Tltonmn Give Ills Version of tbe Ilrnvrl. The man who shot Daniel McCarthy at the Nickel-plate saloon Saturday night was arrested at 3:30 o'clock yesterday morning by detectives Stout and McGuff. He gave his name as James T. Thomas, which he said was his right name, instead of Adams, as the police supposed. He was arrested when he returned to the saloon, as the police suppose, to get some of his property before making an effort to get out of the city. He claims, however, that he had not left the vicinity of the saloon from the time of the shooting to the time of his arrest. Hvj says he hid in the outhouse while the police searched for him. Thomas'" version of the story is not greatly different from that gathered by the police in their investigation Saturday night. He is the porter for W. A. S:out, owner of the saloon. In the rear of the building, in a separate room, is a pool tabio owned by Stout, and in one end of this room is John Venable's luncli counter. Thomas says he was in this rear room, having closed the saloon, when he heard the no!ie of scuttling outside. He opened the door and saw a man fall right In front of hini from a number of blows dealt him by a crowd of young men. He says he picked the man up and dragged him inside and got him on his Xctt, and thwn the crowd turned upon him. "You waat to take it up, do you, you dirty, black ?" ho inard one of the men shout. "Well. then, we ll soon fix your clock." With that, he says, they tried to force their way Into the door, but he shoved them back, and then they Ltgan the fuiiiiade with bowiuVrr. The room ihows that many fctones w.re thrown from the outside. Kvery window id smashed and furniture and dishes were demo.isjutl.

BREATH OF AMRCHY

FICHCn TIIItGAT MADE AT TOJILI.V SOX II Lli 11IIYAN MECTIXG. D. II. Smith Tredlctn a Helen of Tervor Lnlesfi the Conntry Puts Bryan In the White Ilonse. E. V. DEBS FAILED TO APPEAR A niG SUNDAY ACTIIESCn n.D GATHERED to iieau nisi. Other Popocratic Orators, "Who "Were Sent There, Preached the Doctrine of Repudiation and II lot. "The condition that confronts the American people to-day is no different from the condition that confronted the people of France efore the French revolution, and if you will not have a reign of terror, you must put in power this man, William Jennings Bryan." The above threat was made last night at the so-called labor mass meeting held at Tomlinson Hall, arranged by Tom Gruelle and a committee of kindred spirits, at which It was advertised that. Eugene V. Debs would speak. As Debs did not put in his appearance, two lesser lights were substituted. The words above quoted were uttered by an agitator who calls himself D. It Smith. lie Is one of the 1C0 young men who have been educated by the Bimetallic Leagua and crammed with freesilver doctrine. Several weeks ago he came here at the Instance of the Popocratic committee and registered at the Grand Hotel, where he has since boaided,, all his expenses having been paid by the committee. Ho has with him a companion. Together they have started street corner arguments, and, after attracting crowds, Smith has dealt out free-silver arguments. In this he is obeying the orders of his masters, the silver mine owning syndicate, otherwise styling itself the Bimetallic League. Smith dubs himself a traveling man. Sometimes he says that his home Is In Chicago; other times that It is San Francisco, or Cincinnati. Last night In his speech, cut short on account of the rapid exodus which followed the announcement that Debs would not appear at all, he said that his home Is in New York. Although It was known on Saturday that Debs would not be here, or at any rate that his coming was exceedingly Improbable, that fact was carefully concealed from the big audience that assembled In Tomlinson Hall, and the crowds were given to understand that Debs had not arrived, but was expected on the 9 o'clock train. The committee knew that there Is no train from Chicago between 6:10 o'clock In the evening and 3 o'clock Jn the morning. Some of the men In the crowd who knew this fact went away, declaring that the announcement that Debs would be here was a fake, pure and simple, and that It had simply been made for the purpose of getting laboring men thero to listen to such