IS PLEASED WITH INDIANA

President Harrison Gratified with tho Large Gains Made Over 1890. Ebanklin Dcclin?s in Order to Hold Turpie in Line Against C raj-Want to Be Speaker Hanker Expelled. "The Republican party is still in the rins," said Secretary Frank Millikan, last night "It will be op and at oar friends, the enemy, ia 18H, and wo have canse to think we will win. We believe that the principles for which we contend are right, and will prevail in the end. With the barden of policies and the power to pat them in force in hand the Democratic party will bare less advantage, and its coarse will have to stand for approval. Indiana, a the returns enow, is still a close and doabtfal State. The President has sent word to the Republicans of Indiana that their coarse in the last election was highly gratifying to him, when other States are considered. He said while he would hare greatly prized the indorsement of a Republican victory in Indian, he was still pleased to know that the party bad succeeded so well in cutting down, the great majority against them. There n certainly no reason for Republicans to lose courage or purpose." 1 MtlliL'an ia hnt? AlffaHnff AVUV all the business from the campaign. All the bills incurred nave been paiu. a report will be made to the meeting of tho State committee in January. fihanklln Wants a lletter Job. Editor Shanklin," the Cleveland boomer, has declined the senatorial honors which many in the State wish to thrust upon him. He says in an editorial in yesterday's issue of his paper, the Evansville Conrier, that having declared for Senator Tnrpie's re-election, he cannot violate his pledges. Political pledges, ho says, bo esteems, and then adds a shot at Clande Matthews, who. having promised to keep out of the gubernatorial fight, carried oil its plum, as follows: ' "Lest some might be misled by the popularly accepted proposition that men do not always keep faith in matters of this kind the Courier wishes to say, and its statement is made upon the authority of Mr. Shanklin himself, that be has never for a moment entertained the Idea of entering the contest against Senator Turpie." Wanes Tim Grtffln's Job. The office of custodian of tho State-house has been held by Tim Griffin for a number of years, lie was elected to tho position in the party caucus and also appointed by the Governor as a matter of form. His expense account has been high. bnt the building has been clean and well-cared tor. Ills re-election is now to bo contested by Dr. Berg, at present deputy under Dr. Metealf, secretary or the State Board of Health. Griffin, however. has the support of Governor-elect Mat thews, lie is anxious to know whether Dr. Berg means to follow the example of Dr. Met-ealf and Leon O. Bailey, and also hold to his present otUce in caso he should hap pen to be elected custodian. Blanker Unceremoniously "Fired. At a meeting of the Hendrioks Club last Saturday night, among tho seven or eight members w.ho were expelled for various causes was ex-Coroner Dr. Frank Manker. It is said that the Doctor was somewhat behind in his dues, butthat the chief reason for his suspension was tho alleged fact that bo worked sealously against the election of Dr. Beck, who defeated him in the Democratic convention last spring for the corouial nomination. It is a well-known fact that at that time Dr. Manker was very bitter against his successful adversary, and it has been hinted since that be had not bur ied the hatchet and rubbed noses with tho long-haired, then-was county physician. Dallots Thrown Out. Chief Supervisor of Elections Van Bnren yesterday finished his report of the number of ballots rejected, mutilated, etc Threefourths of the preeinets made returns of this nature. The total number contested in the county is 1S6 of State ballots and 155 of local ballots; mutilated ballots, 40 of the State ticket and 49 local: rejected bal lots. State. Stf7; local. 378. This is about one and three-fourths ballot to the pre cinct, which shows a better education on the nart of tho voter as to the ballot law than in 1S00. In the fifty-third precinct ten State and eight local ballots were thrown out, this being tho highest number rejected in one precinct. Matthewe's Private Secretary. Secretary of State Matthews, Governorelect, eaid, yesterday, that he bad not decided to announce who will be his private secretary, but the information is given out from other sources that this office will be filled by his present deputy, Myron D. King. Speaking of his present term of ofSce, Mr. Matthews said: "My term as secretary or state expires Jan. ltt, 1 will. however, take the oath of office as Gov ernor on Jan. 9, which aot will vacate my office as Secretary of State. The duty will then bo incumbent upon me to appoint a Secretary lor eight days. 1 will give some one official glory for that time,'' added tho speaker, with a emue, "but 1 don't know who it will be." , Want to lie Speaker. The speakership of the House is to be warmlr contested in the next few weeks. There are six Candidates, .among the more prominent 'of whom are Captain Curtis, of Indianapolis, and W. A. Cullop, of Vmcenncs. Both were members of the last Legislature and were re-elected, and will be the leaders of the mainritr. whether in the chair or on the lloor. There rh nn indiratini am rHtVtiiph will iirrv the most strength. The other candidates are Ader. ot Putnam, Montgomery and Clay; Erwln. of Adams and Jay;IIench, of Allen, and Fippen. of Tioton. Kern for District Attorney. . It is said that John W. . Kern will be appointed United States district attorney. He is one of the Cleveland wing, and does not train with the Gray element at all. His election as Senator will enable

