L:I.—The ltig-

Kour Express train No. 7. west bound, was wrecked Fontanet, Vijro eounty, the scene of yesterday's depredations, at 2 o'clock this morning'. The engineer and fireman were killed, and several passengers are reported injured. The engine, baggage and express ear aud day coach are piled in the ditch a broken mass. The names of the killed are Charles Moelirman, engineer, aud Charles Flick, fireman, ltoth men were buried under the wreck. The engineer and fireman both lived in Indianapolis. The train went west from here at midnight. As it started from the Union station the depot master said to the engineer, "Well. Charley, how is everything tonight?" "All right. I hope," Moelirman replied, "but there is one place where I fear trouble. The strikers at Fontanet have been interfering with trains." These were his last words here. At Fontanet a rail had beeu loosened,the engine rolled over and the two men were killed. The affair has caused profound indignation and troops will-be ordered to Fontanet if there is any sign of a continuance of guerilla warfare.

Spcclal to Tl'e Journal. INDIANAPOLIS, July 13.—The first conviction of strikers in Indiana was in Judge Baker's federal court to-day. James Moriarity and Robert Robuek were sentenced to ninety days in jail this morning for contempt of court. They violated the federal blanket restraing order by killinga Pennsylvania railroad engine. John l!uck, also a defendant, was not convicted. Judge liaker likened the defendants to murderers at heart. His severe words created a sensation.

Dr/IIunt'ft Arreot.

The Ladoga Lauler contains the following additional information concerning the arrest of Dr. Hunt, mention of which was made in yesterday's JOIHNAI.:

Wednesday night at midnight Mrs. Josephine Stewart was brought by her father and brothers from Hendricks county into Clark township, and there at the roadside she made atlidavit to the statement that J. A. W. Hunt, the dentist, is the father of her unborn child. Hunt was arrested on the charge yesterday morning and taken before Justice Witt for trial, but the woman was in a condition too delicate to allow her to be present, and the case was continued until August 23. Hunt's bond was fixed at 5400 which he had not given when he went to press.

Mrs. Stewart is the daughter of Jonathan Stewart, a well known and highly respected citizen of Hendricks junty. She married a man named Stewart, but they have not lived together for two years, and have no children. It is claimed that the woman has always borne a good reputation.

The schenu of organization will be upon what is known as the Dayton plan now so popular in building association circles all over the countr ably be shares of $100 each. The dues will lie payable monthly and divided into three classes, those who Jpay 50 cents per month per share, those who pay 75 cents per month per share and those who pay SI per month per share. This is intended to accommodate alio lasses. Another feature is that it will be arranged so that stock can be subscribed at any time.

ItrookKtiiru'a Kuemle* Scheming to Kccomc "IJfclegatetMm the 1'roxy l'laii.

The way Brookshire's Democratic enemies have been swearing and sweating about the streets this week has been sutlicient notice of the fact that they are out for blood, of course, it is patent to all that they wish do lirookshire all the harm they can in the approaching convention and aren't exactly scrupulous as to how they do it. They cannot hope to accomplish anything without a good healtliy representation in the delegate body scut from this county to the convention. To obtain sueli a representation is what they are after. They had a ticket all cut and dried yesterday and intended to marshal all their forces and capture the Union township convention. The publication of their plans in last evening's JOI R.VAI.. however. aroused the lirookshire Democrats, who greatly outnumber the kickers and that scheme hit the ground with the dull thud of a fat woman in a side show falling from a hot air balloon. The kickers are obliged to take refuge in the brush and devise other means of exercising their heels. After due deliberation a plan was hit upon. It was decided to go to the convention and bring up a ticket of avowed lirookshire men aud elect it, having with each delegate the power to select his alternate. The ticket chosen for election is composed of men whose business will deter them from attending the convention and the kickers hope by earnest and,prayerful solicitation to obtain their proxies. They will promise anything to get them and then—look out! Such is the plan but this disclosure of the ambush will doubtless compel the 111311 to resort to something new. They are on the hog train and will doubtless go down to-morrow in the dark waters of defeat like a skunk in a kettle.

Firth as Scavengers.

Fish have their uses to humanity over and abovo serving as food material or as unwilling caterers to the sport of the fisherman. Although it may seem odd so to speak of them, they often are as indispensable to a conntry place as a dog or a cat. If that country place happens to be one that is supplied with running water, and this is used for ornament in ponds or fountains, two things are pretty sure to bother the owner. One is the well known green scum which spreads over the waters of ponds and fountain basina When its growth begins, the plant is pretty. It Btarts from the bottom as soon as the sun gots high, in May or June, and sends upward a delicate, graceful, wavy thread of vivid green. Until it reaches the surface it remains pretty, but once there it spreads along pud rots and is soon offensive in several ways. The other nuisance from standing water, evon when it is often renewed and directly from tho springs, is mosquitoes. The wigglers grow there. Tho remedy for both ct these troublos is flsh, and the two kinds that will cure thom happen to be the two most desirable for other reasons. Goldfish will keep the green sciim from growing, and yellow porch, or, as they are generally called, sunflsh, will destroy the mosquito wigglers. The sunflsh one has to catch, but the goldfish can be bought, two for a quarter, in tho flsh and bird stores of this city.—New York Sun.

