THE PRATER RUG A recent letter from the Orient tells of a Turkish merchant at his devotions: lie waa standing on a rug in the back of tbe tore, looking toward Mecca and mumbling the K oran. He must Dave teen rue m I entered rith a partyrf Americans, and tbouuh ho knew I Intended to bu j he pahl no attention to xne. He continued his kurrllcg down and rising up for fully fifteen minutes, and I eat down and waited until be was through. Tbero were many other rug establishments near by, and be must have known that he fctocd tbe chance of a loss of sale by not attending to me. Thl made no difference, however, to him. It would he a curious thin? to see a merchant in New York or Chicago top nli sales in the middle of the day and drop down on his knees and pray in tho presence of his customers.

TAKEN FROM THE DARK SIDE

Asa Kecreation from Bossisra, Coy Proposes to Enter the Literary Ranks. He Will Increase the Interest of Chapters on Politics by Telling What He Knows About Criminals of Many Grade3. Yesterday afternoon a Journal reporter called on Simeon Coy, at his suburban retreat, and found him in an npper room, leaning back in an easy chair, tbe smoke of a lino Havana making a halo about his head. The restored boss of Marion county Democracy was the picture of comfort, his smooth, round face beaming food nature. "How did you know I was writing a book?"' inquired he. The re porter murmured something about a canary bird having brought the information. "Well, it's true," quoth ho. "no matter how you got it. I am getting out a book of my experiences, and on Tuesday next it will go into tho hands of tho printer." "How large will tho book be!" inquired tho reporter. "Here's the manuscript," was the answer of the Democratic boss, pointing to a table upon which was about a ream of closelywritten foolscao. "I am told it will mak a book of 400 paces. You never took me ior 'ono of them literary fellers.' did youf

AY ell. it is a new field lor me,, but I havo tho material, and I have no doubt tho book will be very interesting reading to a large number of people. 1 certainly hope bo, for I want to make some money out of it." "When did the idea of writing a book lirsti come to youf" 'Very soon after my arrival at the fnorth$rn prison. 1 began to think the matter over audto prepare for it. After I was installed in the hospital department I became interested in the library and read a great many things, in fact everything 1 could lay hands on, concerning criminals, prison discipline and prison reform. I gave, on an average, six hours a day to snch study. I read a great deal of ancient history and considerable biography. When 1 was a lad I read considerable in books, but when I engaged in politics and business I had no time to read anything but tho daily papers. I saw that my opportunity whs at hand and I began a systematic course of reading. I read the Bible throueh twice, from Genesis to Kevelation. Here." said Mr.Coy, picking up a well-worn book, "is tho Bible I found at the iuMtitutiou and brought home with me. After looking thiough ancient history, 1 found a man could not post himself on ancient history .without beginning with tho Bible, so I took it up first. 1 read John Howard's work on prison reforms, and became deeply interested in it. 1 recognized the fact that I hud an opportunity that lew men have had to do good by giving to tho world tho result of my observations while in prison, for I had gone there under very diflereut circumstances from other inmates, and my surroundings while there wero of advantage to me in the work I had outlined. I was in the hospital, whero all classes of criminals came to be treated for accidents or diseases. These men talked to mo freely, and I studied them carefully. I have, you know, always been credited with being a'student of men, and perhaps I am. a rather close observer of human nature. In fact. I am rarely deceived in a man. I suppose I know more men inside the walls of that prison than any nr.in in there, and know them better. I found a great many men in tho prison whom 1 had known on the outside, and there was not a man in there who had not heard of me.V "Did you have any dilliculty in getting their confidence!" "Not a bit. I had befriended nnito a number of them on the outside, and those men are much less apt to forget a favor than one might suppose. The prisoners there would say to me what they would not say to any oilicial, or to any one else. 1 met men who were in there for long terms, and would sit and talk with them for hours, and even whole days over their past lives, until 1 became familiar with nearly all the noted criminals in the institution, and of many daring deeds of which the public knew little or nothing, and the . doers of which wero not even snspected. Shortly after I got in I began to keep notes of conversations I had with these men, and I heard many strange stories. It was when I bad fairly begun npon my system of taking notes that a gentleman visited me, and, fully approving what I was doing, told me to go ahead and collect material for a book, and give a full account of my prison