GLOVER TALKS.
\ Ringing Arrangement OF
Warner.

Last night Ex-Congressman John
NJ. Glover spoke to large assemble
of ladies and gentlemen at the Court
house. He was introduced by Mayor
Stevens in a few well chosen words.
Mr.. Glover's speech while delivered
in quiet manner was a most bitter
and sarcastic one for the republicans.
His remarks were almost wholly con-
fined to Warmers candidacy. He
began by stating that the Warner
platform was the national republican
platform and that when you were ask
ell to vote for Warner you
were asked to vote for
the enemy of free silver and the friend
of high tariff. "Stick to the demo-
cratic platform" he said. land you
will go straight to heaven, and no
questions asked" He dwelt upon the
silver question, showed in what man.
ner the democratic party was friend
to the laboring classes and explained
how the republicans, from 1865 to
1870, created the debt for Missouri,
which the democrats have been pay
ing ever since.

the track accompanied by her running
mate, Abe Lincoln, and after jogging
her slow mile, Doble announced
himself ready. The race which
was in progress at the time, was de-
layed until later, as Nancy was then
in excellent spirits and Mr.. Doble
wanted to move while everything was
favorable. When the track was
cleared the mare and her driver
rounded the upper turn and
STARTED on THE COURSE
at two minute gait. Doble shook
his head as he passed Starter McCarty,
who was waiting for the sign, and
catching the move, tapped the bell for
another trial. The next time Mr..
Doble nodded his head as he went by
and McCarty shouted go. Away
they flew, almost brushing the people
off the fence as they passed. Nancy
was timed as she passed the first, Sec
ond and third quarters, and many
vowed that she would beat 2:O4.
The people crowded around the
home stretch to get better view of
the ending, as she came down the track
and this mistake may be attributed to
the fact that she did not make better
time than 2:O6i. Upon nearing the
wire Doble applied the whip gently
but the mare slowed up and
PASSED UNDER THE WIRE.
Just two minutes six seconds and
a halt after she started.
A greatcrowd gathered around Nancy
and her driver as they halted and wild
shouts were given in honor of the
trotting queen. This is Nancy's last
engagement and she will he taken to
her winter quarters, in Terre Haute,
the first of next week.

A RECEIVER APPOINTED

For the Order OF the Iron Hall-TeStimony
in Court Hints Mt Forgery by High Om-
cials OF the Institution.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. "a. The Iron
Hall is now in the hands Of receiver,
in the person Of James f. Failey, we'll
known wheel manufacturer of this city
and director of the Merchants Ma
tional bank The inevitable end came
Tuesday afternoon. The incident OF
the morning in court was the produc-
ton of resolution of the supreme sit
ting practically indorsing the 'invest-
ment" Of SS6, 900 Of the orders funds in
certain worthless securities by Henry
Hays of the Mutual bank. This reso-
luton was signed with the name OF Dr.
j. 7. Younghusband, chairman Of the
board of trustees, but on the stand he
repudiated the signature and imputed
it to Supreme Vice Justice Hosmer. The
latter was recalled and said he had
written it, but at Younghusbands re-
quest Younghusband had no chance
to talk back.
Supreme Cashier Davis was again
placed on the stand and produced
number of additional telegraphic orders
from Somerby to send him money for
Legislative work." in sums of $1,000
and $780, He avowed that upon several
occasions Somerby had positively or
dered him to send large sums to the
cashier of the Mutual bank, thus ex-
planning the orders very large deposits
there. After this testimony the plaint-
ifs rested their case and on their re-
quest court bailif was ordered to take
charge of the orders offices to prevent
the removal of papers. The defense
offered no testimony except couple OF
letters They filed an amendment to
the complaint and their counsel pleaded
for time to prepare argument, but the
court cut matters short. Judge Taylor
said no argument was necessary. The
mismanagement of the order clearly
brought out in the evidence made the
appointment OF receiver the only
course. He severely criticised the SUI
preme officers of the order.
Judge Taylor said he would fix bond
at s75O,OOO, remarlsing that that would
cover the amount of assets in Indian
apolis; for, il am any judge of human
nature, he will never realize five cents
on the dollar from the Philadelphia af
fairs"
Judge Howe was granted ten days t.
file bill of excep tions to the amended
complaint and sixty days to except th'
evidence. The appeal bond was fixet
at $75O,O No further assessment
will be called and the orders affairs
will be wound up as soon as possible.
