Cooper's Crowd Makes More Enemies at the Nashville Convention Brookshire Will Take No Chances. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MONTFELIEtt, Ind., May 3.-The Democratic judicial convention held In this city to-day ended. In creating considerable bad blood between Blackford and Wills counties, which form the Twenty-eighth district. The nomination of Judge was given to Wells county with the understanding that Blackford was to name the candidate for prosecutor. Aaron Waltz, a prominent young attorney, of Hartford City, was decided on in the Blackford county caucus, J. A. Hlndwan, the present prosecutor, being defeated by one in the caucus nomination. When the convention convened, at 2 o'clock, E. C. Vaughn, the present Judge, was nominated by acclamation, but when the counties were called for prosecutor nominations the chairman of the Blackford county delegates cast its full vote for Waltx, which was objected to by one of its delegates. This was a signal for an uprising of Hindman's friends. All votes of the caucus were thrown aside, and a new vote was taken, in which Hindman was successful. Prominent Blackford county Democrats now predict defeat for the ticket. . Xot a Democratic Victory. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. NORTH VERNON. Ind., May 3.-The city election, while it resulted in the defeat of W. S. Prather, the Republican candidate for Mayor, was not a Democratic victory by any means. The Republican candidate for city marshal was elected by 133 majority, which represents the real party strength. Guy L. Tripp, the Republican councilman In the First ward, was elected by eighty-two majority, and the Republican candidates for city clerk and city treasurer were both elected by handtome majorities. The vote on Mayor turned entirely upon personal matters and was in no way connected with partisanship. The Republican candidate was badly handicapped by being a candidate for a fourth successive term, and had unfortunately become embroiled in a factional quarrel with part of the Republican leaders, matters! which finally culminated in his defeat by a mall majority. The Republicans of this rlty and county are active and wide awake on State and national issues and will go Into the fall campaign determined to poll their full vote. It AVna n. Cooper Victory. Special to the Indianapolis Journal COLUMBUS, Ind., May '3. There was a hard fight between the Cooper and antiCooper forces at Nashville to-day, the occasion being the Joint Senator and Judicial conventions for the Ninth Judicial circuit. The hand of Cooper showed up strongly, and, in consequence of this fact, the Cooper forces here are Jubilant to-night and have taken on new courage. William Shea, of Uds city, was nominated for State's attorney and John W Cravens, of Monroe county, for Joint Senator. The "other fellows" who were left out are very hot and there is trouble ahead. llrookahlre Is Tricky. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., May 3. The Democratic committee of this congressional , district met here to-day and fixed the place for the convention at Covington, Fountain county, and July 23 as the date. The significance in selecting Covington lies in the fact that it is the most Inconvenient place Df access for Terre Haute people. The Terre Haute Democrats of the Lamb following, while not openly opposing Brookshire's renomination, are riot, his friends. Two Convention.

MR. GLADSTONE TALKS

He Eulogizes the Late Sir Andrew Clark, a Famous Physician. Tlie Ex-Preraiei Not Full' Recovered from IU3 Kecent Cold Italy's Bank Scandah Gossip from Samoa. LONDON, May 3. Mr. Gladstone, the Duke : of Cambridge, Cardinal Vaughn and other notabilities were present at a meeting, to-day at Prince's Hall, called for the purjose of arranging for the erection of a memorial In honor of the late Sir Andrew Clark, the famous physician, who counted among his distinguished patients Mr. Gladstone and Queen Victoria. The ex-premler received an ovation. It was evident that he had not quite recovered from his cold, and he was compelled to remain seated as he moved that a memorial be established in order to perpetuate Sir Andrew Clark's name and work. Mr. Gladstone eulogized the deceased physician, saying that It would have been a standing grief and mortification to him if he had beer prevented taking part in the meeting. He had known many distinguished physicians during his three score years, and had seen a great change In their capacity, attainment and competency to deal with the difficult and almost insolvable problems which were constantly pressing themselves upon the minds of the members of the medical profession. In conclusion Mr. Gladstone said that Sir Andrew Clark loved his profession with chivalrous devotion. Mr. Gladstone's motion was carried, and It was als decided to erect a wing to a London hospital, the new wing to bear the name of Sir Andrew Clark. ITALY'S niG SCANDAL. Trial of Directors and Officers of the Banco Ilomnna Begun. ROME, May 3. The trial of the directors and officers of the Banco Romana began yesterday In the Court of Assizes. It involves not only officers of the bank but politicians whose standing, prior to the flight of director Cuclnlello with 2,500,000 lire belonging to the Rome branch of the Bank of Naples was very high. The investigation last year of the affairs of the Bank of Naples showed a deficit of 3,000,000 lire in the account of its Rome branch, the sum