SENATOR YOORHEES.

He Repels Recent Attacks Upon Himself and His Appointees.

A Vigorous Defence—Indiana Soldiers Who Have Received Positions-

The Senator's Opinion of the Administration.

[Indianapolis Sentinel.]

HOT SPRINGS, Ark., Aug. 10.—As your readers are doubtless aware Sena tor Voorhees at this time is sojourning at this famous resort, in quest, as he says, of "absolute rest," after a period of six or eight months of intense and incessant application to his duties at Washington and in the courts. Meeting him today your correspondent inquired whether he had seen certain attacks upon him in the Indianapolis Journal and elsewhere in regard to his recommendations for appointments in Indiana, and especially with reference to his alleged neglect of soldiers. The Senator replied substantially as follows: "I presume I have seen the article's to which you allude, and have been much surprised at some of them. No one in my position can hope to escape criticism even if he were absolutely faultless, for every body cannot be gratified in their desire. I ohly claim that I have done the best I could and as it has appeared right to me. The most important position thus far bestowed in Indiana by the present administration went to Evansville, and was received by Colonel Denby, a soldier who is now on his wOy to China as American Minister at $1,200 per annum. "Of the appointments made from Indiana for servioe at Washington, the Third Auditorship of the Treasury was gives to Colonel John S. Williams, of Fayette, a soldier. In his office is audited more than $100,000,000, in fact, over one-third of the entire expenses of the Government, and his position is one of great responsibility and influence. "The best office under the Commissioner of Pensions, his first deputy, is filled by Colonel William E. McLean, of Terre Haute, another soldier, and the second ranking officer in the Grand Army of the Bepublic in Indiana. "For the most lucrative Federal office to be filled in Indiana I have long since recommended Colonel Zollinger, of Fort Wayne, and he will succeed General Kneffier in October as Pension Agent at Indianapolis. Colonel Zollinger went into the war a private, and came out at the end of it commanding a brigade. •. eiW "State Senator Faulkner,' of Bipley County, has been made Chief of a Division in the Pension Bureau. He l08 two sons, all he had, in the war an( a tender heart towards sol-^^a "Albert J. Kelley, of Haute, has a position in the Patent Office. His father, whom I kr ew well as a Democratic soldier faring the war, was torn to pieces by a shell in one of the desperate iro^-cl ad engagements on the Mississippi Biver, and his remains were louried in the waters. He left a widow with a family of small children, Albert, about thirteen years old at that time." "In seeking a Superintendent of the Government building at Terre Haute, the place was given to Mr. Havens, a soldier and a Grand Army man." "I have not been home since Mr, Hanlon entered on his duties as Collector of Internal Bevenue, and I am not advised as to all of his appointments. I can count four, however, at this distance who were soldiers and good ones, who will hold positions under him. Nor need any fears be entertained as to the course that will be pursued on this subject by the other Internal Bevenue Collectors of Indiana, Messrs. Hunter and Anderson. When the field is scanned, after a little while, including the postmasters and everything else, it will be found that the Democratic party has been as faithful to the soldier in the matter of offices as it has been in the matter of pensions. I have no- fear of the verdict of the soldier himself on thr. point."

In this connection the Senator's tention was called to the fact tb had been charged with favoring •jkn-e Haute, his own home, at the ex other parts of the state. "There is no justice in su-

V-* 11^^' in

lector of Internal Bevenue at Terre Haute. If I had been disposed to favor my own locality, would I have gone to southern Indiana for a Collector? The truth is, my own portion in the State of Indiana, solar as my duty to her is concerned, in only the same as any other to me. My gratitude to her people is not divided, nor defined by oounty, district lines, nor by sections of north, south, east or west. My only regret is that I am not able to do all I wish for them. "If any portion of the State, sectionally considered, has a right to complain it is Eastern Indiana, but there is time enough yet to do something handsome, I hope, for the gallant Democracy of the "burnt district" and its surroundings. As to Terre Haute, what has she obtained that an outcry should be made against her? John E. Lamb made two desperate races for Congress with a Republican majority of 2,500 against him. In 1882 he carried his district by nearly 300 majority, and in the Presidential year of 1884, he was defeated by onlv 150, while Blaine and Logan carried it by over 1,600. Such a record, in to brief a space, has rarely if ever been made in the history of Indiana. Those best acquainted with Mr. Lamb's ability and his services, thought best to recommend him for United States District Attorney, and he has been appointed. Colonel McLean and Mr. Kelley have positions at Washington, a? I have explained, and a timber agent has been appointed to a place worth about $1,300 a year. This is the sum total for which Terre Haute is chargeable on Federal account, and the pay of all of them added together will not equal one position given to Evansville. I see that the appointment of Mr. Hanna to Persia, and afterward to the Argentine Bepublic, is sometimes charged up to Terre Haute, but as he has lived at Crawfordsville the last four or five years, and Crawfordsville is ten miles nearer Indianapolis than it is to Terre Haute, I think he might better be charged to the capital than to us."

