followed the snbject through the conrti and the Patent Otlice much is being eaid about the anticipated breaking of the telephone monopoly by the expiration of the principal patents under which it is notr operating. The patent on the transmitter and receiver, and also that npou the general idea o! transmitting sound by electricity will expire vrithfn twelve montns, when, it is stated, the telephone field will be free to a half dozen or more patents, and it is expected that tolls will rapidly decline in every State. In this connection it is noted that Congress, which is generally so attentive to the Interests of the citizens cf the District of Colombia, especially when it comes to anything in the direc tion of home government, has never attempted to check the exorbitant telephone rates which are charged in the capital of the Nation. A very ordinary service here taxes patrons $100 each a year, even where more than one is served by a single wire. In several Mates the Legislatures have fixed the maximum telephone charges at S3 a month tor service equal to that furnished here, and tne law Las withstood the test of the courts, while the service has not deteriorated. In Washington, which is the world of the 'economists" of Congress, the tendency of telephone rates has been constantly upward while going downward in tho States. INDIANA'S COAL OUTPUT.

Statistics Gathered by 1'rofessor Ptirher, of the Geological Survey. Special to the Iudiaitapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 22. Prof. E. W. Parker, of the geological survey, has just issued a bulletin on the subject of coal production of the United States, from which the following is taken relating to the coal product of Indiana: Total product in 1S01, 2.973.474 short tons; pot value, $3,070,018. Compared with the output of 1800, the product of the Indiana coal mines in 1801 shows a decrease of 463 short tons and a loss in value of 188,315. The decreased output is largely due to the three months' strike in the Brazil region, but whethertbis wouldaccount forso great a falling oil' is to be doubted. Every ellort possible with the means at hand has been made to secure reports from all mines of commercial importance in the state, but at the time of going to press quite a number of the larger producers have failed to respond to frequent inquiries, and tne output of such collieries has been estimated upon the best information obtainable. That such estimates may, in the aggregate, have been lower than the actual outpat. is very possible, and may account for a showing necessarily unsatisfactory to the producers of the State. While this is to be regretted, it is not a cause for apology on the part of the survey, in accordance with the foregoing, the product of the State in 1891. by bounties, is shown to have been as follows:

If Tammany II a a Its Way the QuarantineLaw Will Be a 'Worthless Act. '' Bpeclal to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 22. The late of the national quarantine bill will be decided in the House to-morrow, when the voting begins. The main contest will be over Mr. Cockran's amendment, which has already been adopted in committee of the whole, and which secures the Tammany quarantine of New York from all interference lrom the national government, and will again allow "Dick" Croker'a brother-in-law. Dr. Jenkins, to assume full control of the harbor in case of any danger of cholera. In view of Mr. Itayner's statement yesterday that the defeat of this amendment ' would mean the defeat of the bill, because the Tammany Democrats would vote against any national quarantine measure which did not protect the patronage and pickings of their local quarantine, it is probable that this amendment will be retained. Its presence in the bill makes the entire measure practically nugatory. Mr. Ulalne Weaker. WAsnzNOTOK, Jan. 22. That Mr. Blaine Is weaker is the only knowledge his pbysilians gained of any change in his condition to-day. He is apparently about the lame as he has been for several days past, tie retains conaciousness and does not apDcar to be better or worse, but the doctors have noted a slight loss of strength each day. Dr. Hyatt called this morning, and Dr. Johnston paid a visit to tbe patient V this afternoon. The doctors visited Mr. Blaine again at 0:C0 p. m., and reported that there was no material change in his condition. If anything, however, he was lliehtly weaker. The house was closed for Ihe night at 11 o'clock. Ir. Nlion Will Manage a Cincinnati Bank Special to the I mllau spoils JonrnaL Washington', Jan. 22. IL M.