experience as well as my political career. As a sample of some of the things that came to me 1 will give you an instance. Of. course von havo heard of the notorious Bliukey Morgan. Well, I have an occurrence that has never been published which I will put in my book. 1 shall tell with full details of a murder committed by Morgau, the victim being a pal. Blinkey buried him; though much inquiry was made for him nothing was ever known or even snspected of the cause of his disappearance." "What benefit did you derive from your investigation of prison reform?" "From personal experience, 1 found there are many men in prison who would inako good citizens if released. Many men in there for murder are, in my opinion, thoroughly repentant and reformed men, and could bo allowed their liberty with safety to society. On the other hand, there are many serving short sentences who ought never to be turned loose upon society. The northern prison is as good un institution of tho kind, perhaps, as there is in this country. In conversation with men, and I think I found there men who had served in almost every prison in the country, I was told time and again that tho Michigan City prison was a paradiso as prisons go. Tho men are kindly treated, tho rules are not carried out with severity, and tho men are controlled by Kindness to a greater, extent than prevails in other prisons. 'Warden Murdock is a safe man. and haa dorm everything possible under the Jaw.' He has asked the Legislature to enact laws that would benefit the prisoners, improvo the prison, and would be of beuetit to society, but nothing has come of these requests. There should be a law allowing the complete separation of prisoners into classes, the firsttimers from the old and repeated offenders. I found one man in the prison who had been there eight times, auother seven and quite a number who had been there six times. Now those are old and hardened offenders. I believe tho criminal laws of Indiana should be so changed as to conform in some respects with the laws of Ohio and Illinois. Acts relating specially to habitual criminals should be passed; there should be a parolo or ticket-of-leavo system and a board of pardons. I have taken some spaco to these matters in my book, treating them in a practical sort of way. The Governor of Indiana has no time to look through the pardon applications, which should bo looked through carefully. The Governor of a State like ours must, in many cases, have a great burden laid upon his conscieuco in these pardon matters. If a board of pardons ho created tho law should provide that the members of tho board meet every three months at the prison to examine all applications, and in addition to that in--ciuire into the conduct of every prisoner in the institution. They should examine the records and advise themselves of the facts in all cases." . Hero the little Democratic boss lighted a fresh cigar, and continued: ' "I lay considerable stress on the separation of prisoners and giving marks of conduct. This record should be submitted to the pardon board every three months, and on these marks 6ome prisoners should be allowed to go out on parole or ticket-of-leave, while others should bo advanced or lowered in record." "What about work for prisoners!" Q"You know that good streets and roadways is my hobby. I believe there should be a work-houso in every county in the State, even though it be only a shed attached to a jail. There are tramps and thoHO who commit the smaller offences and crimes who should be made to crack stone, and this stone should be put upon the 6t reots of the cities aud towns. J ustices and police magistrates should be given moro power to commit such offenders, and they ought to be kept well supplied with stone to break. There are many offenders who get off lightly who ouht to be given six months. For a second offense they should be given a short sentence in the penitentiary, and for a third Offense be kept there until the board of pardons would see fit to release them. Some of this may seem severe, but if men arecontinually committing crimes and violating the law there is certainly little room for reformation, and they should b& kcut

in for tho security of the community. Ohio, has tried the parole system for three years, and has found it to work well. Out of almost three hundred men paroled during that time only 2 per cent, returned to prison for anything like serious crimes, a few having been returned fordrunkenii t j.i and petty' misdemeanors, liy means of work-housea and th parole system the criminal record would in a few years be greatly changed. The number of criminals would be greatly reduced. The workhouses would be turning out material for streets and highways, which would be covered with broken stone, laid by free labor (not by prisoners) at a very little cost. There are, on an average, eighty-five men at our work-house all tho time. If their labor was taken up in breakiug stone, and that stone placed upon our street, it would not be long until Indianapolis would havo first-class roadways." "What is your view of employing convicts in the