(Eat. IS7S.) DEATH Or ALBERT G. HARDIN.

Nearly a Quarter of a t'entnry on the Journal. Albert Gallatin Hardin, aged fifty-nine years, died at 3:30 o clock yesterday morning, at his residence, No. 1240 Cornell avenue. He had been 111 for three months, the first trouble being with his heart. Later dropsy developed, and was the immediate cause of his death. Mr. Hardin was born in Indianapolis and lived here all his life and was interested In many affairs which went to add to the progress of the city. He was in the prime of life when the civil war bloke out, and early volunteered his services to,his country, joining the Fifty-seventh Indiana Regiment under Judge C. C. Hines. He served with distinction until the close of the war. About the year 1870 he was appointed deputy sheriff by Sheriff George Parker, and had charge of the old Marion county jail during the time that Mrs. Nancy E. Clem was confined there. After this service he took employment with the Journal Newspaper Company and remained there until the time of his death, with the exception of two years, which he spent in the railway mail service. Mr. Hardin was a member of Roberts Park M. E. Church, of the Ruckle Post G. A. R. and of Excelsior Lodge No. 25, Knights of Pythias. The latter organization will have charge of the funeral, which will be held at 2 o’clock to-morrow afternoon. Members of the lodge are requested to meet at the lodge room at 1 o'clock. Mr. Hardin was well known in this city and had many friends In ail walks of life. His bush ess in the advertising department of the Journal gave him the opportunity to meet theusanda of people in a business way and he won the respect and esteem of all who met him. He was a lover of his home and family and maintained an ideal home. He leaves a wife and two children, one child, a married son, Ezra, and the other g young woman sixteen years old. Mrs. Nii'boli’* Death a Naturit 1 One. Mrs. Theodocia Moncel Nichols died at the City Hospital yesterday morning of carebro-meningttls. It was at first supposed that there might have been a criminal operation, and later that she had been polvo#-d. The coroner exploded all the sensational features by his investigation. The death wait a natural one. The woman had been living at 19 North Noble street. It’s What They All Say. Dr. Davls’a Anti-Headache has no equal Cures in fifteen minutes. Ail druggist*.

TWO WEARIED WITH LIFE WILLIAM SCHMIDT, FLORIST, FOUND WITH HIS THROAT CUT. lII* Friend* Cannot Understand the Cause, UnleN* It Was Suffering —llaker llryan Dead. William Schmidt, a florist, thirty-five years old, was found dead in his bed yesterday morning at the home of his half brother, August Schmidt, 2414 North Illinois street. The family of John Rleman also occupies the house. Mr. Rieman is the son-in-law of August Schmidt and is the proprietor of the floral establishment where August and William Schmidt were employed. William Schmidt was unmarried and boarded with his brother. Sunday night William Schmidt came home at about 10 o’clock and went upstairs to his room. Passing through the hall, he was met by Louise Rieman, his three-year-old niece. He greeted her affectionately and bid her good-bye as he passed into his room. Yesterday morning, after Rieman and August Schmidt had gone to their work, Mrs. Rieman went into William Schmidt’s room and found him with his throat cut. She summoned the other men, and then a physician was called. Life was not extinct when the physician arrived. That Schmidt should deliberately commit suicide seems mysterious to his friends. They are inclined to the belief that he was temporarily deranged either from drink or the excessive use of morphine. He had been drinking heavily lately. He spent ’ a part of Sunday at Kissel’s garden and was under the influence of liquor when he returned down town. He stopped in a drug store near his home and bought 20 cents’ worth of morphine in one-quarter grain pills. He was in a good humor then and stopped long enough to shake dice with the druggist and win several cigars. He told the druggist that he wanted the drug to relieve neuralgic pains. His friends say he had been suffering from neuralgia for a long time and was in the habit of usdng morphine. They believe the morphine and the wlnsky crazed him and that he killed himself while insane. Dr. Brayton is inclined to the belief that the amount of morphine would have rendered the man too stupid to have inflicted the injuries which killed him. His throat was cut from ear to ear, there being as many as a dozen separate gashes required to complete the work. * BIIYAN DID NOT RALLY. Died After Doctor* Left'Him on Rond to Recovery. Perry Bryan, the young man who attempted to end his life at Moran’s South Illinois-street Hotel, succeeded in his efforts later in the night, dying at about 3:30 o’clock yesterday morning. Two physicians from the dispensary of the Medical College of Indiana responded to the call to attend him. The City Dispensary was notified first, but for some reason this institution did not send a physician. The physicians arrived at about 1 o’clock and left Bryan shortly afterward, and pronounced him out of danger. Bryan told the physicians he had taken strychnine, but there was no evidence that he had taken this poison. The phial which contained the drug smelled like oil of clo’ and the physicians thought he took a mixture containing laudanum. At 3:30 o’clock the night clerk went to Bryan’s room to see how he was getting along, and found him dead. It is supposed he had more of the drug in his room and took a second dose. Bryan was nineteen years old and was employed at Bryce’s bakery. His mother is Mrs. Dora Cochrel, of 458 West Fifteenth street. He did hot live with her, but roomed with Herman Ungericht, another baker, at 529 South Pennsylvania street. His friends can assign no reason for his suicide, except that he may have had some trouble with his sweetheart. In his pocket there was a card tearing a woman’s name.

