ATTEMPTED PARRICIDE. “Sank" Wallace, While Insane, Shoots his Father, Andrew Wallace, Fear Tunes. Yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Rachael Wallace, wife of Andrew Wallace, the wellknown old wholeaale groceryman, of Indianapolis, received a dispatch reading: Lx ad City, March 30. Sanford baa gone crazy and shot me three ttmea. ‘ Ahdrkw Wallack. The vagueness of the telegram, saying nothing as to the probable effect of the shots, coupled with the shock, affected Mrs. Wallace greatly. She has but just recovered from a long spell of sickness, but has been able to keep from utter prostration by force of will. In answer to a demand for fuller information, the following from her son, Joeeph M., was received last night. Father was thot in four places, but tho doctors say not fatally. We have Sanford In the hospital. A special telegram says that Sanford ("Sank,” as he was familiarly known here) has been suffering from lung fever for some time, and last Thursday was removed from Deadwood to his father’s residence in Pennington, five miles south. At that time, Mrs, Wallace said this morning to a News reporter, Mr. Wallace wrote that ha was better. But that night symptoms of lunacy appeared, and he grew worse and soon became totally deranged. Yesterday, just before noon, taking advantage of the temporary absence of his brother Joe, Sank left his bed in an adjoining room, and having obtained possession of a revolver by some unknown means, attacked his father, who was sitting at a desk writing. Before the latter could overpower the lunatic, hediad been shot faur I times—in the neck, left side, left jaw, and fleshy part of the left arm. Medical aid was at once summoned, and after, his wounds were dressed, Mr. Wallace and Sank were removed to Deadwood and placed iu the hospital. Besides Joe s telegram that the wounds are not fatal, nothing is known about Mr. Wallace’s condition, although his wife has telegraphed for information. Amusements. * ■NCHANTMXNT. "Enchantment,” which was played last night at the Grand Opera boose, is in point of drawing qualities, one of the greatest successes of the season. The house was crammed alow and aloft. The plot, like much of the dressing, is of the usual gauzy texture of show pieces. It has its devils, gnomes, and familiar spirits of jpany degrees, its enchanted maiden and moonstruck lover, its clownish rejected suitor and his clownish page, its scenes of splendor dropped from above, its red lights and. dark mountain gorges, its old hermit who finds the magic powder, and its impossible situations. Then there is the ballet, with its gorgeous display of nudity, which is more than an average ballet, and shows thorough training and great skill. In one of tne acts Moira, the great Russian lady gymnast, shows some remarkable feats of strength, and the famous Herbert Brothers do some very fine acrobatic feats. The royal staircase band is composed of half a dozen members, beginning with a three foot drum major and ending* with a drummer with his head ia the (stage) clouds. Of the singers Henry Laurent, formerly of the Oates troupe, and the "Dear Baby” of the Oates letters, is the best of the company. He was frequently encored. The lady singers hardly did themselves credit, none of<bem being in good voloe. The ape might.be made a feature but was grossly overacted. To-night closes the engagement. THI STODDARD BXVSFIT, The benefit tendered to M1h Lillian Stoddard, one of the most promising young singers of the city, will take place at the Park theater Friday night. The restore is already quite large. Miss Stoddard will be assisted by some of our best local talent. BIV OOTTO*. The Ben Cotton combination will be at the Grand Ooara house the last three nighta of this week, with matinee. Little Idatone is one of the best attraction! of the troops.

