FELL DEAD ON THE STREET

Sudden Demise of Adolpbus Abromet, tho Well-Known Insurance 3Ian. Ilis Daughter's Arrival a Moment After Ilis Death IPs Lone and Honorable Bain8s Career. Adolpbus Abmmet, in point of service the oldest insurance agent In Indianapolis, dropped dead at the corner of Pennsylvania and'Market streots yesterday afternoon, shortly after 5 o'clock. lie was in appsreut good health before his untimely end and about his death was a pathetic atmosphere, for a moment after ba expired his daughter Lizzie held him in her arms and sought to kiss the cold i't-fch tack to life. ilr. Abromet had shown no predisposition to heart disease or apoplexy, although it is believed bis taking oil was due to a sudden stroke of the latter. He bad been in good health for some time, slight head aches alone giving him aminor annoyance. One of these headaches troubled him somewhat yesterday afternoon, and he left his oilioe to call on Dr. Coinpton. on Ohio street, to get a prescription tilled. His daughter. Miss Lizzie, was with him, bnt they parted company when the father set out for the physician's ollice. After obtaining the Prescription, Air. Abromet returned -to Pennsylvania street und had reached the Martindaie lUock corner, at Market street, when be halted a moment to speak t Thomas Moore. Mr. Moore turned about, only to see Mr. Abromet suddenly reel and fall to the ground. As Mr.. Abromet foil, bis bead struck an edge of the block pavement, receiving a gash on tho forehead. Several bystanders rushed to the aid of the gentleman and as slated in raising him. His daughter was in his ollice, near the corner, at the time, and when sent for rushed across the treet to him, and. making her way through the little knot of men. took her father in her arms, lie was already dead when she reached him. Dr. Browning was called, but a physician's services were of no avail. The inanimate form was taken into a neighboring store and a message sent lor an ambnlance. The body of Mr. Abromet was taken to his late residence, at 483 North Illinoisstreet. Mr. Abromet came to Indianapolis in 1S61. He was born in Kwnlgsburg. Prussia, where he was highly connected, in 1S34, ana upon coming to America in 1S50 he first visited the Sooth, finally locating at Havana. Cuba, where beremainedforthree years.

His first employment in this city was in the foaition of bookkeeper at the arsenal, le gave this np to become a clerk in the otlico oMho .Etna Life Insurance Company. When William Henderson retired from the agency of the company Mr. Abromet succeeded him. lly gradual accumulation and prudent investment he became prosperous, his fortuno permitting him to retire from the insurance business in 1S81. After that time his career was marked by reverses. 11a was a candidate for city treasurer, bnt was unsuccessful. Then, with Austin H. lirown. he nndertook the publication of an agricultural paper, known as "The Farm. Herd and Home." This newspaper venture survived about three years, netting a loss for Mr. Abromet of $000. He left Indianapolis afterwards and located in Chicago as an Insurance agent for Moore & jAines. There he remained until 1687, when he returned to Indianapolis and opened a real-estate and insurance ollice on North Pennsylvania street. At the time of his death he was the agent for the Lancashire company of England and others, Mr. Abromet was known as a man of sturdy honesty, and to this quality was duo a number of his reverses in troublesome financial times. He paid large debts that were entailed by mere verbal contract, debts that he was not bound by law to satisfy. He was faithful to his friends and a crowning feature of his life were his happy domestic ties. His entire family survive him. including- bis wife, his daughters. Miss Anna L., the singer. Misses Lizzie and Hortense, and a son. John C. a traveling salesman. One of Mr. Abromet' s nephews is now a professor in the famed botanical gardens of Kcemgsborg.

