LAST NIGHTS MEETING.

TOmlinsOn Hall Crowded with Attentive
Listeners to Senator Sherman's Speech.
A better audience never greeted any speaker
in this city than that assembled in Tomlinson
Hall, last night, to listen to Hon. John Sherman,
Senator from Ohio. Every chair on the main
floor was taken, there was no unoccupied seat in
the first galleries, and even the lofty second
gallery was filed, while a large number of people
were left standing. The audience not only con
tanned large number of ladies, but there were
many people who, perhaps, have not attended
political meeting or heard political address for
years. 1t was quiet audience, and
better piece of listening was never seen here
abouts in connection with political speech
Yet it could bo and was properly enthusiastic
and demonstrative, with all it's quiet and atten-
tention and the applause always fell in at the
proper place. When the Senator, with inmita-
BILE dryness, said of the Democratic party that
it 'has a patent-risht on fraud" the audience
gave applausive Endorsement Of the apt senti-
ment, as it did time and again during his speech
When he characterized as an outrage the send
ing of Southern brigadiers to represent this Ma
tion at nearly every court in Europe the applause
had fierce roar in it that proved the Haunting
of the bloody shirt to have lost mono of its
power upon Republican audiences. His testi-
mony as to the value of Senator Harrson's
services in the councils of the Nation also met
with ringing Endorsement from the audience.
The stage was filed, many of the persons oc-
cupying the seats being ladies, others being
DISTINGUISHED gentlemen from abroad. Among
the latter we're J. W. Harrison, Frankfort; DR..
S. H. Mapes, Lawrence; Eugene IT. Bundy,
Charles Hernley, W. o. Barnard, New Castle;
Barnabas c. Hobbs, Bloomingdale; w l. How
ard, G. W. Holman, j. W. Bbler, Rochester;
John H. Lindley, David Strouse, Rockville;
Colonel Bridgeland Richmond; Charles Harley,

Gray. Nobiesvile; j. D. Early, Terre Hautc;
A NJ. Eldridge, Delphi; A. G. Daily. Lebanon;
DR.. H. E. Pattison, Winamac and Col. J. Fl.
Jordan, Martinsville. In addition to these there
were many prominent citizens of this city.

THE KILLING OF BEGLEY.
Beginning of the Investigation Before the
COroner-Identifying the Wrong Man.

CHICAGO. Oct 21.-The inquest on the body
of Terence Begley, who was killed Tuesday by
Pinkerton men. was begun to-day at the Twenty
second-street police station. States Attorney
Grinnell and his assistants were present on be-
half of the State.
Captain Markey. of the Town of Lake police,
testified that he was on the train which carried
the Pinkerton men. He rode as far as Thirty
ninth street. when he got off and returned to the
station. There he first learned of the shooting.
He attributed his not hearing the sound of the
shooting to the noise of the train.
Ibid you notice any crowd standing at
Fortieth street as you went inf? asked the coro-
ner.
Il did. There were about one hundred people
there-boys and men,"
did they make any threatening gesticula-
tions2"
They did not. If they had I would have
seen them and cot off,"
did they throw any stones or missiles of any
kindp
'Not one"
The other witnesses of the shooting contended
that no missiles were thrown or shots fired at
the train The witnesses were confused as to
the identity OF the men who did the shooting
of the witnesses pointing out an attorney
for the prisoners one of the men who shot at
the crowd.

'Neyer mind all that; bring the men who rode

the coroner, who then hastily declared the hear
ing adjourned until tomorrow. The coroner
said he expected the inquest would be complet-
ed within two days.

