PETTIS, BASSETT & CO MARSHAL SCHELL'S plea. He Thinks McManis Would' Have Killed Him Had lie Sot Been Prompt with His ReTolver. Charles Schell, the marshal of West Indianapolis, -who killed William McManis on Saturday night, will have a preliminary hearing hefore 'Squire Johnson this morning. It is understood that he will waive examination, and submit his case to tho grand Jary direct. He will enter a plea of self-defense, "with tho hope of being able to show by several witnesses that McManis would have killed him had he not used his revolver. Among the members of the city police force McManis has been regarded as a dangerous man when under the influence of liquor, but, notwithstanding that fact, few people justify- the marshal's hasty use of his weapon, under tho direction of acting Coroner I? id path, Drs. Morrow and Vernon held a post-mortem examination of the body of the murdered man yesterday. They found that the ball entered about the center of the abdomen, and ranging downward passed through tho bowels. It lodged near the base of the spine. The revolver used was a lawcaliber, and the ball made an ugly wound, which the physicians say would have been fatal under any circumstances. The friends of McManis are very bitter toward SchelL, and will urge that he be vigorously prosecuted. Amusements. The Lyceum Theatcrsuecess. 'The Wife," which will be seen for the first time here at the Grand to-night, is by Belasco and Do Millo, the authors of "Lord Chumley," and is a domestic drama, which had a run of 237 nishtainNew York. To-night will be its 437th consecutive performance. It will be given, it is promised, with a cast of uniform excellence and the original scenic etlects. The attraction is oue of tho highest order and deserves large audiences. The Duff Opera Company, which is to present the Queen's Mate" at the Grand the latter part of the week, is said to be tho largest and most talented organization now playing comic opera. It gives tho opera a spectacular presentation, which requires two car-loads of scenery. A grand march of forty young womon, in full armor, is one of tho features. The opera is by Lecocq. The advance sale of seats will begin at the box-o-:co of tho Grand this morning. Iloyt'n merry comedy, "A Bunch of Keys," will make the patrons of the Park laugh at both performances to-day and all week. The company is a good ouo and tho music and specialties are all new. A Deputy "Warden to Resign. Deputy Warden Barnes, of the Prison South, has decided to resign tho first of next month, because his health has been very poor for several months, and he deems it best for him to sever his connection with the prison. Mr. Barnes thinks tho salary would not justify him in remaining, even if his health would penuit. At the recent fccssion of the Legislature a bill was introduced and defeated increasing the salary of the warden from 1,500 to 2,500, and that of tho deputy warden from $ao to 1,'J00. Three or four of tho guards at the prison, as well as several outsiders, hav already announced that they will bo applicants for Mr. Barnes's place. To Go Direct to the Tark. The Citizens' Street-railway Company is preparing for the bao-ball season.

THE SAINT'S DAY OBSERVED

Loyal Remembrance by the Irish of tho Zeal and Virtues of Great St. Patrick. Cheering Sunshine Greets the Sons of Erin, Who Have a Parade and llear Eloquent Orations in Honor of the Pay. If tho patron saint of Ireland could have risen yesterday morning and seen tho sunburst in a horizon nnflecked by a shiple cloud, he would hardly have believed his eyes. Surely snch a truo May day could not come upon the 17th of March, famous for its job lots of bad weather left over from three months of winter; and tho honest old saint who drovo the 6nakes into tho 6eaon an anniversary of his birth would have been unable to understand it at all. The procession would havo been larger, yesterday, had it not been for tho warm sun and the summer air. The true son of Ireland delights to honor the saint's birthday, but ho wants it to come in due and ancient form raw and gusty weather, with snow, or 6leet, or rain. There was no lack of emerald ribbon displayed, and if the extreme measures once popular in Ireland for decorating in this beautiful color had been adopted hero it may be safely 6aid that a very largo proportion of the population of Indianapolis, men, women and children, would have been deal(Jwith for "wearing of the green." Never before in the history of the city has there been such a putting on of tho national hue of Ireland. Greeu ribbons and green badges fluttered not only from the osoms of Irish blood, but hundreds of Americans, not at aU Irish, took pleasure in thus showing their sympathy with tho can He. The procession