GOWDY COMES TO TOWN

Tin: m:v cosset c;km:kal holds a. imoumal m:vi:i:. Unborn ot n Candidate fir Mate Committee Chnlrmmmlilp The Prion .North Hoard Ilrtnlncd. John K. Gowdy, the new consul general of the United States to Paris, arrived in the city at 11 :15 yesterday morning, accompanied by his vice consul. Finley McGuirc, of Ilushville. He proceeded to the Denlson House, where during the afternoon a num ber of politicians called to pay their respects and offer congratulations. The purpose of his visit was to call together the state committee In order may accept his resignation that it as chairman and elect a successor, incre has been a general report t! at Mr. Gowdy, F. M. Millikan and the others of the Jun ta that has controlled the committee since 1V0. have fixed upon George F. McCullough, of Muncie, as Mr. Gowdy's successor, and as yet no opposition to his election has been manifested. George A. Osborn, who has been spoken of as a possible candidate for the succes sion, declared in an interview printed in the Marion Chronicle yesterday afternoon that he is not a candidate. Mr. Osborn said he knew of the opposition he would have encountered had he been a candidate because of his presumed friendliness towards the alleged senatorial candidacy of Major Steele two years hence and his pre sumed inclination to bend the state commit tee In that interest. Of course, if Major Steele becomes a candidate he will support him, but he said that Major Steele had never mentioned the matter to him, and all he knew of his candidacy was what he had sen in the newspapers. The idea that he v.'as unfriendly to the senatorial candidacy of Hiram Ilrownlee. Mr. Osborn said, was a pure invention. He and Mr. Brownlee had always been on the friendliest terms, and he had done all he could to advance Mr. Itrownlec's interests. Senator George v Self and Sol A. Wood, of An gola, both members of the committee, have also been mentioned as possible successors to the chairmanship. SOUTH PJIISOX DIItCCTOHY. The Old Hoard Appointed The Deputy Wurrienahl p. Governor Mount yesterday morning announced the Northern Prison board. As anticipated, he reappointed the old board, composed of E. H. Nebeker, of Covington; Gen. R. S. Foster, of Indianapolis, and Henry Van Vorst, of Monticello. A joint meeting of this board and the managers of the Reformatory at Jeffcrsonville will be held on Friday to discuss arrangements for the transfer of prisoners. All prisoners over thirty years of age confined at Jeffersonvlllo will be taken to the state prison at Michigan City and the prisoners under this age at Michigan City will be taken to Jeffcrsonville. A meeting of the board will be held at the prison at Michigan City this evening to make arrangements for pushing the work of construction authorized by the last Legislature. The board has made no contract as yet for this work, feeling that it should be undertaken by whoever was to have charge of the prison during this year. Now, however, it will go ahead with the work as rapidly as jossible and It will probably be able to use in this construction all the men thrown idle by the new law preventing prison contract labor. The brvird will also discuss the question of a deputy warden. Mr. Whltaker was retired during the session of the Legislature and his place has not yet been tilled. Warden Harley has been in correspondence with the heads of a number of the best managed prisons In the country on this subject and the board will have before it the names of four or live experienced prison men for the position. It is the intention to introduce the grading system and other reforms as rapidly as can proin-rly be done. In reappointing the board Governor Mount had no understanding with the members about the wardenshlp, but the members of the board stated last night that there was no question of Warden Harley's retention. SO LEGISLATORS KLIGIIILE. .None of the Iloetor-Stntexmen Cnn I!e on Sew 3Ielleul Hoard. Dr. Newton, of Hope, representative from Uartholomew county, was recommended by the four medical associations of the State for a place upon the medical examining board created under the new law, and it was generally supposed that he would dc at the head of the new board. In looking over the Constitution, however. Governor Mount discovered a section that dosiriys the hope of having on this board any of tht physicians who were in the last Legislature and who were o active i. utting the medical law through. This is Section CO of Article 4, which reads as follows : "No senator or representative shall, during the term for which he