Passing from these personal matters Senator Voorhees spoke freely of Cleveland's administration and of its ultimate success. "Many," he said, "will be disappointed and offended for the time benig over the distribution of patronage it is the case with all new incoming administrations, and can not be helped. We may, and perhaps will, meet with some reverses at the polls within the next year, but in the long run I believe Cleveland will win and hold the confidence of his party, and a large majority of the American people, as an able, prudent, conscientious President* —Those-wte oomplain that lie moves slowly forget that he carries heavier weights than any er Democratic President ever in office before. They forget, or seem to forget that twenty-four yearu of bitter partisan leg-

power, all femains on the statute book, and constitutes a daily and hourly obstacle to tiie rapid action of a Democratic Executive. Then cornea the socalled,. civil service law, for which Mr. C.jveland is not responsible, but which by his oath of office he is compelled to enforce. He can not help but go so slow under the circumstances, but I have always found him looking and leaning in the right direction. I have differed from him and no doubt shall do so again, but that fact does not change my estimation of the purity of his motive, nor the soundness of his political principles." .r ,-.w

Dr. C. N. Metcalf, secretary of the State Board of Health, and Dr.. Pritchard, both of Ihdianapolis, jre in the city yesterday the guest of

Tjr,Knowiee,

the veterinary surgeon. They were on their way home from Br^^n^

where

they went to investigate the case of Wesley Jessup who c'jed on the lltti inst, with glander* The symptoms were described by the attending physician, and there now no doubt that Jessup died of (hat disease.

Four ye&r.a ago Jetttap was presented with^ a hova© by his father-in-law, and tt*.e nnirniU sickened and was eventually 'xilled. The other horses belonging to him. *ere similarly affected, as were two others belonging to his father-in-law. These animals were examined by

Drs. Pritchard and Metoalf, and were found to have glanders. Being given the alternative of killing or quarantining the animals, the owners chose the former, and the four horses were killed Saturday afternoon. Frank Payne, of Bockville, had a mule that had been sick for some time, and when Dr. Pritchard pronounced its disease glanders, the animal was immediately killed. Several parties learning that Indianapolis talent was in the county, called upon the doctors to examine their stock, but no further cases of glanders *were discovered. The parties whose stock were killed promised to disinfect their stables and do all in their power to prevent further contagion.

.Boiler Explosion.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 17.—The boilers on the steamer S. M. Felton exploded just after she had left her dock on her trip to Wilmington. A number of passengers were injured, though none fatally. A frightful panic ensued on the boat after the explosion. Two hundred persons were on bo ard. Many women and children were with difficulty kep from leaping overboard.

OBSCENE PICTURES.

A Raid On a Chicago Store.

Carrying the Fine Arts Beyond the Limits of Decency. CHICAGO, Aug. 15.—Yesterday afternoon two policemen, armed with a search warrant, arrested the proprietor of a well known periodical agency, and seized a hundred or more photographs which were displayed in the windows and which they charged were obscene. The case was called this morning and continued till the 18th on bonds of $200. The photographs displayed were mostly copies of French paintings exhibited in the Luxemburg and are all copies of celebrated paintings. The police department are of the opinion that while the pictures are not in themselves obscene they became so by being displayed in a window as much for purposes of advertisement as anything else. The window as dressed became a nuisance by attracting crowds of men and offending large numbers of women. The officers do not propose to interfere with the sale of the pictures to artists and others as desire them but say that they must not be openly displayed.

SWITCHING A SINGER.

Harry Golden Whips Miss $t. Quentin in a New 0rlean,s Theater. NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 17.—Aotors and people are still talking and laughing at the seriotls episode that occurred at the Spanish Fort Opera House night before last. "The Chimes of Normandy'" was on the bill, with Miss St. Quentin as prima dona, and Harry Golden, tenor. In the first act Miss St Quentin accidentally out out a scene where the tenor has a great chance to distinguish himself. This so enraged Golden, who was excited by wine, that in the next scene, when Miss St. Quentin was singing a solo, he came bounding on the stage and proceeded to lash the prima donna with a cowhide. The lady was so surprised that she at first-stood still, and thea realizing what it meant, ran screaming from the stage. Behind the scenes Golden kept up his whipping till carried off by the employes.

