He was breveted several times for gallant services, and entered the regular army as lieutenant in Major Macarthur's record during the war was an exceptionally brilliant one, and he was specially mentioned in orders for conspicuous gallantry and daring, on one occasion recapturing Union batteries at the very moment that the enemy was. about to turn them upon the forces, 4 and taking ten battle flags and 400 prisoners. This was when he was nineteen years of age. He has a long, continuous record as a captain, and stands well near the head of his rank. The President's Fourth cf July Trip. Washington, July 1.

Fpeclal to tho ImUsnapoIis Journal Washington, July 1. The verdict in the McDow trial in Charleston, S. C, has been tho subject of a great deal of discussion in Washington since it was announced on Saturday night. The fact that tho papers have commented a great deal on the appointment of seven colored men on the jury, and that they suggest that this was one of the reasons why the verdict was acquittal, meets with very poor favor. Even Captain Dawson's friends say that this had "very little to do with the matter, as the other tivo jurors were whito men, and if they had any strength of character and really believed that McDow was guilty of murder, the fact of their association with the negroes could have had nothing whatever to do with their action. The truth is that there was undoubtedly something behind the affair which did not come out in the trial, and it is perhaps as well for the sumvors of trie affair that tho matter was not opened up more publicly than it was. iugnts or Homestead Settlers, Washington; July 1. Acting General Land Commissioner Stone, to-day, in writ" ing to an attorney at Kansas City, Kan., in regard to the rights of homestead settlers in Oklahoma over those who mako tOWnsite locations, says that homestead claimants will be protected by the Land Office, and, if preference is given at all, it will be to bona fide settlers. I will state," Mr. Stone continues, "in a general way, that when a settler, in (rood faith, goes upon the public domain, and by compliance with the laws of Congress acquires an inchoate light to his selection, such right cannot be lawfully diminished by tho subsequent action of other persons in seeking to establish a town-site location thereon. "While tho settler continues to occupy his homestead claim, he must be protected in tho high privilege which the law confers upon him. These encroachments upon the right of a settler by the unauthorized location of town sites will not be sanctioned oric any manner upheld." Did Not Confer About Indiana Offices. Special to tho Indianapolis Journal. Washington, July 1. The statement recently made that Mr. Ransdell, Mr..Durbin and Secretary Halford had a conference with the rresident or among themselves, as to appointments that should be made in Indiana, is absolutely without foundation. Mr. Halford said to-day that he had not noticed the paragraph before becauso he did not think that any intelligent man would be misled by it. Mr. Durbiu, while here, did not allude to appointments in Indiana, except to matters in Madison county, iu which he is interested. So far as Mr. Halford is concerned, he never talked with Mr. Kansdell or Mr. Durbiu about appointments, except as to local ones, which, they brought to his attention. It might bo taken for granted that President Harrison is President of Indiana as well as of the other States, and the impression seems to be well grounded that he knows how to attend to nis business. The Allen Labor Contract Law. "Washington, July 1. Tho Attorney-general has given an opinion to the Secretary of tho Treasury expressing grave doubts as to the authority of tho latter, under Section S409, K. S., to compromise cases arising under the alien labor contract law. The question arose on the oiler of the otlicers of the Church of the Holy Trinity of New York city, to pay $100 in compromise of the tine of 1.000 imposed upon them for a violation of tho alien labor contract law in the engagement of a foreign clergyman. The district attorney at New Vork and the Solicitor of tho Treasury recommended an acceptance of the oiler. The question was subsequently submitted to the Attorneygeneral, with the result stated. The case had been previously appealed to the United . States Supremo Court. . Hidings In Pension Ca.cs. Washington, July 1. Assistant Secretary linssey to-day overruled the Pension Office, and granted a pension to Henry A. Helmer. "While riding over the battle-field of Pea llidce, Ark., Helmer was thrown from his horse and broke his ankle. General llussey holds that ho was in tho line of duty, ami grants the pension. In the cae of Susan Stovenson, mother of William Stevenson, General lhissev rejects the claim for pension as dependent mother. Stevenson, in an altercation with a negTo, while on his wav to a theater, was killed. General Uusscy holds that ho was not in the line of duty, and therefore the claimant is not entitled to a pension. Fourth-Class I'ontofHcea for Imllaiiians. F racial to the Iuluiiaiiu Journal.

