Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
BLooMINGToN, ILL.,, April 2O.-Hon. j. FL.
Oberly, chairman of the Democratic State ex-
ecutive committee, who is now here, has received
letter from Postmaster general Villas, which is
of general Importance. Complaint was made to
Mr.. Oberly by Democratic leaders at Aurora,
H., that postmaster O. B. Knickerbecker, OF
that place, was an active and offensive Repub-
lican, and charges were made against him to
that effect by Thomas O'Donne chairman of
the central committee of the city of Aurora. Mr..
Oberly forwarded these charges to Mr. Villas,
who replies that they will be considered as soon
as the condition of the business of the depart
ment, with proper regard to its regular order,
will permit He says:
''The great amount of the business of the de-
partment constantly requiring attention, and
the necessity for appointments to vacancies ex-
listing. of which there are great numbers, may
delay for time consideration of cases of this
nature. The careful and business-like conduct
of public interests is superior in Importance to
speedy relief against offensive appointments,
necessarily, but L think you may fairly expect
that when charges showing a postmaster to be
offensive and active partisan in his Office shall
be sustained, they will receive due and satisfac-
tory consideration as soon as may be consistent
with public business and the interests of the
Seryice.r

there is no exaltation in the future world for
either the man or his wife unless he is polyg-
amist. Tire Mormons like to hide this teaching
from the outside world, and to give strangers to
understand that polyeamy is an entirely volun-
tary rite. But TO the citizens Of Utah, both
Mormon and gentle, no fact is more
patent, not even the Wasatch mountains
that overlook US, than this one that men and
women who by nature revolt from polygamy are
actually forced into it by the pressure which
'the church, brings to bear on their religious ma
ture. do not believe that Mormon men are
naturally any reader than others to break the
hearts of their wives. That they do it so often
is ore of The crushing indictments against the
Latter Day church far more than against them.
In another letter hope to tell my readers OF the
efforts now being put forth to check this fright,
full evil and of the part which every true lover OF
his fellow men anu OF mis- country should take IN
the work-a part of which may be summed up
in this one statement, viz, to make it perfectly
clear to our legislators at Washington that
President Cleveland spoke but the simple truth
when he declared that 'the conscience OF the
people demands that polygamy in the Territories,
destructive of the family aud religion. and Of
fensive to the moral sense of the civilized world,
shall be repressed."

ST. LOUIS, April 2O.-The inquest on the re-
mains of Preller, the Southern Hotel trunk vic
tim, was resumed this morning. Baumar and
Barmer who met Maxwell on the train the night
he left st. Louis, were examined but nothing
new was elected William Roach, of st.
Louis, was the next witness examined. He
recognized the photograph of Maxwell as that
of person he knew fifteen years ago as Walter
Maxwell. He knew him at Clevedon College,
Northampton, England His father was the
owner of large potteries there, and very
wealthy. He died not believe Maxwell was
physician, but thought he had tried to pass an
examination and failed. His brother was
physician. Both were very eccentric. Maxwell
was never given to study, as he had too much
money, and was given to going on sprees The
witness saw him last in 1870. There was
cousin of his named Walter Lennox Maxwell.
who died in 1877 He was physician, and the
witness believed Maxwell had assumed his
cousins name.
Chief of Detectives Burke and Captain of
Police Fruchte were next sworn, but their
animation covered ground already known The
inquest was then adjourned until 10 o'clock to-
morrow morning.
1t has been decided not to call special grand
jury to ndict Maxwell, on the ground that,
while between States in this country an indict-
ment is the highest evidence, it is next to useless
in extradition dealings with foreign countries.

A Conscience-Stricken Thief.

CAIRO, ILL.,, April 2O.-A remarkable case of
Conscience came to the knowledge of your
correspondent to-day, the facts of which are as
follows:
In 1867 Mayor Bob Thomas, of Dyersburg,
Tenn, was in the jewelry business in that city.
A thief broke into his store one night and
stole twenty-five or thirty watches and other
jewelry, belonging partly to him and partly
to customers, who had left them to be re-
paired. The value of the goods stolen was
about $1,000, which fell entirely Mayor
Thomas, who was compelled 10 pay in cash for
those he did not own. The thief had never been
caught and Mr. Thomas had given up the thought
of capturing him, when, about month ago, he
received letter from a point in Arkansas,
in which it was stated if he went to a certain
town in that State he would find the man
who took his goods, and he would pay
him for them with accrued interest. Mr..
Thomas did not put much faith in the
letter. but last week. not being very busy, he
went to Arkansas, and at the place indicated
found the man. He understood the object of
Mr. Thomas's visit; and gave him check for
the whole amount principal and interest,
amounting to $1,000 He told Mr.. Thomas he
had prospered in business, and the memory Of
his sin hung over him, when he decided to make
restitution as far as possible Mr.. Thomas has
kind regard for the man, and will not tell his
name
