FROM HEAVEN AND HELL.

KM*)' Letters in (lie Crank l»o\ il the Olliee ol' (iovornor Mount.

One of the many letter boxes at the Governor's office is ticketed "Crank box," and to this is consigned many communications that evidently emanate from disordered minds. At the Central Hospital for the Insane the inmates, the superintendent deeming the privilege kindly and humane, are allowed to write letters, with the assurance that they will be sent to the rersons to whom they are addressed. Many of these letters come to the Governor of Indiana, but these are rarely placed in the crank box, as the deep sympathy for their condition forbids. The cranks proper are not those who are in hospitals, but who might be. Among the communications recently received is one typewritten, with the margin scorched and burnt. The date line readE: "Headquarters of hell: doors always open: fire and brimestone without extra charge." This letter signed "The Devil," says: "1 will suggest for custodian that simon-pure Republican and patriot, Col. Cal Darnell. When called to Indianapolis on business connected with my fiery kingdoru 1 can almost always be found in the Sentinel editorial rooms."

Another is addressed from '•Heaven.'" This crank writes: "1 feel grateful that 1 have been spared the mortification of being popular with this palegray, mouse-colored generation of burrows," and then proceeds to give views favoring the free coinage of silver by the State of Indiana.

MASON FOR SENATOR,

Republican .Joint Caucus Unnnlinotmly Clioosc the Chicago Man.

SPIUNOFIKM), Ills., Jan. 20.—Ex-Con-I gressinan William E. i\i.asou was nominated for United Slates senator at the

Republican joint cations last night after one of the most bitterly fought battles (i!in the history of the Republican party in Illinois. Although he had been canvassing the state us a senatorial candidate for two years, Mr. Mason's selection was regarded by "machine" politicians as an impossibility up to within two hours of the time of his triumphant and unanimous nomination, the choice being the result ot\ sudden withdrawal from the race of Congressman William

Lorimer, who had held the almost solid vote of Chicago and Cook county. The contest had been so loug drawn out and the battle so fierce that the legislators were in a mood to be stampeded at any moment, as the hour for tfie caucus drew near, and the sudden shifting of tho Cook county forces to Mason carried the other candidates off their feet. Tho tide turned toward the ex-congressman with a rush that carried everything before it and the nomination was marie without the most feeble show of opposition.

ATLANTA, Jan. 19.—Sam Palatka, crosseyed, a fiend in expression, revolting in countenance, has confessed to having perpetrated the great Cahaba bridge disaster, which occurred three weeks ago in Alabama. Stolidly and with immortable lines of criminal harshness on his face I10 admits that singlehanrled he sent ilo persons to a horrible death and wounded and maimed a score more. There was no romantic reason back of the work of this courageous coward, a man who dared discovery which, in Alabama, meant certain death to drive it train to destruction in order to obtain a few dollars. Palatka was arrested in Eatonton. Put nam couuty, in middle Georgia. His first captors believed him halfwitted iis he gave himself awav. Those in charge of hi:u yesterday in Atlanta, as ho wiis 011 his way to Alabama, savin is absolutely reckless and entirely without human feelings. He spoke of the fearful wreck with no sign of emotion. "I did it.'" said P: litkii. "I wauled money. Its nobody's business-what I wanted it for. I did it. I iound it. very easy. 1 say this for the benefit of those who want to wreck trains, it is just as easy to wreck a passenger train as it is to wreck a freight tram. There's 110 money in a freight. I did not get any thing out of the. wreck. 1 moved a rail, put it across the track and the whole business seemed to fall. There was plenty of dead folks with money— one man had $301)—but before 1 conic get at it the live ones got up and then the crowds came. 1 skipped out then."
