some distance in the rear of the troops,
when sn onslaught was suddenly made
on him by band of the enemy. Bar.
rios fell murtallv wounded hv bullet,
and died in few minutes A desperate
truggle was made to cspture his body
from his bodygaard, and twenty Guate-
N alan soldiers were killed before the
5eneny we're repulsed and the attempt
abandoned. I. was in this fight that
Barrios's con fell. II is corsmnn belief
that Bsrrios was deliberately assassinsfed
by the intrigaes of Z,ldlvar, and that
the responsibility for the crime rests

'ceived from Guatemala containing q
proclamation by Zaldlvars making the
absurd claia that he had the promises
of protection from Mexico and the Uni
ted States, and that twenty American
men-oi-war and ganboats would be sent
TO his defence against Barrios. The

mass for the repose of the soul of the late King
Alfonso, of Spain, was celebrated at St Mat
tnew's Catholic Church. in this city at IL o'clock
this morning. Six hundred invitations, heavily
bordered with black, were issued to the President
and Cabinet. the diplomatic corps and others. The
auditorium of the church was draped in mourn
ing. In front of the altar rails stood the cata
falque. on which was state casket of black,
ornamented with silver. The base Of the cata-
falque was draped with Spanish flags surmounted
by the Spanish national coat-of-a arms. The altar
was dressed in black the pillars of the tabernacle
being entwined with black bunting. No flowers
were on the altar, and simple floral wreath
rested on the top OF the casket. President
Cleveland and Cabinet occupied seats in the
front pews on one side of the center aisle and
the Spanish legation the corresponding pews on
the other side. Back of these sat the diplomatic
corps and number of prominent people who had
been invited to be present Mozart's requiem
mass was sung by the regular church quartet,
assisted by special choir of thirty voices, and

A Plea for the Peddler.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journals
Having seen in your columns, on Tuesday, an
article headed 'Tax the Peddlers," have
thought best to reply to it. The animus of the
article is very plainly seen, and is the voice of
of the merchants of the city. Now, regarding
the proposed ordinance to make peddlers and
vendors of merchandise who come to your city
pay license of $25 day, on the hypothesis
that it would be productive source of revenue
to the city, it is a grand mistake. All peddlers
now pay the required license, whereas. If the
extravagant rate was charged they would never
enter the city, thereby cutting off this license of
revenue entirely. The article also referred
to three claiming to be from Ireland,
who sold thousands of dollars worth of goods,
to the injury of dealers in the city.
know nothing of these men, but was in your
trade, an importer of class of goods such as
your merchants do not keep. If was able to
furnish finer and better goods at less prices than
your citizens could get them elsewhere, it was
certainly benefit to the city in several ways.
The City Council will act unwisely by taking
any such action regarding peddlers who come to
your city / do regular and legitimate bust
ness throughout the United States, and can
show record of which any business man might
be proud. Therefore l take the liberty of ex-
pressing my views on the council business and
the proposed ordinance. There is not town in
the United States which thinks of charging over
ST. per day license If the Indianapolis dry
goods men want monopoly the city had better
he fenced in at once to keep all peddlers out.

An Indiana Artists Work.

An exceedingly meritorious painting was re-
ceived at Liebers art gallery yesterday and
placed on exhibition. 1t is from the easel of
Mrs. John w. Ryan, of Muncie. Some little re-
greet was expressed that IL had not been received
few days earlier, as in that case there would
have been an added interest from the fact that
the painting accurately portrays an historical
event recently presented here by Modjeska.
The painting is four by FIVE feet in size, and is
Mary Stuart's Farewell to the Members of Her
Household" on the morning of her execution at
Fotheringay Castle, Feb 5, 1887. The unhappy
Queen of Scots is the central figure of a sorrow
full group. The Earl of Shrewsbury, who had
charge of her execution, is shown, bearing
the royal warrant, and he stands upon the
step. Melville, her faithful friend, and for
many years the master of her household, kneel-
ing. receives a last blessing at the hands of his
beloved mistress. At Mary's right hand in an
attitude Of the deepest grief. stands Jane Ken
nedy, her devoted friend and the sharer of her
captivity, Her ladies in waiting. with faces ex-
pressive Of intense sorrow, stand Immediately in
the rear of the queen. At her left hand are
Bourgoigne and Gourion, her physician and her
surgeon An officer and the soldiers of the
guard grouped the right The style of
architecture and heraldlc emblems are faithful
to the period the painting represents.
