DIR. Newman on General Grant.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 2l--In an int. view
the Rev ]. p. Newman gave some interesting
unpublished facts in regard to Grant which his
intimacy with the General makes trustworthy.
He said: 1.-THE often-rcpeated statement that
Grant was the author of Badeau's Life is with
out foundation. Grant did look over tho proof
sheets, but made material change Badeau's
Life would have been one of the most sue
ceesful books ever published in America
had it been properly pushed. 'fne Appletons,
who issued it, had no sympathy with Grant.
and did little to aid the sale. Badeau turned
over the copyright to Grant, but the General
never realized anything on it, lie ought to have
received as much as Sherman got for his me-
noirs When the Appletons published jeff
Davis's book they made extraordinary efforts to
push it, with the result that it Melted the author
something like $50, co., There's been much ex-
aggeraiion of the amount which the Century
Company pay Grant for his historical series.
Their first con tract was for $500 per month while
he is writing the series. When the magazine
reached such great sale they voluntarily in
creased this to 81. 600 monthly.
DR.. Newman added that he had not given up
the hope of the passage of the measure by the
next Congress, retiring Grant. He intimateG

CONVICTED OF CONSPIRACY.
Termination of the Trial in the Famous
Chicago Ballot Fraud Cases.
Joseph G. Mackin, William J. Gallagher and
Arthur Gleason Found Guilty-Defend-
ants Released on Heavy Bail.

CHICAGO. Feb. 21-The trial of Joseph C.
Aackin, William j. Gallagher, Arthur Gleason
and Henry Bieht, on charge of conspiracy to
affect the result of the election for Congressman
in the Fourth Illinois district, at the Presiden-
tial election, last November, was concluded to-
day and resulted IN the conviction of Mackin Gal
iagher and Gleason, and the acquittal of Bieht
The trial has been in progress over two weeks,
and every point has been stubbornly contested
by nearly score of lawyers. When the prose
cution rested Its case it had apparently proved
what it set out to do Three days were spent in
arguments and the judges charge and the case
was given to the jury at noon to-day, with the
result stated above
The jury came In with its yer
dict at $50 o'clock this evening
The greatest excitement prevailed in and around
the court-ro when the verdict was announced
The attorneys for the defendants at once
moved for new trial Other indictments are
pending against most of the defendants, both in
federal and State courts, and Mackin is under
bonds, in various cases, to the amount
of $40, GEO to $780, 900. The case has at
tracted unusual interest, because in its bearings
it touches the Senate of the United States;
because of the badness of the fraud in it's exc
cution, and because of the sensational develop
ments at the trial. The fraud excited great
indignation in this city, and committee of lead
ing citizens was formed, comprising prominent
men of both the Democratic and Republican
parties and large fund was raised to push the
prosecution to successful issue.
Mack;n is a working politician and has held
a prominent position in the councils of the party
in this city, being secretary of the Democratic
county, city and district committees. Gallagher
has been less prominent, but he has taken an
active part in politics in a small way, since his
arrival here from Philadelphia. Gleason is a
Republican, and has been an active worker, also
in small way.
Both Mackin and Gallagher were released on
bail soon after the verdict the bond in each case
being $40, 900. NJ. G. Mcdonald, and Clark
street saloon-keeper named Kavanaugh are sure
ties for the whole amount. Gleason's bond re-
mains at s., 900, and he was also released.

intensity Of feeling was manifested during the
march from the barracks to Westminster bridge
The streets were so thronged with multitudes
that it was almost impossible for the soldiers to
force passage through. AS soon as the
Guards came in sight the air was rent with
cheers, ami long after they passed out Of view
the enthusiasm continued to find expression in
repeated huzzas. Arrived at tho bridge, the
guards found the Prince of Wales, accompanied
by his daughters, waiting to bid them God speed
The Prince signaliZed the event by appearing in
the uniform Of the guards He addressed them
briefly. encouraging them to high endeayor. and
expressing the hope that the necessity for their
absence from England might be of brief dura-
ton. The royal party remained while the
Guards embarked upon the steamer to take them
to Gravesend.

tHclmbold Hunting His Advertisements.


Special to the Indianapolis journal.
New YORK. Feb. 21-The strange manner Of
a man in front of q bill -posted fence, in upper
Broadway, attracted great deal of attention.
The space was covered by the flaming advertise
ments of dozen different medicines be-
sides theatrical announcements. An excited
scrutiny of the posters was being made
by this Individual small, brisk, grizzled
fellow, wearing good clothes, and having
the air of one fretted by business. cares. He ran
his eyes from top to bottom of the fence and
from side to side, as though searching for some
thing which ought to have been there and wasn't.
He was Henry T. Hembold, once famous as the
buchu maker, and he was looking for placards of
that medicine, which he fancied ought to be con-
spicuously displayed. He has lately been released
from an insane asylum, presumably cured; but
il is said that he imagines himself flourishingly
in his business again. He declared on this occa-
sion that he would procure the arrest of the
bill-sticker who had destroyed his printing in
stead Of posting it.
