TOO HEAVY FOR ONE CENT

A Dealer's Trouble in Mailing a Large Amount of Catalogues and Circulars. Sixteen of the Election Cases Dismissed Because There Is No Evidence to Support Them Other Hatters in the Several Courts. J. E. Eve -itt. of Everitt fc Co., dealers in seeds aid pnblishers of the Agricultural Epitoniist, was arrested yesterday afternoon, by Postoffice Inspector Stewart, on tho charge of violating the postal laws. The accused was brought before Commissioner Van Buren, who heard a portion of the-evidence and then continued the case nn.til this morning at 10 o'clock. The evidence, was to tho effect that Mr. Everitt, among those whose mail is the heaviest at this ofiice, has been having trouble with Postmaster Jones for several months. For several years it has been the custom of the Jinn to send out, every winter and spring, everal hundred thousand catalogues advertising the seeds in which they deal. The catalogues wero always arranged in size so as to be carried through the mails for 1 cent, and last year, according to Mr. Ereritt's evidence, he got along veTy well with the postoffico officials. This year, after ho had mailed about 50,000, the stamp clerk in the office claimed that they were too heavy to bo carried for a cent. The edges of the pamphlets were trimmed and the postal authorities then said the weight was too much for 1 cent. But the ostotfice xcople again objected to circulars 10 mailed, and leaving out an envelope he had inclosed in that of the circular, he was informed that these packages were not too litt-avy. But it is said that after this a large immoer with envelopes were again mailed, nd a third time the postoilice oflicialscoinplaiued. Mr, .Lveritt says he then went to the postoffice and called theattentionof theofhcials 'to the fact that tho scales on which they "were weighing the mail matter were not "balanced, but he was not treated courteously by tho employes. Seeing it was impossible to get his mail matter sent out through the Indianapolis postoilice he made arrangements with the postmaster at Lawrence and the postmistress at Brightwood to have his circulars mailed from those offices. Accordingly 21,000 circulars were delivered at the Brightwood office and S.000 at Lawrence. The Brightwood postmistress, taken sick soon after receiving the circulars, was unable to mail them promptly. Finding that several thousand had not teen mailed Mr. Everitt took them from that office and brought them back to his piaco or business on w est wasmngton street. A few days afterward the same circular was delivered to the Indianapolis postoffice. They still bore tho stamps canceled at tho Brightwood office, and no additional postage had been paid. Mr. Everitt was notified of the discovery, and he says he informed tho authorities that the circulars had been sent to the office by mistake, and asked that they be returned to him for new stamps. The po3toffice authorities refused to allow tho return of the matter, and directed Mr. Evcritt's arrest. lie says very positively that tho circulars bearing the canceled stamps were delivered at tho office by mistake on the part of the persons who had his mailing in charge. Commissioner Van Buren held that the defendant had committed no offense by mailing his circulars at Brightwood or. Lawrence., even though they were too lieavy to na carried for 1 cent, but he doaireato .hear more evidence upon what Mr. Everitt claimed was a mistake in attempting to mail circulars bearing canceled Btampti. The Unhappily Married. Xast February Viola Whitesell, living niar Broad Ripple, sned for a divorce from Charles 8. Whitesell, claiming that they 2iad married March 4, 18S5, but that in November, 18S7, they had separated. The "by the husband, for a writ of habeas corona to recover possession of their only cftild, a boy now tlireo years old, and in an-, swer to his wife's complaint he, yesterday, Hied a cross-complaint. Whitesell therein admits the marriage and the birth of this cuim, uul ueuies anv act oi cruelty on his part, and further states that his wifo was ' accustomed to keep company with a man by thomanie of Walker, all of which was at the time without his knowledge. Shortly after her marriage she went to Kansas, presumably upon a few weeks' visit with some friends, but she remained there until Feb.Tuary, 1SS9, at which time she returned to her parents here, but refused to associate with her husband. Her freedom with Walker, it is claimed, was in the meantime continued, and repeatedly in tho husband's presence she would inform hira that she would meet him whenever she pleased. Whitesell now asks for a divorce and the custody of the child. Sarah J. Johnson wants a divorce from David Johnson, to vrnom she was married inlSW. In six months after their marriage, she claims, he abandoned her, and for eight yea:Ts he has refused to uiake any provision for her support She has also petitioned tb?o court for permission to again assume Ljr maiden name, Sarah J. Kichwein. Election Case Dismissed. Judge Woods, of the United States Court, epent yesterday hearing arguments upon motions to quash indictments against persons for alleged violation of tho election Iaws. During tho day he passed upon twenty, and found sixteen of them invalid. The four that wero not quashed were only sustained in part. The majority of tho counts wero found to be irregular, but enough remain to warrant a hearing of tho cases. Similar motions aro pending in regard to other cases, and it is not improbable that many of them may be found bad, as they all seem to have been drawn by the v x-assi8tant district attorney, Leon Bailey. The indictments quashed yesterday were against tho following persons: Morton O. Fusselmnn, Isaac N. Ifanack, John Butler, Herbert H.White, John Bird, Samuel B. 3'usminger, Lafayette Moore, Amos Price, William Beakelv, Ira Thompson, Ollie Huffman, William Payton, William W. Macy, Albert B. Marsh, James M. Fletcher and Omer Meyers. Indictments against the following were quashed only as to certain counts. Lewis A. Lucas, Jesse N. Talbott, Jioln-rt Brock, Charles McKenzie and Geo. Barley. The indictments were full of irregularities find would not have stood in anv court, at east that was the verdict of all the attorneys who heard the argument Nearly nil referred to swearing in votes.

