HORSEWHIPPED BY A WOMAN.
A Vincennes Widow Chastises Man Who
She Alleges, Told Lies About Her.
Rpecial 10 tho 1naianapolis Joarnal.

Special to tho INDIANAPOLIS Journal
VINCENNEs Ind, March 12.-An exciting
affair occurred this afternoon, which created
widespread excitement. Mrs. DR.. Bake, a well
known lady of this city, attacked Mr.. John
Google who is ia the employ of the Baltimore e.
Ohio Express Company. on one of the principal
streets near the postoffice, and gave him ter
rife horsewhipping, which Google resented as
best he could by striking back with book he
held in his hands. The affair drew large
krowd of spectators After Mrs. Bake had ex-
hausted her strength she threw the whip down
and left for home.
Your correspondent interviewed Mrs. Bake
on the subject. She said Google had been circu-
lating false reports concerning her reputation
She knew of no other way to secure justice than
by horsewhipping her defamer. She said that
Mr.. Google had told her this morning that it was
common rumor that she was too intimate with a
physician of this city. She could not rest under
the insult applied to her, and having no means
Of defense, concluded to take the case in her own
hands Google feels the humiliation Of the
scrape he has got into, and offers no defense
whatever, other than that he repeated no rumors
but those ne had often heard. Mrs. Bake Is o
member of the Baptist Church in high standing,
is a lady of untarnished reputation, and has al
ways been regarded as spotless and pure by those
who know her best. There is not the slightest
foundation for the vile calumnies that have been
heaped upon her. She is young widow about
thirty years Of age, extremely good looking. of
the brunette type, and generally admired. She
has been very successful in her profession, and
has probably aroused the envy of vicious gossips
The affair is the talk of the town. The public
almost unanimously indorse Mrs. Balkes action,
and she has received many congratulations for
her pluck in defending herself Mrs. Bake
deprecates the publicity the affair has given her.
but declares that.her reputation was at stake,
and that she was only intent upon self-protec-
ton from scandal mongers. Immediately after
the whipping she went to the mayors Office and
offered to pay fine, but his Honor told her she
had done right, and that no charges had been
made against her.

GENERAL GRANTS CONDITION.
Technical Description Of His Case from the
Columns of the Medical Record

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE Medical Record
for the 18th will contain the following:
Since the last bulletin of the Medical Record
was issued consultation has been held in
General Grants case attended by Doctors For
dyce Barker, J. II. Douglass, Henry B. Sands
and George F. Shrady At that time, March s,
the general condition of the distinguished patient
was quite feeble although he was able to walk
across his library and seat himself in chair for
the necessary examination of his throat. The lat
ter was possible without giving him pain 1t was
found that the liberation of the posterior pillar
OF the right fauces had extended, and that
the perforaton at the base of the an
terror pillar had increased SO that its
internal edge was converted into small bride
of tissue. The entire soft palate was uniformly
Redeemed and swollen, and the right posterlor
border of the tongue was indurated from a point
just in front of the anterior pillar of the fauces
as far back could be reached by the finger.
The gland under the right angle of the jaw was
still enlarged and hard, but quite movable. The
pain In the ear had entirely disappeared, and
there was no special difficulty in swallowing;
neither was there any marked salvation. The
most grateful application to the throat, next to
the spray of the 4-per-cent. solution of
cocaine, was that of hot solution of salt
and water in the proportion of five parts to the
thousand, used occasionally as gargle The
patient complained that his sleep was irregular
and fitful, and was thereby converting night into

change in the general treatment was suggested
The local applications employed by Dr. Douglass
were fully Endorsed, and the previous diagnosis
OF the disease of the throat was unanimously
confirmed The administration of the anodyne
was subsequently, attended with q good result
securing five hours of uninterrupted slumber at
q time. In the course of the following three
days the effect was not so marked, and another
sedative was prescribed The angry redness of
the palatal curtain has, in measure, disappeared

ominous appearance. The Lucrative process in
the anterior pillar has, since the consultation
extended to the adjoining side of the tongue, and
the bride OF tissue bounding the perforation of
the anterior pillar internally gave way on We'd
nesdaN During Thursday the patient was in q
reasonably, comfortable state, his temperature
was normal and his pulse regular, but he was
suffering somewhat from the effects Of insomnia
his digestion is good, and semi-solid food is
taken easily and with reasonable relish He
suffers no pain. In the face of all these general
symptoms, the local difficulty has markedly in.
creased and the parts in the vicinity of the
alterations are becoming more infltrated."

