THOS. J. HENDRICKS DEAD,
fiK DIES SCDDEXLT AV HIS HOMI
IN INDIANA.
The Nation Grieving ever the Death es Iti
Vice-President.
..z’k
Mr. Hendricks died Wednesday afternoon at
5 p. m., under circumstances that were partic
ularly distressing to his family and friends, in
somuch as they had not anticipated a fata)
termination of his brief illness, and nobody
was with him when the end came. He returned
from Chicago Saturday last, and since then
bad been complaining somewhat of a pain in
his head and breast, but nothing serious was
thought of it. Last night he and Mrs. Hen
dricks attended a reception given at the resi
dence of the Hon. John Cooper, treasurer ol
the State, returning home in their carriage
4bout midnight. Mr. Hendricks had taken off
the heavy clothing which he usually wore and
put on a diess suit of lighter material, and be
fore he got home hs complained of chilliness
iqd a certain degree of exhaustion, but attri
buted it to malarial influences. He sat by th*
li re for an hour or more before retiring, bul
iecliued to send for a physician, although
urged to do so. He slept restlessly until about
3 o’clock the following morning, when he arose,
dressed himself and ate quite a hearty break
i.tat, saying that he felt much better, and;
would attend to considerable delayed business ,
during the day. He and Mrs. Hendricks walk
ed out for. mjar’y.wf a.\ho^.- > aml-yjfe* aypar ’
'••fitly regained his physical vigor and cheerful
ness. An hour later, however, he began to be '
troubled with pains in the region of the sto- '
utach, and Mrs. Hendricks sent for the family i
physician. Dr. W. C. Thompson, who relieved
uis pain. He arose from tna bed, in which he 1
had lain only a few minutes, and read the '
morning papers, talking cheerfully with his I
wife and an old bouse servant. Just before
noon he had a relapse, however,and a physician
was again summoned and adminis- i
tered the usual remedies, besides bit eding the j
patient, and Mr. Hendricks again expressed '
himself as being greatly relieved. He re
mained in his room all the afternoon,occasi m
sliy rising from his bed, to which he was com
pelled to return by the recurrence of the ab
tiomirial pains. To all callers who came, and
they were numerous, he sent word that he was
indisposed, but would gladly see them to-mor
row. About 4.30 o’clock Mrs. Hendricks, who
had been at his bedside all day, went down in
to the parlor to see a caller, who had come to
consult with her regarding the affairs of a re
formatory institution, of which she was one of
the managers, and she remained with him I
about twenty minutes.
THE HOUB Or DEATH.
Tom, a colored servant, and Harry Morgan,
Hendricks' nephew and page in Washington, ,
remained with him. The servant went out and
Morgan stayed. Hendricks tossed uneasily in
his bed and complained of great pain, but sud
denly it seemed to cease, and he said to his
nephew;
■‘l am free at last, send for Elias,” (meaning
his wife).
These were his last words, for the young
man, not realizing the urgency of the message,
did not deliver it at once. Just before five
o’clock Mrs. Hendricks came into the room and
found that her hu»l»and was dead. The end of
a long and eventful life had come peacefully
Mid quietly. He lay on the bed outside of the
covering, only partially disrobed, with his eyes
half Closed as it he were iu a gentle sleep. On
his face there were no traces of grief or suffer- i
ing. but the pallor had come over it indicating
only too plainly that he had passed away. It I
needed uo close examination to tell that he was
dead, and Mrs. Hendricks screamed and ran i
down stairs. A servant was dispatched to the
residence of Dr. Thompson, adjoining, and he •
came immediately, but by the time he had
reached the bedside, the limbe of the distm- :
guished man were becoming cold and rigid, ;
and to Mr*. Hendricks’ pathetic appeal, “Oh 1 i
Doctor, can't you d> something?*’ he wa«
obliged to answer ; “It is too late.”
the cause or death.
Dr. Thompson says that in his opinion Mr. ,
Hendricks died of paralysis of the brain, and
there will probably be a postmortem examina
tion to establish what the disease was.

