INDIANA RIVERS.

Points from the Annual Report of the Engineer in Charge of the Work on the Wabash and. White Rivers. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

WASHINGTON, D. C., August 21.—The following annual report of the river improvements in Indiana has been received

from

Gamed for collector ana for surveyor by the

the engineer in charge by the chief of engineers: I ?:•-. "In the original examination of the Wabash river below Vincennes the engineers recommended the removal of tbe obstructions, and the building of a lock and dam at Grand Rapids. I do not consider it good policy, in the interest of economy, to' expend any money in the improvement oi the "river above Grand Rapids until the lock and dam shall have been completed. The river below has been improved in previous years, and is now in a tolerably fair condition, requiring very little new work, and repairs to the works already constructed. In view of the above facts woutd recommend thai until the completion of the lock anf dam work on the river be confined to (he portipn between the njouth and Grancy Rapids. This part of the river is thel connecting link between the

Whife riwr and the Ohio river, and W important in connection with the navigation of jpe White river, as. without its ent navigation of the White ould be comparatively valueless, been very little navigation or iomnjerce above Grand'Rapids during the last year: The condition of-the river is as follows: At

lotf

water the worst ob

structions below Mount Carmel are two extensive sand-bars. At fextreme low water, they are impassable for any class of steamers plying on the river. The channel, here can be improved by means of contraction work, or wing dams, at a cost of $20,000. "The work at Grand Chain has consisted in the cutting of a channel through the rocky reef, and the building of a guide dike at the head of it. The work is incomplete and requires the expenditure of $25,000 to complete it. "The river near Gray ville is in a condition which requires immediate attention. Here a serious cut-off is threatened which will shorten the river almost three miles, and by this sudden change of slope cause serious injury to navigation. The cut-off f|p. also cause Grayville a great loss, as 'ncipal business is sawing lumber,' ... would be entirely destroyed, as th^cut-off would leave the town about a mile and a half from the channel of the new river. Steps should be taken to prevent this cut-off, and it is estimated that the sum of $20,000 could be judiciously expended f^r this pur pose. "The dam at New Harmony was in tended to close the chute, prevent the river from making this a cut-off, and confine the low water to the channel proper. The dam has required constant repair since its construction, the tendency of the river being to cut around its seat, by constantly washing aWay the banks of the island on which it rests. It will require repairs each season until the chute becomes filled up. For the next $5,000 will be required. "The eflect of the improvement hither to carried on has been to greatly faciliate the navigation of the river. "The work in this portion of the river, between Vincennes and Terre Haute, consisted of the completion of the dam at Horseshoe island and the removal of snags from the channel. There were removed from the river 377 snags, 117 overhanging trees, and one wreck of flatboats. "An increased' -demand for, and value of, certain kinds of timber heretofore considered as useless for manufacturing purposes, has given a decided impetus to the navigation of this stream as well as White river. Four good-sized .steamboats have been exclusively employed ill tawing rafts. .'

The first appropriation for the improvement of White river was made in 1879since which time werkhas been carried on. It has consisted in the removal of snags and a reef of rock known as Eelley's ripple. During the past year work has-been confined to the removal of the rock at Kelley's ripple. The improvement contemplates a channel 1(H) feet wide:and three and a half feet deep at low water. At present there is a li

present there is a throughout th

ater cb ingtih of

channel throughout the whole ipp"

len

the ripple of fifty feet wide and

of the required uepth. The proposed operations for the next fiscal year will consist in the completion of the curthrough Kelley's ripple. It is estimated that an appropriation of $15,000 will complete this work. It is not considered advisable to attempt any other work on White river until the removal of the obstruction at Kelley's ripple is completed, as the river is not navigpMe at low water while this obstacle exists. It is very desirable that the whole amount be appropriated at once, as the work can be finished in one favor able season. "The cut at Kelley's ripple has opened the river to low-water navigation as far as Hazleton. Abo.'e Hazleton it is not at present an economical expenditure of funds to attempt any improvement of the river as long as the railroad brittle at this point ismainfe, at present, as an obstruction to navigation."

The Brotherhood' of LoebmotiTe Firemen in Annnal Convention.

