Sammy Randolph's Trial.
Sammy Randolph, alias "The .Tolly Old Burglar," will appear in the circuit court to-morrow for trial. The case against him is the burglarizing of Bischof's Bazaar and the trial promises to be an iiiterest}ng one. Sammy will plead not guilty.
The Oil Gas.
The oil gas is now in general use all over the oity and is giving great satisfaction. Lj is a decided improvement over the coal gas and gives a much more steady and brilliant light. The change was a great step forward and Orawfordsville now has the beat gas plant in the State.
Sudden Death.
Thomas B. Johnson lived near New Market until about five years ago, when he went to Witchita, Kansas. A short time ago he decided to return to this county to end his days, he being 83 years old, He started and got as far as Decatur, 111., where he stopped to visit a married daughter. On Saturday night he retired in his usual good health aud was feeling well at five o'clock yesterday norning, but botween that time and eix, when ho was alone, he quietly passed away. The remains were brought here and interred in the Masonic cemetery.
The Uollectorship
i'lght.
Judging from this morning's Washington dispatches the collectorship light is not exactly settled. A epeuial to the Indianapolis Sentinel says:
Congressman Brookshire feels yen confident that Hulett will bo appointed He will pland by him to the last whiliSsnntor Voorhees will staud by Jump. This contest will be carried on without any bad feeling among tho members Senator Voorhees and Congressmnn Brookshire are on the very best terms although both have candidates of their own for the same place. The appointment of Hawkins for marshal, it is thought, will injure Jump's changes as Hawkins and Jump reside in adjoining counties.
The Indianapolis Journal's correspon dent put it in the following light: Senator Voorhees said to-day that there would be no chunge in either thfrevenue collectorships before August a! the earliest. Meanwhile the opponents of Joshua Jump are trying the consoli date the field against him, and are mak ing some headway. Of his rivals, Samuel Ralston seems to be the most active Hie personal "pull" on Cleveland it. worrying the friends of Jump. Ralston patiently wails about the corridors,smileion everybody he meets, and says thf collectorship in the Seventh distriot it far from settled yet. Hon. John E Lamb, who was appealed to by JumpV friends to come on and add his influence to that of Governor Matthews in favoi of Jump, was e.xpecten here before this, but if here lie was not visible to tho naked ove of the hosts of waiting Demo nrals who want to tie onto his tow-line.
The Street Gar Ordinance.
Tho committee on ordinances instead of reporting either one of tho two street oar ordinances proposed by the Kankakee aud vLogansport people have mailt one of their own and will introduce to-night. It will probably be passed, and any company complying with iU provisions will be granted a franchise. Tho rail will be specified and the company will be required to keep up the street between the traekn and for a foot outside. The style of cars will be spec ified, and only four miles of track need be laid at first. In order to protect the oity against bluffers a certified check for $200 or more must bo deposited by the company in favor of the oity to bo returned when tho tracks have been laid. The ordinance will protect the city's interest in every way and yet is so liberal that, there is no doubt but it will be accepted by a reliable company. The Kankakee parties have in fact already signified their intention of doing so and A I F. Ramsey is to meet the committee this afternoon to talk the matter over for the company in whioh he |is interested. A clause providing that the oity may buy the system at an appraised value in the course o? ten years should be inserted.
It would do no harm and might do a great deal of good for future generations. Municipal of street car lines is rapidly following that of water and light and we should be prepared to full in linn.

THE MAFOBOF 1'OBT WAYNE.
He Speaks Out In Favor of Seweraee Before Paved Streets. In beginning the work of permanent improvements there is notning like investigation. Therefore, THE JOURNAL has written to the Mayors and Engineers of several cities for their opinions on sawerago and paving. Mayor Zollinger of Fort Wayne, writeB as follows:
FCBT WAYNE, Ind., March 15, 1893.— Mr DEAR SIR.—In reply to yours of the 4th inst. I will say that the correct course for your council to pursue is before they order permanent improvements in the way of pavements, it is necessary to have a perfect system of sewerage. Every city should have good sewerage above everything else. As you say, when streets are paved it ruins them to have them dug up for sewers or anv other purpose. I will also say that in ray opinion brick pavements well put down are the best pavement for the cost now in uso. Very truly yours,
O. A. ZOLLINGER, Mayor.

New Grocery Firm.
A new grocery Arm has been made by tho union in business of Henry Sloan and Jeff Stuart. They will take possession of their new quarters on north Washington ^street in few days. Mr. Smart has been for years in the employ of D. L. Lee & Son and is thoroughly iiflicient and popular. Mr. Sloan has long been at the head of a good business and the two will doubtless enjoy a large patronage.
—Dr. Etter has returned from a trip to Chicago and the EaBt.