ity made mm a prominent candidate tor the
presidency as far back as 1868, and in the
convention of that year he at one time led all
the other aspirants, receiving the solid vote of
the States of New York, Indiana, Minnesota,
and other States in the great Northwest.
Ohio, however, threw her vote and influence
for Horatio Seymour, and caused a stamfiede,
which resultei in Mr. Seymour’s nomination.
Shortly afterward he was made the candh 3
date of his party for governor of Indiana,
and, after a most exciting campaign, in which
he engaged in a joint debate with his oppo
nent, Conrad Baker, he was defeated by a
plurality of 942 votes. After the election of
1872. and before the {nesting of the electoral
college, Horace Grserey,' the standard bearer
of the Democracy, died. When the electors
met Mr. Hendricks received forty-two out of
the sixty-three to which his party ware en
titled.
At the Democratic National convention in
St Louis in 1871) which nominated Mr. Tilden
for President, Mr. Hendricks was nominated
for the office of Vice-President on the first
ballot Ih the election of that year Tilden
and Hendricks received 4,284,885 popular
votes to 4.033,950 cast for Hayes and Wheel
er. The electoral votes of Florida, Louisi
ana, South Carolina and Oregon were dis
puted. The story of the formation of the
electoral Commission, and its decision by a
vote or eight to seven in favor of Hayes and
Wheeler, is too well known to require repeti
tion here. Mr. Hendricks returned once more
to his law 1 ra rtice in Indianapolis, his firm
now becoming Baker, Hendricks, Hord &
Hendricks. Conrad Baker, the Vice-Presi
ent’s old political opponent, was a member .
of the firm.
Mr. Hendricks was again a candidate for
the Presidency in 1880, but the nomina
tion was given to General Hancock. Mr.
Hendricks opened the campaign in behalf of
Hancock and English in Marion, Ind., on
August 12. 1880, and worked actively for
them during the rest of the campaign.
In 1884 the Democratic National conven
tion met in Chicago, Mr. Hendricks for the
first time attending it as a delegate. He
placed the name of Senator McDonald before
the convention as a candidate for the presi
den y, but on the second ballot received him
self the votes of all the Indiana delegates ex
cept his own. Governor Cleveland, however,
had more supporters in the convention than
Mr. Hendricks, and received the nomination
tor President When the convention was
ready to nominations tor vice
presidency Mr. Wallace, Pennsylvania, arose
and presented Mr. Hendricks's name.
Governor Waller, of Connecticut, Gov
ernor Hubbard of Texas, and other
prominent delegates supported the
nomination, and upon the roll
call, every vote of the delegation was cast
for him. The enthusiasm of the convention
was great, and finally all present joined in
singing “Old Hundred” as the only means of
giving it expression.
On the 4th of March Vice’’resident Hen
dneki was sworn into offico. He occupied
his chair as president of the Senate during
the session of that body called to take action
on President Cleveland’s ’dominations. Since
the adjournment es the Senate the Vice-
President has spent summer, as was his
custom, in Indianapolis and Ssratoga. #

r»
a Falling Off of More than Nine Million
Dollars in the Returns-
The annual report of the Hon. Joseph S-
Miller, commissioner of internal revenue,
shows that the total receipts from all sources
of internal revenue taxation for the fiscal
year ended June 30,1885, were 8112,421,121,
as compared with 8121,590,039 for the year
1884. 8144,553,344 for the year 1883,
and for the year 1882. It was
estimated that the receipts for the last fiscal
year would be about 8115,000,000, ard that
they fell over s2,ooo,oooshort of theestimate,
the commissioner says, resulted from the
seven months' extension allowed for the ex
; portation of distilled spirits in bond, on which
the tax was tue.
A table giving the receipts during the last
two fiscal years, shows that there is a de
crease of $9,394,177 in the collections on
spirits, and an increase of 8334,688
on tobacco, an increase of $145,-
827 on fermented liquors, and an in
. crease of ' -524,558 from banks and
bankers. The total decrease was $9,168,919.
The largest collections were made in the
State of Illinois, amounting to $23,075,865; •
Kentucky second, with $14,842,475; New
York third, with $13,823,645; Ohio fourth,
with $12,565,516; Pennsylvania fifth, with
$7,371,209; Missouri sixth, with $5,276,165,
and Indiana seventh, with $4,031,866. The
smallest collection was made in Vermont,
amounting to $29,890. The total receipts
for the first quarter of the present
fiscal year were $28,670,749, being an increase
of $23,866 over those of the corresponding
period of last year. The cost of collection for
the present fiscal year was $4,455,430, against
$5,076,914 for the previous year. The total
expenses of the service during the past year
were about3.9 per cent of the amount col
lected. ji
Six hundred and twenty-four violations of
internal revenue law have been reported by
revenue agents during the year, 234 persom
have been arrested on their information,
property to the value of $171,052 has been re
ported by them for seizure, and $52,869 for
for unpaid taxes and penal
ties. Tl.e - commissioner recom
mends an increase in the num-
bers of revenue agents. He says the
3’esent force, twenty in number, is insutfi
ent for the important work required ol
them. The estimated expenses of the revenue
service foi* the next fiscal year are $4,619,190.
Thera-was a reduction of force of
storekeepers, guagers, ete.vd.iMng the past

