TIIE FIRE RECORD. The Absence of Adequate Fire Protection Causes a Large Loss at Edlnburg. Special to the IndlaiiapoUs Journal. Edinburg, Ind., July 18. Lack of any proper protection against fire is responsible for a heavy loss which occurred hero early this morning.

NEW WHEAT DISEASE.

An English Importation of Fungoid Growth That lias Made Its Appearance in Indiana. Enecial to tho IndlsnaiolU Journal Lafayette, Ind., July 13. Horace E. Stockbridge, Ph. 1)., director of tho government agricultural experiment station for Indiana, located at Purdue University, has been investigating a new wheat disease that has appeared in certain sections of tho State, particularly in Lagrange county, and which is ncriously affecting the wheat crop over considerable areas. Tho damage likely to be wrought by it and the rareness with which it occurs in this country seem to render a brief description of the infection of importance to the agn cultural community of the State. The diseaso is a fungoid growth, known as "bunt" or "6tinking smut" on account of its strong and disaereeablo odor. It is rarely foumi in America, but is not uncommon in England. The wheat head, on ripening, may possess a very nearly normal appearance, but on shelling, tho (Trains are found to be tilled with a black. greasy powder, the result of tho growth of the fungus, beginning with the very germi nation of the seed and keeping pace with the growth of the plant. Its action is no ruoro harmful than that of common smut. but its odor renders it more objectionable. Where not very abundant, it may be sepa rated from the good gram either by fanning or by washing. It is very apt to occur so abundantly in a field, however, as to render the en tire crop well nigh worthless. It does not spread in the field, but tho germs prodncing it adhere to the grain, and are thus sown with the seed, feeed-wheat may be freed from the spores by being soaked in a solution of blue vitriol (sulphate of copper) for thirty-six hours (four ounces of the sulphate to one gallon of water.) 1 he presence of this disease has but re cently been noticed within our State, but A . 1 1 A. A. A me inuiana agricultural experiment station has undertaken a thorough study and investigation of the subject. Toward this end Mr. btockbridge asks for any informa tion or facts pertaining to the disease or its occurrence. FINANCIALLY SOUND. Senator Washburn Is Not Embarrassed for Money as Stated bj His Political Enemies. New York, July 13. Stories which have been widely published over the country in reference to the financial embarrassments of Senator W. D. Washburn, of Minnesota, are made the subject of an authoritative statement here to-day by Thos. Lowry, of Minneapolis, who has been his business associate. Senator Washburn sailed for Europe on Wednesday before the publication of the stories affecting his credit. Answering an inquiry about the alleged sale of Senator Washburn's house to him for $40,000, .which tho Senator was said to require to nay interest on his debts. Mr. Lowry said: "There is no truth whatever in the statement. Senator Washburn's house is not deeded to me and never has been. I never loaned him $40,000 to pay interest on his loans, and never was advised that lie was in need of that amount for such a purpose. , As to buying the Senator's house, I can frankly say that it is about all I can do to support the one I now live in." "What is there about Senator Washburn's trouble!" "It has all passed. A few months ago he was somewhat embarrassed, owing to tho fact that his time was occupied in politics instead of paying close attention to his various business interests. He, however, Eroinptly converted securities which he ad in hand aud paid all maturing obligations. Senator Washburn is financially sound, aud his moral and personal integrity is such that he would sacrifice the last dollar he possessed, including his homestead and all personal possessions, to pay one hundred cents on the dollar. This ho wonld do, too, despite the efforts of political enemies to bring about a destruction of his credit, which has been attempted by the publication of these stories after he had sailed for Europe and when he could not reply to them." t Attempted Lynching; at Fairrille. Special to the IiidlaDapolls Journal Mariok, Ind., July 13.-Last night, at Fairville, ten miles northeast of here, a mob of fifty men made an unsuccessful effort to lynch Frank Brooks, a young man twenty-even years old.

