We are glad we elected the president lirst.

i, The Virginia bourbon election methods will have a tfood effect toward a national election law.

The darn fool Democrats thought it was a presidential election and turned out a full vote.

Indianapolis is not the only place where Kepublicans staid at borne elec tion day this year.

The supreme court has decided that the law againbt piping natural gas out of the state ia unconstitutional. It was also nonsensical.

What is the purpose of tue LI o'clock unci Sunday resolution is the ijuestion a great many persons are asking. No one expects to see it enforced.

A colored stump speaker once said that the good Lord often held his beloved children over the bottomless pit just to scare them. The Republicans have not dropped out of sight they have been held over the pit.

The persistence of the (inzette in ignoring the gravel pit suit, which it said was to the brought, and the Xews in ignoring the tarilT question, which it eaid was of great interest to the people, fur nishes a good illustration of the pitfalls of so-called independent journalism.

In Virginia the Republican party was 20,000 in the majority and wanted to cast and have its vote counted but bourbon election machinery prevented. In Ohio and Iowa the Republican party was 110,000 and 40,000 in the majority, but did not want to cast and have its vote counted.

The New York World commenting on the action of the Terre llaute liquor dealers' association in electing ice President Morton an honorary member, says "the sad feature of this joke is that Mr. Morton denies that he ever asked for or obtained a liquor license for his Washington hotel." And, this morning it is denied that there is a bar in his Washington hotel. All things considered we thiiik the liquor dealers have made a mess of it and suspect that they themselves are now very much of that opinion.

THE ELECTION.

Mr. Ilalford gets at the inwardness of the election in the interview with him published this morning. There was no general issue, no national question involved in the elections in the various slates. Iowa and Ohio were lost to the party on matters of state interest solely, and we doubt if any thinking Democrat will say that either of those states would not vote for a Republican for president next week if a presidential election were to be held then.

In both Iowa and Ohio the fanaticism of the*lemperauce element brought the natural reaction. The pendulum swung back as it will swing to prohibition extreme wlieu free whisky holds sway for a while. The Republican party is un doubtedly the party of temperance but what we learu from Iowa we learned from Pennsylvania, Massachusetts. Rhode Island and Connecticut this year, that the iarty will not uphold prohibition.

A LIGHT HOUSE ROMANCE.

Theirs had been a romantic meeting. Hester Ingraham was a light-house keeper's daughter, and one stormy night, while her father was away on an inland trip, she and her brother Joe watched and tended the light.

During the height of the storm a yacht was seen off the rocks a moment more and it had disappeared beneath a mountainous wave. Joe and Hester ran down to the edge of the reef, and soon discovered a form struggling in the waters, at last washed up on the frowning rocks at their feet.

By careful nursing Mark Eccleston, as they found the stranger was named, was nursed back to life, but it was many weeks before he was able to walk on the rocks alone. To a man of the world like him there was something so fresh and charming about the lighthouse keeper's daughter that he soon found himself deeply in love with her. Many were the excuses he made to linger at that deserted place, and one day meeting Hester alone he told her how much he loved her and asked her to be his wife. She looked at him wonderingly and gently tried to withdraw her hand from his. '•Do not say any more, Mr. Eccleston I can not be your wife."

He oniy clasped it tighter. "Hester," he cried, "I thought that I was not an object of indifference to you Can it be that I have deceived myself?'

The girl trembled and her eyes lowered themselves beneath the Bhade of their long dark lashes.

With a sudden motion he drew her to him and forced her gaze to meet his. In that moment he read the truth his love was returned.

Vet still once more she repeated: can not be your wife." And this he learned the reason why—that, though she could not deny that she cared for him, she felt that in the world's eye she was not his equal. "If I married you," she persisted in an ewer to his.pleadings," "the time might co.me when you would repent."

And in the end Mark was obliged to be content with her decision, supplemented as it were by her old father's approval, and if that after two years' time, during which no communication should pass between them, he should return and still desire her for his wife, Bhe would not then say no.

The two years glided awr.y and found Hester Ingraham more lovely than ever. Patiently and assiduously the girl had studied to improve her education, and with an active intellect and love for the taskmaster it was no wonder that each day saw a rapid advancement.

Now truly, though a prince were the wooer, he might have been proud to call Hester Ingraham wife.

