the code, which he claimed sustained his position. tmnsei ror the prisoner said the evidence Pciore the justice was not such as to authorize a warrant for any purpose whatever. There was no statement that the men were Indicted. The question of identity he characterized as a deliberate placing of the necks of Maroney and MoDonald in tho halter of Cook county by men who would swear away the lives of these two to enrich themselves. In closing, the counsel called attention to the discharge of Sullivan in Chicago. Another of the counsel for the prisoners held that the prisoners should be discharged, because. having been held for the Governor's action, that onicial refnped to grant an extradition warrant, lie claimed his client was not the roan wanted In Chicago, and said he could produce proof to show that he was at work here when supposed to be In Chicago. Justice Andrews reserved his decision, MRS. SABLVS TREATMENT. She Was Sent to the Flushing Institution at Her Own RequestHer llusband's Generosity. New York, June 15. Prompted by statements that the wife of Senator D. M. Sabin, of Minnesota, was "thrown into an insane asylum and detained there against her will while a divorce was obtained, and without the knowledge of her relatives," Mr. E. C. Tayntor. of No. 209 Broadway, New York city, has prepared this statement: Before marriage Mrs. Sabin was a member of tho family of Dr. Ilutehins, of Dauielsonville, Conn. I am a Fon-in-law of Dr. Ilutehins, and have acted as the next friend of Mrs. fcabin in this matter. Keports casting discredit on Senator Sabin were so far from the truth that they were intolerable e ven to the friends of the lady. Mrs. Sabin had herself made written application to be admitted for treatment to the institution at Flushing, L. I., where she now is. She did so because it was the best thing, and she did it after consultation with her friends, and took the step freely and without compulsion on the part of Senator Sabin, or, in fact, of any one. 1 accompanied her there and placed her in the doctor's care, and havo since frequently called upon her there, she has entire liberty of action, and is free to come and go, to receive her friends, and to communicate with them, which she continually does. At a recent interview with me, she expressed her desire to remain there as long as lossible, and afterwards wrote to me asking me to use my influence with the Senator to provide for her continued treatment there. This Seaator Sabin willingly did when asked, regardless of the great expense incurred. In fact, there has been no disposition on the part of Senator Sabin to withhold anything that would contribute to Mrs. Sabin' s comfort or welfare. Everything requested or suggested by Mrs. Sabin or myself, or any other of her relatives or friends, has been freely done, and satisfactory Sro vision has be en made for her future support y Senator Sabin. Mrs. Sabin and her friends have been fully aware of the divorce suit from the beginning to the end, and have been at all times free to oppose the suit if she or they had so desired, ller friends and relatives acknowledge that Senator Sabin has acted generously by her in his provisions for her present and future comfort, and they consider that his conduct in the whole matter has been all that could be expected under the melancholy circumstances of the case."

