Miss Sanger was born at Watertown, a suburb of Boston. When she was @ baby 2years old her parents moved to Indian apolis, and she has resided there ever since until last December. During the twelve years she went to school she waa never tardy and was never absent a day. After graduating she commenced the study of shorthand and became the prt- vate secretary of E. T. Gilliland, the electrician, now of New York and later the private secretary of w. D. Foulke, of Richmond, Ind, the civil service re- former. When Gen. Harrison resumed the practice of law, after his senatorial term had expired, Miss Sanger the sanse day began work as the stenographer of his law firm, Harrison, Miller .S Elan.
 As soon as Gen. Harrison was nomin- ated Miss Sanger went to the presidents 8 house. where she remained as Stenog- rapher until about last Christmas, when she went to Europe for rest with her uncle, H. M. Britton, general manager of the Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg rail- road, of New York, and his family. All last summer Miss Sanger was the only stenographer employed at Harrison's s home, and part of the time she was the secretary as well. Miss Sanger Is related to Gen. N. P. Banks and Elias Howe
 Hadjt Hassein Ghooly Khan, envoy extraordinary and minister plenipoten- tiary from Persia, Is one of the favorites in Washington society, is very fond .of going out and calling on the ladies and Is always most hospitably received wherever he goes. That is almost al- ways, for an experience he had last Sum- day afternoon proved that he was not as cordially received at one house as has been his wont in the past Ghooly Khan started out with the purpose of making round of calls. It Is his custom to pay his respects to the ladies of the fashionable world on Sunday the same as on week days. Sunday being an ex- tremely pleasant day, his landau was not brought Into use. He walked from his residence on M street to Massachusetts avenue, In the neighborhood of Four teenth street, where the objects of his first call resided. Walking up the stone steps in an indolent fashion, he reached the door and rather tlmidly touched the electric bell, After lingering some mo- ments the servant appeared and before Ghooly Khan could utter word, she shouted out "the ladies are all busy and cannot be bothered With you now"
 Well, said the minister completely nonplussed, "there must be mistake 1; take in my card"
 "Ohl don't worry them now," an- swe1ed the servant, not allowing him to finish his sentence. "They are all about

THE HORRORS OF WAR.

Two Men Positively Known to Have Been
Killed in the Haytian Bombardment.
NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-The steamer Alvo, of
the Atlas line, which arrived from Hayti
last night. brings Haytfan news. The AIvo
arrived at Port-au-Prince at 6P. NJ, July
26. When the steamer came to anchor
the noise of Hippolyte's cannon could be
distinctly heard firing at the town. The
attacking force was at the west of the place,
maD-of-war Osslpee lay in the harbor off
POrt-au-Prince, and near her was anchored
an English and Spanish man-Of-war. A
tug-bOat named the Panama was there too
She carried a few heavy guns. and was in
Legitime's service. During the afternoon
of the 26th of July the Panama was ordered
around to where she could attack Hippo
lyte's bombarding party on the right flank.
As soon as the little tug got within firing
distance she began to blaze away, and kept
it up until darkness set In. The lombard
ing by Hippolytes forces was kept up all
night. The AIvo left next morning. Legit-

SHORT In HIS ACCOUNTS.
Young William Denny. Assistant Postmaster
at BOOnyille, Has Fled the Country.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.


EVANSVILLE, Ind, Aug. 9-The little city
of Boonville, Ind, is in q state of excite
ment to-day over the disappearance of AS
sistant Postmaster William Z. Denny and
the discovery by pOstoffice inspector that
young Denny was several thousand dollars
short in his accounts. Denny, it seems, has
been reckless and extravagant in his ex-
pendituTes and manner of living for several
months, SO much so that considerable talk
and speculation has been INDUCED in
as to the final outcome of his fast
life. He had mania for gambling,
and was willing to bet on anything,
and the bulk of the money is believed to
have been disposed of in this manner. He
is known to have lost several hundred dol
lars at one sitting in this city. 1t has been
several months since he sent in a report of
the financial standing of his office. The
landlord of the st. Charles Hotel, where he
boarded. says he has been very attentive
to the hotel register of late, perusing it ex-
pressly to note the arrivals. Yesterday
morning Inspector King. of the postal
service, arrived In the city for the purpose
mans books. Denny had been expecting
Mr.. King, and when he saw his name on
the register yesterday he immediately
made arrangements and left the city. 1t is
thought he went to Huntingburg, and from
vile, possibly leaving on the midnight train
for Chicago or ST. Louis. At first it was
thought that the shortage would only
reach 5000, but it has since been ascer-
tanned that il will be much more. On the
first three pages of his cash-bOOk, Inspector
King found $1,000 missing. In footing up
the total in three instances, he dropped
81 600 In each case. Where the total was
S1,72O, he placed it at S72O, and only carried
this amount forward. After making these
discoveries Inspector King boarded train
and came to this city. where he expected to
learn something of his whereabouts. 1t
will probably take three or four
days to ascertain the exact amount miss
ing, as he has not written up his cash
account since April. 1t was learned this
morning that Denny was short about ten
months ago, and that his friends offered to
make good the amount at that time if he
would resign his position. He refused to
do this and In some manner secured the
necessary amount to help him out of the
difficulty. 1t was also learned that Denny
has been studying railroad maps and con-
nections of different lines for six months
past. Denny was bright young man, and
man of excellent family connections. He
was jovial, lively and big-hearted fellow,
and has many friends and acQuaintances.
He is a nephew of Mayor Denny, of Indian
apolis.

WASHINGTON, Aug S.-Several attempts
were made by newspaper men to-day to see
some one in authority, SO as to ascertain
whether the report that ex-Attorney-g gem
eral Garland has been rendered the posi-
tiOn of special counsel for one of the great
Pacific railway companies, is true or not.
but the rumor could not be run down. 1t
is learned, however, that the Union Pacific
has for some time exhibited symptoms of
dissatisfaction with its representative In
this city, and that several months ago a
change was decided upon. Ex-Attorney.
general Garland, the story goes, has been
offered this position at salary OF $4,000 q
year. He will be, if he accepts, located in
Washington, and his business will be that
of a railroad attorney, whose principal
duty it is to prevent unfavorable legisla-
tion towards the road employing him. The
current opinion here among the Attorney
generals friends is that the story that he
has been offered the place Is true.
