Willlara Habbel!, of Whltely County, yesterday killed hie wife and then shot hlmaelf. Iln still lingers, with no hope of his life. It Is surmised that he was insane. Portland, Me., had an election the other day, and it is described In a dispatch as k'the mo t Intense political straggle ever mads" in that city. The Democrats carried the city by nearly 00 majority, and one ward went Democratic for the frit time In twenty years. Tora or five more appointments were made yesterday by the President. Tney camo in the nick of time for the organs to have something to howl over. Mr. Miller's appointment gave each anivers&l satisfaction that they were beginning to despair. Tane up, gentlemen, and amuse yourselves. Tin: Chicago Herald facetiously names Mr. Marat Halitead in connection with the Governorship of Ohio. Why not? When the Republican party elect second rate men like Hajes and Charltu Foster for Governor there should be no hesitancy when a big, brainy men like Mr. Halste ad is proposed fur the chair. Tnc Globe-Democrat splatters about Mr. Hendricks, and drawing largely on Its fand of iinorance asserts that he was "a drag" on the ticket last fall. He was so mach of a drag that he dragged 7 .000 majority upon it in Indiana, and Mr. Dans of the New Yo k Ban, who carries u Terr level head, states that Mr. Hendricks saved New York Slate to the Damocracy. Tu a Vice President seems to have ".ntlaence" enough to keep the Republican or-ins on a high pressure rampage. The Journal yesterday walled through three columns. Its original matter gave oat early, and then it drew largely on its exchange. The Journal folks do not forget thii time when the Vice President passed taem throueh his threshing machine for babbling in the United States Marshalihipi on election day. It hurts jet They dine standing or sitting upon air cushions. Tu a successor of Mr. Bayard in the Senate as has already been announced li Mr. George Gray. He is 4 1 years old and is serving his second term as Attorney General of Delaware. He was born at New Castle and was graduated at Princeton In 1S59. He is an intimate friend of Senator Bayard, whom he nominated for the Presidency in the con ention of 15S4. He is a man of fine phya' que, broad mind and liberal yiews, and the general feeling is that he will come as near to filling Mr. Bayard's place as any other Delawarean could. Congressman IU bertxon has just returned 1o Kentucky from Washington. He gives some Information to the Courier-Journal concerning the straggle for Commissioner of Internal Revenue. He was asked to what he attributed the defeat of Mr. Thompson. He replied: "To tbe fact that be was supposed to b9 connect ed with the whisky rln. Yo know he was one of tbe principal advocates of the Bonded Extension bill, and has been a persistent figbter for the Jfauor interest. This led to tbe unjust suspicion Thica caused his defeat. " "Then tbe tariff question bad nothln; to do Kith it?" asked tbe reporter. "Not a tit," he rejoined. The tariff w isn't ven mentioned, nor was it taken into considera Ion. Tbe President simply felt that his position ca the whisky question made his appointmeat

