THURSDAY, AUGUST 30. 1977. JOHN nT HOLLIDAY, Pbopmitoi. The Dell; Neva haa the iargeat circalation of any paper in Indiana, and ia read In nearly ayery town and village tributary to Indianapolis. Thi Iowa democrats want to try Tilden again in 1S3Q. Eiyca Senator Morton’s convalescence ihe era of gush is beginning again. Brigham Yocko’s death marks the high tide of Mormonism. It wili ebb hereafter.

Tin low a democrats congratulate the country on the success of President Hayes’s touthern policy. Wit publish some interviews with manufacturers to-day, and the universal expression is that business is improving with them.

Thi London Times is of opinion that England must take very much larger quantities of grain from this country than for years previous, and must pay a much higher price for it.

Whkx the story of this famine in India is told, if it ever is, it will be the most ghastly history ever recorded. A half million of people have already d ed and in’some sections cannibalism is beginning^ Tu* men on the Baltimore & Ohio road struck, a few weeks ago, because they did not have enough to do. ' Now they threaten to strike because they have too much to do.

more time, make longer reports, and ; get more pay. And when all is done, the choice new plan is just as likely as not to need amendments which could have been applied to the choice old one, and all the time and money saved. It is a moderate statement to say that three months will be needed to fix a choice, after the ninety days are out. Thai will take us until next spring, and cost for experts and other expenses several thousands of dollars. But the big trouble will be the struggles, intrigues, contentions and worse, with their inevitable delays, that the friends of the rival architects will carry on and combine to beat any promising plan but their own. There is just as strong a chance of a second competition failing by chicane and contrivance as there was of the first failing by inadequate work. A third competition stands about as squarely ahead of the one to come as this stood ahead of the one just gone. And experts cost $1,000 for tne first ten days of service, schedule rates. We shall do well if there is a lick of work done on the new state house within a year.

Sixes the Sunday attendance at the Philadelphia exposition has amounted to 10,000 the managers are convinced of the high moral influences of a Sunday display. If the attendance had been below paying point, it is probable they would have condemned “the continental “Sunday” style. There is a difference between tweedle-dum and tweedle-dee when it comes to gate receipts.

Tns Busaians hold the fort in Schipka pass. This is a victory for them. Bchipka is the one pass necessary for a successful invasion of Turkey, and the Russian lodgment there |is worth thousands of men and millions of money to them if they expect to renew the { campaign next year. When all is known concerning that fight, it will, probably rank as one of the stubbornest and most deadly of modern times. Thk Chicago Times, in an article printed elsewhere, holds that the price of wheat will not fall and is likely to rise. It bases this on the foreign demand. But it must be remembered that we will have an extraordinary surplus, even if the -foreign demand is doubled. Besides this, the yield of potatoes and other kinds of food has been so abundant that it will affect the home consumption very considerably. While it is true that the price is regulated by the foreign demand, the supply must inevitably affect that, and with the abundant facilities for exporting, it is at least an even chance if the price does not fall.

Thi Grand Duke Nicholas is concentrating the Russian force on Plevna for another attack, but the inroads of sickness have been so great that in spite pf the reinforcements it is doubtful that if an attack will be made this year. At the south the Russians hold their own. Suleiman Pasha is credited with the announcement that the attempt to recover Schipka pass is hopeless. Meantime the porte is concentrating an army on the Servian frontier to be within striking distance if Milam declares war. Prince Charles of Roumania will soon cross the .river to join his army against the Turks. But with this help it is doubtful if there will be any further active campaigning this year. Russia is already beginning to count the cost. Another years’ war is estimated to cost 850.000. 000 roubles. The coat thus far has been over 122,00<J,000. There are already 877,000,000 roubles in circulation, and next year’s war means an issue of 450.000. 000 more. Thi state bouse board has rejected all the plans passed to it from preceding examinations. Yet it appears to have been generally conceded that two of them, Eppinghauaen’s and Myers’s, could have been readily adapted to all the state’s needs. New plans are to be received for ninety days from the date of advertisement, or about one hundred da?s from 4o-day. This puts off all possible action till about Christmas, or the beginning of 1878. Plans will be examined as they are received, no doubt, but many will necessarily remam to be scrutinized by experts, compared with each other, and tested for valuable changes, after the time for receiving has passed. This will be likely to take three months more, for forty new plans are ready now, and in three months there will be a hundred. Out of the collection of choice plans made from this array—we may fairly suppose it wiU number fifteen or twenty—one must be selected, and that will be a slower job (Mn the late one, for it will be four or fire times as big. The experts will have to take

