ANNOYING mK GARFIELD.
A Crank who Has Pestered the
Family at Mentor Placed Under

CLEVELAND. o., Nov. 29.-Since last
August Mrs Garfield. widow of the late
president. has been greatly annoyed at her
country home in Mentor by the receipt OF
letters of advice, etc, from person sign
ing himself S. A. Bodde. Some time since
a man went to the house, cOolly walked
into the hallway and inquired for Mrs. Gar
field. or her daughter. MOlle. A servant
asked him his name and business, and he
presented a card bearing the name of the
letter writer. The feiiow was persuaded 10
leave the house. and, upon going, he prom
ised to write no more letters. as he went,
however, he turned and cursed all the mem
bers of the household. For some time no let
tiers were received, but recently the fellow be-
gan writing again. Yesterday he once
more appeared at the Garfield farm house,
and. being refused permission to see Mrs.
Garfield. he swore as before. He was fol-
lowed from the house, and later placed IN
der arrest at Hainesville. Bodde rs SO years
of age, and native of Cleveland. He
formerly lived at Fort Wayne, Ind. After
an inquest in unacy the judge decided that
Bodde was not of sufficiently unsound mind
to warrant his Incarceration IN an asylum.
He was therefore sent to the county poor
house for safe keeping.

Invalid Rridre bands.

WASHINGTON, Nov. ga decision was
rendered by the United States supreme
court to-day in the bond case OF Moses r.
Crow against the township OF Oxford. Sum-
mer county. Kansas. This was suit TO
recover the amount due on certain bonds
and coupons issued by the township of Ok
ford, TO aid in the construction of a bridge
across the Arkansas river. The same bonds
have already been once before this court in
the case of Mcclure against the township Of
Oxford. The court then held that the
bonds, issued under special act of the leg
isature Of Kansas, approved March l, 1872.
were invalid. In the present suit
an attempt is made to sustain
the validity of the bonds by alleging that
they were issued under authority of gen.
erai act of the legislature of Kansas passed
March 3, 1872. The court holds that the
bonds OIL their face excluded the possibility
OF their having been issued under the latter
act, the public records showing that the
proceedings were not taken under that act,
and the auditor had no right to decide. as
matter of law, that these were bonds which
he was authorized to register and certify,
when. as matter of law, they were not.
The decision of the court below in favor of
the township is affirmed. Opinion by Judge
Blatchford.

brought to light by the experts in the ac-
counts of the South Boston Horse Railroad
company. it has been discovered that some

certificate was returned to the company for

stub from which it had been originally cut,

holder having no reason to suppose that a
duplicate of that number was already out.
A block of 100 shares thus twice Issued mas
been found. The experts will have to
trace every certificate issued since the be-
ginning of Reeds administration. This
will be a work of weeks, and until it is
finished the stockholders cannot ascertain
the actual condition of the company.
During the mraveling OF the affairs of the
company the books have been closed for
stock transfers. The directors of the COM
pany have as yet held no formal meeting TO
pass upon the questions brought up
by the experts examination, but
are understood TO be in con-
stant communication and consultation.

CHICAGO. Nov. 29.-Congressman W. r.
Morrison left here this evening for Wash
ington. He declined to say anything about
a c0ntesT or investigation, except to say
that he would not contest an election, even
If he were defeated by a majority of only
one vote. 1t is known to number of the
friends of Col. Morrison in this city that
Speaker Carlisle desires an investigation to
be made of the election in Morrison's dis
trict. Such an inquiry could be undertaken
by resolution of the house, under which a
special committee can be ecreated. This can
be done without any contest being made by
Col. Morrison. The object of such an in
vestigation would be the bearing it might
have in the next presidential campaign. If
made, it will not be until the Fiftieth con-
greSS meets. Meantime Col. Morrison in-
tends to follow the even tenor of his way
during the coming session. while at home
his name is being considered as that OF a
candidate for governor.

NEW YORK. Nov. ga brewery wagon
started from the New York entrance at
40 p. M. to go over the. bridge to Brook
lyn. After the wagon passed the New
York pier bridge policeman noticed some
thing resembling bundle of coats in the
end of the wagon. This bundle assumed
an upright position and turned out to be a
man. The man jumped lightly from the
vehicle to the roadway. mounted the iron
girder that incloSeS it. and without heSl-
tating moment leaped Off. He shot
straight down into the river. Officer
Asisove was the only one who had seen The
man leap. He rushed into the roadway
and ordered the driver to stop. The driver
was SURPRISED at the order, and demanded
an explanation. On being informed it was
evident from his aStOniShment that he was
ignorant of the matter He was allowed to
proceed. The name of the man who made
the leap is William Kurz. An eye witness,
who was on the Dover street pier, said to
reporter: Il was looking up at the bridge
and saw man get over the railing next to
lamp-post outside the New York tower. He
clung to the rail for moment and then
let go. He turned two somersaults in the
air and fell on his back in the water, and
disappeared at once. The water seemed to
suck him in, and the spray splaShed up
several feet in the air. Very few people
were on the pier at the time. but several
hundred gathered in a few moments and
there was great excitement. Policeman
James O'Neil, of the bridge squad, arrived
a few moments later. He took the Tug
Columbia out to pick up Kurz. The captain
of lighter steamed out and picked up
Kurz before the tug arrived. The jumper
was under tine water about five minutes.
When picked up he was frothing at the
mouth and was too exhausted to speak.
His face had a yellow look and is eyes
were glossy and vacant. When the lighter
reached the wharf K'lrz was placed in an
express wagon and taken to the nearest
police station, and from there to the Cham
bers Street hospital. At the station he was
able TO talk. He told the officer in charge
that he wanted to commit suicide. He
complained of pain ia his head and side
and began to rave. At the hospital he was
found to be suffering from the shock of the
conclusion. 1t is thought he will recover.
When asked his reason for the jump, he re-
piled: Il wish | was dead"

They VIII Re Kept iu Florida Until
They Die.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-The fate of the
Indians captured in the Miles campaign is
practically settled. 1t was not decided
when they We're first sent East whether any
of them would be tried for their crimes or
not. The president has examined the case
very carefully. and has come to the con-
cluSIon that life confinement for all of these
Indians in Florida. where they can do no
harm, will be the most thorough punish
ment which can be visited on them. 1t is
the only practical way by which they can
be punished. If the criminals among them
were to be singled out. no military commis-
sion would have any authority to try them.
They would have to be turned over to the
civil authorities in the place where the
crimes were committed. 1t would be a
TRAVESTY ON JUSTICE
to have these Indians tried in Arizona or
New Mexico. There is not white man in
either one Of those territories who could
sit in a case involving the rights of an
Indian with any kind of fairness. The
conviction of the criminals would leave
their families untouched. These families
would train up children to revenge the
death of those who were punished and the
result would be continuation of the out
lawry which for years has made life and
property so insecure in the two localities
The removal of the Indians to Florida
takes away nearly all of the families, and
leaves no stock to breed robbers and assas-
sins for the future. As matter of fact.
the 500 Indians transferred to Florida have
been sentenced to lingering death. They
have been brought up in the mountain
countries. accustomed to freedom in the
pure cold air CT high attitudes. Their
transfer to and confinement in the warm
climate of Florida will simply result in
