HnAiana's Preacher Congressman.

llHulhHapoIls NeWSs hSp.I
The Congressrnan-elect from the Seventh
Indiana District, Gilbert De La Matyr, has
been twenty nine years q M Methodist preacher.
and went from the pulpit in this city to the
stump In this district last July on receiving
the National nomination; q month later the
Democrats in convention also nominated him.
He has made an active canvass and WOE many
votes on his personality. His chief charac-
teristic might be called f'masculinitv," il the
term is allowable. He Is six feet high and
in flesh, strides when he walks. He has dark
hair; short rt-crODped side~whiskers, reddish
brown in color; high cheek bones; face full
OF deep-set lines; small blue eyes that
seem to smolder, ready to blaze when ne adj
vocates his cause. His lower jaw closes like
wise and seems to open sparingIy for his
words, which he utters in deep bass voice
that gets lower instead of higher when he
reaches q climax. In speaking he does not
seem to warm up to his subject so much as
to be on fire with it from the start, whether
he is talking religion Or politics Heis not
graceful speaker, either In manner or method:
has few gestures, and is so devoid of the COM
monest tricks Of oratory that he would be

NEW YORK. Oct. 16.---Corporation Counsel
Whitney sent to the police com missloners his
opinion on points raised when Kelly and Low
ell. OF tho Turf Exchange, were arrested on the
toga, races. Justice Murray discharged them
on the ground that there was no proof of the
races. Whitney thinks itswas not necessary to
prove this. The mistake was in not proving
that pool selling came within the prohibition Of
the act of 1877. He PROPOSES to consult with the
commlssi0ners in reference to future cases. and

that they, materially add to the hard times
They are large enough to do So The general
increase of the wealth of the country is
reckoned at $70O.000O0 annually in ordinary
times, though in dull times like these it is not
as it may be named, amounts to nearly thrtv irt1
per cent of our entire increment which cannot
be far from the sum of the tax levied upon
European nations. There is no good reason
why the losse by fire should be- over $4,000 900
or less. Fortunately these losses are diminished