A DISTINGUISHED COW DEAD..

She Beat the Butler Record, was Worth $25,000, aid Had a Talented Appetite.

WASHINGTON, A*IG* 18.—Mrs. Samuel M. Shoemaker has lost by death from inflammation of qie lungs the world renowned cow. "Princess Second," which astonished the world by giving in seven days a yield of forty six pounds and ten and a half ounceeof butter. This test of her butter qualities was completed April 10,1885. Some time after the test the blankets were taken off rather suddenly, it is thought, and she took a cold from which she never recovered. She was a magnificent animal, of great vital ity and force, as well as a fine butter producer. One of the secrets of her immense yield of butter was her great vitality and appetite. During the very height of the test, when she was fed as large quantities of butter-producing food as it was thought she could safely bear, she broke loose one night &id consumed over 200 pounds of prepared fopd in a box in the stalls. About two years ago Mrs. Shoemaker refused $25,000 for her. She was eight years and six months when Bhe-died. She was an imported cow, bought at auction in New York for $4,800. She was of the celebreted Coomussle strain. Her last calf was sold during an absence from home of Mrs. Shoemaker for $10,000, but the sale did not stand, Mrs. Shoemaker refusing to ratify it on her return. 7JJ

MAXWELL'S IDENTITY.

Proven to be H. M. Brooks—His Defense. ST. LOUIS, Aug. 18.—A letter is published here today dated Sunnybank, Hyde, Cheshire, England, July 13th, 1885, and signed Samuel N, Brooks, which speaks of his son H. M. Brooks, having left home last January on a business trip to Ireland and that DO word had been received from him since. It had been learned however that he had the curate of the adjoining parish for a companion and that they had indulged in various extravagances and that Brooks'name had got mixed up with the "St. Louis trunk tragedy," and also got mixed up. with Doctor Maxwell.

The letter shows great distress oh the part of the writer and makes an urgent appeal for information in regard to the person concerned in the murder. A part of this letter was shown to Maxwell and he recognized the signature as that of his father and desired the possession of the letter to write his Father anfl tell him that he (Maxwell) was innocent of the murder of Preller and that he had a perfectly good defence.

In the course of a conversation. Maxwell—or as he is pretty definitely identified Brooks—said that Preller was troubled with insomnia and that he had prescribed chloroform for him on several occasions and with benefit. Preller, however, had heart disease, he said, and intimated that he had either taken, or had Administered to him, on this occasion, an overdose with fatal result. This will be Brooks' defense when he comes to triaL

A SINGULAR LIFE.

An Aged Irishman's Gift to His Church.

Death of Dennis Bowes, a Hermit, At the Age of Seventy.

Dennis Bowes, aged about 70, an eccentric Irishman who has led a peculiarly hermetical life in a queer little structure at the corner of Water and Chestnut streets for many years past, died on Sunday evening after a short illness, and was buried this morning from St. Joseph's Catholic church. He left a deed to two houses owned by him near whore he lived to Bev. Father McEvoy, pastor of St. Joseph's church, to be held by him iu trust and sold after his death, the proceeds to be divided as follows: two thirds to St. Ann's Orphan Asylum and one-third to the pastor of St Joseph's church. These tw^ houses are estimated to be worth at least $1,500, so that in the event of their sale for that sum $1,000 would go to the Orphan Asylum and $500 to the Catholic school. The deed was executed an the 20th of last May.

The deceased never married. He had lived in this city for about 20 years. He frequently consulted Mr. T. A. Anderson about his private business and Mr. Anderson was with him during his last illness. The place where he lived could not be described as a house. In fact, it would be hard to describe it as anything. It resembled a shed and was in the rear of one of his houses. He did his own cooking and washing. .The room where he slept was probably 6x10, The roof was patched with paper. This morning Messrs. T. A. Anderson and E. S. Eruey went up to the place, the former having been appointed administrator. -Mr. Anderson knew the deceased had three notes and a certificate of deposit somewhere, as he had executed them for him, and a search was commenced for them. Nothing was found in the hovel where the dead man had lived, but attention was directed to an underground cellar 15 feet back in the yard, where the deceased kept his pi'QYisionff, Down in this cellar Mr. Anderson une&rtllgd a small box covered over with chips from the stave factory. On opening it three notes and a certificate of deposit on a home bank for *$224, altogether amounting to about $700, were found. It is believed that m*re personal property of this character is in existence. It is singular that the deceased never left 'any word concerning its disposition. It is known that he had a brother in Ireland, but Bowes said recently he had not heard from him for twenty years, so that he may be dead. In that case the personal property of the deceased after the funeral expenses are paid, will go to this brother's children if he has any. Bowfes was of a singularly retiring disposition and nobody knew much concerning him. The only amusement he seemed to give himself was reading. In his early days he was a farmer.

