ALMOST A MURDER.
A Negro Named zack Martin Makes a
Brutal Assault Upon W. r. Carey
With an Ax-Mr. Carey in
Critical Condition

Up to couple of weeks since the firm of
GODS & Smith, who operate the cooper
shop formerly owned by Carey & Co., had
in their employ a colored man named ;Zack
Martin. This man filled the position OF
driver, and was in the habit of allowing
span of mules to walk to the stable by them
selves after he had unhitched them for the
night, On one of the cold evenings in
January Martin released the loDg-eared auI-
mails as usual, but instead OF walking quietly
to their stable they went rapidly down the
street in the direction of the river. They
finally arrived at the Belt, near Shelby
street. and one of them crossed the track in
safety, but the other was struck by an engine
and instantly killed. The next morning
the careless colored man was discharged,
Tot by w. r. Carey, the foreman Of the es-
Establishment, as he supposed. but by the pro-
prietoIs of the shop, Feeling certain how
ever that Mr.. Carey was the cause of mis-
having received his walking papers" Mar
tin determined to have revenge, and it is
said threatened several times to do up"
both the man who took his place and the
aforesaid foreman. Martin loitered about
the shop great deal, and late yesterday
afternoon when Mr.. Carey entered the engine
room on an GRAND he found him there
talking to the engineer and another en-
ploye. The foreman spoke TO Martin very
weather. He then turned to leave and Just
as he was about to pass through the door,
Martin seized an ak which was lying near
by and dealt him terrific blow in the back
OF the head. Mr.. Carey fell to the floor, and
before the engineer and the other employe
could realize what had occurred the black
scoUndrel dashed out of the room and
escaped. His victim was picked I'D ia an
unconscious condition and removed to the
Surgical Institute, where his wound was ex-
amined by the attending physician. The
blood oozed In great quantities from the cut,
which was about an inch deep and several
inches long. It was found that the skull
was dented, and had the blow bean a little
heavier death would have been instan tame
Gus. From the Institute Mir. Carey was re-
moved to bis residence, Oh Blackford street,
where, at a late hour last night, be was
lying in q critical condition. The police at
once instituted a dilligent search for Martin,
but at last accounts he had not been appre-
hended,

in proportion as investigation was closer, the
Treasurer's character would have risen
higher.
II there was truth in the charges OF the
minority, who so much interested in the
development OF the Irregularities as the
Democrats?
Is the Treasurer of such consequences that
we can afford to impsril the success of the
party (the Legislature and United States
Senator in 1886, rather than that the touch
stone should be applied to his assets when
they had been challenged?
If those assets are actually whas they pur-
port to be, lie the Treasurer not asking good
deal of the party which has been SO generous
to him, when begging to be excused from
proving the sctuality OF the assets?
Is the situation of the party as enviable,
with its opponents charging it with having
shrunk from full investigation, as it would
be had the investigation into the validity
of the assets been allowed so searching that
the minority could not have dared to repeat
their charge?
These are questions which can be answered
in only one way. Our party has on its
hands, through the mistake that has been
made, fight which might by prompt and
full investigation been turned at once int
triumphant Democratic victory.

THE TREASURY INVESTIGATION.

The debate on the Treasury Investigation
was closed yesterday. Senator Willard
charged down the Republican lines with
terrible effect showing the falsity of their
pTetenses, and that instead OF acting for the
public veal they were simply trying to man
ufactuTe campaign material. Mr.. Wizards
position was that the investigation had gone
to the full statutory Limitation. While We
can not agree with the eloquent Senator
fully, still it can not be denied that the
thanks of the taxpayers OF the State are due
to Senator Willard for the great earnestness
and consistency which he has shown in car
rying through the bill which raises the
Treasurer Of Sta'e's bond to 500, 600. He
has won great triumph in his successful
management OF this bill.

DYNAMITE INCONSISTENCIES

1t is noticeable that the most inaAmel
press utterances against the dynamitards
to-day, sre from papers which lately
were hand in glove with dynamite
Irish element in the attempt 10 make James
G. Blaine President. TIE Tfibunes of New
York and Chicago, tina Commercial Gazette
of Cincinnati, the st Louis Globe Democrat
and the indianapolis Journal exhorted for
Irish votes with implied declarations that
Blaine was nothing short of an internal ma
chine with fuse lighted aud tined FOR an
explosion Immediately after the 4th of
March, which should blow the whole British
Government into smithereens. Whatever
semblance of justification the English peo-
pie have for charging that the dynamite
crusade is fostsred on American soil with
American tolerstion is found in the files OF
the Blaine papers during the campaign
which welcomed the cooperation of Patrick
Ford and the irish World in their efforts to
elect Blaine. On this subject the New York
Evening Post says to the organs:
You knew wha he was Just as well then as you
do now. You knew that the business of his news
paper was the collection of money for dynamite
Outrages and for the protection of assassins. You
snew that in the same is OF his paper in which
be was supporting Blaine he was announcing
fund.-" and was openly avOwing the object OF that
fund TO be dynamite warfare on England. Know
ing all this, you quoted from his paper with ad-
miring comments
This was not mere toleration-it was d.
rect encouragement" says the Post and il
asks:
which are exciting the horror of Christendom
were not planned during the Blaine campaign
planned, too, with the expectation that Blaine
would be elected and would adopt rolcy which
would be in sympathy with them? That his Irish
supporters oeheved he would adopt such policy
as President can not be denied That was the
sole ground for their support of him, and the
Blaine editors who are now rolling their eyes in
horror were doing everything in their power 10
strengthen the belief. Blaine himself encourrged
that belief, and after the election publicly
ers, in the words which we quoted yesterday, for
Their strong and valuable support"
The later talk OF the organs indicates how
much of "tail twister" of the British lion
Blaine would have proven had he been
elected. 1t shows, too, how 6eluded were
the Irish who were seducsd into supporting
the Republican ticket. The Republican
party, as such, has never had any sympathy
with our Irish friends. 1t has studiously
ridiculed and denounced them until the
exigencies of the late campaign compelled it
to fawn to them In the hope of wheedling
their votes. Even our esteemed contem-
porary, the Journal, shifted from such de
scriptions as "hsnneled mouthed Irish,"
with fms on their legs" to all sorts of
honeyed phrases of admiration for Erin's
sons. But having failed to seduce enough
Irish votes to elect Blaine. the organs have
dropped their simulated devotion to Ireland
and hatred of England, and fallen back into
their natural abuse of all things Irish.

exceed in magnitude those Of any other life

WAS 1T JUST TO THE PARTY?

The msjority in the Senate, following in
the footsteps of the majority in the House,
contents itself with the Treasury situation,
and refuses TO make further investigation.
1t is a victory foT-whom2 For whomever
it was he can say, in the words of the Mace
DOMAIN General, after one OF his successful
battles: Another such victory as this and
am undone."
For whomeYer the victory was won it was
not for the Democratic party in Indiana.
Our friends OF the majority may view the
matter differently. Time will tell who
judged correctly, the Sentinel or they.
We concede to none greater zeal for the
success OF the Democratic party, National,
State or County We concede to none more
loyal support of the Democracy and its can
didates than the Sentinel always gives. We
point to the Sentiners record in the late
campaign when it had TO fight through its
columns and in the courts the double fight
waged against the Indiana Democracy. Ia
the future no less faithfully than il the
past will the Sentinel be found laboring to
advance the party. Only the good of the
party has moved the appeals we have been
making for clear mirroring of the condition
of the Treasury.

have ssserted) no amount OF Investigation
could show it in wrong condition. AID just
