Chicago is having a surfeit of sensations in the Carter divorce suit, the insane hospital investigation and the finding of the body of Dr. Cronin.

THE EXPRESS cheerfully bears witness that Dr. Roberts is not so "cheap" as some of the local political bosses seem to think. His return to the fold cannot be secured by appointing his boy to the oflice of city engineer.

The warrant for .$100,000 for the new Normal was drawn at the state offices yesterday. Uulesssome unforseen and very serious cause interferes the new building will be ready for the school at the opening of the fall term in September.^

The Diall well yesterdey gave renewed evidence of a strong How of a superior quality of oil. It has passed beyond the stag© of doubt or experiment, and there is no reason for not believing that other and equally as big wells will yet be found in and near the city.

It is now made known that during Cleveland's administration a special agent of the revenue bureau discovered the frauds in the Cincinnati collector's oflice and made a report of them but instead of proper action being taken by the authorities the agent was sent to another part of the country.

Rvansville is fully alive to the value of drumming up trade. It is proposed to give the merchants of southwestern Kentucky along the line of the new road, the Ohio Valley, an excursion and a banquet. Terre Haute certainly can do no less than give each of its friends in the valley a bottle of oil.

There is good reason for the belief that many persons in the valley would like to visit the oil well and that they would take advantage of excursions on the railroads to do so. Visitors from the surrounding towns are coming to the city daily, some of them with the thought of investing in property here to takfc advantage of the boom the city is sure to experience as a result of the discovery of oil.

Secretary Blaine is to give an excursion party to Mount Vernon in honor of the new English minister. Sir Edward Thornton, when minister at Washington, celebrated the queen's birthday on one occasion with a party at Mount Vernon, and the members of the legation enjoyed their lawn tennis and champagne lunch under the shadow of,the trees thatjmake beautiful the location of George Washington's tomb.

It is reported from Washington that the president wants an extra session of congress in October, believing that much good could be done in jthe months preceding the Christmas holidays. It is urged that the majority could get its tariff policy in shape anil legislation enacted so that congress could adjourn early next year, instead of running late the summer as is usually done in the first session of a new congress, thereby permitting the members to go into their districts in time to do etiective campaign work.

The Illinois house give the prohibition movement a black eye that will prevent it assuming threatening proportions in that state for a long time. In Illinois, as elsewhere this year, prohibition has met with defeat because the people have learned the practical temperance benefit there is in high license. If the present law in that state had not been passed a few years ago Illinois would, without doubt, be witnessing the mockery of so-called prohibition to-day.

The city council by rejecting the bids for the sewer and removing Engineer Simpson said that he had misled them in the matter. Our esteemed contemporary, which was in the scheme with Simpson, has no word to say in his behalf now and deserts him when he most needs defender. By the way as the (Jazette helped mislead the council the vote to bounce Simpson can be construed as a hint to our contemporary that the couple of hundred dollars it secured for advertisements should be returned. If the council will formally establish a conscience fund perhaps something will be dropped into it.

OF INTEREST TO H00SIERS.

The grand lodge of Indiana, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, met in semi-annual convention this morning, says the Indianapolis News of last evening. Several hundred delegates are attendance. Their business is to receive an account of the official work of the grand officers and the subordinate lodges, and to deliberate on measures proposed for the advancement of the order. i:

J. E. C. F. Harper, grand master, in his report, 'said to the delegates: "The prosperity of our order still continues. Owing to the political excitement which so generally absorbed the attention of our people, the increase of membership in our lodges during the term ending December 31, 1838, was much less than for the preceding six months. Still there is a gain of several kundred. I have granted but two dispensations for new subordinate lodges. I agree_ with my immediate predecessor in the opinion that 'we have too many weak lodges now.' I am of the opinion that we have already a sufficient number of lodges in this jurisdiction, and that great caution is necessary in granting dispensations, and I believe that the 'good of the order' calls- for the strengthening of existing lodges by consolidation with those in their immediate vicinity, rather than for the weakening of those already established by icstitutiag new ones to engage in a contest for obtaining new members whereby to procure funds to support a short and sickly existence."