A METHODIST HOSPITAL Discussed nt a Meeting Yesterday— Christian Ministers. Steps were taken yesterday morning at the weekly meeting of the Methodist ministers looking to the establishment of a Methodist Deaconess Hospital In Indianapolis. A committee to devise plans was appointed consisting of Revs. Sims, Basby, Lathrop, Hamp and Zarwell. It is said that there are offers of substantial aid for the undertaking. Rev. Robert E: Zaring, of Hyde Park Church, delivered the address of the morning, his topic being “Christian Citizenship.” Christina Church Minister*. The Ministers’ Association of the Christian churches of the city met at the Denison yesterday. Rev. W. A. Foster, of West London Tabernacle, London, made an interesting address on the state of religion in England. He said that the nonconformist church membership outnumbered that of the established church by a million, and that the disestablishment of the English church was not a remote possibility. He thought it was possible to unite all the nonconformist churches under the same general organization as that of the American Christian Church. Mass meetings will be held next Sunday night in the Christian churches in the interest of the city work of the Church Union. Rev. Mr. Pounds will speak at the Third Christian Church, Rev. Mr. Jenkins at the Central Church, Rev. Mr. Lucas at the Englewood Church and Rev. Mr. Orcutt at the Sixth Church. WITH ASSETS OF $3 31. The Odd Fellow*’ Mutual Aid Association Defunct. The Old Fellows’ Mutual Aid Association of Indiana, an assessment insurance concern, has closed its business, with liabilities of about SIOO,OOO and with $3.31 in the treasury for the liquidation of liabilities* The association simply died a natural death for wnt of support. About two years ago it was discovered that the association was sixteen months behind in the payment of claims. All w’ere then being paid in full. At the same time it was noted by the directors that the assessments coming in would cause the association to get further and further behind all the time. It was decided that thereafter, until the association might become stronger in membership, the monthly assessment should be prorated among beneficiaries. This course was followed. The membership kept falling off until there were finally only 205. The regular monthly meeting of members and of directors was to have been held last November, but there were but three present, one of them the president of the association. They declined to transact any business and the president wrote a letter to each member and to each of the beneficiaries, explaining the condition of affairs and asking for advice. There were less than a half dozen responses, and nothing was erne red that would relieve the conditions. There has been no money collected or paid since them. The association was organized about twenty-five years ago. At a meeting of the Grand Lodge, I. O. O. F., a committee was appointed to suggest a plan for the organization of such an association and the committee recommended that an association be organized entirely independent of the order. This was done and it had always remained an organization separate from the order. Miss Breed'* Lecture. A large audience took a trip through Yel-low-stone Park last evening by means of the illustrated lecture given by Miss Katherine Gordon Breed at the Propylaeum. Miss Breed colors her slides and gives a faithful representation of the gorgeous tints and shades to be seen in the famous National Park. Biss Breed’s lecture, from a literary point of view, was well worth attention. The speuker began with the start from St. Paul and the arrival at Cinnebar, the station which is the last wh re the steam cars touch the park. There were views of the terraces from the hotel and views of the chalky deposits and phonographs of the campers and cyclists to be met an route. Then came the immense rocks which form the golden gate and the marvelous mountain of glass. "A Morning Glory.” fifteen feet in diameter, is the name given to a setting of blue water that shades almost

