Fanz, the victim of the Aberdeen. Miss., outrage, which formed the subject of a recent debate in the Senate: Lexington, Tenn., Jan. 30. Senator Spooner, Washington: Dear eir I notice in the dally papers. In your answer to Senator George's addrew. made before th United States Senate. Jan. 28. 1890, that you refer to the outrage that was perpetrated by the citizens of Aberdeen. Miss. Unfortunately for rae, I waa the victim of their brutal assault and desire to say that you have them pictured np about right. I desire to say that I was promised protection by the Mayor of the city and one or two citizens; but I could not at that time see what good their protection would do me after I had been scourged and foully abused and brutally beaten by fifty other blood-thirsty villains. At any rate. I left a soon as practicable. Am glad to say that I am now surrounded by a law-abid'-ng people, who regard the rights of man almost as sacred as those of our Creator. Your humble servant, IIL5HT J. Fanz. MUGWUMP LIE EXPLODED.

Ex-Got. Wannoth, an Enemy of the Louisiana Lottery, Instead of a Friend. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Feb. 10. When Wannoth was appointed collector of tho Port of New Orleans, a short time ago, some mugwump and Democratic newspapers, which wanted to fight President Harrison, proclaimed that it was a legalization of the Louisiana Lottery Company, in return for a large campaign contribution in 1886. They said Wannoth was a lottery man and his appointment was arranged during the recent presidential campaign by certain Louisiana Kepublicana. These statements are proven to bo false, and without any foundation whatever to be cut from the same goods from which all the presidential campaign lies are made by mugwumps and Democrats. An agent of the Louisiana Lottery Company is here now fighting Warmoth'a confirmation, and has made a protest before the Senate committee on commerce. Warmoth proves to be an old enemy of the lot tory company. NOMINATED BY TIIE PRESIDENT. CoL Samuel Merrill, of Indianapolis, Appointed. Cousul-General at Calcutta. Washington, Feb. 10.

The House committee on Indian affairs to-day took up the Senate joint resolution authorizing the removal of the Apache Indians, now prisoners at Marion Barracks, Ala., to the Fort Sill reservation in the Indian Territory. Lieutenant-colonel Lawton testified that if the Apaches became dissatisfied at Fort Sill they could easily reach their old haunts. The sanitary conditions at Port Sill, he laid, are poor; it is known as one of the worst post in the country. Geronimo, the leader of tbe Apaches, has been on the warpath at least three times. W. II. II. t Llewellyn, of New Mexico, and Brewster 'Cameron, of Arizona, also protested earnestly against the removal of the Apaches to Fort Sill. Mr. Cameron said there need be no trouble about getting a reservation east of the Mississippi. The people of Arizona and New Mexico would themselves pay for enough land in Vermont to settle, the Indians. Delegate Smith, of Arizona, said this movement in behalf of a sick Indian was duo to a sickly sentimentality in the East. The witness said that if tbe Indian was to be treated with such consideration it might bo well to give tho white man a show. The proposed removal of the Apaches, Mr. Smith said, would paralyze every industry of Arizona, and the people of the Territory enter a very vigorous protest against it, believing it would be a great outrage. A Fund for the Ui-Speaker. WaMngtoa Special. There is no doubt at all that Mr. Randall has cancer. His family, naturally dreading the fearful surveillance that is practiced upon dying people in Washington, give out the most optimistic reports of Mr. Randall's condition. They dread to see at their door the group of newspaper men and policemen, the waiting cab to carry the news, the seizing upon the doctors for bul letins all ofthe horrors that a personal press inflicts upon great men when they are dying. The greatest consideration has been shown him, and the chief morning paper here refrained from publishing tbe fact that has gone all over tho country elsewhere, that Mr. Childs. Mr. Drexel ana other admiffcrs of the great Prnnsylvanian, made up a fund of FjO.000 for Mrs. Randall. in the event of Mr. Randall's death. It was desired to keep it from him as long as possible, for Cato himself never surpassed Mr. Randall in virtuo and independence where money was concerned. But his friends thought, when the end approached. it would be an inexpressible relief to him to know that his family was provided for. After twenty-five years of public life in the most commanding position Mr. Randall has not saved ouo dollar. The shabby little house in which he lives he bought some years ago out of his scanty private means. Like Roscoe Conklinc. Mr. Randall re mained honest when dishonesty was ram pant and with all tho discomforts and trials of a public man in narrow circumstances, he maintained an integrity that was not only perfect, but scrupulously per feet Dayton's Postmaster in Trouble, iperlal to tbe Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Feb. 10. It is stated at the Postofflce Department that the postmaster at Dayton, O., will either be permitted to resign or will be dismissed. Some time ago it was reported at the department that the payton postmaster, who was interested in a life insurance company, was closo up in his accounts with the insurance company. and was using his postofiice funds in that direction. An inspector was sent out, and It is stated that the reports were con firmed. Congressman Williams then de manded the removal of the postmaster. who baa sent in his resignation during the investigation. It is now simply a question of whether he will be permitted to resign or be made to sutler removal. To Prevent Gerrymandering. Washington, Feb. 10. Mr. Wickham, of Ohio, introduced in the House, to-day, a bill to prevent gerrymandering in the States. It provides tbat the Representa tives elected to the Fifty-second Congress shall be returned from the same districts as similar Representatives elected to the Fifty-first CongTess. Iirave Firemen to lie Rewarded. Washington, Feb. 10. Secretary Tracy, after conferring with a number of officials and prominent citizens, has agreed upon testimonials to be presented to Chief Parris and Howard Wright, of the District fire department, and policeman Cottell for tho civicea tbejr rendered to himself and