He was tendered the superintendency of a large eleotrical factory in Erie, Pa., and has the accep tance under consideration. The salary offered is quite tempting, to SBy the least.
THF. OCEAN DRYING UP.
Concltislonft Reached by Newton and Indorsed by Later Scientists. Newton, the great Sir Isaac, surmised, although he could give no reason for the conclusions he had reached, that in the course of time the earth would become, perfectly dry. Others, most notably De Verne, Hamilton (Prof. A. L.) and tho younger Lysander, believed that eventually the earth would become as dry as the proverbial chip. Even in this day and age the theory has many adherents. At a recent meeting of the French Geological society M. Transchold, of Moscow, Russia, read a paper entitled "Noninvariability of the level of the ocean." ft terminated with the following curious and interesting conclusions: 1. In proportion as certain parts of the earth's crust rise from the bottom of tho sea above its level the latter must be lowered. 3. The surfaces of nearly all the continents and islands have at one time formed portions of the "ocean's floor. They have risen from the water partly because of the retreat of the waters. 8. As continents are formed, one part of the waters of the seas is transported to them in tho form of lakes, rivers, eternal snows, glaciers and organized substances. Owing to these actions the waters of the oceans have been constantly diminishing and their levels lowered correspondingly. 4. In proportion as the earth cools down ice accumulates near the poles and on tho tops of mountains, water is taken more deeply into the surface of the terrestial crust, tho formation of hydrated minerals being manifested everywhere.
The result of these conclusions i9 that since all the water that ever existed may still exist in the form of perpetual ice. snow, hydrated minerals, etc., tlie waters of all oceans have been gradually disappearing, and that the lowering of the oceans is going on even at the present day, and faster perhaps than ever before.
LONDON'S BIG BEN.
TLIO I.nrffi-St Striking flock in tho Wlio'.E World. Between the palace yard at Westminster and the top of the clock tower which marks the hours for parliament there are four hundred and twenty steps
The clock from which Ilig Bon strikes the hour is, according to the Pall Mull liudget, the largest in the world. Looking at the dial from the northern footway of Great George street, or from the Embankment, it looks as if its diameter might be equal to the space that a man of medium size could cover with outstretched arms. This estimate hardly does the dial justice, for its diameter is twenty-threo feet From the ground the minutes on the dial look like ordinary minutes, aud as if they wore close together. As a matter of fact, they are a foot apart. The numerals are two feet long. The minute hand, with tho counterbalance the heavy end that projects beyond tho center of the dial— is fifteen feet in length. This hand is so massive that during a snowstorm sometimes the clock is retarded by the weight of the flakes that alight upon it.
Twenty men could stand under Hig Ben in a rainstorm and escape a wetting if the rain fell in an exact perpendicular and stayed where it fell.

When the light is being fixed two men Btand in tho lantern, and they have plenty of room. This parliament light is now a conspicuous object in London.
ONE WAY TO TAME RATS.
Half Drown Them and Then Jfurso Tliem llack to l.ife. Five large gray rats are tho peculiar pets of a man In this city, says the Philadelphia I'resa. Tho rodents evince great alfection for him, following him about the house like dogs, run up his sleeve and come out at tho breast, nestle around the rim of his hat and perform a variety of tricks such as leaping through a wire hoop and drawing a coach, four of them acting as horses and one as driver.
Asked how he had tai led the rate the man answered: "It Is very easy when you know how." "Well, what Is the how?" "Simply, I trap a rat in a cage and then examine him carefully to see if he Is young and not too vicious. Having selected a proper specimen 1 take him to the yard and drop him In a barrel half filled with water. If he tries to clamber up the sides I throw him back and keep him In the water until he is completely exhausted. When he is just about to go under I take him out, pour a little brandy down his throat with a syringe and take him to tho stove, where I wrap him in a piece of blanket, coddle him and nurse him back to life. So grateful is he- that he remains my slave forever after, fawns on me and becomes quite a pet"
Under the Pacific.
If the Pacific could be laid bare, we should have a most singular spectacle. There would be a number of mountains with truncated tops scattered over it, and those mountains would have an appearance just the reverse of that presented by the mountains we sec on shore. Von know that tho mountains on the shore are covered with vegetation at thci bases, while their tops aro barren or covered with snow but these mountains would be perfectly bare at their bases, and all round their tops they would be covered with beautiful vegetation of coral polypes.

THE SCARF PIN WAS ALIVE.
How A Colorado Miner Reformed a Convivial Traveling Man. "There is a Colorado miner who is a new kind of a temperance reformer. Being the owner of mines he is enabled to travel, and a few days ago he arrived in Chicago on his way home from Florida. Just to be eccentric, says the Chicago News, he bought a chameleon down south and had it fastened' to the end of a little gold chain, so that he could wear it as a scarf decoration. The lizardish little reptile was about three inches long and, like all of its kind, changcd the snakisli color of its body when disturbed. The owner walked up to the.hotel bar with a traveling man who had been "laying over" in Chicago three days, raising his expense account and other things. The traveling man did not see the thing on the scarf until he had poured his drink. Then he glared hard. "What's that?" he asked. "What's what?" "That—scarf pin?" "I wear no scarf pin." The chameleon flirted its tail and crawled out on the lapul of the coat, as the owner brushed his hand toward the scarf. "Holy scissors, it's alive!" shouted the traveling man. "What's alive?" and the miner again brushed the little animal, which crawled under his vest. Then he looked down and said "Now, do you see anything?"
The traveling man stood, shaky and pale, looking for the thing to reappear. "No more liquor for me," said he, suddenly, and made a rush for the elevator. l!y the time the crowd broke into a laugh lie wits too far away to hear
Papal iti£ht6.
The pope was tho loser in a will case settled the other day. The Marquis de Plessis-Tielliero had made him his sole legatee, but the natural heirs contested. The first court, according to the report, decided for the pope. On appeal his holiness lost. The procureur general maintained that thepope, as a sovereign chief of the papacy, had no right to possess property in France. If such a principle were admitted, he said, foreign nations would be able to acquire in France canals, railways and land adjoining forts. Besides, continued the procureur general, the pope is no longer an ordinary sovereign his sovereignty is of a special nature since 1870. He no longer represents other than a collection of ideas, incapable of acquiring property—viz., Chrir.tianitv
