The srand jury made its final report for the January session yesterday, also a special report on the Investigation of policy playing In Indianapolis. The jury failed to return any Indictments for lack of sufll clent evidrr.ee, hvjt .submitted the following rprt: "We, the grand jury, make this our report n policy playing- We have had brought before us and examined twenty witnesses. Diligent inquiry and persistent effort has been made to obtain evidence upon which lndictmnts could be based, but the evidence so far obtained Is not fcurtlcb-nt to justify us In returning in dictments. We will continue this investi gation at our next session. We ask that any one that may have any Information on this subject to submit it to us through the Irosccuting attorney." The policy players who were before the grand jury, it Is said, refused to give evi dence against their fellow-players, and refused to give incriminating evidence against themselves. There being no prosecuting or State witnesses the grand Jury was at sea. Prosecutor Ruckel- shaua said last night that he would do all he could to Indict policy play ers, lie .-aid if Marion county em ployed detectives to assist the prosecutor, as Is the systtra In other counties con taining large -cities, he would be in a bet ter position to get at policy players. With out such assistance he said he can only get such evidence as can be obtained by witnesses summoned before the grand jury. The grand jury returned thirteen indict ments and recommended the discharge of Fred Scunlon, the boy charged with shoot ing another in the alky near the Empire Theater, and David Bradford, William Uethel, Elmer Petty, George Meyers, Frank IJell.

If -32 SOCIETY OF HOLY CR055 Tin-: okdi:k i u.ii;i iiy katiihic iii.tim;to ami othlhs. The I.ntter Will nrKln Services at St. DnvM' Chtireh in This City JVext Sunday. Father Huntington, the superior of the Society of Holy Cross, will conduct a series of conferences next week in St. David's Church, Talbott avenue and Twenty-flrst street. He is the son of the well-known Bishop Huntington, of Central New York. It will be remembered that he came here about two years ago and aroused much in terest, not only among members of the church, but also among the members of the various religious -elenomina-tlons represented in this city. A number of business men asked Father Huntington to address them, which he did at a noonday service-. He was formerly at Harvard University, and after having finished his course, was ordained priest and went to work in the slums of New York. where he founded the Church of Holy Cross. He did much goed work during his six years there; but about eleven years ago was led to take up his present work, and aided by the counsel and encouragement of Father Benson, the for mer superior of the Cowley Fathers at Ox ford, England, he, with two other priests set out to found the Society of Holy Cross. They adopted a rule of life based upon that of St. Francis d' Assisi; and a few years ago Father Huntington was chosen su perior. Their mother house is at West minster, Md.. where the community lives in a house given to them by a lady, now deceased. About eighteen months ago the society obtained money with which to buy a large plot of land, about seventy acres, on the Hudson river just above New York; and it Is the intention of the community to build on it a monastery which will be more suited to their needs than the present house, which is a private residence altered as far as possible to suit their purpose. They are now collecting funds to build the new house. The order Is still small in point of numbers, but as is the case with all re ligious orders it must grow slowly if It is to grow strong. Associated with the fathers, but living in the world, are a number of priests known as the "Oblatcs of Mt. Calvary." These take vows, but only for a year at a time. The practical work of th community con sists in holding retreats and missions in parishes to which they are united, and they are thus of very great help In stirring up the spiritual life of the various churches throughout the country; and also in arous ing the carelesu and indifferent to the claims of religion. The home of the community is also open for any clergy who wish to go into re treat, and they have also a number of clergy associated with them, known as "priest associates" that keep a simple rule of life and help on the work of the society with their prayers and sympathy. The Rev. Father Huntington "will preach at St. David's Church, In the morning on Sunday, the 19th inst., at 11 o'clock, and at 2:30 p. m. he will speak to men. He will also preach on Sunday evening, at 8 o'clock. In the afternoon of each week day, till Friday, he will give a con ference to women at 3:30. and every evening he will preach on some: special subject. Strangers will be heartily welcomed at any of these services. OWNERSHIP OF RESIDENCES. Mne Properties Clinne llnnd Dur in; the Day.

He will devote a great deal of attention to this subject and will show the exact location, analysis, output, medicinal qualities and uses to which the water is adapted of all the mineral springs and wells in the State. He says there are about one hundred springs and wells, and they will be treated thoroughly in the re port. The most pretentious springs are at West Baden. French Lick. Trinity Springs and Indian Springs, while there are good wells at Martinsville. Shelbyville, Monte zuma, Spencer and other places. The report will also show the develop ments of the oil industry in Indiana. The average price of oil during the year was s:i.4 cents, against :6.3 cents in 11XW. The discovery of a large amount of oil in Texas had something to do with the decreased prices of Indiana oil during the year, jrhe variation in the price of Indiana oil was also much less than a year ago. The low est price in 1!U was 74 cents and the high est was S'J cents, against 71 cents and $1.21 in W0. Another feature of the report will be a description of the new discoveries of oolitic stone, and the report will give statistical statements of the quarries, showing the output of oolitic stone from Lawrence county to the Ohio river.