Obituary. BRIGHAM TOrXG, THE MOBVOX LEADER Brigbam Young, the first president of the Mormon church, and for tbirty-thrse years ita moving apirit, died at Salt Lake yesterday. He was born at Whittingham, Vermont, June 4, 1801, and at the age of thirty-one joined the Mormons at Kirtland, Ohio, and began his ministry. He was a painter by trade and a member of the Baptist church. In 1835 he made a proselyting tour to the eastern states, and his great success gave him a prominent position in the chnrch. On the death of Joseph Smith in 1844,'he was unanimously chosen to fill bis vacant place and baa since been the absolute ruler of his sect Two years after his accession to the presidency he set out for the west in obedience, as he claimed, to commands revealed to him from heaven, to found a new city which ebon Id become the New Jerusalem. Salt Lake City was founded in Jnly, 1847, and soon after the state of Deseret was organized and applied for admission into the union. This was refused by congress, and the territory of Utah was foimed, and Young was appointed governor for four years. His successor was not a Mormon, and during the next three years Young and bis followers openly and persistently defied the power of the United States and disregarded the laws. Finally in 1852 a force of soldiers was sent to enforce the laws, a trace was agreed to and the Mormons submitted to the civil power. On the 29lh of August, 1852, Brigham Young proclaimed the “celestial law of mirriagn,” or polygamy, which has now be come the best known tenet of the chnrch. This created a schism and Joseph Smith’s widow and her four sons withdrew and denounced Young. The new doctrine became popular with the chnrch and in a short time no opposition was made to it Young was also the head of the order of Daintes, a secret orgonization pledged to oVey the order of the chief in everything without question. A part of the bloody record of this order has recently come to light in the investigation of the massacre at Mountain Meadows. Young’s responsibility for this massacre is donbttd by few, and it is probable that had he lived a few years longer he would have been made to suffer lor it. Brigbam Young had about a score of wives, beside a large number spiritnally “sealed” to him, and a large family of children. His eldest son was named as bis successor by a revelation, and will probably become the head of the church. A strong anti-polygamic element has recently been developed in the church, however, which looks to a son of Joseph Smith as the the legitimate successor to the title of prophet and the leadership of the church. The son of Brigbam, though said to be a man of considerable force, will not have the hold on his people that his father possessed, and a fatal schism is among the immediate probabilities. Whatever may 1)6 thought of Brigham Young’s other qualities, it ia certain that the power to lead and govern must be accorded to him in a remarkable degree. He bad the prime qualities bf leadership, if not of statesmanship, and his decease deprives the Mormon church of its strongest if not its essential pillar. Tbe Fire Ages of an Englishman* [London Letter Chicago Times.] The average Briton of the sterner sex, and between certain ages, is the perfection of physical beauty in many respects. Between 18 and 30, one finds a class of men who have few equals and no superiors. They are a little above the medium bight, square as to shoulder, broad and deep as to chest, with mighty thighs, and swelling muscle as to arm and leg, witnessing no end of devotion to rowing, cricket, bicycling and other muscle and health-giving exercises. It is as good as looking at a fine picture to see one of these fellows walk. He has along, swinging stride; his swelling muscles, the poise of bis trunk, bid advanced cheat, and the ease of his movement ail combine to suggest power—a power ample for the work in hand, with a farther suggestion ae to a reserve available for any imaginable purpose. His cheeks are ruddy, his eye bright, bis lips red, his gleaming teeth faultless. He ails a horse as if a part of him, rising with an easy, graceful motion as the animal trots, or as immovable as a rock when dying along at a. swift gallop. In fine, the British youth is the perfection of physical manhood, as handsome as Apollo, ae strong as Samson, as swift as an antelope, and as enduring as iron. Prior to this age, he is a callow, shamefaced yontb, with enormous feet, ill-fit-ting jackets, and a plug hat After passing thirty, he grows beefy and stout At forty be is pauncby, with anoeethatis growing balboas. At fifty he is shortwinded ; be measures forty five around his chest, and ninety-five around his waist; his nose is pitted and blooming as a strawberry ; tha top of his head is as white, as gleaming as a billiard ball, and he suffers 'from twinges in bis b ; g toe, coming from unlimited indulgence in port sherry, champsgne, bitter beer, Baes’ ale. Gainness, bock, claret, and brandy and water —all of which he decants into himself at, or about • grand, daily cramming performance, which he calls his dinner. Mlis Pauline Markham arrived in New York last weak, from Europe, to join the Adah Richmond burlesque company.