having been paid out in the course of several years without any other than political consideration. The investigation, which covered all the banks, showed the utmost confusion In other institutions. The cash deficit of the Banco Romana was 28,600,000 lire and the Illegal notes of that bank's issue, since 1883, had reached 64,500000 lire. A large part of this money is said to have been given to prominent politicians in order to secure their election and support. Signor Tan Ion go, governor of the Banco Romana; Cesare Lazzaronl, the cashier of the bank; Signor Monzillo Zamraarano, and three others, were arrested In connection with these disclosures, but Lazzaronl, Tanlongo and others were acquitted. The scandal resulted in the appointment of an official commission to investigate the whole subject. This commission reported last November, inculpating Pletro Lacava, Minister of Commerce, and the following Deputies: Pietro Delbecchlo, a close friend of ex-Premier Glollttl; Fillppo Cavallinl, Duke Gennaro Di San Donato; Augusto Ella, Baron Giovanni Nicotera, Minister of the Interior under Crlspi; Signor Bruno Chlmirri, ex-Minlster of Agriculture and of Justice, and a number of others. The prosecution of the directors and officers of the Banco Romana was then ordered. The hearing will last several days. AFFAIRS IX HAWAII. Two Vlevrs of Admiral "Walker's Mission IloyallMts Quarreling. SAN FRANCISCO, May 3. The Chronicle prints the following Honolulu correspondence, under date of April 13, received via Port Townsend by the United States steamship Adams: "Neva of the appointment of Admiral Walker to succeed Admiral -Irwin, and the announcement of the intent of the United States to take possession of Pearl harbor and establish a coaling and naval station, received here on the 10th by vessel, followed by the arrival of Admiral Walker two days later, has set the populace to talking, and many conjectures are being made as to the result of the Admiral's appointment and instructions. The royalist papers declare that the Admiral comes tor the purpose of taking possession of Pearl harbor, and that as soon as It is accomplished he will proceed to organize a new government. They even go po far as to saj' that Admiral Walker will restore the ex-Queen to the throne. The provisional government and annexation press construed Admiral Walker's appointment and presence to mean that the United States has had a change of heart, and that the government, in assuming control of Pearl harbor, sets at rest all doubt as to the course of the United States toward Hawaii and ultimate annexation. This view is based on reports and advices received from the Hawaiian minister at Washington. Thus far Admiral Walker has not given out what he is to do. "There is a serious split in the ranks of the royalist party through the efforts of the, number desiring to pose as leaders. They expect to receive information from their agent in the United States by the next steamer as to the hope of restoring the Queen. If the reply is in the negative, it is anticipated that the party will rush into politics and endeavor to l?ave all members of the constitutional convention elect ed with a material change in the oath of allegiance. Delegates from nearly all the districts in the Islands have been nominated, and matters in conection with the constitutional convention are running smoothly. There is not the least excitement prevalent in the islands." Nine Villages Destroyed. ATHENS, May 2.-U is learned that during, the earthquake shocks of Friday last nine villages in the island of Euboea were destroyed. The distress in the districts which suffered by the recent earth disturbances increases, and there is urgent need for bread and flour and materials for build ing huts. There have been numerous curious results of the earthquakes. In Aidipao fully a hundred fresh springs have been opened, the water coming from them ranirimr from 115 to ISO decrees Fahrenheit. In Lokris an immense chasm, extir.dintr a distance of fifty kilometres, from Laryan to the Cynean promontory, has appeared, and numerous subsidences of portions of the coast have occurred. Rlmuirck Spenkn to n, Deputation. FRIEDRICHSRUHE, May 3. A deputa tion consisting of five hundred representatives from fifteen military clubs -of south ern Holstein presented Prince Bismarck to-day with an address of sympathy. Prince Bismarck replied, thanking his visitors for calling upon him" and comparing the present peaceful relations existing between Holstein and Germany to those of the past. The ex-Chancellor added that he was unable to understand the contention of his opponents that he aspired to rank and titles. He had not heard that any ovations such as those he had been the recipient of since his retirement from public life had ever previously occurred. A Murderous Anarchist. LONDON, May 3. The trial of Farnaro and Polti, the foreign Anarchists recently arrested in thlsclty, was commenced this morning at the "bid Bailey, before Justice Hawkins. Farnaro. when asked the usual questions as to his guilt or innocence, replied in Italian: "Guilty. 1 wanted to kill some capitalists." Polti, in reply to the same question, answered in English that he was not guilty. A moment later Farnaro added, with emphasis: "Yes, I am guilty. I intended to blow up some capitalists and bourgeois." Wounded Iy n Ilomb. LIEGE, May 3. A bomb was exploded tonight at the residence of Dr. Renson, In the Rue de la Palx.