Miss Palmer died of puerperal convulsions and was buried last Thursday. The mob that went after young lirooks last night was composed of the best farmers of Weils and Blackford counties. They made no concealment of their identity or mission. When they rode into town Brooks heard of their coming and went into hidlnc. and though they searched for him until 2 o'clock this morning, they were unable to tind him. Wheu they rode out of town they left notice to Brooks to leave town inside of twentyfour hours or they would return and string him up. Brooks reached here this morning on his way West, a badly frightened man. Tronbles of a Dead Millionaire's Daughter. New York, July 13. Alice 8.

Congress Failed to Trovlde Money for Protecting the Salmon Fisheries of Alaska. Washington, July 13. The Secretary of the Treasury nas received a letter from the collector of customs at Sitka, Alaska, in regard to the salmon fisheries of that Territory, in which he suggests that inasmuch as there aro now over forty fishing and canning corporations actively engaged in catching aud preparing salmon for market, distributed over a large area, that he bo authorized to visit such portions of tho Territory to seo that the laws for tbo protection of these fisheries are properly enforced. Ho has been informed, in reply that his request cannot be granted, because of the lack of appropriation out of which his expenses would be paid. It seems that while Congress passed ,the act for tho protection of tho salmon fisheries of Alaska, and to prevent the unauthorized killing of fnr-beanng animals in Alaska waters, it made no appropriation for carrying out such objects, no provision being made even for the publication of the President's proclamation on the subject, as prescribed by the act.

The Fostmaster-gen-eral gives out the following cencerning the report that he made an order reducing the rate on government telegraph from 1 cent to 1 mill per word. He says that he had suggested this rate and notified the telegraph companies to this effect. To some of the companies, objecting to the rate, ho had written a letter which stated, among other things: I desire to say that the rate proposed was iixed upon information furnished to this department that your company has leen making rates to various large corporations that arc, in tome instances, as low as the lieuro now proposed for the government service. With the notice of this,fact, I would not be justified in making for the government a new contract at higher rates than were charged other patrons, especially so in view of the privileges and benefits extended to your company by acts of Congress. 1 submit to jour own sense of right that the government, under existing conditions, is entitled to the minimum rates."

Among the recent publications issued by the Department of Agriculture Is a sixteen-page pamphlet (farmers bulletin No. 1), emanating from tho office of the experiment stations (of this department, Prof. W. O. Atwater, director, which tells what the experiment stations are, what they do and how they do it. From this bulletin it is learned that in the magnitude of this Bcieutitio work undertaken for the benefit of the fanners, the United states outstrips any other nation in the world, and that although this line of scientific work was begun in this country only fourteen years ago, many of the stations have already saved to the farmers more than the cost of the maintenance by the results of their investigations in a single line of work. A very larjre edition of this bulletin has been Issued in anticipation of wide spread demand for the valuable information thus compressed into a few pages. Redemption of Mutilated Greenbacks. Washington, July 13. The United States Treasurer has ordered that iu the future the redemption of legal-tender notes by the Treasury Department shall bo made on the basis of the three-flf ths rule in vogue iu the redemption of national bank note. Heretofore the former were redeemed ou the basis of the tenths, that is, a mutilated note was redeemed at a value proportionate to the part presented, counting in tenths. Under the three-fifths rnle, if that part of a note is presented, it is redeemed at its full face value, but if less than three-fifths is handed in nothing Is paid unless an anidavit is filed, together w ith evidence to support tho claim, that the missing portion of the note has been destroyed. Thus, under this rule, the person presenting the note gets all or nothing, instead of a proportionate number of tenths of the full value. Ought to Ship In American Vessels. Washington, July 13. Minister Kyan recently reported to the Stute Department that there was much dissatisfaction in Mexico relative to the practice of assessing goods arriving at American ports on Moxican vessels at tho rate of 10 per cent. In excess of the regular duties. The minister's letter was referred to the Treasury Department, and the State Department has Just received an answer, which states that the additional duty of 10 per cent, is always assessed on goods arriving in the country on foreign vessels, unless the country to which the vessels belong have a treaty stipulation with the United States covering this point. Goods imjwrted on United States vessels are exempt from the additional duty. Senator Manderson and the Supreme Bench. Special to tho JiitliaaapoiiA Journal Washington, July 13.

