FRANK ASH'S RECORD.
The Man on Whose Unsupported Word Post
man Storms Was Dismissed.

Frank Ash, the street car driver, upon whose
marily discharged Henry Stems. the letter
carrier, has record. 1t begins upon the mayors
docket and reads as follows:
Estate of Indiana VS.. Frank Ash, No. 1885,
''Be it remembered that on this 9th day of
January, 1881, came j. F. Hennessy and filed an
affidavit charging the defendant with the crime
Of grand larceny, upon which q warrant was
issued for the arrest of the defendant and the
marshal on the 9th day Of January 1881, re-
turned the same served by bringing the defend
ant into court, and the defendant having been
arraigned for plea says he is not guilty as
charged, and valves an examination. Where
upon l require the defendant to enter into a
recognizance in the sum of 800 for his appear
ance at the first day of the next term Of the
Marion Circuit Court. Witness my signature,
u. CAvEN, Mayor"
It will thus be seen that while Letter-carrier
Stems was yet new in the postal business, Mr..
already placed his name upon the impershable
scroll of history.
To still further show the wonderful precocty
of the new Civil-service Commissioner, under
whose instructions Postmaster Jones is admins
tering his Office, the court docket bears testi-
mony that on Feb. 13 1881, the grand jury re-
ported, recommending that Frank Ask, with a
number of other well known citizens, be sent to
the House of Refuge. The other candidates
were Frank Whiting, Chill Sullivan, Frank
Jonas, George w. Young, Edward Brewer, John
i. Barber and Valentine Hogarty. Mr. Ash had
sufficient talent to entitle him to a place at the
States prison. but, being little under sixteen
years old, he could not achieve that high honor.
He stood trial. and on May 90 1881, on the
recommendation of the grand jury, he was sent
TO the House of Refuge, the Indiana Reform
School for boys, ito remain there until he is re-
formed, or attains the age of twenty-one years,
unless sooner legally discharged And the sher
liz Of Marion county is charged with the duty
and execution of the foregoing Judgment"
1t will thus be seen that Mr.. Ash, who pre-
vailed upon Postmaster Jones to discharge Henry
Sterns, the letter-carrier. is a true reformer,
graduate OF the Indiana Reform School, at
Plainfcld.

testimony in regard to Marshall A Sellerss

bridge over small stream near Allsonville. It
was shown that the bridge was not unsound. No
decision was made, but it is probable that the
Commissioners will dsallow the claim altogeth-

WICHITA, KS, June 29.-The dis
patches of Sunday morning, and the
assurances of the department. at Wash
ington to the contrary notwithstsnd-
lug, the excitement is still at fever
heat at Reno and Darlington,
in the Indian Territory, and the
attitude of the Cheyennes is
very threatening. The special dis
patches TO tho Eagle of last Saturday
we're read to some pretended friendly
Indians on Sunday and their grunts
of disapproval were long and loud.
The Eagle is in receipt OF two more
specials to-day in which it il asserted
that tbs Indians will make a
desperate resistance if asked TO surren-
der their arms, which could only have
been done under President Arthur's
order. Between the agency aud the
fort few Indians are to be seen about
the post, their warriors being gathered
at a point II miles distant on the North
Fork. A friendly Arapahoe brings in
the news that three white treighters
were murdered near tnS CduIOuInoul
By Cheyenne Indians. Scouts are fol-
lowing the trail in all directions. Fort
Reno is under double row of senti-
nels, and no Indian is allowed inside.

miles up the river, and

made. There we 9, when the last

AGAIN ON DECK.

And now, after years absence
from the State on official business IN
its interest, the editor-in-chief OF The
HERALD resumes his post. He re-
turns from the field of his recent
labors more than ever in love with |
Texas after full comparative review
of the whole country's best attractions,
more than ever in admiration OF her
remarkable resources as presented,
and more hopeful than ever OF the
brilliant future that awaits
her unparalleled possibilities. A
recognized empire within herself,
capital and labor alike from every
section of the Union and of Europe
are beginning to supplement inquiry
about her conditions by actual prepar-
alton for early and hearty participa-
ii on in the benefits that await intelii-
gent investment. Each portion OF
Texas has its special attractiveness to
the several desires of cosmopolitan
life, and il should be considered the
duty as it ought to be the pleasure
and the pride of every citizen TO foster
and to contribute TO the development
of all parts OF State that is at once
the glory of this country and
the destined centre OF power
political and industrial before another
decade shall whiten the hairs of a Wig
orous manhood that is now making
our history. In close conformity with
these views The HERALD will strive
to be leading factor in the good
work. For moro than a third of a CEN
fury, in fine weather and in foul, it has
labored increasingly to advance this
city from its teeblest beginnings to its
present proud position, fighting its
battles and rejoicing in sll its success
SEES, and it proposes to so order its
household for the future that when
even the little remnant Of this fast
fading century shall have expired
those who may then be in charge OF
THE HERALD in perhaps the richest
as well as the most populOus city in
the South, save one, as well as the peo-
pie Of all this section, will thank az for
an inheritance that was born OF our la
Dor and nurtured by the appreciative
patriotism of our patrons.

