THEY LET BOSTON HAVE ONE

Burdick's Pitching and Two Errors Tut the Home Team at a Disadvantage. the Iloosiers, HoweTcr, Maintained Their Good Batting Record and Tlajed Well in the Field Sporting Events in Other Cities. HASE-UAXL, ITeak Pitching and Costly Error Iefet the Iloosiers. The loss of the final game rith the Boston team, at the League Park, yesterday afternoon, was da to the poor work of Burdick and costly errors by Hines and Buckley in the fourth inning. It was really the easiest one of the series to win, and had Boyle, or Getzein, or even Rusie been in the box from the start the Iloosiers would, no doubt, liave made it four straight. Madden, who pitched for the visitors, was both wild and ineffective, sending six men to lirst on balls and allowing the local team to make eleven hits, including a double, a triple, and a home run. The fine batting was supplemented with good fielding, excepting the errors mentioned. Sullivan made a great catch of a long fly from Richardson' bat,, ' and McGeachy and Denny accomplished , a brilliant double play, the little right fielder throwing out Broathers at third base after taking a high, fly over near the bleaching boards. Hines had an off day both at the bat and on first base. It was his error that made it possible for Brown to score in the first inning, andhia muff of Denny's assist of Nash's grounder in the fourth really cost the six runs made ' at that point of the game. However, had Burdick done better work the result might have been difterent. It was the intention to put Boyle in, but just before the game, and while he was practicing, his arm commenced to hurt him, and he asked to be excused from pitching. Manager Bancroft was very much disappointed, as Boyle had been advertised to pitch and the crowd expected to see him in the box. Burdick was hit hard in the second and fourth innings, and his delivery was so slow that second bane was stolen with eas,e. As usual, the Iloosiers hit the ball hard and often and started otf as if tbey were sure winners. Madden was wild and gave fceery his base on balls in the first inning. A wild pitch let him to second, au out to third and a sacrifice across the plate. The visitors tied this by means of a base on balls, a muff by Hines and two sacrifice hit9. The Iloosiers immediately forged, ahead in the second, earning two runs on McGeacby'a single, Bassett'a triple and a hit by Burdick. Boston also sent two men across the plate in their half of the inning after one man was out. Nash made a single, as did Quinn, the first named going to third. Quinn stole second, and both came home on Madden's single after Ganzell had been retired. The third was a blank for both sides, but the fourth was a disastrous one for the lecal team. Hines niuifed Denny's assist and Nash was safe. (juiun made a hit, and both moved up a base on Ganzell's sacrifice. Madden hit, and Nash scored. Brown cot his base on balls and stole second. Johnston flew out to McGeachy. Kelly made a single, and Brouthers followed with a home run hit over the fence. Denny retired the side by throwing Richardson out at first. In the fifth, Iudianapolis earned a run on Sullivan's single andDcnnv's double. Rusie replaced Burdick in the fifth, and the visitors got nothing. In the sixth, Bassett made a hit, but was forced out by Seery, after Knsie Lad gone out on a fiy to Qninu. Then Glasscock knocked the ball over left field fence. Madden was more effective after this, and the iloosiers failed to score again. Brown made a bit in the sixth, but Johnston struck out. and Kelly went ont from Glasscock to Hines, Madden having been previously retired on a grounder to first. , Brouthers led oft with fine double in the seventh, but when bo tried to eo to third on Richardson's lly to right McGeachy, by a unniani piay, inrew mm ont at that base. Nash went out from Bassett to Hines. Oainn made a two-base-hit in the eighth. went 10 tniru on an out, ana scored ou Brown's fly to Seery. Johnston fouled out to Myers, who replaced Buckley in the fifth, the latter being injured slightly. Altogether. Rusie Ditched snlendidlv. Only three hits were made otf him in four jnnmgs, anu ne aispiayea gooa command ot tho ball, giving but one a base through wildness. He made a single, and had one assist. 1 he score:

