Friday morning when she goes to Sheldon to give a concert in the church of Rev. L. P. Cain.
Funeral of 3In. Will Coleman. The funeral services over the remains of the late Mrs. William Coleman were held at her late residence 209 West Market street, at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
The service at the house was con ducted by the Rev. G. P. Fuson. of the Baptist church, assisted by the Rev. W J.Howe, of the Christian church,and it opened with the hymn, chosen by Mr Coleman, "Jesus. Lover of my Soul.'' which was sung to the beautiful tune of Dr. Dyke's, known as "Hollingside."'
A scripture reading and prayer fol lowed: and this was succeeded by the hymn, "Rock of Ages,'"also of Mr.Coleman's selection: the words being set to Redhead's solemn 7-G in D.
The Rev. G. P. Fuson then gave an address, and his words were listened to with much attention by the numerous body of friends and relatives, who had assembled to pay the last tribute of respect and affection to the deceased lady. The mournful procession then formed, and started to the cemetery to the strains of Handel's Dead March in Saul.
The siucere and abundant grief of those who took part in the sad cere rnony amply testified to the esteem the departed lady had gained on every hand by her many excellent qualities The choir of St. John's church kindly assisted in the musical portion of the service and their courtesy in this matter was fully appreciated by the be reared ones. The pall-bearers were selected from the members of the P. O. S. of A., of which order Mr. Coleman was a member, they being Parker Willis. II. F. McClamrock, Will Bappert, Fred Sagerliolm, Sam Billman and Harry Connard.
How It Occurred.
The remains of the late William Harris arrived here this morning. His death, it seems, was the result of an operation. His legs were crushed be tween the bumpers of two freight cars so that amputation was necessary. He was not strong enough to bear the shock so death ensued. The funeral occurs to-morrow at 2 o'clock, and will be conducted by Rev. Jackman.

THAT $18,000 SCHOOL BUILDING.
A Suggestion which if Carried Into Execution will Obviate the Necessity of It* Construction,:• S..V
To the Editor The Journal. It is plainly evident that our school facilities are inadequate for the seating of all the children in the city. The numbers are constantly increasing from year to year until now we have more children than we have rooms to place them. The trustees have finally reached the conclusion that there is no way out of the straits in which they find themselves than to erect another school building. This will cost S1S.000. If this was the last resort, this step is the proper one to take. But it will occur to some minds that all the means to increase the school room facilities hare not yet been exhausted.
It is well known fact that the colored children have not made the progress that they should have made. It seems almost impossible to secure a teacher who can properly discipline the children and govern the school. It is reported to be a bedlam. What should be done, then, is to abolish the colored schools and distribute the pupils among the different rooms where white children go. It would be better for^the colored children and would in no way disgrace the white children This should have been the policy from the beginning and it was a mistaken idea that there should be separate schools. This plan would place at the disposal of the trustees an excellent building with ample room for two or three years before another house would be required. This plan is not onlyfeasible but it is right. In view of the exigency which is now upon the city in regard to water works and a sewerage system the trustees and the City Council should seriously consider this proposition not only in the light of advancing civilization, but in the light of economy and a judicious expenditure of public money.
A Liberal Citi/f.n.
Gen. Wallace's Apartment Hou»e. Indianapolis .Yncs: The plans and elevation have been completed and the ground has has been broken for the building to be erected by Lew Wallace at the northwest corner of Meridian and Vermont streets. The purpose of the building will be to meet the demand for apartments near the center of the city. The height will be seven stories. The entrance will be in Meridian street, a tiled floor leading to the main stairway and elevator, which will be centrally located and directly accessible to the three suites of rooms on each floor. The halls will be well lighted and ventilated. Additional stairways and freight elevators are to be in the rear. The difficult problem of how to make all rooms front rooms has been nearly solved without sacrificing convenient or exclusiveness. Exposed plumbing will embrace the improved methods of that important art. Hardwood floors, porcelain baths electric fittings and careful elevator service will contribute the modern comforts. The outside finish will correspond with the interior. It will be of dark red pressed brick, with stone facings. Elaborate bay-windows and plate glass, it has been thought, make further onaments inelegant and out of harmony with the surroundings. The housekeepers will have an abundance of closet-room, and the laundries in the basement will be provided with soft water. The foundations and su perstructure are calculated for ten sto ries. It was thought best for the future to have all of extreme strength The building is to be fire-proof, with hollow tile and concrete floors and partitions, steel girders and columns.
Cure for Smallpox.
A correspondent to the Inter Ocean writes that a sure cure for smallpox and scarlet fever which ex-Rev. Adirondac Murray claims to be as infallible as fate is composed of one grain of sulphate of zinc, one grain of digitallis (commonly known as fox-glove) and a half-teaspoonful of sugar. This is to be thoroughly mixed with two tea spoonfuls of water and four ounces of water added. The dose for adults is one teaspoonful every hour and for children smaller doses according to age.
Murray says: "The medicine is harmless and is recommended by the best schools in Paris. I have cured my children of scarlet fever and others of smallpox when the doctors said the patients must die. Either disease under this treatment will disappear in twelve hours. If the countries would compel their phj-sicians to use it there would be no need of pesthouse&"
Steer Clear of Him.
C. P. Groves, the alleged mining king of Montana, was in ^he Joi'rxal office this morning and denied that he had sold any of his stock to colored people in this city. Groves is not exactly a prepossessing looking mining king although he is certainly black enough to be king of a coal mine. Groves protests that his business is legitimate although his elucidation is of an incomprehensible character. The colored people of Crawfordsville will do well if they steer clear of this gentleman. His stock is evidently valueless and when a man expects to get something for nothing he invariabl gets left. Freeze onto your 85 and when you need it buy bacon. "Miuing stock" will take care of itself.

