The New Minnesota Senator.

Dwight M. Sabin is native of Connecticut,
and is about thirty-nne years of age, A an
early age he went to Illinois, where his fa-
ther engaged in farming on an extensive
scale, but the health of Sabin pere giving
out, the family returned to Connecticut,
where most of Dwights youth was spent,
and his father died In his early life he had
aspirations for the law, and commenced his
education with that end in view. Failing
health, however, rendered it necessary for
him to give this up and he came West.
Mr.. Sabin's Minnesota career is connected
closely with the material interests of Still
water, where he settled nearly fifteen years
ego. The business started then has grown
and become organized under the executive
ability of Mr.. Sabin into one of the largest
industries in the State representing millions
of dollars of capital The business is con-
Quoted under the name of the Northwestern
Car Factory, title which is the result OF a
recent reorganization of the stock
company, and of which many prom
inent men are stockholders. Mr.. Sabn
however is the organizing and controlling
genius of the business. While possessing the
business ability displayed so successfully,
Mr.. Sabin is not man whose only recon-
mendation is that he has a large fortune He
is gentleman of education and culture,
sound in Judgment and unusually energetic
in action.
In personal appearance he is large in frame,
with black hair and mustache, and bright
eyes, and with face indicative of force of
character and frmness of will. When in
repose his features bear n striking resem-
blance to the junior senator from Illinois,
In action he is quite different, being rather
slow of speech and deliberative in debate,
which, however, is not one of his strong
points, He is distinctively business man
of tie Western type, Of restless energy and
phenomenal executive ability. AS a senator
he will probably make record like Saw
yers, of Wisconsin. He will undoubtedly
secure as much substantial legislation for
his State as Window could, but by different
methods. He has been the controlling power
in the State Legislature here for years. secur-
ing the contracts for State-prison labor on
his own terms, and last season he sold his
old, worn-out machinery to the State on the
same terms. With all his devotion to bust
ness and his application of business princi-
Piles to practical politics, Mr. Sabin is some
thing OF an aesthetic. He possesses one of
the finest residences in Saltwater. The
beauty Of the grounds and the taste displayed
in the furnishing and surroundings show him
to be a man of refinement as well as man
of business.

SENATORIAL TIMBER.
The Millionaires The Defeat of Mr.. WIndom
in Minnesota.
SpeciaI tn the Infiananolis JournaI

Special to the IndianapOis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2:-Another millionaire
Senator was sworn in in the person OF Mr..
Tabor, of Colorado. The fact that so many
of this class are being elected to the Senate is
beginning to attract notice. 1t would seem
either that men of moderate means are no
longer properly qualified for the higher
positions in public life or that it is growing
more difficult for men to succeed in public
life strictly upon their merits.
prominent Democratic member of the
Senate said this morning in, discussing Mr.
Windoms defeat: 1--WE have lost one of the
most useful men in the Senate. He
has had over twenty years expert
ence as a legislator in Congress, and although
l am Democrat, | must say / regard Mr.
Window, outside of political questions, one
of the best Legislators in Congress. He is a
man given to investigation and labor, and
when he makes a report on a matter it can
be relied on" The same gentleman remarked
that he did not by any means believe Mr.
WINDOWS defeat meant his retirement from
public life on the contrary, he was OF opin-
ion that in the event of certain contingen-
cies which may be expected in the near
future, Mr.. Window will be invited
again to take place in the cabinet. The
contingency referred to, he stated, was the
probable retirement of Attorney y-general
Brewster and the transfer of Secretary Folger
to the Department of Justice. 1t is by no
means certain, however, that the President
will accept his cue from Democratic sugges-
tions as to the arrangement of.his cabinet.

