A gxl many subscribers to Tite "Weekly JSenhnel who were delinquent at the last issue have squared up their accounts and &taud credited on our books with a year's subscription in advance. Y thank them heartily for this eidenee of their jrnxl will and of their appreciation of The Sentinel, and congratulate them upon their yood sense and wisdom in thus makini pure, for a year to come, of the weekly visits which they have come to prize so highly. " 10 thota "f our subscribers who are still delinquent we would say, with all emphasis, "Go thou and do likewise!" It has become necessary for us to adopt the cadi-in-advance system, in justice to ourselves and to our paying subhcribers. The larjre investments which we have just made in mechanical and other improvements, w hich enable us to jrlve our readers a larger and better paper than ever before, compel us to put our business on a strict business bais. The bEXTiNf.L is worth all that we charge for it. and more. This immense thect riiVd With the 'news of the state and with choice reading matter for the home and family, cots you leg than two cents and we pay the postage. We cannot continue to furnish it at this price and carry a large number of delinquent subscribers on our list. It is simply impossible. In adopting the cash-ia-advance rule discriminations can be made. This issue is the last that will be sent to subfribers who are in arrears for any amount. We are sorry to be compelled to part with axy of our old friends, but we are sure they will appreciate the circumstances, end understand that it is in no feeling of unkindness that we strike their names from the list. All w ho have not paid up fare alike, and after this issue no copy of The Indiana Sentinel w hich has not been paid for will be sent to any person, whoever or whatever he may be. One of the most important political campaigns in the history of the t-iate and of the country is about to begin. The Indiana State Sentinel w ill be in the front of the fight, as it has been in every political fight of the past half century, carrying the democratic standard proudly and defiantly. It is entitled to and f-honld receive the support of every democrat in Indiana. There is no Utter way to aid tho great democratic cause than by renewing your subscription to The Sentinel, and at the fame time inducing your friends and neighbors to subscribe. We ask our friends to do this, and we ask them with considerable confidence that they will respond handsomely to our appeal. Send in your renewals, gentlemen, and pare us the disagreeable necessity of ffriking your names from the list, and yourselves the unpleasant reflection that the leading democratic paper in Indiana no longer comes to yon because you refused to pay for it. Coy and Jlernliamer. The decision in the court of last resort having gone against Coy and Bernhamek it only remains for them to accept their punishment, unless executive clemency be interposed. If these men were really engaged in a conspiracy to falsify the results of an election, the penalty that has been visited upon them is none too severe. The integrity of the ballot-box is the safeguard of the people, and whoever tampers w ith it is a public enemy and deserves to be treated as such. The moral effect of a conviction for such 3ii olfense, however, dt'iend.s mainly upon the public belief in its justice. In the cae of Cor and Bernhameb such a belief ig not present. Most fair-minded men of all parties believe that while their innocence was not established, more than a reasonable doubt of their guilt remained lfter all the evidence was heard. Some of the methods employed to secure their conviction were extraordinary and unjustixiable. The course of the presiding judge was scandalous in the last degree. The principal testimony for the prosecution was given by a pelf-confessed, forger and perjurer, w ho would not be believed under oath by any person w ho knows him. These various circumstances rob the verdict of much of the beneficent significance tvhich wculd have attached to it had the guilt of the accused been as clearly b.OTn as is customary before convictions re hid in criminal cases not iolitical in their nature. Ingall in His True Colors. Wo punt elsewhere a telegram from Kansas City which gives some interesting facts about tho war record of Bomhada f'urhm Ingalls. It appears that while Ci.Ki.LAX and Hancock and Fitz John i'or.TEK were fighting the battles of their -ouutrry this twenty-year-after "patriot" tva running for office in Kansas on platforuis -.vhich denounced the administration of Abraham Lincoln and pronounced tlo war a failure. His associates on tfco ticket were democrats, and all the canditVC5 Ixqalls among them, were freely