fctate prison!" "I have a statement in my book covering that, subject. I am satistied that labor of some kind must be maintained in every state's prison. It is for the benefit of the prisoner himself. If left wholly without employment his mind is opt to become weakened, perhaps his reason will be overthrown. There is a proof of this in the New York prisons, where convict labor was abolished,uud many became deranged. I observed in the northern prison that men employed on contract labor as a rule finished their tasks by 4 o'clock in tho afternoon. Some -would finish as early ns a 2 o'clock, aud would then sit in tho shops and read the papers, or make trinkets of various kinds lor themselves. There were a few who required all the working hours to complete their tasks. Work is a blessing to them. It is in tho evening on retiring to their cells that discontent siezes tho prisoner. It is then that ho broods over his wrongs, and perhaps maps out a course to pursue when he gets out," "What do they read?'' The library has about three thousand volumes, and the books are well selected. There is, also, a school of forty-eight persons who are learning tbe common English brauches. I think it would be well to havo the soiiool system enlarged, in employing teachers, and have all the prisoners attend. There are prisoners who would make good teachers, aud such employment would be of benefit to them. Tho northern prison turns 510,000 a year into the treasury, a part of which it ought to be permitted to use as a school fund. I have thought over tho maUcr of physical exercises, such as gymnastics, etc., but that would be impracticable under the present system. Were the prisoners graded it might profitably bo done." "Will the book be illustrated!" "Only so far as to havo my own picture. Tho people 1 have met will be in this book; tho politicians and everyone else. I have been a rather stirring man; have becu considered somewhat active in politics, and havo met many who have had to do with the affairs of this world. As I said before, I am inclined to belisvo my book will be very interesting reading."

BACILLUS CIHN0V0RAX HUMAXUS. A Discovery by an Indiana Man Which Will Make Hairless Millions Hurrah. Baldhcadcd men who have had to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune in the shape of the gibes of thoso who sit behind them at the opera, and catch the glory of the ballet reflected from their shining nobs, will be pleased to learn that an Indiana chemist has paved the way for their deliverance. This is not an advertisement, and tho individual who speaks of chestnuts, or who mutters "rats," without further applying his ear to wisdom and his heart to understanding, may have occasion to regret his hasty judgment. It seems some German scientist, finding his forehead reaching further back . than was strictly demanded by the laws of beauty, began to investigate the subject closely, and found that the damage was caused by a microbe, which, for the sake of brevity and to distinguish it from other parisites, he called the Bacillus Crinovorax Hamanus. This microbe, we are told, is shaped like tho point of a needle, and has a power of rotary motion like a gteam drill, which it uses to bore into the scalp of the victim, loosening tho fastenings of his thatch, and finally unroofing ,him as completely as the Kansas cyclone unroofs the humble habitation of the hardy settler. It might be supposed that with these powerful qualities of distructiveness tho it. C. II. could pursue its infamous career of desolation unobstructed, but the Indiana man has devised a preparation which promptly reduces it to a condition of innocuous desuetude. The first doso causes it to abandon its nefarious occupation, and remark on the rapidly-growing unhealthf nlness of the neighborhood, and the next application causes it either to vacate the premises or give up a troublesome aud misspeut life. Not only does it rid the settlement of the unwelcome intruder, but it deters others of like ilk from coming in to take up tho abandoned claim, aud the owner of tho poll, who formerly went about with . a cranium as bare as a billiard ball, thereafter rejoices like Absalom in the beauty and luxuriance of his locks. It has been said that tho man who causes two blades of grass to grow where but one grew before is the greatest benefactor of his race, hut how much greater is the Indiana man who. by destroying the B. C. H., causes whole plantations to appear where before existed an arid and barren desolation! GOSPEL TEMPERANCE. The Murphy Klne-IUbbon League Continues Its Good Work. Tho gospel temperance meeting at Masonic Hall, yesterday afternoon, was fairly well attended, Charles H. Reynolds, of tho Blue-ribbon League, presiding. Addresses were delivered by Kev. Mr. Keunedy, of Grace M. E. Church, Capt. Jack Wirt and Dr. W. B. Fletcher. Captain Wirt told of his struggles to quit drink, and his final success. "Itpays to quit," said the Captain. "Francis Mlirphy is a good man to take into partnership. I took him as a partner, when, a short time ago, 1 started in the bakery business at No. 6 Indiana