A Gard from the Commissioners.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
MUNCIE, May 2.-Nr. Watson, the accused COM
missioner, in a card to the News, says:
LAS to the charges and assertions made by w. r.
Myers, at the Democratic convention, on Saturday
last, have this to say: That, in far those
charges and assertions relate to and involve in the
doing of any of the things charged or having any
knowledge that such things being done by Others
if they done, that was in any way manner,
form directly indirectly party TO any such
transaction l denounce the whole thing base
falsehood and fabrication from beginning to the
end. WIN. F. WATSON"
This card in the estimation of people who
know Watson to be of purity and one who can
not be corrupted places the matter where it rightly
beongs-at the door of Myers-and is regarded one
of his big falsehoods gotten up for political bun
combe The matter created quite a sensation when
the charge first publicly made, but that the
people are taking the sober second thought there is
reaction in the matter and the people who believe the
charge had any foundation whatever in tru tn few
indeed, and Myers is being denounced trickster
and demagogue. Even his political friends are
ashamed of the record he made here and do not give
his exposure any consideration whatever.

and we will beat you 100 600 votes in Pennsylvania;
you will lose Ohio and every Northern State.
Mr. Springer-We will take the chances. Where
ever the system is understood in all its enormties and
outrages the people will favor the reform advo-
Gated by the Democratic party.
NIessrs. Brainerd and Brown of Pennsylvania,
briefly opposed the bill and the committee arose.
The House took recess until clock, the evening
session to be for consideration of pension bills
At the evening session the House passed thirteen
pension bills The bill granting 50 900 to the widow
of General Francis p. Blair, compensation for
moneys expended by her husband in organizing forces
at the beginning of the and increasing her pen
sion to $50 month, gave rise to good deal of de
bate but there was no opposition.
Mr. Steele contended that the So 600 was nothing
but arrears of pensions, and as he was in favor OF
paying arrears of pension to all widows, he thought
che bill should be specific in terms, so that it could
serve precedent
Messrs Broadhead, Clardy, Fyan and ONein, of
Missouri and Curtin, of Pennsylvania, spoke in eo-
quent terms of the invaluable services which General
Blair rendered to the Union cause.
Mr.. Matson, chairman of the committee
on invalid pensions, said the $4,000
while Mr. Holiness of Iowa. member of the com,
mttee took the opposite view and supported the bill
because it did provide arrears.
Mr.. Dunn offered an amendment providing that the
S. 900 shall operate discharge of the govern
ment from all future liability account of expenses
incurred by General Blair in organizing forces Lost:
The previous question ordered on the BILL and
the House adjourned.

A SOCIAL SURPRISE.
Ella Wheeler, the Wisconsin POetess, Married
to Wealthy New Highlander.

MILWAUKEE May 1.-The greatest and most genu-
inc social surprise of the season the announce
ment that Ella Wheeler has been married to wealthy
young manufacturer from Connecticut. The marriage
very quiet affair and took place at the home of
Col. H. s. Benjamin. where Miss Wheeler has been
visiting for several weeks. The ceremony per-
formed by the Rev A. F. Mason of the First Bpatist
Church. The bridegroom is Mr. r. NJ. Wilcox, one of
a heavy firm of silverware manufacturers. Mr. and
Mrs. Wilcox started at for the East. magnif
cent home awaits them at Meriden, Conn. There
they will remain till summer, when they will
repair to beautiful seaside resort owned by Mr.. Will
cox, and during the pleasant term will make a voyage
in their private yacht around the coast of New
England, Nova Scotia, etc. returning to make their
winter home in New York city. The first acquaint
and courtship have been very romantic, and Wis
consins poetess leaves her old home and friends fol-
lowed by the thousands of wishes for her future hap
piness and prosperity
Miss Wheeler born in Windsor, Wis, q suburb
an village Madison, thirtytwo years ago, and
began writing poetry when she twelve years old
Her compositions number at least thousand, and
many of them have enjoyed extended circulation.
Several years ago she published a volume entitled
'A1aurine, and Other Poems" Among her best
known pieces are "Delilah published in 1877
which Miss Wheeler considers her finest effort; 'Ad
Fnem portraying the violent intensity of regret
and despair; Conversion" poem which called down
upon its author much ism; and Communism"
endeavor to illustrate the supremacy of love over
reason. Miss Wheeler's replies to hostile critics
afford ample demonstration that she is master no
less of prose than of verse.

A SWEET LITTLE SCANDAL.
The Questionable Attitude in Which Secre-
tary of State Myers Is Found.
"Jayhawker, lin Cincinnati Enquirer.

