Two men found a badly decomposed body In a clump of willows at the foot of McCarty street and "White river yesterday afternoon. The body was lyinsr face dawnward. The Clothing was rotting. The body was removed to the establishment of Cohler & Murphy, where It was Identified later by the clothing-, as that of James Duffy, of No. 403 South West street, who has been missing since a week ago last Wednesday. The body was In such a condition that identification of the features was impossi ble, and It is doubtful If a post mortem examination can be held. Duffy was fortv-eizht years of age and left home in a bad humor. He had not been working and he wanted his wife to give him money for drink. She refused and he left the house mad, saying: "Good-bye. old gal." He did not return and the family be came alarmed. The police were notified, but the finding of the body yesterday led to the first information learned since the disappearance. The cause of death is a mystery. The indications point to suiciae, dui no weapons nor bottle was found near the body and If it was Huicid the means is unknown." There was a report last night that the throat was cut. but if such was the cape it could not be discovered. The coroner will make an examination to-day, to see if the skull was injured, but nothing can be told by the flesh. It Is -the opinion of the police that it was a suicide. Duffy leaves a widow and one. child. IS HE RETALIATING? GOV. ALTGELD REFUSES TO HONOR GOV. SIATTIIEYVS'S REQUISITION. Action of Hoosler Executive In Ilryan Case Recalled Indignant Clay County Officials. A slight breach of interstate comity came to light at the Statehouse, yesterday afternoon, which- occasioned considerable surprise among State officials. Last Tuesday Governor Matthews issued a requisition on the Governor of Illinois, and yesterday the document came back. Governor Altgeld had refused to honor it. and at a late hour yesterday evening . he made no explanation. The person named in the requisition was John Williams, who Is now in Illinois. Williams Is wanted at Brazil for criminal seduction, and the officers of Clay county are anxious to get possession of him. The crime was committed four years ago. A sheriTs deputy from Clay county procured the requisition and started immediately for Illinois, and until yesterday It was supposed that he had obtained his man. Yesterday afternoon the deputy prosecutor of Clay county came to the city and went to the. office 'of the Secretary of State. He complained bitterly of the action of Governor Altgeld, who he said had refused to" honor' the requisition and declined to explain his action. From the office of the Secretary of State the attorney went to the executive parlors,, where he made complaint to Governor Matthews. The Governor could not understand why the requisition was not recognized In Illinois, and promised to look Into the difficulty. Some time ago a requisition came to Governor Matthews from Governor Altgeld for the arrest of David Bryan, and for a time the Indiana Governor declined to honor It. He understood that Bryan's difficulty had resulted from a land trade of some character, and he questioned the legality of the step takn by the Illinois authorities. It is thought by some that Governor Matthews's temporary refusal to honor the . Bryan requisition created some displeasure on the part of the Illinois Governor. "I don't understand why. the usual courtesy was not extended in this case." said Governor Matthews, yesterday, "although I have no other idea than that Governor Altgeld has1 some good reason for his action. This Bryan matter could have made no difference, because I signed the other requisition. Governor Altgeld nd myself are on the best of terms, and I dare say I will get a letter to-morrow explaining the whole matter. This crime was committed four years ago. and it may be that the Illinois Governor thinks that the Clay county court had ample time in which to bring an indictment against Williams. Of course, I am only speculating, but I fully expect that the matter will be cleared up to-day." GOSSIP OF THE T0W With the manufacture of Ice came the claim that the artificial article had the merit ol being unusually clean and free from dirt, and the lcemakers have carried this idea of cleanliness as far as possible. Manager Dithmer, of one of the local Ice companies, conceived the idea that the appearance of the men who deliver the ice is no small factor in obtaining patrons, perhaps on the same line that the breweries have a keen eye to business in employing fat, healthy men to deliver their beer. On the roof.of-the plant which Mr. Dithmer has in charge, he constructed a large bath tub, with shower bath and accessories, and now the employes, particularly the men who deliver ice, are required to make frequent use of the tub. He has. the Idea that clean men VlelJvering- clean ice attracts patrons. "I noticed a story In the Journal last Sunday," said the man from Terre Haute, "about a fastidious tramp's appearance on the North Side. 