There ia surprise over the appointment of John R.

A* be is au attorney of prominoaeo, tho office could have no financial nor istellectnai attractions for him.

Tbo bondsmen who wore willing te fill Sullivan's plaoo without pay arc protesting against the aetion of the Commissioners. Some ot Mr. Sprouts’• friend* particularly aro not happy. They aay that Mr. Sproulo mortgaged his farm to obtain $5,000 to help Sullivan out in a pinch usd that te deprive him of a job (bo has been Bnilivaa's chief deputy and acting clerk) as well as of hie worldly goods, is harsh treatmont. Mr. Wilson will not reappoiot him. Tbo County Cemmisoioners and Judge Hadlov took tardy notion Saturday avsniog in resolving to investigate defaulter Sullivan's affairs.

Between the Potto# and tbo dtrlkora Mow York, Bat Mo Oortoas Trouble.
New Yoke, February 4.—But few care were run yesterday, and tbo day, with ona exception, was quiet. A riot occurred in the neighborhood of Twenty-eighth eireet in the afternoon. A gang of hoedlnma gathered and began throwing stones nt tho passing drivora and conductors. Tfaoy continued nnlil a crowd of 2,000 people, mostly young tougbe, were collected. Rocks were placed on tbo tracks and men ou top ot the housetops hurled stones down upon tbo top of tbo ears. Many can ware derailed. Next th* gang began dumping dirt and timbers npon the treek. The police were again called ont from Captain Ryan's precinct nod n call for aid on tho Central Police Office was responded to by Inspector Byroes end twenty men, who appeared jaat as the crowd took flight. The most important feature in connection with the strike this morning, is the starting of the Reehod avenue cars. No attempt has been made to ran those cars since the tic-op was inaugurated, and there woe considerable doubt a* to the security ot the new drivers and conductors on that line. A start was mad* at 9 o’clock, however, with eight policemen on each car and a doisn oars were soon rnnning on schedule time. It is the intention of th* company to run all its oars during tha day. Cara are rnnning on the Third, Fourth, Sixth and Seventh avenue lines, and on th* Twenty-Third, Forty-Sec-ond sod Grand street lines as on Saturday, while the Ei|bth nvenue and belt line intend to make a stm later. There are very few strikers on the street thi^ morning. Troubl- l« Bmoalyn. Trouble has arisen on Fifth avenue, where the strikers have collected in greet numbers and thrown up (prrricede*.

UPON THE PRESIDENT - ELECT.
Ho KeepowOa to Their Christina Addroea —Colter* nt th* Harrisoa Howe* th* Cabinet trUoaonloa. A company of diatlnguiohed looking gepUeme* standing just outside the transfer ear attracted general attention for a few mlnetee this morning. It was mad* up of forty membora of the Indiaoepolia Ministera’ Association, who at 11:45 boarded ears foniiahod by Manager Schaffer te call npon General Har-
rison.
Tbe time of thoir regular monthly mooting this morning was largely taken up in oigniug an address prepared by a committee appointed lost month, to be presented to General Harrison before hia departure for Washington. The address ia written on a largo piece of parchment in coppor-piat* style executed by E. J. Heeb. It is made picturesque by the variously written sigoatoree of forty-two ministers. Ooe of thera is that of an Evansville pastor who happened to be present and signed hia name by request. All tbe other names are those of members of the Association. The address reads aa follows: Indianafous, lud., February t. To General Benjamin Harrison, Praetdent-eleet of lb* United Stales: Upon the eve of your departure from among us to enter upon tbe high office to which you have been chosen by your countrymen, tbe membeix of the Indianapolis Minute rial A saoe tattoo beg leave most respectfully to tender this expression ef tb*U cordial esteem and affection. It ia natural that wc should consider the influence ot our
national development upon the progress of tbe kingdom of Jesus Christ. We therefore rejoice
m ~ a*
that the Chief Magistracy of the Republic ia to he Intrusted to one who holds oil Christian interests m sacred regard. W* shall continue to remember you before the throne of Heavenly Groce. Impiorlng for you that divine guidabcc upon which all power end usefulness must depend. Trusting that happiness may remain with von and yours tnrouzh the coming rear*, end that to your responsible station you may be “a minister of God for good” to our country and tbe
arid, we subscribe ourselves most respectfully
end sincerely yours.