stigmatized as "rebel sympathizers" and "copperheads7 by the republican press of Kansa. What a despicable figure this wretched demagogue presents in the light of these revelations! How absurd and disgusting do all his pretensions to superior loyalty and patriotism appear when measured by the standard of actual performance! The fact is that Ingalls in 1802 and 1SG4 was the same sort of a fellow that Ingalls is in ISSS a characterless political adventurer, without conscience, without convictions, without manhood ; as ready thn as now to sell himself to the highest bidder ; a loudmouthed quack and a brawling mountebank, as blatant and offensive in his advocacy qi peace at any price as he is now in his preachments of the horrid gospel of 8clional hate ; a vain, shallow, corrupt demagogue, with no principle to hamper him in his mad pursuit of office, and no scruples to arret his progress along the pathway of political dishonor which ho has been treading all these years. And th:3 is the man who presumes to arraign the democratic party of the nation for disloyalty ; w ho violates the honored graves of McClellax and Hancock, and seeks to place the stigma of faithlessness upon their cherished memories; who brands Daniel W. Yoorheks as a traitor, and tells the world that Horace Greeley was in sympathy with the rebellion! And the republicans of Kansas have formally presented this vile creature as their candidate for the presidency, w hile the re-

' puhlkans of Indiana, under the inspira1 tion of a notorious political corruption ist, ! have telegraphed him their approval of his infamous attacks upon dead heroes and living statesmen ! We feel very confident that the American people in this, year of grace 18Ä8 will not restore to power a party w hich thus deliberately insults the memories of their honored defenders by placing the seal of its approval upon the infamous utterances and the shameless methods of the slanderer of Hancock and 3IcClellan. Judge Turpio Awarded His Seat. The senate committee on privileges and elections yesterday decided, by a unanimous vote, that Judge TcariE's election was valid, and that he is entitled to his seat. The committee is composed of Messrs. Hoar, Frye, Srooxtn, Kvarts, Saclsdury, Yance, PrG.it and FrsTis. The action of the committee will of course be sustained by the senate probably without a dissenting vote. We congratulate David Ttbpie and the democracy of Indiana upon this result. Of course no other result was possil le unless partisanship was to override justice, and trample under foot all the principles and precedents of parliamentary law. But there w as no telling to what lengths the republican majority in the senate might be tempted to go in order to strengthen their very feeble hold upon the organization of that body, and therefore the democrats of Indiana and of the country, although they knew that Judge Tfrpie's title was impregnable, have not felt entirely certain that he w ould be allowed to retain his seat, o But the senator's case was ?o strong that even such bitter partisans as Hoar, Teller and Frye could find no. plausible pretext for reporting against him. The alleged irregularities upon which the protest against his admission to the senate w as based were not of a character to invalidate his election. Under the constitution of Indiana each branch of the legislature is the exclusive judge of the election and qualification of its own members; and there does not reside in any other department of the government any power to revise its judgment or to interfere with its organization. If either house abuses its power the remedy is w ith the people, and with the people alone. Parliamentary institutions rest upon the principle of the absolute and final jurisdiction of the legislature over all questions affecting its membership and organization. Judge Tcrpie could not have been denied his scat without ignoring this principle and establishing a vicious and dangerous precedent. ' Juffgllng With Justice. The decision of the lower court in the Coy-Bc rnhamer cases has been affirmed, and Coy and Berniiameb will be taken to the penitentiary at once. The trial of four other persons indicted for complicity in the crime of which they were convicted has been in progress several days, and is nearing its end. The case will probably go to the jury to-morrow. Several other persons remain under indictment for a like offense, among them Gen. James K. CARNAnAN, chairman of the republican county central committee. The case of Carnahax was tsome time since set down for trial to-morrow. An investigation made by Sentinel reporters at the office of the clerk of the U. S. court ßhows that no preparations have been made for it. Xo special venire has been ordered : no witnesses have been subpoenaed; in fact nothinghas been done to indicate that the case is to be prosecuted. The Committee of One Hundred, so far as we can learned, ha not taken a single step towards securing an effective and vigorous prosecution of Carnahax. It has c rriployed no special counsel to assist the district attorney in the case; it has made no effort to obtain evidence; in fact, its interest in the punishment of election fratuls seems to have ceased entirely w ith the conviction of two democrat and the prosecution of those now on trial. Gen. Carnahax was indicted by thc same grand jury which indicted Coy and Berxhamer. Presumably the evidence was as strong against him as against hem. Two members of the Committee of One Hundred were members of the grand jury which returned these indictments. And yet appearances seem to indicate that there is no intention of putting Carnahax on trial, and that there never has been any. If he is prosecuted nt all, which is doubtful, it w ill be with no view of effecting his conviction. Another man, indicted at the same time, as Carnah vx and Coy, is awaiting - trial.. His name is Barrows, and he ' is charged with repeating. He is a repnlIican, and he is in the employment of. the' chairman oi the Committee of One Hundred. The evidence against him is know n to be very strong. But apparently there is to be no serious effort made to convict him. The Committee of One Hundred is doing nothing to further his prosecution. His case is set down for trial, but two other cases are set for trial the same day. Of the twenty w itneses who .testified against Utu before the., grand jury, only