THE THANKSGIVING GAME. Interest in the Annml Foot-Bill Contest Growing as the Day Approaches. Tho interest in Thursday's game of foot ball grows as the time grows shorter. Out at the State fair grounds a force of men is busy at work leveling and rolling the patch of ground on which the twenty-two seasoned and toughened young men will struggle for the championship. If all is completed as contemplated it will be as fine a piece of soil as ever the leather oval ras chased over, and all that remains is to formulate a reciprooity treaty with the clerk of the weather that there may be line weather In exchange for the article of ball to be put up. Of the teams, it can be said that each is in the best of shape. J. D. Thomson, treasurer of the Purduo team. was id the city yesterday, and he said all was in readiness for the contest. With excess of partisan enthusiasm the backers of the old gold and black are wagering their pin money that DePauw will not score against tbsir champions, and then go into a long discourse on the merits of their players to prove that they are not foolish In doing so. A thousand or twelve hundred people from Lafayette will be down to "root" lor the team, and promise to make the held a livelv one. In sleepy old Greencastle the eleven yonng men who are to stand or fall for tho honor of "old DePau w" are industriously working away on the finishing touches. Even such exoiting sport as foot-ball fails to excite the inhabitants of that dormant college town, whose people live within themselves and for themselves, and it is more than comineudable the amount of energy which the De Panw team infuses into its work. With no backing to spea or, ana no par tisan encouragement outside of a handful of students, the team is going doggedly on, with nine out of every ten people telling them they will be deleated, making every etiort to disappoint the nine and substantiate the belief of the one. Win or lose, the DePauw men will put up . rugged contest on Ibanksgiving day, and one which will be well worth seeing. All of her men are in good condition ana each has plenty of spirit to baok it up. John Minor, who for several years has been playing at naif-back and captaining tho team on the ueld, will not play owing to a disagreement with the management, and in his place has been put a young man named Newell. He is said to be speed v. a hard linebacker, ana a good man general ly. The sale for seats opened yesterday morning, and already many have been taken, with indications that a larger crowd will till the stand than ever before encir cled a gridiron patch in Indianapolis. The teams will line up as follows: Dc Panic. Purdue, lies Right End Iolk Whitcomb Rlsht Tackle Little Mltchel Right Guard Muesiel C. 11. Smith.... .J... .Center ....Ftevvuaon Ryan -...Left Guard.

Present at an Assault Upon lie r Daughter and Shielded the Criminal. James Alexander, a colored man forty years of age, was arrested Sunday night. charged with having committed a criminal assault upon Hattie, the ten-year-old daughter of EfHe Dickson, who resides in the rear of No. 23 Yandes street. In the Po lice Court yesterday morning ho was dis charged upon the testimony of the girl's mother that there was noth ing the matter with the girl. After his discharge a pbysici&n examined the girl and discovered that she had been injured. The girl was taken to the police station and Alexander re-arrested on the same charse. During the evening roll-call Mrs. Dickson appeared at the police station to see her daughter, and Superintendent Colbert ordered her arrested for perjury committed in the Police Court in the morning. The girl says that Alexander is guilty, and that her mother was present at the time the crime was committed. Stole the Money-Drawer. . About half-past 6 o'clock yesterday evening two colored men entered Pyle Bros.' grocery, at 24J Massachusetts avenue, and called for an article which made it necessary for the clerk, who was alone in tho store, to go to the rear of the building. They paid for the article and departed. A few minutes sfterward the clerk went to the money-drawer to make change and found that the drawer had been stolen. Tber was S"0 in it at the time. The clerk is positive the two colored rflen had stolen it, and left a deecriptiou of them at the police station last night. Marriage Licenses. Marriage licenses were issned yesterday to Thomas F.

