ALEXANDER COLLIER,


Some time ago, at Quincy, ILL.,, Sheriff Hess
discovered Alexander Collier, the able financier
who manipulated the swindle known as the Ma
rion Trust Company, and brought him back on
grand,jury indictment. II Golfers victims sup
posed that he was to be lodged in jail to await
trial they probably disappointed. He was
not subjected to the ignominy Of imprisonment
or contact with other offenders at all, but given
sanctuary at the Enterprise Hotel, with an ami
able deputy sheriff as a companion. Even
this has proved too harsh for Mr.. Golfers tender
susceptibilities, and the sheriff has consider
ately modified the rigor of his detention. For
two days he has been lodged with Mr.. John

THE AIRLINE OPENING.
A Large Excursion to This City-Reception
and Speeches at the Board of Trade.

The initial excursion TO this city, over the
Chicago Il Indianapolis Airline on last Sstur-
day, brought in about 1, 200 passengers, repre-
senting Lake, Jasper, Carroll, Newton, White,
Boone, Clinton and Hamilton counties. The
train reached this city at 11:3O o'clock, and the
party was met at the Alabama,street depot by
the reception committee of the Board of Trade.
Headed by the Union band, the procession
marched to the Board of Trade Hall, where
liberal supply of lemonade had been
provided for the refreshment of the
excursionists, after which they were
cordially welcomed in brief address from A. D.
Lynch, the president of the board. He was fol-
lowed by Mayor Grubbs and Judge MaTtindale,
VINO also made few appropriate remarks.
George Brecount, the assistant general freight
agent OF the Airline, in speaking Of what the
new road would do for Indianapolis, said: eve

DIR. Moore, of Sheridan, spoke briefly, and in
MS remarks said that there were hundreds of
people along the line who had been unable to
get aboard the train. He spoke enthusiastically
OF the advantages which the new line would
give the people along the route.
Colonel Catelin, of Frankfort, who was one of
the first men to take interest in the build
ing of the road, and attended the first
meeting to take action upon the project thirty
years ago, gave an account of the struggles
through which the enterprise had passed before
the completion of the line.

THE NEW INSANE AsxLUMs


The location of the insane hospitals was de-
cided upon by the commissioners on Saturday
morning and it now appears that there was a
great deal of sweetness wasted in trying to in
fiuence their decision. For several days the
delegations from the rival towns have each been
striving against the other in the matter of
showing the commissioners the most distin-
guished consideration and they have been at
much pains to captivate the hearts and the
votes of the men who have the responsibility of
locating the two benevolent institutions, and all
this strife has been to get a monopoly
on the States lunatics. Mr.. Jocook
is respectfully asked, "What nextf'
After they were left to them
selves the commissioners were not long in reach
ing decision. The first ballot upon the ques-
ton of locating one of the hospitals resulted in
the unanimous vote of the four commissioners
in favor Of Richmond In determining the loca-
tion of the second asylum at Logansport, there
was only one dissenting vote. Governor Porter
as the chairman of the board, held the power of
casting the deciding vote in the case of tie, but
the matter was settled by the four commissioners
themselves. The rival cities are, of course
sorely disappointed over their failure to get the
city that Madison, which offered extraordinary
inducements, both in advantages of site and it's
but its failure to receive recognition
is attributed to it's location in the southern part
of the State and the provision by the law that
one of the hospitals shall be at Evansville The
action of the commissions rs in determining upon
the location was influenced chiefly by geograph-
ical considerations.

Shooting Affrav at a Pincic.

During the Clan-na-Gael celebration at Malott
Park yesterday afternoon, row occurred be-
tween james Oliver and ROlly Marson, James
Hines and one or two Others, in which several
shots were fired and one person was slightly in

question which was asked Oliver near the dane

fight ensued in which divers nose
was broken and he was badly beaten about the
face. The men left the grounds and the trouble
was renewed outside. Oliver was again being
badly used when he drew revolver and began
firing, and shots were exchanged. During the
shooting, youth who was taking no part in
the fight, was shot in the face, but was only
slightly wounded. Oliver was arrested by Ser

OXFORD, Ind, June 23.-Following closely

tory for the Mccormick at this place to-day.
There were six machines engaged, viz: The
Deering, bennett, Plano, Empire, st. Paul and
Mccormick. 1t was announced for some days
prior to the contest that nine machines would
enter in which would be included the Osborne
Buckeye, Minneapolis and Champion.
1t was not expected that the Mccormick
would come into the trial. as there is no agency
for this machine here just at this time. Several
of the contestants, who were rejoicing at this
state of things, were amazed day or two since
proposed taking hand in the picnic with the
Mccormick. After the recent continued victo-
ries of this machine, the Osborne, Buckeye,
Minneapolis and Champion concluded that they
had had just about enough hence changed their
minds and weakened, failing TO appear on the

rye, and the ground being very soft and in some
places almost swampy, all were put upon their
meJtle. 1t seems almost useless to repeat the
occurrences of the day. 1t was simply the old,
old story of another Mccormick triumph. There
were, however, one two points which add to
the laurels Of the victorious Mccormick in an
unusual degree. While moving the machine
from the town TO the field one of the canvas roll

AN IMPORTANT MEETING.


The North and South Roads to Form a
Tariff Association.
Committees met to-day at Cincinnati to report
upon the establishment of pool or tariff as
ISOLATION, embracing the roads between Louis
vile and Cincinnati, Louisville and
Chicago, and Cincinnati and Chicago 1t is
stated that very few of the roads favor pool,
and some that carry large share of the traffic
are known to be determined not to join pool"
They favor traffic association, and the indica-
lions are that the committees will all recon-
mend the formation of traffic association
upon basis similar to that of the Southwestern,
which runs smoothly and satisfactorily, and
gives good results to the roads interested
by maintaining rates at such figure as to afford
a reasonable revenue upon every possible class
of traffic. The Chicago committee is regarded
as the most important one, being at the point
where the rates have been cut, and from it is
expected to come such u recommendation as will
meet the emergency. This committee is COM
posed of the following: Robert Forsythe,
