THE INDIANAPOLIS' JOURNAL, MONDAY. MARCH 19, 180L

author of the measure (Mr. Bretz), belns absent, it was unfair to resort to that proceeding to defeat the measure. He said that there was a precedent for favorable action upon measures of this character, ani thit he had a froodly Lunch of similar bills before him for immediate consideration. Mr. Martin said that the bill simply proIosed "to jrlve the man a chance to prove that he was Injured in a pensionable degree with Morgan's men," and that "If he cannot do that he Rets nothlnjr. The punshot wound was received in actual battle." At this Mr. Talbert smiled broadly and reiterated the statement that Hislop did not meet the enemy, and If injured by a bullet it was doubtless a stray one from a friendly quarter. Mr. Martin reviewed the organization and the purposes of the Indiana legion, declaring it to be a regular military organization of that State; but he admitted that It was not mustered into the service of the United States, and was simply an Internal organization against invasion. Mr. lirookshtre shied his castor into the rintf at this point, and declared that when a man belongs to a military organization of a State, and where a military force was invading the State, as Morgan's force was coming Into Indiana, and he volunteered his services in this military organization to resist the incoming of troopM and destruction of property and everything of that sort, and was injured, he was as much entitled to a pension as a man who had carried a gun under a regular enlistment outside of the State. "Hut there is no evidence to show whether Hislop shot himself or was shot by anybody, or hurt himself in endeavoring to get away." interposed Mr. Talbert. "Hut this is to give the man an opportunity to show whether he was wounded in battle," retorted Mr. Hrookshire. There was a lengthy war of words In this vein. In which the Southern men ridiculed the Idea of pensioning the Hooslers who enlisted against the Morgan raiders, and in which Chairman Martin announced that he did not believe that any of them should be pensioned, r.ccept where it was proven that they were wounded in battle, and on no other ground. He said he would not favor a bill actually placing a Morgan raider upon the pension roll, but he would give the man an opportunity to mak his proof at the Pension Office. It was like referring a case to the Court of Claims for adjudication. Not being regularly enlisted, the man could not set up a claim for a pension under his present status. When a vote was called on the adoption of the bill the yeas were 50 and the nays 4. The point that there was no quorum present was made, and of coure the bill failed. On the side, during the discussion, a statement was made that but one man was actually injured by a gunshot among all or those who enlisted to fight the - Morpn raiders, and that man was David Gooding, of Hancock county. Gooding's injury was received In an accidental encounter between the Legion forces. It was believed on the floor of the House that the Washington Hislop, in whose behalf the bill was introduced, was the same man who served under Cleveland's first administration as postmaster at Marengo, Dubois county. FARCICAL CONTESTS. Democrat Will Sent n Democrat Jfo Matter What the Evidence. WASHINGTON, March IS. As soon as the sundry civil appropriation bill Is disposed of. which will probably be done tomorrow night, the House will take up the fcur contested election cases which are perding the O'Neill-Joy case from the Eleventh Missouri district, the WilliamsSettle case from the Fifth Carolina, the Ei'gllsh-Hllborn case from the Third California, and the Whatley-Cobb case from the Fifth Alabama. The O'Neill-Joy and Kn-gllsh-Hllborn cases, which were both decided against the sitting members (Republicans) by strict party votes in the committee on elections, are the most Important and will require the major portion of the time. In both cases the result of the election in November, 1S32, was exceedingly close. There were two counts in the O'NelllJoy election, the recount giving Joy (Republican) 67 plurality. O'Neill being beaten on the face of the returns, he Instituted the contest on the ground that the Missouri eleotlon law had not been complied with. It havinr been shown that some of the Joy ballots had not been numbered and Initialed as required by that law. Ths case before the committee hinged on the determination of the question as to whether the Missouri election law In this particular should be regarded as mandatory or simply directory. The members of the committee wavered for some time, but finally d?cided by a strict party vote that the law was mandatory and that its technicalities had not been observed. This decision gave the beat to O'Neill (Dem.) In the Engllsh-Hllborn can the rtu!t was also very close, Knglisn receiving- 13, lit) on the face of the returns, ajrairust Hllborn's 13.160. English's contest rested on the claim that In one precinct the returns had been manipulated beyond doubt and his attorneys charged that while Hilborn was not responsible for, he had been the beneficiary by that manipulation. At the close of the case HUborn s attorneys claimed his election by one vote, but the Democrats of the committee decided In favor of English. In the Williams-Settle case the contest alleged that the sitting member had been elected by bulldozing and intimidation of negro voters by the Republicans, but most of the Democrats of the committee refused to sustain his contention. Mr. Woodward (Dem., N. C.) .however dissented from the decision of his colleagues. In the Whatley-Cobb case the committee unanimously deckled against the contestant, who was a Populist, and his case can have no standing in the House whatever. If the contested election case3 are disposed of this week, which is hardly probable, and the Republicans will doubtlosa insist on the pressure of a Democratic quorum to unseat their colleagues, the House will proceed with the consideration of either the Military Academy or consular and diplomatic appropriation bills. The present week, so far as the culerdar reveals, will be devoted by the Senate to loutine business cf no general interest. There will b an effort to dispose of the government printing site, the Russian thUtle appropriation and the McGarrahan bill, and of a large number of special bills on the calendar. $ A SLOW-C.OIXCJ MACIIIXE.

