Stephen K. W—Mey Killed. Air Line passenger train No. it, westbound, which pastes this city tat t tftl a. m„ •ays the Princeton, Indiana, Democrat of last Wednesday, struck a man East Mt. Carmel this morning at 1:30, mashing his bead in a horrible manner, killing him instantly. The train was in charge of Conductor Boleman. palled by engine No. 12, with Engineer Brown and Fireman Earnest up. Information was sent to Superintendent Holbrook, who asked Coroner Norman as to the dispositou of tfie body, and it wa» brought to Princeton on No. 4, east-bound, which reaches this city at 2:40 a. to. The body lay at the union ilepot until an early hour this morning, adieu it was taken to W. II. Smith’s undertaking establishment in Maiu street and identified as Stephen K. Woolsey by different articles found on his clothing.

A hole m his shoulder resembling a bullet wound causal the coroner to have l)r. Higgins make an examination bui; the same proved that this was not made in that manner. The mail’s head was mashed eutirely off from the mouth, rendering recognition almost impossible. Back of head to neck e nil rely gone; right arm was cut off two inches below shoulder, and the shoulder was torn from .the socket. Ribs in right side were brokeu, the points of which lacerated Hie lung, heart and liter. Ijeft shoulder mashed and collar bone broken. Four ribs in left side broken. Several other miuor bruises were found ou the body. The body was dressed in a pa ir of gray pants, gray vest, dark steel gray sack coat, faded; black lace shoes with pointed toes, about No. 6 in Size; gray cotton socks, cotton colored top shirt, gray knit undershirt and brown corduroy cap. This clothing was torn into small pieces, which proves! that the laxly must have been dragged by the train some distance. In the pickets of the clothing was found a l»otUe of medicine made from a prescription signed “Brydon. D. l>.” two-foot rule, clay pipe, comb, pocket mirror, broken: imitation cigar and cigarette holder, pair gloves, small purse, five pennies, several memorandum books and papers showiug that’ he had worked for William McCarty.

Wooteey and {>arents resided for some time in Pike county, later they moved to Oakland City, and about one year ago moved t* tho vie!!, ty of Parker’s.switch, west of this city. His father was a lumber man, but now employed by the Evansville grain company. The unfortunate man was about 26 years okl, medium built and Height with dark hair and clean shaven face. It has not been learned whether the man was in Mt. Carmel or m t, but this is supposed, and that he lay down on track while eu route home ami went to sleep where the train hit him.

WaRktagtM Letter. (From our regular correspondent.' Washisotos, May 31, 1897. A real investigation of the sugar scandal j —one that would go to the bottom of things and not get frightened off when on the j track of information that would incriminatei senators—would be a good and desirable ; thing to have, but another fizzle like the j last one would be worse thau useless, be-j cause it would do more harm than good. The people recognize a job of whitewashing1 as quickly when it is done by senators as j by humbler wielders of the brush. Senator! Jones of Nevada, who was inferential!}* charged by Senator Aldrich with having given out the sugar schedule before the tariff bill was reported to the Senate, is chairman of the committee on coutingeut expenses, to which Senator Tillman’s resolution for a sugar investigation by a com

uiittee of five senators was referred, and he says the committee will report the resolution favorably. That makes it reasonably certain that the resolution will be adopted, because a number of seuators who would like to vote against it would not dare to do so. It will all depend upon the formation of the investigating committee whether it will mean business or a farce. Senator Tillman will be chairman of the committee. If he be given four colleagues as fearless as himself, the guilty senators, if there be any such, will be brought to book,and the sugar trust, the head of which got cleared on that other indictment, will also bo shown up; i but if he be given colleagues who are afraid i of their shadows, nothing will come of the ' investigation. The republican steering committee in the i Senate is slowly but surely undoing the work of the sub-committee that prepared tjie amendment to the Dingley tariff bill, and by the time the bill gets through the Senate, the rate of duties imposed therein will average almost or quite as high as the Ihngley bill. The tax on tea and the increased tax on beer are doomed, and we are likely to have an internal revenue tax on. bank checks, mortgages, etc., in their places, unless the republicans get frightened out of the idea by protests. Mr. T. G. Peyton, a well known Virginia gold democrat, thus sizes up the present situation: “It seems to me now that those of us who contributed to the success of the republican ticket have been the victims of a confidence game. As I view it now. a very great mistake was jnade last November. It would have been much better for the country to have elected Mr. Brvau. I have not liecotue a couvert to free silver since the election, my belief in sound money is as strong as ever, but 1 am satisfied that if Bryan had been elected, the country would have recovered more quickly from the ills that have afflicted it.”

