Gigantic Real Estate Combination.

TaYIOrYlIIe Special.
There is now being rapidly completed in
the middle, Western, Northwestern and 9th
er States one of the most gigantic and i'm
portant amalgamations among real-estate
men ever attempted in this country. The
real-estate agents have formed a united
agency" for the purpose of protection to
themselves and the real-estate buyers. The
agency will have a member in each county
seat and town of Importance in each State.
Mr.. J, n G. Shumway, a well-known real
estate man of Taylorville ILL.,, is the secre-
tary OF this organization, and says that the
association is being made up of the very best
real-estate men in the country, who are
quick to see the great advantages offered by
the age ncy which could nof possibly be Sc
cured in any other way. The organization
will ultimately be extended to all the States.

Dav id Davis and His Bride to Make Tour
of California


Special to the Indianapolis Journal
BLOOMINGTON, March 29.-There is some
pleasureable excitement here to-day, from
the probability that Senator Davis and his
new wife will arrive in few days. His resi-
dence has recently been elegantly reftted
and furnished, and his office furniture has
within the past few days been received from
Washington. However, it is by no means
certain that they will come here from St
Louis before going to California.
1t is learned tonight. from a member OF
the Davis family, that the Senator and his
bride will not come to Bloomington until
after they have made a tour OF California.

Horrible Double Murder Near Alton.

st. Louis Special 18th.
News reached St. Louis tonight from Alton,
ILL.,. of a horrible double murder committed at
Rock Fork, a colored settlement about six
miles from Alton. George Depugh, young
man, was the son of the colored preacher OF
the settlement. The preacher and his family,
excepting George, went away from home
Tuesday evening" to be gone all night.
George, not caring to remain alone, invited a
neighbor Tom Anderson, about his own age,
to spend the night with him. Preacher De-
pugh did not get home until the middle of
the forenoon to-day, when they found the
house shut up and had some trouble in
getting inside. When they finally effected
an entrance a horrible sight met their view.
There lay the two men in bed, both with their
brains beaten out, and the little cabin pre-
sented more the appearance OF a slaughter
pen than human habitation. The perpetra-
tors of the crime and the motive are hidden
in mystery, though of course there are many
rumQrs and several suspected parties. The
theory that finds most believers is that the
crime was committed for robbery, as there
was a report current that the colored
preacher had considerable money concealed
about his house. News of the crime reached
Alton this evening, and the coroner went out.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
FRANKLIN March 29-On Tuesday even
ing last, while some boys were playing in
West Franklin, son of James Utterback,
aged twelve years, fell upon a nail, which
was pointing upward through board. The

nature. Inflammation having set in, the
attending physician has fears the boy cannot
recover.

to the country to hold an inquest upon the
body of an infant of Abram Hummel. This
morning Mrs Hummel, the mother of the

WASHINGTON, March 29.-James Gold was
by Arthur Beddoe Esq, mayor of this city,

and as the bright flames from the great
wood fire sent their reflection along the
walls, bringing into view the ancient
tapestry that overhung the windows,
and the suits of armor standing like
grim sentinels in the inches of the room,
it seemed as if the ghosts of long ago

about a show, no matter what he is doing,
will start and rush to the place that cry
comes from; and he will take any weapon
he can lay his hands on, too. Sometimes
tho parties that cause the trouble arc
knocked down and the matter ends, and
sometimes others take their part and the
fight lasts a long time. I've heard them
yell 'Hey, Rubel' many time, and seen
as bad fighting as did In the war. I was

Pere La CllAi8o.

A vast multitude of people visited
Gambetta's tomb at Pere 10 Chaise the
day after the interment, and it is evil
dent that the spot where he is buried
will for years be the one most sought
i'll cemetery which is known the world
over, and in which repose tho remains
of many of tho illustrious dead OF
France. In 1871 interments within the
limits OF French cities were prohibited,
and in 1904, when Louis XIV gave a
part of his estate to his confessor.
Pere de Lachalse, for cemetery, the
ground was outside of the city. 1t is
now i'll thiokly-settled suburb, and so
crowded that burial there is impossible
except to the wealthy. It is somewhat
remarkable that although Gambetta
had declared himself in favor of crema-
ton, nothing has been said since his
death about the cremation OF his re-
mains, The crowded condition of the
Paris cemeteries has resulted in the in.
PRODUCTION in the Chambers Of meas
ure to legalize cremation. In Mont
Parnasse and Mont-martre bodies are
placed above each other to the number
Of five or six. Pere Ia Chaise, situated
on m elevation which commands a view
OF the city Oh one side and of the coun-
try on the other, is the best known of
the cemeteries of Paris, and in it were
buried Abelard and Heloise, LaFonta,ne,
Moliere, Beaumatchais, Bellinl, Weber,
Laplace, Cuvier, Marshal Ney, and
many others whose names are familiar
in all lands. Time will doubtless make
the grave of Gambetta less conspicuous
than others contained in the famous
cemetery, but during the present gener-
alton it will be the centre Of interest in
Pere la Ohaise.

his vote as often as there was on cleo

affected by one or two unconfrmed rumors not

succeeded, however, in keeping prices more or
less steady and resisted anything like a serious
decline. In consequence of this, the amount of
business done has been of a limited character
and confined almost entirelyto the room trad