revolutionary and inflammatory utterances as that made by Smith. The Central Labor Union washes its hands of the whole affair.f Robert E. Groff, of that body, says that it had no hand In arranging the meeting as an organization. Mr. Groff presided at the meeting, but he explained this fact by saying that he simply came as a spectator and consented to preside at the last moment. Beside tho Inflammatory Smith, a lengthy exhibition of word jugglery was given by Seymour Stedman, said to be a member of the American ltallway Union, and one of tne telegraph operators who went through the long strike. He is youthful in appearance, but has a good voice and a command of words almcst as ilowery as those of the Boy Orator, whom he seeks to emulate in every respect. The resemblance is even more striking when it comes to facts and arguments, of which Stedman's orations ate barren and sterile as tho Sahara desert, to which he had occasion to refer in trying to answer Gen. Harrison's assertion that a double standard cannot exist. Stedman came here Saturday with Vice President Hogan, of the A. U. XL. and remained over for the express purIose of tilling Mr. Debs's engagement. Stedman let the cat out of the bag at the close of his talk, when ho said that Debs had decided to remain in Chicago to "shadow" General Harrison. "You know he's good at that sort of thing." said Stedman with a silly simper. Intended to be facetious, but which fell tlat. Another explanation for Debs's nonappearance was made by a member of Tom Gruelle's committee, who said that the labor leader remained In Chicago, where he could do more good. It was while Mr. GrotT explained to the audience that he himself had been 'disappointed by not havln the pleasure of listening to Debs, that Smith pushed himself to the front and beKan a tirade against the general order of things which ended in the startling words given at the head of this article. Before reaching that point he paid his respects to the Republican party. Smith, if that Is his name, has a husky voice and had almost to scream to make himself heard above th noise of the hundreds of people who were leaving In "disgust after they found they had been befooled into believing Debs was to appear before them. To emphasize his fiery words Smith bobs down and up again like a Jack-In-a-box. That he has made the mcst of the time he upent In the Bimetallic League's school, from the mine owners' standpoint, "the speaker made plain. Amidst the noise and commotion made by the audience thJit was rnpldly deserting him. t?mith made the threat that carries with it tho Inference that he and other agitators of his ilk will go about the country further iniiamlng and enraging the anarchistic spirit If his Idcl Is not fet up In tho highest seat of the Nation. The sentiment was met with some applause, but some of tho older men. who seemed to comprehend the full horror masked under those words, gravely shook their heads and seemed about to hiss. Stedman was less revolutionary than the speaker that followed him. He Indulges in catchy words and, was interrupted by frequent applause, especially when he mouthed Bryan's name, made thrusts at the Republican party or heaped abuse on Cleveland. USED A BRICK. Mrs. DufTy Defends Her Choice for Presidential Honors. John Mulryan, of 346 West Pearl street, and Bridget Duffy, of tha same street, had a little political debate yesterday at noon, in which a brick in the hands of Mrs. Duffy served as a forceful argument. Mulryan said "something not complimentary to the presidential candidate favored by Mrs. Duffy and the latter let fly the brick. It caught Mulryan full la the face and laid him out. He was taken to the otneo of Dr Elsenbelss. where he remained in a semil conscious condition all afternoon. He has a big gash in the cheek and his nose is broken. Mrs. Duffy was arrested by patrolman Butcher and Sergeant Laporte. HAD THE OPIUM HABIT. A Woman Found on Street .Near Res. cue Home MUvlon. A woman was found lying on the sidewalk near the Rescue Home Mission, on South street, by a patrolman last night about l'J o'clock. She was In a seml-con-scious condition, and had In her hands a vial of powdered opium. She was taken Into the mission and Dr. Sammons, of the college dispensary, was called. She gave her name as Mrs. Scavennaugh, aged fortylive, living at 120 South Noble street, but at-first was not Inclined to tell how she cam In that condition, though she asserted that she had not been attempting suicide. Finally sho stated that sne had been drinking, ifi the odor of liquor on her breath, Indicatid. and beinr addicted to the onlum hablf had been taking a llttU of the druff