Speaker Reed s readiness to reverse rulings made by him a? speaker and opinions given by him as an authority on parliamentary law would be amusing, if the matter was not of too serious a nature to be so regarded. Whatever standing as an authority on parliamentary rules and practice Mt*. Reed had previous to the present session of Congress, has been U*st by his decisions "which have made it 'plain that he recognizes nothing higher than his own will in making decisions. Heretofore many people who disagreed with Mr. lieed's parliamentary rulings in many particulars have been willing to give him credit for conscientious belief in them himself, but they are not now. After all. Mr. Reed is not solely to blame. A few of the republican members of the House could at any time rebuke the methods pursued by Mr. Reed, bv voting with the democrats, but they have not doue and are not likely to do so. On the contrary, if Mr. Reed should rule that the chaplaiu’s prayer was out of imler and a democrat appeal from the rub ing, the republicans would almost to a mai. vote to sustain the speaker. - With the republicans in the House, it is uot a question of which is right to do, but of what diced wants them to do. Senator Morgan was doubtless out of order when he made that stirring attack upon Speaker Reed and the House on the floor of the Senate, but the : attack was certainly deserved and Senator | Morgan’s assertion that the present methods of the House are not constitutional is res ceiving close attention, and may result in a change. The selection of Whitelaw Reid and his brother-in-law. Ogden Mills, to be respectively special ambassador and secretary to the ambassador to represent the I'm ted States at the queen’s jubilee cetvmonies in London, is another indication of Mr. McKinley’s disposition to cater to the wealthy. Whitelaw Reid. thanks to his father-in-law's money and some never very clearly explained business manipulations acquired a controlling interest in the paper established by Horace Greeley, and later by political trickery got Levi 1*. Morton turned down by the republican national convention and himself substituted for Benjamin Ilarrisou's running mate in his last campaign. These may be reasons why he should be especially honored, but why Mr. Mills who has never been anything but an idle society man should be honored is mexplaiuable on any other ground than that of moneyworship on the pan of Mr. McKinley.

Memorial Day. The annual memorial, day services were held on Saturday. The 6. A. R. post and a large concourse of people headed by the City band marched to the Walnut Hills cemetery where the graves of ex-soldiers were strewn with flowers after appropriate services had been held. In the afternoon at the court room appropriate ceremonies were had in honor of fallen heroes who lie sleeping in unknown graves in the South and where they fell in defense of the flag and country which they loved. The memorial day address was delivered by Rev. J. W. Elder, pastor of the C. P. chureh of this city. The address is highly spoken of as one of the ablest delivered here for many years. The Excell quartette rendered appropriate vieal music on this occasion. The attendance at the various services were very large, and an impression was left on the minds of the people which they will probably never forget. The committee having the day's services in hand are to be complimented on the success which attended their efforts. Ruck Ion’s Arnica Salve.

Do You Use It? ItV the best thing for the hair under all circumstances. Just as no man by taking thought can add an inch to his stature, so no preparation can make hair. The utmost that can be . done is to promote conditions favorably to growth. This is done by Ayer’s Hair Vigor. It renfoves dandruff, cleanses the scalp, nourishes the soil in which the hair grows, and, just as a desert will blossom under rain, so bald heads grow hair, when the roots are nourished. But the roots must be there. II you wish your hair to retain its normal color, or if you wish to restore the lost tint of gray or faded hair use Ayer’s Hair Vigor. THE TRIUMPH GF LStv.