To tlie Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: All that your correspondent, "Lawyer," says about the fitness of Judge Allen for the office of circuit judge is true. A better man for the place cannot be found, but there are scores of us equally, or nearly equally, good, who want a chance at it. Some of us are hard up, while Judge Allen is rich, and we want a chance. We are willing in advance to stipulate for one term only. Though but one of us can get it. If we can got him out of the way our several c!iances will be better. We believe in rotation in office, notwithstanding one term ?trves to lit a progressive man for better service in the second or third term.

Th'.s name must appear on every box of the genuine Laxative Hromo-Quininc Tab lets, the celebrated Cold and Grip Cure. 25c. Probably the most remarkable political campaign in the history of the country originated in this city sixty-two years ago to-day. The streets of the straggling little country town were jammed with homespun clad, bootel Hoosiers, who paraded, car rying miniature log cabins and cheering themselves hoarse for General William Henry Harrison. It was just sixty-two years ago that the "lo.i cabin" campaign started in a burst of State enthusiasm for the hero of the Indian war and ended later in a wave of patriotic fervor placing the first cf the distinguished Indiana Har risons in the White House. General John Coburn at that time was a boy fifteen years of age, still construing Latin atid working out the rule of three. To him the gathering of the enthusiastic Whig was replete with possibilities for enjoyment, and at the mass meeting at the old Statehousa he was a small but intensely interested figure. The old-time Indiana Whig leaders, who came to further the cause of Harrison; the brilliant seeches, full of the florid oratory of the days before the war, are remembered distinctly by General Coburn. loiter in life, when he went into the army, he fought shoulder to shoulder with some of the men whom he had heard talk in the convention of Jan. 16, 1S40. Of the convention and the men who took part in it General Coburn said yesterday: "The memorable campaign made in the year 1S40 by the Whig party of Indiana was inaugurated on this day sixty-two years ago In this city, then a town of some five or six thousand people. The delegates came from all parts of the Stale over the muddiest kinds of roads in great numbers. The name of General William Henry Harrison, the hero of Tippecanoe, was on the Hps of all; it was the watch word, lie had been defeated in 1S36. but the defeat only aroused the ardor of his friends in Indiana. "At that time the whole Nation was struggling under a load financial disaster. Through the folly of Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren the currency of the Nation was in a fearful condition. The United States Bank was broken and Stale. and local banks were without standing and credit. The works of the internal im provement system, from which so much had been expected, were unfinished in a great measure and there was little demand for labor. Produce brought only very low prices. Hard times prevailed and povcrty stared thousands of people in the face. "A change of public policy was demand eel on all sides and the Whigs came to the front with a promise of a better cur rencv and higher prices for labor under a tariff svstem. Led by Clay and Webster in Congress they prophesied and promised better times. The convention held in this city at that time was at an auspicious period for General Harrison. STAR POLITICAL ORATORS. "Thousands of people assembled here, led by as distinguished a corps of orators as ever met at the capitol. From the eastern part of the State came James Raridon, Caleb B. Smith. Samuel M. Parker. David Kilgore, George II. Dunn, Jonathan Mc carty, Samuel Bigger and Pleasant A. Hackleman. From the south. Joseph G. Marshall, James F. D. Lanier, Jeremiah Sullivan, Joseph L. White, John Vawter. Marston G. Clarke, William Herod. Fabius M. Finch, James A. Cravens and Richard Thompson. The- southwest sent such men as Samuel Judah, Samuel Hall, George G. Dunn, David McDonald. John A. Bracken ridge, Seth Leavenworth and William A. Porter. From the west eame Samuel B. Gooklns. John P. Usher, Daniel Rousseau, Hugh Livingston. George W. Steele, Josephus Collett. Henry S. Lane. John Beard, Robert C. Gregory, William F. Rey nolds. From the North came John B. Niks. Joseph L. Jernegan. David D. Pratt. Horace P. Riddle. Albert L. Holmes, Daniel R. Bearss. Samuel Hinnah and Samue-I L?Tl3. The center of the State furnished Noah Noble, David Wallace, Phinips Sweetser. Hugh O'Neal. William Ouarles, Samuel Brenton and Thomas D. Waljo!e. All these wore men of power at home and in the State at large. Many of them in later years became distinguished in let ters, the law and In military life. They were all of them men that Indianians can mention in an assembly with pride. "The hallsa of the old statehouse could not hold the crowds. The assembly was out of doors under the wintry sky. Samutl Judah presided and his opening speech was one of point and power. The orator who followed Mr. Judah was Joseph L. White. then of