A Belle of Indian Barbarism Expenses Ettlmated for the Department of Justice Other Washington News. Special to the Sentinel. "Washington, D. C, Aur. Indiana people in Washington have watched with considerable interest the outcome of the late conspiracy trial. While there may liave been diöerent opions as to the guilt or innocence ot some of the accused, there is but one opinion with regard to the guilt or innocence of the presiding judge. He haa been partizin from the beginning, and his charge just 'received here to-day la the Bum of all judicial outrage. Many persons say that whatever may have been the conduct of the defendants last November, it has been more than condoned by the con duct of the judge on the bench, who, forgetting his position, tamed his court into an ofüce for the prosecution euch as will mate the skeleton fingers of Je tinea in his ccfcn rustle together for toy. To av Dotbinz of the fact at this time tbat Eitce Indiana was admitted into the TJnion has partizassbip been never so wantonly promulgited from the bench, it la to be noted, mat 1 a all the trials in Indiana's capital, the opponents of De- . mocracy who have been indicted m the Federal Court for crimes growing out of political offenses are few. I recall now bat CDe. There may have been more. It is well known in Indianapolis that since 1S59, when CoL Drake was counted out for Auditor there has not been an honett election when Republicans had the OP' TortUDity to be dishonest. In 18;0, wnen the ballot boxes were taken to the jail and DeiLOcratic tickets taken out and KepublP can tickets substituted for them, and in when Massachusetts soldiers amused themselves by knocking down Democrats, and voting; early and often themselves, and encouraging minors, sods of prominent citizens, to do the same, Republicans had their own way and no Court was ready to mate them afraid, ham my uack was counted cut tor Treasurer, John Fishback was counted out for Mavor. Dan Lemon counted cut, other Democrats counted out scores of times, and no Federal Judge rased a Grand Jury for not returning indiclments. I am Let alluding to these bygone out rages to excuse the conduct cf any wrong deer, but with such a record of crime re lated year after year; is it any wonder, when Republican juCges stand idJy by, view thtra with calm, pass them over with out action, tbat in a case like the one j ast elf sre d, that people awaken to the fact teat in the United Statts Supreme Court there is punishment for only one clase of cEerjEcs against the purity of the ballot box, and to that dsns belong Democrats? Republicans go 'scot free" in common parlatce; the jail, stripes, ignominy and cjFzrace for Democrats alone. Wbf n such unfairncsiis exhibited fed eral judges need not be surprised if the pecpJe refuse to listen to their partizan fcaiaacyts, and jurors refose to return verdicts in answer to partizan jnry speeches lrom lue Denen. Judge Woods is a lawyer, presumed to be a ccod one, and no one knows better iban himself, that such a charge as he delivered in the conspiracy trials, had he been setting as a trial Judge in the Uarion Criminal Court, would not have stood long enough on appeal to the Sa preme Court of our State, tc be knocked down. He would not,for his own judicial reputation, have dared to deliver such a charge, and he knows that fact as well as anyoEe can know it. Had there been an appeal in the case just tried, the judicial ermine would not have been soiled by such a sreech, for it was not a charge, but a Fpech for the prosecution as able and strorg as any made. "Why he chose to blast his reputation for fairness he can best answer for himself. He knows, or ouht to know, that when a Judge ceases to be a Judge end becomes a public prosecut his ittlnence for good is gone; unfort alely his influence for evil remains. W people once know that do party sc the or. 10 which the Judge belongs have fair treatment in hi3 Court ref pect due to his position is forfeite lie h&s no one to blame but himself. To take such an unfair advantage position because there 13 no appeal is cowardly and tyrannical. Such conduct merits contempt, nay, anore, it merits impeachment. In alludiBg to the psrttan pect of the case, ana apeakicg ot tije eu-cv vf a con viction should Fallivan be found guilty. Judge "Woods makes the lowest partisan appeal to the Democrats on the juryk and says: "I think there Is evidence enonsh tafore this jury as to the control of affairs at the court house to enable jou to know that there is a Board cf Democratic Commis sioners over there and if SaliWan loses his cüice it would eo into Democratic hands. liut that is not a proper consideration for cs ore wey or the other. If Mr. Sullivan is tot guity he should hold his oflice and it does not necessarily follow that he shall Io?e his office even if he is guljty. Bead that gam and think of it. citizen of Indiana! What is it but a plea to the Democrats in the jury to join with their Republican brethren and find a verdict of guilty, because they will thereby surrender no partisan advantage? Vhat is It bat an implied promise that if they will find Saluvan gnuty ( be takes it lor granted ltepubiicans will so find), he will see that they lese nothing, but simply inflict a fine, as he did upon I'erk'ns, without imprison ment, nesays: "rue punishments prescribed by the statute, under which this prosecution is based, are within the con trol of the court within certain limltatiors." The question will naturally arise if the jury and himself had nothiDg to do with the partisan e?pect of the case, why Jt was neces-ary to allude to it and tell the iurors tbat Democrats would come to no lann in Marion County as Democrats by a verdict of guilty? It will not do; he can not essape the net he has spread. He did not spread it for himself, bus, nevertheless, ne is caught in it. In effect Judge Woods' charge is this Gfntlemen, Democrats of the jury, you need have no fears of losing the clerk's office in Marion Connty if yon find John Sullivan guilty. Yoa have the County Commissioners, and if I conclude to send him to the penitentiary vou can have an. other Democrat in his place; and I am not sure any how that I will send him north. I may conclude, Democratic jurors, to let him off with a fine as I did Perkins, In that event no harm is done to your party organization." Can partisanship sink lower ? Is it possible lor a judge to make a baser appeal to the partisan instincts of men who are solemnly sworn to try a case according to the law and the testimony ? The crimes ot the accused become insignificant in view of tuen a specta In modern political trials is it possible to find an tppeal so low as this ? Thick of such aa appetf falling from the Hps of ili" Lean, Davis, Huntington, Dayid JiCDos&id, WhJa Orsifcam,

