Financial Condition of tlie Country Through Which It Is To Be Built. Special to th Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Aug. 22. —Undoubtedly the question of tne United States taking an Interest in opening a canal through Nicaragua will come before Congress again this winter, and information concerning the condition of that government, the topography of the country and its resources, will he eagerly read. It is ascertained through diplomatic sources that the financial condition of Nicaragua is distressing. Monoy is worth 1| per cent a month there, and not infrequently is 3 per cent a month paid—a rate sharply in competition with tlio curbstone brokers of Washington, who charge department clerks and other unfortunates 5 and, sometimes. 10 per cent, a month. There are no banks in Nicaragua, and the want of them is severely felt Financial transactions are conducted altogether by mercantile houses and moneylenders. The penalty on overdue custom-house bills is 5 per cent, interest per month, and merchants are willing to pay 3or 4 per cent, to get their goods out of the custom-house. Long credits seem to be the prevailing system In Nicaragua, and from ten to twelve months' time is allowed on purchases. The business ot the country is almost entirely in the hands of the English, Germans, French and Italians. But one American vessel touched Nicaragua last year. against 36 German, 10 French. 13 Italian and 5 English. The total revenue of the government last year was $1,727,588, which was $37,127 less than the cost of running it. Its institutions are not self supporting: the tele graph, for instance, which is run by the government, costing last year $17,813 more than the receipts. Rubber and coffee form the principal exports. There is little railroad interest there, and no outlet to the coast. A canal to connect the interior water-ways is the project, and the United States government has been tempted to construct a canal for the purpose of controlling Nicaragua trade. PEACE AT THE CAPITAL. A Complete Respite from Social and Business Cares. Special to th<> Imlianapolis Journal. Washington, Aug. 22. —Such complete respite from business and social cares as now the people of Washington have not had for many years. Thore has been complete and absolute suspension of social events since the Ist of April, and the commercial men say they have not seen as quiet times since the war. Tlio stores in Washington mostly close at 5 o'clock in the afternoon now. after opening at from 7 to 8 o’clock in the morning. A large number of establishments close early in the afternoon on Saturday. The streets are almost deserted during the day. It is only when the department people are going to or returning from their work that there is anything of life seen. Even at night there is an entire absence of the usual erovvds or bustle that make life under the gaslight interesting at the capital. The hotels here all attempted to bridge the summer chasm by keeping open continuously. Usually several of the leading hotels close till October, but a belief existed in the minds of several of the proprietors that the change of administration would induce an army of office leekers, and the hostelries would at least pay expenses. In this they have been mistaken. The offices have been sought largely from home, and those who came have mostly put up at boarding houses. Washington is now a veritable winter watering-place deserted. MINOR MENTION. How the Circulation of Republican Papers Is Prevented in Virginia. sper iul to the Indianapolis Journal Washington, Aug. 22.—Before the late war ft was a common thing for Democratic postmasters of the South to examine the mails and rifle them of anti slavery newspapers, pamphlets, and periodicals, which were thrown into tho waste basket, without any deference to the law or the rights of the people. The Republicans of Virginia are loudly complaining now that the same sort of outrages are being perpetrated by the new Democratic postmasters in that State. They say their papers are taken out and destroyed, their letters vexatiously delayed, and they are demanding that a stop be put to these outrages. Some estimate can by this bo put upon the bitterness being engendered on tho part of tho Bourbons by the campaign in the Old Dominion. Postmasters for Indiana. Special to tho Indianapolis Journal.

Richmond, Ind., Aug. 22.—About 2 o'clock this morning a policemau discovered that the Presbyterian Church was on hre near the baso of the steeple. It is pretty certain the building was fired by lightning. When the engines reached the sceno the fire was under strong headway. The steeple and rqof were destroyed, the furniture was much injured, the bell—a S7OO or SSOO one —was so melted that where it had fallen it ran over the floor liko water, and the organ was somewhat injured by water. How seriously the walls are damaged remains to be seen. On the building there is $4,500 insurance; on the furniture, s.’>oo, and on the organ SI,OOO. On neither the building norithe furniture is the loss covered, by a considerable sum. On tho organ it is more than covered. The frame at the steeple fell to the ground, when it burned nearly up. and, in falling, struck two firemen—Jesse McCullough, who had an arm broken, and was badly burned on the hands and face, and Charles Hessman, one of whose shoulder blades was broken. Chalk Moore, a bachelor of some sixty-five years, stood looking at the fire, apnarentlv in perfect health. As the fragments of the burning steeple fell to the ground, he gave a cry and himself fell to the ground, dead. Heart disease was probably the cause. Old Settlers’ Meeting at Arcadia.

A magnificent double play was made iu the sixth, which saved St. Louis the game. After Reilly hud hit safely, Fennelly knocked a long fly nearly to the fence. Robinson, by a wonderful effort, caught it, aud, as Reilly had reached third base, it was an easy matter to complete the play by fielding tho ball to tho first base.

