Ice-HOuses Burned.

About half past o'clock yesterday afternoon
two large ice houses belonging to the Indianapo-
lis Ice Company, situated on the bank of the
canal near the aqueduct were destroyed by fire,
evidently of incenGiary origin. Owing to the
great distance the department hal to travel, the
fire had got under such Roadway as to be prac-
tieally beyond control aud the buildings were al

INDIANA BUILDING STONE.
The Bedford Quarries Will Furnish Material
for the New Texas State-HOuse.

AUSTIN, Tex, June 23-The question Of al
lowing a Chicago syndicate to substitute
Indiana limestone for Texas limestone in
building the exterior walls of the great new
State Capitol has been agitating the Capt.
tol Board for several months. Some two
months ago the syndicate completed the founda-
ton and the granite water table, and received
therefor about 60, 900 acres of land in payment
The contract for the superstructure called for
limestone of a certain uniform color and quality,
but did not stipulate where such stone should be
quarried Col. Abner Taylor of Chicago, finan-
cial agent of the syndicate, offered to begin work
on the outer walls if the board allowed the use
of Indiana limestone, claiming that he could
find no available limestone in Texas of quality
and color in quantities sufficient for such great
building. The board, including Governor Ire
land, was very stubborn, and refused, last week
to accede to Colonel Taylors request to use
Indiana stone, whereupon Taylor bid them
au revoir and went to Springfield Yesterday the
BOARD again met, and have now decided by vote
of three to two to accept the syndicates offer to
fulfill its contract with Indiana Bedford lime
stone. Governor Ireland and the State Treas
voted against the syndicate. This is a
victory for Colonel Taylor, who will return and
complete the second largest building in the
United States.

committee which has been engaged in sitting
out the charges of bribery and corruption Of
members of the Legislature completed its work

swore point blank that Representative Baker
had offered to kill the telegraph bill for 81, 500,
$500 down and the balance at the end of the
session. Mr.. Baker was present when this
statement was sworn to. and lost his temper so
far as to call the witness liar. When Baker
took the stand he swore directly to the contrary

such a proposition, nor received any money
for his vote or influence in the House. On cross
examination Tubbs swore that he did not pro-
pose to have his affidavit made public unless the
bill was pushed.
At the afternoon session, when the House
convened there was such clamor for recogni-
tic Il on the part of members that the Speaker
was unable to maintain order and he arose and
left the chair, which was taken by Mr.. Fuller.

Alleged New Developments Concerning the
McMullen Murders.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
CHARLOTTESVILLE, June 23-Another ripple
Of excitement was caused this morning IN con
neetion with the McMullen murders. James
Dennis, one Of the condemned men, appeared In
SQUIRT this morning and made affidavit to the
following: That on Friday. June 10. 1885, two
ministers, John D. Phillips, of Graysville. and
Charles j. Jackson, a student of Wabash College
called on John w. Coffey the other condemned
criminal, who occupies an adjoining cell; that
Coffey made confession to these ministers, To-
wit: That he and Dennis made the plot to rob
the McMullens as before stated, but they had
no intention Of numbering them. On their way
to the McMullen house. on the night OF JAN y
1885, they were joined by James Rankins, Mon
day Rankns and John Curtis that Dennis took
no part in the murder. but both Mr. and Mrs
McMullen were killed by James Rankins, who
shot four times with revolver After the
murder they robbed the house, and Dennis and
James Rankins took the things they obtained to
Rankins's house. where they were secreted.
Afiidavits were also filed by James Cunning
ham and Frank Johnson, who have been prison
toi5 them that Dennis took no part in the
murder. These afidavits will have great weight
toward the granting of new trial for Dennis.
The ministers will appear in court tomorrow
morning and testify as to the contents of Den
Miss affidavit. Dennis claims to have over
heard Coffey making this statement to these
ministers. 1t is claimed that the ministers were
to hold back the statement of Ccffey until
after the other parties named in this
affair were arrested, so to not give them any
time to disappear. Tt has been the opinion of
many that if Dennis was guilty there were
others who were fully guilty AS he It is
claimed that this confession of Coffey was not
made in accordance with the rules of his church.
Doty & Thornton, the attorneys for Dennis, are
quite confident that Dennis will be granted
new trial People are beginning to wonder if
Coffey did, can, does. will ever tell the truth.
He surely has told different stories enough about

Mr.. Andrews was doing an extensive
wholesale and retail business, and
it was generally believed that he
was financially solid The liabilities are said to
be $16 600, while the assets are fully twice that
sum, thus making all creditors finally safe. The
failure is accounted for by the pressing times
and inability to collect bills from wholesale
customers. thus making it impossible for him to