may have been elected, be eligible to any ollice, the election to which is vested in the General Assembly, nor shall he be appointed to any civil office of profit which shall have been created, or the emoluments of which shall have been Increased, during such term: but this latter provision shall not bo con strued to apply to any ohlce elective by the people. Dr. Newton called upon the Governor yesterday and came oat of nis oltico wit a a copy of the Constitution opened at this place. "1 guess this knocks me out," ho remarked with u. mlle. Do Not Care for Office. Frank M. Dice, of Crawfordsvllle, was In the city yesterday. The Washington dispatches had him in Washington "camping on the trail of an auditorship." This he savs uoes mm wrontr. l nave not ncen In Washington," said ho to a Journal re porter yesterday, "and 1 am not a candidato ior anything, i here is nothing i want in the way of an office." I 1. Mitchell, who has been mentioned freely us one o the more persistent officeseekers, was over lrom New Castle yesterday. "Ther is nothing in politics," said ho to a Journal reporter in a meditative way. "I have an application in tor the position of controller of the treasury or ihird auditor, but 1 am not paying much attention to it." CASES OF M'CRAYISM. Wants to Attneii Witnesses w no wan ed Hour on III TurdincMM. There is a story which has been going the rounds of the press recently about a California judge who believed In punctuality to such an extent that he was almost Infallible in his own movements and insisted that attorneys always be on time. Ho lined several of them 110 at different times for contempt In falling to be in court at the time appointed. One morning a half docn attorneys were present promptly at S o'clock to try a case, but there was no judge. Ten minutes later the Judge walked Into the courtroom and took his place. Turning to the clerk he said: "The clerk will enter a fine of 510 against tho court and mark it paid." He handed over a tenidollar bill and proceeded with the case, much to the amusement of all present. This wua not Judge McCray. Yesterday morning the case of Jack Stewnrt, charged with selling liquor without a license, was act for hearing at 9 o'clock in the Criminal Court. Judge McCray did not arrive at 9 o'clock and 10 o'clock came and passed without him. It wa-s after 11 o'clock when the Judge finally reached the courtroom. Two of tho witnesses had tired of waiting and had left the courthouse nt the time. Judge McCray suggested that attachments be issued for them and havo them arrested and brought into court. He said the subpoenas showed that they had been served and there was no excuse for them not being present. Prosecutor Wlltsle mildly intimated to the court that If the judge had been on time he would havo found all the witnesses present, for they er there at 9 o'clock. While the question was bclnj dlscusc

one c$ the witnesses enme Into court. The court did not line itself. Thi evidence was heard and Stewart was arqultted. The state has filed Its two bills of exceptions in the Ludwig change of venue proceedings. The 5tate denies the right of Smiley N. Chambers to act in the case. The following statement In sahl to be the story of the alleged effort to bribe Judge McCray as told recently by a man who

vths called before the grand jury: i wo propositions were made to Judge McCray by Royal Hammer In regard to the findings to be entered in certain cases. One was an offer of i'X' for a finding of not guilty in the Douglas poolroom cases, and the othr was an oftcr of $.", for an agreement that the court would not imse a workhouse sentence on any saloon Keeper for a violation of the liouor laws during the term for which Judge McCray was elected. At one time Judge McCray Intimated that there would Ik? workhouse sentence's attached to the penalties assessed against saloon keepers brought before him. and It is said that this ojfer was made shortly afterwards. It is understrod that Judge McCray s story is that he declined the offers and went to John S. Duncan with the matter. Mr. Duncan advised him to do nothing, but keep still and await developments. Judge McCray could not refrain from tell ing the story, and in that way it became public property and went to the grand jury. ADMISSION FEE TO A WEDDING WlU'Cnnt 15 Cent to See the SalvnAfTulr. tion Army Hailelii jnli It will cost fifteen cents to witness the Salvation Army hallelujah wedding at the Y. M. C. A. to-night. Lieutenant Colonel William Rrewer, in command of the army in the Northwest, will conduct the cere monies uniting two