THE DoCUMENT-RooMs.

A Contrast that Makes Bad Showing for
the Democratic House.
Sl1eciai to the Indianapolis Journal.
WARRINGTON, Feb. l2.-There is good deal
of complaint being made by members of the
House about the way the documentroom
of their branch of Congress is kept. Every
thing is in disorder and confusion, they say, and
only political favors have been observed in Sc
lecting new men to take charge of it. The docu-
lnent and folding rooms of the House of Repre-
sentatives have been filled with new men every
two years as long as the oldest statesman can
remember No one has been retained in either
place who could keep run Of affairs, and the
Consequence is no one is there who knows any
thing about the documents of past Congresses.
In the Senate the superintendent of the docu-
rnent-room has held the position for many years,
and he can instantly recall the date of any old
documents and lay his hands upon them. SEN
ators find him invaluable In preparing informa-
tion upon the various subjects they are called
upon to deal with. Mr. AMI Smith. the super
intendent, is a regular encyclopedias of congress
sional information. He can upon shor: notice.
supply any testimony taken before congression-
oil committees for decades back, and knows all
capacious rooms over which he presides. All this
in his position through successive congresses
The members of the House know this and the
confusion in their own documentroom and the
folly Of the many changes that are constantly
made is forcibly impressed upon them, and they
are growing about it.

Grand Army Posts Arranging Plan for
Boycotting the Exhibition.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12-The local press gives
considerable attention, this evening. to the per
version of historical facts as it is proposed to
represent the battle of Bull Run by panorama
company here, mention of which was made in
these dispatches last night Much comment has
been made already in Union soldier circles, and
great Indignation is being shown. 1t is proba-
BILE that resolution on the subject will be intro
duced in Congress. inquiring into the subject, al
though everyone comedies that nothing can be
done to stop the exhibition, be the in
suit never SO fragrant. An order more
positive and effective in character, however
than the resolutions published in the dispatch of
last night. will be promulgated by the Grand
Army posts Of this city and which will be boy
colt in fact. Major Hopkins, who is in COM
mand of Kit Carson Post, in speaking of this
matter to-day, said that such representation
was very inappropriate in the capital of a nation
nations victories in battle were the proud
heritage of succeeding generations. but to dwell
upon its defeats. TO represent to children the hui
initiation OF their ancestors, was spectacle that
few nations would tolerate. A representation of
the battle Of Watterloo in Paris would not be al
lowed for one instant; besides no thought now
that the disposition was not to glorify the con
federate part in the great civil contest, but to
pass II by as q mistake and to rejoice in united
country.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Feb 12--Last Thursday

named Ben Holmes was shot down by Cecil
Thompson. Magistrate George M. Barrow, of
that township, held an inquest over the remains

family residing in this city. So Thompson in
terposed an objection to Mr.. Holiness atteu-

sion. But the giddy girl still encouraged
Holmes, and he continued. clandestinely, to
meet her. Thompson went to Holmes and
warned him to remain away. On Thurs
day the two men met in the woods,
near Thompson's home, and had a long quarrel,
which ended in Holmes drawing his knife and
threatening to cut Thompson's throat. Thomp-
son was armed with ak. and so kept Holmes
at distance. He ordered Holmes never to en-
ter his premises again. Holmes said he would
see the girl. or Idle IN the attempt" On enter

turned to the door, saying to Holmes, who was
standing at the gate IF you curse me and my
family will shoot you
"Well, blaze away returned Holmes Thomp-
son pulled the trigger and filed his antagonist

A Remarkable Pension Fraud Unearthed by
Government Detective.

A Remarkable Pension Fraud Unearthed by
Government Detective.
SHELBYvILLE, Feb IA remarkable pen
sion fraud has just been brought to light in this
city. In 1862 Jacob Roellnger deserted from
the French army. came to this country and
joined the Union forces. Fearing that the
French would aid the Confederaey, and that he
would be captured and punished as deserter,
he deserted his New York company and enlisted
under an assumed name in en- Ohio regiment.
In the original command he was still accounted
for, and was finally reported as taken prisoner.
In the meantime he served ont his time in the
Buckeye company was discharged and came to
this city. About four years ago he applied for
pension. giving his name as Cannon. The claim
was pigeon-holed until few days ago, when
special agent dropped in to Investigate the case,
and made the following revelations: Fred Roei
linger. of New York, is drawing pension as
the dependent father of Jacob Roeliinger who.
it is alleged, died at Andersonville; another man
claiming to be Roellinger. drew his back paw and
bounty and went to Europe, while third,
named Cassidy. is drawing pension in his own
name In one place. and Jacob Roelneer in
another. Still fourth. representing himself to
be Roellinger, made application, but was appre-
hended and sent to the penitentiarv, while a
fifth application is now file at the department
for the alleged widow of the soldier in question.
Notwithstanding all these complications the case
is now in a fair way to be cleared up, when the
rightful soldier will receive his dues.