formed at 2 o'clock P.M. on Maryland street, tho right resting on Tennessee. The lino of march was west on Maryland to Mississippi, north to Washington, east to Alabama, counter-marching on A ashington to Meridian, and thenco north to Marnet street and east to Tomlinson Hall. The order of procession was as follows: Squad of Police under Sergeant Quigley. Grand Marshal, James Dohe.rtv. Alas: John Kail, Patrick Manley, John muffins, Jeremiah Costello, Thomas Watson, M.J. O'Riley, Martin J. Murphy. Maurice Donnelly, Wm. J. Parkinson, John Costello. MichaelMabony, John P. Quinn, Thoma.i McDermott, Joseph Grecnen, fimothy Donlon. Richard Merrick, James McUrKle, John fahea, John Schneider, Albert Peach. Meyer's Hand. Emmet Guard, D. J. Sullivan. Pico Zouaves. Captain Draper. Iloraan Knights, Aug. Winch. Carriages with Orators of the Day. St. Stanlslau's Society. Ancient Order Hibernians. St Patrick's Total Abstinence Society. Citizens on Foot and In Carriages. It was after S o'clock before tho meeting in Tomlinson Hall was called to order by James II. Deery. who spoko of his regret that Governor Ilovey, who had been selected to preside, was nnablo to bo present, and then introduced, as the first sneaker of the occasion, John 1L McFee, recently of Baltimore, now a resident of Indianapolis. The audience was large, but there was, during much of the time that Mr. McFeo was deli verinc his address, which was really deserving close attention, a hum and buzz of voices and a moving about in the corridors that at length grew to such an extent that no was coranelled to call unon the residing officer to enforce Quietness. Ir. Melee, in besinnine his sneech. said uiub n suouiu uiauuen in a particular manner every Irishman and evervfriend of Ireland to celebrate this. St. Patrick's day. To-day tho most powerful newspaper on earth stands confessing the guilt of the basest libel known mthe history of journalism. Its shame is tho shame of tho English Sovernmcnt; its disgrace is Ireland's glory, ot the allied force of a partisan tribunal and an exhaustless treasury could overcome the masterly defense of Parnell, and tho disgrace of the Times is tho logical index to a triumph of the Irish cause before the next Parliament. The orator said ho could not dwell on the return to life of Ireland and her heroes, of the struggle of Grattan and lood culminating in an independent Irish Parliament, of CVConneH's resistless logic and poetic eloquence winning Catholic emancipation, of the profound statesmanship of Burke, of the ability of Curran and Sheridan their struggles and achievements are a part of tho history of liberty. The brave men of 1708 failed. The freedom-worshipinc followers ot Smith O'Brien, of Mitchell; of Meagher in 1848 were decreed to be felons but their influence lived on. A new leader comes as by divine direction to lead the Irish hosts, not with a sword but with all the weapons of modern legislative struggles. Jtreedom flung into the air the dust of Kmmet and O'Connell and from it sprang Charles Stewart Parnell. Tho madness born of inhuman wrongs is sootbted to calmness by the sereno determination of Ireland's great leader, impetuosity turns to deliberation and the craving for physical warfare yields to the derermination to make tho battle a political one. Public opinion not tho opinion of theorists, nor of philosophers nor of social reformers but the opinion of plain people of those who stand in tho ranks and shed their blood when their country calls, wiser than any man or set of men, public opinion is tho weapon which will force the government of England to do Ireland justice. England can heap wrong on her subjects but sho canuot defy the public opinion of the world, and the next English election will tell the world that England will do justice to Ireland. Just as certain as public opinion has changed the government of England from a monarchy till now it is a government by a committee of the Ipuse of Commons, just so certain is public opinion awakeningtho people of England to a senso of the wrong done to Ireland, and it is tho duty of America, by her moral influence, to hasten the happy result. It is un-American not to be sympathetic with Ireland. The speaker coutiuued that Ireland asked but the lirst right of every free peopl.3. tho the right to make her own laws. The laws of England aro English, reflecting tho wishes of the people; the laws of Scotlmd, though enacted by the saino Parliament, every Scotchman knows, aro Scotch; but all the world knows that not a single statute governing Ireland is Irish. There is representation given Ireland in the English Parliament, but her renresentatives are outnumbered three to one, and the laws enacted aro in no respect a reflection of tho people's