FLOOD TALK.

When the Hood came yesterday as it never came upon the city of Terre Haute and filled nearly all the streets with a volume of water, so suddenly that nothing but a mountainous declivity would have prevented overflows into cellars, the Main street sewer advocates came to the front, that is to the sidewalks when the flood was over and enjoyed themselves with I-told-you-so unction. Not one of them considered the fact that the flood was in all streets, out in the outskirts and everywhere that aMain street sewer or a dozen other sewers could not have prevented.

But, let us admit that aMain street sewer would have saved the property owners along that street from the overflow. How are you going to build the sewer Employes of the city to-day are selling the warrants for their pay at 10 per cent, discount. The city can not •borrow money to pay its current expenses. IIow can it build sewers and pave the streets?

THE EXPRESS has suggested one way by which this can be accomplished. A saloon license of 8250 ayear and a reduction of the city's expense bill of §25,000 would soon make it possible to build sewers and lay new pavements. But, if you haven't the money to make these improvements you can't make them. Nothing is easier and sillier than to decry the condition of Main street just as it is foolish for the individual who makes no effort either to increase his income or decrease his expenses to insist that he ought to own a palace as a place of residence. No one claims that Main street is what it should be, but you can't have everything you want in this world for the mere asking.

EXCHANGE ECHOES.

Brooklyn Union: When anything comes along -affecting Ills department In any way, you can depend upon Brother Blaine being up and dressed.

Columbus Press: Sullivan and Kllraln seem to have chosen the right state to tight In. We are conceited enough to think that If the governor of Ohio had issued a proclamation to these men notifying them that they could not light In the state, they would not have fought here.

Mall and Express: it Is well for the American people to bear In mind the fact that the Democratic murderers of John M. Clayton, of Arkansjis, are still at large, and that Clifton R. Breckinridge still shamelessly holds the seat which, without doubt, rightfully belonged to his assassinated rival. When congress again meets this matter should be probed to the bottom. -Meanwhile let the people keep the facts In mind.

Chicago Inter-Ocean: The secret league business is likely to be at low-tide mark for many years to come. American clttzenshlp Is no more compatible with blind allegiance to any "chief' or ••center" or "head" or "triangle" than It Is with allegiance to any foreign potentate or prince. Openly expressed sympathy with constitutional «trorts toward a liberal form of government In Ireland, or In any other country, Is laudable, and -so is the contribution of funds In support of such constitutional efforts, but allegiance to a secret league which plots acts of violence against a foreign power, sends messengers abroad to execute them, and decrees and executes sentence of murder upon -American citizens who are obnoxious to the chiefs --of the league. Is a violation of the spirit of the

Oath of citizenship. And, so far as Irish affairs In Ireland are concerned, the clans and leagues have worked infinite mischief. No system of murder has ever freed a country from a foreign yoke. It any body of Irishmen could succeed In blowing up Windsor castle and the British house of parliament to-morrow the cause of home rule tor Ireland would be delayed for half a century at lea8t.

SUPEI NATURAL IN CRIME.

Lav rep te of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries contain numerous referen

which

quaint

room

to supernatural occur

rences in cotrt and on the scaffold. One of the moet Remarkable records of this kind is connected with a murder trial

took place in England early in the reign of the first Charles. Sir John Maynard, one of the first lawyers of the century, is the authority for the supernatural events of the trial, and in his

preface to his notes he says he

"thought good to report the evidence

was given, which many did hear, that the memory thereof might not be lost by miscarriage of papers or otherwise." One Johan Norkett, a farmer's wife, had died, and at the coroner's 'quest evidence was given •roving that the woman's throat had been cut from ear to ear. At first the jury favored a verdict of felo de se, and the body was interred. But rumors became general pointing to foul play and the body was exhumed. Thirty days after the death the jury assembled before the body and four suspected persons were brought in. The only evidence against the prisoners was that they had slept in an adjoining room and that no one had passed through that

which

"therefore, if she did not murder herself, they must be the murderers." What took place at the remarkable postmortem inquiry may best be described in the words of

witness at the subse

quent trial, who was deacribed as "an ancient and grave person, minister to the parish where this murder was committed." This estimable gentleman said: "They (the prisoners) did touch the dead body, whereupon the brow of the dead, which was before

carrion color, began to have

livid and

dew or gen

tle sweatjarise upon it, which increased by degrees till the sweat ran down in drops upon the face, the brow turned and changed to a lively color, and the dead opened and shut one ot her eyes, and shut it again, which she did several times. She likewise thrust out the ring or marriage finger three times and pulled it in again, and the finger dropped blood on the ground."