avenue- 1 began with a twenty-five pound sack of Hour a day, and had a hard time. I now bake a barrel a day. 1 have not tasted liquor einco the TJthday of last May." .Quite a number of men came forward and signed the pledge. It is intended to have a larger meeting next Sunday, and Dr. Van Anda and others will be invited to address the league. Olive-Street Chnrch. Captain Wirts, of this city, Mr. Cameron, of Terre Haute, and others addressed a large audience, last night, on gospel temperance, at the Olive-street Presbyterian Church. To-night a meeting in the same interest will be addressed by John U. King and others. The league that has been formed in that part of thecity will meet Tuesday night, and there will be services at the church every evening this week. LIGHT INFANTRY VETERANS. A Militia Company That Has Been Serviceable to the State and Won Several Prizes. The Indianapolis Light Infantry Vetcr--ans' Association will hold another meeting to-night in Tomlinson Hall. The constitution of tho organization provides for four quarterly meetings and ono annual banquet to be held, the. latter Feb. 22, of each year. The last regular quarterly meeting was held a week ago last Saturday night, but much important business remained to be transacted. The compauy from which these veterans come was orgauMay 0. 1877, with N. 11. Kuckle as captain. He was succeeded by Capt. James li. Koss under whom the company made distinctive progress, although Captain Buckle had brought its efficiency to a high staudard. The company soon became noted for its steadiness, discipline and general good qualities. It has done more service lor the State in the suppression of riot and the guarding of public property than auy other. Jt has made at good record in its competition for prizes. In IhSl. at St. Louis, it took eighth place, but iu 1W2, at Nashville, it rose to fourth. In 1851, when the eucampment was held in this city, it carried oil both the Stato and interstate prizes. At Louisville, in 1SSL it ranked third, and at Fairmount Park, one year later, it once more fell back to fourth.

IT CLOSED WITH A MURDER

Oscar Jotinson Killed at a Dance Because He Attempted to Stop a Quarrel. The Murderer Lawrence Escapes, andthe Police Spend Hours in a Fruitless Search An Employer Attacked by an Employe. Shortly after 2 o'clocfc yesterday morning Oscar Johnson (colored) was shot and instantly killed hj John Lawrence, also colored, the quarrel arrisicg over attcntentions both were paying to a young woman. Fur the past three weeks a number of colored people have met on Saturday nights in the hou.se of Peter Burke, an iceman on Michigan street, between Crown Hill and the wcrk-house. On these occasions dancing has been kept up to the early hours of Sunday morning, and beer has been Reived in largo quantities. On several occasions free fights and quarreling have occurred. Nearly all who were present yesterday morning when the shot was fired were in a drunken condition, and at that time tho company was separating for the night. A quarrel arose about John Jeans taking one of the women homo, aud Johnson endeavored toimake peace. Lawrence tried to Sersuade him not to interfere, whereupon ohnson, it is claimed, struck Lawrence. Blows wero exchanged, and, Lawrence, drawing a revolver, fired three shots. Two of them went wide , of the mark, but the third btruck Johnson in the abdomen. "He has killed me," the wounded man said with a groan, ns he fell to the ground. The murderer, immediately after the shooting, which occurred in the rear of Burke's house, clambered over the fence and running through a corn-field, raado off in tho direction of the country. This was the last seen (rthim. Tho people gathereiTabout Johnson, lilted him from the ground and carried hinu into the house. He was yet living, but hi an .unconscious eddition, and "expired shortly afterward. Bpth Johnson aud Lawrence were about twenty years of ago. The latter has been living with his mother, on West Second street, and was employed in Bristor's poultry-hous. The murdered man and the murderer had known each other for years, both were good vocalists and were members of a colored quartet whose talent had been in demand at other than colored gatherings. Fanny Kwing, who lives at bo Missouri street, was present at the time of the murder, and says that five minutes before the shooting the men were on good terms, laughing and talking to each other. Sho heard the shooting and spoke to Johnson after he received the fatal wound, but could not get a reply, as his mouth was filled with blood. All day yesterday and last night officers were searching the murderer's usual places of resort, but without success as to finding him or discoveringanythiugconceminghis whereabouts. It is thought that after tho crime was committed Lawrence walked the tracks for some distance, boarded a freight train, and is at present . in Chicago. Captain Bruce, howover, is inclined to discredit the idea of the murderer's flight, and is of the opinion that he is secreted somewhere in the city. A telephone message was received at polico headquarters