Bryce, tho baker, for injuries he received on Wednesday afternoon. . Jle was sitting in a sulky, it is set forth in tho complaint, on Morris street. West Indianapolis, when the defendant drove by him in a wagon, and in so doing, struck his velicle, causing his horso to becomo frightened, aud in a runaway that followed Greinerwas thrown to the ground. His uhoulderwas dislocated, and, in addition, he says he sutlers from internal injnries. It is alleged that considerable damaire was done to his horse, which the plaintiff values at 1,500. for all of which he asks &,000. IJreiner is a veterinary surgeon, and in his complaint he states that he is living on a monthly income of 150 from his profession, which will bo denied him for some time on account of his inability to attend to his work. Additional Deputy Marshal. United States Marshal Dunlap appointed two additional deputies yesterday. They aro Capt James X. Payton, of New Albany, and Henry M. Mounts, of this city. Mr. Fayton will have charge of the branch ffic at New Albanj'. Ho was a 6oldier, ud his appointment was recommended by "nearly. all tho prominent Republicans in Floyd eouutv. 5lr. Mounts will bo a regular deputy at the home office. He is treasurer of the Order of Kailway Conductors, and his appointment was at the request of a large nnmber of men engaged in the railway service.

THE SEASON FOR ASSESSORS. iTore Buildings and Real Estate Owners Make the Listing of Unusual Importance. The time for the annual assessment of real estate in Marion county for taxation is approaching, and Township Assessor Quill is busy preparing the lists and plans for tho work. Therowillbe a large num ber of new buildings to look after this year and tho real estate owners have increased. This will extend tho assessment lists considerably, and Mr. Quill thinks his deputies will have all thoy can attend to in or der to finish tho work in tho next sixty davs. "Ihavobeenatwork for some time," said ho yesterday to a Journal reporter, "on tho lists and on the appointments of my depu ties, and the work is not near finished. I expect, however, to be through by Satur day, as the work of assessing is to begin on Monday. At a recent meeting of the varions townsuip assessors m tne county, I was surprised to find the amount of work we have on hand. I will have about forty thousand personal lists, in addition to which are one hundred and twenty building and loan associations and numerous banks and other corporations." "How will tho woik for this year compare with that of last year?" lt will bo much larger. Last year I only had about ninety-eightdeputies, and I will now have to have over a hundred. 1 have had over 400 applicants, and I make my choice, judging from the territory where eacn resiues anu me nunioer or recommenuations eacn can give, ion see we must oe pretty careiui in tne Kind of men we 6eud out, for much . de pends upon their ability and their trustworthiness. I can hardly sav to what extent the work this year will exceed that of last, for we cannot tell very much about the growth of the city until we have gone over the territory. The various building and loan associations have done a great deal to build up tho city, and that makes our work far more extensive. Ont towards Woodlawn avex.no and Woodruff Place especially houses aro going up almost every day, and in oiner tiireciions mo increase in property is by no means small. And so, you see we have a big work on hand, but with the large nnmber of deputies I shall have I feel that it will be accomplished satisfactorily." AMUSEMENTS. GRAND OPERA-HOUSE LYDIA TnOMPSON. Those who remember Lydia Thompson before tho enthusiasm of youth was taken out of them recall tho best type of bur lesque actresses before the stage was packed by bad imitations. While Miss Thompson may not appear to her admirers of twelve years ago as she was then her appearance last night at the Grand Opera-house was marked by good a audience, in which were mauy wno lounu uciigui in uer penormnnces when there was freshness of interest in the fun of her rollicking extravaganzas. The story of Ulysses and Penelope fur nished tne incidents for tne dasli, dancing, farce, and punning of Miss Thompson ana her company last night The audience was pleased, and at times greatly so. What more, then. can be said! But particularly did the Incidental songs and dancing catch the fancy. Masher Fritz James was especially rewarded for his singing, aud Miss Newhan's eccentric dance afforded her a great opportunity to show her skill in Kicking. ;lo-night "Columbus77 will be given. The engagement will close with the matinee and evening performances to-morrow. . NOTES.

