A riot occurred last night between 11 and 12 o'clock at the corner of Glen Drive and Station street, in Brightwood, in which Patrolmen Woodard’s face was torn, James Leach's scalp was gashed and Frank Rush'a head was cut. It was feared at an early hour this morning that Rush’s skull was fractured. A crowd of about .rough young fellows tried to get into Rush’s saloon. It was after 11 o'clock and Rush refused them admittance. They tried to force their way in. Rush stepped back and blew his police whistle. This brought Patrolmen Woodard and Kahn. As they ran up Woodard was struck in the face with a beer glass. He must have received a blow on the head at the same time, for he was stunned. James Leach, who happened along, ran to Woodard’s assistance but was struck on the head and knocked down before he reached the prostrate policeman. The tight continued and Rush was struck on the head with some instrument. Patrolman Kahn fired his revolver and this frightened the gang away. Dr. Jclinson was called and he attended the injured men until Leach's horse and buggy was brought. Leach then brought Woodard down to the police station.

SHE ASSUMED THE BLAME EFFIE CORDELL RELEASED ON MINNIE GRAYSON’S TESTIMONY. • # The Woman Who Waa Shot Had Made Threats Other Grand Jury Caeca. • —• The grand jury which adjourned yesterday failed to find an indictment against Effe Cordell, who shot Minnie Grayson in a room on South Illinois street. The womis out on bond, and the jury, after investigating the case, reported there was not sufficient evidence on which to bring an indictment. The shooting occurrred about two months ago, and was the result of a quarrel over a man. Miss Grayson went to the room of Effie Cordell and found the latter at home. A few wards passed between the women, and Miss Cordell blazed away with her revolver. Miss Grayson was not fatally wounded, and last week was called before the grand jury. The Cordell woman left the city soon after the shooting and was not before the jury. Miss Grayson, on being questioned, declared she was entirely to blame for the trouble. She said she had threatened to kill Effie Cordell, and she knew these threats must have reached the woman's ears. She declared she did not blame the other woman for shooting her, and begged the jurors to let her enemy go without punishment. While this request did not influence the jury in its finding, the members readily saw that an indictment could not be found on this kind of evidence. At the time of the shooting Effie Cbrdell said she fired in self-defense. She told the police that Miss Grayson, on entering the room, had made a movement with her hand as if she were about to draw a weapon. The witness denied to the grand jury that she made any attempt to draw a pistol. Effie Cordell has since been married to tne man over whom the encounter arose. Among the indictments returned by the jury were the following: ..ndrew Payton, assault and battery with intent to kill; Louis Jones, grand larceny; SI Goudy, assault and battery; Frank Smith, petit larceny; Ida Washington, receiving stolen goods; Arthur Melvin, burglary and grand larceny; Arthur Melvin, burglary and petit larceny; James A. McLaughlin, assault and battery with intent to kill; Humbert Sickinger, assault and battfery with intent to kill; Hubert Sickinger, kidnaping; Lillie Harrington and Fannie Morris, grand larceny; Stephen Groke, assault and battery. The jury recommended the discharge of the following prisoners for lack of evidence on which to find indictments: Elmer and Bert Moore, charged with child stealing; Dallas Whitehead and Charles Manahan, false pretenses; Mathew Gayton, petit larceny; William Killalea, criminal assault; Clarence Williams, embezzlement; Effie Cordell, assault and battery to kill: Lake Morrison, receiving stolen goods. The following cases were continued for further investigation: Meade Taylor, robbery; Ashton Jenkins and Arthur Kelly, assault and battery to commit rape; William Taylor, robbery; Edward Jones, grand larceny; William Fitzpatrick, charged wnn murder; Phillip Toiler, grand larceny; Carl Harvey, false pretense; William and Emma Craig, false pretense; Charles Madison and Henry Mathews, grand larceny; Thomas O’Brien, grand larceny. During the session the jury examined 121 witnesses and returned 21 indictments. Divorce Complaints. In the Superior Court John Dagllsh brought suit yesterday for divorce from Mary Daglish.