to black, in the depths at the center, with a border of white substance, making it look like a huge flower. The great mountain peaks and the tall pine forests with the red and gold of a sunset behind them, throwing the branches in silhouette against the ricji colors, w r ere shown. A view of “Old Faithful,” a geyser, an exquisite view of an emerald lake by moonlight were among the many wonders reproduced. Asa finale to the lecture and the views, there was a picture of “The Great Falls.” a fitting conclusion to a description of one of the grandest natural gardens of the world. The humorous touches were given in a descrip* tion and picture of "Larry,” the host at Morris Basin, for no visitor ever leaves Yellowstone Park without a story about “Larry.” Miss Breed will remain in the city until Friday, when she will leave for Pittsburg. A PAWNBROKER'S REPORT Lend* (o Recovery of Valuable Stolen Instruments. The pawnbrokers’ ordinance, which requires reports to be filed daily with the police department of all goods taken in, either by purchase or as pledges, enabled the police yesterday to recover three valuable musical instruments recently stolen from the room occupied by G. L. Guthrie and E. L. Wiggins, at 242 North Illinois street. The men are medical students and amateur musicians. Thursday last, while they were away, someone entered their room and stole a banjo and two mandolins. The banjo is valued at $l5O and the two mandolins are worth in the neighborhood of SSO each. Yesterday they were found at J. L. Ward’s pawnshop, 253 East Washington street. SCHEME OF THE OIL MEN * PROPOSE TO GIVE LITTLE HEED TO SUPREME COURT’S DECISION’. © If Adverse, They Will Carry the Fight to Washington—Delay Will Enrich Them. © —— If there is any significance in what an attorney, who represents one of the companies in this State which is operating in oil, said last night, a decision by the Supreme Court in the cases that are pending to stop the waste of natural gas, will not avail much. According to what this attorney said, if a decision adverse to the oil companies is rendered by the Indiana Supreme Court, an appeal will be taken to the Supreme Court of the United States. “By the time the appeal to the Federal Supreme Court is decided,” said the attorney significantly, “the oil and gas will both be exhausted and there will be nothing left to litigate about.” “What do we care for the penalties of the law?” asked he. “They amount to only SSO a day. You take a well that will produce four hundred barrels a day, as some of ours do, and the income amounts to $l6O a day. Paying the penalty we still have a net income of sllO a day. Our expenses of operation are little. We utilize the gas to raise the oil and our only expense is $2.50 a day for a man to watch ten wells. One man can watch that many without trouble. Even if we were compelled to give a bond for the penalties of SSO a day, you can see that our profits would be so great that we could readily afford it. They talk about us wasting the gas. W r e do not waste It. Every ounce of it is put to use. We have as much right to use the gas in raising oil as the manufacturers have to use it for fuel in running their factories. I represent two gas companies as well as the clients I have who own oil companies. I have given the gas companies an opinion to the effect that they cannot prevent the use of the gas by the oil companies. You take the most distinguished attorneys who represent the gas companies in this controversy, and you will find that none of them have dared say the oil business can be suppressed. All they say is that there is a ‘question.’ Almost any attorney can be found who will say that there is a ‘question when his opinion costs the gas companies SIOO a day. In rendering such an opinion he expects to be retained in the trial of the ‘question.’ There has been more rot advanced in this litigation than any other. The oil companies have as much natural right to use the gas in developing and furthering their business as the manufacturers of the State have to enrich themselves by using cheap fuel.” The attorney laughed when he was asked how the oil companies expected to get around a decision of the Supreme Court of the State, but he declared most emphatically that if an adverse decision were rendered against them, the oil companies would go up to the Supreme Court of the United States. Meantime, he said, the production of oil would continue, and with it the consequent waste of gas—he does not admit it is a waste—would continue. This he intimated, without making a direct declaration, would be accomplished by a proceeding similar to a supersedeas, that would have the effect of setting aside the decision of the State Supreme Court until the Federal Court passes on it. According to the attorney, nothing is feared from special legislation, as so much time would be consumed in litigation, even if a special session were called and more restrictive laws were passed, that the oil operators would meantime have made fortunes and prepared themselves to retire from the business.

