CORA PEARL DEAD.

End OF the Career of the Famous Demi-
Observation-Disclosures I'm Her Life.
PARIS July Cora Pearl, the once famous
demi-mondaine, is dead She died poor. She
recently published book containing what she
had only a very small sale and failed to bring
her in the profit she anticipated. Cora Pearl,
according to her own story. was an English
woman, her name, Emma Crouch, and the
daughter of Prof. F. Nichols Crouch, of Balti-
more, author of Kathleen Mavourneen," by his
first marriage with Lydia Pearson. an English
actress. Emma left her home suddenly when
quite young girl and under circumstances that
we're never spoken of afterwards in the Crouch
family Her memoirs were regarded in the
light of a black-mailing scheme and it was re-
ported at the time that she received ten thousand
dollars from noble French family for the sup.
preston of one group of letters. She was
beauty of the sculpturesque type She
was fond of parading her exquisite
form in faultlessly fitting riding
habitin the Bots de Boulogne. At one time she
took it into her head to appear in public always
witha little poodle dog dyed to match the costume
she was wearing. but the police put stop to
this when one day she caused the death of an
unhappy little beast by colorng him with q
poisonous dye
One ofthe most striking episodes in her career
was her brief apparition on the Paris stage as
Cupid in Offenbach's "Orphee aux Enters" Her
dress was Of the scantest, the draperies of pale
pink crepe de chine being scarcely more yolum-
nous than the clasps and chains of diamonds
with which they were fastened, but, as she
could not sing, pronounce dozen words of
French correctly, she was roundly Kissed, and
after the twelfth performance was forced to re-
tire.
In her memoirs a number Of well-known
Frenchmen described at length, among them
Prince Pion-Plon. the Due de Morny, the Prince
of Orange and others. She became most notori-

BEEcHER AND TEE BRITISH.

The Brooklyn Man Sees a Chance for Fight
and Eagerly Improves II.
LONDON, July 9.-The intolerance shown by
the British religious public to anything in the
way of innovation in the matter of church serv-
ice was strikingly and entertainingly illustrated
at the City Temple, where Mr. Beecher preached
lis second sermon. Mr.. Beeeher cannot preach
in a pepper box" as the pulpit is irreverently
termed here. 1t cramps him. So DR.. Parker
had for to-day platform specially built, some
what after the manner of the one in Plymouth
Church. This was eyed askance by some Of the
straiehtlaced British Christians as they poured
into the big church, packing it almost to suffoca
ton, and, as Mr.. Beeeher was about beginning
his sermon, there were vigorous cries OF Pull
pit" 1t was curious to note the fire that came
into Beechcr's eye and the determined set of his
mouth. There was fight there. 1t recalled the
time when he faced an angry mob in Liverpool,
twenty three years ago, and beat them down.
This was what he said, in tones that had the old
time ring:
''As to the pulpit, l think about that as Daniel
Webster thought-that he regarded the continu-
auce of religion in this world, in spite of pull
pits, to be one of the signs of its divinity. /
suppose pulpits, originally, were framed after
the apocalyptie vision OF a candle-stick, and
ministers have been too much like waxcandles
in the candle sticks-hard and stiff, giving out
very little light. No man would ever undertake
to plead for theiee of man out Of pulpit.
No man would ever undertake to go before a
crowd for their votes and be perched upon the
tip-end of candle stick. When man is in ear
nest in preaching, he might preach from the top
of his head to his toe tits not the voice alone,
but the man. that breaches"
The pulpit shouters subsidized abashed, aud Mr..
Beecher went with a powerful sermon that
dealt with the misconception of religion, that
made it thing of gloom.
Mr.. Giliig gave a brilliant banquet to the Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher, this evening, at the Met
ropoIitau Hotel United States Minister Phelps,
Justice Stanley Matthews, ConsIl-general
Waller, DIR. Parker, the Rev. Mr.. Halves, Canon
Fleming and distinguished company were
present Mr Beeeher, who was in fine health
and spirits made an eloquent speech, which was
enthusiastically applauded. He made no refer

first lecture at Exeter Hall the 10Th inst. the

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, July 9.-It is LEARNED to-day,
On unqusstioned authority. that Secretary of
State Bayard is ambitious Of serving upon the
United States Supreme Bench. When Mr.
Bayard accepted the portfolio of State, he used
all the means at his command to secure the
election Of Mr.. Gray as his successor for the re-
mainder of the unexpired term. More than
this. he assured Mr.. Gray that the same in
fuences should be exerted to insure his election
for the full term. which commences March A,
1887. But for this promise Mr.. Bayard himself
would endeayor to succeed Senator Gray, for
it has been an open secret for months that he is
dissatisfied with his present surroundings.
Next to seat in the Senate, Mr.. Bayard would
prefer seat on the Supreme Bench. He has
communicated this desire TO the President
within the last week. and received in reply the
assurance that should a vacancy occur before
the close of the present administration his wishes
shall be complied with

Final Action ON the Charges Against Sem
ator Payne Again Postponed.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON July $50 much time was oc-
cupied by the reading Of the reports at the meet
ing of the Senate committee on elections, to-day
that no effort was made to take final action on
the case against Senator Payne, of Ohio. An
other meeting will probably be held on Monday
1t is reported that Senator Logan hesitates to
sign the report drawn by Mr.. Teller, and intend
ed to explain the action of Evarts and himself in
voting against an investigation It is possible
that Logan will write report Of his own, in
which event there will be four reports. So great
has been the outside pressure on the three Re-
publicans who voted against an investigation
that Ohioans, here, Democrats and Republicans
are beginning to believe that when the case
comes before the Senate an Investigation will
be ordered.
Senator Hoar, chairman of the committee on
privileges and elections, furnishes, with request
for publication, the following:
a ITO the Public-The published statement that
Senator Logan requested that the votes of the
members of the committee on the question as TO
the investigation into improper means used, if
any, in the election Of Senator Payne, should be
kept secret, is without any foundation what
ever. Senator Logan made no such request
nor did any Senator on this committee make
any such request 1 DO this by the unanimous
authority Of the committee"

las might be expected, Jackson county got

for the disorder appearing on the surface, unless
the revolving iyncnng of the A-chers in Martin
county is the legitimate offspring of such wrong
doing reaped years afterward.
However, there is an instance nearer at hand,
and not so remote which would appear to be di-
rectly chargeable to the lawless elements Of
Jackson county. At Salem, in Washington
county, in June, 1874, Deloss Hebron, brother
to the late Hon. Horace Hebron, was taken from
Jail near daybreak by body of masked men and
hanged to the railroad bridge close by. Hebron
had killed two men, shooting both in the back
and in cold blood. He partially atoned for the
taking of life in the first case by marrying the
widow. He was quarrelsome cowardly, over
bearing fellow, of powerful physique, and known
a dangerous character. He added his second
victim to the list in the spring OF 1874 shooting
him down in the streets OF Salem in daylight
and without provoeation, the man being I'M
armed. He was promptly arrested and placed
in jail. The delays of the law, ard the cunning
by which his neck had bean saved before, seemed
to be progressing still in his favor. Public in
dignation was wrought up to q fever pitch. and
lynching was threatened. Arrangements were
making to take him to New Albany for safe
keeping. The night before strong force guard
ed the Jail until about an hour to daybreak,
when, thinking all would be well, the guard dis
persed. Instantly the Jail was surrounded, the
sheriff made prisoner, the massive doors battered
down, and after terrible struggle. N which
Hebron was shot twice, though not fatally, the
mob captured its victim. They made short
word of hanging him, when they dispersed.
