Infane Man at the Station-Uouse Was Onco a Wealthy Cincinnati Merchant. Information was received at tho police station yesterday that . J. Fierlein, who is detained for insanity at the station-houso, lives at No. 674 Central avenue, in Cincinnati. Ho disappeared from home tho early part of last week, and his wife has since been almost distracted. The publication in the Journal yesterday led Mr. Charles Klein, a hook-Keeper for the Syndicate Brewing Company, to make an investigation, the name having boon ' spelled Fearline on the police slato. He found the prisoner to be a man whom he knew in Cinclnnuti, as a well-to-do flour merchant on I'earl street. Ho aajs Fierlein lost all his means in unfortunate investments, and took a position as Hour inspector in the Chamber of Commerce, a position he held when he disappeared. Mr. Klein speaks of his friend as a man of fine character, about fortriive years of ajt. and entitled to the most sympathetic consideration, A talecram whs received yesterday morning from J. P. Wee Km an, Fieriem's brother-in-law, asking fcr information about him. The facts were wirt lack, and later another dispatch saiathatMrs. Fieriten would arrive to-day to take her hnsband home. The latter was not so talkative em be vat Saturday, but upont a part of the day sine ing and mumbling to himself. His principal delusion Is the posAeoiion of (treat wealth, inherited from his father, a brother, as he imagines, of Napoleon the Great. m ... i ELTIEWIXG THE YEAR. 5atnre of the Municipal Reports They Will Be a Little Bit Late. The annual reports which the various departments, except the controller, are nrepariDg to submit to the Mayor - be very voluminous documents.' Tho report of the Board of Pnblio Safety will include the annual reports of the East and West marketmasters, the superintendent of police, police matron, police surgeon, fire chief and building inspector. It will cover about two hundred pages of manuscript. City Engineer Mansfield's report will show all the streets and alleys that have been improved, the sewers and all kinds of improvements: in fact, all the work in detail that has been done since the passage of the charter by the Hoard of Fnblio Works. The latter' s report will be more general in its character. It will deal altogether with glittering generalities. What else could be expected, when the fate of the electrio-light specifications and the water contract is remembered? The Board of Health and tho street commissioner will also submit reports. These the Mayor expects to receive by to-morrow, hat Cleric Steep saja his report will not bo completed by that time. The Mayor will base his annual report to the Council on what the reports contain. Amusement. Messrs. Belasco and De Mille's comedy drama, "Men and Women," which has perhaps been more successful than any other recently-written American play, will be presented for tho first time hero at the Grand to-night, continuing until Thursday, by Charles Frohman's excellent company. "Men and Women" had 250 consecn. tive performances in New York, and in the other cities it has been received with like favor. It is a play of very strong interest. The 31 ay lluell Burlesque Company will Le seeu at English's Wednesday and Thursday evenings, and the last two days of this week the attraction will be Lizzie Evans in her new comedy, "Aunt Prue." Two very popular stars. Joseph J. Dowling and Miss adie Hassan, will plav at the Park this week, the engagement beginning this afternoon with "l ha Ked Spider," which will run until Thursday, after which Nobody's Claim" will be uiven. local Ilnrte Market. The Indianapolis horse market has been very active the last two weeks. Buyers are here from Boston and Philadelphia. They are purchasing only heavy horses for. fire departments, tine carriage horses and a buggy horse whici will go inside of three minutes. In the last three days they have shipped east four car-loads of this class of hordes. They will not boy a horse which would be classed as an ordinary animaL OnriCE deiks at Wm, L. Elder's.

