THE ICE In THE RIVER.
The Appearance of the Usually Placid Stream
The Skating Of Forty Years Ago

The river has fallen considerably, and is run
night will weld it all together and cover the sur
face with solid sheet everywhere, except on
swift rifles" The cakes of running ice and
the border ice of the banks present queer APP
pearance The cakes are floated along, ground
continuously against the firm border ice or
against each other, and this grinding rounds off
the cakes and covers the outer edges with a
raised rim of crushed ice that freezes and makes
each one look like fat platter with thick rim
of broken silver, while the bank ice is heaped
with similar border In some places there are
half dozen in close rows where the freezing
has extended the surface into the river. and
made new edge for the cakes to grind upon.
The whole of the open water, if the misnomer
may be applied, is covered so closely with these
round or elliptical cakes of two to four or five
feet in diameter, that small boy might cross
the river by jumping from one to another as
Eliza does the Ohio in ''Uncle Toms Cabin"
Just below the mouth of the trunk sewer the
river was closed soldly yesterday, and full fifty
boys were skating there at one time under THAT
used to be known as the high banks" 1t was
as lively a scene any of the ''rinks" could
show, with good deal more room for the skat-
ers to play in 1t reminded the old reporter of
the scenes on the river forty odd years ago, when
there was little skating anywhere else except on
now Kentucky avenue. The water left over the
bottoms east and west is all frozen, and corn
fields and acres of wild hemp and rag weeds
look as if they had been artifcially set with
these growths, as the Russians set birch and fir
trees along their ice avenues on the Neva.

COMMISSIONER MALoTTS SUCCESSOR.
The State Officers Reject the Governors
Choice-James F. Failey Appointed.

James F. Failey was elected member of the
indianapolis Board of Metropolitan Police Com
missioners, yesterday morning, to fill the vacan-
cy occasioned by the resignation of V. T. Malott.
It develops that Mr. Faiey was the choice of the
Democratic State officers from the first, and of
the dozen or more men whose names were pro-
posed for the position by the Governor objection
was made to all. The name of E. III.
Dean was suggested by one of the Dem.
ecrats, and the Governor replied
chat Mr. Dean, whom he knew well,
would be very acceptable to him. However. the
Democratic officers refused to vote for Mr. Dean
The Governor proposed J. ]. Turner. the super
fntendent of the indianapolis & Vincennes rail
road, but objection was made to him. ''Well,
gentlemen" finally asked the Governor, shave
you determined to elect Mr. FaileyY' eve
have" answered Mr. Cooper.
The Governor remarked that it would not be
unnecessary for him to vote, and added,
that although he was not opposed to
Mr.. Failey, he preferred some person
whom he knew. He had no acquaintance
with Mr.. Failey, and knew of him only through
reports which were of conflicting character
regarding his Republcanism. He had been
told that the gentleman was an independent in
politics, and at the last election had voted for
Cleveland. He had been assured that Mr.
Failey was good man, but the Governor said
that he did not feel disposed to vote for him
without having more positive knowledge con
cerning his politics Mr. Failey was elected by
The vote of the three Democratic State officers.
The Governor did not vote
When Mr.. Malott was elected the Democratic
State officers conceded to the Governor his pref
erence in the selection Of the Republican com
missioner Not only, however, was he denied
his choice, this time of nearly dozen we'll
known citizens whose names were proposed but
besides the discourtesy which was shown. the
insulting insinuation was made by w. r. Myers,
the State Secretary, that the Governor was
afraid of public disapproval.
A commission was issued to Mr.. Faley yes
terday afternoon for Mr.. Malott's unexpired
term, which ends in January, 1886. However,
when asked by Journal reporter last evening
If he would accept the appointment, he replied
positively that he would not, for the reason that
his election had been without the vote of the
Governor.

THE MISSING MONEY FOUND.
Ehe Package for the Alleged Theft of Which
O'Hara Was Arrested Found Unopened.