his quiet as an evidence of suffering or
discomfort; indeed in the afternoon
he wrote upon his pad, tell
ing DIR. Douglas that he
had no pain and that he
was feeling as well as
on Sunday. The prolonged quiet
of the sick man, however,
did not assure all his friends, and it
having become evident to him that
such was the case, he wrote upon his
pad, during the afternoon, these
words:
"Do as do, take it quietly. l give
myself not the least concern. If ]
knew that the end WAS to be to-mor-
row,I would try and get rest in the
meantime. AS long as there is no
profess there is hope"
This was clearly calculated by him
to be message of assurance. In some
quarters, however, the comparative
absence OF pain and the prolonged
quiet of the general were regarded as
unfavorable indications.
During the afternoon DR.. Douglas
was asked what significance might be
fairly attached to the comparative
subsistence Of pain in the affected
parts?
He said the indications were that the
Gnawing or corroding of the ulcers was,
for the time being, abated, but that
weakness might Increase without eX-
trsordinsry pain.
Between s and 8 o'clock the general
was put to bed. He complained at the
time of no pain. His throat was quite
clear of mucous and at $3.50 he seemed
to be sleeping.

FISH'S SENTENCE.

1t is Just and righteous that FISH,
the president Of the Marine Bank,
should be punished for the swindling
operations for which he has been con-
victed. The sacred trust reposed in
him by persons Of every grade Of life
in leaving IN his custody the money
which, in many cases, was their all,
has been shamefully betrayed, and in
his greed for wealth, far in excess Of
what was necessary for ample and
and even luxurious support, he de-
scended to forgery and robbery, There
is no Disgusting these fscts, and it
would be involving ourselves in a
semi. criminal weakness to deny the
Justice of the sentence or desire TO
mitigate it's full force.
And yet there is something very sad
In the spectacle of a man beyond the
meridian of life and accustomed to
the qualification OF every wish that
money could obtain, standing up be
fore the grim warden and changing
his brosdcloth for the stripes Of his dis
grace! 1t is sad to think that man Of
his age should be thrust into the mar
row confines OF coffin dungeon and
the light excluded from those skies
whose arch he may never again be-
hold. The coarse diet Of the prison ;
! the brutal but mute association of those
rougher criminals who are forever
TO be mis- peers; the harsh command
of the cruel turnkey and gang-driver
are TO be his portion the rest Of his
brief life. 1t is worse than death, and
is the beginning of that death which
would afford him 80 much relief. And
vet no is not allowed even TO die.
But sorrowful as must be the picture
yet society's demands are more urgent
in such an instance than that Of The
burglar or the horse thief. II is one o.
the truths that every leglslatinl
statesman must admit and every jur
let conform to that the certainty ant
severity of the penalty must DO il
direct proportion 10 the facility Will
which the criminal can DO committed
Hence in prairie countries, where tn,
theft of stock can be so easily perpe
trated and successfully accomplished
thepunishment is very severe aud tn
retribution swift. So in such in
stances as that of FISH. There is II
trouble for men in his position TO rol
lie don't even have the trouble c
Z going for his booty; 1t is brought t
0 him and laid q. his feet. The widoy
8 and the orphan are his wards and h
a plucks from them the very bread c
= life, Hence it is g shocking crime s
ea'ily committed that the applicatio
OF the principle above referred to
? especially necessary. In word, it
: soclety's safeguard, and although ns
u tursl sympathy may somewhat shrin
in the contemplation Of the disgrsC
. and suffering of an old man, yet mere
to our fellowman, as well as sternt
justice, demands and requires the II
n fiction of the direst punishment.