Opportunities

Someone has said that "every face ought to be beautiful at 40," and another that "no old person has a right to be ugly, because he has had all his life in which to grow beautiful." That is to Bay that life's opportunities of nobleness, of even 40 years of opportunity, if well used, are enough to make so much beauty within that it cannot help coming to the surface in graceful habits of the nerves and muscles. The transfiguration of a pleasant smile, kindly lightings to the eyes, restful lines of self control about the lips, pure shining of the face as great thoughts kindle inwardly— these things no parent makes inevitably ours and no fitful week or two of goodness gives them, and no schooling of the visage eithor, but only habitual nobleness and graciousness within, and this will give them all. Nor does a wise man think he has watched the quick expressions which flit across the face unconsciously. The truth will out, and in these flashing motions sometimes" we catch the rascals under a handsome mask, and sometimes catch the angel where we had not looked for one.—Rev. W.

HOW EDDINGER DIED.

Tht) CtMlforiiiu Murderer Threw

His

tlnmls Wttli a IMstot In Oue, The particulars of the killing of F. S. Eddinger, the mau who robbed Teamstor Otto Hampton of Joso & Ellery's freight money and tho murderer of his employer, E. W. Joso, whom ho had shot and fatally wounded on tho night of Juno 10 at Lewistou, Trinity ooiuity, while tho latter was trying to arrest him for tho robbery, show that the fugitivo was shot through tho hoart with a rifle ball fired by Deputy Sheriff Chaso.

After Jose had teen shot Sheriff Bowie of Weavervillo, Trinity oounty, took up tho trail of tho murderer at Lewiston and tracked him to within five miles of Redding, lie oarno into Bedding and notified the officers hero that he was certain that tho robber was heading for the railroad, and that he was positive that he was on the right track.

Constable Plelsoh and Deputy Sheriff Chase took the trail, proceeding to Cottonwood, Shasta county, until within a milo of that place, where tho road oroeses the railroad track, whero they stopped, each taking one side of the road. Soon they saw Edilingor coming down the road and commanded him to halt. When tho robber stopped, Chase said, "Throw up your hands.''

Tho robber answered, "I have done nothing." There came a shot from Pleisch's gun over the robber's head and again the injunction, "Throw up your hands."

The robber threw both hands np and at tho same time his pistol. Chase could not see the pistol in his hand. Tho robber remarked: "There 1 My hands aro up and nothing in them."

Thoro was a fence between Chaso and the robber, and Chase was obliged to climb over. When ho had got over, he noticed the pistol in tho robber's hancL Leveling his rifle, Chaso said, "Drop that pistol," when tho robber lowered his hand and at tho same timo commenced firing.

After two shots Chase fell on his knees, and tho robber, "thinking he had killod his pursuer, turned and commenced shooting at Pleisch. While in this condition Chaso took deliberate aim with his rifle and sent a bullet through the robber's heart, killing him instantly.—Redding Cor. San Francisco Chronicle.

QUITE A CHARACTER.

Doath of the Last SIHVO Sold at Auction In New Haven. Mrs. Lois Tritton, colored, died at her home in this city Monday at the age of 05. She has long been a local celebrity from tho fact that she was tho last slave sold at public auction in this city in 1825. The original papers of this transaction are in the possession of ex-Governor Iugersoll and show that its purpose was to give her her freedom. Tho sale was by the sheriff under an execution issued on a former judgment against her owner, hnman goods and chattels having been levied on to satisfy an execution. The sheriff's return is dated March 10, 1825, and recites that on tho 8th of March, 1825, by virtue of the execution, he sold Lucy, tho mother, and Lois Tritton, the daughter, as the property of the defendant, to Anthony P. Sanford for $10. A deed of manumission from Mr. Sanford accompanies the documents.

Mrs. Tritton was born in Halifax on Christmas eve, 1799, and visited this city with a family named Tritton in 1820. It was from this family she received the name of Tritton. She returned to Nova Scotia, but came to New Haven again in 1824 or 1825, and after being sold to Mr. Sanford was given her liberty. She has resided here over since and was a member of Trinity Episcopal church.—New Haven Special.

Loyal Deputation of Thieves. Manufacturing popular support for royalty has awkward effects sometimes. Tho other day a so called loyal deputation of subjects waited upon the king of Sorvia to thank him for trampling upon their liberties by suspending the constitution. According to the ancient custom, they were entertained at a luncheon, at which sladko, the national dish, was served to them on gold plates. After their departure it was discovered that some spoons, which were also of gold, had disappeared. Tho men wero followed, and tho spoons wero found in their pockets. It seems that the deputation consisted of men picked up on the highways, who wore paid by the polico to play tho part of admiring subjects.— London Letter.

