Washington, Oct 26. 1885,
The present occupant of the White
House can always be found at his
place of business. During the week
the fashionable world within reach OF
the Washington race course have been
attending the autumnal races. Presi-
dent Arthur could always be found
there, usually in company with Attor-
ney General Brewster. President
Cleveland is known to be an admirer
of horses and during the meeting of
the Jockey Club, prominent men be-
longing to it made an effort to have
him attend, put the chief executive
would not be moved.
Mr.. Cleveland would have liked to
have visited Richmond, Va, during
the past week on the occasion of the
opening of the State Fair, but he was
afraid that his presence might be con-
strued as trying to influence the cleo
ton in that State. After consultation
with the Cabinet, the trip was aban-
doned. However, he will go to New
York next week to vote, and it is un-
derstood that he will not make any
more important appointments until
his return.
The presence Of Senator John Sher-
man in this city was made the occa-
sion Of serenade at the Ebbitt House.
A sufficient sum was raised by the
faithful Ohioans who did not go home
to vote, to pay for the music and a
little crowd Of about 200 people gath
cred to listen to the cheap melody
and still cheaper eloquence of the tall
angular Senator, who came out and
Haunted the bloody shirt vigorously.
He said, near the close of his speech,
that he was on his way to Virginia.
Eyes," said bystander, land if you
repeat there your speech of tonight
you will surely elect Fitz Lee This
sally caused good deal Of laughter
and applause. Senator Sherman
spoke for about an hour. The purity
of the ballot was his principle hobby.
He declared that every national cleo
ton since 1868 had been tainted with
fraud and terrorism, and shaking his
fist at the White House, he asserted
that last year, by unlawful combina-
ton and fraud, Cleveland had been
elected President of the Uuited States
when if there had been q fair vote and
a fair count, James G. Blaine would
have been elected.
he said many other things illustra
tive of his immense powers Of false
hood and venom, but his declaration
that Cleveland was elected by fraud il
edifying, coming from man who
helped to steal the Louisiana vote fol
Hayes in 1876. A threat he made Of
reducing the repr esentation of thu
South in Congress is entitled to atten.
ton merely as furnishing an insight
into Mr.. Sherman's purposes ant
hopes.
Mr.. Cleveland holds receptions il

days, and Fridays. The attendance

PhremOIOgy.

DR.. w, H. Barker, the phrenologist,
has been lecturipg every night this
week at Jobe's Hall to large audiances.
His lectures have aroused the deepest
interest on the subject of phrenology.
At the conclusion of his lecture each
night he examines two subjects pub
licly, and it is astonishing to see how
he can read a man by simply examin-
ing his head. But that he can do SO
has been fully demonstrated by his
public examinations. The subjects
have been selected by a committee,
and the DR.. had no idea who were to
be examined until they appeared be-
fore him. There was no possible
chance for collision. Tonight he will
lecture for the last time, and none but
gentlemen will be admitted, and nc
one under sixteen years of age. We
hope he will have q good crowd. The
small admission price OF 25c will be
charged. Every man in town, young
middle-aged, and old, ought to come
out and hear this lecture.

DANGER AT JOLIET.
State Troops Under Arms-The Strikers De-
fant and Collision Probable.

JOLIET, ILL.,, May -Four companies of the
State troops, numbering 254 men, are now here
under arms. The striking stone cutters number
1000, and still maintain threatening attitude
but no collision has as yet occurred.
A gang of 400 strikers, it is just reported
have left Lemont to join the Joliet strikers.
Two companies of troops have gone to meet
them and the public excitement is great in con-
sequence, as a battle is feared. 1t is thought
that the strikers Will not be so foolhardy as to
make an attack or refuse to disperse when COM
manded to.
General Vance has just sent the following
dispatch to the Governor:
'About 23O P. NJ, 250 strikers from Lemont
approached Sanger s. Nobe's quarries, where
two companies of Colonel Benefits command
were posted. Under direction of Colonel s. w.
Num- special deputy sheriff, Captain Jacksons
company was placed in ambush. Lieutenant
ST. Clairs company commanded the road to Jo
liet The strikers were halted by Deputy-sheriff
Mum, and commanded to disperse and
return to their homes, which they refused
to do. Brandishing their clubs, they cried On
to Joliet No man shall work The companies
deployed, closing in on the fanks. Seventy
strikers were captured with the assistance of
the deputies, and marched as prisoners to Joliet.
They are now held by the sheriff, in Major
company and Captain Madden's company, two
and one-half miles south of the Sanger quarry,
were placed on special train and run to Lock
port Under Colonel Bennett, they deployed as
skirmishers, covering nearly mile front, and
are now securing the country between Lockport
and the Sanger quarry for those who escaped.
Killed and wounded, none"

MINOR MENTION.
Probability that Mr.. Merrick's Nomination
Will Not BE Confirmed.

probability that Mr. MerTick's Nomination
Will Not BE Confirmed.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WAsHINGToN, May 2.-There is some doubt
about the confirmation of VIM. M. Merrick, who
was yesterday appointed successor to Judge
Wiley. A gentleman connected with the Sen
ate, speaking of the appointment to-day, said:
The judiciary committee decided, some three
years ago, that they would not recommend any
one for confirmation on the bench who was over
sixty years of age. This was done to
prevent the placing of the late Secretary
Folger on the bench of the Supreme Court of the
United States 1t was known that President
Arthur desired to take Mr.. Conkling into his
Cabinet as Secretary of the Treasury, and TO
accomplish this he proposed to transfer Mr..
Folger to the Supreme Court. The judiciary
committee, some of whom were decidedly
hostile 70 the distinguished ex-senator
from New York, learning of the
Presidents intentions held meeting, at
which the age limitation was agreed upon, and
the President was informed of their action
That, of course, broke up the proposed arrange
ment. and Mr.. Folger remained in the Treasury
Well in regard to Judge Merrick, he is sixty five
years old, and is beyond the age fixed by the
committee, and on that account he will probably
be rejected. Then, too. the fact that he was
legislated off the District bench, in 1863, during
the war, will operate against him.
