Harper cried, like a child for several minutes. Mrs. Harper and the F arty returned to Cincinnati this evening, t is understood Harper will be allowed to retain his renstache erd longhair for the present, in the expectation that he will be returned to Cincinnati to testify in the other Fidelity cases. It has not been decided as yet what will be the occupation of the prisoner, Colonel A. G. itton, a former friend of his, who is a contractor at the I risen, called to-day ard asked that he be allowed to go on his contract as a sort of a check clerk in whic h the labor is very light. There ia some question a? to whether a United States prisoner can be nsed on a State contract ; hence, nothing definite will be done fcr the present. The sentence of Harper ia enly for conErement and does not imply that he shall labor except it be from choice. XVmr Agaiuat th "White Caps." Jeffireokville, December 12. The leading citizens of Crawford County, Ind., have organized themselves into a vigilance committee for the extermination cf a notorious gang of outlaws, known as "White Caps." These lawless deparadoes have been enabled to terrify the authorities to that no officer dared to molest them, and the grand juries have positively refused to indict them, fearing their cowardly revenge. The best people have therefore banded together with the firm determination to suppress them regardless of consequences, Tne vigilantes held numerous secret meetings Saturday night, aal it la given out that they will inaugurate vigorous measures to-day. The "White Cats," with much bravado.have announced their direst retaliation for punishment iaf icted upon members of their gang. They are a very desperate class, and serious trouble ia hourly looked for. Advices from Leavenworth, the county seat, lite this afternoon, state that no disturbances have yet occurred, bnt that many people are greatly alarmed. A; Prize Ficht Broken I'p. Ha-ymobd, Ind., December 13. The pri:e fight between William Somera, of Chicigo, and an unknown from Michigan City, at Ilesaville, to-night, was indefinitely postponed by the action of Claude Kitaball, a cowboy, just from the West, who, with a 44 caliber revolver in each hand, ran amucs through the crord of a hundred (ports present. Kimball fired indiscriminately into the assemblage, arid for a few moments the saloon where the fist fight was to have taken place seamed a pandemonium. Peter Reich, th saloonkeeper, pulled a revolver on Kimball. There was an exchange of Bhots and Reich fell mortally wounded. Kimball took to the woods. He Shad been drunk and obstreperous early in the evening and was put' out of the saloon. In revenue, he fired alvoliey into the window, but no one was hnrt, and the saloon keeper treated it aa a joke. The bowboy was quieted down and put to bed. It was when everything was in readiness for the prizs fiht that he jumped wildly into the room and began shooting right and left. Boston's Municipal Election. BofcTOK, December 13. The vote polled In the Municipal election to-day aggregated 1,4 7, which is larger than any municipal vote since 1nS3. Of thia number, O'Brien, Iemocrat, the present incumbent, received 2t,;21 : Hart, .Republican and Independent, 2i,Hf, the labor vote failing to materialize. There have been several changes in the making of the Board of Aldermen, the new beard standing eight Republicans, four Democrats, being a gain of two members by the Republicans. The Common Council will stand forty-three Democrats, twenty-nine Republicans, the same as last year. The vote was in favor of license by .483 majority. Last year the majority in favor of license was 4,437. Tke following towns also voted in favor of license to-day: Lynn, COO majority; Balem, 535; New boryport, 517. Both chose Republican Jurors.

