Remarkable Case of Maurice Adler, the Victim of Frank Ward's Pistol. Washington. Aug. 9. Maurice Adler, who was shot in tho neck on the night of Jnly IS last, by Frank K. Ward, still lives, and to-day an operation was performed on him. It is a most remarkable case. Although his body has been almost completely paralyzed ever since tho shooting, and he has been spoken of as the "man with a live head on a dead body," he has lingered for more t han ei ght weeks, and seems to he no nearer death now than he was tho day after the fchooting. To-day tho patient was placed under the inflnence of chloroform and an incision about three inches long was mr.do down to tho vertebrae over tho courso of the wound, which, was found to be entirely healed. On cutting down upon the spine it was found that the spinous process of the fourth cervical vertebrae was fractured, and had been driven against the spinal cord, which it was pressing upon and had lacerated to the extent of three-fourths of an inch. The spinous process and lamina? were removed, and the pressure was thus taken from off the cord. It was found that the "bail, after striking the fourth cervical vertebra, had glanced off. but in what direction could not be seen. Its present location is unknown. The patient bore the opration well, and was much easier alter it. ' Gigantic Scheme of the Sugar Trust. Sax Francisco. Aug. 9.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Evansville, Ind., Aug. 9. The little city of Boonville, Ind., is in a state of excitement to-day over the disappearance of Assistant Postmaster William E. Denny and the discovery by a postoffice inspector that young Denny was several thousand dollars short in his accounts. Denny, it seems, has been reckless and extravagant in his expenditures and manner of Hvingfor several months, so much so that considerable talk and speculation has been indulged in as to tho linal outcome of his fast life. Ho had a mania for gambling, and was wilUug to bet on anything. and the bulk of the money is believed to have been disposed of in this manner. He is known to have lost several hundred dol lars at one sitting in this city. It has been several months since ho sent in a report of the financial standing of his office. The landlord of the St. Charles Hotel, where he boarded, says he has been very attentive to the hotel register of late, perusing it expressly to note the arrivals. Yesterday morning Inspector King, of the postal service, arrived in the citv for the nurnose of making an examination of the yonng man's books. Denny had been expecting Mr. King, and when he saw his name on the register yesterday ho immediately made arrangements and left the city. It is thought he went to Huntingburg. and from there took the evening train for Evansville, possibly leaving on tho midnight train for Chicago or St. Louis. At first it was thought that the shortage would onlv reach 3,000, but it has sinco been ascer tained that it will be much more. On the first three pages of his cash-book. Inspector i : t i :.) rvv : : i y y rung iuuuu co.wu missing, in looting np the total in three instances, he dropped 51,000 in each case. Where tho total was $1,720, he placed it at $720, and only carried this amount forward. After making these discoveries, Inspector King boarded atrain and came to this citv. where he expected to learn something of his whereabouts. It will probably tako three or four days to ascertain the exact amount miss ing, as he has not written up his cash account since April. It was learned this morning that Denny was short about ten mouths ago, and that his friends offered to make (rood the amount at that time if he would resign his position. He refused to tio this, and in some manner secured the necessary amount to help him out of the difficulty. It was also learned that Denny has been studvinir railroad mans and enri. nections of different lines for six months past. Denny was a bright young man, and a man of excellent family connections. He was t jovial, lively and big-hearted fellow. ana has many menus ana acquaintances. Ho is a nephew of Mayor Denny, of Indian apolis. Saved by Ills Teeth. Chicago, Aug. 9. Two good stout teeth prevented a murder this morning. Fred Harvey accused Joseph Sims'swifeof theft, Sims attacked Harvey and lired at him. The ball struck Harveys front teeth, breaking them otf, but doing no further damage. At about the same hour Alexander Kennedy went to the house of his partner. Michael Quinlin, and shot at him. the ball entering at the check bone and coming out near tho ear. Kennedy then made his escape. Tho shooting grew out of a quarrel about their business, which is nianuiacturing blacking. Quinlin will recover. Jumped the Track. Clarion, Ta., Aug. 9. While a passenger train on the Pittsburgh Western railroad was rounding a curvo near Ebensburg, this afternoon, the air-brako gave out and the whole train, with tho exception of the engine, left the track find the cars turned over..

