Indiana LAWYER,

Indiana Lawyer.

M. R. Weir of this city yesterday en-
tered suit against Judge Daniel Noyes,
also of this city, and Judge of the
Thirty-third Judicial Circuit of In
diana, comprising LaPorte and St.
Joseph Counties, claiming damages to
the amount of $40, 0OO In the cam.
paign of 1888 Mr. Weir, though Demo
crat, opposed Noyes' reelection and
took the stump against him. He was
aided by a large number of ''anti-ring'
Democrats, but nevertheless Noys was
reelected omplainant alleges that
at once the defendant commenced q
series of prosecutions, such as ordering
Mr.. Weir's name omitted from the
printed bar dookets, refusing to recog-
nizing him in court and using his
official influence against complainant
In such ways as to nearly ruin his
business and damage him to the
extent of the amount claimed
The case is peculiar in that it is the
first of the kind ever entered in In.
diana and that the law is such that
the defendant can act as judge at his
own trial or appoint some one in his
stead who is his friend. Morgan Fl.
Weir has been prominent attorney
here for nearly fifty years, State Sena.

Warm Expressions of the Press
and People Funeral
Arrangements.

WAsHINar n, Jan. 2s.-An air of
deepest gloom enshrouds Washington
to-day. The deep public sympathy
over the death of Americas eminent
statesman finds expression on every
hand. The day was dark and gloomy
In striking contrast to the bright sun
shine of yesterday. Threatening
clouds overhang the capitol. Only a
few prominent callers came to the
Blaine residence IN the early morning
Mrs. Congressman Hit and Mrs. SEN
ator Hale remained with the ofamily
last night to console them in their
deep grief. Senator Hale and Con-
FRESHMAN Bouteile looked after the
personal comfort of members of family
and arranged the details for receiving
prominent callers who came to express
their sympathy. James G. B aine, Jr. 3,
and Walter Damrosch, Mr.. Blaine's
son-in-law, received close personal
friends of the family in the parlors on
the first floor when the latter called to
offer condolences to the grief-stricken
family. Among the early callers again
this morning was Dr. T. S. Hamlin,
pastor of the Church of the Covenant
(Presbyter who saw Mrs. Blaine
and Mrs. Damrosch and talked with
them about the funeral ceremonies
Monday. The Hon, Joseph Manley of
Augusta, Mr.. Rlaine's confidential
friend, and who is supposed to have
charge of the dead statesmans last
will and testament, is expected to ar
rive in the city to-day. The funeral
arrangements are in the hands of Will
lam E. Curtis, close friend of Mr..
Blaine's. who will announce them.

Her Majesty Proposes Many
Measures of Ref0rm-SaIis-
bury Antagonist.
Cabinet Will be Con-
tinually Assailed by the
Opposition.

LONDON, Jan. 30.-The Daily News
has published forecast of the Queens
speech opening Parliament tomorrow.
Besides promising the introduction of
the Irish Legislative bill, an electoral
registration reform bill and a county
council reform measure, the speech
will intimate that licensing reform
measure local option scheme, a bill
dealing with the election of county
magistrates and proposals affecting
the esta blished church of Scotland and
the church in Wales will be offered for
the consideration of Parliament
Next legislation will be promised to
extend the powers of the London
county council and board of trade
measure expanding the functions OF
the present labor bureau. References
will be made to the newly formed
royal commission on poor-law relief,
which is to deal with the old-age PEN
sion question, to the Indian currency
commission as about to present re-
port to Parliament, and allusion made
to a royal commission to inquire into
the land question in Wales. The at
tention of the House will be asked to
the report of the Irish evicted-tenants
commission and the governments pro-
posals based thereon.
Allusion will be avoided regarding
agitation fo' The release of the dyna-
mite convicts and Irish political
prisoners, except in a guarded refer
ence TO general measures which aim at
permanent peace in Ireland. Referring
to international matters, the speech
will hopefully remark on the Berlng
ing Sea arbitration about to open IN
Paris, to the timely settlement of the
recent Ministerial crisis in Cairo and
the restoration of harmony with the
Khedive, and to the monetary confer
ence at Brussels as assisting the gov
ernments represented fully to under
stand each others views.
Bland as the phrasing of the speech
is said to be, not an announcement IN
it but means challenge to the oppo-
sition Lord Salisbury and his late
colleagues have been in conference
and have determined, in conjunction
with the Duke of Devonshire and Mr..
Chamberlin, to open a war upon the
government without delay, Both the
ministerialists and the opposition take
the government program not SO much
as an invitation to actual work in Par
lament, as an electoral platform for
the next appeal to the cauntry. So
the Unionists have determined that
even at the risk of forcing dissolu-
ton, which they would regard as in
opportune they must combat the gov
eminent at every point.