SUING THE BIG GAMBLERS

One of tho Victims of Tron, Kabke et al. Tries to Get His Monev Back. Alleged Perjury in folics Court Disposing of Criminals Fredericks Denied a iJiT&rce Watson Case. Alexander Deel engaged too freelyin the festive game of craps. Luck was agin him and the bones didn't roll to win. He tried to change his lock by changing places, and tried his luck in nearly all of the larger games in operation in the city. The "bones" always told the came story. however, and, as usual, the ''house'1 was in it and Deel was out something over $1,000. He then sought other means to win and consulted a lawyer. The outcome of the consultation was the filing yesterday afternoon in the clerk's office of four complaints, in which he sought to recover the amounts lost in tho various games. The defendants in the emtaUiled yesterday aro Gus Rabke, proprietor of the gamblingrooms at 1S7 East Washington street; OUie Lanhaui. on South New Jersey street; Wm. Tron, North Illinois street, and James Kofls. on West Washington street. ihe . amount sued for in each case is from 8200 to 300. Deel lost money in other rooms, but tbe proprietors having made overtures towards a compromise the suits against them are withheld for a few cays pending the negotiations. The point presented by the suits is a novel one, bearing npon the law regarding wagere. While money won on a bet cannot be legally collected or held after having been collected, the losers usually consider the obligation binding in honor and they never find their way into tne courts. . Alleged Libel In a Brief. Georgia Ann Wilkins has filed suit against Clinton L. Hare, asking 5,000 dam ages on a complaint for libel. The alleged libelous matter upon which it is sought to recover was contained in a brief tiled by Hare in a case in the Circnit Court, wherein he appeared as attorney for the Board ot Children's Guardians. The board had been granted tho custody of Mary, William and Clara Van Walters. children of Mrs. Wilkins, by a former mar riage. Afterwards Mrs. Wilkins liieii a petition in the Circuit Court asking tbatsUe be granted the custody of her children. It was in this case that the brief was tiled. In his brief Hare said that Mrs. Wilkins. then Van Walters, "neglects her children, led a life of low ana gross debauchery, and the associations of said children are such as tend to their corrup tion and contamination." Mrs. Wilkins says that she has always borne a nood reputation in the neighbor hoods in which she lired and that by reason of the matter contained in the brief she has been damaged 5,000. Alleged Ferjary in Police Court. If the police-station slate siznities any thing there was an abundance of perjury in tbo Police Court yesterday morning. Julius Jones was arrested for petit lar ceny, acoused of having stolen a pair of trousers on Indiana avenue. John Hounds testified in tho case, and it was said he swore falsely, and he was promptly ar rested for perjury. In another case several "craps" shooters were arrested for partici pation in a game on Seventh street. John Glover and Julius Thomas testified in the case, and both were arrested for penury. Glover, however.was afterward discharged npon the orders of Superintendent Colbert Ihe Cadi has on a number of occasions ex. pressed bis intention of enforcing a proper respect for the dignity of his court and after an arrest has been made where some witness is accused of having testified falsely, for a tew davs the dignity of the court is present to the extent of becoming oppressive, bnt the im pression seems not to have been deep. Justice' Cae. Justice Daniels yesterday fined Joseph Galatza Si and costs for calling Charles Galinoa d n liar. Galatza thought the judgment an imposition and appealed to the Criminal (Jonrt Moses llnrnsteln was lined $1 and costs for assault and battery npon Carrie Hicks. It appeared from tbe evidence that Mr. Hicks had given Bnrnstein a check for $2.50, and when it was preseated for payment the bank refused to honor it. Burnstein went to the Hicks residenco. and not finding Hicks at homo began abusing his wife, and ended by pushing tier violently against a door. Thomas R. Watson, in a complaint filed before Justice Daniels, yesterday, asks judgment in damages lor $5 againet Green Baldwin. Watson save that he is the own er of a lot at the corner of Jefferson and Rrookside avenues, and that Baldwin entered upon the property and removed a. lot of sod therefrom, for which he asks judgment for the amount named. One Widow Knifed Oat. Judge Brown yesterday .gave his decision in the case of Watson vs. Watson, In which two women were claiming to be the widow of the same man. Mary Jane brought suit against 8arah M. Watson to have her marriage declared void. Evidence was intro duced showing that at the time of tbe mar riage ot Mary Jane to the deceased Wateon she was the legal wife of one John Lewis. Judge Brown held that upon this evidence she had no standing in court to contest the legality of the other marriage and did not rule upon it. The etlect of the decision is to declare Sarah M. the legal mt r a m mm mm widow or i nomas ai. Watson. Detroit Iron Halters. Judtre Taylor yesterday received from the Detroit Iron Hallers a copy of resolutions adopted by them at a mass-meeting held in label's Hail, in that city, on tbe 23th of October. Tho resolutions set forth the holding of the reorganization convention. held in the city in September, and recite a visitof James lountr, of Kansas City, one of the newiy-eiecied oiucers. to induce the Michic&iiders tounite with the otbersln the reorganization, this they refused to do. and deoiare in favor of a speedy winding up of tbo ailairs of the order by tbe receiver appointed by Judge Taylor. The resolutions are signed by about 'JG0 members of the ditlerent branches located in Detroit. Fredericks Got No Divorce. In the Circnit Court, yesterday, Judpe Brown decided tbe snit of John W. Fred ericks asamst Saxnantha C. Fredericks to annul their marriage. Mr. Fredericks, in his complaint, set np that at the time of their marriaze Mrs. Fredericks was the legal wife of Hugo Schmltt s, she baviug never l een aivorcea irom mm, and he be ing still alive. Jodie Crown held that in asmuch as it did not appear from the evi dence that Mrs. Fredericks bad kuowledge of thee facts at the time of htr "isrriatie wini r rsucriras, ua was not eniiueu 10 me relief asfced, and sustained the validity of the marriage. In the Criminal Court. In tbe Criminal Court, yesterday, Lon Rounds was sentenced to ninety days in the work-house on his pleaot guilty to a charge of petit larceuy. He stole some carpet, which he disposed of for drinks. Chris Jose stole biteen leaves of bread to Iced a do, so he said. Judge Cox sent him to tho work-house for thirty davs. Will' ism R.

