WRATH OF THE BOURBONS.

A Sharp Outlining of the Differences BE-
tween the Bourbons and the RefOrmers.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON Aug 1S.-Democrats at the
capital are very angry over the utterances of
the President in his New York interview the
other day. AS Western congressman ex-
pressed it this afternoon, thorough bred DEM
ocrats are going around the corner to 'cuss
every time they think of it, The sentiments
expressed by Mr. Cleveland have undoubtedly
made him more enemies in his own party than
anything he has said or done since his inaugu-
ration. Speaking of the proposed removal of a
postmaster, the President observed: 1.-THE man
seems to be more than ordinarily we'll qualified
for the position, and makes an extraordinarily
good officer; therefore. it would not do to
remove him just because he is Republican"
The President also said something to this
effect: Il have been assured by delegation
from certain Western State that if all the
Republican officer holders there were removed
and Democrats put in their places. the State
would be sure to 60 Democratic this fall. To
that I replied that that might be true, but the
result of that would be that when the Repub-
licans elect another President they will turn out
again into the Republican ranks, and we would
really have gained nothing. The true way to
build up party is to stick to principle"
AS soon as this interview was read here the
rage of the Bourbons was simply awful.
Especially did the fellows Who have been wait
ing around here for weeks and months, demand
ing appointments, cut loose in subdued pro-
family. Many regarded it the death krell
of their hopes, and said they might as we'll leave
and take up their old vocations at home.
. This last outg;ving sharply defines the differ
ence between the Bourbons and the Cleveland
reformers, and throatcutting time between
them is here. Knives are either drawn or carried
at easy access The President has challenged
the leaders, who have kept his party together,
and turning his back upon the majority has en-
braced the mugwump minority that made his
election possible He has said he must follow
the dictates of the latter class, presumng, as
matter that goes without mentioning, that the
Bourbons will follow, having no other way to 60
If the Bourbon Democracy had the courage it
would revolt, and revolt tomorrow, to-day
What is meant by the Bourbon Democracy is
the principle entertained by all the Democratic
members from Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Vir-
ginia, and all other States west and south. The
administration has repudiated the promises
these men have made; he has spat them in the
face 1t remains to be seen whether in the
House this winter they have the bravery to act
their will.

the neighbors of Mrs. Uriah H. Dudley, the
sister of the convict banker, James D., Fish, who
resides at No. 272 Henry street, Brooklyn, have
been gossipping about a six-months- old infant

taken to the house ten days ago. It rolled up
to the door in a closed carriage, and was carried
in the arms of Miss Annie Fish, the ex'banker's
daughter. Its presence in the house
has excited much curiosity, and yesterday the
tongues of the neighbors were set wagging when
it became known that the child was the daughter
of James d. Fish and Sallie Reber. the we'll
known comic opera singer. who died in New
Jersey in March last Before the crash in Wall
street the name of Miss Reber was associated
with that of Banker Fish.

said that the child is the daughter of James ID.
Fish. She added that her brother and the young
opera singer had been married over year before
the child was born, and that the marriage
tifcate is in the possession of her relatives. The
child was named Salle Reher Fish. and has been
cared for by relatives in this city since the death
of its mother. In conclusion Mrs. Dudley said:

Mrs. James ID Fish, and the child is my
brothers. We will take of and cherish it"

Peoria's Crooked Whisky.