TO CONTROL THE MACHINE

Bemocratic'Aspl rants Fighting to Capture the Organization of the State. Combination! Formed and What They Mean Taggart tho Strongest Candidate for the Commutes Chairmanship. Things are growing warm and interesting among the Democracy of the State. As there is no concentrated point for the reception of returns from Saturday's primaries it is difficult to tell which of the contending combinations is likely to come out ahead in the preliminary skirmish at the district conventions. In Marion oonnty, the most influential in the State, the Bynum people will have a walkover, and, unquestionably, Tom Taggart will be the member of the State committee from the Seventh district Then will come the contest for the chairmanship of tho Stato committee, which will have an important bearing upon the gubernatorial fight, and is even expected to eiert some influence in national politics. Mr. Taggart will be a candidate for the chairmanship. Behind him stands tho Bynum interest, backed by the influence of the -Tariff Reform" League, and all the free-trade cranks, including the afternoon and morning organs of Democracy in the city. Hitched on to this combination is Senator Torple, now aa avowed candidate for re-election. This is the most powerful combination of tho whole outfit, and not a little of its strength is given by Mr. Tnggart'a name. He has the prestige of two very successful campaigns in this county, and the Democrats of the Stata Lave come to believe that the staroi luck pursues him, and that his management of a campaign insures its success. It is given further prestige by a general belief that Bvnum's candidacy will represent the ClevelandMills idea in national affairs, and thin sentiment is being worked for all it is worth. Kia-ht up neit to this combination In strength, however, is another, which has James E. Murdock, of Lafayette, as a candidate for State chairman. Mr, Murdock is the ex-warden of the northern prison, and a potential factor in Indiana politic. In cahoots with tbeMurdock combination are the varied railroad and natnrai-gas interests of Calvin S. ttrice. the United States Senator from two States, Most prominent among those who represent Mr. Brice are Silas P. Sheerin, of Loaau sport, and K. G. Bell, of Fort Wayne. Mr. Sheerin is superintendent of Mr. Briee's natural-gas plant at Logansporr, and also secretary of the national Democratio committee. Mr. Bell, formerly a State Senator Irom Allen, is the chief legal adviser in all matters representing Mr. Briee's Indiana railroad and gas interests. This combination has for one of its purposes the nomination for Governor of Congressman Shively, from the Thirteenth district, who is reeognized by the Democratio leaders as Mr. Bvoum's most formidable opponent The Murdock'Brice-Shively plan goes further. Their programme has elements of the complex, far-reaching and audacious, contemplating the boosting of Mr. ShiveJy into the United States Senate as the successor of David Tnrpie, who at present is appareled in one of the togas allotted to Indiana. The fro gramme is to enlist in the combine some ikely young Democrat to run as Lieutenant-governor scmo one with approved surroundings and a following to commend him, who is to be compensated for taking second place by a promise of elevation to the executive chair as soon as the plans relating to Mr. Shively?s promotion to the Senate are realized. Aa near as can be ascertained the Democrat now regarded with most favor, and most likely to be invited to become a part of the combination, is Mason Niblack, of Vincennes, twice Speaker of the Indian House, who has some Considerable prospects himself for the nomination for Governor. The ShiveleyMurdock, etc., crowd represent the Hill idea in Indiana politics, and in favoring Hill's nomination for the presidency their organization partakes of . a national tlavor and otFers battle to the Bynumites on every score that could be dosired. Another element, somewhat limitedin dimensions and importance, as compared to the two foregoing, cn templates Claude Matthews as tho candidate for Governor and Charles L. Jewett as the chairman of the Stato committee. Mr. Matthews, as yet, is not creating tnurh of an uproar with his gubernatorial candidacy. He does not desire to do so at this stage of the game, because Mr. Matthews wants it understood that if hecan not be Gr ernor he very much wants to be Secretary of State another term. As Mr. Matthews figures it there may - anae an exigency that will Eush him to tho front. The political drift, e takes it. is toward a more senerons recognition of the farmers in theconstrnction, not only of platforms, but also ot tickets; ana for all political purposes, he is ono of horniest-banded of the hornyhanded class. In the event that there should be no ench demand Mr. Matthews wants it distinctly understood that he has never been a candidato for Governor in any sonne, and that to be re-elected to his present office is the summit of his ambition. , In his race for the chairmanship of the State committee, with Mr. Matthows on his side, Mr. Jewett has something in view beyoud. This something is 8enator Turtle's senatorial seat. Mr. Jewett is an adroit politician, and understands the playing of his politioal cards. He has been twice