to-day, in the case of the State VS.. John Harvey
ct al, charged with disturbing a Mormon mis-

consequent inability of the authorities to serve
the necessary papers. The facts are that two
Mormon missionaries have been making their
rendezvous at the residence of Squire Scott,
for the purpose of ensicing the young and unso-
phistieated to take up with their peculiar and
outrageous religious faith. The citizens became
alarmed. and the practices Of the Morfnons be-
coming intolerable, they politely requested Mr..
Scott not to harbor them longer, whereupon he
became augered and filed these charges. The
jury for the case is now being impaneed.

Edwin Goodspeed Pardoned at the Request of
Ex-Governor Hamilton.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
BLooMINGToN April 8--Governor Oglesby
today granted an application of Ex-Governor
Hamilton for pardon for Edwin Goodspeed, of
this city, who was sent to Joliet prison March
IT, 1880, for twenty seven years for murder. In
October, 1872 Goodspeed, in fracas at the
Mclean county fair grounds while intoxicated,
stabbed ono Silas Stolz, who died in q few days.
Goodspeed, who was an engineer on the Chicago
& Alton railway, was ably defended by Leonard
SWEET, OF Chicago and Rowell & Hamilton, of
this city. The latter was afterward Governor,
and it was reported that Hamilton had par
doned Goodspeed as the last act of his guberna-
torial career; but he preferred to let the matter
stand for his successor, although the pardon was
asked for by enormous petitions signed by all
classes of people Goodspeed was a most ex-
emplary convict. He is aged about thirty, and
intends returning to reside here with bis aged
father and mother, who have made the greatest
sacrifices in his behalf

Importance of Indiana to Democratic Plans

Importance of Indiana to Democratic Plans
for Perpetuating Party Power.
Special to New York Commercial Advertiser
The Democrats are little concerned over the
feud between Hendricks and Mcdonald for fear
1t will endanger their chances of carrying the
Indiana Legislature In the coming fall and make
IL Impossible to carry out their boosted intention
OF eiectlng one OF their own faith to succeed
Senator Ben Harrison in the United States
Senate Hendricks would rather see Eepub-
hcan elected than see Mcdonald holding down
a seat III the Senate Chamber, and knowing the
almost universal desire among Democrats to
have the latter chosen to that high position,
it is suspected that Hendricks, if he thinks
democratic success means the triumph of his
rival, will do what he can ION the quiet to
bring about the election of Republican. In
diana is one of the States the Democrats count
upon as sure for their side, and they seem to
feel as if only split in their ranks can make
them lose the election there
Concerned in the results in Indiana is deep
laid scheme of the Democrats to capture the en-
tire control OF the government. Were the Sem
ate only In their hands, their triumph would be
complete. Could they. during President Cleve-
lands administration, only manage to get the
upper hand in the Senate, it would not be long
before the State Of Texas would be divided into
four or five States, and some six or eight
more Democratic senators made a GER
talnty. 1t would not cause the conscience
OF Democrat any uneasiness if Utah
with its polygamy and all, were admitted to the
Union. Any other Democratic Territory would
do as we'll, but it is very certain that the oppor
tunity would not be allowed to go by unheeded.
The terms of twenty-five senators expire with
the close of the Forty ninth Congress, and mean
while will come the tug of war. Sixteen of the
twenty-five are Republicans and nine Demo
Gratis Several of the Republicans, Harrison of
Indiana, Miller of California Miller of New
York. Sewell of New Jersey Hawley of Connec-
ticut, Malone of Virginia, and others, for in
stance, hail from States that are now very close
and there the Democrats hope to witness revo-
luton or two The United States Senate is now
all they want, and they will bend every energy
and stake everything in the way of federal
patronage to secure the control of that body.

All About the Zeraba.

chicago Inter-0cean.
The zeraba is a native light barricade con-
tructed in the form of a square, and, by the
rabs, was made of mimosa brush, piled with
re prckly branches outward, and built high
iough to make the offer to overleap them i'm
racticable. The sharp, jagged branches present
i forb;dding aspect to the Arabs and blacks. who
have no taste for finging their naked bodies
against them
The great tactics of the Arabs is to attack by
crushing, in the hope to overwhelm, by the
very impetus of the assault, the waiting enemy.
AS means of checking this rush" the zeraba
has been found very effective, and the English
adopted the native example a very excellent
provision against decisive charge from the
enemy in open lighting. But any sort of super
fetal fertilization flung up to meet temporary
requirement is now referred to in the dispatches
as zeraba. 1t corresponds, in fact, to the
fence-raI breastworks and the light earthworks
thrown up by our own troops III the war for the
Union. The principle of construction is very
old one undoubtedly, aud is very good one in
primitive warfare where the serious fighting is
in hand-to hand encounters. In China the
practice is o fayorite one of thrusting long bam-
boo rods, sharpened to point, into the escarp
of their breastworks which very painfully re-
tards too reckless charge. The zeraba has
been o. invaluable aid to the British in the

Grant, Our Hero, Who LIZ Dying.
From Manhattan, near the sunrise.
Prayers go up each morn and eve.
Asking God to ease the suf'r ring
Ola ''chieftain," whom we grieve.
From the city near the sunset
Come sweet vespers soft and low.
And our hearts are filed with sadness
For the Silent Man. we know.
From the towns on inland rivers,
From the hamlets by the sea,
Hear the hum of .nvriad voices
United in deep sympathy
From the highlands and the lowlands,
From the North, East West and South.
Words in praise of the "Old Commander"
Quickly pass from mouth to mouth.
But words of praise are of short duration;
Tokens of love soon fade away;
Remembrance is all of the past that's left us
To gid the gloom of dark, sad day.
To gid the gloom of day soon coming,
When this great Nation shall mourn as one;
Shall mourn and weep Ger him who saved it
Whose life is fnished-whose work s well done
