Frederick Paulding, the well-known leading man, arrived yesterday to begin rehearsals with the Grand Stock Company, lie will take the place vacated by Benjamin Horning and will appear in the part of John Strebelow, in “The Banker’s Daughter,” which will be put on next week by the stock company. Mr. Paulding has played numerous engagements here, the last time with Walker Whiteside. For several years he was Margaret Mather’s leading man, and for two reasons was with the JeffersonFlorenee Comedy Company, playing Cap.tain Absolute in “The Rivals” and Dick Dow las in “The Heir-at-Law.” In the same cast were Joseph Jefferson, W. J. Florence, Viola Allen, F. C. Bangs and others. For a time Mr. Paulding starred in “The Struggle of Life.” With Walker Whiteside he played Do Maunrat to Whiteside’s Richelieu, Vidoche in “The Man in Black,” and the King in Hamlet. After leaving Whiteside Mr. Paulding was in a San Francisco stock company. To the part of Strebelow in “The Banker’s Daughter” Mr. Paulding brings all the valuable experience which his long stage career has given him. Dan Daly was in much better voice last night and sang his “Belle of New York” songs with the old-time droll expression that made them such a hit at English’s last season. Theatergoers in search of capital entertainment with something going on every minute that is worth remembering should bear in mind that “The Belle” will give a matinee to-day and close its engagement at English's with to-night’s performance. While Dan Daly, Helen Lord, Queenie Vassal-, D. L. Don, Catherine Linyard and William Cameron occupy the most attention, there is a great deal in “The Belle” besides these excellent performers. Among the women there are several in minor role who •*cie candidates for advancement and whose ■vivacity and charm assisted largely in helping to make the show enjoyable. Miss “Bobby” Burns may not have the roly-poly shape of Paula Edwards for the Mamie t'.aic y role, but she is plentifully endowed with the soubrette talent and gives promise of something better in the future. Then there i the petite Nella Webb as Kissie Fitzgarter, a regular little French doll beauty, who gives more promise than Edna Wallace did at the same age. Her conduct in the frothy role of Kissie is a constant delight. The faces in the chorus, particularly those of the six bridesmaids, are also strikingly attractive. The performance last night was better, if anything, that that of the first night. Helen Lord, as the Salvation lassie, has the sort of beauty that captures the audience at once and is probably of the kind more admin and by the men than by the wornon. Then is only one woman in a thousand with such a complexion, and It is still more rarely found coupled with real dramatic talent. The second visit of “The Belle” will be remembered as one of the brightest and best things of the season, as well as one of the most prosperous. “The Private Secretary,” so well played by the Grand Stock Company, is amusing large audiences at that theater and will continue to do so all week. There will be a m; tine, to-day and another one Saturday. “Tli ' Plicate Secretary” is just the sort of thrills to make people forget their cares, if th \ hav ? any, for there is not a serious moment in it. Digby Beil’s many friends in this city should not overlook his one performance Thursday night at English’s, squeezed in 1> tween two such popular attractions as ' The Bello of New York” and Alice Nielsen in “The Fortune Teller.” Asa domestic comedy w ith many dainty touches of pathos, “Tli Hoosler Doctor’’ contains that characteristic charm of the other plays turned out by Augustus Thomas. The story is one of tin- most wholesome and as descriptive of the tyj e found in an Indiana village as any o' plays yet located as to scene in this State. Seats for “Jack and the Beanstalk,” which returns to English's the first three < avs of next week will be placed on sale at English’s Thursday morning. Hopkins’s Transoceanics had another big day at the Park yesterday, the audiences crowding the theater in every part. Kara, the juggler, is certainly a remarkable artist in hi> line, and his juggling feats are the s. nsutior al feature of an unusually good vaudeville bill. The Transoceanics remain ail week. If the Empire should run a series of entertainments similar to “In Atlantic City,” which is attracting attention this week, family parties at that house might become a regular thing. At English’s Opera House on Friday and Saturday, with Saturday matinee, “The Fortune Teller," the newest opera by Victor Herbert and Harry B. Smith, will be 1- .anted by Alice Nielsen and her company. Miss Nielsen left the pleasantest memories here when she was the principal soprano of the Bostonians, and Eugene Cowles as her leading support is a singer of strong individual drawing powers himself. Il‘ is the recognized premier basso of this country. Other members of Miss Nielsen’s supporting company are Richard Golden. who starred for many years as old Jed Piouty, and who will also be remembered for his more recent work as the bibulous Ling in “The Isle of Champagne," and Joseph Herbert, for a long time the chief dispenser of mi rut at Daly's Theater, New York, and well known as the greatest of Ko Ko’s and the creator of the character of the eccentric Frenchman In “The Girl from Paris.” Other talented members of the company are Joseph Cawthorn, who has also been a star. Paul Nicholson, Frank IcusliWorth. William Rochester, Marguerite Sylva and Jennie Hawley. Herbert’s music is said to be infused with the spirit of Hunra’ian melody, and to contain many beautiful and catchy airs, while the finales of his acts are described us stirring and imposing.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4, 1899.

