A Jury of Lawyers at Crawfordsville Disagree Just Like Common Juries.

THE SALVATIONISTS ATTACK A "DEVILS STRONGHOLD."

Novel use of a Grasshopper.—A Hairless Hog.—Rockville's Wonderful Dog.

The superintendent of the street railroods in Vincennes related to a reporter of the Commercial a novel story of how a tramp driver beat them out of many a fare. The method was original at least. The superintendent said: "The fellow came from Texas and had seen a good deal of the world. "It was in August and too hot to walk so wo were doing a good business. "The boys often noticed the fellow go across the street from the stables and hunt around among the weeds which grew on a vacant lot opposite the stables. The other drivers watched him and found he was catching grasshoppers. The drivers, very naturally, thought he was a 'crank' and 'guyed' him unmercifully. The most careful watching failed to detect what he did with the grasshoppers. Finally I got 'onto his racket' and discharged him. "The fellow would tie a thread to the 'hopper's' leg and drop it down in the cash box and tie the thread outside. When on one was watching he would pull out the grasshopper which would clutch at the bottom of the box, grasp a nickel and pull it out with him. The driver would take the nickel and drop the grasshopper back into the cash box. "The shortage in his runs were heavy and we watched, but could not ferret out the leak until I happened to lind a grasshopper's leg in the cash drawer. This gave me a clue and I Unally ^detected the trick and discharged him."

That famed "Devil's stronghold," Vincennes, is now being besieged by a command of the Salvation army. Following as tho proclamation sent out to the sinners of all kinds, announcing the commencement of hostilities: "We mean tills world for ticxi.

Whosoever will ma.v come."

The great Salvation Army of the world is coming to Vincennes, and are going to storm the Devil's stronghold and build it up for God. When and where are they going to hold their first meeting? Why December 29,1887, at Chas. Graeter's hall, corner Third and Main streets.

They have come to stay and have leased the hall for one year. Who is going to be the leader? Why, Mrs. Colonel Thompson, the Little American Wonder, or the so-called Talking Machine Lieut. Black, the Nightingale Singer Cadet Lizzie, the Hallelujah Drummer Cadet Marshal. Cadet Ethel. A host of others will swell the ranks.

Open air meeting at 7:30, meeting and speaking every night in hall at 8 o'clock. Christians are cordially invited to help roll the old chariot along.

A wonderful revival is expected. Everybody come to the hall on Third and Main, there you will see a wonderful meeting. Come and see for yourself. A 10 cent offering will be taken at tho door to defray expenses, and prevent a break in the meeting. Under command of Colonel Thompson, headquarters at Evansville, Ind.

The other day at Crawfordsville, a case of supposed insanity wa3 tried by a jury composed wholly of lawyers save one man—a court stenographer. A paper there calls attention to the inconsistency of the Crawfordsville bar, or at least that portion of it that was locked up in the jury room in that peculiar case. They had no sooner retired than they "all began with one accord" to differ from each other. They balloted numerously but could como to no agreement. One of the great complaints heard from the members of tho bar, is that juries don't agree often enough. Now the very first case whore they had an opportunity of sotting an example they disagreed. After wrangling an hour they began to send petitions to the judge asking him to release them, but nothing availed. Thoy, however, managed to stick it out until they got a good dinner at the county's expense. This is a thing all jurors are blamed for, but what else could be expected from lawyers? After dinner and after a three hours' struggle, this lawyer jury agreod to disagree, just like other folks, and the expense of a new trial must bo borno by the country. This incident teaches that lawyers are no bettor than they ought to be.

The editor of the Cumberland Times gives a clear diagnosis of his case at some length. A short word expresses the whole thing, however, if ho had thought to use it—that is, "lazy." But read his 'plaint: "This is the season of the year when the mind of man rises above the gross elements which go to make up this life, and soars far above the wearisome routine of every day life. A sort of delicious lethargy steals over him, pervading his whole being, and making it next to impossible for him to concentrate his thoughts upon his business cares. This sort of lethargy has been stealing over us little by little for some time and has at last so completely taken possession of our faculties, that we lind it next to impossible to drag through an oxistonce unless we take a holiday. So .wo have concluded not to issue any paper next week, and take a little jollilicatien. and after Now Years we'll spit on our hands, roll up our sleeves and be ready for work. We extend the compliments of the season to everybody, and wish you a merry Christmas and a

Happy New Year." Vincennes Commercial: "The children of Mr. M. A. Bosworth will live to an advanced age if there be such a thing as hereditary longevity. The parents of both Mr. and Mrs. Bosworth are still living and are hale and hearty. Mr. Isaac Bosworth, father of Mr. M. A. Bosworth, is past SO years of age and his wife is 78. They have raised a large family of children and havo never had a d«ath in their Tamily. They havo celebrated their golden wedding.