This has saved from want nearly 98,00$ widowed families, besides rendering aid in benefits to 729,189 members. At present the annual revenues of the order amount to $5,000,0$0, and the annual expenditure for relief over $1,500,00$. ;JThe members of the Odd Fellows mutnal aid association are Toting on several amend-’; ments lo the constitution of the organization. The principal ones are to Remove restrictions of membership and to grade the assessments. - At present the membership is limited to 2,500 and the assessments are graded according to age. The 'proposition is to remove the limit of membership and make the assessments uniform; without some such change as'-this, by which new and younger blood can be brought into the association, it is said to be a matter of time when it shall go to the wall for lack of Vitality. The votes that have thus far come in, show that those in favor of the change are slightly in the majority. MRS. CLEM. • ' An Unwrittan Chapter by Peter Wilkins.— He Telia Where the Money Cenaes From— The Secret of Her Financial Operations. To the Editor of The Indianapolis News: On the occasion of Mrs. Clem's perjury trial, Mr. Hezekiah Hinkeon, when asked how he came to have money transactions of such magnitude with that lady, testified that “Peter Wilkins solicited him to do it.” This has led many to believe me a party with Mrs. Clem to beat Hinkson and others out of their bard earned (7) money; in fact, no other intelligent inference can be drawn from it. It is not only untrue, but if spoken of any one other than Peter Wilkins, it would damage his reputation as welL Hezekiah was evidently hard pressed to thus unwittingly continue me the scape-goat for his and others’ weaknesses in connection with Mrs. Clem. I will give the facts of the inception of Hinkson’s dealings with Mrs. Clem, not that I know nor particularly care whether people will believe what I say, but simply because of the great consolation it affords an honest man to reveal the truth where a lalshood is uttered to his injury. It was with Hinkson, like many others, his greed and avarice for gain, not Peter Wilkins, that solicited him first, last and always. Whilst Mrs. Clem was yet in prison for the Young murder, Hez. had a powerful hankering * after big ■ percentage. He said to me then if she ever got out and engaged in legitimate (?) financial operations that he would let her have money. No sooner waa she out than did Hezekiah ask me if she were going into business. I told, him I didn’t know, but if so I could tell him. He said he wished 1 would do so. Afterwards, in conversation with Mrs. Clem, she said that if she could get another start she could make money faster than ever before. 1 asked what kind of start she meant, and she said some one to let her have money. I mentioned Hinkson’s offer. She asked me to have him call unon her. I saw Hinkson in a week or so and told him. He asked me to go with him. I declined, saying he could introduce himself. He wondered if it was really safe to let her have money. I replied^, that all I judged by. was from her dealings with such prominent citizeng as Dr. Duzan, Messrs. Sharpe, Wright, and others here, whom she always paid promptly, not only the principal, but had also paid some of them, as they themselves swore, interest on their loans at the rate of six per cent, an hour; that if she paidthem I knew no reason why she wouldmt pay him. He himself could see no reason why she shouldn’t pay him also in like manner. When we next met he said he had let her have money; that it was then due, and he was then going after i}. When I next saw him be said be got his money, was well pieased, even delighted with her dealings, and had let her have more than on the first occasion, and that she then owed him $400. Shortly alter this I learned the secret of her financial operations, and went immediately to Hinkson’s residence at 3 o'clock in the morning, whilst he was yet slumbering the happy hours away, dreaming of loans, percentage, and financial matters generally. I woke him up anU told him he had better get his $400 as soon as possible, and when he bad pulled out to stay out altogether, and I also told him of my dfscoveriM—that is, that her "modus operand!” in financial affairs was nothing more or less than a big confidence game. Hezekiah wept aloud and bitterly, and exclaimed unto mb, "My God, my God, she has got oyer six thousand of my dollars; what shall I do, Peter?” This was the first intimation I had that Mrs. Clem ever held more than $400 of Hinkson’s money. Yet he would convey the impression that I solicited him to deal with ner. It may be of little interest to the public to know how I worked it to get either Hinkson’s money for him, or security for the same. But I will say that, being an acquaintance and old army comrade of his, 1 naturally sympathized wi’h and assisted him to this end. However, if either the public or Hezekiah craves such literature, the facts are as clear as they were remarkable, as the madam herself can, if she only wonld, vouch for, as I was not a witness on the perjury trial, nor afforded an opportunity to be

heard.

I am, with great regard for truth, Pktkr Wilkins.

To th« Editor of ThaJndJanapoliB News! * Will the writer of the Journal who thinks the introduction of Dr. Richardson's temperance lessons in the public schools a "companion piece to the geometry of dress,” please answer these questions: Will it do a boy any barm or waste his father’s money for

him to be taught the physiological effects of alcohol on the body ? Will it do a girl any good or save her father’s money for her to

be taught the geometry of dress?

Population of New Orleans, T» the Editor of The Indianapolis Mews: According to an item in yesterday’s News* New Orleans has a population of 250 000. What is the entire population of New Orleans? * A Riadib. [Thera is no official data of the preseftt population. In 1870 it was 191,418. The 250,000 in the item copied is probably a mi* print, for although the population is largely Catholic, the city’s growth has not been grant for tan years.