FOUND THE WATCH ON HIM. I Detectives Ascii and Dugan Pick Up a Man. Det.motives Ash and Dugan yesterday arrested Charles Brown, colored, of Cincinnati, and claim he is the man who committed several burglaries in this city about Christmas time. The man was known to the police as a thief, and when the detectives saw him on the street yesterday, they stopped and questioned him. He was taken into the Prospect engine house and searched, and a silver watch was found in his pocket, which the officers at once recognized as one which had been stolen from the residence of C. F. Carpenter, 1529 Hovt avenue, on the nigfit of Dec. 25. They took the fellow to Carpenter’s house, and the wa.teh was identified. Brown denies any connection with the burglary and says he bought the watch In Chicago. When the Carpenter house was burglarized, the place Wits completely gutted. Every room was searched and about S2OO worth of goods was taken. Buys? dull Officers. The following officers for the Boys’ Club Association were elected yesterday. President—\V r . J. Richards.

THECROW ( DSAUGURWELL •4 BEPtBLICVj j MEETINGS AGAIN largely attended. -i—*— Primaries Heart Last Night <* Choose Delegates to District Convention (This Afternoon. V There was aft unusual interest in the primaries held in this city and county last night to elect delegates to the Republican district convention, to be held at 1:30 o’clock this afternoon in the Criminal Court room, to elect the district chairman. Considering that the weather was about the coldest of the winter and that there was virtually no contest for the district chairmanship, oldtime politicians were surprised at the numbers of Republicans who attended the primaries. The interest was almost as unprecedented as that exhibited ten days ago when the primaries for the reorganization of the county committee were held. In all of the wards of the city the turnout was very large. Take for instance the Ninth ward, on the South Side, where 158 votes were cast. The Ninth ward is Democratic, and the fact that so many Republicans turned out indicates the enthusiasm that dominates Republicans. In the Third and Seventh wards, not to specify others where the interest was equally great, there were immense turnouts. In neither instance had the politicians expected more than a score or so to appear. It was so all over town; everywhere the numbers present surprised the ward chairmen and others who have kept an eye on the trend of political affairs. Full delegations have been elected for the convention this afternoon, and it promises to be an enthusiastic occasion. Below are given the delegates elected from the wards of this city and outside precincts of the county, so far as they were reported last night: First Ward—George Weaver, J. B. Grandy, Josepn Lane. Dr, Ball, Gurley Brewer, Dr. Ballard, Charles Walter, William Gresh. Second Ward—John R. Allen. John Heinrichs, Charles E. Thornton, Lewis W. Cooper, W. H. Lester, Edward Marquette, Robert T.

Defective Thornton Take* Exception to Kissel’s Story. Detective Ben Thornton returned from Cairo, 111., last evening, where he went with Fred Kissel, Saturday, to identify a colored prisoner there believed to be 'Wilder, the murderer. The detective takes exceptions to some of the statements regarding the color line having been drawn against him, published in an interview with Kissel, yesterday morning, especially the paragraph stating that Chief Mahoney “froze up” when he found that Thornton was the representative of the Indianapolis police department. “Chief Mahoney treated me in the most courteous way,” said Thornton. “I had to remain in Cairo Sunday, as I could not get a train over the road on which my transportation was good. In the afternoon Chief Mahoney wanted to drive me about the city. It happened that Mr. Kissel and I went into a barroom to drink. Mr. Kissel was informed that it would cost 25 cents a drink. I told him not to buy it at that price. At another place the price asked was 50 cents a drink. I then explained to Mr. Kissel that the reason the prices were raised was because I was a colored man. It happened that we got into the only two places in town where such a practice prevails. Afterwards we had no trouble at the best hotel in the town, the Holliday House.’ Concerning the statement that Kissel tried to buv tickets home and was informed by the agent that Thornton could not ride on that train, but would have to wait until one of the three trains a week, which carry colored people, arrived, Thornton says there is nothing in it. In Illinois, he says, they do not have such trains. The reason he did not come home on Kissel’s train was that the latter came on a different road. “As I had bought a return trip ticket before leaving Indianapolis,” said the detective, “there was nothing for me to do but wait until my train came Before leaving Cairo Kissel told me that he was going to play a joke on me when he got home. I suppose the interview is the joke.”