Mr. Franz Feikie, father of Mrs. Bosworth, has passed his SOth year while his wife is 78th. They, also, have celebrated their golden wedding. They, too. have raised a large family of children and have never lost a child by natural death. One daughter was burned to death. The descendants of both families seem to be remarkably healthy and sickness is almost unknown among them. We doubt very much if there is such another case on record anywhere.

Rockville has a wonderful dog, and the Eagle relates the following story of his intelligence, and perhaps jealousy: "Dr.

Cross has a very intelligent as well as well-bred Newfoundland dog. The other day a young blood called on a lady that "Don" also had a tender spot for, and believing himself quite at home, the before mentioned blood eat down without removing his hat. Much to his chagrin, the dog eyed him contemptuously for several seconds and then walked majestically over to the chair occupied by the young ill-bred, raised up and taking the fellow's hat gently from his head, carried it to the host who laid it on the table. The blushing youth soon called for his hat and departed leaving Don the field.

The Princeton Clarion finds a good thing even now and then and now it puts forth the following which though unusual still bears the probability of truth: "William Lauphear -brought in a drove of-twenty-seven hogs Monday which averaged 337 pounds. In the drove was a curiosity in the shape of a 400- pound porker perfectly hairless. Its hide as about the color of an elephant's and was free from hair as a babe's cheek. The curious animal was closely scrutinized, for there was a reward of $5 offered for ever?- hair found upon its body."

Information gained in this way is more likely to stick in the memory than not. The Olney Times says: "An O. & M. employe went to Sabbath school the other Sunday for the first time in fourteen years. He stated he couldn't find the word 'girl' in the Bible, and that he would give anyone §2 who could find the word. By next morning two little girls found the word, and it just cost him84."

THE NEWS OF THE RAILWAYS.

Harry Crawford to Open Up the Sund Creek Coal Fields—General Notes. Mr. Harry Crawford, the foundation and life of the Indiana Midland railway, was in the city yesterday to see President McKeen, of the Vandalia, and was caught at the Union depot by an Express reporter just as he was congratulating himself that he was to get out of the city without being interviewed. He stated that the company has purchased the Sand Creek coal lands north of Rockville, and that his visit to Mr. McKeen had been for the purpose of making arrangements by which the company might be able to open out the coal district over the Vandalia to Waveland. Tho Midland is now lost in the woods about half a mile from Waveland, but this short distance will soon be covered and from that point it is but twelve miles south to the Sand Creek station. Tho Vandalia company at one time had a branch running out to the Sand Creek mines, but this was permitted to run down, as the business over it did not justify keeping the track in condition, and last summer a portion of the rails were torn up. These will be relaid, and the remainder of the line repaired, as President McKeen has assured Mr. Crawford that he will experience no trouble in perfecting arrangements to run over the T. H. & L. This connection will open up a line to this city, and with the coal business of Sand Creek will be of material benefit to the Midland. Mr. Crawford said eighty miles were in operation, and through a good territory. It is the intention to make Ft. Wayne the northern terminal,'and the extension to this city is not abandoned. Mr. Crawford took occasion to call on several gentlemen interested in the Terre Haute & Mississippi railway, while here, and informed tho reporter that he would soon be in Terre Haute again to talk about connecting with the Terre Haute & Mississippi in case the township votes the aid asked which will insuro its construction.

Edward Calvert, of the Vandalia, has been off duty during the last week on account of sickness.

A large amount of work is now being done in the Vandalia shops on the new pony engine under construction.

R. A. Campbell, general agent of the C. & E. I. and E. & T. H., attended the meeting of commercial travelers at Evansville.

The decision in the Vandalia-Pennsyl-vania suit will be rendered on Wednesday at Chicago. The decision has been a long time coming.

The Vandalia company is repairing the roads along the switch from Chestnut to Main street. During the last few days four horses have been required to haul out a wagon load of coal on account of the mud.

The Pan Handle company has commenced to wage war on its employes, who are of dissolute habits and who frequent gambling houses. A number of the employess at Logansport have been called up for investigation and, on confession, are "laying off."