Sundry Railroad Revealings ForSjinday Beading. M"

On Monday morning, September the 21st, delegates from 290 different lodges of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen will meet in annual convention at the Chestnut Street Opera house, in Philadelphia. The meeting will be called to order promptly at 10 o'clock, at which hour will occur the opening ceremonies. The convention will then continue in ad* journed sessions one week. Girard hotel will be made the headquarters for all delegates, who will come from different parts of the United States and Canada. There will be represented probably not over" 260 cut of the 290 lodges. Thfe annual convention was held in Toronto, Canada, last year. At that time a total membership' of 12,000 .was re ported. It is stated by Mr. Eugene V. Debs, editor of the official organ of the Brotherhood, that the membership to be reported at Philadelphia will reach 15,000, in round numbers. By these statistics it will be observed that the organization in question is one of the largest labor organizations in existence the world over, and if it continues to grow at the "rate of 3,000 members a y.ear, in a very short time will eclipse everything of its nature. Besides being perfection in point of numbers, the comprehensiveness and intelligence with which it is organized^ is unsurpassed. This statement, besides being a creditable reflection on all its officers, is especially a deserved compli ment to Grand Organizer Stevens. Before the convention Mr. Stevens, who is now east, will organize 1'odgeS at Hartford and New Haven Connecticut. Buffalo Lodge No. 12 i»the banner lodge of the organization having 280 members. Next in order comes Boston with her enrollment .of 250. i*i

The Grand Lodge delegation, of which Frank W. Arnold, of this city, is grand master and Eugene V. Debs, grand_secretary and treasurer, will consist of eighteen or nineteen members in the Philadelphia convftition. The addresses of these worthy gentlemen are anticipated with interest by all the members. During the convention Governor Patterson and Congressman Sam Randall, of Pennsylvania, will deliver addresses.

Engineer Ed. Millei, of the Yandalia, will represent the Terre Haute lodge in the convention. Thjs lodge is designated as Vigo No. 16, and has a membership of 150.

On Saturday, the 26th of September, the convention will break up with a grand excursion to the sea' shore, where a. clam-bake will be pr.epared. It is suggested that each member provide himself with a bathing suit,'to revel for a time in the briny deep.. The excursion train will be tendered for use

Among the present wants of American railroads is some cheap and effective means .of killing weeds and grass that cover the tracks and roadbed on all roads that are not ballasted with rock. Grass is a serious hindrance to ordinary track jepairs, and greatly impedes trains by being crushed on the rails and destroying adhesion.

WITH"A

Which Discloses Some Pertinent Facts Heretofore Unprlnted. Wheeling. Intelligencer.

A reporter meta nailer yesterday whom he knew to be pretty well posted on matters generally, and especially the workings of his trade and the trades related to it. After a few words about the weather and minor topics, the Intelligencer man asked his opinion concerning the prospect of an early resumption of the nail business •'Well," said he "they are not at all flattering, but 1 consider them is good as they would be were there no strike or other difficulty on hands. You see there area good many of the manufacturers who do not care to operate their factories now for various reasons. It is not so profitable to run during the heated term, as is in cold weather some of them are making extensive preparations 'for the manufacture of steel, others are building gas furnaces to take the place of the old style ones, and still others are making extensive repairs and building additions to their mills and on the whole, considing the very moderate demand for nails, they, according to the agreement •uade in Cincinnati, either lying idle or trying the feeder experiment. "What will be the final result of opening the factories to the feeders?" "Well, it will be just this: Ina'few months, say the latter part of this year, the managers who have tried the experiment, will be fully satisfied that their Venture has been a practical as well as|a financial failure. As to the feeders who have taken jobs, their actions bespeak their-character and if they were nailers they would not be allowed to run machines in any of these factories. The manly portion of the feeders number 90 per cent., and are all with the nailers for the 21-cent card, and the. by the manufacturer who will come with the olive branch in his hand, professiDgto bring peace in a time-of trouble, but who will really slay them one by one a? soon as they have carried their purpose and brought peace to him." "Are there many eastern' nails sold in western markets "Only when a strike is on hands, and when the western stock has been exhausted. During our trouble three years ago, when nails were selling at from $3 to $5 per keg, the eastern men emptied 'their warehouses into the western market, but as soon as our factories resumed there were no more eastern nails run in the west." "Well, how about western nails in the east?" "Our manufacturers sell largely in the east, many car loads of nails being con signed to New York and Baltimore, and some even to Bflston." "What eflect would It haveon the eastern nailers if the western manufacturers should succeed in enforcing the Cincin natiscale?"