A business man was kicking to-day because the electric lights do not burn long enough on dark cloudy days. He says that some are thinking of changing to natural gas on this account.

COMBINATIONS AND COMBINATIONS.
A Few Gue««ee as to the Outcome of the Convention on June 2.
A well posted Republican politician who has taken the pains to look into the situation predicts the following ticket:
Representative—E. T. McCrea. Prosecuting At torney— Dumont Kennedy.
Auditor—W. M. White. Treasurer—Wm. Johnson. Sheriff—C. E. Davis. Surveyor—H. E. Wyncoop. C-ornoner—E. W. Keegan. Commissioner—Hannibal Trout. —Henry W. Harding. Another Republican equally as well informed and who has studied the situation, mgikes this prediction:
Representative—A. M. Scott. Prosecuting Attorney—W. M.Reeves. Auditor—B. B. Rusk. Treasurer—J. B. Rice. Sheriff—C. E. Davis. Surveyor—W. F. Sharpe. Coroner—Paul J. Barcus. Commissioner—John Peterson. —John L. Davis And still another who is just as well informed as either of the above says the ticket will be:
Representative—E. T. McCrea. Prosecuting Attorney—F. P. Mount, Auditor—G. W. Wasson. Treasurer—J. O. McCormick. Sheriff—C. E. Davis. Surveyor—H. C. McCiuer. Coroner—E. W. Keegan. Commissioner—II. Trout. —Scott Darter. And still another from one well posted man and who is in a position to know, says the ticket will be:
Representative—A. M. Scott. Prosecuting Attorney—Dumont Kennedy.
Auditor—J. A. MeClure. Treasurer—E. H. O'Neall or R. M. Bible.
Surveyor—W. F. Sharpe. Coronor—Paul J. Barcus. Commissioner—John Peterson. Commissioner—A. B. Flannigan.
The
Jot-RSAL is of the opinion that none of those who are making predictions know anything more than less pretentious politicians. It is not prob able that any of the above combinations will get through just as they are minted.
Government Crop Bulletin. The warm weather the first half of the week and numerous good rains continued to be beneficial to crops but from Friday the temperature fell to amost freezing during the nights and great injury to the crops was only prevented by continuous cloudy weath er: snow, in the northern portion and rains in the southern: on Thursda hail and strong wind did injury to wheat, fences and trees in many local ities: wheat is heading now nearly ev ervwhere it is very rank: clover and rye are in bloom and pasturage in most excellent condition fruit is falling off the planting of corn is not finished yet everywhere because of frequent and in some localities very heavy rains, but little planting could be done: the Hessian fly and cut worms still arc doing much damage in some fields: light frosts occurred in few localities on the lMh. 19th annd 20th.
A Lightning Rod Xote.
The jury returned a verdict for the defendant this afternoon in the case of Ezra Voris against Jacob M. Ilarshbarger, administrator of D. Arnold, deceased. Mr. Arnold in his life time had been induced to sign a note for S200 by a lightning rod shark and the note fell into the hands of Ezra Voris. The jury decided against Mr. Voris on the ground that Arnold was of unsound mind. The principal evidence of this fact seemed to be that of the witness who testified that he had been married four times and was "the hottest man for the fifth woman he ever saw."

fcTo Free an Innocent Man. Ml-n-cie, Ind., May 22.—A story which shows the unreliability of circumstantial evidence when it is the sole proof of crime came to light here Tuesday.
A
man giving the name of John Crow, supposed to have been murdered nine years ago near Big Rapids, Mich., by his brother-in-law, John Vanneman, left here Tuesday for the Michigan state prison at Jackson to obtain the release of Vanneman, who is now serving a life term there for the supposed murder. The facts in the case, as told by Crow in the depot while he was awaiting the train for Jackson are as follows: "I am going to free a man who has been In tbe penitentiary nine years and is Innocent I am supposed to be dead. In the eye of the law I was murdered nine years ago this month near Big Rapids, Mich., and now a man named John Vanneman, my brother-in-law.

A
2j.—A
peculiar
political tangle has arisen here. At the recent city election the republican ticket was elected for the first time in twenty years. The state election law requires officers-elect to qualify within five days nfter their election, and upon failure to do so they shall be subject to a fine of S10, and the act taken as an indication that they do not want the offloe. Mayor-elect Carson, Treas-urer-elect Petersoq and Water Trusteeelect Brooks failed to qualify within the time limit, and democrats now claim they are ineligible and that the old democratic officials will hold office by virtue of the clause in the law which says old officials shall remain in ofilce until their successors are elected and qualify. The best lawyers in La Porte have been consulted but they cannot agree. The majority hold that the will of the people cannot be thwarted by legal technicalities. The matter will probably be referred to the attorney general. Meantime the democrats are holding the offices.
en
trance to the city hall guarded by police, the council in extraordinary session and several hundred unemployed men on the streets in a body were scenes enacted here. Early Tuesday forenoon fifty Poles congregated at the city fountain and publicly discussed their grievances, which seemed to be the effect of an excavating mar chine used on a big sewer contract which takes the place of fifty men. Citizens succeeded in pacifying the crowd, but only for a while. In the afternoon 350 men gathered and marched to the central police sta tion. While the men were comparatively quiet they made threats to destroy the machine nnless the contractors or some one took action. Mayor Leeper called a special meeting of the council, but no action was taken beyond referring the matter to a committee.