B. F. Foster, grand secretary, reported the following interesting facts. Sixteen hundred and eighty-two brothers and 154 widowed families have been relieved in the last six months. The sum of 926.30 has been paid for the relief of brothers 82,055 62 for the relief of widowed families $480.74 for the education of orphans $9,421.96 for burying the dead, and $3,579.79 for other chaiitable purposes, making the total amount of relief S53,0G4.41. Four new subordinate lodges have been instituted since the last session, and two have surrendered their charters. Charters have also been granted for ten Rebekah lodges. The number of lodges now effective is 554, a net gain of two membership 30,839, less total abstements 980 net gain 1,043. The resources of all lodges Jare $1,753,354.85 receipts of lodges, §142:241 expenses of lodges, 357,619 total expenses, including relief, 8110,683. The total receipts of the grand lodge were $20,323 balance, 812,681. The Rebekah lodges have a total membership of 8,238 at the close of the year, a gain of 1,469 total assets, 19,087.15.

The grand lodge hall trustees reported receipts, 812,104.88 dividens paid, $2,240 cash balance to the credit of the fund, 85,474.

COY IS COMING HOME.

I'pou a Petition President Harrison Remitt* His Flue. Sim Coy will resume business in politics and in the council on the first of June. It remained for a Republican administration to remit the fine against him, in response to a petition signed by Dan Ransdell, John C. New and A1 Wishard, Republicans, and Win. Henderson, Democrat. Charles Cooper to-day received a telegram from Secretary Halford, announcing that the president would remit the tine of $100 and costs, aggregating $750. This will enable Coy to come home at the expiration of his sentence, whereas "had the fine not been remitted, he would have had to wear stripes thirty days longer.

Tnere has been some correspondence between the attorney general and Judge Woods relative to the remittance of the fine. Two remonstrances, sent to Cleveland and Garland, influenced the former administration against the remittance. The aotion of the present administration grew out of the petition carried to Washington by John C. New. For want of authority to do so The News does not state the attitude of Judge Woods, but it is understood that he did not seek to influence the administration in the case at all.

It will be remembered that Coy was sent to the penitentiary for complicity in the tally-sheet cases for eighteen months and fined $100, while Bernhamer, who was supposed to be wealthy, was sentenced for one year and—which would have hurt him more if he had paid it— was tieed $1,000. Both Coy and Bernhamer made "good time." There has been prevalent a feeling that Coy has suffered enough. This sentiment is not general nor well-sustained, but it is believed that Coy was not more guilty than others, who escaped, and that he was only a pupil of politicians of another school. His poverty—robbed by Sullivau—is the supposed cause of the remittance of the fine.

The news that Coy's fine and costs had been remitted by President Harrison caused quite a stir about the court house this morning, and not a little comment. "I am going to Michigan City," said W. H. Eden, ("Cloose,") who has been Coy's friend and admirer in all his troubles, "on the first train that will take me there. I am going to carry the glad news to Sim and see what he wants done, if anything, about giving him a reception when he comes back. He will be here a week from Saturday, and the boys will all be glad to see him." "Goose" and others propose to greet Sim with a band and a procession. Sim is supposed to ba still the real owner of a saloon—the proprietorship of which he wilt resume.

DIVIDING THE MONEY.

Snatch Gr:il for the $700,000 State I.oan— II Will be Prorated, Treasurer Lemcke now has to hiB credit 8700,000 received from the New York German savings banks on the temporary loan bonds, but he will not have it long unless some arrangement is made for partial payment of the special appropriations which aggregate about one million two hundred thousand dollars. It is the intention of the auditor and treasurer to pro rate the amount between the different institutions instead of paying all of some appropriations and none of others. The Terre Haute Normal school has already demanded the $100,000 of its appropriation, while the state university has given notice that it wants the $60,000 appropriated for its new library building without delay. Kanmacher & Denig were paid the $90,000 of reserved per cent, due on the state house contract this morning. If the money can be divided so as to meet the needs of all interested until next September, the strain will be relieved, as then $700,000 more can be raised on the remainder of the temporary loan bonds.

The Refunding Hood Loan Act. With a view to avoiding a recurrence of the trouble experienced in securing money on the temporary loan bonds, the state auditor asked the attorney general

if he regarded the bonds for the refunding of the school fund indebtedness, amounting to $3,900,000, as constitutional, says the Indianapolis News. It will be necessary to sell the bonds in time to liquidate the school fund loan by the let of July. The attorney general has prepared an opinion in which he states with emphasis that he believes the act authorizing the issuance of the refunding bonds as constitutional.

This afternoon the auditor drew warrants for $100,000 for the state Normal, $50,000 for the insane hospital and $4^50 for the Vulcanite company.

