Memorial Service.

Central Union Church was completely
filed last evening, at the annual service In
connection with the observance of Mem
orial Day by Geo. w belong Post, GAR.
Decorations were in keeping with the ma
ture of the ceremonies. Platform and
choir gallery were almost hidden with
beautifully variegated bouquets. Two
American flags were draped on the organ
pipes; similar drapery covered the reading
desk, the starry folds opening out to reveal
a portrait of Lieut.. De Long, the lamented
patronymic of the Post A stand of arms
stood on either side in front of the plat
form.
Members of the above Post, headed by
Com. V. " Ashford, occupied seats in the
front center. Rev. VIC. Merritt. Chaplain
of the Post, sat beside the pastor, Rev. DR..
Beckwith, assisting him in the devotional
exercises. His EXcellency George W.
Merrill, United States Minister Resident
and Mr.. J II. Putnam, Consul-General
were present, also, in uniform, Captain
SHOEMAKER and several officers of the
L. 5. F. 5. Vandalia, Major Hebbard and
the other officers of the Honolulu Rifles
Amongst many prominent civilians were
noticeable several country members of the
Legislature.
In the march from the Post-room, on
King street, the Post led, followed success
lively BY the officers of the Vandalia and
the Rities-each in order of rank. On
arriving at the church, the Post opened
ranks on the march, halted, and faced in
wards, allowing the visitors to pass be-
tween; after which they followed in meas
ured tread.
Rev. DR.. Beckwith chose the following
text from the Book of Judges: Zebulun
and Napthali we're people that jeoparded
their lives to the death in the high places
of the field" The thought suggested by
the text, which was from the triumphal
song of a loyal woman, was the honor put
upon those that fought the battle. This

The Report that Thurman Did Not Dec
crate His House.
COLUMBUS, o., September 27.-The fol-
lowing correspondence explains itself
The letter from Mr.. Smith is but one of
many, and the answer being one to the
truth of which thousands of Columbus
people, without regard to party, can
testify:
"FARwELn, Mich, September "a, 1883.
Hon. A. q. Thurman, Columbus, O.-Dear
Sir: Enclosed please find statement
made in our looal papers. 1t Is alleged
by the soldiers of this place
that attended the reunion at Co
lumbus that you did not display the
stars and stripes at your residence, and
that it will lose you a great many votes.
One soldier (democratio) says the flags
were displayed every day, but taken in at
night. Please enlighten us as to the
facts. Yours truly, NJ d. SMITH.
Treasurer Democratic Committee.
The clipping enclosed stated that Judge
Thurman did not display the national
colors during the G. A. R. encampment,
and that his house was the only one in the
city not decorated.
Mr.. Allen W. Thurman replied as fol-
lows:
COLUMBUS, o., September 27.-To M. d.
Smith, esq, treasurer democratic state
committee, Farwell, Mioh.-Dear Sir:
Yours of the oath instant, inclosing clip
ping from your local paper and making
inquiry in regard to the statement that no
flags were displayed on fathers residence
during G. A. R. weeA, is received. The
story is untrue. Every day two large
flags were displayed at fathers house.
They were taken in at night. Besides this
our office building, which is situated on
the line of march of the G. A, R., was COM
pletely decorated from one end to the
other. Yours truly, A. W. THURMAN.

