The Sheriff aud his deputies are
busilY engaged in the collection of the
poll tax, and much larger revenue
will be derived from that source this
year than ever before. A consldera-
BILE amount haa been collected already.
The law enacted by the legislature last
year making tax collectors personally
liable for uncollected poll taxes will
doubtless insure much closer oollec-
tion Of that tax in this state than ever
before. The collection Of other taxes
is also progressing quite briskly.

tract for seven guns for coast defense was

walton, and depression by either pneu-
matte or hydraulic power, and have
an extreme elevation of at least
thirty-hve degrees. They must be ca
pable of an all around fire. or through
$50 degrees, the training and elevating
to be wholly under the control OF

being a mile. Rapidity of fire is also cnl'e
for, being u requirement not demanded in
the recent tests of the stationary gun. The

AN UNGRATEFUL THIEF.
Sullivan Much Worse Than He Has
Been Painted.
He Appropriates Funds Contributed Tor
tho Benefit of tho Wife of His Un-
fortunate Friend, Sim Coy, and
Sells His Home While
He is in Prison.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Feb. IA develop
ment to-day in the Sullivan defalcation
has aroused the anger of every Democrat
in the city, and of every one else who de-
tests ingratitude as heartily as he does
crime. When Sim Coy was convicted OF
the taliy-sheet forgeries and sent to
prison, his friends arranged for
ball in order to give his wife sup
port in his absence. Hundreds bought
tickets from charitable sentiments, and
hardly q town in the State failed to
sell some. The money realized aggregated
about 81 800, and as Sullivan was prime
mover in tho matter it was turned over to
him. Mrs. Coy was questioned about the
money to-day and stated emphatically
that she had never gotten cent of 1t. She
knew the ball had been given, but she felt
delicacy in asking any thing about the
proceeds and Sullivan said nothing to her.
In looking up the matter it also developed
that when Coy was convicted he owed
Sullivan $500 for money advanced
to bear the expenses of the trial,
and in order to secure his creditor, Coy
decided his home to Sullivan, with the un-
derstanding that on the expiration of his
IMPRISONMENT it was to be decided back to
him. A few weeks ago Sullivan sold the
property and received in payment the
farm and two notes. The notes he cashed
as soon as possible. In order to avoid ex-
posure he explained to the purchaser that
he did not want Mrs. Coy disturbed until
her husband was liberated, and in order to
insure this that he himself would pay the
rent for her until that time without her
knowledge. Mrs. Coy did not know of the
sale of the property till she saw the sale
reported in the newspapers.
