appeared or the prosecution. Kx-Judge .Morris, counsel for Mr. Norton, contended j that the agreement of "the company with the United States government provided that they must be ready to carry , mail on all trains or cars, and that while there might have been ears without mail actually on them, the cars, when the sign was put on, had been engaged in carrying mail, l'ollce Superintendent Campbell gave out ( a warning to-day to those who had In contemplation the demonstration In favor of the street-car strikers at the City, Hall square this afternoon. The superintendent says: ''The Mayor's proclamation, issued , two weeks ago. is still In force, and, conse quently, no gathering or meeting will be permitted in the streets or squares of Brooklyn. I have issued an order holding the reserves in readiness at each precinct to be ready to prevent any demonstrations , of the strikers." Judge Moore, in the Court of Sessions, today instructed the February grand jury that it would have a great deal of work before it In investigating the disorder during the past few weeks, caused by the strike. The responsibility of the disorderly acts, ' he told the jury, must be placed. Law ana order must prevail, and it Is the duty of " the grand Jury to find out who was responsible. . . Kverything was quiet this afternoon. The wtrikers have been exhorted by their leaders not to make any breach of the iaw, and they are carrying this wish out to the letter.

An excit-Jng-scene occurred in the Senate Saturday. A heated debate arose over a bill authorizing the expenditure of money for an Interstate, encampment. Mr. Goodwin, the leading Populist Senator, who is contesting Representative Cobb's seat In Congress, made some allusions to fraud in recent elections. Mr. Fettus.

The lie Was given and the two Senators started towards each other, but friends rushed between them Just in time to prevent blows. The scene was very exciting for a few moments, very Senator being on his feet.

GOLD BRICK SHARKS

AHKEST OF TWO M.G.Y WHO SVIDLED AX 1 Mil AX A BA.VKBR IX 1S02. J. K. Holman, Well-Known Kokoino Citizen, MlMlnsr, and Foal Play I Hinted Otlier State Sens. Special to the Indianapoiia Journal. WABASH, Ind., Feb. 4. After a search lasting nearly three years, involving the expenditure of a large sum of money, James Johnson, the banker of Upland," a village southeast of this city, has located the man who, In August, 1892, induced him to purchase a goli brick, which was represented worth $13,000, and for which he paid $7,500. In the summer of 1852, while Mr. Johnson was on his farm, he noticed a white man and an Indian mysteriously looking - f or something in his meadow. The Indian told him that years ago his ancestors had burled a gold brick, valued at $15,000, on the farm, and that he had come back from the West to find it. He offered to sell Mr.' Johnson the brick for $7,500, provided he found it. and the banker Jumped at the proposition. The brick, of course, was found at the root of an old old, and when exhumed had all the appearance of a brick of pure gold. Mr. Johnson hurried off to Marion, got $7,500 and drove back to Upland, where the Indian and his white companion were waiting. The money was counted out and the gold brick was turned over to Mr. Johnson, who hastened to the bank to deposit it in his safe. The Indian and his friend lost no time in getting out of the neighborhood. Four or five days later the banker took the brick to Marlon and learned from D. B. Sweetser that he had been tricked. The gold brick was merely a large pressed brick, neatly covered with gold-leaf. ' Detectives were employed and the hunt kept up until the capture of the pair at Richmond, Va. Last Friday Mr. Johnson received a telegram from the authorities at Richmond saying they thought they had both men, and that photographs would be sent him to assist in identification. The photos came, and so vivid was the recollection of the features of the swindlers that the Upland banker recognized his "friends" instantly. It is understood that the swindlers will be brought to Indiana for trial the present month. - : CULVER ACADEMY HIUXED. i The Military School nt Lake Maxlnknekee Detroyed by Fire. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.. LOG ANSPORT, Ind., Feb. 4. The Culver Military Academy, at Lake Maxinkutkee, was destroyed by fire at noon to-day. The building, which was frame, caught fire from sparks from a flue. The building was only a temporary one for the school, which was organized but a year ago. Preparations have been in progress for some time for the erection of a handsome brick structure, work on which will begin In the spring. There were forty-three students, none of whom was injured. The building destroyed was valued at $5,000, and was Insured, but the amount cannot be learned. The students were taken Into Mr. Culver's large residence, where they will continue ther. studies as usual. A dispatch from Plymouth says the loss by the burning of the military academy is between $15,000 and $20,000; insured in the Continental for $2,000 and in the Caledonian, of Edinburg, for $2,000. Henry C. Adams, of Indianapolis, whose son Is attending the academy, yesterday received a dispatch from Rev. J. II. McKenzle, president of the school, saying none of the students was injured, that all were well cared for and that there would be no interruption in the studies. School will be conducted in the commodious Culver residence until the completion of the large new buildings this spring. Dr. McKenzie said patrons of the school need feel no anxiety.