'That reminds me of Bill Jones over at the Hut. Old Bill had been a pretty good man In his time, but booze and hard luck brought him to the fostering arms of the county and one day the poorhouse farm . wagon drove up at his 'front door. Poor Bill had been waiting for the wagon; his ' red bandana, stuffed with all his belongings, was lying on the ground close by: hSs chin was resting on his gnarled wood cane. . " 'Now, Bill, cried out one of the neighbors, 'don't let 'em bulldoze you out to the farm. You are entitled to your board free and they dassen't make you work. Stand up for your rights. "Tears came in Bill's eyes for a moment, then his face set in hard lines. He untied his red bandana and disclosed his possessions. " 'So, they dassen't make me work out there, he whined, 'and what's more they ain't gone to. I'm going to read my book all day long (holding up a copy of Tennyson.) An if they try to take it away from me, I'll ue this on em. Bill held up a little 22-calibre revolver, which, with the copy of Tennyson, constituted his entire fortune. He was well protected. 'No, Bill didn't work at the poor farm much. The third day he was out there he picked off a cabbage leaf while in the garden and ate It. They had been troubled with caterpillars a good doal that year and Bill swallowed Paris green enough to make a meal for a hundred caterpillars. They found Bill dead In his room the next morning." " W. J. Dory's Attempt nt Suicide. ,W. J. Dory, of this city, attempted sui cide by cutting his throat from ear to ear, at Fortvllle, early yefterday morning. Cards found in his pocket led to his Identity and Indicated that he lived at No. 531 East Seventh street, and that hi3 father lives at No. 24 Garflell place Dory did live at the number given on Seventh street until a few weeks ago. He was a stationary engineer, recently employed at the Atlas engine works, but he lost his position because of drink. Not long ago his wife secured a di vorce from him because of his drunken ness. Since then he has made frequent appeals to her to live with him again, promising to reform. Mrs. Dory told him to retorm. and then come to her. Laat Mondav Dory tailed upon his wife and asked her to intercede for him at the Atlas engine work?. She refused to go, . Dory called ' again Wednesday night, and said good-bye to her and their children. Yesterday Mrs. Dory received a letter written by him before he left for Fortvllle. In it he hints cf suicide. Drink, he said, was the cause of his ruin, pnd he 'wrote that it was impossible for him to live without his wife. He admonished his son to never drink, and sent love to nia d.iushttrr. Dory's father is named William Dcry and he is a well-known citizen. Diward Dory, a brother, owns a drug store cn Bcllefontaine street.

CHANGED THEIR TACK

DEMOCRATS' POSITION IX MLLIVAX COtXTY APPORTIONMENT CASE. 31 r. Ferd "Winter Discusses the Recent Bosrvell Case Judge Hrovrn's Flndlnfr Compared. Senator Wishard went to Sullivan yesterday to read the complaint filed to set aside the apportionment law passed by the last Legislature. A telegram was received from him during the evening, directed to Mr. Ferd Winter, who was one of the attorneys In the suit to overthrow the gerrymander act of 1831. an effort, it will be recalled, that succeded. A Journal reporter called on Mr. Winter last night to learn something of the nature of this complaint. In response to the question, Mr. Winter said: "The suit Is one brought by Ferd E. Bosler against the ccunty clerk, the sheriff and the auditor of Sullivan county to re strain them from issuing the proclamation for an election under the apportionment act of 1SD5 for legislative purposes. It Is alleged by the plaintiff that the last enumeration of population was made in 16S9, and that under the requirements of the Constitution the apportionment for legislative purposes was made In 1S31: that when this law was held to be unconstitutional, the succeeding Legislature passed another apportionment, which, the complaint alleges, is still in force. It is further set forth that the Legislature of 1895 passed an act over the veto of the Governor in 1895, which repealed the law of 1S93, and then enacted an apportionment act. It is shown in the complaint that the apportionment of 1893 abolished the legislative districts of Sullivan, Vigo and Vermillion counties, which hsd been established by the apportionment of 1&J3, and this deprives plaintiff and other citizens of the rights and privileges of electors to which they are entitled under the Constitution. That Is the substance of the complaint." "What Is the theory of the attack upon the law of 1813?" "It is," resumed Mr. Winter, "that the Legislature of 1895 had no power under the Constitution to repeal the apportionment of 1893, or to enact an apportionment law, it being claimed that the act of 1893 was a constitutional and a valid apportionment. It is also claimed that the power of the Legislature was exhausted, and that it has no authority