as sho was walking along- the Btreet. The opium and liquor did not mix well, and when she fell over a cellar door 6he could not get up again. After a little work the doctor brought her around all right, but she was too weak to walk, -md was taken to her home In the ambulance. MORE BOODLE ARRIVES

CHAIRMAN 31 ART IX DIVIDES UP ANOTHER 100,000 WAD. Xetterrllle Got a Dig: Pile for Use In the Gus nelt Snld Wae Earners Could De Bought In Droves. That second bunch of boodle put up by the silver-mine baron3 for Indiana arrived yesterday morning by special messenger from Jones. There was an even $100,000 in the bundle, making $223,0u0 that has come within two days for the corruption of voters in Indiana for tho benefit of the mine owners of the rotten boroughs of the West. On Friday Chairman Martin wired to members of the State committee and others through whom he wanted to distributo the corruption fund, and they began to swarm in Saturday evening. That night and all day yesterday the chairman of the Popocratic State committee was the busiest man in town. Saturday night the distribution took place in Rooms 12 and 11, Grand Hotel, but yesterday and last evening Mr. Martin did business In his own suite upon the top floor of the cottage addition, known as suite No. 1S3. The biggest bunch that went outside of Marlon county which, as usual, gets the big end of it was that carried off by J. J. Netterville for use in tho gas belt. Ntterville has succeeded in persuading Martin that the wago earners of the gas towns can be bought In droves. They do not regard it as safe to buy them to vote the Popocratic ticket, for if they ever ge; into the booth they will vote for McKtnley, but the pian to b followed is to hire them to stay at horoo or go alishing. The speakers who have been plugging away for silver and had got nothing for it but expenses up to date, were about the hotel yesterday, and Fiavius J. Van Vorhis was a conspicuous hgure la the lobby. Martin had hia troubles all day. When the State candidates learned that the boodle was on tap they made a strong demand that the money they had paid in as assessments be refunded to them, since they had been buncoed out of all hope of election by the fusion deal with the Populists. -Martin tried to persuade them that Chairman Gowdy had squared this account with his letter on the count, but they could not see It that way, and continued to wear him out. He did not let go, however. The last man to get his feet in the trough was no less a persona.ee than Julius Rosenhelmer. chairman of tho Populist State Committee. Jullu? was "treed" in Martin's rooms by a Journal reporter early in the evening and compelled to stay there for over two hours, for, unfortunately, the only way out is through the lobby. When a card was sent up to the room Julius began figuring upon dropping out of a window, but he thought better of it, and stayed until 11:30, when he made a bold dash through the lobby and got away. He wouldn't stop to say how much he got for the Populist speakers, how much he got for personal services, how m-ch for the committee of thirteen or anything about It. RAILROAD MEN'S APPEAL EMPLOYES BESEECH TIIE VOTERS TO STAND BV SOUND MONEY. Address Issued and Slcned by Officers of the Railroad Employes' SoundMoney Clubs. The railroad employes of the county have addressed an apeal to the voters. It Is slgnfd by the following officers of the Railway Men's Sound-money Club of Indianapolis: A. Dallcr. president: J. Averill. vice president: M. U Matt3tie:d. vice president; J. I. Ferguson, vice president; H. G. Kernodle, vice president: F. C. Worley. vice president; J. K. Logan. vice president; J. R. Cavanagh. vice president; U. G. Stofer, vice president; L. Bowman, secretary; W. B. Poland, treasurer. The Keystone Sound-money Club is represented as follows: B. C. Logan, president; J. R. Scott, vice president; F. H. Bade, vice president; J. S. Moore, vice president; J. Bowers, vice president: J. S. I'atterso. vice president: O. Deem, vice president; P. L. Bennett, vice president; li. D. Morgan, vice president: J. Farrell. vice president; C. E. McLaughlin, secretary: W. L. Wilt, assistant secretary; H. B. Reynolds, treasurer. The Big Four Railway Men's Republican Club signed It through the following oliiccrs J. Q. Hicks, president; D. Greenwood, vice president: N. K. Shaw, vice president; V.'