Central Park is not the proper resting place for the dead soldier- and citizen. West Point, where the monument over his grave would incite the emulation of the coming officers of our army, would have been the proper location, and perhaps as appropriately so because of the opportunity there afforded to have the tomb surrounded by the quietness and solemnity that so well befit the tomb of the most illustrious of America's citizens. Washington, whose achievements were grand'in their purpose, yet insignificant in comparison with Grant's great endeavors, rests in the quietness of Mt. Vernon. Central Park is a pleasure resort, a place of amusement, and it is a mistake to bury the silent soldier there.

We are sorry to see that our esteemed contemporary, the Gazette of Chicago (circulated in this city), is turning out to be a bloody-shirt organ. The following editorial found in yesterday's paper must have been inserted in the plate factory at Chicagor:

A sensational story is telegraphed from the sooth of a brutal assault made in Laurent county, B. C., by a party of bulldozers on one J. L. Milam, a railroad agent, who had visited that section for the purpose of getting transportation for a negro woman desiring to leave the country. The bulldozers, it seeme, were alarmed over the prospect, if the negroes migrated, of actually having to some work themselves. So they warned the agent away and before he had time to act npon their threat they set upon him and beat him cruelly. If the facts are as stated there is a fine field for missionary work in'that section. Senator Wade Hampton should turn his attention to this matter even if it interfered with his reminiscenses of how he saved the day for the confederacy at the battle of Bull Bun.

Progress of Cholera.

The ravages of cholera continue with unabated violence in Spain. From the month of March to July 7 there were 28,000 cases and 12,337 deaths reported in ten provinces. Between the first and the second weeks of July there was a decided improvement. The number of new cases declined from 1,C67 (July 5) to 1,473 (July 10), and the number of deaths from 855 to 6j90. The number of new cases had risen on Saturday last to l,8S6,%nd the number of deaths to 718, the figures indicating an increasing prevalence of the epidemic with a stationary mortality. In Madrid the disease has been kept under control. From its outbreak there on May 20th to July 10th there were 191 cases and 115 deatliej a large proportion of the victims being fugitives from infected districts. On Saturday there were nineteen new cases and twelve deaths. Tlffe province Velencia has been the principal seat of the epidemic. In Toledo, Murcia, Castellon, Alicante and Saragossa there has been a marked improvement, but there are at least 200 towns and villages where the disease is now depleting the population.

The attempt to prevent by inoculation the advance of pestilence lias proved in effectual. Dr. Ferran was forbidden fortnight ago to practice his system in Madrid and directed to deposit in the municipal laboratory all the virus in his possession. This was an official condem nation of his vaunted method of treat ment after it had been adopted in many towns with the consent of the govern ment. Dr. Ferran has been accused of making a fortune out of his discovery and with refusing to inooulate poor patients without charge. This he has indignantly denied and he has angrily answered the charges preferred against him by Spanish physicians and by French scientists. The sickness and death of hundreds of patients whom he had in oculated have been an unanswerable demonstration of the uselessness of his reputed discovery.

The widespread prevalence of the dis ease in Spain exposes France and Italy to a second visitation and imperils the public health of the continent. It is also a source of great apprehension so far as Americans are concerned, since Cuba is closely connected with "the mother state by commerce and the appearance of the epidemic there is naturally to be expected in the absence of a rigid system of quarantine. Happily the quarantine officials at New Orleans and other southern ports are compelled to be constantly on their guard against the introduction of yellew fever from West Indian ports, and vigilance will not be lacking if cholera appears in Cuba before the close of the year. New York in any event may congratulate itself upon having as scieotific and wellconducted a system of quarantine as has yet been devised for the protection of a •coast city. It is amply guarded against pesti'ence on the ocean side.

An Enterprising Journalict From.the Qiioe, (Ari.) Howler. We have decided to put the question: 'Who Is the Greatest Liar in this Town under the following conditions: An election box has been fitted up in our sanctum, which will be open for the reception of votes to-morrow morning. Any one, male or female, can vote who buys a copy of the Howler from our able and gentlemanly devil, who will act as poll clerk. Voters can vote as often as jliey please, the only condition being that they shall purchase as many, copies ef the Howler as they deposit votes. The polls will be closed when no more people cap be persuaded to vote. Al. Blodgett, the efficient bartender of the "Montezuma," will set up the drinks for all who vote, at our expense. When the result of the voting is announced we have arranged to give the successful candidate a serenade and a purse of $10, and for this we ask the contributions of our cultured and refined, constituency. We may add that we shall not deem it all insult if our friends should cast their votes for us.

