About & year ago Roepke sustained an injury to hia head, and since then his friends think his mind was affected. Recently he bought a quantity of arsenic to give to his horses. During the three days previous to his death he declined to eat and became ill Thursday night. At 3 o'clock yesterday morning his wife had Dr. Buehler called. Roepke said to the physician that he had taken "three doses" of arsenic and gave to Dr. Buehler some of the poison he had left in his pocket. He aeemed to realize his condition and begged the physician to do all he could to relieve him, but the poison had accomplished its work and Rfepke diet! at 8 o’clock. A statement in an afternoon paper that Dispensary physicians had been called wits incorrect. It is believed he took the poison during a period of mental aberration.

WILL SOLDIERS VOTE? i •* n i IT WOI’LD REQUIRE AS EXTRA SESSION OF THE LEGISLATURE. a i > i A Mother's Anxiety—Assembly Tent for Smith’s Regiment—'Ts e Counties Changed. While it is not generally believed that the w'ar will be prolonged until the November election this fall, those who think it may be prolonged beyond that time are suggesting that a special session of the Legislature be called to amend the election laws so as to provide that volunteer soldiers in the field may vote without coming home. During the civil war an effort was made In Indiana to have such a law passed while the General Assembly was in session in 1863. The anti-war members defeated the measure, although Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania and other States acted favorably on the proposition. It is asserted that some of the States have already directed their Legislatures to meet this year and pass laws permitting volunteers away fighting to vote If the war continues until after the elections. In this State there are many who are urging that Indiana follow this course, some of the newspapers advocating It. Unless such a law were passed the six thousand voters in service would be disfranchised should the war be prolonged until after the election. The idea has received some consideration from Governor Mount, but no conclusion has been reached, and most likely none will be until it appears that Indiana volunteers will be disfranchised by the continuation of the war if the laws are not amended. When the subject was discussed yesterday in Secretary Wilson’s office one young man declared that the soldiers could not vote in the field. "It would be a violation of the Australian ballot law,” said he, "as the ballots would have to be sent home and the secrecy of the election destroyed." “There is a way to get around that," said Secretary Wilson. "How?" "By amending the law,” said the secretary. "How can you do that?" asked his questioner. "A special session of the General Assembly could do it,” said Colone.l Wilson. Colonel Wilson did not In any way indicate that 3uch a thing was being seriously considered by the Governor, but in view of the fact that the subject has been agitated considerably and has been brought to the Governor’s notice, there may be some significance in his remarks on the subject. One of the men who was in the Senate in 1863 recalls the efforts that were made to allow the volunteers to vote in the field. The measure failed, the anti-war party defeating it, as it did all war measures introduced that were of any real value. The exsenator said that there would not be a special session now, as, in his opinion, the war would be over before the election. NOTHING OFFICIAL. Got. Mount Hum Received No Lute Communication from Washington. Besides the two messages from Adjutant General Corbin, the one announcing that the regiments in the field were to be recruited, and the other asking the Governor to designate field officers for this purpose, no official communications from the War Department have been received by the Governor since the President’s second proclamation for volunteers was issued. "I would not be surprised,” said Military Secretary Wilson last night, "to hear that the recruiting project is to be abandoned. Army officers here take this view. If such an idea is being considered that would explain the long delay. Stiff, in his telegram asking for recruiting officers to be designated, Adjutant General Corbin said that it would be ‘some days’ before the allotment of the State’s quota was made.” There is a feeling of uneasiness apparent at the Statehouse and a wish prevails, if it is unexpressed, that something definite in the way of orders might be received so as to end the suspense and make clear just what is expected of Indiana. If the idea of the abandonment of the recruiting plan proves true, the pressure at the Governor’s office will be renewed, as this would mean that the State would be required to furnish two, and perhaps three, regiments. Therefore men who have concluded there was no chance for them under the second call would be encouraged to renew their efforts to get in the vqlunte.fr army. All the plans that have been made public would have to be abandoned under such a contingency, but it is believed the Governor has figured on various plans and knows about what he will do under a given condition, and that If the State is asked for one regiment, two or three, that he has his apportionments ready for the issuance of such a call as the circumstances may require. “No news is good news” is a saying that the present circumstances do not warrant. The State officials are anxious for Information of some sort. A good many persons are Inclined to think the recruiting plan will not be abandoned, saying that the President evidently adopted this course in the interest of economy after due deliberation and is likely to follow it, notwithstanding the pressure from men who are willing to serve their country in the capacity of commanders.