With thi* memorial address tbs ministers oallad eo the General. They were expected, as advance notice had been given. Rev. Hanford A. Ed son, of Memorial Presbyterian Church, addressed the General as follows:
General Harrison;
Your neighbor* and friends, tha members of the Indianapolis Ministers' Association, have been in a "strait betwixt two.” We are not un-
mindful ot your Imperative engagement*. And yet we were unwilling to aee you taker
>w tasks without seckl >u our respects and wit
deriPK tbe weight of leepon-
to come upon
taken ftcap
among u* to your new tasks without sacking on opportunity to pay you our retpeou and wish you good-speed. Cousideiiuv tbe weight of responsibility m> soon to come npon you. It Is grateful to be able to turn toward tba seise and loving providence of God. As we stand before our rongreastlon*. and in our homes, you may be os-ured that we shall continue to crave for you HI* protection end guidance. The Association have prepared * brief address; and it Is my pleasure, in tbeir behalf, now to present to you these expressions of their most cordial esteem
end affection. •
To this General Harrison replied: I very greatly appreciate this kind and friendly expression. Coming os it does from alf the pulpits of the city, it Is all the more grateful to me. Entering upon the discharge of the duties which 1 shall so soon assume, I shall be ulitd for all the sympstby of the good people of tbe nation. Ifl am conscious of the possession of a single qualification lor the duties to which I am called, it it the serious and settled pwpose to do right as I niny he guided. I thank you for your Vint and your friendly expression of interest 1 Tbe ministers, ia addition to presenting tbe Harrison memorial to-day, discussed the matter of a chaplain for the Legislature. Secretary Douglas*, of the Y. M. C. A., had been requested by committees from tbe House and Senate to preeeut the matter to the Association. The miniatera were somswhut ebary of tba aubject. wishing to keep clear of tbe whole matter. The general fociing was one of disgust at the reception of W. F. Sheridan’s prayer Saturday. Dr. Edaon thought that no minister ought to be bound by the Association lo act as Chaplain upon a certain day and have tbia interlere with other duties. It waa desired by almost all to avoid aa.v resolution upon tha subject, but ooe waa finally passed referring the matter back to Secretary Douglaaa. Rev. E. P. Whalioo read a paper on “Tbe American Sabbath; Recent Efforts for its Destruction and Preservation." A resolution waa passed favoring a petition to tbe United States Senate aad Congress to pass the Blair Sunday bili. General Harrison’s Cabinet ia yet largely to be formed. There seem* to be little doubt that several members of it hava been selected; thera ia a certainty that there are ■till several places to be filled. Tbe supposition, early in tbe campaign, that Indiana would get a Cabinet petition baa long boon discounted, bnt recent supposed developments seem to possibly open the way for a Hoosier. If Senator Aliiaon baa declined the Treasury bench, as ie currently accepted, there may be hope for Indiana. Tb« supposed “eiigibles” are Judge Woods, John C. New, Lew. Wallace, ex-Governor Porter and Chairman H os ton. Objections to each of theca can readily be entertained by the speculator* who are figuring on tbia matter without the knowledge or eoneurrenoe of the President-elect: Thai: Judge Woods is destined for toe Supreme Bench. Joho C. New can’t be mixed with Blaine. Lew. Wallnoe bu neither tuts nor adaplibility for executive office. Governor Porter doesn't want e place, and would prefer to go abroad to study. Mr. Huatou has, perhaps, in a political Mnac, “earned’’ a place, bnt there ia no special demand for him. Ot nil the Indianinna named probably ■one ia a possibility aa a Cabinet member except Judge Woods or Albert G. I'ortor. Judge Woods, it is believed, coaid have a place ia the Cabinet if he wanted one. Perhaps be already has it nader consideration. Oilers at General Harrison’s have in•louad Stnyvesant Fiah, aon of Hamilton Fish, Grant's Secretary of State; ex-Congreaa-man Kean, of New Jersey, and Colonel Hogeland, President of tbe Newebore’ Employment Aecoointfob. Tbe latter has preran ted a memorial uking the President to consider in hi* message to Congress tbe need of neiionel school* for the tramp yoeth of tbe
land. — —-