The time of probation was ended, but the days flitted by and yet Mark did not return. At length, with a heart filled with a keen pain, the girl was forced to acknowledge to herself that her lover had forgotten her, that his affection had not been strong enough to outlast the test she herself had imposed. Time went by, and to add to her burden of sorrow her old father was taken sick and died, leaving her brother and herself orphans, alone and friendlees.

But Mark—where was he'" The day which was to have seen him by his love's side, found him lying in a darkened room, delirious with a fever. Months dragged along, and finally, after a hard struggle, the fever was worsted, and for the second time Mark Eccleston came back from the gate of death. Then as soon as he was 6trong enough, with a heart as loyal as when he parted with her, he repaired to Hester's house only to lind her gone—where, no one could teil.

The end of a year again saw him in America. The lirst'Sunday after his return he accepted an invitation from a friend to attend his church in the morning and to return with him to dine.

The service was almost over and the collection was being taken up, when suddenly it seemed to Mark that the heavens must have opened and an Bngel descended therefrom, of such unusual— almost more than mortal—sweetness was the voice which sang the exquisite air, "1 Know that My Redeemer Livetb." "Vou will meet our soprano at diuner to-day," said his friend as they walked leisurely homeward. "She is a great friend of my wife."

Ah! little did Mark know what a sur prise awaited him or his steps would surely have been less deliberate. "Miss Ingraham, my friend, Mr. Ec clest.on."

With a bewildered start Mark gazed upon the face before him. Could it be possible that this was the Hester that he had parted from forever, the fearless daughter of the sea. ignorant of the world and its ways, with all her artless soul shiniug out of her eyes —this stately, self-possessed woman?

Their eyes met, and at once it was clear between them, beyond ne6d for words, that the same undying love burned in each heart. Springing to her side, unheedful of his friend's surprised looks, Mark grasped her hand. "At last! at last! we meet again!"

When Mark had explained how it waa that, at the appointed time-when he would have Mown to her side, he, lay sick and unconscious, Hester in her turn, related how it was he met her thus, earning her own living by her voice in a city far distant from her island home. She told how, soon after her father's death, her brother and herself had been found out and taken to his home by a wealthy uncle who had only lately learned of his brother's whereabouts, having parted from him in boyhood, each going his own way to seek for fortune how, learning that her voice was considered line, she had ap plied herself to its cultivation, desiring above all things to be independent. "Hester." said her lover,. after a few days had passed since their reunion, "do you not think my probation has been long enough?"

A iittle lat?r to the island lighthouse came a newly married couple, who had returned in the tirst, glow of their wedded bliss to revisit the scenes in which they had met and learned to love each other.—| Milwaukee Journal.

TRIAL OF CRONIN SUSPECTS-

The He*riiiK of tlie State's Kvidence Ke*uiiiel Yesterday.

Chicago, November 0. —Robert TStanton, printer, of Lakeview, was the tirst witness in the Cronin case this morning. He testified that he had printed a lot of business cards for defendant, Patrick O'Sullivan, which he delivered to O'Sullivan on May 2, two days before Dr. Cronin was murdered. The witness was then shown a card and he identified it as similar to those which he had printed.

The evident object was to show that it was one of this lot of cards which was shown to Dr. Cronin on the night of May 4, when he was lured away to his death. ...

Captain Francis Villiere, ex-chief of police of the town of Lakeview, was then recalled, and, with a chart of the streets around the Carlson' cottage and all over Lakeview and Edgewater, testified with great detail as to the distances, condition of the road, etc. On the

croBs-examination

Mr. Forrest asked

him—Could a wagon drive along Fiftyninth street to the lake all right—a wagon, for example, loaded with one trunk and three big men—

Mr. Ilynes (interrupting)—Four big men, one in the trunk. [Sensation

Captain F. II. Wing, of the Likeview police, who succeeded Captain Villiere, and who accompanied Oflicer Phillips on the trip when the trunk was brought in, was the next witness. H6 also testified to receiving a key from another policeman which fitted the lock of the trunk. On oue eud of it was some yellowish paint. The relevancy of this, yet to be shown, is that it is Lhe key found in the Carlson cottage, and that the paint on it is the same as the paint on the cottage lloor. The witness also described the interior appearance of tho Carlson cot tage in substantially the 8ani9 way as previous witnesses have done.