THE MAY MUSIC FESTIVAL. Progress of the Sale of Seats for This Event. The advance sale of season tickets for the May music festival is now in progress at the Big Four ticket office, No. 1 East Washington street. It began yesterday morning, with a steady demand throughout the day, and will continue to-day and tomorrow. A comparatively small portion of the patrons of the festival buy season tickets, but this year the average is greater than in previous years, a condition of affairs that the directors regard as unusually encouraging. There Is every reason to expect an enormously large sale of seats for single concerts when it opens next Monday morning, and arrangements are being made to wait on would-be purchasers of seats expeditiously. M. Henri Marteau, the celebrated young French violinist, who is to be one of the attractions of the festival, celebrated his twentieth birthday at Chicago Monday, and was the recipient of many social attentions. He gave a special concert in the evening at the Auditorium, which was enjoyed by a great audience. The Inter Ocean of yesterday says of his playing: "Mr. Marteau has so much of the artistic temperament in his nature, and is so highly gifted and well schooled that any playing of his is always sure to give pleasure. He is an intellectual player in the true sense of the word, and stands on an eminence of superiority to-day, although not yet of age. Since he was first heard here he has improved so steadily and noticeably that there is every hope that when he reaches full manhood he will stand preeminent among the great violinists of his time." Tarker-McAfee Trial Testimony. .Bert Metcalf, one of the official stenographers of Marlon county, was summoned to Franklin, last night, by the attorney for Parker and McAfee. The defense expects to compare the recent testimony of John Venables, Albert Lay ton and Mrs. Eyster with the statements made bv them during the first trial of the case.

The Senior Indiana Senator Not in Good Physical Condition. Correspondence Philadelphia Record. Chairman Voorhees will not be sixtyseven until next September, but he has worked so hard and so intensely ail of his life, and with so much disregard of the laws of health that he has aged greatly during the last few years, passing tnrough one illness after another, the grip havlnir made him one of Its first victims, and hav ing brought out all of the weak spots in his system. He has grown gray, although his big head, the largest in the Senate, has a good deal or red still in its heavy thatch, and he has grown nervous, so that his hand shakes tremulously when he ges ticulates. , His arduous experience during the extra session, when he was constantly between two fires on the floor of the Senate, and in the country, when he lost friends of a lifetime, and when he was under a physi cal as well as a mental strain which younger and stronger men have seldom had to endure, told upon him in many ways, but most of all In his oratory. Tlie sneerh which he read at the beginning of the tariff debate was not like the speeches which he used to deliver, although those who heard him for the first time thought him a fiery and forcible speaker. With rest and care he may regain his former vigor, great as that was, but if he had undertaken to personally conduct the Wilson tariff bill, as he did the Wilson silver repeal bill, he would have broken down before he succeeded in passinc It He has done well to obey his physician. hard as it must have been for him to give up the opportunity of a lifetime to distinguish himself In actively advancing the tariff reform cause, which has become so dear to him. He may be rewarded for his prudence by being allowed to take a more active part later on, but for the present he has to content himself with a general direction, leaving the details to his lieutenants. Senator Voorhees has a big heart, as well as a big head and a big body. His manner, sometimes so brusque and blustering, misrepresents his kindly and generous spirit. Ills sympathies are as quick as a woman's. He would do anything to relieve distress or to oblige a friend. Coming: Press Club Entertainment. Louisville Courier-Journal. Mr. Douglass Sherley is announced as one of the attractions of a Press Club entertainment given on the 9th. at Indianapolis, for the benefit of Daniel L. Paine, a veteran newspaper man of that city, who has had progressive paralysis for a number of years, and has recently suffered the loss of a devoted wife under peculiarly painful conditions. Mr. Paine has been a striking figure in Indianapolis newspaper life for many years, and is probably the best beloved member of a large Journalistic circle. Young and old scribblers, struggles and successful ones, have always found in him a cheery and a genial companion. A woman once dedicated