WALKERTON INBEFENDEn7 WALKERTON, . . . INDIANA SOLDIERS ON GUARD. PUGILISTS ROUTED FROM ROBY, IND. The Empire State Celebrates Royally at the Fair —Looted a Steamer’s Treasure Room—Fatal Crash on a Cincinnati Electric Road. Stopped the I’rize Fight. SEVEN HUNDRED officers and men ol the Indiana National Guard, fortified with swords, bayonets, rifles, a Gatling gun, and twenty-seven thousand pounds of ammunition, bivouacked at Roby, Ind., on Monday night, outside the arena of the Columbian Athletic Club. The finish fights which had been announced to take place between Young Grillo, champion feather-weight of Australia, and “Kid” Lavigne, of Bay City. Mich., for a purse of $6,500, and Jimmy Barry, of Chicago, J ' L and Johnny Connors, of Springfield, 111., for a *L<*o ) purse. were called off before the military demonstration was made at the clubhouse. Benjamin Hayes, of Crown Point. Ind., who was appointed receiv< r for the club early in the day. served an erder on Charles Fredericks. Sheriff of Lake i County, that he should allow no more I prize fights at the club-house. Except for the militia the Robv spoiling resort was as dull and fully as dark as a cemetery. To New York’s Fame. New York day at the Fair was worthy of the Empire State. There were more people, more enthusiasm, more distinguished men. more beautiful women, and more courtly hospitality than have graced the festivities of any of it; sister States, save one. Gov. Roswell P. Flower, with State officers and his military staff about him, was there. Mayor Gilroy, chief executive c f the country's metropolis, was there. Chauncey M. Depew was there to weave twin garlands of oratorical compliment for the Fair and for the State. Best of all. 25,000 New York people were there, who wore blue badges and tramped through all the hails and corridors of the great white and gold building and looked at the portraits of dead Dutch Governors and at the live statesmen, and testified in every way their devotion to the State of Coney Island and Grover Cleveland. The festivities began early in the morning and lasted until after the chimes in the German castle had sounded midnight. Before noon the fireworks were oratorical; after dark they weie sulphuric. Through and in them all New York and New York men were glorified. But there was no memory lettof any jealousy of Chicago or slander of the Fair. Street-Car Horror at Cincinnati.

At Cincinnati. Ohio, an electric car dashed down a hill at a frightful speed, left the track, broke a telegraph pole, and shot into a saloon, wrecking itself and the structure it struck. As a result of the collision two persons are deal, six are injur, d beyond recovery, and nearly foity more are hurt. There were forty-five persons in the ear and not one of them escaped injury. The motorman and conductor jumped just before the car struck the pole and thus escaped a horrible death. The ear was smashed into splinters, as was the front of the saloon and the bar. and from the debris at once arose agonizing cries ■ and moans. Six patrol wagons were I upon the scene in a few minutes, and the dead and dying were quickly transferred to the city hospital, where the entire medical staff was soon busily engaged in rendering such assistance as was in their power. Steals 200,000 Ounces of Silver. The burned steamer San Juan, on her last trip from Hong Kong to Manilla. had on board 200,000 ounces of silver, worth about $250,000. all of which has disappeared. No signs of it could he found by divers working cn the wreck. Chief Engineer Webb and a number of the steamer's officers have been arrested. Great excitement prevails in Mexico, the Philippines and Heng Kong over the discovery of the coin, which was found hidden in the engine room of the San Antonio and in the chief engineer's cabin. Chief Engineer Webb was detected in the act of smuggling the fortune into Manila. Labor Day. 1 Cei.e^WTh >n of Labor Day was gen- । eral jmroughout the country, in the ' ■RWs. and from no point oomos rww of V any disturbance. Almost without ex- ( ception the parades were larger, more i orderly, better looking, and the festiv-I ities more tempered with moderation. BREVITIES.

(COMMISSIONER LOCHREN. of the Pension Bureau, has issued an order modifying the practice of the office as to suspensions of pensions.

There was a sensational sessionjjof the Soldiers' Monument Commission at (Indianapolis Friday, and at its close i the vote stood 4 to 1 for removing the j much reviled Mexican war dates that i appear on a frieze near the top of the monument. These dates were ! placed there along with the civil war dates, and caused the G. A. R. not only j in Indiana but all over the country to I refuse to recognize the monument or [ take any part in its dedication. The | commission has held out. for ten months against removing the dates, but they will now have to come down. The sixteenth annual convention of the American Bar Association was . called to order in Plymouth Church, Milwaukee, by President John Randolph Tucker, of Lexington. Va. . There were only about one hundred . . delegates present, but Secretary ' ' Otis Hinckley, of Baltimore, < explained that the attendance • at the opening session is always light, 1 and that 100 or 150 more delegates were • expected that evening. Ab ut 259 had ■ signified their intention to he present. Immediately after the opening Presi- - dent Tucker read his annual address. , which consisted mostly of a digest of t the principal laws passed by Congress .. and the State Legislature- since the i association's last meeting. After Learj Ing Mr. Tuck- rs address, the convention proceeded to vote cn thirty-one