They would have to -accept a like reduction, or the manufacturers would be compelled to close their mills indefinitely, for they h*ve millions invested and can not get out of the business neither will they ask theii employes to work for less money. Nailing has reached bed-rock in the east, and .the manufacturers will make a heroic striker out of the bi coward that ever faced a bead stone.:

Here the reporter was handed a letter postmarked Harrisburg, Pa, which, among other things, stated that the workmen of four mills in that vicinity had held a joint meeting and decided to send, if necessary, 50 per cent, of their earnings to the leaders'of the western strike..

Said the reporter's informally "You

see they too understand the m» ang of —.{ftcaleas the enforcement of the Cincinnatifecale as well as their employers. It is nothing but a gigantic effort to force the east out of the market entirely, and to accom-

Eeaters

lish this great spheme, nailers, rollers, ana all the hands in the mills will be forced to work for a pittance. The eastern manufacturers are at a disadvantage in making nails. Why, the difference in wages in the east and west does not cover the difference in the cost of coal alone, to say nothing of the difference in freight tolls to western markets."

In answer to another question the nailer drew a letter from his breast pocket and holding it up said, "This is the wedge that will split them from one end to the other."

The letter referred to, when held up, was found to be written under the printed heading of an. eastern nail firm, out the written matter was mostly concealed so as to make it impossible for the reporter to distinguish its entire contents.

Upon being ^sked how the nailers Were prepared to stand a strike the speaker remarked that he was sorry he could not tell the full particulars of the movements on foot, "but," said he, "the injustice of the demands and the methods employed to enforce them have buried beyoncl resurrection all the petty jealousies and animosities that ever existed among them."

The Birthplace of Saratoga Chips. Letter to Boston Herald. Perhaps the most important transaction of the week has been the purchase of Moon's famous road hostelry on the shore of Saratoga lake, by Hon. Edward Kearney, of New York, and Hon.

MEW OPERA SCHEME.

ARISTOCRATS

NAILER.

Remarkable Proposition to Utilize the Bodies of Dead Paupers—An Interesting Budget of Gossip.

Correspondence of tbe Indianapolis News. LONDOK, August 8.—The social and political seasons are now practically over. The few theaters still open are about to close, and their stars are arranging provincial tours. On Saturday next the curtain will be lowered at the great house of entertainment at Westminster, the faice will be withdrawn, and the honorable actors will forthwith quit London and put forth all their energies to win the good graces and thfe votes of the provincials. The house will re-open in February next, under new management, and in all probability with a new troupe.

An extraordinary arrangement is projected, I hear, for next season at the opera. It appears that a desire has-been manifested for an aristocratic night in each w&k, and it is said, although I can scarcely believe it to be true, that the Prince of Wales is. taking an interest in the development of the plan. Uninitiated people might imagine that on account of the Pall Mall Gazette revelations the middle class frequenters of the opera house had demanded that those horrible aristocrats should not.be allowed to sit down with them at the banquet ot swoet sounds, but that one day of the week should be set apart'for .them, so that other people might be able to stay at home and avoid their contact. But this is not how the scheme arose. Some very blue-blooded peraons think they have found out the reason why Italian opera is going down in England. They say that the aristocracy no longer look upon the opera house with favor, because they have to jostle people of inferior blood on their way in and out. Their remedy is to set apart a night for persons of their own caste, and form a blood testing committee, whose duty it will be to refuse tickets to all plebeians. Voila!

London paupers will no longer be useless members of society. At a meeting of the Strand board of guardians, held on Tuesday last, a letter was read from Mr. Pratt, of Tavistock slreet, Covent Garden, submitting anew method for disposing of the dead bodies of paupers'. Mr. Pratt forwarded along printed document, explaining his method, which bore the title of "Cremation Superseded." The author of the new plan suggested that Reculvers churchyard, at Herne Bay, should be reclaimed and made use of as a .burial ground for the dead bodies o| the paupers of the whole metropolis. A. railway might be constructed to convey funerals to the above named churchyard. The bodies of the paupers could be placed in cheap coffins and buried in the soft sand of the sea shore, but imbedded in a sarcophagus of soft concrete, which would of course immediately harden and others could be buried on the first layer, so that the bodies of the paupers, incased in concrete, would form a wall to keep out the sea from encroaching on the land. Need less to add that the proposal was hailed with roars of laughter. The Paris muni cipal council is famous for starting new ideas, but Idr. Pratt's idea beats anything that has eminated from our ediles for long time.

