A Case- Where an Agriculturist Saved 82.500 Through Havlnjr Conscientious Scrapie. Fpeeial to the Indianape Journal. Delphi. April 30. Ten days a&o a finelooking man called at the residence of Mr. Robert Fisher, a prominent resident of this county, and opened negotiations for the purchase of his farm. He represented himself as a son-in-law of Moses Fowler, of Lafayette, and stated that be desired to purchase the farm for a widow at that place. He left after making some inquiries, and last Friday returned again, examined the farm and all the buildings carefully, even point? into the cellar. The man gave the name of Graham. In going to the north part of the farm Graham proposed that they drive over in Lis buggy, which proposition was accepted. They had gone lmt a short distance, where they met a third party on foot. Tho fellow was coarsely dressed, pretended to be silly, exhibited immense rolls of money, and stated that he had been beaten out of $1,0U) in Chicago with cards, but that he Lad tho ' card, ami was going back to Tennessee, where he would "get even" by playing the trick on his neishbors. Ho then produced three e-arela. and liraham won '0 iu betting lie tould tufn up the right card. The fellow, in his semi-idiotic character, wanted to bet Graham and Mr. Fisher $5,000 that neither one of them "could pick out the red card." Graham retired with Mr. Fisher. opieared to be greatly excited, hn'uX they might as well have that &,000 a9 any one else, and suggested that he (Graham) could raise $'2,4JO of the $.",000. Mr. Fisher stated that liio"ccnck'nco would not permit him to rise money secured in that way and no persuasion tould induce him to join in the scheme, Graham took his confederate into bin buggy and brought him to Delphi, telling Fisher that he would have him examined as to his mental condition and have the money deposited in one of the banks. Tho strange part about the whole thing is that so skillfully was the job worked that Mr. Fisher did not sus-. pect that tho whole thing was a scheme to defraud him until several hours after it was all over. Rut for his native honesty he would have lost 'J,'AX). From descriptions that have been given it is thought that Graham is none other than the notorious Dancribner, who, some time ago. worked a Wabash county farmer cut of 0,000. A Letter from Jtfrs.