Minutes and Seconds Doe to the Clever Heads of the Babylonians Max Muller, in the Fortnightly Review. Why is our hour divided into sixty min utes, each minute into sixty seconds. etc.T Sinolv and solely because in Babylonia there existed, by the side of the decimal system of notation, another system, the sexagesimal, which counted by sixties. Why that number should have been chosen is clear enough, and it speaks well for the piactical sense of those ancient Babylonian mercnants. There is no number which has eo many divisors as GO. The Babylonians divided ths sun's daily joumey into 24 parasangs, or 720 stadia. Each parasangorhour was subdivided into 60 minutes. A parasang is at out a German mile, and Babylonian as tronomers compared the progress made by tne sun during one nour at tne time or tne ecuiuox to the progress made by a good walker during the same time, both accom plishing one parasang. The whole course of the sun dnring tho twenty-four equinoctial hours was fixed at twenty-four para- . . Mfwv a rfr .1 rrl sangs, or m staaia, or oou uegTees. xms s v stem was handed on to tho Greeks, and Hipparchus, the great philosopher, who lived about 150 B. ., introduced the Babylonian hour into Europe. Ptolemy, who wrote about 150 A. D.. and whose name still lives in the Ptolomiac sys tem of astronomy, gave still wider currency to the Babylonian way of reckoning time. It was carried along on the quiet stream of traditional knowledge through the middle ages, and, strange to say, it sailed down safely over the Niagara of the French revolution. For the French, when revolution izing weights, measures, coins and dates," and subjecting all to the decimal system of reckoning, were induced by some unex plained motive to respect our clocks and watches, and allowed our dials to remain sexagesimal that is, Babylonian each hour consisting of sixty minutes. Here you see again the wonderful coherence of the world, and how what we call knowledge is the result of an unbroken tradition of a teaching descending from father to son. Not more than about a hundred aims would reach from us to the builders of the palaces of Babylon, and enable us to shaie hands with the founders of the oldest pyramids, and to thank them for what tliey Have doue ior ns.

MAGAZLNES OF THE MONTH. The April Harper is what may be called a

Washington number. John Bach McMaster, the historian, writos of Washington's inauguration, and combines biogTaphy and history in an entertaining way. In "Foot prints in Washington Land" Moncnre D. Conway gives some reminiscences of Washington, which he had discovered by delving among old papers and letters. A Stuart portrait of the first President forms the frontispiece of the number. In 'Charac teristics of Parisian Cafes 7 Theodore Child describes the eating places of Paris in a circumstantial manner. It is possible that no thought of advertising these resorts entered the minds of writer or publishers, but in view of the coming Paris exposition and the probable visits of many thousands oi Americans, xne account win nouotiess prove useful to all concerned. Benjamin Constant writes of Tangier and Morocco from a painter's stand-point, and describes their picturesuue features. Gabions of Abbotsford," is the title of a hitherto unpublished lragmeut by Sir alter fecott, in which he describes his home and its curiosities. A pleasingly illustrated article is uy joun ii. ioryeii, uescnuiug tne uauiis of certain birds that Uy under water. Charles Dudley Warner contributes the first chapter of what is called a serial novel, although it reads more like one of his graceful, rambling essa vs. Constance Fenimoro Woolson's story, 'Oupitcr Lights," has transferred it 8 scene from Florida to Lake Su perior, thus giving opportunity for the author's hue descriptive powers. As a character Study the story is interesting, but is less attractive than some of her former novels. Two short stories complete tho fiction of the number. A contribution to the April Scribner which will doubtless bo the subject of much discussion is one by Charles Francis Adams, entitled "The Prevention of Rail road Strikes." In an introductory note Mr. Adams states that the paper was prepared for a special purpose nearly three years ago and then submitted to several leading officials of the Union Pacific lines. In their opinion more harm than good would come from the publication of the article at that A! 1 A. ! 