IT WAS TURPIE'S BILL

SEMIXEL'S CAMPAIGN LIE PItOVES A VERITABLE HOOMEItAXG. Democratic Senator Chief Author of an Odious Lnvr, Which Governor Porter Refused to Sljjn. The more one delves into the substance of the attack made by the Sentinel upon Hon. Charles L. Henry the more he is Impressed with the reckless Impudence of the false hoods contained therein. The Journal yesterday morning exposed the utter untruth fulness of that portion of the screed collected In Anderson. It remains this morn ing to tell something of the Indianapolis end of the story. The Sentinel endeavored to make Mr. Henry responsible for an odious law sub versive of the rights of labor which stood upon the statute books for eight years. The sections which it quoted, declaring, If not directly, at least by Implication, that he was their author, were these: "Preventing Work Whoever by threats, Intimidation or force prevents or seeks to prevent any person from doing work for, or furnishing materials to any person, firm or corporation engaged In any lawful bus iness, snail be lined not more than 1100 nor less than $20, to which may be added imprisonment in the county Jail for not more than six months nor less than ten days. "Impeding Railroad Travel Whoever unlawfully by threats, intimidation or force prevents or attempts to prevent any railroad company or any of the agents, servants or employes thereof from moving, running and operating the locomotives. cars and trains of such railroad company or from transporting and carrying passen gers or rreight In. Its cars on the line of such railroad company, common carrier or persons engaged in transporting or carry ing passengers or rreight for hire rrom so transporting or carrying either passenger or freight, shall be fined not more than $1,000 nor less than $50, to which may be added - imprisonment in the State prison not more than twenty-one years nor less than two years; and such offender shall be disfranchised and rendered Incapable of holding any office of trust or profit for any determinate period." The chief author of these particular sections of the statutes was David Turpie, at present Democratic Senator from Indiana in the United States Senate, and one of the chief speakers on the stump this campaign. The sections which the Sentinel calls the "conspiracy bill" were not so named nor were they a bill by themselves. They were simply two sections in the Revised Statutes of isSl. sections 215 and 217 of the act relating to crimes. Instead of standing alone they were a part of the criminal code of that revision. In the acts of 1879, page 192, will be found an act which passed the legislature of that year, for the revision of the statutes, the revision to be accomplished by three commissioners, two Democrats and one Republican, to be appointed by the Supreme Court. In accordance with this act the Supreme Court appointed Judge David Turpie, of this city. Judge Stotsenberger, of New Albany, both Democrats, and Judge Frazer, of Warsaw, Republican. These gentlemen, during the session of 1S81, reported the complete revision of the statutes to the Legislature, and that body enacted most of the report Into law without question. It went under the title of "house bill 393." The bill was Introduced by Mr. Neff. Democrat, and passed under suspension of the rules by vote of 72 to C. It was read only by title. It was simply Impossible to read the whole Revised Statutes "as one bill, and the legislature was disposed to trust the judgment of Turpie and his associates. The Sentinel states that these particular sections was approved by Governor Porter. It happens that this was part of the revision under the general head of "Crimes." commonly known as the "Crimes BUI" portion. This was the only part of the general revision that Governor Porter refused to sign. Although he had but three days to examine this act, which was a bulky volume, he saw points in the crimes bill which did not agree with his views, and returned It to the Legislature with the following note: "I am directed oy the Governor to certify that this act was presented to him on the 14th dav of AprM. I S1 -.nd has become a law without his signature. "FRANK H. BLACKLIDGE, "Private Secretary." So far as appears from the journals of the two houses there was no debate upon Sections 215 and 217 of the bill, which are the ones written by Mr. Turpie which the Sentinel Is now endeavoring to shoulder off upon Mr. Henry. No member of the Leg islature, so far a known, knew that these objectionible sections were in the bill. The Democrats themselves appear not. to have teen In Mr. Turple's full confidence, or, if they were, they had no disposition to repeal these laws until eight years aftprwards. when organized labor grew strong enou gn to uemana the repeal. Though they nau tne legislature neany an these years, the sections were not repealed until 18.9. ELECTION OFFICERS PAY. DeniocrntH Iluvlnjr Trouble In Secur ing Men for Election Day The Democratic custom has heretofore been In this county to reward the workers who serve as judges, clerks, sheriffs and Inspectors of elections as near a week's pay as could be extracted from officials holding a loose responsibility for the people's money. After the last election in the city, when Controller Trusler began to re ceive the bills of election officers, he saw the Imposition -and refused to pay the extortionate claims. The question was taken to the courts, and a decision was secured from the Superior Court judges, sitting in general term, that judges, clerks and sheriffs are entitled to one day only and inspectors to two days' pay. This decision Is unquestionably the law for the county as well as the city, and it remains to be seen whether the commissioners will with stand the pressure from the party heelers to, continue the old custom. The 'doubt In the matter is making it difficult for the Democratic managers to secure men this year to serve on the election boards. IIoltxmiin'M Feeble Denial. John W. Holtzman yesterday denied that there was any truth in the statement that he had been deposed as chairman of the Democratic county committee. He refused to talk at length upon the subject, but let Mr. Taggart do the talking. Taggart said that Holtzman had simply called to his aid a number of lieutenants who were prominent members of the partv. Some Democrats who are posted on the management of party affairs say that the deposition of Holtzman was in fact made. and that it was caused by his turning too much or the management of the county campaign over to Bud Swift. He had a great deal to do with directing the campaign, and as a consequence there are several Democrats who have always done valuable work for the party that refuse to visit tne committee rooms.

