FROM NAVY TO THE PULPIT
Venerable Dr. Gillett Ends a Career of
Faithfulness to Country and God."
One of the Fathers of Methodism Whose Kind
ly Teachings and Strong Pevotion Are Re
membered by Tliousan ds of His Church.
Kev. Samuel T. Gillett. D. D., almost the
last of the fathers of Methodism in Indiana,
died at 'his residence, No. 1S8 Massachu
setts avenue, at 9 (O'clock yesterday morn
ing, the immediate causo of his death
being a severe cold, from which he might
have rallied had he not been enfeebled by
hia extreme age. He was born near
Earlville, Madison county, New York, Feb.
19, 1809, and was nearly eighty-one years
old. His father, who was a man of consid
erable means, had engaged in various man
ufacturing enterprises and having, by the
payment of seenrity debts, lost his means,
emigrated in 1817 to the West. This was
before the days of steam navigation, and
constructing a flatboat, ho took his fami
ly down the Ohio river to the
mouth of tho Wabash. Up this last
named stream the boat was pro
pelled by corbeling to Fort Harrison,
about four miles above the site of tho pres
sent city of Terro Haut. The fort had
lately been abandoned by the troops, and
the country was filled with Indians. That
he might at once ingratiate himself in the
favor of the' red men, Mr. Gillett, warm
with his labor, sprang on shore in his shirt
sleeves to greet them. He was cordially
received, but the cold he then took by his
imprudence resulted in his death a few days
later..
The widow, with her children, took up
their residence in the fort, but, as serious
sickness broke out, the family moved to a
cabin on Kaccoon creek, near the present
site of Kockville, in Parke county.
Here the little family had Indians
all around them, and Dr. Gil
lette, then eight years old, years
after recalled these wild scenes of his
youth. Tho Doctor's oldest brother (half
brother). Napoleon B. Palnior. who was
then living at Madison, came and took the
family to his home. There young Gillett .
resided until in 1SJ0; when he wasappointed
to the United States navy as a midshipman
by President Jackson. This was tho first
appointment to the United States navy
made from the State of Indiana. Early in
1&27, in obedience to orders, he reported at
New York, and was assigned to the warship
Lexington, on which he made a cruise of
three yeara and six months in the Mediter
ranean. After performing some shore duty
he was cited with his class for
examination. There wero sixty members
in this class, and many of them
afterwards attained great distinction.
Among tho most eminent were those who
were afterwards Admirals Uahlgren, Glis
sou, Kowan and Boggs. of the federal
navy, and Kaphael Semmes, who was cap
tain of tho famous Alabama.
The examining board was in session two
months, and at its close placed the name of
Samuel T. Gillett at the head of the list,
that of Kaphael Semmes coming second.
Young Gillctt's success was none the less
gratifying bocause the officers from the
Eastern States a Hoc ted to believe that tho
young men who came from the West could
not compete with them in what was
deemed necessary to make thorough
seamen. After the examination one
of tho examining board swore that
young Gillett was tho best sailor with
whom he had ever talked. After a fur
lough and some duty at Pensacola navy
yard, he was ordered to report to the ship
Delaware, a seventy-four man-of-war. one
of the most powerful vessels of her dav. In
this he made a second cruise in the Medi
terranean, and visited Egypt and the Holy
Land. Lieutenant Gillett was much in
terested in scenes in the Holy Land. He
had been reared by a pious mother,
a member of the Baptist Church, uud
had from his boyhood an acquaintance
with the Scriptures, though he had no ser
ious religions impressions. He visited the
reputed tomb of the Savior, and this left
upon Ins memory a scene that was never
eliaced.
Having returned to the United States, he
was, at the special request of Indiana Sen
ators and members of Congress, given a
special furlough to give his services to tho
survey of the first railroad built in this
State, that from Madison to Indianapolis.
