BLOOUSHED IN INDIANA.
Political Discussion Leading to Murde

Political Discussion Leading to Murder
Charges and COuntercharges.
Political excitement has become intense
in Indiana and eliminated on Saturday in
two serious affrays at Shelbyville and one
at Evansville. 1t is difficult to get the real
facts, as SO much political bias exists that
the stories of the occurrences differ widely.
At Shelbyville the Republicans.san Green
hackers were both holding meetings. The
former was addressed by Gen. Ben IIar-
risOn and the latter by DR.. De. La Matyr.
In the afternoon number Of fights took
place in saloons between Republicans and
Democrats. At one of them Sheriff Nc
COrkle interiered, and was leading away
Ed. Kennedy, a young man who was prin-
cipal in one of the fights. when Il second
disturbance arose, in which several shots
were fired, one Of which struck Sheriff Nc
Corkle in the breast and he died. Kenne-
dy was accused Of firing the fatal shot.
McCOrkle being a Democrat and Kennedy
a Republican the most bitter feeling is
aroused, and parties are cut seeking Ken
nedy, who will doubtless be lynched if
found. Deputy Sheriff Addison Lee was
badly bruised in the course of the atiray.
In Evansville Edward Rouse, river
pilot, and Oscar Shorter, 4 colored man,
had shooting aliray last night. in which
both were wounded, Rouse in the breast
and Shorter in the head. 1t is said Rouse
began the quarrel and fired twice at Shor-
ter before the latter drew his pistol. Shor-
ter then fired twice at Rouse, hitting him
in the breast and also badly woundins
Thomas ROwden, one of Rouse's friends.
Shorter went to Jail and gave himself up.
He was followed by mob and yesterday
was secretly removed to avoid lynching.
Rouse's wound is not necessarily fatal.
A dispatch from Evansville, Indiana, to
the Gazette says Last night Ed. Mills,
rough, knocked down IN old man of sixt ~
six years in Nicholas Hissers saloon.
Hissel orlersd Mills out of the saloon,
whercupon the latter drew knife and
plunged it into Hissers breast, inficting
wound from which he died last-night. Mills
escaped.

On Saturday evening the juvenile Dem
Ocrats of the city, numbering in all about
six hundred, assembled together in Centre
Square, which bore quite an animated ap-
pearance !; the torches lighting up the scene
with lurid flame, drums beating with mar
tial tone and handsomely equipped young
sters hurrying hither and thither to take
their places in the column, which moved
with orderly precision about half past
seven. Many of the clubs were regularly
organized and carried Transparent
cies bristling with patriotic in
scriptiOns that declared the firm adhesion
of the little chaps to the Democratic doc
trines of their sircs. The paratlers all car
ricd torches, and the greater portion of
them were fully equipped. the Seventh
ward lads looking especially handsome in
their neat uniform. The parade visited
every ward in the city, and all along the
route the boys, whose ages ranged from
six years to sixteen, were enthusiastically
welcomed. There was a modest display Of
fireworks from the ranks, and at many
points the arrival of the parade was greet
ed with handsome illumination, the boys
acknowledging the compliment by vOcifer-
Gus cheers. The boys are growing up in
the way they should go, and there is 10
danger Of their departing from it when
they shal! have arrived at mans estate.
With their fathers they are solid for Han
cock.

THE Republican head of the interior
department gives to the public the re-
suits of that departments investigation
into the alleged census fraudsm South
Carolina. The result of the investigation
has been to discover only that the census
was taken just as fairly there as here,
and that the apparently enormous in
crease of population is due to the fraud
ulent and careless manner in which the
Republican carpet-bag marshals had
taken the census of 1870. Already then
it was calculated that there We're only
" four more years. of good stealing'' in
that state. and the carpet-bag deputies
cut down the census to rob the Demo-
cratic party Of their fair representation.
The lie that the census was unduly
swelled has been repeated in the Repub-
lican press and by their stump orators of
that party, especially Conkling. They
get their answer and their quietus from
an administration of their own party. It
will be interesting to see how they will
all dodge any retraction of their false
charges.

