FRAUDS IN INDIANA.

INDIANAPOLIS EXCITED OVER DEMOCRATiC ooi-
RAGEs.-THE LEGISLATURE IN DOUBT
INDIANAPOLIS. Nov 8 (Specian.-Oficial returns
from the ninetytwo counties of the State confirm the
claims of the Republicans respecting the election OF
their State ticket The purates OF the several can
ddates will vary from $500 to 5000. The Legsiat-
is still in doubt both the Republicans and Demo-
Gratis contendng that they have majority on JOINT
ballot There many complications in the situa-
ton and the Legislature is nearly tie that the
probabilities are that the actual fact to which party
will nave the power to control the joint bodies Will
not be settled until after the meeting and organiza-
ton of the Assembly. Charges of fraud are being
freely made in all quarters. In Marion County there
is considerable bad blood. The County Board OF Can
yassers completed the returns this forenoon after nav
ing been In continuous session twenty-four hours Ihe
frauds committed in the returns are simply appalling
and so fragrant that perfect storm oI r
we're doctor and changed without any apparent
effort to conceal the infamous business and the pro-
tests OF those who were injured by the proceedpgs
were treated with provoking dsdain These frauds led
to a movement to orguSze committee OF one nun
dred, and petition for such an organization was
signed by MANY leading businss men and citizens, re
gardless of politics. When this tact had become
known. the Democrats through Eli Henderson, char,
man Of the Democratic State Central committee, ana
Sam Gov chairman of the County Committee, took
advantage of the situation 6y calling meeting which
made up of Democratic politicians At this meet
ing the speeches and propositions were OF very IN
hanmabe nature. Circulars were scattered about the
streets headed Democrats stand by your guns and
ad dvsing them to resort to any of maintaining
their rights n fair recount OF the Marion County
and the prosecution OF the perpetrators OF the
frauds the ballot boxes has been demanded by the
Committee of One Hundred, Judge Woods of the
United States District Court, also appealed to and
he instructed the Federal Grand Jury to proceed i'm
mediately to a searching investigation OF the alleged
frauds ad bring the perpetrators to justice. Rumors
are current OF the indictment and impending arrest OF
several prominent politicians and there is great deal
OF excitement in consequence The situation is serious
and is growing exciting Both sides aggressive
and determined and an outbreak OF violence is appre
hended unless the Committee of One Hundred makes
itself speedily so formidable the blus
ter of the professional tricksters.

The Eagle and its Prey.

In hunting for their prey, the eagle
and his mate mutually assist each other.
It may here be mentioned that the eagles
are all homogeneous, keeping themselves
to single mate and living together in
the most perfect harmony through their
lives. Should, however, one of them
die or be killed, the survivor is not long
left in state of widowhood, but BAN
ished from the spot for few days and
then returns with new mate. 1t is a
rather remarkable fact, that, whereas the
vultures feed their young by disgorging
the food which they have taken into
their crops, the eagles carry their prey
to their nests and there tear it to pieces,
and feed the eaglets with the morsels.
When in pursuit of its prey it is a most
audacions bird, having been seen to
carry off hare from before the noses of
the hounds. 1t is keen fisherman,
catching and securing salmon and various
sea fish with singular skill. Sometimes
it has met with more than ills match, and
has seized upon fish that was too heavy
for its powers, thus falling victim to its
sporting propensities. Mr. Lloyd men.
tions several instances where eagles have
been drowned by pouncing upon large
pike, which carried their assaiants under
water and fairly drowned them. In more
than one instance the feet of an eagle
have been seen firmly clinched in the
pixies back, the body of the bird having
decayed and fallen away"
