Improbable Story About Mr. Voorhees Indianapolis Special to Pittsburg Dispatch It is stated here, on the authority of a gentleman from Terre Haute, that Hon. Daniel W. Voorhees will retire from public life at the end of his senatorial term. The reasons given are advancing age and ill health. He will resume his law practice, but will only engage in important cases before the higher courts. ..- -v .-j.

Mr. Voorhees has been in public life for thirty years, as Oongerssman, Attor-ney-genferal of the State and United States

Senator,

displaying great ability

in eaoh of these positions. His induction to official station was attended by great'diffioulty and discouragement. He was twioe defeated for Congress in {the old Eighth district by James Wilson.

He then removed to Terre Haute, then the Seventh district* but at firet met with no better success. As soon as the Democratic party found itself in the majority Mr. Voorhees was nominated and elected to Congress, and was reelected until transferred to the Senate. He is an Ohio man by birth, but was taken to Fountain county, Indiana, by his parents when a small boy. He studied law uoder the late E. A. Hannegin.

Mr. Voorhees was born a Democrat, and has consistently stood by the party in all of its vicissitudes. His retirement will be an occasion of regret to the people of Indiana, regardless of party ties.

Membership Falling Off'

NEW YOBK, Deo. 29.—A Montreal speoial says: Owing to the opposition of the Roman Catholic church, and the refusal of the olergy to admit members of the Knights of Labor to the rights of the church, inoluding the Christmas retreats and the communion, the membership of many of the French lodges in this district has fallen off. It is stated that the cure of one of the city parishes refused the Christmas communion to over a thousand of his parishonera who were members of the organization. The majority of them consequently severed their connection with the order, and were admitted to the sacred rite. A prominent member of the Knights of Labor informed the World correspondent yesterday morning that the officials of the Order in Montreal recognize the fact that this continued opposition of the church and consequent defeotion of the members must shortly lead to the dissolution of the French lodges.

Miss Nettie Houston came up Saturday and went over to Terre Haute, returning and going back to West Union Sunday evening.—Clark Connty Herald.

Mrs. Ellen McCoy and daughter, of north Thirteenth Street, left today for St. Paul, Minn., where they will make their future home.

SALVATION ARMY.

They Take up Quarters on South Fourth street—How They are Received. The Salvation Army has mustered recruits and is now holding meetings in the old German Lutherian churoh, on the corner of Fourth and Swan streets. The quiet citizens of that neighborhood who were ignorant of the band's idea of expounding the gospel were greatly alarmed a few nights ago on hearing loud noise issuing from the old churoh building. Some of the neighbors rushed over to the churoh expecting to witness something that would oause their hair to stand on ends "like quills upon the fretful porcupine," but instead of any blood-curdling sights they beheld the Salvation Army holding forth in all its glory. To aVoid further intrusion in the good work the Army has placed a recruit at the door.

No doubt is entertained of the marriage, qpd the lady's friends have whispered enough to warrant the impression that Thursday of this week is the day selected. Mrs. Holt has no desire, it is understood, to reach Washington until after the New Year's ordeal at the capitol is over."

Dec. 29—The details of

sensational tragedy, resulting in the death of two young girls who will be buried in Mount Hope cemetery tomorrow, are printed this morning. The matter, although known to the authorities for some time, has been saoredly guarded, and not a breath of the affair has before been made phblic. Sadie Bigelow and Lizzie Hart, aged respectively 18 and 19 years, came to Boston two or three years ago and secured employment in a large dry goods house here. Sadie fell in love with a respectable business man of this city and they were married. Soon after, however, they separated, owing, it is said to the husband's abuse. The two girls went to New York and were employed there for a time in a large retail house, but returned to Boston where they formed the acquaintance .or, two young men. On Christmas night the four were together at a house on Bowdoin street and drank wine there Before separating they had a serious dispute. The men, however, put (the girls aboard a car enroute to tbes fouth end lodgings. The girls were inan excited state when they boarded the car and at once discussed with each other plans for taking their own lives. Leaving the oar they obtained two boxes of "Rough on Rats" at an apothecary shop, and hurrying to their room mixed the poison in their tooth brush mugs and swallowed it.

Sadie took an overdose and did not feel its effects as soon as did Lizzie who sank into a deep stupor. Sadie, realizing what had been done, rushed into the street and hurried back to the Bowdoin street house, where the young men still were. Finding them, she inplored them to hurry to the south end house and save Lizzie. By this time the poison was taking effect upon Sadie, and throwing herself upou the bed she writhed in fearful agony. Medical aid was summoned, but after six hours of suffering she died. The young men finally decided to go to Lizzie's house to break the news to her. They called there and, upon reaching Lizzie's room, she was found lying dead upon the bed.

VIENNA, Deo. 2$~-Austria is making great military prorations as rapidly and secretly as possible. The Vienna newspapers are forbidden to say a word on the subject. The government was given a credit of million and a quarter dollars to begin the purchase of repeating rifles, but it will take ten times that to complete tUs armament. What system lias been Ohosen remains a secret, but it is believed to be a modification of the Manuliojter. The Schulhoff rifle is well epokenfof by military men, and the inventor has gone to London where he is negotiating a larger order. Russia, it is reported, has refused to change her system, aild some persons argue from this thatjihe thinks war probable before the/ could be got ready. However, Russia lias made large purchases Nordenfeldt guns.

Whito nearly every one believes war probajMjft in the spring, and many believe writable, the military, as distinguisfafp from the political element, see no ^bjvvincing reason for war because thdrore of the old school that think war usnsjss, unless it results in the annexation tot a similar material advantage.