New Yore, February 4.—The Timet Washington special says: About a month from to-day tbo throng of bosinera men, that daily sweops down Broadway toward tba lower end of th* eity will include one individual who bu for raven yean devoted bimralf to tbe wrviee of tbo public and who will enjoy with n keen reel the privilege of being e private citirnn, free to devote bimralf to hia profession and at liberty to go or pome without comment or criticism. On Tuesday, March 5, Grorer Cleveland now President of the United State*, will become a resident of the eity ol New York and a member of tbe law firm ot Bangs, Sieteon, Tracy A McVtagh. Tbe President bu been contemplating this association for eome time, j but only completed bis arrangements recently, daring n trip to tbe White House of Mr. Stetson, with whom be is soon to become connected. He will take tbo place, u counsel, ot Mr. MeVragb. The President's name is not to be incorporated in that ot tbe firm, and be is not expecting to eppeer in court. He left bis practice in Buffalo in 188-1, bnt be bu bun so constuntiy obliged to consider public matters with reference to the application ot the principles of tbe lew that be bu not hud a chance to become at ail rusty. Industrious by habit as well u by inclination he anticipates taking hold oi bis work with great pleasure. No lawyer in New York thinks ot devoting me much time to bis professionial duties ua President toast who expects to keep pace with the matlitudinons duties of th* ohitf magistrate of the nation, and no lawyer who hoped te do bis clients justice in preparing tbeir cases, would be able to do so, if be were permitted to be interrupted, u the President can not help being. Mr. Cleveland hu not selected a permanent residence bat he will live in New York City and not in Jerrey or Brooklyn. Tbe idea ot living in New Jersey hu n great deal of attraction, bnt the inconvenience of tbe travel wu decided to be a sufficient objection. So tbo PresUlent will lire in a hotel near Madisoa Square and be will seek to maintain his preaantgood health by walking from his hotel to his office on Williams street. ASLEFP FOR A MONTH.
A Strange Cos* That la Eorplexing the People of Atticn, N. Y. Attica, N. Y„ February A—la August, 1887, Mrs. Emma Alihonse bad a long spell of sicknras, during which the appeared to be uleep day* at st a time. Smee thea at frequent interval* she hu bad steeping spells luting from seven to eleven days, during which time she took 00 nourishmeai. On Sunday evening, March II, 1888, she sank into her longest sleep, or trance, *0 for, which luted thirty-fire days. Daring tbe eight days preceding tbie lengthy sleep she partook of more nourishment than in nil the six month* preceding, being a little over a glusiul of milk administered in teaspoonfult. Daring her trances her teeth are closed at firm u a vise, and nil efforts to pry them open to sdminister food are fruitless. During tbs first few day* ot her slesp her body wu somewhat flashed, bat later the had a perfectly colorless appearance, and her hands wbsn lifted fell back like lead. After thi4 she did not indulge in any very lengthy eleep, excepting three or four days, until December 23 lut, when tbe slept nine days, after which she remained awake for three days up to 6 o’clock a. m., January 3, when she again passed into one ot her long trances, and is still, at tbe present writing, Jut asleep. Just before she fell asleep she predicted that tbe present one would be a very long one, how long exactly ebe eonld not tell. The ease certainly it a very mysterious one, and hu defied, the efforts of »nme of tha local as well as outside physicians, who have prononneed it one of the most stubborn in the annals of the profession.

Sir Julian Pauncofole, Appotntod British Minister to the Cuitea Biota*.
London*, February A—It is stated that Sir Julian Pannoefole, Permanent Under Seoretary of State for the Foreign Office, has been appointed British Minister to the United Statu. Although tho report is not officially confirmed, it ie eredited at the Foreign Offioe. The appointment is oreuting intense irritation in British diplomatio circles u a departure from the rale of succeuion in appointmonte according to rank in the raryiee. Sir Julian Pauncefole ia a lawyer, not n diplomats, and wu never attached to any embassy. He wu appointed to bis prerant prat on aoeonnt of his sxteaaive knowledge of the legal bearings of treaties. As his prerant salary is only £2,000 yaarly, tbe new appointment is n desirable one, the salary of tbe Minister at Wubington being £6,000. Sir Julian Pauncefole married Mira Selina Lubitt, daughter of the lata Major Cubitt, and bu a family. Among officiate ha hu a reputation for shrewdoea*. flle bu quiet, amiable mauners, allied with much acuteness. Jtr. Bin** Not in Polities. Judge C. C.