II is stated that the plan for selecting
judges decided upon by the Florida con-
stitutional convention is compromise
Those who favored electing and those who
favored appointing the judges were so
equally divided that It was deemed advis-
able to make an agreement of some kind
that would be generally acceptable. 1t
was, therefore, agreed that the Supreme
Court Judges should be elected and the
Circuit Court judges appointed.
II is "A question whether the people will
ratify this compromise. There does not
appear 10 ne any excellent reasons why
there should be one method of selecting
supreme Court judges and another
method for Circuit Court Judges.
As an excuse for the compromise, it is
stated that there Is not much danger that
inferior lawyers will get on the Supreme
Bench because of their popularity with
the people or their ability to manage po-
lltical conventions. but that there would
be danger of very Inferior lawyers becom-
ing Circuit Judges If these judges were
selected by the people.
There is some little force in this rea.
S'hAhNf bAA hoANi1 GhbASu W JhobAAg AHS
adoption of two systems.
Il the Governor would appoint better
Circuit Judges than would be elected, the
chances are that he would appoint better
Supreme Court Judges than would be
elected.
There isn't much doubt that the system
OF appointing judges is better than that
Of electing them. Experience has demon
strated quite satisfactorily that this is the
case. 1t isn't too late yet for the Florida
convention to reconsider it's action. 1t
isn't often that compromises are produc-
tive Of good results in matters Of this kind.
The same arguments that Justify the APP
pontment of Circuit Judges are applicable
in the cases of Supreme Judges. It's true
that there is not much danger that infe-
rior lawyers will get on the Supreme
Bench, but it is also pretty certain that
very few lawyers, however able they may
be, will get there who are not pretty
shrewd politicians.
The people, doubtless, who are doing the
most to build up Florida, would rather
have the judges Of all the courts appoint
ed than elected. While there is no dispO-
sition to advise the convention, there is
reason to think that it will do popular
thing if it finally provides that the Su-
preme Court Judges shall be appointed.

You cannot find in Washington better
satisfied man than the new Register of the
Treasury, Gen. Rosecrans. He gets salary
enough TO live well on, his duties are not
hard, he has pleasant room to receive his
friends in and plenty of time to fight the bat
tie OF Chickamauga over again and show that
there he won one OF the greatest victories of
the war. The General was sitting in hisOiiice
the other day when big First Auditor Cheno-
with, OF Texas, showing a couple of home
friends over the building, happened in. One
OF these friends he introduced as Captain
Jones'" They chatted few minutes when
1t seemed to dawn on the Captain that he was
talking with the famous Union General.
General" he said, II have a pistol down
home that belongs to you" How is that?"
asked Rosy" as the soldiers always
call him. "Well," said the Texan. during

Among the spoils we found a handsome pls-
tOl, engraved with your name, evidently n
present Of some kind. l carried it the r. ct of
the war. and have il now" Rosecrans
thought awhile, and finally remembered that
such pistol had been presented to him at
some fair to raise money for the sanitary com =
mission. 1t was then sent away to be en-
graved, but from that time to this he had
never seen it, and had given it up. The Tex
ans description of IL satisfied him that 1t was
the identical weapon. 1t is now on its way
from Texas, and when il arrives there is to
be scene, with speeches by Chenowith and
the rest.

The Cowbors, Renutntion.

IL seems that the reputation of the cow
boys has made an impression on the Car.
Ifwar had been declared between Eng
land and Russia q few months ago, when
rupture of the relations of the two coun-
tries appeared to be inevitable, it is not at
all improbable that the Car would have
accepted the offer OF the Dallas TEX, J
man to furnish him with 100 cowboys.
The cowboys of Texas and the West
appear to be more formidable as they are
seen through the medium of dime novels
or newspaper stories than they really are
Some of them, doubtless, are remarkable
for reckless courage, picturesque appear
ance, and good Workmanship, but the
majority of them are very commonplace
individuals, and desire nothing so much
as to be permitted to earn a living in as
quiet and transformations a manner as
possible.
The Dallas man, il he had been given
the opportunity, might have succeeded in
getting for the Gar hundred men from
the cattle herders of Texas whose love of
adventure and indifference to life would
have made very marked impress
sion as part Of the Russian
army, but unless there had been
greater liberality in compensating
them than there is in compensating the
Russian soldiers they would very soon
have wished themselves back with their
herds on the prairies.
Not very many years ago the Sultan of
| Turkey undertook to strengthen his army
/ by recruiting in this country. He re-
! quested the American Minister at Con-
| stantinople to offer ''Gen. Mclean" a very
/ large annual salary to take charge Of one
/ branch of the Turkish army. The Minis
/ ter made very diligent inquiry, but
/ couldn't md the American General by
| that name to whom the Sultan had re-
/ ference. A few months later he discovered
| that the Sultan had got hold Of pamphlet
! published by Mclean, the St. Louis pill
man, who claimed to have invented gun
! that would bring about universal peace
because of its great destructive power.
The gun was called the Peace
maker" The Sultan thought, perhaps,
that with Mclean and his gun he could
defy Europe.
Mclean didn't accept service in the
Turkish army, and it IS highly Improbable
that the prowess Of the the American
cowboy VIII be witnessed on the borders
! OF Afghanistan.