. 11. Hull, vice president; H. D. Harris, vice president; J. Logan, secretary; J. Q. Van Winkle, treasurer; A. D. Shaw, marshr.l. The appeal Is as follows:. "We. the undersigned executive officers of the sound-money railway organizations of Indianapolis, have been authorized by the membership of said organizations to publish the following appeal to all voters of Marion county. 'We hereby appeal to all citizens of Marion county to unite with us in defense of our wages, our homes, the prosperity of our State and the honor of our country. "We are employes of the lndianapolls railway lines. It has been asserted, not once, but many times, that In advocating the cause of honest money in this campaign we are being 'coiirced and 'intimidated' by our superior officers. It is charged that we are gulued In our political actions by subsevience to the companies' interests and fear of oiflclal displeasure. This Is not only totally false, but it is a gross and gratuitous insult to our manhood and our Intelligence. We are men, not cowards. We are citizens, not slaves. We resent the Insult which is offered to us and propose to show our resentment at the polls. "We shall vote as a unit for sound money and we shall elo It because, of our own free will anl judgment, we are convinced that the free and unlimited coinage of sliver at the ratio of 16 to 1 would bo injurious to our Individual Interests as wage earners, detrimental to the welfare of the State and disastrous to the United States as a Nation. We have not come to this decision unthinkingly. We have reached the conclusion which we have deliberately, and, having reached it, we earnestly appeal to our fellow-citizens to stand with us. "The free coinage of silver at a ratio of l'i to 1 must result In a depreciated currency and a cheap dollar. The silver advocates confess as much when they claim that the prices of all commodities would rise when measured in our coin. We do not want cheap dollars. As Individuals we are entitled to good dollars for our good work. As a Nation, this best country on earth, is entitled to the best currency. "The depreciation of our silver coinage must inevitably drive all gold out of the country. History proves tnts and nobody denies It. All our debts abroad are payable in gold only. To pay those debts would take twice their face value in 50cent dollars. If, as a Nation, we tried to pay these debts thus doubled in value, it would be certain bankruptcy. If we did not try. but insisted on paying every debt ddllnr for dollar In our depreciated coin, it would b repudiation. We do not wish to nee tho Nation a bankrupt, nor do we wish to see the stars and stripes flaunted before all the world us an emblem of repudiation and a badge of commercial dishonesty. "Thirty-five years ago. when Lincoln nllecl for troops the railway men of the West responded so that many of the railways could hardly be operated. The danger which threatens the country to-dftv is, we earnestly believe, no less grave than It was then, and once again, we. as railway men, propose to respond to our country's call. "We appeal to you to stand by ns. We apneal to you as our friends and comrades and as fllow-citlzens of a land that wo all love. There is no 'enemy's country in the United States. We are all one !eople. whatever State we live in or whatever our calling may be, and we appeal to you we call on you we Implore you to stand shoulder to shoulder with us now. We ask it for the sako of our country. Wo ask it for our own sakes. to protect our own wages, our livelihood and our homes. We ask it. too, for your sakes. In behalf of your own business. In behalf of all the Industries and commerce of the American people. We appeal to you to vote for sound money, for honor and for prosperity.'

