FOREIGN NEWS AND NOTES,

A novel way of collecting taxes
has been hit upon by the Mayor of
Vadulesti, q small Roumaniau com
mun.tv. lie found much difficulty
in collecting taxes, until one day,
when the men were all in the fields,
he descended with twenty suborli-
mates upon their houses and carried
off their wives to his lock-up. When
the men returned from their work ut
night and discovered the desolation
which had been wrought, they all
with one accord went to the public
house to drown their sorrows, or,
perhaps. to celebrate their deliver
ance. But a few days afterward,
reflection having brought them to
their senses, they paid the taxes and
recovered their wives. II. Chro-

Murray IN May last with his wife
and son for trip to the coast. A
couple of days out, his wife dis
appeared during the night and it is
supposed that she fell overheard
while in a fit. This preyed on
deceased's mind and he couldn't stay
in San Francisco, so he and his son
returned on the mail steamer. Since
then he had not returned to his trade
as shoemaker, although lie apparently
intended to do so from his state
ments and actions. He constantly
brooded over his wife's decease, and
many night was heard calling her
by name and in the morning would
say he had seen her, and that she
had kissed him and asked him why
he did not come. He had been II
years married and they were very
fond of each other. He was staying
with his wife S sister Mrs. Strehl on
King street, and she seeing his state
of mind had taken away his revolver
and other articles. He was about
A years of age, and = native Of
Hartmansweiler, Waiblingen, Wur-
temburg, Germany. He left a little
money in care of one of his friends
and his life was insured. His only
son is 10 years old.
The revolver was chambered
Hopkins and Allen X l., and only
one chamber had been discharged,
the others were loaded.
Mrs. Singer and Mrs. Strehl, sis.
ters, and Mr.. Wilhelm at Hilo, q
brother, of his deceased wife are his
boys only relatives.
He was found lying on his bacl
on the floor, the revolver by his side
He had been in the habit of going tt

tended to.
The funeral took place at fou

Bridges Destroyed and Immense Damages
Resulting.

DETROIT, Mich, July 26-The calamity
threatened at Grand Rapids for the past two
or three days took place this morning. An
immense jam of logs, extending up Grand
river for miles, has been lodged against the
bridge of the Detroit & Grand Haven rail-
road 1t has been hoped the bridge might
resist the tremendous pressure, but it sue
cumbed this afternoon and went down with
a crash. The bridge at Grand Rapids of the
Chicago West Michigan followed suit. Mil
lions of feet of logs have gone down the
river with the flow and are almost certain to
continue, sweeping everything before them
and going into Lake Michigan. If this
proves true large additional number of
logs will be carried out at Grand Haven, as
well as the destruction of all bridges there.
The ultimate losses. it is feared. will reach
many hundred thousand dollars. The
calamity is unprecedented in its extent

"GUTRIPPAH" BROWN.

He Amuses the Capital with Complaints
About Attack His Honah.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, July 90 Washington Is in a
broad grin over the epistolary attack made
upon Gen eral Gresham through two or three
Democratic papers by Cunnel or Judge
Gutrippah Brown, of Georgia, in which the
Postmaster-general is charged with having
wounded the Gutrippah ''honah, by Gawd,
sah," and classed Southern Republicans as
blanked scoundrels. Brown is a great blow
hard, and his ombastic letter is an unadul-
terated lie from beginning to end. He called
on the Postmaster-general and exerted his
powerful influence i'll behalf of the Louisiana
Lottery concern. During the interview the
gentleman from Georgia was as pacific as a
lamb, and nothing was said to lacerate his
''honah," but later in the day he concluded
that he had been wounded as to his honah,
hence the absurd letter Kunnel Brown mar
rowly escaped being thrown through a win
dow of the Treasury Department not long
since for trying to bulldoze the appointment
clerk. Then, as now, mis- spirit of belligeren-
cy was not aroused until he was several
squares away from his victim.
Following is a copy of Browns letter:
Hon. alter Q. Gresham, Post master -General
Sir-Since your remRrks of yesterday, that
Southern Republicans were the damndest set
OF sooundrels who had come in my your way
since your advent into your present position,
self-respect will prevent me from calling in per-
son. You are certainly q type of the human
species from whence the sobrquet of "Hooaier"
has been given to IndlanIans, for in all my
travels on this continent and that Of Europe, I
have seen no man who could boast of fewer ac-
cOmplshments in civiity and pOliteRess than
yourself. Grant made great mistake in having
you appointed Postmaster-2eneral, Tor all men
OF sense with whom you have come in
contact agree that you are sans
common sense, sans law, and
sans deceucy. What pity for the nation that
Arthur, as was his inclination, did not appoint
LOngstreet or McIIaws, of Georgia, either one of
whom has integrity AID force of character thht
you nor none of your Indiana confreres can
boast of. Your native, natural and trained fool
Osity clearly nantes itself In your late decision
ia Post-Appeal Your daily contact with gentle
men of business qualifications, and of the world,
intenstf1es the opinion that you are an and a
bona hde Hoosier. An innate respect for idiots,
lunatics and dudes prevented me from slapping
your jaws incontinenty, yesterday, when you
expressed the HOOsier and contemplate idea
that "all Southern Republicans were scOun-
drels." Had Grant or any other man for whom
| entertained respect manifested the same spirit,
should have downed him on the spot.