Brought A boat by th* Policy-HoMora’ Wrath ana by the Prosecuting Attorney—Hietory of the Cnee.
Since tho defalcation nnd snbeeqaent flight frbm th* eity ot Joseph A. Moor* bourne public, th* people have wondered how ho could so suecewfally piny bis gam* for eo long n lime. A week or eo ago Mr. Winfield Miller, the sueeeeeor of Moore u agent lor the Connecticut Mutual, raid to a News reporter, "if you could but lay the corraspondeuoe between Moore nnd tho com posy before tbe public it would be sensational reading.” The News is able to do so; in part, at ieut. Moor* enjoyed tbe utmost confideoee of tbe company; be displayed snob business tact aad sent in so much money that be wu looked upon u one of the “smartest men in Indiana.’’ While b« wu not a regularly autborixed agent to tend money because bis commissions would com* under tii* statute defining usury, particularly in Illinois, he bad the privilege of receiving applications lor loans and forwarding them to the company, aud lor this be received heavy com mission*, it being stated that some years he received “per cent*’' amounting to nearly 825,000. In 18*0 be notified the company that one of tbeir mortgege* wu due, but the party did not have tbe money. “He can get the loan elsewhere if you send tbe release of the mortgage, which I think would be tbe best thing to do,” write* Moore. Tbo release wu forwarded and tbe money promptly rant to tbe company—which, of coarse, pleased them immensely. Then followed similar transaetinns, and when tbe money did not come after the release had been sent here tbe compauy would write: “What bu become of tbe mortgnge so and eo for which we seat you release numbered ?”* Moore would reply that the loan bad not been fixed no yet, but “it will be in a abort time. Mr. X. it very hard preased for money, and it Mould bo policy to wait on him. I will bold release until he pays up.” All this time Moore had been paid lb* money and tho release of ciorigago wu on record. Moore rant th* interest oa Mr. X's loan regularly, but kept th* principal that X bad paid him, thus paying the oompany Interest ont of tbeir own funds. At other times ho would write that “th* eataiea are in the hand* of administrators or guardians, bnt they will not send tbe money to Hertford, but, u per Indiana Uwa, will pay it into the court a* soon as company sends release.” The releasei would 00m* and then Moore would write that legal complication* had arista, or ths administrators or guardians were not ready to make payment, and be would just hold ths release and remit intereet. This he did— except be released the mortgages and pooksttd tbe money. In other cues be would get the money and write that it had not been paid. The paniee were disappointed in securing the funds, business was dull in Indianapolis, trad* wu stagnated and be begged further time for the delinquent. Ail this lime be bad the money in his pocket and was engaged in not only awindliag the company, but in smirching tbe business reputation of thi* eity and many men here. It would no doubt grieve some men in this eity, who did not owe a dollar to tbe Connecticnt Mutual or anyone else, to learn wbst a financial rating they were given by the arch swindler. A bntiness men who paid off a five-thooeand-dollar mortgage has been delinquent on tbe company's books tor over two year*. Daring all th* time Moore wu remitting great snm* of money to tbe company, sums for in excess of wbst he kept. For instance, in one montb be rant them about $200,000 and the same montb be stole $5,000. Another month he sent in $150,000, and held back $8,000. At last some ot tbe officer* of the company gave evidence* of suspicion. Tbsy Usd rant many releases of mortgages, on which they had received no returns. There wu a very large number of delinquents in Ohio and Indiana, who were still paying in* forest on mortgages long put doe. Au agent wu sent here expecting, of course, to, find the release* forwarded to Moor* still nuused. He found, on the contrary, that the releases had been used and then be knew what had been going on. The company wu notified and Moore wu oalted to account. In an interview he mad* a fail and complete confession of his crime, wbioh wu forwarded to Hartford. Right then wu tho lime for th* oompany to set, but President Green* accepted hia