A Queer Old Woman.

An old Irish woman, named Martha Harris,
was tau nd wandering in the western part of the
city. yesterday afternoon, by two patrolmen.
She told them she had just arrived on the train
from Quebec, Canada. She was on her way to
Jacksonville. AL, where her two sons live. She
had only money Saough to come as far as this
city, and intended to walk the rest OF the way,
thinking it was only about twenty miles. She
was much surprised to bear that it was nearly
two hundred miles. She was taken to the sta
ton house and a pass to Greencastle procured
for her from the township trustee. She was OK
tremely independent. and maintair~s =
that if the
.....e "oulu let her alone she was fully able to
take care of herself. She would not consent
that her sons be communicated with, as she
wanted to take them by surprise. During the
evening she slipped away from the station
house, and it is supposed she took late train
and went to Greencastle

skotzki,s Release Ordered.

Judge Howe yesterday decided that Leo
Skotzki, the lad who applied for a writ of
habeas corpus, was entitled to his liberty. He
submitted special finding in which he found
that in 1883 Skotzki and his father were jointly
indicted in the Morgan County sCircuit Court,
but whether for an offense punishable
by fine only or by fine and Imprisonment
does not appear of record. Charles Skotzki.
the father. employed Shively s. Jordan as at
torneys to defend him and the petitioner, but it
is shown that the latter did not secure or assent
to their employment as his attorneys. 1t
further appears that the petitioner was never
arrested as the individual, nor has he pleaded
thereto. nor did he ever enter an appearance in
said court. In February, 1884, judgment was
rendered against him. The Judge did not think
this sufficient to justify Leo's arrest

THE ENGINEER MsEs TO EXPLAIN
How the Estimated Cost of the Washington
Street Improvements Was Increased.

There appears q difference of s. 40 between
the first estimate of cost made by City Engineer
Sheerer and the bid of Fulmer & Siebert, to
whom the committee on streets and alleys will
recommend to Council, tomorrow night, the
award Of the contract for the improvement Of
Washington street This is accounted for by
an amendment to the ordinance. providing for
concrete foundation and composition topping
It vas before the ordinance was passed as
amended that the engineer made his estimate
of cost at 81 per front foot His calculations
were based on the presumption that only sand
foundation would be used
when I was at work on the ordinance orig
inally submitted to Council" said he, yesterday,
"a number of citizens came to me with the re-
quest that should provide for a sand founda-
ton, as that would be much cheaper. After
this committee went to ST. Louis to inspect
the granite pavements there. We were told
that sand alone would give defective
foundation, and that good granite pave
ment could be secured only by using
concrete foundation, with composition to fill
in the spaces between the blocks. This view was
accepted, and the ordinance was amended and
passed accordingly. This necessarily increased
the cost by that OF concrete, which ia s.. So per
front foot, and composition at 62 cent? The
change also required an item or two beyond this.
1t ia upon these changes that the Fulmer &
Seibert bid for the work at $l2 40 per front foot
is based"
rs this bid a fair average for the cost of gran
lite pavementsl"
I'm Louisville granite pavements cost $42 per
square of 100 feet, or SIG 80 per front foot This
is without excavation and curbing. which the
contractors for our work must do The ST. Louis
streets improved with granite blocks cost $13 per
front foot, On the work in this city the amount
charged to abutting property will be So H.. The

DRUNK WHEN HE WAS MARRIED.
The Peculiar Plea for Divorce Instituted by
Robert JOlly-His Third Divorce Suit.

