FUNERAL OF OFFICER BARKER.
The Murderer's Mother at the Grave
Arrest of Reed at Shelbyville.

The deplorable and tragic chapter I'm the
life Of Samuel Barker closed at Crown Hill
yesterday afternoon. In the vault of the
beautiful cemetery the remains of the MUIR
dered officer were tenderly placed by mem
bers of the Indianapolis police department
at o'clock. At 2 o'clock the funeral exer-
cises occurred at the family home, No.
Az North New Jersey street, the Rev. DR..
Coultas of Roberts Park Church, con-
Quoting the simple ceremonies. Besides the
regular detachment Of police many Of the
officers were present, and large con-
course Of friends listened to the remarks
of the minister, which were brief but in
tensely impressive. a pathetic but striking
feature of the sad occasion was the pres
ence in the house of the mother of the
murderer, heavily enveloped/in dark veil,
and an intent observer of the services.
During the progress of the officiating pas
moved, and displayed evidences of the
keeneSt grief. AT the conclusion of the
services, with Others she viewed the dead,
and, with deepest anguish, realized the aw-
full import of the act of her misguided son.
The poor woman accompanied the cortege
to the grave and mingled 1,,l her tears with
officiating pall-bearerS were Captain
Dawson, sergeants Hyland and Wilson, and
William Reed, the slayer of special Off

bert learned that man had been captured
by Sheriff. Bruce, of. Shelby county,
swering the description of young Reed,
and at once wired for information. Late
yesterday evening he received the follow
ing message:
"Got man we think is Reed; come at
once. as We can't hold him longer than
o'clock Monday"
In response to the telegram Chief De-
tective Splann left for Shelbyville at 2
O'Clock this morning. Should the prisoner
prove to be Reed he will be brought here
at once. The police believe that the Shell
byville prisoner is Reed, from the fact
that he has friends in that place and told
an acquaintance few days ago that he
was going there to "see his girl" The
man thought to be Reed was captured by
Sheriff Bruce Saturday morning, and on
Saturday night the officer came TO Indi-
annapolis. He saw no one connected with
the police department. and the nature OF
his business here cannot be conjectured
unless, perhaps, he desired to ascertain on
the quiet whether or not there was a re-

REV. DIR. TEvIs,s SERMON.
True Happiness Is the Law OF the
Tnf


Pew DIR. Tevis preached in Fletcher
Place Church yesterday morning. taking for
his text, who is over all, God blessed for
ever. Amen'-Romans TX, 8. The following
is an excerpt of his sermon:
The nations nearest the throne OF power
TODAY are those Influenced by gospel
truth. The spirit Of Christ permeates all
CIVILIZATIONS. When He was born He found
Paganism and Judaism governing the
world. They were the holding forces of
the nations. In Christ and His religion
there was nothing seen that was attractive
or to Indicate growth. He was poor and
despised. and his doctrine was opposed to
the dominant powers of the world Hence
Ali unbiased minds have seen in the growth
of Christianity the indubitable evidences or
its divinity. He who made the illimitaDie
empire in which we find ourselves is God.
He Is the author, owner of all things, and
therefors our all. We are taught that all
things were made by Him and for Him.
II the Bible be not true the world has no
Christ's supremacy is as wide as the uni
verse "Our ALL visible and invisible, far
and near.
God governs men and angels by their
Wills They obey His laws because they
will to. God reasons with them ana con-
yinces their judgment with truth. Wicked
men are governed against their will. They
are overthrown and punished by onnipo-
fences. All nature animate and inanimate,
is under law.
Christ governs His empire with mercy,
but without fear. He has all power and Is
able to do all things. II He were not
equal to every emergency He would not be
God His perfect happiness implies His
almightiness and holiness. If He were not
right in all things He would not be holy
Christ is always under the influence OF
love Love was the cause OF his earthly
sojourn. He left the glory OF heaven for
life OF sorrow and a shameful death be-
cause He loved tire world OF men. His
gospel is the doctrine OF love. His re-
liglon is love and IL is declared that love
is the fulfilling OF the law.
From the foregoing We may infer that
happiness Is the law of the universe. All
the pure and good Of the world heartily

Don't Remove the Debris.

People along the line of the Clifford-avenue
sewer are complaining not a little that
the contractors do not clean up after them.
The street is so narrow that the contract
ors have to pile the gravel and dirt from
the excavations upon the sidewalk, leaving
but a narrow path on each walk. The peo-
pie are willing to stand this at points where
the sewer is building, but claim that the
contractors should, after finishing the sew
err along part of the street, clean up
the debris at that point, instead of leaving
their piles of dirt on the sidewalks for a

KENT is a WINNER.