PHILADELPHIA Aug. 19-In regard to the
recent seizure Of large quantity of whisky
shipped to this city from Peoria. ILL.,, which was
alleged to have been put into fraudulently CON
structed barrels with the intention of defrauding
the government, it is learned that an order was
received in this city, to-day, from Washington,
directing the release of all the whisky consigned
by MeSsrs. Woolner Bros. and also that the
consSnments of the Manhattan Distilling Com
pany had been released by compromise
whereby the distlling companies are to pay the
tax upon one gallon Of whisky in each eighty
three barrels sout of hundred shipped
by them, with the understanding that
they would file claim in the United States
courts to recover the extra tax so paid. The
shipments OF the Great Western Distillng Com
pany are still detained, pending an investigation
by the officials. 1t is understood that there are
upward of 1000 barrels of whisky which will
be affected ~ this action Of the government,
and it is thought the entire matter will be COM
promised and then taken into the courts. The
wholesale liquor men of Philadelphia, represent
ing a capital of 500 00O, 0O0 have addressed
letter to the revenue collector of this district
concerning the alleged frauduently
barrels, claiming the packages are regularly
made, and informing him that unless they are
permitted to pursue their business without
further interruption, they will bring action
against the government for damages sustained.

infrequent visits to the White House,
like most men of prominence in the

there would not be any marked degree of cor

OTHER LABOR TROUBLES.
Unsuccessful Strike by Drivers of the Men,
pllis Street-Car Company.


MEMPHIS Tenn, Aug. 1S.-The drivers on the
several lines of the Memphis Street Railway
Company struck this morning, and travel has
been greatly interrupted. The cause of dissat
isfaction was due to the issuing of an order by
the company reducing the pay of all drivers who
have not been in the employ of the company for
a period of six months, from 12l cents per hour
to 10 cents. The strike was general and COM
menced at 6 o'clock this morning The company
managed to send out few cars on each line,
but by o'clock the strikers began to interrupt
travel by throwing the cars from the track. The
police We're called upon, but the meagre force
was unable to give the necessary protection, and
stranded cars were to be seen in all directions.
Three or four arrests were made, and at this
hour, 1870 O'Clock, each running is being
guarded by police force. Three of the new
drivers who began work this morning have been
assaulted. but, so far, serious injury has been
done to them
1:30 P. M-At this hour cars on the several
lines are running with some regularity, being
manned by new drivers who are protected by
the po ice. The striking drivers held meeting
at the Knights of Labor hall, which has just
adjourned. A committee of five was appointed
to confer with the Street Railway Company with
view of compromising matters and restoring
wages to the old rates. The committee will
report back to the meeting at o'clock tonight
The committee of conference reported to- night
that the officers of the company refused to treat
with them. Cars were run during the afternoon
by raw hands, but at O'Clock to night they were
all withdrawn. Everything is quiet and the
strikers hope to carry their point by peaceful
means No disturbances occurred during the
afternoon. and in all probability none will hap
pen tonight, although the strikers have the
sympathy of all the trades unions in their de-
mandS.

JOHN MCCULLOUGH.
His Insanity Assumes Mild Form Of Stupor,
and He Fails to Recognize Friends.

New YORK, Aug 18.-The Tribune this morn
ing says: John Mccullough, in the Blooming.
dale Asylum, is gradually losing all remembrance
of his old days on the stage. Captain Conner
of the st. James Hotel his old business man
ager, goes regularly to the asylum to see McCul-
lough. The Captain thinks the old actor is los
ing ground physically as we'll as mentally. He
has come to think that ne owns Bloomngdale as
gift from friends interested in seeing him
happy IN his old age. He no longer alludes in
any way to the stage. Or as he used to do en-
gagements which he must start away to fill.
Occasionally he wants his baggage packed
up, to 60 to Chicago or Cleveland, but shortly
forgets all about it, and is not surprised or
angered if he finds his orders have not been exc
cuted. Sometimes Mccullough lying in his
room, will burst out in recitatlons of poems or
bits of the plays in which he has at different
times appeared. but this is the only feature of
his present condition to connect HIM with his
old triumphs. When Captain Conner called last
he found Mccullough almost indifferent to his
presence; much so that it difficult to de
termine whether or not he recognized him. He
was in the mild stupor that will more and more
characterize his disease. He may die in a month;
he may live a year or two. The physicians do
not think he will live more than year.

PRELLER'S MURDERER.