will. History and the nature of the two people show that never can this wrong bo righted sevo by an Irish Parliament. In concluding, Mr. McFee said public opinion was surely guiding justico to Ireland. The advance has been slow, but it is as sure as slow. The heart of tho world is growing tenderer to human wrong, and tho era is dawning when England will not dare continue her persecution of down-trodden Ireland. The great Gladstone has torn tho veil from the eyes of his countrymen. They will now look at tho Irish question iu all its truth; upon her wrongs in all their enormity. The descendants of men who followed John Hampden, who wrested Magna Charta from a tyrant king, who havo made their Constitution grow till now an Englishman is really tree as an American such a people will do justice to Ireland when they appreciate her demands. In tho vista of the near future an Irish Parliament may be seen assembled at College Green; there will bo Irish judges from magistrates' courts to tho liighest court of judicature administering Irish laws. Ireland lor the Irish shall bo realized. Nolougor shall tho heel of tho landlord crush tho Irish heart. Ireland may remain part of the British empire, but her sons shall be free; freo to enjoy the earnings of their toil; free to love their native land; free to push forward to tho achievement of the results which their industry, genius and bravery must eilect. The next speaker was Father Dowd, who spoke of Ireland as she was before the coming of St. Patrick, and of .the glorious things his miuistrv had done for Erin. Ho said that Ireland had not been peopled by the barbarians of northern Europe, but by Phoenicians, or people of tho East, who always had some spark of civilization. Tho mythology of Ireland, unlike that of northern Europe, did not include the worship of Odin or Woden, but was the worship of the 6un, moon and stars, showing that even in her earliest history her. religion was higher than that of her neighbors, and that her mythology was from the East. Sho is alone, too, in the way she received tho word of God: Palestine crucilied tho son of God; Greece and Home and other lauds killed the martyrs, while Ireland received the word as coon as it fell from tho lips of St. Pat i l :a. -1 i ,i i i .- , '

rick, who was a lion in strength, a dove in meekness and a king in dignity and honor. The last speaker was Patrick H. Clark. Mr. Clark said the day thev celebrated was the Easter Sunday of the Irish com memomting the rise of Ireland from paganism to the life and light of Christianity. He spoko of the woes of Ireland, present and past, and in conclusion dwelt hopefully on the future when Irelaud will be given the right to rule herself, and her law-makers will minister to the -wants of her people. The audience dispersed in rare good humor, satistied that the occasion had been well spent. The Erenlnc's Entertainment. There was a largo and well-pleased audience at the Grand Opera-house last night, tho entertainment entitled "Beautiful Erin" being specially appropriate to tho close of St. Patrick's day. Tho programme opened with a lecture on Ireland by Mr. P. J. Kellehcr, which embraced the more salient points of Ireland's history, particularly her moro recent struggles for liberty, beginning with tho rebellion of Wolfe Tone and coming down to the parliamentary warfare of Charles Stewart Parnell, which now appears to be so near achieving the laurel of victory. Numerous views illustrating the beautiful and romantic spots of Ireland were thrown upon i a large canvas by a camera. These views were explained by tho lecturer in a very happy vein. For a time there appeared to be a misunderstanding between the lecturer and the artist managing the pictures, the views getting tangled up in a way that threw the lecture out of accord with the display on the canvas. This was very amusing to the audience, but was soon brought into proper arrangement, and the display went on smoothly. The musical part of the programme was also good. Misses Anna Abromet, Bertha Galentine, Ella Sullivan and Messrs. T. E. Cantlin, Paul Bedell and J. M. Sullivan taking part. Miss K4tie Duffy recited "Erin's Flag? admirably and evoked great applause. Tho entertainment was in overy respect excellent. m THE BOATING SEASON OPENED. Songs of the Gay Gondolier Once More Beard on the Water Company's Canal. Tho boating season was opened formally yesterday, if tho opening of tho public boat-houses and tho lowering of some halfhundred skiffs, canoes and pirogues into the water may be considered a formal opening. Tho event was observed by a considerable number of citizens inclined to water for pleasure, who paddled along the placid bosom of the canal under bridges loaded with enthusiastic