THE CAUCUSES TO-NIGHT HOUSE AND SENATE WILL MAKE THEIR APPOINTMENTS. * Legislative Session Open* To-Morrow —Senatorial Contest I* Growing Vigorous. Among the legislators and candidates yesterday was not devoted to social affairs, for the finishing work in the senatorial contest was commenced, and the fight was soon brought down to bedrock basis. The followers of every candidate were yesterday and last night subjected to a hard hammering, and every argument and effort known was brought to bear on them to cast their votes for one or the other of the candidates. The large element of uncommitted and unpledged members is rather disquieting to those engaged in the contest, and some of the members refuse to commit themselves until after the organization of both branches of the Legislature. In the interval such great pressure is being brought to bear on them 'by friends of every candidate that it is feared that the unpledged men who go into the caucus will be larger in number than was originally anticipated. The Hanly men were busy all day. In the morning a caucus of Hanly followers was held, at which, it was said, there were twen-ty-two members of the Legislature present. Senator W. L. Ball, of Muneie, came in during the day and declared for Hanly first, last and all the time. Last evening another caucus of Hanly men was held, at which, it was reported, there were twenty-six members of the Legislature. The meetings were said to have been held merely for the purpose of getting the followers of the same man acquainted with one another and for a mutual congratulation society. Representative Knotts, who is one of the most enthusiastic Ht.nly men in the Denison, said last evening: “The organization of Hanly cannot be broken under any circumstances, for it is perfect. We know every man and how he will vote. It is not our purpose to quarrel with any one, and we will not do it, for we have but the kindest feelings toward all the candidates. We know* we are In the lead, and we believe that the fight will be between Hanly and Beveridge. Some are of the opinion that it will be Ilaniy and Taylor, but it does not seem so to me.” The Hanly forces received a further addition yesterday by the arrival of Representative James Watson and of It. J. Tracewell, controller of the treasury. The latter was a member of Congress during Mr. Hanly’s term. Senator Culbcrt was another of the day’s arrivals, and he at once plainly stated his position on the senatorial matter: Said he: “I am absolutely uncommitted and unpledged to any candidate for senator. I believe that I was sent here for the purpose of legislation, and that will be my first endeavor. I don’t intend to lose any sleep over the senatorial matter, and I won’t cry my eyes out if any candidate is defeated.” MAJ. STEELE AND GLASS WORKERS.