A WAGON LOAD OF BRASS. {hcitlng Chase After the Negro, Who Escaped. There was an exciting chase after a colored thief yesterday morning, in which a hundred citizens joined a policeman in his efforts to capture the fugitive. It seems that the patrolman saw the colored man driving a wagonful of brasses which he had stolen and promptly placed him under arrest. The policeman mounted the seat and started to drive to the police station. At the corner of Pennsylvania and Maryland streets the colored man suddenly attacked the patrolman, half pushing and half knocking him to the street, after which he himself jumped down and fled. He ran toward Meridian street, down which he turned and ran to Georgia. Then he ran west and south agatn through the tunnel. He had a good start over the patrolman, who was, nevertheless, able to keep him in sight. By the time the colored man got through the tunnel others who had joined with the patrolman in the chase were gaining on him rapidly. He ran east on South street. As he crossed Pogue’s run workmen waiting to get into a shoo there saw him and followed. He darted down an alley and at last escaped. He was last seen on Eddy street. The police are keeping the escape quiet. They are reported to have the man’i horse and wagonload of stolen brasses. One of those who were in the chase said he recognized the officer as Patrolman Houser. At the police station las) night ignorance of the story was professed, He feed Short Measures.

ANOTHER SEYMOUR MOB ♦ GEORGE HARRIi UNDER ARREST FOR SHOOTING THE MARSHAL. $ A Desperate Character for Years Lets Go with a Revolver While Being Arrested —State News. ■ # Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SEYMOUR, Ind., Sept. 3.—City Marshal Abe Thicksten was shot about noon to-day by George Harris, a desperate character, whom the marshal attempted to arrest on the charge of profanity. When within ten feet of the latter Harris wheeled about and began shooting at the officer with a revolver. The first shot struck the top of the marshal’s head, making a scalp wound. Three shots were fired by Harris, but after the first shot Marshal Thicksten closed in on the man, and, by the use of his mace, succeeded in rendering the revolver useless, and Dr. G. G. Graessle took it out of Harris’s hand. Harris then got Thicksten’s left thumb in his mouth and almost bit it off. The loss of blood weakened both men and they fell to the sidewalk in a swoon. The marshal was taken to the office of Dr. Graessle, where it was found that only one shot had struck him. Harris, bleeding from a broken head, was taken to the city jail. The trouble created intense excitement and large crowds collected around the physician’s office and the jail. Harris has been in trouble all of his life at diffeient times. The charge of assault and battery with intent to kill was read to Harris in the city jail this evening. He waived examination and was immediately taken in a carriage to the Brownstown jail. Judge Hoover and Prosecuting Attorney Honan took this precaution in order to prevent any violence being done to the prisoner to-night. Marshal Thicksten is suffering very much to-night with the thumb that was bitten by Harris. It is badly swollen, and there are fears of blood poisoning. % Brownstown Desperado Caught. - Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

RUSH COUNTY CAMPAIGN Opened Yesterday at Carthage with Much Enthusiasm. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CARTHAGE, Ind., Sept. 3.—Rush county Republicans to-day opened the campaign with a meeting that was an agreeable surprise to the local committee, which had not expected much of a turnout on account of the excessive heat and the fact that the Rush county fair had been in progress all week and everybody was tired. The meeting was marked by much enthusiasm and the size of the crowd indicated that neither hot weather nor anything else can keep down Republican spirits this year. Meetings were held during the afternoon and night in the grove near this place, J. Frank Hanley, candidate for United States senator, being the orator of the afternoon meeting, and James E. Watson, candidate for Congress, of the evening. Charles S. Hernly, chairman of the Republican State central committee, presided at the afternoon meeting, while James Bingham, of Muncie, Miles K.

The stand for the speakers was gaily decorated with bunting and flags. Music for the meetings was furnished by the Ladies’ Band, of Cincinnati, and the Arlington Band. While there was no attempt at a great rally, the meeting was a success, at night, especially, hundreds of people driving into town to attend. The speech of J. Frank Hanley was received with much favor. Mr. Hanley discussed the war and the question of territorial expansion, and his views were received with applause. Miles K. Moffett presided at the night meeting and introduced Mr. Watson, who made a strong impression.

