He Threatens to Diminish the Repre-
sentation OF the South.
WASHINGTON, Oct. Ex-senator John
Sherman was ghttendered a serenade
by mis- friends in this city. The Marine
band furnished the music for the occasion,
and large crowd OF persons listened TO
the speech. Senator Sherman was intro
duoed by Representative Benjamin But
terwOrth, and spoke for about hall an
hour. The purity OF the ballot was the
ID tncipal theme OF his discourse. He de-
clared that every national election since
1868 had been tainted with fraud and ter
rorlsm, and asserted that last year, by
unlawful combination and fraud, Grover
Cleveland had been elected President OF
the United States, when, II there had been
a lair vote and q fair count, james q.
Blaine would have been elected.
A BOLD THREAT.
The speaker dwelt at some length on
the recent elections In Ohio, and charged
the Democrats with perpetrating gross
frauds against the purity OF the ballot.
He believed that Congress should pass a
wise election law 20 govern the election
OF members OF Congress and presidential
elections, and II such measure failed 70
protect the negroes In their right Of suf-
frage, then the Republican party would
take care that the Southern States we're
not allowed representation based on their
negro citizens.

Reducing the Force at Kingan's.

An afternoon paper yesterday gave circulation
to rumor that Kingan & Co., had on Monday
of this week discharged 400 men, and on the day
following, 100 more A Journal reporter in
quired as to the truth of the statement Of MIR.
John Moore, at the Office of the company He
answered: 1--WE did discharge about 200 men.
We would have discharged more but for the fact
that we have kept them to handle ice. Our
heavy killing season closes about the middle Of
January, and there is nothing unusual in our
discharging men as instead of killing 5, 900 hogs
day as we have been doing, we now kill only
5000 daily. From the LIST Of January the re-
ceipts of hogs falls off and we are unable to get
them. AS to the employment we give and the
wages we pay, there is no complaint Our usual
number of men is 600. and for the two and half
months of winter killing we take on 500 extra
men"

THE FIRE BOARD MIDDLE.
The Supreme Court Reverses the Lower
Courts Decision, and Webster Will Govern.

The Supreme Court rendered decision in the
fire board case yesterday and affirmed the de-
cision of the lower court, whereby the control of
the city fire department. was placed in the hands
of Chief Engineer Webster The case has been
stubbornly contested by both parties to the suit
each of which has been alternately successful.
First the council endeavored to depose the Spahr
board, and reorganized by electing Thai
man, Trusler and Mock, but the
ousted gentleman raised the point that
under the Van Vorhis law, the boards appointed
at the first meeting of the Council could not be
legisated out of Office by that body, and brought
suit to enjoin the newly appointed board from
acting. Judge Taylor, of the Superior Court
held that that view of the case was correct and
an appeal was taken to the general term of the
court Meantime the Council, the anti -Spahr
faction being in the. majority, abol-
ished the fire board and placed
the department entirely under the
control of the chief fire engineer Then the
general term of the Superior Court overruled
Judge Taylor's decision, and the Spahr board
appealed to the Supreme Court. Judge Howk
rendered the decision yesterday and in the
course of it says: 1.-THE creation of the fire
board is wholly unauthorized by the statute.
Powers and duties were attempted to be given
to such board, some of which the statute i'm
posed upon the Common Council as body, and
some were plain statutory duties of the chief
fire engineer"

One week ago the wife of Captain w. r. Gin

near 1rvington, of typhoid fever, and her body
has not been buried. but still remains in the

Gated under the firm name of Drew & Co,

regarding the management of their affairs, and
especially the Indianapolis house. They were
totally unable to agree, however, at
that time and dissolution of partnership
was decided upon by Messls. Drew and
ODonnell. who evidently had determined to
take things in his own hands. whether Mr. Sack
EFT liked it or not Accordingly they had card
inserted in the Journal giving notice of the dis
solution, with the additional information that
Mr. Sackett no longer had anything to do
with their business That energetic gentleman,
however, had some very pronounced views as to
what should be done, and he got up early yester-
day morning and through his attorneys, Haw-
kins and Norton, filed q petition in
Judge Howes court asking for an accounting
from his partners, and for the appointment of q
receiver to take charge of the affairs of Drew 81

for hearing to-day. Late in the afternoon, how
ever, Journal reporter went up in Mr.. Haw-
kiEss office, and there found all three of the
partners, apparently as happy and contented as
little warbling birds. you can say" said
Mr.. Sackett, that this tronble all arose
from a business difference which we have AMIGA
bly, settled. The partnership and the business
will be continued as heretofore and the suit
filed to-day will be dismissed at once" Messrs.
Drew and ODonnell Endorsed this statement
and said they apprehended no further trouble.
Manager Sackett will, therefore, retain control
of the Indianapolis Museum, which, although
founded under discouragng circumstances and
operated at great expense, has still done pay
ing business The fat woman and the lean man,
the Chinese giant and the Hindoo snake-charmer,
the clown elephant and the chief curiosity, Mr..
Boyd, may still be found at the old stand.

THE Remington Standard Type writer is

THE Remington Standard Typewriter is the
paragon of writing machines AT the recent
important Expositions at Louisville and Omaha,
after the most thorough, exhaustive, and I'M
compromising trials of the year, the Remington
was triumphant on all points over all COM
petitors.
We have plenty of medals of superiority but
after ALL medals mean less than the high esteem
in which our machine is held by the business
world, as shown by the fact that its sale is
greater than the combined sales of all other
writing machines.