The Steele men received an unexpected tribute yesterday. Some time ago an article appeared in the trade paper of the Window-glass Workers, which, on the face of it, appeared to reflect on Mr. Steele's conduct when the tariff bill was before the ways and means committee of Congress. Mr. Steele wrote an explanation to the national president, Mr. Simon Burns, of Pittsburg, and in reply received the following letter: “Sir—ln answer to yours of the 24th inst. will say that I don’t believe the article referred to was intended to injure you, as I know that, the same article was published In many of the leading papers here and the Commoner had it as a news item for tho trade. I have just had a talk with the editor and he verifies what I have said. They copied it from a Philadelphia paper, and he says they did so because they considered it a scheme of Eastern jobbers. Now, I am glad you wrote me, and I wish you had done so sooner. It is true that we fail sometimes to remember what we owe good, reliable and true friends like Congressman G. W. Steele, of Indiana. I know there is no man that has done more or so much as yourself in assisting the window-glass workers, not only of Indiana, but of the whole country, more especially in securing a hearing before the ways and means committee even after some manufacturers tried to sidetrack our committee. There w r as no uncertainty as to w hat you meant when you said, in plain and forcible language, that the workers should have a hearing, no matter who tried to interfere therewith. My memory is very good with reference to all that took place, not only then, but later on. I especially remember when I called you out of the House chamber and informed you of what members of the Senate finance committee, which had the bill in charge, had said, and that they seemed to be afraid of saying or doing something that would offend others, when you informed me that the Senate glass schedule w'ould not be acceptable to the House committee, and that no matter what the senators said, or any one else, that the schedule as set forth in the House, or Dingley bill, was the one the window-glass workers w r anted and the one they were going to have. I need not say it was the one they did secure, through such stanch friends as yourself and others. If at any time the win-dow-glass workers of Indiana can be of assistance to you I would be glad to see evervone of them write letters and join in passing resolutions and signing petitions to their representatives, requesting them to favor you. I hope the members of this organization will feel called upon to take an active interest in your affairs. While I am opposed to the association going into politics, I am not opposed to their helping you in return for what you have done in assisting us to win our contest. I am personally ready to do anything fair and honest, or in other words, whatever you would have me do, in forwarding your interests, on account of your standing by our organization when it needed help. Wishing you success, etc.” In addition to the foregoing Mr. Burns called a meeting of the national executive board to take action on the matter, and as the result of that meeting the following resolutions were adopted and sent to Major Steele: “The national executive board of the WinGbass Workers, L. A. 300, K. of L., mot at I ittsburg on Monday in response to a cull by President Simon Burns and adopted the following resolutions, which were ordered transmitted to the various branches of the association in Indiana: “Whereas, When the ways and means committee that framed the Dingley tariff pill was giving headings to the representatives of the different industries the committee representing the window glass manufacturers was given a hearing and subsequently an attempt was made to deny and prevent the window glass workers from having a hearing, Congressman George W bteele, of Indiana, insisted that the workers’ committee should be heard, no matter who or how many objected, and it was through George W. Steele’s firm and determined stand that the workers’ committee was given a hearing, at the time required to present their necessities to the ways and means committee, and “Whereas, The ways and means committee did frame a tariff bill with a schedule on window glass as requested by the worker committee and said schedule was adopted by the House, and “Whereas, When the United States Senate was about to make radical changes and cut the duty on window glass and other products requiring protection George W. Steele was again asked by the workers’ committee to assist them, and he said that it did not make any difference what the Senate did, the House would never allow them to substitute any schedule for the Dingley rate on window glass or any other industry that required protection, and "Whereas, Major Steele was always ready to meet the representatives of the WindowGlass Workers and give them all the attention ard help possible, therefore, be it\ “Resolved, That the executive board of Window Glass Workers’ Local Assembly No. 300, K. of L.. representing this organization. Indorses the candidacy of Congressman George W. Steele, of Indiana, for the United States Senate to succeed Senator Turpie, and that all members, preceptors and officers of this organization are requested to promptly concur in this resolution and to forward a copy of the same to their state senators and representatives at Indianaplis requesting them to support George W. Steele for United States senator, as we believe him worthy of the highest office the great State of Indiana has within Its gift." The Steele men were in high feather over this action, as there are between 3.000 and 5,000 members of this organization and allied organizations within the gas belt of Indiana. SCOTT OUT FOR BEVERIDGE. The Beveridge men were, likewise, in high glee last evening. The. first thing after the arrival of Capt. A. AL Scott, a banker, of