spectators, who cheered tho mariners on their winding way. Tho course is not as picturesque as could be wished for the first stage ot the journey, but it improves as tho city is left behind, and by the time the last city bridge is passed the odors become less distinct and permeating. As far as Brighton Beach tho banks aro largely patronized by fishermen and pedestrians ging to and returning from Sunday exhibitions of the national game, but after that watering place is passed, the paths aro less frequented, and a solitary horseman or a romantic couplo out to mingle their murmurs with tho croaking of the bullfrogs is all tho humanity that can be counted on with certainty. Broad-cut, a little further out, is a handsome piece of water, big enough to allow canoeists to handle their canvas. The aqueduct, just above, is an attractive spot, and from that on by Golden Hill through to Broad Ripple the canal leads through as attractive a section as there is in the county. "It is a pity that the canal can't be used for small steam craft as far as the Hippie," said a boat-house proprietor to a Journal reporter, yesterday. It would make as pleasant an excursion as could bo wished for on a summer evening." "What is the reason it cannot be!" "The water company is afraid of having the banks injured oy the wash. There i only one steamboat allowed on it now, and that is the small one used by the company's employes for inspection and other purposes. There used to be one other with a bargo that could be towed and which was largo enough tv hold a considerable party, but that is no longer available." 'Vh at is the number of the fleet of rowboats and canoes in use!" 'I should think there were between two hundred and two hundred and fifty owned along the canal between here and Broad Kinple. About half of these belong to the public boat-houses, and the others to private individuals, who rent the privilege of keeping them on the canal from the water company. Tho public boat-houses are making some additions this season, and will an have increase in tho number of canoes for hire. The latter are better adapted for use on this water than the rowboats, but there are comparatively few peoplo who kDOW how to nandlo them, and as the water averages over six feet in depth, an upset is attended with some danger as well as inconvenienco. Still, mishaps are rare, and if wo have not the finest water-courso in tho world, wo have one of tho safest. In the event of a storm the mariner can get ont of his vessel and hoof it homo on tho towpath, and if the waves run too high he can send word to the company and have the water drawn off." m TIIE HOSPITAL FOR THE INSANE. Bad Discipline Allows the Fatlents to Escape from the Institution. There were two escapes from the Indiana Hospital for the Insane on Saturday, one a patient from the male department and tho other Mrs. Poindexter, a patient in the woman's department. Mrs. Poindexter is a married woman whose home is in Washington county. The discipline of tho institution, it is said, has grown so lax and things are at ench odds and ends that ttho escapo of only two patients in one day is not to be wondered at. It is a matter of surprise that the number is not greater. Few or many, the management does not inform the public of these numerous disappcrances, and those who havo friends cr relatives Supposed to be safely cared for as inmates of tho hospital cannot be certain that they may not be at largo to tho endangering of their own lives or tho lives of others. An Applicant for Place. Dr. Francis J. Hammond, formerly member of the Koyal College of Surgeons, of England, is a candidate for tho superintendency of tho Hospital for tho Insane, He claims to have been for several years connected with the Kane Lunatic Asylum, England, and to havo made the study of insanity a lifetime work. He will meet with the new trustees to-day to press his claims for the position. In case Tho is not given the Bupenntendeucy he is a candidate for a place as assistant physician. But, as the tender of the 6npermtendency has been made to Dr. C. E. Wright, no applications for tho position will bo considered unless that gentleman declines to accept it-