THE SENATORIAL STRUGGLE.
A Conference Of Republicans Consider It
Beneficial to the Party.

CONCORD, N. H., July 26.-The thirty-ifth
joint ballot for United States senator, TO-
day, was without result Mr.. Chandler lost
votes from the last ballot yesterday, Tap
pan and Patterson 90 Burns gained 2,
Pike % and Marston 2. The majority of the
Republican members of the Legislature held
a conference, this morning, to consider the
senatorial question. Several members took
the ground that the struggle was injuring
the party, but General Marston felt con-
WINGED that the struggle would prove heath
full to the party, and some good Republican
would soon be elected. Speaker Eastman
was satisfied that a caucus could not be held
upon majority basis, and would therefore
favor requiring a two-thirds vote to nominate
a candidate should such a meeting be held.
General Stevens, of Nashua, said the senate
raj caucus was a thing of the past in New
Hampshire, and he was willing to go before
the people of the State on that issue. Pres
ident Bartlett said the conference had been
fruitful in good results.

Senator Edmunds's Argument in Favor OF
Government Lines.
Washington Special.
Some remarks of Senator Edmunds in
reference to government ownership of tele-
graph lines are of special interest at this
time. In speaking of this matter during the
last session of Congress, Mr.. Edmunds said:
what the United States, in regard to its
postal affairs and the welfare of its people,
needs to do more than anything else is the
construction of postal telegraph, beginning
moderately, between the great points in the
country and all intermediate points, and
then extending it just as we have
the mail system, as the needs of the commu-
nifty and fair economy would require, until
every postoffice in the country should have
or be within immediate reach of postal tele-

what will be done within a very few years,
beyond all question. But | beg the stock

re-
ginning of the End.
New York, July 26.-By a majority of
persons the surrender of the American
Rapid Telegraph Company to the demand
of the strikers is regarded as certain indi-
cation that the strike is nearing its end. 1t
is rumored that the Baltimore & Ohio COM
pany would be the next to give in, and that
negotiations are now pending looking to-
ward consolidation with the American
company, thus forming a combination
against the Western Union. 1t is stated
this morning at the office of the Baltimore e
Ohio company that it was the intention to
remain firm. The Western Union company
still remains firm in the position assumed
since the beginning of the strike, and shows
no indications of weakening.
The usual routine was observed at the
meeting of the striking telegraph operators
this afternoon. Chairman Mitchell an
nounced that ne would be absent for the re-
mainder of the week on business connected
with the Brotherhood, and would
probably have some important intelli-
gence to communicate when he
came back. 1t is understood that he
referred to the pending negotiations with the
Baltimore Il Ohio Telegraph Company look
ing toward a compromise with the Brother
hood. Dispatches were received from
Boston, Philadelphia Baltimore, Cleve-
land, Detroit, Oil City. Pittsburg
st. Louis and other points, giving encourag-
ing reports, and urging the strikers to remain
firm. Many offers of pecuniary assistance
were reported, and many accessions to the
ranks of the strikers are reported in different
parts of the country.
