Mr. Vest then took the floor to move to take up his resolu:ion for an amendment of the senate rules with a modification Instructing the committee on rules to report toy the 15th Inst. lie asked fjr the yeas and nays on the motion. Mr. Vet asked leave to say a word, but Mr. Aldrich objected. Mr. Ves: found opportunity tD say. however, th.it if the motion should be agreed to he would be willing that his resolution sh iuld be (temporarily laid asidn to permit consideration of the canal bill, lie asked If that could not b- done by unanimous consent, whereupon Mr. Faulkne. who wis In :he chair, re-plied that the senate could do almost anything by unanimous consent. Mr. Harris announced that a meeting of the committee on rules had been called for tomorrow morning to consider the various resolutions for the amendment of the rules. Wlt'n a remark by Mr. Vwi to the effect that the committee had been considering the rules tnr the past eig-ht months the voting on the Ves: motion to take up hie resolution proceeded wUh and the motion was lest 24 yeas to 31 nays. Mr. Harris sale! he had voted against the cloture resolution first because the commi:tee on rules wou'd meet tomorrow for the purpose of considering the subject of the matter of the resolution, and in view of this he could not see the necessity cf passing it. As a member of the committee on rules he announced that he favored an amendment that would give the majority, under a careful and well-prepared rule, the power to close debate upon appropriation bills as wll as revenue, the passing of which was absolutely necessary. Cnnnl mil Tnkrn I p. The senite then resumed the consideration of the Nicaragua, bill and Mr. Mrvrgtn addressed the senate. Mr. Margin devoid considerable time to a discussion of the international question thit presented themselves in connection with this matter and Of the right of the government to participate In the construction of the canal in view of the existence of treaties, etc. lie declared there was no question between the United States and Great Britain and any other government and Oret Britain nd the United States a:rilnt this measure. The governments of Nicaragua and Costa Rica (bjth sovereign powers) hid fflrmed what had already been d"ne. There could be no more majestic position assumed by the United States ammg the. family of nations than to tak up thf puhJeet and have the canal completed. In closing, Mr. Morgan anniuineed that he was very anxious to have progress made with the Nil and he aked senators to inform themselves on the muter so that it could be brought t a vte at an early day. He intimated thit he would soon ak unanimous connt. to have a time fixed for a vote. Culbm gave notice that he would be ready Frid.iy t-." m.iki snm remarks on the bill. Ho announced that he wis t r some rr.ei?ure that would result In th? final completion of the canal. The senite at 4:30 went Into executive session and at 5:10 p. m. adjourned.

SKSSIO OP THE HOUSE. The .Members Refuse to Kill the Income Tax. The house today entered upon the consideration of the urgency deficiency appropriation bill. The bill contained two disputed items, the appropriation for special pension examiners and the appropriation for tho collection of the income tax. The f.rmer appropriation opened the doors for a debate on the conduct of the pension office, and especially the practice of summarily suspending the payment of alleged fraudulent pensions, and the debate on the income tax appropriation was especially lively, but the motion to strike it out was defeated in committee by a vote of 54 to 127. It is probable that a recordmaking vote will be demanded In the house tomorrow. On motion of Mr. Breckinridge the house went into committee of the whole for the consideration of the urgent deficiency appropriation bill. The bill carried $2,000,595, but there were only two disputed items, the appropriation of 5245.000 for the collection of the income tax, and $2."0,000 for the expenses of special examiners of the pension office. An attempt, to secure an agreement fixing the limit of general debate failed, owing to the objection of Mr. Bartlett. who was at the head of the opposition to the income tax, and Mr. Henderson, who led the opposition to the appropriation, for the special examiners of the pension office. The latter took the flxr and vigorously antagonized the appropriation for the special examiners, criticising severely the conduct of th? pension ofn.ee. The commissioner of pensions had toasted that $3.000,000 of pension money had been saved t the government list year. The mission of examiners was to secure evidence against, not in favor of pensioners