EVEN PARLIAMENT EXCITED. Members of the Mouse of Commons Will Appeal for Airs. May brick's Reprieve. London, Aug. 9. In addition to tho memorial to the government in benalf of Mrs. Maybrick, which has been signed by most of the barristers end solicitors of tho Liverpool circuit, and the petition which has been circulated among the merchants and brokers, Parliament itself has taken up the cause of tho condemned woman. A number of members of tho House of Commons have decided to make a combined appeal to the Home Office for her reprieve. Their action is based not only on tho con fusion in the medical testimony taken, but also on the peculiar behavior of tho judge, which has excited a ferment of indigna tion throughout the country. The foreman of the jury has been interviewed con cerning the verdict which he and his fellow-jurors so hastily brought in, and he showed himself, by his answers and comments on tho case, to be possessed of onlv a confused notion of tho evidence which had been presented in court. He did not know that Sir Charles Kussell had of fered in court to call witnesses who would proye that the statement made by the accused was perfectly true, and that Justice aicpnens reiuseu 10 near tins important testimony. He admitted that he would not be sorry if a reprieve were granted, not- . 11 i 1 X m a. 1 witnsianuing ms voice in iavor 01 iuo verdict of murder. The general impression left by the interview is that the jurors al lowed themselves to bo swayed and biased bv the crosslv one-sided summing up of the judge, and that they gave a hasty verdict. witnoui giving me case anu iuo oviueucu any present consideration. Mrs. Maybrlck'i Couniel Hopeful. it JNEW XORK, Aug. v. xtoe i uiacKim, counsel for Mrs. Maybrick in this country, have cabled her London solicitors, asking if Home Secretary Matthews will consider new evidence if furnished immediately. Mr. Macklin says they have considerable evidence to submit corroborating Mrs. Maybrick's testimony, and also testimony as to her standing and character socially in this country. Ho thinks that if this testimony were admitted and censidered it would change the aspect of tht case to her favor. He exhibited this afternoon a photo of Mrs. MaTbrick taken at the age of twenty years, showing a girl handsome in face and figure, with brown hair and large, expressive eyes. "I have known airs. Maybrick7 he said, "ever, since she was twelve years old. She "was a sensible, high-minded girl. In 18S2 I accompanied her and her mother to the steamer Celtic when they started for Europe. Charles Stewart Parnell and Mr. Maybrick both sailed on that vessel, and it was on this voyage that Mrs. Maybrick first met her husband. Jt seems a strange coincidence that Sir Charles Kussell should have been counsel in both Parnoil's and Mrs. Maybrick's cases." Kegardmg the chances or interference with the sentence on the part of the Homo Secretary ,'Mr. Macklin said: 'They have a curious law in England, providing that whero an adverse decision is rendered in any but a murder case an appeal can be taken to a higher court, and from that to the House of Lords; but when tho case is murder, tho decision rendered by tho juryis final; and the cases where the judge's sentence has been overruled by tho Homo Secretary are very rare, indeed. Still. I hope we can do something." Mr. Macklin says the case is strangely similar to the Witter poisoning case, tried in Denver two years ago, with a verdict of acquittal. He has telegraphed for tho record of that trial. Judge Stephens Protests. Liverpool, Aug. 9. The memorial to the government, asking that Mrs. Maybrick bo reprieved on the ground of tho conflicting nature of the medical evidence given at her trial, has been signed by 800 brokers and merchants of Liverpool. Judge Stephens to-day protested in court against the abusive letters addressed to the jury in the Maybrick case. Ho said ho thought they had conscientiously clone their duty. THE nORROHS OF WAK. Two Men Positively Known to Have Keen KiUed in the Haytlan Bombardment. New York, Aug. 9. The steamer Alvo, of the Atlas line, which arrived from Hayti last night, brings Haytlan news. Tho Alvo arrived at Port-au-Prince at 6 r. m., July 