In Tough Luck.

1). W. Cox worked the sliipwreok scene at Music Hall last night. He had a talk witli the members of the company and says they are a nice set of people playing in tough luck. Their company is much smaller than it formerly was. They have a carload of scenery held in Chicago.

Want Shular Paroled.

Col. J. 11. Courtney went over to see Governor llovoy to-day and present to him a petition asking that William Shular now in tho penitentiary for the murder of a man named Lone be released on parole. The petition was signed by many including Judge Britton, and the jury. Prosecutor Anderson did not sign.

The Cloverleaf railroad waB victorious in the suit brought against it by Joel Brown. The case was valiantly fought ou both tides. Judge MoNutt, Tom Hurper and Judge Davidson for the plaintiff were ably assisted by Findley MoNutt, son of tho Judge, and one of the brightest young men at tho Terro Hauto bar. Tho defense was conducted by S. O. Bajlefcs, of Frankfort, assisted by J. H. Burford. The jury returned its verdict for the defendant shortly after supper. This is quite a feather in the cap of Mr. Bayless and will place him several pegs higher up among U:o railroad attorneys of the St:ite.

Ward-MICHAEL II. O'NEAL.

The oourt house was well filled with Democrats last night and a pretty good scattering of Republicans, curious to see who would compose the sacrifice tioket aud the process by which it would bo selected. Will Johnston called the meeting to order and announoed that nominations for chairman were in order. Col. Heath was nominated and declined, and then Judge Davidson was chosen. Wallie Sparks was made secretary. On motion the oonvention divided into wards for the nomination of councilmen. The first ward was in charge of Dr. Gott and after about ten men had declined tho nomination, J. 1'. Walter was seleoted by acclamation. Judge Hurley was chairman of the Second Ward. A ballot was taken resulting as follows: M. Y. Buck, 1 A. Kostanzer, 1 E. C. Griffith, 7 Dr. O. H. Jones,U. Jones nominated. After all nomina tions were mado in the Third Ward, Chairman Jere West announced the result of the ballot, W. .J. Koru, 3 Silas Jones, 1 Mike O'Neal, 20 John Grifliti, 12. O'Neall nominated.

A rathor amusing pliaso of the oonvention was the conference of leaders during tho Ward meetings to fix up a ticket, cut and dried, and present it to the convention. Dr. Gott, A. D. Willis, Paul Hughes and such good old friends as Col. John R. Courtney aud Samuel M. Coffmuu got their lieadB together and attempted to find men to tako the race for the various offices. Wallie Sparks was their choice for Mayor, but he firmly declined, so they fell back on J. L. Slirum. They failed to find willing candidates for tho other offices and decided to leave the matter to the convention. The convention was again called to order. M. E. Clodfeltor took the floor to move that a full ticket be nominated. Col. Courtney moved to amend so that only Mayor and Clerk be nominated and argued that by not presenting a full ticket the party lines would not be drawn so olose and possibly a Democrat or two might pull through. Mr. Clodfelter jumped to his feot and in a flight of fiery outcry declared that "the Democratic party should present a bold front and not oonfess weakness at tho start by putting out a lame ticket." Col. Mulberry Sellers arose to remark that tho Democratic party of Crawfordsville was able to take care of itself and was not in need of the help of Democrats from Indianapolis or Longview. This was centre shot as Mr. Clodfelter is not a residont of Crawfordsville but of Long view. There was immense applause among Republicans, Mugwumps and Ring Democrats. Mr. Clodfelter was considerably rattled but liis nerve staid with him and he aga:n dropped into elcquence. It proved to bo a case of the tail wagging the dog of Longview running Crawfordsville, for Clodfelter carried the day and it was decided to nominate a full ticket. J. L. Slirum, Sidney Speed, J. H. Watson and J.

Booe were nominated for Mayor, but the last two names were withdrawn. The ballot resulted in 35 votes for Slirum and 73 for Speed. Jim Brennen was nominated for Clerk by acclamation. John Griffin and Will Sidener were nominated in a like manner for Treasurer and Assessor respectively. For Marshal the vote was: W. R. Mc Lane 63, William Vance 58, William Wilhite 7 and Horace Ensminger 1. On motion of McLane the nomination of Vanoe was made unanimous. The convention adjourned to meet on May 6 at the polls.

WHY NANCY WAIVED.

Policeman Jim GrimeB in the Eole of a Detective. Mrs. Nancy Lightoap appeared before Mayor Russell this morning, waived preliminary examination and was bound over to the circuit court. She would not have waived but for one thing. Her attorney, Col. Courtney, had learned that a conversation between his fair olient and Can Soring had occurred at the jail on last Tuesday night. Ha had also learned that this conversation had boon overheard. To find out the lame of this person who heard the conversa tiou ho would havo held a preliminary examination but the prosecutor decided that it would be better to tell who that person was and have tho preliminary dono away with. It was Polioem an Grimes in tho role of a detective, who was secreted in the jail Tuesday night near Nunoy's oelL What he heard will bo made public onlj at tho trial but is known that sho incriminated herself and tho authorities feel confi dont of sure oaso. Soring was not connected with tho aflair fit all. Miss Lightcap' bail was fixed at §500 in default of which she went back to her cell.