and claimants. He favored an amendment that would cut off this auxiliary for more examiners and keep in the field only the regular number loo. , Mr. Sickles, amid the roar of republican applause, repudiated the charge of wholesale fraud made against pensioners and declared his unalterable opposition to the appropriation unless it could be authoratlvely shown that the pension examiners provided for by it were employed in aiding, Instead of embarrassing deserving claimants. After some further debate on th subject of this appropriation by Messrs. Coombs. Daniels. Morse, Bingham. Tracey and Grosvencr Mr. Bartlett got the floor and opened the d.scussion of the income tax appropriation. He was earnestly opposed to this vicious tax, he said. McMillan and Ilartlett. Mr. McMillan defended the income tax as a Just, constitutional and democratic measure. In the course of a hot colloquy with Mr. Bartlett of New York that fob-, lowed Mr. McMillan said: "In order to show ths flagrant wrong that Is done by the system of taxation under which we have been living I will call your attention to Mr. William Waldorf Astor. This gentleman ran fjr congress once against the present governor of New Tork. Mr. Flower, and was defeated. His defeat soured and embittered him against fcha government and our institutions. He moved abroad, and, not content with what he could say against America himself and our American institutions, he purchased one of the ablest Journals of Great Britain. He lives there now and hU paper is doing Its work against our institutions. The income of this man, derived from property In New York, is more than $50.000,000 a year, and he does not pay (he dies pay a (täte tax, county tax and a municipality tax, it is true), but he does not pay tha government of the United S:aie3, and has not paid $10 in ten years, although he ha3 this colossal fortune, which is protected by our navy and defended by our navy." Mr. Bartlett "I will answer the gentleman that there is no better tax-payer In the state of New York than Mr. William "Waldorf Astor; no family in the -state or county of New York that contributes more largely to taxation purposes, state, county and municipal, than does the Astor family. "How about the federal tax?" inquired Mr. McMillan. "If it be your purpose to proscribe the rich," began Mr. Bartlett, but Mr. McMillan ouickly disclaimed such a purpose. "The secretary of the treasury reports." Interrupted Mr. Straus, "thit there will be a 3urplu3 of revenue to th? extent or $20.000,000 for the year ending June 30. 1835. Now, if there should be a surplus of revenue, isn't the gentleman willing to have the income tax repealed?' "I would not be," replied Mr. McMillan, "until you have complied with the law. In order that there may be a surplus what must we d)? We must, a-s we have dane for three yeir3 past, violate the laws of the United States and refuse to pay one dollar upon th sinking fund. When you pay up the 1100,000.000 of debt which has ben, incurred in that way, when you comply with the law and pay $30.000,000 a year upon the sinking fund then, if we have a surplus, I shall be ready to discuss th Question of the repeal of tils tax, but even

then I would take taxation off clothing and other necessaries of life rather thin off wealth." Cock ran Still Loyal. Mr. Henderson and Mr. Cockran bDth stated that they considered a debate- on the merits of the income tax unprofitable. Bath hoped that the elections had furnished an Intellectual awakening on the democratic side which would result in the repeal of "this odious tax." Mr. Cockran said he and his New York colleagues had believed that tariff reduction meant a stimulus to trade that would result in increased revenues to the governm?nt. Were they now to be told thit revenue reductions would depress Instead of stimulate

! revenue? If .so. then revenue reform wa3 l what its enemies termed It war on indus try and menace to the country's prosperity. (Republican applause) "Hut I am s.ill a believer in tirlff reform," continued Mr. On-krtn. "I s:i;l believe in the principles of taxation. I believe prosperity would have followed th? enactment of the ViL:n bill; that our imports and experts would have be-n quadrupled and our revenues increased Instead of diminished. If one man in the United States Is fo n:roni? that h an drive the people into a mistaken system tie is stronger than he should be. If Mr. Astor has been able to drive the flower of Tennessee democracy (Mr. McMillan) into this heresy, then Mr. Astor is more powerful In the democratic party than he ever proved himself to be in the ranks of the opposition." After a short speech by