The Old Output Restored.

ELWOOD, Ind., March 13.—Three El wood gas wells, which have been in use for eight years, and the output of which decreased to 7,000,000 cubic feet each per day, have just been drilled deeper into Trenton rock, and the original out put of 11,000,000 cubic feet each per day lias been resto'ed.

Homer atircoutea a protruding "eye to Juno.' He-called her the ox eyed Juno. The utility of shedding tears is to keep the eyes oool, though the balance of the head may be hot.

Eyes of any oolor with weak brows and long, concave lashes are indicative of a weak constitution.

Hannibal In one of Ills parly campaigns In Italy lost, an. eye, by having it struck with a branch of a thorn bush.

Tho iris of the eye Is rarely of one oolor, but commonly mottled with black, blue, orange, yellow, gray or.all combined.

It seldom bappenp .that both eyes are exactly alike. An examination with a magnifying glass usually discovers many differences between the two.

A red object Is not nearly so visible at a distance as one of white. A red globe a foot in diameter can be perceived clearly only at a distance of 8,000 feet and a blue globe a little farther.

Oysters are provided with eyes, but the oyster's eye is not located where public opinion places it. What is called the 03 0 of the oyster is tho great muscle which holds the shells together, and which is separated by tho knife of the opener.

FLORAL THOUGHTS.

Choose a fresh plant daily from tho window garden bloomers to place on the dining table.

For a constant blooming climber try manettia vine. Twine it whore it will get the sunshino.

The floral catalogues for 189G aro unusually fine. These long evenings givo timo for their study and tho delightful plans for next ycars's flower garden.

Heavy snow will bond down the small evergreen trees and the shrubbery outside. If not removed, it will become wot and heavier and jnay seriously damage the branches.

Now. that the days aro longer and the sun stronger jvith oach passing week the flowers aro quick to respond and to repay us for all the caro given them while they Were moping during the early winter.

It should bo remembered that tuberoses are very sensitive to frost. If the bulbs have been stored wbe.ro there Is ^danger of freezing, remove them to a frostproof cellar or where the temperature is as even as possible.

FORMING A COLONY THERI

They Expect to Be Able to Follow Their Old Order of Worship Without Outside Interference—An Epileptic Attacked by

Hogs—An Ex-Convict's Miserable Fate. Other Indiana State News. LOGANSPORT, Ind., March 13.—A. B. Peters of Cond}, N. D., is visiting Mexico, Flora, Denver and other points in Cass and Miami counties, which are settled by the religions sect styled Dunkards, or Brethren. Mr. Peters is an exceptionally intelligent member of this queer sect, and is working in the interest of the church in organizing a colony of people to accompany him to Con do, which place is settled entirely by Duukards.

A large number of people have already arranged to go, and are disposing of their property preparatory to starting on the 24tii of March. On that date Mr. Peters expects to leave Chicago at the head of 300 emigrants from the Dunkard settlements in this part of the state. Among the inducements offered are government lands, fine climate, excellent timber land, certainty of crops and a home where they can practice the religious beliefs of their church undi.-.-turbed by other denominations.

They indulge in many queer practices in their interpretation of the scriptures, anil have an instinctive horror of worldly frivolities. Owing to rhe surroundings of

t-'.iii

settlements in Indiana, how

ever, it lias proven a difficult matter to train their children according to the church doctrines, and a split in ti church resulted, one branch being known as the Progressive Dunkards and the other us the Old Order. A la rue number have, therefore, embraced the opportunity to join the colony for the purpose oc living in an atmosphere where their children will not be surrounded ey worldly influences.

ATTACKED

BY H03S.

An Epileptic Narrow!

Escapes lining De

voured by Tliem.

MUNCIR. Ind., March 13.—Paul Layden of Lima, O., had a narrow escape from being devoured by hogs at the home of George Martin, near here. Layden stopped at the home of Martin to get something to eat. He is subject to epileptic fits and, in passing through the barn yard, he was seized with one. and fell to the ground unconscious. He lay them some time, when a drove oi hog. u-fAui' i.-aimg nits cloches. The ferocity of the lio^s grew until they began biting his flesh. In a short time his body would have been frightfully lacerated, only for the timely arrival oi Mr. Martin, who was attracted by the noise of the drove, and hurried to tin rescue. Martin purchased a ticket, i'oi the man and sent him home.

A MISERABLE FATE.

James Winters, :m Kx-Coiiviet, I'aralyzetJ and Without Friends. OHIO FALLS, Ind., March 13.—A mos' pitiable fate is that of James Winters oi' Rush county. Three years ago he shot into a party in a carriage, whom he thought were guying him. A young lady was seriously wounded, and Winters was sentenced for two years.

During his trial, while in court, he was suddenly paralyzed from the hip down, and has ever since been helpless. Three men under b, ei .,.•»• arland of Rush county had to cany mm to the train, and when he was released from the steps of the Rush county courthouse yesterday he was utterly penniless, without relative or friend the most miserable convict ever released from the prison south.

Maniac on a Train.

TEKRE HAUTE, Ind., March 13.—A Pullman sleeping car on train No. 5 of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois was taken possession of by an armed maniac last night, and held by him against all the crew and passengers. The conductor succeeded in locking him in the rear compartment, and he was unable to get at the passengers, who .fled to the front of the train. The local police .succeeded in arresting him here without harm, although every chamber of his 38-calibre revolver was loaded. The maniac has been identified as J. D. Cummings, a prominent merchant of Englewood, Ills. Cummings has

110

recollection whatever

of the affair, ana his talk is incoherent.

Railroad Ordered Sold.