State chnirmnrv and the last time claims to have piloted the party to the most notable victory in the history of the State. Theresnltof the last campaign, however unfounded his claim, gives him considerable prestige. He was popnlar with the old committee, and the one way to insure bis selection to once more direct the affairs cf the party in Indiana was to secure the re-election of a majority of the old committee. This has been tbe plan of the Jewett campaign. Once more at the head of the State committee, Mr. Jewett figures that his position, hi wide acquaintance, his ability to dictate legislative nominations, will give him an advantage that will place him at least on a level with the rest. De feated, Mr. Jewett will at once become a political noneutity. Flcurlnc" on a 11111 Organ. A rather queer development in the Democratio -split between the Cleveland and Hill following is the prospective publication of another Democratio afternoon newspaper in this city to serve as the organ of the Hill followers. A patty of men have been in the city during the past week figuring" on the cost of an outfit and the expense of launching a sheet. They say they have 50,000 in cold cash to invest and they will probably need it alL The Sentinel and News," said ono of the projectors yesterday, "are both rabid freetrade papers, and both fall down and worship before Cleveland. We do not believe they represent the sentiment of the Indiana Democracy, which is more conservative on the taritl question and believes that most of the depression in trade is caused by the limited supply of money. Because they are the only Democratic newspapers of prominence published in the State, they work together and assume to boss the Indiana Demooracy as well as to voice their sentiments to the outside world. We shall have a fully equipped two-cent afternoon newspaper in the field long before the delegates to the national convention an selected, and we'll see whether or not Indiana's voice is to be out of tune with the national programme of the party." Apparently Governor Hill and his friends think it would be worth their while to sink a little money in an Indiana organ, aud it is said that Isaac Posey Gray knows ail about the scheme, and looks upon it with favor. Scott Kay is spoken of as the probable editor of the new organ. Fought the Policeman. John Ferriter was arrested on Noblo street last night by patrolmen Asch and Fickel. ou a charge of loitering. While awaititg the wagon in Sehad'a drug store, corner cf Washington and Noble streets, he suddenly jumped at Asch and seized him by the collar. The officer struck hlxa with

his bare knnckles several times beforo ho became quiet. The additional charges of resisting an off cer and profanity were regiitertd against him. Ho has been in repeated troubles. TflE MODEL ROBBED AGAIN.

This Time the Thief L'ichaneed Clothing and Left a Letter That Caused ills Capture. Patrolman Edson yesterday morning discovered a large hole in the huge plate-glass in the Model clothing-store window on Pennsylvania street, and soon convinced himself that a bold robbery had been committed. A discarded overcoat and a suit, yery dirty and ragged, indicated that the thief had exchanged these garments for a new out lit Word was sent to police headquarters, and the detectives were detailed on the case. The investigations discovered a letter in the pocket of tbe discarded coat, and, with this as a clew, the haunts of a well-known colored thief were watched. About 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon information was telephoned in thatthe suspected man bad been located, and Superintendent Colbert, with detectives Thornton and Page, drove to the point suggested. The thief was found visiting with respectable friends at No. ISC Patterson street, and was wearing the identical clothing stolenincluding a pair of shoes. He gave the name of Kobert Wilson, aged twenty-three, at the station-house, and was reeocnized as an old-time offender. He bnt recently was released from the work-house, for stealing a watch. He says it was 2 o'clock in the morning when he threw the missile, a brick, through the window. Wilson's story ns to the time of the robbery is not credited. Officers, both of the merchant and of the city force, were constantly near the store until nearly daylight, and at 2 o'clock Captain Dawson was on the Model store corner. Wilson was seen at the Uuion Station at 8:40 a. m. in his old clothes. It .was probably about, 5 o'clock when tho brick flew through the ' plate-glass. Wilson said he had watched Merchant policeman Clary go west to Meridian street. PAINTERS1 TROUBLES. The New Union No, 1 Hot Reeognized by the Larger Delegate Oodles. The organized labor of the city is oppos-' ing the claims of the corporate body known as Painters' Union No. 1 to tbe right to use the name. "This body of men," said one of the leaders in the Central Labor Union, "is a seceding organization from Painters7 Union No. 47, which derives its existence and powers from a charter issued by tho painters' and decorators7 national body. It would be impossible for organzed labor to- recognize seceders, for the idea is inconsistent with unionism. Employers would have to meet conflicting bodies of journeymen, with two scales and two rules ot