men who have shed - lustre on (he Federal bench in Indiana in days gone by. Suck a thought is almost daring, for such a tbirg would have been impossible In any of the above named.

In thus be egiDg Democrats to find a ver dict of guilty because they will sustain no party loss. Judge Woods has placed himttlf in a position not to be envied. It is to be bored tbat if he again essays the tfttk of prospecting, he will ne more guarded In his lassuae, because ansa artisan charges will ba but sorry orna ments in the peges of the law reviews. An Interesting Relic of Indian Barbarism Kecelved at Was hing to a. "Washington. An?. 3 A curious and in teresting relic of Indian basbarism was received at the War Department a few dais 820. It consisted cf a necklace of human fingers . Originally there were eleven fingers strung together after the manner of necklaces or bears claws, but thne had been lost. This ghastly adornment was captured in an attack upon the Cbevennes in 1876, and each ringer represented a life taken by the owner, the big medicine man of the tribe. The fingers had been preserved by opening the skin, removing tbe bones, scraping away alt tlie tissues and fatt? substances, replacing the bones and tub;cting the skia to soma tanning process. The necklace was sent to Westpoint by Capt. Bourke, who is now engaged in preparing some historical mat ter relating to the Indians. It was broniht from Waet Point Here in order that it might be reproduced in paper mache at the Smithsonian Institute. The scientists of that institution are quite en thusiastic over it, regarding It as a precious specimen of the barbarous habits of the Indians, who are now fast disappearing. War department officials, however, looked upon it with disgust whenever they were able to snrcmon ud sufficient hardihood to take a peep at it. Shot by a Woman. New Yoke. August 3. Col. Lafayette L. Demming, aged 50, was 6hot and slightly wounded In the right breast by Mrs. Ellen Harvey, a professional nurse, 23 yeara old, on the thiid floor of an elegant privata boarding house, No. 9 West 21st street, about tve o'clock this afternoon. The woman gave herself into custody, but the Colonel refused to identify her as his as sailant, or to make any charges against her. Col. Demming is a member of the Garham Manufacturing. Co., his family is out of towD, and instetd of living at his house, So. 5C8 t ifth avenue, he boarded at the p'ace named. He stated that the woman, Harvey, he knew as one separated from her husband. The husband. Col. Demming eaid, had with tbe wife tried to blackmail him out of $20,0"0. Saa had, he said, received funds from him but two weeks ago, when be shut down on sup plies. The Colonel's wound is slight. An Attempt to Blow Up a Steamer, New York. August 3. rSpscial.! A crezy Irishman whose natno the police have not disclosed, tried to burn uo the British Ocean steamer, "Queen" of the National Line this afternoon. Ha rowed up in a small boat alongside the "Quaea" and threw a bottle containing some kind of explosive on board. An explosion followed which set fire to the steamer. Toe llanies, however, were soon extinguished. The polica went la pursuit ot the fellow in a row boat He had put out for ths J ersey shore, but they captured him i?fore he succeeded in making a laidin and brought him to the police headquarters. He sUd he was one cf a band ot men who nil atiecied an organization having for its chief ooject tbe destruction with explosives of every vessel carrying the British tlajj. Had His Eye Jerked Oat.