Dr. Herring, His Wife Xo. 2 nnd a Girl Xot Lost, as Reported. NEW YORK. Feb. 4. A dispatch from London says that "the mysterious schooner yacht Mohican, from New Y'ork, Is not lost as reported in the-United . States, unless she has met with disaster since Jan. US, for on that date she arived at St. Michaels, Azore islands." i ' The Mohican sailed from New York in the latter part of November with Dr. Conyers Herring, his bride of a few days and a young: girl, Letitia Thompson, on board, according to general report. Miss Thompson is said to have run away from home in order to take this cruise. Herring is the son of William Herring, the promoter of the Georgia Central Railroad. He purchased the Mohican from George Fitzgerald & Co., Boston. The first wife of Dr. Her-' ring was an English lady with whom he lived in London for several years. In England the most intimate friend of Dr.. Herring was Montague Eder, who was the doctor's classmate at Oxford , and who is said to be his partner in the Mohican venture. When Dr. Herring returned to New Y'ork with his wife Mr. Eder accompanied them. Dr. and Mrs. Herring disagreed and Mrs. Herring returned to England, to which country she was followed by Mr. Eder. Dr. Herring began divorce proceedings early In isy4, but his wife and Mr. Eder, who came back to this country, succteued in inducing the doctor to refrain from pushing the action. Some time afterwards Mrs. Herring began a suit against her husband, and in November last she was granted an absolute divorce with the privilege of marying again. This privilege was denied the doctor. However, Dr. Herring and Misa Mabel Harris, of Booth Bay harbor, Me., were marled in Jersey City on Nov. 17 last. They returned to New York and resided here while the Mohican was being prepared for her voyage. Wishing to secure a companion for Mrs. Herring No. 2, the doctor advertised for ona and Letitia Thompson applied for the tlace, pleading she was ill-treated at hom. and she was engaged. But Mrs. Thompson, the g.rl's mo'ther, refused to let the girl go and, visiting the yacht one day while the family was away, compelled Letitia to go ashore, but while walking up Vesey street the girl ran away and made her escape. Mr. Eder, it appears, in the meantime had married Mrs. Herring No. 1 and had returned to England after, as reported, drawing up copartnership papers with Dr. Herring, which resulted in tt? purchase and fitting out of the Mohicanfor a long voyage. It was said that it -was intended to arm the Mohican with two Gatling guns, but whether this was done or not is not known. The destinationof the Mohican was said to be Plymouth. England, where Mr. Eder and his wife, formerly Mrs. Herring No. 1, were to join the party. The first stopping place was announced to be at Fayal, Azore Islands, and the eventual destination of the Mohican was said to be the South P-acPic, where her two owners were to go into pearl fishing on a large scale. - PROTECTS OF KEFOHUERS. Parkhurst Followers Criticise the Sew Y'ork Legislature and Bosslsm. NEW YORK, Feb. 4. The meeting at Cooper Union to-night was called by the joint consent of the Good Government Club, the City Vigilance League and the GermanAmerican Reform League. . The speakers were principally from the ranks of the reformers, and not the straight Republican ranks. "The people from the country," as the Legislature was called, were requested to'look out for the Empire City Instead of discussing matters of miner Interest. The principal fault found was that the Legislature has tied the hands of Mayor Strong by not passing the power of removal bill at once. Every reference made to the police department and Its proposed single head was met with a shout of assent. Voices from the body of the hall shouted: "One head is sufficient." and when the Lexow police bill was denounced there w-as prolonged cheering. There was one dissenting voice, but that added merriment. Shortly after the doors were thrown open every seat was occupied, and then the aisles were filled unt.l there was not a spa.ee of standing room on the floor of the hall. Many women were present, who displayed even more enthusiasm than the men. The platform was crowded with the speakers and delegates from the Good Governthe city. Charles Stewart Smith was chairman of the meeting, and made a vigorous speech in behalf of immediate action by tne legislature upon the power of removal bill, -the police justice bill and the b.ll reforming the public schools. Resolutions were adopted, with but one dissenting voice in consonance with Chairman Smith's statement of the purposes of the meeting and denouncing partisanship and bossism in municipal aila.ra. Dr. Parkhurst denounced T. C. Piatt and James C. Carter, and al- " luded to them as the enemy of the reform movement. Other speakers were Cornelius N. Bliss, Gen. Wager Swayne and Joseph Larocque. When Dr. Parkhurst began to speak the crowd grew excited and cheered his utterances wildly. Men and women stood on seats and waved their hats and ' handkerchiefs at hir.i. lnts and Calls Xot Barred. CHICAGO. 111.. Feb. 4. In the vote today on the resolution to debar "mits and ealls" trading on the Board of Trade, the resolution was lost by a close vote. Th balloting created unusual interest on the board and to to the time the ballots were counted it was thought that the puts and t calls business would be discontinued.