Becoming the Property of Others. The property that John E. Sullivan one owned is rapidly passing into new hands under tho sheriff's hammer. To-day, between 10 and 4 o'clock, Sheriff King will sell, at No. 170 West Maryland street, all Mr. Sullivan's office furniture and fixtures, safe, wagons, boilers, elevator, pump, ice machine, and all the attachments belonging to the poultry-house, as well as tho building and ground. The real estate and personalty Sullivan had in Terre Hauto was, Saturday, transferred by the assignee, Charles Lauer, to S. P. Wadley, of this eity, f or .soo. Tho property consisted of the ponltry-houso, its contents, and the lot on which it is situated. It had been mortgaged by Sullivan to Treasurer Loftin for b.OOO and to John R. Nixon for $6,000. People who are acquainted with tho property say it sold for its full value. Mr. Vudloy, the purchaser of the property, expects to move to Terre Haute, and continue its use in tho poultry business. Too Much Whisky. Yesterday afternoon an unknown woman wandered into 2S3 West Merrill street whdo tho family were away, and, falling upoa a bed, she was found asleep when tho owner of the house returned. It was found that she was helpless from drink, and sho was lodged in the station-house, where sho gavo a fictitious name.

DMMIXG MEN NOT "WANTED

Temperance Sentiment Growing Among Employers in All Classes of Business. Francis Murphy Thinks That and the Love of Christ Will Accomplish More in Destroying the Liquor Traffic than Legislation. Francis Murphy the temperance evangelist, is still carrying on tho work in Kokomo with so much success that it is said that he has already induced one-hfth of tho population of tho place to sign the pledge. A Journal reporter met Mr. Murpby a day or two ago and asked him about tho national feeling regarding temperance. 'There is is to-day," he said, "a healthy growth of public sentiment in favor of sobriety from ono end of the laud to the other. Tho business interests of this country are organized against the drink traffic The great corporations positively refuse to retain in their employment men known to nso liquor in the 'least degree to excess. In this ago everything is being done with such minute accuracy and with such lightning speed, and competition is so fearfully great that tho captains of civilization demand that tho rank and hie of their followers shall bo sober, and at their posts of duty at tho proper time, to a man. Here is where the most stringent prohibitory law in the world is found. If a man is Known to use liquor as a beverage, ho is informed that ho is not needed. These agencies aro at work in the telegraph offices, in the banks, on the railroads, in the factories, at the forgo and in the field. The same is true of tho representatives of the commercial houses. Time was when commercial men used to drink indiscriminately. They had to treattheir customers to sell goods, and, in this way. were led into temptation. It was no uncommon thing for a man to pet on a spree and remain for a week, having some lriend write the house he was sick and unable to proceed. Some of the finest businessmen iu this country havo been wrecked by just such habits; the commercial interests of the country have been sacrificed, and customers havo been -disapf ointed so severely that merchants and heir representatives have mutually decided that intoxicating liquor is an enemy to both." "Have many traveling men signed the pledge with you, Mr. Murphy 1" 4,Yes, a great multitude. They have signed at the meetings, and come to my rooms in the hotel, asking the privilege of taking the pledge and putting on the ribbon. Many I have personally known to bo using liquor to excess have been redeemed. Now. our representative business men are gentlemen, intelligent, tho graduates of our colleges, coming from tho first homes in our land. They are subjected to greater temptations than any other class of men in tbis country. The hotels should be visited by l r . 1 uurisuan men every ounaay morning, ana these men invited to the churches. Many a young man in a etrango city simply awaits this attention to rescue nim from the haunts of vice, and the hospitality of dining at tho home of a Christian gentleman would bo wonderfully helpful to him in establishing the principles taught iu his own home." 'But you are hopeful of tho progress of temperance among all classes to-dayT' "Yes, this whole county is getting sober. Self-preservation is the first law of nature, and the people are becoming informed on the terrible evils attending tho use of intoxicating drink, and establishing a hearthstone prohibition over this land. This is tho law that is everywhere, constantly, si lently at work that does not ask for any . T a a e A ri l r . legislative majorities 10 euiorce it. xaisis the temperance that is working in tho great centers of population to-day regardless of creed, or sect, or party. This is the temperance of tho gospel, with its boundless potency to prevail iu triumph in the end, which, strange to 6ay, the armies of temperance workers that have arisen in the present age have failed to appreciate or acknowledge. Tho arrogance and intolerance of many otherwise ablo men in this cause have thrown, upon it of ten the unjust defamation of the world. The great mistake of