unwUe and ImpoMtble. taouza he did not doubt

k bis bonesty and ability, "A a to Mr. Miller, hit appointment gives grett sstlsfactlon. I waa told by Senator Kennt tha t be Is a gentleman of the utmost pro&ltv and ability, and from all that 1 beard. I do not doubt that ne will make a splendid Commissioner. "How do I like President Ucveland? ne Is a Brand man, and la trowing upon everybody, fie will make a Chief Magistrate of whoa the country will be proud." Benjamin H. Hill, Jr., appointed yesterday United States Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia, Is a sou of the late Senator B. H. Hill. The appointee, although quits a young man, came within a few rotes of being elected to fill his father's unexpired term in the United States Ssnate. He has served two terms as Solicitor General of the Atlanta Circuit, is an excellent lawyer and a man of sterling oaalities. Mr. Hill's appointment will give universal satisfaction to the people of his district. A BIT OF HISTORY. In referring to the record of a Mr. Hlgin of Baltimore, who has recently been appointed to a clerkship in the Treasury Department, a Washington special to the Commercial Gazette, anions other things, says: In 1476, andazatn in into, he had charge- of the IUIUraoro repeaters and runiaoa who went to tbo October election la Indiaua, registered at the New Deuliou Home lu Indianapolis, aud conducted their operations from that point. The New Dsnlson wai not built in 1S7J. We do not know whether Higlns was here in ISM) cr not. Tho history of that year of Indiana Republicanism is of tbe blackest. The Republicans had filled this city la October with ging of radical bums and roaghs front the large cltiee Fast, and to oflset these honlfs It was necessary to have some one heic to "spot" them. It was owing to this timely aid that Republican repeaters were thwarted. Several were arrested on election day, bat were set at liberty by Dadley or his deputies on straw bail. Dadley was at that time the United States Marshal. The ma jority that was promised Mr. Porter for Governor in Marlon County, and anticipated because of the presence of the-e hammers and repeater?, was V00. It was owing entirely to Democrat I o vigilance that the proposed majority was kept down to about -,0)J, and about one-half or ruar of this was logos. At this electloi we were overwhelmed by hundreds of partisan tolicemen and Deputy United Qtates Marshals under Dadley, in addition to the hordes of Republican bummers, roughs and repeaters from the large cltiei which held no October election that year. The Republican organs should be very modest when they r'fer to the Indiana election of 18S0. The great wonder is that Mr. Porter's majority in this county was not 5,000 or 0,000. The rascality ot Indiana Republicanism it that tiri- had reached the highest type of development. Nothing that ever happened In Louisiana, Mississippi. Philadelphia or New York equalled it. It was radical rascality and sculduggery in fall profusion and perfection. MORE OP TUB BIO STEAL. There is a deal ot snapping and snarling at Mr. Cleveland and his Cabinet by the opposition press, no matter what they do or propose to do. A Republican administration, lu the very death hour of its existence, however, passes over to Jay Gould and his crowd 700,000 acres of public land, and the organs emit not a nole of displeasure. Senator Fastis, of Louisiana, woke op the Washington correspondent of one Republican newspaper at least, and we therefore find in the Chicago Tribune the following in relation to the big steal: The features of tbe dar In the Senate were the arraignment of Hccrctatv Teller's administration by Mr. Vn tVyck, and the sneech of Kuitl. tho new I.ouiaiaua Senator. uioti tbe Backbone grant, 'I be latter bad an atn'abti iddrcss. aud developed one ImioriRUt new point. It was that the Louisiana I.okIhIiiiuiu bad repealed the act Incorporate in ttie lUrkbuue Company three years uef re tbe n gnment to the New Orleana and I'aclflc. so that lu isct the Uclttone corpora' ion wai do id and the asklnraent lunpcratlve. Mr. Kuatls Is a I'rolmor of Civil Law la the University of Loulsl. hu a, and h expoaed tbo pretcnae ot tho lata Mcretary of the Interior that tho pledca of the 1'ienldeot of tne New Orleans and I'acluc trat the a ttlersahnuld bo protected waa blnUinir. Mr. lCiiatis ald under LouUtana law It waa mere unilateral promise a proniUe In tbo air, without etttct. IleaaM a great wrong had been done tbe pt'or1of LouUtana, aud be wlahed to enter his promt sitalust Its conaummatlon. Tbe title to the laut1. a waa Illegal and fraudulent and set up to lt fraud settlers of their rights. Tnls vcrv title hsd been denounced by the NewOrletnt Patitlc Company lu documents which had ixen preaeutod In CouKri'NM aud lu tbe Interior Department as utterly bae!ci and lllcual. Kvcrybody was perfectly a: reed thai tbe Hackbouo Company was a uulitnc aud a dUsrace: tbat it never Hvol for any corporate purpoxo whatever, but wa a mere uelcton of derelict associations. Yet In issl, by one ot tho moat extraordinary proceedings ou record, tbla defunct company made an atiignment to tho New Orleans 1'aclflc Com r any, and It was upon such title that the latter based Its claims. The transfer waa radically telous aud absolutely void. The consideration for it was the enormous sum of f I. Uno third of tbe stockholders denounced the act before tbo In icrlor Department a a sham and a fraud. He was glad to kuow that the Secretary ot the Interior was going to luvestlcate this matter, and he hoped that lu tbe future there would be an administration which would bo In the Interest of the people and protect them from tbe rapacity of rich rail toad corporations. The Tribune refers editorially to the da bate and remarks further: "Mr. Teller defended his coarse, falling back upon the opinion of the Attorney General and tha Bouse Judiciary Committee. Mr. Van Wyck replied in a sarcaiUc speech. Referring to Oklahoma, he said that the Federal bayonets were pointed against the breasts of the hardy pioneer, but there were no bayonets to drive oat the cattle syndicates or U destroy the fences illegally inclosing mil lions of acres of public- property. In the exuberance of his sympathy for Gould and Huntington Mr. Teller has hastened to issue the patents, fearfal lest the next Congress and the next Administration might not be sufficiently subject to corporation control." The New York World gives the swindle a timely jolt as follows: "Notwithstanding the crowding of the work ou Sundays and a, nights, Secretary Teller could not get the whole job through, which was to give the favored corporation patents for 1,000,000 screr. About 337,000 acres were left behind. "One of the first acts of Secretary Lamar fcas been the issue of an order suspending action on the remaining patents until further notice. "It wss'an outrageous job;to;rob the people of these lands as a parting net of Republican rule, it the lands are really forfeited.

