ployes Were in the Union Service.

No doubt much to Postmaster Jones's disgust
when he went into office, he found nearly one
half the force Of clerks and letter-carriers COM
posed Of men who had an honorable army
ord in fighting for the Union. 1t is presumed
he did not dare TO risk criticism by discharging
them all at once by requesting them to resign.
Notwithstanding the clamor for places from
Democratic ward politicians was loud and per-
sistent. One by one. at intervals that suited
his purpose, he dropped from his force the vet
Grams account of their having been employed
by his Republican predecessor. until they were
all out of the Office. The list of these old sol
diers discharged from clerical and carrier service

THE BARRIERS QUESTION NOT SETTLED.
Hoffman Acquitted. but the Mayor Holds that
Shaving on Sunday Is Not Necessity.

Mayor Denny rendered his decision in the
Sunday shaving law yesterday morning. by
which he released Hoffman. but held that work
OF that kind that day was not necessity.
He announced the beginning of his decision
that the facts brought out at the trial did not
present the question the BARRIERS desired to have
settled. The evidence showed that Hoffman,
the defendant, was only part proprietor of the
shop as the proprietor of the hotel had half
interest in the business. The latter instructed
Mr. Hoffman to shave the guests of the house
only. ard ia accordance with that instruction
he last Sunday shaved e. N Gray, who
lives in Toledo. and who arrived in the city Sat
urday night after all the shops were closed. 1t
was also discovered in the testimony that the
defendant shaved no other person that day. and
thera was proof that he in:ended to shave
any one but guests of the hotel. Under such
evidence the Mayor discharged Hoffman He
based his opinion the decision of the Supreme
Court in the case of Carver against the State,
90 Ind. 61 where it is held that the proprietor
of hotel may lawfully sell cigar TO his ira vel
ing guest. where he was unable TO secure his
Sunday supply of cigars Saturday. This de-
cislon is overruled in the late case of Mueller
against the State, 76 Ind, 80. After discharg-
ing Hoffman the Mayor reviewed the decision
at length on the main question, as TO whether
shaving on Sunday is a necessity within the
meaning of the statute He msiDtained that it
10 not. basing his opinion on the last case cited
in which it is held that the sale OF cigar
Sunday Is not necessity While there 10 no de-
cision applying directly TO shaving. the Mayor
believed that the quoted would meet the
question before him
The decision not surprise to the boss
BARRIERS. Underlit the shops located in the hotels
will be permitted to shave hotel guests on Sun
day, who come in late Saturday night AS the
test case was not fair one it has been arranged
to have some barber not connected with a hotel,
keep open to-day. and his case will be appealed
to the Supreme Court. The shops will be closed
again to-day

Failure to Get Work Made Him Insane.

Failure to Get Work Made Elm Insane.
Andrew Patterson, a machinist, living at No
167 Prospect street, was declared insane yester-
day by commission composed of Drs. Morss
and Hadley and Justices Smock and Judkins
The Investigation of the causes CT Mr.. Patter-
sons mental trouble by the commission revealed
very peculiar case Several months ago Mr..
Patterson lost position he was filing. and be-
inc unable to again secure work, he became
possessed with the hRllucination that
his wife and children were going to
starve. When his mental weakness frat
began to show itself he told some of his
neighbors that through his strong love for his
wife and children he would kill them rather
than see them die of starvation. During the
last few days his insanity has become violent,
and il has required four men to prevent him
from taking his own life and tnose of his wife
and children. The physicians think that all his
trouble was brought on by his getting out of
work at time when he had not been able
save anything on which to support his family.
He was removed to the Insane Hospital yester.

A CRYSTAL PALACE.
The Handsomest Place in the West-A
Soda Fountain Weighing Four Tons
and Costing $4,000.

At last indianapolis may fairly claim an es-
Establishment which, of its Kind, has not an equal
in the West and is not excelled in beauty by any
in New York city or in the world. at o'clock
last evening j. W. Bryan opened bis new
pharmacy in the building just completed on the
corner of Illinois street aud Jackson square. op-
posite the new Union railway station. Mr..
Bryan came to this city in 1862 a quarter
OF a century ago, and has always been near the
Union Depot, having what is known 1.-The
railroad trade" It is safe to say that there is
not an engineer, conductor, baggageraan or rail
road official who ever ran into Indianapolis, or
for that matter into Indiana. who is not ac-
quanted with or st least has heard of "Bry ans
drug store"
The new place he has just opened is literally
palace of crystal. The FROM is nearly all glass.
while within the looker-on is agreeably surprised
byinumerous multiplying mirrors. The fixtures
by far the richest and most artistic ever seen
in the West, the design being entirely new. the
work of w. Scott Moore, architect. OF this city.
The ceiling and sidewalks have been charmingiy
frescoed by that skillfui artist, Frank Fertig.
Everything In the store is new. complete IN
modern style and fitting, with an addI-
tional stock much of which consists
in novelties, In rare and curious articles, in toll
let aud fancy goods, and that great variety of
needful and beautiful things known as drug
gists sundries." The flooring is of marble, with
blue tile corner pieces making delightful con-
trast to the great smooth. white slabs. The
prescription will meet the appreciation of
every physician, and the praise ana wonder of
visiting druggists. 1t is admirably arranged for
work, while the front is Of ground and colored
glass. with a great beveled plate mirror in the
center.
Mr.. Bryan has long had an enviabie reputa-
ton dealer in choice cigars and tooaccos,
and in his new location opens with even finer
selection than ever before. He has the latest
improved prescription and counter scales. The
prescription scales delicately adjusted as
toyleid to sixty-tourth part of grain. The
shelves are filled with the latest punted ware
with mirror glass behind them. Mr. Bryans
showcases are beautiful aud quite out of the
usual style. They are from the factory of Mr.
Wiegel, of this city, and are high tribute to
his skill and workmanship. The wood work and
general fitting out is the work of Salisbury &
Stanley. the well known builders.
Mr.. Bryan has one of the four finest and high
est-priced soda fountains ever made. It was
built especially for him by j. W. Tufts, of Bos-
ton, is called the 'Tndanapolitan." and cost
sc. 600. This magnificent piece of work is of
highly finished marble. weighs four tons. has
twenty-four glass syrup-cans fourteen mineral
water and three soda drafts. It has cooling
capacity for from 300 to 500 pounds of ice. The
fountain will be in place in a few days