On the farm is a dinner-bell on top of a pole with a wire hanging down, by which the bell is rung. The lower end of the wire is bent in the shape cf a hook. Last evening young Sol omon was hurriedly passing the bell-post, when the hook on the wire caught in his right eve and jerked it out, tearing the eyelid open. He will probably lose the eye.

A.n extra Tost Dis patch printed late this afternoon has a dis patch from Block Island, in Long Island sound which states that P. W. Fountleroy, one of the attorneys of Hugh M. Brooks, alias Maxwell, presented to-day, the case of his client to Chief Justice Walte, of the United States Sc preme Court, who is stoppicg at the Ocean view hotel there, and obtained from him a writ of error in the case. The effect of this order will be to bring the case of the little chloroformer before the Supreme court for hearing on constitutional points, and will a:t as a saEersedess and defer the execution of rook's which was set for the 2G:h of this month. The Kei tacky Klecttoo. LoriflviLLE, Augmt 4 The CourierJournal has reports from 74 counties out of 119. These cast 77 per cent, of the entire vote of the 8tate in 1SS I when Cleveland's majority was 34.830. In these counties tbe reduction of Cleveland's vote has been 9,228. Applying the same estimate to the remaining counties the total reduction in Buckner's vot will be 11,933 This will leave a Democratic majority ef 24 851. The returns duriDg the pnst twenty-four hours show that the Republicans do not maintain their previous gains. Cheating Immigrants WAsmsGTOir, Aug.

Insured for S00. A Tafayette Marder. Lafayette, August 4 Special. Daniel Drew, a notorious character, was arrested this morning at 3 o'clock by Officer Hasty for committing a terrible deed of blood. Last night John Mackessy, fireman at the pump house, called on Drew. Mrs. Drew was present end a friendly chat ensued. Beir was proposed and all drank heavily. Between It and 12 o'clock Drew became eDreged at something, seized a shovel and struck his wife on tbe head. Mackessy Intel ferred and Drew turned bis attention to him, striking him a terrible blow on the head. Tbe blood splattered against the ceiling and Mackessy sank to the floor. Regaining bis feet he grappled with Drew and a fierce struggle ensued. Mackessy broke away and staggered out doors. Drew followed and struck him again with a hatchet, slashing the 1 blood against the outer Wills, &a,ae;57 walked 9 few et,epi ftud

fell. Drew renewed the assault and used" the hatchet on the fallen man with deadly effect. . Leaving his victim lying unconscious in a pool of blood, he marned tothehoase and pounded his wife into insensibilitywith tbe seme weapon. Satiated and' partially sobered by the deed he fled. The terrible deed vrr a not discovered until 1 o'clock this morning, and the au thoiities were notified. Drew returned to his home at 3 o'clock to Sre if his work was completed, and was arrestfd by ofhcer Hasty, who was lvicg in wait for him. He was taken to jail, where he admitted his hellish deed, but gave no reason for its commission. Mackessy was removed to his homej where he died at 3 o'clock. He was unconscious to the last and could give no version of the affair. Ue was an inoffensive man and is the victim of a drunken demon. Jost before going to Drew's house he bad $15 in his pocket, but when found only had 10 cents. Drew was searched but only a little change was found on hioa, though he may havo secreted the money. Mrs. Drew was terribly beaten about the head and presented a ghastly sight. 8-he was removed to tbe hospital and will probably recover. She would Bay nothing about the tragedy,and claims to know nothing about it. She and Drew have quarreled frequently, and he has neaxly ended- her lile several times. That he has net is a general surprise. The Drews live in a hovel, and tha inte rdor is ghastly beyond description. Poverty is bathed n blood, and the tins of want and carcase exist on eveiy hand. Drew was a brave soldier, and won a Captain's straps in the Thirty-fifth Indiana while fighting hand to hand pith the enemy in the trenches. At one time he wes a wealthy saloon-keeper and a power in politics, but drink has dragged him down to a felon's cell. Lafayktte, Acgust4 .Special. Daniel Drtw, who was arrested here this morning fcr the murder of John Mack say, was arraigned before Justice Witstach this evenlrg for a preliminary hearing. Just as he approached tbe Justice's office I'd. Mackespy, son of the murdered man, attempted to shoot him, bat was foiled by cfiicer Johnson. Drew entered a plea of not guilty. His &ix-jcar old daughter testified that he had struck Mackessy who was lying on the bed, with a hatchet. The line of the defence will be criminal intimacy between Macke?sy and Trpw's wife. The preliminary will be completed to-mor-10W.