Mr. Breckinridge, who was in charge of the bill, in which he defended the Income tax, attributed the late democratic disaster to divisions among the leaders, and predicted thnt the younger democrats who suffered defeat last November would return to congress and power along with a purified party, general debate closed and Mr. Uar:lett moved to. strike out the appropriation for the collection; of the income tax. It was defeated and the house soon adjourned. CAXAL STEAL. Mr. Turpie Spenk Against the McnrnKuan III 1 1. WASHINGTON. Dec. 17. More than three hours of today's session of the senate were occupied In the discussion of the Nicaraguan canal bill and three senators made speeches. Mr. Peffer of Kan?as favored the measure under certain conditions, but was opposed to issuing b)nds piyab'.e In gol to raise the money required. Mr. Squire- of Washington declared unequivocally in favor of the construction of the canal, while Mr. Turpie. though approving a canal, expressed hi decided opposition to the pending b.J'.. During the morion? hour Mr. Kyle of South Dakota submitted some remarks In behalf of the bill establishing a nation.il university at Washington. Consideration of the Nicaragua canal bill wa.-: resumed and Mr. Peffer addressed tha senate. He did not believe that the country was in a condition to buy the canal and is.?' re bonus fir its payment. The constitution did not authorize the lending of money for th? purpose of forwarding a private enterprise, which waj what was proposed to be dne by the present bill. It would be better for the government to build the canal Mr. tiquire cf Washington followed with a hearty Indorsement of th" canal project, which, he said, would be of greater importance t the western world than the Suez canal is to the eastern. At this point Mr. Turpie offered an amendment to the bill. whi,?h was ordered printed. The amendment provides that before any provisi :is of the act are enforced the president is to appoint three competent T.gineeH, two of them from the engi.ief-r corpse ana one from civil life, not interested in the company, to make a survey and estimate of the expense of the construction cf tne canal on ths? route proposed. Mr. Turpie then proceeded to address the senate on the pending bill. He started out by saying that he w. heartily in favor of the construction of this canal or any other navigable highway through the uthnius. He did not regard the pending bill, however, as furnishing any me 103 of the accomplishment of thLs enterprise, or tending to promote the prosecution or completion of the car.al. He regarded it, whether design :d or undesigned, as one of these measures which will assuredly Lad to another failure (the fifty first, he thought) of the concessions or compact for the building of this canal. lie entertained f?rave doubts rspecting its constitutionality and knew cf no authority in congress to indorse or guarantee the payment of the d?c'3 of any corporation, public or private. He argued that th?ra was but one precedent for the step proposed in the pending bill, anl that was in the cas? of the Pacific railroads. Regarding security for the debt incurr?d thereby Mr. Turpi? said there was nothing but a right-of-way, 100 fet wide, some tk-3 and some tracks on the tics a very tlim security. But it was a full ard ample one if i: be compared for one mom nt with the guarantee cf the pending bill. After detailing the criminal understanding that the government should not b; asked to guarantee th maritime company's indsKtedres Mr. Turpie a.k?d w ith some display of feeing with what fairness can this company r.bw com3 to congress and a.k for 87o.o)ö.o'lo. ' Without rising from his seat Senator Morgan interjected the remark that, the company "had not com? h.rc making such a reiust," to which Mr. Turpie replied: "Tiien they have a very per-ulUr way of staying away." He riiicul?d the talk of s' lling the company's bonds in Enalind and declared thit its entire asset. could not be sold in London for J50. He said the failure of the l'anami canal schtm? hal sealed the doom c f all Uthmian canal building. The tnrpica! t-iimate. he said, was fatal to all such enterprises. There were m difficulties in the way of construction offered by tho Clay-ton-Ilulwcr treaty. Referring to the numerous surveys for a route made from time to time Mr. Turpie laid partijular stress on that of 1851 by Cornelius Vanderbilt and associates, anyone of whom, he as-s-rted. could have completed the canal. Yet the enterprise had bDen abandoned. Pending the conclusion of his remarks the senate, at 4:55 p. m.. went into executive session ar.d at 5:07 p. m. adjjurned. SESSIO OK TIIK IIOl SE.

