EycMl to tle Inlianailla Journal. GnxEXsnuRO. Oct. 1GL -The reversal by the Supreme Court, yesterday, for the second time, of the case of the State against enj. Kinningham, who has been twice sent to tho penitentiary by the Decatur Circuit Conrt, reveals a strango omission in the law of the State. Last winter, one dark, disagreeable night. Kinningham was caught applying the torch f.o a barn on i farm which bad been sold upon a judgment against him. A supposed accomplice turned informer, and told several persons that all the arrange ments were complete to burn three barns that night. Watchers were placed at each' barn, and at the tirst one the culprit, with h ball of carpet-rags well soaked in coal oil, came in, raked together some dry ma terial and struck a match. Just then he wasmt h prisoner. On the first hearing L is sentenced' for lour years, i was at JefTersonvilio eeveral wee.; - The higher court said the indictment was bad because it did not set out the particular act constituting the attempt, and he was returned for another trial. A now indictment alleged the facts, but now it seems there is a defect in the statute, and a person cannot be punished unless the property was really burued, and Klnningham goes free after serving but a few days of the sentence of one and a half years recently pronounced by the court nere.

KING OF PORTUGAL DYING

A Wise and Liberal Ruler Whoso Condition Is Thought to Be Very Serious, An African Traveler Who Is Believed to Have Ecen Killed by the Natives American Hormon Missionaries in Norway. . PORTUGAL'S DYING KING. The Patient In a Delirious Condition A Wise and Liberal Ruler of His People. Lisbon, Oct 16. To-night the condition nf tliA Kin tr nf Pnrtniral is announced tO be worse. Gangrene has set in, and the paA. - A. " iient is aeiinous. King Louis I was born Oct. 81, 1SSS. the son of the late Queen Maria II and the late Prince Ferdinand, of Saxe-Coburg. . His royal mother was the'first sovereign of the lino of Braganza to break through the cus tom, which had prevailed for two centuries. of keeping up alliances with the reigning house of Spain. Her union with Prince Ferdinand resulted in the beginning of the house of Braganza-Coburg, the first sov ereign of which was her son, Pedro V, at whose death, in 1SC1, Louis succeeded to the throne. The young king took to wife Pia. the youngest daughter of King Victor Emanuel, of Italy. Thevwere married Oct. 6. 1SG2. when the bridegroom was twenty-four years old and the bride onlv fifteen. From this union were born two sons, the elder of whom. Prince Carlos, Duke of Braganza. born in 1863. is a cultivated man. who will ably relieve his father of the irksome duties which kinirs have to nerform. Prince Car los married a dauehterof the Count de Parif,- the most formidable of pretenders to monarchical rule over France. King Louis has been a wise and liberal king, toiling to establish freedom and edu cation, and encouraging railroads and telegraphs; but the people appear to have lost that enterprising character which made them so active during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. . MORMONS IN NORWAY. Nine Utah Missionaries at Work In theCoun try Irainigratlob to the United States. Washington, Oct. 16. Mr. Gerhard Gade, United States consul to Christiana, Nor way, has sent the following interesting dispatch to the State Department, relating to Mormons in that country: "At the semi annual conference, lately held in this city by the Mormon residents, it was reported that the aggregate number of Mormons in Norway is at present 740, 120 of whom belong to their clergy. But of. the latter twelve are elders, residing in Utah, but working here as missionaries for a short time. The Scandinavian mission is pre sided over by a Dane named Fielstcd. Dur ing the past four months thirty-six persons were baptized, and sixtv-six. includinz children, emigrated to Utah. Last year seventy emigrated, but Mormons emigrat ing this year will become more numerous, as a larger emigration will take place next month. Passage-money from Norwegians already settled in Utah is in most cases allpowerful in inducing their relatives here to follow them to America. In this country tho Mormons have nine stations, viz.: in Christiana, where they couut 2KS members: in Deammin. the province of Heremarkeu; in Tuvrikstad. Frederikshold, Arnidal, Bergen, Drousheim and Transo. Their first station was at Brevik, and established in 1852. Since that time about 5,000 Norwegians havo emigrated to Utah." A MISSING EXPLORER. Belief that F. Monks, a Great Traveler, Has Been Killed in the Heart tof Africa. London, Oct. 16. It is believed that Mr. F. Monks, tho African traveler, has been killed by his inon on the Zambezi rivei. This information comes from Bishop Bruce,' of the Orange Free