DYNAMITING TIIE WEECK AGE

The Channel of the Coneiiiaugh Partially Cleared of Its Great Pile of Debris. Seyeral Buildings Injured bj the Heavj Blasts Another Attempt to Destroy the Wreck by Fire The River Again Rising. JonxsTOWN, Jnne 15. Major Phillips's dynamiters have had Johnstown in a state of nervous terror all day, and this evening General Manager John Fulton, of the Cambria Iron Company, dictated a forcible protest to Goyernor Beaver, stating that the mills and olfice of the company were being ruined by tho blasts; that Adjutant-general Ha8tines had paid no attention to two re quests for its discontinuance, and that the State would be held responsible for any further damage done. The message was liled in the telegraph office, witn instructions tuat it be put upon the wire as soon as another uiast was nrea. in me meanumu, auju-tant-ceneral Hastings had gained com munication with Major Phillips, and an order to discontinue the blasting went into etiect. The message did not go to the Governor, but General Manager Fulton showed it to the press representative, and said: 'I do not hold Gen. Hastings responsible " for this dynamiting. It is the height of nonsense, however, to use such heavy blasts eo near valuable buildings. My superintendent re ports that the damp walls ot tne mills are giving wav under the shocks, and here in my own office the ceiling has opened a quarter of an inch within the past tnree hours. Buildings in Johnstown are in too delicate a condition to be trilled with by dynamiters." Major Thillips has been engaged since Wednesday in blowing out the wreckage in the channel of the Conemaugh above the stone bride. He was to have a passage for the water by this evening, and put in a 500pound blast at noon, lhe blast was placed under two buildiugs. one of which was ly ing upon the other, and both of them cov ered with logs. 1 he explosion was terrinc, and one log, large enough for a main mast, was hurled S00 feet in the air. The next blast, not being so deep, was a 400-pouuder. This one did all the damage. Tho report was awlul, and ther strongest nouses in tne city trembled like leaves. Ali:the glass was blown out of the windows of Odd-fel lows' Hall, which seems to have stood over a strata of unusual disturbance. In the same neighborhood the rear wall of the half wrecked Catholic Church tell upon tho Baltimore & Ohio trac&s. Chimneys rattled down all about, and dishes were broken in houses in Kernville, half a mile away. when asked about the matter. Mai or Phillipssaid: "Wehavensed only2,000 pounds of dynamite to-day. I have ordered several tons of it. lhe charges will not be so heavy hereafter. I had no idea we were doing any damage. So far as I know, no persons were injured." Soon after the last blast, which opened the channel of the river, the logs formed a gorge. A gang of lumbermen were put to work with canthooks to clear the stream. When the debris began to move John Troses, a lumberman was standing in the midst of it. The logs and boards began to roll from under him, but he leaped from one to another until he passed under one of the arches of the bridge and swept along witn tne torrent or water, in less man a minute, however, he very unexpectedly to the crowd of spectators made his appearauco below the bridge. lie continued to jump from log to log until ho linally reached the shore. His was a very narrow escape irom urowning. The foreman of tho gang working on the raft thinks that after the loose debris, now lodged in the channel of the bridge, is romoved. themenwillnot object so strenuously as they do now to woTk on the sides of the creek that has been opened. All day long, while tho men were at work ntthis place, not one body was recovered, but it is safe to say that many a human body went up with each shot of dynamite. Some of the workmen say that, they saw pieces of human bodies and shredded garments falling after several of the shots, and non e who were at work with the dynamiters will deny but that several human bodies vrere blown to pieces bv this af tci-noons work. Tho open mg up of the drift pile by cutting the channel through it has served to intensify the terrible odors which, if possible, seem to grow worse and extend further with 6ach succeeding hour. At 7 o'clock this evening tho fires, which wcro partially extinguished by the heavy rain-fall, were again lighted and aro now burning furiously. The object is to bnrn as much as possible of the debris, so that it can more easily be noatert down to-morrow. General Hastings's orders suspending work to-morrow excites much criticism. The citizens claim that not only tho river but every portion of the town should bo cleared out with the least possible delay, lt is supposed that hundreds of bodies yet remain in the cellars and unexplored piles oi wreckage, ana the longer they are permitted to remain the more terrible will grow the stench, and the more frightfully decomposed will be the bodies when they are reached. A good example of what may be expected to bo found in nearly every eaud-pile in the streets was developed at 7:) to-night, when the bodv of a bov babv was found right in front of the Western Union tele graph oflice. on the road which thousands of people havo been tramping over for tho past two weeks, lhe stench arising from its little body was so great that it was with Gimculty that men were lounu to remove lt to tho morgue. At 10:J0 to-night all tho men occupying the laborers' camp in the center part of tho town were routed out by the water. 1 he . - Conemaugh overflowed its banks about a quarter of a mile above the bend, and water swept into the camp knee-deep. Along with all the other mis fortunes, the poor men who have worked hard all day must now remain un all night. About three hundred of them advanced as far as the guards and wanted to go to Prospect Hill, but the guards would not permit them to. The Conemaugh i9 rising very rapidly, and if it so continues until morning all approaches to the city -win again ue cui on. i wawr is now almost to the top of the Millvalo bridge. Auiutant-general Hastings is in receipt ot Uie zollowing: Ellerslie, KiiLvrxLiFF-ON-ncpsoN, June 10. Mr Dear General On my return to my country home, I nnd that my little girls, from eight to fouiteenyearsof age, have been hard at work since the terrible disaster at Johnstown.

Mr. E. Kurtz Johnson, treas urer of the citizens' relief committee, has re ceived the following communication: "Executive Mansion', June 14. "My Dear Mr. Jobn.on The President directs me to inclose you his check for $:iOO, payable to your order, for the relier or the Johnstown sufferers. You will remeinlKr that on Saturday morning following the announcement cf the terrible calamity, he telegraphed Governor Beaver authorizing the Mayor or Johnstown to draw on him for this amount, thinking thereby to expedite the immediate relief which would be necessary. Up to the present time no draft han been made, and therefore he takes the liberty of making tho contribution through you to the Washington fund. If any draft should 1e made upon him from Pennsylvania he will advise you of it. Very truly yours, "E. W. IIalfoup, Private Secretary.'

