A Drunken Tramp of Unique Temper ament. A drunken tramp too stupid to give his name slept in an Isolated cell In the police station last night In a condition shocking to every ono.but the calloused turnkey. He was brought In early in the day for Insult ing womenvon South . Meridian street and demanding money from all passers-by. He had but one leg. but this did not prevent him from wanting to fight anyone who resented his demands for money. He hobbled on a crutch and a cane, the latter having a wide crook in the end, which he would catch around the necks of unwilling contributors and Jerk them toward him. Bicycle Patrolmen Strelt and Griffin went after him. and after a hard fight finally lanaea mm in an express wagon and sat on him until they reached the police sta tion, where he was thrown into a cell. Here he speedily set fire to the bedding, and was promptly removed to the insane department down stairs, where he tore off nil his clothes and threw himself naked on the floor. Then he fell Into a drunken stupor, which con tinued an night. A VALUABLE 2:11 HORSE. Frank Roberts Had Driven. Him Here from Pennsylvania.

He was stolen Aug. 6 and Roberts evidently drove him ovenana to this city, as when he was ar rested, Aug. 1. the horse's feet and limbs were badly swollen. Captain Colbert cap tured Roberts single-handed. He saw the man on East street trying to disnose of the horse for sm. The man divine 1 his purpose of arresting him and started to run.

A dozen of the older settlers of Marlon county met yesterday afternoon in the Circuit Court rooms for the purpose of formulating plans whereby the Park Board might be induced to purchase the triangular tract along White river between the old covered bridge and the Washington-street bridge. The object la to make a public park of it. and the promoters of the scheme are desirous of reproducing thereon "In the same old way" the log cabin erected by John McCorrnJek. who is said to have been the first settler of Indianapolis, and who "squatted" on this particular tract. Among those present were John L. McCormlck and Judd 1. McCormlck, nephews of the pioneer. Jacob Whitesell. George W. Pitts, Henry Cox. Calvin Darnell. Peter M. Wright, Elisha KIse and Capt. Alonzo D. Harvey. Hugh O. McVey, representing his mother, Lydia A. Rich, a daughter of Thomas O'Nell, said to be the oldest living of the original settlers, was also present. Nothing was done aside from a general discussion of the matter, and adjournment was taken until Sept. 14. Assessing the Policemen. Following the usual custom, the city committees of both parties are levying assessments against policemen for campaign purposes. The collection of the sinews of wa among the Democratic employes yesterday occasioned the greatest stir from the fact that several of the patrolmen objected to paying the $35 asked for by the committee. There was little effort made to keep the matter quiet except that the Democratic policemen were asked to pay their money over in Room 3 of the Mozart Hall building. During the day this fact was kept as secret as possible, but toward evening there was nothing but a half-hearted Joking denial made that any assessment had been levied at all. Irvlnnrton Postoftlce Supplies. An order was yesterday received at the postofflce from Washington to return the supplies which had been shipped for the substation at Jrvlngton. A complete outfit of supplies had been received, and the action taken at Washington would seem to indicate that the department has abandoned the idea of establishing the substation. ffoctaler Tnrnvrreln.

THE QUICKS RELEASED

YOl.G WIDOW AMI nilOTIIKR-lX-LAW WERE ACCl'SED OF MURDER. Indiana Glass Manufacturer Attain Attempt to Pool Business Strike in the Quarries. Facial to the Indianapolis Journal. PERU. Ind.. Sept. l.-Mrs. Edith Quick. aged seventeen, and Henry Quick, her brother-in-law, aged eighteen, were dis charged to-day by Justice James B. Fulwiier, before whom they were arraigned for a preliminary hearing on the charge of murdering William Quick, husband of the woman. The court's decision was a great surprise and Is the general topic of conversation. Justice Fulwller 13 about eighty-six years old, and attorneys say he has always been known to favor women in his court. As has been told several times in the Jour nal. William Quick died three weeks ago in terrible agony from what proved by post mortem examination and by analysis by Dr. Hurty, of Indianapolis, to have been a large quantity of arsenic in his stomach. No one knows exactly how the poison was administered, but the coroner and the prosecution have shown that Mrs. Quick, the bride of less than a month, and Henry Quick, were the only persons present during the Illness and up to an hour of the death. Testimony also shows that the dead man was jealous, not without cause, of his brother, and wanted him to leave the house. Neighbors testified to seeing Mrs. Quick and Henry embracing each other, and that Mrs. Quick had said- she could be happy with Henry, but tho moment her husband stepped in her happiness was all gone. It was also shown that she had told different people she "would be a widow before she was eighteen and have a good time again." There was also other testimony Introduced and much that was held In reserve. The defense offered testimony and asked a dismissal on the ground of Insufficiency of the evidence. Justice Fulwller said at first he would take about a week to consider the case, but he then changed his mind and announced 'a dismissal. He would have held the prisoners had they been able to give ball, he announced. The grand jury will take up the case when it meets, in two weeks. STOXG PLANERS STRIKE.