TRIED TO GET HIM OUT. Mother Who Did Not Want Her Son Operated Upon. The natural solicitude of a mother for her son was never more strongly exemplified than yesterday, when the mother of a frecrult sent from this city about a month ago by Captain Black came into the recruiting station nearly distracted by the intelligence sent by the young man, who is now stationed at Tampa, to the effect that he Is sick at that point and the army surgeons havo decided that an operation will be necessary to put him in good condition again. The young man is Charles Brooks, of West Indianapolis, and until he was taken sick he sent frequent letters to his mother telling her how much he liked his new service, even going to the length of stating that he had captured the heart of a Cuban girl at Tampa. He spoke enthusiastically of the country and his duties until the time when he became troubled with enlarged glands caused mainly by his being unaccustomed to the ordeal of marching and drills. The army surgeons decided that an operation would make him as good as new and he gave his consent to the plan. Os all this he advised his mother who. naturally solicitous, felt greatly alarmed at the idea of her son being among strangers under such circumstances and she at once decided to take steps to secure his discharge, with or without his own consent. Captain Black very gently explained to her that there was no need to he alarmed over the sickness of her boy as he was receiving the best of care and the operation Is not of a dangerous kind. After pointing out to her that the young man appeared satisfied with his own position and did not betray any alarm over his condition it would be better to allow him to stav in the army if he wished to do so. After a little reflection both the mother and sister of the sick recruit decided that the captain was right and went to their homes much easier in mind. *4 \N ASSEMBLY TENT. Col. Sn.lth’s Hegiment Will Receive n Present from Home. The old Second Regiment of National Guards, now known as the One-hundred-cnd-ttfty-elghth Indiana Volunteers, will have an assembly tent, and the big canvas house, which will be capable of covering five hundred men, will he shipped to the hoys to-day. This action on the part of the Commercial Club Is caused by the receipt of a telegram received yesterday from Col. Harry Smith to the effect that such a tent would be greatly appreciated by the tpen of the regiment, and that there was no doubt that all necessary arrangements could be made for the transportation of the present to any point to which the regiment may be moved. Anticipating such a message, the directors of the Commercial Club went ahead soma days ago as soon as the appropriation was made ror the purpose and gave the orders for the making of the big tent, so that now. when It is certain that the tent will be allowed to go wherever the boys go. there is nothing to do but wait for a few hours until it is finished and send it along to Chickamauga Talk. .While no word has

been received from the War Department at Washington on the subject, it is presumed that Colonel Smith tnade his statement advisedly, and no further assurance is considered necessary. The tent, with chairs and writing tables, will cost S2OO, but it is expected to prove of many times that value to the boys in camp when they desire to get together. THE COLORED REGIMENT. Indiana Not Included in the Published Apportionment. When Military Secretary Wilson read in the morning papers yesterday the apportionment of territory in which the colored reglmen‘-s, commonly known as immunes, are to be raised, and saw that Indiana was not included, he wondered if this meant that the State was to be left out and sent messages to Washington to ascertain the truth. He kept the wires hot, but late last night had received no answer. Colonel Wilson is not inclined to think the plan of organizing a colored battalion in Indiana will fall through. Early in the weeV Senator Fairbanks telegraphed that the War Department had promised to accept a battalion in addition to the State’s quota under the second proclamalion. Senator Fairbanks’s telegram, it is said, was explicit. While Indiana was not included in the territory assigned Thursday, neither was Illinois nor other Western States, and the impression prevails that the apportionment made public was only partial and covered States where colored troops have already been raised, the War Department