of his faithful soldiers in the holy bonda of wedlock. Cedonel Urewer will deliver an address at 4 o'clock this afternoon in the Second Presbyterian Church parlors on "The Social Side of the Salvation Army." It is stated that President Harper, of the Uni versity of Chicago, has become so thor oughly convinced of the benefits of the army's social work that he has had the matter brought before his students for careful study. LflPORTE GETS THE MOST DISTRIBUTION TO COl.TIi:S OF TIIK AVKSTEUX l.MOX TAXES. C'urroll Get o Mice Ileenuwe She llant Treated the State Just Exactly Hlht. The attorney general yesterday filed with the auditor of state his apportionment of the money recovered from the Western Fnion among the various counties. It was approved and the checks sent out to all the counties to which such taxes are due. ex cept Carroll. The amount apportioned to Carroll county, aggregating $1,672-11, was re tained by the State. This is on account of the controversy with Carroll, which has prevented any settlements being made with that county for a year. It will be remem bered that the commissioners of this county compromised the tax litigation with the P.owen estate without collecting the State's share of the taxes. The attorney general then petitioned the court and had this compromise set aside. While the litigation is pending there are no settlements of any kind with this county. rlne apportionment to other counties is as follows:

POLICEMAN FINALLY FIRED. Shot Mnrtln O'Dny After Struggling with Hint u. Lone Time. In an encounter yesterday afternoon, in which Patrolman Daniel Haley attempted to arrest Martin O'Day, the latter was shot in the right les with a thtrty-clght-caliber pistol. Ho was brought to the police station and then sent to the City Hospital. Tho bullet entered in the back part of the calf and lodged, somewhere in the bones. Tho physicians at tho hospital were not able to locate tho ball and will not attempt to remove It. They do not regard the vound as of serious consequence. Th trouble was not a surprise to the police, who know O'Day. They say he has given them lots of trouble; that ho Is frequently arrested and always resists and has to be whipied by the policeman who arrests him or he will whip tho otneer. Tho police say he served a term in the penitentiary for killing a man by the name of Duffy In a light on California street and that he has served several terms in the workhouse and been arrested many times. They regard him as ono of the worst men they have to deal with. Yesterday Patrolman Haley stopped at the No. 6 engine house on West Washington street and was told that ho was wanted at the O'Day home. No. 12S Blackford street. Tho firemen said that It was reported that O'Day had come homo drunk and attacked members of the family, driving them out of the house with a butcher knife. and threatening to kill his mother unel brother. On his way to tho house Haley met O'Day and asked him what the trouble was about. O'Day said there had been none and offeree! to go home tdth the patrolman and convince him that everything was peaceful at his home. They met O'Day's brother and he corroborated the first report and addt-d that his mother wanted Martin arrested. "Well said Haley, "1 can only arrest him Tor being drunk." And, turning to O'Day, he said: "Martin, you're my man." At the same time he started to take hold of O'Day, but he received, a, blow from O'Day's fist instead. O'Day run north on California street to Court, cast on Court to tho first alley and north to Market street. Thero a rag picker stopped him and held him until Haley came up. Then the patrolman and O'Day had a herce encounter, and when tney were done both looked as 11 they had been fondled by a cyclone and O'Day had a bullet in his leg. They fought for about twenty minutes. Haley tried to use his mace, but could not do any good with It. Finally O'Day grabbed it out of his hand and raised it to strike the patrolman. Haley's pistol was leveled at him In a moment and the mace was dropped to the ground. Again Haley tried to take the man and for another ten minutes there was a monkey-and-parrot exhibition of rough and tumble fighting. The rag picktr had gone in the meantime and a crowd of men find women had gathered to seo the fun. O'Day kept calling them to his assistance, but Haley managed to keep the crowd off by threatening1 to use his pistol. Finally both men were tired out and O'Day started to run. Haley commanded him to halt, and, when he failed to do so, fired one shot at his feet. It brought O'Day to the ground and ho was arrested.

