one knows what he did with the money, as he is
not extravagant in his living. Wealthy relatives
have come to Markams rescue, and will pay his
shortages. He has not yet been removed from
his position.

Quick Response to an Invitation.

Special to the Indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-It is stated that the
President has been very much astonished, since
Congress convened, by the responses he has re-
ceived from senators and representatives inter
ested in the request he recently made.
that where he had nominated OBJ
jectionable men for Office complaints
would be gladly received by him. The
list of callers at the White House show that
there have been nearly as many Republican
senators and representatives who have talked to
the President as Democratic officials. These So
iournings to the executive mansion were for the
purpose of pointing out to the President the er-
rors he has made in his appointments, and those
who have talked to him on the subject believe
that there will be quite a number of nomina-
tons withdrawn before the Senate refuses to
confirm them

oles-The signal station Besieged with
Inquirers-The Latest Bulletins.
There were rumors Of a coming cyclone
all day yesterday. An area of low bar

an hour from the east. The little cups Of
the thermometer were spinning around q t
lively rate, but there was no increase in
velocity.
Duriag the afternoon shipping men and
planters besieged the Office with inquiries
as TO the probable movement and diIec-
ton of the storm. At z O'Clock q. IN. the
barometer read 80 1903, with the wind blow
ing from the northeast at a velocity Of 8
miles an hour. At Ii O'Clock the velocity
had increased to % miles from the east.
Al o'clock last night the barometer lad
fallen to 30.06l. The wind had decreased

vannah. The following message was re-
ceived from the Chief Signal Officer at

DIED FROM PoIsONING.
The COroner's Investigation of TIT
Death of Herman Meyer.

The COroner's investigation of the
Death of Herman Meyer.
The sudden death Of Herman Meyer, on
Friday night, was investigated by Coro
ner Dixon yesterday morning. The de-
ceased, 1t was ascertained, imagined that
he was suffering from the opium habit.
A friend OF the family recommended that
Mr.. Meyer should try Beck's patent med
icine as cure. The family did not know
it to be a fact that the father was taking
opium, but they and he supposed that the
medicine he was taking contained opium.
The first dose of the ''Picus prOteana,"
as the medicine is called, seemed TO make
the sick man worse, but the dose was re-
peated until the patient was unable to
take any more and death finally ensued.
After a consultation with Solicitor
General DuBignon, the coroner concluded
that It was not necessary TO hold an in-
quest.
The death certificate given by DR.. Num-
sets forth that death occurred under
symptoms OF poisoning, produced, &C
cordng to the best Of his knowledge aud
belief, by patent medicine sold by DR.. S.
Beck, of 112 John street, Cincinnati, and
taken according to directions.
The directions were that GO minims
should be taken eight times a day. 1t is
a question that can only be determined by
analysis whether the medicine was strong
enough to cause death. The party who
recommended the "cure" stated that he
had been benefited by its use.
The funeral was held yesterday after
noon and was attended by Live Oak lodge
| Of Odd Fellows of which the deceased was
a member.