three have been subpoenaed for his trfak

Evidently, if there is any prosecution of Barrows at all, it w ill be a mere farce. In the name of justice, decency and fairness The Sentinel protests against this gross discrimination in the administration of justice. It protests against the. course of Judge Woods and Dist-Att'y Sellers, who, while straining every nerve to secure the punishment of democrats charged with violating the law, have used their official opportunities to shield and protect' republicans accused of tho same offense. The course they have seen fit to pursue in this business is discreditable in the last degree. A more flagrant perversion of the machinery of justice to the service of partisan and personal ends has never been witnessed than that of which these men have been guilty. Thk Sentinel believes in the just and ! equal administration of the law, regardless of private interests and political considerations. It believes that it is just as bad for ft republican as for a democrat to tamper with the ballot-box. It believes that a republican who commits an election fraud is just as deserving of punishment as a democrat. It believes that a judge who uses his position to shield his relatives and his political friends, and to destroy his political enemies is a far worse man, and a more dangerous one to the j community than the most hardened criminal upon w hom he passes sentence. Believing this, it can onby pronounce the course of Judge Woods in these election cases as infamous, and the conduct of the district attorney as reprehensible in the extreme. "Wajces and Tariffs. The fallacy that a high tariff makes high wages has not a leg to stand upon. In this country wages were relatively higher under the 'free trade tariffs' of 131d and 1857 than they are under the existing war tariff. Wages are higher in Kngland under free trade than they were under protection. They are higher there than in Germany or France or Italy, which are heavilj "protected." The Detroit Adcanre, a labor organ, has compiled from a republican campaign document a table showing the average w ages paid in Kngland and Germany in a large number of industries, which is worth the thoughtful study of every working man. Here it is: England. Gtrminy Iron miners, average per dar $ 1 17 $ 82 Coal miners, a vcr::i;e cr day 1 23 SO Itla.n furnace ker per?, jer week It 00 6 00 B!ad furnace filier, per week S 00 A 20 fuddling, per ton 1 .V) J .", Ttulling ana hearing, per ton 1 2 J 12 Iron nifdoers, per week S 40 4 UPattern makert, per week 7 0 4 ; bottle Mower 12 50 7 20 Potteries, averaire weekly wages 8 40 5 10 Shoemaker, average weekly waces.. 6 OO 3 :vt Cotton mills, average weekly waes 4M a 10 Woolen tnills, averao weekly wages 5 7t 3 8Painters,, areraze weekly wages ! 20 4 00 Bricklayers, average wevkly wages.. 10 3 60 Carpenters, average weekly wagfs... 10 .V) 4 00 Lalrers, arerace weekly wace 4 10 '2 90 Blacksmiths, averaxc weekly wapes. 7 f0 3 H5 Horseshocrs, average eekly ages. 7 00 jm Butchers, average weekly wage 7 00 3 dt Farm hands, average weekly wat'es 3 00 2 & Railway engineers, average weekly wases 11 00 $ 35 Railway firemen, average weekly wag-s 5 .'0 3 .10 The advantages which the workingmen of free trade England possess over the workingmen of protected Germany in the matter of wages are emphasized by the fact that money will buy more of the necessaries and comforts of life in the former country than in the latter. The Advance very correctly attributes the high wages paid in the United States to the abundance of cheap land, and declares that when land becomes scarce and dear here, as it is in older and more densely populated countries, wages will tend to the European standard. Protection does nothing for the workingman. It can do nothing for him so long as free trade prevails in labor. Protection increases the profits of capital, but it does not increase the wages of labor. The lessons of all history and all experience, no less than the logic of political economy, attest this fact. Dangerous Doctrine. The decision of the supreme court in the Coy-Bernhamer cases will surprise no person who has studied the tendencies of that court during the last few years. These have all been in the direction of consolidation, and away from the doctrines of the integrity of the states and the strict limitations of federal power which were held by the fathers of the constitution. If the court should keep on during the next twenty years as it has during tho past twenty years, enlarging the sphere of federal action, and circumscribing the functions of the states, the states, as distinct political entities, would cease to exist.' It is to that result that the doctrines of centralization, which are laid down in so many of the latter-day decisions of the court, inevitably tend. . The decision in the Coy-Bernhamer case, if .we interpret it aright, means that the federal authorities may interfere in matters that concern purely . and exclusively the people of a