PETTIS, BASSETT & CO WOKKLNG ON CLOSE TI31E. Eecktold Fashed to Meet His Contract Will Torce Inferior Books Into tho Schools. Edward Hawkins, who probably gets his tj?ures from the Uecktold-Williams complete arithmetic, makes the dazzling statement that four thousand people are now at work getting the Indiana series ready. "We are working seTen sets of plates," says this man of figures, 'and aro having work done in seven different printing offices in St. Louis, Chicago and St. Paul." After announcine that tho contract was awarded too late to give ample time to get the books into the schools this fall in tho beat shape, he adds, with a smilo that is both childlike and bland, "but we believe wo have nothing to be ashamed of." Word comes from Crawfordsville that J. S. Zook, the Democratic county superintendent of Montgomery county, is determined that tho new school-books shall bo introduced into the schools this fall. At the meeting of the County Board of Education, this week, at Crawfordsville, a resolution was introduced to the efFect that the books will not be used until tho Supreme Court has passed upon the law. Four trustees voted in favor of tho resolution, and four did not vote. Then tho superintendent, who was the presiding officer, declared the resolution lost, and ordered the new books be used at once. Violation of the Revenue Lair. Deputy United States Marshal Blair, of Fort Wayne, was in the city yesterday, having in his custody A. J. Steinberg, of Butler, DeKalb county, who had been arrested on a charge of violating the reveuuo laws by telling whisky without a liceuse. Steinberg was released on his own recognizance in the sum of $'JuO to appear when called. Connersville Water. The water at Connersville is under inspicion a tho cause of the typhoid fever there, and yesterday three samples were brought to this city to Prof. John X. Ilnrty for analysis. One of tho samples is from tho town pump, another from Oil3 well, and the third from the well at tho Huston House. The analyses will be begun to-day. Annexed to tbe City. Tbe County Commissioners Court yesterday heard and granted the petition of the City Council asking for tho annexation of twenty acres to the city, lying immediately north of the State fair grounds. The property annexed- belonged to the State, and will hereafter havo city police and liro protection. 2TW bfidrcxma aeta at Win, L. Elder's,

RESORTING TO OLD THICKS

Trustees Riley and Cnllen Responding Readily to the Call of the Gang. A Democrat's Denunciation of the Scheno to "Work the Blind Asylum Coj's Henchman Hid Behind a Respectable Committee. That political disorder so admirably designated by Grover Cleveland as "offensive partisanship" has attacked two members of the board of trustees of the Institution for the Educatioa of the Blind, John Riley and Terrence J. Cnllen, with great violence, the disorder appearing, strangely enough, contemporaneously with the Democratic primaries. It is understood that the third trustee, Hoc John B. Stoll, editor of the South Bend Times, stands by the superintendent of the institution, Mr. Jacobs; in protesting against mischievous and dangerous changes in teachers and others connected with the institution. The superintendent, under the law, has the power to appoint his subordinates, but the trustees, clothed in a Httle brief authority, have tho opportunity to make matters exceedingly unpleasant for that officer, who is not sufficiently subservient to their wishes to discharge and appoint tho favorites they may select. There are a great many persons. Democrats as well as Republicans, who do not wish to seo the spoiler's ringer laid upon this institution as it was upon that of the insane. 4The dropping of Doctor Stone and Miss Loom is from the list of teachers," a prominent Democrat said yesterday, "not only without cause, but after being highly recommended bv the superintendent, was Shameful. It'a i ha fi ing the institution over to a set of ward politicians. To remove, without cause, competent and faithful persons from such an institution, is a rank injustice. It demonstrates that the trustees are not seeking the best interests of the institution, and that they are wholly unlit for the office they hold. Mr. Kiley tries to convey the impression that the persons drooped are Republicans, which is not true. Tho real question is, was it right to drop competent and faithful officers? Honest Democrats all over the State have been humiliated time and again by charges of bad management of some of our institutions, and these charges could not be denied. Ignorant and corrupt politicians have forced themselves into important positions only to bring disgrace upon the party, and the time has come for DemoCrats to frp thfTTiifl v from nil thin Wa cannot afford to condone the conduct of Jonnny Riley, or anyone else who attempts to place th& Blind Asylum in the same category with the Hospital for ihe Insane." Respectable Figure-Heads. Thero was a good deal of perturbation among the Democratic brethren yesterday, their interest in the selection of a mayoralty candidato constituting tho main cause of the excitement, and overshadowing