'Jayhawker, in Cincinnati Enquirer
A nice little scandal has just been developed at
Munce, which seems to be kind of boomerang to
those who fired it off Some months ago the board of
commissioners of Delaware county desired to build
new courthouse, and received proposals from differ
emit architects to make plans and for superintendent
Among those competing a Mr.. Bunting, of this
city, who has been successful operator in the line of
county contracts The story he told it, is that the
commissioners of Delaware county told him that he
should have the contract, but that nominating con
vention coming on that they desired renomina
TONS and that he must contribute $500 to their cam
paign expenses, and that the money must
be paid to Major John F. Wdman. chair
man of the Republican county COM
mittee. He paid the money to Wildman,
and when the convention only two of the old
board were renominated Early last week the board
met to act upon the proposals and gave the contract
to Mr.. Tolan, an architect of Fort Wayne. Bunting
grew hot and employed Hon. w. R. Myers his
attorney to collect the money Myers went to Muncie
last Saturday, and calling upon Wildman, demanded
the return of the money. Wildman sent him to Mr..
Watson, and Watson who is president of the board
said that the money had been spent for the whole
ticket and the party he was no more liable for 1t than
any of the other candidates. Myers returned to
Wildman and demanded settlement then and there,
and as Wildman did not have the money he gave his
note at ninety days Tor It, Myers then TOOK the note
and went into the convention and made speech ex-
posing the whole transaction from Buntings point OF
view, and read the note.
Wild,nan says Bunting offered the contribution to
the paign fund; that he took it SUCH but that
when Myers appeared and demanded its return the
ground that it had been given bride to the
denomination of certain candidates and thus
their friendly offices in giving contract, and as he
had used the money for general party purposes that
he would repay it. To-day Mr.. Mellett Mr.. Wild
mans attorney, called on Mr.. Myers and paid the
note
1t may appear little awkward to Mr. Myers here
after, in appearing for who claimed to have at
tempted the bribery of public officers, and having
failed, squealed and demanded his bride back again.
And the transaction will hardly be in the nature of
recommendation of Mr. Bunting to county officers
who want to avoid scandals. Mr.. Wildmans honora-
BILE course in making restitution he learned
the purposes for which the money intended will

Struggling with the Hello Box.

New York Sun.
The other day very distinguished
Senator, who thinks he has tho right
of way TO the White House, walked
up to a Senate telephone ard conduct
ed the following colloquy:
''Halloo, central of1ice" CThe Sen
ators say "H&lloo" the Representatives
only say "Hellop0
The central office responded.
"Call the office of the Commission
or of Patents for Senator Blank"
Then there was long pause. The
Patent Office at last answered. The
Senator shouted at the top of his lungs
and with his nose Hsttensd against the
hello box, evidently thinking the
louder he bawled the better the wire
would transmit the message. The CEN
trail Office kept cutting in on him, and
he couldn't make them understand.
At la. be squared off and shouted
straight into the box with voice like
a fog horn:
i've got em. Don't you under
standi | tell you I've got 'em.
Yes, and got EN- bad, too, sar-
castically responded the central Office.
The Senator, with a very red face,
continued his conversation with the
Commissioner of Patents.

trains came and went, TO Canada, to
New England, to the South, to the
great West.
The thronging crowd gathered
there now were of avery variety of
race and condition, and their pursuits
were as various. Here were a group
of young fellows, laughing and bois
terous, on their way to Harvard;
there a poor family of pale, silent
emigrants, going TO seek their for
tune in Dakota. A party ofsdellcate
women and children, wrapped in furs
and attended by liveried servants,
were waiting for the tram which
would take them to Florida. On this
bench sat a bonanza king, who was on
his way back to his gold mines in
California, and on thai half q dozen
sturdy Norwegisns and black-eyed
Spaniards, who had just landed from
an ocean steamer, each with his
whole possessions tied in handker-
chief, aud in his hat his ticket marked

Each man was only intent on him
self and his own business. In spite
OF the crowd there was marked
quiet. We Americans are a silent

freshly through the long lines of cars
and pufhugenglnes a faint hum came
from without It was the great city
awakening for the day.
A Scotch colley, belonging to one
OF the EN- grants, went from one
group to another, wagging his tail,
and looking up with mild, expressive
eyes, full OF good nature and friendly
feeling He seemed to bind these
peosle suddenly together with a
thread of good will. Children called
to him the students romped with him,
ladies' patted his shaggy head, a poor
negro in the corner threw him