Madison, afterwarels one of the foremost legal figures in New York'cityj and a friend of the Vanderbilt family. White's life furnished the plot for a splen did novel. It is sufficient to say that he met his death in the streets of Nicaragua, stabbed to the heart by a Spaniard, who, he claimed, had insulted him. He was not one of your pound-the-table orators; rather he led his audience quietly but so irre sistibly that no speech of his ever failed to attain the object of the speaker. "To digress a little from the story of the convention, White made the following summer in this city one of the most re markable speeches that any man ever made. It was full of singular prophesy. In it he answered the sneers of the Dem ocrats, who had laughed at Harrison be cause he was a poor man and had lived in a rough hewn log cabin. 'That,' he declared, 'was an Insult to the old hero who had retired to his farm after a glorious war, unable to meet the costly requirements of life in the city. He had no means to build a stylish house and like a sensible man and a good American he took what he could get and lived in a log cabin. TROPHECY THAT CAME TRUE. . "When the fact is considered that at that time Benjamin Harrison and James A. Gar field were babes in humble homes, the fol lowing sentences of the orator were singu larly prophetic: 'I have no doubt that at this very hour the wind is whispering through the chinks of some log cabin in the wilds of this Western land and is ruffling the curls upon tho brow of some future President of these United States.' "To continue the story of the convention, while White was making his speech a large life-size oil portrait of George Washington was brought into the hall amid cheers and carried to the platform. As it was put into place White, with characteristic Intuition, turned to it and with impassioned phrases called upon the spirit of the father of his country to inspire the gTeat assembly. To attempt to describe the scene that followed is impossible. The passing of more than sixty years has not been able to remove the picture of the wildly-excited crowd. "All through the day and evening speeches of great eloquence and power were made. Along Washington street in the evening there was a long parade. The principal feature of it was a poplar canoe big enough to hold forty people. It had been carried all the way from Ripley coun ty by friends of the old general. The canoe represented to the people the homely vir tues and the spirit of combat with the wil derness, of which General Harrison was the most distinguished representative, and it made a great 'hit.' "The Harrison campaign of 1840 was thus inaugurated. The enthusiasm spread from State to State. Kentucky and Ohio were soon ablaze, and when the great Tippe canoe Battle Ground convention was held, in June, famous men came from the East, West and South to see what it all meant. They returned to their homes inspired with the same spirit of enthuslasmsfor the old pioneer and Indian fighter. Erastus Brooks, of the New York Press, went home full of the ardor of the West, and in an article in his paper headed 'The Prairies Are On Fire' told of the vast convention on the battle ground. "The great result of it all was that Har rison was elected by an immense majority but died within sixty days after his inau guration. The Whig party was then balked and defeated by the treachery of John Ty ler, who rejected the platform and drifted off under the influence of his bitterest foes in the memorable campaign. History never recorded a more remarkable instance of political treachery. Tyler was a propa gandist of slavery in its worst form and a disciple of John C. Calhoun. He only un masked himself after his inauguration as President." 17 Inithnity StntlMlcM. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: I read with interest the report of Secre tary Amos W. Butler regarding the in crease of insanity in Indiana. I wish to point out one error, and that is that twenty years ago there was not a single private Institution for insane in Indiana and but two in any adjoining State not more than six in the United State. Now there are a dozen or more institutions In Indiana, about thirty in adjoining States and nearly four hundred in the United States, where insane persons are received for treatment. My own sanatorium is small, yet In the year past 101 patients were received; sixty-two could not .be taken and went elsewhere. I have no rea son to think Dr. Sterne received a less number, the Union State Hospital like wise, and there are four other private hos pitals who pretend to do other work, but in reality do receive a number of insane patients. From the best Information I can get there are from ten to twelve hundred insane persons in the State not taLulated. To prevent this statistical errcjr and many more serious ones our law should prohibit, as In Illinois, the removal of insane per sons from the State without having been committed as insane. No persetn not au thorized by license should be permitted to keep the insane, and all so-called private hospitals and Sanatoriums should report monthly to the Board of State Charities and be subject to the same Inspection as public institutions.