REAR-END COLLISION. Engineer Killed and Fireman Hart In a Wreck on the IVtinjlvnla Koad. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. I'Kitu, Ind., Jan. 22. A disastrous rear end collision occurred early this morning on the Pennsylvania railway, at Amboy, twelve miles south of this city, making the second fatal accident near Fern within two days. Following are the casualties of this morning's wreck: MICHAEL MA LONE Y, engineer, scalded and horribly burned-dead when taken from tho wreck. E. J. TRIZE, fireman, severely injured by Jumping, but will recover. Several other trainmen were also hurt by jumping, but none of them seriously. The dead and injured were taken home to Logansport this evening. Tbe first section of the fast meat express, east-bound, had stopped at Amboy to tako water, and tbroush carelessness the second section was not flagged. It came along through the foggy morning at thirty-five miles an hour, crashing into the forward section on a bridge thirty-live feet high. The engine telescoped the caboose and four freight cars, but did not leave tho traok. The wreckage immediately took tire and was consumed on the track. Maloney intended to jump, but in reversing bis enuine got his foot fast in the reverse lever, and before he could extricate it he was in the wreck. lie was found in this position fonr hours later, having lived abont two hours, suffering untold agony. The engine is a complete wreck. The damage will amount to several thousands of dollars. The road was cleared for tr&fiio this evening. Thousands of people visited the scene during tbe day.

MISS II ATT IE VOORUEES. How the Senator Daughter Studied Catholic History Before Being Confirmed. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Terre Haute, lnd.t Jan. 22. The confirmation of Miss llattie Voorbees, daughter of tho senior Senator from this State, in the Roman Catholic Church has been much commented on here at the Senator's home. Miss Voorbees has not lived here in recent years, paying visits only at intervals of two or three years, yet she has many warm friends in Terre Haute. It was known tosornoof these that she had been deeply interested in the study of the history of the Catholic religion for several years, and that as most of her near friends at Washington are members of that church the step she has taken was not unexoected. A gentleman who has Known her from infancy, and is a olose friend of her father, speaking of the ceremony performed by Cardinal Uibbons at Washington last week, spoke in eulogistio terms of Miss Voorbees as a fido scholar, lie said that when more than a year ago she was inclined to join the church she began a course of reading such as would appall the ordinary man. Then she went to the convent of the Sacred Heart at Manhattanville. X Y., where she was tbe guest of the mother superior, and where the first preparations were made for the ceremony at Washington. Senator and Mrs. oorhees were members of the Episcopal Church. It was at St. Stephen's Church of that denomination that the funeral services of Mrs. Voorbees were conducted a few years ago. The Senator and the late Bayiess Hanna were conlirmed in the eauie church twelve or lifteen years ago. but tbe Senator has not kept up in attendance. ' "He and Day less lianua were the end men of a clans of children which was confirmed that day,'7 said a gentleman who was present. SWITCHMEN INTIMIDATED. Four of the L. E. & W.'s New. Men Induced to Quit by Mancle Striker. Special to the Indianapolis Journal Muxcie. Ind., Jan. 22. This morning thirteen switchmen arrived from Chicagn and were put to work in the L. K. fc W. yards. Soon a crowd of several hundred sympathizers of the strikers began hooting and howling at tbe men, calling, them scabs and vile names, and making such threats that four of the meu left tbe city on the next train for fear of their lives. The crowd went so far as to . throw snowballs, chunks of coal and other missiles at tbe men. With the protection of some police officers and General Superintendent Hill, and other railroad officials, three switch-engines were kept moving and enough relief was given the closed factories to start all of them to-morrow. This evening the new switchmen were taken to the new Southern Hotel, where the angry crowd followed them with threats that they would be killed if they did not at once leave the city. The men say they will remain aud work. The company ollicialssay they will have other men here to till the vacancies ana eventually ?et a force that will not be scared away. Ir. Hill says the report that the company would, in the future, ignore union labor is untrue, lie states that the company does not discriminate against union labor in selecting its employes. Ho also says if tho striking switchmen bad been members of the Switchmen's Mutual Aid Association he thinks the matter would have been adjusted in an entirely dillerent manner. The day has been one of groat excitement in tho city, and to-morrow's proceedings will be watched with much interest. TUE GOLDSMITH CASK. Some of Ita Peculiarities The Action or the Defense Almost Without Precedent. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Shelbyville, Jan. 22. In conversation with a learned attorney, to-day, about tho Goldsmith murder trial, and tbe rather unexpected verdict, your correspondent was told that, in many respects, eeveral circumstances in connection with it were of a remarkable nature. Theeausehad come under the judicial knowledge of five dillerent judges in two courts. In the first trial, a jury of eleven men brought in a verdict of guilty, tho attorneys agreeing that no irregularity should appear upon the records. When the jury was polled for their verdict, only eleven jurors responded, and this fact was made a cause for a new trial On the first few days of this trial the attorneys behaved so badly to eaoh other and for the amusement of the attendants and jury, that tho judge was compelled to place them under bond for good behavior and caution them several times afterward. Hut perhaps the most singular fact about it all is that the defendant, with five of the best criminal lawyers in this part of the Ktate, should submit his case without evidence. 'This is the first time," aaid the lawyer, "in the history of the State where a man charged with murder in the first degree was willing to submit without argument. It was a very risky thing to do uuless they were sure of the eitect of the evidence upon the jury. This course is sometimes, but not often, taken in civil suifti, but never, I believe, in this Stato has it been done in a murder trial. The opening speech by Trooecntor Waltmnn was clear, concise nnd convincing, and I cannot imagine why the defense would not place tueir theory of the evidence before tbe jury, unless they knew reasonably well about how tho jury

