Troubles among the prisoners at the jail rarely reach the public car, thongh when so many of the roughest element mirglo freely in confinement in the corridors, . quarrels and tights are inevitable. Robert Love, a quarrelsome colored yontb, bo cut a young man named Lacey on the ueck with a razor, causes Sheriff Lr.ngenberg constant trouble. On one occasion previous to leaving recently for the Frison North Love assaulted Ed Zeanng. a fellow-prisoner, and, after knocking him down, kicked him kf brutally in the jaw. The bone narrowly v acapeU a fracture, and the jail physician had to be summoned.

Joseph Haley, driver of car No. 43 on the Madison-avenue line, had a tussle with a highwayman at the south-end turn-table night before last. The fellow entered the car and demanded Italey's money-box, but the latter responded by grappling with him. During the struggle a load officer happened to enter the car. and the robbor lied from the car. Several shots were fired at him. He did not succeed in securing any of the money, but caused tbe box tube npset in the mud. and thus to entail some loss upon tbe driver. This is the first attempt to hold up a street-car since a drivt-r shot and killed a would-be robber on the English-avenue line about ayear ago.

MATTHEW DENNING IS DEAD
Acute Pneumonia, Following a Severe Attack ol tho Grip, Proves Fatal to Him. One of the Best Known and Most Beloved Men in Indianapolis Came to America Penniless and Amassed a Great Fortune. Matthew Henning, after a short illness, died at the Deniaon House ahortly after 5 o'clock, yesterday afternoon, surrounded by his relatives and intimate friends. Everything possible was done to alleviate his suSerings. and the end was peaceful. The deceased had only been sick for a few days, and his death came in the nature of a groat shock to his many friends. Dr. Franklin Hays, in speaking of his last illness, said, last evening, to a Journal reporter: "Mr. Henning's health becamo impaired more than a year ago. ilis recent illness was the culmination of a general failure. He had suffered considerable exposure, and had gone through with a very unusual and trying work in finishing his report as . receiver of the Indianapolis car-works just prior to his last sickness. Since tbe death of his intimate friend. Captain Lindley, his ailments have been very markedly worse. His attack was begun "with a reenrreoce of the grip, from which he had been suffering for some months, and resulted in pneumonia of such an extensive character as to make his case hopeless from the very beginning." During Maj. Henning's illness his daughter. Mrs. (jalbraitb. and her husband, of Erie, Pa., and his son, Clarence, were with him the greater part of the time. His If u I Matthew Henning. friends. Mr. Harry King and family, and the professional nurse, Mrs. Gable, nursed him throughout his illness, together with numerous friends. His son and daughter and several intimate friends were present at his death. The lobby of the Denison House was tilled all day yesterday with friends anxiously awaiting news from him, and during the day telegrams from all over the State and various parts of the country were received inquiring regarding hia condition. V After his death the lobbies wero filled with people ready to offer condolence and expressing their regard and esteem for their deceased friend. Major Henning was a man whose reputation was unblemished lor honor, worth as a business man, geniality aud devotion to his friends. His striking individuality, ready wit and splendid judgment caused him to he the center of an immense friendship and acquaintance over the State and wherever he was known, and his death causes the deepest sorrow with many people. The funeral services of Mr. Henning will be held at his residence on Vermont street this afternoon, at 4 o'clock, and at 11 r. M. the remains will be taken to Evansville, his former home, where he will be buried Sunday. The career of Matthew Henning reads like a book, so full was it of the many little romances and incidents that go to make up the life of a thoroughly self-made man. Born July 11, 1SC1. in Ireland, a land which he loved and spoke tenderly and hopefully of to his last hours, within ten miles of the town of Belfast, he came to America when but a lad of but nine years, and, liae Benjamin Frauklin, on his entrance to Philadelphia, he had but a shilling in his pocket, was a stranger In a strange land, and knew not.where to lay his