a book to him as "The only man I ever knew who was good enough to be a woman," and this well-meant tribute exposed the subject to much jesting, and even a satirical poem from the pen of another veteran, who was not gifted with any such feminine recommendations. In one of James Whltcomb Riley's volumes appears a graceful and tender poem addressed "Dan Paine," and Mr. Riley will' participate in the benefit performance. Several years ago Mr. Paine was introduced by a brother pcribe to a small-sized celebrity who was visiting the city, with the words: "Mr. Daniel Lancaster Paine, the Nestor of Indianapolis journalism." The celebrity appeared much impressed, eyed Mr. Paine curiou&iy, and, as he clasped hands with him, remarked admiringly: "Is it so. Mr. Paine? Are you really the nest egg of Indianapolis journalism?

DEFEAT OF COFFEY

s The Chairman of the County Officers' Association Explains. The Origin of the Auti-Coffey Circular 5,000 Copies Were Printed, but They Were 'ot Circulated. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: I request that you give the County Officers' Association of the State of Indiana space in your paper to at least refute part of the charges made against said organization for the defeat of Judge S. D. Coffey for renomination to the Supreme Bench of Indiana, and I deem it proper to relate the history of our actions in the case. After the decision of the Supreme Court had been published in the case of J. W. Stout vs. Henderson I called a meeting of the county officers to assemble at Indianapolis on Feb. 7, 1S34, to consult and determine on a Una of action. The only conclusion arrived at was to bring additional suits In behalf of the auditors, treasurers and recorders, as the Supreme Court, in Its finding In the Stout case, declined to decide their case upon the claim of J. , W. Stout, then pending befcre said court, and we further decided to ask for a rehearing of the Stout case. As soon as we adjourned some papers of your city raised the clamor that we had decided at that meeting to organize to defeat Judge Coffey and to organize the Legislature In our behalf. These charges were absolutely Incorrect, but their publication had its effect upon the masses, for, in making a personal canvass of the State to raise funds necessary to bring the above suits, the question was frequently asked if the charges made in the papers were true, which I and all other members of the executive commitAbout the middle of March I again called the committee together at the Grand Hotel, and. following our adjournment, the same charges were made against our association by the same papers that we intended to defeat Judge Coffey and organize the Legislature and the papers concluded with the maxim "forewarned is to be forearmed," which was as false as the former charge. At every turn we encountered the above charges, to which we could only enter our denial. We never decided as charged, and, furthermore, such action was never advocated by us. Under date of April 4, 1891, one day before the publication of the Clay County Enterprise, of which issue I have a copy of April 5, 1894, I received a letter from brazil, the home of Judge CofTey, which, in part, read as follows: "1 will send you a par-er to-morrow or next day, the Clay County Enterprise, the only reliable Republican paper of this county, and the editor is O. K. against one S. D. Coffey with two other men of this city. We think we have eight or twelve delegates out of this county, with 100 or 300 of the leading Republicans of Brazil against him. I wish you would meet me at IndianaDOlis within the next few days." . I answered this letter, telling the writer that the committee would meet the following Monday at the Orand Hotel. The writer of the Jirazu letter met us; aiso, the son of the editor of the Clay County Enterprise, who claimed he was connected with the paper. He furnished us with a cov of their natter of April 5. 1S94. In which the only charges I heard of were printed against Judge S. D. Coffey. Young Mr. Worn inrormed us tnat ne sent copies of said paper, properly marked, to every reliable paper in the State, and had sent a nroneriv marked cony of said paper to every candidate upon the Republican State ticket, and also quite a number to other nersons throughout the State, lie iurtnermore stated that it was a fight to the death on the part of their paper against Judge Coffey. I then authorized him to mint five thousand circulars, and to send every one printed to me. In due time i received th? five thousand circulars: the total number distributed by me did not exceed fifteen, which I sent only to the other members of our executive com mittee for advice and disposition, it was the unanimous decision or the committee not to enter Into the Clay county fight. The remainder of the