MAILS TO THE SUBURBS. The New Stations Will Open for Hu*lnes* To-Day. The free delivery system to the suburbs will go into operation this morning. The two full stations on the corner of Illinois and McLean place and at 1527 Hillside avenue have both been equipped ready for service. Each of these stations is provided with ten carriers and two clerks. The mail will first come to the general office and will then be to these stations on the street cars. The first mail to be sent to them will be on the 5:30 o'clock cars this morning. The mail will be sent to the stations six times a day and from the stations to the central office four times a day. These full stations are to all intents and purjioses full postoffices with gen?ral delivery and other departments, the same as the main office. Postmaster Sahm will retire ;.rom his office cn Feb. 15, when J. W. Hess, the newly appointed postmaster, will succeed him. Mr. Sahm says that he has not been without “a job,” as he puts it. for twentyfour years, and he thinks he will feel a little lost after he steps down and out of his present position. He intends to enter immediately on an active canvass for the nomination of county treasurer on the Democratic ticket and that he will secure it is almost a certainty. The Socleta Italians. Di Mutuo Soccorso Giorgio Washington is the name of an organization incorporated yesterday that intends to look after the education of its members in the language and laws of the United States and to assist those in,need of help. The office of the order is in Diamond, Ind., but it proposes to extend itself over the State. The directors are Adam Gregori, Stifana Nicoll and Geo. Barbolini.

It Will Be Opened Thursday with u Dunce. On the east drive, just southeast of the fountain is the new clubhouse of Woodruff Place. A few weeks ago the idea was suggested, the plans were talked over, a meeting was called, the formalities were disposed of. and the next morning the lirst earth w r as turned for a pleasure home for the people of the “town within a town.’’ The president of the clubhouse is Admiral George Brown, the only retired officer of the navy at the Hoosier capital. The clubhouse is not built for elegance, but there is comfort and a prospect for many good times in the suacious hall, billiard rooms, cardrooms and ballroom and theater combined. The building Is a full two-story frame with a deep basement and a high loft, having a broad dormer window, which gives a square appearance to the place. There are broad steps leading to a wide porch, upheld with colonial pillars. There is a feeling of amplitude throughout the place. The interior first floor is divided in the middle. The south half Is a hall. About half way back is a fireplace and mantel. The latter, with its wood cap, is finished in mountain oak and the tiles are of deep, almost American beauty red. Opposite the hall is a large billiard room, and back of it are two cardrooms. Out from the cardrooms are toilet rooms, which also lead Into the hall. At the back of the house is the kitchen with range, sinks and tables, and in one corner is a dumb waiter running to the second floor. Broad stairs between the front doors and the fireplace lead to the second floor. There is a ballroom, and at the east end is a stage with footlights and reflectors, and at either side is a dressing room. When the clubhouse was planned, it was intended to have it meet every requirement which might be made by any member for a large or small party, concert, musicale or dramatic performance. The rooms are finished in natural oak, except the billiard room, which is in black oak. The high basement is to be used for bowling alleys, and has the furnace room and other rooms, which in time will be made into a gympasium, with proper equipments. Large windows promise plenty of light and ventilation. The furniture for the building will be in oak. The building committee was Mr. George Barney, Mr. P. B. Raymond and Mr. O. S. Huey. The place is valued at about SB,OOO, and it will be improved from time to time with various pieces of furniture and decoration. The fixtures are all wrought iron. The house committee which will have charge of the clubhouse is Mr. R. M. Seeds, Mr. Frederick Shepard and Mr. Campbell. The house will bo opened Thursday evening with a dance. Each stockholder is entitled to invite tour guests fpr that event. The lirst private party will be given February 10 by Miss Laura Huey, and just before Lent there will be a minstrel show given by the people of Woodruff. The clubhouse will surely fill a long ' felt want. Smallpox in Surrounding: States. The State Board of Health has been notified of the existence of smallpox in Galesburg, 111.

Julius C. & son, INDIANA’S LEADING JEWELERS. Millions of dollars have been lost by intrusting the settlement of estates and trusteeships for minors or dependents to individuals. How often the loss of an estate, through the dishonesty or incompetency of an executor or guardian, is noted in the press, and how often sureties are called on to make good their bonds for defaulting officials. Why take such risk, then, when the State authorizes a company to do this work and hedges it about with the strongest legal restraints that can be devised? In selecting The Union Trust Company as executor or trustee you have a- servant that will be permanent and financially responsible to a large amount. Its trust funds are kept separate from its own, and its business is conducted with the greatest care and expedition.