THE Pit ICE OF WHEAT. An Argument to Prove that it Will Keep tip. (Chicago Times.1 The average price paid last year in England for American wheat was $IA5; the average this year has been $167, with no prospect of a decline. The average price of American fionr in the same market in 1876 was $4 60. The average this year is $6 90. The higher prices were established, of course, before knowledge reached England of tha enormous surplus that an abundant harvest year in this country would throw upon its msrket, but in the face of anthoritative information ou this point there was no decline. For a time ths markets of England were almost panic-stricken at the prospect, speedily dispelled, that the strikes in this country would pre vent the crop reaching the seaboard for shipment Deprived of the American surplus of wheat the English market would at this time have grave cause to fear the worst. In all cereal and root crops America has been abundantly bleeted, but she is alone in her good fortune. There is a famine in Ind a. In England the area of wheat sown this year was smaller than at any previous time in recent history, and the crop from this diminished source is poor. In continental Europe, with the exception' of Knesia, the wheat crop it far below the average yield. In Russia the crop is not materially diminished, but the home demand is larger and the cost of export is largely increased, owi -g to the closing of the Black sea route. It is to the American surplus, then.that the English market, which takes and distributes the world's surplus, must look this year, audit is becarse other than American sources of supply are largely cut off this season that high prices for wheat and its product, flour, will be maintained in the face of the vast American yield. Prices can not be lower. Tney are likely to be ranch greater, and fortunate ia the wheat producer whose affairs are in such condition as to warrant his bolding his harvest from the market until next spring. It is seldom that there are two or more successive years of heavy harvest. America is not likely to have such a vast yield next year as she has enjoyed during the current season. Europesn crops may be increased, but Russia, still at war, as is the present prospect,will not be able to give nextyearthe attantion to agriculture she has given this year. Many of her farmers will be dragged from the nlow tail to fight the Tnrk and she herself will make a greater demand on her own diminished resources. Obtaining high prices for a large crop, the American farmer will feel the first flush of the good times for which all America has been sighing this many years, and, as has been demonstrated time and again, in the prosperity of the agricultural class all kinds and conditions of men share. Purse-strings will be opened to receive and disburse, and in handling money as good as the wheat, financial tbeoriets will rest from the advocacy of wild schemes for governmental panaceas. Good times appear to be knocking for entrance at American doors.

Ciood for tbie Latitude, (Detroit News.l Cometh forth from his masterly inactivity the workingman’s friend. Graspeth he in his all-embracing mind the whole difficulty of the hard times, as in a nutshell. And as a result of his coming forth, the workingman’s convention is abrosd in the land. The workingman’s friend is in the midst thereof. He is there to point ont at once the canse and the remedy of the workingman’s woes. To bring food to a million of empty stomachs, to create a demand for labor which shall increase wages, to set the idle factories buzzing with activity, to fill onr rottii g bulls with cargoes at big tariffs, and set them cleaving, the waves In all directions—these may be consummations which the ordinary man desires as earnestly as the workingman’s friend, but whose attainment he confesses puzzles him sorely, or are unattainable except by a process of slow and natnral growth. But the w. f. has no such miegivingr. To him it is as simple as A BC; aye, often more so, as bis letters to the press will show. The cause, says the w. f , is the fact that the workingman has not voted for his friend, his friend with a big F. Instead of doing that the workingman has too often been voting with regard to the eternal fitness of things and of the candidate. He has put into office people calculated to do the work of the office, and left in elegint retiracy hia Friend who ahooteth off his mouth for the workingman. But all this is now to be changed. Conventions are held, and tickets are made, and the workingman's friend is numerous thereon. No man who can earn his living in any other way shall have an office. All shall go to the workingman’s friend. The w. f. does not indicate his modus operand!, but it should suffice that he is the w. f. What he has done for the workingmen except to illustrate in his own parson how one can live without work, is not apparent He is like the lily, except in the matter of color and familiarity with water. He seweth not; neither spinnethfie, but he ahooteth off his mouth with great vigor, and & Solomon would not have been a patch npon him. There are some who think he is a fraud.

