And still the oil experts from the greasy regions of Ohio and Pennsylvania come.

The shah of Persia is on his way to London as an invited guest of the English government. He will want the best there is in the land, and as Empress Victoria has signified that the cost of entertaining his highness in oriental splendor is $125,000, and that she ought not to pay it out of her private [public] purse we are prepared to admit that there is room for retrenchment.

The snow storms the Rev. Ira Hicks predicted for May seem to be here on time and ahead of time, but stranger than all is the report from the country of snow that the snow storms are a good thing for the crops. We knew that there was a lack of rain but were not prepared to believe that snow storms sufliced when the rain fall was short. Yet we are now prepared to assert without the fear of successful contradiction that a snow storm in the middle of May is the most beneficial event that can happen to an oil well.

Terre Haute has a great opportunity before it. So has Vigo county. We say this in full realization of the fagt that the schemers for land privileges now realize that such is true, and that the sneak game of capturing privileges is well recognized by those experienced agents sect out by the capitalists who have made millions out of the land of the unsophisticated. There will be no trouble for our home people in securing equitable leases for land from the people who want all the usufruct to remain here.

EXCHANGE ECHOES.

Buffalo Courier: The veto message makes It perfectly clear that, as long as Governor Hill Is governor, no bill providing for an exclusive olllelal ballot will become a law in this state.

Milwaukee Sentinel: It Is unite possible that history, whose verdicts often contradict the passionate Judgments of contemporaries, may award a very respectable place to Mr. Hayes among American presidents.

Hartford Post: The Inter-state commerce commission was not formed for the express purpose of making decisions upon the color ltne, but It seems to do Its work very well whenever It Is called upon to decide questions of that sort.

Boston Herald: One of the new $8,000 police justices just appointed In New York Is described as the Tammany leader In the Nineteenth district, who was In the produce business before he got Into politics. Tills would be funny business If It wasn't so serious.

Alcphlstoplioles Burned Out. WOKCKKT F.K, MASS., May 1G.— The Worcester theater was discovered to be on tire shortly after 3 o'clock this morning, and was totally destroyed. The fire apparently started in the rear of the building near the stage. Explosions followed each other in rapid succession, and in a short time the roof fell in. "Faust" was played last night by Liouis Morrison's company. Mr. Morrison places the company's loss at §11,000, including costumes. The scenery originally cost 500, and the additions $•.2,."00. Mr. Morrison's entire legitimate wardrobe was in the theater.

A Corner in Photographs,

The photographers of the United States and all copying houses, if possible, are to be combined in one association. Bogardus, the celebrated photographer of New York, is one of the originators of the scheme.

OF INTEREST TO H00SIERS.

The county grand jury thie afternoon, says the Indianapolis News of last evening, made its final report, returning during its sitting eighty bills for various offenses, among them being a number of indictments against Township Assessor Thomas Quill and his chief deputy, Charles Tyler. The exact number of indictments against them ia not known, but there are said to be five or six true bills for obtaining money under false pretenses. The indictments are found on the facts of dummies being placed on the assessor's pay roll, the features of which have already been given in the News. The warrants are being issued as fast as possible, and the probabilities are that they will be arrested before o'clock.

It has been given out that the grand jury would not indict because of political reasons, but the evidence against the men was very strong, though both Quill and Tyler say they can explain everything when the proper time comes the men are indicted jointly and one explanation will do for both. The news that the indictments had been found became noised about the court house at 3 o'clock, and created considerable excitement that was painfully suppressed in Quill's office. The evidence at hand makes things very ugly for the assessor, and it is reported that his office will also be declared vacant by the board of commissioners

LONG TEEM TEACHEBV LIOELVS'ES.

Granted to Applicants by the Educational Board—Rulings, Etc. The state board of education adjourned yesterday, after several days' work. The text book law was not brought up at this meeting, as nothing connected with it can be done further until.the 28th inst., when bids from publishers will be opened. The board prepared examination questions for the next six months and passed upon the papers of candidates for life and eightyear professional licenses.

Fourteen applicants for state license were examined, and nine attended the requisite grade to receive it. They are W. S. Almond, Alpheus K. Baldwin, Mary L. Best, Emma R. Chandler, Conrad W. Conway, Thomas L. Harris, Francis L. Harris, Eva Malone and John R. Sherrick.

