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. MR. HENDRICKS’ CAREER. .

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. # MU§itAL AND raAMATtcT Lawrence Barrett will write a biogra phy of the late John McCullough.

Pears, apples, and other fruits are reduced to a paste, which is then pressed into cakes and gently dried. When required for use it is only necessary to pour four times theii weight of boiling water over them, and allow tuem to soak for twenty minutes, and then add sugar to suit the taste. The fine flavor of the fruit is said to be re tained to perfection. The cost of the prepared product is scarcely greater thau that of the original fruit, differing with the supply and price of the latter; the keeping qualities are excellent, so that it may be had at any time of the year, and bears sea voyages with out detriment.

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 year, afid a, reduction of 28 m the clerical .force of the bureau. * ;.The whole number of grain distilleries, regisjt.er'ed during the past year was 1,195, of I whldb nqntSer only 91<s were operated, being | a deereAa« Rtortv-sixAGthe lumber ifcgis- B tered andr </ 160 in the number operated r ! during the previous fiscal year. 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. Pension Statistics. FIGURED FROM THE ANNUAL REPORT OF COMMIMONES BLACK. General John C. Black, commissioner of pensions, in his annual report says there were j at the close of the put fiscal year 345,- [ 125 pensioners; during the year there were added 35,788 new names and 1,835 reinstatements; during the . same period the names of 15,233 pension sioners were dropped from the roll for va ! rious causes, leaving a net increase of 22,869. j The average annual value of each at the close ! of toe year is $110,36, and the aggregate an nual value of all pension* » $389)90,tet5.

THE SALE OF LIQUOR TO BE STOP- PED IN FULTON COUNTY, ®A. 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.
