A Letter from Hendricks.

Dt'BrquE, la., Aug. 28.—The Her-
ald will publish to-morrow the fol-
lowing letter from Governor Hen-
dricks, received by the citizens of
this city in answer to an inquiry
concerning the rumors affecting a
change Jjh the national democratic
ticket consequent upon the T§p#rts
published against .Governor Cleve-
land :
Indianapolis, August 21,1884.
I have your letter of the 19th in-
stant, I cannot consider with favor
your suggestions of a change in the
national ticket. The action of the
convention icannot now be recon-
sidered, it must stand, and I think
it ought to stand. 1 do not agree
with you in respect to the probable
result. I think the probabilities
are favorable 'to the success of our
ticket. The Cleveland story will
not have weight- with the people
and ought not to have boan made.
It is unWortbt the national contest.
Three times Governor Cleveland has
stood the test of popular elections
on the office of mayor of his own
city and each time he proved the
endorsement of his neighbors
vote larger, than his party. AVhat
ever there may have Wen of the
scandal existing before that time, it
is not just', eithdrto hind or the peo-
ple, now-to revive ft. The public
welfare requires that he be judged
by his public record, by his capa-
bility and fitness for the discharge
of the responsible and important
The sheriff to-day took possession
of the safe and office furniture of

graph Company on a judgment for
$75,645, in favor of John A. Roebing
& Sons, against the company for
wire furnished to the company,
lhe officers of the telegraph com-
pany say the above story is not
true. The evening Post in a city-
paragraph says : ' Matters are now
in process of settlement and the
sale of the property will be post-
poned, as it is expected a settle-
ment will take place." The value
of the property levied upon under
the execution is said to be insuffi-
cient to satisfy the judgment.
Sullivan on His Muscle.
Boston, August 28.—The Wind,

owing to the sparring match be-
twem Dcmin'c'i McCaffrey t n 1 l'ete
McCoy, of Boston. In the second
round, both resorted to wrestling
tactics, in which McCoy showed
himself greatly the superior, In the
third round McCoy knocked Mc-
Caffrey down twice, when a number
1^, a ' of excited outsiders jumped on the
L-i,nt_ j Stage. As McCaffrey attempted to
rise McCoy struck a heavy blow at
him, which was the signal for a
general melee. Both pugilists had
many partisans and these separated
into contesting forces. As they
rushed upon the stage, John L.

Nkw York, August' 28.—Judge

Particularly Rrntal.
Pittsh i'kci, I'a., August 28.—Patsy-
Cardiff and Wm. Bradburn fought
with hard gloves, Queensburv rules,
tc-rtight, for the gate receipts, The
affair was particularly brutal
and exciting from the start, and was
marked by the most uproarious
conduct on the part of the audience
and seconds. The police were several
times obliged to interfere between
the principals, and more than once
used clubs on the spectator!#. In
the fourth round Cardiff knocked
Bradburn senseless and was award-
ed the victory.
The statistics of suicide in the
Austrian army show that of late
years military suicide has been con-
siderably on the increase. The to-
tal number of suicides committed
from 18G9-1878 is 2,536, or an aver-
age of 25;? per annum. In 1877 the
average was 307 ; the year after 314.
The lowest number was 197 in the
year 1873. Fsar of punishment,
financial troubles and disappointed
ambition are said to be the most
common motives.
FOREIGN NEWS.
Paris, August 28,—It is semi-
officially annouced that after Ad-
miral Courbet leaves the Min river
he will occupy the Island of Ala-
mosa which will remain in the
hands of the French until China
pays the indemnity demanded by
France.
We commend the following from
that model of American woman-
hood, Mrs. Mary A. Levermore. For
sense and sentiment it is grand :
"Stand by the Republican party.
Its candidates for President and
Vice President are able men, whose
long years of public service have
entitled them to the recognition
they have received. They are
nsither drunkards nor libertines,
and their relations with women are
so noble that they will be accompa-
nied to the national capital by wives
and women friends of rare intelli-
gence, high culture and unquestion-
ed moral worth."
A Score of Race Horses Rui ned
to Death.
Cytuiana, Ky., August 24.—At
1 o'clock this morning the Abdul-
lah stables were burned, and a
score of horses perished, among
them Long Branch,Chestnut Wilks
and Jersey Lily. Different owners
had their horses quartered in the
stables. W. II. Wilson places his
loss at $50,000. The total loss is
estimated at $100,000—mcstly in
horses.

Bloominoton, Ills,, August 28.—

tions with China are debating about

Paris, August 28.—The official

Admiral Courbet is as follows :
Foo Chow, Sunday morning, Au-
gust 24.—A good begining having
been made, we opened fire yester-
day and in four hours nine Chinese'
men-of-war and twelve junks were
sunk, and the Krupp battery com-
manding the arsenal was silenced.
Our loss is six killed and twenty- •
seven wounded. Our fleet received
no serious damage, except the boil- •
er of a torpedo boat was bursted.
The Chinese loss is heavy. During
th3 night our fleet was beset with
burning wrecks and logs. Torpedo
cutters will clear all this away to-
day, and afterwards we will bom-
bard the arsenal. We shall not <
leave the river before the 29th or
30th. Officers and men all fought
with the greatest ardor.

pedo after it fired at the French.

Wan, after which the boat was sunk

French are expected to occupy the
<^ity of Shanghai and are command-
ing the same anchorage. It is re-
ported that there are 75,000 Chinese
troops in the vicinity of Foo Chow,

ceived It is only 60,000.

ed that the French were annihilat-
ed, while several thousand Chinese
were killed.
