A MIDNIGHT ADVENTURE.
The Thrilling Experience Mrs. W. D. Bynum
Had with Daring Burglar.

Thursday morning, about o'clock, Mrs. W. D.
Bynum, wife of the congressman, had quite a
thrilling experience with burglar, who entered
the family residence, at Ali College avenue.
MI. Bynr.m is absent at Washington, and the
family at home includes Mrs Bynum, two chill
dren and domestic At the hour named Mrs.
Bynum was awakened by the glare of dark
lantern shining in her face. She was very much
frightened and half arose il bed, when gruff
voice demanded, Have you any money in the
house." She replied that there was asmall amount
and upon the demand of the burglar began
searching for her pocket book, which she found
to be missing. The scoundrsl becoming i'm
patient, asked the reason of her delay and being
told he replied that the pocket book was lying
on the stairway where he had dropped it and
insisting that there was no money In it. Mrs.
Bynum said she had but S., and that was con-
cealed in an inner fold of the pocket book, and
the burglar still holding the lamp in her face
compelled her to hunt it up, and turn over the
money. The villain was not satisfied with the
small sum, and when the lady insisted that she
had no more, he made suggestive demonstra
ton and she, screaming, threw herself
down the stairway into the street
From there she fed to neighboring
house, but was refused admttance.

to a second house, she received protection, and,
as soon as the nature of the danger had become
known, posse of men proceeded to Mr. Bynurn's
house. but the Scoundrel had escaped, taking
with him all the valuable trinkets he could get.
There is no clew to his identity, and he kept the
lantern so constantly in Mrs. Bynums face that
it is doubtful whether she could recognize him.
1t is certain, however, that he knew Of the I'M

that will probably have to be settless. IN court.
It was discovered yesterday that although thessse
was no mention of the matter in the Senate
journal, the Brewer Legislative Reports, on

that the appointment had never been confirmed

STATE OFFICERS AGAIN DENY
That the Police Commissioners Will Be Re-

State Auditor Rice, in an interview with a
News reporter again made the statement yes
terday that so far as he knows, the State officers
have no intention of removing the present Met
ropolitan Police Commissioners, and he says,
further, that he does not regard the lack of har-
mony between the commissioners and State
officers as reasonable cause for wishing any
change Mr. Thomas Cottrell called at the
Office Of the State Auditor yesterday after
noon, for the purpose, as he stated of
learning what the State board intended to do re-
garding the police commission difficulties.
Don't tell me anything that you will 60 back
on, he said, in half jocular way, but which
was evidently intended to mean something. A
journal reporter was present during the CONVEX
sation, in the course of which Mr. Cottrell re-
marked that 'the funniest thing in the whole
business was that Frenzel went to the State of
ficers and urged them to reappoint Murphy,
when others were opposing him. and it wasn't
but a few days until Frenzel resigned because
they had reappointed him.
rs that really true!" inquired Sentinel re-
porter who was present.
mo" answered Auditor Rice.
eyes, it is affirmed Cottrel
'The truth is" remarked the Auditor, ''Mr.
Murphy's appointment was strongly opposed. No
one asked that he should be reappointed. That,
alone, would have prevented it. because no one
could be appointed member of the commission
if his friends should come around urging it.
There was nothing for the State officers to do,
under the circumstances but reappoint Mr..
Murphy, because III was only proper for them to
stand by their own act

disputed Territory,

There is a small tract of land, adjacent to
Green island, in the Ohio riser, near Evansville,
which is claimed as the territory of two States,
and there has been some dispute over it of a
trivial nature, between Indiana and Kentucky.
The islands in the river belong to Kentucky, but
The Green island land lies on the Indiana side;
but it is claimed that the channel of the river
ran north of it. while the State boundary line
was also established north Ct It, For this rea-
son, Kentucky claims that the land belongs to
her territory, and recently a sheriff from that
State came over and attached some personal
property on that land. Governor Gray, while
Rt Evansville this week, inquired into the ques-
tons involved in the dispute, but he has reached
no conclusion regarding the matter.