household on the morning of the fatal fire at the Secretary's home. For Cottell and Wright the Secretary has selected handsome gold watchessuitably inscribed, while Chief Parris will be the recipient of a silver service. This tribute to the chief of the fire department was determined upon for his action in recovering tho body of Miss Tracy from the flames and bearing it to the sidewalk at tbe risk of his own life. Illinois Swamp-Land Case Decided. Washington, Feb. 10. In the case of the State of Illinois for indemnity for certain overflowed and swamp lands in Champaign county, which came before the Secretary of the Interior, on appeal from the decision of the Commissioner of the General Land Oflice, a decision has been Tendered ens taining the appeal, and holding that all lands that were, at the date of the grant, unfit for cultivation by reason of their Rwampv condition, passed to tho State. The ruling that indemnity for swamp lands located by warrants or scrip mnst be taken in the State where such losses occurred is adhered to. Fraudulent Hank Examiner. Washington, Feb. 10. Information has reached tho Comptroller of the Currency to the effect that a man calling himself E. McGregor, who was at Topoka, Kan., from Jan. 16 to 21, claimed that he was an examiner of national banks. Tho Comptroller says that there is no examiner of this name, and that it will be well for bank officers to be on their guard against this individual and to explore his history.

DID BUSINESS OS WIND. Collapse of a Muncie Factory That II ad Been Started with Little or No CapltaL Special to the Indianapolis Journal. . Muncie, Ind., Feb. 10. J. C. Williams, late of Brooklyn, N. Y arrived in this city last summer, and represented himself to influential citizens to be a large shoe manufacturer in the City of Churches, who had come to the Indiana gas-field to investigate with a view to the removal of his factory here, because of the many inducements offered by the discovery of natural gas. Local business men were not slow in making oilers for the location of what seemed to be no small addition to the city's manufacturing industries. The stipulations were that an immense brick factory be erected, and that fuel and three acres of ground be presented to him, which was done. Williams tried hard to form a joint stock company, bnt failed. The first fact that opened the eyes of some of the parties who were instrumental in getting him here, was that he had to borrow $7u0 with which to pay the freight on the machinery that he shipped from the East. At any rate the factory was put in run ning order, giving employment to about 125 hands mostly young girls. His manner of hiring hands was peculiar, and at one time terminated in a strike. He would employ them on trial of two weeks, and at the end of that time would discharge them and secure other persons in their places, thereby getting his labor for nothing. He pretended to form a joint stock company, using the name of his book-keeper as president, while he assumed me position oi secretary ana treasurer, ana on his letter-heads and envelopes he bad printed "The Muncie Leather Manufact uring Company." By this means ho made large purchases of stock of New York. Cin cinnati and Chicago firms. Things ran along very smoothly until his creditors becan to press mm lor money, and, to give himself temporary relief, he mortgaged the machinery to James Rojce, of this city, for 7.000. but an Eastern capitalist stc'ns in and claims he owns all of it, a note being given for that amount He then claimed he had a silent partner, who resided in Boston, who came here last week to close out his share of the concern. One dav last week he filed a claim for $14,000, the payment of which will be hotly contested by other creditors. lhe sheriff has levied on all Williams s stock, including his household furniture. and an effort is being made to prosecute him on several charges, tho most severe be ing penury. The factory is standiue idle, as it likclv will be until tho machinery is taken from it, when Mr. Boyse will utilize it for his electric-light plant. Want an Accounting. New York, Feb. 10. The necessary legal . preliminaries were taken to-day by lawyer H. W. Leonard, of No. 128 Broadway, to force an accounting from the banking firm of Henry Clews &, Co. Ever since the firm failed, in 1S73, its affairs have been in the hands of trustees. Of the two trustees ap pointed only one survives. He is broker William A. Timpson, of No. 52 New street. Many of tho out-of-town creditors have failed to receive a satisfactory explanation from Mr. Timpson as to the disposition of valuable bonds issued by Southern States and in the possession of Henry Clews & i a. i r v i . -a "i ? a A uo. wnen tueir auairs went into litigation.