Police Oflicer George Hiatt.of the Chicago force, testified that on the day following the discovery of Dr. Cronin's body he and Otlicer Lorch made a careful search of the Carlson cottage. He identilied the paint smeared key as one found by himself and Lorch in the cottage aud added that he subsequently saw Captain Schuettler, of the Chicago police, fit it into the lock of the bloody trunk, which it readily unlocked. William L. James, a lad of Hi years, who is learning stenography, testified that in February last he occupied a room in the Opera Houe« block, overlooking the upper flat at 117 Clark street. In that month he often saw two men in those rooms. He identified the prisoner, Kunze, as one of .them. Kunza was washiug his feet and as soon as he discovered that the witness was looking at him, he pulled down the blind

Dri.t'ii, November ti.—There was exposed to-day the details of a gigantic real estate fraud perpetrated by swindlers of Minneapolis and Indiana. The victims are very numerous, and mostly person living in Minneapolis and the southern part of Minnesota, Iowa and Indiana. A division nine miles from this city where land is worth sixteen dollars per acre, was platted and given a similar name to that of a valuable division inside the city. Over £337,000 worth of transfers, many of them of course fictitious, were recorded, some of them coday.

THE TERRE HAUTE EXPRESS, THURSDAY MORNING, NOVKMBEK 7, 1889.

1

Mr. Forrest—Ah, yee. Witness—Ves, sir, the wagon could go along there. The witness then continued his story, and eaid that on Sunday noon, May 5ib, a trunk in which he found cotton batting and paper, and a lock of hair, was brought to the police station. At this point the state's attorney invited the witness to come down and inspect the insioe of the trunk, and the lid being lifted, its blood besmeared interior was once more exposed to the curious gaze. ,, "Vou may look inside of it, said Mr. Longenecker, and the witness bent over and carefully inspected the interior of the bloody box. After a careful inspection he said: "All that cotton was not in there, only about a third of it?"

The policeman who brought in the trunk delivered with it also a lock of hair, one end of which was clotted with blood. This and the trunk were turned over to the witness' successor, Captain Wing. The cross examination did not shake the testimony of the chief.

Herman Theel, saloonkeeper, testified that early in the morning of May "jth, in company with two friends, he drove through Evanston avenue, Lakeview. They discovered a trunk which had been broken open, lying in a ditch by the roadside. It contained cotton batting, clotted with blood. He and his friends drew it out of the ditch and placed it on the edge of the street. Witness identified the blood stained trunk in the court-room as the one to which he re ferred.

Herman l'ausee and Carl Knopf, who were with Theel when the trunk was discovered, corroborated that "witness' testimony without adding any material points.

At the opening of the afternoon session Job Phillips, one of the Lakeview policemen sent out to bring in the trunk after its discovery, was put on the stand, and told of the contents of the trunk as he had found therm on arrival at the place where it was lying, on Evanston avenue. His diecription agreed with that of former witnesses. He found some hair ia the trunk. He took a portion of it and delivered it to Captain Villiers and Policeman Malia, who was with him, took the remainder. The witness identilied the trunk in the court-room as the one he had assisted in removing from Evanston avenue to the police station on that occasion. The witness also took from the catch-basin in which Dr. Cro nin's body was found, a lot of cotton batting, which he put into a pail. He here identilied the pail and the muddy and bloody batting. On the 2:J aud 24th of May, the witness went to O'Sullivan's house to arrest him. While there, O'Sullivan, louking toward the Carlson cottage, saw a number of people going into it, and said: "What in hell ate they going in there for, the damn fools."

Tlie Story of a Bmve Little Woman's Fortitude.

XI:w YORK, November 6.—A thrilling tale of ship-wreck, involving the heroism of a brave little woman, was brought to the city yesterday on the steamer Atalianta, which is in the West Indian fruit trade. The victims were Captain E. S. Ethridge and his brave wife, of the American schooner Spotless, and the skipper and five sailors of the Belle of the Bay. Both' vessels were wrecked in the same storm, within ten miles of each other, and the two crews were picked up by Captain Cook, of the Atalianta, October 25, within an hour of each other. It was on his outward trip to Jamaica, and after carrying the ship-wrecked people to Montego bay he brought them to this port.