Probability Of a Reconciliation with Russia
Charges Against the Regency.
LONDON, Oct. 2L-Owing to the apparent in
disposition of the powers to actively support Bull
garia. which will have the effect of driving her
to reconciliation with Russia, there is a gener-
al feeling at Sofa that if General Kaulbars
shows signs of friendlness the government will
agree to postpone the meeting of the Sobranje
The Journal de st. Petersburg says there is
no real justification for the sall in Russian Sc
curities and the nervousness on the Bourse in
the condition of the Bulgarian question. "The
peace will not be disturbed" adds the paper.
All the powers recognize Russia's rights. The
crisis is localized to Bulgaria. There is no reason
why the numerous questions connected there
with should not be peacefully settled. The
Bulgarian rulers know Russia's will We hope
they will recognize the necessities of the stua-
tion. The Journal is not aware of what means
or action Russia will employ to make her views
prevail, but her moderation is an additional
proof of her resolution to attain her ends She
has guarantees enough of final success. and it is
not necessary for her to disturb herself and pre-
cipitate events"
The Gar has summoned General Gourko
military commander of Warsaw, to proceed to
the imperial palace at Gatschina to receive in
structions preparatory to replacing General
Kaulbars as Russian military agent in Bulgaria.
The Russian diplomatic agent at Sofa, NJ
Neklindoff, in vigorous protest against the
treatment of Russian representatives and sym
pathizers, accuses the regency of having abetted
their agents throughout Bulgaria in imprisonne
and murd0rinp nersons known f0 ha in
sympathy with Russia, and of passively
permitting the destruction of property and of
outraging of women. General Kaulbars has
brought against the government the accusation
of having prevented deputations of Bulgarians
from obtaining access TO him and of substitute
ing for such deputations parties composed of ad-
herents OF the regency.
General Kaulbars writes to friend in St.
Petersburg as follows: 1.-THE situation presents
great difficulty to me. There is great danger
that the Bulgarian regents cannot retire without
risking their heads AS for me, remain firm,
and the accumulating obstacles only strengthen
my frmness."
When the Czar offered to appoint General
Gourko in place of General Kaulbars General
Gourko replied that no action could succeed in
Bulgaria unless supported by military force.
The Gear replied to General Gourko in cipher,
and the latter started at once for st. Petersburg

The Czar's Dangerous Ha llucinations.

LONDON. Oct 2L-Rumors are current that a
terrible state of confusion and alarm exists in
the Cars household, owing to hallucipations of
imaginary dangers to which the Czar is subject
1t is said that on seeing an adjutant walking
rapidly towards him, recently, the Car seized a
revolver and shot the adjutant dead. Other ac-
counts say the adjutant made an attempt to kill
the Gar, and the latter fired in self-defense.
Vienna telegram says: IA rumor that the
Car had been killed spread like wildfre in this
city to-day. 1t probably had its origin in the
shooting of an officer by the Car It seems
that an aid.decamp, Count Reutern, was await
ing the Car in the royal palace. and the weather
being warm the Count unbuttoned his tunc.
The Gar returned sooner than expected, and
Reutern arose hurriedly aud began to rebutton
his tunic. whereupon the Gear. thinking that the
office was about to draw weapon, shot him

SURGERY AND CRIME.

Practical surgery seems in fair way to in
terfere with criminal law, and particularly
with statutes affecting murder and inficting
capital punishment. Two weeks ago man
about to die of lockjaw, the effect of a murder
Gus blow upon the head, was cured with the
aid of the surgeons knife, which was en-
ployed to sever the injured part from the re-
mainder of the nervous system, when the
victim at once began to improve. the tonic
and clonic paroxysms ceased and he became
we'll. Had he died, as he was likely to had
not surgery come to his aid his assailant
would doubtless have been tried for murder,
and either hanged or given long period in
prison. Within the past few weeks an
even moro remarkable surgical feat
has been successfully performed in
in that city. A man was brought to the hos
pltal badly stabbed in the abdomen: The in
testines had been fearfully lacerated, at one
place cut several inches in length had been
made. The size Of the cut precluded the pos
sibility of sewing it up, as had been done in
less serious cases, and to all appearances the
man had but few hours to live, when his
assailant would be charged with murder
But the surgeons concluded to see what could
be done with such desperate case. They
chloroformed the man, enlarged the incision
in the abdominal wall, took out the wounded
viscera, cut out about six inches OF the ali
mentary canal, joined the severed ends,
stitching them together with catgut thread
