HIS CAREER A’NOTABLE ONE
“Old Saddlebags,” _as He Was Famil-
iarly Called, Was a Self Made Man
and Could Have Had a Presi-
dential Nomination.
INDIANAPOLIS, June 23. — Ex—Senator
Joseph E. McDonald died Sunday night
at 11:35 o’clock. He passed away very
peacefully, without a. struggle, surrounded
by his family, who were all in attendance
at the bedside. Mrs. McDonald is greatly
prostrated over her loss. The funeral has
been fixed for 3 o’clock, Wednesday, but
beyond this no arrangements have been
perfected.
‘fOld Saddle Bags." ’
' “Old Saddle Bags" was the endearing
soubriquet which the Democrats of the
west loved to apply to Joseph Ewing Mc-
Donald. He' was, years ago, one of the
popular idols whom they reverenced, whom
they were willing to fight for and for
JOSEPH E. M’DONALD.
whom, had he ever received the nomina-
tion for the presidency, they would have
enthusiastically voted. He was one of the
plain people, and the plain people made in
their way a hero of him. His ancestry
was Scotch—Irish, with a. dash of Hugue-
-not blood that come from his mother,
Eleanor Pratt, who was by birth a Penn-
sylvanian. The father of Mr. McDonald,
a. Pennsylvanian also, died when his son,
the future senator, was a mere child. That
bereavement might have been disastrous
in many ways had she not been a woman
of strong character.
With practical sagacity she set her son,
when he was only twelve years old, to
learning the best trade that presented it-
self to her judgment. It was that ofa.
harness maker. He even then wanted to
be a lawyer, but his wishes were overruled
by the mother and the second husband
whom she had found. It was to be the
trade first and then the profession. In
case he failed in the latter he was to have
something to fall back on.
' His Advent in Politics.
He was eighteen years old when the
period for which he had been apprenticed
expired. Entering Wabash college he sup-
ported himself by working at his trade.
From Wabash he went to the University
Of Asbury. After leaving that institution
he taught school for a time, and next, at
the age of tWenty-three, began in earnest
the study of law in the office of Zebulon
Baird, who had the reputation of being
the most eminent lawyer in Indiana.
McDonald made such rapid progress in
his studies that, in the words of one who
has written about him, “he was, when ad-
mitted to the bar, not a mere law student,
but an educated lawyer, thoroughly im-
bued with both the theory and practice of
the law.” This was in 1844, and he was
then twenty—five years old, having been
born in Butler county, 0., Aug. 29, 1819.
In 1845 he settled down in Crawfordsville.
The Democrats there made him prose—
cuting attorney, and in 1849 they sent him
to congress. Two years later the new
office of attorney general was created by
the state, and after a close fight he cap-
tured the position. -He was re—elected in
1858, served a second term and declined
the offer of a third nomination in 1860.
His Great Campaign.
Then came the war era. Oliver P. Mor-
ton became on the Republican side the
great political leader in the state. An idea
of the position Joe McDonald then held in
his own party maybe formed from the
fact that in 1864 he was selected to run
against Morton for the chief magistracy of
the state. That campaign attracted the
attention of the whole country. It was
brilliantly aggressive from every point of
view.. McDonald was beaten, but he polled
so large a vote against such tremendous
odds that he became from that time for-
ward one of the national leaders of the
Democracy.
The DemoCrats of Indiana made him in
1872 the chairman of her state central com-
mittee. He reorganized the party, and in
1875 succeeded in electing a Democratic
legislature, which sent him the same year
to the United States senate. He at once
took a front place in the body.
Senator McDonald was urged very
strongly by his Indiana friends as an
available and powerful candidate for the
presidency in 1884, and at Cincinnati, in
1880, it was the loyalty of Senator McDon-
ald to Mr. Hendricks which alone prevent-
ed him, McDonald, from being the first
choice of the convention. '
He Was Loyal to Hendricks.
Mr. Hendricks’ name was presented and
pressed with united vigor by the Indiana
delegation, but it was feared from the
very start that it would be “love’s labor
lost.” Notwithstanding this, Mr. Mc-
Donald urged the delegation to remain
steadfast to its candidate, and if it were
compelled to go down it would do so with
colors flying. Before many hOurs had
elapsed, however, it Was apparentthat Mr.
