The Express regrets that Judge Alack in his instructions to the grand jury the day before the election forgot tp call attention to the gemblins evil as he did forcibly a month or so ago. The judge and the jury go on from year to year without regsrd to citv election?, and can therefore render important service in this regard. Consideration of p?rty benefit msd have no eflect on them. A^ain the Express says it regrets that Judge Mack omitted to instruct the jury on this score.
Tbe submission cf the cow ordinance to a vote of ti^e people was a grat.d m'stake. It turn« cut to bs nothing betler than trifling with an important question. It was an nnfortunate day, when the ill1 advised suggestion was made to submit the matter to the people, thus giving the members of the council means of escape from a duty they hfsitated to perform. The voie of the people can be nothing more than an expissfion of opinion. It is no stronger than petitions. It has no legal or imperative effect, and the new council is at perfect liberty to again submit the question, if the new members want to follow in the footsteps of the dodgers of the present body. The Ex-
press believaa that if lhis avenue of escape had not been opened, the council would have passed the ordinance. Now, the old fight i^ust be made again. The Express is enlisted in it for daring the war.
The action of the Catholic Church Upon the temperancs question at this use! are is something remarkable. From its spiritual head, to the priests of obrcure parishes, there seems to prevail a deep, arnest spirit of reformation that is deeti'jed to bear aoucdant fruit. Within the past few weeks Leo XIII has issued a prjnunciamento from the Vatican, counseling not moderate temperance but uccompromibing total abrtinance. He does not advise that temperance principles be made au integral part of politics, but that they be emhr.tied in religious teaching and in the rults of conduct by which every man regulates his daily life. The Father Matthew societies everywhere are doing a great work, which is augumented by that ol similar societies, and thwe is no field in which the priests and higher functionaries of the church are taking a deeper or more active interest. Whatever faults the Catholic Church may have, however in its government and teaching it may be opposed to Protest-antis-n, there are particulars in which it can furnish an example worthy of imitaiion to other denominations. In zaal and energy it leads Christendom to day, as it has in past ages. A work undertaken is pursued with nnergy end unabated perseverence until '.he desired object is attained. In the inherence of any cause recommendby the eclesiastical bodys, from the arehbishop to tho poorest communicant the whole church works in absolute unityThe poor and the weak do their little, those who have greater wealth and influence contributing proportionately, until all have done what they were able, and are united by sympathy and fellowship of a common cause. It is not at all unlikely that the temperance reform of the Catholic church may teach pro hibitionist3 and other non sectarian temperance factions a few plain truths and introduce them to methods that are as pract'cal as they are rational.
TLe election of the Republican city
ticket was a task of extraordinary difll-
calty and one that could have been accomplished only by a full Republican vo'.e
This was not secured. The party and its
candidates were arrayed on the side of good government and especially against
the rule of tho gamblers. In all such
conti-fcts the worst elements strain every eflorl, do *11 that is disreputable and
corrupt to succeed, whereas the self respecting citizsns fail to respond to

the city there presented tho spectacle of an organi*2d force of gamblers
in oiurge of party's election day work.
No man doubts that a large amount of money was spent by this tie ment.
The question now is, what is next to be done? The Express takes strength
from ihe defeat. If the people were not
awat-i before yesterday cf the danger tbey certainly are now notified that the
city is in the hands of men who use piacts of public trust as a protection for
vice. Tho gamblers will redouble their
effort to make fast their hold on the^ city government to the end that they may be unmolested
in illegal and debasing pursuits and will increase tbe number of their resorts.
The sentiment of the city i« rgainst this thin but it was not aroused sufficiently
to ovtribrow it at the polls. The over
throw may, however, be accomplished
by that public sentiment. The fact must be made plain that public gam'
blins shall not continue. The grand
jury can be called upon to take hold of the matter. The council is Republican
As Mayor KolBem has not been lifted

satitfaction in this, that they went down carrying a glorious banner that it WM a

Koleem is nothing more than the gamblers, two months ago, set about to ac
complish. Nothing has been lost by the
Republicans in the figtit against them, and it is siily, if not beneath the dig
nity of any good citizsn, to regret the
character of the fight made, on the ground that "policy" might have averted
the defeat of Mr. Brigys. That gentle
man's defeat is far more honorable than Mayor Kolsem's election. Defeat fol

Now we, as citizens of this city, wish to make a statement: We supposed the mother of the young man was a widow withont means, consequently we contributed every oent to defray all expense to ship his body to Terre Haute, and also sent a man with him. and knew of no suoh a man as William Cummin gs. We received a letter from some one withoot a signature, directing as to send the body to Kingman, Ind., stating we would find at the express office $5 to help defray expenses said $5 has failed to show up. Now, sir, if this Sir. Cummiugs wished to show his fatherly affection why did he not show up at the funeial and make himself knewn to Mr. John S.

