Springfield Daily Republic. Republic. SPRINGFIELD, GENERAL EDWIN C. MASON. of Springfield's Sons Receiyes HonOne orable Recognition in the Army.

The following sketch of the life and services of General Edwin C. Mason, from the Minneapolis Tribune, is of interest to Springfield people. This is General Mason's native city, and here he spent the days of his youth. His promotion in the army has been by reason of heroic service, and Springfield appreciates the honor bestowed upon her illustrious son. The Tribune says: selection by the president of Col.

John R. Brooke to be brigadier-general, vice Crook, promoted, carries in its train the promotion of an officer well known to and esteemed by the local community, and whose personal and military history deserves more than a passing notice. Reference is made to Edwin C. Mason, U. S.

who, since July, 1885, has been inspector-general of the department of Dakota. Brigadier General Edwin Cooley Mason, the subject of this sketch and whose portrait is herewith presented, was born in Springfield, Ohio, May 31, 1831. The secular education which was afforded him was drawn from the best private and public forces of his state; while the tender and warm affection and sympathies of domestic parental solicitude surrounded his life with a religious beauty and purity distinctly exemplified in his character and daily life. evincing predilection for the study of civil engineering, his tastes in that direction were indulged, and the proficiency which marked his pursuit of the mysteries of that branch of scientific lore subsequently contributed much to that success by which his military career has been distinguished. The reputation for general integrity, probity, upright demeanor and commanding abilities which our young engineer had acquired extended far beyond the city of his birth, and, when rebellion threw her dark mantle down and pinned it with the loyal blood of the Union, his was one of the very first commissions to be issued by the war department-his signment to the second regiment of Ohio volunteers, as captain, dating April 21, 1861.

In the following month of June be was commissioned captain in the 17th infantry, in the regular establishment, and served with that regiment at Ft. Preble, Portland harbor, until November 5, 1861, when he was tendered and accepted the colonelcy of the 7th Maine infantry volunteers, and served in the Army of the Potomac until August, 1864, when the regiment was disbanded by reason of expiration of term of service. Up to that date he received successively the brevets of major, lieutenant colonel and colonel in the regular army, for gallant and meritorious services in the battles of Fredericksburg, the Wilderness and Spottsylvania, respectively. the 23d of May, 1869, Col. Mason received the thanks of the governor of Maine for himself and regiment for the part taken in the battle of Williamsburg, May 5, 1862.

The extreme loyalty and conscientiousness which permeated every pore and fiber of Col. Mason's construction, is demonstrated in the fact that be was seriously wounded during the sault on the enemy's works in the battle of of Spottsylvania Court House, Va, May 12. 1864, and again by the explosion of a shell in the battle of Mechanicsville, on the 24th of the same month; and, that he was personally with his regiment in the engagements of the army of the Potomac and the operations of the Sixth corps in the Shenandoah valley to the battle of Perry ville, August 10, 1864. the 7th Maine was disbanded, Col. Mason was appointed to the command of the 176th Ohio volunteers, which appointment, by permission of the war department, he accepted, and was assigned to the command of the 2d brigade, 4th division, 50th corps, which brigade he commanded during the battle of Nashville, Dec.

14, 15 and 16, 1864. In June, 1865, Col. Mason was breveted brigadier general of volunteers for faithful services: and, on September 20, of the same year, he was, at his own request, mustered out of the volunteer service and ordered to join bis regiment, the 17th United States infantry, at Hart Island, N. Y. Want of space precludes following this intrepid officer through the Indian and other campaigns which have kept him busy since the close of the civil war.

The campaign against the Mescalero Apaches in Texas, in 1866, and the Modoc war of 1872-73, have added to his military history a record for personal bravery and valor which will remain long after the hand and brain which wrought the deeds recorded shall have been obliterated. The testimony to Gen. Mason's official and personal merit, written by the hands of such men as MoClellan, Howard, Wheaton and a host of others, is replete with praise, while the incidents covered by the testimony are emulous and edifying. "In May, 1867, General Mason married, at Rochester, N. Miss Frances M.