BROKEN IN BY SNOW.
Worlds Fair Structures Damaged to
eg- the Extent of S1OO,0Oo.

e%'- the Extent OF SlOOsbO0.
CHICAGO. Jan. 2S.-Great banks of
snow that rested on the roof of the
manufactures building at the Worlds
Fair caved a hole about 16 by 600 feet in
the east annex or nave to-day and
caused about 500, 900 damage. The
weight of the snow before the rain of
last night and to-day was about all the
roof could bear, and when it was
soaked with rain and became
still heavier, the crash was bound
to come. Just before the wreck
several officers of the construc-
ton department had consultation
and decided that if there was a cave
in anywhere it would occur just where
it did. The roof there was known to
b. weak and the weight of snow was
greater than at other pltces on the
building. 1t was the only glass work
in the roof and the light iron
work gave way. The great trusses
that span the central arch of the
building and those that support the
naves are still intact and not at all in
jured. The officers anal contractors
say that they would stand the weight
of all the snow the clouds could drop
on them.

A Commissioners Views.

San Francisco, Cal, Jan. IS
ers to Washington appointed by the
provisional government at Hawaii made
the following statement to the aSsoci-
ated press:
THE object of our visit to Washing
ton is to have the United State take
possession of the Hawaiian Islands
We want to join the union. Not as a
state, however, but under a territorial
or district form of government. A gov
eminent like the District of Columbia
with the addition of a governor ap-
pointed by the president Is preferable
for many reasons. There is such a
large number OF Chinese and other
cheap IabOrers on the island who can'tba
trusted to vote intrlligently; that If uni
yersal suffrage Is declared, the whites
who represent almost the entire bust
ness interest of the country would be
out-voted and powerleSs. The entire
new system of government Is mixed up
and the only way is to have the United
States take charge. 1t must come to
this or the whites must leave the ISL
andS. Their interests are to great, how
ever. for them to give up without Il
struggle and revolution was the result.
The new constitution which was
brought out by the queen granted her
almost absolute power and a disfran-
chisement Of the white voters. The ma
sives themselves, as a rule are not In
favor of the queens plans. She is
supported by a certain clique of about
twenty who are anxious for political
power. The queen Is jealous of the
power of the whites and is an ambitious
and scheming woman badly advised.
Under the old regime she had no
cause to complain, but she undertook
to mix in politics and got the worst of
1t. Her plan was clever but she lacked
the nerve to carry it out.
eThe revolution was almost a blood
less one. Only one man was hurt, ma
tive policeman"

The very Interesting information has

the disclosure is the fact that Gen.
Bragg made application for the place

very certain of his election to the senate.
The Mexican mission pays IL salary of

STOLE THE BANKS FUNDS.
Officials of the Anglo-American Bank
Charged with Embezzlement


PARIS. Jan. 30.-There is great in
terest in the Anglo American colony in
Paris in the trial which commenced in
the Assize court to-day. Three
former officials of the Anglo-Ameri-
can bank are charged with having
misappropriated funds of the bank.
The ex officials are James Ii. Hobson
and Samuel J. Gormann, both Ameri-
cans, and Francois Martinelli, an
Italian. Gormann and Marhnelli will
not attend in court, as they are beyond
it's jurisdiction. Hobson alone will APP
pear to answer the charge.
The Anglo-American Bank was
founded some four years ago, with the
object of establishing branches in
various centers of America and Eu-
rope, doing a general banking bust
ness. The head Office is at New York,
the European branch in Paris. Mr..
Hobson was made manager and Mr..
Martinelli cashier. The bank COM
menced operations in June, 1889.
At a general meeting of the scare
holders, in New York last year, it Was
resolved that Gormann, Hobson and
Martinelli should be replaced. Tho
DO ice authorities in Paris ordered that
an examination of the banks books
should be made by an expert The
result was that Hobson, who had re-
manned in Paris, was eventually ar
rested. 1t was alleged that Hobson,
whose salary was 5000 francs a year,
with interest and profits, appropriated
something over 10000 francs of the
funds of the bank Hobson denies this.
Similar charges are made against Cor
mann and Martineli.