INDIANAPOLIS, March 13.—In the case of John E. Davidson and W. H. Barnes, trustees, vs. the Grand Rapids and Indianapolis Railroad company, Judge Wooas of the United States circuit court yesterday entered a decree of foreclosure and oruered that the road

sold at public a ution in Grand Rapids at a time to be fixed by the master 111 chancery. John F. Lawrence of Grand Rapids was appointed master in chancery to conduct the sale.

The Annual Cry Revived.

ROCHESTER, Ind., March 13.—During the past two weeks the growing wheat has been badly injured in this county. When the snow melted, a month ago, the plants were 111 vigorous condition, but the cold winds since then have caused the iields to turn brown, and a large proportion of the plants appear to be dead. An inereaseu acreage was sown last fall, but the harvest will certainly be a short one.

KENTUCKY'S

Everything:

TROUBLE.

Ouiet. but No I nited State* Senator Was Elected.

FRANKFORT, Ky.. March 13.—An extra squad of police were marched to the capitol yesterday to preserve order. Senators James and Walton, who had been unseated in the senate Wednesday in retaliation for the partisan ousting of Kaufman, Democrat, in the house, slipped into the house early, and before anybody was on guard, it being their object to sit quietly till the joint assembly convened at noon, when they would demand their right to vote lor senator.

The house passed several bills, and the senate was al-o eiuraua in routine business.but- the proceedings wei'e not watched with much interest. The members would sit in their seats only a short time, and then go take a bird'seye view of the growing crowd in the rotunda outside.

The police forced the crowd surrounding the house door to go into the lower rotunda just before the joint session was called.

The crowd downstairs extended out into the statehouse yard, and the push and jam were terrible.

At 12:05 Chairman Wortliington called the joint assembly to order. At the call of the roll of the senators it seemed evident there was a dispositon on the part of the Republicans to break the quorum. The rollcall developed J:!0 members present and voting, necessary to a choice, 66. Bronston, Democrat, called for the reading of the journals. Ward, Republican, objected. Barnum. Republican, wanted to know V.MC: ier the journals of the joint assembly should be read or the journals of bodi houses. Bronston, Democrat, said the law contemplated no such thing as the journal in joint assembly, that the law prescribed the journals'of the speetive houses should be read each day.

After a wrangle of 15 minutes Senator Salvers (sound money Democrat), in order to scide matters, moved that the reading of the journal be dispensed with. The chairman ruled accordingly and the ballot for senator was begun.

Lieutenant Governor Worthington made a ruling on the quorum question, declaring that not only must 70 members be present, but voting.

This seems to put a quietus on the senatorial question this session. If seems impossible that either party can muster that number. The ballot proceeded quietly, the Republicans to a man refusing to vote. The ballot resulted: Blackburn, 51. Carlisle, Buckner, 1. No election.

WASHINGTON DEMOCRACY.

Delegates Selected to the National Democratic Convention at Chicago. WASHINGTON", March 13.—The district Democracy held its convention yesterday to choose delegates to the national convention at Chicago. A "comb.no" slate was fixed up embracing delegates from the several sections of the city and despite many vigorous efforts t, break it went through with the exeeption of Edwin Forrest, who was beaien by George Killeen by three votes. The delegates to Chicago are Robert E. Mattingly, Frank P. Morgan, John Boyle, William Holmead, George Kdleen and E. L. Jordan.

During the light against the combine frequent direct charges were mane tin:r its members were hostile to the administration and were in favor of free silver but they succeeded in conuucting their campaign without committing themselves, save in the general endorsementgiven the administration in the platiorm adopted. This platform inuorseu the administration of Grover Cleveland, particularly the bold stand taken

the

Venezuelan question, the enunciation of the Monroe doctrine being declared a correct interpretation of true Americanism, expressed sympathy for those engaged in the battle for freedom iii the island of Cuba, and cordially indorsed the expression of that sympathy contained in the joint resolutions of tinsenate and house.

The plank contained in the Democratic national platform of 1856 and directed against the Know Nothing party of that day, was put in the resolutions. This declared that a political crusade in the nineteenth century against Catholic aud foreign-born citizens is contrary to the genius of our institutions, and can not be too severely condemned.

There was a significant absence in the platform of any expression on the silver question.

The A. P. A. plank was not vigorous enough for Mr. Dennis Callaghan and he made a vigorous but unsuccessful light to have substituted for it a set of resolutions denouncing the A. P. A. in the bitterest language.

The endorsement of the administration was received with mingled cheers and hisses and evoked a hot auti-Cleve-laiul speech from ex-Congressman Turner, who has been practicing law here 6ince his retirement from vtive participation in Tammany Hall a-uirs.

HUNDURAS UNDER MARTIAL LAW.

It Will Remain So Until the Revolution iu Nicaragua I* Knded. TEGUCIGALPA, March 13.—The whole of the republic of Honduras has been placed under martial law pending the settlement of the civil revolt iu Nicaragua, in which the president of Honduras has espoused the cause of President Zolaya's government against the rebels.

The near approach of the contending forces in Nicaragua to the Honduras frontier and the disposition of the president of Guatemala to interpose for tho settlement of the war, are the considerations that made the step seem advisable of placing the country uuuer martial law.

Satisfactory Shooting.

WASHINGTON, March 13.—President Cleveland and his guests who were duck shooting at Widewater on the Potomac river yesterday returned to this city on the lighthouse tender Maple shortly after 10 o'clock last irht. The crisp weather which prevailed during the "day was evidently a good one for the sport and it is understood that the results of the day's shooting were very satisfactory