until 1897 to pass a new apportionment, when a new enumeration shall have been made. This suit is based on a theory directly contrary to that announced by Judge Brown, who held that what the majority of the Supreme Court decided In the Parker case, which came up from Henry county, was obiter dictum, and that the question as to the constitutionality of the act was never really before the court, and that therefore the act of 1891 had never been declared unconstitutional. If he had taken any other view he would have been compelled to hold the act of 1893 void, for that contained all the objections which were found In the act of lS'd. and which caused it to be declared void, except that Brown county was not placed In two senatorial districts. In Bosler's complaint it is expressly alleged that the law of 1891 was decided to be unconstitutional. This allegation was, of course, necessary, because if the law of 1S91 was not unconstitutional and void the Legislature of 1893 had no more power to pass an apportionment law than the Legislature of 1895. The Legislature of 1895 had exactly the same power to- pass a law making an apportionment as that of 1893. The right In both cases depends upon the fact that there was no valid apportionment law in existence, the Supreme Court having declared the apportionment of 1891 void. When the Legislature of 1893 passed a new law It recognized that the constitutional right and duty to make apportionments is continuing, and is not exhausted until a valid law has been enacted. The proposition that the enactment of an apportionment law at the time of the constitutional period exhausts the power of the Legislature over the subject when the law enacted is void because in violation of the Constitution, is utterly untenable. An unconstitutional law is no law at all. It does not bind a succeeding Legislature. The mandate of the Constitution to make the apportionment in accordance with Its provisions 19 in full force until K valid law is enacted. It is the duty of thb succeeding Legislature to enact such a law. The Democratic Court of Appeals of New York so held, when there were objections by Republicans that the apportionment law hart been passed by a latr Legislature than the one prescribed by the Constitution. The fact' that Judge Brown held the law of 1893 valid, amounts to nothing except as between the parties to the suit. If the law is. in fact, unconstitutional, there is no doubt that the Legislature of 1895 had the right to repeal it and to pass a new law." "Is this without precedent In Indiana?" "There is nothing new in the Legislature repealing unconstitutional laws. There are other instances in which this has bjen done in Indiana without question. While the Legislature has the right to express its opinion as to the validity of a law by repealing it and enacting a new one in its place, the final decision, of course, rests with the Supreme Court. The sole question, therefore, in this case, is whether the apportionment Of 1893 was valid. If not. then it was rightfully repealed, and the law of 1893. If it Is In accordance with the requirements of the Constitution, is valid. It is not claimed In the Bosler suit that the law of 1895 violates the Constitution In any respect, except that It was not passed at the proper time. On the other hand, the apportionment of 1893 was as outrageous a gerrymander as was that of 1891, which the Supreme Court decided invalid. In that caso it was decided that the failure to allow a separate representative to Jay county, which of itself had more than sufficient population than was needed to entitle It to one Representative, and the manner in which certain districts were formed, as well as gross inequalities in the population of many districts, were violations of the Constitution and made the act void. The act of 1893 copied the act of 1891 exactly in all there respects, except only In confining Brown county to one senatorial district. Unless the Supreme Court overrules the decision in the Parker case the act of 1893 must be held to be void, and the act of 1S95 would therefore be valid. One noticeable thing in bringing the Bosler suit under Democratic auspices is tho complete abandonment of the cUlm always heretofore persistently made, that the courts had no Jurisdiction to inquire into the validity of apportionment laws." The Democratic aptness at expediency has swung them around to a position exactly the opposite to that assumed In the Parker case." Fltssreriilil rnrchnslnir Lund. P. H. Fitzgerald, who Is in Wilcox county, Georgia, buying land for his soldiers col ony, writes that hs has purchased plenty of ground, at J3.50 an acre. The lands contain improved plantations, orchards and vineyards. The health of the people in that section Is good, he says, and the crops are bountiful. The soil is a dark gray loam, situated on a clay-pebble subsoil. The county seat of Wilcox county is 140 miles west of Savannah and seventy-five miles north of the Florida line. Knight's Ilenson In Danger.