Of forty-one applicants for eight year licenses, twenty were successful. Their names are Margaret A. Arnold, Fred. M. Dewey, Charles A. Dugan, Alfred W. Duncan, Tilla G. Ewing, John Havey, William B. Jack way e, Titus E. Kinsey, Mattie E. Lowe, Watson Nicholson, Ryland Ratliff, Charles W. Schleppy, Clara Weir, Horace

G.

Woody, Josephine Fielding, Theo­

dore Huntington, Harvey Lucas, Florence Markley, Thomas M. Merica and Bertha E. Sweeney.

The following action of the board, taken from the minutes of the proceedings, is of interest to teachers: "It is moved that no candidates for life or professional license be conditioned in any subject unless the general average of standing be at least seventy-five per cent, when the subject in which the mark is below grade is counted in this average at the minimum of 60 per cent. Also, ordered that after the present examination, the subject in which the mark is below grade shall be included in the average at the per cent, actually received in tfan^»mination."

ELECTION INDICTMENTS FOUND.

S of Bailey's Made Good by tlie Present Grand Jury. The Federal grand jury is hearing testimony from a large number of witnesses who are supposed to know something of election irregularities, says the Indianapolis News.

Many from the southern part of Indiana were before the grand jury to-day. They are inquiring into the time-worn charges that voters are systematically, regularly and numerously imported from Kentucky to vote in Indiana. Some indications will probably be found, as there is evidence of spissitude before the jury.

Several, if not many, of the persons indicted by Bailey's grand jury—against whom the indictments were dismissed for irregularities—have been re-indicted, and others will be. The jury will probably return quite a batch of indictments Saturday. There is no probability that indictments against Dudley will be found. Little evidence of weight, it is believed, has thus far been presented.

Doings of the Knight#,

The election of supreme officers of the Knights of Honor to day was preceded by a great deal of scheming and wirepulling, says the Indianapolis News of yesterday. The list of new officers, since thife smoke cleared away, is found to be as follows:

Supreme dictator, A. R. Savage, Lewiston, Me. supreme vice dictator, Samuel Klotz, Newark, N. J. supreme assistant dictator, the Hon. Marsden Bellamy, Wilmington, N. C. supreme reporter, D. F. Nelson, St. Louis supreme treasurer, J. W. Branch, St. Louis, and supreme trustees, F. A. Pennington, Judge Okey Johnson of West Virginia, and Edmund R. Bacon, Easton, S. C.

The New License I.lmit.

:'V'

Oakland City is the first incorporation to take advantage of the high license law enacted by the last legislature. At the regular meeting of the town board of Oakland City last Monday evening, an ordinance was passed placing the license of saloons at $250—an increase of S200. There are four saloons in the town, and the amount of license, if paid, will be equal to almost the entire expense of the corporation.

Greencastle has increased the saloon license the full limit of the law, and made it apply to all drinkeries operated within two miles of the corparate limits. A forfeiture of $100 for each violation of the law was also imposed.

Indiana's Big AVlieat Prospcct. Of the Indiana wheat probabilities, according to State Agricultural Secretary Heron's information, the acreage of 2,710,000 acres will yield an average of about fourteen and one-half bushels per acre, or a total of 39,295,000 bushelB. Last year there was an acreage of 2,774,000 and a total yield of 28,879,000. This estimate places the average yield in 1SS9 far ahead of that of 1888. Comparing the condition of growing wheat in various winter-wheat producing states, Indiana will probably rank above Ohio, Kentucky and Missouri, and below Michigan, Illinois and Kansas.

Bonds Legal, but Where's the Money? The state treasurer received a letter from the president of the German Savings bank of New York yesterday morning. It is simply a repetition of the telegram of two days ago, stating that the attorney general of New York has de­

clared the bonds all right now and that a meeting of the trustees of the institution has been called for Saturday morning to decide whether the loan will be taken,

SUPREME COUET. ..

Abstracts of Opinions Rendered Tuesday May 14, 1889. FRAUD—NEGLIGENCE—STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS—•

CONCEALMENT OF CAUSE OF ACTION. 14,244. Wm. H. Miller vs. Anna A. Powers. Elkhart C. C. Reversed. Berkshire, J. (1) A complaint seeking to set aside an assignment of an Insurance policy and recover the avails, which assignment the plaintiff alleges she signed and acknowledged at the defendant's request, believing It to be a receipt for money paid her, and without any knowledge that her deceased husband had Insurance on his life, but not alleging that any trick artifice or Imposition was practiced upon her by the defendant to prevent her from reading or examining the instrument which she executed, and not alleging that she could not read or other excuse for want of diligence, is bad. (2) The concealment of a cause of action within the meaning of section 292 S„ 1881, must be of an afllrmatlve character mere silence by the person liable to action is not sufficient

CONTRACT OF WIFE TO SUPPORT HUSBAND. 12,410. Mary Corcoran vs. Martin Corcoran. Dearborn C. C. Reversed. Mitchell, J.