The Ghost that Is Supposed to Haunt Imperial Palaces. Three different persons are said to be the originals cf the White Jjady, who ap? pears to imperial personages and carries them off like the bugaboo, in addition the old widow of whom Polinitz speaks. These thr are Agnes, Countess of Orlamunde, Bertha of Rosenberg and the Princees Kurngund, who married first Ottocen II, of Bohemia, and setondly a Baron of Rosenberg. Agnes, Countets of Orlamunde, was cf the ducal family of Meran, She married first Count Octo of Orlsmunde, and bore him two children. He died in 1293, when 6he fell madly in love with Albert, Burgrave, of Nurburg, a Hohenzollern, who died in 1381. Albert, who who goes by the name of the ''Handsome," was much younger than hertelf. When she made advances to him he is said to have replied that four eyes stood in the way. He meant his_ parents. She understood that he referred to her children, whersupon she murdered them. Albert visited her in the Plessecburg, near Kulembacb, but when he discovered what she had done he shrank from her in horror, and afterward (1348) mairied Sophia, daughter of Henry, count of Henneberg Agnes of Orlamuude went on a pilgrimage to Rome, to expiate her crime, and on her her return founded the convent of Himmelskron, near Berneck, in Upper Franconia. There she wat buried beside tbe children whom she had murdered, and there also Albert the Handsome wes laid. —[New York Star.
Could JJot Wheel His Baby. London Letter, May a clergyman wheel his own baby in a preambulator? One would suppose that he might, but not so think the people of Endinburgh. A clergyman there was seen carrying his baby. His horii fied congregation presented liim with a perambulator, but his last state was worse than the first, for he wheeled this vehicle along the s'reets with his baby in it. This insult to the gentle susceptibilities of his congregation was too much and he received a letter politely informing him that while his abilities gave satisfaction his pastoral services would no longer be required.

HERE AND THERE
The new term of Circuit court was opened yesterday. It was late in the afternoon before Judge Mack gave his instructions to the grand jury. His instructions were general in their nature and were delivered extemporaneously to the new grand jury. The judge dwelt particularly upon the subject of embes zlement. There have been a number of cases bronght to light recently, and the grand jury was asked to investigate the matter. Robbing employers ia becoming too common, and the judge called the attention of tbe jury to it. Upon the subjsct of perjury the judge said that people were having more end more disre gard for their word. Cases frequently occur, where witnesses testify to something at one time, and at another to something diametrically opposed to it. The excuse assigned is that the witness has forgotten his former testimony or that he must have been misunderstood. The judge recommended that when witnesses appear before the grand jury it would be well to have their statements taken down and after the examination is concluded to have the document read to them and signed by them. In this way there would be no mistaking the testimony ol the witnessas, and should they testify in court contrary to their former sworn statement, a case cf perjury could be made against them. The judge is of the opinion that a few convictions would make witnesses more cautious regarding what they say on the witness stand.
An Express reporter called at Turner & Gassaway's old stand on Fourth street and found Mr. John Kingston in charge. Mr. Kingston said that he had some down street and opened the establishment in the hope of disposing oi what remains of the bakery and lunch loom. "Was the stock purchased from yon on time?" asked the reporter.
Yes. I never received anything from Turner & Gagsaway. I turned the plaoe over to them and agreed to let them run it, and was to be paid for it on time." "How much will your lofsbe?" "About a thousand dollars. They took nearly all the stock that was of any value. All the cigars aqd tobacco are gone. The candies are missing with the exception of a sack or two which tbey neglected to do away with. They also took all the linen about tbe place, leaving only that which was dirty. They left Bome bread and cakes. The place e?st me about $1,400 or $1,$00. I don't tbiak I can get more than a few hundred dollars for the stock that has been left."
The missing men are said to have purchased a full line of clothing jnst prior to skipping. From all indications it seems that they intended to beat everyone in town that they possibly could. No trace of th°m can be found and they are probably at a safe Stance away from Terre Haute by this time. Sot much of an eflort will be made to find them.
A story is told on one of the candidates which shows how vigorous the canvass became. There was asocial given a few nights since. There was present a dash*snaggin?, ing lady who was a relative of the ndid ite. Rhe became acquainted with |uite a large number of the young men, and, by fcer ?weet smiles and winning ways, quite fascinated the gallant young gentleman. She seemed to take a very lively interest in politics, and invaria bly brought up thesubject when In conversation with voters. She did not_ forget her relative, who was a candidate, !r:d tJiped every one to vote for him. Jt is stated that many of young men gftvs a protnifie (o vote as she requested, hardly dariug to refuse the plea ootning from sunh a charming lady. Her campaign work proved very effective. One young man who was particularly fascinated has since learned that the ycr.rg woman was married and her frnileR on the young men were simp'y to make votoa.
The saDltary police' ar9 making a thorough examination of thecity.

