Young Clinton Citizen on His Way to Mex
leo To Avoid Arrest.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
CLINTON. Ind. Dec. 12.-The greatest
sensation ever known IN business and So
cial circles of this city. came out yesterday
when it was learned that William r. Blan-
ford. one OF Clinton's prominent and popu.
lar business men. and implement and stock
dealer. had left for parts unknown. He left
last Thursday, but no suspicion was raised
about it, as it was announced that
he had gone to Indianapolis on business.
1t has since developed that he took q hasty
flight to avoid arrest for forgery and the
hyT othecation of q large number of notes.
His business has totally collapsed and is in
the hands of the sheriff, including q large
implement store and a livery stable. His
liabilities Will amount TO $4,000, and the
accounts and goods OF hand will not pay
over 90 cents on the dollar. He had left a
large number of notes on the farmers of
this vicinity at the bank. Nearly all have
been raised In various sums. some from S4S
to S24S, and Others from small amounts
to 500. The amountinvOlv eed In this by
pothecatan Is not definitely known, but it
is To-day o great many farm
ers came IN to attest their notes and great
excitement prevailed when they discov-
cred TYNE trick b which they had been vic
timized. The bank is supposed to lose
some. but is generally believed to be safe.
His father will lose $1,000. County
Auditor Hamilton loses $3.50. Outside
manufacturer will lose from $50
to $4,000. Blanford had q bold, ener-
getlc manner that won him many friends.
and he was q prominent leader in all social
matters, beng q member Of the Masons,
Odd-fellows and Knights of Pythias. He
was treasurer of the latter society and has
absconded with the funds. some 300. He
is known to have had q large sum of money
with him when he left. He Is supposed to
have gone to Mexico. A reward of 81. 200
is offered for his capture. The Immediate
cause Of his downfall was the loss of near.
~ $4,000. which be bet on the election.
He took money from his business and was
unable to recover.

FIGHTING A NOMINATION.

Democrats Object to Making McComas .
J-ucge-severai Important Appointments.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-If the nomination
of Mr.. McComas for the District of Column
bia Supreme Cour. Bench should success
fully pass the opposition it will meet at the
hands of the Democratic members of the
judiciary committee, it Is certain to run
against q snag in the Senate. upon which
IL is possible it may be hung ND until after
the 4th of March next. Democrats say that
this Is not only possible. but extremely
probable. 1t is believed that the nomina-
tion Will be favorably TecoUm by the
judiciary committee. and then the struggle
will begin on the floor of the Senate, and
the executive sessions, until the case 10
disposed of. may be ACCOMPANIED by q dash
of spice not witnessed since the attempt To
defeat the nomination Of Judge Woods
last summer.
"The opposition to Mr.. McComas." said
IN influential Democratic Senator. lis not
directed against him personally, but is oc-
casiSned by the pernicious principle his
nomination representa-. Mr.. McComas was
Dne OF those who made q bitter fight for
the force bill. He was identified with that
Objectionable measure from start TO finish,
and his nomination was the award for that
work. Democrats cannot and will not
stand idly by and see the champion of such
legislation Is that proposed In the force
bill rewarded by political preferment with
out az least making q vigorous protest.
Again, the case Is identical with that of
Vice. president-elect Stevenson. whose nom
~ination, made by Mr.. Cleveland under pre-
cisely similar circumstances was hung up
by the Republicans. l do not believe the
Republicans can gather IN all their votes

ocrats will, TO a man., vote against confirm

10 is believed that Senator Palmer will
be active in this impending s~truggle, ana
that he will endeavor to even up the score
and wipe out the affront TO Illinois's dis
tinguished son of four years ago.

LONDON, Dec. 12.-The poet, William
Watson who was recently granted f2OO

best ode on Tennyson, and has even been
urged for the laureateship, has become
violently insane, and has been placed
in an asylum by order of the court at Wind
sor, where be was srraigned to-day as a
result of an esoapade. The evidence
brought out the fact that. about twelve
years ago. q love disappointment induced
suicidal mania. He recovered under the
influence of a ~sojourn in Algeria. Since the
royal grant success and flattery
seemed to have unhinged his
mind. As o consequence friends
in America aud elsewhere have been re-
ceiving irrational kilograms. His brother
followed him to Windsor on Sunday. when
the poet proposed that they visit Matthew
Arnold's grave. This is twelve miles dis
tant. but he would not be d~issuaded. Ar
irving at the long walk leading up to the
Windsor Castle. they met an e%quipsge con-
tanning the Duke of Edinburg and members
of his family. The poet rushed forward
and. selzipg the reins. tried 10 stop the
horses. He was placed under arrest. At the
station be said that Milton was Samson
was reinoarnated Milton. He said that
during. the night messages flashed
like lightning through his rooms;
that Delilah had been reiDcarnated to
tempt him. but he had kept himself pure.
He made other similarly incoherent state
menis. DR.. Ellison testified that the poet
was insane. and he was accordingly arrest
cd and sent to the asylum.