to a considerable extent the balanco of the Democratic aspirants for municipal offices. There was talk of a contribution of $100 from each salooon-keepcr in this city to help out tho Democratic campaign fund. As thero are nearly 400 saloons in the city, the prospect of even & moiety of these contributing a crisp $100 bill filled the soul of tho average Democratic ward-worker with the same emotions which till the soul of the traveler in a dry and dusty land when ho sees a green oasis, surrounded with Dlenty to drink, rising out of the deseft. Statesman Coy was a frequent visitor to the Democratic officials at the court-house, and the consultations in the corridors were dark, deep and protracted. It is now a well-settled fact that the little Kighteenth-ward manager, who who wa3 to be relegated to the limbo of insignificance when he returned from confinement, has got his old grip on the Democratic organization, and instead of filling the position of a vibratory termination, as was proposed, the Michigan City tail is wagging the Democratic dog with considerable vehemence. The Democratic city central committeo met yesterday evepirg, and Messrs. George Tanner, Albert Gall, James H. Rice, James Mcllugh. Dietrich Mussman, George W. Koontz, Michael O'Connor. William F. Piel, jr., Thomas Madden and Albert Lieber were announced by Chairman Bridges as an executive committee. This incongruous assortment was readily recognized as a lot of figureheads, whose only object in existing as a committee was to divert attention from the real forces at work on the inside of the organization. One of them is practically a non-resident, exAuditor James Rice, having his home in Muncie. The balance of them, not even ex cepting General Koontz, who is tho solo survivor of the Democratic G. A- R., havo never undertaken to set a Democratic squadron in the field, and do not know the first principles of conducting a municipal campaign. It is proposed, under this array of so-called committee, to have tho real workers of the Democratic campaign carry on their canvass, and the next few weeks will show the real forces which dominate the Democratic machine. Republicans Actively at Work. The Republican city central committee will meet at the rooms Of the Indianapolis Club, at 8 o'clock this evening, and it is likely the reports of its several members will show that their work has been gotten well under way. Every ward in the city, with the exception of the Sixteenth, has organized for work, and it is probable the vacancy in the position of committeeman from that ward will bo filled during the next few days. It is expected that the executive committee will be announced to-night, and by resolution of the general committeo tho tirst-uamcd body will have the authority to designate the time and place of the Republican citv convention. The feeling now is unmistakably in favor of a late convention, and it is probable, for this reason, that the nomination of a candidate for Mayor may not he made until after the middle of the present month. The general work of preparation and organization, however, will not be delayed in consequence, and there is no pressure on the part of the friends of candidates to hasten the decision of the party by means of an early convention. The universally expressed wish is to find the best man available for the plaire, and the delay in making tho selection will give larger opportunity for locating that particular individual. Tho activity of tho saloon men in promoting tho Democratic canvass, and their reported munificence in contributing to the coffers of the Democratic exchequer, has aroused a good deal of feeling among people who object to having city politics dominated by tho saloon element. It is not among the improbabilities that before the campaign is ended an issue will be clearly drawn between this element and those who believe that the saloon, instead of controlling the city government, should bo controlled by it. Nominations for Council. Republican primaries to nominate councilmen were held last evening in tho Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Seventeenth and Twenty-fourth wards. All were well attended, and marked interest was shown in the proceedings of each. In the Thirteenth ward the primary was held at Lincoln Cottage, in Military Fark, and there was a spirited co ntest between Edward Dunn the present councilman from that ward,, and Stephen M. Crawford. Tho former was nominated by a vote of 205 to 117. In the Fourteenth ward William E. Davis was nominated by acclamation, all the other candidates having withdrawn their names. In tho Seventeenth ward James M. Leathers was unanimously nominated, and in tho Twenty-fourth illiam Weigel was tho unanimous choico of the Republicans of tho ward as their representative. All tho nominees are active Republicans, and can be relied upon for an energetic canvass. In the Sixteenth ward the Republican primary "will probably be held some evening next week for tho selection of a candidate for Councilman, and also of a committeeman. Dr. Earp having concluded, by reason of other engagements, to decline the position. Republicans of the Twenty-third ward will meet at. No. 10 engine-house,