26. When the steamer came to anchor the noise of Hippolyte's cannon could be distinctly heard firing at tho town. The attacking force was at the west of the place, about two miles away. The United States man-of-war Ovssipee lay in tho harbor off Port-au-Prince, and near her was anchored an English and a Spanish man-of-war. A tug-boat named the Panama was there, too. She carried a few heavy guns, and was in Legitime's service. During the afternoon of the 26th of July the Panama was ordered around to where she could attack Hippoi il. a... -! lit"' it j& huuu wt iiio ni. mi iiiic kui wiuim nrinir night. The Alvo left next morning. Legitime has lost t wo men during tho fiercest of the light. One was killed instantly, tho other lived a day. The (Jatling guns used by Hippolyto are playing sad havoc with the outskirts of Port-au-Prince. Washington, Aug. 9. Information which has reached this city from Hayti. under date of July 23, says that everything is quiet at Port-au-Prince, and that tho delay in attempting to capture the citv is giving the inhabitants renewed conhdence and hurting the cause of the Northern party. The near approach of tho rainy season is supposed to be disadvantageous for Hyppolyte, and it is thought he "will have difficulty in keeping his forces in tho held without large detections.

Mr. Balfour, Chief Secretary for Ireland, has written a letter in justification 'f the language he used in Thursday's debate on the Irish estimates in the House of Commons.

President Harrison Enjoys a Backboard Ride, a Lawn Luncheon and a Dinner. Evidently in a Merciful Mood. Ha Respites Two Murderers Complete Programme of the Week Mapped Out. 7 . Bar Harror, Me., Aug. 9. President Harrison has begun his stay at Bar Harbor by respiting for threo weeks tho two men who were to' have been hanged to-day in Arkansas for murder. When he crossed the threshhold of the Blaine cottage last night he was handed a telegraphio statement that new and important evidence in the case of Jack . Spaniard had been forwarded, and there was a suggestion by the acting Attorney-general that a respite be granted. In view of the new evidence that is now said to exist, a respite until Aug. 80 was telegraphed last night. This morning another telegram , reached the President from the United , States' judge at Fort Smith, Ark., suggesting, in order to avoid two executions in the same month, one to-day and one on the 80th, a respite to the latter date should bo granted to William Walker, who was also to have been hanged to-day. This suggestion was also adopted. These havo, been the president's only official acts since his arrival here. Dispatches and important . letters are sent from Washington though, and a few letters addressed to the President here have been received, making his mail consist of, perhaps, a dozen letters. To theso his private secretary at tends. Callers upon tho President were quite numerous, tnougn almost; entirely consisting of summer residents of the place, but national affairs were a' tabooed subject. Among the callers were Hon. John R. Thomas, of Illinois; Baron Rosen, the Rus sian minister, and Captain Wilse, of the Minnesota. The visitors camo at different hours in the day, but the President devoted much of his time to resting. He had slept more hours in the previous night than in any night in three months, he said, and the result was that he felt very much refreshed. His' first step out of the cottage was towards a buckboard which was to take him ta Otter's Nest, a pretty cottage four or five miles off, where a luncheon had been tendered him by Major Aulick Palmer. In the buckboard with him went Secretary and Airs. Blaine, Congressman and Mrs. Lodge, Miss Blaine, Mr. Charles Howe, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Cummin gs. his secretary. Walker Blaine, and Mrs. Collins Morse. The nartv left Stanwood about noon and drove to Major Palmer's cottage. Senator and Mrs. Hale also came from Ellsworth in the morning. The lunch tables were set on the lawn and under the trees near the water and in view of the mountains. President Harrison stood upon the portico while ho was introduced to the prominent summer residents oi jtar iiarnor and Ellsworth and other places to whom "at home' cards had been sent. Afterwards lunch was served. With eight exceptions all were seated on the lawn. The exceptions were -President- Harrison, " Secretary - and ' Mre. Blaine, Senator and Airs. Hale, Airs. Palmer, the lurkish minister and Airs. Lodgo. who lunched in tho dining-room. Meanwhile tho Bar Harbor band played. 