THE STORY OF JOHNSON

a rnisoxcn who showed his altMi: AS A CRIMINAL LAW Y Kit. Given Three Years in Judge McCray Court Thirst for Water Led to Ills First Conviction. David W. Johnson, who was convicted a few days ago of burglary and given three years In the penitentiary, is busy in Jail preparing the papers to appeal his case to the Supreme Court. He has been allowed ten days for the purpose before being taken to prison. Johnson surpriseel the court by nis arguments In his own behalf and knowledge of law. hb "I do not like to talk about my case," he said to a reporter yesterday, "for the reason that it might reflect upon Mr. Spahr. Rut I'll tell you something about my past life. I was formerly a well-to-do merchant in New Albany. What my name was does not matter. Reverses came and I got to roaming about the country. I had a little money and bought some jewelry and peddled. I traveled extensively. I did not care to go back to Now Albany, and a living was all 1 wanted. It came easy enough In my business. jn 1S93 I stopped at Paris, O., and workeei about in the neighborhood of Richmond, Ind., for some time. Then I found that I needed some medical attention which I could not receive there, and started to Indianapolis. At Cambridge City I got off the train to get a glass of beer and missed the train. 1 had several hours to wait and bought a bottle of whisky and became drunk. "I suppose I was drunk. The only recollection of events I have after the purchase of the whisky is that 1 awoke in the middle of the night and found myself lying on the ground in a big common. A burning thirst caused my tongue to stick to my palate. I saw a light at a little distance and went toward it. There was a house, but no pump was visible. I looked In at the window and saw a sink with two pumps. With the intense thirst from which I was suffering I stopped at nothing. 1 pushed aside the screen in the window and crawled into the house. Just then 1 heard some one moving In the other part of the house, and I lay down under tho sink so as not to attract attention. 1 must have gone to sleep at once, for tho next thing 1 remember is receiving a blow upon the face. You can see the scar In my cheek now. It was made by a chair, with which I was struck. "Well, to make a long story short, I was tried on the charjjo of housebreaking and attempt at robbery. There was no attempt at robbery and nothing was stolen. Rut I was found guilty and given four years at Jeffersonvllle for it. While I was in prison I foresaw that if released with my good time credited to me, I would be turned out in the world at the beginning of winter with no provision to live. My term expired Nov. 30, 1896. About a year before I wrote to Judge Dundy, who triel me, and the prosecuting attorney, and had them recommend to Governor Matthews that my time be shortened to give me a chanco to get on my feet before winter set in. UK SCORED THE GOVERNOR. "Governor Matthews dilly-dallied along, and finally I wrote him a pretty scorching letter. 1 quoted from his message to the Legislature in which he recommended the repeal of tho law which requires that con victs be returned to the place from which they were sent. 1 showed him that in my case 1 would be returned 150 miles from prison anel set adrift without a cent of money. He said in his message that such a law would tend to make criminals and I assured him that he was right. Finally I got a letter from Myron King saying that tho Governor had refused to grant my application for a pardon or reprieve. "When 1 was released at New Castle 1 came to this city and met a friend I had known years ago. He loaned me a little money and shared his room with me. One time I walked to Noblesvllle and met another friend who loaned me $5, and again I borrowed 510 lrom a man trom Spnngfiedd. 111. 1 got enough money In this way to live. "Regarding the overcoat and watch which were identified by Mr. Hitt and. Mr. Roots. I got them from a .Louisville man. I told the police that 1 got tho overcoat from a misht parlor. The Louisville man did get it from a misfit store. It was not positively identified, and the man who claimed It does not really know whether It Is his coat or not. 1 do not think 1 was treated fairlyregarding tho watch. No man can identify n. watch who does not even know the make of it. The case may have answered the general description, but 1 defy you to get a Jeweler who will agne that a watch can well be Identified without some distinguishing mark or the make and number. 1 think two or three jewelers ought to have been calleil in as expert witnesses. Rut my case was in tho hands of an attorney during the trial. , , "Tho cruciblo which was found in my room was mine, though it was not necessarily mine because it was in my roomfound thero a day or two after my arrest. I did not have a key to the room and could not be held responsible for what the police say they found there. Rut tho cruciblo was mine. I intended to use it to melt up old gold and silver for pawnbrokers. 1 thought I could be able to earn a living that way during the winter. The piece of melted silver found in my pocket was an old plugged quarter of a dollar which I melted to sec it 1 could do the work on a common stove. READ LAW BEFORE THE WAR. "Did you ever practice law?" Johnson was asked before he began talking. "I read law before tho war," he said. "What have you been doing In recent years?" 