Pro;? rum in e fr the Supreme Court Soon to Moot in Full Ueiich. WASHINGTON, March 18. By the appointment, of Senator White, of Louisiana, to be Associate Justice, the Supreme Court has once more Its legal quota of justices, and the court will soon take up and hear arguments in thoso cases which it has been decided shall be heard before a full bench. There are enough of these cases to occupy the attention of the court for more than a month, and the present expectation is that April will be consumed in that way. All depends, however, on the condition of Justice Jackson, who is now in the South recuperating his health, but It is believed that he will have recovered sufficiently to be able to take his seat on the 2d of April, or possibiy a week earlier, as the reports which have been received from him lately have been favorable. The court has set the Indiana tax cases for hearing before a full bench on March 2j. though it is said to be probable that the arguments in the case will be heard whether or not Justice Jackson is here, it being the desire of those interested to have the case disposed of. Among the lmjortant cases assigned by the court for hearing before a full bench on the 2d of April are the following: Involving the constitutionality of the Texas railroad laws; oleomargarine cases from Massachusetts: a reargument of the case of Constable et al. vs. the National Steamship Company, limited, which has been pending for a long time: a reargument of the case of Hilton vs. Guiot. Involving the question of foreign judgments: Rarden vs. the Northern Pacific. Railroad Company, and railroad cases from Montana. The cases assigned for hearing on April 9 Include the following: The Interstatecommerce Commission against Urlmfon, from the Northern district of Illinois. exSenator Edmunds appearing in this case as the special counsel for the commission; the United States vs. the Transmlssouri Freight Association, from the Circuit Court of Appeals of the Highth district, and the United States, appellant, vs. the Western Union Telegraph Company and the Union Pacific company. There are upwards of twenty more cases awaiting argument before a full bench, but up to this time no steps have been taken to assign them for hearing. COMiUESSIONAL TEMPERANCE.