tho present time is the widely-accepted sophisty that legislationrighteous in its place is . tho panacea for all tho sin that finds its well-springs in the heart of man. If law could have saved men, Moses wouhlhave been the Christ. But another Cawer shall redeem love, and that alone, ove is another Columbus, aud discovers new continents in the hearts of men." Doyou believe, then, in legislation on this subject?" , "I do, most firmly. Legislation can be used to control, and to restrict, and abolish tho t radio in intoxicating liquors. Jn the large centers of population you can restrict, in many of the rural districts wholly abolish it. But no verdict rendored by tho ballot enables 500 people to Bay to 450, 'You shall not drink.' The friends of temperance havo placed too much confidence in tho small majorities that have been rendered in favor of the abolition of this traffic, and wonder wby the law cannot be enforced to sustain tho 'verdict of the people. But they fail to consider the fact that 50 per cent of tho 500 constituting this majority une liquor moderately themselves. Now, while you can get a man to vote against intemperance as an evil, when made an issue at the polls, under the rallying cry, Vhisky or no whisky you cannot get this same man to como out and publicly stand for the enforcement of this law against a 6in which he himself is tolerating in private." "But many who voted the third-paity ticket in the last campaign did so to remove temptation from themselves." 'Tcanuot doubt the honest belief of these men that when they cast their vote to remove this thing it was going to move. But they were in error. They must learn the prohibition of the gospel of Christ: that thv must pay the price: that they cannot Sather grapes from thorns nor figs from listles. 'It thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out. It thy right arm ollend thee, cut it off." "How much do you think law can do with this evilf" "Keasonable legislation can restrict it aud go far toward its abolition just so long as the law is one men can actually respect and be made amenable to. This reminds mo of the experience wo have had with law in the State of Pennsylvania. I am not much of a lawyer, but tho results attending tho existing statute, known as tho Hrooks law, in that State, show that, while it is not yet a year old. the number of saloons has been reduced from 5,773 in 1887 to 1,47 in 1S88 in the eity of Philadelphia alone. The number of commitments to tho county prison from June to October, 18S7, was 13,544; from June to October, 1688, under the law, 8,455, a decrease of 5,009, or S3 per cent. The commitments to the Honso of Correction also show 83 per cent, decrease in the same period. Now the partisan advocates of law in temperance work are sincere, but they refuse to support any restrictive measures. I declare that this is unfortunate for the Uraoks law, and its friends who aro equally sincere, and who believe in laws that can be used to restrict or remove this great evil by intelligence, which is the sure conservator of tho people's rights." 'Some of tho best temperanco people in this country say this method is nothing less than a contract with the devil." "Oh, ves, there has been a great deal of noise ahont the question of a 'contract with the devil,' because some people havo undertaken to restrict and control this evil. They want every honest industry taxed till it staggers; but they compliment the devil with a carte blanch to go up and down this country and do as he pleases; but the people are beginning to eo tho fallacy of Buch thiugs. I might with as Sood reason ask wny God did not kill the evil, but He did not; He chained him. And when society cannot kill, it is her bounden duty to chain this devil of intoxicating drink." "What do you consider tho practical remedy for intemperance!" "The gospel of Jesus Christ. It is not merely the 'practical remedy but it is tho only remedy under heaven for this curse. I am rootea and grounded in the belief that deliverance from tho slavery of intoxicating drinks can only como through the saving grace of Christ. You cannot legislate sin from out the human heart. Neither can you successfully legislate a commonwealth into criminals any more than you can successfully legislate them into heaven. legislation to repress men's appetites will not avail. ' Temperanco is a gospel which

should bo preached jnst as God s word is preached. Let us make no fight on the saloon-keejer, the distiller, the maltster, or tho drunkard. Rather let us seek to convict the conscience to convert the heart to Christ. This is the Alpha and Omega of my doctrine." It is thought that Mr. Murphy may be induced to renew his labors here before long. A FKOMISE OP FKEE FUEL.