If the corporation is justly entitled to them there was no need for the indecent and suspicious haste in the issue of the patents. "Secretary Lamar has ab own a sturdy determination to stand by the rights of the people In the prompt action he has taknn. He would not deprive a railroad company of one of its just privileges. Bat he will no longer allow tbe public domain to be confiscated for the benefit of railroad speculators and adventurers."

13 THERE A REMEDY ? About two and a half years ago North Meridian street, from New York to Seventh street, was well paved with cedar blocks. From that time until now this fine boulevard has been constantly used as the main thoroughfare by all classes and kinds of vehicles passing to and fro between the central and northern farts of the city. The most heavlly ?aden trucks and wagons, baaling saw-logs, wood, brick, lumber and produce from the country into the city, and the coal carts, express and delivery wagons all use North Merid!an street, when necessary, to deliver their loads. No other avenues in Indianapolis are used as much excepting the business streetsSouth Meridian and portions of Illinois and Washington. Id consequence ot this excessive and continual travy traltlo the cedar pavement is brginnlcg prematurely to get rough, the esr and tear upon it being enough to shorten its expected and possible life at leaot one half. With ordinary traval and such as legitimately btlurgs to this thoroughfare the cedar block pavint; now down would last twenty years nt least, but not half that long if illegitimately u.ed by the general public, as is and has been the case. The frost I now coming out of the ground, and, as the thawing process goes on, one block is depressed below its neighbors as a heavy load passes elong, and so perceptibly that one can see a block, or perhaps several ot them, Mink into the soft ground underneath as the wheel of the vehicle rolls along. This extraordinary use of Meridian street should be forbidden, and the rights of the property owners adjacent, who were assessed for the Improvement and paid at the rate of ?" per foot front, ought to be respected and protected by our city fathers. Let tho Council enforce the ordinance, if there be one in the primlses (as we are informed thcro is), or take such other measures as will restrict the heavy tratllo to its proper avenues. If North Meridian streut is to be used as the mam highway for general hauling, as it now is, the city hould pay half, at least, of the cost of the cedar block pavement. Each street in the city c in have t certain legitimate amount ot travel, but for one thoroughfare to accommodate the general public, while the neighboring parallel streets are very little used, is all wrong, and it behooves our city authorities to look into and take proper steps in the matter. Pit Burchaiu) refuses to be retired. Last Sunday was appointed for him to make a farewell sermon to his peopleVfcut he preached on an entirely different subject. After the sermon one of the deacons was a iked to explaia the reason. "We can't say," he replied. "We are nonplased. The Presbytery requested Brother Barchard to retire, set to day for the date, and arranged ttut he should be paid &0Q a year as a pension ; but he won't co, and we can't make him very well that is the worst part of it." Dr. Barchard refuses to talk about a change, says he knows nothing about one, and abso lutely declines to listen to interrogatories upon tho subject. The old man refuses to add another "r" to his famous alliterative trio retire. Or all the reckless and unscrupulous liars ever fostered by the pr'si, the Washington correspondents of the Republican newspa pers are surely the prize-takers. They manufacture interviews between the President and his distinguished visitors with all the freedom a novelist makes conversations for his characters. They give to their respective papers Invented quarrelsbetween Democrats and, authoritatively, the business on which each prominent Democrat visits Washing ton, without having seen the visitor or even having heard stated what his mission might be. If Baron Munchausen were edit ing a dally newspaper outside of Washingtor, he would go among Republican correspondents there to select his stair. PRUSOXAkV. Victor Hih.o is eignty-tnree. Tin retirement of R. R. R. Barchard reminds one how vain is earthly glory. JoAwuiN Mili.kr'a mother has been diverted by her bov husband, Joe AllUan, whom she married lees than a year ago. David Davis on Monday celebrated his teventleth birthday by entertaining a largo party ot friends at his home in Bloomington. Napoleon Bonatartc, according to the newest light, Captain D. A. Bingham, and as accepted by the London Spectator, was really christened Nabulione. Miss 8. J. Richardion, daughter of the late Joseph acd Deborah Richardson, expired last Sunday morning after an illness of five days. She accidentally pricked her left thumb with a needle on Monday. She paid no attention to the matter until her thumb heran to swell. Tbe doctor was not called until Saturday, when it was fouud that nothing could be done to save her life, as gan grene had set in and the arm was dead nearly to the shoulder. St. Thomas Canada) Time?. Rsv. Mr. Cm v el ab p, brother of President Cleveland, accompanied by his wife, came over from Washington and spent Wednes day afternoon in this city. They visited Mr. Joeeph Neal, the uncle ot the Clevelands, at Iiis residence on North Caroline street, and stopped for sapper with Mrs. Oehr, an aunt, and the sitter ot Mr. Nenl, who resides at No. 2 South Oilmore street.

