Th® Latest News as Flashed Over the Wires from All Parts of the World—Kegardipg- Politics, Religion, Casualties, Commerce, and Industry. THRIFTY CORONER DUNN. A Hoosier Official Who Collected Much More than He Paid Witnesses. At Indianapolis, a sensation has been created by the discovery that Deputy Coroner Dunn has been engaged in a fee brokerage by which he has drawn large sums from the county treasury. As the law fixes the witness fees the commissioners have allowed the amount according to the number of names on the receipt, thus paying Dunn the legal fee in each case, when he has paid the witnesses but a part of the sum due them. How much he has made by the operation is not known. In all the cases investigated it is shown that the witnesses did not know to what fee they were entitled.

The information was given in a letter by the “King of Tramps,” who explained his knowledge of the plot by the statement that he was the leader of the band. The letter was referred to the captain of the watch with instructions to give the visitors a proper reception. FOREIGN GOSSIP. A Berlin dispatch says it is-«S. unlikely that Prince Bismarck will be called upon to explain his recent letter, addressed to a Russian in St. Petersburg, criticising (he triple alliance, the visit of the ex-Empress Frederick to Paris, etc., ana condemning the Kaiser’s visit to England.

The rumors concerning a threatened rovo ution in Mexico for the purpose of deposing President Diaz were in a measure dbnfirmcd by a passenger who arrived in New York on board the steamer V umuri from Mexico. The passenger is a.man^of wealth and influence and has always been a warm supporter .of Diaz, but for prudential reasons he does not want to have his name used. He said there were strong evidences of a coming revolution in Mexico. The people are much*dissatisfied, or becoming so, with the administration of Diaz. Ho bis been acting in a tyrannical manner or some time toward a certain class. The speaker said he would not be surprised if a revolution broke out within the next sixty days. The leading manufacturers of agricultural implements throughout tho country have formed a compact which virtually amounts to a boycott upon county and State, fairs and agricultural exhibitions of all kinds. For the past twenty-five years the exhibits of these concerns have formed one of the prominent features of the exhibitions throughout the United States. Tho agreement, which has Veen signed by fifteen of the eighteen principal manufacturers. including McCormick, the William Deering, and the Aultman-Mil-ler companies, provides that during the season of IS'.H the signers will abstain from exhibiting at any and all county and State and otl.er -imi ar exhibitions, and that they will not during this season furnish agents with printed matter to circulate at their county fairs in case they decide to exhibit at their own expense. The reason given for this stop is that the manufae'urers have come’ to the conclusion that the thousands of dollars spoilt in this kind of advertising brings no returns.

The belief increases that the country will be able to

sell such vast quantities of grain abroad, and to draw so heavily on feieign supplies of capital, that all home industries will be tri ntly stimulated. Monetary difficulties are still in tho future, for though at some Southern points money is tight, supplies at Western < enters tire adequate for legitimate business, ami mere speculation gets less help than usual. Depression in some great industries continues and is real, but may be traced to cause, obviously not permanent. A heavy storm, accompanied by thunder and lightning, passed over Winnipeg. Several fatalities are reported. Mrs. Davis was instantly killed at Moose Jaw, and a woman named Martin at Morden.

