Husband and Wife Found Dead.

CHICAGO. July 3L-A horrible double tragedy
was brought to light shortly after midnight by
the police. when the dead bodies of Henry
Heesh. a retired saloon-keeper and his wife,
were found in their apartments at No. $50 South
Sangsmon street. Both were we'll past middle
age, and were looked upon by their neighbors as
a happy couple. They were last seen on Satur-
day evening. sitting on the front stoop. Sunday
morning the newsboy left the paper and the
milk man the days supply of milk. Lying neg
lected at the back door of the fat. these objects
first attracted tho attention of the neiehbors.
Late last night one Of the neighbors notified the
police, and two officers were sent to investigate.
They broke open the front bed room door and a
sickening sight met their view. In the alcove
OF the bed room, lying in a pool of blood, lay
the body OF Mrs. Heesh, clad in a night dress.
Proceeding 10 the next room. the officers per-
ceived a rope tied over the top Of the door frame.
A vigorous push at the door and it burst open.
and the officer was nearlv knocked off his feet
b. the body of Heesh. which was hanging sus-
pended. the feet almost touching the floor. No
reason can be assigned for the tragedy.

Carses of the Goodness Now Prevailing Be-
tween These Great Men.
Special to the Indianapolis JourDs.
WASHINGTON. July 3L-A gentleman who has
business at the Pension Office says he has run
against j. Milton Turner. the colored man who
was sent by the administration to indianapolis
to lead the colored mems convention for q d-
vision Of the colored vote, almost every time he
has gone TO the pension building during the
past six weeks. aud that many of the plans car
ried out in the Indianapolis convention were
originated by Commissioners Black. General
Black" says this gentleman, sis extremely
anxious TO make himself solid with President
Cleveland, and he conceived the idea of turning
his abilities toward an organization of the col
ored men with o view to dividing the colored
vote at the polls in November. The President
is very much incensed at some of the acts of
General Black during the past six or eight
months. and has marked him for
decapitation. To begin with, the
President was greatly provoked at
Blacks persistsncy in running for the vice.
presidential nomination. and then Black has
m1sied the chief executive in furnishing pen
sion vetoes. You know nearly every one OF the
pension vetoes was written in the Pension Of
fee by clerks designated for the purpose. and
the instructions of the President we're to the ef-
feet that the facts pointed out in the vetoes
shcnld indeed be facts without any possible
Speculation, and thar the reasons given in the
vstoes for disapproval should be entirely differ
ext from those assigned when the cases were
ORIGINALLY rejected by the Pension Office. The
President has found that these instructions, in
many instances, were disregarded, and that false
and prejudice havelargely governed
the clarks who have written the voices, and
that. in many instances, almost the Identical
language used when the cases were rejected
his been employed in the vetoes. This put
the President in an EN- 5arrassing situation, and
will lead him to further condemnation when this
pension veto business is thoroughly looked into.
In the first place" continued the gentleman,
''she President thinks General Black is too am
titious; ard In the second place. he says be is
too reckless and partisan. General Black has
been run ming q regular political bureau for two
or three years, and has made no secret of the
Ect Nearly all of the civil-service scandals
which have come out against the present admin
filtration can be laid at the door Of the Commits
sioner OF Pensions, whom tho President holds
oiameworthy for nearly all of his political evils.
l. ma not be true that the President has, as re-
ported. requested General Blacks resignation.
but l think that the President may just as well
fave asked for the Commissioners resignation
as to have sat down upon him as hard as no has
u pom four or five occasions recently"

Work in Plain Language.
WASHINGTON. July 3L.-In yesterdays debate
on the proposition Of Dir. Bowen to appropriate
$4,000 for investigating tho extent to which
the arid region of the United States can be re-
deemed by irrigation, Senator Plumb said:
There is no doubt about The fruitfulness of that
soil; there is no doubt that. supplied with water,
it would yield bountifully. That We all know.
and even il We had the report certainly We
should not learn anything of that kind that We
ion't know now of the result of this experiment.
I know the fertile brains Of these gentlemen,
and I suppose the chief Of the geological sur
vey wants another Job. We shall hear all about
it on the finest letter press; there will
be the finest pictures the mind OF man
ever conceived of or the photographers art ever
Roiucei as the resui, of it; there will bs end
lss5 volumes and cart loads OF books, l ms.
say. about it. and there will be employment for
ConRressmens sons and relatives and friends.
The geological survey is the lying in hospital of
the government. 1t never Yet refused employ
menr to a single relative of a Congressman or to
anyone who is supposed to be influential in re-
gard TO obtaining appropriations, and the appro-
priations they ask for are never refused, and,
with one exception, 1t is the only appropriation
made in the precise terms requested and never
diminished In either house OF Congress. /
venture to say, for whatever it may be worth.
that the money that has been expended
by the geological survey, as a

course, a great deal about ethnology, about the
disappearing races on the American continent.
q large portion Of which, in my belief has been
pure invention, as absolutely the work of
the brain of man, without the basis of fact, as
the tales Of Munchausen."
Senator Stewart defended the director of tho
geological bureau, and said he was competent.
energetic and enthusiastic. The scheme did not
originate in the brain of Major Powell; it origi-
mated with the Senators from Colorado and him

tended to excite them. Captain Lee then re-