Filth and dirt have been thrown into them and the accumulation gives off poisonous gasses. On the rounds yesterday Officer Pierce found one building which had been oocupied as a restaurant until recently. He discovered that several barrels of slop had been left on the ground floor and that several more barrels were in the second story. The decaying vegetable matter made the immediate vicinity offensive.

INDIANA IMPROVEMENTS.
Arrangements of ths Kaglneer Corpi for Work in This State This Tear. Washington Special.
The engineers' department have been preparing the plans for the season's operations on the rivers and harbors subject to improvement. While the failnre of the river and harbor bill will not permit work on as extensive a scale as the engineers desired, still there is sufficient money available to make considerable progress upon the various projects. In the state there are bat few improvements authorised by congress, but it will be of interest to known what is to be done by the engineers In carrying forward the work on them.
For this season's operations on White river the engineers have f7,A00, Between the mouth of the river and Hasleton there are many snags to be removed and a few gravel bars to be dredged, bat the main work to be done is at Kelly's ripple. ThiB work oonsists in cutting a channel through the reef of rocks 1,060 feet long, 100 feet wide and four feet deep. The first cut, the engineers say, has been cerried through for the whole length the necessary depth and fifty feet in widtb. As a result, low water navigation has been opened up as far as Haaleton, but the bad location of the Evansville & Terre Haute railroad bridge, a short dis tance above, prevents any low water navigation above that point, except for low boats. The engineers are of the opinion that as long as the location of the present draw remains unchauged it will be useless to carry on any improvement above the bridge except fcr the benefit of local trade and of the railroad company. The amount expended on this work h-is be?n $100,000, and to complete the existing project -vill require $26,000 more.
The improvement of Wab^h river will lw carried on with $72 800. This covers both fections of the river. The portion of the river above Vincennes has been iosikIv improved by removing snags frem "the channel and building dams across cut-olfs. The available funds, therefore, will be spplied to repairs of Eight miie dam, and to tho removal of the dam in tha eut-ofl up Horseshoe bend. Of tbe two dams built, one has attai^'l 'he object for which it was buiH, and ia in fair condition, needing but lew repai: 8. This is tbe data, at tbe Eight mi!o island. The other dam," across Horseshoe cut-off, has proved a failure, as the river cut a new channel around the root of the dam. The dam will, in consequence. ha?8 tcj be removed, together with numerous snags and trees which are in the cut 00, and thus allow the steamboats free passage, It is probable the engineers say, that this dam will not be rebuilt, as only a short length of river has bee cut off, and it contained a rock reef which does not appear in the cut-ofl. The total amount allowed for this improvement has been $438,61ty, and (here is still required for its completion $22,800.
The ooly harbor that Indiana has that is subject to special improvement is Michigan City, and there is on hand for the prosecution of tho enterprise $60,904. This has been a very expensive work, continued through along series of years, it having been originally commenced in j.83j, and ft has cost $868,798 89. To oomplete the dredging required in the inner harbor there must be used $3,125. The new project, however, requires a very large expenditure of money—$440,000. It contemplates the construction of a west exterior breakwater but, as the money must be provided in large amounts, it is thought best at present that the superstructure of the existing pier be entirely renewed.
There is also available for the Upper Calumet river in the state $30,000, which, when all of the proper releases from the owners of adjoinipg lands are delivered, will be used in making a channel 200 .feet in width and sixteen feet in depth. The total cost will be $200 000.
This completes the statement of local improvements for which the means are available to carry forward the work, as, indeed, it covers all the river and harbor improvements within the limits of Indiana.
PERSIANS.
Health Their One Merer-Failing Topio of OonversatloD. Pall Mall Qasette.
The Persians have one never-failing subject of conversation that subjsct is their health. The pleasure of talking about the weather is denied them for, as eleven months out of the twelve pre fine in Persia, the subject does not present sufficient variety. But a Persian, to whatever class of society he may belong, is never tired of talking about his ailments, real or supposed. In his eyes all Feringhis (Europeans) are doctors, and the European doctor is the very best of all. For many years at 8hiras there lived an old Swede who walked into Persia in his youth. He knew nothing of medicine on his arrival bui finding that the natives constantly so licited his advice, he bought a few medi! cal books and literally acquired a certain amount of knowledge by carrying out the good old principle of "Fiat experimentum in corpore vili." Happily the Hakim Sahib also believed in the "vis medicatrix naturse." Asa rule his drugs were harmless. "I have different colored liquids," said.he, "and it