Kingsbury, a graduate of Livingston Park Seminary, and daughter of the late Lansing Kingsbury, of Marshall, formerly prominent and well-known citizen of Calhoun county, Ill. In July, 1885, General Mason was assigned to duty at the headquarters of the department of Dakota, a8 inspector general, from which duty he was recently relieved by virtue of his promotion to succeed Brigadier General Brooke in the command of the Third United States infantry, with station at Ft. Snelling. domestic life of Gen. and Mrs.

Mason has been blessed by Providence with four interesting and pretty children, three daughters and a son, two of whom, girls, are now undergoing instruction in the educational institution to which is doubtless due much of the culture and refinement so conspicuous in their mother; while the general's mother, now in her 83d year, is comparatively hale and hearty, and modestly shares in the peace and contentment of her son's happy home- calm in the reflection of a life well spent and the soul-sustaining promises of the lowly Nazarene." DECIDEDLY INGENIOUS. An Urbana Man With an Eye for Business, Without a Precedent. The people of Urbana have always had the reputation of being ingenious, but this incident, as told by the Citizen, breaks the record: have heard of curious suits, but last week we heard of one that beats them all. Some time ago young man borrowed from a friend a sum of money, for which be gave his note. When the note became due the borrower went to pay it.

The loaner, not needing the money, told him to keep it and use it, and make something out of it. He did so, and purchased a piece of timber and began cutting the wood. Soon after he took sick and was compelled to employ a man to cut the wood, and was also out a big doctor bill. Last week he was in to consult a lawyer with view of bringing suit for damages to recover the amount of the doctor bill and what he paid the man for cutting the wood. The attorney informed him that there were no statutes covering his case." Police Court.

Honefanger, drunk, $5 and costs; Dug Rogers, $10 and costs; Christ Weber, disorderly, 85 and costs; Mike Rideasheimer, drunk, 85 and costs. All ether cases were continued.

John Benchle Takes Laudanum With Suicidal Intent. An epidemic of suicide is sweeping over the country, and Springfield has squarely caught the infection for self destruction. in Cincinnati scarcely a day has passed for weeks, that some unfortunate has not shuffled off a yard or two of mortal coil. The river and the rope are the popular means in Cincinnati, but in Springfield DEADLY POISON TAKES PRECEDENCE with those who are tired of life and its ills, and seek to "fly to others that we know not of." The latest addition to the roll of would-be self-destroyers is John Henchie, a young farmer living near Emory chapel, on the Yellow Springs pike. At 6 o'clock last evening he took an ounce and a half of laudanum in liquid form and was found soon after by his wife in an unconscious condition, with two empty vials beside him on the floor of the sitting room.

Both of these were plainly marked with the horribly suggestive skull and cross-bones. Dr. Russell was summoned as soon as possible, but it WAS three hours after the man had taken the deadly dose that he arrived. Henchie WAS, by this time, in a stupor so profound that it seemed like death itself. The physician at once resorted to the washing-out process and pumped the man's stomach full dozen times, it emptying itself each time.

By this means, all of the poison which had not yet been assimilated was WASHED OUT OF THE STOMACH, and then there was only to deal with such of the powerful narcotic as had been taken by the blood and circulated through the up system. After several hours' work Henchie was restored to consciousness, and the first thing he did was to express surprise at waking up in this world. He expected, he said, to find himself in the hereafter. "You are still at Emory chapel?" Dr. Russell assured him, as the man gazed up at him with dull, fishy eyes.

The man grinned feebly. He is thought to be out of danger. Henchie is a young man with a wife and two children. He was formerly a teamster for Jacobs Leedie, but now works one of Mr. E.

N. Jacobs's farms. Yesterday he had a domestic difficulty, though not of a serious character, with his wife. They quarreled bitterly and it had a very dispiriting effect upon Henchie. Soon after he hitched up and drove to Springfield.

Going to Garwood's drug store he purchased one vial of laudanum and another somewhere else not stated. He TOOK ALL THESE PRELIMINARY STEPS with due deliberation and was apparently convinced that death was about the proper thing. Going home, he took the heroic dose of poison and but for timely discovery and treatment, would by this tune have been in the adjacent contiguously. DENOUNCED. The Y.

M. R. 0. Sits Down Hard on the Convention at Indianapolis. The Young Men's Republican club met in regular session last night.