Naturally enough such remarkable evidence as this was received with some suspicion by the court, although the witness, to again quote

Sir John Maynard,

"was a reverend person, about 70 years of age, as could be guessed. His testimony was delivered gravely and temperately, but to the great admiration of the auditory." Ample confirmation of an obviously impartial character was, however, forthcoming, and the "admiration" changed to horror, so much so that the prisoners were convicted, and two of them suffered death at the hand of the common hangman. Neither of the victims, one of whom was an aged woman, could ever be prevailed upon to confess any complicity in the crime.

Early in the eighteenth century a man named Smith was convicted at the York assizes of house-breaking, and sentenced, with many others, to be hanged. The evidence against the accused was very unsatisfactory, and would not have secured

detention for an hour in this

more enlightened and merciful age. Smith was promised a commutation if he would confess, but he continued to protest his innocence. He was hanged for fifteen minutes, when he was cut down. He soon recovered, "in consequence of bleeding and other applications," and lived several years. His account of his glimpses into eternity is thus reported by reputable eye and ear witnesses: "When he was turned off he for some time was sensible of very great pain, occasioned by the weight of his body, and felt his spirits in a strange commotion, violently pressing upward that, having forced their way to nis head he, as it were, saw a great blaze of glaring light, which seemed to go out at his eyes with a flash, and then he lost all Bens® of pain. That after he was cut down, and began to come to himself, the blood and spirits, forcing themselves into their former channels, put him by a sort of prioking or shooting to such intolerable pain that he could have wished those hanged who had cut him down."

In 1770 a man was arrested at Bordeaux, Prance, for highway robbery. A coach was dragging its weary way along the poor roads of the neighborhood when suddenly a man sprang out from behind a tree, and before the driver could recover his self-possession the horses had all been hamstrung. It was the work of a moment to hurl the driver from his seat and to terrify the passengers, three women and a boy, into submission. Every article of value in the vehicle was stolen, and the thief then disappeared. An alarm being given, a man named Henry Pouchard was arrested on suspicion. He was positively identified by the coachman and the passengers, and was speedily convicted. He begged to be allowed to call witnesses to prove an alibi, and averred that he was fifty mitea off when the robbery was conynttted. But no adjournment of any kind was granted, and death on t^f wheel was the horrid sentence pronounced. Pouchard was fixed to the wfieel, which was set in motion, and one after another his limbs wew broken. There were many others 'lo be tortured to death, and the executioner was in a hurry. So as soon as he thought the man to be dead he loosed him and sent him to a surgeon of anatomy. The surgeon found that the bruised and broken masa before him still lived. He'exerted all his skill and restored Pouchard to comparative health, though an arm and a leg had to be amputated. Pouchard at once set about to prove his innocence, which he did to the satisfaction of the court, which rather stultified itself by granting him a pardon.

In 1751 an Irish murderer was convicted largely upon dream evidence. A Waterford publican, named Rogers, dreamad one night that he saw a man murder another man on a green spot on the summit of an adjoining mountain. He Was able next day to describe both men with perfect accuracy, and did so to many of his friends. One of the men was exceptionally strong, the other weak and puny, but it was the latter who in the

vision

committed the murder. Rogers

persuaded the parish priest to accompany him to the spot, which he found without difficulty, but where there seemed to be no traces of a murder or struggle. Hence, Rogers got rather laughed at. Next day, however, two men entered the saloon, and Mrs. Rogers at once recognized them from her husband's description as the heroes in the vision. Much alarmed, she fetched her husband, who was also certain they -were the two men. When they rose to leave Rogers begged the one he expected to be murdered to remain but without avail. He nearly fainted with fright after the men had left, and finally persuaded a neighbor to accompany him to the green spot on the hill, where, sure enough, the tragedy of the dream had taken place in reality. The murderers were tracked and caught and Rogers was toe principal witness. His recital of his dream was so vivid

were seen by Rogers in his vision, so the murderer admitted that he drove his knife up to the handle in hia companion's body exactly that number of times.