Yesterday was the fiftieth anniversary of the marriage of Rev. and Mrs. Sebastian C. Barth. From 3 to 10 o'clock last evening they were at their home, No. SS7 North West street, to receive their friends. Early in the day presents, letters and telegrams began to arrive from friends in all parts of the country, and by last evening they had numerous remembrances. They were assisted by their daughters. Misses Amelia and Matilda Barth, in receiving and en tertaining the company. The house was decorated with palms, golden-rod and au tumn leaves as appropriate to the occasion. and a bountiful luncheon was spread for all the guests. During the afternoon the German ministers called in a body and of fered their congratulations In several happy speeches, A number of the preachers presented Rev. and Mrs. Barth with a handsome onyx and brass stand, with a china iardiniere and palm. Attached to the table was a card tied with yellow ribbon, bearing the names of Rev. Mrs. Stein, Steinert, Geckiler. Kalbfieisch, Helming and - fami lies. A year ago last month Mr. Barth celebrated his fiftieth anniversary in the min istry, and it was made the occasion of meetings and congratulations and special services. They were married In St. Louis in 1844. and have lived In this city most of the time ior thirty years. Both are well, and it is not infrequent that Mr. Barth walks to Brifrhtwood to conduct services. He Is sev enty-nine and his wife is seventy-two years old. A "PROPHET'S" SCHEME ARREST OF A COUPLE ALLEGED TO HAVE "WORKED 3IAXY CITIES. Mr. If. A. Lee, 11 Reputed Clnlrvoynnt, Had Her Companion Arrested Ilia Interesting Story. Two weeks ago a man and a woman giv ing their names as Mr. and "Mrs. H. A. Lee, engaged rooms at No. 153 North Capitol avenue. Soon after their arrival the sup posed Mrs. Lee put a card in a front window reading "The Veiled Prophet." It was easily seen that she was a reputed clair voyant, and business proved brisk. Yes terday she swore out a warrant for Lee's arrest, charging him with larceny. He was arrested last night, and at the police sta tion told a peculiar story that exposed the doings of the two. He said he met. her in Cleveland, O., last May, and that, as she was very fascinating and seemed to have a peculiar influence over people, he became her companion. She proposed that they travel about the country as man and wife, saying she would eirn money to support them by her socalled fortune telling and other schemes. He said Lee was an assumed name, but that It was adopted as a convenience. They remained in Cleveland a short time, the woman styling herself "The Veiled Prophet." Lee said she obtained audiences with people who were In trouble, and then persuaded them to give her clothing or jewelry. She then told them she would charm what they gave her, and if they would call on a set day she would return the goAl3 to them, and in the future their troubles would vanish. Before the set day came Lee said he and the woman would sell the goods and then leave the city in which they were. This plan worked at Detroit. where she went under the name of "The Gypsy Queen," at Columbus, O., where she assumed the name of "Madame Erdo," and also at Louisville. Lee insisted that the six dresses, four sack coats and a silver watch which fie claimed he stole from her were obtained in this manner, and that, though he knew the consequences, he Intended to expose the whole affair In Police Court this morning. Lee said the cause of the trouble between the woman and himself was his jealousy, as she had entertained several stranjers during the last week against his wishes. It was learned at the police station that the woman Intended to leave the city at 12 o'clock l?st night, and olticers were directed to arrest her on a charge of fornication. The goods In dispute were found In Carpenter's saloon, on West Market street, and are at the police station. The two will bp held until the rightful owners of the goods are learned. HEADED OFF A FIRE. A Merchant Policeman Discovers a Blaze at lSurfonrs Establishment What might have proven a disastrous fire was prevented last night by the timely discovery of Merchant policeman Walker. While walking through the alley alongside i'.urford's printing establishment he saw Amol:e. In a few minutes he found its source in the printing establishment. A till Hlann Was sent in and the fire extinguished with a loss of about $20. The ire was in the rear part of the old building, between the third and fourth floors, mmedlately under the boiler used in makng press rollers. When the floor was cut nto one of the beam ends was seen to be .ne large, live coat, and It would probably h.ave been but a short time till it burst into a flame. A few pans of. water extinguished the fire.