The Lord Mayor to-day remitted to America another 1,000 for the benellt ot the Johnstown sufferers. Beer and Charity at Fort Wayne, Special to the IndiaoaiioUs Journal Fort Wayne, Ind., June 15. Since Mayor Harding assumed the reins of the municipal government, a month ago. the Sunday law has been vigorously enforced, much to the disgust of the saloon men. Last Sunday it was proposed by the Centlivre and Berghoff Brewing Companies to give a picnic and concert at the Tivoll Garden, a popular Sunday resort, the entire nro-

eeeda to be devoted to the Johnstown sufferers'

The Mayor forbade the entertainment, and lt was temporarily abnudonerl. The brewers, how ever, to-uay covered the town with paper and filled the newspapers with advertisements announcing that the picnic would le held to-morrow, as originally proponed. Mayor Harding saysnn win nave tbe entire police force on tho grounds to arrest the bartenders as fint as tbfT freU any Intoxicating drinks. Under thecharitv provision of the Sunday law he cannot prevent the sale of cigars or ron-intoxicant liquors, but declares emphatically against tho sale of liquor for charity or any other purpose. The brewers 1ropose to test the Mayor's jurisdiction, and It s safe to say that beer will be sold to all who Ait lor lt to-morrow. There Is o Indian Uprising. Bs. Cloud. Minn..

The peculiar methods adopted by Lcou Bailey in securing indictments against Republicans throughout the State are beginning to bear fruit, and already the publio has become convinced that the crimes alleged had no existence in point of fact. But another and peculiar result has grown out of Bailey's sham indict ments, as the record of arrests yesterday will show. The Republicans of the State not only know that there was no ground for the charge of wholesale corrup tion against Republicans, but believed that there was ground for such a charce in many localities against tho Democrats, nnd these cases wero called to tho federal grand jury's attention. Of ten arrests yesterday on charges of election law violations four-tifths of the defendants are Democrats, and somo have 6tood high in the politics of their counties. The two Republicans indicted are men against whom Bailey's grand jury found true bills, and this meets :nd confutes the statement that the attention of the jury was not called to any violations of the law by Republicans. The lint of arrests reported includes Lee Amsdeu. ex-sherili of Shelby county, and his nephew, Otis Amsden: Doha Hook and lleury Ackley, Dehalb; James A. btanton find Otto Chnsteuberry. Putnam; A. J. lfeason, BrooKville, and V. A. Anderson, of this county, all Democrats, and Charles lllunk. of Terre I Ian te. and Conrad Crosier. of Missouri, Republicans. lhe crimes with which these men aro charged all relate to the election of last fall and embrace charges of votbuying, illegal voting, making false afhdavits and intimidating voters. The indictments describe the several of fenses m detail, and allege that they wero committed in connection with a choice of members in Congress by the electors of tho district. 1 hey demonstrate that too Democrats used money in the effort to carry tho State, and where this failed force and other species of fraud wero resorted to in tho ellbrt to accomplish the same end. Lee Amsden has for years been a prominent Democratic worker in Shelby county, and at one timo his party fealty was rewarded with tho sherillality of the county. With the exception of Otto Christenberry and Conrad Crosley, all the defendants gave bond. Judge Woods has ordered all parties who have been arrested on indictments to appear and plead to the same on or beforo tho 22d instant. During tho sitting of the jury all the cases investigated by Bailey were inquired into, and some of the indictments upon which warrants are yet to lsnne may bo against these parties. Investigation, however, convinces the district attorney that the charges against a number of tboso heretofore indictedO cannot be Bustaincd and a nollo prosequi was entered yesterday in the caso of each of the following parties: Martin Reed, Marshall Hollingsworth, George A. Anderson, John Cronk, Edgar and William McMillan, Joseph Trne, John and PhilipMeycrs, John Dillon, William Meyers, G. H. Jones, Ward Hildebrand and J. C. Robinson. flyer's Hair Ui IS the "ideal" Hair-dressing. It re1 stores tbe color to gray hair ; promotes a fresh and vigorous growth ; prevents the formation of dandrul! ; makes tho hair soft and silken and imparts a delU cate but lasting per fume. "Several months 'ago my hair commenced falling out, and in a few weeks my head was almost rv bald. I tried man? remedies, but they did no good. I finally bought a bottle of Aycr's Hair Vigor, and, after using only a part of the contents, my head was covered with a heavy growth of hair. I recommend your preparation as the best in the world." T. Munday, Sharon Grove, Ky. " I have used Ayer's Hair Vior for a number of years, and it has always given me satisfactiou. It is an excellent dressing, prevents the hair from turning gray, insures its vigorous growth, and keeps the scalp white and clean." Mary A. Jackson, Salem, Mass.

La Fever, Eaton Rapids, Mich. "Ayer's Hair Vigor is a most excelent preparation for the hair. I speak of It from my own experience. Its use promotes the growth of new hair and makes it glossy and soft. The Vigor ia also a cure for dandruff." J. W. Bowen, Editor "Enquirer," McArthur, Ohio.