McDonald himself was looming up in the
convention as the most available candi-
date, and delegation after delegation ap«
proached the Indianians, urging that if
they would present his name in place Of
Mr. Hendricks’ he could be, nominated on
the next ballot. It is only necessary to
state that a majority of the Indiana delega-
tion was ready 'to Comply, but when Mr.
McDonaldwas approached on the subject
—a.s he was by the most distinguished
and influential men in the convention—he
emphatically put his foot down on the
proposition. . . _
‘ His position, briefly, was to the effect
that he was there as a pronouncedadvo—
cute and firm friend of Mr. Hendricks, and
he was for him, and he would never place
‘of being the murderer.
himself in any position that bore the slight-
est, semblance of bad faith. The nomina-
tion of Hancock followed, but every dele-
gate at Cincinnati knew that the nomina—
tion was in the hands of Mr. McDonald
if he had but chosen to accept it.
As a lawyer Senator McDonald attained
a very distinguished position. . He was en-
gaged in many famous cases, among which
the most noted, perhaps, was that of the
United States against Bowles, Milligan
and Horsey, who were concerned in an al-'
leged conspiracy against the government.
A BALLOON BURSTS IN MIDAIR.
Four Workmen Who Had Been Carried
Up in It Dashed to Death. ’
ST. PETERSBURG, June 23.——While a
large balloon belonging to Count Apraxine
was being inflated with gas it escaped
from the attendants who were holding it
to the ground and carried upward four
workmen who were in the car when the
balloon broke away.
After it had ascended to a great height
the onlookers were horrified to see the
balloon burst and the bod'es of the unfor-
tunate workmen dash ' to the earth,
where they were smashed almost beyond
recognition.
A Balloon in a;,Gale.
PARIS, Jun-e 23.—-—A thrilling scene was
witnessed yesterday by an enormous
throng gathered in the Bois de Colombes
to witness a balloon ascension. A strong
wind was blowing, and the balloon had
just risen to a level with the tops of the
surrounding houses, when asudden squall
seized it and dashed it against a chimney.
The balloon was torn open and M. Gau-
thier, a professional acronaut, and an
amateur aocompan ying him were seriously
injured. Fortunately the balloon had lost
eomuch gas that it sank slowly toward
the ground and was pulled down by the
spectators.
Conductor Brown Held.
BOSTON, J unc 23.—Unitcd States Com~
missioner Hall this morning heard the
case of Conductor Brown, of Malden,
Mass, charged with smuggling goods from
Canada to this country. Several witnesses
were examined who testified to receiving
goods from Brown, which had been brought
over the border, addressed to parties in the
States. Among them was a package ad-
dressed to “C. H. Herbert, Lynn, Mass.”
On this testimony the commissioner (1e
cided to hold Brown in the sum of $5,000
for trial on June 26. Mr. Brown's lawyer
made no defense, saying that he did not
wish to introduce any evidence at this
time
An Insane Man’s Suicide.
GENEVA, N. Y., June 23.—John B. Gay-
lord, a well known carpenter and joiner,
terminated his existence by drowning in
Seneca lake. . He was seen to get into a boat,
row out a few rods from the shore and
jump into the water. The authorities were
notified and the body was recovered. About
three years ago deceased begun to Show
violent symptoms of insanity, induced, it
is believed, by excessive smoking. He was
sent to Willard asylum, but after several
months he was discharged. During the
last few days he has shown signs of the re-
turn of his mental disorder.
Savage and Fatal Labor Riot.
VIENNA, June 28—11 savage riot oc—
curred yesterday at Batonya, Hungary.
A mob of field laborers, incited by social-
ist agitators, attacked the town hall and
would probably have wrecked the build-
ing had it not been for the desperate re-
sistance made by a small force of gen-
darmes who had stationed themselves be-
hind its walls. The gendarmes fired upon
the mob, killed four of the rioters upon
the spot and severely wounded seven
others. This checked the ardor of the so-
cialist element, and the authorities soon
after restored order.
Sam Small's Accuser Indicted.