DISGRACEFUL SCENES

ALMOST A RIOT AT THE FlXEHAL OF WARD M'ALLISTER. - Attempts Made to Stent Flowers from the Casket, anil the Mourners - Crowded by Intruders. NEW YORK, Feb. 4. The funeral of Ward McAllister took place from Grace Church to-day.' The church was crowded to the doors and many stood outside in the snow. - As the funeral procession entered the church the venerable Bishop Thompson, of Mississippi, read the burial service of the Episcopal Church. The body reposed in a casket of black broadcloth, which was literally buried under a mass of flowers. The crowd was at times most unruly. Attempts were made to steal flowers and even whole floral pieces, and so great was the clamor for good places that the late comers crowded r.ght in on -the heels of the mourners and had to be forced back by the police. As the last of the family party followed the casket up the aisle half a hundred curiosity seekers pressed forward eager to get into the church along with them. '.,.. "Get back!" yelled the policeman who was stationed in the vestibule. No one budged, but all crowded ahead. The policeman did not. parley, but, raising his arms, began shoving right and left. In this way room was made in the vestibule to allow the sex--ton to close the doors and keep out intruders. Still the crowd stayed in the vestibule while the services were conducted, and when the comn was borne out the mob had to be shoved along ahead of it. One woman clung, to an urn and would not move. A pohceman se.zed her by the arm and dragged her out In short order. The casket then was taken to Greenwood Cemetery, accompanied only by the members of the family. The chief mourners were the widow, Hall McAllister and the Rev. Francis Myron McAllister. The Bisnop of Mississ.ppi was ass.sted by the Rev. John Rv Hunt.ngton. of Grace Church, and the Rev.

