MARION, Ind. Aug. H.-About a hundred
shovelers employed by the W~arren-Scharf
Asphalt Paving Company, of New York
city. on the improvement of Washington
street, in this city. went on a strike this
afternoon. They have been receiving SIS a
day and their demands are for $l.50. All hut
seven men went out. but in a short time
the company had about twenty-five men at
work. A bill was passed by the last Legis-
lature providing that laborers on all pub
lie work should receive 10 cents an hour.
The men are working ten hours a day and
they consider that the work is public work.
Many lawyers contend that, as the Warren
Scharf Company has taken the contract. it
is no longer considered by law as public
work. AS soon as the men went out they
marched In double file TO the Trades Coun-
ell hall. where they organized under the
name of the Marion City Labor Organiza-
ton and officers were elected. II was de-
cided at the meeting that all should stand
by the demand but il was understood that
no member of the organization should par
ticipate in any rioting or trouble. Superin-
tendent Young stated that he did not wish
TO talk about the matter.

ARRESTED FOR MURDER
HENRY QUICK Is CHARGED WITH
POISONING HIS BROTHER.

Bride-Many Deaths.
to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
PERU. Ind, Aug. H.-Henry Quick is in
Jail tonight. charged with numbering his
brother, William Quick. The charge was
filed by Joel Sharp, an uncle. as a result of
the discriminating testimony recorded at the
inquest held by Coroner Yarling. Mrs.
Quick, the widow, is equally affected by
the testimony and there is every reason TO
believe her arrest will follow tomorrow.
William Quick, who was twenty-one years
old and had been married only a month.
died ten days ago in awful agony. A physi-
clan was summoned only half an hour before
death. but the man had suffered all hight.
Every indication pointed TO poison as being
the cause of death and DR.. Hurry. of In
~dianapolis, found great quantities of poison
in the stomach. Coroner Yarling has since
been holding an inquest and has gathered
much damaging testimony. There is evil
dence that Mrs. Quick was in love with
Henry and also that William, the husband,
knew the situation and tried TO get Henry
away from his house, where he had been
living. Mrs. Quick Is only seventeen years
old and was Edith Flora. of Peru. before her
marriage. Henry Quick is but nineteen
years old.

THE SHAMROCK'S MOTTO
Upton TAKES ST. PATRICK's CRY
OF "GOD SAVE IRELAND"
The Foreign Yacht lowed Up to Erie

Special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special 10 the Indianapolis JOURNAL.
WASHINGTON. Aug. H.-The Bureau of
Navigation has examined into the question
relative to the assessment of tonnage and
lighthouse dues upon SIR Thomas Lipton's
yacht Shamrock, which arrived in New
York a few days ago. and which will at
tempt to wrest from this side of the At
lantic the famous Americas cup. The GUS
toms officers of the Treasury Department,
in looking over the Shamrock, or, more
properly speaking. in making a survey of
that vessel, came across something which
will probably interest all Irish-Americans.
In fact. it would seem to-be a direct appeal
on the part of the builders TO induce Irish
Americans to play their wagers on the re-
suit of the international race on the yacht
Shamrock. The Shamrock has been sup
piled with numerous nautical Instruments
and compasses, but the latter, two in num-
Der, are Of special patented designs. The
innac stands are of the best seasoned
teak. decorated with bands of shamrock
leaves carved around the top, and the base
OF the centerpiece consisting Of the sham
rock. rose and thistle entwined. Surmount-
ing the centerpiece Is the following letter.
ing in Irish characters: Go soorad Fire"
1t is a motto of st. Patrick's: God save
Ireland"

TROUBLE WITH INDIANS.