head for a night's shelter. By his native Irish wit and ability to take caru of himself he worked his way West as far as Madison, Ind. There he fell in with a kindly farmer to whom he bound himself for two years' eervice as a farmhand. But he saw nothing, boy as he was, in the dreary, tedious monotony of country life for him. That was why he left his home across the sex So at tbe end of his contracted service with the farmer he again struck out. this time going to Mt. Vernon, where he secured employment in a country store. All the trials, and hardships, and privations of such life were not lacking here, but the shrewd, persevering, quick-witted Irish lad hung on till a better opportunity presented itself. That came in a few years in the shape of an opening in Evansville. The position was only that of a porter in W. J. Lowry's grocery store, hut it paid him more money, and that was what Henning was after. He could live on money, and it would help his parents over in Ireland, but End wouldn't. His fellow-workman was . J. Mackey. now the Indiana railroad king, and tho two boys became sworn confederates. After a time the two boys had managed to save up enough money to open a little store of their own, over the door of which was a sign reading the Mackey-Henning Company. Their business prospered, and their additional means enabled them to build a large cotton-null which they also operated with considerable success for many years. While engaged in his mercantile pursuits he traveled over the States of Indiana, Kentucky and Illinois on horseback. This preceded the days of railroads and "Mat HenniDg" became known far and wide. Subsequently, as the years went on and fortune smiled approvingly on tbe young man. who but seemingly a few years before had been a poor, penniless emigrant, he became successively cashier of the Merchants' National Bank of Evansville. president of the Citizens' National and a director of tbe People's Savings Bank, which latter institution was proud to have him on its board np to the last hour. While with Mr. Mackey Mr. Henningand he built the Evansville. Kockport & Eastern railroad, now a branch of the Air-lino system. Twenty years ago Mr. Henning's wealth was reckoned in excess of half a million dollars, but subsequently, through unfortunate investments and because of the great general panic, his handsome fortune was almost wholly engulfed. Ten years ago he came to Indianapolis and organized the American Mutual Benefit Association, which has since become known as the National Benefit Association. He withdrew Xrom this two years ago. Since that time he has looked after his private interests.until fourteen months ago. after the failure of the Indianapolis Car Manufacturing Company, when he was appointed receiver, aud the management of its atlaira baa taken his time and attention. His report as receiver was tiled with the court a few days ago, and approved the day before his death. During his residence in this city it is within the truth to say no man hi been better liked among a wide circle of acquaintances. It has been said of him that he may have had weaknesses, but that he had no faults. He was always poodhumored and generous, with a special fondness for young men. These called him "Uncle Mat," a designation ot which he was rather proud, and they as well as his older associates will hear of his death with genuine and sincere sorrow. It was while living in Mt. Vernon that Mr. Henning met the late Governor Hovey. Both were then little more than boys, but their friendship has been hand in hand all through life, and both have closed their earthly careers within but a mouth of each other. He leaves a widow who. for many years, has been a hopeless invalid. She is a sister of Mrs. Robert Hudson, of Terre Haute. Two children also survive, both, ol whom
M<iSS&W' !
them is Clarence Henningand the other a daughter, Mrs. Wm. 11. Galbreath, of Erie, Pa. - - Margaret F. Stewart. Among the many whom death has lately claimed none can be more regretted by her friends than Miss Margaret F. 8tewart, whoso funeral occurs to-day. Though known in late years to but comparatively few, the mingled strength and sweetnees of her character impressed themselves so strongly npon those privileged to know her that she cannot soon be forgotten. By her death her sister. Miss Mattie C. Stewart, is left the only surviving member of her family. UK1YRSITT LECTURES. Fint Course Nearing Its End Programme for the Second.