Indiana Now Haa School Book* of Her Own—Commission's Final Action.

After all, the common schools of Indiana are to be'fiupplied with some textbooks under the law enacted by the last legislature, says the Indianapolis News. That deciaion waa reached by the textbook commission at a private conference held last night, and announced this morning when the board convened in open session.

At 9 o'clock the members of the state board of education, who constituted the commission, gathered about the big, square table in the state superintendent's office, and they had hardly taken their seats until the anxious book agents from all parts of the country had formed an outer circle in the room, ready for the decision. The decision was not ready to be submitted, however, and after Governor Hovey had joined the commission, the room waa cleared in order to give the board an opportunity to formulate its report.

An hour later the doore were opened and the agents and other interested persons were invited in. Superintendent LaFollette stated that there was nothing before the board except the report from the committee of the whole. Professor Parsons, of the State Normal school, then produced a roll of manuscript, which he handed over to Secretary Jones to be read. The report was made up of six resolution?. The first declared |in favor of rejecting all manuscript's submitted, for the reason that the board had no funds with which to advertise for bids for the publication of books, the Attorney-General having held that only the $1,000 appropriated in the act was available for advertising purposes. Resolution No. 2 favored the acceptance of the bid|of the Indiana school book company to furnish geographies (elementary and complete), stating that the books proposed were fully equal in size and quality to the standards named in the law.

The third resolution favored the ac ceptance of the series of arithmetics proposed by the Indiana company, as the books reached the standard and as other proposition to furnish arithmetics was submitted. Resolution No. 4 declared in favor of awarding the contract to furnishing copy-books to the Bowen Merrill company of Indianapolis, the books they submitted being satisfactory and the bid being the lowest made.

The next resolution proposed the rejection of the spelling book offered by the Indiana school book company on the ground that it was not equal in size to the standard named in the law.

The sixth, and last resolution, favored the acceptance of the series of readers offered by the Indiana school book company, holding that the books were all up to the standard prescribed by the law.

The reading of the resolutions complete, Professor Parsons moved that they be voted on separately, and that the roll be called on each one. The members of the commission consented to the mode of procedure. Resolution No. 1, indefinetly postponing action on the manuscript books, was adopted unanimously. The second resolution, accepting the geographies of the Indiana company, received the vote of all the members except Superintendent La Follette, who voted in the negative, because he didn't believe the books were up to the standard. The next resolution, accepting the arithmetics of the Indiana company, was concurred in unanimously, as was also the fourth resolution accepting the copy books offered by the Bowen-Merrill company. All agreed to the fifth resolution rejecting the speller of the Indiana company, and all, except Mr. La Follette, supported the last resolution accepting the series of readers by the Indiana company.

The resolution accepting geographies stipulated that the Indiana school book company should comply with the promise in its bid to add a map of Indiana to the book, and to insert maps of the new states as soon as they are admitted. R. C. Bell, of Fort Wayne, attorney for the company, in a brief statement to the board said the company would keep every promise it had made, and comply with the law honestly and without any quibbling about technicalities. The company, he said, would be able to put the books adopted into the schools this fall, if it was desired. As the contract was one of some magnitude, he asked that the company be given at least 6ixty days to execute a bond and make other arrangements for completing the contract. At the conclusion of his remarks the board adjourned until 2 o'clock.

The board has now reached the end of its possibilities, and histories, grammars, physiologies and spellers are unprovided for. Under the decision of the attorney general it will be impossible to advertise for additional bids until the legislature has met again and made an appropriation to defray the expense of adververtising.