work. There might as well be no anions at all. For this reason tbe seceders are forever barred from recognition from trades-unions. And then again, we hold they had no cause for secession. The committee appointed to arrange a schedule ot wages, it is true, were not instructed, except to make the best terms possible. It was not specified, of course, that they must not agree to rules which violate the constitutional rules of the national body, but yet that is just what they did. For tbe sake of a thirty-cents-an-hour scale, which was an increase, they sacrificed tbe prinoiple that non-union men must not be employed. Upon this alone it was possible to enforce an observance of the scale. The season's history proves this point. They bargained for ifO cents and received 27Mt per hour. The mistake of No. 47 was in trusting so important an affair to an incompetent committee." In connection with this subject, tbe Journal's reference to the seceding painters called out the following communications. To the Editor ot the Indianapolis Journal: Tbe statement published in a communication to your paper concerning so-called Painters Union, No. l, Is misleading, and that the public may not be imposed upon by tho employers of the men constituting said alleged union, permit me to say that there is but one bona fide painters' union in thla clt7, viz.: Union No. 47, Brotherhood of Painters and Decorators of America. It is a strong organization and.i part of the Central Labor Union. The many unions of this cltr will speak in no uncertain way concerning (bis effort of fonr non-union tirrns to mislead fiople who are friendly to our cause into bestowg work upon enemies. D. F. Keknedt, President of Central Labor Union. To the Editor ot the Indianapolis Journal: In behalf of tbe Brotherhood of Painters, Un'on No. 47. 1 rlh to ey that It alone is recognized bv the etnto Federation of Labor as representing the union painters of Indianapolis. The nondescript organization of which your paper speaks as Painters' Union, No. 1, has no recognition or standing among unions, and is a snare and a delusion, conceived, guided and perpetuated by four firms ot contracting painters to gall the public and Injure the trade-unions. T. M. Grcelle, President State Federation of Labor, German Typographical Union. The German Typographical Union, No. 14, yesterday considered the labor templo movement, and elected a delegate to tho meeting for organization. Instructions were given him to labor for a change in the directorato, eo as to givo each onion a member of this board, and delegate to the board tbe power to elect an executive committee. The union is also much opposed to a aelf-perpetuating board of trustees. Tbe secretary reported f 1CJ.80 paid out in bene tits to members in the six months ending Dec. 31. The election of ollicers resulted as follows: President, A. Baur; vice-president. Otto Boetticher; secretary, Valentin Hofuiann; treasurer, Constantin Scbaefer; trustees, August Tamm, Chas. Heber, Louis Tisch; delegate to Central Labor Union, Henry liedderich; delegate to labor temple conference, August Tamm; alternate, II. Hodderich. : Kailway Conductors. The local division of the Orderof Kailway Conductors have heartily indorsed the labor temple idea aud will subscribe for stock. Delegates have been appointed to the meeting Friday night. "We railroad men," said one of tho members of the train-service orders, to a member of the Central Labor Union, "have come to the conclusion that it is folly to work longer in opposition to the trades-unions. We have gone before the Legislature and opposed your measures, and yoa have not helped us with ours, and we have both failed. There is no good reason why we should not unite. Engineers and tbe Temple, The locomotiro engineers held a meeting yesterday at which tho labor temple proj. oct waa discussed. It was deoided to subicribo liberally to the land, and it is said, this division will probably take five hundred shares. Frank B. Alley and William M. Bly, with three others yet to be named, were appointed delegates to the Friday night meeting for organization of the Labor Temple Association. Tbe engineers received a report from tho committee on tho ball given Christmas eve, showing net receipts to the two organizations, firemen and engineers of $3jo. Mrs. Mary Todd Wilson. . Mrs. Mary Todd Wilson, who died at her residence, No. 115 Pern street, on Saturday, was one of the oldest residents of this city, having lived here for seventy years, sbo being in her seventy-ninth year at the time of her death. Her fatal illness was the outgrowth of an attack of grip. Her surviving children are Maj. Oliver M. Wilson, of Arkansas City. Kan., Henry C. and Franklin P. Wilson, of Chicago, Mrs. Uiaco W. Morrison and Miss Alma Wilson, of this city. Her brother. Dr. Wm. J. iJrbee, now lives at Ash (J rove. Mo., and her sister, Mrs. Lucian Barbour, at Washington, 1). C. Mrs. Wilson was a conscientious Christians Iouk a member of the Second pTesbvterfan Church, recently of the Tabernacle Church. Judge Elliott on Novels. Jndge Byron K. Elliott will read a paper before the Indianapolis Literary Club this evening on the subject of "Novels." As the occasion is also one or the enjoyable 'ladies' nights" of the club a full attendance is expected.