The rescue was a most gallant one, having been made while the hurricane was still at its height. While the Spotless was fast going to pieces, the wife of Captain Ethridge was urging her husband and the sailors not to abandon the ship. The crew were lashed to the pumps and were weak and exhausted, and Mrs. Ethridge, wrapped in au oil cloth suit of her husband'e, walked the deck of the sinking vessel, carrying food and drink to the men. When her husband failed from weakness she begged to be allowed to take his place, but the sailors redoubled their efforts and re fused to permit her to do so. The hero ine of the story declined to talk of her experiences, but those with whom she worked were loud in their praise of her bravery.

The Spotless sailed October lo from Savannah for Baltimore with a deck load of lumber. Just north of Hatteras she was struck by a terrific southeast huriicane, which soon centered around to the northeast. The schooner was hugging the coast and attempted to haul off shore, but in doing so lost her spanker, foresail and jib. Then a big sea threw the vessel almost on her beam ends, and before she was righted the foretop mast broke off'. Tne heavy seas next carried away the boats and caused the vessel to spring a leak. All the next day the men labored at the pumps, and on the d«y following, weak, swollen and bruised, they would have given up in despair but for "the captain's wife.

She found a few potatoes, and, v. ith the aid of an oil stove saved from the ruins, she cooked them. While Mrs. Ethridge was cooking this last morsel of food the vessel was rolling and she had to recline on a sofa and hold the stove in place. That morning a steamer passed close, but without seeing the schooner. At -1 o'clock in the afternoon, led by Mrs. Ethridge, all left the cabin and were going to

Beek

refuge in the

rigging when the Atalianta was sighted. Their rescue quickly followed, but not without great peril. An hour later the Atalianta saw another vessel flying distress signals.

It was the brig Belle of the Biy, almost water-logged. Her captain and crew had been clinging, to the main chains for over twenty-four hours, and could hardly have held out much longer. The Belle of the Bay was bound from Fern8Hdina for Philadelphia.

AS MAY BE PIPF OUT.

Tlie Supreme Court Finds the New Law Unconstitutional.

In an opinion prepared by Chief Justice Elliott, of the supreme court, and concurred in by all the judges, it is held that the act of the last legislature pro. hibiting the transportation of natural gas from .the state is unconstitutional. It is held that naltn-al gas may become a commercial commodity, acd that the state legislature can not enact any law regulating commerce between the states, for the reason that the federal constitution forbids the states from legislating on that subject. In the course of the opinion it is said: "Property that may become an article of commerce cannot be kept in the state where it is produced by a state law forbidding its transportation. If this were not so, then not only might coal and petroleum be kept within the state in which it is produced, but so might corn and wheat, cotton and fruit, lead and iron. If such laws could be enacted and enforced, a complete annihilation of interstate commerce might result, and it was to prevent the possibility of such a result that the provision vesting exclusive power in the federal government was written in the national constituti""."

The court finda that ti act is not simply a police regulation, but that it assumes to absolutely prohibit the conveyance of netroleum or natural gas into another Btate. On this point the opinion says, among other things, that "the act does got assume to provide for the safety, health or comfort of the citizens, but its object is to prevent the sinking of gas wells and the laying of pipe lines by persons who desire to convey gas out of the state. The act is in effect, as it is in words, a legislative prohibition di rected solely against a designated class of persons. It is not the mode of trans portation against which the prohibition is directed, but the persons who engage in the business."

It is also held that the act is complete on itself and is not an attempt to regu late the right to appropriate private property for a public use, but that it is an act assuming to prohibit any person, natural or artificial, from transporting gas out of IndianB.

The law thu6 effectually disposed of hBS had a brief and tempestuous existence. When first passed the governor refused to sign it—ridiculed it, in fact, aud made sub3tantally the same argument that the court makes. Howover, there was a demand for restriction, if it could be had, and the legislature passed the bill over the governor's veto, the R-»-publicans from the gas belt joining forces with the Democracy.

Natural gas is esteemed such a luxury that its use is accompanied with the fear that it may not last. The home gap companies hoped that the court could give the law some standing by holding that foreigners might not condemn the right of way over which to pipe gas. This was their strong hope, but it comes to naught. Many' of the points made by the court were conceded. The case came up on appeal from Jay county the opinion sustaining the decision of the court below.