OWENSBORO, Ky., March lS.-John Kopp. a wealthy stockman, lost a splendidly equipped stock barn and valuable race horses by fire to-day. Lightning struck the barn, on which there were five lightning rods. The building and contents were in ashes in thirty minutes. The stud wt.s made up of the following fine stock: II. W. Miller's pacing mare Carrie M., valued at $o.000; Scherrer & Hoffendorfer's trotting stallion Don Carbeau, valued at $3,000, together with the following horses of John Kopp's: blooded stallion Heidelberg, $5.(K; Blue Grass stallion Prlnceptlon, $5,00); stallion Rivers, $1,000; brood mares Nancy Lee and Lena Rivers, $1,000 each: Ruby, $800; stallions Diamond and Paragon, $300 and $4(X. In addition to this six hundre-d dollars' worth of colts and work horses were burned. The feed barn adjoining was filled with grain, harness and stable tools. The barn cost about $2,000, only a fewmonths since. The loss is over $30,000, with no insurance except on the pacing mare. Denver Union Station Ilurned. DENVER. Col., March 18. The handsome union station at the foot of Seventeenth street, covering two blocks, from Sixteenth street to Eighteenth street, was burned In the early hours this morning. The fire started in the attic of the west wing from the electric wires, and at the very moment when It seemed that the blaze would be confined to that wing flames broke out at the tower of the main structure. Only the east wing and the stone walls are left. Nearly all the baggage was saved, but important papers and records were destroyed. The building was owned by the Union Depot Company, one-fifth of the stock in which Is owned by the Denver & Rio Grande and four-fifths by the Union Pacific. The loss is estimated at $225,000; insured for $125,000. Other LiOmncs. BROOKLYN. N. Y.. March 18.

Trifles, like glossy hair, white teeth, well-kept hands, a smooth skin, redolent of health, sweet breath, fresh linen and spotless garments, go a long way towards making up the sum of personal attractiveness. All clean people are charming, but charming people are never more charming than when they are radiant with good grooming. It Is some expense, but a great deal of trouble to be habitually and exquisitely neat. It pays, though, immensely. Did He Look Like Itf Vogue.

PERU, Ind., March IS. The mystery surrounding the many Incendiary fires in this city the past month was solved last night after midnight by the arrest of two young men, William Koob, aged twenty-two, and John Gould, aged twenty. Both are sons of well-known people. About It) o'clock another fire occurred, by which the barn of Joseph Ruffert was destroyed. The pent-up Indignation burst forth and five hundred people started out to discover the incendiaries. They were caught about midnight by two special policemen. The boys showed fight; and, flourishing large revolvers, eluded the ofilcers for a time, but were found several hours afterward" hldinar among the freight cars. Both confessed to setting fire to all the buildings burned, and a hearing will be held Monday. It is thought that there 13 a regular ganc. all of whom will probably be arrestee before morning.

Reported thnt Janon Ilrovrn la Looking for n Soft Place to Fall. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SEYMOUR, Ind., March 18. The fight which is going on among the Democrats in the Third district over the nomination for Congressman is furnishing political ammunition for the Republicans. The contestants for the place are: Jason B. Brown, the present Incumbent, who resides in this city; S. M. Stockslager, of Corydon, and James K. Marsh, of Jeffersonvllle. At the primaries held so far the contest is about even between Brown and Stockslager. Marsh, It is claimed, is only kept in the race to draw votes from Stockslager and help Brown. Both contestants claim that they will receive the nomination. The charges of attempted bribery which were brought against Brown at New Albany have materially decreased his chances, and a close friend of the Congressman said to-day that Brown, fearing defeat, had made arrangements before leaving for Washington, last Monday, to become a candidate for Judge of this judicial district. The district is composed of Jaekson, Orange and Washington counties. There is no doubt that, should Brown be defeated for renomlns tion, he can have the nomination for Judge. This district has heretofore been Democratic by over three thousand majority, but the Republicans believe that they can elect a Congressman this fall. So far no one has announced himself a candidate, but a number of names have been mentioned as probable candidates, among whom are Hen. O. H. Montgomery, of this city, and Capt. M. M. Hurley, of New Albany. Flmt Blood for TnndtH. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MONTICELLO. Ind., March 18. The Republican congressional contest In the Tenth district gives promise of being a very spirited one. The principal candidates are Charles B. Landls, editor of the Delphi Journal, and Judge William Johnston, of Valparaiso. William R. Wood, of Lafayette, as well as Frank Swigart, of Logansport, are candidates, but there seems to be less activity in their behalf. Hon. Geo. Holman, of Rochester, and Judge Gould, of Delphi, have both been mentioned, but both have said they are not candidates, and it Is understood they favor Landls's nomination. The first test of strength of the various candidates occurred yesterday in White county, which wa3 the first to select its delegates. Information received here is to the effect that ever" township was hotly contested, and thnt the Landls men secured a solid delegation. The fact that this was the first county to select delegates and that both sides had been claiming the county with equal assurance makes the result of special interest. Judge Johnston was the nominee two years agro. Iundis has the reputation of being a hard fighter, and his paper is one of the most influential in the State. He is also the president of the Indiana Republican Editorial Association, and is prominent in the councils of his party. Democratic Split ut El wood. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ELWOOD.

