SHELBYVILLE, Ind, Feb. 10.-At 10
O'Clock Tonight it was announced that
Commissioner James l. Cherry had ten
oered his resignation to Auditor Gilman
about half an hour before. This will have
the effect of dismissing both the cases
against the commissioners. which are set
for trial at special term OF court begin
ming Feb. u. Many of the charges were
very sensational and implicate many very
prominent Democratic politicians. 1t is
hoped by the Democratic leaders that these
designations will have a great influence in
healing the recent rupture in the party
lines caused by the exposure of crooked
ness among Democratic officers. The only
thing that has prevented these designations
from being made before has been a chance
for the accused commissioners to name
their successors.
County Commissioner William Perry
Jackson. appointed yesterday to succeed
William Amos. resigned qualified this
morning. 1t was the intention to have a
meeting of the commissioners during the
day, but none was held.
The Democrat, in its Issue tonight, re-
tracted its statement in regard to Grand
Juror Hensley being a member of the Nc
Corkle jury. and said: $50 far as any other
statement relative to Grand Juror Hensley
Is concerned, made in the article in which
the McCorkle case was mentioned, we have
nothing to say at this time. If II is the
intention to bring bladder suit against
the Democrat, we must quietly and patient
~ abide such action upon the part of MIR.
HenSley. The Democrat has no malice to
vent upon Mr.. Hensley, but we cannot be
used to bolster up the late grand jury.

JEFFRIES AND CORBETT.
They Will Fight at COney island
Date Postponed a Month.

NEW YORK, Feb 10.-The Jeffries-Cor-
bett fight it is announced, will take place
before the Seaside Athletic Club, Coney
island. w. A Brady. representing JEFF
fries, and George Considine, representing
Corbett, met this afternoon and took this
decisive action. The National Athletic
Club of San Francisco, failed to deposit
the $1,000 forfeit with a New York stake
holder within the required time. According
to the agreement, AL Smith was to hold
the forfeit money of all parties. He noti-
fed Consdine and Brady to-day that he
had not received any money from the Ma
tional Athletic Club. A telegram was
shown stating that the money had been de-
posted with a San Francisco newspaper,
but Considine would not hear of this. He
said that the match would be off unless
some other arrangement could be made,
and the Seaside Athletic Club. Of Coney
land, was chosen.
1t is announced that Sam Austin will be
the referee, that Jeffries will train at AL
lenhurst and Corbett at Lakewood. The
date of the fight has been changed from
April 10 to May Is or whereabouts, owing to
the possibility of bad training weather in
April. The Seaside Athletic Clubs offer
was 60 per cent. of the gate receipts.

S0CIALISTIC PROPAGANDA
Said to BE Respor sibIe for the Blood
shed I'm Martinique.

FORT DE FRANCE. Martinique, Feb. 10.
Senator Knight and the Governor were
present yesterday at the interment Of the
soldiers who were killed in the attack on
the troops 1T lie Francois. The presence
of the Governor and the speech by the
mayor OF Fort De France seem to indicate
conflict of opinion between the civil au-
thorities. There is a tendency on the part
of the administration to consider the riot
ing as only strikers outbreak. Twelve
men were killed and twelve mortally in
jured and others injured. The troops are
still at the scene of disorder, awaiting de-
velopments.
PARIS, Feb. ION. Du Quesnay, deputy
from Martinique, has received a cablegram
from ST. Pierre. Martinique, announcing a
big strike at five large sugar refineries and
telling of the disorders which resulted, as
previously cabled to the Associated Press.
The deputy says the strikes were entirely
due tor political agitators.

CRUELTY ON TRANSPORT
OFFICERS CHARGED WITH STRING.
ING UP MEN TO THE FUNNEL GUY.
Stowaway Alleged to Have Been Brut-
ly Handled and Put Ashore.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-Serious charges Of
cruelty. which are alleged to have been
committed aboard the United States
army transport Mcclellan, which ar
rived here yesterday from San Juan.
Porto Rico. and Santiago. Cuba.
were brought to the notice Of
United States Commissioner Shields to-
day by A. S. Barnwell. one of the crew Of
the vessel. AS the transport is lying at a
Brooklyn pier Barnwell and his witness
were directed to the federal authorities in
Brooklyn. The mate and the boatswain's
mate of the Mcclellan are the persons ac-
cused. Barnwel whose home is in Fer
nandina, Fla, told Commissioner Shields
that on the first day out from San Juan a
discharged soldier named Schwein, who
was a stowaway on the steamship. was
discovered, and, as there were believed to be
other stowaways aboard, he was asked
where they were. The soldier declined to
tell or even explain how he had managed
to conceal himself on the boat, and, Bard
well alleges, Mate Meritheau caused the
man to be shackled and strung up by a
block and tackle to the metal funnel guy.
The mans hands were fastened above his
HSdu anu every the transport IOiicQ
Schwein was carried off his feet. The
stowaway was strung UP for over an hour.
and then when he was let down he was
set to work cleaning ship. AT Santiago
Schwein was put ashore.
Barnwell related another incident which
occurred on a previous trip. There wasson
board then a discharged army teamster
named Curtis, he said, who had been sup
piled with transportation and rations
by the United States quartermaster. Barn
well asserts that the Mcclellan had hardly
got to when Curtis, who was classed as
a passenger, was ordered to work. Refus-
ing to comply, Mate Meritheau, Barnwell
alleges, had Curtis shackled and strung up
to the funnel guy. After he had been
strung up for over an hour he was hand
cuffed and kept a prisoner until the trans
port reached Santiago, where he was
forced ashore. -
Barnwell says he complained to those in
charge of the United States army trans
port service but. getting no satisfaction,
he decided 10 resign and expose the cruelty
in the federal courts. Barnwell was ac-
companied by another member of the Nc
Cleiian's crew, who corroborated the story.

Quoted a simple service wherein a review
of the coloners active life took the place
of sermon. The G. A. r. escorted the

taps at the close. Six veterans acted as
a guard of honor, while there were
two sets of pallbearers, honorary
and active all chosen by the
deceased some two years ago. when
he felt that his career was drawing
to a close. The honorary pallbearers COM
prised citizens who were the coloneps as
sociates in business and public activities
a generation ago, and the active pallbear-
ers were men who are prominent in the
activities of to-day.
Among those in attendance were G. A.
Coe. superintendent of transportation on
the Erie; Sol T. Gage, chief clerk to Gen.
eral Superintendent Blodgett, of the Lake
Shore, and Theo. F. Carvin. paymaster on
the Erie system. Another was John Pur-
dy, a coiored porter still in the service at
almost seventy years Of age. who has
served every superintendent of the Erie,
and who asked as a special favor that he

as much of an aggressor as Wiley. 1t will
try to show that the blows on the head
were not sufficient to produce the rupture
of blood vessels in the brain, but that it
was caused by the falling Of Terrell on