Iler 100th Birthday. Wabash, August 4. Special. Grandma Tyer, tbe oldest person in tha Wabash Valley, to day celebrated her one hundreth birthpay. Relatives wera present from different parts of the South and several places in Indiana. Mrs. Tyer was born in Sussex county, Delaware, of Eaelish ancestors, and came to Indiana in IS J J. aaahn in Richmond. Mr. Keeve'a Proportion. Miami County Sentinel.1 The novel but serious question is raised by C. H. Reeve, of Plymouth, in a letter to the Indianapolis Sentinel regarding the legality oi tha recent appraisament ot railread property by the State B mrd of Equalization. Mr. Reeve Is of the opinion that coccedicg tbe legality of the election of Lieutenant Governor R)bertson, that offici could not leg illy as-iuma his position until the second Monday in January, 18S1), as the constitution expressly provide i tbat the term shall begin every f ar years on that date. As Robertson nctel as chairman of the State Board of Equalization, on the assumption that he is now Lieutenant Governor, If he is rot, the action of the board 13 illegal. The Supreme Court has repeatedly decided that the law must be strictly ooserved in laying a cloud oi property which is the effect of an appraisement and tax levy. Walker Held as Green's Accessory. Delphi, Axis. 4. Special. The preliminary trial of Wm. Walker as an accessory with Amer Green in the murder of Luella Mabbitt closed to-day. More important testimony against Green was the leading feature cf the day's proceedings, and sufficient evidence was elicited to warrant the detention of Walker as an accomplice. He was bound over to court in the sum of $5,000 in default of which he was returned to the jail. There is little probability of his securing bond. Before the begicning of this trial it wa3 thought that the evidence against the principal, Greene, would be too trilling for Berious consideration by the courts, but a line of evidence has been brouzht out to clearly establish the murder of Miss Mabbitt and show Green's connection wtth. the crime. The Drouth In Idlasa. La Porte, Aug. 3. Special. The Ion? continued drouth is a very serious matter to the farmers of th:s county. No rain to amount to anything has fallen here'for about two months, and allgroffiog crops are fast drying up. Corn and late potatoes are the gratest sufferers and the former, where planted in sandysoil, will not amount to anyhing except fcr fodder. The pickle cropwhtch is of great importance in this locaity, will be a failure unless rain soon comes. Pastures are about scorched and In some places the farmers willhave to feed their cattle hay. 2CO.00O Worth of Property Gone. Evaksvii le, Aug. 3 At 1 a. m. a large fire is raging in the lower part of the city. Armstrong &. Heilz's extensive lumber ysrds are burning. Armstrong's furniture factory and C. Iteitz's saw-mill are in danger. The tire is too distant for further particulars. Loss so far must be at least $20,COO; insurance not known. L.ATEB, At 3 a. m. twenty acres of lumber were in ruins. Tbe water supnly was wholly insufficient. The loss may reach half a million. Before the flames were subdued they destroyed the lumber yard of the Armstrong Company, and some 2,000 000 feet oj lumber. Armstrong's saw mill, stables ard two dwellings and the lumber yar 1 oj John A. Keitz & Sod, including some 5,000,000 feet of lumber, fifteen cars of grain on the Peoria, Decatur and Evansville railroad, and a large warehouse containing tobacco, grain and general merchandise. The total loss is estimated at $250,000, on which there ia about $100,000 insurance. Most of the lumber was seasoned walnut, ash and oak. Armstrong's factory was i aved with gieat difficulty. The fire is believed to have been of incendiary origin. There was no loss on tobacco. Armstrong carried $5,000 insurance, and Reitz only $15,000. Armstrong'a insurance, other than that on lumber, is in mutual companies. There was only $3,000 insurance on the twelve cars of grain burned including the grain in the round house. Th Laella Mabbitt Casa Again. Delhii, Aug. 3. Special. The Luella Mabbitt abduction-murder case has broken out afresh. William Walker has been arretted as an accessory to the murder of LuelJa Mabbitt, and the preliminary examination Is now being held. What the coroner of Tippecanoe county pronounced the remains of Luella Msbbitt were found in the Wabash river below Lafayette last winter. The Indiana Dental Association in Ecesion at Lake Maxlnkuckee recently, after examining a caste of the teeth and jaws, pronounced them as belorging to a male over fifty years of age. This gives rise to a doubt, and it was generally believed that no case could be made out against Amer Green. To-day, however. Coroner Mofflt, Tippefcanoe County, testified that when the body was found the gecital organs were s) well preserved aa to establish beyond -question that the remain wf-ra those of a woman. This tostimcty created an immense sensation. Teopie are now rejoicing over the fact that the dead br.dy has been proven, and that Amer Green will hart to staud trial for iauxtt?rl4