intending later to make an additional apportionment for the Indiana and other Western men. The Associated Press dispatch of yesterday said that it was "first announced that five of the regiments (the immunes) were to be composed of colored men, but it is now said that this number has been reduced to four.” This is somewhat indefinite and if it should prove that the number of regiments has not "been reduced to four” it is believed probable that Indiana colored volunteers will yet be taken care of. Colonel Wilson seemed to be confident, last night, that things would turn out satisfactorily in the end. It would appear from the apportionment announced yesterday that if Indiana is to be excluded Illinois is also in the same predicament, as well as other Western States with colored troops. It was observed that Adjutant General Corbin’s order only apportioned the territory for regiments of w'hich the colonels have been appointed. In the dispatch only the Third to Tenth Regiments, inclusive, were mentioned. Nothing was said as to whether territory is yet to be assigned in which men for the First and Second Regiments are to be raised. STILL RECRUITING MEN. Captain Black Had Thirty-Two Applicants for Admission Yesterday. The patriotism of Indianians, as displayed at the regular army recruiting office in this city, continues unabated. Thirty-two applicants for enlistment presented themselves to Captain Black yesterday, eighteen of whom were rejected for various causes. The hospital corps received several additions, three of which were notable. Dr. George Turner, of Mohawk, a regular practitioner, who has an application filed with the Governor for a surgeonship in an Indiana regiment, became tired of waiting and took the oath as a private in the hospital corps of the regular army. William Schewe, who has seen seven years’ service in the German army as a hospital steward, also came into the fold with Leopold Mattes, a South Bend pharmacist. These three, with Charles A. Carlyle, of this city, were sent to Fort Sheridan to take a course in practical army methods of hospital work. The artillery received seven additions in the parsons of Hugh Lydon, of this city; Bert Pope, of Marshall, 111.; James D. Edw'ards, of Muncie; August Stratemeyer, of J3atesville; W. J. Adams and William Carpenter, of Orestes, and Charles S. Murr, of Corydon. Murr is an old soldier, having drawn his discharge from Fort Thomas three years ago. The infantry was increased by the addition of Louis A. Pitzer, of Indianapolis; Arthur L. Hartley, of Kit, and Marshall L. Fleming, of Colfax. Fleming has seen seven years’ service in the English army in nearly every quarter of the world, and shows the effects of his contact with a fine school of military ethics. As the equipment has been exhausted at Tampa, the recruits for the artillery service from now on will be sent to Pensacola.

CHANGED TWO COUNTIES. Governor’* Apportionment of the New Regiment. The Journal Thursday morning in an interview with George W. Fitch, of Lawrenceburg, said that the Governor had decided to apportion the twelve companies of the One-hundred-and-sixty-flrst Regiment, if it is organized, among the counties of the Third, Fourth, Sixth and Tenth districts, naming them. On Wednesday Mr. Fitch was informed by the Governor as to what counties were to form the regiment. Mr. Fitch was anxious about Dearborn county. The Journal also said that Governor Mount was not fully determined on one or two of the counties named. Before leaving the city for his farm yesterday morning it is announced that the Governor decided on two changes in the schedule published Thursday. He decided to add Rush county in the Sixth district allotment and substitute Porter for White in the Tenth. Otherwise the schedule remains as published in the Journal Thursday. With these two changes the Governor’s present plan is understood to be as follows: Third district, Clark and Harrison counties; Fourth district, Bartholomew, Jefferson and Dearborn; Sixth district, Wayne, Shelby, Henry and Rush; Tenth district, Laporte, Lake and Porter. Governor Mount said to a Journal reporter before leaving that he would not attempt to designate where the companies were to come from by towns, but would simply call on the different counties to furnish their portion of the regiment. Settling Up the Claims. Adjutant General Gore finds it slow work settling up claims against the State on account of the