In the preliminary hearing of President Claasen, to-day. Andrew Colson, cashier of the Sixth Na tional Bank, caused a decided sensation by saying that within fifteen minutes after Claasen had been elected president, he went to witness and asked him to draw three checks for $jO,000 each; that he had etlectod a loan, and would take them down town, and next day return with the col lateral. Witness demurred, but Claasen said the cashier was better known down town, and it was best ho should draw the checks. He accordingly drewthem. These loans were made to John Satterlce fc Co.. James A. Simmons, and Pell, Wallach &. Co. Next day Claasen brought to wit ness, to be used as collateral, tho bonds, which were absolutely worthles-3. New York, Feb. 10.

The Iowa Su premo Court has passed upon a case appealed from Cass county which puts an in terpretation upon one phase of the prohibitory Honor law not heretofore construed. The defendants dispensed cider aud a drink known as "B. If.." ns a beverage to thirsty customers, and held a United States inter-' nal license to protect them in their sales, but claimed the bevemge was not intoxi cating. The court holds that the law makes tho fact of a government license in one's possession prima facie evidence of intent to violate tbe State law, except iu cases of registored pharmacists, and as tho defend ants in this case did not come under that class tho judgment of conviction is af firmed.

TTIE QUEEN'S SPEECH. Points from the Document as It Will lie Presented to Parliament To-Day. London, f Feb. 10. The Queen's speech was read at the ministerial dinners tonight. It opens with a reference to the cordial relations existing between her Majesty's government and all foreign conntries. Portngal, it says, has acceded to the request of England in regard to central Africa, and the Portngnese government is doiag its best to maintain tho friendly relations that have always existed between that country and England. With these endeavors her Majesty's government heartily co-operates. It next alludes to the Brussels conference, and expresses the hope and faith that favorable 'esnlts will be accomplished by it toward the suppression of the slave trade. Egypt is congratulated upon her financial prosperity, and the Saraoan settlement is briefly alluded to, and there is a promise to lay beforo Parliament all the papers relating to tho Samoan conference and to the extradition treaty with the United States. Turning to colonial themes,' Jier Majesty expiesses hopes for good results from the federation movement in Australia. in home legislation Ireland will demand a prominent place in the attention of Parliament. Her Majesty is glad to announce a marked diminution in the amount of agrarian crime and a decreaso in the number of counties wherein it is found necessary to enforce exceptional provisions ot law. mere is a promise to jniroaucea land-purchase bill aud a local-government bill and other measures for improving the material interests of Ireland. The programme of the session fnrther in cludes, for England, a land-transfer measure, a tithes bill and an employers' limited liability bill; for Scotland, a measure empowering the local authorities to deal with private bill business, also proposals lor alleviating the distress in the highlands and for improved dwellings for the workiug people.