Two Doll Periods.

TALK ABOUT TOWN.

Terre Haute has the best source of water supply of any city in the country. The water secured from wells comes from a large subterranean lake. Terre Haute is situated on high ground fifty to seventy feet above the river. It is a huge gravel bank covered with a rich loam from five to ten feet deep. After the loam is passed through the gravel is encountered, and it extends for many feet There is no sand in the gravel. Huge- boulders are often encountered. From thirty-five to fortyfive feet lower down water is struck. It does not boil up like in clay soil but it rushes in through the gravel. Place a piece of paper oh the east side of the well and it will flow to the west side. When this water is encountered the well digger has struck the lake. It is a lake ten feet deep and covers many thousand acres. The land to the east rises gradually until the hills around Greencastle are reached. At Greencastle there are heavy outcropping^ of stone. As the stone is followed west it sinks far below the surface. The surface water follows the course of the stone until the gravel is met with, and then the gravel, growing in volume as it flows west. Passing through the highland to the east, the water plunges into the great gravel bank on which Terre Haute is situated, filling every quarter and creating a large lake. The water has a steady flow towar the riyer. Wells sunk into this lake have a change of water every hour during the twenty-four. The water is constantly flowing in and out of the well, filtering itself through the gravel. It has flowed for miles from the east, through gravel and rock, and when it reaches the wells it is pure and cool as it is possible to be. It cannot be properly class 3d as well water. It is, more properly speaking, spring water. Wis flow of water is not alone confined to Terre Haute, but it extends along the 'course of the Wabash river. The Wabash, in the summer time, depends oh these springs for it# water. After a long drought the Wabash is clear, and the water is the same as drawn from the wells. When the river rises the water in the welk -.loes the sam^.' The high river creates a dam and the water in the lake is dammed and and cannot flow into its usual outlet. The result is that the water in the lake increases, as the water flows from the east, rising ten, fifteen and twenty feet up in the gravel. The belief that our well water is obtained from the river is erroneous. Occassionally a well dug within a square of the river will fill with river water when arise comes. But when the river falls the well fills wich spring water again.

Parson Newman tells of General Grant's generosity and charitable acts. This trait of his character has received but little notice. No doubt in the vast amount of reminiscence that will now be forthcoming there wilt be much of this kind, because there is a plentiful supply of facts. The writer was with a group of gentlemen, unseen by President Grant, one evening at a street corner in Washington when he was approached by a female bej Without a word of inquiry as to the merits of her request for charity, he drew from his pocket a wad of small cur rehcy and handing it to her, nodded an acknowledgement of her profuse thanks as he passed on. The curiosity of the witnesses of the scene impelled them to ask the woman how much was given her by the'president (of whose identity 6hehad not the slightest suspicion), and under a street lamp she counted out five dollars and some cents. A congressman, since governor of his state, called upon the president to urge that a lawyer, wdl-known in the west, as once an able judge on the supreme bench of a great state, but who had become cramped financially, be given employment in the department of justice as special counsel in one of the many cases in which outside talent was being employed. President Grant listened to the presentation of the case and then remarked that he knew Judge Blank very well and expressing regret that the judge's "crankiness," which had neutral ized his great legal abilities in securing a practice, would prevent his employment by the government, offered the congressman a roll of money, up in. the hundreds of dollars, to be given the judge if the act could be performed without offense. The congressman told the writer of the iucident the same" day and ^remarked that in his many interviews with General Grant he never saw him so perplexed as he was on that occasion.

Mr. Murray Briggs was editor ofthe Sullivan Pemocrat during the war. He is a candidate for the democratic nomination for congress of this district, and if nominated will ask for the suffrage of the people. If nominated he will go over the district claiming to be the soldiers'friend. At a democratic meeting held in Sullivan, a few days before the battle of Bull's Run, resolutions were adopted "expressing the sentiments of the democracy of Sullivan county." These resolutions were published in the Sullivan Democrat by request of the convention and of course by consent of Mr. Briggs. The two first resolutions were as follows:

Resolved, That while we disapprove of the action of the seceded states in withdrawing from the Union as unwise, impolitic and premature, we recognUe the revolutionary iight of the people to alter, abolish or renounce a government whenever it becomes tyrannical and oppressive, and fails to subserve the purposes for which it was established.

Resolved, That while we approve of the enr forcement of the constitution and the laws, in spirit and in letter, we do most emphatically deny that any necessity has arisen, or can arise, for violating one provision of that sapred instrument, in order to the enforcement of another and that a violation of the constitution is no less wicked and treasonable in the president of the United States than in a pri. yate citizen.