Ohio and Indiana Delegations Call Upor

Ohio and Indiana Delegations Call Upon
the General at His Home.
INDIANAPOLIS, September 26,-Ohio and
Indiana united to-day again, through their
delegations, in paying their respects to
General Harrison. There were nearly
5000 in all. Among the Ohio veterans was
Judge John A. Brigham, General Jno B
Wright j. E. Stickney, president of the
Veteran association; and Luther Hillyer,
of Columbus, aged 80, who knew General
VIM. Henry Harrison before his first no
mination. The Veteran Tippecanoe clubs
also accom- panied both Indiana
delegations, and during the
speaking it was announced that
with the Elkhart delegations
came John Whistler aged 88, who had
been a whig and republican all his life,
and had eight living sons, eighteen
grandsons and one great grandson-all
voters and all sharing ths old gentleman's
political convictions.
During the generals speech to these
delegations he referred to the surplus in
the treasury, and suggested that part of
it could be spent to good use in repaying
the direct tax which was levied on the
loyal states during the war; and in illus
tration of why he thought this tax ought
to be repaid he said: Suppose five men
are associated 10 business corporation
ha Z -
tai is impaired. An assessment becomes
necessary, and three members pay
their assessment while two do not. The
corporation is again prosperous, and there
is a surplus of money in the treasury.
What shall be done with it? Manifest
justice requires that the two delinquents
should pay up, or that there should be re
turned to the other three the assessment
levied upon them. bill providing for
the repayment of the tax was killed in
the house of representatives, not By vot-
ing it down, but by flibustering, major
ity of the house being in favor of its
passage, and those who defeated the bill
by those revolutionary tactics were
largely from states that had not paid
the tax. l mention these facts to show
that $20000000 of surplus now lying in
the banks where it draws no interest might
very righteously be used 80 as to greatly
Tighten the real burdens of taxation now
resting on the people-burdens that the
people know to be taxes without any
argument from our statesmen.
Chairman Huston, of the republican
committee, announced that Blaine will
arrive in Indiana on October 10, after
making his Michigan canvass. The fol-
lowing are Blaine's Indiana dates: At
Goshen, October 10; Indianapolis, Octo-
Der IL; Evansville, October 10; New
Albany, October Is, closing his canvass
at berbecue TO be held on the Tippe-

DOCTOR THoRNToN's PLEDGE.
YELLOW FEVER.

Memphis Raises Her Quarantine-The
Scourge Waning.
JACKSON, Miss, September 81. The
greatest indignation prevails throughout
the city on account of the treatment re-
ceived by Doctor Todd, health off ,er, and
Doctor Hunter, member of the board of
health, by a self-oons tituted quarantine
at Livingstone's crossing. The gentlemen
started Tuesday evening to 60 four miles
into the country to negotiate for the rent
of piece of land on which to establish
refugee camp. They were met by
State Auditor Stone and State Treasurer
W. L. Hemingway, in charge of an armed
posse, who positively refused to allow
them to proceed.
A meeting was held by the Livingston
crossing men, and one of them, promi-
nently spoken of as candid ate for guber-
material honors, Witnessed the meeting,
and advised resistance at the muzzle of
shotguns to the establishment of a camp
of refuge. AS consequence of the meet
ing the engine that we have here to meet
the train at our quarantine station above
the city, and which left here at 1890
o'clock a. nj. in charge of Engineer Red
mond, was tagged as it went out, and
when Re e1mond stepped from his cab he
was confronted by thirty-five armed men.
Engineer Redmond was informed that, if
he brought refugee train tomorrow, the
bridge would be burned and everyone on
board would be killed. Redmond replied
that he was working for the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad company, and had to obey
orders.
He continued: 81 have to come with
train. l am going to come, but recollect
have wife and two children to be sup
ported, and don't wish to be killed as
am their only support"
Owing to the intense feeling prevailing
throughout the country the health authori-
ties abandoned the idea of establishing
q refugee camp outside of quarantine
limits. 1t was established back of the fair
grounds, and DR.. M. N. Morgan placed in
charge.

THE AMERICAN WAY.

