Special Dtspd,ch to The Iateligeaecr.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 2S.--The
question us to who will be Chief Justice
Waite's successor is already being dis
cussed in political circles. From conver'
sations tonight with close friends Of The
administration the ISTELLIdENcER cor
respondent is inclined to predict that
when the contest develops it will be be-
tween New York and Indiana. That the
appointment will come from one OF these
States is n foregone conclusion with
those who have closely watched the
course Of things for the past three years
At the present writing 1t is
possible, and even probable, that the
appointment will 90 to Indiana, and that
the Presidents choice will be Judge
Niblack, OF the Indiana Supreme Court.
1t is urged by Indianians, and other
politicians who keep their weather eyes
open, that Indiana is as much apiyotai
State us is New York; that disattections
exist there which, until the present
COntl0HCnCy uFObe, were uDSOluVSlg nv
concilable; that the friends of the late
Vice President Hendricks need con.
ciiiation, and that the appointment OF
Judge Niblack to the position OF Chief
Justice OF the United States would so
farther toward harmonizing the factions
OF Indiana than any other that could be
made. 0fcourse ex-senator McDonald's s
friends have much to say in
his behalf, but "Uncle joe" his
enemies say, since he has been practic.
ing law in Washington, has degenerated
into nothing more than lobbyist, and
has untitled himselffor so exalted po-
sition. Besides, the Mcdonald faction
of the Indiana Democracy never has
been in much favor at the White House.
II the appointment goes TO Indiana it
will, in all probability, be Niblack, he
being the.most available man. There is
talk Of Roscoe Conkling, in case Of the
appointment being rendered to New
York. Conkling, however, has once re-
fused an appointment on the Supreme
bench, and It is likely lie would do so
again. The President feels reasonably
sure OF New York, and us Indiana is in
most jeopardy, the prediction that the
latter States claims will be first consid-
cred, seems well founded.

house last evening, John Smith, post
master at Burlington, is President Of the
Society. After the meeting had ad-
journed, a number of prominent gem
tlcmen remained in the school house to
discuss matter in which Henry Held
figured. Last Monday night Held
kicked in the door Of the school house
and committed other acts Of vandalism,
at least so it is alleged, and this gather
ing was to discuss what policy 10 pursue
toward him.
President Smith counseled leniency,
and his suggestion prevailed. 1t was
agreed that Held should not be prose-
cuted If he would pay for the damage hc
had done.
Charles Held, q younger brother of
Henry's, was present during the discus
sion, and several times he became dis
orderly. Mr.. Smith was constrained to
warn him that ii he did not behave bet
ter he would arrest him.
When the decision was reached and
the men arose to go, Charles Held ad-
vanced to where Mr.. Smith was stand
ing, and struck him stinging blow in
the face, knocking him down.

revolver and saying: Charley, behave,
or III shoot your
Almost instantly he did shoot. Tho
ball struck Held in the left side, and he
fell. He was removed to neighboring
house and Drs. Hervey, Blackford and
Williams were summoned from Mar
tins Ferry. They found the ball had
ranged through the abdomen clear
across the mans body, lodging near the
skin on the right side. The ball was
only thirty-two calibre, but the dis
tance between the two men was but u
few feet.
The physicians said there was not one
chance in a thousand for Held's re-
covery.
Smith was arrested, brought to Mar
tins Ferry and lodged in the lookup
about 80 this morning. He sayswhen
he threatened to shoot he had no inten-
ton OF doing SO, but merely wanted to
scare Held. A black mist came over his
eyes, and he fired unconsCiously. He
feels very bad over the sad result.
Held is little over 20 years old, and
single.
Il was the opinion OF all who saw the
shooting that Smith was justified in
shooting, and that he acted in self de-
fense. lie will have hearing to-day.