ideal day, an Ideal parade, an ideal concourse.” ; GOD BLESS THE VETERANS WHO ; FOUGHT TO KEEP ; : OUR COUNTRY UNITED. Such was the Inscription Jn letters two feet high that greeted the eyes of Commander- in- chief Veazey as he gave । the word for the "St head of the column I ' F to • move from the \ rendezvous. The Commander-in-chief 'V i— wa9 surrounded by *1 his staff and a spe''oX if cia ^ detail of 100 V 'v j/ ” Massachusetts veterans mounted on X magnificently caparinspector general isoned steeds. Two burst. hundred Michigan veterans in black frock suits, black s'ouch hats and white bow ties, acted as rear escort to the staff. The next place of honor had been assigned to the veterans from Illinois, and as Post No. 1, of Rockford, with its big banner, came into view a salvo of cheers went from block to bio k. Department Commander Horace S. Clark, with Adjutant Genera! P. L. McKinnie and James J. Healy, as chief of staff, led the way on horseback. Picturesque was the appearance presented by George IL Thomas Post, of Chicago. wcm .v-nmi. “ .-colored umbrella. Thevwilled, twelve abreast., from curb to curm the umbrellas completely obscuring the Identity of those that carried them from the people that looked down from above. Ex Sheriff Matson marched solitary and alone in front of Ulysses S. Grant Post, and those that knew him pointed him out to openmouthed spectators as the man who swung the anarchists into eternity. Still another feature of the Illinois Divis on was Phil Sheridan Post, while America I'ost, 706, in black relief uniform, presented an appearance that was rewarded by liberal applause. That veteran of international fame, Lucius Fairchild, wearing lightly his sixty years and with his empty sleeve, marched in the front rank of the Wisconsin division. Vice Commander Weissert walked alongside the General. The spectators did not need to be told that the boys were from the Badger State, for , Wolcott Post, which led the line, carried ! baldheaded old Abe, its mascot in the 1 sixties, high in triumph, while alongside I of tho stuffed remains of tho j famous eagle was a big badger that I once held high carnival in tho woods I around Green Bay. A young girl, | typifying the Indian, with a costume of stars and stripes and carrying a libei% capon a pole, led Robert Chit as Post. The Wisconsin contingent was large and made a creditable showing, as did the third section, composed of comrades from tho Keystone State. Preceding this department were two miniature gun carriages drawn by white ponies and driven by two little boys. The Ph&del-

phia an 3 Pittsburg posts turned out iii large numbers and the sight of the tattered battle-t ag ”that they carried frequently drove the spectators into a frenzy of enthusiasm. The Allegheny School Band, composed largely of little fellows who had but recently got into knickerbockers, was another- feature of the division that camo in for general recognition. ; In the fourth division the boys from Ohio turned out over ten thousand strong. In many of the posts every man carried a flag. About ex^ery post . from Hamilton County was represented, । and the famous Old Guard of Dayton, the M’emori^ Po^t of Cleveland, and. Logan Tost of tlie same city mardhed in force. In the second rank of ihe Memorial old Comrade Ferrier, whose right leg was shot off from the hip at Gettysburg, hobbled alqng on crutches, and a colored brother who lost his nose in tho Wilderness and the center of whose face was swathed in a linen bandage, kept him company. Lawrente Pftst, of Columbus, accompanied itself with a , score of good - looking and well - formed young girls in military relief caps, wKite bodices, ■ and bine skirts, who marched afong like | schooled veterans, looking neither to the I rignt nor to the left In appreciation of the/greetfng that kept their'cheeics tinted with the hot blood. West To .t. of . । Columbus, sang a medley of popular . । songs from one end of the refute to the । ( otjier. Another miiilsterfa’-looking post : was Toledo, No. 106. while -us a set off the volunteers ot the same city came out in white helmets ai>d waving miniature flags. In tho Akron Post a huge frame of buckeyes, garlanded with flowers, was borne on the shoulders of four graybeards and many other of the fosts displayed the buckeye tn numerous devices. There were forty-seven divisions in the parade, and it took just two and a third hours for the first four to pass a given spot Estimates ot men who galloped along the line and through the formation streets after the co umn had moved placed the m'en in line all the way from thirty-five to fifty thousand. Every division was replete with । interesting features. At the head 'of the Indiana delegation, Wallace ; Foster, Secretary of * the Silent

Army of Deaf Soldiers, Sailors. Marines, carried an immen.e banner with the inscription, “Teach patriotism in the public schools. ” Tho only colored member of the National Council of Administration of the Grand Army, Jas. L. Fuller, marched ahead of Dahlgren. Post, of Norfolk, Va. In the Michigan division the Sault Ste. Marie Post carried umbrellas emblematic of Lake Su-j perior and the city of the Soo. When the head of tho column had passed the grand stand Commander Veazey relinquished command to Vice Commander Wcissert and took his place upon the reviewing stand. The profession taken “by and large,” as the sailors say, was a great success. It compared favorably with those of other years. True, the old comrades don’t march as well as they did twenty years ago. Their joints are more rheumatic, and their limp more pronounced. Their boys occasionally march with them In. tho line now, “just to keep pap from stumbling.” But they march just the same, and they march bravely, too, with their comrades and their old battle flags. They pass in review and salute their Commander-in-chief. No man with a spark of patriotism in his breast can see one of these parades without enthusing and howling himself hoarse. /jS, Mil i \ ’’"h / ARCH ON JEFFERSON AVENUE.