declaration 'that be would not lure, but would stey and face bis “trouble*.” He wu a self-confessed embsxxier, yet the company did not put him where he could not run away, u would have been done if some poor fool had ■toleB$15. The taxes ($11,000) for 1888, found to be delinquent, were paid by Secretary Abbott, of the company, who wu sent here. The bird haying flown, tbe pressure upon the company hu beoome eo strong that it hu been determined at lut to proseeute him, and the Grand Jury in serafon, advised by the prosecutor, will probably find a bill. The News prediet* that Moore will bo indicted for forgery and embexztement within the week, and money will be spent I reel y to bring him back and punish him. The News believes that its efforts, in a measure, hare caused this turn to be taken in tbe emhexslsr’s affairs. Moore’s whereabouts representatives of tbe oompany assort are not known nnd eome of the stories sent from Montreal, Canada, are discredited by them . The company says it is determined that Moor* eball be brought to jnstioe and one ot its officers savagely says that hi* return to tbia city in irons is Only a question of tims. Unsatisfactory Explanation. Colonel Greene, President of th* Coaneetiont Mutual, hu iraued a* oi renter to tho policy-holders which is an explanation that explains lit!!*. He say* tbe oompany selects for n financial correspondent a man of reputation nnd nbiiity. He jg not an agent. No money is pnl into his hands, nor bubo th* aothority to make loans. Ha forwards applications for loans and tba necessary information. “If it is aocepted ho in anthorissd to draw for tbo amount wbsn tba aeoassary notes, mortgagor abstracts, certificates, imurance policies, etc., ahali have been executed and delivered to him and found entirely comet and recorded, which papers are than forwarded aad eaoh year examined and verified by tbe Anditora, and every three years by th* fun ranee Commissioners of the State. The principal aad interest of thera loans are payable nt this (Hartford) offioe. A* a matter ef personal oonvonfoaea, many of the borrowers hand tbe money te lb*** eorrrapoadents and uk them te gat a draft aad eead it for thorn. When a borrower bocomra in arrears with hia payments and disregard* not tees tba company calls tho especial attention of tbeir wrrrapondeat to him, aad request him to press for payment, aad te advise u of the foots ia thocara, and whether foreeloenre la necessary. It is lb rough tbo fact that borrowers to largely go to him for thoir poraooal oonveaienra and through th# eases of arrears which wo rafsr to him for action that aay opportunity arises to appropriate money aad to dee*ire us ia regard to it. It wu throagb thaw opportaaitie* that Moor# eoatrived hia scheme. Tho money given by borrowers ia eertaia inetancea te pay principal or intereet, or both, was pocketed by him. Oa these be eontiantd to pay interest more or tea* regularly, as if they were iu fore*. Such intereet par meats u he did not make ha aeeoaatod for by a most ingenions aad raasietont series ot falsehoods. At regular intervals a lira of al! arrears of interest waa scat him, with a reqawt to pram lor payment, to foreclose such m were not likely to pay, aad te report in detail what sboaid bo done la oaah ease. Moore represented th* par-
ticular borrowers whose m«ney ho bad taken as being ia financial difficulty, anxious to strugglo ua and pay thoir debt at th* earliest moment, and te rave thoir property from foreclosure, aad confident that they eonld do it with icaieney, aad promising to make payments u fast u possible. Tha payment of interest which he made oa thera pocketed loans ho represented, of coarse, u coming from the borrowers themselves, and be mad* saoh oireumstsatisl statements of tbo conditions and prospects of each on* u inevitably exeited sympathy and made tho oompany hopeful of a satisfactory outcome at lut.” Tbo Colonel raizu tho opportunity to advertira th* amazing prosperity of tho 00mpanv, but doesn't tell how it happens that, inasmuch as uli necessary papers mut bo forwarded aad examiaed every third year, tea years have elapsed witbont an examination. Had thera been one it would have boon ascertained that many of the mortgage# reported to be living had long been paid off and th# money rnmarad down into Moore’s poekets.

