INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 26.--General Har.
rison was able to-day 10 give his almost
undivided attention to work in his library.
being interrupted by but few callers. His
mail does not diminish and it requires a
good deal Of his time. Presents still con.
tinue to arrive by mail and ex-
press. Some of them are from old
friends and others are from stran-
gers. His health remains excellent and
he is able to get through an astonishing
amount of work. The weather was stormy
and dissgreeable, but it did not prevent
him from taking bis usual walk. Senator
Spooner arrived during the afternoon and
went at once TO the residence of the gen.
eral where he remained until quite late,
he being the only caller of special promi.
nence. He was passing through the city
and stopped of to make the call. The
general said there was no political sig
ni6cance in the visit. Afternoon recep-
tions will not be resumed until after New

A CHASTITY FIND.
Remains of a Murdered Man in
a Water Pipe.
LATEST PENNSYLVANIA HORROR
Two Men Are Suspected Of Having a Hand
in tho Horrible Butchery, hut No
Direct Evidence Is ut Hand.

PHnADELpuIA, Dec. GA party of
boys, while playing in Fast Fairmouut
park to-day in the vicinity Of the new city
reservoir found two bundles in a section
OF the new 36inch water main stored
there, which turned out to be the mutilat.
ed remains of a human body. Evidently
a most horrible murder had been com.
mltted.
CONDITION or THE CORPsB.
The legs had been cut of close 10 the
trunk, the left one having been cut with a
sharp knife and been sawed through
The other leg was likewise cut
and the bone was partly sawed
On the trunk we're three shirts, the outer
one being made Of dark flannel. A leather
strap was around the waist The arms
were not severed from the body but were
tied in front ut the wrists with stout
cord.
The head was crushed in a horrible
manner ut the back and there were three
terrible knife wounds on the side OF the
face The left jaw was also broken. The
body is evidently that of u German prob.
ably about 35 years of age. Near
the place where the bundles were
placed was found portion of newspa per
dated December 5th.
SUSPICIOUS sIoNs.
There are wagon tracks all around the
spot, but the police are of the opinion that
they were made by wagons hauling ma
terial used in the reservoir. The tracks,
however. appear to have been made by a
wheelbarrow, and those investi eating the
case are hopeful that this may prove a
clue to aid them in unraveling the m ystery
which now surrounds the crime.
DISTURBED by NOISES.
Late last night gardener living on the
border of the park, near where the remains
we're found. was awakened by the furious
barking of his dog. He seized his revol.
yer and ran out doors. He saw an object
moving from the direction of the park and
hailed it. Receiving no reply. he went TO
the reservoir, told the proprietor, John
Hinst, who also went out into the dark
ness and saw man walking from the
direction of the reservoir.
He called TO the man to halt, but his
command received no attention, and the
mysterious visitor to the park disappeared
in tho darkness.
A SUSPECTED FAIR.
The spot where tho ghastly remain,
were found is lonely one, and Mt this
time Of the year Is seldom ever visited by
by anyone. and the police, therefore, think
the parties Hinst and the gardner are con-
nected with the crime which led to the
placing of the body in the neglected por.
ton of the park.

DAKOTA is a thorn in the side of the
Republican party. But for the dissen-
sions and wTaHgIes among its superb
bundant crop OF politicians il would
long ago have been admitted TO State
hood. The trouble with il has been and
is that there are too many ambitious
o~ffieeseekers among its citizens to be
content with the limited number of Off
ces it would have TO fill if admitted as
one State. It is not as large as Texas by
one-third its sizs, and is very little larger
than Montana, so that the failacy Of un-
wieldiness is pure nonsense. The propo-
sitiOn Of the Republicans in the Senate
to admit the southern portion Of it as a
State is a transparent dodge to pave the
way for the creation OF two Republican
States eventually in place OF one Were
Dakota Democratic, the Senate Commit
tee on Territories would never have n
tertained the motion for division
second but would scout it with yirtuous
indignation.

While Republican managers in various

Statesman himself is rapidly fastening
towards a physical condition that bids
fair to carry him v that bourne from
whence no traveller returns. DIR. Hey

scTibes him as the victim of a disease
that may terminate fatally in six months
or a year. He says that from a plump
Kan. weighing 200 pounds, he has fallen
off so as now to present the appearance
OF "a shriyelled, bandy-legged old man
WHO viii not tip the scales at 100 pounds.
His face is thin and blue and his s,touI-
ders are STOPPING: those big full eyes are

The barefaced and wiIIful untruth Of
the Inter Mountain that The MINER al.
iuded to "the Democratic opponents Of
Cleveland in this Territory" as "detract-
ors and malcontents" is of a piece with
its cool effrontery in pretending to speak
for "eighttenths" instead Of four-ifths,
OF the Irish-Americans here. THE MINER
never made such a charge, for the simple
reason that the alleged opponents have
failed to materialize outside of the slug
gish Imagination Of our contemporary.
1t would be utterly impossible for THE
MINER to form an opinion Of what.
in common with the rest of the DEM
ocratie press OF the Territory, it
has no reason TO believe ex-
lists. Doubtless, the Democracy
Of the Territory being composed Of in
telligent citizens Of all classes. there
may be divergence of opinion among
them on minor points. The harmony of
a party does not depend upon eyery
member Of it entertaining absolute
unanimity of idea without shade Of
variance upon every subject concerning
the party. The fact is its general agree
ment OF opinion is the envy of the Re
publicans who are floating about like a
rudderless ship on a sea Of doubt and
despair, vainly~ endeavoring to reconcile
their completely divergent sentiments as
to who shall unite their scattered and
demoralized forces.
