D- Rev. E. A. Yates stated last Sunday
that. after considering the matter, he did
not feel that he should leave his charge
for as long time as would be required
for trip to Europe, and therefore he
would decline the very kind offer Of his
congregation to send him as delegate to
the Worlds Sunday School Convention,
at London. He appreciated the offer
more than words can express, and will
never forget the kindness shown him.
Many of the Doctors congregation are
very sorry that he will not realize the
very great pleasure which a trip across
the waters would afford him. They
regret also that they will be deprived of
benefits which they had hoped to receive
from their pastors trip, knowing that he
would give them results cf whatever. ex-
perlence he might acquire, during his
absence. Duty and not personal pleasure,
however, rs this good mans standard of
action, and be feels that his conclusion 10

THE "JAYBIRDS" VICTORIOUS.
One of Their Number Selected Sheriff-"W

RICHMOND, Tex, Aug. Ex-Governor Ross

left here tonight for Austin. They regard
the trouble now as settled by the course of
the "Woodpeckers," in whose ranks were
the county officers in yielding their choice
for sheriff, and accepting second choice
that of the aybirds'-Sergeant Ira Aten
of the Rangers. In caucus. tonight, that
lasted five hours, they finally came to this
agreement, and, this forenoon. when the
commissioners met, he was appointed. His
bond was made by the "Jaybirds," and is
good for 81 100000, though $4,000 is the re-
quired amount. The "Jaybirds" could
make the bond. but not the appointment,
and the wv Woodpeckers" the appointment,
but not the bond.
The new sheriff has taken charge of the
Gibson boys, and will hold them until the
preliminary trial, fixed for next Monday,
takes place. They are charged with assault
with intent to murder, being in the fight
with Parker, Wade and Robinson, on Fri
day. Sheriff Aten has selected two depu-
ties. one from Williamson county and the
other from Burnett. Both have been sher-
IFS. and are fine officers. The people now
have confidence in the administration be-
ing able to keep the peace and order. The
county judge will resign his position in a
few days, and leave the county. Other
prominent "wookpeckers" will do the same
thing. and claim that they do it for the
safety of their lives. One Of the county
commissioners will resign tomorrow, and

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Aug 20.-Assistant Post
master-general Clarkson to-day appointed
14s fourth-class postmasters, and author
lied the appointment of seventy -four letter
carriers. The latter will be employed in
twenty cities in which Mr.. Clarkson, act

tablished. Under the new law which au-
thorizes the establishment of the carriers
service in cities where the population
reaches ten thousand or where the
gross receipts of the postoffice
are $4,000 per annum, it Is expected that
there will be about two hundred new towns
supplied with letter-carriers within the
next two years. There are many already
possessing the requisites in this respect. in
which the service would be established at
once but for the fact that Congress never
consents to appropriate sum sufficient to
carry out the recommendations of the
Postmaster general, so that, while comply
ing in all respects with the laws and the
regulations of the department, the towns
are deprived of their rights through the
niggardliness of the men in Congress who

Failure Of the Government to Secure Bids for

WASHINGTON. Aug. 20.-The Ordnance
Bureau has brought the attention of the
Secretary of War to the failure of manu-
facturers to respond to the advertisement
inviting proposals for the construction of

the belief in the bureau that the failure to

this, however, for two reasons. In the first

SEARCHING FOR RELATIVES.
Andrew McDonald's Fruitless Endeavor to
Find His Father, Sister and Brother.

NEW YORK, Aug 20.-To-day Andrew Nc
Donald. a well-tO-do citizen of Frankfort,
Pa, and the superintendent of the Friends
Asylum for the Insane at that place, called
at the police headquarters in search of his
father, a sister and brother. The story
told by him was one of decidedly roman
tic nature. In 1867, his father, Owen, his
mother, two sisters and two brothers, came
to this city. Times were hard then with
the Mcdonald family, and on May 2 of that
year Andrew, who was SIX years old, his
brother Edward, aged nine, and his sister
Mary, still younger, were found wandering
on Mulberry street without friends or
home. They were pic red up by the police
and sent to RandalPs island. Eleven days
afterwards. Andrew and Edward were
taken by the Children's Aid Society and
put on farm in Greenville. Darke county,
Ohio. There they remained until twenty
one years of age. They had managed TO
save small sum of money during their ap-
premiership. and shortly afterwards bought
a farm, which is cared for by Edward. A
few years ago Andrew began search for
his missing relatives and discovered one of
his sisters living in Baltimore. married to
Chris Rhein. From her he learned
of the death of his mother of
broken heart, because of the loss of the
children. Their father was still alive IN
New York, as was their brother Patrick,
who had married. but she could give no
clew to the locality of their residences.
She said that when their mother learned
that her boys had been taken away by the
Children's Aid Society, she made every eff
fort to find their whereab bouts, but the Off
GERS of the society declined to give them
any information. When Andrew asked his
sister as to the whereabouts of their sis
ter Mary, she said that the little one had
been taken from Randalps island and had
been placed with the Catholic sisters. In
1884, according to the narrator's story, she
sent lady friend Of hers to the home Of
the Good Shepherd to learn if any trace of
the lost one could be had. There she was
told that Mary was there. but could not be
seen, as she was in retirement. To-day
when Andrew called at the institution the
mother superior informed him that his
sister had left the institution in 1875. This
was in direct contradiction of the story
told the lady who visited the place in 1884.
Mr.. Mcdonald will continue the search for
his relatives