FIGHT IN COURTROOM. The Lie Given and Two Luke County Lawyers Went at It. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CROWN POINT, Ind., Sept. 3.—A fistic encounter occurred in Judge Cleveland’s court to-day between Attorney Sheerer, of Hammond, and State's Attorney Bruce, of this city, and several blows were passed before the bout came to an end. The trouble arose over an answer of a witness at a previous trial. Attorney Bruce made a statement, which was denied by Sheerer, and Bruce immediately declared he told a falsehood. Sheerer did not make an ultimatum, but at once dared the state’s attorney to make the statement again, and Bruce did so and called him a liar the second time and emphasized it by pounding the table with great force. The Hammond-lawyer jumped to his feet, made a pass at Bruce, and for a few seconds the judge, jury and spectators witnessed a sparring match. The two men had been at swords’ points all during the trial and the set-to was half expected by the audience. Attorney Bowers, who was assisting Bruce, took refuge on the platform near his Honor, and Judge Cleveland was so thunderstruck that he forgot to declare order. It Is thought that the trouble between the two will not end here, as neither made an apology to the judge. MURDER AT CLINTON. Colored Miners Flight Over Suit of Clothes, and One Dies.

Summer School French, German, Spanish At reduced rates. Address: Dr. WILLIAM YAEGER 13 East Eleventh street. G. A. R. ILLUMINATION - ... ■ CINCINNATI TIT*NS ON THE LIGHTS FOR HER BIG DISPLAY. ♦ Advance Gnnrd for the Encampment Arrives—Speculation on Comman-der-In-Chief Contest. ♦ CINCINNATI, Sept. 3.—As there wer* quite a number of arrivals to-day for the thirty-second National Encampment of the G. A. R., which begins next Monday, the city was illuminated to-night as a sort of opening welcome. Tho arches at prominent street intersections and other structures at prominent points in the city are very elaborate, and with the most liberal use of electric lights the most brilliant effects were produced. Elaborate demonstrations have been arranged for every night next week, and there will be street parades on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, The business sessions of the encampment will not begin until Thursday, after all the parades are over. The advance workers for Col. James A. Sexton of Chicago, Col. A. D, Shaw of New York, Mr. I. F. Mack of Ohio, and others for commander-in-chief are already here. In the event that the new commander-in-chief is not an Ohio man there will be no opposition to W. C. Johnson, of this city, for senior vice commander-in-chief, as all of the posts of this city and vicinity have agreed on him. While many minor changes will be pro-; posed, it is anticipated that the proposition to recommend to Congress the return of the Confederate flags will attract more attention than any other question. As the Confederate Veterans generally have been invited to co-operate in the encampment, and they are prominently represented on the local committees, it is expected that mucij more favorable consideration will be given to this proposition than ever before. It Is argued by those who arc actively favoring this recommendation that the Federal and Confederate soldiers have been fighting together in the Spanish war, and that the present is ar. opportune occasion for the final disposition of the old issue on the return of the flags. This question will be touched on at the ‘Vamp-fires” on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, before the business session of the encampment begins on Thursday. The ladles of the G. A, R. and the Woman's Relief Corps will take a prominent part in the agitation of this question. The general officers of the Grand Army and representatives of the different departments will arrrive on Monday. Th* Governors of different States and their staffs are announced to arrive on Tuesday morning. The Indications now are for cool and pleasant weather- and a very large attendance. The advance guard began arriving to-day. These early arrivals arc arranging tin headquarters of different State department* for the posts that will be here Monday. Quite a demonstration is expected on Monday. as the Labor day parade will be th* opening event after the dedication of the camps. The naval parade Is on Tuesday, the Grand Army parade on Wednesday and the civic ami lndutrial parade, with the peace jubilee, on Thursday. Denver Deleantlon on the Way. ; DENVER, Col., Sept. 3.—Several hundred representatives of the Colorado and Wyoming Department of the G. A. R. and affiliated orders, accompanied by the George W. Cool* drum corps, left this city to-night in a spa* cial train for Cincinnati to attend the National Encampment. The train goes over th* Union Pacific to Kansas <*ity, th • Chicago & Alton to St. Louis and the B. & O. Southwestern to Cincinnati.