The gaiety '. girl3 those widely-advertised English beauties witlv , their great ox-like eyes, retrousse noses, supple wal?ts, highcurved insteps and trim angles filled the stage at theiGrapoV Jst.. night. Contrary to all their "premature ' prejudices of the "frost" awaiting them at Indianapolis, they found a large and responsive audience willing to be pleased and quicker than in most provincial towns to pick out the bright things for applause. It was easy to see how very much in ' the performance would provoke a tumult In a London audience or in a metropolltlan American city, and yet passed over the heads of ne people here. But there was a g;enerous amount of good songs, ciever -dances and witty thrusts that kindled any amount of enthusiasm, at times calling for1', three and four encores. That veteran theatrical manager, J. C. Duff, representing Augustin Daly, left the opera house after the- first act with his face all smiles,. declaring that Indianapolis had warmed to the show as well a they did in New Y'ork. which is about as line a compliment on an Indianapolis audience as the critic has ever heard. This should not be taken as a com- ! plete indorsement of. the company, for in . some places it was simply wretched; next ' to amateur, n fact. A number of the best singers have .weak voices, and the reading of the lines, by the girl3 especially, ' was painfully mouthy, and unintelligible. Langley, the principal tenor, in the part of "Charley" Goldfield, can sing as leadins tenor in any comic opera company, but acts for all the world as a novice. n i is constantly at a loss what to do with j his great hands, and keeps laying tnem on tne shoulders ana arms or nis sweetneart much as . a man I'would pet a favorite mastiff. ." However, it is : the good things in the opera that are remembered, and they abound. W. H. Rawlins, leading comedi-ii, as Dr. Montague Brierly is a source of continuous fun when on the stage. If there ever was such !a doctor he wou' : cured mere patients with his overflowing pood spirits and 'merry iones Iuuji all the nostrums ; in materia medica. For a man of six feet and over, Rawlins is both a surprise and a wonder as a low comedian, and, ' considering that he does It all in "siraight' clothes," with no ridiculous "ntake-up" or clownish toggery," it is t-o nothing deserving, great praise. Percy Marshall, another straight comedian, in the part of an English divoree-court judge, succeeds In making his character more than interesting. These two give the audience something new in comedy business, playing the parts as perhaps no American comedian would believe they could be made acceptable. Rawlins and Ethel Sydney, as Rose Brierly, made a furious hit in the "Oh, My Daughter" song in the first act, and from that moment on the audience could not get enough . of the comical doctor. In fact, were it not for Rawlins there would be little fun In the piece. Miss Wlnnifred Dennis has the part of widow (Lady Virginia) and makes it as interesting as any of the Hoyt widows. She Is pretty enough to set the general run of hearts to thumping, and chaperones a bevy of English girls, supposed to be very pretty, but who have been terribly roasted in other places. This would be much out of taste even if correct.- Margaret and Helen Fraser and Maud . Percy are the three gaiety girl dancers. Their costumes a.e rich in satin, ribbons and Honkon, and In their several dances a trio of about the prettiest ankles seen here this season are made to execute, many pretty and difficult movements with rare grace. Margaret Fraser can kick the crown of her hat either from the front or rear, but she does !t with such grace and with the gifted legs no smothered in petticoats and ; flounces that at no time is there little more visible than her No. 13 slippers, and the act carries with it an idea cf refined dancing, as. indeed, does all the work of these imported pertormers. In the last act Nina Martins,, the French maid, has a sorxz that receives four recalls. The rest cf the time this g.ri piays me vu.ain and the onlv villain; in "A Gaiety Girl."

Is up , to date In every respect, having been rej vised and rewritten and cut from six act

to five. It now affords opportunities for a good deal of specialty work. The piece, as is well known, tells the story of a faithful son wrongfully accused of his mother's murder, sentenced to prison and who escapes after seven years. The dialogue '1 full of pathos." with an occasional dash of dry humor. The comedy element, while not forced nor of the common horse-play order. Is sufficiently funny to light up the sombre parts of the play. The action Is hurried and lively, with plenty of sudden surprises and unexpected changes. Each scene abounds in thrilling situations and each act ends with a powerful climax. The horse "business" is all new and origiuui, aplaylng the wonderful Intelligence of dumb brutes, each horse playing a part to perform, playing it f ,T oil i , ia -,--.