Daughters of Rebeckah Elect Officers. Officers of the Daughters of Rebeckah for the year have been elected as follows: President, Miss Alice McQuiddy, city vice president, Mrs. Anna Henderson, South Bend secretary, Miss Harriet F. Case, Muncie treasurer, Mrs. Sarah Knight, Aurora delegates to the September convention at Columbus, Ohio, Mrs. Eliza B. Hall, Evansville^ Mrs. Grace Hannah, Thorn town Miss Nannie Crose, Muncie Miss Lucinda Coates, Winchester alternates, Miss Henrietta Veripe, Indianapolis Mrs. Nellie See, Terre Haute Miss Mary E. Downey, Richmond, and Mrs. Sweenly, New Albany.— Indianapolis News.

Indiana News Notes.

The New Albany Masons have subscribed $23,000 toward building a Masonic temple. Oscar Logan, a paloter, serving a sentence in jail at Fort Wayne for drunkenness, committed suicide yesterday by hanging.

Another raid upon the gaming element-has been made at Logansport, and all the "tools" falling Into the hands of the authorities have been destroyed.

The new town which Is being laid off In Jackson county, on the line ot the Kvansville & Richmond railway, will be named Kurtz, In honor of Harry Kurtz, attorney of the road.

The new Bepubllcan council at Shelbyvtlle made a sweeping reduction of salaries of all the city officers. The total cut amounted to nearly fifteen hundred dollars. The council will probably raise the saloon license at next meeting.

John Fallls, near Franklin, left home to peddle out a barrel of pickles, and he placed a large table-fork In his hip pocket, to be used In his work. The horses ran away, Mr. Fallls was thrown out, and the fork was driven Into his body, causing fital Injuries.

D. H. Davey, of Chicago, registered as a guest at the Sherwood house, In Evansvllle, and was taken sick. He made a call on a clairvoyant, but Ills Illness Increased, and he died Sunday nlpht.of alcoholism. Yesterday his nephew arrived at Evansvllle and claimed that deceased should have $1,000 with him, but only $4.30 was found In his possession.

The German building, loan and savings association, of Evansvllle. was organized In 1880, and It was conducted on the "premium" plan of building associations. After nine years'experience, the directors And themselves embarrassed, having discovered that the profits disbursed at the beginning of the association were greater than the earnings warranted, and that the present assets will not pay more than 70 per cent, of liabilities. The association will be closed up.

THE CONFESSION OP FAITH. "S*

A Revision is Asked ly Fifteen Presbyteries—Other Matters Considered. NF-.W YORK, May 22.—The attendance was larger to-day at the meeting of the Presbyterian general assembly. The report of the committee on fraternal cooperation in christian work was presented by the Rev. Dr.

Smith. It dealt with

their operation in church work between the Northern and Southern churches. A minority report, signed by Judge S. M. Breckenridge, was said to have been prepared, but was not presented the whole matter was put over until Thursday next.

The Rev. Dr. Thompson, chairman of the committee on bills and overtures, reported that the committee had received overtures from fifteen Presbyteries asking that revisions be made in the articles of the confession of faith. In the opinion of the committee it was considered best that such request-, coming troifi'so rflany Presbyteries, should not be ignored, yet the committee thought that neither they nor the assembly should take action on the matter at the present time.

They suggested that a communication be addressed to each one of the Presbyteries undpr control of the general assembly asking them if they desired a revision of the confession, and if so, to what extent. The matter was made a special order for Friday afternoon next.

The Rev. Dr. Stryker then presented the report of the board of foreign missions. It showed that the total number of missionaries, male and female, was 502. The work among the Chinese in this country has progressed favorably during the year. Though the total receipts of the year amounted to $847,492, they have fallen short of those of the previous year by $53,087. The women's board has contributed S278.904. In the falling off in resources the churches are behind $20,000 the women's board $17,000 and the Sabbath school $12,000. Owing to certain payments needed to meet a readadjustment of methods in reckoning the board's financial committee, the total shortages rises to S46,096. This haB been temporarily sustained by drawing upon a contingent reserve fund of some seventy-seven thousand dollare, which must be made good. This year th9 estimates for the field are 31,018,000. This amount has, however, been cut down to $850,000

THE TERRE HAUTE KXPRESSSTHUKSDAY MORNING/MAY 23, 1889.4

TH* ISO* PENALTY.'

A Writer, la American Tribune R®pltM to th« Oasatte.

The following is from a recent issue of the American Tribune: In the miasmatic atmosphere of the raging W abash there lives a little man who publishes a little paper called the "Terre Haute Gazette," who, in a recent issue of his littie paper, disgorged himself as follows:.