QUESTIONING MR. PARNELL

The Irish Leader Put on the WitnessStand and Sharply Interrogated. He Was Xever a Member of a Secret Society, Knew Nothing About Plans of the Fenians, and Was Not a Partv to Certain Outrages THK PAKNLLL COMMISSION. The Irish Chief Denies Complicity In, or Knowledge of Many ORene. London, April SO. The Parntll commis sion resumed its sitting to-day. There was a moderate attendance in the court-room. Mr. Parnell was called to give his evidence. He took his seat iu the .witness-stand, and gave his testimony in a clear voice and in a deliberate manner. He testified that he did not know Peter Delancey was connected with the Amnesty Association. He had never heard of any attempt being made on Mr. Justice Lawson's life. He was never a member of a secret society. Although the late Mr. Forster did not know Mr. Biggar was a Fenian until 1377, he advised Mr. Biggar to resign his seat in Parliament, but Mr. Biggar refused. Mr. Parnell said ho did not communicate with Ford or. Fenian convicts in America, neither did he meet them there. He tirst heard oftfthe Clan-na-Gael in America. Ho doubted that the convention at Cincinnati advocated the destruction of the link between England and Ireland, which was so opposed to his opinion. He did not leave his interests in America in the hands of Ford and Fenians, but iu tho hands of Mr. Dillon and a bodv represent ing the party co-operating in America with a party in Ireland. He had urged boycotting under certain conditions, but never intimidation.! Mr. Parnell forgot the alleged interview with LeUaron in lbSl. He said it might have occurred. Ho had not said he oelieved that only force would redeem Ireland. He did not doubt that by constitu tional parliamentary action the Irish leaders would succeed. He never suggested a revolution, nor discussed the means by which a revolution could be effected. He had not been atked to authorize the payment of 20.000 to "remove" officials. He had never sanctioned outrages. He did not know of payments for the committal of outrages. He did not approve of a suggestion by Mr. Egaii that Earl Cowper, Mr. Forster. Under Secretary liurke. Justice Lawson, and many others bo "removed." lie could not nave approved of such a suggestion, Mr. Egan never having made it. He had never heard profiosals from any quarter for the "removal" meaning murder) of Earl Cooper, Mr. Forster and others. Mr. Parnell did not know of the exist ence of the Invincible conspiracy until after his arrest in 1883. when he was liberated from Kilmainhamjail on parole to attend the funeral of his nephew in Paris. He met in Paris Justin McCarthy and Messrs. Quinn and Byrne. He did not know that llyrno had been a Fenian. He did not, communicate with Mr. Egan, directly or indirectly, while he was in Paris, thinking that his parole precluded communications with any of bis political friends. He had always regarded the Phoenix Park murders as the greatest possible calamity to Ire land. He had never been able to obtain the slightest evidence connecting the league with those murders, excepting un reliable statements made by tho informer. Carey, lledld not believe the stories about Mr. Egan supplying the Invinciblca from the league iunds. The payment of 1100 to Mr. liryne was made in response to a letter asking for an advance for the purposes of the Land and Labor League, and not for tho purpose of enabling him to make his escape. He had not the slightest suspicion that Mr. liryne was engaged in any conspiracy. THE BIOT AT CIIIN-KIANG. A Description from the American Consul Investigating the Disorder. St. Paul. April SO. In a private letter to Judge Flandercau, of this city, (Jen. A. C. Jones, United States consul at Chin-Kiang, gives the following graphio account of the riot and rapine attending the outbreak of natives last month: "I suppose you have seen the telegrams anent the riots at Chin-Kiang. It was a surprising experience. On tho afternoon of the day of the riot my wife and myself were up on the hills, a mile from the settlement, to say good-bye to an American missionary family that were going to leave for their homes in the United States by the steamer that night. It was between 4 and 5 o'clock when we left them. As we approached the consulate, 1 was greatly surprised to see immense crowds of people on the roads. Arrived at the house, I found my servants under excitement, and sent for my interpreter. I then learned that a rabble of boys had just stoned a Sikh policeman, aud that large crowds were tending toward the police station. . At this time a man was thrown on tho street, near my SI ace, who, it was said, had been killed by ikh. This added fuel to the Uame. Tho crowds became more excited and greater in number. The men jiiued the boys, and a rush was made for the police station, which was M tacked and set on lire, the Sikh policemen escaping to tho boats in the river. "It was then night, dark and cold, threatening snow. In the meantime 1 had sent a messenger to the Yamen, explaining the trouble and asking for assistance to quell tho mob. They had found a lot of kerosene at the police station, and being by this time thoroughly excited, attacked and sot on lire a row of three now buildings. The situation then looked serions. I sent to the Chinese and Tartar generals for troops. It was then between 7 and 8 o'clock. Four buildings were ou lire, aud tho night was made hideous by the frantio yells of the rioters. The arrival of SOU soldiers encouraged me. 1 went out in tho midst of yells and missiles and told the officer to charge tho crowd with the bayonet and drive them back, to fire upon them. He did neither. The officer attempted to harangue them and was pushed aside, his voice being drowned in the yells of 20,000 mad people, and then, in tho presence of the troops, they rushed to the attack upon the consulate. Seeing thai no eHorts'of mine would avail, aud that my gates aud walls would not hold, I gathered un my little daughter in my arms, and with mv wife scrambled over an intervening wall into the British consular grounds. A stone knocked oft my hat. which had it struck her, would have killed my child; had it hit me I could not have got away. There I fonnd the British con sul, wife and two children. His gates were yielding to the mob. We climbed the steep hill at tho rear, carrying our children and helping by the hands our wives, aud so rapid were events that before, we were half way upourescane was im perilled by the light of the conllagration of tne consulates. v e reacneu tne top. However, without being discovered, climbed nn eight-foot wall, made our descent on the other side without difficulty, and reached the river bank and the mail steamer that bad come from a- lower landing to our relief not a moment too soon. The mob had discovered us at last and made a rush to take the pontoon bridge. The drawbridge was raised, the hot-water hose was got out, aud we were saved. "The whole of the foreign population, men, women and children, we found before us on this steamer. Our arrival was hailed with exclamations of relief, for tho British consul and mj'self were cut off from our friends by a mob of between 20,000 and W,Oou rioters. From the deck of the steamer we saw the burning buildings and heard the wild yells of the mad devils at their work of destruction. In tho morning they made three attempts to take tbe steamer, but failed. Three houses were tired in tho lower part of the settlement, aud this drew the crowd away. Before they could return a Manclin general and a brigade of troops . from a neighboring fort arrived and took possession of the town. Twelve buildings were destroyed iby fire, the British consulate among them. My consulate was sacked and stripped of everything it contained except a large American safe, which the mob could not carij away and could not open. "Wo got away with the clothes we stood in. My consulate was set on tire iu two places, but in some way was not consumed. All the women aud children went on the steamer to Shanghai. My family are still there. "Now we are in the midst of examinations and executions. The neads lly, and

then the reparation. I have orders to settle the claims for damages here without reference to Pekin or Washington. The Viceroy and olhcials are anxious to settle here promptly and fully." A YANKEE QUEEN. The Suggestion that Prince Albert Victor Should Marry an American Girl. Ifew York. Tribune's London Special. Ttfo subjects are said to occupy the Queen's mind a financial settlement for the eldest son of the Prince of Wales, Prince Albert Victor, commonly called Priuco Eddie, ami his marriage. This prince is now tweuty-iive 3-ears old, and has no separate establishment, no income of his own. no wife and no immediate prospects TJrV marrying. No minister has yet ventured to ask Parliament for an allowance. There would be opposition, and rather than face the discussion which is sure to be raised, the Prince of "Wales himself is opposed to an application till his son marries. Ashe must marry a Protestant, his choice amoug the European daughters of royalty is strictly limited. None of them seems a favorite. In these circumstances Sir Edward Sullivan has conceived the notion that the Prince should marry au American. Why should ho notf asks Sir Edward: and ho proceeds to argue the question at length. Such an alliance, he thinks, would bring about a closer intimacy betw een the two nations. Americans, in his opinion, would like to see one of Columbia's daughters feharing the throne of England-he had better havo said tbe prospect of tho throne and thirty-four millions in England would weleomo with delight a Queen of their own blood, breed nnd speech. Sir Edward, like most Englishmen admiren the American girl, and the" American people generally. He believes the two great English-speaking peoples destined to rule the world, and advocates such a marriage on international and political grounds. This suggestion has been heard before, but perhaps nobody has seriously urged it except Sir Edward Sullivan. So strong is the feeling in England against more AngloGerman marriages that an Anglo-American alliauce might well enough be popular for that, as for many other reasons. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