Mr. Wallick had his customary big houses yesterday afternoon and last night. The engagement run3 until Thursday, when "Across the Potomac" comes. Empire John L. Sullivan. John L. Sullivan, in his new play of "A True American," drew two large audiences at the Empire yesterday. The play Is cast on the good old melodramatic lines of the broken-down old man with most of the human virtues and holding a bit of property that Is liable (two acts out of three) to seizure at the hands of the scheming villain. Of course, the villain gets the worst of It, so to speak. He has to. If he didn't the audience would go home dif.gnmtled. The hero of the play, naturally, is John L. himself. The play was written for him. As John D. Newman (the "D" stands for "Des mond," the name assumed by him v. hlle unraveling the tangled web cf deception and heartless villainy woven by the scheming cousin) he rescues the innocent and protects the weak, as it Is a hero's uuty to qo.

The company rt?n.urs tne rest of the week, giving two performances daily. English's liallen and Hart. An old friend in the shape of farce-comedy made its reappearance at English's last, night. A fair-sized house welcomed Hallen and Hart and their successful skit, "Later On.". Nowadays "farce-comedy" is a muchabused term, but "Lattr On" .s a'pliy walc.i Is really enjoyable. For many years the firm of Hallen and Hart has possessed the favor and confidence of the play-going pubLc, and never at any time have they abused the confidence. This is the lart season that the team will play together. Last night their admirers evinced their appreciation by frequent and hearty applause. Tne support was good tnrougnout, tue singing oatcny, and the jokes full of mirth. Mark Murphy was e.s humorous as ever, and Carrie De Mar just as sprightly and vivacious as she ever was. Nina warrington and Edward Lawrence made a hit in their song and dance entitled "Tne Bowery Boy and the Tougn Girl." Quite a number of new songs were sung and frequent demands for encores were made. The dancing of Louise Willis. Edith Murray and Jennie Grovini was something remarkable, and other specialties were well received. "Later On" will continue until Thursday, with a matinee to-morrow. Daniel Shelby Dead. WILKESBARRE, Pa., Feb. 4.-Daniel Shelby, manager of the Music Hall, In this city, died suddenly of heart disease this morning, aged fifty-seven years. He was well-known in the theatrical profession, having managed houses in New York, Buffalo and Chicago. During his residence in Buffalo he was an intimate friend of Grover Cleveland. A wife and Eon survive him. Mrs. Shelby, hi3 wife, is now singing with an opera company. Mr. Shelby's, home was In New York city. r . Shelby was a member of Medina Lodge of Maaons ana Mystic Shrine, oi Chicago. He was also a charter member of tne New York Lodge of ElKs. The funeral will take place trom the residence of an . aunt la Brooklyn. Twenty-five years ago Mr. Shelby was manager of a theater in the Exchange Block, which stood on the site now occupied by the Y. M. C. A. Building. . The theater was located on the second floor and Hinsley's livery stable occupied the first floor. It was while managing that house that Mr. Shelby made his reputation as a shrewd manager. With Sheiby came the variety show, which, however, was not the same in those days as now. Stock companies composed mostly of fema.es, without high regard for morals, roaae up the show, and an important feature of the receipts was the sale of liquors in the green-room, which was open to all who held tickets to the theater. It was about tnis time that Simon McCarty took cnarge of the old Metropolitan, more familiarly known as the "Met." The two houses were great rivals for two or three years, when Shelby left here. After Shelby gave up the Illinois-street house it was remodeled and for a number of years was occupied almost exclusively by undertaking establishments and came to be known as "Undertakers' Row." Later it was refitted again and occupied by the y. M. C. A., and finally gave way to the present building. ' 'FalstalP' in Opera. NEW Y'ORK, Feb. 4. The opera house has rarely held a larger or more enthusiastic audience than that which greeted Sir John Falstaff's first appearance on the opera stage of this country. The enthusiasm of the audience was remarkable, and M.' Maurel was called , out again and again, while hardly less applause was given to Mme. Eames, Mme. Schalchi, Mile. De Lussan and Signer Campanarl. . At the, end of the performance the audience remained standing and applauded until the artists had been called back a half dozen times, while wreaths and bouquets rained on the stage. Signor Mancelli, the leader, also came In for rounds of applause, and had to climb on the stage and come forward with the players. In his libretto Signor Boito has relied mainly on "Merry Wives of Windsor," although he has added some matter trom two parts of "Henry IV" and eliminated certain scenes and characters that are familiar on the comedy stage. He has made an excellent story for opera comique, and Verdi has used It as a theme for excellent melody. The chief cnarm of nis score Is absolute simplicity of treatment, cut its best, quality will be found in a broad and genial spirit of humor. In i.-.s work tne maestro has followed the brilliant system of "Othello," a score which marks distinctly a divergence from his earlier styie and his susceptibility to the influence of Wagner. The difference between "Faistaff" and "Trovatore" is so vast that it seems hardly possible that both scores came trom the same mind. The curtain had no sooner gone ud than it became evident that oichestratlon had engaged the composer's efforts even more tnan vocalization. In his first operas Verdi used the Instruments merely as an accompaniment to the singers. In "Faistaff" he reverses this system In a considerable degree and gives h.s earnest attention to tne orchestra. "Falstaf" may be summed up in a word as an Italian "Melstersinger." It is a work f jil of melody and humor which will continue in favor as long as "Aida" and "Othello." Death of John Paul. PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 4. John Paul, at one time prominent as a comedian, died this morning. . Mr. Paul was for many years associated with William E. Burton, during that actor's management of the Arch-street Theater, and toured the country with many of the prominent stars of his time. For thirty-six years Mr. Paul i was treasurer of the Senior Lodge of the Actors' Order or nenasmp. ' Xotes of the Stage. The Llliputians come the last half of next week to English's.