A Broken Truck Causes a Big Jsun of Cars But Ho Loss of Life. The south bound through freight on the Monon was wrecked lust night about 12 o'clock on the red bridge mile north of the city. Tho hiudmcst trucks of a car loaded with raw hides broke down about a quarter of a mile tho other side of the bridgo as is shown by tho mai kings on tho ties. This car was the eighth from the engine. When it reached the bridge instead of merely scratching tho ties tho trucks pushed them all together until about hvc-thirds of the way across, leaving tho track behind without any support. Four oars of lumber coming next of coarse fell through, but the heavy crossbeams and iron work held firm for tho most part. One crossbeam or girder was broken and two or three iron rods torn loose. This brought the train to a sudden stop with the excep tion of tho engiuo and few front cars which broke away and got r.oross tlio bridge. Five empty flat cars were thrown down tho embankment, two on the emit side and throo on tho wost. A car containing potatoes was broken at one eud and a portion of tho contents scattered over the ground. The great feature of the whole affair is that no one was killed or even injured. Mike Grady, tho fireman ou the engine, is a cousin to Tom Clark of this city. Wrecking trains arrived about tho middle of the morning. About fifty men aro at work, some transferring freight from damaged cars to good ones, others nailing now ties and other preparations to repair tho bridge. They will work all night to-night and by to-morrow trains will bo ruuuiug as usual. In the meantime passenger trains have been muning between here and Lafayette via Colfax. Hundreds of people have walked and rode out to tho scene of tho wreck to day. Parker

Willis took his camera out and took a good view of it from the east side. The total number of cars wreokod was eleven —one car of raw hideB, hind trucks broken four cars of lumber, teloscopod and jammed up together live flat oars thron down the embankment, and one box ear of potatoes slightly broken iu »t the ond.

A Gay Party.

Misses Mary D. Gilkey, Li/.zio and Mary Binford entertained a large parly of friends last night at tho homo of Joseph Binford on east Murket street. Tho guests enjoyed themselves Until a late hour. —Most remarkable display in fancy Silks ever showed in this oity this week at Louis

The facts in relation to population and vital statistics, upon reaching the census bureau, tire all counted by electricity. which do«ffl the work almost without as.si.Main.-e. It is estimated that in the compiling of tables tho machine employed saves three-fourths of what would'otherwise be the labor involved and three-fourths of the lime. To begin with, there is little pencil of steel on the end of a meUil arm p. foot or so long, which is so arranged that you can push tho pencil in any direction above a celluloid plate that is full of small round holes, just big enough to allow the pencil to be thrust into them.

Each of the. holes has a letter or figure close by it to distinguish it from the othei-s. Now tho operator inserts a nianilla paper card in a holder just back of the movable arm, and, taking in his left hand one, of the original enumerator's schedules, holds the steel pencil iu his right hand and proceeds to business.

The name of the person on the schedule is I'etcr Fish, but that is not worth counting, for Mr. Fish is henceforth to ix! regarded front the statistical point of vio*v merely as a unit. Ho lived in Ward 1, and necordinglv the operator jalis the steel pencil down into a little hole marked "1" in ono of the divisions of ihe celluloid plate. Also he was white—another hole punched—male- another hole—50 years of age—another hole—born iii Germany —another hole—his father likewiseanother hole—his mother ditto—another hole—his occupation was that of a laborer—another hole—and he died in January—another hole—of malar ial fever-—another hole. That is all there is about Fish so the card previously inserted is removed from the holder, and it is found to bo punched with a number of round holes in dif ferent places. From that card, with nothing ou it or iu it but the said holes, a practiced hand can read about

Mr. Fish and his history as easily as from the original schedule for tho po sition of the holes gives the meaning to be conveyed. But the. signification of each hole does not have to be read by human intelligence. Electricity does that, and counts the facts recorded by the holes as well.

The punched card is laid in tho bottom of a tray which has holes in it corresponding*to those in thoeolluloid plate. The:,e holes are tilled nearly full with mercury. Abovo the tray is a horizontal metal [date, which moves up and down as directed. The metal plate has attached to its lower side little metal plungers corresponding number and position with the holes in the tray beneath. When the metal plate is lowered, the plungers go into the mercury filled holes and the cir cuit is complete, the contrivance having an electric battery connected with it, with a separate connection for each hole.

But suppose a card is placed in the tray, with a dozen holes in it bore and there, fitting exactly over the holes to which they correspond in the truy, it is apparent that ail the plungers will be stopped by the card, save those who find the holes, thus completing only the corresponding circuits. Each ol the circuits thus completed conrieots with a sort of electric clock—a small all'air—which counts numbors on its dial instead of hours and minutes. The chicks communicated with give one tick forward apiece, thus noting the fact that one more man, say, was a aborer, born in Germany, died in Jannary, etc.

If Mr. Fish's history had been different other holes would have been originally punched in the card, other locks would havo licked, und the sums finally recorded from the clocks, which cannot make mistakes, would have been slightly altered. Inasmuch as each of the possible 300 holes has its counting clock attached when the metal plate comes down on the card, nothing can be missed. One clock v.iil count fl/.WO before it has to be started over again. The sums recorded by the clock are token down on paper slips and from them transferred to the tables for publication. Such it the electric method of counting a census.—ltene Bache in Savannah "News.

The trip which two women of Now York city recently accomplished around tho world prompts a writer to recall tho fact that the woman who first circumnavigated the world wasa member of Bougainville's famous expedition around the world in 17G0-'C9. which occupied just two years ami four months. Lnder the name of Bare, and in the disguise of a man, this woman hud taken passage upon tho storeship L'Etoile as a servant to Philibert de Commercop, the botanist.