circulars have been left In possession of the Republican State central committee to confirm my statement as to the distribution of the circulars, un Monday, April 23, preceding the Republican State convention of April 25, the editor of .the Clay County Enterprise called on me at my room at the Denison House, and I ial 1 him S15 for five thousand circulars. and told him I still had the circulars. He was very bitter against Judge coney, and approved the charges as made by nis son. On the same evening I was introduced to Judge Coffey, and was very pleasantly entertained. I asktd him if he had author ized anyone in his behalf to make the statement that, as a member of the majority of the court in the case of Stout vs. Henderson, that their opinion in that case would be their decision in any case we might bring before the bench, which he indignantly denied, and said that his rule in all cases was not to decide a cass until the same was submitted to him for de cision, and then his only desire was to decide the case upon its merits. His expla nation was satisfactory to me, ana l so in formed him, and the question was not referred to again until a News reporter asked for an Interview for Tuesday's paper, to which I consented, provided he would submit the interview to Judge Coffey for con firmation, which he did. This Interview is, in the main, correct, though some of its conclusions were not. From Monday evening until Wednesday nigat. at the time of balloting, I told every county officer to whom I rpoke that I thought Judge Coffey a fair man, and that our association was not In the fight against him. I could not control, nor did I attempt to Influence, a vote of a county officer for or against Judge coney. I never approached, nor did any member of our com mittee approach, either Judge Coffey or judge Jordan as to tneir views on wnat would be their decision in the cas?s that might be presented to them for their decision. It would be unbecoming in us to ask and beneath their standing to answer such d?mands. . I was a delegate by proxy when the vote for Judge of the Supreme Court was to be taken. Every delegation, as far as I could sec, had b?en materially reduced by ab sentees. The Hamilton county delegation only numbered 12 votes, counting delegates, alternates and proxies. I as Red that we di vide our vote equally between Judge Coffey and Judge Jordan, 6 and 6, if we voted those present, or 12 and 12 if we voted a full delegation.- Other parties objected, and demanded polling the vote. ve did so. and it resulted 8 votes for Coffey and 4 for Jordan. The Coffey delegates suggested that we cast a full vote, as other counties, and that we cast 20 votes for Cof fey and 4 for Jordon. I objected, and demanded that if we cast the full vote of a full delegation that each candidate should be entitled to their ratio of votes cast by those present, which would be: Coffey, 10 votes; Jordon, 8, which was accepted, and the vote was cast in their proper .ratio of strength. The above is a complete and true state ment of the contest for the judgship, and now. In behalf of the County Officers' As sociation of Indiana, I most emphatically deny that there was any organized effort made by us to defeat Judge Coffey. As to individual differences or opinions held by county officers, or their individual efforts In either nominating or defeating Judge Coffey or Judge Jordan, I havs nothlpg te say; that is their affair, and not ours; nor should our association be held responsible for their individual preference. Further more, we are charged ..with working with the Liauor Association against Judsre Cof fey. I wish to sav that such charge is false. We neither by word, letter or deed had any dealings with these efforts, if made by the Liquor Association. Personally. I think the Judgment of the Supreme Court was a wise and Just decision in the StehJln case. I hope the above win be accept! lu the same spirit It is given of rendering unto each and all a fair and honorable ad justment. A. R. TUCKER. Chairman of County Officers' Association. The Indianapolis Sentinel of April SO con tains an interview purporting to have been held by a reporter of the Sentinel at this place with me. I deny the statements therein made, and further say that it does not state facts. The reporter must have drawn his conclusions from persons who were interested more in misrepresenting than in stating tne iruin. a. r. t. Noblrsville, Ind., May L A Defeated Candidate Speaks. Chairman Gowdy, of the Republican State committee, has received the appended let ter: "Dear Sir The Republican State convention having named the standard-bearers for the campaign. It is now the duty of every Republican to fall Into line and work for the success of the entire ticket from now until the time the polls shall close next November.

