Wheat Injured.

Inquiry to the Indiana wheat crop "from the recent change in temperature has been the topic of much conversation during the last two days. That the fear of damage to the grain has not been ill-founded was admitted yesterday by Mr. Wappenhaus, of the weather bureau. Mr. Wappenhaus says the recent severe change to cold weather will injure wheat merely because there is no snow on the ground to afford protection. The recent rains have permeated the ground to an unusual extent and the freeze for this reason will go much deeper. However, he thinks the damage will not be great, for the reason that wheat is dormant throughout the winter and recovers afterwards. Hut in all the area affected by the recent change from rain to extreme cold, the wheat crop will sustain more or less injury. ,r

A ***onstunt Sulisrrilx'i*/* rw Mrfc. Marparet A. Maxwell, wife of the Rev. J. S. Maxwell, called at the JOUKNAI. otlice Wednesday to renew her subscription and manifested a desire to know if any one else had feucb a record for taking a county paper as herself. She is the daughter of the late James Warbiuton and came here with bei parents in 1 StiO, when only live years old. In lS31 I. F. Wade established the Whig paper, the Hcartl, of which the JOI'UNAI. is the lineal •descendent, and at the earnest request •of Miss Margaret, Mr. Warbinton subscribed for the paper for her. She took it until it gave way to the JOUK•NAI. and then began taking the JOUKWAI. with the first issue. She has never missed a copy and although 75 years of age is able to read every word in it. Mrs. Maxwell is a very active old lady and spends much of her spare time in making lace, having made enough in the last few years to bring hfcr in pin money amounting to nearly 9100.

M'KINLEY AND HANNA,

President-Elect and National Chairman Building the Cabinet,

CI.KVicivANi), JAIL. (i.—President-elect McKinloy and Marcus A. lianna have at last tfot uown to the serious work of constructing a cabinet for.the. new administration.

There seems to bo no possible doubt but that Cornelius IS. Bliss of New York hits been offered and accepted tho bccrctaryshiir1 of the navy under the new administration.

It is said this .arrangement was accomplished at the home of Chairman Hanua on Monday afternoon in tho presence of and with the consent of the New York member of the prospective cabinet. It is the first definite step toward the construction of tho cabinet, which will probably bo followed today by a definite understanding with Senator Allison, whom Major MoKinley will meet in Canton this afternoon.

The visit of the treasurer of the National Republican committee, Mr. Bliss on Monday, was arranged with so much secrecy that it was only the chance meeting of a Cleveland acquaintauce of Mr. Bliss at the railroad station on his departure for jNew York that divulged his presence in Cleveland. Mr. Bliss arrived in Cleveland early on Monday morning and was driven directly to Mr. Manna's house where he remained in consultation both with the President-elect and the national chairman, until late in tho afternoon.

With the appointment of Mr. Bliss goes the assnrauce that Mr. Whitelaw Koid of New York, will be the next minister plenipotentiary to the court of St. James.

Senator Thnrston of Nebraska was a calipr at Windemere yesterday, lie arrived in tho city from the west and was driven directly to the home of M. A. Hanua, where he held a long conference with tho president-elect. It is understood that Senator Thurston's mission was principally to consider national legislation, to discuss cabinet timber to be had in the west and also to talk about tho Cuban question. Senator Thurston later left for Washington.

ubun Juuta and McKinloy. CLEVELAND, Jan. (5.—It developed yesterday that Honor F. G. Pierra of the Cuban junta, had a conference with President-elect McKinloy at the home of Mr. M. A. Himna Sunday, at' which the entire Cuban situation was thoroughly canvassed. Major McKinloy would not indicate what use he would make of the information, nor what stand he proposed to take when his time should come. It is understood, however, that he will treat of the Cuban difficulties at some length in his message to the extra session of congress. Major McKinlev when seen concerning the matter, said: "Yes, Senor Pierra called upon me here and wo had a very pleasant 'chat. He explained at some length the claims of the friends of the insurgents with regard to the war there." "No there is nothing further 1 can say regarding the call."

BOIES PENROSE.

He Will Succeed -Donald Cameron In lU« (Jnlt«d State* Senate. HAHRISBURG, Pa., Jan. (.—The Republican contest for the succession to the seat in the United States Senate, occupied by .T.

Robinson 1 and Superior Court Judge. Charles Rice, of "Wilkesbitrre 1.

Consul General I.eo and Delgado. NEW YORK, Jan. (i.—The Mail and Express yesterday received the following cable dispatch from Consul General Lee at Havana:

Ernst of Covington, are making an effort to bring him prominently into the senatorial race.