Madison avenue, this evening, at 7:30 o'clock, to make their councilmanic nomination, and the primary in the Twentyfifth ward, for a like purpose, will take place at Farnell Hall Friday evening. Farther Primary Election. Thero will bo a Democratic primary in the Twenty-second ward from 3 to 8 o'clock this evening, to nominato a successor to Councilman Kclley, aud the prospects are that between' Kelley, Martin J. Murphy and George M. Gimbel, who are all candidate, tbe fight will be a lively one. In the Fifth ward there is some talk of nominating Albert Gall as a Democratic candidate, and in the thirteenth, Nineteenth and Twenty-fifth there are plenty of aspirants, but the time for their primaries have not yet been definitely settled. IN THfl INTEREST OF LAB0S. What Is to Be Done at a Meeting; of the State Federation of Trade and Labor Unions. The fifth annual session of the Indiana Federation of Trade and Labor Dnions will take place at Workinginen's Hall, 1151? East Washington street, at 10 o'clock this morning. There are about 150 delegates, the president being Einil Levy, of Evansville, and the secretary John P. Hannegan, of Lafayette. The vice-presidents are thirteen in number, ono being selected from each , congressional district in the State. The session will last two days, and the business will relate largely to legislation that is desired by these representatives of the industrial classes. Legislation will be asked compelling the attendance at school nine months in the year of all children between tho ages of six and twelve years, and providing for freo school-books. Laws will be asked to compel the organization of every department of productive industry; to secure toilers a proper share of the wealth they create and more leisure; the removal of delays and discriminations in tho administration of justice; to compel chartered corporations to pay their employes weekly in full; tho abolishment of the contract system on State and municipal work; the prohibition of tho employment of children in mines and factories; to abolish letting out by contract the labor of convicts; to secure for both sexes equal 1ay for equal work; to reduce the hours of abor to eight; to enact a regular and efficient apprentice law. Home of the counties of the State have no labor organizations, and consequently will not be represented in this federation, but every trcdes-union in Indiana is to have one or more delegates present, and the meeting will, it is understood, bo a very important one. Business Enterprises. Articles of incorporation were filed with the Secretary of State by the Washington Jasper Railroad Company for the purposes of building and owning a lino of railroad within tho State of Indiana. The company has a capital stock of $500,000, divided into shares of $100 each. A board of directors, comprising thirteen, has been appointed. The railroad will bo constructed between the following points, beginning at Wash-

L ington. in the county of Daviess, and ter minating at Jasper, m Dubois county, a length of about thirty miles. Articles were also filed by the Greenfield Iron and Nail Company. The company will have a capital stock of $150,000. in 3,000 shares of $.j0 a share. Tho directors are: Henry D. Smith, William C. Whitehead, Edward C. Egan. John Landers, and William G. Wasson. The company propose to manufacture nails and other products of sttrl and iron, and operations are to bo carried on in Greenfield. New Furniture Factory. r D. E. Stono & Co. will locate a new furniture factory at tho intersection of Anderson street and the Belt rail way. The ground was donated by Messrs. Cooper and Pickens and the factory secured by Capt. H. H. Beyille. Two large buildings will be erected immediately for the manufacture of office desks and household furniture. The firm starts with $50,000, and will employ one hundred men. The Interstate Commission. The Interstate-commerco . Commission will meet here on Tuesday, tbe 17th inst., at tho United States Courtroom, to hear the following cases: Charles H. Bromwell, Washington Court-house, O., vs. Columbus & Cincinnati Midland Railroad Company, classification; Tho Hezel Milling Company, St, Louis, vs. St. Louis, Alton & Terro Hute Railroad Company, unjust discrimination in rates; the Pennsylvania Company, operating the Jeffersonville, Madison & Indianapolis railroad, vs. Louisville, rsew Albany to Chicago Kailroaa uompanv, unjust discrimination in one-thousand-mile tickets; the Chicago, St. Louis & Pittsburg Railroad Company vs. Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis railroad, unjust discrimination in one-thousand-milo tickets; the Pittsburg, Cincinnati & St. Louis company vs. the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company, unjust discrimination, by giving party, rates, and violation of Section 6, in failing to post excursion rates; Bennett D. Mattingly, Louisville, Ky., vs. tho Pennsylvania Company, unjust discrimination by refusing to afford facilities for interchange of traffic; Hervey Bates & Hervey Bates, jr., operating Indianapolis hominy-mills, vs, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and the Pennsylvania Company, unjust discrimination in rates in favor of corn over corn products; Tho American Wire-nail Company, Covington, Ky., vs. Tho Queen fc Crescent Fast-freight Line, et al., unjust discrimination in rates of cut over wire nails. The commission will have hearings, at New York, on the 12th; at Kansas City, 24th, and at Chicago SOth of this month. Moo Chee's Valuables. 