single state. The federal courts may punish for conspiracy, when the thing conspired to be done can have no possible bearing upon, or relation to, any federal interest. This is a very startling and a very dangerous doctrine, if it is not an entirely new one. Followed to its logical conclusion, it means the wiping out of state lines and the consolidation of all authority at Washington. Of course all intelligent people will understand that the decision of the supreme court docs not in any way touch the question of the guilt or innocence of Coy and Ber.vhamer. The case wanot before the court on its merits. The issue presented was purely that of jurisdiction. Fon the benefit of our esteemed contemporary, the Terrc Haute Gazette, we will say that The Sentinel knew w hat it was talking about when it asserted that Jon x Jamfs Ingalls is the tool of Jay Gould, and that he is kept in the U. S. senate to do Gould's dirt v work. The editor of The Sentinel has some little knowledge of Kansas politics, and he also has some knowledge, frbm personal observation at Washington, of the part Ingalls regularly plays in the U. S. senate. The Sentinel measured its words carefully when it referred to Ixti all .as the tool of Jay Gould, and it has the best of reasons for believing his bloody shirt crusade is only one step in a programme of political agitation devised in the interest of Gould, and other public enemies who make common cause with him. ' TO DELINQUENT SUBSCRIBERS The Indiana State Sentinel will not be fecntto anyone who is in arrears after this issue. "A word to the wise," etc. - ' .

Two Sections of a Freight Crash Together and Xnphthä Sets the Powder Off. Fountain, Col., May 14. A most horrihle railway catastrophe occurred here at 2:45 this rnorninsphich hns no parallel in the history of the state. At 2:31 the north bound "Thunderbolt'' 6toppeil at f.ie station for orders, the had barely come to a standstill when a cahoose and four loaded freight cars which had brokeu away from a through freight at Colorado Springs, thirteen miles away, came dashing down the long grade at lightning speed, crash ing into the express and piling the cahoose and nrst car 111 rums on top of the engine and baggage car. The car next to th; caboose was a hugö tank of naphtha wluch,(in being wrecked, scattered oil over the depot, cars and adjoining buildings, which raujrht fire and in an instant everything was in fi.unes. The engineer managed to escape without int'ury, but the li renin n was trtick by flying tinierand seriouMly injured. The Fulliiinn and two day coaches of pa.s-ngers were hastily detached from the burning baggage car and run down the track to a safe distance from the tire, which had 'now enveloped the depot and was rapidly aperoahing the last car of the Tunaway freight, when the alarm was given that this rar was loaded with powder and for every one to run for their lives. All who heard the warning attempted to obey, but hr.d gone but a short distanre when the 17,000 pounds of giant powder with which the ear was loaded, exploded, shaking the earth as though an .earthquake. The report was distinctly hoard in l'ueblo, twenty miles away, and the houses in this city shook as from an earthquake. r The scene iJtcr the explosion is hcyond description, as every on of the twenty hones in the city is alhiost totally destroyed, together with the new baptist church, which was blown from its foundation and scattered over acres of ground. Men, women and children wore knocked senseless, mid pieces of broken rails, car wheels and timhers were carried with terrific force for half a mile. Itails wen: torn from the track, carried UiO yards and then driven three feet into the ground, while a number of freicrht cars standing on the side track were blown to atoms. The passengers in the "Thunderbolt" were severely shaken up, and a number were cut hy pieces of glass from the windows, hut none seriously. The yard of the Newton lumber company took fire and was completely destroyed. People, standing a quarter of a mile from the explosion were hit by flying fragments and badly wounded. Immediately sifter the accident wrecking trains, with physicians, started to the s-ene to clear away the debris and care for the deadatid wounded, m hich now number live dead and thirty more or less injured. The dead are as follows: C.F. SMITH, manager of the Newton Lumber Co. He was trying to extinguish the flames at the depot when the explosion occurred, lie was badly wounded, a piece of iron being blown through his body, making a whole two inches in (liamctf r. He died an hour later. The burned remains of an unknown man fonnd underneath the engine after the fire was extinguished. An unknown railroad man, traveling on a Chicago, Burlington ic Quincy pass, light complexion, sandy moustache ami hair; slightly lame, five feet eight " iuehes in height, lie was ia the caboose asleep when the freight reached Colorado iSprings, and it is supposed he was in the car at the time of the collision, being instantlvkilled. LA WHENCE WEIH ART, German carpenter, while assisting to put out the fire in the lumber vard, was struck on the head by a flying timber, causing concussion of the brain, the victim dving soon after. MKS. YVEDK1G, while standing 600 yards from the. track looking at the ilames, was struck on the head by a flying holt and died in two hours. II.