A Wonderful canine A Ked-Sanded An--architt Dog-Hi Eccentiicilies and Hatred of Law Kulasy. (Written for the Sentinel . ) (Copyright.) "I never had a sweet gazelle." This is not iuterted merely as a quotation from a well-known pcem of rather sceptical tendencies; it is an honest statement of plain truth. And the truth some of it must not be suppressed. When I can tell the truth without committing myself or criminatiDg any of my neighbors, lam going to tell it, even if there is no one srouad to hear it. Sometimes it i3 the wisest a.d safest course to seletc just that sort of an andience before nnbnrdenicg one's self ut a hold-full cf truth and a deck-load cf migtigating circumstances. Bat in Ibis case, as n one has complained of having lost any sweet gazelles, either by stain pa ilDg or by the ctacge of brand, I deem it my duty to assert once more that I nvr had a sweet gazelle to glad me with IU m'.i black eve. I did own, dnricg the years cf my hiyhocd. at various times, a startling collestion of nnpedigreed dogs, that would gladly have given a black eye to any sweet gezelle that might have wandered Into our section of the wilderness, but dogs don't count in the sum of human wealth, save among boys. And yet I believe that my dogs were my only successful ventures. They never cost me anything bsyond the natural impulses of a warm, loving heart that went out to every homeless or unloved dog that somebody wanted to get rid of end nobody else would have. I have no doubt that if ever I had had a sweet gazelle, it would have got up and died in the fourth line of the first stat za in the most approved and gazelle-lite fashion. My s;.ster Mary had a little lambcnce, and it died, with seme professional assistance from the emeritus professor of etbical butchery au d i sjchical sausage handling in our to vn, and mighty good chops we got out ot it, too. Yon r ever half appreciate a lamb until it is dead. Bat I wander. I scy I never lost anything on my dog. They were rot tweet like a gazelle. Aa ccntraire, they were quite altogether t otner, tspeciahy on rainy days. lias taey were brave, atd fought everything la Peoria Coucty that wore hair an 1 had ua ear long enonh to catch on to. They were vigilant, aod hot only so, but they kept everybody else in the neighborhood villan. I had one Ion necked, imported Dutch deg, I didn't import Mm myself ; I only coaied him away f.o u wagon of tbe man who did. Ue on? of those long, low, rakish dogs, drawing about four teen incbes forward and eight and a half aft, so that he always Eteered uneasilv. He wrs about four feet long, I should judge, and hen he was standing still he looked like a stick of cordwood on stove lez3. WLea he stood up on his hind legs h could eesily look in at a second story window. When he got down on all fours, h3 could just as easily walk under a board sidewalk. lie used :o suck his head around the corner of the street, srd growl, and make faces, and provoke some strange dog from Radnor or Kickapco to anger. Then he would run himself out on the Y. back down on the siding, and switch himself on the mein line already for a collision, but by that time, unless the strange dj became utterly paralyzed with fright and amszement. be either got his orders by signal and rnn wild till he dropped dead, or el.-e lay down in the dust, confessed everything, and threw himself on the mercy of the court. He dug a hole under tne fence, so that be could He nnietlv and peacefully in our yard, and bark under our neighbor s windows, This led to tunny misunderstandings. He was so Ion? tht when you spoke kiodlv to him, his bread, honest faca" woaM light up with a graceful ioy nearly two minutes before the emotion got far enough aft to wag his tail. I don t think the other members of my father's family appreciated the Dutch dog's mmy psrBonal traits as I did. He took up so much of their time. You see if yoa glanced n? jost as he was passing a window, and onl? nis body was in your line of sight, you ha J to wait until one end or the other came in view before you knew whether the dog wss standing cut to sea, or backing ia to the dock. A traveler, who once cime to Peoria from far-aa ay Boston, said he wai adocKsnned. Bo we called hint "Doc: it was a good name for him, because he was fond of giving us bark and whine, and alway s carried a great deal of canine about witn him. This is not very imperuvian reading, but it is a great deal better than some very much worse things I have writ ten. He was a long-lived dog. Dath came very near to him several times, but didn't know at which end to begin. But at last the poor