Considering tt» penalty we (the italics ai» ours) for tne prl it is most devoutly to be hoped ma* trouble will be compromised. Should we so sailing in Samoan sea*, mixing up In a family quarrel among a lot of semi-savages, some sally might get his feet wet. eatch cold and land dn ourtaxpajlng grandchildren, a century hence, a widow. She Is not awtdawnow. In tact ahe ts not yet born, and won't be for half a century, but she will be born eventually, and she will wed our bold sal or lad when he gets to a ripe old age. and there you are. Don't lets light lets apologze Hrst.

There now, our sympathies go put for that poor, little, frightened Gazette man. Why, bless you, little man, you are not the first of your locality who has scented the battle afar,-who, in the anguish of his soul cried out "Don't lets fight lets apologize lets eat dirt lets crawl on our bellies and lick the toe of him that kicks us lets tear down the flag and stamp it in the dust and apologize for having a flag: anything, only, for God's sake, don lets'fight lets compromise, for there is BO many ignorant and deluded people BO puffed up with that foolish sentiment they call patriotism that they will fight, though I, they know they will get hurt ant£ some of them 'kilt entirely,' and they^who a^e maimed and the widows and tfependent onee of those, who are 'kilt' will be calling dn ojur poor brdken down, bflfi^jupt government for a pension. XVhy^^just think of the thousands of worthless scalawags and coffee coolers who are draining millions of dollars each year from the government treasury. It is true they saved the nation. It is true that only for them there would be .'no Uncle Sam, neither would we have any daddy dollars in his wallet, and the present peace and prosperity of the country would be unknown, and, moreover, there would be no little Terre Haute Gazette published amidst the swamps and miasm of the Wabash, only for the men who didn't apologize and compromise, but blarat him for these few little things he helped to procure he wants a pension. "Well, don't get frightened, little man, there'll be no draft ordered, even if there should be 8 scrimmage with Samoa, hence you'll escape—neither vex your soul with the thought of Hhe heavy "penalty in pensions" that will fall on your great grand children. They'll feel it as little then as you do now."

THE INDIES WILL NOT SIGN.

Tliey Hold a Coiftacll and Agree Not to Accept a Treaty. CHICAGO, May 32.—A special dispatch from Standing Rj?ck, Dakota, says:

The Indians jpbre held a big council Sunday, and alifagreed not to sign the treaty unless pfud $11,OOQ,OQO for their land. They feej| hurt at the way the government is treating them in regard to the treaties afel8G7 and 1876, and they are really getting no more now than those treaties c&Ued for.

The bill giv#I R9d Cloud $28,000 for horses taken flip hit* by the government in 1876. Ke Standing Rock Indians lost three liBrses to their one, and could get nothing for them. The commission will go^ko the Rid Cloud and Spotted Tail affiheies first, while the Indians are sood humor over Red Cloud utfrarafelT the large sum ot money, and it is probable that over three-fourths of the males there will sign.

Close to the Mud Line.

Her name was Fanny Davenport, and she was supposed to be better than the great majority of the actresses on the American stage. She married her leading man, Mr. Price. She lived with him two years. She got a new leading man, a Mr. McDowell. Her husband became jealous. She denied that there was any cause for it. Husband and wife quarreled. .-She procured a divorce. Now she has married McDowell. Miss Fanny Davenport has struck the common level of the stage at last. The common level of the stage seems very close to the mud line at present.—[Chicago Times.

A Duel in a Land Office.

PARIS, Tex., May 22.—J. F. O wnby, a lawyer, and Richard Moore, a reckless young man, fought a duel at short range in Ownby's office, Monday, without doing much damage. Moore was arrested, and yesterday, while going to court for preliminary examination, he was 6hot and killed by Ownby. The murder was of a cowardly character. Ownby stationed himself at a court-room window and when Moore appeared in charge of officers he riddled his body with buckshot. Moore's brothers threaten to kill Ownby on sight.

"Old Hutch" and "Old Prob." Wheat declined another half cent in Chicago yesterday—not through the influence of further fine weather reports, but by the scheming of a crafty manipulator fondly called "Old Hutch." In market affairs "Old Hutch" is frequently more potent than "Old Probabilities," but in one respect the latter has a great advantage, and that is in lasting qualities.—[Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.

A Good Point for California Wines. California wines are said to be improved by a sea voyage, though the reverse is true of French wines. Some San Francisco connoisseurs tested several casks of the California product that had been through the tropics four times and twice around Cape Horn, and decided that it waB better than casks of the B#me vintage that had remained at home in the cellar.

