A SOLDIER in Disgrace.

The Madison. Indiana, Courier Of De-

"On information and complaint filed
by Mr.. Win. Mosser. OF this city
against Captain Theodore Kendall, the
latter was arrested In Dayton, Ohio
yesterday, and held for requisition on
tbs charge OF obtaining money from
Mr.. Mosser under false pretenses. A
despatch received from Dayton offi-
Ger stated that Kendall was In Jail and
ready to come without reuuisitiOn
or would settle there.
The Sheriff of this county left on
the morning trnin for Dayton, and will
probably arrive In Madison with his
prisoner tomorrow morning. Captain
Kendall first came here "a year or so
ago, and made himself quite promi-
melt 0s Grand Army man. He took
conspicuous part In the last memo
rial day exercises, when he read All al
legged original poem. He boarded for
. while at the st. Nicholas Hotel, OF
which MIR. Nosser Is proprietor.
Captain Kendall Is we'll remem bered
IN this city, where he was also promi-
hent as Grand Army man. no as a
vocal singer and his wife as a banjolst.
He came here from New York, about
two years ago, and left about year
ago leaving quite Il number OF credi-
tors behind him, amongst whom is
Mr., j. j.. French, tobacconist, on Third
street near Market. He is a member
Nf one of the Grand Army posts OF

exercises of the NJ. II. Sunday school
In the church on Christmas Eve.
1t has never failed to excite interest
in the community. Then on Christ
mas morn our llrst.class shooters will
indulge In friendly match at clay
pigeons. In the afternoon, when every
one has enjoyed their suInptuous
feast, fox hunt is expected to take

Tho coiored Free Masons OF this
town are very indignant over the ac-
tion OF three colored women who also
reside here. One of tho Mas0ns gives
the following account OF the occur
renee. He says: "Quite recently we
concluded to give IL supper in the Hall
and committee Of three were Rp-
apI o.nted to carry ont the project
That committee engaged the sisters
In CHARITY to help them in collecting
and arranging the supper. When tho
appointed time for tho supper came,
these three women walked into the
Hail, took charge. ordered the Sisters
tn Charity out and controlled every
thing TO suit themselves No action
was taken by the. .Masons at that time,
as they did not want to create any dis
order before the visitors, but they have
not concealed their displensure at the
conduct OF these bold women for their
contemptible actions. Other mnmbers
are muttoring loudly their contempt
OF tho women, and trouble may occar.
