Valuable and Interesting Information Which
Is Withheld from the Public.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 30.-There is one depart
ment of the government which is loaded
with very interesting news, but which for some
reason is inaccessible. Not day passes that
the State Department does not receive reports
from consuls which would make extremely inter-
esting reading if the seal of secrecy was not
placed upon all the avenues by which the insor-
nation could be given out. The nature of this
information is such as would not in any way
embarrass the workings of the department by
making it public, while, on the other hand it
might, in many instances, be of value to citizens
having business with foreign countries. Mr..
Bayard, however. seems determined to follow in
the footsteps of his predecessors, and the Depart
ment of State will in the future, as in the past,
remain sealed book to the news -gatherer

why Burbridges Scalp Was Demanded.

Special to the Indianapolis Journa,.
WASHINGTON, May 30.-The Democratic press
has been bowling against the bloody shirt for
years. and it has been repeatedly charged that
the Republican party alone is responsible for the
lack of unity between the North and the Soath
Among the recent dismissals of clerks from the
Treasury was one named Burbridge, of Kentucky,
removed at the request of delegation Of gentle
men formerly followers of the stars and bars
1t is now learned that the reason why the de-
mand for Burbridge's scalp was so fierce was
that his father commanded brigade of Union
forces in Eastern Kentucky some years ago, and
that it became necessary during that time to try
by drum head court-martial and hang number
of bushwhackers. 1t is thus that the Democ-
racy of Kentucky caters to the demand for har-

Murdered by Request.

KANSAS CITY, April 26.-Frank 81.
Parker, saloon keeper at Great Bend,
Kansas, 80 miles west of here, was muir
dered al that place at 5 O'Clock
this morning, by George Mack, his
colored porter, and the latter
arrested on the arrival of the Santa Fe
train at s O'Clock this evening. Mack
tells a curious story in his defense, to
the effect that Parker was in debt but
had a heavy life insurance, and that he
pre-arranged that Mack should kill
him. The latter, therefore, according to
agreement, went to Parker's bedside
this morning and Drained him with q
Ratchet. The murderer appears indif-
ferent, and says he will be exonerated
by letter which Parker wrote yester-
day to his wife, at Alma, Kansas detail
ing the proposed plan.

ness places were closed. 1t is rumOred
tonight that United States forces are
about to be withdrawn. The impris-
Oned rebels in the Quartet cannot get
out, bat have barricades of sand bags
on the balcony. Two hundred yards
from the Quartet is barricade OF
sand bags erected in the streets by the
rebels, but now in possession OF Ameri-
can troops. The rebels have plenty Of
arms, ammunition and food, and resi-
dents are seriously apprehensive OF the
results, should the United States troops
withdraw, as it is rumored. Among the
rebels are number of noted criminals.
Many expressions of hatred against
foreigners are heard, generally emanat-
ing from sympathizers with the rebels.
Precautions are said to have been taken
against the threatened firing of the city.
Such, catastrophe, it Is believed,
sition and strength of the force is
admirable. No fevers have appeared
yet and but little rain has fallen. The

Mcberly- Coleman.

IN Tuesday was consummated o marriage,
the details of which are interesting, on account
NJ fine unusual circumstances that cemented a
bopd already existing. Several years ago, Mr..
Jobn NJ. Moberly, a mature business man, and
a person of sedate and methodical life, was
smiitten by the quiet charms and modest graces
Of Miss Mamie Z. Coleman, then a mere girl
With long curls of beautiful brown hair. The
friendship formed ripened into the deepest de-
yotion, and Mr.. MOberly soon occupied the
nosItlon of the favored sutton Of Miss Coleman.
Fme rolled on, and the ardent regard of the
vounC people might never have proved other
than Platonic, had not good fortune visited
them by means Of the Louisiana State Lottery.
In a playful mood, they agreed to invest three
dollars in three-ffths of a ticket, Miss Coleman
having one dollar, with the expectation of receiy-
inc one-third of the returns. Two weeks later
Mr. Moberly. in whose name the ticket was made
was startled at his desk at the Mercer National
Rank bv the intelligence that his ticket had
drawn SIS, ZOO. He Immediately went to New
Orleans, secured the money, and, with a high
sense of honor, sent MISS Coleman her portion,
$4,000. After two months longer Of waiting,
the devoted young people determined to invest
in a lottery ticket again; this time in the lot
terry of matrimony, in which we are fully per-
suaded they will both draw prizes.
kThe marriage was celebrated Tuesday last at
1880. at the residence of the brides father, Mr..
R. E. Coleman, where q most sumptuous feast
was served to the few friends invited to attend.
The young couple left On the LIS train for
Washington, where they will make their future
home. Mr.. Moberly will engage in the real es-
tate and claim business with his brother, Judge
VIM Moberly. The groom is an able business
man. while the bride is an amiable and attrac-
tive lady, and they annot fail TO find success
and many friends in their new home. liar
