ant, Arrested on n Criminal Charge.
INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. S.-The arrest of w. E.
English, son of Hon. w. II. English, and lately
candidate for congress against Hon. Stanton ].
Peelle, on charge preferred by Elizabeth u.
Williams, has given rise to no end of gossip,
much of which is not at all complimentary to
the young gentleman. There are circumstances
in connection with the arrest of young Eng
lish which give color to his claim that
it is blackmailing scheme, and that
the woman took this plan to extort money
from him. Her withdrawal of the charge
within few hours after the swearing out of
the affidavit, in which she specifically alleges
that the son of his father-is the author of
her unborn babe, has not yet been explained
and suspicion prevails that she got what she
wanted and then drew out of the game. Tie
woman claims that she met Will English
few months ago. and that during a visit
she paid him in his opera house, he ac-
complished her disgrace, the theater stage
being chosen as the scene of the outrage
Those who are acquainted with the parties to
the scandal do not put much credence in her
story. The date fixed lends an air of improb-
ability to other parts Of the recital. The de-
fendant Is ray and festive young man whose
escapades and amours have made him locally
notorious, bu. with all his faults he is
well liked. His awful dad" has stood
between him aud retribution on more
occasions than one, and there was time when
he was a mark for designing persons of every
description. When he married Annie Fox, the
variety song-and-dance artist, three or four
years ago. it was generally supposed he had
sowed full crop of wild oats, but the devel-
opments of the past few days would indicate
otherwise. 1t is not known what further
steps will be taken in the case, or whether
prosecution has been stopped finally.

Old Hut Cool.

The sudden apathy which seems to have over
taken democratic civil-service reformers, again
reminds Mr.. Townsend of his story about two
deacons, a narrative which is quite appropos,
though somewhat musty perhaps. Deacon
A is represented as taking Deacon B
to one side, and expostulating with
him about the conduct of his family
carriage horse. "You mustn't let your old
horse Craze out there in the lane" said Deacon
A, earnestly; " it sets a very bad example for
your neighbors, who look upon you as their
model in many things. They will see your
horse running at large, and they will very soon
conclude to turn out their horses and cattle
and pigs perhaps, and it will not be long be-
fore the public highway is converted into a
common pasture. You must think more,
Deacon, about your position and the duty you
owe the community, and set better example.
You really should take your horse in--and
besides ] want the grass for my yearling heif-
ers," While the republican horse was grazing
in the lane there was occasion for a great up
roar but now that the democratic heifers are
in sight of the promised pastures lamentations
are out of season.

Stack, the proprietor of resort in Twenty.
seventh street, wound up nights corousal in
Matthew's saloon, at Second avenue and Twen.
ty-seventh street, at o'clock this morning
All were more or less heated by liquor. A
quarrel sprang up between Stack and Rookie
in which the former is said to have been the
aggressor. 1t took bitter turn and after a
war of words Stacks contemptuous declaration
that he could lick any prize-fghter in the
crowd" precipitated fight. Pistols were
drawn and rush was made for the street
There several shots were fired, and Stack
fell shot in both arms. At this sight the
crowd scattered in all. directions. Half an
hour after the fight John Stack drove to the
Twenty street police station in coach
and lodged a complaint against Rookie for
having shot him. A policeman was sent with
the wounded man to Bellevue hospital, hut
as no surgeon was to be found there at that
hour in the morning the party were driven
to the New York hospital in West Fifteenth
street. There Stacks wounds were dressed
pistol bullet had passed through each arm,
but had not broken any bones. The wounds
were severe but not dangerous. Stack re-
mained in the hospital. The police sought
for Rookie vainly until after o'clock, when
they learned that he was at his house, No. 321
East Twenty street There he was
found and arrested by Roundsman Hickey.
He went quietly to the station house, where
charge of felonious assault was made against
him. Rookie stated that Stack had attacked
him and shot at him first, and that he had
fired in self-dclcnse. The police are inclined
to believe his story. Capt. Clinchy took the
prisoner to the Fitty-seventh street court, but
Justice Iiilbreth being absent returned with
him to the Twenty-second street station, where
Rookie was locked up at noon.

ENGAGED TO DRESS ACTRESSES.
IIantlmnidens who Serve the Ladies' OF t,As
Ballet at Fifty Cents n Night.

Neio York Sttn.
Women Of various ages, variously dressed,
and varying in personal appearance crowded
about the stage door Of the Academy Of Music
yesterday morning. They had come in re-
sponse TO the following advertisement:
UTANTED-Ten ladies' able to dress actresses.
wv Amply tomorrow to Mile. Isaia, Academy ef'
Music, Fourteenth street.
The applicants climbed up three flights Of
curious winding staircase. Long corridorsi
that resembled the halls of q hotel branched
off from the staircase, and there were num-
crous little rooms in the corridors. Some OF
the doors were shut and locked, others were
wide open and revealed glimpses of the ac-
trcsses' rooms. In one place q number OF
graceful girls were trying on dresses before
mirrors and laughing and chatting. In tho
last room at the end of the third corridor sat
Mile. Isaia of Col. Mapleson's company.
The apartment looked like dressmaker's
workrOom. Lots of dresses worn by ballet
girls and members of the opera chorus hung
on the walls. Seamstresses were busy sewing
stage garments. An Italian gentleman in
his shirt sleeves, standing between o table
and a gas stove on which irons were heating,
Sls busy with big shears and bigger paste-
pot liking up paper patterns. Mile. lsaia,
who was dressed in brown, with q lace collar
caught by u jewcled brooch, received the ap-
plicants She speaks but little English. Her
facial expression underwent all changes, from
contentment to great irritation, as she tested
the ability of the callers to be ladies' dressers
After time the ten needed were selected,
but others kept coming. In captivating Eng
lish Mile. Isaia said to the reporter:
"Zc gentleman will hev to zee re Col Ma
pleson."
The colonel was busy, but Sig. Angelo said;

amount to anything. Anybody can do it, II

Thought Old Alec wouldn't DO.