THEY MUST GO "TO" PRISON

NO RELIEFCOMES FROM WASHINGTON Th Tnited States Supreme Court, Justice fields Dissenting;, Affirms the Rulings JJelow in the Coy-Hernhamer Case They Take it Coolly. Washington, D. C, May 14. Special. The supreme court to-day handed down its decision in the election conspiracy case. The decisions of both Judge Woods and Justice Harlan arc affirmed in all material forms. Justice Miller wrote the opinion, Justice FieiJ dissenting. The opinion is voluminous and much of it is devoted to a review of the case in its several aspects. The question of jurisdiction is treated at considerable length. Justice Miller made a 'rong analogous statement in answer to the argument of the defendant's counsel that because the vote for congressman waa not affected the federal court had not jurisdiction. He said that if a man should shoot Et one in a crowd and kill another he could just as well claim immunity against the crime of manslaughter on the ground that he had not killed the man upon whom he had designs, as one could hold that he was not amenable to the federal laws for altering the returns from a county orstate election, although these were on the same tally-sheets as the returns of votes tipon a federal officer. The fact that the election of the federal officer was not affected was not the question at issue. The shoet on which were the returns for a federal officer was mutilated, and this the law forbade. The crime against the government was as poignant as though the vote for congressman was changed. The whole fcheet w as desecrated when one figure was changed. Specifically, the court in its decision says that it was the omission of the duty imposed by the state law upon the inspectors to safely keep the certified list of voters with the returns of the judges and deliver them to the county clerk or board of eanvs;ssers that constitutes the foundation of this proceeding. The U. S. statutes confer authority to punish a conspiracy to prevent or interfere with the security or protection of elections for representatives to congress by proceedings in the federal court. The difficulty arises from the fact that congress has remitted to the state the duty of providing for such elections. When a member of congress is elected from a state he is voted for at an election at which ballots are cast for a great number of state and other local officers. The anomalous condition makes the question of the applicability of the laws of congress upon the subject somewhat complex, but the power of congress to make such provision as may be necessary for the honest conduct of such an election and the proper return of the vote can not be questioned." Touching the contention of counsel that the indictment does not aver intent by the defendant to affect the election of a member of congress, that the evil intent is not shown to have been specifically aimed at the returns of the vote for consrressman, the court says that the law is violated wheneverthe evidences concerning the votes cast are exposed or subjected in the hands of improper or unauthorized persons to the opportunity for their falsification, w hether they actually did so or not, or w hether the purpose of the party in takine them from their proper custody and exposing them to such danger might accomplish this result. The language of the act of congress clearly does not require, 1n regard to some of the acts of omission and failure to perform the duties imposed upon election officers, that there should be alleged or proved an intention to give an opportunity for improper tampering with the records of the votes cast. The court does not doubt that the indictment sets forth a conspiracy by tbe parties to the appeal to induce the inspectors of election in Indianapolis to omit the discharge of their duty, and to fail to safely keep the lists and papers, nor does it doubt that the stute of Indiana imposes such a duty upon 5,'se inspectors which .they were induced to violate by the parties to this conspiracy. The court believes that the controversies respecting the statutes of Indiana and acts of congress were questions properly before the district court, over which that court had jurisdiction, and which it was its duty to decide. . WHAT THE PRISONERS SAY. Coy Maintains Ills Joviality and Feels Hopeful, IJut Hernliainer Is Dow ncast. The decision of the supreme court created an immense amount of free comment at the time the news was received early yesterday afternoon. Knowing ones said that it was no news to them as the court could not have decided any other way. Others speculated upon the probable effect it would have upon the cases of the defendants now on trial. Remarks were numerous to the eficct that the iurors who had been allowed to go home could not help hearing of it, and would be influenced accordingly. But the thoughts of nearly everybody