It was a New York young man who rang up the obiect of his afleetioua with tbe tele phone while a hated rival a youth from Philadelphia was trying to entertain her in the parlor, proposed, was accented, and ten minutes later sent a district messenger bov around with the ring. This wa enterprise, and the lady recognized it. The Bos ton man's eflort was 6implv rashness: he might as well have given his lawyer power of attorney, and sent him to ask the "low. sweet q lewtion."

AN UNWRITTEN HISTORY

Many Will Head Between the Lines. A History painfully Familiar to Many of Our Headers The Story As It Was Told to the Writer. "If standing behind a counter is as distasteful to the many salesladies of onr city as it was to me the year 1 put in behind the counter, there would be very few clerks in our stores. I would rather do a hard da3's washing than to bo compelled to stay housed up in a store. In fact, I am positive that it was the cause of a complication of trouble that finally ended in a bad case of typhoid fever for me about a year ago," said Mrs. Amelia Gass Elwaruer to the writer during a recent interview. "I do not believe I have ever, fully recovered from the effects of it, and while I was yet COMPELLED TO KKEP MY ROOM I found that there were other afflictions developing themselves. I first noticed that it was impossible for me to lay upon my left side, and I would havo a sharp shooting pain through my left side, and the heavy feeling just above my eyes developed into an intense pain. My head MKS. AMELIA GASS ELWARXEft, 155 Prospect street. seemed so full and heavy it made mo tired to hold it up, and a dull aching pain across the back of mv neck bothered me creatly. Then my uoaji began to stop up and my head would swim round and round, and my eyes would TWITCH AND JERK until I would have to hold them to rest them. They would water freely upon the least exposure. I hawked and spit up a gTeat deal of thick tenacious mucus, ana l seemed to take cold so easy. At every recurrinc cold mv head and heart sot worse. The rjain in mv heart cot so bad it would cause smoothenng spells, and it would reel as though my heart was getting up into my throat, and my stomaeh seemed to be in lnllsvmnathv with my trouble. lor l count scarcely eat anything, and when I did eat a little I felt sick and nauseated. With this loss of appetite came loss of sleep and restlessness. 1 would get so NERVOUS AND FIDGITY at times that it was impossible for mo to content myself any place, they told me I had heart disease, lung disease, and everything elrt, but I was not satisfied until I called at the Blair Treatment office. Tho Doctor examined me and told me frankly what he thought my trouble was and what he thought he could do for me. His price was reasonable aim nis statements Htraigur.forward. and 1 determined to try the lreatmeut. This was some three months ago. 1 am satisbed that he diairnosed my case properly and the treatment was right, for 1 am i'eeline like another person. The nain about my heart and in my head has left me entirely. My head is clear and my appetite and rest are excellent, and l nave no hesitancy iu recommending the Treatment to all who suiter as I did." Sirs.

Nearly one-half of the entire revenue of the State of Indiana is now required to meet tho interest of the Htate debt. That is the result of having a Democratic Legis lature for six years. The preeeding Republican Legislature had greatly reduced the debt and provided for lis extinguishment bv 1W. lut in lbS2 a lleinocratic Legis lature was elected, and thou began a career of recklessness, extravagance, and dishon esty that has plunged the Mate more lieavllv in debt than ever, and created & deficit of SJ.OUO.ooo or more in the reveuues. Tho btate is now borrowing from ?.A0,000 to fr.W.OOOa year to pay current expenses. The late session of the Legislature authorized a new loan, 'which has just been declared illegal by tbs SNipreuio Uonrt, aud tne institutions of the htate are so bankrupted that an extra ses sion will have to be called to borrow more money. In this and other respects the rec ord of Democratic mismanagement during the past six years has so incensed the people of Indiana that even leading Demo crats concede as inevitable the election of a Republican Legislature this fall. The present Democratic Legislature will go down into history as the most scandalously ineilicienr. partisan and revolutionary body of tho kind that ever sat iu any Northern fctate. The Democratic majority was only two on joint ballot, hut this was somewhat increased by "unseating honestly-elected Republicans. This narrow majority tho Republicans will have littlo dititculty in overcoming, and then th State will be redistruted in nn honeit manner so that the majority party can hold its own thereafter." The reputation of Ay er's Sarsaparillaasa blood medicine, is maintained by daily cures. SOCIKTY MEETINGS.
