Bynum Selects Quarters at the
Palmer House in Chicago.

Chairman Bynum Of the National Demo-
cratic executive committee, returned yes
terday from Chicago. While there he To-
Gated permanent headquarters for the com
mittee in the Palmer House and will estab-
lish his committee there two or three days
after the notification meeting at Louis
vile next Saturday. The executive COM
mittee will have a meeting at Louisville
and it will then be determined after con-
sultation with the candidates, whether
they will make the tour through Nashville
and Memphis contemplated by Mr.. Bynum.
After looking over the field thoroughly
Mr.. Bynum has decided that the committee
will not endeavor to do much in the way
of literature beyond giving wide circulation
to the speeches made at the convention
here and putting out sound-money Demo
cratic newspapers, a work that has been in
progress ever since the committee was or
GaniZed. The effort to get up and circulate
special sound-money literature, he believes,
would be simply duplicating the efforts that
have been put forth by the national Hon
est-money League and other organizations.
While in Chicago Mr.. Bynum was in
formed that Sewall would probably with
draw from the Democratic ticket immedi-
ately after the New York convention of
Sept. Is. Chairman Jones has been anxious
TO nave MIN Withdraw at the earliest pos
sible moment and was in correspondence
with him to this end, when Bryan stepped
in and declared that Sewall should remain
the ticket for the influence it would
have in gaining Endorsement from the
New York convention.
Chairman Pickens, of the State commit
tee will hold a meeting of his committee
tomorrow. AT this meeting the dates and
places for holding the congressional con-
ventions will be agreed upon. 1t is likely
that National Democratic candidates for
Congress will be nominated In every dis
trict. 1t was practically decided at the
last meeting of the committee to nominate
in all but the Sixth district, but since that
time Puntenny, the Popocratic candidate
there has withdrawn in favor of Robin
son. the Populist candidate, and Demo-
cratic candidate will be furnished The
committee will also consider the legislative
question. AT first the plan was to put in
congressional and legislative candidates
only where the Popccrats and Populists
had fused but it will probably be deter
mined to nominate legislative tickets all
over the State.

Of Indianapolis learned of 1t and there Was
talk of forming another company and leas-

very strongly to men who had not a prac-

allowed to drop. This was about four
months ago, when leases on land could

men who was asked to contribute small
sum for the purpose of taking leases on

EVADED THE MAYORS ORDERS.
Martin Murphy and the Doctors Fixed
Themselves with Prescriptions.

Martin Murphy was asked yesterday
why he did not attend the meeting of the
Democratic city employees Tuesday night
in the Council chamber. He said he was
sick and could not get out. A man who
overheard the conversation and who
claims to know few things said he saw
Murphy Tuesday afternoon slipping into
the Board of Health office as if he were
afraid he might be seen. He looked in all
directions, but, seeing neither Bert Spencer
nor Mayor Taggart. said to DR.. Morrison:
Say, Doc, can't go to this COMPOUNDED
meeting tonight, but it's the orders that
we all be there. Now, 1 want you to help
out. / want you to examine me and
prohibit me going out in the night air; say
L am sick and give me a prescription
This was done. but it opened the eyes of
DIR. Morrison. Why not do the same thing
himself? 1t was good idea and might
save him some embarrassment in the fu-
ture. Hastily consulting DR.. Ferguson all
was arranged. Each one prescribed for the
other. Their prescriptions read: "R. Cafe,
dr.; aqua pura 6 or. Make decoction and
use with meals Sweeten to taste" To
those unaccustomed to handling physi-
clans prescriptions this might be some
what deceptive, but put in plain English
it is merely directions for making a cup of
good coffee. 1t worked just the same. and
now when Dr. Ferguson or DIR. Morrison
is asked about that meeting he merely
pulls out this prescription, signed by the
other conspirator, and shows it as his rea-
son for being unable to get out of the
house.
Yesterday the secret leaked out as to the
start of the movement that resulted in the
formation of the Bryan Club among the
city, employees. Governor Matthews had
read so much in the Sentinel about
coercion that he determined to take
hand in the coercion business himself Ac-
cordingly Myron King, his private secre-
tary, put on his hat last Friday and rushed
down to the State committee rooms. There
were half dozen people sitting about but
Myron talked right out in meeting. He
wanted to know where Tom Taggart was
at: If he was for Bryan he must either
talk or make signs. The city administra-
ton was not doing a thing, and if it was
against the ticket, it was time the Dem
ocrats over the State We're knowing it.
All this and more to the same effect was
said by the mighty Myron. 1t reached
Taggart's ears, and behold! The employees
of the city We're straighway whipped into
line and the Bryan Club was formed. Even
Controller Johnson's gray hairs We're not
respected and he was called upon to toe
the mark.

FELL In A FODDER PIT.
Little Haisie Ruby Dead-AttOrney.
Generals Daughter Escapes.

Little Halsie Ruby, the six-year-old
daughter of Mrs. Jennie Ruby, who is en-
ployed on the farm of Encouragement
Ketcham, near Napoleon, was suffocated
yesterday in fodder pit at the farm where
her mother is employed. Unknown to her
mother, the little child had risen early and
gone out on the farm with Lucy Ketcham
the seven-year-old daughter of the Attor-
ney-general, to watch the men work and
have a frolic before breakfast. The hands
on the farm were very busy making silo of
the fodder and placing it in a lined pit,
about fifteen feet deep and the same dis
lance long. The men had placed a small
amount of fodder into the pit, filling it up
slightly. The children in some way man.
aged to get into the pit without the men
seeing them, and the little Ruby girl was
Suffocated before she could be rescued. Both
children got into the pit, and were soon af-
fected by the poisonous gases which arose.
Mr.. Ketcham's daughter, owing to very
strong constitution, will survive. but the
other child died before she could be res
cued. Little Lucy, when she felt the eff
fects of the gas, attempted to climb out
and to help her companion, but was sue
ceSSful only in Summoning aid, which ar
rived too late to help the unconscious child.
The coroner was notified, and soon
at the farm where the accident happened.

Charles Cooper. feomus F.. Stuart and
Allen Jennings, late Colonel of the First

the stars at a Broad Ripple Popocratic
meeting Tuesday night. Cooper devoted his
attention to abuse of his opponent and the
recent Democratic sound money conven-
ton.
Popocratic county committee, that the poll
shows heavy gains for Bryan, and his pre-
county by 5000, is causing a laugh among
number of Republicans willing to wager
lots of money that Bryan will lose the
county by 5000 to 5000.
The Republican Club in Iryington held
its first meeting last evening, S. II. spoon
The Commercial Club room was filled

missioner Greer presided. The young Re-

publicanS over 1894.

indianapolis National RECEIVERS.

Receiver Hawkins, of the defunct
indianapolis National Bank has won
his suit against the First National
Bank of Concord, n. H.. involving
about S11 coo. The suit was to re-
cover an assessment on stock to the
amount of $4,000 held by the bank The
defense was that as the laws of the United
States and of New Hampshire prohibit
banks from holding stock in other corpora
tions as an investment, it was not liable.
The court did not see the sense in this
plea and decided against the bank. The
case has been appealed to the United States
Court of Appeals. This will give another
dividend of between 5 and 10 per cent. de-
pending in amount on the length of time
il takes to get the case finally determined.