The Adams Express Company money package,
containing SO, 500, which unaccountably disap.
peared on last Tuesday evening was found in
the safe at the Union Depot during Friday
night by James o. Gambia, the night agent at
Che depot The seals were unbroken, and the
package bore no evidences of having been tam
pered with, further. than that it seemed to have
Been worn some by handling When
shown to the Journal reporter it looked
Eke it might have been carried about in some
body's pocket for day or two The safe in
which the package was found had been searched
snumber of times after the money disappeared,
both by O'Hara and Manager Henderson. and
here is hardly any doubt of its having been
placed where it was found sometime since
last Thursday 'eThe recovery of the package
Manager Henderson stated to the Journal re-
porter, ''s as much of a mystery to as its dis
appearance
us any one suspected of having returned the
package to the safe!" was asked.
Il do not care to say Probably l will know
more about the matter on Monday" was the
answer.
Mr.. Henderson says that, from the written
statement given by OHara, with others from
nine of the employees of the company, the evil
dence all indicated that O'Hara was responsible
for the loss of the money package, and his arrest
was made upon the advice of A. w. Hendricks
90 whom the written testimony was submitted
IL was learned that a stranger had called to see
him at the depot on the evening of the disap-
pearance of the money, and that he had been
called aside at the uptown Office a number of
Hmes by one or two of the agents of the Gray
lottery, who seemed to be on intimate terms
With him. These were some of the circumstances
that strengthened the suspicious which caused
him to be arrested. The stranger who called to
see him at the depot it was afterward learned
was friend of O'Hara's, who is known to be a
young man of integrity. Manager Henderson
states while the appearances were all decidedly
against young O'Hara, the finding of the money
vindicates him. He was guilty of some careless
ness, Mr.. Henderson says, but there is no longer
any suspicion upon his character. The company
has confidence in his integrity, and has offered
him position with promise of promoting him
soon.
O'Hara states that he will return to work for
the company. He was advised by his friends to
bring suit for damages. but he is disposed to ac
eept the company's offer to make reparation for
the wrong done him by restoring him to trusted
position in their employ.
1t Is said that a short time ago money pack
age containing small amount, consigned by
Dan ID. Donough, was lost by the Adams COM
pany, and after a week or more had elapsed
when Mr.. Donough made complaint that the
money had not been received by the person to
whom it was directed, search was instituted
and the package was found in pigeon-hole
where it had been carelessly thrown.

JOE KING IN TROUBLE!
KILLS JAMES MORGAN IN A DRUNKEN
Row AT COLUMBUS

Most of our citizens will remember a
boy named Joe King, who used to work
about the furnaces and mines here. He
is brother of John King, who used to
blow a furnace here, and who went to
Columbus to engage in the same business.
John married Miss Jose Ryan, of this
place. Joe left here some years ago, and
has been at Columbus most of the time
since. His mother still resides here.
Joe is said to be a very quarrelsOme,
disagreeable person when drunk, and on
Saturday night, the 18th, he got on good,
old-fashioned, roaring drunk. He had
been to Pittsburgh seeking work as pud-
dler, but failing to find it, came back to
Columbus and went to work on farm,
short distance in the country. On the
Saturday night mentioned, he went to the
city to purchase some clothing, but got
drunk. He went to his brother Johns sa-
loon, but was ordered away, when he
went to Frank Behlen's, where he met
James Morgan, who was also drunk.
King and the bar-keeper tell different stO-
ries as to what occurred here, but the bar
k66ptl ID COIIOCts llC oIdOCo
that Morgan and King began to spar in a
playful manner, when King threw his
hands up, striking himself in the mouth.
This enraged him, and in his drunken
frenzy, imagining that Morgan struck
him, he stepped to the far end of the sa-
loon, picked a pop-bottle out of a case, and
struck Morgan over the head with it..
Both were taken to prison, but Morgan
was afterward released on bail, and on
the following Tuesday he died from the
effects of the blow. King was still held.
Joe is now about twenty-eight years
old. He was for years about the streets
of Jackson, as boy, and was one of the
best-known boys around. But he was a
little on the rough order. Joe's trouble,
like that of most criminals, was caused
by whisky. He so stated himself, in an
interview in his cell. He claims that
Morgan struck him in the mouth twice.
but admits that he was so drunk that his
recollection of the transaction is but dim.
