LAFAYETTE TO HAVE FIGHT ABOUT BRIDGE.

Engineer Says Proposed Structure Will No More Stand Flood Than Old One.

The bridge question in Tippecanoe county, which was believed to .have been settled has again become a live question and it is possible that plhns for the concrete bridge to replace the damaged Main street bridge, which have been accepted by the board of county commissioners, may not be the plans for the bridge which will be erected. It has resolved into a fight between Profs. Hatt and Smith of Purdue. Everett Vawter of the board of engineers and Wallace Marshall, president of the Lafayette Engineering Company. Mr. Marshall says that the proposed Main street bridge would not have a much more free and unobstructed water’space than the present bridge, which failed to stand the high water of March.

Marshall says that he had three engineers at work measuring the old bridge and working out the difference betwee.i it and the proposed new bridge, and that the report submitted to him showed that the old bridge would carry’ free 18,434 cubic feet of water and that but 17,066 feet of cubic water would z pass under the new bridge. Marshall added that if the water should rise to the height of the flood of last spring the proposed bridge would be torn down without doubt. Vawter, spehklng for the Pudue engineers and himself, said that the new bridge will be absolutely safe and will carry free more water than has ever been seen in the Wabash River here. The county commissioners are up in the air and do not at present know what they will do.

Sun and Moon Figure In Three Eclipses Soon.

There will be three eclipses of the sun and moon during the months of August and September. On Aug. 31 there will be a partial eclipse of the sun, however, it will be of such short duration at this point that it will attract very little attention. Op Sept. 15 there will be a total eclipse of the moon, visible in all parts of the United States and will be a sight seldom witnessed in a century. On September 29? there will be a partial eclipse of the sun, visible in this locality. This gives us two eclipses of the sun within one month, or at two successive new moons, and an eclipse of the moon at the full moon which intervenes between the two eclipses of the sun.

OUTLOOK IN MEXICO GREATLY IMPROVED.

New Mexican Minister Of Foreign Relations Says That He Has Faith In Our Policy. *

Secretary Bryan is optimistic and official circles at Washington are relieved by a turn in the affairs in Mexico, where the new secretary of foreign relations, Frederico Gamboa, has issued a statement to the effect that he has great faith in the United States and its efforts to restore peace's!n that country and that he feels certain that the misunderstanding between the two countries will soon be adjusted. The safe arrival in Mexico of John Lind, the envoy of the administration, and the failure of the Mexicans to indulge in any antiAmerican demonstrations has exploded the reports of the tenseness of the situation, and Mr. Lind after arriving at Mexico City installed himself in the temporary offices of the U. S. embassy as official adviser to the American Charde d’affairs, Nelson O’Shaughnessy. Mr. Lind will hold conferences with Americans in his effort to inform himself and the state department of conditions there. The Huerta government has evidently decided that nothing can be gained by kicking over the traces. If the jjonstitutionalists continue their warfare, however, as seems probable, it will doubtless not be long until affairs there’ are just as grave as at any former time, even though the present crisis passes without serious consequences.

MONTICELLO TO PLAY ATHLETICS NEXT SUNDAY

Game To Take Place At Riverside Park.—Jim Downey’s Favorites ' To Clash With Locals.

For a time it looked as though the Athletics would have an idle day next Sunday, but Manager Kiplinger succeeded in getting hold of Jim Downey’s Favorites at Monticello and has scheduled them for the affray at Riverside Athletic Park. Monticello has not been playing much ball this year, but has a game with Idaville for Thursday and has secured the services of our pitcher, Howard Clark, for the contest. It is quite certain that Monticello will come here with a ball team made up from the best players in two or three towns, under the leadership of Jim Downey, the veteran of baseball in this section of the country, having played with the big teams when “Dad” Swartzell was wearing kilties. The game Sunday Will be the last at home for two weeks, in all probability, as the Athletics expect to play a game or two at other places, one of the games being with Monon during the gala week there.

Chautauqua Audience At Monticello Were Storm Bound.

The large audience at the Chautauqua tent Sunday evening was given a thrill that is not accorded to the average person more than once in a life time. That is passing through a record breaking rain storm under a tent. The rain beat upon the tent with so much force that the sound of the speaker’s voice was drowned out. You could scarcely hear your neighbor speakThe tent did not leak except where joined together over the speaker’s platform and around one or two poles but the’ water ran in from downflow outside and soon filled all low spots, making people stand up on the board seats or move to higher points of ground under the canvas. Today water had-.settled away but the lack of sunshine hindered the drying out of chairs, and of the ground so it would be safe to sit through a session.

GOVERNOR SULZER MAY BE IMPEACHED.

Frawley Report Advises It Alter Investigation Into Campaign Contributions. The Frawley committee which investigated the campaign contributions and their use in the election of Governor Sulzer, of New York, advises - that the governor be impeached. The report says that the use of the money was so serious in its character and so violative of the laws of the state that the governor should be removed from his office (Majority Leader Levy of the assembly announced • that he would introduce a resolution impeaching the governor “for willful and corrupt conduct in office and for high crimes and misdemeanors.” The conclusions of the report are that Governor Sulzer falsified underoath his campaign contribution account, diverted some of these contributions to the purchase of stock, speculated in stock at the time that, as governor, he was earnestly pressing legislation against the New York Stock Exchange*' punished legislators who. opposed him by vetoing their bills, traded executive approval of bills for support of his direct primary measure and did everything in his power to conceal proof and obstruct the Frawley committee’s efforts to bring it to light. The report also recommends the punishment of Louis A. Sarrakey, confidential secretary of the governor during the' campaign, and also Frederick L. Colwell alleged to have been the governor's representative in some of his stock transactions, for contempt when summoned before the committee.

Arrest Two For Murder Of Chicago Diamond Merchant.

Last December in Chicago a diamond merchant named Joseph H. Logue was murdered and his shop robbed. Now two men have been arrested for the job, the information that caused their arrest having been procured from a young lady who was the sweetheart of one of the men. The men are John Faith z and Charles Snyder. Snyder did the job, while Faith was an accomplice. Logue had his shop upstairs and Snyder went there to rob him. After covering Logue with his gun, he feared an outcry and fired, then plunged a knife into the merchant’s body and robbed the safe. Fearing that Logue might recover and be able to identify him he took a bottle of acid from his pocket and poured it into the eyes of the dead broker.