The appellee's complaint alleges that the defendant is his wife that she agreed that In consideration he would convey to her his house and lot she would support him while he lived that In consideration of that promise he conveyed the property to her that after the conveance she treated the plaintiff with great cruelty, refused to support htm, thereby compelling him to support himself and to seek shelter elsewhere that his support Is reasonably worth $4 per week. Prayer for judgment for damages, and that the judgment may be decreed to be alien on the land. Held: That the complaint does not state a cause of action. A conveyance from a husband to his wife Is presumably a voluntary settlement or provision for her benelit, and will be upheld as against the husband and his heirs, unless obtained by fraud or undue influence. But the executory promise of the wife to support the husband was void. It being the legal duty of the latter to support himself and his wife and family also. As the wife had no power to make such a contract, the plaintiff acquired no equitable right thereunder which can be recognized. SPECULATION WITH TRUST FUNDS—WHO ENTITLED

TO PROFITS.

11,772. Manhatten cloak and suit company etal vs. Henry C. Dodge et al. Elkhart C. C. Reversed. Elliott, C. J,

The attorney of the assignee of Insolvent debtors borrowed from the assignee trust funds and used it in buying claims against the debtors greatly below their face value. These claims were, after purchase by the attorney, filed against the tnsolvent'sestate and were allowed by the assignee. The attorney paid the assignee Interest on the money so borrowed, and the latter accounted for both the money loaned and the Interest In his report. Held: That the attorney had no right to reap any profit from the purchases made by him with the trust funds, and It was the duty of the court to require the assignee to account for the actual profits, for the benefit of the estate, without proof of a corrupt design of fraudulent practice. Held, also, that an .assignee is chargeable with interest on money which he unreasonably delays to pay over for distribution. CHATTEL MORTGAGE—CONVERSION BT MORT­

GAGEE.

13,684. Ira C. Hartman vs. John C. Bingenberger et al. Marshall C. C. Reversed. Olds, J. Where the mortgagee of chattels takes possession thereof under a p&w'er contained In the mortgage, and converts the same to his own use. the mortgage debt Is extinguished to the extent of the value of the property. If the property is of greater value than the amount of the debt, the debt is completely extinguished and satisfied. If the mortgagee obtains possession of the property by proceeding*. In replevin and converts It to his own .use, notwithstanding a judgment Is rendered In the replevin proceedings for the mortgageor, the latter may either sue on the rep levle bond for damages, or he may Bet up the retention and conversion of the property as a defense to an action for judgment on the note secured by the mortgage and for forclosure. CLAIMS AGAINST COUNTIKS— CONSTITUTIONAL LAW, 13,538. Ellas Maxwell vs. board of commissioners of Fulton county. Fulton C. C. Rehearing denied. Coffey, J.

The act of March 20,1879, requiring all claims against counties In this state to be tiled and adjudicated before tne board of commissioners. Is not In conflict with the constitution, as claimed by the petitioner, because it authorizes one of the parties to the suit to pass upon the case, and deprives the other party of the right of trial by jury unless he Is able to give bond for costs and appeal' to another court.

How the Rothschilds Cobbling the Oil Trade of Buaala.