Frmnla &!uf Merchant Aftalf-ns. Jennie Brockway, a shoo merchant at the corner of Indiana avenue and Vermont street, yesterday made an assignment to Wm. Treltschkc for the benefit of all her

creditors. A few minutes before tbe assignment, however. Constable Sorters stepped into the store and attached the stock npon

People who prefer tbe solid, roast-beef-with-Worcestershire- sauce-and plenty. ofpotatoes style of drama, with alow come dian and a soubrette thrown in as entrees. would probably have been disappointed in tbe three airy little comediettas presented by Rosma Yokes and her able company last night. It is easier to say what Miss Vokes's productions are not than to define what they are. They are as sparkling, evanes cent and innocent as a glass of ice cream eoaa. a - triple diu was given last night. Tbe opening piece, "Crocodile rears." deals with the efforts of an experi enced and dominant matron, represented by Miss Marie liillyer (who looks as if she had stepped out of ono ot JDu Maurisrs pictures, by the way) to instruct a young bride (Miss Evangeline Irving) in tbe art of managing a husband. Very naturally, the linai result is her subversion, and the emancipation of her own down-trodden spouse. The second performance, "The Circus Rider," has been presented in this city before. In this, the first appearance of Miss Yokes for tbe evening, she is supported by Mr. Courtsnay Thorpe, Mr. Walter Granville and Mr. Ferdinaud Uottsohallc. The third play, "My Lord in Livery," presented for the first time here, is a trifle longer tnan the class of performances given by Miss Yokes, though it is conbned to ono act. There is more scope given to the subordinate members of the company In this piece. It is doubtful if tbe audience is any the gainer thereby. Miss Vokes's support is fully np to the excellent stand ard it has maintained in former appearances. but a Rosina Vokes audience is perfeotly williDg for ber to take tbe center of the stago and keep it as long as she desires. Last night's performance will be repeated this evening. To-morrow night tbe threeact comedy, "A Paper Chase?' will be pre sented for the first time. KXGLlS.li'e- "THE OPERATOR." Melodramas nowadays bod it necessary to introduce scenic effects to make a suc cess, and, with that end in view, Messrs. Newell Bros. & Dinkins hare in their new play, "Tbo Operator," excelled many ot the plays ot that kind, and are giving the publie three startling, original and interesting effects, which caused the gallery gods last night at English's to bless the day that they were born. I he Operator" is a melodrama of the modern school, and tells an interesting story in a graceful manner. The scenery is as good as has ever been seen here, and the ship scene in the second act ia beautiful, while tho wrecking of the pilot-engine in the fourth act was startling. Such effects would make a success of a worse play than "The Operator." Willard Newell and bis twin brother William essay tbe hero and villain in an acceptable manner. It is dlfhcult to say which is the better actor. They are so much alike that no one knows which is whicn. MifiS Etta Heed makes a bright and lovable heroine. The comedy element is good and is equally divided among Messrs. Homer and Solden and Miss Dawes. On tbe whole "The Operator'' offers a pleasant evening's entertainment. The play will be seen hero to-night and to-morrow night, with a mati nee to-morrow afternoon. ".ME AND JACK' AT THE PARK. The "standing room only" sign went out before the matinee began yesterday after noon at the Park, and last night there was another audience so largo that tbo theater could not bold them. Lester it Williams's "Me and Jack" Company, with a number of new people and all new specialties, was tbe attraction, and no performance given at the Park this season has caused more laughter. Tbe piece is a farce-comedy