The funeral of Edward Single, who died suddenly on Friday, was held to-day, and was attended by unusual features. Single was a member of the Order of Red Men, and had been baptized in the Catholic Church when young. He was not a strict Catholic. Ills family insisted on having the funeral services conducted at the church. This prevented the secret order from attending in the usual manner. There are nearly one thousand Red Men in Muncie, and a majority of them donned their regalia to attend the funeral, but when they were informed that they could not enter the church in a body or wear their emblems in church many refused to participate at all, and only about two hundred fell In line. They ma relied to the church, but did not enter. The rules of the church would not admit any other manner of proceedings. The funeral was not conducted according to the Red Men's ritual, and many say the lodrre should in no wav have participated. The church authorities made one concession by conrentinsj to permit the lodge to take the remains from the residence to the church.

Hoot CuttlagTM. Massachusetts Plowman. ' The months of February and March and th Hnt half of April are best for rooting ciiltir.ga of many florists' p'ants. such as carnations, roses, chrysanthemums, coleus, verbenas, etc. At this 5e.Fon the sun is not high enough to mike the regulation of temperature under glass difficult, and the plants are now easily multiplied in season for spring sales or for planting out for next winter's llowering. The rooting of cuttings appears to many as a wonderful and mysterious process. This Is simply because it is a little out of the ordinary course cf vegetable life. It is In reality no more mysterious than the ger

mination of seeds or any of the familiar forms of vegetable life at which we have ceased to wonder because they are common. A cutting may bo regarded as a plant deprtved of its roots, and while engaged in the process of replacing them it must be kept moist and at the temperature congenial to Its healthy growth. A little diffused light 13 needed, but the glare of the noonday sun will cause most cuttings to wilt and die. Hence it is usual to construct the cutting bench on the north side of the greenhouse, and partition it off from the other side in order to keep the air more close and damp than is needed for the growth of the established plants, which delight in full sunshine and plenty of air. The best material in which to plant the cuttings is rather coarse, clean sand, or the porous fibre of the cocoanut. The object is to keep the cuttings damp, with some access of air to their lower ends through the porous nature of the sand and fibre. The cutting bench should be watered dally, in order to keep It moist, and the temperature must be carefully adjusted to the nature of the plants to be rooted; thus the hardy roses, verbenas and carnations root best in a temperature of 50 degrees to 55 degrees, while the cuttings of coleus, tea roses, fuchsias and many other tropical plants do better in a temperr.ture of 10 degrees or more higher. It is better to have the temperature of the sand 5 degrees or more warmer than the air above the bed In order to stimulate the growth of the roots. This bottom heat, as gardeners call it, is obtained by carrying hot-water or steam pipes under the bed and inclosing them with sheathing boards; or where a cheaper temporary bed is wanted, by a "heat" of fermenting horse manure, six to ten Inches deep, covered with an Inch of dry leaves, on which six inches of sand is placed. This "heat" will cause a temperature of 90 degrees to 1U0 degrees at first, gradually sudsldlng to 70 degrees and less, and needs watching at first to avoid roasting the cuttings. Where a small bed is wt-nted for cuttings in a common greenhouse where the air Is too do It can be obtained by covering a box of sand with movable sashes or panes of glass, and if the temperature of the house is too cool the box of sand can be warmed by placing a lamp under it with suitable precautions against fire.