Patrolman Laird Put Two Warrinff Women on Good Terms. Patrolman Laird acted the part of a peacemaker yesterday with great- effect Two women residing on North Tine street. whose husbands are in good circumstances, quarreled over a petty affair. The two bad been close friends for several years. So strong- was their friendship that whenever one bought anything new the first thing she did was to rush over to the other's house and show It to her and get her opinion about it. But yesterday afternoon the rain spoiled some arrangements the two had made for visiting, and this threw them into gloomy spirits. One said something exasperating that the other thought was aimed at her personally. Saucy words fol lowed, and they started lor eacn otner. in fight was on, the two pulling each other's hair out in fistfuls. The women were about exhausted. When along strolled patrolman Laird. They stopped fighting as he came up, and he slowly went over the situation and showed the women how fool sh they were, ine women grew very red in the face, and signified their intentions of being good friends In the future. Laird then said, "iNow, as both of you see how foolishly you have acted. Just kiss and make up." The women looked at each other for only a secona. and then put their arms around each other and kissed, after which they Iiurried to their homes to do their nous-: worK, none the worse for their experienc excepting sore heads. AMUSEMENTS. The Grand Opera House held a fairsized audience last night when Mrs. Har riet A. Prunk's pupils presented the first of their two nights' entertainments. A lit tle sketch from the German, used with much success at one time by Janauschek, was the first thing on the programme. It is known as "Come Here," from the fact that various ways of expressing those two words are exemplified by one of the char acters, that of an actress who Is supposed to be In a manager's office seeking a posi tion. He wishes some evidence of her abil ity, and asks that she say "come here" to suit various situations which he describes. Mies Marguerite R. Vernon, one of this year's graduates from Mrs. Prunk's school. was extremely clever In this rather trying line, fitting the two words quite admirably to all the different occasions described by the exacting manager, who was well por trayed by Mr. Fred A. Sullivan, another of the graduates of the present year.

Prunk's fifteenth annual occasion of this sort. Otin Skit ner and Victoria nntemnn. A letter from Otis Skinner, now playing on the coast with Mme. Modjeska, an nounces that he will give up his plan to star in Shakspeare's plays next season and will confine himself to two plays that have been written especially for him. His Shylock as given here recently with Modjeska Is, perhaps, his favorite character, and there will be no little disappointment if he decides to abandon It altogether. He has secured the handsome and talented v 1ctoria Bateman as leading woman. There 13 much commendation of his new plays. Says Mr. Skinner: "In 'His Grace de GrammonL' Clyde Fitch has certainly done the best work of his life. It is absolutely unique. He has most admirably caught the spirit of the time, and his characters of De Grammont, Charles II. Miss Hamilton ana Lady Castlemalne stand out as strongly and freshly as the portraits of Kneller or Lely. As he said in a recent letter to me, he wrote most of the piay in the ehadow of Hampton Court, and he has been very faithful to his task. My other play is a new transla tion of Le Rol fc.' Amuse,' by Victor Hueo. which I have christened TriDoulet Huko's tragedy has never ben done in Amer ica, except In the abbreviated and diluted form that Tom Taylor gi ve it under title of 'The Fool's Revenue.' The present adaptation is by a well-known author, and is an admirable piece or work. The profli gate court of Francis I forms a most picturesque background for the dramaPercy Anderson, of London, will design the costumes, and iJuiridge, of Chicago, will paint tne scenery, uotn plays win be 'productions.' I shall retain the principal mem bers of the Modjeska company. My tour begins in teptemoer at the Grand Opera House, Chicago, under the management of J. J. Duckiey." . Purii "Little Trlxie." Miss May Smith Robblns, a sprightly young comedienne, who is new to the local stage, began a half week's engagement at the Park Theater yesterday, presenting for the first time here a musical com edy drama, entitled "Little Trixie." Miss Robbins Is a bright little wroman, with a fair singing voice, pleasing personal ap pearance ana witnai a very ciever performer in her particular line. Her play has only the framework of rather an ob scure plot, but it is sufficient to answer all demands, as it is only intended to allow the introduction of vc-rious songs, dancea and other specialties. The best among these is the work of Nat Franklin on a variety of musical Instruments. Other features, however, were very good, and the performance as a whole Is of a pleasing character.