BUSINESS MEN,

Who do Not Believe In Arrayins Political
Passions Against Business Interests.
The national Democratic committee re-
ceived the following despatch late Saturday
night from Lewis c. Cassidy:
"PHILADELPHIA, October Q.
"Io Hon. W. L. Scott:
Twenty thousand merchants, manu-
facturers and business men of Philadel-
phia are now in session, presided over by
Henry B. latham, the head of the largest
house in the country. They protest
against the assertion that the business or
financial interests have anything to fear
from the election of General Hancock,
but, on the contrary, that his election is
the only way to bring peace to the whole
country and permanent prosperity to all
business interests"
The following was received Sunday
morning:
ERIE, Pa, October 10.
"70 Hon. w. L. Scott:
''At the business meeting here last night
Judge Galbraith, of the Erie car works
and the Burdett organ company Orange
Noble, of the Noble & Hall boiler works !;
John II. Bliss, of the Erie City iron works,
and a large number of business men,
mechanics and laborers Of the city We're
present at the Republican headquarters
and ready to discuss the business
issues. After considerable confusion
a pretended chairman Of the meeting
declared the same adjourned. The
business men, mechanics and laboring
men then proceeded to Scott's hall and
elected J. H. Bliss, Of the Erie City iron
works, chairman J. p. Harrington, of
the Erie forge works; William Henry,
of the South Erie iron works; Orange No

James McCastel, vice presidents, and II.
B. Brown, of the Observer and Thomas
O'Brien, of the Ecen;ng Herald, Sc cretaries.
The following resolution was unanimously
adopted:
"' Resolced, That We, the business men
of Erie, assembled without distinction Of

san efforts now being made by politicians
to involve the business and manufacturing

''Great Indignation is felt here among

PERSONAL,

Mr.. GEORGE BANCROFT, the venerable
historian, will probably head the list of
Hancock electors in Rhode Island.
Justice CIIFFoRD's condition continues
to improve. He sat up and shaved him-
self yesterday. His physician said last
evening that he may be expected to re-
sumo his seat on the supreme bench in the
course of a week.
Dan GARDNER, the circus clown, and
father-in-law of the late famous actor,
Edwin Adams, died of paralysis at At
lantic city on Friday. He was 64 years
old, tho senior Of the clowns and began
stage life as comic songstcr.
General HANCOCK says that he has had
only one application for office as yet, and
that was from man who wished to go as
minister to Corca. He had understood
that every white man, on landing there,
had his head taken, and he desired the op-
Grafton performed on himself.
Colonel ROBERT p. DEcHEEr, Demo-
cratic candidate for auditor general,
spoke in Hollidaysburg Oh Saturday night,
and at the conclusion of his address COL
onel John A. Lemon, his Republican op-
ponent, took him by the arm and intro
duced him to his friends, and aftcrward
entertained him at his residence.
AMONG the prominent Rhode Island Re-
publicans who have declared for Hancock
are ex-United States Senator Sprague, ex-
Lieutenant Governor Sysson and Colonel
Samuel r. Honey, Of Newport. Colonel
Honey writes that Hancock will be the
first Democrat he ever voted for, but that
it is time to fight against the sectional;sm
Of the Republican party.
The Chicago Tribune printed I. para.
graph stating that ALEXANDER MITCHELL
the prominent banker of Milwaukee, and
Marshal Field, of Chicago, are reported as
converts to the Republican cause. Mr..
Mitchell telegraphed the Tribune as fol-
lows: "Your paragraph this morning
stating am going to vote for Garfield, is
entirely without foundation. shall take
great pleasure in casting my vote for Han
cock and English, believing as do that
their election will best promote the wclfa,e
of the whole country" Mr.. Mitchell saws
that Mr.. Field will also support the Dem
ocratic ticket.
Ex-Governor GAsToN deserves credit for
his manly and patriotic action in with
drawing from the race in his congressional
district, which would, had there been two
Democrats in the field, have returned a
Republican. Similar praise should be ac-
corded to Mr.. Hazeltine for his loyal be- /
'avior towards Congressman Miles Ross,
Who defeated him in the nominating con-
'ention Of the Third New Jersey district.
such excellent examples should he imita-
ed in the few districts where the Demo-
rats are running two candidates. Let

The notice caught the casual glance

In accordance with the latest rapid
transit plan in Brooklyn, devised under
the auspices of commission appointed by
the mayor, subscription books for the cap
ital stock ~, t,OOO, 600, divided into 10, 600