I'ATiil.illl iN MJMjt. War Lyrics Suns: by a thorn Rouse Chicago Enthusiasm. Chicago Herald. Gray haired men grew young withr the roll of the drums; eyes, fast dimming with the flight of years, flashed .back the gleam of burntehed arms; bent frames became erect, as the shrill bugle sounded through 'the hall, and, when the swinging chorus of the battle hymn of the republic swelled out over the vast audience, the veterans of '61 saw a vision of long blue columns wheeling into action, while the deep sounding organ gave forth the thread of marching hosts; and the unbidden tears blinded him with the smoke from the cannon that boomed in the ears of memory. -, The Auditorium looked warlike last night. In the west lobby the men of Company H, First Regiment, I. NY G., slim and trim in their full dress uniforms of .gray, stood guard. Statuesque militiamen lined the broad stairways that sweep up to the grand foyer. Midway the tiers of boxes, on either side of the house, was one heavily draped with flags. As the people filed into the parquet the glitter of the glided epaulette and the clatter of the blade in the scabbard was as frequent as the gleam of the ivory shou.der and the-flash of my lady's diamonds. Down In front, where Ardltl has so often marshaled his fiddlers, was the martial band of the Second Regiment. There were 5,OJ0 persons in the hall, when the curtain rolled up on a United States infantry camp in the forest and the war song concert, for the benefit of the Presbyterian Hospital, commenced. 'lhe buglers trom Fort Sheridan sounded the reveille, and then Bicknell Young's strong, tiear oice rng out with: "M.ne eyes have seen the glory of the coming of tne Lord." One hundred and hfty men, led by FredericK W. Root, accompanied by the Second Regiment Band and Clarence Eddy at the big organ, took up the re -In, and, as the last notes d.ed away, a s. rm of applause swept over the house and male the rafters ring. Then came one hundred picked men from the Fifteenth United States Infantry at Fort Sheridan, under the command of Lieutenant Maxwell, going through the manual of arms in a style that made the sold.erly eye of General Rugfi, who occupied one of the flag-decoratsd boxes, gleam with satisfaction. Walter R. Root, the Lotus quartet nd the full chorus followed, with Emerson's stirring song. "We Are Coming, Father Abraham." The house was suddenly dark.ened as the song ended, and, from a great white canvas at the back of the stage, the rugged, kindly face of Abraham Lincoln looked out upon the throng for an instant. Then ' the lights flashed up again and a thousand eyes were turned on a portly,, tuli-bearded man, who sat in the box of honor opposite to General Ruger and flushed with filial pride as hundreds of voices shouted the name of the martyred President. George F. Root's "The Vacant Chair," by Charles W. Cark, the Linden quartet and the chorus, came next, and men Charles A. Dew's magnificent bass voice was heard in the rollicking "When Johnny Comes Marching Home." At the end of the second verse the chorus of dress suited young men that filled the stage fell back to the wings and the boys from Fort Sheridan came trooping through the forest, headed by their drum corps, to be greeted oy tne cheers of the crowd.' . But Lhe best was yet to come. As the soldiers passed from view the chorus closed in again, and then, through the. clustered singers an old man pickea his way to the footlights. The young men drew aside, al.most reverentially, to let him by, and In a twhvsling the assembled company recognized the pleasant, features of Dr. George F. Root. The hand capping Btarted like a pattering rain on the roof, and swelled in volume until it seemed as If it would never cease. When as last it died Vaway the UintAr'a arm Freil announced that his fath er would sing his greatest song, "The Battle Cry of Freedom," and said he wished the audience to join In the chorus. In a voice of wonderful resonance and clearness for one seventy-five years old, the silveryhaired veteran began: Yes, we'll rally round the flag, boys, We'll rally once again. Shouting the battle cry of freedom. We will rally from the hillside, We'll gather from the plain, Shouung the, battle cry of freedom. And full five thousand voices answered back: The union for ever, Hurrah, boys, hurrah! Down with the traitor, ITp with the star. While we rally round the flag, boys, rally once again, Shouting the battle cry of freedom. Men sprang to their feet and hurrahed as they used to do at the news from the front, thirty odd years ago; women- alernately waved their handkerchiefs and wiped their eyes. Away up in the balcony a stalwart militiaman thundered out above the din, "Three cheers for George F. Root," and the "tiger" must have sounded like an explosion to the people out on Congress street, who could't find their way into the hall. Again and again Dr. Root bowed his thanks, and then he picked his way back to his box and told how-he wrote the song In Chicago thirty-four years ago, words and music, in his little music store opposite- the courthouse. How the Ink was scarcely dry when the Lumbard brothers the great singerB of the war came in for something to sing at a war song meftins that was to be held immediately in the courthouse square. They went through tne new song once and hastened to the steps of the courthouse, followed by a crowd that had gathered while the practice wa? going on. Then Jule Lumbard's wonderful voice gave out the song and Frank Lumbard's trumpet tones led the refrain, and at the fourth verse 1.C00 voices were joining in the chorus. "From there the song went Into the army," said Dr. Root, "and the testimony in regard to its use in camp ana on me marcn, aiia even on the fle.a of battle, from so.diera and officers up to generals, and even lrom the President himself, made me thankful that if I could not shoulder a musket in defense of my country I could serve in this way. ' Draped in white, with the old flag in her hand, Mrs. Genevra Johnstone B.shop sang "The Star-spangled Banner" as It Is seldom sung nowadays. Her melodious soprano, voice swelled out and filled the big house with the gallant music, and again the company waxed noisy in its patriotic enthusiasm. John II. Hubbard pang "Old Shady" as only he can sing It. Charles W. Clark, the Weoer ouartet and chorus sang "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean." and- then Dr. Root repeated his earlier triumph with "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp." The programme closed with "America." the entire audience rising and joining in the chorus. . . La GiDtcogne Overdue. NEW Y'ORK, Feb. 4.