The board at its session this afternoon, is agreeing upon the details of the contract to be entered into with the successful bidders. Messrs. Parsons and Jones were appointed a committee to supervise the additions to be made to the geography.

The New P, O. Classification.':*'

The employes in the postoffice are anxious to know when the classification act, passed by the last congress, is to go into effect. The bill was passed March 2,1889, and was to have gone into effect July 1,1889,'but that date has come and gone, and it brought no classification with it. The Indianapolis office is not the only one in the state that will be affected by the new law, as it classifies and fixes the salaries of clerks in all first and second-class postoffices. It appropriates $300,000 to carry out the provisions of the act, and postoffice employes are naturally anxious that the money

Bhould

be distributed as

soon as possible. Postmaster Wallace thinks it will be another month before the law will be in force in the Indianapolis office. By the provisions of the bill the salary of ah assistant postmaster is placed at $1,500 instead of $1,700, a» heretofore, and the salaries of the chiefs of the money order and registry departments are each reduced $200.

The Coming Athlete.

If there were not a public pugilist or prizefighter in the land there would be no deterioration in physical training. It would go to the making of sound men and women. There will be no prizefighters joined to the faculties of schools and colleges. Neither Sullivan, nor Kilrain, nor Jackson, the negro from Australia, will be wanted at any respectable institution. The coming athletes may wrestle for the great prizes of the world, but they will make no contests in the fistic arena. They will subdue the wilderness, often mines, build towns and cities, make scientific discoveries, teach coming generations the value of sound minds in sound bodies, and. from first to last demonstrate that good morals and good taste are never separated from sound physical training.—[San Francisco Bulletin.

Hathlng In Mew England.

There is no place where more eccentric ideas of propriety are found than in New England. Take bathing as an illustration. At Crescent Beach and other popular resorts in the neighborhood of Bos ton, on any fine day, you will find plenty of female excursionists who are their own bath-houses, so to speak. That is to say, these fair but economical creatures bring long waterproofs with them, and putting them on, disrobe unobtrusively beneath them on the open beach. Beneath their ordinary clothing they usually wear their bathing suits down to the shore, and so are finally seen to emerge from the protecting mackin toshes fully equipped for a plunge into the ocean.—[Boston Correspondence New Orleans Picayune.

Bnngled the Game Law.

The enrolling and engrossing ciers of the late Illinois house of representatives defeated the intent of the game law. The house passed a bill making it lawful to kill prairie chickens after September 15. The senate amended the bill by substituting the 1st for the 15th of .Oeptember. The house concurred in this amendment. In enrolling the bill the clerk made the changed date apply to the killing of deer and wild turkeys instead of prairie chickens. As the law stands it is lawful to kill deer and turkeys after September 1, and prairie chickens after September 15.

Intelligent discontent is divine. By it everything worth having has been achieved. I wish I could light the flame of it in your breast. I am glad that I can not see a palace or a hovel, a millionaire or a tramp, a poor mother or a street walker, without being wrought into a fury of discomfort by the needless contrasts presented. And I exhort you to join the church of the Holy Discontent. That is a church in which I believe.—[The Rev. Hugh O, Pentecost.

The Baldwin locomotive works have just completed their 10,000th loomotive. And a huge engine it is, too, being onefourth heavier than the largest freight locomotive on the Pennsylvania railroad.

Five thousand of the 10,000 locomotives built by these works have been built during the last nine years.—[The Manufacturer.

The Parcels Post In Eng and.

The success of the parcels post in England is demonstrated by the fact that the number of parcels carried has increased from 1,000,000 the first year to 40,000,000 last year. The system has been extended to other nations, also, with satisfactory results and there is reason to believe that the United States would find it profitable to adopt the idea of exchanging parcels as well as letters by mail with England.

TW01N6 AGRMIST8,

In Whleh American Glrle at* to Ally ft—slws With Koblo Taaslllaa.