It la feared that he will lose hi3 reason. The two men were neighbors. Mr. Wherle was late coming home and he took a short route through Mr. Knight's yard. Mr. Knight mistook hira for a burglar and shot at him and when he discovered his mistake he was prostrated by the shock. A Herord-Ilrcnklnff linn. CLEVELAND. O.. July 19. A special train, consisting of an engine and four cars, from Pittsburg to Cleveland over the Pittsburg & Lake Erie road, carrying 160 passengers, including Mayor McKenna. about one hundred wheelmen and a number of newspaper correspondents of Pittsburg. made a phenomenally fast run between the two cities this afternoon. The distance between the two cities over the rf ute mentioned is 157 miles, and the actual running time of the train was two hours and twenty-nine minutes, lowering all previous records by nearly an hour. The party came to wltne the start to-morrow morning of the bicycle road race between this citv and Pittsburg. In which Cleveland and Pittsburg teams will participate. Suicide of a Murderer. SPOKANE.

His Wife Wants the Irvingtoii Mystery Farther Invetia;ated. Yesterday Coroner. Castor received the following telegram from Mrs. F. A. Cronacher, the wife of the. missing banker and Jersey cattle breeder of Ironton. O.: "Investigate thoroughly the report of dismembered remains of body found in a box between boards near Irvington. Description tallies with that of F. A. Cronacher. Answer." Coroner Castor made some further inquiries regarding the few human bones found in an orange box, and he does not think they were those of Cronacher. There was a skull and the bones of two arms and one leg, and as they were cleaned of flesh, no one could Identify any one by them. Cronacher disappeared from this city May 29. having come here to attend a cattle sale. It might be possible that he was murdered here and his body cut to pieces and a few of the bones buried near Irvington, but there is nothing to Indicate that such was done. There are many persons who believe that the finding of the bones has more significance than has been given it by the coroner and detectives. THE CLIQUE GOBBLES SCHOOL BOARD 3IAJORITY CONTROLS ALL THE COM3HTTEES. No Outsiders Allowed In the One That Control Contracts for Furniture and Supplies.

On each of these committees the clique has a majority, while on the Important fur niture and supplies committee the clique has gobbled the entire membership. The committee oh furniture and supplies recommended that contracts for the ensuing year be awarded,' as .follows: For printing necessary blanks ' Wl B. Burford, $87.50; rebinding school books, A. G. Brandt & Co., $283; supplies, including stationery, blackboard erasers, Ink; pens and crayon, Baker & Thornton, Journal Job Printing Company, Bowen & Merrill, A. H.