A BOGUS TELEGRAM,

A Wire Tapped in the Woods and a Bank Defrauded Out of $5,000. BOSTON, August 18.—A fraud was perpetrated on the Sandy Biver National Bank, of Farmington, Me., two or three days ago. A man describing himself as Walter Wanser, of Portland, deposited $1,500 in the Exchange Bank, of this city, for which he obtained a certificate of deposit, and signified his desire to have it paid in Farminfrton, Me., and the Sandy Biver Bank was so notified by the Exchange Bank. Wanser then went to Farmington and had his certificate of deposit cashed. Having thus established his identity and the fact that he had had dealings with a reputable bank in Boston, he soon afterward said that he expected $5,000 more to be paid into the Exchange Bank, of which the Farmington Bank would be notified by telegraph. Some time afterward the telegram came. The cashier immediately paid by check and Wanser disappeared. After the check was delivered the cashier had doubts and telegraphed to Boston, receiving answer that the Exchange bank knew nothing of Wanser beyond the first certificate of deposit* It was supposed the dispatch had been sent by a confederate in Boston. The telegraph company, however, could get no trace of the message. Yesterday it was discovered that the wire between Portland and Farmingham had been cut in the woods and a loop put in. A telegraph instrument was found concealed near b. The sharper must have listened to what was said over the wire to get the message numbers, etc., right, in order not to excite suspicion. When he sent his bogus message it was correctly numbered to follow the last sent from the Portland

THREE TRAMPS.

And the Terrible Drubbing They Got. CBAWFOBDSVUIIIE, Ind., Aug. 18.— The residence of Noah Lockabill, on a farm near Browns Valley, was entered by tramps Sunday night. Lockabell was awakened by the noise, sprang from his bed, and closed with the one in the room. The burglar was reinforced by two others. Mr. Lockabill is a powerful man and flung the captured burglar against the two others in such a manner as to bring the three to the floor. Then he went at them with a club. His wife brought the clothes line and together they bound the tramps, sat down awaited for them to recover. When the tramps* regained consciousness, Mr. Lockabill asked them which they preferred, to be taken to Crawfordsville, and be placed in. jail where they stood the chance of several years in the ])enitentiary, or to be led out one at a time and receive such a whipping as he could administer* They chose the latter, and the farmer took them out, severally, tied them fo the gate post and administered one5 hundred lashes to each tramp with alarge new rawhide wagon whip. Each^ stroke of the whip raised a large weft on the back of the tramp and when thei operation was completed a pool of blood oould be seen where they had stood. Their piteous cries for mercy called in the neighbors until quite a little audience had assembled to witness the castigation of tramp No. 3. As all sympathized with the irate fanner, the performance went.on till he had ctmpleted the hundred lashes.

A PLUCKY PRIEST.

He Prevents Bloodshed in a Street Fight. YONKEBS, N. Y., Aug. 18.—Frequent fights have occurred during the past few months between strikers and men. who remained at work in the carpefr mills of Alexander Smith's Sons and at times the trouble has assumed the form of riots. Yesterday, while four workmen in the mills were returning home from work, they were attacked' by a crowd of strikers, who threw stones and bricks at them. The four men were able for awhile to keep their assailants at a distance, but finally one of the workmen named Shipman, was compelled to draw his revolver near the parsonage of St. Joseph's Catholic church Shipman says he was hit on the head with a stone by a striker named John Hogan, and Jacob Welsh, another striker, hit him with his fist. "I turned and fired my pistol at Hogan," Shipman says, "but didn't hit him. I tried to fire again but the pistol did not go off. I had the pistol ready to shoot again, when I heard some one call out "Put up that pistol or you're a dead man." then saw the Bev. Anthony Malloy pointing a gun at me from a second story window of the parsonage. I put the pistol in my pocket and hurried along with the crowd howling after me. I was soon overtaken by Father Malloy, who dispersed the cr^wd, disarmed me and took me to the station house for safe keeping."