Silas Pritchard. a callow youth of some eighteen summers, who claims the classio Tillage of Whacktown. Hendricks county, as bis home, came to the city bright and early yesterday morning to spend a glorious day among the many anticipated dalights Silts la a cowboy and &o brought 6

with him the refreshing odors of new apple blossoms and ox-eyed daisies over which bis feet have trod many a weary mile in the past week. When he reached the city yesterday morning be bad 24a month's wages, "not countin' the wasbin' and mendiu' "and while casting about Sonth Illinois street, bis attention was attracted by a bright and shining 44-calibre revolver. He purchased the weapon for $4. and then, with his friend "Bill" JJaker, of Liztou. started for the elephant. Not only the elephant but the tiger fell under Si's gaze, and before night be not only lost Mr. liaker but was hopelessly confused himself. The glare and bustle of the city after nightfall were demoralizing, and the Whacktown young man sought the Union Station and the train that would whirl him baok to old Hendricks and the farm. Hut he was destined to witness things more wonderful to his plastic mind ti.an he bad ever dreamed of. In an unfortunate moment the new revolver protruded from his hip pocket and caught the gaze of the wily depot policeman. Silas was arrested and carted to the station bouse, where he was locked amidst a gang of twentyfive circus sharks and confidence men. These gentlemen recognized a victim in the country lad, and the cry of "fresh fish !" was echoed throughout the lockup. Tho unfortunate youth was speedily tleeced of all his trinkets, and then compelled to listen to thirty verses of the musical absurdity, "Hey, Keub," sung by the army of pickpockets. SI spent the night in miserable reMeotions and execrations on the fate that deluded him into leaving the plow in the midst of early corn planting. SnBIVERS ARE DISMISSED

Little or No Evidence that They Were 31ixed Up with llio Counterfeiters. The "Hunter" Caught in St Joseph Proves to Be "Buck" Farley, Well Known t j the folice in Indianapolis. Yestesday afternoon Samnel Shriver and wife and G. W. Whitehead, alias C. IL Hunter, were arraigned before Commissioner Van Buren, to answer to the charge of having made and circnlated connterfeit silver dollars. The prisoners were arrested by a deputy United States marshal at Madison, two weeks ago. on information divulged by the confession of another C. If. Hunter, who was recently arrested at St Joseph, Ma, for the same oflense. It now transpires that the Missouri Hunter is none other than Buck Farley, the notorious thief aud pickpocket, whose reputation is well known to the Indianapolis police. The witnesses against the Shrivers and Whitehead were Francis M. Marshall, United States marshal of the Missouri district, Mrs. David Hess and Mrs. Margaret Kane, of St. Joseph. From the testimony adduced In the preliminary bearing yesterday it appears that the Shrivers were not guilty of actual complioity in the contemplated work of manufacturing spurious coin, but by a chain ot circumstances were in some way associated with Whitehead and Farley, which brought them under serious suspicion. Shriver and his wife, who is a mild, delicate woman, were living on a farm near North Bend, Neb., last November, and employed Whitehead to do general work about the place. He told tbem that he was known as Hunter, having acquired the name while on a ranch in Wyoming. He remained with the Shrivers until they sold their farm last March, when all three came to Madison, and from there to this eity. Here they met Buck Farley, and during the latter part of April the latter, in company with Whitehead, went tobt. JosepbMo., where they remained nntil tho 1st of May, when Whitehead returned to Madison. Mrs. Hess, one of the Missouri witnesses,keeps a boarding house at St. Josepb,and during tho stay of th two men in that city they occupied a room at her home. On tho day that Whitehead disappeared Mrs. Kane, another boarder at the house, chanced to pass the room occupied by Whitehead and Farley andherattentionwas attracted by a small furnace in the apartment. Inquiry as to the use of the article elicited the information that it was utilized in beating the room, but the landlady was not satisfied and investigated further. The result of her search revealed a number ot other peculiar implements and she communicated with the police. United States detectives were sent to the house, and with little search unearthed a complete counterfeiters' outfit, including a large number of half-linished silver dollars and a large quantity of metal necessary to the manufacture of the coin. The toola were seized and Farley was arrested. He admitted that he knew all about the scheme, but denied that he had been associated with it. He testified to having seen Whitehead make the spurious money, and aaid that he had been told that an arrangement had been made in this city by which tho Shrivers were to furnish the genuine money sutlicient to carry out the plot, and they were to look after the eastern branch of the business at Madison.- The St. Joseph marshal yesterday produced the onttit captured, aud also the confession of Farley, the United States judge at St Joe re. fusing to allow the prisoner to be brought hero. After a close examination into the evidence tbe Commissioner decided to dismies Shriver and wife, tbere not being sufficient evidence to convict them. Mrs. Hess, in her testimony, stated that while Whitehead was at her house he produced a picture containing a group of himself, Shriver ana wife and a child. She inquired who they wero, and he replied that the woman was his wife. The examination of Whitehead was continued until to-day, and will be resumed at 10 o'clock. The prisoners were represented by Attorney Kealing. John don In Jail. E. J. Johnson, tbe Vincennes detective, an account of whose counterfeiting exploits was given in yesterday's Journal, was brought here yesterday by the United States authorities and placed in jail. Deriding an examination before tbe commissioner. llobbed ot Her Forte. Miss Florence Walker, of Danville, Ind., came to tbe city yesterday to visit the circus, and. before leaving for ber home, fell a victim to pickpocaets. She carried a small handbag, in whieh was inclosed her purse containing &X) in bills. While standing in front of the Park Theater, intent on witnessing the parade, she felt a slight pull at tbe satchel and, a moment later, discovered a knife slit in the retieule through which her purse had been extracted. Miss Walker was greatly exercised over the Joss of her money, and enlisted the sympathy and aid of patrolman Duty, but the oOicer failed to capture tbe thief. Mortality of State O Ulcers. The matter of mortality of State officers has been giving the youthful Auditor of State, J. O. Henderson, some concern, though as far as years and appearances go his would be a very desirable "risk" for any life insurance company. He has made out a list of those who have died since the election of lS'JO, either In ollice at tbe time or not having, with slight exception, long been out of otliee. Nine have died, as follows: Judge Mitchell and Judge Berasbire. of the Supreme Court; Judge New and Judge Hobinson. of the Appellate Court; James It. Kyan. James 11. ltice. Bruca Carr, William E. MblacK and Governor Hovey. - No Direct Evidence Against Them. The coroner at Yellow Springs. O., writes the authoritses here that they have no direct evidence against Sam Craft 'and George Koss, the negroes accused of tbe murder of John Valentine, and can only produce as testimony the story told by the latter to his sister before his death. The Yellow Springs oflcials have petitioned the commissioners of their county for funds with which to assist in proseoutmg the case. Wall Fftuer Eastman, gbl;ic&sx & Lea