Railroad Contractors Skip With Money
Due Their Hands and Laborers.
NEW YORK, September ga Montreal
special says news reached that city, late
last night, of serious riot in the county
of Compton. The contractors on the
section of the Hereford Branch railway
drew a check for $25,OOO from the com
pany on account of construction, on Sat-
urday last, and left the country with the
proceeds.
They had in their employ over 700
Italian laborers, who had not been paid q
cent of wages since August l, and were in
destitute condition. As soon as the duped
foreigners learned of the departure of
their employers they became desperate,
and when yesterday morning the railroad
company attempted to resume the work
of construction they fatty refused to do q
stroke and at once began destroying all
they could lay their hands on. They
soon took possession of the village of
Sawyerville and threatened to destroy it
if they were not paid. A party of citi-
zens, with some Hungarisns employed by
the railway company, interfered to save
the railroad property, and desperate
fight followed. One Italian and four
Hungarians were killed, and it is reported
between thirty and forty injured.
The people are terror stricken and have
fed, leaving their houses and goods BE-
hind them. At last advices the Italians
we're pillaging the deserted houses. The
Fifty-eighth battalion left Sherbrooke
last evening by special train for the
scene of trouble, aud it is hoped their
presence will put an end to the disturb
snce. A quantity of ammunition will be
sent from the arsenal here early in the
morning.

Whitley was found, must not be supposed
to be train robber. His only offense Is
the harboring of the outlaws, for which he
is now under bond. He took no part in the
fight and was not arrested.
Bill Whitley was one of the most des
perate characters ever known in south
west Texas. He is known to have parti-
cipated in the McNeill and Fiatonia rob-
berries, and about one year ago waylaid
and murdered Deputy Sheriff Stanley, of
Williamson county. The Cisco bank rob-
berry is also charged to Whitley, as well as
countless stage hold-ups. He j. said to
have remarked on several occasions that
he would never be taken alive, and
his desperate struggle last night, when
there were but dozen breaths left, shows
that he was man of daring and foolhardy
courage. He had Winchester rifle, a six
shooter, six one dollars in money and a
silver watch and chain on his person at
death. He rode to Mr.. Harrell's a fine
horse, and in his saddle bags was found a
hatchet, probably for use in cutting
barbed wire fences.
Bill Whitley was raised in Dewitt
county, and at one time drove a stage
from Cuero to Goliad. His brother-in.
law, Mr.. Cox, lives at Lampasas, Tex;
bes 'des this little is known of his
family connections. Whitley had out
lived his day, ard, like others who pre-
ceded and men who are to follow him, he
went over the divide with his boots on,
for which the community at large have to
thank our courageous United States Mar
shal Rankin and his corps of brave
deputies.

The Scrape that a Festive Drummer Got

Special Telegram to the Statesman.
HoUsToN, September 26.-This morn
ing drummer named W. "a. Thornton
came in on tie Central train from Austin.
While coming down he got into CONVEX
sation with the sleeping car porter and
complained of not feeling very we'll. He
began to talk about yello fever and asked
the porter the symptoms. Upon being
told he claimed to be affected in that way.
This somewhat frightened the darkey
who at once told the conductor, John
Tockman, who, on attempting to find
where Thornton came from, failed, be-
cause the latter would give no one any
satisfaction. This made him an object
of suspicion and aversion. Conductor
Lockman Immediately upon reaching the
city limits telephoned City Health Officer
Mcdonnell, explaining the case by tele-
phone. The city health officer told him
10 set the car apart from the others and
keep the man in there until he could reach
the depot. Upon reaching there the
doctor went into the lonesome car, about
which no human beings focked, and ex-
amined the suspected party. He found
there We're no symptoms of fever, and
that the mans papers were all right, but
as there was something savory of great
joke in the matter the suspected
Thornton was arrested and taken
down to the calaboose or police
station, where Mayor Smith heard the
evidence and not being able to make a
charge within the purview of the law
turned him over to Assistant State
Health Officer John Gray, with the infor-
nation that Thornton would not be al
lowed to remain in the city. He was at
once sent outside the city limits, where he
will be guarded. A telegram was sent to
State Health Officer Rutherford stating
the case and asking for instructions. This
afternoon reply came to take the
joker to the quarantine station at
Sabine river, and he was sent there on the
5 O'Clock train under the guard of an
officer. 1t is evident that Thornton, who
is a jewelry drummer for a northern
house, was only perpetrating joke on
the Pullman porter, but it is the wrong
season of the year for yellow fever jokes
in this locality. He even went SO far as
to tell the porter what disposition to
make of his body in case he died before
reaching Houston.