The great Paris firm ot Messrs. Bothachild seema to have aenonaly taken the Russian petroleum trade into ita meehee, envoking thereby the wrath of the patriotic Russian preaa, aaa the North British Duly Mail. Messrs. Noble still apparently maintain their independent position, but the smaller firms are gradually being drawn into the net of the great French financiers who have already made a firm footing for themselves on Muscovite soil. The Rothschilds export annually by rail on their own account over 2,500,000 poods (one pood, 3G pounds English) of petroleum, while no less than 41 private firms supply them by contract with 13,500,000 poods, in addition to which 1,500,000 poods are sent by WBy of Volga,^ thus making a total exportation of 17,500,000 poods per annum. Taking the total consumption of petroleum in Russia at 20,000,0C0 poods, and the foreign exports of other firms at 12,000,000 or 35,000,000 poods in all, it would follow that more than half of all the Russian petroleum in the market is already in the hands of the Rothschilds. But this is only the commencement, as it is currently stated that ten more firms have quite recently concluded negotiations with the Rothschilds. For all the petroleum which the latter thus take on commission from the smaller private producers,a certain sum ia deducted for leakage, storing and so forth, averaging fifteen copecks per pood, and amounting to nearly 2,500,000 roubles per annum. The whole of this amount is not, of course, so much clear profit to the Rothschilds, as the actual expenses probably do amount to 1,000,000 roubles but the system is not a good one for the Baku producers, whose position reminds one somewhat of that of the Russian peasants, who sell their corn in autumn to the landlords at 3 roubles the tchetvert, and buy it back again in the spring at 5 roubles for the same quantity. But such an arrangement as that above named does not suffice for the Rothschilds firm, who are using their best endeavors to acquire possession of the petroleum district itself.

The firm qontinues to receive offers from many solid producers to take over their whole business, but up to the present the Rothschilds have shown no great eagerness to do so. The reason of this inclination is not that they do not wish to argument their undertaking, but because they see further than the Russian firms thinks. They ask themselves why they should spend millions in order to buy up the more important producers, since by so doing they would merely acquire ground already exhausted with antiquated machinery and ancient plant. It is far better for them to take their money to virgin soil. By following such a policy they have already acquired about one hundred and twenty acres of land which has never been worked, and where almost any amount of naphtha can be obtained without any deep boring. Thus it appears that the petroleum industry is rapidly becoming a pure monopoly and once the Rothschilds have made themselves master of the market they will fill it with goods of their own, and at their own price and who then can say what will be the limit of their demand. Already, says our correspondent, the Rothschilds have spoilt the Russian petroleum trade by flooding the foreign markets with inferior articles from all sorts of producers^ It will be quite impossible to"compet&Hvith ther American petroleum in thia manner, And the Baku firms fear that the reputation of their petroleum, which the great Nobel firm had done so much to improve, will be vefy considerably lowered. Great surprise has been expressed among them, too, that the minister of finance should have opposed the passing of the law. last year which was jjroposed to forbid the acquisition of petroleum land by foreign-

A foolish demonstration was made at Pittsburg on Sunday night in the name of the Law and Order league of that city. An opera company was billed for a sacred concert, and the agent of the league prepared to sue them for violating the law of 1794. Under the same law the warrants could not be served until after 12 o'clock Sunday night, so it was a race on the part of the opera singers to get away before that hour. The manager infermed the audience of the situation, and asked them to kindly refrain from encores, as that might prolong the concert beyond the hour of midnight, when the officers of the law could engage in worldly employment and serve the warrants. A railroad train which usually leaves at 10:30 was induced "to wait half an hour, and by a little after 11 o'clock the singers were whirled out of town. The trainers of the law of 1794 did not take railroad trains into account. —[Indianapolis Journal.

Another Breathing Well.

The Texas & Pacific company sank a bored well some years ago near Eagle Fiat station, about one hundred and ten miles east of El Paso, in a fruitless endeavor to obtain artesian water. The well was abandoned when it had been bored 800 feet, but the tubing is still intact in it. This abandoned well has proved to be a remarkable natural phenomenon. For twelve houra each day a furious gust of air rushes into the tubing, and the next twelve hours an equally strong gust rushes out. This occurs with the "Utmost regularity, and, so far, no break has been noticed in the regular occurrence. At first it was claimed that the air coming out from the well was highly magnetized, but later investigations have failed to prove this assertion.

A Kokomo Han's Uniqne Visiting Card. One of the president's callers to-day was Mr. Loop, of Kokomo, Ind. His visiting card is quite a businesslike affair, its face being decorated with a row of grain measures, the like of which are manufactured by him when he is not hunting for office. The largest one represents a sixteen-quart measure, and it was too small to hold Loop's hopes a couple of months ago. Now the quart measure down at the other end of the pictorial row would probably contain all he expects to get. Mr. Loop informed a reporter that his reputation out in Ko­

komo was that of -a "hustler," and it was generally believed out in that village that he could get anything he wanted from the administration. Confidentially he regretfully informed the reporter- that this idea was without solid foundation.—[Washington special.

IT SHOULD BE ALL DAY" WITH 111*.