Gas Without Cost to Manufacturers Locating Here to Be Considered by Citizens. The announcement by President Scott, of a citizens' meeting, at the Board of Trado rooms, to-night, in response to a numerously-signed call favoring a consideration of tho question of furnishing natural gas free to manufacturers from abroad who will locate here, has attracted general attention, and the prospects aro good for a large gathering of those interested in the growth and prosperity of tho city. It is generally conceded that without some such arrangements Indianapolis cannot hop to compete successfully with other points in the State which are offering freo sites and freo gas to outside manufacturers. There are plenty of convenient locations here, admirably situated with reference to railroad facilities, which havo been offered and are still offered gratis to industries from abroad, but tho inducement of free fuel held out by many towns in tho btate is lacking, and the consequence is that while Indianapolis has gained but three new factories since natural gas was made serviceable by her people, neighboring towns have added 'dozens and scores of valuable manufacturing establishments to theirmeans of productive wealth. It is admitted that this city is bettor able to furnish the means which have attracted capital and enterprise elsewhere, than many of the towns which havo been most successful. Indianapolis is less than twenty miles from a gas belt which has proven uniformly productive and it is estimated that tho smaller towns which lie between the city and the source of 6upplv would take enough interest in the proposed now line to enable tho promoters to furnish gas to manufactories gratis, or at nominal rates. "If such a scheme is feasible," 6aid a well-known business man yesterday, "it would give the manufacturing interests of this c ommunity an impetus which cannot readilv be calculated, and would add largelv to the general wealth and prosperity of the city. Not onlv would those who own real estate hero be benefited, but the accession of new industries and population would put money in the purse of every man who is engaged in business for himself or others. While the plan may make no direct return to investors, its indirect benefits would bo mauifold. Already manufacturers in other cities, whose attention has been attracted by the Indiana ficldt have written. m asking questions concerning the probability of carrying out the project, and if tho plan f:et8 a general indorsement to-niht it will o demonstrated within the next month that Indianapolis can get the plants of some of the largest and best manufactories of tho country, who are dissatisfied with their present locations." Thought White Caps Were ARer Him. Charles Kleppe.a German, fifty-one years old, rushed into the police station at 3 o'clock yesterday morning and informed Turnkey Clark that ho was being hotly pursued by White Caps, and that they had already captured his wife, who was being slowly tortured to death by being fed upon horse-raddish. His strange conduct convinced tho officers in charge that the man was insane, and ho was locked up. Twice during the morning he attempted suicide by cutting himself with pieces of glass which he had broken out of tho windows. For some time he has been employed as foreman in Maus's malt-house on South Delaware street. Invited to the Soengerbund. The Mamnerchor Society yesterday received a formal invitation to attend the biennial samgerfest of the North American Samgerbund, to bo held in Now Orleans in March, 1S00. Hy a unanimous vote it was decided to accept tho invitation, and twenty-eight siugers signified their willingness to attend. Irwin, tho ostrich-feather man, has removed to 23h and 35 South Illinois street, over "X icoll. the tailor," occupying the entire floors.

Many people believe that diamond can be; heated white hot in a good firo with impunity, but we wouldn't adviso them to try the cxpcrl-s ment toooften. Diamonds.wbJcb passed through the great lire at Chicago were covered with a white lilm, and looked like pieces of alum. After passing through the polisher's hands they were, apparently as good as new, but there was a certain loss of luster, and possibly a second heating would have made them still more plainly perceptible.