A SENSATIONAL PASTOR. He Lihels the Women of an Iowa Town and Is Compelled to Flee from Their Wrath. Davexport, July 13. Le Claire is a river town t welve miles north of here, noted for tho number of steamboat and raftmen who live and congregate there. It is agitated nowfas it has never been before by a sweeping charge made by the Presbyterian minister from the pulpit last Sunday night to the effect that a virtuous woman between sixteen iind twenty-five years of ageconld not be found in the place. The pastor is known as Rev. Monroe Drew, and he is a young man. He came from Chicago four months ago, and has been preaching to growing congregations. Ho was sensational in his way of putting gospel truths, and many were drawn to bis services out of curiosity. Last Sunday he was particularly severe, saying that immorality had captured the town. He stated in all seriousness that he had been told that a woman of honor did not live in Lo Claire. At the end of the service the young preacher was surrounded by his congregation, who made violent protests at such unbecoming language. The next day he was waited upon by thirty young ladies and publio retraction demanded. Mr. Drew offered tu take back his words privately and apologize to his callers, but they would have none of it. The next step was the calling of a massmeeting, which was held last night in a large hall in tho town. More than four hundred indignant women and men were invited to meet the minister, but a report from Port Bvron says that he left the State and went to Illinois, fearing personal injury. The meeting was organized by calling a justice of the peace, K. A. Edwards, one of the oldest citizens, to the chair, and the selection of Miss Belle llorton as secretary. Some very plain words of denunciation were indulged in. and later a committee, composed of two men and three women, all married, were appointed to prepare a report.

After deliberation the report was submit ted. It expressed indignation at the state ment made from the pulpit, and asserts confidence in the character of the young ladies of the place. It demands of the oriicers of rue church the immediate discharge of the Rev. Dr. Drew, and avows public contempt for tho outrageous insult to the community. All Presbyterian churches are warned not to have anything to do with the Rev. Mr. Drew. Lawyers have beenconsulted with the view of instituting suits for slander. Muttenngs of tar and feathers are often heard, and some of the 3'oung ladies declare that they will not let the matter drop uutil a public retraction is made, coupled with an apology and a promise never to re-enter the pulpit again. INDIGNATION AT JOHNSTOWN. Gov. Heaver's Relief Management Denounced at a Meetlugr of Citizens. Johnstown, Pa July 13. The indigna tion meetiug, this afternoon, was largely attended. Speeches were made by CoL Linton, W. H. Rose, C. L. Dick, Rev. D. J. Beale, Hon. J. U. Rose, B. Horrell. A. J. Hawes and others, all denouncing the management of affairs under Governor Beaver's commission. Captain Kuhn, of the commissary department, stated that it cost moro than 25 per cent, of tho value of the goods to get them distributed under the methods in vogue. Tho following resolu tions were unanimously adopted. TCesolved, Thnt the citizens of Johnstown and vicinity respectfully, yet earnestly, request that the fund contributed for the relief of the flood sufferers in the Conemaugh valley be as speedily as possible distributed in money to the people, and th&t all purchases, contracts and expenses to be paid for out of tnis runa immediately ceaRC. lteo)ved. That any hoarding up of this fund to meet problematical wants will materially diminihh lt unef ulness ami only result in delaying to u more distant time the restoration of homes, of business, of industry and of confidence. It will do more good in the hands of the people now than at any time hereafter. Resolved, That we repudiate as insultiDg to the manhood and intelligence of our citizens (now that the avenue of trade are opened up) the imputations that they cannot and will not wisely and economically disburse any funds placed in their hands, and because of tht imputation the arrogant assumption that guardians must supervise our expenditures, control our disbursements, purchase our supplies and make ur contracts. Resolved, That of the statements Imputed to his Excellency, Governor Beaver, that $1,500. OOO ha alreadv been expended in Johnstown and vicinity has no foundation; in fact It U the strongest possible argument that expending re lief fuudsln contracting for buildings, quartermaster and commissary supplies, is not a wise, judicious or economical way of disbursing such funds when the ordinary sources of supply are opened up. Only by gross extravagance and carelessness could such a sum have been used hero and the people have received no adequate return for the exienditureof so large an amount. Kesolved, that the disbursement of tho fund subscribed for relief ctreetiy to tho sufferers will stimulate business, wiil provide work for our buildrrs, and trade for our merchants, will provide labor for our artisans, and will tend to restore confidence in the community, and will thus directly and indirectly help those for whom the fund was intended, while any other course at this day savors of jobs, redoundsto the benefit of none except contractors and business men having no Interest in this community, and unjustly discriminates against our own citizens. Kesolved. that it is unfair and unjust to exact an oath as to rrivate Income and relief before the bounteous charity of our countrymen can be distributed to its beneficiaries.