Ladoga, and one of the old members, was his announcement for Beveridge in the foi•owing signed statement: “As there has been some question about my position, I make this statement in order that it may be definitely known. After mature' reflection and investigation, I am convinced that Albert J. Beveridge is the most available man for the United States Senate. His ability as a lawyer, his painstaking care as a student, and his great power before the people make him an ideal choice. I have come to this conclusion independently after independent and personal consideration and investigation, and not at the dictation of anybody. I believe that a man of Albert J. Beveridge’s well-anown enewy, great industry and acknowledged ability will do the party more good in our campaigns before the people and in solving the questions now before the country than any other man; and tins I say with the greatest possible respect for all. Besides this, Albert J. Beveridge has earned this reward at the hands of the party. 1 make this statement, too, as a business man. 1 was nominated as a supporter of General Lew Wallace, and stood with him as long as he was in the race. General Wallace withdrew, and refused to indicate to me who his choice is. Therefore I went into a long and patient investigation as to whom I should support, with the decided and emphatic result that Albert J. Beveridge is the man. This independent conclusion also voices the sentiments of my constituents.” Tiie formal opening of the headquarters of the business men of Indiana was made at 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon. This organization occupies Room 39, next to Judge Taylor’s headquarters, and during the evening there were over seventy-five of the most prominent business men of this city present and all of them putting in their best work for Beveridge. Mr. D. M. Parry said, last evening: “This is not an organization of Indianapolis business men only, but from all parts of the State. Having just opened this evening, there were but few here from out of the city, but to-morrow we expect a large number from out of town, and the number will increase every day.” Mr. Beveridge himself will open headquarters to-day at the Denison and all candidates will then be located there. His room will be No. 24. Mr. Posey said, last evening, that he had gained some votes during the day and he is of the opinion that with the constant hammering now going on against the following of all candidates, some break will be caused and that he will profit by it. The Taylor headquarters w r ere filled during the afternoon and evening and Judge Taylor’s friends claimed that he was gaining strength beyond their expectations. Senator Binkley, of Richmond, who is counted by the Taylor men as one of them, arrived late last night. The Taylor men held u caucus last night and it was reported that there were eighteen members of the Legislature present. Representative Overstreet arrived during the day and again frankly stated that he favors Beveridge. The rumor was circulated that Representative Fails would be here to take part in the campaign, but this was vigorously denied by his friends, who say that he will not take any part in it whatever. Mr. Paris himself stated explicitly, when he was here on his way home from Washington, that he would take no part in it whatever. THE CAUCUS TO-NIGHT. The caucus of each branch of the Legislature will be held this evening for the organization. The Senate caucus will be held in the rooms of the lieutenant governor at the Statehouse, at 8 o’clock. The House caucus will be held in Room 112 of the Statehouse. It was suggested yesterday that the senatorial caucus be held on Friday evening of this week, but the suggestion did not meet general approval. The Hanly men said they were ready for the caucus at any time now and will simply await the pleasure of the other candidates. It having been generally understood that the senatorial caucus will be held on next Tuesday evening, there is little probability that a change will be maue front that date. Last evening Mr. John J. Hayes, representative from South Bend, arrived and announced that he is not committed or pledged to any candidate for senator. He says that the sentiment in his county is much divided between Tuyjor, Beveridge, Hanly and bteele. The caucus of the Democrats of both the House and Senate will be held this evening at the Grand Hotel. There is but little contest for the honor of the complimentary vote and in the Senate it is probable that the complimentary vote for president pro tern, will be cast for Senator J H Shea, of Scottsburg, although there is some talk that Senator Charles P. Drummond of Plymouth, will contest for the honor. For the minor positions but one man has been mentioned. Senator Minor, of Cannelton, will present the name of Mr. Casper Gardner, the chairman of the Democratic committee of Perry county, for the position of doorkeeper of the Senate, and he will receive the complimentary vote for that position, as he has no opposition. There has been but little discussion of the vote in either House or Senate, but it is practically agreed that the Democrats will vote for Representative William H. Eichorn, of Bluffton, for speaker. Thus far the other places are yet to be tilled. The complimentary vote for United States senator will be cast for Senator David Turpie.