E. A. Ford, general passenger agent of the Panhandle lines wstof Pittsburg, is feeling good over the efforts which have been made to boycott that road the last few months by agents of roads where commissions have been cut off, as the revenue of the passenger department for 18S7 exceeds that of any former year, §300,000, and is in excess of the receipts of 1886 nearly $000,000.

The Frisco line has announced a series of grand excursions to all points in Texas from January 11th to June 8th, inclusive, two each month. The rate will bo one fare for the round trip out of St. Louis, good going fifteen days and returning the same length of time, tickets good for sixty days. Passenger Agent Appleby said yesterday that the company was determined to divert some travel now going to Kansas to the equally good regions in Texas.

A Novel Instance of Insurance Dispute^ Knights of Pythias at Brazil.

DEATH.FROM STARVATION AND EXPOSURE NEAR MARSHALL.

Th.e Ladoga Burglar Pleads Guilty —Attempt at Suicide at Vincennes—Peculiar Death.

Special to the Expres*. BRAZIS, Ind., January 7.—Col. Oyler, of Franklin, attorney for the Supreme lodge Knights of Pythias, was here yesterday to take some preliminary steps in the case of Lucia A. Knight, against the K. of P. order on an insurance policy of §2,000 on the life of her father, the late E. S. Hussey. This case may be of Bome public interest, especially to members of that order. In 1877 Mr. Hussey being then 61 years of age, took out an insurance policy payable to Mrs. Knight for $2,000. At that time the constitution of the order provided for two insurance classes, and the class to which Mr. Hussey belonged contained 16,000 members. By the terms of the policy the amount to be paid upon the death of the insured was a sum equal to the number of members in the class, assessed at the rate of one dollar per capita, not exceeding S2,000. But in 1884, at the meeting of tho Supreme lodge, held in New Orleans, the constitution was changed so as to provide for a new class into which members under 60 years of age might go and in which their assessments would be very materially decreased. By the creation of this new class the membership of the old class in which Mr. Hussey was obliged to remain, by reason of being over 60 years of age, was so exhausted that at the time of his death it contained only 173 members, which at the rate of "one dollar a piece entitled the beneficiary to only $173. She had paid in the way of assessments about S250. Now it is claimed by the plaintiff, as a proposition of law, that the lodge had no right to make such a change in the constitution of the order, as it existed at the time the contract of insurance was entered into, as would impair the value of the policy. In other words, that if the order had the right to change its constitution, so as to reduce the value of the policy from $2,000 to S173, it could as well repudiate all obligation under the policy, and declare it altogether void and that nothing should ever be paid on it. The case of Edward Hussey, who holds a policy for SI,000, involves precisely the same principle. George A. Knight is assisted for the plaintiff by D. E. Williamson, of Greencastle.

Thursday Henry Morris, who pleaded guilty to the charge of burglary, was sentenced to eight years imprisonment. He is the man who aided in breaking into a store at Ladoga and took several hundred dollars worth of goods, a part of which were recovered in Indianapolis, where he was arrested. Morris is an assumed name, but he refused to reveal his true name and it is not known, nor is it known where he belongs. He also refused to reveal his accomplices.

A special from Marshall says: The dead body of Mrs. Sarah Huffman was found Friday morning in an old hut on the Wilkin farm, two miles north of the city, where she has been living for the past few months. Her husband deserted her about four months ago. The hut has no floor, and the walls are seamed with cracks which let in tho cold winds. The woman's three children were sitting beside the body on the bed when found. The poor woman died from starvation and exposure. The children will be cared for by the city.

OBITUARY.

Died, Friday morning, at his rosidence on Sycamore street, after a lingering illness, Charles A. Brown, aged 27 years, •1 months and 27 days. Deceased has long been known in this city and from his earliest boyhood has given constant evidence in his daily life of being thoroughly imbued with that strength of character that forms the basis of true manhood. For several years, at intervals. he has been connected with the fire department and just previous to his death had received a regular appointment on the present force. He was a faithful and efficient fireman, in whatsoever capacity he served, and his loss to the department will be keenly felt. He was kind and forbearing in disposition, generous to a fault, and by his example among his fellow-firemen did much to promote the efficiency of the force. He leaves a wife and three small children, but that kind

GOT A GOOD LOOK AT VIC.