Captain Jamieson. of Merid ian, with twenty resolute Mississippians, will have charge of the inner ring. In addition to this special guard there will be a reinforcement of forty tried men from the city. who. with Jamieson s guard, will pre serve order. So far notices have bn received that parties have been made up to come to the tight irom Ilazelhurst,.V'icksburg, Greenlyille, Memphis, Jackson iTenn.), Cairo, Houston, Galveston, San Antonio. Fort Worth, l'ensacola. Jacksonville, re w x ork, Chicago, Montgomery. Denver. Mobile. Birmingham and St. Louis about two thousand in all to date. Betting men are still wary, but there is no end of iuterest in the fight, and New Or leans is now anected with the worst kind of athletic fever. Much curiositvr is ex pressed as to when the trains are to leave the city for the battle-ground on tho morning of the light. That point has not yet been definitely decided, but it is believed that an early special train to carry press reporters, telegraph operators, backers of the men, and interested parties will leave the city between. 4 and 5 o'clock on the morniug of the tight for the ring-side. Attached to this train will be, in all likeli hood, a coach carrying ono of tho princial.i in the hcht. It is thought the one will o Kilrain, who will occupy tho coach dur ing the night, and not leave it until he gets out and shies his castor into the ring. . Arrangements will probablv be made to have bullivan, his trainers and seconds, go over the evening before, it being thought that quarters quite near to tho scene of the light may be obtained, where the big pugilist can have a quiet night's rest. These arrangements are being made because it is not thought desirable to have the two men go over on the same train. When the lirst train gets to the grounds all details will be perfected andever3rthing gotten in readiness to have tho pugilists iiirht instantly after tho arrival of the excursiouists. ine tram proper, carrying spectators, will probably get ' IT about o clock in tho morning. The scene picked out. it is said, is not on the railroad track. but is not far enough away to make it dithcuit to reach, he fact that there aro several snots on the line of the road in several parishes sets at rest all doubt as to police interference. If there should be any inai ration of interference by officials at the Doints selected, an event not at all likely to occur, the train will move on a piece further. .TaaIc Harnett. Sullivan's renresentative. this morning received a dispatch from Mr. James M.icriinVr. of Richmond. Va.. stat ing that lie will immediately leave for the city, no also tciegrapnea tnai ne nau Sl.OOO which he would like to place on Sul livan, lie would be willing to lay the S1.0U0 against b00. Twenty-live cars had been engaged for the day of the fight, but from present indications fully ten more will be needed. A party of twenty-five snorts will arrive from Denver this evening. Uirmingham is sending a delegation of 100 to tho light. Governor Nichols does not agree with Attorney-general lfogers and Assistant District Attorney Fin ley that there is no law against prize-lighting in Louisiana, and says those who take part in prize-tights in thH State will rind out if there is anv law On the subject. Ho says that if the officers of the law fail to do their duty he will report them to tho Legislature, while ho also thinks that the Attorney-general and As sistant Attorney did wrong in making anv statement on the subject. Those whohave the arrangements in charge say tho opposi tion of tho Governor of Louisiana does not affect the matter one way or the other. Sullivan's Right JMand and Legs All Right, Bklpast, N. Y., July 1. John L. Sullivan, having postponed his departure for Kochester until 3:13 p. M., to-day, at the solicita tion of his trainer, he devoted the forenoon to his usual work. As the weather was clond', the daily jannt was omitted, arid the exercise was confined to in-door work. For fifteen minutes Sullivan put tho heavy ball, and then hammered the heavy raw hide bag for three-quarters of an hour. "If ho lands one of those m the first round " said Muldoon to the reporter, as with the old swinging right-hand blow Sullivan bent the bag whizzing to the planking, "about live thous and people will leave the ring-side disgusted at the brevity of tho contest." Apparently not a whit tired after his hour's labor. John seized the skinpiDg-rope. and with a light and airy step, skinpedLOOO consecutive rimes wirnoiiD a miss, juuidoon then threw a huge blanket over his charge, and led him to a couch, where ho lay for a minute, perspiring freely. "Tell my friends about this." said John to a reporter, &o they can refute the statement that my legs are gone." Itubbing down and a succession of shower bath3 concluded the morning's work, and preparations for the journey were then be gun. Kllrain's Condition. Baltimoue, July L It is only in race week that Fimlico avenue presents the appearance it did yesterday. Non-descript-ive vehicles, bicycles and horse cars carried over one thousand people out the avenue to 8eo Jako Kilrain, the prize-fighter. His hotel (Halstead's) was their stopping place. and the crowd loitered throughout the morning and evening to catch a glimpse of the man who, a week from to-day. will meet John L. Sullivan in the prize-ring. Of the result of his trip to New York, Mitchell said but little, but that was significant, and the visit seems to have ' resulted to his lik .ing. He met the Sullivan people at Coney island, and found them intent on having the fight transpire. They wanted a fair lield and no favors, and seemed assured that such would be given them and both parties anxious to light, he said, there was no likelihood of there being any hitch in tho arrangements. Just exactly what day this week and by what route he and Kilrain would go fcouth had not been determined. Those who got a good look at Kilrain yesterday pronounced him as a man lit to tight for his life and could not conceive his being anything else than a winner. Pugilists on .Their Way. Buffalo. X. Y., July 1. A special train on the West Shore, consisting of two Wagner sleeping cars and a baggage car, left Ilochester at 8:Jtt p. M. to-night, under charge of Thos. Kilkenny, of Syracuse, and picked up Sullivan. Muldoon, Charlie Johnson and J. G. Warner, of Kochester, at Chuichville Junction. The pugilist and his trainer had hft the W.. K. Y. & P. train, before arriving at Kochester and had gone around the city to avoid tho crowd. They had been misdirected, m and came into the cars bathed with perspiration, for they had tramped about fifteen miles without any supper. Sullivan was the most cheerful of the four. He wore a white soft felt hat, a coarse woolen uudershirt, with a tourist shirt of pink flannel over it, and a rough suit of clothes. Muldoon wan not in a mood for talk, and soon ordered Sullivan into the car which had been reserved for them. Muldoon later eait VSullivan is ready for along or short