The remainder of the resolutions consisted of resolving that "our representatives in congress use every honorable means to bring about apeace conference."

There is no better evidence that Terre Haute is increasing in population than the crowded condition of the school houses. A few years ago the buildings furnished pleanty of room, but now the school board is at its wits end ]to furnish

room. Residences are being rented sad converted intoschool houses. Every corner in the school buildings is being brought into use. Four or five hundred children will have to be provided with school room outside of the school buildings. The great pressure is in the Second, Third and Fourth wards. In the Third ward the colored children will be removed from the building they have been occupying for years and given a frame •Building which is being fitted up for the purpose. The four large rooms at the old colored school building will relieve the pressure in. the white kihools in the Second ward. In the Fourth ward a frame building will be procured and a large number of the children sent there, relieving the schools in that ward.

Members of

McKeen Rifles

the McKeen Utiles are

somewhat excited by a circular announcing that from orders issued by the governor the adjutant general had instructed the quartermaster general to take up the arms and camp equippage, and that the company would be mustered out of the service. This order was evidently issued to wake up the boys. Their time of enlistment in the state service expired last winter, and they resolved to enter the service again. They have not even been mustered out for the term which they served and consequently have not been mustered in again. In all probability the scare will anount to nothing.

The Bifles will hold a meeting Monday night to hear reports of committees in regard to going into eneampment at Maxinkuckee. According to the programme of the encampment the company will be in camp on the day of General Grant's funeral. An invitation will be extended them to participate in the observances

A few years ago Alice Trader, S cftuntiy girl residing in the neighborhood of Lockport, ran away from home and joined a traveling circus, and was trained to be a snake charmer. She traveled around the country showing the people how easy it was to have a snake coil itself around her neck and body, and the various tricks a snake charmer performs. She fell in love with one of the riders in Barnum's show, and married him. He taught her to ride with him, and she became so proficient in her hew vocation that she was able to dash around the ring at the highest speed. She was here last summer, and in all probability noneof the country people recognized her as she went spinning around the ring in tights and spangles. One of her relatives near Lockport has died, and Alice has been notified that she has been left a nice little amount of his money.

Recent reports from Brazil explain the hesitancy in removing Postmaster Robertson. It seems.tliat he has proved to be so efficient in his official duties and so popular in his personal relations with the people that a large number of democrats who are not wholly absorbed in the in dustry of office-hunting, have protested against a change. There are also two candidates for the place and disappoints ment is sure to follow the selection of either applicant. Clay county democrats are not feeling very kindly toward Voorhees and Lamb, and every effort is being made to reconcile the tactions.

The Mail is still persisting in its declared purpose riot to furnish the people with a good newspaper until fall. Yesterday to emphasise the fact it said:

It looks as if everything that has tho name of Lamb most go. Tuesday night the conncil abolished tho office of deputy marshal, which is held by Hon. John E. Lamb's brother.

But the office is not to be abolished, that i§ the ordinance does not take efiect until Lamb serv.es his term.

Really the Mail ought to wake up now and not wait until fall.

A Card From Mrs. Ellis. Mrs. Ellis rode up to the door of the Express office yesterday and handed in the follqwing for publication: "I desire to thank publicly, through the columns of the Express, the many, many friends for their unbounded kindness .and sympathy shown me sintie my late accident. I owe to them a debt of gratitude which can nevAr be repaid. And to the noble physicians, Drs. John E. Link and Geo. W. Crapo, who carea for me with such untiring zeal, too much cannot be said. To Dr. Link, to whom I owe my life, words fail to express my feelings. As a surgeon and nurse, he has no equal. Carefully, tenderly and earnestly he watched by my bedside, both day and night until all danger was past. May God watch over you doctors and kind :riends, bestowing on you His choicest lessings, is the wish of

St.

Saved by Going to Bed.

Joseph Gazette. The Gazette related the particulars yesterday of the miraculous escape froin death of Mr. John Deshon and wife, a newly married couple who reside four miles southeast of~this city on a farm. When the electric current commenced its grand pyrotechnic display Sunday afternoon the young couple, whose residence is on a high ridge, began to discuss the possibilities of the lightning striking. It appears that one or the other had. heard that feathers were a non-conductor, and that the safest place on earth during a thunder-storm was in a feather-bed. A vote was taken on the subject, and it was unanimously agreed that the bed was the proper place for them, so to bed they went. They had been there but a few seeonds when the lightning struck the house and tore the end of the buUding out in which their bed stood. Neither was. injured, though both were slightly shocked.