The Queen of England as She Appeared at Short Range to an American. A correspondent of the New York Sun who has lately seen Queen Victoria describes that important event thus:

After waiting a quarter of an hour or more, for my party was prompt, as her majesty was also, to the exact minute, I saw a group of brilliant red-coated horsemen coming down the broad shaded avenue, galloping like mad. It was a brilliant spectacle, like a cavalry charge, for they had their sabers drawn and at their shoulders. At their head rode one of the masters of her majesty's horse, or a groom in waiting, I don't know which, but it makes no difference, riding alone at a trot, although the rest of the horsemen galloped. He was in red also, wore lots of gold lace and a black cocked hat, and looked as if he realized his importance. Then came four mounted carbineers abreast with their guns on their hips and their hands on the triggers, ready for any emergency. Then forty or more of the handsome guards sitting their black steeds like centaurs, and their silver trappings jingling like music.

In the midst of them was the state carriage, a most gorgeous affair of yellow and black, with a crest on the door as large as a washtub—the royal arms. It was drawn by four large horses, each ridden by a groom wearing the royal livery of scarlet coats, white breeches, high hats with gold bands, and a broad strip of black crape around the left arm, the symbol of mourning that has never been taken off since Prince Albert died, and never will be as long as Victoria lives. Upon the high seat in front, where the coachman should have been, sat two footmen in black with silk knee-breeches and powdered hair, and upon a corresponding seat over the hind wheels were two brawny Scotchmen, gillies, in the Highland costume, with their big sabers at their shoulders. Her majesty never goes anywhere without these two men. When sho sits upon the throne they are behind her when she walks in the park they are always within call. This is the duty the famous John Brown performed, and he did good service in having twice saved Victoria's life. One of the men I sawserved with Brown, and the other was selected for his place when he died.

On the back seat of the. carriage sat bolt upright a fat little woman, with a very red face, almost as broad as tall, clad in black silk and a small old-fash-ioned black bonnet with a widow's veil thrown over her shoulders. She didn't look much like an empress, and the ladies of my party insisted that she resembled a washer-woman but she bowed graciously to us as we lifted our hats, and doubtless recognized us as Americans, as all others do.

There were three young ladies in the carriage with her, dressed in white muslin, and looking very prim. They were her granddaughters, the daughters of "Fritz," the crown prince of Prussia, and the prince of Wales, rather plain girls, as all the royal children are. As they passed me they exchanged some remarks with the queen, which I would have given a world to have overhead, for they were evidently about the ladies of my party, as pretty a group of American girls as ever decorated the top of a tallyho coach. It was butTan instant, and the royal party was out of sight, followed by a couple of carriages containing Prince Battenberg, the husband of Beatrice, and several other gentlemen and ladies.

PHYSICIAN! MAY ADVERTISE.

A State Board of Health Can Not Ilovoko a License, An important question of personal liberty to follow a vocation after one's own fashion was decided yesterday by Judge Waterman, says the Chicago Times. The case was that of the state board of health against Dr. J. Cresap McCoy. The board revoked the physician's license for alleged unprofessional conduct, which consisted of his method of treaiment and the display advertisement of his purported cures. A detectiye discovered that McCoy was practicing after the license was revoked, and this was a quasi-criminal proceeding to enforce a statutory fine for so doing. The two points which Judge Waterman had to decide were whether the defendant had notice of the trial by the board at which his license was revoked, and whether, if he had notice, the legislative act under which the board proceeded was not constitutional, as being unjust, arbitrary, and in conflict with the rights guaranteed by the constitution of the state. The court held that McCoy had no notice of such a character as gave the board a right to condemn him because he did not re spond to it, and that the power exercised by the board in the revocation of a medical license for what is known as unprofessional or dishonorable practices as a police power repugnant to the constitution. Notice of a contemplated trial, the court says, has always Btood as the elementary rule of the administration of justice. For a physician to advertise his calling and his cures might be deemed by the state board unprofessional, but it was the constitutional right of every practioner, and he could not be deprived of his inalienable privilege of earning his bread in the calling and manner easiest to his peculiar abilities. The proceeding was different from a proceeding to disbar an attorney, the latter member of the body politic being a creature of artificial society, while a physician's business arose from natural needs. The board of health was not controled in its acts at all, and was very little removed from a star chamber. The punishment of a revocation of license was for life, compared to which the imprisonment for felony was light. If it were necessary that physicians be not guilty of dishonorable or unprofessional conduct, it was equally so that lawyers, editors, ministers, and even merchants, should be free from it, and any law to improve the morals of a class was invalid if it could not be given general appication. The court found for the defendant. ,,