EFFECT OF THE PARADE

SATURDAY'S HUGE AFFAIR MAKES REPUBLICANS CONFIDENT. It Was the Talk of the City Yesterdny -Chairman Younc's Estimate of Result In This County. Republicans everywhere in the city were Jubilant yesterday over the results of the great street parade Saturday night, and the intense feeling of suspense that has been felt was greatly relieved as a result of the wonderful showing of Republican strength. Predictions of the greatest Republican landslide ever experienced in Indiana were freely made yesterday. While the Republicans were Jubilant, the Popocrats donned the long faces they seem bound to wear from now until McKinley's Inauguration. Many Democrats yesterday reluctantly admitted that the Bryanic cause is a lost cause, and more than one who has kept a bold front admitted that the poor showing made by the Popocrats, compured with the immense outpouring of McKinley enthusiasm, is an augur of the utter defeat of flatten! and repudiation tomorrow. The dismal failure of the Popocratic attempts to make a creditable showing made plain two facts: First,' that there were vastly more voters ready to parade for McKinley than Bryan, and then again, that the great majority of people not actually participating in either parade were much more anxious to seo the former demonstration than the latter. Those Popocrats who have pretended to believe that Marlon county would go against the Republicans were ready to throw down their cards yesterday and get out of the game entirely, with the exception of some few of tho leaders who realize that defeat at this time means their permanent retirement into the political background. Speaking of this class of desperate Popocratic politicians, a prominent Republican remarked that they must be closely watched In the elections to-morrow. "These men," said he, "are ready to go to any length. They have been reinforced a 1th a big supply of boodle on the evo of tho election, which, it is evident, is intended for corrupt purposes. Look out for bribery, corruption and attempts at Intimidation." "How about the committee of one hundred that ha been organized to 'preserve the purity of the ballot?' " "That's the greatest farce Tom Taggart ever tried to spring on Indianapolis." People going to church yesterday morning, others riding on the street cars and men resting in the bosom of their families preparatory to the great battle of the ballots to-morrow, discussed the parade Saturday night. It would be unkind to the dejected Popocrats to repeat all tho disparaging things said of their feeble efforts and ignominious failure to overshadow the closing rally of the Republicans, who already scent victory In the air. Universally it was conceded that for oeautirul ehects, itrength of numbers and intense enthusiasm tho Republican parade has never been equaled. Indiana has always been regarded as one of the liercest battle grounds in presidential campaign years. Yesterday one of the oldest voters that will go to tho polls to-morrow and stamp tho ea?le square said that he ri members no such campaign since the war. He predicts the greatest landslide In the history of not vnly Marion county, but the State as well. Others who have returned from long campaign tours bring the same good news. W. L. Taylor returned yesterday from a six weeks' campaign. lie says that his last meetings were In the northern part of the State. In all the time he has been out he has had no disappointments, and the crowds in all the country places have been enthusiastic and apparently determined to strike a blow at the monster of free coinage and repudiation that will prove its eternal quietus. Mr. Taylor says that he expects a landslide to-morrow. After the parade Saturday night the hoies of Republicans began to rise rapidly, and conservative men who have been counting on a majority for the Republican county ticket of two or three thousand now say that they will not be surprised if it Is double or even thrice that amount. The talk of coercion in which the Popocratic organs have so much delighted to revel, it is said, was knocked Into a cocked hat Saturday night. "The thing that Impressed me most in tho Republican turnout," said one who had been an onlooker, "was. the Intense pride the men seemed to feel In having the opportunity to show their colors. I looked at them closely, trying to catch sight of the sullen look or disgusted air that coerced men must wevar. No man who was forced against hl3 inclinations to march could have borne the air of triumph every man bore. They walked and acted like thousands of victors taking part in a triumphal march. Several times 1 heard whole companies of them singing march songs, pome times with a. refrain hbout McKinley being the man, an 1 at other times coupling references to Salt river with Bryan's name." NOT LESS THAN C,G00. Clinlrrann Yoans'N Estimate of McKinley Plurality in Marlon County. Chairman Young, of th Marlon county Republican committee, was asked last night for a statement of what he thought the vote in this county would be. He said: "We will elect the entire county ticket. Including six members of the Legislature and three Senators and a Representative to Congress. This means that the plurality In this county will chjc the election of the joint Senator and Representative and the Coneris-sman The plurality for the McKimey electors wiP not be lew than 6.VHJ and for tho county ticket not less than li.Ouo. "The organization in this county was never in belter shi pe than it