Tbe Iowa Democrats** The Iowa democratic convention yesterday loudly cheered a remark of a speaker that Tilden must be vindicated by a nomination in 1880. Irish was nominated for governor, W. C. James lieutenant governor, H. E. J. Boardmansupreme judge, C. D. Cullison .superintendent* of public instruction. The platform declares for a tariff for revenue only; honest, economic home role; the supremacy of the civil over the military power; sepsratioa of chnrch and state; equality of all citizens before the law; opposition to the granting, by the general government, of subsidies to any corporation whatever; Che immediate repeal of the specie resumption act ; the passage of a law which shall restore to silver its monetary power. In favor of the substitution of greenbacks for national bank bills. The payment of the public debt of the United States as rapidly as practicable. Eqn&l taxation of every species of property acccrding to its value. One currency for the government and people. The right of a state to regulate railroad corporations must be exercised with due regard to juatice. The rigbta of capital and labor are eqnally sacred and alike entitled to legal protection. Favora tie repeal of the preeent prohibitory liquor law and tbe enactment of a judicious and well regulated license law instead. A plank was aleo inserted congratnlating the country npon the acceptance by tie present administration of the constitutional and pacific policy of local selfgovernment in the states south, ao long advccated by the democratic party, and which has bronght peace and harmony to that section.

Sleep.

Beautiful up front the deeps of the solemn aaa, Cometh sweet sleep to me; IJiifrom the silent deeps, jy here no one waits and weeps: Cemetb, as one who dreameih, . w hb slowly warina hands-. And the sound of the raiment seemeth Like waves on the level sands, Ther© if rc-t for all mankind# As her slow win«s stir the wind. \\ ith lullaby the drowsy waters creep To kiss the feet of Sleep. —IBInckwood’s Magazine. Love a.nd Ambition. Love, laughing to ambition said; •‘Resign thy iron crown to me.'’ The mighty cenquerer shook hia head: “My bride is immortality.” With that the urchin drew his bow And smiling, fixed his keenest dart; Eo true the aim. so sure the blew, It struck the tyrant to the heart. Tbe laurel wreath is all unbound. The banner in the dust is furled, Tbe trumpet spreads bo terrors round; What now to him is all the world?

Time.

O, Time is like a river gliding Away—away! And in its glootnv billows hiding Joys bright as day; And with its restless current wearing Man’s heart to clay; And lite’s best hopes, like base reeds-bearing. Away—away! And life is like a dewdrop smiling For one short hour! With fair and glittering show beguiling— Yet sun and shower O’er its trail essence, ea h prevailin';, Shortening its stay— Tremulous, restless and exhaling Away—away!

A beautiful marble has been found in California on the line of the newly built Southern Pacific railroad. It ia of a snowy color and exquisitely threaded with amber colored veins, Italian experts have prononneed it equal to the finest marbles known. Madame Marie Rose, whom Strakosch has engaged for this country, has distingniihed herself in the Titiens repertory, tbe heaviest and most tragic on the stsge. She is an admirable ainger in oratorio and and ballads, and has appeared in Italian, French and English opera. Desiring not to execute the judgment against the parties defendant in her late suit, Mrs Myra Clark Gaines has made a proposal lor the compromise of her claim directly to the New Orleans city government She offers tbe same terms as in 1868, when she presented a similar proposal, offering a release for $2,530,391. The Blisses of Philadelphia, who have won quite a reputation as materializing mediums, have been completely exposed. Their “apirils” were invoked from an apartment in the cellar of their house. During their absence, recently, a Times reporter gained access to this apartment and there found dresses, wigs, etc , worn by “spirits,” and immediately recognized by him. Tha washing of clothes amuses me. As i drive or walk by these huts I will often see a woman batting with a wooden paddle some article of clothing which lies on a huge stone; below is a muddy stream that often makes at one end the swine puddle; she beats the clothes, and then runs them to and fro in the dirty water, wrings them ont, and then bangs them op on the bushes to dry.—[Letter from Brittany. Tbe ordinary positions of invaders and invaded are in this war reversed. The Russians are among friends who receive them everywhere with open arms, who bring them correct information, who tell them exactly where the Turks are. their numbers, where they go and whence they come, who do all the work of spies as well as tbe service of ontpoets, while the Tnrks, who should be among friends, are among enemiee as much as tbe Prussians wers in France, and thns, while playing the part of the invaded, have to fight at all the disadvantages of invaders.— [King’s Letter in Boston Journal. English paper: “A person was recently sent to a bank for the purpose of drawing money. Two men stood near the place where be was counting over the amount he had received, some £600. One of the men remarked to him, ‘Yon’ve dropped a five pound note,’ pointing to a paper on the floor. ‘All right, air,’ was the reply; ‘I’ll just put my foot on it for the present,’ which be did and continned counting bis money. It was not till the sharpers learned that they were trying their game on a smart fellow that they inform ed him that tbe five pound note was dr jppfd by one of them. Any thoughtless person would have stooped for the note, and In all probability have lost the best part of the £600.