Method* of Invoertguitoo.
Methods of stirring up derelict officials of ^ suipension of prooeediags. I’areoa Chase
the Connectieat Mataal Company ora not lacking. As bu already been detailed, prominent citizen* favor a raeeting of policyholders to take concerted action ngaiist the present management with a view to arousing sufficient hostility to compel a change ot administration. Then again, th* opinion of Finanoial Agent Milter, of tbe oompaay is thought to contain valuable suggestions by some persons interested. He think- the Insurance Commissioners of Connecticut will certainly invwtirate thn affairs of tbe company if the eompUinta retch their cars, and u tbsy are armed with tbe broadest authority, they are in position to bring faulty officers to account. It may be poraible, uy acme persons, that a stats meat of tbe facts known in tbs Moore case placed before thi* Board of Com mis* ion* ra would briag it to thslr attention ia a manner that would lead
it to an immediate investigation.
Another plan wbioh apparently ia entirely feuible, tain the power of tbo Btata Auditor to opply. An ozamiuation of the inanranoo laws of tho State shows that tbo Auditor may employ an export to investigate the books or operations ot any insnreno* company doing baainora in Indiana if in his judgment Ua affairs or management are not conduoted in tbe best Interrats of the polior-holders. At any time, oa being convinced that all ie not right, he may revoke a charter and prohibit the company at fault from carrying on any buslnen* in tbe State whatever. The investigation ordered by the Auditor is prosecuted entirely at the expense of tbe oompany investigated, eo that bo coat attaches to tbe
State in the matter.
Tbe annnal statement of tbe Connecticnt Mutual Company is over-dueatths Auditor’s office and is expected nay day. ‘Until it arrives Auditor t’arr is not willing to take any notion In the matter, nor to anticipate
his probabl* course.
“If the statement h not according to law,” be said this meralng, “that of itself bars the oompany from the Slat*. We ean not tell yet whether it will be made. \V ben it ie, we will consider tbe relation wbioh the Moore embezzlement sums to bear to its manage-
ment."
It is eleer that it lira within the Auditor's power to draw out a plain showing ot the inside method* of operation of th* oompany, or to exetade it from tbe State. As it bolds real estate in this city alone valued at nearly $2,000,000 besides much more in tbe State and has many handred polior-holders there iv lUtla probability that it will withdraw even tbougb aa expraura of methods promisra to prove aevSre. Absurd Cass of Mistaken Identity. It will b* many moons before Mr. A. T. Allen, Manager of tbe Indinapolta Fire Insurance Association, is u certain of anything as he wu to-day. “Joseph A. Moore wu in my office this morning to introduce a gentleman who is to succeed to part of hta business,” laid Mr. Alien to a Nsws representative. “Are yon sure it wu Moore? Do tob know him perfectly well?” “Well, I think I ought to kanw him; I've done bnsiaees with him long enough.” Mr. Allen wu as thoroughly convinced that be had seen Moore u he eonld be oi anything, nnd bn lookyd rather pi^ftilly upon tbn somewhat incredulous reporter. The gentleman who had called to be introdnoed to Mr. Allan wu Mr. Powell, and tbn gentleman who celled to introdnee him wu not Moore, bnt Mr. W. A. Rhodes (of Powtll & Rhodes). Kind friend* prevsntsd Colonel Rhodes from committing suicide or other net ot violence when be ascertained that he bad bun mistaken for Moor*—and especially by oas who is presumed to have a perfect acquaintance with all the insurance agents. Meanwhile there are many other reports that Moor* bu been seen hereabouts.

Over an boor was occupied in diseuislng Mr. Claypool’s bill amending section 2.487 ot the Revised Statutes concerning tbe law of descent, proposiog to give to widows an absolute life estate in the onethird share of property left to them instead of a fee simple title. Mr. Fields said that, u the law stands, it causes contusion and tea delusion. Tbe amendment would make tbe law just wbat it is generally supposed to be. Mr. Adams said that, with the exceptioa of lawyers, there is not one person who knows what th* law is. He favored it also for tb* reason that it would make the estates liable for debts. Now nof more than two-thirds oan be taken. Mr. Cnrtta opposed the bill.