In 1831 he was married, at Madison, to Miss
Harriet A. Good. He had begun to think
deeply upon religious subjects, and, becom
ing converted, he joined the Methodist
Episcopal Church. With a strong convic
tion that it was his duty to preach the gos
pel, he resigned his commission as a lieu
tenant, and in 1837 entered the Indiana
Conference. His first appointment was to
the Lawrenceburg circuit, since which
time lie has received appointments to
some of the most important charges
in this State, among which may
be mentioned churches at Terre Haute,
Brookville, Greensburg, Evansville, New
Albany, and four appointments in Indian
apolis, which ineludod all of the largest
churches. He also held tho presiding
eldership of a number of districts in the
State.
His only continuous work in the pulpit
outside of Indiana was when ho was ap
pointed by President Tyler, without his
solicitation, a chaplain in the United States
navy, and assigned to the navy-yard at
Brooklyn, N. Y. Finding this work not to
be as fruitful in results aa his earnest
ness led htm to desire, he resigned,
after a few mouths, and resumed the
circuit-rider's saddle-bags. Other fields of
lubor were frequently presented to him,
among which may be mentioned the presi
dency of Whitewater College, Fort Wayne
Female Collegoand other educational in
stitutions, which he declined. In 1SGG, the
centennial of Methodism in America, he
was appointed centennial agent, and with
his associates in the work raised a hand
some sum for benevolent and educational
interests of the church. He has sustained
6uperanuated relations to his conference
for the past eight years.
Dr. Gillett was a man of unusual vigor of
intellect. To whatever his attention was
turned ho devoted himself with the utmost
fidelity, whether in the pulpit or in busi
ness. In social life he was an ornament to
the moat intellectual and relined circles. In
the pulpit he was one of the clearest
and most instructive of preachers. This
mental clearness continued with him to
within five minutes of his death. His last
statement was to quote from Paul: "I
know in whom I have believed, aud am
persuaded that He is able to keep that
which 1 havo committed unto Him against
that day. I have fought a good tight. I
have kept the faith." Shortly before his
death be called his oldest son to his bed
side and said: "It is a poor doctrine that
teaches a man's eternal destiny depends
upon whether he is clear or clouded when
he dies. I am going home to die no more."
Dr. Gillett bad a voice of wonder
fni clearness r.ud beauty. Its bell
liko melody in his old age was a
never-ending subject of remark among
those who heard him in prayer. He leaves
a widow and three sons. The oldest Ron.
Philip G. Gillett, LL. D., is superintendent
of the Illinois institution, at Jacksonville,
for the education of the deaf and dumb.
Another son is Capt. Simeon P. Gillett, late
of the United States navy, now of Danville,
111., and a third is Dr. Omer T. Gillett. of
Colorado Springs. CoL, who for four years
tifist has beon unable to sit, stand or walk.
His second son. Francis Gillett. a paymas
ter in the United States navy, died at Kio
Janeiro, in 1878, of yellow fever.
The funeral services will be held at Rob
erts Park M. E. Church, to-morrow, at
2 v. M.,nnder tho direction of Kev. Dr. Van
Anda. Kev. Henry Dav, D. D.. of this city,
and Kev. John H. Hull, of Danville, will
tako part by request of Dr. Gillett. The
Tippecanoe Club, of which he was a mem
ber, will meet at the Mayor's court to-morrow,
at 1 r. M., and march in a body to tho
l.tto residence of the deceased, and from
there escort the body to the church.
Trouble In Collecting Fees.
City Clerk Swift is having some difficulty
in collecting licenso fees. Out of the J00
hucksters that sell on the streets of the
city, not half have registered, and only
twenty-four peddlers have taken out
licences. There are seventy-five or more
of tho latter doing business in the city.

A coal-oil lamp, sitting ou a stand in tho

however, will have a crippled hand for life.
NEW EVIDENCE AGAINST ASZHAN.
There Was an Eye-Witness to the Killing of
Bertha Elff The .Murderer s Knife.