stood or could not agree as to which of them ebon Id speak." Wli! the Tenchera Strike? Ereclsl to the Indianapolis Journal. TirroN. Ind., Jan. ZL The teachers" of the public schools of Tipton county met Saturday and organized a union. The object, no doubt. Is the same as that of other unions. Tho teachers want to establish an oven grade of wages, as some townships have paid their teachers more than others. There is a diflerenco of wagt s existing in tbe dillerent counties in the State, and by the formation of unions it is thought1 by the promoters that a uniform price throughout the State can be established. Indiana orea. EH Frnetr, of Bedford, whose feet werft badly frozen on Saturday, the 14th, died yesterday morning from tbe eficcts of a surgical operation. Last week the Health Board of Tipton closed the several schools, and on Sunday the churches ere closed on account of diphtheria. Xo new cases have been reported for nearly one week. The large farm residence of John Warhle, west of Shelbyville. burned Saturday night with all its contents, valued at $3,500; partially insured. Two hundred dollars in money and all his notes and accounts went up in smoke. The Lagrange Farmers' Institute which closed Saturday passed a resolution favoring a law requiring holders of notes and mortgages to have them stamped by the assessor, otherwise they would not be collectable. It was thought that the present road laws required no change. A tLreo days institute will be held next year. DR. VAN DIKE'S WARNING.

