Bx*()l«Teiair Gray Df«i. Iiue P. Gray, ex-governor of Indiana died ?«ry suddenly of acute pneumonia in the City of Mexico, iaat Thursday night. He was taken ilt« while on the railroad train, and when the train reached Mexico he was taken to the American house where medical aid was summoned, but which proved of no avail. His death is a sad bjow to Indiana democracy. He was a born leader and 0a man of great influence with the people of the state regardless of political affiliations. The remains were brought to ludiauapolls by special train where they lay , in state at the capitol building on Thursday. To-day the remains will be taken to Union City where the funeral services will be held. Minister Gray had beds to Ipdlanapolis having been called ther^ ou aceoutti of the Serious illness of his son Pierre who has been sick for uearly a year. Rrom there he went to Washington, where he received some instructions from the department of state, and left last week tor the City of Mexico. Isaac Pusey Gray was born in Chester county, Pennsylvania, October 1$, 1828. His ancestors were all Quakers. In 1836 his parents moved to Urbane, Ohio,and afterwards to Darke county where both died. In 1855 he moved, to Union City, Indiana. He was colonel in the Fourth Indiana Cavalry during the civil war. In 1866 he was a candidate for nomination for congress on the republican ticket and was defeated in the. primaries by George W. Julian. In 1868 he was elected to the state senate and remained a member of this body for four years. In 1870 he was tendered the consulate at St. Thomas, in the West Indies, but declined the position. He was a delegate at large to the

liberal republican convention that met in Cinciunatti in 1872 and was appointed by the convention member lor Indiana of the national committee. His name was placed before, the democratic state convention in 1872 for congress at large, and in 1874 for attorney-general but was both times withdrawn at his,request. In 1876 he was chosen by acclamation by the democratic convention for lieutenant governor and ran with James IX Williams familarly known.as “Blue Jeans” Williams, and was elected with the latter who defeated Ben)}mip Harrison for goveruor in th&t.< year. Upon the death of Governor Williairts, Gray became governor. In 1880 he was again nominated for the same position, but was defeated at the polls. In that year, with Franklin Landers, he was defeated by Porter and Hanna on the republican ticket. In 1884 Gray received two-thirds of the delegate votes in the democratic* state convention for state governor,, and made the race against ex-Con* gressman Galkins. In that year Ids plurality in the state was 7,392 while that of Cleveland was but 6,572. In 1880, when he‘ was defeated with Landers, he was beaten by only 4,770 j while Landers, was defeated by a pin*, rality of of 6,953. Since the expiration of his term of office in 1888 hehas been & leader oi the democratic partyin this stateand was prominently mentioue^iin connection with the gubernatorial convention of the partv, but his n&rpe was not presented to the convention. In that year he was stroke of by members of his party in thi&state as a possible candidate for the presidency, but went to St, Louis as an avowed candidate for the vicepresidency. In 1892 he was merationed In connection with the presidency and two. factions in the party were worked np on accouut of this. One was the Cleveland and the other the Gray faction. The war between the factions was very bitter for a time. After the nomination of Cleveland It was concluded that Gray would receive some good’foreign ministry or other rich plum in the power of the president to bestow. He was appointed minister to Mexico and immediately left for Mexico City to take the the position ami had been back to Indiaua his home, twice siuce his appointment.

LHferwood Plr«M. Basil Ledgerwood, who wag will to prison from Daviess comity for K>rapliclty in burning the court- bouse, waspsroied last Monday by Govt rnor Matthews, lie has served three j ean, and, four month*. Of the criai t ic Washington Democrat has this tc say.:. It will be remembered that Do ilgc rwood and Harbin were the lirf t a rrests made for burning the court house. Both confessed to the crime before judge Hefron at the Oc ioter. term of court in 1891 aud wen sentenced to the penitentiary for s jvctv* teeu years. In their confessiot they j alleged that J. C. Lavelle, then c mnty auditor and A. B. Hawes, had hired them to do the burning. Th ou gh the succeeding trials of Laveiiti and Hawes, Ledgerwood stuck to his first confession, while Harbin refu ed to testify hi the Lavelle case but retold the whole story in the Hawe cate. The stand taken by Ledgerw od at the trial of the cases aided the ounty materially in running down th court house conspirators; and the general opinion has been, since Lave) e and Hawes received sentence fo only eight years, that Ledgerwood ought not be required to serve a greater time, nor even so long. The action of the governor will meet, with general approval.

How Jirjei are Selected* The question is, often asked! how the jpries are selected. The court at the end of each year appoints two jury, commissioners for ther ensuing year, well known to he of opposite politics, and they immediately take from.the tax duplicate twice as many names as will be required for grand aud|petit jurors for all the terms of court for the ensuing year. As far as possible these, are selected equally from the three commissioners’ districts of the county. The names are placed in a box, it insecurely locked and returned to the clerk, who keeps said box, and the commissioner that iek-of the opposite politics to the clerk keeps the key. Then within a period of not more than one week proceeding the first day of each term of court | the jury commissioners at pear ai the Jerk’s office, the box is then well shaken, then it Is opened and the clerk draws eighteen names from the box. The first six names drawn constitute the grand jury and the next twelve names constitute fhe petit jury for the ensuing term.—Ex. Oar Roll of Honor.