The carpenters and contractors have not yet perfected a settlement of the scale for 1802. It is rumored that the two parties to the contract are nonearerasettlementthan when the journeymen's committee submitted their proposition, according to the agreement in the spring, in November. Numerous meetings have been held by the arbitration committees of five on each side, but without result It was tbe purpose, if an agreement could be reached, to make it date from Jan. 1, bnt that is now impossible. The contract under which the journeymen are now working holds until April 22. It has never been satisfactory, and, while tbe terms of the new scale have been successfully guarded from publicity, it is safe to say they cover all the ground the journeymen think they lost by the current agreement. As soon as this scale is settled it is expected a building trades council, dovetailing the interests of all the building trades, will be organized again. The last council was crippled by tho withdrawal of the carpenters, owing to longer eligibility under the contract with the boeses. The New Street-Car Hale. The order as to dead-head riding by the street-railway employes was still the subject of criticism yesterday. It was the first day on which the order took effect. The men are anything bnt pleased with it, and say it indicates a lack of friendly spirit upon tbe part of the management toward themselves. The regular all-day meeting of the brotherhood will occur Monday, and it is said the order will be considered at that time. Labor Kotes. The stone-cutters have authorized their committee on scale to make the same terms as last season with the master cutters. .The tinners' troubles at the Home brewery have been settled. The contract with Gardner, the non-union contractor, was rescinded. The laundry girls have about perfected the arrangements for a co-operatiee laundry. The subject will be considered again Monday night. ABRAMS IN POSSESSION. Swift Tnrna Over to Him the City Clerk'a Office Applea and Cigars. City Clerk Randall J. Abrams yesterday filed his bond of 5,000, signed by Thomas Taggart and Edward Shiver and took possession of his oflice. As announced, he named as his deputy George Kuhns, who will be clerk of the Police Court. There are rome who claim that Mr. Kuhns will not long remain Mr. Abrams' s deputy and that Tom Hedian is to have the place after while, but this cannot be substantiated. The appointment of Kuhns has raised a howl among a number of Democrats who claim to have been promised the position. Early yesterday morning Mr. Abrams opened two barrels of apples and several boxes of cigars, and a great crowd thronged his oflice. The New Council. The new Council will hold a meeting Monday niaht, to hear the report of the committee on rules, and a meeting will bo held next Thursday evening to pass upon the report " KpUcopal Clergy. The January meeting of the clergy of the Protestant Episcopal Church. will beheld at the home of the Rev. W. E. Engle, 6C6 North Pennsylvania street on Monday, Jan. 4, at ll:o0 a. m. Rev. E. G. Hunter, rector of the Holy Innocents Church, will read a paper on some practical toplo. The Protestant Episcopal Church will commence a Sunday school in West Indianapolis on Sunday next in the home of Mrs. Daniel Ward, on McClain street A 8trny Ilullct Complaint was made yesterday to the police, by Dr. Eastman, that a bullet apparently fired from the direction of the Enterprise Hotel, had entered a bath-room on the third floor in his property on Vermont street, near Delaware. It occurred at 2 o'clock in the morning. Superintendent Colbert had the matter investigated, and came to the conclusion that it was tired by some unknown celebrater of tbe new year. Itifltnp'a Annual Call on the Governor. Bishop Chatard ginco he took up his residence in this city a dozen years ago has on each New Year's day, when in Indianapolis, made a call npon the chief executive of the State. Yesterday was no exception to the rule, bnt as Governor Chase was absent, beiug in Hendricks county, the distinguished gentlemen did not meet Foand pMuper's Grave. The body of Harriet Bennett, who was killed on West Washington street was yesterday interred by Girton at tho county's expense. Word was received from her brother. Harvey it. Armstrong, at Hamilton. Ont, that ho could do nothing, and that tbe authorities here could do as they pleased with, tho body
THE RAVAGES OF LA GBIPPE