applioants for admission, whose name® UP ° n by ‘HeasßOolThe poetoffice inspection department in Chicago received a telegram from Sparta J is. stating that the postoffice in that town had been entered by burglars and the safe blown open with dynamite, the robbers securing postal cards to the value of $265, besides $350 in stamps and $92 in eash. Inspector Stuart says that the robbery of countty postoffices within a radius of a few hundred miles of Chicago is becoming alarmingly prevalent, and he feels somewhat disturbed over the prospect. Not long since he broke up a dangerous gang of professional postoffice thieves and burglars having headquarters in Chicago, tending two or three of the ringleaders to the pent, tentiary. He is satisfied, howeven that other gangs have been organized. He is not yet certain that they have headquarters in Chicago, but is disposed. from many little pointers in hig possession, to think that such is tha case - t The Chicago landlords who many of the tenement houses in th® poorer sections of tljc city have becmj i tired of waiting fur their rent. It Jr I now overdue in some cases sevdl^ months. Some of the landlords h® ' evicted tenant- already and many hw~. served notice for a great nun^R. J to vacate at once or pay rent^aFv’ is impesdble for many people to get enough to eat and to pay rent is out of the question. If these • threatened evictions are carried out. each day will find hurdrods of people without shelter in the streets. Those who are thrown out of one place because of inability to pay rent are not likely to find landlords to take them in. There are now many families, including email children, sleeping in the street. Steric- of hearties cruelties on the part of landlords are numerous. Some exaggeration on the part of tenants as regards their side of the story is probable, but the actual condition is serious. In addition to the general suffering and poverty, there are individual cases of sickness where the unfortunate need medical attendance, nourishing food, and good care. Instead they have received the fatal notice from the landlord. < ONTRARY to all expectations the Clingman injunction care against the World's Fair was not decided Thursday. The three Judges who heard the motion failed to agree. Judges Dunne and Brentano were for the dissolution of the injunction, while Judge Goggin decided that it should stand. Though the practice is that where three Judges sit together the majority shall rule, it was the contrary which prevailed in this ease. After the three Judges had taken their places on tin liench, says a Chicago dispatch. Judge (Joggin attempted to enter an order to continue the case for sixty days in an alleged attempt to defeat the decision concurred in ny his two associates to dissolve the injunction. Judge Dunne, to whom the reading of the majority opinion had been intrusted, insisted 'on his right to do so. He read the opinion dissolving the injunct »on. ami wawgtw rr~ newed his attempt to grant a continuance. Ex-Judge Moran, representing the Exposition Company, addressed the Court, referring to the attempted continuance as " judicial anarchy." Judges Brentano and Dunne induced Judge Goggin to leave the liench, and then went into conference with the ; Judge in Chandlers. After the con-| ference Judges Brentano and Dunne ■ returned to the K»nch and announced ■ that Judge Goggin no longer desired them in conference with him. Judge Goggin tl en entered an order overruling the motion to dissolve, and refused ex-Judge Moran's request to set a date for hearing a motion t" vacate that order.

The understanding at Washington is that special sessions will bo called in Montana. Wyoming, and the State of Washington to fill the vacancies. Harry C. Ides, of St. Johnsbury, yt., has been tendered the position of Chief Justice of Samoa. This office is filled by the consent of three powers— Germany, England and America—and carries with it great responsibility, and demands much legal ability on the part of the incumbent.

SLAIN BY A ROBBER. PETER M’COOEY KILLED IN HIS BED. Dr. Graves Deliberately Takes His Own Life—Favorable Effects of Silver Legisla-tion-Stupendous Nerve of a Brace of Hoosier Bankers. Shot Dead by His Wife’s Side. At 2:39 o clock Sunday morning the family of Peter McCooey wore asleep m their house in the rear of No 153 j Johnson street. Chicago. The husband was awakened by a noise in the | room as if some one had knocked over a chair. Springing to his elbow, half awake, he was dazzled bv tho light of a lamp shining full in his eyes. The lamp was in the hands of a man who । stoc d near the bed. Two other men were in the room near the door. A child would have known their errand—robber As McCooey was in the very act oi wringing from his bed the man with the lamp Hashed a revolver and fired. McCooey, checked in the midst of his spring, fell back beside bis wife with a groan. The man ! with the pistol set the lamp on the , floor and the three men ran out of the I t3earoom. Thomas Higgins was afterward captured and confessed. I ' Gave Silver to tho Poor. From every part of tho city of Chicago the hungry men. women and children flock to the food-distributing station at Judd and Clinton streets of Alexander Kopjierl and others. No money had been given out until Friday, when an elderly woman come to the place with a young man about 18 years old. She brought with her a sack < f silver coin which contained probably ssuo. Shosto d near the door of tlie church where the crowd passed । her in going out and handed out the : silver coin, varying in denomination : from dollars to dimes. At last the sack was empty. The young man was sent away with several bank bills of large denomination. He soon returned with another supply of small coin. This, too. was handed out. and the crowd of needy and deserving people still surged j ast her. Realizing the fact that even a large sum of money could go only a short way toward relieving so much want and suffering, she broke down and cried and was led away by the young man. who was evidently her son. She refused to give her name or address, but said sho would come again in a few days. Six Dollars the Ban c's Capital.

Western Democrats who dislike to go home and fuco the resentment of silver constituents over the House outcem on the Wilson bill. A-ile firm that' as stated I v Fithian. Dockery of Missouri. Sayers of Texa-. and others, they believe that prompt, radical steps in tariff revision will allay the indignation of their people. They are getting letters every day which sh< w their districts to be afire over the silver question. They think a strong tariff bill might l>e used in the nati re of a wet blanket to smother these silver flam s. It can be safely said that th-ee out of every five Congressmen here d > noi want to adjourn. but are eager to pash on with the work and get through. However, this wants to be rememtered: Congress proposes but Cleveland disposes. Ccngres-’ will adjourn or not just as President Cleveland wishe . and no one ha> heard whether Mr. Cleveland wards it to adjourn or net. There are one or two reasons to believe that Mr. Cleveland will not- a ; k them to adjourn. He said in his message that h> had intended t> convene Congress in September to look after the tariff. September is here, and if his former tariff mind holds good he will want Congress to keep right on. Another r a>< n is that the tieasu -y is cleaned cut of cash for general expenses. It is dipj ing into the gold rightnow, and the last department pay roll was ; aid off in gold, from white house to navy yard.