DENVER. Col, Aug. 21.-General Mer-
Ram, commanding this department. has re-
ceived a telegram from Colonel Fuller. COM
handing Fort Wingate. stating that a white
man had been killed and an Indian wounded
at Navajo Springs. seventy-five miles west
OF Wingate. and that danger might be ex-
pected from the redskins. Lieutenant Nc
Nance and a detachment OF the Ninth Cav
airy were sent out early yesterday morning
and adyices received at headquarters during
the day indicate that quiet has been re-
stored.
The lieutenant reported that the Navajos
were paid at Santa Fe and got drunk. They
shot and killed a gambler named Landreth,
who had been supplying whisky TO the In
dams. One of the latter was wounded in
the arm by Landreth and Immediately a
crowd of twenty-five Indians attacked him
and planted a dozen bullets in his body. The
sheriff attempted to arrest the ringleaders.
but the redskins made armed demonstration
and a general attack, according TO the on
GERS message, seemed imminent. The sher-
ff finally made four arrests and the quartet
will be taken to st. Johns, A. T., for trial

WHISKY AT ST A GLASS.
Prospect I'm the KIondike During the
Coming Winter.

VANCOUVER. B. c.. Aug. 21.-Louis
Marks. the Klondike correspondent Of the
Financial News. of London. England, ar
rived to-day from the north by the steam
er Rosalie. He has been investigating con-
ditions there and prospects for mining de-
velopment. He says that the output this
year will be we'll over $40, 900, 600. royalty
having been collected on 81, 200, 900, and a
great deal of dust will evade the collection
entirely. Mr.. Marks says that the govern
mental system there is a wicked one. He
illustrates this by the way in which whisky
permits and other matters have been
handled. Whisky permits were some time
$500, 900 to the government in revenue money
that was to be spent in building roads, but
the government. instead of carrying this
out, Cancelled these permits and gave the
permits TO their party friends. In this way
all the revenue was lost and Mr.. Marks
says. as a result, Dawson will have a big
whisky trust this winter that will nave
liquor up to 81 a glass.
Speaking more particularly of British in
vestment, Mr.. Marks said that, in a few
years, the whole country would be changed
to a big hydraulicing district. This was be-
ing started now and large groups of claims
are being bought up to be operated in this
way.

HORACE GREELY'S BARN,
Church People Apply the Torch I'm
Revenge on DR.. Clendenin.

NEW YORK, Aug. A.-The barn on the
Horace Greedy estate at Chappaqua, N. Y,
was partly burned early this mornir g. TN
blaze Is believed to have been the work Of
an incendiary. Rev. DR.. F. NJ. Clendenin,
who is rector of st. Peters Church of West
chester, which was burned last week, has
been living on the Greedy estate this sum-
mer. When the church was burned DR..
C1endenin was at ~Chappaqua. and when the
barn was burned this morning he was at
Westchester. The burning of the barn will
be regarded as strengthening the theory Of
~incendiarism expressed by DIR. Clendenin
regarding the burning of St. Peters. DIR.
Clendenin believes that st. Peters was set
on fire by some membe of the Broad
Church. party, who had become bitter over
the controversy that arose with DR.. Glen
DENNIS protest against the ordination OF
DR.. Briggs in st. Peters.

Sir Thoma. i. Confident.

LONDON. Aug. A.-Sir Thomas Upton. in
an interview with a representative Of the
Daily Mail. expresses himself as delighted
at the reception accorded the Shamrock by
the Americans. II am deeply sensible" he
says. "of the very great kindness and cour-
tesy extended to the master and crew of the
challenger. and / take 1t as a very great
and exceptional compliment that the free
dom of the port of New York has been
granted to me and my friends. Indeed, /
venture TO say that no greater mark Of
courtesy could be possibly shown. / shall
sail for New York by the Campania next
Saturday, with Messrs. Fife and Ramsey,
and soon after our arrival we shall join the
Shamrock for her trial spin.
II am not a betting man, or / would like
TO have some of that 3-to-1 betting they are
offering in the United States against the
Shamrock. In fact. a friend of mine told
me he means TO have f1.0O worth at that
price. You see. a lot OF people are judging
the Shamrock by her appearance at her
m%oorings after the ocean trip. The fact Is
that they know nothing whatever about her.
That Is all / can say. Now let the better
boat win"