A Young Ohio Farmer Kills His Divorced Wife and His Father. CINCINNATI, May 16.—Robert Day, 27 years'old, son of a wealthy farmer living two miles from Loveland, Ohio, reached home about midnight last night from a circus, intoxicated. The family was awaiting him. Drawing two revolver*1, he declared his intention of "cleaning out the ranch." The family hastily left the room. Robert Day, sr., 65 years old, was the last to leave, and his son, with deliberate aim, fired at him and sent a ball through his body, and he sank to the floor. Young Day/then went in search of other members of this family, but finding none, went to an adjoining farm where Mrs. Hubbell, his divorced wife, lived. He forced an entrance. The noise awakened Mrs. Hubbell who came out to see the cause. Day, meeting her, fired, striking her in the stomach. The servant girl appeared and he fired at her, giving her a Blight wound in the face. He then fired the barn and kept the neighbors away with his drawn revolvers until the marshal overpowered him, during which Day fired ten shots at the party, one of which touched the face of the marshal. Mr. Day and Mrs. Hubbell were fatally wounded. Three years ago the murderer married Mrs. Hubbell, while employed by her on her farm. Two years later he began drinking, and 6he was compelled to get adivorce. He has been heard to threaten to get even, but no reason is known for killing his father.

THE FUNERAL OP MRS. HEMINWAY.

The Services and Final Rites Over the Remains To-Morrow. The Rev. F. S. Dunham, formerly rec tor of St. Stephen's Church, who was the especial pastor of the late Mrs. Sarah Heminway, arrived in the city yesterday and will conduct the funeral services to-morrow morning at 10:30 o'clock, at the residence at the corner of Seventh and Chestnut streets. The interment will be at Woodlawn cemetery.

At a meeting of the board of managers of the Rose Polytechnic institute, together with Dr. Mendenhall, president of the faculty, held on Wednesday afternoon, May -15, the following resolutions were passed:

Whereas, This board has been convened to give an expression of feeling in regard to the demise of that estimable woman, Mrs. Sarah J. Heminway, by whose death this institute has lost a valued friend, and the cause ot pbllanthrophy an unostentatious benefactor therefore

Besolved, That we tender our sincere sympathy to the sorrowing daughter In her bereavement that the board and faculty will attend the funeral services In a body, and that we fully concur in the following expressions of the sentiments of the members of the faculty, to-wlt:

In the death of Mrs. Heminway the Rose Polytechnic institute and Its faculty have suffered an Irreparable loss. Her life was filled ijlth generous deeds, done in a kind, helpful way, and with a rare delicacy of feeling, the story of which is written only In the hearts of those benefitted.

With a benevolent heart and noble minded charities reaching in all directions, Mrs. Heminway followed the lead of her generous kinsman, Chauncey Rose, and became especially interested In the education of the young, and her name will be inseparably connected with the institution which he founded.

Her private charities in this direction were many and her Interest in the institute extended to everything connected with it. The members of the faculty, comlna to the city as strangers, were especially made to feel by her wise counsels and unfailing kindness that in her they bad an interested and constant friend, and for this reason they will ever bold her name in grateful remembrance. To the daughter who shared her mother's joys, sorrows and beneficlent activity, they extend their warmest sympathy in her hour of affliction.

We Have a Very Good Name. The suggestion is made that 1892 would be a good time to drop the name America and call this hemisphere Columbia hereafter. Thanks, awfully, but the United States of America is a pretty good name, and we are quite content to worry along with it for another century or so. It is moved ns an amendment that the change be postponed till 1992. —[New York Tribune.

POLITICS AND POLITICIANS. The Ohio Republican convention will be held at Columbus, June 25th.

General Robert P. Kennedy has announced himself as a candidate for governor on the Republican ticket in Ohio

St. Louis

Globe-Democrat:

The best

that can be 6aid of Colonel Calvin S. Brice, the prospective chairman of the Democratic national committee, is that he is on record as having carried more states for his party 'by the process of imagination, only to see them go Republican mhen the votes were polled, than any other wan who over managed one of its campaigns.

The Nineteenth Illinois district has usually gone Democratic by a heavy majority. Ordinarily the Republicans would have no chance for success in it. In the coming contest, however, the conditions are different from those which generally obtain. The Democratic candidate for the post made vacant by the death of Congressman Townshend has none of the elements of popularity which Townshend possessed, and cannot make a strong run for the place. The Republican candidate, on the other hand, will poll the full vote of the party and undoubtedly secure many Democratic votes besides. In fact, the Republicans are justified in feeling some encouragement at the outlook.