The Famine in India. The editor of the Madras Times, a member of the relief committee, writes nnder date of Acgnst 1st, as follows: “The population in southern India, more or less sffiicted by the famine, numbers twenty fonr millions. In the most favorable circumstances, at least one sixth will die. In Madras, one camp of 3,000 rises morning after morning, leaving thirty corpses. In tbe interior the distress is most frightful. Mothers may be seen in the streets of Madras, offering their children for sale, while tbe foundling portion of the poorhense is foil of infants found by the police on the roads, deserted by their parents. Since the famine began 5,0C0 people have died of want and distress. The first big tragedy may be expected in Mysore. In that province, indeed, information has been received from Bangalore of two cases of cannibalism al-

Cartter Denies. • Chief Justice Cartter, of the Supreme court of the District of Columbia, denies that he has expressed a determination to refuse to receive a requisition issued by Governor Hampton, of South Carolina, fer the arrest and surrender of such of the late republican officials of that state who may be in this district, npon the ground that Hampton is not governor of Sooth Carolina de jure. Judge Cartter says when he receives such requisition he will determine his course of action, and not nntil then.

Sluing Bull Acroes the Border. Government is informed by telegram from Gen. Miles of the crossing of Milk river by Sitting Bull and bis encampment between Milk and Mlssonri rivers, in the neighborhood of Little Rocky mountains* and abont fifty miles southeast of Fort Belknap. Bitting Ball’s presence again in the United States, with a large force, will cause additional action at the war department in dealing with the Indian problem. Gen. Miles’s dispatch is sixteen days old, and is thought to be not altogether trustworthy. Scientific A»i*oclfUlon. The American Association for the Advancement of Science met at Nashville yesterday, with 110 members present. Last evening President Newcomb, oi Washington, delivered an address explaining the discovery of the new satellites of Mara. P/of. Hall, of New York, gave a reminiscence of the work and growth of the association. Prof. Smith, of Louisville, spoke on meteoric stones, and Wm Bros?, of Chicago, read a paper entitled “All life conditionally immortal.”

South Carolina. Ex-Offlclala In* dieted. Tbe grand jury at Colombia yesterday four d tine bills against ex Lieut.-Gover-nor Cleaves, ex-treasurers Parker and Cardoza, ex comptrollers Dunn and Hoge, ex-Speaker Lee, clerks of the general assembly Woodruff and Jones, ax-State Senator Owens and others, on various charges of fraud in connection with nhe discharge of their official duties.

Damage to Crop* in Scotland and Wales. Rain has fallen in torrents all over the north of Scotland, almost witbont intermission, since the night before last. The harvest reports from all quarters are most desponding The floods have caused great damage in south Wales. The weather in the English midlands and elsewhere is very bad.

Cigar Tlaker’a Strike* One hundred and twenty-five cigar makers, in the employ of Newberger <ft Bro. f Cincinnati, struck yesterday, demanding tbe immediate ditebarge of female employes. The firm declined to discharge the women, and expressed a determination to remove their factory to New York if tbe men persist in their demands. Opposition Telegraph Line. Tbe New York produce exchange yesterday voted to invite the cooperations of boards of trade and chambers of commerce to bnild an opposition telegraph lice to all important points, in case tbe Western Union discontinued the facilities heretofore-given to such bodies.