ST.. LOUIS, Aug. ia letter is published
here to-day dated Surry Bank, Hyde, Cheshire,
England, July l3; 1885, and signed Samuel N.
Brooks, which speaks of his son, Fl. NJ. Brooks,
having left home last January on a business
trip to Ireland, and that no word had been re-
ceived from him since. 1t had been learned,
however that he had the curate of the adjoining
parish for companion, and that they had in
dulged in various extravagances, and that
Brooks's name had got mixed up with the St,
Louis trunk tragedy and also got mixed up with
Doctor Maxwell. The letter shows great distress
on the part Of the writer, and makes
an urgent appeal for information in
regard to the person concerned in the
murder A part of this letter was shown to
Maxwell, and he recognized the signature as
that of his father and desired the possessors of
the letter to write and tell him that he tMaxwell)
was innocent Of the murder of Preller and that
he had perfectly good defense. In the course
of conversation Maxwell-or. as he is now
pretty definitely identified Brooks-said that
Preller was troubled with insomnia, and that he
had prescribed chloroform for him on several
occasions and with benefit. Preller, however,
had heart disease, he said. and intimated that he
had either taken or had had administered to him
on this occasion an overdose, with fatal result.
This will be Brookss defence when he comes to
trial.
Maxwell published a card this afternoon, de-
nying in toto that he has given to any reporter
any outline or idea of his defense, as published
here this morning and referred to in a previous
dispatch He furthermore denies having ac-
knowledged that his name is Brooks. and says
no matter what is published, he will not talk
about his case, give any one any idea what
his defense will be- The letter previously re-

YONKERs. NY, Aug 18.-Serious fights have
occurred during the past few months between the
strikers and the men who remained at work in
the carpet mills OF Alex Smiths Sons, and at
times the trouble has assumed the form of riots.
Yesterday, while four workmen in the mills were
returning home from work, they were attacked
by crowd of strikers, who threw stones and
bricks at them. The four men were able for
awhile to keep their assaiants at distance, but
finally one of the men named Shipman, was com

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.-A good deal of COM
ment is being made among leading Democrats
at tine capital now about the relations between
the President and ex-Speaker Samuel J. Randall,
of Pennsylvania. It is known to dead, moral
certainty that the ways of the President are not
those Of the Pennsylvania, and it is believed
that the latter's words of Endorsement of the
former, spoken couple Of months ago, came
from design instead of truth. Mr.. Randall has
received fewer favors from the administration
than any other prominent man il the party.
Indeed, so far as tits known here he has re-

EVANSVILLE'S GRIEVANCE.

Protest Against Changing Steamboat Nail
Service to Star Routes.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Aug ia delegation Of
steamboat men and other citizens from Evans
we'll George L. Dixon and II. Hopkins, are at
the Ebbitt. They are headed by Major George
w. Shankln of the Evansville Courier, and are
here to induce Postoffice Department officials to
revoke the order abolishing the steamboat mail
route from Evansville to Paducah, Ky. The
cost of carrying the mail by steamboat is $13 0G0
year. 1t is proposed to carry it with horses
by which. it is claimed, sc, 600 or $1,000 year
may be saved to the government. Citizens of
Evansville say the mail would reach points on
the road twentyfour hours later, on an average,
by animal conveyance, and the city will be dam
aged $150,000 annually by it. They will be
given an audience by the Second Assistant Post
master-general.
Late this afternoon Congressman Townsend,
OF illinois, ard Major Shanklin were given
hearing by Assistant Postmaster general Steven
son, who finally decided to permit service to be
continued until the end of this month Begin
ming with September, he intimated, however,
that he should carry out his order, and abolish
the steamboat route and make it star route II
it is satisfactory it is believed the policy of the
department will be to make star routes of steam
boat routes wherever possible. This is in
spirit of economy only, as it will give infinitely
poorer service and will give almost universal
dissatisfaction wherever adopted