PHILADELPHIA, June 23.—The grand
jury in this city returned a true bill for
criminal libel against Rev. J. Wesley Hill,
of Ogden, U. T. The offense is writing
and publishing a defamatory letter charg-
ing criminal conduct upon Rev. Sam
Small in connection with the funds of the
Utah university. Hill having failed to
make good any charge against Dr. Small
in the recent Methodist conference inves-
tigations of Small’s official career, the lat-
ter now seeks to bring his accuser before
the criminal courts. .
Gibson’s Case Delayed.
aCHICAGO, June 23.-—The case of George
J. Gibson, who was to have been tried be
fore Judge Kettelle on the charge of at-
tempting to blow up the Shufeldt distil—
lery, was not taken up Monday as ex-
pected, owing to the absence of Judge Ket-
telle from the city. State Attorney Longe-
necker and Attorney Runnells, Gibson’s
counsel, visited several judges today, and
it is probable that the matter will be taken
up tomorrow before some other judge, as
both sides are anxious to have a. hearing.
Laid‘to Jack the Ripper.
LONDON, June 23.—A horrible murder
was discovered Monday in Whitfield street,
Tottenham road. A foreign woman
named Mme. Ashton was found dead and
her head shockingly disfigured. The last
.visitor observed by the neighbors was
evidently a Frenchman, and he is suspected
Enormous crowds
blocked the streets in the vicinity and
tremendous excitement prevails, as the
crime is laid by many at the door of “Jack
the Ripper.”
The Anaconda Not Sold.
BALTIMORE, June 23.—The statement of
Mr. Haggin, published in the New York
papers, to the effect that the Anaconda
mine has not been sold is fully believed by
the junior members of the Baltimore 00p
per Smelting company of this city. Mr.
Haggin, they say, is the owner and ought
to know for a certainty whether the mine
is sold or not. The Baltimore Smelting
"company is the Baltimore agent of the
Anaconda copper mine.
A Somewhat Unique Verdict This.
INDIANAPOLIS, June 23.—Harry Carpen-
ter, a wealthy farmer in this county, com-
mitted suicide by shooting. The coroner’s
jury returned a verdict saying, “The de-
ceased killed himself in a fit of desponden-
cy caused by brooding over the increase in
taxes under the new Democratic appraise-
ment law of the state.” '
Explosion in a Theater.
MUNICH, June 23.—An explosion of gas
in the Munich theater resulted in the seri-
ous wounding of three persons, one of
whom will die. Fire followed the explo-
sion, and before the flames could be con-
trolled—serious damage was inflicted to the
building.
He Gets Nine Years.
NEW YORK, June 23.—William Mauser,

The Fugitive Bank President Hiding
in the Jersey Swamps.
CERTAIN TO BE CAPTUIED.
It Is Believed That His Apprehension
Is Only a Question of Time—The In-
Jured Detective Turns Out to
Be Labor Agitator Gal-side.
PHILADELPHIA, June 23.—District Attor-
ney Graham returned from Spring lake
Monday morning. He brings encourag-
ing reports of ”Freeman’s” condition,
and says that ”Freeman’s” physician now
believes that he will recover from the ef-
fects of the terrible blow given him by his
assailant. :
“Max Freeman,” as the detective has
chosen to be known, is one of the bright-
est and ablest of Philadelphia. newspaper
men. His right. name is Thomas Garside,
and previous to his coming to this city
and entering upon newspaper work he
was known as Professor Garside, and had
a reputation extending over two continents
as a labor agitator.
Sure He Is In the Swamps.
District Attorney Graham had as long
an interview with Garside as his condition
would allow, and the injured man told
him all he knew. Mr. Graham learned
enough to at once send to this city for de-
tectives, and three of Chief Wood’s men
are now at Spring Lake searching for the
men who were at the lonely cottage at
Como, and from one of whom Garside re-
ceived his injuries. One of these men the
authorities are convinced is Marsh.
United States Marshal Leeds says that
”Freeman’s” doctor is confident that
Marsh has been seen at Spring Lake with-
in ten days. It is now believed that Marsh
has taken to the Jersey swamps, and that
his capture will be but a question of time.
“’I'ight’s Sureties Approved.
PHILADELPHIA, June 23,—The matter of
the approval of the sureties of City
Treasurer Wright, which was argued on
Friday last before Judge Bregy and held
under advisement, came up again Monday
morning in the old court house. After
argument on the case the attorney general
said that he was satisfied with the sureties
Judge Bregy approved the bond in that
amount. _