recent mobilization of the National Guard at Camp Mount. As published in the Journal some days ago, powers of attorney are being sent out to the young men who came here, but did not enlist for various reasons, in order that someone may be authorized to go to the adjutant general’s office and sign the pay rolls. Many of the young men cannot be found. Others do not want to take the trouble of having the papers executed and a good many vexatious delays are arising. Most of the big claims are iust beginning to come in, so that not much has been learned yet with reference to the total expense to which the State has been put. Claim* of Countie*. Some doubt is expressed as to whether the schedule of counties that will be called on for companies for the regiment the Governor expects to have to call will stand. It was asserted last night that White county citizens had received positive assurance that a company was to come from there. It was also asserted that Greeilsburg, in the Fourth district, stands a good show. Ev-Governor Will Cumback is making active efforts for the company from that town. Claims are made that Greensburg is to get one of the companies. liuliunapoll* People Will Go. A number of Indianapolis people who have been anxious to visit the Indiana troops at Chickamauga will take advantage of the C., H. & D. excursion which leaves for there to-day. The Clark County Company. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. JEFFERSONVILLE, lnd., June 3.—A mass meeting will be held at the City Hall Saturday night to organize a crack company of volunteers from Clark county. The principal address will be made by Department Commander Daniel Ryan. L. A. Douglass, a prominent lawyer, and W. H. Drummond are organizing the company.

Mr. Douglass, who will be chosen captain, ilia master of the manual. Mr. Drummond, the lieutenant, cornea from a family of lighters, and has seen service himself. 1 BlufTton's Second Company. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BLI’F’FTON, lnd., June 3.—The second military company is being organised in this city. Forty young men have signed the roll and have passed examination. Twenty dollars has been raised to help buy a tent for the One-hundred-and-slxtieth Indiana Regiment. Lieutenant Colonel W. L. Kiger is expected home to-night. Priaeeton's Colored Company. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. PRINCETON, lnd., June 3,—Capt. John ,W. Mackey, tomoiunding the company of

colored volunteers organized In this city, received orders to-day to have his company in readiness to move at a moment’s notice. The orders were received enthusiastically by the Company, and the men are preparing to move. The company now numbers sixty-seven and the roster is growing. Note*. Claude Hamilton, of Anderson, formerly a student at De Pauvr University, has been made first lieutenant in the Signal Corps, with salary of SI,BOO. He will report at once. He is but twenty-two years old. Maj. George W. Krietenstein, of Governor Mount’s staff, w.ho received word from Captain Biegler, of Company B, One-hundred-and-flfty-ninth Indiana, to get a list of twenty-two men available as recruits at Terre Haute ‘for the company, under the second call for volunteers, took only a few minutes to fill out the list, and Major Krietenstein wired to Indianapolis that the meit are ready and waiting. THEIR NEW CLUBHOUSE MEMBERS OF THE GERMAN CLUB PREPARING FOR A CELEBRATION. Building Nearing Completion—An Elaborate Programme Being Prepared for the Opening Nigh*. * The celebration of the completion of the new German Club building, at Michigan and New Jersey streets, which takes place June 15, 16 and 18, is being arranged on a scale of magnificence that is calculated to lead to the belief that no regard to expense is contemplated by the committee in charge. At first sight the programme for the opening night looks to be the most formidable of the entire series, including, as it does, a three-act spectacular production, entitled, “German Gifts,” by Conrad Nies, in which, beside the brilliant array of performers, there will be a great number of people on the stage dressed in the folk costumes of the fatherland. The cast will contain in all fifty persons; the costuming, the stage effects are all new and expensive, and, as the performers have been in active rehearsal for some time, a fine performance is expected. For Wednesday night, June 15, an extensive programme has