AN OLD MANS DARLING.
A Buffalo WidOwer's Expensive Experience
with a Pleasing Widow.

A man who gave his name as Edward Baker
reported to the police yesterday morning that he
had been robbed of 81, 125 by a woman whom he
had contracted to marry, and with whom he was
stopping at the Sherman House. Bakers story
is, to say the least, a unique and interesting one.
According to his statement he called at the intel
ligence Office of Mrs. Antonio Kisar, in Buffalo,
and applied for either a housekeeper or a wife,
agreeing to pay 81 for the former or S.
for the latter. Not knowing of any
one to whom to refer, Mrs. Kisar pro
posed to accept the latter proposition herself,
woman had a six-yearold son, Hedwig Kisar, of
whom she was the guardian, and she stipulated
especially that she was to be continued as guard
ian in the event of their marriage, to which
Baker. agreed. They came to this city, accom-
panied by Mrs. Kisar's brother, and registered at
the Sherman House as man and wife, the two
men, however, rooming together. On Wednes-
day they went before notary Bernhamer and
entered into an ante-nuptial agreement in &C
cordance with the understanding reached as
stated above. Yesterday morning Baker re-
ported to the police that on awakening he had
discovered that his room mate had departed in
the night, leaving him locked in the room.
Inquiry developed the fact that Mrs.
Kisar had also departed, the two stating to the
hotel clerk that an unexpected telegram had ne
cessitated their immediate departure. Baker
found, on examining his satchel and purse,
that 81, 125 therein contained had disappeared
cause of which, he crashes his teeth and refuses
- be comforted. There is no clew to the missing
ones. Baker is about fifty years old, and Mrs.
Kisar is less than thirty.

THE STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE.
A Permanent Organization Effected, and a
Vigorous Campaign Determined Upon.

The State central committee met last night,
after the adjournment of the convention, and
proceeded to effect a permanent organization.
Hon. John G. New was elected chairman by the
unanimous vote of the committee, and a com
mittee was appointed to wait upon him and &C
quaint him with the fact. The selection of Mr..
New was an entire surprise to him, and the first
intimation that he had that any such movement
was contemplated was the notification of the fact
by the committee. Hon. Jno. Overmyer was not
a candidate. A resolution complimenting Mr..
Overmyer for his valuable services during the
campaign of 1882 was unanimously passed. The
secretaryship was rendered l.. 7. Kitchener, of
Shelbyville, with the same unanimity, and if
his private affairs can be so arranged as to
permit of his acceptance he will undoubtedly
do so. Isaac2Herr, of Indianapolis, and H. A.
Smock, Of Martinsville, were elected assistant
secretaries, William Wallace was elected treas
urer. The organization was completed by the
appointment of the following committees; Elk
ecutive committee: Hon. John Overmyer, of
Jennings James H. Jordan, Of Morgan;
Harry G. Adams, A. g. Harris and
Dan M. Ransdeli, of Marion; finance,

Accident to Mrs. WooIen.

Mrs. Wooden, wife of Frank Wooden, cashier
of the Meridian National Bank. was badly
bruised but fortunately not seriously hurt, by a
runaway accident yesterday afternoon. While
riding out on Indiana avenue, near the Belt
road. the horse became frightened and ran away.
Mrs. Wooden jumped out and the rear wheels
of the vehicle passed over her, producing I'm
consciousness. She was picked up by Health
Officer Griffin, who happened to be in the vicin-
ity, and taken to her home on Broadway, where
a physician was summoned and attended to her
injuries, which are not dangerous.

Kill 1t at Once!

Mayor Lows absurd scheme for obtaining
a water supply for Brooklyn by draining the
brooks and rivulets Of Queens county will
come up in the Assembly on Tuesday. For
various reasons it finds advocates at Albany,
and strong effort will be made to pass the
bill for carrying 1t out.
No sensible legislator ought TO listen for q
moment to the proposition. II involves
serious injury 10 Queens county, and offers
very inadequate advantages to Brooklyn.
The region to he drained has barely enough
water for its own uses. It is peculiarly
liable to suffering from drought In dry sea-
sons, and, all told, its water supply Is insult
tlcient for the vast city Brooklyn is destined
to become.
Nor docs Brooklyn need to 70 there to get
water There are other sources OF supply,
sources incomparably greater In their abun-
dance, upon which 1t can draw, and upon
which 1t must draw when 1t reaches the pro-
portions to which 1t is easy to see 1t must at
tain when 1t obtains rapid transit and Sc
cures adequate facilities Of communication
with this city.
The scheme for drawing water from Queens
county Is paltry, picayune. short sighted
and selfish. Let 1t be crushed out by the
vote in the Assembly on Tuesday. Then let
men Of larger and more comprehensive views
devise q proper plan for obtaining the addl-
tional water tho rapidly increasing popula-
ton Of Brooklyn need.

WARRINGTON. March l3.-The French
American Commission. which was created In
1880 under convention between France and
the United States. to settle certain claims OF
French citizens. will close its business on April
I. The claims aggregate about $50. 900 900. and
the awards will be less than 100000. with 1--WE
per cent. interest on them to be added 10 the
allowances.
This remarkable difference between the
claims submitted and the awards Of tho Com
missioners shows how exaggerated and un-
founded the bulk OF the claims must have been.
In this respect all these International COM
missions stand on the same footing. Claims arc
often manufactured out and out, without n
color OF legal or Of equitable foundation.
Others possessing u semblance OF right are
enlarged from trifling amounts to enormous
sums through the fraudulent speculation Of
principals or the reckless venture OF corrupt
agents. Nhappens not inireQuently. even with
an arbitrator above the suspicion OF unworthy
motives that the very worst cases are passed.
upon fabricated testimony.
The Mexican Government has protested
against tho awards to We'll and La Abra before
the recent Commission ~ being wholly fraudu-
lent from beginning to end. These cases arc
by no means exceptional. but they are the most
notable. on account OF the size Of the awards
when u ID asked how these wrongs are COM
mitted the answer is. by organized perjury. by
Justification OF papers. and by other neiarious
methods we'll known to class Of ppactition-
ers before these Commissions. and to profess
siona) claimants who have reduced fraud to .
fine art.
II all the facts could be brought to light which
are known to exist in different forms. the
perjury and the false claims before the vene-
zuelan. the Mexican. the French. and the Ala
bama Commissions would astound the country
and almost defy belief.
Such crimes are committed with impunity.
because there is no legal or other proper pro-
lection against them. In fact. these interna-
tional commissions furnish constant tempta-
ton to perjury.
A bill was drafted and submitted to the Ju-
dietary Committee Of tho last House OF Repre-
sentatives to provide a remedy for this glaring
evil. but 1t received no attention.