DEPUTY KlYhANAN RETAINED. West Indianapolis Council Refuses to Revoke Ills Powers. : The West Indianapolis Council met for the first time in the newVity building last night, and celebrated the event by holding a threehours' "' session. The principal business of the evening, or, at least," that which attracted the widest interest, was the action taken on the attempt of Marshal Perry to revoke the commission of Deputy Marshal Buchanan. Jan. 31 Marshal -Perry declared that Deputy Marshal Buchanan no longer had authority as a deputy marshal, and last night he so notified the Council. - City Attorney Stevenson gave it as his opinion that the marshal had not the power to revoKe the authority of the deputy marshal, unless the Council should concur in tne marsnal s action. A petition was presented signed by 150 residents of the suburo, praying tne Council to reinstate deputy .ouuhanan, as it was stated that he had done more for tne morals of the suburb than any similar omciai. Oa a vote of the Council five o4 the six members voted to retain Buchanan as deputy marshal, Councilman Brown voting to concur in Marshal Perry's action. It was held oy some of the citzens, wno were present at tne meeting in large numbers, that Marshal Ferry had revolted Buchanan's powers because he waged too active a campaign against the gamblers and saloon keepers of the suburb, but Mr. - Perry denies such a charge. " Dr. Morrow, of the Health Board,, report eJ that some provision should be made for disposing of tne carcasses of dead animals and other refuse which hid accumulated on the Sellers farm. He suted that he had seen in operation in St. Louis an apparatus to destroy such refuse, and asked tne Council to make an investigation of the matter. The matter of insuring the new cuy building occupied considerable of the time. Mayor Tolln read a schedule of the insurance rats made to him. The rate was $1.25 for ono year or about 15 cents far five years. It vras . argued that West Indianapolis was biing rated the same as suburbs which are entirely unprotected, but it was finally decided that the rate was fair, and Mayor Tohn was authorized to have the bulldins insured for $7,000 for five years. It was deeiaed to permit the Hovey Post, G. A. R., to use the Council room one night each week as a meeting place. ... . ' Deaths of a Dor. V Mrs. Martha Wallace, mother of Myrtla Overturf, is dead.