THE LABOR AGITATION. Indications that the Struggle Will Begin in Earnest by Monday or Tuesday. St. Louis, Aug. 22.—The only developments in the Knights of Labor trouble at this point to-day were confined to the yards of the bridge company, to which five Wabash engines were transferred this morning from the Missouri Pacific yards. With two exceptions the men in the yards are all knights, and they refused to draw the fire, wipe or in any way handle the Wabash engines. The superintendent was informed that if ordered to attend to them the men would quit work in preference to doing so. No orders have been given yet to that effect, however, and the matter has not been brought to an issue. Two delegates from Decatur, 111., arrived this morning to confer with the Wabash committee. It is reported from Stanberry, Mo., that the Wabash shopmen who quit work there on Tuesday last, under the order of the national execut tive committee of the Knights of Labor, will return to work on Monday as individuals, the master mechanic declining to receive them as a body, It is reported here to-night that the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers will hold meetings throughout the West to-morrow (Sunday) night, to consider the present situation on the Wabash road, and determine what action they will take in relation thereto. A large meeting of Knights of Labor men was held at S'*dalia to-night, the result of which they have endeavored to keep secret. The Kansas City Journal’s Sedalia correspondent telegraphs that it was unanimously resolved at the meeting to carry out Secretary Turner’s recent order forbidding shopmen of other roads from handling Wabash cars, and that such action had been taken by the Knights at Parsons, Kan., and some other points. Further than this, no report of the proposed action of the men has been received. DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN. Indications.

Where Fashionable Ladies Leave Their Rets During Temporary Absence. Baltimore Herald. A handsome equipage drove up in front of a modest two story residence ou Druid Hill avenue yesterday. Iho colored footman, dismounting, opened the carriage door and allowed a fashionably dressed lady, who resides on St. Paul street, to step down upon the pavement She carried in her arms a beautiful white cat of unspotted fur. It had a piece of pink ribbon on its neck. A pair of tiny silver beilsdepended from its ears. 1 he lady, as she stood on the doorstep admission to the house, toyed with the pampered feline tenderly, and said softly: ‘‘Pretty Seraphim.” The lady reappeared about fifteen minutes later. She was unaccompanied by her pet. Her eyes were just the least bit moist. Re-entering her carriage, she was driven rapidly away, after casting a longing look at the house she left. She will return in a few weeks and once more obtain her favorite kitten. It will cost her a ten-dollar note. Very few persons in the neighborhood dream, that the elderly maiden lady who resides in the modest two-story house with a little orphan grandson, keeps a cats’ boarding establishment. She admits no other sort of animal. The idea is a mild, harmless monomania with her. It first developed itself several years ago, when she made a habit of bringing home every sick or crippled cat that she might find in the street. The invalid animals were subjected to a conscientious medical treatment. One large room was and is still devoted to their occupancy. In it are cats of all colors. Some have only oue eye, while some have no eyes at all. Others hobble around on three less having lost the fourth entire. Several may be found there with bandages around the stumps of tails which had been cut off by malicious youngsters. There is one cat which has lost all its hair, kerosene having been poured over the animal and lit. The old lady found the cat in a circle of boys in the back alley, being there tortured to death, and saved its life by deluging it with water. It is n w in a fair way to recovery. Such experiences as these led the old lady to the notion of starling a cats’ boarding house. The fact became known among ladies who have pet cats, and tor the past two summers the novel boarding establishment has been well filled with some of the choicest specimens of the feline race. Each boarder has a neat little bed. Meals are served twice a day. First-class board is $lO a month. This insures milk, meat, and bread moisten in warm water. Cats whose social status is not so high are boarded for $6 and SB. They get more water and less milk than the others, while their allowance of meat is less choice in selection. The establishment is well patronized during the summer when Indies are away from town. As long as they know that their favorite pussies are in the care of this old philogatist, or friend of the feline, their minds are perfectly at ease. There are at present eighteen pet cats boarding at the establishment. Priority of Invention. Electrical Review. The following are points in decisions on priority of invention: The party who first reduces an invention to actual use is entitled to the patent for it, although the other party may have first conceived it. if he did not. exercise reasonable diligence in reducing it to practice. If the party who first conceived a machine followed up the idea diligently, and was the first to reduce it to actual practice, he is entitled to a patent for it, although his competitors had complete working drawings of it previously prepared. and hail obtained a patent. Whoever first reduces an invention to practice and makes an application of it to use, will usually be held the prior inventor. In order to defeat a patent the courts require it to be shown that another not only conceived the invention in dispute before the patentee, but was also the first to perfect and adapt the same to practical use, or was using reasonable diligenco for that purpose. The parties who first embodied an invention in a machine which they kept in operation afterward for actual use, besides manufacturing and selling other machines, are prima facie entitled to that patent. He is the inventor, entitled to the protection of the patent law, who is first to complete the invention and publish it to the world, and not he who confines the knowledge of it to hia client. Where an invention consists of a combination of elements, the date when all tho elements are combined is the date of the invention. When one is first to conceive an invention, throws asido all evidence of the conception, makes no effort to complete or introduce it to the public, and delays making an application for a patent for neariy four years after another has brought it into extensive use, ho ha3 no standing as an inventor.