UNSATISFACTORY COPI BOOKS.

State Bosrd cf EJocation Will Demand ft Thorcuzh Revision of Them. The State Board of Education was in session yesterday afternoon, but in this capacity only organized and read the minutes of tbe previous meeting. In the capacity of the State Board of Schoolbook Commissioners, the report of the committee appointed to consider tbe subject of the revision of tbe copy books was received from Superintendent Jones, of this city, and Superintendent Wiley, of the Terre Haute publie schools. The report was quite thorough, and recommended a revision of the books, in order to make them better adapted to the wants of the , schools of tbe State. Tbe books supplied under the present contract with the Indiana Schoolbook Company have not given satisfaction and need revision, tbe board believes, in very many ways. The contracting company will, therefore, be directed to furnish another set of copy books in accordance with the idea of the board. The present contract expires on July 1, 1SU4. The Indiana company has nntil then to furnish a new set of books, and in case it refuses at the lawful price, the contract will be Jet to the lowest bidder. Tbe board will meet this morning to consider the reports of examinations for life and State licenses to teach for which examinations have been in progress all over tho State. The preparation of questions tor county licenses will also occupy the attention of ihe board. It o ate to the V. F. e. C. E. Convention. The Indianapolis local union, in executive session last night indorsed the action of the Indiana Christian Endeavor transportation committee in the eelection uf the Lake Erie & Western, Wabash and Canadian Pacific railways, as tbe official line to tbe international Y.