dog died one morn inn like a snake, head lirst, and his tail ceased to wag when the tun went down, we snaked him out to a cornfield and buried him lengthwise in a land-furrow. He was a strarge-tempered dog, that seemed always to take a m or did but solemn pleasure in hia own elongation, and he impressed you with tbe conviction that in a former sphere of existecce, he had been an eminently re spectable fco tea an in a wealthy family. One dog. with whom I was in business for nearly two years, was a red-handed An archist. He had a short, haughty upper up, ana a wuneriDg expression. He used to go out on the sidewalk, when the skies were faint in tne West with opaline tints, and the soft gray shadows of the gloaming announced the vesper hour.and there he would stind, wrsprwd in thought, and smile to see the villagers wade serosa the broad and dastv street to the farther Bhore, when they made Vim out. As loDg as he and I were partners, I never knew him to bite a human being, except myself, but he al ways looked as though be was thinking about it, and bad mstroade up his mind to tear the vital organism out of th next living creature that came along, and this keptour pleasant little community on a tension of anxiety and vague, uncertain fear that was terrible. His colors were iL. red goods of black and brown, arranged .In irregular tigerish stripes, and he had a good place for a tall, but that was all. think he traveled largely on his shape. He came to me the gift of a colored man, a deck hand on the am.Graty, who brought him from Et. Louis shortly before the long, narrow-gauge Dutch dog died. In fact, one of the last acts of the Dutch dog was. to teach the Anarchist some tense. The Anarchist came suddenly udou the rear guard of Dutch dog one day. and. re laxing his hauty demeanor for the nonce. fell upon it, and began to destroy it, when the long dog, becoming aware of a disturb ance somewhere down the lane, countermarched, and coming rapidly down his own flank, fell upon tha Anarchist with furious energy and smote him hip and thigh, it is out justice to tha Anarch ist to say that .he waa sadly ham pered from the outset, thinking that be was fighting two does. and was thus unable to concentrate hi a

orces. Enthe wasabadly walpped'dog,

and ever afterward he Bought to Ifjt'e terror rather than by presenting a stroö? front, hideous with suggestions ot masked batteries, a splendid reserve line and hanks beevily curtained with cavalry. It was magnificent, but it was not war. It was better. It was bloodless, triumphant aud hororable peace. Thare wasn't a man or deg in Peoria but feared him. He was on eood terms witu tne boys, but they a. ways treated him witö profonn t respect. never took any liberties witn mm, ana always ssemfd more at eass at our home when the Anarchist was out making cüls. He made a a treat many calls, and he always got what be called for. tie never called twice aim, and hs never tipped the waiter, too. He didn't have to. He wss a born hater ot law and govern ment. He never wanted what you gve biro. If I brought him boiled rice and beef, he sneered at it so terribly I wis frishteced. If 1 cave him a bone next day, begrowlfd for tice and boiled beef. If lettered him both, he wanted only brown bread and gravy. He never ate what you gave him. He always slept in one particular place, when firat he came to beard with us. I built him a kennel on that very spot, and ever after he slept in the wood-shed. Once let him know what you wanted him to do, and he wouldn't . . . j-, , . . i - i- i CO lt. jne aay, jusi iu see uow wucu pluck be bad, I set him on a peddler, lie turned around, bit me twice in the same leg and I bad only two at that timesmiled on the peddler reassuringly, wagged the place where his tail should have been, and went away to make a few calls, leaving n.e to the tender mercies of the indignant pddler. I have no doubt this perversity pro on sea the Anarcnist'B life. He was not popaUr in the neighborhood few of my dogs were, in fact and sometimes, when mornkg dawned, we would find in the yard, near by the Anarchist's sle?ping-place, a nice, Invitlrg piece ot mf at mat had not been ordered, but had evidently bpen left as a present ny some tinaiy aispossa friend. Bnt "Friendship's OtleringV' bad no gross, earthy cbarms for the Anarchist. He accepted the homage and the tribute, but he wasn't a god of human clay to coma down from his pedestal and eat the offer ings on the altar. He used to smell the votive offering suspiciously, and turn away disdainfully. Then during the day, some neighbor s dog would come sneaking into