What the Evening journal Says About the
Able Eleventh Ward Alderman.
From the Evening Journal:
1t appears to be generally under
stood among the leading Republicans
in the Eleventh Ward that Alder
man w. d. Kent is to be reelected.
lie has made good record and
shown himself a trustworthy and
capable member, and the Republicans
of the Eleventh can do no better than
to return him for a second term ="
said ex-Alderman w. NJ. Pond. Il
regard Mr.. Kent as one of the most
available men for Alderman. He has
acquired experience during the last
term and will be able to represent
his constituents in creditable man
ner. No objection has been made to
his past record and | think he will
not have any opposition"
w. j. Wilson was found to be a
stanch friend of Mr. Kent. Said he
was an honest, capable young man
and would be reelected
b. A. Eckhardt expressed himself
as being decidedly in favor Of the re-
election of Alderman Kent Said he
was a strong man and had made an
excellent alderman.
Arch NJ. Campbell was found very
enthusiastic in his determination to
aid in securing the denomination Of
Mr.. Kent. "IIe is made Of the right
kind OF timber and has the ability to
make a mayor OF whom Chicago
might be proud, and If he was a few
years older think he would be favor

BarriSter KeOgh Reads
Fight Returns tOKeep
Up Interest,
While Isaac X. BOyeseR
Beats Il Drum
Solo.

An elegant assert ment of barrel
house buns, cX-whisky thieves, and
doughnut politicians assembled in
Central Music Hall on Wednesday
night ostensibly to hear w. liesing
tell of his woes, and incidentally to
hear the returns from the New Or
leans prizc-aght.
Among the well-known stifIs or
the platform were Gen Lieb and Gen.
Mead.
During Mr. Hesing's remarks, SyI-
vester X. Keogh, a prominent tarrier
barrister read the returns by rounds
of the Hall-Fitzsimmons fight, which
was going on at New Orleans, to re-
lieye the monotony.
Mr., Hesing was greatly applauded
when he referred to the fact that
some of the attendants at the city
convention had been in the County
Jail for committing frauds on the
revenue laws.
Mr.. George Braham, well-known
baritone politician, sang verse en-
titled, Coming Through the Rye"
Mr. Hesihg thereupon announced
that he never had been candidate
for Mayor, anyhow; that he was
Republican, and that he didn't care
who knew it.
Mr.. Isaac X. Boyesen here executed
a drum solo after the dead March
in Saul"
Mr.. lIesing then announced that
"the present administration, as you
must admit, is a failure as lament
able as can be conceived. The City
Hall is not only overrun and infested
by thieves and bummers, but is
actually owned and run by clements
as unprincipled and shameful as they
can possibly be. The same gang,
the same Aldermanic combine, the
same contractors ring that are in
possession Of the City hall, your City
Hall, seek to perpetuate themselves;
they care nothing for party; they
care less for the city's welfare"
lie forgot to explain that this is
the reason why the people want
Carter Harrison elected.
At this point Mr.. Keogh, in his
rich settler water voice, announced
That Hall had been knocked out in
the fourth round.
Thereupon the crowd, without
waiting to hear what Mr.. Armstrong
said about a collection, 6led out.

an example of the possibilities OF an
energetic, sturdy and straightfor-
ward citizen of to-day, for at the age
Of 10 years the death of his father
threw the burden of supporting his
widowed mother and the family up
on his youthful shoulders. He did not
falter, but steadfastly undertook the
task, and has succeeded in not only
providing those dependent upon him
with support but has bestowed upon
his sisters a liberal education.
Mr.. Crawford has followed various
occupations, never scorning hard
work that promised fair remunera-
ton. He served on the Board of
Trade as bookkeeper and cashier for
B. p Hutchinson for four years, and
acted in the same capacity in the
Sub-Treasurer's Office for one year.
James w. Crawford is one Of the
cleaneSt young business men in this
city. He is a typical Chicagoan of
unlimited pluck and energy. He was
born in Chicago-on the North Side
i'm 1860, and has resided there ever
since. He is an educated and pol
ished gentleman, and throughout his
career he has been hard working
and consistent Democrat, and his
counsel and advice is considered in
valuable by the leaders Of his party.
His influence has always been thrown
on the side of honesty and decency.
Mr. Crawford seems to he a man who
is liked, and, best Of all, by those who
know him best He has for the past
five years served as Chief Deputy I'M
der Assessor S. b. Chase, and his ex.
perience in this position makes him
an invaluable man in the Office.
The warmth with which his nomina-
ton has been welcomed by his
fellow citizens Of the North Side,
without distinction Of party, has
been noticeable the present week.
This goes TO prove that Mr.. Crawford
will command the suffrages of the
people Of the North Town. 1t won't

the election of Mr.. Crawford means
the same fair, honest, and Just treat
ment Of all taxpayers that has char
acterized all dealings with ex-As-

past. James W. Crawford should be
elected by a rousing majority, for In
