IS THIS STRAIGHT ? J ’clegrram frora Indianapolis which Declares that SXRKISON’S CABINET IS APPENDED BELOW. AS Kimn an, Blaiaa, Windom, Hulk, Ihonuu, Noble, WuMukir, Miller of IsdUaa; Miller, of New York—The Free* Eaemles and Ignored HU Friends. Indianapolis. Ind., Feb. 19.—The cab (net has at last been seiai-otficially an nounced. Biographies of the following were given to the - compositors in the Journal office to-day: Secretary of state — James Gillispie Blaine, of Maine. f -.Secretary of the treasury—William Windom, of Minnesota. Secretary of war—Jere Rusk, of Wis consin. Secretary of the navy—John R. Thomas, Of Illinois. Secrotary of the interior—John Wit lock Noble, of MissouA Postmaster General—John Wanama ker, of Pen ns, lvania. Attorney General—William Henry Harrison Miller, of Indiana. Secretary of agriculture—Warner Mil ler, of NewYork. ip-—.* The makeup of the cabinet'has been settled since ’ festerday. when the>accept- ance by Mr, Windom of the treasury de partment made it possible to proceed with the choice of men for the three 01 four minor places that bad been held open pending the settlement of the ques tion' of disposing of the treasury depart ment. Of til* eight, ikgs understood that Blaine, Rusk; Noble, Windom and Millet of Indiana, have already practically ac cepted the places for which, they are 6et down. There is some doubt yet as Vo Thomas, and it is understood as little as lb whether Warner Miller will be con tented with the post of distributor ol seeds, and the chief likelihood of clmnge kn the cabinet is in these places. Sometime ago a man near enough to Ben Harrison to be classed as one of the family, 6aid to a well known republican, who was about to oall upon the pres ident: “I wish you would, as much as you can, try to get out of the general’s head an idea that 1 am afraid has been getting lodgment there recently. 1 am very much afraid that he is going to try to placate his enemies instead, of slicking to his friends.” When the above list of the cabinet was shown to one of the parties to this con versation, he remarked: V - “To all appearances Gen. Harrison's aim has been neither to placate his ene mies nor to stick to his friends, and if he appoints that cabinet he will have eucceded admirably.” If the feeling here among the men who have ever since the convention last Bummer been vaunting their confidence - in the sound judgment and vigorous, not to say rigorous backbone of Benja min Harrison, is any indication of what the feeling will be throughout the coun try upon the announcement of the cabi net, tnere is a heap of lively music in store for President Harrison, ’lhe hoo- fiier republicans first hesitated in their adoration of Harrison when they were compelled to admit that Blaine was to be secretary of state. They had scarcely braced themselves up with this consoling idea that perhaps it was merely another evidence of the integrity of their favor ite's back-bone that he dared to take up -Blaine, when the rumor of Windom a chances began to be noised about. No true hoosier republican would believe Buoh a thing of Ben Harrison, however, and even after Mr. Windom's visit here, there were many who still refused to be lieve that he was to be in the cabinet News has been leaking out fast in the past 24 hours, however, and now that addition of Noble. Wanomaker and W. H. H. Miller to the list is assured, the hoosier confidence in the state's first president is shattered into ragged frag ments of profane indignation. The list of the full cab net was shown to a republican . of national stand ing, who has had the reputation of being “very close” to the president elect. He refused at first to believe that there was any possibility of the cabi not being constructed in that way. but when in formed of the Bource from which the in formation’was obtained, he had to admit that it was at - least semi-official fie talked with great reluotance u|on the subject, hut manifested unmistakable exasperation at the situation. “Just look at;it. £With whom as he consulted about the cabinet? First, there was John Wanamakef, who achieved political fame by the quick and easy way of raising a pot of money for campaign expenses, and who, six months ago. was of no account politically, even in his own ward or precinct. Then there was Will iam Windom, who had not been heard of E litically since his own state repudiated m yean ago; and, lastly, there was J. . W. Noble, the Lord only knows who he Is. These are the only men who came here upon cabinet busine.-s through any body that his selection will not create a • ripple. It is understood hat the dis- ! A pensation of the patronage from the tN 13; state will be practically in the hands of i„\ John C. New and that Miller will be in w Xhe the cabinet Bimply as a personal aid to the president, and not with the idea of looking after Hoo ier politics. “Nobody here had ever h ard of Noble until he was brought out a a ca inet MR. possibility on the streng.h of a casual re- < information comes from St. Louis that * there is much surprise-there over the choice, and that there are personal rea son’s which unfit Mr. No&Iefor a place of so much responsibility as the interior de partment. “There is nothing but good words for Uncle Jere Ru k s rugged honesty and straight forwardness, whatever do .bt there may be as to his ability as an ad viser upon matters of national import ance. “The fact that John R. Thomas has just retired from congress < n account of 111: health makes people here wonder at his being chosen for a place so arduous as 1 hat which Mr. V, hitne.. i- to vacate. There are &:SQ_yvh spers of a personal in terest held by Mr. Thomas that might dash with the disinterested p rfor m.n « of his duties, and it is .understood that upon these rumors is based the doubt as to wh< -ther someone else may not after all be obfteo in.his place.” iORGI AN’S REPLY South will not Bow to any Threats.” CLEVELAND *AND NICARAUGA BILL. LHE on the mittee on KISSING CLERKS. An Investigation to be Made In Regard to Its Troth. Boston, Feb. 19.—The threatened in. ventilation into affairs as conducted-in th% basement office of the commissioner of provincial laws, at the state house, bids fair to develop some spicy informa tion for the publrd. Abner C. Goodril for some years has filled the important position of the commission in question, and since the present state government I began its reign has been subject to a * sh ady fire from certain quarters, where Uis compilation of the provincial laws appears not to be h ghly appreciated. __ The trouble in tfm, respect Jhowever, has f th iournaL been trilllmr com oared with the lnsinnn. ings. la the Senate—Judge Stew- Mvei a Straight.