The contracts . will not be formally awarded until- theJjaxt . meeting, of the board. -i The board's attorney, C. A. Dryer, submitted a communication advising the board to institute a. suit--against the township trustee for that part of the dog tax fund due the schools for the years 1691, 1832 and 1852. The attorney ' estimated that the board's proportionate share of the fund would be J12.000. He thought the suit should be brougut before the expiration of the term of the present trustee. Commissioner Hendrickson objected to the suit. He declared that this dog tax fund had always been a prolific source of revenue for the School Board attorneys. On motion of Commissioner Roth the board voted to brlnsr the suit...A communication from the school trustees of WoodruffrPlace asked that the board renew the contract which permits the school children of. the suburb to attend the city schools. , The trustees agreed to pay to the treasurer of the board the entire school revenue collected In Woodruff Place, for 1895, which amounts to about $1,200. The matter was referred to the finance committee. Some of the commissioners thought that the Woodruff Place people should pay more than they did last year for school privileges, since they would enjoy the benefits, of the new training school. Commissioner Hendrickson at the close of the meeting Indulged a little satirical thrust at President Martindale. "I would like to. say," observed the commissioner, with a twinkle of the eye, "that the president has not yet acknowledged his election to the presidential chair. I think this Is an opportune time for the president to make a speech, and if he does not, the commissioners miy think that h is not grateful for the honor done him. Will the president talk to us briefly? We all feel as if" "Move we adjourn," sang, out Commissioner Roth, who saw that the president was not enjoying Mr. Hendrickson's humor. Before the latter could proceed the members left their desks and the president's speech was deferred. THE CUBAN REVOLUTION. More Allea-ed Victories by the Spanlards Bandit . Shot by Gomes.

''If people should refuse to receive thir notes, the banks would clmply present them to the United States treasury for redemption and receive legal-tender notes, which they would continue to use in their business. There are only $211,000,000 of national bank notes in circulation, while there are $950,000,000 of other kinds of money outstanding." Sovereign's manifesto, which has not been Issued, will be addressed to the Knights of Labor, the Farmers' "Alliance, the People's party. Reform Club and kindred societies. It will recite "the wrongs of the tolling thousands, , and thefcr Bufferings at the hands of the money-making power," and call for a boycott on national bank notes in all dealings between individuals. It is to go into effect Sept. 1. An advance draft of the circular or manifesto was seen last night. It holds that "the national banks are resposlble for the destruction of the greenbacks, the payment of bonds in coin, the funding acts, the demonetization of silver, and all the corrupt financial legislation In this country for the past thirty years. They have boycotted and discriminated against every kind of money that promised relief to the debtor class and prosperity to the industrial masses. They are boycotters of the most cruel and merciless kind. This boycott will precipitate the great conflict with the people on one side and the banks on the other, and the issues will be as sharply drawn as In the struggle of Andrew Jackson with the old United States bank sixty years ago. It will force, the corporations and every form of private raononpoly to take sides in the contest. The struggle of 1806 must result in victory for the common people or the hope of American liberty is lost, and recovery impossible through methods now sanctioned by law. On and after Sept. 1, 1895, let every Knight of Labor and every person whose love of Justice Is above the sordid interests of the tyrants refuge to accept national bank notes in payment for wages, produce, or in payment of any debt or obllf ration not made necessary by the limited egal-tender qualities of the notes. Boycott notes of national banks," says the circular, in conclusion. Mr. Sovereign emphatically stated that It wap obligatory in. every Knight of Labf to obey the order after the date named. "Not only that," said he. "but we expect similar orders to be Issued by the head of all sympathetic organizations." CAPTURED BY CANADIANS. American Fishermen in Trouble "Ac cident" During the Excitement. DULUTH. Minn., July 19. A report comes from Crane lake of an encounter there between American citizens employed by the Arlon Fish Company, with headquarters at. that place, and Canadian officials. The trouble arose "over the Canadians taking" up and confiscating the nets set in Namekon lake by the fish company on the grounds that they were placed in Canadian waters. Eight men belonging to the Arion company started out in search of their nets, when suddenly three boats filled with Canadian officers darted out from behind an Island and pursued them. The little steamer May Carter, on her. way to Crane lake, came along, and the captain put on all the steam possible to rescue the fishermen. In the excitement the Carter struck one of the Canadian boats, smashing it in pieces and spilling four officials into the lake. Three of the fishermen also fell overboard, but no one was drowned. The Carter picked up all the fishermen except H. E. Fincke, Emil Emis and William Sim, who were captured by the Canadians and taken to Fort Francis. WEATHER BUREAU FIGURES.
