FILING COMPLAINTS
In the Gervmandered Districts Of lH'
diana.

ISpI,NAroLis, Ind. Sept. 29.-Attorneys
on the Republican side of the gerrymander
suits are filing complaints in each Of the
districts complained of as inequitably and
unconstitutionally apportioned. There will
be thirty such suits. exact duplicates of the
one decided at Newcastle by Judge Bundy.
The suits are not to be heard before the
supreme court passes on the appeal from
Newcastle. II is believed that the supreme
court will sustain Judge Bundy. The OBJ
ject in filing all these suits is to be ready to
take judgments in all the districts affected
as soon as the supreme court hands down
its decision. In other words. the object in
filing 50 many suits is to expedite matters.
There is general belief that expedition
is essential to reach decision in time for
the election. The supreme court will not
convene until next Tuesday. motion
will then be made to advance the case on
the calendar A decision is not expected
from the supreme court before October 10
or 30. After that date the Republicans
have to nominate candidates for joint sena-
tor and joint representative all over the
state. As a result the Legislative campaign
will be the shortest ever held in the state.
The Democrats have nominated nearly
all their candidates for the Legislature,
and are going ahead with their campaign
without reference to the suits brought by
the Republicans.

NE DIED A eEGGAR.
Strange Career Of Young Mexican Born to
Wealth and influence.

CRY OF MEXICO, Sept. 29.-The death
of Leopoldo Arroyo. one of the most noto-
rions beggars of this city, ends a remark
able career. His father was Gen. Heraldo
Arroyo, one of the favorites of Don An
tonic Lopez de Santa Anna, the dictator.
The general lived in opulence and his son
received all the advantages of good edu-
cation. When about 81 years old Leopodo
became enamored of the daughter of rich
landed proprietor in the PlaZuela de Buena
Vista. The latter bitterly opposed the union
of his laughter with Laopoldo.
But the lovers were obstinate, and to pre-
vent the marriage the girls father placed
her in the Convent of Beleur. Leopoldo,
al led by his fathers influence. succeeded
in abducting his sweetheart from the con
vent. lie forged an order on the proper
authorities, dressed his servants as police,
and carried away the girl hiding her in a
secret chamber of his fathers house. The
girls father finally consented to the mar
riage, but gave the couple his curse instead
of hi blessing.
From the day of his marriage all manner
of msfortunes rained down upon I.eOpoldo
and his unhappy bride. His property dis
appeared, the political influence of his
father ended with the fall of Dictator Santa
Anna, and his friends deserted him. His
wife died in misery and want and Leopoldo
took Ia begging on the streets.

W,ftnvrl1E. sept. %. 49, Special. -
The report ha- been circulated that u
Frenchuan. named Jim Pooler, attempted
last sunday evening to shoot the minister
who was holding services in the French
Protestant church ON the Plains. From
interviews held by .IoIRN NJ representative
e It'll persons present at the time, the follow
ing facts were learned
II seems that roolcr was drunk Sunday
nirl.t and borrowing a gun went to the
church. He Was overheard to say that he
was going to shoot the minister and he was
followed. He went to one Of the northerly
windows. which was open, aud rnsing the

and the charge did not enter the window
bnr went to one side The recoil knocked
Ppoler down and he was carried off by hi'
friends. who tried to hush the matter up.
Rev. Mr.. McDudle was supplying the
pulpit in the absence of the regular minis
ter R,,- NJ. Anbin. The general opinion
seemed to be that rooer went to the ehurci
with the purpose of shooting at someone
,n,l that the interference of a bystandel
alone prevented him from doing so. Those
in authority nave been acquainted with the
facts, it il understood, and yet have made

A Cranky Idea.

CnnAGo, ILL.,, sept. 23.-An engineer of
the Louisville and New Albany Railroad
proposes to lease piece of land near
the Exposition grounds and build a railway
track "A mile in circumference with another
track inside, both racks to be connected by
sw tches. Around one side of the track he
proposes to build an amphthcatre which
will seat 30 900 people
On these tracks he would place two loco
motives. He proposes to start the engines
at full speed the connecting switch will be
thrown open and the locomotives allowed
to collide. To make the collision more
realistic he proposes to have the engineers
jump Just in time to save their lives.
He thinks real railroad wreck would be
an attractive spectacle and he says he ean
furnish an entertainment of this sort for