Large Percentage of the Population of Indianapolis Attacked by theDisease. Number ef Deaths Alarming Talks with Physicians Tha Scourge Scientifically .Considered Most Ran Its Course. It is remarked by physicians that the present visitation of the various forms of disease now generally and indefinitely called grip is more serious than any previous visitation of this disease. "There are three varieties prevailing here," eaid a physician, "the nervous, tbe catarrhal and the gietro-intestinaL The nervous and intestinal are most frequent The nervous variety is characterized by severe pains about the head; the catarrhal involves the respiratory organs. Among the sequela) of the catarrhal grip is pneumonia, which is especially fatal to young children and to aged persons. The gastro-intestinal type of grip is attended with diarrbcra, and is less dangerous than tho catarrhal. It is matter for dispute as to whether or not there is a fourth form, to be called cardiac, as involving the heart This is dangerous. In all cases of grip, however, the poison seems to have a peculiar affinity for the heart Grip is specifically an infectious, not a contagious, disease. It is destroying more lives than any epidemic that has swept over the globe, more than cholera, but it does not excite the apprehension of that disease, as its manifestations are less terrible." "There is undoubtedly a great deal of grip prevailing," said Dr. John II. Oliver. "When the last grip epidemio was here I was at tho City Hospital and so can make no comparison. It has even attacked the physicians. Dr. Brayton is down with it and Dr. Potter has jnst oome out of a personal case. It is apparently no respecter of persons. How do I propose to put people in the way of escaping itf 1 have no advice on that score. The thing to do when a person has the gripisto keep off the complications. It isn't the grip, its the complications that kill." "It seems to be more prevalent but less violent." remarked Dr. It F. Stone, "at least that is my experience. The disease will probably prove mora Berious in Febuary and March when winter breaks up. The damp, warm weather has brought it on now. Dry, cold weather is against its development. To escape it I should say avoid expoiure to inclement weather, loss of sleep and fatigue and avoid intemperance of all kinds. Grip is a serious affection to the extremes of life and with those of weakened constitutions. The most serions complication, of course, is pneumonia." "There certainly has been a great deal of it," said Dr. Allison Maxwell, "but I think it is now on the decline. This visitation has been more serious in its complications than former ones. People must learn to take care of themselves. If they do we shall have fewer complications with the grip. In the liue of prevention I should recommend a good food supply, plenty of sleep and regular habits. By the way, it's rather strange it doesn't attack more newspaper folks and doctors. The disease is feebly, infectious, but doctors do not catch it readily, because when they leave a patient they go out into the air. However, I believe Dr. Dcnson aud Dr. Moilitt aro down with it" "It seems to be increasing," said Dr. C. K. Ewing, hoimeopath. "In old porsons the grip is nearly always followed by pneumouia, I think that some of the deaths attributed to grip, complicated with heart failure, that the heart failure is due to the use of anti-pyretics. These remedies aro need to relieve tbe pain, and when the pain has been rolieved it is found that the patient is dead. 1 notice that in Berlin and other European cities anti-pyretics have fallen into discredit They have become alarmed at the heart symptoms these antipyretics develop." "It is alarmingly prevalent," remarked Dr. G. W. Combs, "and much of it is in a severe and dangerous form, and all the more dangerous wheif followed by pneumonia. It is freanentty the second attack of grip that tellsa recurrence of the disease when the patient has been too hasty' about getting out - It is more apt to attack old persons than children, and the old are apt to have heart complications. Comfortable clothing, good food, sufficient sleep and the avoidance of changes of temperature are the best preventive measures. A few days of good cold weather would do much to rid the city of it" "I have recently been a victim of the grip myself," said Dr. W. H. Kindleberger, "but my personal experience is not valuable. It is the complications that come with it that make it dangerous. The heart complications and pneumonia are worst." Dra. Mackey and Geiss, tbe the two physicians at the City Dispensary, note the unusual prevalence of the diseaso, and between them they now havo twenty-five or thirty cases. They say that half the cases are of this complaint though but few of them are of a serious character. The grip epidemio has been going on tor a month, but has been specially severe during the past two weeks. At times it takes a whole family, and among the patients of the dispensary doctors there