has been tills year. Tho campaign bean early and the committee was actively at work before it te usual to do much of the hard lighting. Without meaning to disparage the work or the committees In the past, I think I can truthfully say that we never had a committee before that was composed of mn who put their hearts in tho wcrk ns this one. From the beplnning there has not been a jar to interfere with the work; evry man has shown his full appreciation of the great importance of hard work and has not shirked his duty in the least. "Then, I think, we are in good luck In the matter of tho "tilctlon of election oilicers. Mr. Hawkins says ho never Instructed a lot of election officers that seemed more Intelligent or willing and anxious to krew the law and iheir fu'l duty. Most ot them were already pretty thoroughly informed, and their questions showed that they had glvon the matter a great deal of study. "This Ins truly been a campaign of education. There never has been a campaign in which so much literature has bejn sent out by tho committees or in which there was such an eager elemand for It. Everybody seemed anxious to learn. At tho te ginning cf tho campaign there was a large number of voters of both parties who were undecided; they never had an opportunity to study the currency question, and to mcst peoplo the c.prcssicu 'free silver h:d an attraction, but they went to work and now I am confident that the fallacy is gene from all but those who are the rankest partisans onU will not -study lotn sld. "Aj to speakers, we ha3 had more Jn thrleld than ever before, and speakers who could talk -entertainingly. Every schoolhouse has bet-n visited, and then we narrowed it down to the neighborhood meeting. This has been done without a brasband display, and has been mere effective for that reason Our speakers were not all thoroughly familiar with the question wh.?n the campaign oper.'tl, and tney had to study it. In this w ay the peop have been given something that was fresh and that they fully appreciated. Every dny brlnjs more people to our sld particularly among" th? leaders of the eld I)emo?ratl': party. "A power In this campaign of education was the round-money newspapers, and they are many. They have given the committee assistance such as was never given before. They have argued tho case on nil tides and given many good thoughts, which were enlarged upon by the campaign speakers. With such a campaign in tnis State, it Is Impossible that we should lose." A LIE OX Mil. OVER STREET. Popocrats Preparing to Circulate a Forcery Tw-NlRltt. At the close of a campaign it Is the usual custom of certain of the over-zealous leaders of Democracy, now called Popocrats, to hatch out some scheme that they think will Injure the opposition candidates and spring it on the people when it is too late for the lies to be denied. It was learned lite last night that such a scheme Is now on Toot and will pe executed to-night, ua-

L P less this statement scares the perpetrators of it into refraining. Tho scheme is to Hood this congressional district with copies of alleged or forged attldavits stating that lLer.resoTitatlve Overstreet eaid in a speech at Kdinburff. delivered Oct. 12. that "You (Kepublicans) should keei away from a Democrat as you would a polecat." This lie v.-as first printed by tho Franklin Democrat last Friday. Friday night Air. Overstreet made a speech at Franklin in which, in speaking of the Democratic lie, said: "This statement deserves more than a mere denial, and I denounce It ns a lie and brand lis author as a liar." This was strong enough language to call forth a reply with proof. If any, from the Democrat, but none was forthcoming. Mr. Overstreet savs that the statement charged to him is wholly false; that he said nothing that could even be construed into meaning what tho Democrat prints, and that Its statement Is simply a manufactured lie for tho purpose of keeping Democrats from supporting him against the Populist who is running on the Popocratic ticket. it Is on a par with other schemes that have been hatched out at the last minute. It seems strange that the statement of Mr. Overstreet was not found to contain this insult to true Democrats until eight days after the speech was delivered, but such Is tho case. The speech was delivered Thursday, Oct. 22. and it was not until eight days later that this Insult was discovered, although there were many Democrats in the audience who were there because they are Democrats and not Populists, who would have resented such an insult if it had been offered. The information of the Journal is to the effect that a large number of alleged copies of an aflldavlt to the effect that this was said by Mr. Overstreet will be circulated to-night in this and Johnson county. Tliis stamps the matter a lie, for tha allegation that the statement was made was printed last Friday and, if there had been any truth at all In it, it would have bet-n used more promiscuously in this city long before now. As It is, the lie will bo circulated after It Is too late for a correction to be made and too late for It to be refuted. GEORGE A.'BREUNIG DEAD. An Acred Mlnlnter in the German 31. E. Church. George A. Breunlg, who had lived in this city since 1S51, died at hi3 home, 211 Tark avenue, yesterday at noon, of old age, at the ag9 of eighty-six years. Jir. Breunlg was born in Mechenhart Baiern, Germany, March 30, 1S10. He came to this country in 1S22. landing at Baltimore, where he remained only a short time.
