Took Prisoner from Jnll to Vote nt Ilrnsll Election. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BRAZIL, Ind., May 3. Sheriff Ringo, of this county, has killed his chances for reelection and will be fortunate if he escapes the clutches of the law. On election day he took Patrick and Barney Toole, two no torious characters, serving a. sentence in the jail for a brutal assault on their moth er, to the polls to vote. As it is well known that prisoners serving a prison sentence are disfranchised the act becomes a felony. Some of the attorneys claim Ringo Is an accessory to the felony, while others claim he is a principal. It Is claimed that the sheriff will be vigorously prosecuted. The action on the part of the sheriff is universally condemned. The Toole boys sometime since became Intoxicated and en deavored to assassinate their aged mother. when Joseph IJondhlll Interfered and was badly cut. For this the prisoners who were taken to the polls to vote by Ringo were serving sentence. CROWDS AT RICHMOND To Wltners the Masonic Temple Cor- . nerntone Laying:.

SENATORS DENOUNCED

Too Slow with the Tariff Bill to Please New Yorkers. Stormy Meeting at Cooper Union Coudert and Carter Raise Storms of Hisses An Old Man Thrust Out. . NEW YORK, May 3. A mass meeting was held In Cooper Union to-night to pro test against the dilatoriness of the Senate In peussing upon the Wilson bill. AU was not liarmony at the meeting, and the income tax question was what marked the dividing of the ways. The storm broke when Frederick R. Coudert took Issue with James C. Carter and roundly denounced the Income-tax measure as bad, dishonest and undemocratic. One-half of the crowd hissed and interrupted this expression of opinion, the other cheered and applauded and hurled back the epithets applied to Mr. Coudert by his opponents from the body of the hall. An old man Jumped up, shook his fist at Mr. Coudert on the platform and shouted: "We were paying the taxes while you people were robbing us." At this point there, was tumult. A chorus of "Put him out" burst forth, and everyone Jumped. Half a dozen policemen rushed up and seized the old man, carrying him to the rear of the hall. Confusion reigned for some minutes. Finally Mr. Coudert put everyone in good humor by Faying that, bad as the Income taxe was, he was willing to swallow it for the sake of the tariff re duction. The meeting1 had been called by repre sentatives of forty-two business houses of the city. Ex-Secretary of the Treasury Charles & Falrchild called the meeting to order and denounced the Senators responsi ble for the delay of action on the tariff bill. He thought the Income tax an unwise measure, but there were many things worse than it, one of which was to have no Income at all. which was what the present delay would lead to. James C. Carter delivered the principal speech of the evening. He defended the income tax as the most Just and equitable form of taxation. There were manifestations of approval and disapproval when he said this, a foreboding of the tumult that broke forth later when Mr. Coudert took the opposite stand to Mr. Carter. Mr. Carter also denounced Senators Hill and Mur phy for their attitude toward the Wilson bill. This seemed to please the larg? audi ence hugely. Mr. Falrchild introduced Oscar S. Straus, ex-minister to Turkey, who said: "The Senate of the United States for the past three months has done more to discredit the government of the people of this country than all other circumstances combined which have confronted the Nation in the beginning. While hunger, misery and starvation are in the land and a million wage earners are out of employment the Senators abuse their functions and their privileges to obstruct legislation and delay the decision upon which depends the necessaries of life to hundreds of thousands of men, women and children." Then he pitched into Senator Hill and said: "The day has passed away when a man can parade as a patriot and fling his principles to the wind and then shout T am a Democrat.' The triumph of such men would be an Infamy to the party." Resolutions In substance as follows wers passed: That we should prefer a more consistent and courageous measure of tariff reform than is now pending; but we urge that it be passed to a find vote so that we may b: relieved from the extortions and opnies.sions of the McKImey tariff. "That wl ile we are opposed to the income tax pnnisions, we are more opposed to the existing system of tariff taxations, which casts on the working classes nine-tenths of the burden of taxation and extorts from them an encrmous tribute for the benefit ot the few. "That while we desire the income tax clause be stricken out, we deem Its retention no excuse for the vote of any Democrat against the bill as a whole, and demand that every Democratic Senator and Representative vote for the repeal of the McKInley law. . "That the defeat of the bill by Democratic votes would be disastrous to the Nation and an act of treason to the Democratic party.' TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. i Senator Stockbridge's funeral took place at Kalamazoo, Mich., yesterday. Filson, Ky., Is alleged to have a suicide club. Joel Gay Is the second young man to take his own life in that village within a month. Orange, Mass., has a mystery in the disappearance of Mrs. Harriet Robinson Wooten, who has been missing nine days. Suicide Is feared.