CITY IVSEWS. bahe ball. An Extraordinary Display fey the Blues* In a five inning game yesterday the Blnee defeated the Hartforda by a score of 3 to 1. Rain prevented further play, but the game will be repeated to-day. Strange to say this result did not please some of the stockholders and friends of the club asmnch es a defeat would have done, and they shake the r heads mournfully in speaking of tbe tourists. To suffer overwhelming defeat at the hand of such clubs as the Kocheeters and Stars had tbe effect of rubbing the Blnee down in tfie pools until they sold on the Hertford' game in the New York rooms 5 in 30, or odds of 1 to 5. Tbe significant remark made by a director last night to the effect that “Bob Smith must have raked in a handsome pot on the game there,” is fraught with considerable import when it is known that the individnal in question went east with the boys and is on intimate term* with several of tbe players. There aty be nothing crooked in the playing hot it is certainly such as to excite suspicion in tbe minds of knowing ones who think they understand how tbe “old thing works ” It is asserted on the other band that Bob Smith only remained with the club until tbe first game with the Stars and then went to New York, but it must also be remembered that extraordinary facilities for betting are offered at the New York pool rooms. It was certainly in bad taste to take a notorious gambler along on an excursion of this description, if nothing worse. Games elsewhere yesterday resalted as follows: Bostons 6, Cindnnatis 0; Lowells 7, Lonisvilles 4; Cbicagos 3, Rochesters L The Baliro&ri at the Stock Tarda. The portion of the doable track railroad around the stock yards, which connects the stone walled sides along the stock stables, runs some way out from tbs bluff of the river bottom, instead of along its edge, as The News reporter at tint guessed from tbe stakes. This makes ita very heavy “fill,” a thousand feet long by a hundred wide at the bottom, and about twenty high, instead of a considerable cat in the face of the bluff. The change that has come over the old “bayou farm” in the last three months is amazing. It is like the drawing aside a wood ana cornfield scene in a theater, and showing in its place a great expanse of hnge buildings, crowds of busy men, hills cat down, hollows filled, and engines biasing, whistling and rambling ail around. It beats the megic lantern. 'Wliere Toll I* Dodged. Oliver avenue has not been in nse “ten years,” as a city item in yesterday, by a mischance of the types, said, but two vears. Nor does it dodge toll anywhere between the river and the Moorsevillejpike, as the gates on both the National and Cartirsburg roads are west of the pike. The dodging is done by running out tbe extension of the avenne to the bluff of Eagle creek, and turning from O'Connor’s lane to the Cartersburg road, beyond the gate. Bqt tbe east section of the avenue takes a great deal of the travel that used to pats upon the older parallel roads, though it saves no toll uniats it be followed westward as suggested. Tlie Cleveland Conclave. Eleven commanderies entered for the prize at the Knights Templar conclave at Cleveland yesterday. Ball Commandery No. 1, of Detroit, took first prize and Raper Commandery, of this city, second. Tbe winners of the first prize are almost perfect in drill and discipline, and have been victors in similar contests for years. That the Indianapolis Commandery should have achieved the second prlzs amorist such brilliant compsticors is especially creditable. Tbe prizes are an elegant banner, a libation service and a eet of conunar.dery jewels, gifts of tha Oriental Commandery, Cleveland. A New Shoot. Tbe Indianapolis banting and shooting club has an Idea. It ia something entirely new~a big thing- an astonisher. Listen: Its members propoes to have another tournament daring tbe late tall or early winter. Next time rabbits instead of pigeons,the animals to be placed in traps of a peculiar coustruction, pull a string a bumper strikes the quadruped knocking him ont of the trap and giving him a fair start. Tbe enthusiasts propose to procure the two or three thousand rabbits needed by the aid of ferrets who are remarkably, skillful in the pursuit of tbit animal.

Catholic Temperance Convention. The seventh annual convention of the Catholic total abstinence union met at Buffalo yesterday. Tbe union consists of 26 subordinate unions, comprising 673 societies and 100 000 members.

Ben. Forrest Dangerously III. General N. B Forrest, the famons confederate cavalry officer, is dangeroasly ill at Bagley Springs. Alabama, from chronic diarru-ha. His friends have little hopee of his recovery.

Davenport Dying. E. L. Davenport, the tragedian,is dying at Canton, Pa.

Charles 8cbanb, tbe ex hack driver arrested yesterday, was taken to Ft. Wayne this morning by city marshal Kelly of that place. Buhanb is wanted in Ft Wayne to explain some very strange exploits in finances, having invested his wife’s dowry in a non-remnnerative theater and then departed, it is claimed with tbe funds of tbe concern when he found the investment would cot pay.

Why this Fuss.

To the Editor of The Indianapolis News: Tbe rale of the cabinet is, reward those who have done the least for the party, unless they have been paid for tffHir services.