C., Feb. 20.—During the debate on the conference rspo t on the direct tax bill in the house, an inter esting. scene occurred. In December last Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, made a speech in which he referred to some r. marks of Judge Ste-vart as to the injustice of re funding ihe d rect tax, but declin ing iO refund the cotton tax, which had been taken from an impove is aed ] eople. Grosvenor made this the pretext for a actional speech, and warned southern gentlemen against ra sin< questions relating to the war. Lui his speech was not publi hed in the Record until ; e terday. Stewart said in reference to Grosvenor a speech: The sou h favors good wil, and frater nity. but will not bow to thi eats. The cond t of the south had gone into his- t ry. an ! thank God the gentleman from Ohio was no the judge to pass upon it. We can safely submit that ma ter to the imiiartial s figment - f mankind, and it is welt f r the gentleman to know that the south does not owe and will not make any apologies, Washington, Feb. 20.—In the senate at the conclusion of the morning hour, the sundry civil bill was taken up.

Adams for wages due for services as one of Mr. Goodell’s clerks. The legislature, within a few days, very quietly provided for the payment of $450 to Miss. Adams in lieu o her claims for remuneration. Miss Adams tells a pitiful story of overwork at $4 a week, nervous break down aud subsequent confinement in an insane asylum. By reason of her treatment and the overwork attendant on her duties as clerk in ( o nmissioner Goodell’s employ, she said she has during the past fifteen months t een an invalid. Last December j sliefpr pared the petition of the legisla ture that site be reimbursed for the period i of her - ickness. For the fifteen mouths ‘ in question, at the rate of $60 per month, she would be entitled to $900, but by the bill re orted she is allowed but one-half of that amount. Miss Adam- last night stated that she had every reason Io believe that her in carceration at the insane asylum was arranged' hy Commissioner* Goo-Jell, with the Sullivan-Felion election case.

Comuiissioner Goodell at the state house ; Scorn’ bis actions toward the clerks was not : ho-figured as the groom, was a fe that expected by ladies. She she worked steadily in the office from December, 1879, to October, 1887, and the commis sioner’s attentions to her were not those expected from a gentleman. She de clined to go much into details for publi cation because she objected to all things of a sensational cliaracter. However, as Mr. Goodell had asked for and investi gation. she hoped the same would be granted him. Under those conditions perhaps, says the Globe, the people at large would learn much concerning the kissing aud hugging carried on in Mr. Goodell’s de partment, as well as possibly in some other departments at the big house on Beacon bill. Berated by Supposed Smallpox. Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 19.—Shortly after the jury to which had been com mitted the decision of a burglary case had been locked up, being'unable to agree, Juror Charles became deathly sick and small blotches appeared on his face. There had been several cases of small pox in the city recently and when one of the jurors suggested smallpox there was the wildest confusion in the jury room and several tried to escape out of the windows. When physicians appeared one of them shook nis head ominously and five of the jurors bolted incontinent ly. The disease was final I v declared to be nettle rash. Lut the runawiv jurors were not to be found, and Judge White was forced to order a new trial of ths case. ^ ~ ' -'’’ u H< n y ( eorge and Tariff Reform.

One day last week both girls, who had been living at home, disappeared. Mire Beall’s father made inquiries, and then discovered the startling relationship that existed between her and Miss Colder. He came to Baltimore and placed the matter in the hands of Marshal 1 rey. _ Mire Beall is good looking and viva cious and her motive in consenting to such a ceremony is a mystery. Miss Colder, it is said. wore, an ulster on the evening of the marriage, and Father Frederick took her to be a man. She is 85 years of age, slim, and wears her hair short. MISERABLE TRAMPS. Hisoock came hure and was sent away snu'ebed. Levi P. Morton came here and had a very pleasant time, but was taken no further into the confidence of the president-elect than any other merely personal friend. Quay came here, made his demand, got what he wanted and then was snubbed off short when he started to talk of other matters In reference to the cabinet. “And against these, just look at the men who have had no share in the work of making the oabinet—Blaine, Ed munds, Sherman.

Lottis, Mo., Feb. 20.—When the wind was blowing fiercely along the river front, two half starved and poorly dressed individuals were seen plodding through the heavy drifts of snow, trying to keep themselves warm by stamping their feet and vigorously working tlieir arms. Their faces, which were nearly frozen, wore pinched and hungry looks, and their toes peeped through badly worn shoes. These poverty-stricken wretches, who had been driven from the dives because they had no money, after considerable trouble managed to reach Locust street. Here they _enscon$ced themselves in a doorway, and looked covetously at a lot of pig’s feet and other cold viands displayed in a lunch house window. One of the men saw a pair of g ioes on a barrel, which "he thought om their looks had been thrown away, and appropriated them to his own use. A minute later both, men were arrested, to the \ SASH, DOOR AND BLINK Proprietors Athens Steam Planing Mills at Northeastern depot. Alio promptly filled and estimates made.

Dobbs Fanny Davenport to Wed. New York, Feb. 20.—The probabilities appear to be strongly in favor of an early marriage ceremony in which Miss Fanny Davenport and Mr. Melbourne McDowell, her leading man, are to be the principals. In an inter\iew Miss Davenport, when asked whether she considered marriage a failure or not, re plied: “I do not consider it a failure any means: on the contrary, I think such a success that I am about to try it again.” There is no date set for the wedding, but it would surprise no one should it occur shortly in case there are no legal technicalities in the way, and it is un derstood these have now been removed.