A Young AlNnMlmliiK od Forgad Notes of Ifta Discovered, Special to the Bcnttuel. Siici.nwiLi.c Ind., March H. W. B. Wright, a well known young real estate agent and alro local agent fur the Vandalia Railroad Company here, is missing since Monday, and to day it was discovered that he had fcrged the names ot his father, Elijah Wright, and his father-in-law, Leason Bass, to two notes for $-00 each. One of the notes wss cashed last September by Dr. W. O. McFadden here, and the other was given by Wright for $'-'00 bor rowed of the ladies ot tbe Presbyterian Church here, through Mr. Alfred Major, Vice Tnsldent of the First National Bank here. To the first note he forged the names of his father and his father-in-law, and to tbe last note the name of Mr. Baas was forged. How much, if anything, he owes tbe Vandalia Railroad Company is not known. It is said that Wright gavo tne railroad company a J -'.000 hoed to secuio them, to which the name of his father-in-law Is atttached, and there is suspicion that this Is not all right, as Mr. Bats Is knewn to be verv averse to zolni; se curity for anybody. Wright left a handsome and amiable young wife on a sick bed, tilling her Monday he was going to Indi anapolis and would be back that night or tbe next mornintr. but has not been seen since. Mrs. Wright was taken home by her fattier to day. Wright a escapade was the talk of the town this evanlne, and nioro crookedcres is looked for. County ComiutsloMra auil tbe KMlroad Tax. f rci a I to the ScntlncL Coi. t'M iii'!, Ind., March is The Colum bus, Hope and Oreensburg railroad tax due from Columbus Township was settled by the Boaidof Cotnruiisloners.to-day, The first installment of 1 per cent, amounting to r,C00 was withheld by litigation, but the second Installment has been paid. The rail road,, through its President, Colonel Scott, proposed to the Board that it would waive all claims t) interest and penalty for past delinquencies if tbe tax was placed on tbo duplicate, and collected this year as other taxes are collected. The proposition was accepted, wnlcn gives satisfaction to the majority of the taxpayers of this township. Colonel Scott made the proposition to the people ot Columbus Township in ISS'2, that if ihey would vote a tax of 2 per cent, that tbe road from this place to Oreensburr, giv ing Columbus direct connection with Cin cinnati and tbe Rast, would be built. lie has i arri'd out his promises to the letter, and he deserves the thanks ot the citizens ot Bartholomew County for his energy and public spirit.' Und Wreck or Freight Oars. Special to tbe Sentinel. Wabash, Ind., March 1. Ten car. of an Kast-bound freight train on the Wabash Road were thrown from the track three miles east of this city, at 4 o'clock this morning, and wer totally wrecked. The contents. comisting of wheat, corn, oats, middlings and flour, were scattered for several nundred feet alone the right of way and almost an entire loss. Toe track was blocsaaed lor nine hoars, all passenger trains being sent around via tbe Chlcsgo ana Atlantic, me comnanv will lose aoout fG.000 by the accl dent, but two of ten cars neing worm taxing in for repairs.

He is still living, with no hopes of hla lecovery. Hubbell was insane at the time, and his friends were about to make application for his admission to the insane asylum, which wss probably the cause ot the shooting.

TEXAS CATTLE. The Secretary of the National Aiuioclatlon of Cattlemen Id Texas The Banges Overstocked Free Gralns; Aboat Over.

