ATTEMPT TO KILL HIPPOLYTE.
A Woman Reveals q Plot to Assassinate
the President of Haiti.

NEW YORK, Aug. PA special dis
patch from Kingston, Jamaica, says: News
has reached here from what has hitherto
proved a reliable source that another at
tempt was made a few days ago to assas-
sinats President Hippolyte, of Haiti. The
attempt, it is said, was made one evening
while Hippolyte was on his way to his
country residence, a few miles from Port
au Prince. Twenty-four men. armed with
pistols. stationed themselves along the road
which the President was to take, and, ac-
cOrding to arrangement. the first shot was
to be fired when the intended victim mad
reached the center of the line. Es-
cape would then be rendered al
most impossible. a woman vas
responsible for the failure of the
plot. One of the would-be assassins told
his sweetheart of the conspiracy, and she
gave a hint to one of Hippolyte's generals.
The consequence was that on the evening
in question the President set out from
Port an Prince with an extra strong body
on ahead 10 search the woods on either side
OF the road. Several ambushed men were
caught and placed under arrest, but the
rest eluded pursuit. Only two were bold
enough to try and carry out the original
plan. These got close enough to the Pres
ident to fire, but both bullets missed the
Intended victim.

He is very striking in appearance. He gen.

style. His hair is dark gray and his face
is smooth. Several of the detectives met
him on the street several times, but forgot
that he was wanted and did not arrest
him.
Last Sunday the following special was
received from Cincinnati:
"A check swindler, notorious i'm every
city in the Nation, was arrested here to-
day for plying his operations Thursday and
Friday. He is Albert c. Ward. sixty-seven
years old. who was born in Indianapolis.

confederate of Bill Kissane. of the steamer
Martha Washington fame He was also
arrested and imprisoned in Lafayette, N
y, in 1864. as one Of a conspiracy of hotel
burners, two of whom were hanged. The
contamination Of his schemes here was cut
short by his arrest to-day. He has not
been long out of New York penitentiary."
How he escaped or came TO be released
by the Cincinnati authorities is not known.
Captains Campbell and Quigley, who are
familiar with the crooks who have oper-
ated in this city for the past number OF
years, say that they remember Ward as a
notorious thief and all-round crook. but do
not remember that he ever lived in this
city. They say that Wards visits TO this
city years ago were numerous. but that up
to his present visit they did not know OF
him being here for some time past.
SnorLY before midnight last night patrol
men Hollis and STREET were on their district,
wnich IS the fourteenth. when they were
accosted by Ward. though they did not
know it at the time They had received
no orders from headquarters TO arrest him.
Ward conversed with them freely and the
officers were very much impressed with him.
He wore several tuberoses on his coat lapel
and on leaving gave the lower to them
with his compliments. In a few moments
the officers made their regular call TO the
police station and were given a description
Of Ward and orders to arrest him. They
then found that they had been talking TO
him but a short time before.

DID NOT
Little Done by the senate Prevailing
Distress" Committee.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-The select COM
mittee on "the prevailing distress" which
was appointed by the Senate during the
height of the Coxey movement, soon found
itself without business. 1t never held but
two meetings, and heard only two COM
plants. One of these came from Morrison
]. Swift. of the Boston contingent of the
industrial army. and the other from one
OF the leaders of the Calvin company
named Ward. Speaking of the committee
to-day, Senator Villas. its chairman, said
that when il was called into existence there
was a general feeling about the Senate
that, owing to the pressure of the times
and the persistence of the industrials, il
would become necessary to formulate some
measure that would in some way meet the
condition that existed. "The condition
changed so quickly. however" he said,
that il soon became evident that the com
mittee would not be called upon to do
much. The Chicago strike came on, and
with that climax the pressure of the indus
trials seemed TO diminish rapidly until II
has died out entirely. We hear no more OF
opposition concerning their approach, hey
have come and gone. There was no voice
had those CHARTERED in that State arrested
or when the governor Of Virginia had the
put out of the State by the militia.
There seems" added Senator Villas. ito
have been a mistaken idea as to the duties
of the committee. 1t was not authorized
to Investigate the public distress at all.
but merely TO receive memorials and petit
lions on the subject and TO consider the
question of legislation. Mr.. Swift presented
a written document and Mr.. Elard made a
lengthy speech, too, while President Fisk,
of the Bimetallic League, sent us a long
letter. Beyond these we have received
nothing whatever"
Some people obtained the impression
that the committee would attempt to right
the private wrongs of individuals arising
from whatever cause. One woman residing
In Philadelphia spent her last cent TO come

who. she said, was a wealthy alien, before
the committee and TO ask for redress for
the wrong done her. She was, of course,
told that the committee could take cogni-
Zance of no such case, and she appeared
greatly surprised that il could not. The
committee will continue its existence dur
ing the present Congress, If no longer, and
Il NAV possibly be made one of the perma-
nent committees of the Senate.

How Charles Osborn Died.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind, Aug. .2.-The
administrator of the estate of Charles Os-
born has flied a suit for $4,000 against the
Big Four railroad. In July. 1893. Osborn
was a freight brakeman on the Big Four,
and the complaint alleges that the road
was short of hands and Osborn was forced
to do overwOrk. That one evening his
train reached Peoria, ILL.,. and having not
slept for seventy-five hours he retired. but
in a half hour he was recalled to go on
duty. He was head brakeman. and when
near jamestown he was sent ahead to
warn a passenger. He set his red light
down on the track and went to sleep sit
ting on the end of the ties. The passenger
came along, ran over the red lantern and
struck him i'm the head. From the injuries
received he died, and hence the suit.