State. Monk had very small resources, but pure love of exploration enabled him, like Arnot, to find means to make some extensive journeys with little money. When ho started, several years ago, from Kimberly on his first journey, he drove before him a lightly laden donkey, carry ingcamp equipments and a few barter goods. The donkey and its load comprised his entire expedition. At the Zambezi he traded his donkey for a boat, and he made a number of long excursions up tho Zambezi tributaries. His map, giving rather minute topographical detailfi of the country between Matabeleland and the Zambezi, especially the course of the numerous streams, is in the possession of the Koyal Geographical Society here. He started on his second expedition nearly two years ago, intending to make the first ascent of the great Loangwa, tributary of the Zambezi, and finally to establish, a trading statioji on Lake Bangwolo. Late in 1887 he entered the Loangwa, and started north on his long liver journey, and it was on this river that he is reported to have boon killed. GEhTERAI FOREIGN NEWS. Incidents That Worry Spain and Make Her the liiu:hlngr Stock of Other Nations. London, Oct. 16. The early convocation of the Spanish Cortes has caused a ripple upon the usuaUy stagnant waters of peninsular politics. The Morocco incident, trifling as it would appear to other people, will furnish matter for discussion until something equally grave happens, but the journals do not forget to warn the South American republics against beincc ensnared and deluded by the greedy giant to the north of them. The philrntbropic interest of Spain and Italy in th ure welfare of t he Latin race in South I -erica is touching in the extreme. Stil .us the Manchester 'fiuaidian remarks, there may be many yet living in South America who can recall the tyrannical rule of the Spanish there, only thrown off after years of slaughter and suffering. In all that time the only aid and sympathy then came from the United States and from England, and the condition of Cuba probably does not cause them to regret their independence. Princess Sophie's Coming "Wedding. Atiiens, April 10. The progamme ot the marriage of Princess Sophie, of Prussia, to the Crown Prince of Greece, and tho accompanying festivities, is published.

A CELEBRATED RACING STABLE, , Model Establishment of the Dwyers A Switch-Tender's Good Fortune. Brooklyn Eagle. "Horse racing and everything about it is a lottery, especially yearlingM,,, remarked Phil Dwyer as he poked his light cane at the protruding noso of Inspector B., who was peering inquisitively from his box stall at Dwyer Brothers racing stables, at Gravesend. Jockeys and stablemen were busily running in and aoont the great angle, and the watchful ey of head trainer Frank McCabe was everywhere. It takes a cool, level-headed man to have charge of 670,000 worth of horseflesh. Scores of birds sat twittering on the long, low roof of the stables, aud a colony of fowls strutted about undismayed by the neighing and pawing of the satiny-skinned racers and the unbiquitious jockeys, who. loaded down with har ness and brushes, were getting ready for the racing hour when the Dwyer cracks would take the field. It is a model establishment, that of the Dwyers. Han cine: on theedceof the Coney Island Jockey Club's track, the bend of which impinges upon the eastern boundary, covering about a couple of acres and with stalls for a hundred or more horses, it is the turfman's ideal of what a racing stable should be the quintessence of cleanliness, roomy ana free from needless decoration. yet supplied with everything necessary for the care ox tne stock, lhe stables themselves are in the form of an L, with a large number of stalls in both wings. Almost every stall contained a racer, more or less known to the patrons of the track. Some were in prime condition, but there were others whose coats were no longer glossy and whose eyes and general gait bespoke me uorse oni oi training. "How many animals are there altogether in your stables, hero and elsewhere, Mr. Dwyerf "We have sixty-eight in all. of which iony-nine are two years ouiana upward. They are all very hich bred and expensive horses. Have you any notion what it costs to run a stablel" he asked snddenly. "We have, when all are here, not less than $70,000 or $75,000 worth of stock, and it takes almost as muchmoro to keep the thing going anu to meet ail expenses, it's a Digger risk than one would take in Wall street, for expenses go on just the same wnetneryou win or lose. Now, this has been a queer season, and Western men have gone home disgusted. The yearling business is the greatest lottery of all. why." he added, "tho whole turf here abouts is talking of the wonderful streak of luck that has befallen a man named Warn ke. who was a switch-tender