'Moo Chee, an almond-eyed Celestial, who runs a laundry at 168 West Washington street, is in a mingled state of perturbation and perspiration. When Moo left the laundry last evening, about 6 o'clock, some one of the light-fingered gentry entered and robbed him of $350 in cash and three rings, one of which he asserts was worth $100, it being set with diamonds. Mr. Cheo gave information to the police of his loss, but in such an unintelligible manner from his broken English that nothing much could be gleaned from his story, which went to show that he secreted tho money in the mattress of the bed, and that it was there when he left the premises, at 0 o'clock. On returning he at once discovered his loss. A revolver which was placed in the same hiding-place as the money vras not taken. The ring and pocket-book both had some Chinese hieroglyphics engraved on them, and will thus be easily identified as tho stolen property. It is evident that the theft was committed by some one well acquainted with the premises, and also with tho Chinaman's habits. Tromptly Put Out. The alarm last evening, at 9:15 o'clock, came for a fire in an empty frame building at the northeast corner of Alabama street and Virginia avenue. The building is a rickety old shell and the fire, probably caused by a fly ing spark blown from a passing locomotive through tho window into gome loose straw, was promptly put out by the department. The department had another run, about an hour later, to Albert Thayer's woodyard. No. iT77 Massachusetts avenue. This lire was readily extinguished, the loss not exceeding $100. Error In Their Imports. The errors made in the reports submitted by the ninety-two county superintend ents to the Superintendent of Public In struction are causing the clerks anunnec essary amount of labor and expenditure of time, como 01 these errors amount to as much as $1,000 in tho wrongful manipulation of arithmetic and others again lie in tho cents, but the reports are sent in by those fiom whom correctness is expeetell and, essential in the performance of their duties. Ayek's Sarsaparilla contains iodide of potassium and iron, and vegetable- blood partners.

BOARD OP TRADE GOSSIP.

Talks with Business Men on Various Matters Relating to Trade and Enterprise. The National Board of Trade, which holds its twenty -first annual meeting next month, has instructed its secretary to ob tain from the local board recommendations upon important subject of national concern. The following members of the board have been selected as a committee to act in the matter: Messrs. Tanner, as chairman; S. T. Bowen. Franklin Landers. W. D. Wiles and E. B. Martindale. "Wheat is-vey dull," remarked the grain-dealer, Mr. Cooper. "The market is well filled up, but times are dulL" This is explained by tho injurious workings of the interstate-commerce bilL The dealers now ship direct rather than bring grain in here to market and then forward. Take, for instance, c farmer at Oakwood. He will now ship direct to the seaboard, owing to the rates established -by the bill, whereas, formerly, he would ship to this city, place tho grain in an elevator, and then it would be shipped from here to the seaboard. The actual money made in the grain business, locally, was in this business of forwarding. Before the bill came into operation, the dealers claim, a man could secure a better railroad rate, according to the number of cars ho was going to ship; now the man with one car cau obtain just as favorable a rate as the man with a thousand. Anotner thing whicli is unfavorable to the grain business of the city, it is asserted, is the difficulty of obtainiugsuihcientcapital: and then, again, the banks charge such a large percentage on the money loaned. A Chicago man can obtain as much money as he needs, upon grain as a coliateral, at 4 per cent. while the local banks demand 7 and even 8 per cent. Referring to the matter of boring a well to tho depth of 3,000 feet, at a probable cost of $3,000, to endeavor to ascertain whether Indianapolis really stands upon a gas field, Secretary Gillette, of the Board of Trade, remarked, yesterday, that tho scheme as formulated by Judge Martindale, at tho last meeting, would be carried into efFect. "Of course." said he, "we have done a good deal of boring about here for gas, going down about one thousand feet in depth, but without finding a gusher. We found mineral water at certain plac s, as well as oil Experiments have lately been made at a town in Ohio, where a well was bored to a depth of three thousand feet, when gas was struck in largo quantities. It was probably this fact which caused Judge Mart in dale's snggestion to the board. The scheme is for the members of the board to club together