lose his left arm. His assailant was burly
black negro, who IS supposed to live in that
neighborhood. Sunday evening Private
Morgan was returning from short leave OF
absence which he had obtained TO pay
visit 10 his wife, whom he married about
month ago, AID who lives fourteen miles
from Fort Mcpherson. His father-in-law
they separated, and the soldier started in
a brisk walk for the barracks 80 as
to get there on time. just about mile below
the barracks, near the residence OF DIR.
kuott, he had occasion to pass through
q httlo skirt of woods, and as he emerged
from the thicset and stopped into the road,
be vas accosted by a negro who was stand
ing in the road. ''Haltln cried the negro.
Halt for wharf replied the soldier. "For
this, - you'll" answered the rufiian, d
leveling a pistol he fired. The soldier drew
his pistol and returned the fire. Another
s1o5 rang out from the Negroes weapon, and
Private Morgan returned the shot, "Oh,
Lordyl Oh, Lordy" cried the negro,
running off as fast as he could 60 Alarmed
by the firing and the cries Of the
negro, DIR. Fuss, who lives near the scsae
of the shooting, ran out to investigate it.
Whats the ma terF asked Mr.. Fuss when
he discovered the soldier. "1e's got me"
answered Private Morgan, holding out his
left arm from which tie blood nas flowing
freely. An investigation of the arm showed
that both balls had taken effect, one in the
left hand, passing entirely through it be-
tween the upper bones of the
second aud third fingers. The other
was still more serious, and passed
through the left arm just below the elbow,
making terrible wound. Mr.. Fuss got his
dogs aud went to track the negro. They
followed the trail short distance, but gave
it up, not being trained to that sort Of
work. The wounded man was taken to this
hospital, where his wounds were dressed by
the regimental surgeon. There is a posi-
biltty that he may lose the arm, and In case
amputation is not necessary, the arm will
be seriously injured by the flesh wounds.

DEFECTIVE LAW-MAKlNG.
Results that Will Follow Defeat of a Consti-
tutiOnal Amendment in Michigan.

DETROIT, Mich, March ga serious
state of affairs will exist in Michigan after
the election If the proposed constitutional
amendment does not carry. The Constitu-
tion of 1850 provided that all corporations
save railroads and canals should not be
created for a longer term than thirty years.
The Supreme Court has held that after
thirty years all assets should be dead and
the proceeds divided among the stockhold-
ers. Therefore a law providing reorganiza-
for another thirty years would be uncOnsti-
tutional. Under the present Constitution
there is no direct method for continuing
corporations after the thirty years have ex-
pred. This result applies to colleges
schools hospitals churches, masonic and
all secret societies; also, to insurance conf
panies, as well as mere business corpora
tions. 1t is obvious that churches and col
leges cannot sell their assets, nor can any
charitable institution; no one is entitled to
them. All great business corporations
would suffer incalculable loss. The pro-
posed amendment undertakes to cure these
difficulties by providing that all corpora
tiOns where stock is involved may be re-
newed by vote of the stockholders. When
there is no stock. special legislation is the
remedy. If the amendment does not pass
it IS impossible to say what will become of
the church and school organizations, to say
nothing of the great manufacturing corpor-
atiOns. The church people are especially
anxious for its passage for their OrganiZa-
tions are otherwise practically illegal and

ST. LOUIS POLITICS.
Both Parties Deeply Interested in the Result
of the Coming City Election.

ST. LOUIS, March 28.-The political situa-
ton here is at high tension and much Bit
terness has been engendered in both of the
great parties. The Republicans have nom-
mated Col. James G. Butler for Mayor, and
his opponent in the convention, d. ii. Slat-
tery, publicly avows that he was slaugh-
tered by the freeuse of Doodle. Mr.. Slattery
threatened to run Independently, but was
finally prevailed upon to not thus imperil
party success. The Republican city CEN
trail committee is made up largely of Slat-
terry men, and to-day. when Colonel Butler
was called upon to pay over to the commit
tee an assessment of $1,000. he declined TO
comply unless he knew how the money was
to be used. Thereupon the members of the
off the ticket and substitute another
candidate, which, it is claimed, will
be done unless Colonel Butler pays over
his assessment. The feeling is heightened
By an evening Republican paper tonight
boiling the nominee for Mayor and coming
out for the Democratic candidate. The
Democrats are no better off. After bitter
personal contest between George w. Allen,
the present Mayor of st. Louis, and Judge
NOonan, of the Court of Criminal Correc-
ton. the latter was nominated for the
mayoralty. A leading morning Democratic
paper had bitterly opposed the nomination
of NOonan. on the ground that he was the
alleged champion of the saloon element,
and freely predicted his defeat If nomi-
mated. Messages from Washington, ID. c.,
to party leaders, say the election in ST.
Louis is regarded there with much sOlici-
November election, when the Republicans
piled up majority of over ten thousand,
and an exciting time is looked for at the
polls next Tuesday.

