Home in Indianapolis.

On the Adm1DlSIratlOn-iAEs 80
Home in Indianapolis.
INDIANAPOLIS, May 24.-Vice President
Hendricks arrived at home at noon yester'
day, and viii be here the greater part of the
summer, with the exception of briefvisit
East next month, where he will address the
Yale College Law School on "The United
States Supreme Court and the Influences
That Have Contributed to Make 1t the
Greatest Judicial Tribunal in the World.
Mr.. Hendricks is in excellent health, look
ing better in fact than he has for years.
The Administration is getting along very
well" he said: "a great many people can
not understand that q new President and
Cabinet, almost totally unacquainted with
the details OF the Government, have to be
very cautious and 60 slowly. There Is
disposition on the part of the Administra-
ton to make no mistakes where they can be
avoided. Some complaint is made that the
President is almost too conservative, and
that he has not been decided enoughln some
matters, particularly in removing Federal
ofice-holders."
Then you think, Governor, that in due
time all these ofice-holders will be re-
moved?' ,,
"I would not put it as strongly as that"
was the reply, "bu: l do think that great
many removals viii be made. SO far as l
have been able to learn, the course OF the
Administration has met with the cordial ap-
proval of the Democrats throughout the
country, except in the direction which | have
indicated. and feel sure that Mr.. CleVe-
land will prove to be a very popular Presi'
dent"

AN IMPORTANT ARREST
Made In New York Yesterday by Inspsctor
Byrne-An Old Thief.


Byrne-An Old Thief.
NEw York, May 24-Ths detective force
under the supervision of Inspector Byrne,
made an important arrest last night. On
April p, the safe of Smith L Co., at No.
45 Park Place, was robbed of all it contained
worth having. On Thursday night last S.
b. Horizon L Co., of No. 81 Frankfort
street, suffered a similar loss. Negotiable
amounts taken in either case were not large
but manpulations in each were similar
Inspector Byrne knew that Gustavus Kent
alas French Gus alias "Isadore
Marshall who has escaped from
Imprisonment several times was released
from Sing Sing about year ago. The In
sPector knew that French Gus" was in
New York and suspected that from uses EN-.
ployed Kent might be the man he wanted.
He detailed detectives Lyon, King, o. Connor
and Slswson to watch Kent. These officers
learned that Mrs. Rose Kent, Ia daughter Of
hent's, who lives at 4l5 East Twelfth
street, had in her hoGse many articles taken
in robberies. They had also learned that
Kent occupied room at SO Market
House, and here they arrested him. When
Kent was told of the finding of the bonds
postage stamps and other things at
his daughters house, he confessed to bur
glaries, but maintained he had secured
only about 1882 in money instead Of S400
or so he was charged with taking. Kent is
Belgian of about 40 years. He boasts that
the safe locks are no barrier to him. In
1869 he was sent to Sing Slug for robbing
Wheeler Il Parsons, of Brooklyn, Of several
| hundred dollars worth of watch cases. In
February, 1871, he cut the bars of his cell
with some fine saws that had been smuggled
in to him and escaped. On October II, 1872,
he was arrested for burglary in Hacken-
sack, n. j., but was turned over to the au-
thorities here to serve his ten year term out.
/ While in prison this time Kent eontrived q
lever lock which would lock all cell doors
on floor at once. The prison officials were
| pleased with the invention and recommend
! ed Kents pardon, but Governor Tilden
would not let Kent 20 free. At this
| Kent refused to surrender his
patent" In 1873 Kent again
escaped by the help Of man in charge oil
/ the cooper shop. He made his way to
Montreal, where he quite as promptly tried
/ to rob q pawn shop. He was caaghE and
got three years. While in Canada he sold
/ his lever lock to the authorities, and it is
now in general use in prisons Of the Do.

Cincinnati POstoftice to the New.
CINCINNATI, May 24.-Col. NJ. Markbreat,
the assistant United States Treasurer at
this place, to-day removed successfully the
coin and currency in his care from the old
Postoffice building at Fourth and Vine
to the new quarters of the new government
building at Fifth and Walnut streets There
was some apprehension that the removal
might be attended with danger from daring
robbers, but the utmost care was taken to
prevent any loss. The contract for the re-
moyal was given to the Adams Express
Company.
The work began at s this morning and
was completed at 1 p. m. One million
dollars in silver required ten wagon loads.
The gold was less troublesome and the
paper money although quarter in volume
tIan all the rest was carried in large
trunk or box in one wagon. A strong force
of police kept people away from the loading
and unloading points aud armed men rode
on all the wagons. 1t is said the express
company was paid about $500 for the work.
