HON. FRANK HURD.
Public Man Who Has All the Courage of
His Convictions.

Public Man Who Has A.. the Courage of
His Convictions.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30-Frank Hurd, Ohio's
great free-trade exponent, is probably the most
courageous statesman who has served in Con-
gress for many years. His friends say he never
had conviction that he feared to state any
where at any time. He would express an opin-
ion if he wished though he were in campaign
and it was antagonistic to every element of his
success He is a fine lawyer and one of the most
brilliant orators in the country. and all of the
powers of those faculties are given to the ex-
preston of his views upon all subjects he enter
tains.
When Mr.. Hurd made his great free trade
fight in the last Congress, his district was large
ly for tariff protection. He never needed the Pc
ttions and appeals sent him to desist from his
work for the repeal of the tariff laws and strange
to say he spent of his time in fields of labor
where his constituents toied not He made
campaign on a free trade platform in protection
district and then worked in the face of the fact
for free trade Strong efforts were made by his
family to change him in his tariff work, to no
avail He is never selfish. and in laboring in q
public capacity even fought his private interests
Hurds sister married the son of Columbus Del
ano, the ex Secretary of the Interior. Columbus
Deano and his son are the largest wool growers
in this country. and the father is at present
president of the Sheep raising Association of the
United States The Delanos have millions of
sheep, and sought to have Hurd cease his war
upon wool; but the more they begged him to de-
sst the stronger became his zeal, and his speech
for free WOOL delivered in the last Congress, was
the strongest blow the wool interests ever had.
Mr.. Hurds zealousness. however, does not in
terfere with his pleasantness. No man is moro
popular here. he is kind, generous and oblig-
ing. He is bachelor, about forty-four years of
age, and was educated at Kenyon College, Gam
bier, O., where Rutherford B. Hayes was edu-
Gated. He is converted Catholic, and a mem
Der of the Golden Club, the free trade organiza-
tion of England. But his political career is said
to be blighted. He opposed the Paynes of Ohio,
and the coal oil influences were turned against
him. Hurd inherited large fortune, but it is
said he has disbursed most of it.

Municipal War at St. Louis.

ST. Louis, Jan. 30-A highly exciting scene
occurred in the lower house Of the municipal as
sembly last night The house was in a wranple
over the gas bills, which have been bones of CON
tention before it for several weeks past, and in
the height of discussion over motion to refer
the correctness of the form of a certifcation
upon one of the bills TO the city counselor, the
speaker, Mr. Fox, declared the House adjourned
and left the chair. This produced great COM
motion, and the minority, or the Fox men, left
the hail. The majority then reconvened, elected
new speaker and clerk, and or two minor
officers. and adjourned after sending for squad
of police to take charge Of the hall and prevent
the minority from meeting there. Three police
man were stationed at the hall after midnight
but the excitement had then subsided. The po-

dixie AND LADY dixie.

Issues Involved in the Crawford Divorce
Trial-Its Political Side.
London Letter in Philadelphia Press.
More depends upon the issue of Crawford vs..
Dixie than is generally supposed. Should Sir
Charles fail to vindicate his character by mega
tiving satisfactorily the aspersions of an hyster-
ical woman his retirement from the political
arena must naturally be the consequence. Since
his marriage the salon of Lady Dixie has re-
vived the memories of the days when titled
ladies were even more active politicians
than their husbands. In Lady Diikes
drawing g-rooms in the somewhat dingy-look-
ing mansion in Sloane street, Chelsea,
may be seen gathered, particularly on
Sundays the mon of light and leading in the
Liberal and Radical camps. AS Mrs. Mark Pat
tison, the gifted and beautiful hostess occupied
a subordinate position, but her courage in rails
ing Sir Charles from the dust in which, without
due reason, he had abased himself has reflected
favorably upon herself. In word she has
leaped into notoriety. From the breath of scan
dal she has diligently protected her husband
from the moment she telegraphed from Nice
authorizing the publication of their engagement
and she consented to the marriage taking place
just before the general election, by which she
obtained the right to assist him. as the first Lady
Dixie had done personally in his canvass No
doubt she saved his seat
Since then she has found the columns of re-
views open to her, and she has aspired to the
character Of a woman who can talk. In this
ambition the newspapers are helping her. Sir
Charles himself takes pride in having cast off his
former labored style OF public speaking in favor
Of the debating method that is to say, he now
speaks, except on set occasions, extempore, in
stead Of reciting carefully prepared haranguea

Fight Between COWBOYS and Mexicans.

DURANGO. Col. Jan. 2O.-The mail carrier
from Pennington, N. NJ, reports that a pro-
tracted fight recently occurred between Carlisle's
cowboys and some Mexican sheep-herders on the
lower San Juan river, near the Navajo reserva-
tion The trouble grew out of an effort of both
parties to occupy the same range. The sheep
herders drove their fiocks where the cattle were
feeding. anc the cowboys attempted to drive
them off The Mexicans proved too strong for
their assaiants and forced them to take refuge
in a cabin. They then burned all the other
buildings belonging to the cowmen and held the
latter as prisoners in the cabin for two days,
during which time they drove their sheep away
and then left. One Mexican was killed during

A Mistake That Is Likely to Take Andrea
Depolido to the Gallows.
Special to the Indianapolis JournaI.
New YORK, Jan. 30-Andrea Depoiido is
astounded to learn that man can be hanged in
America for killing a faithless wife, He under
stood that such a homicide was legally iustifable
in the country, and his mistake is pretty sure to
take him to the gallows. He is an Italian,
with the aspect of Sicilian bandit, and he sub
stituted very small amount of Americanisms
for his native characteristics during about year
of residence in the squalid Italian quarter of
Mulberry street A woman noted in that neigh
borhood for beauty, though her loveliness re-
quired Italian eyes to see it, was Gaetana di
Stefano She lived with a fellow-countryman,
Jean Bucci, until he decided to bring his own
wife from Italy. It was amicably arranged,
months beforehand. that she should be trans
ferred to Depolido when Mrs. Bucci arrived, and
that was done, with regular wedding to make
her Mrs. Depolido. Eleven DAYS ago. she was
deliberately shot to death by Depolido.
because she had maintained an intimacy
with Bucci who was younger and
comeier than her husband. The murderer was
arrested, and owing to the usual difficulty IN get

Depolldo announced his determination to slay his
wife; and now it transpires that he thought be
had legal advice to do so. He became desper-
ately jealous and revengeful. The Tombs is close
to his abode, at 65 Mulberry street, and shyster
lawyers abound there. He went to one of them,
and in half Understandable English inquired if
rnaritally wronged husbands were punishable for
taking the lives of their wrongers. He had his
ragpicking bag on his back, and was an outre OBJ
ject. His inquiry was treated jocosely, and the
remark was made: ssNo we dom hang husbands
who kill their wives lovers" Depolido took that
to mean seriously as he had previously believed
that he had right, under our laws, to punish
his faithless spouse with death He told her So
a warning. but she derided him and went to
keep an assignation with Bucci Her slaughter
ensued. Depolido has rested easily in prison
under his delusion, until his counsel has unde.
ceived him.