and make up a sum sufficient to bore a well to a;reat depth and continue down until they find something. They may go to a depth of three or even four thousand feet for gas, as in the above instance it has been f oundat that depth where it has not been found at a thousand feet. If they should succeed in this it will be a great thing for Indianapolis, and if not, they will probably find something else. Sometime ago John Cavin, while boring for gas a short distance east of the city, found oil in sufficient quantity to pay, but as ho was after nothiug but gas the well was abandoned." At no great depth under the city lies what may bo described as a lako of the purest water, and Judgo Martindale stated before the board that if nothing else resulted from these experiments, they could givo the city a supply of pure water. Of course the water-works authorities might prefer obtaining their water from 'this source. Tf not," said a menberof the board, "we would have to fight the corporation." t Referring to the contemplated improvement to bo mado in the Board of Trade building, President Tanner says that the main thing to bo done is to get a better placo for meeting. The present hall is poorly arranged, and its accoustic properties aro very bad. "In fact," Baid he, "it is almost worthless as a place wherein to hold a public meeting. When we make the needed improvement our meetings will be better attended." A plan has been formulated and will be shortly adopted by the board, which will greatly tend to encourage merchants to come to the city and meet tho members of Jthe board. "The details are such," said President Tanner, "that we don't wish to publish them because of the fact that other surrounding cities would oiler similar inducements to counteract ours." Tho plan was. however, explained to the Journal reporter, and its workings seem entirely feasible and will Erove an undoubted success, especially in ringing together a larger number of local merchants to tho meetiugs of tho board. Frank Branch, of Martinsville, is determined that it shall not be necessary for a member of the board to have to leave the building to obtain th(. wherewithal to quench his thirst. He has placed on tap at all hours for the convenience of the members a supply of the Martinsville mineral water. This water is so well known that it is not necessary for a man to have his life insured before drinking it, for, just like all other mineral waters, it is the best in the worlth . PROVIDED WITH HEADQUARTERS. Additional Features of the Sunday-School Work That Has Been Inaugurated. No. 49 Circle street, in the Journal Building, on the ground floor, has been , fitted up and looks quite business-like, as tho headquarters of four different religious organizationsthe Inndiananolis Sunday-school Association, the Indiana Sunday-school Union, the International Sunday-school Institute and the Indianapolis Bible Society. Rey. Dr. J. E. Gilbert is superintendent of the three first named. Certain special features of the Sunday-school organizations have been heretofore described, but thero is to be added a publication department. This will relate to the issuance of text-books for the Sunday-school training classes, to be edited by Dr. Gilbert. Before being printed all publications will be submitted to a committee, aud tho indorsement of this committee, each member of which belongs to a dillerent ore of the treat Protestant denominations, will be virtually an indorsement by all these denominations. The committee is composed of Rev. X. A. Hyde, D. D., Congregational; Rev. J. S. Jenekes. LL. D. Episcopal; Rev. M. L. Haines, D. D., Presbyterian; Rev. J. H. Ford, D. D., Methodist; Rev. W. F. Taylor, A. M., Baptist; Rev. D. R. Lucas, A. M., Christian; Rev. John Baltzly, A. M.. Lutheran. There is also to be inaugurated a system of house-to-house visitation in all the cities of the State, tho purpose of which will be to brine the children into the Sunday-schools. and it is because of this particular feature that an alliance has been made with the Bible society to furnish homes that do not have them with the Scriptures. Roncjlis from Indian Territory. AVandalia train, yesterday afternoon, brought in twenty-nine United States prisoners from the Indian Territory, en route to Columbus, O., where they are to be confined in the penitentiary. Without question they were the roughest specimens of humanity that ever passed through the Kninn Station. Thomas Taecrart. of the Union Station dining-hall, furnished the . 9 A meals in tno car in wincn tney were cameo. All were merry over their situation. Two were prisoners for life, and the rest for lone terms. Six ofhciaN attended them. and every precaution was taken to prevent escaping. Will lie Placed Under Ground. The new electric-light plant of the Thompson-Houston agency will be ready to supply tho incandescent luminant by the 10th inst. Two large engines have been placed in position in the rear of the Colum bia club-house, and the dynamos aro being put in running order. Both the Brush and Thompson-Houston companies have grace fully yielded to the ordinance requiring that incandescent wires between- North, East, South and West streets bo placed

