ELUCIDATED BY BOSS COY.
He Explains to His Brother Saloon keepers
How to Close at II O'Clock.

Superintendent ODonuell, at rollcall last
night, instructed the men that Mr.. Murphy's
address meant just what was said. He told
them that all violations of the IL o'clock liquor law
that came in their way must be attended to by
the arrest of the barkeeper, or saloon proprie.
tor or whoever sold or gave away liquor after
that hour. When the spirit Of Mr.. Murphy's
speech reached George Shaw, Sam Dinnin, and
other East Washingt nstreet saloon-keepers.
night before last, feeling only little removed
from panic took hold of them.
Sim Coy heard of it, and spent the
evening in allaying fears by giving
his interpretation Of what was said. He used
this argument, emphasizing his periods by cut
ting and slashing the air with his slender cane,
while his chubby form took more and more the
shape and Importance of the jack of clubs.
''You see, you fellows don't understand this
thing. 1t is all right for Murphy to talk that
proper, but you've got to look at these things as
l do. Such speeches don't mean anything, and
you'll find there will be no trouble. shut the
doors OF my saloon every night at IL o'clock,
and l do it on Sunday, too but know what
am about. You just look at it in that way. and
don't you get scared. There will be no trouble.
This action of the Commissioners is worth 1000
majority to U.S.
.sBut" timidly protested Sam Dinnin. "what
the deuce does Murphy mean by talking that
way. 1t seems be is in earnest"
NOW dontyou make an ass of yourself, Sam
Dinnin. had to quiet George Shaw just this
way awhile ago. He was frightened out of his
wits tell you would have talked that way
myself, just as Murphy did. He could not have
done it better, had he asked me how and what to
say. We must all shut up at IL o'clock you
know and that is all there is in it. If you don't
know how to shut up, send for me- and will
teach you how to run bar" Sim and Sam
rapidly crossed the street to apply consolation to
another fellow who did not know how to close his
bar at IL o'clock
Last night several saloonkeepers doubtless
followed the Coy theory, for their blinds were
close drawn, but over the top came flood of
light from gas brightly burning. 1t was quar-
ter to II o'clock when this sign of the law OBJ
servance, together with lively conversation
within was noticed

TRAGICAL END OF AN ELOPEMENT.
Oscar Dawson, Who Ran Away with His Faith
er's Wife, Kills Himself with Poison.

The criminal relationship that existed be-
tween Mrs. Kate NJ Dawson and her step-son,
Oscar, which led to arrests, suits and other
troubles, all ending in divorce decree in favor
of the husband and the suicide of the wife, yes
terday supplied another chapter of tragedy by
the suicide of the woman's paramour.
1t was the intention of Mrs. Dawson and Oscar
to go to California together. Saturday last she
received the 81 900 the court allowed her from
her husband and deposited it in Fletcher &
Churchman'S bank. She had but one creditor, as
far as known. herlawyer, w. F.A. Bernhamer. His
services were confined to procuring bond, giving
attention to criminal charges against Oscar and
his step-mother and to fling complaint for di
vorce on tho part of the wife. He also repre-
scented her interests in the divorce instituted by
the husband. When it became the current ru-
NOR that the guilty pair were to leave the State
Bernhamer at once took measures to secure the
amount os his fees, which he fixed at 1888. Last
Sunday he got capias against Mrs. Dawson
says Sheriff Carter. s'and sought to have me
take her in at the Jail" This the sheriff refused,
and the next day the lawyer filed suit in at
tachment against the 81 900 deposit in the bank.

Soldiers Monuments.

One would think, from the numerous notices
we read of proposed monuments, that We would
soon rival the ancient Egyptians in the construc-
ton of memorials to great men and great events.
The people Of Indiana are awaking to the fact
that we are behind our sister States in this re-
gard, and taking active steps to retrieve lost
ground, and are beginning to erect monuments
to the memory of her soldiers who gave their
lives in the cause of the Union.
The Commissioner of Howard county are
among the first to recognize the Importance Of
this move, and will dedicate an elegant monu-
ment to the memory of her brave boys on Deco
ration Day. May 80, 1886. This monument will
stand about ffty-two feet high, and is built of
Barre granite. It will be surmounted by colos-
sal statue of colorbear resting upon richly
carved capital, while near the base will stand, on
the left an infantryman. and on the right a cav
alryman. These statues are cut in full relief,
life size, and are elegant specimens Of sculpture
This work is being built by the well known gran
lite firm of Whitehead & Wright, rs East Market
street. this city. which fact alone Is sufficient
guarantee of frst-class workmanship 1t is to
be hoped that every county in the State will fol-
low in the footsteps Of the Commissioners of
Howard county, and that another decade will
not pass until every county will have suitable
monument erected to the memory of her dead
soldiers

NOMINATION OF A PROSECUTOR.
A Long and Spirited Contest To Be Settled
by the Judicial Convention To-Day.

The nomination at Danville, this afternoon, of
for this judicial district will close very spirited
contest of several months duration. The can
vass for delegates and through them for the
nomination has been made by Joseph w. Keal-
ing assistant prosecuting attorney; Frank Nc
Crea late attorney for paupers, and Harrison I.
Iincher, well-known young lawyer. Each
candidate has had strong support from friends,
and since people began to talk of primaries and
conventions this year, there is hardly district,
locality or neighborhood that has not been visit
ed by one or all of them. They
and made thorough canvass of
its territory. Whoever is successful, he cannot
claim that the honor Of nomination came easily.
When the various Marion county delegates to
this convention were chosen the fight assumed an
interesting phase, which was not devoid of warm
EXPRESSIONS; but all that has been oblterated.
and there need be no trouble of break in q
harmonious support of the candidate selected.
there are conjectures, of course, as to who
Will hrst reach the goal, but as the friends of
each candidate put forth the same unqualified
Dellef that their man is to be nominated, it is
ratner hard to arrive at anything like just
forecast of the result. Healing, though, is the
center OF the contest, with a possible combina-
ton OF Tincher and McCrea, or McCrea and
Tincher, against him. Mr. Kealing's support
ers predict for him nomination on the
second ballot. On the other hand, Mr. McCrea's
friends think he will be equally as strong on the
hrst ballot as Healing, and the same claim is
urged by Mr. Tincher. The probabilities OF
combination after this ballot depend upon the
McCrea and Tincher votes. The friends of the
latter concede to Healing thirty three or thirty
four votes of the city delegation. The conven-
ton will meet at o'clock, and it is expected the
business will be settled in time for returning to
the city on the afternoon train.

Will e. English has reconsidered his intention,
announced in an interview few weeks ago, to

of that kind would be likely to occur .in
the present state OF affairs" He expresses
the opinion that Mr.. Bynum cannot be nomi-
mated because the feeling among Democrats in
this city is strongly against him, and the repre-
sentation of Marion county in the convention
comprises seventy-one votes. while the number
required to nominate is only sixty. He thinks

curing his stay, that be intended TO harm his
father.
For some time he has been staying at the
house Of his brother Samuel, No. 383 East New
York street, and he returned to that place about
8 o'clock yesterday morning. A few minutes
later he went to the room he usually occupied
and locked the door. His sister-in-law paid
but little attention to this, but when an
hour or two later, she heard noise
OF vomiting in the room, she
asked Oscar to open the door. He replied that
it was not necessary, as he did not require atten
ton. She left the house on an errand, and, re-
turning, found he was still coughing and vomit-
ing This was at noon, and at her request he
opened the door, saying. II have taken arsenic"

was thirty-two years OF age, the youngest of

had the most trouble. He was looked upon by
some as wanting in perfect mental Balance. No