Sold everywhere. der discussion during the present session, wu Anally passed today under suspension of the rules. The motion to suspend the rules rendered the opposition helplesa to prevent a vote, and as the bill secured the necessary twothirds, it was passed. Tha bill provides that no public forest reservation shill be established except to improve and protect the forest within the reservation or for the purpose of eecuring favorable conditions of witer-flow. It givc3 the secretary of the Interior authority to make regulations for protection against tire and depredation. It also gives him authority to prescribe regulations under which such d?ad or matured tree? may be removed as may be necessary to preserve the remaining timber. Under this authority he is empowered to sell such timber in limited quantifies to each purchaser. He is also authorized to maka a detad of troops for the protection of reservations. The bill further provides for the restoration of agriculture and mineral lands in forest reservations to the put'lic domain. The remainder of the day was devoted to the army appropriation bill. The bill reduced tha number of paymasters In the army by five and the number of captalna in the subsistence by four and transferred the Ft. Leivenworth military prison to the department of justice. The bill was pa?.ed without amendments. At th? opening of the session of the house today Mr. Herrn aja presented a preamble and resolution declaring that the Clayton-Puhver treaty was an obstacle to the construction of the lnteroceanic canal and that it should ba abrogated. It wa.referred to ihu committee 011 foreign affairs. Fifteen of the sixteen pension bills favorably reported from the Friday night's session were then passed without obJt-ctLm in exactly four minutes. MeRa chairman of the committee on public lands, moved to pass, und;T a suspension of the rules, the bill to protect public forest reservations. Mr. Wells charged that rascality was behind the hilt and predietf-d thit those who were pushing It through with whip and spur would live to regret their action. The vot? resulted 159 to 53 and the bill was passed. Mr. Sprin?r of Illinois, chairman of the committee on banking and currency, then presented the report of the majority on the Carlisle banking b'il and it was ordered printed, together with the minority report to be presented by Mr. Walker. Mr. Outhwaite, chairman of the military affairs committee, called up the army appropriation bill and explained Its provisions. The bill carried $23.2,.9.S0S $163,618 less than the appropriation for the current fiscal year and SI. 305.874 less thin the estimates. Three propositions in the bill were new, ail being recommended by the secretary of war. One reduced the number of majors In the pay department to twenty, a reduction of five. The second reduced the numbtr of captains in the subsistence department by four and the third transferred the m.'.itary prison at Ft. Leavenworth to the jurisdiction of the dapartment of Justice. Mr. Springer, in accordance with the notice given earlier in the day, at this paint announced that he would tomorrow, immediately after the ca.l of committees for reports, call up the banking bill either by virtue of a special order or of its privilege. Then, at 5 o'clock, the house adjourned. Only two weeks more to get Dainty Work. See cur offer on another page. CONDITION OF TRADE. It. G. Dan A Co.'m Weekly Review of the niiftiues Situation. NEW YORK, Dec. 14. It. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say: Dun's review Is enabled by the kindness of several thousand manufacturers, who have forwarded statements of thoir payrobs for November, this year, in 1S93 and in 1892, to mike a very encouraging comparison of earnings for that month which shows an increase In total payments of 15.2 per cent, over last year, but a decrease of 1S.3 rer cent. In comparison with 1892. A statement of hands employed sfliow3 that in the" same establishments 10.2 per cent, more persons were employed than a year ago. but S.G per cent, loss than 1S32. The average of earnings for over 250,000 hands la 4 ikt cent, larger than in 1S93. but 13' per cent, less than in 1SÜ2, and this statement takc3 no account of hours cf work In the month compared or of the establishments) not working at all this year. In suHie of the industries more hands are at work than In 1892, but in others the decrease i3 large. Contradictory changes In business are quite in order at this season. Neither the larger orders in some branches nor tho depression of prices in others afford a safe Indication of the general movement. But the working force does not lessen more than usual for the time of year, the demand for goods does not seem to diminish, though in most departments it Is considerably below the capacity of works in operation, and the volume of business transacted Is a little larger in comparison with last yeir than in November. The speculative markets have advanced a little, though reasons are hard to find. Wheat 13 unchanged in price, although western receipts are 3 large as they were last year, and Atlantic exports are 831,20Ö bu?hels, against 1.029.250 a year ago. Corn is a fraction weaker, without any important change In movement, though the receipts continue remarkably large. The heavy receipts of cotton have broken d)wn the price to 5.73c in spite of a strong- epculativ Interest looking for some recovery from the lowest punt on record. The detiiled reports regarding- the chief Industries are not altogether encouraging. The Iron output Increased during the month of November and wa? 103,762 tins weekly Dec. 1 against 162.C66 Nov. 1. but the Increase In stock3 unsold wjl3 50,149 tons, which averages 11,700 tins per week, i.ndlciting that the Increase In production during the month of November was not suppsrted by the demand for products. Accordingly prices have been declining, the general averig? of articles being only 54. of the average in October, 1889, against 55.7 on tho 1st of December. The Pittsburg markets show most weakness. Ilrssemer pig being quoted at $10.15 and Grey forge offered at S3. 39 and bir iron se'ilng at 90c, but In structural forms the eastern derrund is sufficiently larg; to cause a slight advance in beams. The minor metals are stronger, though apparently for fpoculatlve reasons only. The textile manufactures are on th? whole weaker, althougn sales of wool for the pa.t week, in part for speculative purposes, hive been larger than one year or two years ago, and for two weeks of December have been 9 610.200 pounds against 7.S57.200 last year and 1O.82X.S0O in 192. Tlie orders for spring woolen? d) not nnterhliy Increase, but the current demand for immediate delivery continues unuuUly Urge. Cottrm goods are demoralized by some reduction, and by the announcement of a great auction sale of 27.000 pieces by Bliss. Fa by an & Co.. and their regularity In staples incraises. while print cloths are steady.