St. Louts, March 18. Amos T. Atwater, Secretary of the National Cattle and Horse Growers Association, who has beem making a'jtour of Texas in the interest of that association, returned today, and reported a great diversity of opinion in regard to the lessee sustained by cattlemen in Texas dor lDg the past winter, they being variously (stixrated at from one to ten per cent. His own estimate is three to five per cent. The winter was the most severe ever known In Texas, and the drifting of cattle very great. It Is estimated that fully ir0,000 cattle southward and are now in the vicinity of Devil's Run and the Tecos country. Roundup parties have already been started for that section, but, owing to the poor condition of the rattle, it will require much time end careful driving to bring them back. The closing ot the old trail north will compel the owners to throw mach of their stir plus stock on the market this season, which, no doubt, will depress prices. It is beyond question that the Texas ranges are overstocked. Last year at this time over $1,000,000 worth of contract were held by Texas rauchn en, but this year not a dollar. Mr. Atwater thinks that free grating In Texas is aboat over. In the near future tbe stock raisers will have to pasture their herds on their own lauds, end cultivate ground enough for fodder to carry their cattle through the wln'.er. Mr. Atwater attended all the meetlnei of Cattle Annexations held while he was in the S'ate, aid waa nsored that tho next National Convention will be very lankly attended. Oik good result, already noticed, as growinu out of the convention of last year, is that tbe Chief of the Bureau ot Btatlstics is gathering e t n 1 1 t i c a in regard to cattle, and range cattlemen generally seemed to behotefill of better times, and wernon the qr.l vivo for everything new lu connection with their lndnbtry. 1I0(J PACKIXli.

Mr, Parsons is an interesting talker, and held his audience from li rat to last. His subject, "Tbe Story cf the Golden Age," was ably handled, and, although not new In all iti parts, was put in such an ingenious manner as to prove highly attractive. His story of tbo search of Professor Schlelmann and his wife for ancient; Troy, using as their guide Homer's storr f the citw tneir Dnrchasa of the supposed s.te, the work ot digging for it, tbe discovery, of a temple at tuet dapth of fifteen feet, indicating the location ol a comparatively modern city, the discovery of another temple some distance be low this and the final discovery of a temple corresponding to Homer's description, the recovery of a number of golden coins and ornaments valued at f 10.0(A), which are now in Kurope, and which prove the discovery ot the wonderful old city, and finally the expulsion of the explorer by the Government, was told In a delightfully refreshing manner. He then proceeded to describe the search ot Schliemann for the tomb of Agamemnon, taking again for his culde Homer'a description ot tha laughter ol the King at the banquet, with tbe other guesta, and their bee-hive shaped tomb fifty feet high. This was nlso discovered by taking tha bearings from Homer's description of tbe locality, and when the abaft ha I been sunk many feet the tomb was dicoverrd. In the center lay the bodyot a bumsn belnjr, with a crown on his heal, a fcoldtn mask on the face and with golden breastplate. Surrounding this body were u number ot others, evidently ot Inferior rank, bot still o:cupv ing royal positions, corresponding to the number named by Homer as the guests who were slaughtered with Agamemnon, their heads being to the center, their faces being covered with golden masks, each having a golden breastplate, and all being embilmed and perfectly preserved. At one side waa the body of a female, corresponding to Homer's Cassandra, King Priam's daughter, ard bis deecription of her golden and jew el led ornaments corresponded to tnoe of this corpse. Scniiemaun procured a numoer of artisans, scientists ar.d professionals not enthusiastio BL(i romantic tourists, but practical men, ard ith these went into tbe tomb to un mask the corpses. Upon the removal of the mask from the central corpse the exclamation was unanimous that this was tbe body of a King, and it was observed that tbe eyes were open and staring, as Homer describes inose of Agamemnon, in horror at tne assassination of himself and the other guests. For long year the theaters reproduced tbe tragedy, and the people never tired of It. Concluding bis lecture. Mr. Parsons asked him ee If why he shpnld come to tbe United States to tell of.: these thing3, as if we were interested in things so ancient, while we are engaged in developing the new country. His reply was that eigh: yesrs ago we celebrated our Centennial acd looked back one hundred years to the date of our birth as a nation. These matters of tbe unification of a history of thirty centuries ptu and gone constitute the Story of the fiist republican form of government that of ancient Greece, whose capital was Athens.