been arranged, which includes addresses by Herman Lleber and John L. Griffiths, with musical selections by the Maennerchor, Gemischter chorus and orchestra. Eight numbers in all precedes the production of “German Gifts,” which has been especially written for this occasion by the great German-American poet, Konrad Nies. SOMETHING ABOUT THALIA. According to the play, Thalia, the muse of the comedy, tells the audience that she has come down from Olympus to attend the festivities, and she has brought with her a gift for the occasion, namely—a festival play, the first to be produced in the new and beautiful hall. It opens in a woodland scene. A collection of German-Americans, representative of the various States of the country, are gathered about amusing themselves. Animated conversations between Messrs. Richard Oppel, Otto Stechhan, Henry Moesch, Herm. Kaulla, CJottl. Grueb, Armin Bohn, Adolph Brandt, Paul Jancke, Otto Mayer and Victor Landgraf bring out a spirit of clannishness owing to a tendency on the part of all of the players to cling to the peculiarities for which their former homes across the *ocean are famed. While conversation is at its height the genius of the German language (Peter Scherer) appears. He soundly berates them all for antagonizing each other instead of uniting in a common cause for a common good, admonishing them to consider themselves Germans, and not Prussians, Bavarians or Saxonians. He then speaks of a place where the Germans have forgotten their petty clannishness, and have in' harmony created a great work, bidding them follow him to that place. The next scene shows the new Deutsche Haus. In front of it, on elevated seats, are Columbia (Mrs. Mamie Schulmeyer), to her right the Genius of the German language, and to her left the Genius of the Deutsche Haus (Mrs. Carl Lieber.) Germans appear in their folk costumes and present to the Genius of the Haus their gifts, consisting of German characteristics or features introduced by Germans in this country. They appear in the form of allegorical characters and are; Sociability (Mrs. Olga Bertermann), the Walz (Miss Frieda Krull), Bavarian Beer (Miss Helen Grape), Rheinwein (Mrs. Anna Elliott), Turnerei, physical culture (Mr. Robert Lieber), Christmas Tree (Miss Philippine Deluse), German Music (Miss Emma Metzger), the German Lied, song (Miss Emily Kipp.) Columbia welcomes them all. recognizing the import of the acquisition of traits that have had so wonderful an influence in her national character, but she more especially welcomes Song and Music, to whom she addresses herself as follows: "Welcome, thou beloved sister-pair! No more as strangers to my sons do you

appear; For the sturdy settlers of the rugged West A bridge you’ve built to realms of the fair and beautiful. Ye, my beloved, ever-welcome guests, Ennobling, glorifying the feast days of our land. At my side a place shall be reserved for you. Comp, teach my nation how to dream and happy be.” After accepting the gifts, the Genius of the Haus asks Columbia’s love and protection, and the play closes with the following lines, rendered by the Genius of the German Language: “And comes the hour, in days yet to appear, When silently my kingdom shall have flown. When in tradition, but, In half-forgotten lore, The German tongue shall In America be known. Reproach me not, for but the hull will then be gone; The kernel will remain; Its soul will be with thee; The German spirit, its legacies, its gifts. Will with Columbia’s being interwoven be; And therefore now, in words, in deeds, in melody, The ennobling seed of German Genius spread; To what is true this house shall consecrated be, And what e’er grand and good here find a fountainhead.” GRAND BALL AND BANQUET. The play is to bo produced by the members of the dramatic section of the Social Turnverein, managed by Mr. Phil. Rappaport, the scenic arrangements are in the hands of Mr. Richard Lieber. who has also designed the costumes, and Mr. William J. Forsyth has made the drawings for the costumes. The scenery has been painted by Mr. H. Meixner, of Chicago. On Thursday night there will be a grand ball and banquet, at w'hich two full orchestras will render dance and promenade music throughout the evening. On this occasion the variety of dances offered will, according to the programme, be sufficient to satisfy rhe most critical follower of the terpsiehorean art. Saturday night will witness the closing event of the