Those Ancient Coins*

The treasuro in ancient coins lately discovered by masons at Mouleverd is believed to be important, tho coins bolonging to tho last centuries before tho Christian era aud being extremely diverso in character, representing all tho emblems of the ancient colony of Tarantino. Tho treasure seiems to have been that of an army on tho march, probably that under Hannibal, and from the different coins it contains tho route of tho army can be determined, as money was requisitioned on the way.

lrumtt of Aluminium*

The uses to which aluminium is put aro constantly extending. Thus far three entire regiments of the Prussian guards are furnished with big drums mado of the new metal, and not only aro a number of regiments of tho line shortly to be provided with them, but it is expeoted that they will gradually bo introduced into all the military bands. Asido from tho important advantago of lighter weight, they have proved to omit a fuller and richer sound.—Paris American Register.

Unlearned, but Wise.

"I'm after justice rather than law," said John Dudley, who for 21 years, from 1770 to 17U1, was ono of tho most popular judges of New Hampshire. Ho was unloarned in tho law, and his education was so dcfoctivo that he could not write five consecutive sentencos in correct English. Yet so acceptably did ho disehari(o his judicial duties that Chief Justice Parsons of Massachusetts, one of the most learned of lawyers, said of him, "We may smile at his law and ridicule his language, yet Dudley, take him all in all, was tho greatest and best judge I evor knew in New Hampshire. —Youth's Companion.

QUEER PHYSICAL PHENOMENON.

An Knglish Lady Saw the Specter of a Frieml in a Graveyard, I was ono morning a short while ago walking with a friend, Miss B., in our churchyard. As we emerged from the shadow of tho trees on the west end of the church I saw distinctly tho figure of a man approach tho south gate, which is tho main entrance, pass through it and come up the path, which was only a little distance from us, toward tho church. I said to Miss B., "That is Mr. Tate, whom you know we are expecting to visit us today."

At tho samo instant, so boautifully fine and calm was tho morning, I heard the train by which the gentleman referred to was to have come leaving the next station. Miss B., who did not know Mr. Tate personally, at onoe looked across in tho direction indicated and remarked that instead of going into tho church, as I had thought was his intention, ho passed directly on to the spot under tho shado of the trees we had just left. Together Miss B. and I stood for a few moments by the grave we had como to see, then parted. I went to join the friend wo had seen, but to my surprise found no trace of him. On reaching my homo (a short distance) I also found that 110 oue had seen him, and eventually it turned out that he had been detained by business and was not able to come for some time.

I have formed 110 theory

011

tho sub

ject, but can affirm positively that I saw him, or, 'is north conntry people say, his wraith, at the very time he was in the llcsh at a distanco of several miles. One tiling I observed at tho timo —he never glanccd in our direction also that he carried under his arm the photographic camera he brought at a later date. I could describe minutely his dress and whole appearance. His expression was that of a person deeply absorbed in thought. Talking tho affair over afterward, Mr. Tate has told mo that at that particular timo he was regretting tho unavoidable delay of a much needed holiday in the country.— Newcastle (England) Chronicle.

THE HANDS OF A CLOCK.

Why Tliey Are Painted 011 Signs to Jtepresent the Hour of I saw in a newspaper a statement that the hands of dummy or sign clocks generally indicate 19 minutes past 8 o'clock, because at that minute and hour Abraham Lincoln died. This is an error, for history tells us that tho martyr president died at 7:22 in tho morning, a fact which can easily bo ascertained.

S01110 time since the editor of Tho Literary Digest asked our opinion why these clocks were thus painted, and our answer was printed in that journal. It seems that dummy clocks or watches indicate 8 o'clock and 18j^ minutes bocauso that is tho position on the dial whero time can bo shown, the hands being 011 opposito sides and making a perfect angle, and also being equally distant by minute marks or degrees from tho figures 12, taking these as a starting point. Wo admit, though, that the hands can bo reversed, indicating 8 o'clock 41 Lgniinutos.

Thoro is but ono other place on tho dial where tho timo would bo correct and show tho hands equally distant from the figures 12. That is at 18% minutes past 9 o'clock, or, with tho hour and minuto hands reversed, but this would not bo so desirable, as tho hands would bo almost directly at right anglos across tho face of the dial. This can bo easily tested by any one with his watch.

It must bo remembered that while tho minuto hand makes the circuit of the dial of 00 minute degrees the hour hand moves but fivo minuto degrees. Therefore the movement of the hour hand ono minuto dogroe necessitates tho movement of tho minute hand 12 minutos, or one-fifth of the whole.

We havo in our possession an old dummy sign watch used by the lato Mr. Samuel W. Benedict in tho early part of tho present century, manufactured long lief ore tho death of tho lamented Lincoln, which indicates oxactly 8:18^ o'clock.—Letter in Now York Sun.

Jewii and Chess*

In speaking of tho great number of successful chess players of tho Jewish race, and of the contest between tho two Jews, Lasker and Steinitz, for tho championship of tho world, Tho Jewish Chronicle dwells upon cortain traits which aro prominent in tho Jewish character. It maintains that the Jews are tho best chess players because of their possession of mental qualities which havo always been useful to the racesuch, for example, as quickness of apprehension, tenacity of purpose, readiness in the application of resources, the pewor of estimating probabilities and an intuition which enables them to seize tho opportune moment for developing action. These traits of mind have been marked in all the Jews who have won fame and fortune in the playing of ohesa