CATCHING ELECTRIC CARS

Some of the Peculiarities of People Who Bide on Mr. Frenzel's Thunderbolts. Passengers Have a Eespect for Them Somewhat Akin to Terror Peculiarities in SignalingThe Fat Friend's Discomfiture. To the close observer nothing is of mora interest on a dull Sunday afternoon than the panorama presented on the Illinois or College-avenue street-car lines by the people who get on and off th cars. The task, nowadays, of stopping a street car at a desired point Is no easy thing, owing to the multiplied increase of motor power, and the multiplied indifference of that modern czar, the motorman, in whose hand rests tbe fate of so many lives. It requires the sagacity and circumvolutions of a backwoods station-agent, minus the red canton flannel, of course, to pursuade one of these chariots of lightning to stop, or even so much as condescend to modify its pace to suit tbe convenience of an acrobat, to say nothing of the ordinary rheumatic citizen, who is not in the babit of mounting thunderbolts on the lly. Tbe average Indianapolltaa is coming to stand in awe of the electric street car, aa it does not take exactly a skull-cracker to convince him that there is danger ahead. Bnt with whatever feelings of terror he may see tho disgruntled coach flying down street at the rate of thirty miles an hour, it is with still more chilling terror that be beholds that man at the crank, whose arctic gear and Herculean breath, rushing like the cramped but furious steam from an escape valve, have caused him to make peace with his Maker and stand ready for tho final end at all hours. ' The feat of getting on and off cars is coming to be a distinctive art of itself. There are very few men who can get on or off a car gracefully. It is easy for a fleshy gentleman, perhaps, to get off in a polished manner, in which case the seat of his trousers is the principal beneuciary. Of course all lean as well as fleshy bodies of gentlemen of tbe city insist, or did at one time in their lives insist on having the cars stopped stone-still before they attempted to get off. but after many experiments wherein they were forced to slide down in the rand far from the crossing, and wheel themselves out to tbo pavements like porpoises, many of them have concluded that it is better to risk a pop-shot at a dry spot, and, like a postal oard. submit to the uucertaiu mercy of their carrier. So it falls out that the close observer who freezes himself on a street corner for the sake of cratifymg his curiosity may nee the inhabitants cf this goodly city fall in and out of the electrio carato the entire satisfaction of his last lingering desire. If a man is on tbe right side of a car. he inclines his body toward the rear of the car, hangs on by both hands, and drops his left lea back before letting all holds go, whereupod he is sometimes received in the long, limp, yet fond embrace of a stretch of treacherous and slippery asphalt. Tbe one who begins practicing this feat vrill generally neglect some of tbe detail, be may drop hisjright foot back. and. if tho car is coin nr at its scheduled speed, he is likely to follow it for about one-half a block, in a confused mass. Before you (ret on a car you si anal it to stop, of course, but did you ever, pause to reflect on the manner in which you perform the Actf A College-avenn motorman says there is a lady on his line who simply stands np at the crossing, bnt never signals. He has tried eeyeral times to run bis car past her, but says that he has always tailed to do so, and concluded, with the remark thatthe face of that woman would stop a pile-driver. A portly gentleroan on North Illinois street always stands in a stiff attitude, as though he were about to be sworn in as a witness, with his right hand up. It takes a woman, however, to go into hysterics while trying to atop a street car. She it is who will put her market-basket on the ground, and begin waving her umbrella the' moment the car is in sight, and keep it up until the motorman grows green with rage. The saddest and most pathetic sight ever witnessed by mortal man, or a gallery god. is that of some distinguished, corpulent gentleman runnine to make the f urthr side of tbe crossing in time to make the car. Does the motorman see him! Doom betThen it is that this reigulna despot gets even with tho world; then it is that ho shuts his teeth together, jama the lever to his left, throws open the brake and with one superhuman effort, by the aid of a sweet disposition and a fullelectrio charge, dashes beyond the dead line in time to save himself any responsibility, and, sizzinz on down the thoroughfare, leaves the dioapEoiuted and desperate passenger to stew imself down to giblets in the heat of his discontent. MURPHY TEMPERANCE LEAGUE. Great Attendance at the First Meeting of the Year Experience Meeting. The Murphy League. No. 1, had an audience in attendance at yesterday's meeting, in the Lorraine Hall, which required more than its seating capacity to accommodate. It was tho first meeting under the presidency of Captain Wirt. In his remarks he returned his thanks for the honor reposed in him. Tbe principal speaker was S. K. Emily, who has just returned from a trip of eightmonths through southwest Kansas. He said that while there are no open saloons there, and thus one factor in temptation is removed, yet there is much liquor sold and many drunken men are seen ou the streets. He reported that there is great need for gospel temperance work in Kaust.s, since the facts show that men canuot bo saved by temporal law. The meeting turned into a recital of personal experiences, appropriate in its tonic effect at the beginning of a new year. It is a well-recognized factwith the leaders in the league that tbe power of temptation gives way before a rousing experience meeting. Testimonies were heard from about twenty -five of tho members. It