Woman Reaches Kokomo and Reveals an Interesting; Story. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ' KOKOMO, Ind., Sept. 1. A strange woman, giving her name as Mrs. Rebecca Dunning, of St. Marys, O., arrived here this week, claiming to be the daughter of Thomas Chapman and the half sister of three children residing In Union township, this county. The elder Chapman died ' twenty years ago, leaving a large estate. Mrs. Dunning to-day employed attorneys to prosecute her claim and to establish her relationship. She says she ha9 been trying for years to discover who she Is, having been deserted in infancy and put in the hands of strangers. According to her story Thomas Chapman had a wife which the family here never heard of. lie came here !n 1849 from Flatrock, Rush county, and had previously lived near Madison. It was at that place, Mrs. Dunning says, her mother, the first Mrs. Chapman,' died, the child at that time being two years old.

When the abandoned child, Rebecca Chapman, became a woman she married Mr. Dunning and went to St. Marys. O., to live. The woman, accompanied by Attorney J. C. Herron, of thl city, went to Madison to collect evidence establishing her relationship. The Chapmans here think her story a myth and denounce her as an impostor and have employed attorneys to protect their Interests.

In Indianapolis, this afternoon. . . Mrs. Hendricks, despite-her years, is ac tive and cheerful, and she conversed with a Post reporter In a very pleasant way about old times In the national capital. In her distinguished husband s lifetime she always accompanied mm to Washington, and was with him here during his service as repre sentative, as commissioner of the Land Office, under Presidents Pierce and Buchanan; as United States senator, and finally as Vice President. "I should like to come to Washington to live, said she: "it is such a beautiful city. but I am greatly attached to my home in Indiana. Perhaps (laughing) I mtiy yet conclude to come if we ever get another Demo cratic administration. It makes me very sad to think that nearly all the public men who were contemporaries of Mr. Hendricks. and many of them his warm friends, have passed away. I often meet people who are strangers to me who come, up and greet me on account of their respect for Mr. Hen dricks, and it is a solace to know that his fame. Instead of growing dim. keeps green in tne nearts or. nis countrymen. The Kaiser's Popularity. Washington Post. Prof. Hugo Munsterberg, a genial Teuton theorist, has been interviewing himself In an effort to prove that the Germans under an autocratic kaiser are really freer than Americans. One of the statements he makes is to the effect that if Germany were to become a republic Kaiser Wllhelm would be unanimously elected president. In this connection a Washington traveler who has only recently returned from Germany re lates an incident illustrating the popularity of the imperial family. lie was waiting at a railway station, when suddenly the at tendants rushed in and locked all the doors. confining the prospective passengers to the waiting rooms. After a fast train had whizzed by the doors were unlocked. Inqulry developed the fact that the train bore the imperial princes and these precautions were taken to keep anybody from throwing a bomb. Furthermore, according to the Volkszeitung of Berlin, the month of July saw In Germany sixteen prosecutions for lese majesty, or speaking disrespectfully of the Emperor. Three of the accused persons were acquitted, and the sentences Im posed on the other thirteen aggregated about six years and three months. Any body can can our I'resiaent names, out in Germany the Jail yawns for the man who makes mock of Kaiser Wllhelm. May be that is the reason Professor Munsterberg speaks so respecuuuy oi mm.

Methodists Discuss the Leading Candidate for Election Next May. Chicago Inter Ocean. Notwithstanding the hot weather, and in spite of the fact that the Methodist General Conference does not meet until next May, the Methodist preachers are 'now entertaining themselves with the approaching election of bishops. The gossip on this pubject is generallly to be heard at the Methodist book store, Wabash avenue and Monrot street, every Monday evening, when the preachers assemble there for their r.eckly sociable. One of the men who is credited In thee speculations wltn having a sure thing is the Rev. Dr. Berry, editor of the Enworth Heraid. the organ of the Epworth League, who Is so popular with the Juvenile Methodists that it is thought the General Conference will hardly dare to Ignore his claims. In the meanwhile Dr. Berry says he has a better thing now than the bishopric, and docs not want the office. But he does not get credit for entire sincerity in refusing the episcopal crown, and an amusing story Is told on one of the present bishops In Illustration of th reliance that can be placed on such refusals The bishop referred to may be called, for the purposes of this story. Bishop Smith. One day. a month or two before Bishop Smith's election, when he was plain Dr. Smith, a committee waited on him and the chairman said to him: "Doctor, we have made all the arrangements to elect you bishop, and all that remains Is toget your consent." Then Dr. Smith looked down ami frowned, and said: "Now brethren, you know I do not want to be a bishop. 1 like my present work far better. It would not be at all to my taste, and I real.y hav. no inward call to that field. No brethren. I do not seek this office at all. and 1 cannot taThIslrefusal dumfounded the committee. It would not have been surprised at a little dignified Indifference, but Dr. Smith spoke so olalnly and positively that the committee was miffed and supposed he was Consequently the chairman said: Well. Doctor, we are greatly disappointed. We have made perfect arrangements to elect you but If you positively will not have It. of course we will call It off. We are mighty sorry, though; good morning."