'Well, I have not practiced any lately." It Is the opinion of those who have watched Johnson's conduct during the trial of his case that ho Is a lawyer and has practiced. He is certainly well versed In criminal law. Detective Splan, speaking of Johmon yesterday, said: "I notice-d during the trial that ho put many Important questions In the mouth of his attorney. One in particular 1 remember because of its great importance to him and the fact that I never heard an attorney ask it before, though I have seen hundreds of trials where the same question would have been equally as valuable to tho elefense. His attorney was examining candidates for the jury and seemed about to accept an old gentleman, when Johnson whispered Into the attorney's car and the lat"'Were you ever robbed, or was your house ever burglarized?' -The man said his house had,rbnV,"r glarlzed and he was excused. Phis question was afterward put to other Jurors. Johnson expects to secure a new trial through the Supreme Court and to be acquitted. Tho police say that j should he be successful, he would probably be worse off. for there are other cascsfnS,n brought against him, and for Ifh he might receive more severe punishment. Johnson is sixty-one years oia. and of light build. Ho Yarord nrn and chin beard. His hair and beard arc silver gray. Another Fake Globe Trotter. A young man giving the name of William Baldwin, who represented that he was a brother of Helen Baldwin, the bicycle eider who was seen in this city during the women's bicycle races at Tomlinson Hall, and who also claimed that ho was a professional globe, trotter, In the employ of Richard K. Fox, of the Police Gazette, spent several days In this city. At the corner of English avenue and Pine street John F. McCarthy keeps a saloon, which he calls 4Kv tvatra n ,T,ttr fi.imnl Room. About a

year ago the Iollce Gazette published a pic a year ago. , Arnold s term would hav e exture of the place and gave It a write-up. 'Pired tho latter part of this week; an he Consequently Mr. McCarthy feels kindly to- ras only sentenced for one year, but he and

ward the papr, ana wnen uaium vuuio round to see him he exerted himself to please the traveler. He gave him a place to Bleep and boarded him. Drinks were free as water. McCarthy thought perhaps that the fellow was somewhat frequent In his demands for drinks, but he stood it until the fellow wanted a bottle of whisky, an.d was not content to accept anything except the purest old rye in the house. Then McCarthy "fired" the fellow and wrote to Mr. Fox about him. A response was received yesterday paylnjr that the fellow is a fraud. From papers which the fellow

showeel and autographs secured In other towns, it is probable he has been working the game extensively. A QUARTET OF PITCHERS.

Mannfffr AVatklns Will Have Them Here To-Uny. Wolters came In yesterday from Smithport, Pa., his home. Before night the quartet of pitchers relied on to push the Indlanajolis ball club to the front this .season will be complete, as Foreman will arrive from Baltimore to-day. Wolters is a welleducated young man of good address and one of the best-appearing players in the Western League. Gray, Flynn and Kehoe will be here within a few hours, and tomorrow's opening exhibition game will give the "fans" a line on all the players. The rain spoiled the practice at tne park yesterday morning, but in the afternoon the boys were at work again. It will not take them long to get Into condition this season, as, without exception, they seem to be nearer playing form than ever before at this time of the year. Three weeks from to-day the Indianapolis team will open the championship season with Grand Rapids here twenty-four hours in advance of the rest of the Western League clubs. Indianapolis has to start early in order to get in four games with Grand Rapids before Sunday. The other teams play Sunday ball, and the fourth game of the series can take place that day. Manager Watklns says he never saw Rusle In as fine condition as right now. The big pitcher is down to 221 pounds, a good playing weight for a man who tips the scales normally at 210 pounds. He took a turn at catching tlies Monday and the way he threw the ball from deep center field to the plate showed that his aim Is right. Rusie could go right in now and pitch tho sort of ball that gained him the reputation of being the greatest in the business. Tho oallplayer who tells the public that he is not satisfied with the terms offered him and that he "cannot play ball as he would like to" Is a short-sighted personage, the management thinks. When he finally gives in, as he generally finds it best to do, ho has put himself on record as declaring that the club Is not 'entitled to and will not get his best efforts. The manager, therefore, watches nis work witii even more than ordinary care, and when it falls short naturally attributes the fact to the player's announced intention to not exert himself In the club's behair. "1 hen it is that the manager puts the indiscreet, shortsighted player on the bench to rest for a time without pay and thus to get rid of the mental soreness which is handicapping ms work. Whenever several baseball magnates meet in this or any city where their presence