festival. On this occasion there will be an overflow of good fellowship and patriotism from all hands. Participation in the real functions will be restricted to the gentlemen and will begin with music by the orchestra, followed by alternate songs and toasts, as follows: Eroffnungs-lled—"Stimmt an mlt hellem, hohen Klang.” Toast—“ Our Country” ••••••••••• Herr C. E. Emmerich Lied—“ The Star-spangled Banner.” Toast—"Das Deutsche Haus.” Herr Otto Stechhan Lied—“Bruder reicht die Han zum Bunde.” Toast—" Der deutsche Geist” • • Herr Phil. Rappaport Lied—“Sah eln Knab’ ein Roslein stehn.” Toast—" Die deutsche Turnerei” Herr Theo. fetempfel Lied—" Turner auf zum Streite.” Toast—"Das deutsche Lied”-............. .Herr Richard Lieber Lied—"Freut Eucli des Lebens.” Fidelltas. Friday of the gala week will be reception day. when the general public is invited to inspect the building between the hours of 2 and 6 p. m. From the elaborate arrangements made by the committee in charge it will' be safe to predict that the "house wanning" at the “Deutsche Haus ' will be one of the social features of the .year. Corporation*. The Munson Company, of Laporte. an eleotric manufacturing concern, with a capital of SIOO,OOO. filed articles of Incorporation yesterday. The directors are Wm. R. Everett, John If Munson, Wm. A. Roberts, Peter J. Heldt and Leroy A. Strlngham. The M. A. Sweeney Shipyard and laundry Company, of Jeffersonville, capital $20.000. filed articles of incorporation. The company will build steamboats and other water craft. Michael A. and James W. bweeney.

Torbitt, who shot and killed John Wesley Beckham last Sunday, was released on bond by Judge Cox yesterday morning. John R. Pearson was his surety. Torbitt was released on the strength of the coroner's verdict, which is to the effect that Torbitt acted in self-defense. Three witnesses to the shooting testified that Beckham was the aggressor in the trouble the two men had; that he advanced to Torbitt with drawn knife and exclaimed, "I’m going to kill you;” that Torbitt tried to avoid the trouble, and Anally, to prevent Beckham cutting him, drew his pistol and fired. Y. W. C. A, Programme. An interesting programme has been arranged for the third annual meeting of the Young Women's Christian Association at the association building on North Meridian street near New York street next Monday night.

An Establishment Showing the Effect of the Recognition of Modern Ideas and Methods In This Profession. A business move that has attracted considerable attention during the past week is the change of location of the well-known tailoring establishment of Young & McMurray. They are now in their new quarters, at No. 42 North Pennsylvania street, in the room formerly occupied by Ward’s art store. Messrs. Young & McMurray have made of their new location the handsomest business room of Its kind in the city. Five years ago, when they began business here, they were the first to advocate the Idea that a man likes to have the place where he buys his clothes as up-to-date and pleasant to look at as he expects the clothes to be when they are finished. In furnishing their new quarters they have elaborated and perfected this idea. The display room is lighted by Luxfer prisms, affording the patrons the benefit of judging the appearance and quality of the different weaves by daylight. On entering the room the visitor Is pleased with the rich color effect of the decorations, which is heightened by the excellent light received through the prisms. The goods are arranged in a handsome display, and form the principal decorative feature, although the furnishings blend most harmoniously. At the rear is a large plate glass mirror, concealing the cutting department, dressing rooms, etc. The furniture Is of massive, solid oak. The chairs and settees, of which there is an abundance, are upholstered in solid leather, and made from special designs. It is this advocacy of modern ideas, and this prompt adoption of up-to-date methods and timely thoughts, that has brought success to Young & McMurray and given them the lead among the few thoroughly artistic tailors of this city. As Mr. McMurray aptly expresses it, “We are always up to date and usually a season ahead of the times. We always remember that there is nothing too good for our patrons.” To any one who would like to see what a thoroughly modern tailoring establishment Is, a visit to Messrs. Young & McMurray’s is enjoyable.