1. - 1 J If. lime, ana it was accordingly wunueiu. xio advocates the division of employes into a temporary and permanent service, the former being probationary and a step to roinotion. Tne permanent service should lave certain rights and privileges which would cause it to be eagerly sought such as freedom from fear of unjust dismissal; a tribunal where tho employe can be heard in nis own aeiense; tne possiDiury oi rising to any position: insurance and pension funds, and an active voice in the management oi tne road tnrongn a representative system resulting in a council of employes. who would act through a small executive committee. The building of an ocean steamship is de scribed in an interesting way by William H. Rideing. The article is illustrated with drawings from the City of New York as it was in process of construction. Another illustrated paper is Wm. Williams's graphic account of climbing Mount St. Elias. Airs. Fields, in "A Second Shelf of Old Books," relates some pleasant reminiscences of Sir Walter hcott. Dr. John lirown, Le vjuincy and John Wilson. Thomas Dwight discusses "The Anatomy of tho Contortionist" Some very unpleasant illustrations accompany the article. The closing paper is an essay on "hakspeare's English Kings," by Walter Pates. Elsie Kendal. Louise Imogen Guiney, CeliaThaxtcr and A. Lampman are the poets of the number. The April Magazine of Art opens with an account by' Mrs. M. G. Van Rensselaer, of Washington Allston and his works. Allston was one of tho few distinctively Ameri can artists of the early part of the century. and while his pictures are not great he was a man of high artistio gifts and a worthy pioneer in the field so well filled in later years. Leader Scott tells in a chapter en titled "lhe Romance of Art." how Raphael nuarreled with the Marchcsa. H. Seymour I rower writes about Japanese "JNetsukes," which word, being interpreted, is discovered to mean an article made in odd and grotesque forms for the purpose of holding medi cine-box. pipe-case, tobacco pouch, etc. Other contributions are: At tne Aiasrers," oyrreuencK weumare; "The Isle of Arran," by Miss L. C. Higgin; "Illustrated Journalism m England." by C. N. Williamson, and uneco-Roman Por traiture in Egypt." by John Forbes-Robert son. The frontispiece of the number is an engraving of Greuze's picture. "Tho Dead Bird." The Business Woman's Journal is the title of a new bi-monthly magazine pub lished by Mary F. Seymour, a successful business woman, of New York. As might be expected, it is very practical in character, tne aim oeing to am, oy aavice ana suggestion, women engaged, or who wish to engage in money-making avocations. Younc women of this class may derive much oenefit from reading the "Practical Hints to Students of StenograDhT" and the "Homely Hints to Young Women in Business. Other contributions are: "How Poor Girls May Learn a Profession." "Sketches of Pennsylvania Coal-mining Life," with an account of the life of miners' wives. "Women in the Offices of Civil Engineers." and a biographical sketch of Mrs. Mary A, Woodbridge. recording secretary of the National W. C. T. U. A portrait of Mrs. Woodbridge forms the frontispiece. 56 Park row, New l ork. General Sherman, who has become a fre quent contributor to the North American Review, writes in ,the March number of "Old Times in California." "Political Crimes" are considered by Logan H. Roots and Senator Jones of Arkansas, under the respective titles. "Assassination as a Politlitical Argument" and "Was Clayton's Murder a Political Crime!" Other contributions are: "Humanity: Gain from Unbelief." by Charles Bradlaugh; "Delia 15acon's unhappy Storv " bv Ignatius Donnellv: "Legislative Injustice to Hallways7 by Henry Grant Allen, and "Does American t arming Pay!" by George B. Loring. The Rev. Minot J. Savage, Rev. Edward Everett Hale and Rev. Washington Gladden dis cuss tho question. "Can Our Churches Be Made More useljiiT" Arthur Sherburne Hardy's serial, "Passe Rose," which is concluded in the April num ber of the Atlantic, is an artistio romance. and satisfactory even in its close, a feature not common to his novels.

Specimen sheets of the Century Diction ary indicate that it will be a very complete and satisfactory work. It is encyclopedic in character, going into further particulars than mere definition of words; but does not include biographical and geographical in formation. One admirable feature is the entry of everything in one alphabetical or derabbreviations, toreign phrases, as well as common words. Tho editor-in-chief of the dictionary is Prof. William Dwight Whitney, one of the highest authorities in the world in the science of language.