Muldoon had on board some jogs of water hermetically sealed, which he has brought from his we'll at llelfast. At Clarence, near this citv, Sullivan was given a juncn oi uara-oouea eggs, corned beef and sandwiches, and tea which Muldoon cot at a hotel near the Rtation. The special train arrived in lturlalo at mid night, ana was switcnea to the Mckel plate tracks at East Buffalo, without coming into the city, thereby. disappointing another crowd of friends who were waiting at tho station to catch a glimpse of him. The train will arrive at Cleveland to-morrow morning. While Sullivan was on his wav to Roches ter, an Inter Ocean correspondent had an interview with him. He was asked how he felt as compared with tho timo when he fought Ryan. He said: "I am as good a man now as then. I won't say I am better. I feel in perfect shape in every way, and intend to mako the fight the best of my life. jMy training has brought" me down to 197 pounds, but I expect to gain enough between now and July 8 to luring me back to 203 pounds. I shall win the tight or die in the ring." Muldoon and Mike Cleary wero the other members of the party.. Said Muldoon: "John has done ns I have advised hira to from tho 10th of May, when he commenced training, and as a result he is in perfect condition. Reward Offered for Their Arrest.

A DEATH OF AWFUL TORTURE. Some of tho Horrors of the New Mode of Killing: Criminals by Electricity. Philadelphia Record. "Tho enforcement of the death penaltr by means of electric currents would not only be agonizing beyond conception, but would also be barbarous in the extreme." This is tho deliberate opinion of Myron Law, superintendent of the electrical de partment of the lsrush hJcctnc Company, of this city. Ho was talking yesterday of the coming electric execution of the murderer Kemmler, at Bun'alo. Mr. Law proceeded to give some interesting facts to demonstrate the truth of tho conclusion at which ho had arrived. "Any person," 6aid he, "who is thoroughly acquainted with an electric current could not pobsibly have any other idea than this. It is absurd to claim that execution by electric' is less painful than hanging, that it would be instantaneous in its elTects, or that it would do away with any repugnant feature of our public executions. "In tho first place death by electricity is not painless. Hanging, throat-cuttiua, tho guillotine, shooting, burning to death in molten lead or in furnaces aro painless executions when compared with tliat by electricity. Let me cite a few instances of the pain felt hy those who have received severe electric shocks. Six years ago one of my men named John Smith, cut an electric wire which ho thought to be Mead.' This was on Eighth street between SanHom and "Walnut. Standing on the ladder, with ono hand he grasped the rupture! wire, which fed forty-eight lamps and had a current of 2,200 volts passing through it. With tho other hand he held hy means of nlyers tho other end of the wire. Immediately he made the most 'heartrending icieams for help. His hands wero rivited fast and his whole body was undergoing most terrible contortions. "The erectric current of 2.200 volts strength was passing throncrh his body and pinned him to the spot. Wo threw a rope over his hands and jerked him from his perilous position. IJoth of his hands were burned tenihly, and his whole system was shattered. When he had sufficiently recovered a few days later to be able to talk intelligently he said that his tulleiings were terrible beyond description. "Another man in our employ once received the full force of a current of several hundred volts. In removing his hand from the wire one of his lingers dropped otf, having been burned almost to a crisp by the current. During the accident his face showed in a frightful matter intense pain, and his body was in a constant trenicr. "Of course, electricity can instantaneously kill a person, but in that intinitcsimally small 6Paco of time of the tranitioa from life to death the person will sutler inconceivable pain. Althonsh tho speed of electricity is at the rate of 2N5.0O0 miles per sec ond, the killing cannot be o instantaneous as to preclude all pain. Every particle of the nervous tissue is polarized, and polarization causes every particle of matter to revolve onits axis, which means tho stretching of tho nerves out of all proportion, ai:d. consequently, the most intense pain, lhvf the jrreat fault with execution by electricity is that it is almost impossible to ascertain just how strong a current will kill a man instantaneously and yet not be a barbarous mode of killing. If the current he hut a few volts stronger than that required to instantly executo a person the consequences would bo terrible. It would distigure tho body beyond recognition, and would disintegrate every portion of the corpse. "Should the current be just a trifle too weak to execute a person it would throw him into a trance so death like that it is probable that the body would bo buried alive. So. in order to reduce this new mode of execution to a practical scientific working, the amount of resistance iu each body would have toibe previously tested beforo anv approximate idea conlu be reached as to how strong a ciment would surely kill without disliguriug cr disintegrating tho body or throwing the subject into a trance. Ent even if this desideratum is found there might bo some hitch or slight fault in the electrical apparatus which would poll eTCytbinS,,
