Failing to List. Costs $1,000.

CRAwFoRDsvILLE, Feb. 1S.-The State of
Indiana VS.. W. H. Durham, in two cases,
was tried bsfors Judge Snyder this morn
ing. Mr.. Durham was indicted for with
holding personal property consisting Of
money on hand from the Assessor, amount
irg to $4,000. The case was submitted
20 the court for trial on an agre ed state
ment Of the facts, and the court found the
defendant guilty in both cases, holding
him to be guilty of technical violation
of the law, Notwithstanding the claim
asserted by him that the property with
held consisted of money on deposit in the
First National Bank of this city, which
was to be repaid to him in greenbscks,
which are not taxable.
There were also two civil suits brought
on the relation of Prosecutor Anderson to
recover the penalty provided in such cases.
The whole con trOYersy on all the cases was
whether or not the property in contro.
versy was subject 10 taxation. Mr.. Oar
ham ch9eTfully acquiesced in the decision
of Judge Snyder, and has promptly paid
up the penalty assessed, amounting to
IS, SEQ. This $500 is the penalty for
failure to list the properly, besides which
Mr.. Durham will be compelled TO pay the
taxes on the money for the number of
yesrs it has been omitted. The statute
makes it the duty of the Auditor TO place
this 2on the tax duolicaie, after which
the Treasurer is to collecti as other taxes.
1t will probably cost Mr.. Durham al addi-
tional sum of between s., 200 and So 600, as
he has had this $3.50 600 on deposit for the
past five years, and six per cent. interest
on Ii for that time.

BLAINE7S LETTER,

Senator Hiscock Becomes an Important
Factor in the FiGht-DemOcrats' View,
WASHINGTON, February l5.-While these
Western booms are being started, 3 remark
dropped in private conversation by Mr..
William Walter Phelps has opened the
ears of the Sherman, Allison and Cullom
men with a snap, and caused the Hawley
contingent from the East 10 raise its ears
in astonishment. Mr.. Phelps is quoted as
saying to Southern man who asked his
opinion about the meaning of Blaine's let
ter and its probable effect in the advance
ment Of other candidates, that it was
altogether probable that Senator Hiscock,
of New York, would become the Iegstee of
Blaine, ard that he would 60 into the
national convention with New York, New
Jersey and all the other Eastern aud Mid
die States, except Connecticut, behind
him.
1t looks as if the result of the publica-
tion of Blaines letter would be to encour-
age all the sspirsnts for the Presidency to
make heroic efforts to enlarge their
respective followings. If the dele
vention for a dozen candidates, then
perhaps, under the inspiration of the
Kansas and California hurrah, the
Name mans friends will break for
Blaine and nominate him by acclsmstion
on the first ballot. Ali of his friends agree
that he would not refuse a nomination
under these circumstances.
This report has made Mr.. Hiscock an i'm
portant factor in politics. III he was aware
of any plan on the part OF the Blaine men
to take him up instead Of the Maine
knight, ii would account for his modesty
and reticeDce when asked by correspond
ents to saw what he thought Mr.. Blaine
meant by his letter. But Mr.. Hiscook' S
chances for a nomination are certainly not
smaller than were those of Garfield seven
years ago. Many Republicans regard him
as a man whom they could support quits
as cordially as they supported Garfield,
There is q growing impression here among
men who are not well acquainted With
the feeling OF the Empire State that His
cock would prove an extremely popular
candidate.

sees the handwriting on the wall. He
sees the mugwumps waiting for him with
a stuffed club, and, knowing he cannot
carry New York, nor be elected without
that State, he acts upon. discretion as the
better part of valor, and will take the alter.
native OF becoming the power behind the
Allison throne. He will dictate the nomi-
nation, giving it to Allison and again be-
come Secretary of State If the Republicans
are successful" Mr.. McHenry also said
that he would vote for st. Louis as the
place to hold the convention. San Francis
CO was too far of. New York, he thought,
wcald make no fight for it, the State hav'
ing no representative on the committee.

of Kallenbecks shoes. The goods taken
from Lorenze's pocket have been found in

prove sn alibi is exceedingly lame. The
authorities say there is no question of his
guilt. The excitement at Huntington is