A number of persons were elected to membership. As the executive committee having in charge the presenting of names was absent, Done were presented. After the regular business President Huffman, in a neat speech, presented the club with large likeness of General Bushnell, which that gentleman had had taken for the club. The club heartily accepted the present by unanimous vote of thanks. The members hearing of the boodle convention, which had been called to meet.

at Indianapolis, several discussed the matter briefly before the club. They expressed their regrets that such convention should be called by colored men having for its object the desertion of the standard party of principles. Remarks were made urging the club to take such steps as would help to discourage the object or influence of the said convention. It was also stated that prominent member of the club had left for Indianapolis to learn the true state of affairs and would report the same at next meeting. MR.

JAMES BUFORD. He Visits Gen. Harrison, at Indianapolis -Indiana Good for 10,000 to 15,000 Majority. Our esteemed citizen, Mr. James Buford, visited Indianapolis a few days ago, and called upon Gen.

Harrison, who received him cordially, and made 8 very good impression upon him. He had heard of colored people who were getting up a democratic demonstration, but he could only trace up about eight. The leader was postoflice clerk, but he was arrested for stealing, recently, and was on the road to the penitentiary. There were four colored men in the procession, at the recent democratic blow-out, but they appeared to be ashamed of themselves. Mr.

Buford inquired about a good deal, and was told that Indiana would not fail to give Harrison and Morton 10,000 to 15,000 majority. CONSIDERING WAYS AND MEANS. The Springfield Power and Heating pany Proceed to Progress. The directors of the Springfield Power and Heating Co. held a meeting yesterday for the purpose of moving in the direction of natural gas.

Kelley and W. A. Scott was appointed to investigate the different propositions for piping gas to the city and make report at an early day.

It behoves them and to push things the "summer is waning they expect to have gas in side the city before the winter months, no time is to be lost.

They must proceed to progress at once. Golden Pleads Not Guilty, In police court Monday afternoon John Golden, arrested for uttering a forged note, was arraigned to answer to the charge, and entered a plea of not guilty. His trial was fixed for tomorrow and he was remanded to jail in default of bail. It is the current idea that Norris has over-estimated the case. PRICE TWO CENTS.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 24. -A grand jury of representative men has just made startling report, in which they say they are justified in asserting that In San Francisco crime is organized; our elections, primarily and finally, are controlled to a great extent by from twelve to fifteen hundred members of the criminal element, leagued together, and rendering "quid pro quo," having so-called "pulls" on men in authority and others influential with those having power. Reciprocity exists between criminals, prostitutes, gamblers and bosses. Policemen seem not able to meet the requirements of the situation. Speaking of the Chinese quarter, the reporter says: San Francisco Sodom, with all its loathesome features, has become so familiar that it has ceased to inspire horror among our citizens.

Its gambling dens, brothels and opium joints flourish in spite of the police, and its inhabitants live in foul kennels which stifle visitors with an unbearable CINCINNATI. One of the Largest Shoe Factories in the Country Burns Down. CINCINNATI, July 24. -About 4 o'clock this morning a watchman discovered a fire in the second story of the six-story shoe factory of Krippendorf, Dittman corner of Sycamore and New streets. Engine house No.

4 is not more than 200 feet distant, and an alarm of fire was instantly given, but before the department could begin its fight, the flames had reached the elevator and spread to all the upper floors. Then began a desperate contest of almost the entire department to mitigate the calamity so as to save adjoining structures. They succeeded. Every window in the large shoe factory of Blocker, Gerler a hundred feet away, was broken by the heat and air, window frames scorched and almost on fire, but by constant watchfulness the building was saved. The south wall fell outward, burying beneath it two humble dwellings, on the south side of New street, from which the occupants bad been removed.

The other walls, except the front and a portion of the rear, fell, one destroying a dwelling on North street. The front wall is in a very dangerous condition and must be thrown down. The factory was one of the largest and best equipped in the country and was engaged in the mannfacture of fine quality of women's shoes. It had the best and most expensive machinery, valued at $100,000. The building was put up especially for the purpose two years ago, and cost $70,000.

The stock and manufactured goods on hand were inventoried a few days ago at 000. The loss on everything is total, making a loss of $310,000. The insurance altogether amounts to $161,000. The employes thrown out of employment number 550, of whom 350 are women and girls. The origin of the fire is mystery.

There was no fire in the building. The workmen were on the second floor as late as 1 o'clock this morning. Iron Molders in National Convention. ST. LoUIs, July 24.