on Culvers railroad a few months ago. It seems that Warnke, who was a poor man. was persuaded to buy a little two-year-old filly. He had no experience on the turf, and made the purchase more because the animal was ottered to him cheap than for any other reason. Well, he brushed her up, trained her a bit and then entered her for a race. To his intense surprise, and, I need hardly say, to that of everybody else. she won. To cut the story short." added Mr. Dwyer. "the lour-hundred-dollar tillv belonging to the poor switch-tender carried everything before her, and she netted him a pot of money. Reclare for that is tho animal I mean is every where known now as ne of the best cracks in the business. She has won every race or got a place in everv race of which she has been entered in the last few months, and I hoar that her owner refused 625,000 for her, as he had made considerably more than that amount out of her, and expected to do still better. "Now, I think this shows that one can never tell what a two-year-old may do, let alone a yearling. Undoubtedly Reclare had been tried before being sold, and had disappointed her first owners. I have bought yearlings at from $600 to $300 apiece, and nave got nothing out of them. It is the same way with two-year-olds. We started out with thirty-seven two-year-olds, at an average cost of $2,200 a head, and got not a good one in the lot. A few experiences of that sort would convince any man that it takes money to run a stable, and that it's a lottery after all. You do the best you can, and yet you never know how you are coming out in i no long run." SAVED TIIE PAYMASTER'S CAR. It Required a Dit of Clerer Calculating, but Jim Lyfe Did It. Omaha World-HeralL Among the recently invigorated liars of the town is onejust returned from session with ozone in Colorado. It was his first trip through the mountains, and he was much affected by the feats of engineering skill there manifested, as witness the following: "I had heard of the curve on the Pennsylvania, where, according to the time-card scheduled, the engineer is obliged to lean out of hit cab and exchange tobacco with the brakeman on the rear end, so as to give the passengers something to talk about, and 1 now beliove it. There was an old, honest, horny-handed miner who rode over the road out of Denver with mo, and he told me several things. Once, while we were being jerked around the edge of tho mountains and could look out from under the roots of our hair at the track opposite in the valley, he told me a tale. Said he: " 'That yere track down yan is the one we're onto, but we won't tech it for an hour. We run up the ravine an' down the side of the mountain an' double back. Down thar is where Jim Lyle saved the paymaster o the road. "How?" I inquired. " 'It were this way: The paymaster's car was hitched onto the hind end o' tho freight train, his own engine bavin' had a little trouble with her running gear, and being abandoned for awhile up tho road. Well, the train was snortin' and crawlin' aroun' the mountain, when, all of a sudden, the back brakeman comes a run hi n' up and yells to Jim: "'Pull out! Pull out! They's a gang o' rustlers has caught the engine an' are humpin' after us! Pull!' 'Well. Jim Lyle noticed that Ho seen at wunst that the engine had been fixed up, an' that the rustlers had took her to ketch him an' git the dust in the paymaster's car, so he pulled outright peart, an' tried to outrace 'em, but it wan't no go. They kep' gitten' up ou him. "Pretty soon he struck the beginnin o this yere curve. He didn't slack a breath, an' the conductor came rush in' up an' hollered : 'For God's sake, what kin we do? If we run this way we'll climb a rail.' "Sallright,' said Jim. Lyle. If I calculate rightly that car is saved,' an! he gave her another null out. an' iust as wo reached right here he jerked her wide open. Then we see what was what. Lookin' back, 1, bein' on the train, seen tho last coach go up in the air; there was a jerk, an' away over into tho canyon she went. "Well, where does the salvation, of the coach come in!" I asked. "I don't see any particular advantage in bs-ing spilled over a mountain side and being shot by train robbers." " 'Now, don't get frisky,' said the old man, I'm telling this yere anrI ain't done. That there coach, as I say, sailed over oflin the track just like the hind boy did when you used to play 'crack the whip at school. It floated down as nice as you please, an' lit on the track below in the valley, an' with the force it was slung rolled ten miles to the next station. When we got there it was in on the sidin', an' we pulled by, an when the light engine load o rustlers come pullin' along, the town people was waitin' fcr 'em, an' the new cemetery was started in good shape.9 " - Thanks for Small Favors.