the yard, grab up the meat with guilty haste, bolt it on the rnn, and in half aa hour, by that mysterious telegraphy In use among wild Indians and boys, the word would be passed around that "S30nso s dogs a-dyin' pisened!" And the growing cluster of excited boys, perched in safe placpfl on fence and wood shed, would indicate the place if the tragedy. I was vtry fond of the Anarchist, bat Fate wrote his d-jem id glowing letters of yellow end crimson and blue upon the barn doors and fences. Tbe circus pictures pronounced separation between us. Four boys be passed Into the circus, and when we came out I cast a guUty, heavy-hearted look erouid, and saw the AnarchL-t chained to tbe forward wheel of the ticket wagon, a nobler, fiercer looking brute than the oak-tanned lion in the cage. He si me, and his reproachful glauce hsunted me for many days. Bat I comforted myself thinking how happy I would be with a circus, ad surely the Anarchist's lot would be a hippy one. I always like to see a boy with a do. a gocd, honest, faithful, loving dog. Taey are natural companions; they understand eech other. A good boy, who knows how to trke cara of a deg should have on if hs wants one. But a boy who will make a harness for a dog, and compel the honest brute to haul him around in a wagon de serves to be put on the tresdmill for six weeks. A dog, this tide of Esquimau land, isn't a beast of burden. So allmydcgg have passed away, an I questioning, thumping tail like maillid b'ows of threshing flil, no more they thump upon my floor their tatoo as in dys of yore. My daily walks no more they cneer. with yelping voices snarp and clear; r.o more for me, frcrn morn till night, they scratch for rats or loin the fiiht; no more, when pausing in the cbae, we stop to eat and rest a space, do they when we sit down to dine, eat all their own, and most of mine; at golden eve and rosy dawn, I mis3 them all my dogs are gone. Robert J. Bckdette. A Stoiy of Theodora 1'arker. Eoston Transcript, A story cf Theodore Parker, which the listener oelievfls has never been in print, told nioi by a venerable gentleman prom inent in frie religious circles: "Many years ago," said the narrator of tne incident, "about tbe time when 1'arker began to preach in Music Hall, I was called upon one day by a Yankee sailor, who was a good deal ol a thinker on religions rnb jects, and who took an interest, when he was in pert, in hearing the leading religious orators speak, and in visiting the places where free thought was expressed. It may seem strenge now that a common sailor should frequent the lecture rooms, but this was in a day when there were more sailors than there are now, and when the maior ity of them were of a different type from the one that prevails nowadays. Well, this sailor told me thaf he had not only been to h ear Parker, bnt bad visited him in his study the day after he bad heard the sermon. Parker was Interested in the man, and asked him what he thought of hia sermon. " 'The sermon was first rate, Mr. Par ker,' said the sailor, 'but I mdn't care so much for tbe prayer.' " 'What was there about the prayer that you d:dn t like?' asked parker. "Sow, Theodore Parker bad a way, as you may remember, of making pretty long prayers, and of embodying the Lord's Praver in them, every Sunday. He closed his prayer generally with the Lord's Prayer. bo he might have guessed what the sa.lor was coming to when he answers l '"I know it was from the Bible, Mr, Parker, that sentence in your prayer that I didn't like; but I don't like it all the same.' " 'Well, what sentence was It?" " 'It was where you Drayed the Lord not to lead os into temptation. ow, do you suppose, Mr. Parker, that the Lord would lead us Into temptation r "Theodore Parker remained silent for a moment, and then said:' "No, my good man, I don't believe He would.' " 'Then,' said tbe sailor, 'I wouldn't pray to Him not to doit.' "The sailor left the great liberal. It was some weeks after the incident . that tbe sailor called upon me. I was curious to see for myself whetber he hid told the truth, and I went to hear Parker the next Bundav at Music Hall to observe whether be bad cbanged bis practice with regard to the prayer, and found that the sailor's criticism had, Indeed, made ltsj Impress ion." "Did be cease repeating the Lord's Pray er '."' asked tbe listener. 'No, bnt be repeated it with a variation Instead of saying. 'Lead us not into temptation,' he said, 'Lead us from temptation,' and be continued to use that form, I am sure, as long as he lived." 1'nrsoB' (Bonk !. Chicago, December 17. A. K.

WASHINGTON NEWS NOTES.