turned to the jail and there w as much wonderment expressed as to how Coy and Bernhamer would feel about it. The report of the expiration of their last hope was conveyed to the prisoners very soon after the news had been telegraphed to the citv. The tidings it was thought would be doubiy severe to the convicted men owing to the fact that they had experienced some buoyant hope from the rumors that had arisen out of Judge Woods' conduct in postponing the case of the defendants now on trial. It bad been considered a good omen, and Coy is reported to have felt so jubilant as to say "we've got 'em." When a Sentinel reporter visited the jail yesterday afternoon, many visitors were found to be passing in and out, and Jailor Tim Clark was kept busy locking and unlocking the door. Coy was exceedingly busy and was doing as much "hustling" as he used to do in campaign times. He seemed to be as jovial as ever, and greeted his friends with his accustomed cordiality, lie scut several men out on a mission of sonic kind in as many minutes, with the injunction in each case to "tell them I want to see them by evening, sure." At one time some interested friend drew him off to one side in a confidential way, to whom Coy said rather petulantly, "Oh, I am not feeling at all at present; I've got more business on my hands than I can attend to." " 'erne back again," he said to the reporter, "a little later in the afternoon." An inquiry for Bernhamer developed the fact that he was in consultation w ith somebody, and "would not talk about the decision anyway." On returning to the jail aa hour afterward, Coy was puffing leisurely at a cigar. . "Take a scat, take a beat, and sit down," he said, cordially. "Well, what can I say for you to-morrow," queried the reporter. "Well, I hardly know; I'm sure I haven't much to say. Everybody knows as much about it as I do," said Sim. coolly. "Tell him about your feelings," suggested an unthouglnful bystander. "Huh," responded Coy. "I don't know that I have any. I feel just tike I always did. This decision was uo surprise to me. I told my friends time and again this w ould be the outcome of it. You can just say that I am feeling just ps good as I always did. The committee of one hundred, I imagine, are feeling worse about it than I am." An acquaintance entered the jail at that moment. Coy arose and greeted him affably. To some interrogation Coy said with considerable interest, "Well, I understand it was decided the way it was because it was not taken before the court properly. What did you hear about it?" His friend could not give him much satisfaction 011 this latter point and he dropped into a conversation npon ordinary topics. Bernhamer w ould not appear, but he is reported to have been considerably annoyed by interrogatories respecting the case aud had withdrawn, not to be seen by anybody except those who had particular business with him. He is said to have irritably responded to a question, "What do you suppose I've got to say about it?" The tV.ct is, Bernhamer is very despondent. Since his return to the -ity he has been downhearted and has given way to his feelings in tears 011 several occasions. He has been considerably buoyed up by Coy's indifference and jovial rtmarks concerning the Bitnation and a possible hope that the supreme court might decide favorably. When the final news came it is stid to have come to him with crushing force and it is extremely hard for him to feign indifference. With Coy it is different, but it does

not take a close observer to see that heIs more serious than ever before, though he can assume surprising nonchalance. SIM COY'S CHARGES Against Jurors Who Voted to Convict "film

Grand Jury Investigation, The TJ. S. district grand jury, which met yesterday, was summoned before Judge Woods at 2 o'clock in the afternoon for instruction. The court called the attention of the body to the published speech made by Sim Coy to the council in his own defense, in which he charged that certain jurors who had voted to convict him had been "fixed," or tampered with, especially to his assertions that Juror Messuk, ot Delaware county, had sent word to him that he was "his friend" and wotdd "stand by him;,' and that Messiek had kept up communications with him up to w ithin a few days of the close of the trial, w hen he "sold out." and used his efforts to secure a verdict 01 guilty. The court went over Sim's speech briefly and snoke of the gravity of the charges contained therein. He emphasized the importance of a thorough investigation, saying that the court could not rest under such a charge and that, if the grand jurors failed to return bills of indictment against those alleged to be guilty of these oflenses, then a full statement of the facts must be made. Judge Woods also told the grand jury that Coy aud Bernhamer should be called as witnesses. Acting