He says: is the only place from which the "Trust" can be properly fought, because its facilities as seaport are unequalled, and when the refinery opens in June, the public will get the benefit of their Republican Tariff BilL.

WASHINGTON, July -Senators Allison and Aldrich say that the sub-committee of the finance committee is working night and day on the republican tariff bill, and they believe that the sub-committee will have the measure ready to report to the full committee early next week, and that not more than two weeks will be used by the full committee to have the bill ready to report to the senate. This will put the bill on the calendar about the 10th or 15th of August. THE GROCERS' PICNIC. They Shut Up Shop Tomorrow for a Day's Pleasure and Recreation. The grocers make their second attempt at a picnic tomorrow, and if the day is fair it will be a great time.

The programme has already been published, and that branch of the city's retail trade proposes to enjoy the day to the full. There will be a grand street parade before going to the grounds, which will be no small feature of the "day's doings." In addition to the exercises and amusements before published, to take place on the grounds, there will be short speeches made by a number of well known and happy after-dinner talkers, among whom are General Bushnell, Hon.

People who are in need of groceries must call early or they will be compelled to dine on shadow soup. as everything closes tight at 10 o'clock in the forenoon.

Watch for the parade and then go to the fair grounds and enjoy the sport and the speeches. Allen has the best goods and the lowest prices: IVES IN SPRINGFIELD. The Young 1 Napoleon and His Partner, Mr. Stayner, Pass Through the Oity This Morning. The "Republic's" Young Man Caught Them On the Fly, and Stood Their Bluff Like a Good Boy-The Ride to Yellow Springs and its Result.

Henry S. Ives and his partner, Mr. Stayof New York, were in the city for ner, twenty minutes this morning, being passengers on the C. S. C.

train from the north, arriving at 9:30 o'clock. They were making their way to Cincinnati, where 8 charge of embezzlement stands against them. Readers of this paper are familiar with these gentlemen and their C. H. D.

dealings, and therefore it will be interesting to hear of them again. Messrs. Ives and Stayner have been 50- journing at the Clifton hotel on the Canadian side of Niagara Fails for some time, to avoid arrest. The Cincinnati authorities have been in New York to secure requisition papers from Goyernor Hill, and in case he would deny them, Messrs. Ives and Stayner were to return to New York today.

It seenis that the request WAS not denied and the two financiers are going to Cincinnati to stand trial or to bluff the game in which they hold a very conspicuous part. A REPUBLIC man was at the C. S. C. depot when these distinguished gentlemen arrived, and recognizing them from their photographs, as they alighted, he followed as they walked hastily to the Pan Handle depot to continue their journey.

Following close on their heels the reporter was there in time to see Mr. Ives buy the tickets. He walked up to Sam Dodds, the paste-board shuffler, and politely asked for two tickets for Cincinnati. "Excursion tickets?" asked Sam, taking him for a traveling man. "No, sir; two tickets for Cincinnati," retorted Mr.

Ives, as he showed up a big roll of bills. The tickets were handed out and bystanders could not but notice the ticket purchaser, as he wore a very distinguished air. The reporter took in every movement of the gentlemen and they at once took seats in the train for Cincinnati. Not wishing to allow an opportunity for an interview with the two great men to escape, the reporter entered the car and introduced himself. Mr.

Ives was the first one to talk and soon Mr. Stayner, who was occupying a seat in the car with Mr. Ives, left and took another seat. Mr. Ives received the reporter rather solemnly, and looked suspiciously at him each moment.

By the time be was induced to talk the train had left the depot, and was running rapidly toward the south. When Mr. Ives saw that the reporter was stiff with him, and no chance of escape, he opened up a little more freely. The talk was as follows: "You are on your way to Cincinnati, Mr. Ives?" "Yes, sir, we reach there at 12:45 p.

"Would you have been arrested had you remained?" no. Do you suppose I'm a fooling and don't know what I'm doing? No sir, you will see that I will come out on top." By this time the conductor called for the tickets, which Ives handed him for himself and Stayner. Mr. Ives wore a very neat fitting cutaway suit of light goods, with straw hat and poka dot neck scarf. He is only 30 years old and is rather a fine ing man.

"What is your ides about taking such circultous route as one that causes you to change cars so often?"