Railroad Land DecLion Withdrawals Bevpked Heatlne rassenger Cars'.' Washisgtos, December IG Acting" Secretary Mnldrow to-day rendered a decision in tbe case of the Alabama aad Chatanooga Railroad Company vs.NV.haniel P. Claburn, on appeal by the railroad com pany from the decision of the General Land Office. Tbe decision atnrms that of the Commissioner, and holds tht a homestead entry made in November, 1SGS, on lana included in indemnity of the grant in aid of plaintifl's road, musljbe sustained unoer ine act oi April i, lsa;, euch entry havmg been made "by permission of the .'and department." after "the exDiratlon of the grant." The act of April 21, 1S7Ü, is construed to mean that so far as concerns lands covered by entries, otherwise regular, theprior actual "expiration ot the grant," (by lapse f time) shall be deemed to have "revoked the withdrawal," even though such-"expiration" may not have been declared and insisted on as a ground of forfeiture. As to such lands, that is to eay, tbe act of 1S7G, la Itself the "legislative proceeaiDg" neeaea as tne expression of the will of Congress tnat the forfeiture be insisted on. The act cf April 10. lSCO. reviving and renewing" the erant. the acting Secretary holds, does not prevent the operation of the act of 187G, as the act oflSG'J must be taken to have been made with refererco to the state of things existing at the date of its enactment. Secretary Lamar to-day isroed an order directing tbat all lands heretofore with drawn and held for indemnity purooBes nndir the grants to the following named railroad companies ce restored to public domain and ottered to settlement and en try under the general laws, after giving the usual notice: South and North Ala bama; Florida, Atlantic ana Gulf Central. Pensaccla and Georgia, and Florida and Alabama, in Florida; Burlington and Missouri River; Chicaco, Rock Island and Pa cific; Cedar Rapids and Missouri River; Dubuque end Pacific, and ChiCBgo, Milwaukee and St. Paul, in Iowa; St. Joteph and Denver City, in Kanses; Grand Rspids aud Indians; Jackson. Lansing and Saginaw; Chicago and Northwestern, In Michigan; Chicago and Northwestern, in Wisconsin. While it may be presumed, says the Secretary that there is but a small amount, if any of vacant unappropriated lands within the idtnnity limits of these roads, the fact that the withdrawal s t ill remain in force render this order recissary to a final settlement cf thegrants. Secretary lairchud has taken adverse action on a proposition to allow the Assist ant Tieesnrer at LLic3go to become a mem ber of the CleariDg House Association. Similar action was previously taken in the case of the Assistant Treasurer at St. Lonia. The only Treasury cllicial who is a mem ber of a Clearing House Association is the Assistant Treasurer cf New York, anl the department is not inclined to increase the number. Arrangements are now beir made nt the Treasury Department for tbe payment on January 1, next, cf $3,414.670 interest on United Si&tes bonds and Pacific railroad bonds. This is in addition to $S4S,452 interest, which would have fallen due that date, but which has been prepaid with rebate, under the terms of Department circular No. !0. In answer to a resolution adopted by the Home at the clo.eof the last session, the Secretary of tbe Treasury to day sent to that body a communication embodying the result of the inquiry made by the Supervising Inspector-General of Steam Vessels into the methods of constructing and heating passenger cars and steamboats, so as to prevent loss of life and property by fire. The Secretary says that a circular was sent out m February last inviting suggestions from car-builders and persons competent to give information on the subject. Two hundred and Bixteen answers were received, which were classified 83 follows: Twenty-eight contemplated heatiDg cars by steam from the locomotive, 12 heating by hot air from the locomotive, 2;J heating by heat from an independent car. -i heating and lighting by electricity, 51 heating by improved heaters or stoves in cars, 8 prevention of disaster by fire by means of specially constructed safety cars; 1 heaun and lighting by gas, ai-d 81 miscellaneous. The Supervising Inspector-General reporta'tbat tBany of the plans presented are, in his judgment, iheoxetlcally adopted to reduce to the minimum the danger of loss of life end property by fire on railroad cars, yet he is not prepared to Eay absolutely tbbt they are practically so, for the reason that no provision was made in the resolu'icn of Ccrgrcss for the expenses that would nt csssanly be Incurred in the conduct of practical xperiments. The C!erk cf the Koas9 has cennleted and laid bpfore tbat body an indsx of Southern claims referred to the Coirt Claims under the Bowman act. The total numter of claims rereported to Coogres?. is 22,204, which includes the allowed, disallowed and barred cases, involving tbe sum of $00,253.150, of which amount the sum of $1,030,020 was allowed. Comptroller Trenholm, ex-ofiicio Commissioner of the Freednian's Stviogs and Trust Company, to-day submitted to the Hoiue of Representatives his annual report upon that trust, showing a balance on hand December 