is unusual the public gets the Impression that some big deal is on which contemplates a change in the circuit. The magnates go serenely on with their conference, neither affirming nor denying the most absurd stories regarding such a change. Rig ball teams are move-d around like checkers on a checker .board In order to give the public a one-day sensation. No such changes as are suggested are even contemplated by the magnates, but that makes no difference the public gets the sensation. There Is no field like baseball for "faking." Motz, Gore, Phillips and Monroe arrived yesterday, and all but Phillips spent some time at the park practicing. Phillips received a telegram that his father-in-law had just died, and remained at his hotel. Fourteen men spent two hours during the afternoon at hard work in the park. Eustnce nnd Samuels will arrive the latter part of the week, and this will complete the team. The first gamo of the season will be played to-morrow afternoon. Mr. Watklns will select a team from his men and they will go against the Outing team, which is composed of a number of professional players who live here and will shortly go to other places to join their clubs. WOMEN'S MISSION WORK. Annual Meeting of Socletio in dlnnnpolis Presbytery. InThe twenty-second annual meeting of tha Women's Missionary Societies of the Indianapolis Presbytery opened yesterday morning In the lecture room of the First Presbyterian Church. There was a large attendance, which included about forty members from out of town. Mrs. T. C. Day, president of the soeiety, was in the chair. The prayer serivce was leel by Mrs. F. S. Newcomer. Mrs. John Clark, of Franklin, secretary of the society, read the minutes of the last meeting, which was held at Columbus. One of the interesting features of this first service was the four-cornered conference. Tho presidents and vice presidents of the missionary so cietles met In one corner, tho secretaries In the second, the treasurers in a third and the laity in a fourth, where discussions were held, and at the end of an appointed time reports were made of the several con ferences, Mrs. V. H. Fowler, of Spencer, leading. This consumed the time until after noon, when the meeting adjourned for luncheon, which was served at the Cen tral Christian Church. In the afternoon the meeting was opened by the secretary, Mrs. Clark. MrsT. C. Potter gave a practical talk concerning the treasuries, which are never as full as they should be for tho work in hand and the importance of it. The iinnual report of the Christian Endeavor work was made by Miss Maud Hlxon. Mrs. F. W. Pearson, of Philadelphia, gave an interesting talk of tho mission schools of the South and West, particularly of the valley of the Southwest, which is the term applied to New Mexico. Miss Catherine Merrill told of "A Roman Scene in the Time ef Nero," which was the story of the preaching of I'aul In Rome. Mrs. Williams gave a description of "A Modern Scene in Alaska," frcm a. personal experience. Mrs. C. C. Foster spoke of the mission work being done by Rev. Graham Lee In Korea, and Airs. W. W. Woollen read a number of extracts from letters from Miss Grt-ttie Holliday, the missionary sent by the First Presbyterian Church to Tabriz. Persia. In Korea Mr. Ixe has the assistance of his wife, formerly Miss Blanche Webb, of Eva lis vine. Both .Mr. and Airs. iee are known to a circle of friends in this city. Miss Holliday spoke of the lack of civilization in countries where there is a "false religion." With the appointment of the several committees the meeting of the afternoon closed. Iist evening Rev. D. E. Finks gave a talk on "Our Home Mission Fields," with special reference to the Presbyterian missions in Alaska, which was illustrated with numerous stereoptican views taken by himself. Rev. M. L. Haines presided at the evening meeting. Morning and afternoon sessions will le held to-day with the annual election of officers this afternoon. Luncheon will be served again to-day In the Central Christian Church. A number of interesting speakers are announce-! and a feature will be chapters from the lives of noted missionaries. There is an unusually large attendance of wives of ministers at the meetings, which Is regarded a hopeful sign. Womanly touches are visible in the lecture room, where there are vases of flowers and some plants and an air of domesticity was mingle! with the speeches, when women busied themselves with needle and thread while listening to the talks and the business. ARNOLD IS PARDONED. He Wan an Officer of the Sonth "WMtIry Dank. Governor Mount yesterday Issued a pardon to Thompson Arnold, the bookkeeper of the South Whitley Bank at South "Whitley, whose trial and conviction' upon the charge of conspiracy attracted so much attention throughout the northern part of the State his friends were extremely anxious to .se cure a pardon In order to mitigate in some degree the disgrace of the penitentiary sentence. The friends of Arnold have always believed that his conviction was due more to the public thirst for a scapegoat than to any belief upon the part of tho Jury that ho was in any sense responsible for the wrecking" and looting of the South Whitley Bank. But the bank had failed, and the cashier, who was responsible for the failure, hud fled the country, and Thompson Arnold