The commissioner recommends legislator
I having for its object the taxing of all trac
' tions of a gallon of distilled spirits, and says
i that the operation of the present system
of taxation has resulted in the loss
• of a very appreciable amount of rev
enue. He adds that the plan has
■ been adopted at several large distilleries ol
’ substituting packages of ten gallons capacity
; and upward in place of the spirit barrel of
ordinary size, for the sole purpose, apparent
, ly, of obtaining the benefit of the untaxed
fraction as frequently as possible.
The commissioner also recommends that
• Uie provisions of th? act of March 3, 1877,
under which grape brandy producers are af
forded the advantages of three years’ storage
i of their product in special bonded ware
houses, which are authorized to be established
■ for that purpose, be made applicable to
i distillers ol brandy from all fruits.
I The quantity of spirits (74,915,363 gallons
produced and deposited in distillery ware
houses during the year is less than the nro
duction (75,435,739) gallons) of the previous
year by 520,876 gallons. The quantity
spirits (67,649,321 gallons) withdrawn tax
paid from distillery warehouses during
the year is less than the quantity
■ (78,342,474 gallons) withdrawn during the
! previous year by 10,692,153 gallons.
The commissioner recommends that the
■ office of inspector of tobacco be abolished,
and that his duties be devolved upon the col
i lectors of the districts, and that the exporta
tions be made under such regulations as the
commissioner of internal revenue, with the
approval of the secretary of the treasury,
may prescribe. He explains that
these inspectors are the only
officers now in the internal revenue s -rvice
who are paid by the citizens for whom the
duty prescribed is performed. When the
office was crated the payment of tobacco
taxes by stamps had not been devised, and
the duties of inspectors were accordingly
much more extensive than now.
The commissioner says that the decrease of
nearly ten million gallons in the quantity of
spirits virtually withdrawn from distillery
. warehouses for consumption is largely due
to the operation of the internal revenue laws,
: especially of those laws arbitrarily limiting
the time witbin which spirits must be with
, drawn without reference to the demands of
. trade.

Intense Excitement in Atlanta—A Large
Vote Polled—Majority only 216.
The most remarkable campaign ever wageo
in Atlanta was closed Wednesday evening.
Persons living outside of the city cannot- ap
preciate the pitch to which the excitement was
carried. It was literally a craze on both sidet
and the gravest apprehensions were entertained
of disorders at the polls. Atlanta's usual good
sense prevailed and the election was orderly to
a degree. Praise is due to the leaders of both
sides, and to a vast majority of the voters for
this result. Disorderly inclinations, or violent
impulses on the part of the votaries of either
side, unless properly managed, would have re
sulted in disasters. There was, however, gen
eral good humor prevailing, and the red and
blue sandwitched in the line, voted with noth
ing more than pleasant chatting here and there.
There was victory in the air for the prohi
bitionists in the morning. They rapidly re
covered the loss they started with at the court
house, and up to 11 o’clock held the advantage
they started with at the engine house. They
were buoyant and had the hurah up to about
noon. Ihe anti’s then appeared to be getting
in their work aud reports from the country
districts were discouraging to the prohibition
istr They fought a game but losing fight un
til the close of the engine house polls at three
o’clock, when they revived things" somewhat by
a grand parade of perhaps 500 blue lodges in
line to the coiu thouse where there was still
three hours’ work to do.
The country precincts were not heard from
reliably until about 4 o’clock. The prohibition
ists counted on 400 country majority, but were
alarmed ever repor's from Cook’s,where it was
said there was sure to be 500 anti majority.
When North Peachtree came in with 116 ma
jority and West End with 313, they felt bet
ter. They lost Buckhead by about what they
expected, and when it was reported officially
that Cook’s had only given 216 anti majority
they recovered their buoyancy and again
claimed the out-o.'-town precincts by over 500.
Adamsville was nearly balanced by Oak Grove,
and Collins gave its small majority. To this
was added 203 from South Bend at a late hour,
which about justified their claims and brought
them into the city with a clean 500 vote to the
fore. #
It was 10.13 o’clock when the last vote had
been counted. ‘ The doors of the managers,
room were then thrown • open and it was an
nounced that the prohibitionists had a net ma
jority of 216 votes. By, that margin Fultori
county had declared for prohibition. There
were rousing shouts and songs as the figures
were called. The crowd theu rapidly dispersed.
The prohibitionists formed a procession that
seemed endless and marched to their head
quarters with thunders of applause. And the
unexampled prohibition eampugn was over.

The execution of the eight Indians found
guilty of murder at Frog Lake and Battleford,
occurred at 8:27 o'clock Friday morning. The
gallows were worked without friction.
The government authorities permitted the
savages from reserves distant ten to fifteen
miles from Battieboro post to be present at the
execution, and all night clusters of brave*
hung about the stores and camped out in the
open ground in the vicinity of the barracks of
the mounted police. Cainp fires jit up the
prairie, and the comrades of the warriors to be
•xecuted could be beard chanting the deatu
songs of their tribes. The gallows s.ood out
iu bold relief, having been placed near the mil
itary post, in the open v.ew, to enable the late
warr.ng savages to witness the death penalties
passed tip m their leaders. None of the prisen
-rs displayed any unusual signs of txcitement,
out remained a oical up to tue hour of their
appearauc..- on the scaffold.
At 7.30 o’clock each man was pinioned and
guarded on either side, was marched to the

Then toe savages begun to chaut their death
song, to show that they did not Rar death. The
chanting of the savages cuntinned even »>te
the white caps had been adjusted, and in tm
midst of their song, the bolt was drawn and a*J
fell together, every one apparently dying in-
I stautly. After hanging fifteen minutes the
bodies were cut down and placed in coffins and
handed over to the coroner and jury. All toe
arrangements Lad been calculated with precis