Dec. 17. Special. "Likely one of the most remarkable cases of love ever openly expressed developed in thLs city today by the discovery of Edgir Walts, ag?d twenty-eight, of DeLand, FU., in a dying condition in his room at the Kirby hotel. On tha stmd near his bed was a letter addressed to O. M. m Stewart, which explained that the man had attempted to take his own life becau3 he loved Stewart's brother, William Stewart, and had been Jilted by the young man. Watts was hurriedly taken to the city hospital, where ho now lies at the point of death, but may recover. Walts is unmarried and his parents live In De Wald, where young Stewart has until recently been attending school. Tne two were considered very fa-t friends in Florida, but Stewart did not discover Walt3's love until he attempted to leave there for hi3 home ha Coll'-re Corner. O. Walts finally openly declan-d his strong passion and finally Stewart ran away from him, coming to New Albany, this state. Wai:s Anally located him there and the two then went to the home of Stewart'3 parents. They finally agreed to come to Muncie with Stewart's brother, O. M., who formerly had a meat market here, and open a shop. Walts had promised to purchase a shop and give it to William. This he did. and for a few weeks everything has been running smoothly, Walts and William rooming together at th? shop. WalU did no work, but had plenty of money, which he lavished on William. The young man even tired of this strange fancy and wanted to shake Walts. Saturday evening he wanted to go home and did not want Walts to go with him. lie ran to the depot, with Walts afttr him. Stewart caught onto a moving train, fell under it and came near being cut in two. Despondent. Walts came to the hotel, registered as Edgar Dieing of Chicago. The ci-rk smiled at the name as LMgar was b.'ing igned a room. The man paid f-T his bet -nj retired. At noon Sunday he did not g.. up and at supper his d or was still locked. Today at 11 o'cloc-k the proprietor decided that something was wrong and burs: open the door. A rather frightful sight encountered the party as they entered the room. There was ?igns of terriMe fu ffo! inj and the unconscious man presented a horrible sight. He was quickly moved to the city hospital in an ambulance and still remains there, not yet out of danj gf r. Several letters were found, any of which tr.!j the strarge tale of one man taking hi. life because of his love for another. One of the letters was to the hotel clerk. Jt said: "You laughed when I registered Edgar Dieing. but it should be Edgar Death." Another one read: "To Whom It May Concern: "I died of poison administered by my own hand. Very truly. "EDGAR WALTS." O'-her letters expressed his love for Stewart and confessed that he W3S dying for the only person he ever loved. William has gone to his parents' home, but hi? brothQr, O. M. Stewart, said: "My brother went to DeLand. Fla., where he met Watts at a Christian Endeavor meeting. He Invited Will to stay with him and afterward took him to Chicago to see the world" fair, paying all expenses. He after told Will that he wanted to live with him like husband and wife, and when Will tried to get away from hhn he followed. To be with him Watts purchased the meat shop for us, but this has grown tires-ome business. I knew the Infatuation was remarkable, but it was greater than I suspected." Mr. Stewart said he suspected It wa. the usual ciuse for such cases, and he secretly watched the tvo and found hissuspicions, were groundless. Watts Is highly connected and educated. Snbcrlbe ov.