His eyes are "small and 8qumty, requiring the aid of strong lenses to aid them. The doctor is an enthusiast on the subject of building up the defenses of America. I was talking with him the other day at the Fifth Avenue hotel, and he said: "A large number of Gatlings are being constantly constructed. But if I had to iely on this -government for patron-

AN ENERGETIC LlfE.

The Story of How Mr. Boacb Blade His Fortune. John Raach is a native of Ireland, arid came to this country when a boy of 16. He had nothing but strong arms, a stout heart and plenty of plu

and energy to

help him along. Finding work in the Howell foundry, in Jersey City, Owned by James Allaire, he managed in three years to save $1,500. This was lost when his employer failed, but he bravely went to work to earn more capital. After years of struggle'he managed to establish a small foundry of his own in New York City, which grew steadily in magnitude until it became known as the ^Etna Iron works, where the largest engines constructed in the United States up to that time were built, In 1867 he purchased the Morgan iron works for about $40,000. His purchase included ninety-six city lots, 600 feet water front, and all the buildings, tools, etc. The purchase of the Neptune works for $150,000 followed in 1868, and the Franklin forge in 1870 for $125,000, as well as large property in Chester, Pa., where he subsequently put in operation .the extensive worfcs known as the Delaware river iron ship-building and engine works, a corporation of which Mr. Roach was president and owner. It was capitalized at $750,000, The panic of 1873 found him owing about $700,000, but his resources were equal to the occasion, and his statement in 1874 •showed assets $3,205,000, mortgages and debts $525,000. In 1875 rumors of his failure were extensively"circulated, but were false. He then stated that he was worth from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000 above everything. In January, 1883, he was said to be using less credit than htreto fore and appeared to le easy in money matters. At Chester, Pa., he was said to be doing fairly in business,. but in New

York he was doing a light 'business. In September, 1884, he was quoted as recently stating that his material on hand would cover his current liabilities, and his' total worth to be upward of $2,000,000. His loans on collateral were estimated not to exceed $200,000. In the May previous he purchased the material for the new cruisers for the navy, for which he had obtained the contracts. At various times he had interests in several steamship lines, including the Mallory line, Ward's line to Havana and the Brazilian line. In 1882 the Morgan iron-works property was valued at about $600,000 he also then owned the -lEtna Iron works on Goerck street, occupied by Thomas A. Edison. John Roach began building iron ships in 1871 or 1872. Since that time he has built upward of $40,000,000 worth of ships and ship machinery. Thi first ship was for C. H. Mallory & Co, for whom he subsequently built ten others. In all oyer 100 have have been constructed and eauipped throughout, These were ocean-going ships, and were built for merchants. The vessels ranged from 1,500 to 4,500 tons, and twenty three are engaged in the foreign trade, and the tonnage aggregates 62,000. He has an elegant country residence at College Point, L. I, and a city residence at the corner Fifty-first street and Fifth avenue, New York. Mr. ^Roach .also owns the Ophir farm, a large estate of 700 acres lying midway between Port Chester and Harrison N. Y. It belonged formerly to Ben Holladay, the mail contractor, who built upon it a large granite building, more like a castle than a house, and spent altogether over $800,000 on the place. The work he has done for the government con' sists of two sloops-of-war, contracted for in June, 1873, at the price of $580,000 the construction of the sectional dock of the Pensacola navy yard, for $397,000. when a war with Spain seemed imminent, he repaired for the government four out of fourteen iron-turreted monitors 1876, two of the five monitors it was de cided to construct were awarded to him at the price of $300,000 each.

His tables show that the richest people have an average life of £2 years, the middling 46, and the poor only 41$, A well-to-do man is as liable to infectious diseases as a pauper, "while diphtheria, croup, whooping-cough and_scarlet fever are more prevalent among the rich. Consumption and pneumonia claim the poor, who are comparatively free from rain fever. Cellar-dwellers are far more subject to diseases than those who live above ground, except in diphtheria and scarlet fever nor do these diseases seem greatly advanced by overcrowding in tenements.

A Millionaire.

"All the health I eujoy, and even my life, I may say, is in consequence of Simm«ns Liver Regulator. I would not take $1,000,000 for my interest in that medicine. "W. H. WILSON,

Lecturer Fla. State Grauge."

Millions of 11s are bilious. We are a bilious race. Half ol us are born bilious, with a predisposition to dyspepsia. The best known remedy for biliousness and indigestion is Simmons Liver Regulator. It has stood the test of time.