Eighty-Five Thousand Acres of Swamp Land Successfully Reclaimed in Northern Indiana, Fort Wayne, lnd., June 27. The largest contract for the drainage of swamp land undertaken in America for many, years, was brought to a successful termination this week iu Indiana, Eighteen thousand acres of land, which was continually covered with water, and was absolutely worthless, has been reclaimed. Seventeen thousand acres more that could be utilized only in the very driest seasons has been mado arable, and fifty thousand acres of farm land have been likewise affected and substantially benefited. The immense tract referred to lies in Allen and Huntington connties, between the cities of Fort Wayne and Huntington. It is a vast swamp, and is crossed by the main lino of tho Wabash railway, and ,ext ends for nearly n milo on eitller side of the track for a distance of perhaps . seven miles. Its dismal appearance is familiar to travelers. In Hood seas ns tho water frequently submerges the tri'ck, and trainmen have often been stationed on the engine pilots with pike-poles in their hands to c ear tho rails of lloating driftwood. Oftentimes the locomotive' fires have been extinguished, and the railroad has been obstructed for hours. The swamp is known as the Little Kiver prairie, and it is the principal source of supply for the upper branch of the Wabash river. The contract for the drainage and rock excavation was let in July, 1SST, for $137,010, to ten Fort Wayne gentlemen, who formed tho Little Kiver Ditching Company. Tho plan of drainage has necessitated the construction of forty miles of ditches and canals and an excavation of over a milo through a solid limestone ledge, which has been the impregnable barrier to the liow of the water from tho great basin. Careful estimates show that the water has been reduced to an average of seven feet over the whole of the sunken tract. What was onco a wild, disease-breeding swamp i3 now taking on the appearance of a fertile and beautiful valley. Largo amounts of timber have been cut and worked up into lumber, staves, heading, etc. Fences have been built, and the whole of the immense tract that was without any sign of ownership four years ago promises better returns to the farmer than any other land. Although the ditches were not nearly completed last year, two hundred acres were cropped, and in every instance they showed that whether corn, rye, timothy, potatoes, celcrj- or root crops wero planted or sown a bountiful harvest would result. This year over one thousand acres have been put in various kinds of crops, aud more tile drains have been put down than in all time before. In tho pioveention of the big contract tho Littlo Kiver Ditching Company employed four steam dredges, four stone derricks, two three million-gallon numps, two pumping engines, two drilling boilers, seven steam rock drills andtwentyfive tons of dynamite. There were over two thousand days of team work and about an equal amount of work forthe gangsof woodcnoppers and drift men. Kock excavation has only been done within the past twelve months. The swamp has been for all time a terrible breeder of ague and chills. The excellent sanitary results of the drainage are already felt in the neighboring country aud in the two cities named. Wife Murderer llanged. Patkrsox, N. J.. June 27. Tunis Labo was hanged in tho couuty jail at D:15 this morning lor tho murder of 1ns wife. Last night the murderer wrote a farewell letter, in which he forgave everybody, and expressed the hopo that everybody would torsive him.