Advices from all parts of Washington and Oregon state that a heavy frost prevailed Wednesday night and that great damage has been done to the fruit crop. All the gamblers, forced by Denver's reorganized police department to abandon business In that city, are locating across the river in Colfax, where they are assured of protection. Bob Ferguson, the old-time ball player and National League umpire, died last night of apoplexy at his home in Brooklyn, N. Y aged forty-eight. He leaves a wife and family in good circumstances. As a result of the trouble between the Rev.

The grand Jury at New Tork has refused to indict Joseph T. Magee, who Is under arrest for the alleged shooting of Martha Fuller, the typewriter who was found dead in lawyer Mullen's office on Nassau street, March 17. Ttie Modern Girl find the Sinn of tbe Moment. Sarah Grand, in North American Review. From the modern glri's point of view the man of the moment Is not of much account. The instinct of natural selection which inclined her first of all to set him aside, for his fiabbiness, Is strengthened now by her knowledge of his character. She knows him much better than her parents do, and in proportion as she know3 him she finds less and less reason to respect him, Tne girls discuss him with each other and with ths younger married women, ami out of their discussions is arising a Strang distaste for him. "I'm r-ot going to marry a man I can t respect. 1 shan t marry unless I find a man of honor -with no horrid past," and "Don't offer me the mutilated remains of a man," coupled with the names of Tom Jones and Roderick Random, are th3 commonest expressions of it. And it is vain for the man of the moment when he marries to hope to conceal the consequences of the past from his wife by assuming a highly refined objection to "allowing" her to read any book that would cpen her eyes. Manners of the new woman are perfect. She is never aggressive, never argumentative, but she understands the art of self-defensa, and reads what she pleases. Wcmnn'i Self Respect. Washington Post An observing, philanthropic woman established the fact that as long as a woman has hope she has a hat. When she loses the former she wears a shawl over her head. Immediately upon trying to recall the selfrespect of a woman she gives her a good hat, and she claims never to have failed In restoring at least a little of the woman lines. So you see that the importance of a hat Is frequently as great as the size of the bill for it. Fate of a Drondiuinght. MANCHESTER. Mass.. May 3. M. E.

The miners were surprised when the troops arrived, but have conducted themselves peaceably all day, with the exception of hooting the militiamen as they formed in line. Sheriff Sharvy endeavored to get the -trouble at the Franklin mine settled by arbitration tonight, but the effort was unsuccessful. An attempt will be made to resume work at this mine In the morning, and trouble Is in eight.

Stormy Meeting of Musicians. BALTIMORE. Md., May 3. An animated and somewhat stormy debate was In progress all day in the council of the National League of Musicians. The question under discussion Is that of "universal membership." The question was brought before the convention in the shape of a resolution presented by the committee on law and supervision. The resolution provides for an amendment to Section 10 of the by-laws. This section provides that a member of any local union of the league shall be entitled to become an associate member of any other local union to which he may apply, upon condition that he present a certificate from the secretary of his local union and pay an admission fee of 55. The question has not yet been settled. Tronble In the Coke Region. CONNELLSVILLE, Pa., May 3. The coke strikers made an assault on the Fort Hill plant to-day and forced the workmen to flee for their lives. In the melee a number of the men were badly beaten, Tho plant is now closed down. The capture of the Moorwood dynamiters last night and the attack on Fort Hill has caused the greatest excitement, and the feeling of unrest is more pronounced than at any time since the last strike began. Mobs are marching through the country and raids are feared at several points. The women made an attack on the Davidson works, but left dlserusted when they found but one man at work.

Congressman Uynum. of Indianapolis, has fallen afoul of Senator Voorhees, of Indiana, all on account of the latter's Insistence of ad valorem duties. Voorhees has followed Senator Mills In advocating these duties, which are for the benefit of dishonest importers. Bynum. who is a candidate for the seat now held by Voorhees, argues that Democratic statesmen in the past have .condemned ad valorem duties, and have held that In every possible cae specific duties should be imposed. Mr. Bynum is correct, but It is useless for him to engage in a controversy with Senator Voorhees for the seat now held by the latter. That will be taken by a Republican. Sees One tlood Effect. New York Evening Post (Muf.) One good effect of the R -publican Victories in recent elections ha been to put a quietus on the scheme for rushing a lot of new Territories Into the Union as States. A year ago the Democrats thought they could count upon Senators and Representatives for their party from such States in 1SIM and Democratic electoral votes In ISM, but now they are afraid that the Republicans-might get the advantage. Every public interest will be subserved by the policy of delay in this matter which the Democrats have concluded to adopt. Good for Their Glscards. Grant's Pass Courier.
