En-President Arthur.

WASHINGTON, June IA gentleman who
met ex President Arthur at Fortress Monroe
during his recent visit to that place says that
he was apparently as unhappy a man during
his entire visit as could have been found He
seemed to DO interested in no one or any
thing, avoided society, and was ever indif-
ferent about his meals The belief that he
was in poorer health than no would admit
was forced upon several persons who knew
him. The National Republican says: "a
prominent physician who has Just returned
from New York is quoted as saying that ex-
President Arthur is suffering from Bright's
disease Mr.. Arthur's visit to Fortress
Monroe was not for malarial troubles, says
the physician, but was to obtain relief from
kidney troubles, with which he has been suf-
fering for over year. Mr.. Arthur, he says,
is looking badly, and seems to be suffering
intensely. Mr. Arthur is preparing for sea

Omcers-
EVANSVILLE Ind, june 4-Particulars
Of the terrible tragedy at Jasper, Ind, Mon
day evening, have como to hand and are as
follow:
Robert p. Reeves Is q farmer OF Dubois
county, sixty years of age, and noted as .
hard character, having already served q
term in prison. He has two sons, John,
aged thirty-fve, and George, aged thirty,
both saloon keepers In Terre Haute, and rate
as desperadoes. There has been an indict-
ment for grand larceny in Martin county
hanging over their heads for two years past.
but for some reason no attempt has ever been
made to serve it.
A few days ago the sheriff of Dubois
county received warrant with orders to
arrest the boys then at their
fathers farm. The sheriff swore
in two deputy sheriffs, John Gardner and
VIM. Cox, for this purpose. The two officers
found no opportunity TO arrest their men
until Monday, when old Reeves came to
Jasper, leaving the two sons mile from
town. The deputies by watching the old
man found the hiding place of their men and
arrested them.
While going to town old man Reeves said
10 Garuner, "Ihats pretty pistol you
have Let me see itn The officer handed
the pistol to Reeves, whereupon the prisoner
tried to shoot him, but was prevented by
Cox drawing his own revolver and telling
Reeves not to attempt 1t Reeves thereupon
shot Cox in the wrist, causing tho pistol TO
drop from his hand. Old Reeves then fired
two more shots at Cox, ono entering
the thigh and the other lodging In
the back paralyzing him from the waist
down Meanwhile the two sons had opened
fire upon Gardner, shooting him four times
two shots taking effect in the back ono in
the left arm and one in the forehead between
the eyes.
After both men were rendered. helpless,
the two younger Reeves went through Gard
ner's pockets, securing about ten dollars in
money and some valuable papers. They also
appropriated Gardner's and Cox's revolyers
and their horses and escaped. The wounded
officers lay suffering IN Intense agony until
late in the evening, when they were discover
cd by farmers and brought to Jasper, whero
medical attendance was procured.
Garduer fingered until 8 O'clock Tuesday
morning, when he died Cox is alive; bl,i
cannot recover The authorities have taken
no steps leading to the apprehension Of the
murderers. Officers remain inactive simply
because no reward has been offered for the
arrest Of Reeves. Tho citizens are excited,
and loud in their condemnation of the inac-
tion OF the authorities.

The Picture Answered the
Question.
BY MINNIE BELLE TREsENRIDER.
-:-l-o-l-:-

csss.sas9HE was .crocheting something
sSFA out of soft blue and white
S wool. Her fingers were as
white as the wool. William Sherman
sat watching her. She vas looking
very charming in her cream-white
dress, with delicate blue ribbons at
the throat, and looping back her vel
low hair.
Pearl Cameron knew the value OF
dress-and, what is more, she knew
how to attire herself in just the man
ner most becoming to her.
She was not so much prettier than
dozens of other young ladies'; but
everything about her was in harmony,
and people had fallen into the habit
of calling her beautiful.
She had clear, wild-rose complex
ion, tolerably regular features, soft
brown eyes, and yellow hair that was
struggling continually to break into
curls and ringlets so natural to her.
William Sherman-grave, silent,
wise attorney-wondered within him
self how long he had loved this little
Pearl. He could not remember.
Six years ago she had come to stay
with them-the dying bequest of Mrs.
Sherman's best valued friend. The
good lady had been mother to her
ever since; and Will had played the
part of kind elder brother.
Pearl was thirteen when she came
to Columbus, she was now nineteen.
Yes, he was sure he had loved her six
years.
She had made everything SO differ
emit. Her pretty ways OF arranging
curtains, and flowers, and books, and
pictures, and knickknacks, had bright
ened up the house wonderfully.
William thought it was strange
that he and his mother had ever man
aged to live without her.
So he sat and looked at her as she
made the shining steel flash in and
out of the bright, feecy wool. Not
that he thought of being to her any
thing more than he was now.
Pearl Cameron had had her life of
romance as well as other women.
It had been sweet at first, painfully
bitter at the last 1t had made her
smile graver, her color more feeting,
her manner, at times, subdued and
sad-so MIR. William Shsrman thought.
Pearl and Frederick Pugh had met
under somewhat romantic circum-
stances. He had saved her life from
drowning at Toledo, where she had
ventured beyond her depth; and, after
her removal to Columbus, he had fol
lowed her there, and settled himself
in the practice of his profession-the
law.
He had been a constant visitor for
two years. People began to speak of
them as belonging to each other; and
Mrs. Sherman had, with a woman's
peculiar delight, begun to anticipate
the wedding breakfast and the bridal
rousseau.
Sherman had looked on with dull

L0VES COMPLAINT.


They say I must not love you,
Thew seek to turn my heart
That knows but you,
My sun so true,
By keeping us apart.
They say must not seek you,
And bolt and bar the gate;
While /, my love,
MY one fair dove,
Contented watch and wait.
For love cannot be fettered,
In any land or cline,
Its wings divine
With lustre shine
And challenge every time.
On mornings golden pinions,
1t makes its hayward path,
Earnest and bold,
Defying cold
And heat, and cruel wrath.
They say must not love you,
But, darling, never fear;
The robins sing,
While on the wing,
Their loye-notes soft and clear.
To-day passed your window
And saw golden head;
And azure bands,
And two white hands
This sight my spirit fed.
saw you, darling, bending.
Your fair cheek flushed with joy;
Above the note,
Your true love wrote,
With Cupid's pen, fair boy.
An arrow dipped in honey,
Without one drop OF gan,
My sweetheart glad,
Tomake thee sad,
Or hold thy heart in thraii.
/ caught thy earnest glances
From eyes of heavens own blue,
That said to me,
SO tenderly,
81 will be brave and true"
They say | must not love you,
And bolt and bar the gate;
But, oh, my love,
My own fair dove,
We both may love and walt.