TALE OP CRUEL HAZING

AUSTIN PARKER, OF THIS CITY, TORTURED AT Fl'HDl'C UNIVERSITY. Hot ThIIow mid Red Ink on Him After He Win Stripped of Clothing. Some students of Purdue University who spent Sunday In Indianapolis told of a haz ing at that college during the latter part of last week which exceeded tn brutality anything that has been reported for years. The students told some of their friends in this city of the disgraceful affair, and through them it Decame public The victim of the hazing was Austin Parker, a seven teen-year-old boy, residing with his parents at 533 Park avenue. The account of the haz ing as related by the students, who were the source of Information, showed a prob ability of malice In It. Early on the evening when the outrage was perpetrated upon him young Parker was going to his room. Three young men, wearing masks, seized and overpowered him before he was aware of any danger. He was prevented from making an outcry and was forced Into a carriage. His three assailants then took him to a secluded spot near Lafayette and dragged him from the carriage. He was ordered to disrobe and promptly refused to obey the order. The three masked men did not parley with him about the refusal to obey their commands, but proceeded immediately to tear his clothes from him. Then al three assailants, with long, heavy switches, lashed him across the bare flesh, calling upon him to dance and laughing at him the while. This sort of inhuman diversion was kept up till the three tired of their brutality and sought other diversion. After they had tired of beating him with the switches they compelled him to stand upon a 'stump and sing for their amusement. Then they told him to relate his family history. Having seen the futility of refusing to obey any orders that were given him, and realizing that refusal only meant further brutality on the part of his assailants, he obeyed in so far as he could, and told what he knew of his family history. The night was cool and frosty, and the sharp wind chilled young Parker through and through as he stood upon the stump without clothes. He complained of the cold, and then came the culmination of fiendishness in the acts of his assailants. When he complained they said they would soon heat him up. They produced tallow candles, which had evidently been brought along for the very torture for which they were used. The candles were lighted and held so that the melted tallow would drip from their ends upon the exposed flesh of young Parker. As the hot grease trickled down his flesh and he screamed with pain his torturers expressed their high glee and entire satisfaction in laughter and sarcastic remarks. They had not yet, however, perpetrated all the outrages which they contemplated, and after they had derived sufficient pleasure from the scalding and burning process they told Parker they would apply a balm to the burns, and then red ink was poured over him. After this a half of a watermelon rind wa9 turned over his head and the three cowardly assailants fled. Parker was left to gather together his torn clothes and get back to his room as best he could. The night being very dark, he could not recognize any of the men, but believes they were students at the college. Young Parker is but seventeen years of age. and is anything but robust. He Is slender and light in weight, and the severe torture that he was put through may result in permanent injury to him. The next dav he was suffering from a severe cold brought on by his exposure the night before, and was very weak as a result of his treatment. Parker attended the High School In this city last year, and is a member of the freshman class at Purdue. While in the High School he made an excellent record as a close student, and stood at the head of all of his classes. He Is of a retiring disposition, and his Indianapolis friends are at a loss to know why he should be made the victim of such a villainous attack. It was evident from the brutality of the treatment that the motive was another than the mere desire for a little amusemen at the expense of a fellow-student. J. B. Parker, the father of the boy, has gone to Lafayette to demand of the faculty that they Institute a full and complete investigation to ascertain who the guilty persons are. The assault was such a disgraceful one that the faculty will bring it before the grand Jury of Tippecanoe county for Its investigation, and the guilty persons will be indicted if their identity can be learned. Mr. Parker was not at his home on Park avenu last night when a Journal representative called to see him. Mrs. Parker was asked for a statement of the facts as they had come to the family, but declined to talk of the 'affair at all. She said an investigation was being made, and until such time as it was concluded and the guilty persons apprehended she would not say anything about it. A STREET-RAIL W A DECISION. A Feature of the Detroit Case Compared with the Local One. Telegraphic reports state that the TTnited States Court of Appeals, in session at Cincinnati, yesterday reversed the decision of the Circuit Court in the case of the City of Detroit against the Citizens' Street-railroad Company, holding that the Citizens' company's franchise for thirty years was Irrevocable, notwithstanding the expiration of the corporate life of the company at the end of fourteen years. General Manager McLean, of the Citizens Streetrailroad Company of this city, stated last night that the Detroit case and the Indianapolis one were not identical, but he thought from the brief report that the decision had a favorable bearing on the Indianapolis case. The State law of Michigan limits a corporation's life to thirty years. Messrs. Winter and Miller, attorneys for the local company, are both cut of the city. Manager McLean is now equipping the local lines with the Crawford life guards, a device that was first introduced in Pittsburg, where it saved a number of lives. Frank Garrison's Serious Fall. Yesterday morning Frank Garrison, a carpenter employed in erecting a house at No. 476 North Pennsylvania street, fell from the roof to the ground, a distance of thirty feet, and broke an arm and nose and suffered a concussion of the brain. He was given medical attention at the City Dispensary for several hours, during which time he remained unconscious, and was afterwards removed to his home. No. 1 Division street. West Indianapolis. His condition is serious. License for Ilrlpcliton Hen en.