An Application to Incorporate the United

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
SPRINGFIELD, Feb. 2.--ThS afternoon, ap-
plication was filed with the Secretary OF
State to incorporate the United States Ex-
press Company, with E. p. House, Oscar C.
ST. Clair and Charles A. Cloves as incorpora-
tors; capital stock, 100000. 1t appears that
the United States Express Company, now do

was incorporated under the laws of Illinois,
and the above named incorporators, young
business men of this city, were led to look
into the matter by a recent incorporation OF
new Western Union Telegraph Company
by citizens of this State The Secretary of
State hesitated about granting license, and
took the matter under advisement; but late
this evening license was issued. The agent
of the United States Express Company to-
night informed the officers of that company
by telegraph, and has written them suggest

a new name more cheaply, than to buy out

THE ASHLAND MURDERERs.
Four Hundred State Troops Ordered Out
for Protection of the Prisoners.

LOUISVILLE KY, Feb. 2-Under orders
from Governor Blackburn, about 400 State
troops, infantry and artillery under COM
mand OF Colonel John R. Allen, will attend
the trial of Neal and Craft, at Grayson,
Carter county, next Tuesday. These parties
are charged with rape. murder and arson,
committed at Ashland about year since.
On the first trial they were sentenced to
death. The Court of Appeals reversed
the lower courts finding. On the oc-
casion of the second calling of the case
a collision occurred between a mob at
Ashland and the State troops on the steamer
Granite State, in which several of the mob were
killed and wounded, as we'll as spectators on
shore. Judge Brown called on the Cove rnor
for troops to protect the prisoners, during
the trial The law leaves it discretionary
with the Governor as to the number ordered.
Advices from Grayson do not indicate an
outbreak, though a fact that it is only
twenty-five miles from the scene may lead a
mob to make a trip and second attempt to
hang the prisoners. The troops will rendez-
vous at Lexington on Monday, reporting to
Col Allen.

WAsHTNGroN, Feb. 2.-The investigation of
the scandalous relations alleged to have ex-
listed between the thieves and detectives
is not to be concluded by the dismissal of the
detectives. Mr.. John w. Thompson, char
man Of the citizens committee, was before
the grand jury to-day. His examination
consumed nearly the whole of the session of
that body. He gave a statement covering
nearly all OF the operations of the citizens
committee, and was interrogated at some
length by the jurors. The purpose of his
appearance there was to furnish such data as
might enable the grand jury to push their
Investigations further, Mr.. Thompson, of
course, being unable to testify personally as
to the various transactions of which the ci til
zens' committee has collected evidence. 1t
is believed, however, that sufficient evidence
will be presented to the grand jury to war;

New Ruling as to Children's Pensions
Washineton Special.

New Ruling as to Children's Pensions
Washington Special
An Interesting and entirely new pension
claim is now before the Assistant Secretary
OF the Interior for decision The guardian
OF the children of the deceased soldier has
applied for the back pension of So a month,
due each child from the time of their fathers
death. The chidren's mother neglected to
make application for q pension for herself or
family and finally married. The claim of
the guardian was rejected at the Pension Of
fee by the examiner, who held that the mar
riage OF the widow barred all rights of the
family to a pension from that date. Her
neglect 10 apply for a pension at any time
was construed as further difficulty in the
way OF allowing the claim Of guardian at
this late day.
The Assistant Secretary is of the opinion
that the mother OF family entitled to pen
sion, occupies the relation in law of a trustee,
and anyfailure or neglect on her part to ap-
ply for or secure the allowance OF pension
due the children can not work to their
preiudts. He will accordingly decide that
the children are entitled to a pension from
the time of their fathers death until they ar
rive at the age of sixteen years, the second
marriage OF their mother having nothing to
do with the claim of the guardian.

on the witness, listens intently to

the evidence will be noted down by her, and
consultations with one or the other of her
eminent counsel are numerous, She is a
woman of commanding carriage, tall, supple
and graceful, and her face, though showing
the marks of time, is still very attractive
She is credited with being a woman of rare
mental ability, fluent talker and writer
of no mean pretensions. Her paper, Our
Herald, has frequently made its sting felt
and its aggressiveness has not been altogether
irresponsible for the unpleasant situation in
which she now finds herself.

a face that betokens a man in poor health
He is a lawyer, with large and
lucrative practice and hats always borne IA

nominated to high offices, although he has