1 he Presi dent spent an enjoyable afternoon after luncheon. By 4 o'clock he was at Stanwood again, and at 7:30 r. M. he made one oi a private umner party wnicn inciuaeu Senator and Mrs. Hale, Mrs. Chandler, (Mrs. Hale's mother), Air. Charles Howe, Airs. Burton Harrison and Airs. Patterson. This party numbered fourteen in all. To-morrow, at 11:30. Secretary Blaine will take the President and a 6mall party fora 2 1 A J Al O 1 V t 1 sau io comes souuu, on me rappuo. in tne evening tho Kehbo Valley Club, of which Mr. Blaine is a member, liolds a reception in tho President's honor. For Sunday no definite arrangements have been made, but on .Monday morning, alter breakfast, tho President will go to Ellsworth as the guest of Senator Hale. He will remain there till Tuesday, when he will return to Bar Harbor in time for luncheon, and Tuesday evening he will probably Witness the llorai parade. Wednesday morning ho will start for Bath, where he is to lunch with Arthur Sewall, and examine tho shipping, and Wednesday evenine he will go to Alanchester, N. II., spending the I fit y-ii rtii t nigni wuu ex-uovernor i;neney. innrsaay morning he goes to Concord, where ho will bo roceived by tho New Hampshire Governor and Legislature, and Thursday evening ho will begin a quick return trip to Washington. If the arrangements made agree with the President, he will reach Boston in timo to take the train for Fall River Thursday evening, and he will go on by tho sound boat and bv train to Washington and tho White House, where he is expected on Friday. Mrs. Harriscn, who is at Nantucket with her sister, may join her husband at Fall River, if she does not return to Washington before then. The arrangements just outlined .have been given the finishing touches since the President's arrival, and it will be noticed that they include no provisions for visiting Aloosehead lake or the Profile House. The President in Boston. Boston Special. When half way up South street, a temporary blockade was caused, and, as the President's carriage stopped, a little ragged urchin not over seven years of age clambered on behind the vehicle and enjoyed a few minutes' ride. The sudden approach of A calvary officer sword from the rear made him unexpectedly scamper to the sidewalk, and as ho disappeared in the crowd a childish treble was heard shouting, "Say, Jimmy, didyersee mo 'ridin' wid de President!" The cry was so loud and clear that it was beard all around, and no one seemed to enjoy ihe incnlent better than Air. Harrison, who turned and looked back good-naturedly toward the crowd in which the ambitious young Americsi had been lost. A few rods further on another momentary halt was made, and the carriage again came to a full stop. In a window of a tenement house, one night up from the street, a palefaced girl gazed out, and with eyes luminous with wonder and excitement she feebly waved her handcrchief to those below. A pillow that bolstered her back indicated some illness. President Harrison raised his eyes to the tenement window above, an expression of regret passed over his countenance as ho saw the girl with disappointment in her eyes cease waving her handkerchief and settle back in her chair as if sorry, after all her effort, that she had not seen the President's face. The latter impulsively turned in his seat, and, looking directly up to the window, bowed, smiling to her as individnally as if tho throng around were absent, and he nad known her well. The blood mantled to her face in oy at the recognition, and with an impulsive action she broke off a half-opened bud from a solitary plant on the window sill and tossed it down to the carriage below. At that moment, however, the procession started, and tho girl's gift fell short; it dropped-on the muddy pavement, and the hoof of a cavalry horse crushed it out of existence. .