A cable dispatch from London announces that Miss Caroline Fitzgerald, of New York, is to be married to an English nobleman. The lucky man is lord Edward Fitzmaurioe, younger brother of the marquis of Lanraowne, formerly governor general of Canada, now viceroy to India. Miss Fitzgerald is a beauty of 21, and besides being a classical scholar, is a clever linguist. She became proficient in Sanscrit under Professor Whitney, of Yale.

She is among friends in England, where she haa been reeiding a year with the family of Robert Browning, the poet, During her stay in London she brought out a volume of poems that attracted considerable attention for their reason and merit. Lord Fitzmaurice is a young man of one of the oldest families in England, a direct descendant of the famoua Earl of Shelbourne, who was responsible for the successful negotiation of the Jay treaty.

The engagement is announced in Paris of Miss Gwendoline Caldwell to Prince Murat, a descendant of Marshal Murat, the dashing cavalry officer in the time of Napoleon, the First. Mica Caldwell may in a sense be considered the founder of the proposed Catholic university of America, now in course of erection at Washington, for while others have contributed largely, her offering of $200,000, and that of her sister, Miss Linda Caldwell, $50,000, set the work going at once. When in this country Miss Caldwell generally spends the summer at her handsoma home at Newport. MosTOf her time is spent, however, on the continent of Europe, and at preeent she is in Paris with her sister and Mrs. Donnelly, a near relative, who is their constant companion. Eugene Kelly and Charles M. Fry, president ot the bank of New York, are the trustees of the estate. Mr. Kelly received yesterday the following dispatch:

Paris, July a —Am engaged to Prince Murat hope for approval bave written. Gwendoline Caldwell.

Mr. Kelly immediately sent a reply which was also signed by Mr. Fry,. consenting to the arrangement and warmly congratulating their charge upon her choice of a husband. When asked if Miss Caldwell was obliged to seek the consent of the trustees, Mr. Kelly said he did not know of any such obligation, but assumed that Miss Caldwell herself deemed it an act of courtesy. Mr. Kelly is also a contributor to the new university, having given $5,000 and his wife $50,000 more to the building fund.

RETURN OF WALTER LAW

His Mission to Gladstone With IllinoisGreeting Performed and Appeciated.

Walter Law, the New York merchant who left for Liverpool on the steamer Trave on May 29, bearing the indorsement by the governor and legislature of the state of Illinois of the policy of the Liberal party and its grand old leader, William E. Gladstone, has reached home on the Bteamship Servia after fulfilling his pleasans mission. Mr. Law said that he lost no time after his arrival at London in waiting upon the grand old man. Circumstances intervened which prevented Mr. Law personally handing Mr. Gladstone the communication which reached him through the party whip, the member for Huddersfield. Mr. Gladstone acknowledged the receipt of the Illinois indorsement and best wishes in a happy letter to its bearer, whom he took occasion to assure how much pleasure it gave him to receive such marks of appreciation, which the party merited in their course toward the Bister iBle. This is the fourth indorsement of the same nature which Mr. Gladstone has received from this country, all having been received through the inBtrumentaliity of Mr. Law. The states which have sent these marks of appreciation of the policy pursued by the Liberal party are New York, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois.

He Was a False Trapplst.

MONTREAL, July 10.—A robbery toon place to-day within the walls of the monastery. A Frenchman, attired in the garments of a Trappist monk, claiming to have just arrived from abroad, entered the institution and asked for Father Gibbon, who at that time was ill and could not be seen. The Trappist order is highly esteemed by Catholics, and this man was received with open arms. He became intimate with Father Steward, of the Trappist establishment, who bad just disposed of $4,000 worth of butter and had deposited the money in his room. The stranger went quietly to this room, took the money and left. No trace of the thief can be found.

A Giant Diamond.

The giant diamond lately discovered in Cape Colony, and now at the Paris exposition, weighs 189 karats and is valued at 83,000,000. It is kept in a glass case by itself and guardians stand around it all day. At night it is placed in a big safe, which is similarly guarded all night. It is said to be of the first water, and as pure as the famous regent in the French crown diamonds. Itis forsale.and itis confidently expected that some Americanin homespun clothes and a slouch hat will come along one of these days and buy it as a pocket piece.