The Happealags ta the Wanuk Valley •a Told la Exchanges. Mr. Mark. Lester, superintendent of the Carlisle coal shaft, was knocked senseless, last Sunday night, by apiece of rock weighing two or three hundred pounds. He would have been crushed beyond recognition had the rock fallen squarely on him. As it was Mr. Lester is minus several teeth and is in.a precarious condition.
Mrs. Stmiriah F. Stevens, wife of Mr. Hardy Stevens, of Curry township, Salllvan county, has had her sense of propriety outraged by one Ira Drake, and has gone into oourt, claiming damages of $5,000. She alleges that Drake visited her home and finding her alone radely seized and embraced and kissed her, thereby implying that her regard for the proprieties was limited, and disgracing her in the eyes of the neighborhood.

Natural 6s Notes.
Low pnssure gas is considered best for lights and fael. A shale formation is considered good surface indication.
Natural gas is a product of petroleum and ia a hydro-carbon gas. The earliest utilisation of natural gas was at Fredonia, N. Y., 1821.
An ordinary stove can be heated for 26 cents a month by the use of natural gas.
There's one beautiful thing about nat ural gas—it don't need a meter to help it lie.
The pressure cf the great Pittsburg well raises from 400 to 676 pounds to the square inch.
There is fnlly as much intereet taken in the gas question in Logansport as in the local political campaign.
A log was struck at a depth of 260 feet below the surface of the arth while boring for gas near Greenfield, Indiana.
We understand, says the Vincennes News, that the drill for natural gas will be made near Banker Hill. Sev years ago indications were discovered in prospecting for coal.
The was an excursion to Noblesville on Saturday night from Indianapolis, fifteen coaches taking more than one thousand people to see the great gas well, among whom were some of tbe meat prominent citisens oi the capital city.
At Greenfield, Saturday night, when the drillers suspended work, the gas well WW discharging such a strong flow of gas that arrangements were made to light it, and a bright flame from five to ten feet high was the result. Trenton rogk has not yet been found,
Well Ifo. 2 (ijo. 1 was a failure) at Huntington, has reached a depth of 970 feet, but the drill has not yet penetrated Trenton rock. On Saturday moroicg ghsle gas came from tbe orifice, whicb, when ignit d, gave a steady hlaae about two feet high. The diillers, who are from Lima, Q., prediet either gas or oil, but it will not be certainly developed before Monday or Tuesdsv.
The deepest hole is at Blootnicgtoa, Monroe county. It is 2,730 feet deep. Water was what they were sfter. No gas, oil or coal was found, but a small supply of sulphur water was obtained. The depths of the other famous wells arc as follows: Qrenelle, France, 1.797 feet fassy. France, 1,923 Kissensen, Bavaria, 1,878 Charleston, S. C., 1,250 St. Louis, Mo, 2,199, and Louisville, Ky., 2,086, Terre Haute, 1,970.
The Cspital City Gm Company's prospecting will bs continued aa vigorously as when they baaan. They will confine the flow of gas from the Brigbtwood well to day, and will at occe begin drilling one mile north of there. They expect to reach Trenton rock in about twenty days They have a derrick in position for drilling another well, but will do no work until the necessity for prospecting elsewhere becomes appirent.
In the Amerioan Cyclopedia, published in 1874, there is an article on gas by D/. Hageboom in which it is said: "There are many localities where combustible fcases have long been known to hsue from the earth. Gaa has been used in China for centuries, conveyed in bamboo tubes from fissures ii salt mines from 1,900 to 1,000 feet deep. Near the Caspian sea, in Asia, there are several so-called internal fires caused by gas issuing from the soil."