Diagnosing Disease Blindfolded

Remarkable Career in the Cure of the Sick. Holding nn AiiRry Mob nt Day from the Hear Platform of the Truin. Col. Robert G. Olcott. of London, was the guest of the Chester Club, of Philadelphia, the evening when the subject for discus sion happened to be our grrat men. And as Colonel Olcotfs mission to this country was to investigate the history of the different types of great Americans, he was called upon to respond. "I will respond as to the physicians," said the Colonel in his English brogue. "My idea, gentlemen, of .a great physician Is a physician who Is capable, and who does great things, a man of great originality, quick in perception, cool in demeanor, strong in, his convictions, forcible in tne presentation of his belief and unbiased by sectarian prejudice, whether It be in medicine, 'religion or politics. The physician I refer to is certainly a wonderful physician, as well as a remarkable personality. "He seems to possess a great Intuition, which enables him to diagnose all diseases and describe these diseases without being told anything and without asking any questions better than the patient can tell him. I have seen him in more than twenty case3 blindfolded, and in this condition ted every person their diseases in letail, without asking a question. Consequently, when he doctors a patient he doctors hlra for .he right disease, instead of experimenting with him. I have seen him more than a dozen times, while thoroughly blindf oi led, real a book as- readily as if he had tl3 use of h.s ees. I don't pretend to say how he doea these things, for I don't know, but I do knowthat he does them. "He examines thousands of sick people every year, and tells each and every one their trouble without asking a question. Now it seems to me that a man who can read the inside of a sick person as he '-70Uld an open book, without asking any 4uestlons, is far more capable of treating the patient than the doctor who has to guess at the disease from what the patient may tell him. . A , "The gentleman I refer to is Dr. It. c. Flower, of Boston, Mass. You have all heard of him many times. .He has thousands of patients under his care. These patients are distributed all over your United States and In other countries. Wherever Dr. Flower goes crowds gather to see him of the incurable sick from evt ry part of the world.

O., and the Continental Hotel, in this city, have all brought the answer that whenever Dr. R. C. Flower visits their hotel great crowds of the sick and suffering come to see him, and that the people who come to see him are generally the most prominent and wealthy people of the country, representing all the positions, business and professional, of life; and as far as any expressions have been heard, they have been that Dr. R. C. Flower has cured or is curing them, and that he told them their diseases without asking a quesU"The physician who took Antonio Casenero, the Cuban Prince, and his wife to see Dr. R. C. Flower in 1SS3 described to me the first interview between Dr. Flower and the Prince's wife: 'You need not tell me anything,' said the Doctor as he took . ..man'a Viand in his and looked di rectly into her eye for a minute.

Your case is now considered ny physicians generally as incurable. 'You are right in every particular,' id the woman, "but for God's sake how did you know these things?' 'Xever mind how I know them. I see you now have seven or eight growths coming in the breast around the edges where the operations were performed and two under' the arm. Your disease has now reached a state where you are In constant suffering.' Without delay the Doctor filled a hypodermic needle with a mixture of lachesls, permanganate of potash, thymol and refined green tincture of stlllenger, . and made an injection into each growth. These injections were repeated every third day for three weeks, when every trace of the cancerous growths were gone. He treated the system constitutionally for eight months, from which time Mrs. Casenero has enjoved perfect health. "The minister to the United States from one of the leading South American republics told my worthy friend on my left that he believed Dr. It. C. Flower, of Boston, was inspired of God to cure the sick when all other efforts failed; that he and his family were patients of Dr. R. C. Flower, and his treatment of their cases was miraculous.