All these were introduced incidentally to "Me and Jack." which isn't a bad show by any means without them. Yesterday's performances made a hit. which means, judging from past experience, that the Park will bave great audiences all week. EMPIRE HYDK'S COMEDIANS. Hyde's Comedy Company opened last night at the Empire Theater to a fair business. It is a straight specialty company and has in its repretory some features that are very good of tbe kind. The descriptive vocalists, Joe Harden and Queen fletherton, wereenjoyed by those present,andMiss Maud Hayden's dancing was passable. The contortionists and athletic turns weresuperior.Tbe best thmgon the programme was tbe baritone singing by llelene Mora, borne of the witticisms fell rstber flat, but tbe show on tbe whole is an exceptionally good vaudeville performance. NOTES. Mr. Mervyn Dallas, an English actor who is said to possess talents of a high or der, will play a: English's Thanksgiving, matinee and evening, and during the rest of the week, in "House on the Marsh," a dramatized version of Florence Warden's popnlar novel.

T. Malott, C. W. Fairbanks and J. II. Ilolliday, and expects to control the property after tho purchase is consummated. Whether he will or not will probably not be determined until the new stock holders bave their innings at tbe May meet ing of tbe company. Notwithstanding the retlcenoe ot all concerned, however, there is a vast deal of gossip afloat about the deal. One story going the rounds is to this effect: Mr. Frenzel had a syndicate formed to purchase the Property at ?3.0,G00. and the thing was to ave been closed last Wednesday. Part of the capitalists, however, were New York men of large manufacturing interests. Seeing the way the election had gone tbey wanted to wait until after Mareh 4 to see if an extra session of Congress would be called to tamper with the tariff. Tbe Chicago stockholders declined to wait. At this point Mr. Shaker came in with backing to take the place of these backsliders, joined forces with Frenzel, and Together they are now pursuing tbe negotiations, linsiness. like politics, sometimes makes strange bedfellows, and sometimes there are pillow fights. Yesterday afternoon a rumor got afloat to the effect that tho bottom had fallen out of tho deal. Tbe reason given was that Frenzel became convinced that if it went through Mr. bhatler'a friends would be so largely in the majority that he wonld be given control of the lines, and that be (Frenzel) then proceeded to smash it. An effort was made to seo both Mr. Shaffer and Mr. Frenzel last night, but neither could bo aroused. Right on top of this rumor came a report from Chicago last night that the directors of the Citizens' couipsny there acknowledged that the deal bad been consummated. This report could not bo verified any more than tbe other ooe. One of the deal-makers who has been busy fixing things since the story of tbo ealo was first sprung, said there was no doubt but that Messrs. Malott. Fairbanks and Ilolliday wero in tho syndicate, and If tbey eeenred tbe hues Mr. Fn-nzel would secure control. He said tbeae men had bte.t working on the matter for several mont.''s, and did not intend to let' It fnll tbrougb now without a struggle. It will probably be some days before the real state of all airs can be ascertained.
