Deputy Marshals Sworn In to Protect
Mail Trains.

CHICAGO, June 30-President Egan, of
the Railway Managers Association, called
on United States Marshal Arnold to-day
to ask for twenty deputies to protect mail
trains. District Attorney Milchrist tele-
graphed to Encouragement Olney for IN
structions. The marshal received reply
this afternoon. The Attorney-general said:
"You are authorized to employ sufficient
deputies to prevent the obstruction of the
mails and to arrest all persons who may
attempt such obstruction"
The United States marshal heretofore
has had his deputies but one road, the
Santa Fe, which is in the custody of the
court. Neither Marshal Arnold nor United
States District Attorney Milchrist enter
tanned any doubt as to what Attorney-gen-
eraI OIney's reply would be- as the latter
telegraphed to the district attorney two
days ago instructing him to proceed against
any one obstructing the mails The
1.-THE time has come for the government to
take hand on all the ROADS, and not on
those simply which are in the hands of re-
ceivers. The mails must be allowed TO
run. L will appoint as many deputies, as
may be necessary to protect all the roads.
ties to-day for the Santa Fe road. This
makes little one hundred federal
officers on duty at the depot and in the
yards of that company. No arrests have
yet been made by the deputy marshals
and no attempt has been made to interfere
with the Santa Fe where the marshals are
on duty. There was a big crowd at the
marshars office, men who wanted positions
deputies. Marshal Arnold said he could
procure thousands of good men without
any delay. The men were mainly work
ingmen out of employment. The govern

arms of any kind. nothing but commits

Quired TO have revolver of his own.

Russell Harrison Gets Ovation
from 10000 People at COlIett Park.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, June 3O.-Ten
thousand persons went to Collett Park yes
terday afternoon and last night to enjoy
the outing and at the same time give evil
dence of their disapproval of the action Of
the Board of Park Commissioners in de-
Gliding to close the park earlier than had
been the custom this season. 1t was to be
the last night the board would permit the
gates TO remain open until IL o'clock. Rus
sell Harrison, president of the street-rail-
way company, had placed arc lights
throughout the grounds and provided en-
tertainment in the way of music, stereop-
ticon views and swings, as he had done
on a previous OCCASION, and the people
were glad to take advantage of the oppor-
tunity to show that they were with him in
the effort ito make the park a popular re-
sort. The plea for keeping the gates open
until IL p. m. has been that the evenings
was the only time the workingmen and
their families could go to the park The
local union of the American Railway Union
has adopted resolutions commencing Mr..
Harrison and calling on the other trades
unions to do likewise. The Central Labor
Union tomorrow will take like action. A
petition in favor of open gates was passed
along Main street for a distance of seven
squares carrying the business part of the
city, and every reliant except one signed
il. The park commissioners say they are
not satisfied wit the light; that there is
danger OF immortality and other old fogy
reasons. The retort is made that an open
park with families of women and children
is not an immoral dollhouse. The park was
hardly known TO the great majority OF
people until Mr.. Harrison began attracting
attention to ii. He had a controversy with
some Of the ministers about keeping ii
open at night and on Sundays, and de-
will be in this instance remains to be seen,
but there is no doubt he has made himself
immensely popular with the people. At
the park last night he was given a personal
ovation by all who met him.

stancy TO the Roumanian she was holding
intimate relations with an elderly Belgian
officer of high rank. This morning a lady
called upon the girl for the purpose Of
breaking the friendship that existed be-
tween her and the Belgian officer. The
Roumanian in some manner learned OF the
relations between his sweetheart and the
Belgian, and the knowledge drove him
into a frenzy of rage. Taking his revolver
he went to the girls room and accused
her Of faithlessness TO him and tainted her
with her disgrace. Then, before anyone
could interfere TO prevent him, ne shot the
girl and killed her. Immediately afterwards

LAPORTE, Ind, June 30-George and
William COLON, proprietors of a general
store at Mill Creek, this county, were
awakened at / o'clock this morning by the
burglar alarm that connects their residence
with the store. They quickly armed them
selves with a. revolver and double-barreled
shotgun and proceeded to the building,
block distant George stationed himself at
the rear door with the gun and William
went to the front window, through which
he saw two men busily engaged in select
ing goods to carry away. He fired his re-
volver in the air and commanded the men
to surrender, but they made a break for
the rear door, where they encountered
George Collon One of the burglars drew
a revolver and fired five shots at him,
but without effect. The robbers had by
this time emerged from the store and
started to run, when COLON opened fire
on them with the gun He lodged a load
of shot in the back of each of them, and
killed one of them almost outright, while
the other is. probably fatally injured.
The wounded man was brought here and
placed in Jail. He is about twenty years
DID, and gives his name James Carr
and his home as Durand, Pa, where his
mother lives. He disclaims all knowledge
of his companion, and says they never met
before until last night, when they were
put off at Mill Creek from Grand Trunk
train. There was nothing on the person Of
the dead man to identify him. A razor in
closed in a cloth sack was found suspended
down his back from string attached to
his neck. He was about forty years old,
and had the appearance of an all-round
tough This is the seventh attempt made
in recent years to rob COLON Brothers

robbers were winged, but not serious
enough to prevent their escape.