is one family of five persoos all suffering with this disease." "A physician can have no means of knowin how large a per cent of population is afflicted by the grip," remarked Dr. Henry Jameson, answering the question of tbe reporter, "but we all appreciate that there has been a great increase in illness and if, instead of grip, .the epidemic should be cholera and have a like number of deaths people would flee from the country. I think tho disease will run its course by the end of February. Ic is particularly dangerous to aged persons or those whose constitutions have been broken by hardships or dissipation. It seizes the man who does not take care of himself and the heavy drinker is a bright and shining mark. When attacked his death is almost sure, as his constitution is unable to resist the bronchial troubles which follow." Medical Knowledge of tbe Disease. Dr. George M. Bradley presents in the New York Tribune the subjoined summary of facts recently ascertained by tho medical profession respecting la grippe: No other disease diffuses ltseir equally widely over the earth's surface. Like Asiatlo cholera, it sweeps over a country from east to west. It is independent of bydrometrio, thcraomctrlo and barometric changes. There Is a close resemblance between la grippe and dengue fever, iioth have. In common, sudden invasion, high temperature, lumbar and muscular pains, with cephalalgia. Males are more trequentlv auected with the influenza than females, and those following outdoor occupations than those working within. Children are almost exempt from attack. The disease is due to a livlnsr germ, a definite micro-oauism, which multiplies uuder favorable co i ditlons. The bacillus has not yet been definitsly recognized. Pathologically, thi re seems to bo nothing abnormal relating to the influenza per sc. except it he a lesion ot the spinal cord, as has been seen at some autopsies. A singular circumstance is reported from Australia. A new pulmonary disease has appeared there, caused by an apergiilus. Now, the spores of the aspergillus fimilgatus are tho cause of la KTipie. according to tha latest opinions of many Hnnlish physicians, to, what appears here as la grippe, often complicated, it is true, with pneumonia, developes in Australia a pneumonia pure and simple. La grippe is contagious. The Health Board of this city says it is a "contagious dicease in tha ordinary acceptance of the term, although probably only slightly so." In a special report to the BritUh government Dr. Pardons says it is uudoubti-dly infectious, communicated Iroin one to the other, but there are many other less direct ways iu which the disease may travel. l)r Leeson, another Lnglish authority, holds that it passes lrom patients to their frienda and neighbors who come in contact with thorn, and he advocates one week's quarantine. Dr. Thomp.sou, In hi work giving a historical survey of the pant epidemics In (Jreat iirltaiu, emphatically averts that influenza is contagious, but be add: "It does tot follow tha! it J the only or even the most frequent method of communication. La grippe appears in tliiee forms nervous, catarrhal and ant:1i. Dr. Juliu Althous and other authorities deny, however, this commonly accepted view, and pronounce Influenza to be an infection nervous fever, tho symptoms of which only differ so far as, the localization of tht irritant poison In tbe dlllV rent centers of the tervou syetem ' eoueerned. Tha JiriU-u Mrdical Association has ascertained that thoti who have previously suffered trcm la grippe do not possess immunity from a fiecom! M-iure, aud in most cases recovery is protracted ai;d slow. It i estimated that 40 per cent, of the catarrhal car8 of lccuenza end in a typical pneumonia. La grippe stands foremost as a factor in nerv
ous diseases. It may be complicated with or followed by hysteria, hypochondria and various forms of mental disease, generally ef a low or depressed type. Of the simple neuroses, tbe most common are sleeplessness, amnesia more or less general, neurasthenia, hypochondriacal and self-conscious feelings, neuralgia and, rarely, fits of an epileptic nature. In the more developed nervous disorders there have been examples of delirious mania, acute mania, hypochondriacal and other forma of melancholia, and the self-conscious state has. In some casca, grown into true delusional insanity. Patients who. as the result of influenza, become insane, as a rule recover. But there are two classes in which there is real danger those in which acute delirious mama occurs and those in which general paralytio disease is present La grippe attacks the sane more readily than the insane, according to the investigations of the authorities of the Scotch asylums.