There were two new features in the Asz
man case yesterday which may prove of
benefit to the State if an attempt is niado
to have the verdict of tho jury reversed by
the Supreme Court. The first was the dis
covery of an eye-witness who was but a
few feet from Aszman when the murder
occurred, and whose name and address are
known to the prosecuting attorney. That
official had an interview with the man yes
terday, and the light he shed upon some of
the details of the crime further strengthen
the fact that the killing was deliberately
done. 'I was walking right behind the
couple," ho said, "but they did not know I
was near. We had just passed
Thirteenth street when I heard
them quarreling, and a little further
on I noticed the man stepped back of the
woman for a moment. He put his hand into
his pocket, and before the girl could turn
to see what he was doing, he cut her throat
with one slash. As the girl fell he turned
and started to run back, but I was within
a few feet of him, so he stopped. Vhat
havo you done!' I asked, but received no
reply. Before I could repeat the question
he drew the knife across his own throat
and fell backward. I went at once to the
girl, for I could see she was suffering.
When I reached her sha asked me for
some water, and I started off to see
if 1 could find a welL I was return
ing with a cup in my hand, when t
saw two men- coming toward me
in a buggy. I did not know what to do for
a moment, but finally I decided it would be
best to leave, and I did. I had not seen
whether the man escaped or not after he
cut his throat, and I thought perhaps it
would make me trouble to be found there
alone with a murdered woman. That's the
reason I have not said anything until
now.
Unexpectedly to all parties concerned,
the knife with which Aszman killed his
victim was found yesterday. When Prose
cutor Mitchell tirst began to investigate
the cass he made inquiries as to what dis-
Eosition had been made of the knife,
ut he lost all trace of it after
it was seen lying on the ground
by Aszman's side. The police officers could
not remember what had been done with it
Yesterday Dr. Oliver, superintendent of the
City Hospital, incidentally remarked to the
State's attorney that the Aszman murder
had furnished him a good knife, and it
afterward proved that the knife referred to
was the same which Aszman had used.
When he was removed to tho hospital tho
knife was taken from him. It is a commou
pocket-knife, with a long blade, which
then bore the marks of having been whetted
to a keen edge. When it was found
at the hospital on Aszman it was covered
with blood, and after cleaning it Dr. Oliver
put it into his pocket. Even when, he was
on the witness-stand he had it with him.
but said nothing about having taken or
seen the knife. Prosecuting Attorney
Mitchell says that the marks of the whet
stone would naturally lead to the inference
that Aszman had fully prepared for the
deed, and if another trial is had the knife
will be produced as testimony.
Aszman spent the entire day yesterday in
the company of his mother. No visitors
were admitted to the jail to see him, except
the attorneys in the case and reporters.
The condemned man was quieter than he
had been since his trial ended, although
he talked but little. His father, who is a
well-to-do dry-goods merchant at Cincin
nati, has not been to see hira since his ar
rest, and it is said that he has refused to
aid him further on account of his excessive
dissipations in the past.

HO HE FOR FRIENDLESS WOMEN.
The Great Good That Institution la Doing in
an Unotentatiou3 Way.
The annual meeting of the Homt for
Friendless Women was held at the parlors
of the Y. M. C. A. yesterday afternoon. Col.
Samuel Merrill, secretary of the associa
tion read the report of the last meeting,
and, after that, tho board of managers pre
sented the following report:
The Ilome for Friendless Women was incorpo
rated twenty-three years ago. The beneficent
work of this Institution has steadily increased,
and no year since its organization has demon
strated the importance of Its mission more than
the record of the past year. The number of per
sons received and cared for, a total of
615, was larger tban that of any previous
year. The building fcjnow occupied toitsfull
capacity. The good t bat has been done In re
ceiving the unfortunate and friendless, and sav
ing them to an honorable and happy life cannot
be told. An unusual amount of repairs on tho
house and premises have been made, which are
of a substantial character; these repairs hare
been secured by the most economical manage
ment. ,
The public have shown their appreciation of
the humane work of the Home by their generous
support, and donations havo been larger than
usual.
