Money and Other Troubles OF the Inaugural
ton Finance Committee.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10-A few days ago / in
timated in my dispatches to the Journal that the
finance committee of the committee on inaugu-
ration was experiencing some trouble. It devel-
ops that the trouble is not alone encountered in
money raising. There are discussions among
the committeeman. AT the last meeting of the
finance committee, on Friday, it is said, two
or three of the members talked very
harshly about the way the work of securing
funds was and was not proceeding, and there
ere limitations thrown out that breakers were
ahead, and of such proportions as to induce
some of the committee to resign. One of the
committeeman said there was too much arbitrari-
ness in the management; that there had been an
organization for several weeks and there had not
only not been any money collected, but no effort
made. Everything that had been done was
wrong, he said The officers were not Endorsed
in their work by the committee, and good deal
of feeling was shown.
To-day there has been some undertone talk
about the outlook for defraying the expenses
of inauguration. The finance committee hav-
ing made bad start, it is feared much difficulty
will be in the way of collecting sufficient funds
to iiquidate the debts before the arrangements
are perfected. It is said subscription books are
to be circulated all over the State of New York
and in the principal cities of the South. A few
voluntary contributions have already been sent
in. They come mostly from politicians who are
soliciting favors and from wealthy men in the

A Mormon Haven of Refuge.

SALT LAKE, Utah, Jan. 10--Recently, some
high Mormons returned from Mexico. They
reached the stronghold of the untamable Yaqui
savages and made conditional treaty with
them Within few days John Taylor head of
the Mormon Church. Chief Counselor Smith,
Bishop Sharp and others, have left
here. 1t is known that they are en-
route to Mexico, and it is believed they have
gone to the capital to treat with the Mexican
government for lands and a charter like the Nau-
VOC charter: that the plan is to make a rendez-
vous for Mormons liable to prosecution under
the Edmunds law and also to form the nucleus
of future empire. In their favor is the fact
that the Yaquis have never been subdued. The
people of the northern Mexican States fear them
exceedingly.

A JAY GOULD IN FRoCKs.
Some Astonishing Phases of the Commercial
Career of Miss Maud st. Pierre.

Career of Miss Maud st. Pierre.
Martin Letter in Nashville American.
IS Miss Maud st. Pierre has become we'll
known to the readers of the American as a CAPT
talist and successful business woman, perhaps a
bit of her private life will be of some interest so
them. During the fall of 1873 the yellow fever
was raging throughout the entire southern por-
ton of the Mississippi valley and among many
other places scourged by that terrible disease
was the infant town of Martin. Miss
st. Pierre, hearing of our distress, came
and offered her services as nurse and remained
here not only during the continuance of the
fever, but for a year after During her stay
here she became known to almost every citizen
of the town, and, as she is quite social and com
municative, we learned much of the private his
tory of this most remarkable woman from her
own lips
Miss st. Pierre was born on sailing vessel
in midocean, while her parents were on their
way from Europe to this country, and it may be
that this early sea voyage is the cause of Miss
st. Pierres great fondness for the sea. She has
not only visited all portions of the United
States, but there is not a continent or an
island which she has not either visited or become
perfectly familiar with by a thorough course of
reading. She has taken quite an active part in
politics in the United States in private way on
some occasions, most notably during the Green
back agitation. She claimed to have inherited
much artistic skill from her father, and executed
an oil painting while here that was sent to her
with several different families during her stay
here, and was entirely without means. and when
it was announced in the fall Of 1879 that the
yellow fever had again broken out in Memphis
she was furnished with means to go to Memphis
by one of our citizens, for the purpose, as she
said. of nursing the sick.
We heard of her afterward in Washington,
and then for year or two we lost sight of her.
until she turned up in the mountains of Ten
nessee and began to build railroads, erect fur
naces and open mines and craze private secre-
taries. Miss st. Pierre inherited her mining
talent from her mother, as she was very sue
cessful in operating lead mines in>the West, and
accumulated large fortune from the same and
built a magnificent residence in Peoria, ILL.,
This property afterward fell into the possession
of sharp and INSCRIPTIONS son-in-law, and
left the family penniless. The success of Miss
st. Pierre. rising from penniless nurse to the
possession of vast wealth in the short space of
few years. is equal to the success of the mill