late ex-Governor Rishcp. of Ohio, In which he says: 'If miracles have ever been performed in modern times then Dr. U. C Flower, of Roston. performs them dally. X have seen him examine scores of patients without afklng a question, and tell each one In detail his trouble. I have seen men and women sick unto death with cancers and tumors, after given up by the leading medical skill of this country to die. cured by Dr. It. C. Flower tn a. short time vrithout the knife, without pain and without blood. I have seen the same wonderful cures of paralysis, rheumatism, heart and nerve troubles.' The Oovernor closes this letter by saving: There are several brothers In the Flower family whose lives are full of promise. B. O. Flower, the youngest brother, is the popular editor of tha Arena, but there Is but one Dr. R. C. Flower, and there will Xever! Xever! Never! Be another. He has built up his present great practice, which Is without doubt th largest and most extended practice in the world. Of this great practice he Is Its head, its life. Its center and Us source. One of his brothers, Dr. A. H. Flower, is in his employ, and is doing a good work. Other physicians of skill are associated with him. He is the most cheerful man In the sick room I ever knew. The moment you come lntrt his nrpspnee vou feel that he will cure

v you. He is the most pleasing gentleman I ever met. and In my judgment me greatest living physician. , "It was Dr. R. C. Flower who. fourteen year3 ago, cured, in this city, the president of the Pennsylvania railroad of hopeless paralysis. From that cay to this his miraculous cures have startled your country at frequent intervals. Such cures as that of Miss E11.4 Retts. South Norwalk. Conn., from helplessness to perfect use of her limbs; Mrs. A. T. Longly, of Washington, D. C... of malignant ttbroid growth of the womb, and all of these cures permanent. His recent cures of such men as John Hopkins, Ellsworth, Me., and Dr. M. F. Rrooks, Portland, Me.; of John Straw, of Stowe, Vt.; of Mrs. Jerry Rooth, of Vergenne Vt; of Mrs. McOmber. of Ralston Spa, X. Y.; of A. E. Sprague, of Columbus. O.; of Mrs. Jhenta Deykean. of Sheridan, Ind.; of C. H. Posey, 615 Chestnut street, Evansville, Ind.; the wife of the Hon. William Mix, of Louisville, Ky., Is evidence beyond dispute that Dr. R. C. Flower, in the treatment and cure of chronic diseases is a master; that most of his cures are men and women given up by other physicians as incurable. Dr. Flower is the head, the examiner and consulting physician of this great practice, while the treatment and details are attended to by his associates. "Your worthy secretary, who has known Dr. R. C. Flower for many years, has told me many an Interesting bit of his history while he was in the practice of the law. For, aa some of you know, the Doctor was educated for law, practiced several years, lost his voice. wnt into the practice of medicine and has never been abie to quit it. It was In 1874 (20 years ago) that Dr. R. C. Flower, not a practicing physician then, was called to Mobile to defend a man under arrest charged with arson. After a desperately fought case ne succeeded in acquitting hl9 client. On his return North at a little station south of Franklin, Tenn., a mob of infuriated men surrounded the sheriff, who was endeavoring to get a negro on the train. A thousand men, many of them with masks on their faces, cried out: 'Uansr Him! Hnnjr Him! A rope was thrown around his neck, and In another moment he would have been swinging to a limb, when R. C. Flower, moving his hand, cried out from the rear platform: "Gentlemen, hear me before you hang this man. You are Southern men, and I am glad as such to address you. This great crowd is represented bv soldiers who a few years, ago wore both the gray and the blue. Your records were those of courage, of daring and valor. You were brave men then, and I believe you are brave men to-day. You are Southerners; men of chivalry men easily excited, quick to resent an evil, but, gentlemen, Yon Are IVot Murderers. And I don't believe you want to murder this man In cold blood. You don't want to establish a precedent of mob law, which may seme day be visited upon some of you. Let the law, I beg you, take its course. You will feel better as you think it over;better when you go to your beds to-niKht, and better in the silence of vour last night on earth At this the leader of the mob cried out as he threw the rope down: I reckon you are rlRht, young man. We will let the law take Its course,' and the sheriff hustled the frightened negro into the car." Rut enough. Colonel Olcott only expresses what thousands know, and If Dr. It. C. Flower should ever return to the practice of law he would at an early day carve his name on the highest round of a great reputation. The great interest the world now has in Dr. Flower is as a physician, as a healer, when all others fail and death approaches. Those Interested tn the wonderful career of this marvelous man who send 4 cents return postage stamps to the Mower Medical Company, No. K9 Columbus avenue, Roston, Mass., will receive a photogravure, biography and Dr. Flower's new work, entitled, "Dr. R.