The Child in Politic*. It has long been the wonder of politicians of other States as to how Indiana can send men to Washington who suddenly leap into national prominence, but there is a hint to Indiana’s thorough method of training politicians in the vigorous campaigning of the small boys who desire to be pages. One of them became so interested in his race that he personally visited the Journal office and asked that his candidacy be given due prominence, and hence it is announced that Sidney Selig, of 905 North Capitol avenue, is a candidate for the position of page of the Senate. The methods of campaigning adopted by these youthful aspirants and their activity can produce nothing but expert politicians in the years to come. Wliat a Local Poll Show*. A poll was yesterday made of a few of the laboring men of the city to gain their preference for senator. In the Panhandle shops 56 declared for Beveridge, 3 for Steele and 14 for “any good Republican.” In the Big Four shops 34 were for Beveridge, 15 for Steele, 13 tor Hanly, 10 for Taylor and 5 noncommitidl. In the Malleable iron works 47 were for Beveridge, 5 for Taylor, 2 for Hanly, 4 for Steele and 11 noncommittal. Os the street-car men interrogated 36 were for Beveridge. 23 for Taylor, 19 for Hanly and 16 for Steele. Taylor’* Friends Resent Hanly Talk. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WINCHESTER, Ind., Jan. 3.—There has been great interest manifested in the senatorial race in Randolph county in the past two weeks. Many of Judge Taylor’s friends went to Indianapolis to-day to assist in looking after his Interests. This county, as w r ell as Jay, is decidedly for him. The joint senator from Jay and Randolph, who lives in Jay, announced himself for Hanly last week on the ground that the sentiment of his own county was for Hanly. q'his has only intensified the interest in Judge Taylor's candidacy, as the statement Is without foundation and entirely misleading. Judge Taylor has two votes to any other candidate’s one in Randolph county, and his friends think he is even stronger in Jay. Four of the Republican papers of this county have declared for Judge Taylor, and say that their position is supported by public sentiment. If the wish of the people of this part of the State is to be carried out Judge Taylor will get its solid support. All Figured Out at Hartford City. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. HARTFORD CITY, Ind., Jan. 3.-Over seventy-five influential and prominent business men signed the petition circulated here indorsing Major Steele in less than two hours, and it was immediately forwarded to Representative Bonham. Had the matter been thought of sooner the list would no doubt have been swelled to several hundred subscribers. Another petition will probably be circulated for the signatures of those who did not get an opportunity to sign the first one. To-day the Republican leaders of the county went to Indianapolis. 9. W. Cantwell, an ex-member of the Republican State central coipmittee and district chairman of the old Eleventh District, was among the number. Mr. Cantwell favors Mr. Beveridge in the senatorial race. Postmaster E. D. Moffett is also on the ground. He did not express hinjseif, but is believed to be a supporter of Hasnly. A. D. Schaeffer, manager of the big paj*er mill in this city,

Is uncompromisingly for Taylor. Ex-Mayor Zeigler, of Montpelier, the leader of the Republican forces in the oil field, was also a passenger for the capital city. Mr. Zeigler was noncommittal, but it is thought he will be with the congressional combine for Hanly. From a reliable source it has leaked out that a. deal is on between Taylor arid Steele that, after several ballots, whichever shows the least strength shall withdraw in favor of the other. The held to combine against the Marion county candidate, and that the real tight will dwindle down between Ilanly and Steele. More Soldiers for Steele. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ■MARION, Ind., Jan. 3.—The following resolutions were passed by Tom Bennett Post at the Soldiers’ Home meeting to-night: “Whereas, Hon. George W. Steele is candidate for United States senator, we, as a pest, recognizing his devotion to the best interests of the people, his untiring efforts in behalf of his comrades by way of assisting them in securing in every way relief provided by a generous government, and the able, efficient manner in which he has served the people as member of Congress, we believe he merits promotion; therefore “Resolved, That we heartily indorse his candidacy and earnestly desire his election to the high position, and believe in so doing that we subserve the best interests not only of our late comrade in arms, but of people of the entire State and Nation.’’ The resolution was signed by Joel Satterthwaite, commander, and Charles Cunningham, adjutant.