under ground, and announce that they will begin to do so at once. All lighting to bo done under the ordinance is to bo from in

dependent dynamos, specially constructed for incandescent lighting, and in no case cau any incandescent light, be supplied with electricity from arc circuits, nor arc lights from incandescent circuits. The rrr in .nr nrnri ria that wires for carrying electricity for power shall also go under ground. There aro now thirty or more motors running, and it is calculated that. within 6iJc months, this nuniDcr tvui 00 increased to a hundred. THE XATURAL-GAS.SUPFIiY. An interchange of Viewi as t IU Beinff Sup plemented by an Artificial Product. Yesterday afternoon a conversation was in progress among a number of gentlemen, one of whom is a gas expert. "I see," said one, "that Professor Orton, tho State Geologist of Ohio, who is considered to be authority on the subject, has published to the world that in three years Ohio -will be practically without natural gas," Yes " said another, "I have seen him credited with saying something of that kind, and also that, while he had no faith in the continuance of the supply of natural gas, he had faith that before tho supply gave out some practical method of produc ing and manufacturing fuel gas to take its place would be developed. He said he had piped his house, in Columbus, in the sub lime faith that manufactured gas would speedily come. Pm not quoting his words, but.thafs approximately correct." T don't like to say anything against thG opinion of so eminent an authority as Prof. Orton," remarked the gas expert. "I think his prediction that the Ohio gas supply will eiveout in a few years I would not 6ay three years is correct, and about the same thing might be predicted of Indiana's gas-fuel supplv, though we think we have a larger field than Ohio. What I challenge is the Professor's assumption that he and the rest of mankind are to have manufactured fuel-gas to take tho place of natural gas. Ihere are certain barriers, almost impossible, in the way of reducing an artificial gas to anything like a commercial success. There is not to-day in the United States or in Europe a large and central station built for the purpose of supplying artificial heating gas which is a commercial success. The mcen tive.to make a cheap gas-fuel has been great, and idle capital has long been ready to rush into anything of the kind that promised success. Could such a fuel have been mado on satisfactory terms it wonld have long ago found capital to back it. Indianapolis will use 60,000,000 cubic feet of natural gas a day in cold weather. If that amount of artificial gas was required, or even one-half, think of thestorago capacity that would have to be provided. The capitalization for it alone would bo $3,000,000. Natural gas is delivered to us by nature under enormous initial pressure There is no known means for distributing manufactured gas by any pressure at all approaching that. The capitalization necessary to generate, hold and distribute artificial gas is an absolute barrier to its ever being sold at a price that will bring it into competition with coal. I nm inclined to think with Professor Orton, however, that in three years Indiana coalmining stock will be better property than it ever was. Trotting and Pacing. The annual race-meeting of the Indiana Trotting and Pacing Hoisc-breeders' Association will occur here this year on four days next week, including Tuesday, the opening day. Particular attention has been given to scouring the best 6tock for these races, and the success of the meetings . heretofore, it is expected, will be repeated. The programme for the four days will be as follows: Tuesday, Sept. 10, New Denison House stake, for trotting foals of 1886; sixteen entries; 2J0 pace, purse, $200, pacing foals of 1SvS6; five entries. . Wednesday, 11th, Bates House stake, for tiotting foals of 1887; eighteen entries; pacing foals of 1887; six. entries: 2:30 trot, purse, $200; match race, yearling trotters, for $200 a side. Thursday. 12th, pacing foals of 18S5; two entries; ?:40 trot, purse, $200; trotting foals of 1S&5; five entries. Friday, 13th. Futurity stake, trotting foals of 1SS7; sixteen entries; Grand Hotel stake, for trotting foals of 1888; eleven entries; p?.cinc foals of 1888; two entries. The races will take place on tho fair ground track, which has been improved, and is now considered one of the best in the Stato. w Occtdtatlon of Jupiter. The occnltation of Jupiter, the hiding of that planet by the moon frm the view of the denizens of earth, took place last night, according to announcement, the sky being favorable for the observation of the phenomenon. Though thero were many clouds, they did not obscure the moon until after occultation took place. All along the streets werepersons observing the phenomenon, which required no glass, up to 8:50 o'clock, after which, time the view might have been prolonged for some time by means of a good telescope. The occultation continued forty-nine minutes, when-Jupiter reappeared and continued on his bright and shining way. 2Io$quitoes.