Belief that the Straw board Combination Is About to Go to the Wall. New York, July 13. It is reported among the paper-box manufacturers that the Strawboard Trust, one of the strongest concerns in the country, has given up the fight, and the pool will be broken in a few days. This is partly continued by tho decline of $1 per ton in tho past week in the price of strawboards, which enter so largely iuto the manufacture of paper boxes. About five years ago the owners of all the strawboard mills in the country organized a pool to control the price, and so successful were they in their operations, that $00 a ton was asked for the manufactured article. This outrageous price was resisted bv tho paperbox manufacturers, but no compromise could bo secured, and the Strawboard Trust organized a still closer concern this last Fpnng. Tho plan included all the small mills in the country, and when this arrangement went into effect on April 1 the price was further advanced until it reached $45 a ton. Several meetings of tho paper-box manufacturers were held, at which it, was resolved to withhold purchases. They were supported in their position by the dull trade and. largo surplus stocK in the warehouses. It was not long before a largo mill-owner in New York State ottered to make a concession, and the rumored cut was at once communicated to the other members of the trust. A general shading in prices took place, and strawboards were ottered in every direction at $33 per ton. It was even reported, yesterday, that as low as 32 per ton would be accepted. Tho paper-box manufacturers believe they have gained the day, aud that the Straw board Trust will soon be a thing of the past. Selling Out to English Capitalists. Rociiksiek, N. Y July 13.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Crawfokdsville, Ind., July 13. The follow t ing is an extract from a letter, sent this morning by Department Commander Travis to Col. C. R. Pier, general secretary of the National Encampment, at Milwaukeem regard to the late ordef requesting comrades to remain at home: I assure you, comrade, no one regrets the action of the railroads more than I do. The action taken by the eight commanders was simply the performance of a duty. 1 do sincerely feel that thehouorofouronlerdemands such action, and I know that the sentiments of the comrade throughout the land harmonize with our action. We do not hold your committee, nor the city of Milwaukee, to b'ame. If your people feel aggrieved lot them know that the Grand Army of the Iiepublio have the greater reason to be ajrerieved. The discrimination made by the railroads is not against Milwaukee, but against tho Grand Army of the Republic. It xs insulting to the order, and no comrade can, with selfrespect, or with the good of the order at heart, sustain the railroads in their action, by patronizing them. The comrade who purchases a ticket, unless his duty as a member of the National Encampment compels him to do so, to attend that encampment, surrenders his honor as a man and as a comrade to the wealthy corporations which have marked him for iiniositlon, and have discilminated against him, iu that they charge him more to ride upon their conveyances thun tbey rbartre any other terson. simply because he is a veteran soldier. I say that no comrade cau preserve his self-respect and sub ' mil to such treatment. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES.