POSTMASTER PAUL. That Obstreperous Partisan Heavily Sat Upon by Commissioner Lyman. Washington, Aug. 9. President Lyman, of the Civil-servico Commission, has written the following letter to Postmaster PauL of Milwaukee: WASHI-GTOJf, Aug. 0. Hon. Geo. IL ratd, Postmaster, MUwaukeo, Wis.: Bir Your letter of the 17th ult, in which you caU my attention to that part of the commission's report upon your oflice, which relates te the construction put by you upon the letter of the commission, written In 16S5, concerning certlncations from the higher grade registers for the lower grade places, and to a reported interview with Air.

Very respectfully, Charles Ltmas, President. THE SIOUX RESERVATION. A Misunderstanding as to the Method of Opening It Corrected. Efreclal to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Aug. 9. There seems to be a general misunderstanding as to the opening of the Sioux reservation. The statement has been made that the reservation would be opened as soon as the commission reported and the President issues his proclamation. This, however, is an error. There were two bills passed by Congress on the 6ame day relative to tho opening of the reservation, one of which provided for tho cession of lands and how it should be done. and the other provided for the appointment of a commission' and the expenses thereof. It was further piov .vid in the latter bill that the report of the commission must be submitted to the F:frMirit Congress, and be ratified by that body before the President's proclamation can be issued. Commissioners Th. lr "Way Home. St. Paul, Aug. 9. Tho Sioux commission, consisting of ex-Go v. Clias. Foster, of Ohio; Hon. Wm. Warner, of Alissouri. and Gen. George Crook, have arrived in this city. The commissioncrK will report to the Secretary of tho Interior and the President. If the latter is sr.t;iied that three-fourths of the Indians b we signed the treaty he will make proclamation to thatellect, and the reservation v iil be at once surveyed and the Indians lie settled on their reduced reservations, while the remaining 11,000,000 acres will bo thrown open to settlement by proclamation ol t)v 1 resident.

Several attempts were made by new paper men to-day to see some one in authority, so as to ascertain whether the report; that ex-Attorney-gen-eral Garland has been tendered the position of special counsel for ono of the great Pacific railway companies, is true or not, but tho rumor could not be run down. It is learned, however, that tho Union Pacific has for some time exhibited symptons of dissatisfaction with its representative in this city, and that several months ago a change was decided npon. Ex-Attorney-general Garland, the story goes, has been offered this position at a salary of $5,000 a year. He will be, if he accepts, located in Washington, and his business will bo that of a railroad attorney, whose principal duty it is to prevent unfavorable legislation towards the road employing him. Ths current opinion here among the Attorneygeneral's friends is that tho story that he has been offered the place is true. IT IS NOT SO BAD. Admiral Klmberly Keport on the Famine In the Samoan Islands. Wasiiixgtox, Aaz. 9. Under date of July 11, Hear Admiral Kimberly reports to the Navy Department from Apia, Samoa, that the fathers of tho Catholic mission there had requested help from him to relieve the pressing want of food then existing. Upon his return from Pago Pago, in a small vessel chartered for the trip, ho brought back with him from tho Alonongahela C.000 pounds of biscuit. 30,4(39 pounds of rice, 1,000 pounds of corn-meal, 1,000 pounds of wheat flour, 1,000 pounds of oat-meal. 1,000 pounds of hominy and 113 gallons of beans, which, in accordance with tho department's letter of May 24, he deemed it wise and proper to turn over to the Cat holio mission for distribution among the distressed Samoans. The Alpnongahela still has for issue large quantities of the same stores. The Admiral writes: 'There is undoubtedly great scarcity of food at present, but I do not apprehend any loss of life from famine, except possibly among the old and feeble, as there are cocoanuts sufficient to exist on now, and these will soon be helped out by tho approaching harvest of bread fruit, and later by bananas." MINOR MATTERS. Consul Wlngste Sends In a Review of th Chinese Tea Trade. Washington, Aug. 9. In view of tho recent revelations concerning tea importations into tho United States, a report by J. H.