was difficult to call the meeting to a close. Gospel hymns and prayers interspersed the sptaklng. Rev. Mr. Sawyer was present and spoke in his usual edifying way. The secretary annonnoed at tne close of tbe meeting that thirteen had signed tho pledge and donned the ribbon of blue. It was announced that a union meeting of all the leagues will be held next Snnday night in a hall at No. 145 Oliver avenue, in West Indianapolis. GAS IN TflE COLD SNAP.

Heavy Draughts on the Supply Quickly Seduce the Presinre Monday Is Dreaded. Tbe present cold snap has had mors than passing interest to the natural-gas companies. Every consumer throws the valves wide open, and tho heavy draughts upon the subtle fuel cause a great reduction in the pressure. A cold Monday morning is always dreaded by the men in charge of the reducing stations, because of the extra heavy draught. The manufactory boilers are cold, the stores and offices have become chilled by reason of being closed on Sunday, with the gas either turned out or turned low. The washer-woman wants a hot fire, and everybody wants to get warm quickly. A pressure of over one hundred pounds at the station," said one of the men yesterday in charge at a reducing station, "will noon melt away to fifteen or twenty pounds as completely as if poured into the open air. Now, this morning we bad a pressure here of 1C5 pounds at 6 o'clock, when the temperature was ten decrees above zero. Being Sunday the pressure baa not varied much, for the stores, factories, and offices are closed. It becomes lower at night when the churches and public halls are drawing on the line. This is the coldest day this year," continued the sDeaker, "with the exception of Nov. ?., when the mercury dropped to eight above." "What is tho pressure at the wells?" was asked. "It is necessary to allow the wells to maintain a pressure of 250 to SCO pounds by not taxing their output too strongly. If the pressure gets asflow as 200 pounds tbe pressure of the salt water is likely to overcome that of the gas and fill np the well. This is what we call 'pulling the bottom out of wells meaning that we draw too strongly on them. Both companies lost a number of wells tbe first year in this way.'1 FOOT-PAD ON CRUTCHES. John Tansy, an Almost Helpless Cripple, Charged with Highway Robbery. John Tansy, a cripple .who walks with a crutch and a cane, is under arrest on a charge of highway rebbery. Patrolmen Thompson and .Richardson secured evidence last night which they believe will show that he robbed one Chris Fagen, on New Year's night, of 05, on West Washington street. Fagen was locked np on a charge of loitering, to make sure of his presence as witness. Tbe explanation of the cripple's daring feat lies in tbe fact that his victim was too much under tbe iniluence of liquor to know or care whether he waa afoot or on horseback. t Progress Club Discussion. The Progress Club was yesterday addressed by S. W. Hose on tbe subject of tbe just equalization of wages. Thespeaker advanced the idea that there is something radically wrong in Talmage receiving $1,000 an hour foraspeech, while so many men cannot make a living. This bronght the comparative nature of fees and wages before tbe club, and in tbe discussion, as in the address, all facts and postulates went into tbe single tax hopper, and the resulting remedy took that form. Philip Kappaport, Judge Fellows and others discussed the propositions under consideration. Knights of Father Mathew Meeting. Atemperance meeting, under tbe auspices of tho Knights of Father Matbew, was held last evening at Riverside Beadingrooms, corner of McCarty and Chadwick streets. Rev. Father Gavisk, Mgr. Bessonies and Sir Knights F. P. Bailey and F. M, Byan addressed tho meeting. Sir Knight Mark Brcnahan presided. About twenty-five pledges were secured, mostly from young men. These meetings will be held from timo to timo in this section of the city, where much interest is being taken In the temperance cause. Struck Fliia In Church. Ad Fulloway assaulted a man named Russell, last night, in the Hillside Methodist Church, just after the service. He was arrested by patrolmen Harris and Carter. He told & Journal reporter that as lie en tered the church with his sister he heard Kussell, who is a steward of the church, make some slighting remark. He nursed hta resentment until the close of the service, and then walked up to Kussell and struck him without much warning. He will answer, also, for disturbing the peace. Bad Place for a Sick Alan. William Baker, a prisoner in the county jail, was taken dangerously .ill yesterday with congestion of the stomach. As his term would expire in a few days. Dr. Calvert ordered him sent to bis home, corner of Ninth and Yandes streets. His ofiense was assault and battery. Chiropodist and manicure.