DRAMATIC DAY

In the Lfiow Committer's Invest 1Gratlon. NEW YORK, Dec. 11. Police Capt. Creedon confessed before the Lexow committee today that he had paid $15,000 to secure his captaincy. A few hours later he was suspended from the force by the board of police commissioners on recommendation of Superintendent Byrnes, who was instructed to prcpire charges against him. The Lexow committee had agreed that Creedon should be granted Immunity from punishment for his purchase of a cap:aincy, and when the action of the police eommiss.uners became known they, as well as Superintendent Byrnes, were subponaed to appear this afternoon before the investigation body. Capt. Creed Dn's confession was the b!gi best sensation yet brought forth by the Lexow committee. In itself the captain's statement was merely a confirmation of testimony elicited before the senators yesterday; but the startling facts, essentlally lnterwoven with this sensational exposure, affects the taint of dishonor and corruption upon men who have held some of the most responsible cfTiees In the gift of the community. But public censure Is not heaped on Creclon' head. lie bad served in the local police department for thirty years with honor and distinction. He Is a warscared veteran, whose record shows that in twenty-three engagements of the civil war he risked his life for his country. The captain's fault is forgotten by the popular mind in sympithy for his present trying p?,s!tion and respect for his past record. The day was replete with exciting and dramatic Incidents in consequeuce of the Lexow committee proceedings, throughout the official channels that bear relation lo the public departments involved in the investigation. Commissioner Sheehan, when told of Creedon's statement, said: "Who got the money?" When told that the point had not yet been fully developed he said: "That's what they want to find out. If they keep up their investigation long enough I guess they will,.' Capt. Creedon said the expense of educating Jii-s eight children had been very heavy and he wanted the position of captain with its increased emoluments. But he had submitted the matter to his friends. They raised the money. The amount necessary to secure the appointment was J15.000. because Sc.-gt. Wiegand had offered $12,000. His friends. Harney Uourke nnd John W. Keppenhagen, secured the money, ostensibly on his notes. lie had paid the money to rx-Awmblyman John J. Martin. It was his understanding that the funds went to Police Commissioner VoorhLs, nw police justice. The conclusion of Capt. Creedon's testimony was followed by an impressive pause. Then Mr. (loff apologized for causing the captain the unpleasantness he hud experl -.need. Tears suffused Creedon's eye3. ave rwiaeiv-ui jv immunity. he .brved ;jDJ,; he com blic interest will nnlir. ciiniuruing- you in your position a j . burYcaptaln." Then there was -t of applause such as no man could sto-f Capt. Crefdon arose. Tle looked straight ahead. Tears filled his eyes nnd his face twitched with emotion. Then eneh member of the committee and Counsel Goff, Jerome and Moss shook his hand warmly. There was another burst of applause and Capt. Creedon walked from the court room crying. Men. trembling with pent-up feelings, grasped his hand In sympathetic pity. Then John W. Reppenhagen testified that he handled the money. He was given the money and in turn he turned over $10,000 t'f it to "Hopst" John Martin for the benefit of Commi-.-ioner VoorhLs. He kept the remaining $3,000 for himself. He was the go-between. Repp; nhagen swore that Voorhis lied if he said he did not get the money. Mr. Goff said he had subpoenaed Martin, but word hal com? that that individual was suffering with paralysis. t It was during the afternoon session that Mr. Goff learned of Capt. Creedon's suspension. The committee became excited. "Subpoena all the commissioners," yelled Senator Bradley. The subpoenas were Lssued. "It looks as though the men who tell the truth are to be suspended by the police board." said Senator O'Connor angrily. "It is abominable," was Chairman Lexow's verdict. Every cne spoke at once. Indignation prevailed. Th? subpoena servers soon performed their work and Commissioner Martin assumed the witness stand. He had not known that the committee were desirious of detaining Capt. Creedon or he would have done otherwise. He had voted for Creedon's suspension on the recommendation of Superintendent Byrnes. Commissioner Martin faid he was desirious of working in harmony with the committee in purifying the police department. He promised he would do all in his power to restore Capt. Creedon. Then there was m re applause. It was increased by the appearance of Superintendent Byrnes. lie said that Creedon's case was different from that of other accused police captains. When Creeden was appointed he swore that he had paid no money to secure the appointment. The superintendent had recommended the suspension beeauso of Creedon's perjury and because Creedon had acknowledged his guilt before the committee. P.ut Mr. Byrnes also promised to do all in his power to obtain Cnpt. Creedon's rertoration. The audience applauded the superintendent. The committee's adjournment till Tuesday only adds fuel for the anxious speculation which is being indulged in as to the next step in this startling expose. Police Justice Voorhis, who is tonight one of the most talked of men in New York, thLs afternoon denied in toto the allegations made against him before the senators. NEW YORK, Dec. 15. The police commissioners today reinstated Capt. Creedon. Two resolutions were offered by Commissioner Murray. One provided for the releas? from suspension of Capt. Creedon and the other called for a conference between the president of the police board and Chairman L.-xow of th? senate commitl tee concerning Creedon's case and other J matters. Commissioner Sheehan cast the I only vote against tho first resolution, the j second being carrld unanimously: It was I the general understanding at police head1 quarters that Superintendent Byrnes was alone responsible for Capt. Creedon's suspension at the executive session of the pilice board yesterday. It Is known that the superintendent was bitter against the captain from th? moment he heard that Creedon hd confessed the payment of the money. Superintendent Byrnes said today: "I have as yet said nothing of the course I shill pursue toward any person, either directly or indirectly. It is not for me to override the police commissioners. Anything that I shall do will be in the nature of h:lding an Investigation as to whether there are any officers of thia kind In the city, and if so who they are." Justice Voorhis reiterated today his denials of yesterday and added thit he did not think himself called upon at thi3 time ta vindicate himself. He thought the proprr person tD begin explanations was John Martin, who, it Is charged, handled the $10,000 which Is said to have been raised to Induce Voorhis, when Police Commissioner, to appoint Capt. Creedon: "It lays with Martin to prove what he did with the money in question. Nevertheless," said Judge Voorhis, "I am here and my bookei and private papers are at home and can be produced on demind. I am ready to go before the Lexw committee at any time."