Smock. , - . t A Popular Loan. - To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: 1 Your editorial on a popular loan was ' a center shot; It hits the bull's-eye plump and square. . The President's plea: for fifty-year gold , bonds would, In . a . time of profound peace, bind the Nation to the payment in gold of a sum of money, $500,000,000 of principal and $750,000,000 of interest, a total of only $1,250,000,000 of gold. ; The people will not have it that way. What la needed la Immediate, relief, and the people would gladly come to the government's relief if shorttime bond3 in small denominations are authorized and they are permitted to take them. The , people who gave their sons to die to maintain national honor .' will give of their gold now to maintain the national credit. Permit me to suggest that if what we Republicans have contended for is true, that a reduction of rates of duty will always result in Increased importations, then it follows that so soon as the sugar and income schedules of the present tariff law become operative there will- be a surplus of revenue in the treasury. I have said thla over and over on the stump, and I express the same opinion now. I am certain that inside of 150 days the revenues of the government will equal its expenditures, and in a year will exceed them, without Including tha largely increased receipts from the woolen and other schedules. I think it certain that the sugar and income schedules will brin into the treasury $85,000,000 a year. Therefore, it is only a temporary loan the treasury need.1. Certainly ' there is enough common sense remaining in Congress to meet this emergency and provide the necessary relief. There would be no doubt about it if we had more patriotism and less partisanship in, our legislation. Short-time bonds, not to exceed five years, at 3 per cent., authorized to be Issued in denominations of $10, $20 and $50, and an appeal to the people would, as you well put It, furnish all the money needed In forty-eight hours. The people can always be relied .upon to stand by the government. Push the fight for a popular loan. J. B. CHEADLE.