3. of $ü,191. The report says that under sections 1 anl 2 of the act cf February 17, 1SS3, there are still due 1,403 claims, amounting to $7 374, and not paid because no demand has been made and the whereabouts of the claimants are unknown. The available assets, estimated at 13.S17, are considered sufficient for the payment of these claims whenever called for and for defraying the necessary expenses of the office. Claims to the n amber of thirty-six, requiring $721 to pay C2 per cent declared in dividends, have been presented since ths last report, making 142 claims, calling for $2 135 presented for payment since May 12, 1835, but which are barred by the act of February 21, issi. The Commissioner renews the suggestions contained in his last report concerning the payment by Corgress of tbe balance due depositors; submits the draft of a bill for tbe purpose, and quotes the recommendation that Congress discharge its plain duty in the matter. The Secretary of the Interior today transmitted to the House the report of the commissioners appointed in conjunction with the Texas'State Commission, to run the line between a portion of tbe Indian Territory and the State ot Texa. The Commleslon, through Maior Mansfield, United States Army, the eemor member, reports tbat. it baa not yet been able to effect a settlement of the controversy, the present condition of which is Eet forth in the following resolution: Resolved, That the joint Commission having done everything possible under the circumstances and being unable to proceed further with the work In hand, do now adjourn without day, and that each commission (State aad Federal) make its report to the proper authorities and await instructions. Tbe point in controversy is as to the point where the one hundredth meridian of longitude crosses Red river, in accordance 'with the treaty of 1819 between the United States and Snain. The Secretary of the Treasury has awarded a silver medal to Henry H. Everett, of Chicago, for heroic services in rescuing drowning persons during the past fewyesrs. Prohibition National Convention. Cincinnati, December 13. The Executive Committee of the Prohibition party held a meeting here to-day, at which Chairman Dickie waa instructed, in isuing the call for the Presidential Convention, which meets June C, to ask the Prohibition voters in the several States to send one delegate for every thousand members of the party in addition to the appointment fixed by tbe recent National Conference. It was decided to call the convention to

meet June 6. The convention will be organized by the delegates provided for by the National Committee. It will then be for the convention to decide upon ths question ol admitting the additional deleales, ' A RED FLAG FUNERAL,

A Socialist Buried wltli Bed Flag and Bed Decorations of the CoBio, Pioneer Pres. The red flag of tbe Anarchist had a place in a proceraion in Minneapolis yesterday for the first time in the city's history. The first genuine socialistic or anarchistic föderal ever held in the Northwest WAi held In Minneapolis yesterday. The obsequies were very quietly conducted. Fritz Kaufert, when he lived was quite a prominent and pronouaced Anarchist among his fellow Germans in the Northwest, and tha last sad rites were conducted in .accord with the dead man's expre?d desire. Lanfert died several days ego from the effects of exposure to the cold while traveling in Wisconsin. Surrounding the bier were several hundred friends of the silent Socialist. The most of them were menGermans from all parts of the city. Tne remains were laid in a common pine coffin, such as is generally chosen by the Anarchists. There was a very modest display of flowers, and there would not have been anything particularly striking about the casket if it were not for the significant red ribbons with which it was trimmed. The strange gathering was addressed by AngUEt Hirschfeldt, who spoke in German. The speaker was a close personal friend of the deceased, and his remarks were confined mainly to eulogizing the departed. He was very earnest, but made no sensational or Incendiary allusions to the doctrire which the dead brother had espoused. Fritz Gellerup, the hery young Socialist, was present. He and other leading lights in the socialistic element of the city took a potition close to the casket as it was borne to the hearse outside. They led the precession to the Maple Hill Cemetery, where the interment took place. Several persons in the procession bad small bits of red ribbon tied in the buttonholes of their coats, and one man carnad a small red flag. These were the distinguishing signs in the precession. The unusual "pageant" moved quietly and without interruption to Maple Bill. The feature of the services at the grave was an address by Mr. Gal lern p. The addrees, while quite lengthy, was remarkably free from anything of the incendiary kind. After the address tbe mourners quietly dispersed, and the first Socialistic foneial in Minneapolis was a thing of the post. SIOUX CITY'S LIQUOR WAR. A Seizure Which Very Nearly Ended in a Tragedy. Siorx City, Ia., December 17 ---Prosecutions of the "holes in the walls" cme near ending in a tragedy yesterday.