Charles Snyder, Chicago stock, had his tools spread out before the big safe in the office of the Santa Clara Wine Company, at No. 143 North Illinois street, last night, and was about ready to begin preparations to blow it, when Bicycle Patrolmen Streit and Lancaster slipped in on him and spoiled the job. Night Watchman Elliott, in making his rounds, went into a passageway in the rear of the wine company’s store at 11:30 o’clock and tried the cellar door. It came open at his pull, and he carefully closed it. He then called the police. The bicycle patrolmen silently opened the cellar door and passed down the stairs. The cellar was entirely dark, and as they walked to the front they turned on the electric lamps which hung from the ceiling. When they reached tho front they saw a slender youth sitting comfortably on a wine barrel, watching them. Streit drew his revolver, and, pointing it at tho young man, said: “Throw up your hands and don't make a move, or I’ll shoot.” The slender young man’s hands Hashed up, and he answered coolly, “Do you think I’m a d—n fool?” The policemen looked down at him a minute in astonishment and then they asked him what he was doing there. “Well, boys, to tell the truth,” replied the young man, “I’m here to steal.” The patrolmen took him up stairs into the storeroom and begun to look around after traces of the young man’s visit. At last, apparently, he grew weary of seeing them search. “Boys,” he said, “I came here to blow this safe and here are my tools.” He led the policemen to the safe and showed them on the lloor his kit, laid out ready for use. “Haven’t you got a partner?” they next asked him. “No,” he replied, affably, “I came down here from Chicago three days ago to do a job like tiffs. 1 looked around for a pal, but I couldn’t find one to suit me. When 1 came here 1 went to that mission on West Maryland street, and I have been staying there. I was walking about town to-day and noticed this place. It looked good. I went in the store and then I went around behind and saw the passageway and the cellar doors. I laid out my plans and last night 1 got these tools in a wagon shop, 1 don’t know now where it was. I never tried a safe job before.” The patrolmen gathered up the tools and took Snyder to the police station. He was slated on the charge of burglary. He said he was a teamster when in Chicago, and that he was eighteen years old. He looked to be twenty-five. The two patrolmen think Snyder would have waited in the cellar until about 2 o'clock in the morning and then, have begun on the safe. His kit of tools included a chisel a heavy hammer, a brace and bit and saw. These tools he may havo taken from a wagon shop, but a half pound of powder, a drill for boring into steel, a peculiarly shaped brass funnel for pouring powder into a crack and a slender, curved instrument for packing powder into a safe lock, were obtained at no wagon shop. The Carrolls Again. Thomas Carroll, arrested last night by Patrolmen Jordan, Cronin and Johnson on a warrant charging him with stealing iron castings from Oliver Russell and Thomas Williams, brought to recollection the killing of his brother, Edward Carroll, by John Griffin, his stepbrother, on Fayette street, a year ago. Carroll and one of his brothers said last night that Griffin and his pals had conspired to get him into trouble with the police. A gang, Carroll claimed, of Griffin’s friends was arrested some time ago on the charge of stealing iron castings, and was discharged in Police Court. Being "sore” at Carroll, they threw suspicion on him, which led to his arrest, he said. Griffin was not prosecuted for killing Carroll, the grand jury failing to indict him. The Carroll family has several times been dealt with by the police, and the “conspiracy” story is not swallowed entirely. “I was crooked once,” said one of the Carrolls last night, “but I'm straight now% and this boy (meaning Thomas) never did a trick in his life. He'll be discharged in Police Court.” Brighton Ileaeh Kauled. Sergeant Corrigan and a squad of patrolmen raided Brighton Beach early yesterday morning and took four young women and four young men to the police station. In Police Court all pleaded guilty. Three of the women were lined $5 and costs on the charge of being immoral, and one, who said she lived on Bellefontalne street, was released. The cases against the young me were dismissed because they said they were skating on the canal and had gone to the “beach” merely to get warm. When the police entered the whole crowd were dancing and drinking. The men were C. W. Matlock, James Montague, Ivy Wright and William Henry. The three women who were fined proved to be inmates of a resort. Judge Cox said he was afraid the resort would be a great deal of evil to young people who skated near it. Jarrell a Miserable Degenerate. Harry Jarrell, a twenty-three-year-oid degenerate, was arrested last night by Bicycle Patrolmen Schroeder and Hauser and slated as insane. Jarrell has been in the Insane Hospital. Twice recently commissions have investigated his case, but witnesses were found both times who testified that was not insane. During the late years of Jarrell’s miserable life he has tried many times to kill himself. Monday night his mother found him ready to slash his throat with a razor. She grasped his arm. and he only succeeded in cutting a slight gash in his throat. He has been taken again and again to the police station wildly drunk, screaming and fighting the policemen who held him. His home is at No. 725 South Capitol avenue. Hotel Clerk Cnrncy Dead. Charles Carney, formerly well known in this city through his connection with the Grar.d, Bates and Denison hotels, died In Cleveland of Bright’s disease yesterday. For several years past he has been connected with the Weddell and Hollenden hotels, in Cleveland. The funeral will take place at 2 o’clock to-day from Flanner & Buchanan’s undertaking rooms, on North Illinois street, the burial being in Crown Hiii Cemetery.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CAMP CONRAD, Columbus, Ga., Jan. 2.