MYSTERY ABOUT A MURDER.
The Crime Thought to Have Been Committed
to Defraud an Insurance Company.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
MUNCIE, March 26.-The killing of the
man who was supposed to have been Harry
F. Bateman, of Fostoria, O.. by the cars,
yesterday morning, is still mystery.
There is now no remaining doubt chat a
terrible murder has been committed, and
that Bateman is the person who
did the killing, and then placed the body
on the railroad track in order to cover up
his crime. There are two conclusions, or
rather theories, why he did this. One was
that he was lieutenant in the regular
army and had deserted, and, fearing capture
by government officers. murdered this man
to throw off suspicion. The other is that
he carried a large amount of insurance on
his life, and to obtain this he expected,
after committing the murder, and placing
the body on the track, thinking it would
wife could not identify the corpse and
therefore would receive the insurance
money.
Mrs. Bateman arrived in Fostoria this
morning, accompanied by her mother and
after examining the corpse declared most
positively that 1T was not that of her hus-
band. Her mother was equally as positive
that the remains were not Harry +. Bateman.
Mrs. Bateman saw no resemblance to her
husband III the remains, the hands inside

were her husbands. Strenuous efforts are
being made to identify the body.
1t is settled fact that Bateman was in
Muncie Tuesday, as he has been identified
by his photograph by several persons who
saw him on that day. His wife claims she
was written in this city, and was dated
Tuesday, March 26.
The man murdered was about five feet
seven inches high, light complexion, black
hair, hazel eyes, thin, light mustache,
and had small scar on his chin, and
was about thirty-five years old. He
wore dark clothing, a soft hat and
his feet were encased in q pair of

OPPOSING HALSTEAD.
Five Republican Senators Decline 10 Vote for
His Confirmation.

Five Republican Senators Decline 10 Vote for
His Confirmation.
WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The Senate, in
secret session to-day. discussed the nomina-
tion of Murat Halstead to be minister to
Germany. The nomination was hotly de-
bated. the criticism of Mr.. Halstead coming
principally from the Republican side of the
chamber. The principal cause of grievance
against Mr.. Halstead was his criticism of
the course of certain Republican Senators :
during the investigation of the election of
Senator Payne. The criticisms of Mr..
Halstead were quoted from file of the Gin
cinnati Commercial Gazette In the Senate
chamber this afternoon by Republican Sem
ators. Senator Sherman defended Mr.. Hal
stead, while Senators Ingalls, and Teller led
the attack upon him. A vote on the nomi-
nation resulted in its rejection, the Demo-
Gratis voting solidly against it, and the
votes of Senators ingalls,, Pumb, Cullom,
Farwell and Teller being recorded in the
negative also. When it was evident that
the nomination would be rejected. Senator
Sherman changed his vote from affirmative
to negative that he might be in position
to enter a motion for reconsideration. That
motion was entered, and was pending when
the Senate adjourned. Mr.. Halsteads
friends will rally to his support tomorrow,
and endeavor to obtain a reversal of to-
days Judgment. Senators Beck and Black
burn are quoted this evening assaying they
will vote for Mr.. Halssead tomorrow. A
Republican Senator stated, this evening,
that if the nomination was not withdrawn
it would berejected. Mr.. Halstead's friends
say it will not be withdrawn.
The result of the vote on the nomination
surprised Mr.. Sherman, the chairman ofthe
committee which reported it favOrably. 1t
is said that he demanded an explanation Of
the votes of Republican Senators, threaten
ing that if the nomination was rejected
without cause he would oppose the confir-
nation of every other nomination that
came before the Senate. A motion to lay on
the table Mr. Sherman's motion to recon-
slider was withdrawn on this appeal. and
the debate on the nomination then ensued,
Senators speaking to the motion of Mr..
Sherman. The exact vote is said to have
been 26 to Is, a number of Republican Sem
atOrs withholding their votes and only
enough voting to make the desiredQuorum.

Found with Her Throat Cut.

CHICAGO, March 2S.-Mrs. Mary Short, a
white woman, residing at sc Fourth av-
last night, with her throat cut from ear to
ear. 1t was at first believed that Mrs.
Short had taken her own life, but later de-
velopments have caused the police to think
that her husband, John Short, n colored
waiter, may have murdered the woman,
and he has been locked up. The neighbors
claim that the couple have quarreled fre-
quently of late. Mrs. Short, who was q
Norwegian by birth and but twenty-seven
years of age had recently fallen heir to
some money through the death of relative
in the old country, and had been desirous
of returning to Norway to take possession
of the property. This her husband objected
to her doing, fearing that if she left him
she would not return. Short claims that