dNuhM 1ppCdA
Soon after the entrance of the train con-
tanning the great commoner, a countryman
was sighted on the rear end of the back car,
prominently perched on top of the bumper,
gazing with look of mingled admiration
and awe into the face Of Henry Grady. who
was making his exist through the doorway.
After a minute and gratifying survey of
the noble physique of the Apallo of the
local press, he lost all consciousness of his
humble station and gave way to the heroic
promptings of patriotic spirit. He ven.
tured:
Governor, can have the honor of shak-
in hands with you, secin' as I've come a
good ways to do it, and might not never havo
the chance of approachin' you again?"
Certainly, sir; but l am not the govern
or-hcre he comes now"
Is that him?"
THAT is Gov Stephens"
"Well, I'll be derned."
"What did you remark" ?"
"Pd hearn he was a prodigy, but if that's
the biggest man they could put up for gov
ernor of Georgy | think we'd better leave the
state, for the countrys degeneratin."
"We don't estimate a statesman by his
physical developments; it's the brain. The
governor has the greatest brain in Georgia."
81 don't care nothin' about brains; but the
idea of man being governor that's got to be
carried aroun like bundle o. clothes"

FALLING INTO LINE.
An UnmistnknbIc Tone I'm the Temper OF
the 0HaIf-Brccd" Prcss

the "HaIC-Brccd" Press.
Ne,O York correspondent Philadelphia Ledger.
An uumistakable change of temper, on the
part of the so-called Garfield "half.breed'
republicans, toward the "stalwarts," is one of
the most noticeable phenomena in New York
politics for the moment. l do not alludo
merely to the recent utterances of individuals
in favor of "burying the hatchct," and
smoking the pipe of peace and all that, but
rather TO the altered tone of the leading or
gans. In the Albany Epening journal of to-
day you have n striking eXempliiication of
what is meant. That paper, as everybody
knows, has only been second to the Tribune
here in championing the "half-brecd cause;
but now, all of sudden, AS If under some
powerful occult influence, it is anxious to for
get the past and to let bygOncs be bygones.
With the administration even 1t IL
charmed. The Presidents message is
commended as "calm and sensible, with
out any trace of unmanlincss," and
ION every side" we are told there is
a desire to forget ugly words" and to be-
lieve that peace and strength are really conf
ing to us from the administration" The edi-
tor then adds "To none could the promise Of
q new order of things bring more comfort
than TO us. Nor is it possible for us to over
state the strength of our hope that the signs
of to-day are to be justified in their fullest
measure in the future" 1t is true all this is
coupled with a great deal of advice to the
President about getting rid of the dull, vi
cious mon" who still hang about him, and
whose attempt at leadership well nigh
wrecked everything" but aside from this the
aspiration for peace and concord is uppermost
And, as the journal is u great power with the
republican party in this state, its policy, you
may be sure, will be speedily adopted by all
the lesser lights. These changes in the po-
litical currents here are worth recording.
They have direct reference to tine next prcsi-
dental campaign, and if the democratic lead
ers have any clearness of vision they will be
exceedingly careful how they undertake their
significance in their ultimate application to
themselves and their party.

Secretary Chandler.
Boston Traveller.

Secretary Chandler is thoroughly imbued
with this in one sense sentimental, yet emi-
nently practical, idea of recreating the Ameri-
can Navy. New Englander himself, he
certainly strikes n sympathetic chord in this
section of the country, in his vigorous and
urgent appeal for an effort to rebuild our
maritime prosperity. An abstract of his able
and exhaustive report on this subject was laid
before our readers in the supplement issued
with yesterdays Trareiler. 1t may be truly
said that the figures that tell the story of the
decay of our shipping interests are not new
Nevertheless by restating them in his char
acteristically forcible aud telling way, and
placing them before the people with the
weight of his official authority, Secretary
Chandler has done the country valuable
service.

A Communication.

Ed. SENTINEL: The article which APP
peared in Monday evenings Leader, under
the title of "Not a Perquisite," deserves
an answer. 1t is a question Of considera-
bic moment at this time. The writer
seems to be laboring under a delusion.
He admits that one is wanted in the per-
son of County Superintendent of Schools
who will devote himself to the interests
and satisfaction of both pupils and parents.
Now who is better able to accomplish this
than o teacher himself-not one of the
has been," but a real, live practical
teacher-he to whom, if he performs his
duty, the improvements made in our pub
lilo school system, as we'll as improved
methods of teaching, are q constant study.
To him is accredited the progress or retro
gression of his pupils. Gould the me-
chanic, who is not a practical member OF
the bar, step into the lawyers office and
readily perform its functions to the salts
faction of the parties interested As for
the implied sneer in that word "perqui,
site" which is. in fact, the substance Of
the whole article, it hardly deserves men
ton. Surely, "the laborer is worthy his
his hire" TAXPAYER.