Within one minute after the books were
opened Charles r. Flint, of the firm of
William Grace & Co., of Wall street, en-
tered, and, producing twenty-scven
powers of attorney, subscribed for the en-
tire stock of the corporation.
The INTELLlGENcER's earnest depreca-
tion of the local attempts to introduce par
tisan views into the purely business rela-
tions of our every day life = and "to influ-
ence public sentiment against business ill.,
terests' for political reasons, seems to
meet with the very general appreciation of
the "business men " of the community, as
is evidenced by the recent increase of 100
copies in the large daily sales of the IN
TELLIGENCER over the counter and an
average daily increase of dozen subscrib-
crs during the week.
THERE is far from happiness in the Re-
publican camp. The capture of Garfield
and the conduct Of the campaign by the
Grant men is admitted by the anti-Grant
Republicans. Schurz is one Of the deeply
disgusted. Sherman doesn't care whether
Garfield is elected or not. He won't shed
any tears if he is not. Blaine and his
friends are working without heart. They
recognize the fact of Garfield's surrender
to the Grant gang and while they will
keep up appearances and do the best cam
paign work they can, none of their secret
influences will be used in Gartield's be-
half. The worst sold man, however, of
the whole lot is Bill Chandler. The Eng
lish language is not capable of expressing
Chandler's feelings.

"A Horse HUNS Through q Saloon Glass
Door.
Graybill Bickhart drove into the city
from Lititz, this morning, with fine gray
horse hitched to a buggy. As he went to
turn from East Chestnut street into North
Queen an engine scared the horse and he
dashed forward, his driver almost losing
control of him. Bickhart held on and the
horse plunged down street until he was al
most beyond his drivers power to stay his
flight. The scraping of the buggy wheels
on the railroad track further affrlghted
him, and when opposite Fred. Waltz's
McGrann house, partly to stop him and in
part to avoid collision with vehicle
standing there, Bickhart pulled him in
toward the curb. The horse broke for the
saloon door, crashed out the windows on
either side of the double door and struck
the floor with his front feet, breaking
quite hole in the floor, through which
went one of his legs, badly skinning it.
Beyond this and tho kicking off of the
dasher and a slight "barking'' of Mr..
Brickhart's finger, no serious damage was
done. A large crowd gathered and much
excitement ensued over the novel specta-
Gle of horse and buggy plunging into a
bar-rOom. As Mr.. Waltz does not furnish
" entertainment for man and beast" the
horse was promptly taken out.

Proeadent Of One 0f Two New York City
Banks Whose ChArters Near Date OF
the Last Century.
One Of the Sunday papers of New York
has the following obituary notice of the
late deceased brother of A. ]. and H. W.
Harberger, of this city:
John S. Harberger, president of the
Manhatten company bank, 40 Wall street,
died at his country residence, at Plaintield
Nd, Saturday morning. His illness was
OF short duration. He left the bank for
the last time week ago, Thursday, suffer-
ing from cold, which he thought he had
contracted while crossing the ferry. Ma
larial fever developed and proved fatal.
MIR. Harberger was native of Philadel-
phia, and was sixty -one years of age. He
came to this city when q young man, and
began his career in Wall street as a clerk
in the United States bank. Among his
fellow clerks in that bank were James NJ.
Morrison, who resigned the presidency of
the Manhattan company year ago Henry
F. Vail, president Of the Bank Of Com
merce, and C. w. Duer, formerly presi-
dent of the Bank of the State of
New York. Mr.. Harberger remained
in the United States bank until
its affairs were wound up, and in
1912 accepted position in the Manhattan
company, which was offered him by his
former fellow clerk, Mr.. Morrison, who
was then cashier of the bank. His first
position was that of assistant transfer
clerk. In 1857 he was made assistant
cashier, and in 1860 was promoted to be
cashier, the position having been made va
cant by the death of Caleb O. HaIsted.
After discharging the duties of that office
for nineteen years he was elected president
a year ago the first of the present month.
Mr.. Morrison, whose health had become
seriously impaired, resigned from that
position.
A gentleman who has been in the en-
ploy of the bank for thirty years said that
he never knew Mr.. Harberger to lose his
temper or speak harshly to any of his
assistants, even under the most trying cir
cumstances. Mr.. Harberger leaves wife,
two daughter and son. The bank of
which he was president is the second oldest
in the city, and one of two the charters of
which bear date of the last century.