It Disappeared from a Trail and Turned Up In a River. VPhlladelrhla Record. Owing to the mysterious disappearance of a 17,5o0-pound steel plunger ttflvast Edgar Thomson steel-works at Bessemer havo been compelled to suspend all operations, and, unless the huge piece of machinery turns up again, the works will have to remain closed until Jan. 5. For weeks the employes of tbe Robert Wetherlll & Co. iron-works at Chester worked day and night to fulfill a contract calling for 56,000 pounds of casting by Dec 12 for the Bessemer firm, which annually stops work for a short time about Christmas to make the necessary repairs caused by the wear and tear upon its machinery. The contract was carried out according to agreement, and on Dec. 12 the plunger was shipped on two flat cars from Chester to Bessemer, which is within a few miles of Pittsburg. Tbe cars reached their destination Dec. 15, and the Bessemer works started instantly to put the castings together. All went well until the time arrived to attach the plunger to the cylinder, and then it was discovered that the plunger was missing. The Wetherill firm was telegraphed to that no plunger baa been shipped. Richard Wetherill replied that the missing casting had been shipped, and he produced the necessary papers to prove his statement Without this casting, which, in connection with a hydraulic crane, forms a necessary appendage to the works at Bessemer, nothing can be done. The firm was, therefore, extremely anxious to find it as speedily as possible. Its value is $1,500. but the loss of the sum, of course, is nothing when compared with the loss that the suspension of tbe works until Jan. 5 (which time will be required for the Wetherill firm to complete a new plunger) will entail. Upon receipt of the telegram from Chester, the secretary of the Bessemer firm came immediately to Philadelphia and consulted with the Pennsylvania railroad officials at their Fourth-street office. The company was confounded at the news. Never in the history of the road, it was said, had a similar miscarriage occurred. The only supposition that could be advanced was that on one of the steep mountain grades and curves between Philadelphia and Pittsbnrg tbe big piece of steel had slipped off the car and rolled down into some neighboring stream. The track-walkers, however, have not discovered the slightest sign of tbe casting, and not a trace has been found of any damage cansed to the road-bed or to any embankment which the sliding of eo ponderous a mass assuredly would cause. The railroad is responsible for the value of the plunger, and is using every effort to locate it Meanwhile the Bessemer works are at a standstill, and will remain so until the Chester firm completes anew casting. The plunger is sixteen feet long, twentyfour inches in diameter, and has a flange of thirty inches. It was securely loaded on the car in a cradle, and beside it was a cylinder. The cylinder reached Pittsburg in safety. The great weight of the pluncer seems to preclude the idea that it could have been stolen. According to a dispatch from Pittsburg late last night the casting was found in the Susquehanna river at Columbia. Heresy Trials an Anachronism. Bev. Dr. Philip Brhaff, in January Fornm. Heresy trials seem to be an anachronism in our aue and country, which allow the largest religious liberty consistent with public order and peace. On the continent of Europe they have ceased, at least in the Protestant churchs. Tho theological professors in German, Swiss aud Dutch universities aro not sworn to a creed or profession of faith; they are not responsible to an ecclesiastical tribunal, and they enjoy the widest latitude of investigation. But in this country the theological seminaries are the creatures of churches; tho teachers are appointed and supported by churches or by their representative boards. .on the basis of a creed, which they have to subscribe to. It is a singular fact that theological and political freedom do not progress at equal pace. England, with greater political freedom, is more orthodox thau the continent; Scotland is more orthodox than England; America is more orthodox than Europe; the West and the South are more orthodox than tbe East, in our country. Tbe strictest Roman Catholics are not found in Italy and France, but in Ireland and in tho United States. So the Episcopalians, the Presbyterians aud the Lutherans of this country are leas liberal and progressive than their fellow-religionists in the old world.