upon the instructions of the court, the grand jury took up the case at once, and during the afternoon Coy was taken over from the jail aud examined touching his charges. He will probably be used as a witness again today and Bernhamer will also be called. W'hen a reporter visited the jail last night Coy was still taking things coolly. In the course of a conversation he seemed to take a most hopeful vie of the situation, and it developed that he based much confidence upon a petition for pardon, which, he said, had received the signatures of thousands; not only here, but throughout the state, and would be forwarded to the president at once. He said further that his political frieuds at Washington had sought the president in person and obtained from him a promise to take all the papers in the case ana review them carefully. Sim felt very sanguine that the president would find that he had not been ghea a fair trial and would release him. The Trip North. On account of the grand jury's investigation it could not be stated definitely last night whether the convicted men would be taken north to-day or to-morrow. If the grand jury should get through with them in time they may go via the Monon, leavingat noon to-day, but it is not likely that the trip will be made until to-morrow. Coy's sentence is imprisonment for eighteen months and the payment of a tine of JUX), while Bernhamer's punishment was fixed at one year's imprisonment and a fine of .1,000. Under the good time act, which will be applicable in their cases, Coy's time in prison w ill expire in about thirteen months, while Bernhamer will be released in about eight months. These sentences took effect when pronounced, and their stay in jail counts upon their imprisonment. Methodist Episcopal Conference. New YORK, May 14. In the methodist episcopal general conference to-day the questions of time and manner of electing bishops and their terms of office were discussed at length. A charge that "combines" were being formed in the conference bropght out a very hot discussion. Ex-Lieut.-(iov. Cumback, of' Indiana, said that it was evident that it the discussion continued it wonld only reflect on the conference, and he moved the previous questitjn. A number of amendments were offered.

Damages Wanted (or au Abduction. Pittsburg, May 14. Counsel for William J. Parsons, father of Minnie Rose Parsons, the young lady alleged to have been abducted recently, to-day began a suit for damages against Ensign Thomas W. Ryan, of the Ü. S. navy, and J. H. Mead. Mr. Parsons claims that the defendants conspired to entice and abduct his daughter, Minnie Hose Parsons, who was at the time eighteen years of age, and that they took her to Trenton, N. J., and then to New York city. The court was asked for capias for the arrest of the defendants. The court fixed the bail in each case at "f-,000, and granted a process for their arrest.

TO DELINQUENT SUBSCRIBERS The Indiana State Sentinel will not be sent to any one who is in arrears, after this issue. "A word to the wise," etc. The Reason Why Ayer's Pills are so popular is, that while always reliable as a cathartic medicine, they never leave any ill effects. This is because they are purely vegetable, and entirely free from calomel or any other dangerous drug. In all cases, therefore, whether the patient be old or young, they may be confidently administered. ' In the Southern, and Western States, where derangements of the liver are so generat, Ayer's Pills have proved an inestimable blessing. D. W. Baine, New Berne, N. C, writes : "I suffered a long time with stomach and liver troubles. I tried various rtniedies, but received no benefit until 1 commenced taking Ayer's Pills. These pills benefited me at once. I took them regularly for a few months, and my health was completely restored." Throughout New England, next to lung diseases, Stomach and Bowel Complaints are the most prevalent. Dyspepsia and Constipation are almost universal. Mr. Gallacher, a practical chemist, of Eoxbury, Mass., who was long troubled with Dyspepsia, writes : "A friend induced Ute to try Ayer'a Pills, aud, after taking one box without much benefit, I was disposed to quit them; but he urged perseverance, and, before I had finished the second box, I began to exjcrience relief. I continued taking them, at intervals, until I had used eleven boxes. Buftice it to aay, that I am now a well man, and grateful to your chemistry, which outstrips mine." The head and stomach are always in sympathy ; hence the cause of most of those distressing headaches, to which so many, especially women, are subject. Mrs. Harriet A. Marble, of Ponghkeepsie, N. Y., writes that for years she was a martyr to headache, and never found anything to give her more than temporary relief, nutil she began takirg Ayer's Tills, since which she lias been In the enjoyment of perfect health.