Robert Jolly yesterday filed a suit for divorce
from Lucinda jolly. 1t was in February, this
year, while badly under the influence of liquor
the defendant according to the husbands state
ment, induced him to marry her. He says that
when drunk he is irresponsible, as liquor affects
him peculiarly, on account of a wound in the
head received in battle. The next day she had
him arrested for drunkenness and sent to the
work house, and he charges that before the
arrest she took his safe key and pocket
book, with 800 in it. He also alleges
that she got $50 from the safe.
He further says she ill-treated his children, and
while he was in the work house she carted away
his household goods. Mrs Jolly. he says, then
left, and is now leading disreputable life. At
intervals she comes to his place to abuse him
and his children. He also wants an order of
court to keep her away from his house. This is
the third divorce suit Mr.. jolly has filed. having
already been divorced from two women. His
present wife was a Miss Graham.

few days ago, in city paper Albert Thayer,
recently patient at the Indianapolis Hospital
for the Insane, published an article alleging that
some of the patients at that institution had re-
ceived cruel treatment at the hands of attend
ants; that the food was insufficient and the man
agement incompetent. Mr.. Thayer may have
been at some time deranged, but his statement
sufficiently direct and coherent to attract
considerable attention. Further than this he
applied to number of persons for an investiga-
ton of the matter, among others to ex- Governor
Porter and State Senator VIM. D. Fon!ke. Mr..
Foulke, with A. A. McKan and O. T. Morton,

RETURN OF EX-SENATOR MDoNALp.
He Denies the Statement That He Is Not a
Candidate for the Senate.

Last evening JourEs... reporter called upon
Hon. Joseph E. Mcdonald, who returned from
Washington at noon yesterday. He found him
at home, he and Mrs Mcdonald seated in the
breezy hall facing the west, enjoying the cooling
zephyr Mrs. Mcdonald, as always, was bright
pleasant and conversational, while the ex-Sena-
tor, in broad and comfortable chair. enjoying
his evening cigar seemed impervious to all
sublunary cares.
In answer to the reporters inquiries he said:

which increased the work of Mr.. Bright and my

Cabinet changes2"
II have no information that there is likely to
be any change in the Cabinet. All the rumors
on that subject are simply rumors. I am very
certain Mr.. Cleveland does not want to make
any change in the Treasury Department il there
is any possibility of Mr. Manning's return to
health. Mr.. Manning has been great and
valuable support to the President during the ad-
ministration, and it would be very difficult if
not impossible, to supply his place, not only a
confidential friend, but as a very able Cabinet
officer The President naturally feels that if
Mr. Manning's health is restored so he could
possibly go back he hopes and believes that he
will do So"
Mrs Mcdonald here interposed to express the
heartiest sympathy for Mr. Manning, whom she
characterized as an excellent gentleman.
Mr.. Mcdonald when asked about Attorney
general Garland, said IL do not think any
change is thought of in the attorney general
ship" He then continued: II learned as was
leaving Washington that it had been extensively
circulated that had expressed opinions of de-
spondency so far AS our State concerned,
and that had indicated that / would not think
of being candidate for the Senate because my
opinion was that the State was almost certain to
go Republican All such statements are who'll y
manufactured ones, and there is not the slightest
foundation for them"

following article:
FISHING FOR SUCKERS.
'Learning on Sunday that Rev j. II. Mere
dith was in town for the purpose of delivering a
series of temperance lectures, a Review repre-
sentative started out Monday morning, armed
with the following which appeared in the. Chris
tian Advocate of Feb. 20. to find him:
"a man giving his name as Rev. j. H. Meredith
and claiming to be Methodist preacher and temper.
lecturer has been vctimzing the preachers and
people of Kentucky, and doubt of other States

mo trace of the gentleman referred to could
be found until about o'clock in the afternoon,
when Rev. James B. Lathrop Informed the re-
porter that Mr. Meredith was going to Indian
apolis the o'clock train, and it was too late
then to overhaul him. Other ministers were
met and was the general opinion that the
lecturer was fraud
Meredith made special efforts with each of
our pastors to gel their pulpits for Sunday even
ing but as he was not recommended by any of
elocai temperance people they refused to grant
his request
1.-The lecture he delivered in the afternoon was
indeed an able effort, but his manner of deliver
ing it told plainly that it had been memoriZed.
The amount collected at this meeting was very
small.
''The seeker after suckers was to return here
and deliver lecture on Tuesday evening, but
learning that damaging reports were in circula
ton, he wisely concluded not to come. The
total sum of money collected in this city was not
very fattering, and it is presumed that he did
not consider this favorable field.
Meredith is OF rather heavy build smooth
face, and wore the regulation clerical suit,