—A1l is excitement here in the One-hun-dred-and-sixtieth Indiana. It looks like u suro go this time. Charleston, 325 miles distant, is the place of embarkation, and the One-hundred-and-sixtieth is assigned to the Saratoga, which can take only one battalion. The first battalion, under Major Blackman, will go first, with a full equipment of horses, mules and wagons. There is no intimation as to what officers will go except Major Blackman. All are anxious to be first. Lieutenant Colonel Kiger Is in command of tho regiment and is untiring in his efforts to have things in the best possible condition. Colonel Gunder, who has been on the sick list for three or four days, is brigade commander, and is a \ory busy man. The sick in the hospitals are improving wonderfully under the prevailing excitement, and only a few of the worst cases are content to remain in bed. One with a sprained knee said; “All 1 ask is to know four hours befox*e camp is broken and I will join the procession.” That is the spirit of tho regiment. The quarters have been profusely decorated with evergreens, trees, arches and artistic designs appearing everywhere, with “A happy New Year” and “Welcome” conspicuously displayed in large letters. Capt. Bender and Lieutenant Dunn, of Company M, Logansport, returned, to camp lasi night. Officers and men absent on furlough from their commands are hurrying back. Adjutant Marks, of Bluffton, is expected to-day. The boys have experienced freezing cold, with high winds, for two days. The sun shone brightly yesterday, but did not materially raise the temperature. The afternoon dress parade is always attractive to the people here, but as it was supposed yesterday wouid be the last opportunity on Sunday to see the three regiments on the parade ground there was a much larger attendance than usual. The event to-day is a football game between the Third Kentucky and the First West Virginia, w hile the One-hundred-and-sixtieth stands ready to challenge the winning team to play here or in Cuba, as the case may be. Military discipline is being tightened to keep everybody inside the lines. The First West Virginia is retained here for the present, probably for muster out. W. J. V. Col. Gunder AYill Start To-Day.

Yesterday he made a murderous assault on Guard Stallsmith, and as it w'as evident he could no longer be trusted the warden ordered him placed in the iron cage which was built expressly to restrain him and which he occupied for many months. Marlatt is declared by experts to be a moral pervert, aad In his spells which break out at long intervals he can only be controlled by extreme measures. Jealousy Causes Double Tragedy. MINIER, 111..

Ohio’s Attorney General Files Suit Against the Hlseult Company. COLUMBUS, 0., Jan. 3.—Attorney General Monnett to-day filed in the Ohio Supreme Court a petition to oust the National Biscuit Company from doing business as a trust in this State. The petition has been in readiness for several days awaiting a favorable opportunity for filing. The suit is irx line with the attorney general's policy of fighting trusts in Ohio-. The petition filed relates that complaint that has been made to him by wholesale grocers regarding the methods of the trust, which he holds is contrary to the anti-trust law passed by tha Slate Legislature, it is claimed that other manufacturers aro kept out so that tha grocers are forced to pay the exorbitant quotations demanded. As an illustration, it is said that the price charged for crackers is equal to that of a bushel of wheat. Tho attorney general claims that the biscuit company is capitalized for $55,000,000, but only has $5,000,000 in the business. Pottery Trust Restrained. CINCINNATI, 0., Jan. 3.-Judge Smith, of the Common Pieas Court, to-day, upon application of tho Bell Pottery Company, of Findlay, 0., allowed a temporary restraining order against eighteen pottery companies in the State to prevent them from organizing a trust contrary to the statutes, which prohibits such action.

PITTSBURG, Jan. 3.—Tho coming national convention of the United Mine Workers of America, which will be held in thin city next week, is exciting great interest, the election of the successor to President Ratehford being tho principal question at issue. Charges of using the order for political purposes have been published against some of the leaders, and from present appearances it would seem that there will bo a battle between tho rank and file of tho miners and the politicians. Mr. Ratehford, It is said, favors John Mitchell for his successor, and the miners of the Pittsburg district, whoso wishes will carry much weight because of their Influence in the interstate convention, want their favorite, Patrick Dolan, to occupy the position of national president. District President Patrick Dolan was asked to express an opinion. He was averse* to saying anything on the subject, but when, pressed remarked: “I will do as I haver done in the past—abide by the will of tho miners whom I have the honor to represent. If the miners of the Pittsburg district or any other district want me to represent them in any office I am perfectly willing, but they have the say. But I can ossura you that I will not resort to any wire pulling or intimidation to gain a point. I know* that Ratehford, tho administration of the national organization and some of the big politicians are against me. It must be remembered that it is the miners and not the makers of slates that elect the officers in the organization.” Arrangiug for u. ‘•Scrap’’ Here. A number of Indianapolis people “who don’t care to have their names known” ar* arranging to have Eugene Bezenah, of Covington, Ky., and Jimmy Murray, of Cincinnati, fight to a decision in this city about the nuudie of this month.