The extradition treaty with the United States awaits only approval in Washington. MISTAKE OF ORLEANISTS. The Young Duke's Friends Ask for the Repeal of a Law and Are lladly Beaten. Paris, Feb. 10. Inrthe Chamber of Dep uties, to-day, M. Pradene moved the repeal of the law banishing pretenders to the French throne from the country. The law, he declared, was an exceptional measure. It wounded tho patriotic sentiment of the people, and prevented thuescendants of an illustrious and warlike race from serv ing their country. He demanded urgency for his motion. M. Thevenet. Minister of Justice, opposod the motion, holding that it would be un just to abrogate the law, particularly now that certain alliances had been lormoa. MM. De Larmasele and Mitchell spoke in support of M. Pradcnel's motion, but it was rejected by a vote of 323 to 171. The Countess of Paris, mother of the im prisoned young Duke of , Orleans, has ar rived in this city. It is announced that the Count has abandoned his proposed tour of Amenca, and will return to. Eng land. The Legitimist nartv has been creatlv bothered over the little dilemma presented to them by the scrape into which thcI)cke of Orleans has precipitated himself, and is unhappy at the ridiculous spectacle of a prince who has provoked ' a foolish agitation at a moment when there was no good reason for any agitation whatever, and nothing to be gained by making one. let. while they feel thus. they are restrained from giving vent to any such sentiment by the thought that it would be Ii8e magestic for them to submit tbat the heir of all tho Bourbons is not tho wisest of mon. In this frame of mind they havo been sadly in want of somobody to blamo for the prince's advent ure, and are now inclined to come out strongly, as they have found at least two persona unon -whom thev ean Iir the fault. These persous are the Duchesse of Lsesand tho Duke of Luyines. lhe Duke of Luyines is the comrade of the Duko of Urleans, and the Ducbesse of uses is the mother-in-law of the Duko of Luyines. It is admitted that a foolish ambition to figure as an organizer of events inspired the Duchess, and that working upon tho younger pretender through Do Luyines she set him on to this loll-, lhe moral that the Republicans draw from this is to point to the troublous times when more famous Bourbon princes were puppets attached to strings nulled bv some intriguing and am bitious women, .and to reflect that the Bourbons of to-day are tho same as those of other days. It is admitted to-night that M. De Pradine's motion in the Deputies was a loolish step, because it has made tho im prisonment of the young Duke a party Question. If tho caso had been left to tho general good nature of the people, there would hardly have been a harsh thought about it. Opinion had already shaped itself so readily tbat. even if a plot had been shown to exist. it wonld have been laughed at, like the plot of a comic opera, and tho government felt itself absolved of responsibility for auvthins more than a formal conviction. to be followed by a pardon. But the motion and vote in the Deputies has changed all that. It presents the Duke as the thin edge of a movement for tho repeal of a law that tbe nation desires to see maintained. It is reported that the government has decided that tho Dnke of Orleans shall be sentenced, on Wednesday, to two years' imprisonment, whereupon President Carnot will immediately pardon ' him and he will bo escorted to the frontier and shown out of the country.

COLLAPSE OP A LOTTERY SCHEME. Friends of the North Dakota Measure Suddenly Withdraw It from the Legislature. Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 10. The great lottery scheme suddenly collapsed to-day. without a single note of warning. The friends of the bill in the House moved its indefinite postponement, and carried the motion. They then advised tbe Senate of the death of the measure. The real reason for this back-down has not developed, unless the pressure of President Harrison and others in Washington, as well as the presence of detectives and nowspaper correspondents, who were in the confidence of tho opposition, were too much for the lottery people. Another dispatch says that at the afternoon session George Walsh, of Grand Forks, to the great surprise t)f the minority, the audience, and many supporters of the bill, moved that it be indefinitely postponed, and the Senate so advised. Tho motion was unanimously adopted. This unexpected movement can be attributed to the inability of the friends of the scheme to get two-thirds of tho House, and the folly of passing it without. Tho indignation meetings, protests and newspaper attacks contributed to the defeat of the bill. The Senate has gone into the investigating business as well as the House, and today adopted a resolution for the investigation of the passage of the lottery bill, lhe Senate resolution, however, goes further than that of tboHouse.andinstructsalso for the investigation of the recent election for United States Senators.

Dr. Woolsey Stryker to substitute tho following: While since really honoring the Westminster symbols for what they are and have been, we desire to avow our deliberate opinion that the time is ripe lor a new statement or our Christian faith, which snail fully reflect the spirit of God's word as that word is to-day reverently held by our church a creed, brief . clear, devout, evangelical, irenical that shall give a reason for tbe hope that is in us, and commends itself to the consciences of all men as a biblical and practical expression or. or concord witn, those holy ora cles wnicn are tne only mraiUDie rule 01 xaitn and life. Dr. Johnson was given tho floor and spoke in favor of his second specification. He said that there was not a word about Calvinism anywhere in the speeches of those who favored putting away the old creed. Rev. Dr. Woolsey Stryker spoke in favor of tho adoption of a new creed and for the resolution introduced by him as a substitute. Altera long discussion, at times unite warm in character. Dr. Stryker's substitute was rejected and Dr. Johnson's specifica tion adopted by a vote of 4$ to 21. The twenty-one votes were cast by those mem bers who favored the formulating of a new creed.

