of Senator Voorhees. was .married at Indianapolis, Wednesday night, to Miss Fannie B. Vajen, the beautiful and accomplished daughter of a prominent^citizen of the capital. The wedding was a 'brilliant affair. A sensation was created at Lafontaine by the arrest of Mrs. Jerome Ha'e, wife of a prominent citizen, on a charge of assaulting Miss Ellen Worley, The* i latter stated while coming out of the poStoffice on the night of the Republican ratification she was set upon by Mrs. Hale and beaten with a board. Mrs. Hale’s motive in making the attack is a mystery, but the scandal is on everybody’s tongue. Mrs. Hale was found guilty and fined in a Justice’s Court. The loss to Dr. J. A. Berrynjan, of Potato Creek, Montgomery county, who was. almost entirely burned "But by incendaries last Sunday night, will ambunt to $6,000 over his insurance. He lost all his medical works and medicines, and all the contents of the postoffice. There is no doubt but that some person tried to fire the house during the time that the barn was burning. Coal oil was ! used in abundance. Suspicion rests upon two persons, and an investigation is to be held. Sergeant Joseph E. Frank and Private , George Kelley, of the United States Army, stationed at Evansville, have been arrested on a charge of attempting ! to betray Mary Masterdon, a seventeen-year-old-girl, of Troy, Ind. Kelley met the girl, and after wooing her a few days proposed marriage and was accepted. A i scheme was then concocted between ! himself and Frank to have a mock marriage performed, which was done. Frank producing a pretended marriage certificate and performing the ceremony. A telegram from Terre Haute states that Andrew Ginnes, this defeated Democratic candidate for Senator from Vigo county, has filed notice of contest against Bischswsky, the Republican Senator-elect. The allegations upon which the contest is based are distinguishing marks in the ballots, bribery and votes of paupers. The plurality against Ginnes was twenty-eight. The contest is of importance to Voorhees, because the Senator-elect holds over, and two years hence will vote for United States Senator. Voorhees is credited with having said that he would not ask a Lwgislature to send him to the Senate “if his oym county went back on him.” The total debt oi Indiana, as shown by the annual statement of the Treasurer, is as follows: Domestic debt—Six per cent non-negotiable bonds of tfie common school funa, $3,904,783.22, annual interest $234,286.99; 5 per cent, nonnegotiable bonds, $340,000, interest $17,-. 000; 5 per cent, bonds of the State University. $144,000, interest $7,2 0.