Over 80,000 persons have been attacked by cholera and over 40,000 have.died in Spain in the past three weeks yet it seems to create no sensation. Two years ago, when the disease raged in Egypt, and last year when it visited Naples and the south of France, every one was talking of it though in neither of these three coun tries was the mortality nearly so high as it now is in Spain. But, in France, at any rate, if "no one talks of the cholera, everybody talks of Dr. Ferran. This gentleman has discovered that cholera may be treated, or rather prevented, by vaccination. When he first brought forward his theory, all the medical journals aired' it, and spoke very flatteringly of its inventor. But now Dr. Ferran is called a humbug and a mountebank. And why? Not because his process is a failure altogether. When, the other day, he treated a convent full of nuns and forty-two of them died of cholera next day, no one could deny that this was a result, or say that Dr. Ferran had put inoffensive mat ter into their veins. There was some thing in it, no doubt. No, no, his great fault is that he charges twelve francs head, and is making over £50 a day by his patients. Not long ago I spoke toyou of our successful novelist, Mr. George Ohnet, and the way in which he is abused every day in the papers, as if he Were pickpocket. Jealousy seems to be grow ing into a disease in France just now especially jealousy, of those who earn good living for themselves, for the rich bv birth are now, strange to say, let alone. Those who start "bubble and squeak companies" are only abused by poor shareholders who have burned their fingers. But let a man take into his head to make his way by persevering industry and talent, and he will imme diately become the butt of sarcasm and insults from all sides.

The French Socialists are not so much the enemies of capital as they are of capitalists. In fact, they'have no objection to capital, only they tfbuld like to see it in better hands. According to these worthies, every little Frenchman of their party ought to find id his cradle snug little yearly income for the time, of his natural life, or else what is the good of being under republic? They think that there has been preaching enough on the subject, and they want now to put the ideal into practice. The Paris municipal council the only French official body that is radi cai almost to a man, has just passed .the following resolution, proposed by M, "Chabert, a worthy disciple of Plato: "The children of both sexes of the inhabitants of Paris shall receive a complete education and be supported up to their twentyfirst year at the expense of the commune of Paris. The aged and the incapacitated from work shall also be supported at the expense of the commune." This resolution is, of course, but a wish, as the Paris municipal council has no legislative power whatever. It is wonderful how some philanthropists by profession are ready to do good to their fellowcreatures at the expense of other peoj A witty missionary one day remarked to the Paris correspondent of the London Globe: "Between the anthropliagi and the philanthropists give me the former. When he has eaten his fill of grilled clergyman I stand a chance of being let alone when the philanthropist is satiated he begins to think of feeding others—out of other peoples' pockets." "O, that French administration Which Europe envies t" A new wing has just been added to the Lariboissiere hospital for out-patients. When the first utter arrived, the ward door was found to be too narrow, and the litter could not be carried in. Perhaps you think the administration had tne door widened immediately. Not a bit of it. They had narrower litters made on the spot. Unfortunately these new litters hardly hold the patients. What will the administration do?. Plane the patients, I would suggest!

Since the success of Mrs. Weldon, who obtained such high damages from the doc tore who signed certificates of her insanity, the lunacy cases have been very frequent. A most curious verdict, given last Tuesday, shows by what class of men justice is often administered. This petty jury, made up of small tradesmen, declared: (1) That the plaintifl was not insane. (2) That the doctors were not to be blamed lor signing a certificate of her insanity. The judge and all the lawyers

present had to resort to their British sang froid to keep their countenance. In futnre a jury will be the highest authority on dsieases of the brain, and it is suggested that henceforward the certificates of lunacy shall be signed by tradesmen and not by medical men. ..Meiule&of china and tin utensils would be eminently qualified. Authorities on cracked wares might know all abont crackvd braim.

There is to be a grand bnll-fight in the famous rid Roman arena at Nimes, on the 9th inst. Twenty-five horses and eight bulls from the guanaderias of the duke ot Veraguas are to take part in ihe fray. The cleverest piccadors and sobre-. salientes to be found in Spain have been engaged, and will no doubt do their beet to give the spectators plenty of. grim sport for the twenty francs they will have to pay for their seats. The celebrated Guttierez, first torreador of Spain, is coming. It is said that he is particularly adept at his profession. If he choses, he can preserve the horse he rides from all attacks from bulls. I wonder if he often eaercises thisjimiable talent.