The Tow-Boat Port EadsStrikes aBridgo Pier and Sinks in Iho Mississippi. Se-ven of the Crew Drowned and Ten Others Injured and Taken to the Hospital at Memphis Fatal Boiler-Flue Explosion. Memphis. Feb. 10. The tow-boat Port Eads, Captain Nelson Davis, of the St Louis and Mississippi Valley Transporta tion Company, was sunk this morning, at 7 o'clock, at the site of the new railroad bridge, two miles below the city. She carried a crew of about forty men, and for a time tbe wildest rumors prevailed, the loss of life being placed at from twenty-five to thirty, but it is now believed that only one per son, the colored chambermaid, was drowned. The Port Eads had a tow of grainladen barges and one fuel barge, destined for New Orleans, from Cairo. They passed the .city shortly beforo 7 o'clock this morning, during a heavy fog, hugging the Tennessee shore closely. The steamer approached the bridge as slowly as possible, but owing to the dense fog she was unable to locate the sunken pier. A moment later she was seen to stop suddenly, hang stationary for a minute and then swing around with heavy force and settle on one side. Men ran from every direction to tho yawl, tightinsr each other in panic-stricken desperation to reach it. One man detached the ropes holding it and was about to climb in, when water rushed in over the boat's deck, and ail ran to the other side. Another wave closed over the deck and she settled lower. Ten of the crew were taken to the United States Hospital near by, suffering from cuts and braises, and the remainder were cared for at the houses along the shore. The Port Eads was valued at 50,000. The barges and contents are uninjured. Later. It is now known that seven of the crew were lost. They are: William llickey,' watchman: leenie Jones, colored. chambermaid: John McDermott. second cook, and fireman William Stewart, James alker and an unknown, all colored. 1 he only body so far recovered is that of McDermott. Pilot Gud Hiner. who was on watch when the accident happened, makes the following statement: "Captain Davis, pilot Townsend and myself were in the pilothouse. I was at the wheel, and. owing to dense, black smoke, I could not see moro than twenty feet in front of the boat. When I discovered the pier I signaled the engineer to stop the machine, bnt it was too late, as the next moment the fuel barge hit the pier and went down. I was powerless to save the boat and left her to tbe mercy of the water. When I realized what had happened I ran down into the cabin and brought Mrs. Townsend out on the hurri cane roof, and was in the act of putting her on one of the barges when the vessel careened and sunk. She was thrown into the river, and, after drifting down stream some distance, was picked up by the taT Welcome." It is probable that a suit for damages will be brought against the bridge company for not having tho pier protected. The Port Eads had the most complete and valuable steering gear ever on a Mississippi-river steamer, but the swift current, running more than six miles an hour, caused the tow to Hank down against the stone pier or obstruction, and knocked the steamer into a thousand fragments, all in spite of the most earnest efforts on the part of the pilot, who is as skilled in his profession as any man on the river. As the fleet hit the pier the fuel-boat was thrown on top of it. hung there for a few minutes, then broke in two and was carried under, and went out of flight in a moment, The six grain-loaded barges scattered aud drifted oft' with the current below, carrying Capt. Nelson Davis.' of the steamer, together with his mate and seven of the deck crew who had leaped on them as their vessel went to pieces. The captain and his assistants managed to guide tho barge down to near the foot of President's island. They bumped hard a time or two but were not crushed and drifting into slack water they were finally landed in safety by the tugs Welcome and Mayflower of the Bridge Company, which tugs followed after them very quickly after their mishap. One of the loaded barges only is seriously injured and it is leaking freely. Tho harbor boat H. M. Townsend went to the relief of the wrecked fleet and at a late hour to-night was occupied in trying to stop the leaks in the injured barge. The others wero made fast to the bank and are all safe. Boiler Fine Explodes with Fatal Effect. Dubuque, la., Feb. 10. A flue collapsed in one of the boilers of the Standard Lumber Company's mill this morning. There are ten boilers in the concern, but only four were running at a pressure of eighty pounds, just enongh to furnish power for the planing machines. The engineer, Joseph Reed, was fatally scalded, and died at noon. The fireman, Richard Rigler, was blown 250 feet, landing on tho ice in tho river. He was scalded and sustained other injuries that will prove fatal. The damage to tbe building was slight. The dead engineer was a candidate for the position of steamboat inspector made vacant by the recent death of Cant. John Scott. The boilers are of steel, and showed abundance of water. 31rs.
