TRANSCENDED HIS DUTY AGAIN John il. obeli lias ouce more stepped outside the reslrn of bis duty as Auditor of Montgomery county, aud started shop iu opposition to the various Justices of the Peane and Notaries Public in the county, lie has started a deed making concern. Oil February 23, 1891, he made two deeds and took the acknowledgements of the grantors to the same, an unheard of proceeding on the part of any previous Auditor of this county. The acknowledgements are taken before Goben as Auditor of Montgomery county and sealed with the Commissioners seaL The law says: Section £898, R. S. 1981.—"Auditors are authorized to take acknowledgements of deeds and mortgages executed for the security of trust funds required to be loaned by them." These instruments by virtue of law become county, or public business, hence, the seal of the Board of Commissioners must be attached together with the signature of the official whose doty the law makes ic to execute such writing. The seal of the Board of Commissioners is not the seal of John L. Goben, and can only be legally placed upon mh instruments as the law especially provides. All papers, certificates, etc., passing through his hands, having a public interest, by virtue of acts of the Board of Commissioners must have that seal and cone other. Deeds and mortgages of a private nature he cannot under the statute perscribing his duty, place the seal upoD. The act of 1859 legalized a lot of just such conveyances as these, and if Indiana has many Auditors suoh as Montgomery county has, another Legislature will probably have alike job. The deeds referred to may be found recorded in Deed Record 66,pages 3G4 and 30.0. The first is from James H. Oliphant and Catherine, his wife, to John C. Canine, for part of the west half of the west half of the northeast quarter of section 20, township 17, range 6, 5 acre®. Tne second is from James H. Oliphant and Catherine, his wife, to John C. Canine, for the west half of the northwest quarter of section 17, township 17, range 0, SO acres. No other Auditor of this county has ever so construed the law, ner has ever dared to do this thing. But this is Goben. He bus defied law, defied the public, de fied everything until his defiance has become notorious, and this little thing of course will not trouble his conscience much. .•
The day sec-xns not far off when Greekwill be on a par with Sanscrit as far as tli study of it in ordinary colleges is concerned. Mr. Welldtm, head master of the famous English school of Harrow, emphatically advocates abolishing Greek as a compulsory study both in school and college. A singular reaaon he offers for this is that it is in the interests of the Greek language itself. If Greek is an elective study then only Utose who are attracted to it from love of it will take up. Consequently they will become accomplished Greek scholars, while the toys who are palled into it agairat their will never reach anything but iodide rent raccem in this language. He would therefore leave it free to attrrct by a natural elective principle ttaee who woald expand and nourish Greek scholarship. In plaoe of Gzeek he would sobRtitate either modern languages or scieoBfic atody.

NEW ORLEANS. March 14.—A call appears in tho mornjng papers signed by a hundred loading citizens calling a mass-meeting "to assemble at the Clay statue at 10 o'clock a. in., to take stops to remedy tile failure of justice in the Honne.ssy ease. tome prepared for action." the notices say.
All day Ion# an immense crowd surrounded tho court building anxiously waitirig for the verdict. It waso'clock when the jury came with it into court. It was: "Not guilty—Joseph 1*. Macheca. Antonio Marches!, Antonio liagnetto. Asperi Marchesi {the loy1, Hastianp lncardonn, Charles Miitrango. Mistrial— Manuel l'olitz. I'ietro Mo-na.-terio. Antonio Scoft'edi.
The report was a startling1surprise to the judge, and tlie.lawyersof tile state. The sheriff had Cleared the courtroom of all but the .lawyers, reporters and court attaches. The result, when it became kno.vn to the great crowd in waiting in the streets, was received first with incredulous denial but as its truth was assured the air \va- torn with shouts of rage and derision. The jurymen with a seared look on their faees lost themselves in the crowd as soon as possible. Some apprehended violence, but. fortunately, none was offered.
The eommitte of fifty was called together Friday night to consider the matter. The evening papers published extras proclaiming tnat the jury had been corrupted. There were some joyful manifestationsfon the part of the* Sicilian residents. As soon as the verdict became known Italian people began to appear along the levee and by night hundreds were there. The accused were sent back to the parish prison, as another charge, that of lying in wait to commit murder. is pending against them, but they will not be tried, as tiieir lives cannot be again imperiled by the law. and the state will in a day or two nolle pros the case and the men will go free.
The district-attorney declared he should investigate the alleged bribing of the jury. It is known that large sums of money have been received and expended by the defense: it is estimated as high as 000 or S100,000. Italians all over the country were made to contribute. Two dollars apiece was taxed upon Italian farm laborers and paid. Thousands of dollars eame from New York and Chicago and every day brings in more collections. Thomas J. Semmes, the lawyer, loaned the use of his name to the case for. it it alleged, a Si0.000 fee.
All Italian schooners and luggers in port, and they are numerous, are" decorated with (lags in honor of the m. diet.

FOSTER GOES TO SPAIN.
BU MlfMun 1ft 111.' Completion of a h*l« prtM-ity Treaty with Cuba. NEW YOKK, March 14.—The fact that Hon. .1. \V. Foster, ex-minister to Spain, and .lames l. Itlaine. Jr.. started for Kurope last Wednesday on the Teutonic was kept rather quiet, and little save the fact that they hnd gone was published. The mission of the former is an important one and of general interest, for he goes to Spain to further the reciprocity treaty lietween the United States and Cuba through the mother country, Spain. Mr. Foster has been prominent in the reciprocity negotiations with South American countries. 11 is experience in Spain as minister aud his connection with tho I.atiu-Anierican countries has made him very valuable to Mr. l'.laine and the state department. It is a well-known fact that the next reciprocity proclamation will be with jba, ainl Mr. Ulaino has In-nt his greatest energies to this end. .Mr.
Foster goes over to smooth out and arrange some of the final matters. The sugar question with Cuba is becoming of vital importance. The enormous production of beet sugar in Kurope has so seriously affected the cane sugar production of Cuba that, with the exception of the Spanish peninsula. Cuba is completely crushed out of the European sugar market. Hence the island i.s now practically dependent on the market of the United States. Cuba is bound up in this trade a'l her interests, sueh as plantations, railroads and hundreds of minor industries in the agricultural and mechanical trades, depend upon it, and hence her great desire for this treaty. Mr. Klaine has been very busy on it, and the departure of Mr. Foster means that the negotiations are nearly completed.