During the Wnr He Wan Confined at j the Alexandria Ilonpltnl and n Man AVho Later Occupied Ilia Cot W Ilnrled Inder Mesler'a nmf The Grnve In Mnrked by n Tombstone lien ring McIer' Xante. In the varying: changes which come In the course of a man's life It is not frequently the case that he can stand at his own grave and read his name and a tribute to his memory cut in the cold stone at the head of the green mound. John 1. ilesler, a well-known boot and shoe dealer of this city, however, can do this very thing for, according to the official records In the adjutant-general's office at Washington, he was on:e an Inmate of a hospital at Alexandria; died there and was carried away to make one of the thousands whose temporal forms have long since gone to dust in the silent city of the dead at Arlington. Mesler, when the tocsin of. war was sounded and the call for troops r;as sent out from Washington, enlisted from New York City and with his replment went to take part in the strupgle in which the army of Virginia was then engaged, lie had seen but a few months of active service in camp and field when he was stricken down with fever and was removed to the hospital In the old Virginia city on the Totomac. This was but a short time before the battle of Fredericksburg. When he became convalescent his longing to once more see the friends away back at his New York home grew upon him and finally one night he stole out of the ward, where he had been under the care of the physicians, and under cover of the darkness passed down to the wharves. He had learned previously of a schooner which would be outward bound for New York on the following uioming and found his way to this ve.5cl. Through the kindness of the mate he was taken back to New York City, where he proceeded to his home and remained until he had entirely recovered his strength. It had not been a desertion, according to army regulations, and as soon as possible he returned and Joined his regiment, which was subsequently consolidated with the Twenty-seventh Indiana, of which ex-President Benjamin Harmon was cornel. He served through the war and won distinction for bravery in numerous battles and engagement.while in the army of the Cumberland and with Sherman's army on its march to the sea. On the very night that JIe?ler slipped away from the hospital in Alexandria a man, wounded unto death, was brought In and placed on the cot which John Meslcr had occupied and over which the card bearing his name and the name of his regiment was suspended. The wounded soldier died the next morning nnd was removed for interment to Arlington. From the card over the bed, as was customary, was taken the supposed name and regiment of the dead man. And so. to this very day, in the national cemetery can be seen at the head of one of the many thousand graves, a simple white tombstone on which is inscribed: "John Mesler, Company H, Fifteenth New York Infantry."

BUREAU OF THE SENTINEL, WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 17. For the first time since the advent of the present administration the appointment of a postmaster at Muncie is beginning to assume a definite shape, and it is probable that before the expiration of another week Mr. Edward T. Tuhey's name will be sent to the sneate by the president for confirma tion. This Is one of the offices upon which I the congressional delegation from Indiana has failed to agree, and therefore no action has been taken by the administration. There were originally three applicants for the position Messrs. Ephraim Smell, Thomas McKillin and Charles W. Kiljrore. Each of the.e candidates had a strong following amor.? the, congressional delegation. When the case was presented ta the postmaster-general for consideration he declined to take action upon it until the delepatlon shou.d reach some agreement. This the members faKed to do. and It was suggested by the postmaster-general that, as one of the cardinal doctrines of the democratic party was to allow th people to choose their own candidates for offl;e3. It , might be wise for the delegation to suormt the question to the democratic voters at Muncie, which suggestion wis Immediately accepted. An election was therefore called for last Wednesday, which resulted In the