Tho devoted matron, Mrs. Bullitt, furnishes the
following itemized account of work done by the
Home during the past yean
Women and girls admitted 502

The matron adds that "one hundred and twen
ty yards of rag carpet were made by tt in
mates at a cost of 21 cents rer yard. Al jut
$200 was saved to the Home by the products of
the garden, aU the work except the ploughing
beinff done by the girls in the institution. The
health of tne inmates has been pood, and the
large family has always been easily managed.
Those who leave confess they have learned les
sons they will never forget." The year has been
one of busy toil and perptoxlng caro; It has, how
ever, brought rich reward in the lives it has
saved, in the hope and happiness that have come
to many sad, despairing hearts through their
Christian charity.
In accordance with a vote passed at the last
meeting, the association herein expresses its
high appreciation of the valuable services of the

GUN FOUNDRY AT THE ARSENAL.
Representative Cheadle Presents a Bill Pro
viding for Such an Establishment.
In Congress, yesterday, Representative
Cheadle introduced a bill appropriating
SoOO.000 for the construction, on the ground
now occupied by the United States Arsenal
at Indianapolis, of a gnu foundry, for the
manufacture and assembling of ordnance
for the army. The bill authorizes the Pres
ident to appoint a board, to be composed of
three officers of the army, who shall visit
the arsenal and make estimates and plans
for buildings and machinery for a foundry,
and after the report has been approved by
the President the work is to be commenced.
This measure wiil harmonize with tho re
cent recommendations of Major Comly.
commander of the Indianapolis arsenal,
who has recommended to the War Depart
ment an appropriation for the purpose of
improving the store-house, grounds, etc.,
and his recommendations have been in
dorsed by the Secretary of War. and will
be sent to Congress for oppropriations.
Speaking to the Journal correspondent,
yesterday afternoon, in relation to his bill,
Mr. Cheadle said: "I havo already re
ceived encouraging suggestions from mem
bers in the House with whom I have talked
concerning the bill. I expect considerable
opposition from the finicky economists,
and especially the picayune Democrats,
bat I am determined to light for the suc
cess of the measure, and, of course, wiil
receive not only the support but the most
energetic assistance of my colleagues,
Messrs. Brown and Owen. It requires a
great deal of labor to get a bill of this kind
through Congress, but there are many good
reasons for the adoption of this proposition
at this time. Wo have no ordnance estab
lishment of this kind in our section of the
country. Indianapolis is in tho natural-
gas held, and we have the best and cheap
est fuel to be found in the world for any
kind of manufacturing. We have iron and
other raw materials close at hand, and
skilled and common labor an be had con
veniently. Our industries 'are never mo
lested by strikes or riots, and the work can
bo constantly carried forward at much
better advantage thau if tho fouudry was
located in almost any other section of the
country. We are near the Mississippi and
Ohio rivers, and can supply ordnance lor
government vessels which ply these waters.
We propose to make a foundry which
will finish heavy and light ordnance
and complete tho manufacture of small
guns, which will be commenced in other
establishments. This aDnronriation will
make a foundry and factory large enough
to employ several hundred skilled and un
skilled laborers, and means not only the
expenditure of half a million dollars for
buildings and machinery, but a large an
nual outlay for labdr and materiaL It will
be one of the principal industries at the
Hoosier capital. The Board of Trade and
other commercial organizations of Indian
apolis and other cities of the State can ren
der great assistance in securing favorable
action on this bill by the adoption of reso
lutions, and by furnishing me with argu
ments favoring the establishment of a
branch of the government ordnance manu-,
facture at Indianapolis. It is a question of
great interest to the entire State."
Sympathy for the Southern Negro.
At the meeting of the Presbyterian minis
ters yesterday forenoon the negro question
was taken up. Warm sympathy was ex
pressed for the negro, and tho outrages to
which he is yet subjected in the South were
strongly denounced. The sentiment was
general in favor of action being taken upon
this, the greatest moral and political prob
lem now before the people.