Significant Facts Cited in a Report to a Parliament Committee. Boston Journal. The report of Sir Robert Herbert to the select committee on colonization, which has been printed recently in England, contains statistics which discloso an increasing congestion of urban population. At the present time more than two-thirds of the population of Great Britain are in tho urban districts. In 1S71 the proportion was 193 to 100. Ten years later it had rin to 212 to 100. The town population is now increasing at the rate of nearly 20 per cent every ten years, while the country population is increasing at the rate of only 7 per cent. It is becoming a problem of very grave concern to provide lor this urban population. Sir Robert Herbert argues that tho only way in which it can bo done is to increaae tho export trade. This, ho says, is impossible so fur as foreign countries aro concerned, for Europe and the United States are not only diminishing every year their demands for British manufactures, bnt are seriously invading British markets at home and abroad. Sir Robert Herbert's remedy is assisted emigration to the colonies. His theory is that needless rival producers must be transferred to Australia, where they will become customers. Sir Robert Herbert does not make it clear what is to happen when the British colonies, their growth stimulated by assisted immigration and something like a national spirit awakening within them, all follow tho example of Canada in the establishment of protective tariffs. But his report, in spite of this omission, is interesting by reason of its frank presentation of a pressing problem, and its recognition of tho iact that the United States are coming to be less a customer and more a rival of Great Britain in the various departments of manufactures.

Literary Tlracy Ainong Sloppy Writers. Philadelphia Press. Charges and counter-charges of literary theft are llyiug thick and fast among tho members of the erotic sloppy-weather school of American story-writers.

It is quite true that raanv "Friends" liva long. It is equally true that certain circumstances in their history militate against long lifo. Among these latter, intermarriage is perhaps the most important of all. The followers of Gcorgo Fox havo never been very numerous, but until lateycArs they have been extremely exclusive. The inevitable result of that has been extensive intermarriage throughout the whole community. The consequences of , the frequency of intermarriage havo been, and are still, very evident. Quakers, as a class, are not niuscularly robust: many of them are decidedly anicmic, and not a few are mentally feeblo. Yet. in spite of these practical and serious drawbacks, the Friends, as a clans, du more than their proportion of the world s serious business, and they manage to attain a high average of longevity. Now this isexactlv the kind of fact that true medical science likes to get hold of and to interrogate and learn from. What in tho reason, asks the sensible man. why Quakers, ith so many undoubted disadvantages, attain to such a high average of success in all that constitutes worthy life, and also succeed in enjoying their success to an exceptionally old age? The reason, we aro convinced, m to bo found in their quiet habits and disciplined life. An ordinary doctor, or even lajman, would probablv have felt much more interest in the subject at this point if we had been able to ailirm that the Quakers owed their success end long life to certain drugs, as, for example, to arsenic, phosphorus, strychnia ana tho like; or to certain methods of feeding, as vegetarianism, or meat eating, or fruit eating, or wine drinking, or teetotalism, or smoking, and so on. lint we submit that that shows a want of real mental capacity. For what, after all. is the true importance of the subject? Does it not consist in tho undoubted character of tho results? The results are really the things to be considered. As a matter of fact, the Quakers are successful in life. As a matter of fact, they do livo long. Then, surely, true science will not curl tho lip of scorn because these results are obtained b.v what ma3' bo called "natural and simple" processes, instead of by elaborate preparations and out-of-the-way methods.