TIIE ACT, ASA WHOLE, FALLS

Reporter Griffiths Free from the Restric tions Democrats Placed on IUiil When a Law Toid in Part Cannot Be Enforced Without the Defective Section, All of It Fails-Other Court Matters. Tho Snpreme Conrt yesterday handed down a decision in the case of the State ex reL John L. Griffiths, Reporter of the Su preme Court, versus Charles F. Griffin, Sec retary of State, involving a question as to the validity of the act passed by the last General Assembly changing the duties and pay of the Keporter. The principal feature of the act was the attempt to impose on the Supreme Judges the duty of preparing the syllabi. Several weeks ago the court held that section to be in violation of the Constitution. The only question, therefore, to be decided in this suit was whether or not the entire act was void on account of the section seeking to impose the additional duties upon the judges being unconstitutional. The opinion, written by Chief-justice Elliott, and concurred in by all the judges, is to the effect that tho . entire act is invalidated, and that the Reporter and the Secretary of State must proceed under the acts governing their official duties passed prior to March 4, 1889. The judges say t hey think the act is clearly destitute of validity. It is quite apparent, they maintain, that it attempted to establish an entirely new system of Supreme Court reporting, and tne special feature intended to be introduced by it was clearly in violation of tho Constitution. That being the case the whole arrangement was carried down. It assumed to change the former system by imposing upon the Supremo Judges tho duty of preparing the syllabi. That was the key -stone to tho whole legislation proposed.and its removal, like the removal of the key-stone of an , arch, causes the whole to crumble and fall. It would be impossible to enforco the act with judicial legislation, since reports without syllabi were unknown to the law, and it could not rationally be conceived that tho Legislature intended to provide for a system of reporting with the essential and indispensiable features absent. Tho error of the Legislatnre consisted in assuming that tho duty of preparing the head notes could be imposed upon the judges. The provision assuming to compel the judges to prepare tho syllabi was so interlocked and blended with others as to make separation impossible. It was established law that where an act could be separated some parts of it could stand and others fall, but in this case the various provisions were so blended as to admit of no separation. As a result of the decision Secretary of State Xiriffin will receive, under the old law, the live hundred volumes of reports recently tendered him by Keporter Griffiths, and the Keporter will continue to prepare tho syllabi, and receive compensation from tho sale of tho reports, as his predecessors have done. As tho act originated among a few enemies of Mr. Griffiths, its downfall is pleasing to many people of both political parties. Trying Election Caned. The election cases in the United States Court are being rapidly tried. Two of tho most important were concluded yesterday, and in each the result was an acquittal of tho accused. William Owen, of Hamilton county, charged with bribery, was acquitted by the jury without leaving its box, there beiug absolutely no proof of his guilt. Argument in the case of Fanner Fisher, of Shelby county, also charged with bribery, occupied most of tho day. The specific accusation was that Fisher had purchased the vote of David K. Cotton, paying him 9 therefor. The speech of Mr. Chambers was the ablest .and most convincing he has made since ho took tho office. Tho jury retired at 3 o'clock, and after being out a couple of hours returned a verdict of not guilty. After tho Fisher case went to the iurv that in which Harry Fogel, of Iirookville, is defendant, on the charge of voting beforo ho reached the age of twenty-one. was placed on trial. Tho evidence was nearly all heard. As soon as that case is concluded Andrew J. Glcason will be tried for. swearing in Fogel's vote. The accused are both Democrats. Tho case against William Anderson, the Democratic election inspector at Acton, who was charged with receiving a vote over a challenge, was nollied by the district attorney. Anderson, according to his own admission, was technically guilty, but as the man whose vote ho received was a .legal voter in tho precinct. Mr. Chambers decided to throw tho case out of court. Mr. Anderson is a respected citizen of Acton, and took the vote in ignorance of the law. Au Old Cane Settled. The long-pending litigation involving the title to the real cstato situated in Bruces addition to Iudianapolis was ended yesterday by a decision of the Supreme Court in favor of the present holders of the property. The suit was tho one in which James A. iJrnco was plaintiff and George P. Bissell and others, defendants. A testator devised lands to hia daughter during her life, provided she should bo living at the time of his death, but after her death the property was to go to her child or children. Another provision was that. in the event tho daughter should be living at the death of the father, but had no children, then she was to have the land during her lifetime with remainder over to his right hens in fee. It happened that tho daughter survived her father afew days, leaving one son who died leaving an heir, who, in turn, died childless, leaving the land, under statute, to his great-grandmother, next to him. The land was gradually sold to more than one hundred per sons, and years after the sales other mem-' bers of the liruce 1310113 came forward and claimed that, they were tho rightful heirs. The controversy was in the county courts a long time, and its settlement will bo a great relief to the residents of Bruce Place. Ilenfton ar the Gallows. William Benson, of Clark county, sentenced to bo banged in August, has been refused a new trial by the Supreme Court, and the only way he can now escape the penalty of death is through interference by the Governor. The hauging, if it oc curs, will be the first under the regulations of the now Liw, and will take place in the State Prison South. The crime of which Benson was convicted grew out of a love a 11 air. He was anxious to marry a j-oime woman, and when tdie became the wife or another he killed the husband and made an attempt to take the life of the woman, also. The Supremo Court was asked to grant a new trial on the ground that evidence was permitted to be given to the jury which was incompetent. It was claimed that the prosecution erred by introducing evidence as to au assault on tlic wife of tho murdered man after adopting the theory that the defendant committed the crime in order to remove an obstacle to his marringe. Tho court held that such evidence was competent. The friends of Benson will make an etlbrt to have Governor Hovey commute the sentence. The Jury Could Not Aree. The case of Khoda A. White, whose sanity has been in question, was before a jury in Judge Howland's room yesterday, but the jury disagreed and was discharged. The details of tho case havebesn thoroughly given heretofore. Mrs. White was ent otf at the death other husband, Kobert White, of any share in his real estate in fee simple, and iu taking her one-third, as allowed by law, two of her sons carried the matter to court, and by jury action found her mentally incapable of managing her estate. She, in return, filed proceedings to have this decision reversed, and it was upon this point that the present jury could not agree. Complaints for Divorce. Divorce cases wero again plentiful in the courts yesterday. Mary A. McGarrahan was separated from Thomas McGarrahan by Jmlge Walker, and given the custody of her children. Hhe brought charges of habitual drmiKcnness against her husband. Anna Amann was also before Judge Walker net itioninir for : riivnrrn from Frederick ii. Ainunn, but tho case was taken under ad-

In the case of the Board of Commissioners of Hancock County, State ex rel vs. Louis T. Michener, Attorney-general, the Sunreme Court holds that the State, on the . relation of the Attorney-general, may re cover penalties collected by a county on delinquent taxes. The opinion states that the penalty assessed on taxes levied for county purposes belongs to the county, while the penalty assessed on taxes levied for State purposes belongs to the gtate. Five-thirteenths of the penalty goes to tho State and eight-thirteenths to the county. Wills Admitted to Probate. ' The will of Louisa H. Canity was admitted to probate yesterday. It divides her property between the children of Chas. Canby, the late General's brother, Howard Canby, Katie Piatt and others indirectly related to her. Horace Speed and John Hawkins are named as her executors. The will of T. F. W. Meyers was also probated. It leaves all of his property to nis wife, Louisa Meyer, who is made his executrix.