But the doctor's prescriptions, and the increasing warmth of the temperature as we n eared the tropics, and, in particular, a couple of Atxcock's Porous Plastirs clapped on cae on the chest and another between the should cx-blades soon set me right." Russell Sage, the well-known financier, writes : 44 506 Fifth Aventk, New Yokx City, December so, 1890. ' For the last twenty years I have beta using Allcock's Porous Plasters. They hive repeatedly cured me of rheumatic pains and pains In my side and back, aad, whenever I have a cold, one on my chest and ens oa my back speedily relieve me. . My family are never without then." Marion Harland, on page 103 of her popular work, "Common Sense for Maid, Wife, and Mother," says : "For the aching back Allcock's Porous Plaster is an excellent comforter, combining the sensation of the sustained pressure of a strong, warn hand with certain tonic qualities developed in the wearing. It should be kept over the seat of the uneasiness for several days in obstinate cases, for perhaps a fortnight."

Beware of imitations, and do not be deceived by misrepresentation. Ask for Allcock's, and let no solicitation or explanation induce you to acccDt a substitute.

The Rev. Mark Guy Pcarse write : Bedford Place, Rcssell ScuAaa. t Londox, December xo, iteS, I think it only right that I should tell you ct how much use 1 find Allcock's Poaocs Plasters in my family and araor.st those to whom I have recommended tbem. I find thexa a very breastplate agakxst ccids and coughs." W. J. Arkell, publisher of Judge and Frank Leslie's Illustrated New $apcr writes : JCTCE CCILCWC, M Cor. Firm Ava. and SrrrsEXTH Strut, New York, January 14. i&jt. About three weeks since, while suffering from a severe cold which had settled on my chest, I applied an Allcock's Porocs Plaster, aad la a short time obtained relief. "In my opinion, these plasters should be la every household, for use In case ot coughs, colds, sprains, bruises or pains of any kind. X know that in my case the results bare been entirely satlsfac tory and beneficial.' Henry Thorne, Traveling Secretary of the Y. M. C. A writes : Exeter Hall, Straxd, Lojrno, February a, jSSS, I desire to bear my testimony to the value ot Allcock's Porous Plasters. I have used thera for pains in the back aad side, arising from rheumatic and other causes, never without deriving benefit from their application. They are easily applied and very comforting. Those enfiffed, as I am, la public work which Involves exposure to sudden changes of temperature, will do well to keep a supply cf Allcocx's Poxocs Piajtbxs In their portmanteaus. Hon. James W. Hustcd says: " When suffering from a severe cough, which threatened pulmonary difficulties,- which I was recommended to go to Florida to relieve, I determined to test Allcock's Porocs Plastess. I applied then to ray chest and between the shoulder-blades, and in less than a I orLuight was entirely cured." Henry A. Mott,Jrn Ph. D., F. C. S late Government chemist, certifies: 4 My investigation cf Allcock's Porocs Plav TER shows it to contain valuable and essentia Ingredients not found in any other plaster, and I find it superior to and more efficient than any other plaster."