They Want Soinv of the Good Pickings. Cleveland teamsters are excited about Canadian drivers that come across the border with their horses during the summer to work at reduced prices. The Canadian tendency to step over into this tariff-ridden country to pick up a job at cut rates is one of the things the freetraders have not yet happily touched up in a maxim.—[Commercial-Gazette, A*

THE CARTER DIVORCE CASE VERDICT.

The Jury FJnda Against the Wife and for the Husband. CHICAGO,May 22.—The notable divorce case of Carter versus Carter, which has been on trial for several weeks in the circuit court before Judge Jamieeon, was finished this merning at 9:30 o'clock, when the jury came in with its verdict. Tbe suit was brought by Mrs. Leslie Carter, who charged her busband with unnameable offenses. Mr. Carter filtd a cross-bill charging his wife with adultery. The prominence of the parties, the unusual tea lty of Mr?. Carter and other matters unusual in such a hearing made it a celebrated case, and the courtroom has been crowded since the trial began. During its progress the testimony took the listeners in imagination over a good part of Europe gave them glimpseB of the royal prodigality with which Mrs. Carter lavished money on personal adornments and equipages, though her husband was by no means a rich man traced the payment to her of several large checks drawn by a prominent merchant of New York made evident her friendship for handsome Kyrle Belle, the actor, touched upon her relations with her physician, and, in short, developed a series of sensations to satisfy the expectations of the mcjet pruriently inclined. The' arguments were completed yesterday afternoon and the casQ was given to the jury. At the opening of court this morning it was announced that an agreement had been reached. The verdict when announced was to the effect that Mrs. Carter was guilty of adultery, as charged in the cross bill, and that Mr. Carter was not guilty of the charges preferred against him in his wife's bill.

Neither Mr. nor Mrs. Carter was present when the verdict was announced. The effect of this verdict will be to give Mr. Carter a divorce, and the custody of their child. Mrs. Carter's attorney prayed an appeal, and argument on his motion will be heard later.

'ANNIS CAME OUT OF THE WEST. L'

Her Family Had Believed Her in the Grave 'for Two Years. PITTSBURG, May 22.—A special from Franklin, Pa., says: "While our citizens are still trying to solve the mystery of the death of pretty Mary Tobin, another sensation was created to-day by the arrival in the city of Miss Annie Griffiths. Two years ago the relatives of Miss Griffiths in this city, received a dispatch giving an account of Annie's death by foul means in Kansas. The dead body of a woman was found in Kansas City in whose dress pocket was found a letter addressed to Miss Annie Griffiths, Franklin, PA., and whose cuffs were marked with that lady's initails. As Miss Griffiths was in the West her friends telegraphed on to have the remains sent here, but they had already been buried and it was thought best not to disturb them. For over two years Annie has been mourned as dead, and the sensation she created among her relatives by suddenly appearing before them can be better" imagined than described. But she is here just the same, and is at a loss to account for the finding of the letter in the pocket of the dead woman, and don't give much account of herself, only saying she has been in the West.

PlLVtBlZEl) COiL AS FUEL.

Successful Experiments Made in Pittsburg Iron Works by a New Process. PITTSBURG, May 22.—The interest felt here in cheap fuel is intensified by the experiments now going on at the establishment of Moorhead fc Bro., by which pulverized coal is brought into actual competition with the process controlled by Erastus Wiman, of New York. It has been running for a week at these works with remarkable results. It is claimed that 4,600 pounds of iron were drawn in an hour with a charge of 700 pounds of coal, which is alleged to be the cheapest run ever made, because the refuse coal which is used costs loss than fifty cents per ton. A public test is to be made on the 27th, at which Mr. Wiman and his associates are to be present.

The Vlcksbiirg Veterans.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 22.—The national association of veterans of the Vicksburg campaign is holding its first annual meeting here to-day. Governor Hovey, of Indiana, is president. May 22d is the date fixed upon for the annual gathering, as it is the anniversary of the most determined assault that General Grant made upon the Vicksburg fortifications. Grant's army was composed of men from Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and Ken'tucky, and veterans from all these states are in attendance on the meeting. One object of the association is to secure the recognition of the Vicksburg campaign as the greatest of the civil war.

No Funny Editing Wanted ill Japan.

The plan is to go into effect on the 1st of July, and after that date per cent, of the profits of the mills will be divided among the employes.

Lightning Twisted His Neck. A boy named Burtt, living on Wylie avenue, was the victim of a queer accident during Friday's storm.