MOST NUTRITIOUS. I3A111ES AD TINS. A Murderous Invention That Too Often Does Terrible Work in a Child's Stomach. Philadelphia Inquirer. That murderous invention, the pin, the terror of every household in which then) is a babv, was the cause of great alarm in the homo of Dr. Yearsley, on Tuesday night. The Doctor's infant son was suddenly seized with a fit of violent coughing. Repeated and terrible paroxysms were suffered in tho course of half an hour, dnring which timo the child bled freely from the nose and mouth as though from hemorrhage. X linal fearful fit of coughing throw forth a common pin, which had evidently been lodged in the child's stomach. The expulsion of the torturous instrument caused almost instant relief, and the child appears to be in no further danger, although its abdomen cannot be touched without causing a cry of pam. 'There should be a decree of banishment for the pin," says the doctor. "In every household babies 'die many tims their death,' as it were, in the continual dread inflicted upon their fearful parents. Tho pin should be placed on the list with the car stove, grade crossing and other murderous institutions and banished. There is no greater cause of fear in all babylaud, not even ail the diseases put together, than the pin. No amount of care will keep tho thing out of a baby's mouth, and parents who think they can bo moio careful" than all others, at some timo or other during the lirst two years of their baby's life, will find a pin in his mouth. The3' can exclude pins from the house if they choose, but some ono else who carries them wilt drop one on the lloor. No one knows how it gets there, but it does travel from the pm manufactory directly into tho baby's mouth every time. "It may seem like a stupendous undertaking to get rid of a thing so universal as the pin. Its history dates back to the lirst time mortal man ever invented a way to fasten two things together, lint in this age it is time for us, particularly the ladies, to rind a way of dressing that will do away with the necessity of such a thing as tho pin in any part of tneir dress. If they will put a button or other fastening in every possible place where pins now go, tho doctors will not have to be called somewhere every day in the week to treat a pin-mutilated baby." TTJMIJLED OUT OF LOVE. A Young Squire's Eccentric Method of Breaking a Marriage EDgagemeuU Liverpool Courier. We are promised a breach-of -promise rase with some elements of freshness in it. Tho Srincinals live in Devonshire, where the efendant owns property. In 1SS5 he 1kcame attached to the plaintiff, one of the many daughters of a bishop. lie made his offer and was accepted. "The wedding day appointed was, and wedding clothes provided," but before the date was reached the bridegroom-elect got a bad spill in tho hunt 1114 field. He was laid np a long time, and when he was able to go about again the doctors ordered him a long sea voyage. Ho was away nearly two years, spending a good deal of his time in Australia, and did not return to his Devonshire home until about eighteen months ago. He invited his lady love, her family and others of her acquaintance to a garden party last May. Ho received them in a suit of chain armor, and the guests found themselves in company of a policeman from tho village, a postman: the estate laborers and tbeir families aud others. Music was supplied by an orgau grinder, hired for the occasion. The amusement was a series of wheelbarrow races, with the ladies of lower degree seated in the vehicles, and before the the bishop and his family retired their hostt lifting his vizor, announced his intention to keep house in this good old fashion of bringing the poor and their betters together in social union. His coudnct became bo glaring that the young lady's parents, after having obtained medical opinion to the effect that the hunting fall luust have permanently aflected the young Squire's head, wrote withdrawing their consent to the marriage in tho interest of their daughter's happiness. The letter was acknowledged in curt, but perfectly collected terms, the vagaries and absurdities of tho defendant ceased forthwith, and he resumed his natural habits and ntterance, and when last October a lady whom he married in Australia arrived on the scene, nobody could doubt the perfect sanity with which he introduced her as his wife. The claim for damages is based on the plea that the defendant obtained his release from the engagement by false pretenses, and by all accounts the details of his alleged shifts and dodges will make a most comic chapter of amorous evasion. Cold Hatha for Typhoid Fever. Philadelphia Record. Dr. Simon Branch, attending physician to the Manhattan General Hospital, published a paper in the Medical Record on the treatment of typoid fever which advocates tho abandonment of the present method of treatment, and tho substitution of tho cold-bath treatment as successfully practiced in the German military hospitals. Without burdening the reader with the methods of the cold-water system, which are the province of the physician, it is worth while to note the valuable results attained. Out of VJ.017 cases treated with "all kinds of cold baths," there was a mortality of 7.9 per cent Out of 2,841 cases in which the treatment was "intermediate, with water," the mortality was 12.2 per cent Out of 2.PJS cases treated with "strict cold baths," tho mortality was 1.7 per cent, and in the same cases 2,150 patients who were treated before tho disease had progressed five days all recovered.