at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, stating that tho murderer was coming down to the station to give himself up, but nothing came of it. OfhcerTiupIe was sent out earlv yesterday morning to Burke's house, but the evideuco he gathered only substantiated that given above. Ono of the two firot ehots fired by Lawrence took effect in the arm of a colored girl named Lizzie Johuson, but sho, also, cannot bo found by tho police. Polico officer Wilson, who was watching a house on North Missouri street last night, declares that he distinctly saw a colored man, answering to the description of Lawrence, looking out of the window of the house. The otlicer went to the rear of the premises to etlect an entrance, and, while endeavoring to do, the man, whoever it was, escaped through a side door, aud made off in the direction of the State-house. After being viewed by Coroner Waguer, the body of Johnsou was removed to the homo of his mother, No. 114 Clinton street. A Murderona Assault. A murderous assault was committed yesterday morning on Walter Heintry, of S.K East Market 6trcet, a brick-layer and contractor. Heintry has in his employ a man named J. F. Piper, who lives at 175 East Washington street, and on Saturday last hard words passed between tho two men. the trouble being cansed by a difierence of opinion concerning tho amount of wges Piper earned. Yesterday morning Pipermet his employer on the btreet, and drawing a pen-knife from his pocket, made a victims lunge with it at Heintry's hcad The stiff hat which the latter wore prevented a dangerous wound being inflicted, the scalp only being slightly cut. Again and again the attack was repeated, Heintry warding off the knifo with his arm, until at length one slash along the lieshy part of tho arm laid the bono bare, dividing muscle and artery. By this time a crowd had collected, and Piper ran off. t Heintry was in great danger of losing.his life from loss of blood before the arrival of the doctors, but a b3'-stauder bound his handkerchief tightly round tho injured arm above the wonnd, partially stopping the How of blood. Drs. Bell and Pantzer attended tho man's injuries, .and in their opinion, if nothing worse results, Heintry will lose the use of his arm. Piper, half an hour after the occurrence, wr.lked into the polico station and gave himself up. FEATURES OF THE STAGE. Tho Ilrocken Scene In Faust1 Not Appreelated by Nervous People. "When wo were at Worcester, Mass., last May," said John II. Garrison, business manager for Lewis Morrison, the star of the "Faust" company, "wo had a rather strange experience by fire. Wo had filled one engagement, and everybody connected with tho company had left the theater. Shortly after 3 o'clock tho next morning an alarm of fire was turned in from the operahouse, and everything was destroyed. All of our scenery and outfits were lost except one property trunk, which was empty at the time. Tho loss to us was somewhere in the neighborhood of 15,000, and we wero in a dilemma as to what was the proper course to pursue. We had ono other engagement at Worcester, and for the nights following were to appear at ono or two other places. Mr. Morrison and. I had a consultation over the situation, and decided to skirmish around over the immediato vicinity aud borrow enough scenery to carry on a few performances. Early the next day we went to Boston, aud there borrowed everything we could find appropriate for our play. Tbe next night wo rigged up for a performance, and gave it." "W ell, alter all," asked the reporter, "does not Morrison's greatest power lie in tho weirdness of the play!" "To a certain extent it does. Tho production of Faust, if correctlv carried, out, requires a great deal of it. I don't think I have ever seen any scenic effects on tho etago equal to those in what is known as the Brocken scene, during which Mephisto invokes the shower of infernal fires. It is the rule rather than the exception for women to get up aud leave the house during that act. All the horrors depicted throughout tho entire play are cosummated in that scene and it is shocking to the nerves of some people. I remmberonce in Columbus, O., one woman, as the scene was begun, gave a little subdued cry of horror and as guickly as she could she left the house, ho told me afterward that tho duel scene was so horrible that she had to exercise tbo greatest self-control to see it through. 'But,1 6he said, 'I draw the line at that. That Brocken scene is too much for my nerves.' In Danville, 111., once, a gentleman came to me aud asked mo about the Bcene, as, he said, he desired to bring hi3 wife with him, and she was a very nervous woman. I described it to him, and he brought her. Before the curtain went up on the scene, however, sho left her sear, and, going into tho lobby, remained theie until it was over. I followed her, out c.f mere curiosity, and found her with her ear to tho key-hole of ono of tho doors. .SJie was willing to hear, but not to see." Amusement Notes. The engagement of" Ezra Kendall, the comedian, will begin at English Operahouso to-night, when that laughable farce,