Dangera Ahead for tbe Presbyterian Church if the Brings Case Is Tasked. New York. Jan. 22. The Rev. Dr. flenry Vandyke, pastor or the Brick Presbyterian Church, at Fifth avenue and Thirty-seventh street, told his congregation to-day that if the theory of tbe original Scriptures was to be set up as a test of his orthodoxy he would be driven from the Presbyterian Church. Dr. Vandyke's note of warning was uttered in unmistakable language, and he pointed out the dangers ahead if the Briggs case was to be pushed on to the end. He said in substance: "Tnis whole controversy is not a question about tbe Bible as It is, and has nothing to do with the infallibility of the Scriptures. It is simply a question about the difference between the Bible as it is and the Bible as it was in the original manuscripts. "This is tbe real theory of the inerrancy of the original manuscript and of the Holy Soriptures as they now exist. This particular theory proposes to divide the church. It is our first duty not to withdraw from tbe presbytery. It would be like abandoning a ship in stormy weather. Our consciences demand that we uphold our convictions. It is our duty to study to be quiet and mind our own business. Let ns mildly but firmly oppose every attempt to enforce the theory of inerrancy as tbe new test cf our orthodoxy, or to disturb the liberties we now enjoy.' WORRYING THE LION. Egypt's Curbed Khedive Inciting II I People Against Their English Masters..1 Cairo, Jan. 22. The good impression caused by the eticcess of Great Britain's intervention In the Egyptian Cabinet'affair is giving away to a feeling of great anxiety among tbe European residents, in.conseqnenco of tbe almost defiant attitude'since adopted by tbe Khedive. Tbe Khedive's open encouragement of popular demonstrations in his favor by ostentatious attendance at prayers in the mosque and performances in the opera-house has had tho effect of ureatly increasing. the excitement among the natives caused by the action of the British government. English officials hero believe that the Khedive's courao has shaken the British position in Egypt and. endangered the progress of the reforms instituted by the British government. Wrecked by Dynamite Ilombi. Rome, Jan. 23. Dynamite bombs wero exploded almost simultaneously this afternoon before the Angleter, and in the garden of the proprietor's house, in the Via San Ciaudie. Tho hotel was partly' wrecked. Plaster was shaken from the i walls and ceilings: beams were: sprung from the walls and floors sauk two or three feet before the occupants could run out. Every window and every piece of crockery, glass and brio-a-brac in, the hotel was shattered. Tho front wall; was cracked in three places to, the second floor, and at the door where the bomb exploded a large hole was torn. Nobody was injured, although tbe. hotel had more than one hundred lodgers at the hour of tbe explosion. The proprietor's house, in tho Via San Ciaudie. was less damaged. All windows were smashed for one hundred yards on every side. No walls were cracked, however, and but little of the glassware crockery and fnroiture was harmed. Nobody was injured; the family had left home for the afternoon. A discharged employe is thought to be responsible. "Saint" Teresa Healing tAe Slclr. Hf.rmosillo, Mexico, Jan. 21. Teresa Ilrrea, the living patron saint ox the Yaqul Indians, who was banished from her mountain home in this State several months ago by order of tho government, the charge against her beincr that she was working up a spirit of warfare among the Indians, is making her home at Nogales, Ariz., just across tho Mexican line. She continues to perform many miraculous cures by simply laying on her band, and thousands of ignorant Mexicans and Indians have visited -her since she was exiled. The people of Nogales have taken a kindly interest in tho remarkable girl, whose powers of healing tbe sick and atllictcd are mysterious. "Saint" Teresa is a beautifulgirl, seventeen years of age. Young Lunlng's Insanity. London, Jan. 22. The fact3 as to the sndden mental derangement of John tuning, eon of a San Francisco millionaire, and bis subsequent -removal from the yacht Alert at Nice to Paris, have been learned. Luning began actinc peculiarly when half way across the Atlantic. He grew rapidly worse until his arrival at Nice, where , the friejidH whom he had been entertaining decided that for his own welfare they ought to place him under restraint, lie was taken to Paris and placed in a private asrlum. Luning had planned to marry in Paris a young woman from New York who was there awaiting his arrival. Luning wasa conduetoron a New York elevated railroad when, by his father's death, he became heir to 2,e0'J,0lX). Ilutnnr About Gladstone' rinalth. . London, Jan. 22. Mr. Gladstone has received hundreds of letters in the last few days and scores of callers making inquiries as to the state of his health. The reports that ho is failing have caused great solicitude amoug the advocates of home rule. To dispel all doubts he walks and drives frequently in the parks, besides sending occasional denials that he is feeling less strong and energetic than formerly. There is general apprehension among Liberal Englishmen, however, that their Prune Minister is not eo well as he and. his friends would make the world believe. It is impossible to verify these apprehensions, as Mr. Glad stone is verr closoly guarded by his fomily and nearest friends, and only personal and political intimates are able to gain access to him.

John Webster was standing about twenty feet from the tank and was only touched by a few vagrant drops from the muea of fire that was liying over him. Tho blazing. Hying oil was distinctly visible at Alton, four miles away, several persons statin; they saw it, and to be visible there it must have reached u height of over two hundred feet. i was standing 250 feet west of the tanks," eaid James H. H. Manpin to the reporter, "when the explosion came. 1 had just remarked to a gentleman near me that 1 was afraid gas would be generated in thetwo tanks, which afterwards burst, and which were then surrounded by burning oil. The roar made by tbe burning oil told mo it contained an unusual amount of gas, and 1 utartea to go to my horse, which was hitched home distance away. Just ns 1 started the explosion came. There was a dull sound, and for an instant my eyes were blinded by the Hash. Then I saw a huge wall of fire coming directly toward me. 1 remember now that it was to high as to be away above the tree tops, and must have been three hundred feet high. The sight was a moat beautiful one, but I was too close for comfort, and 1 ran as fast aa 1 could from the approaching oil. I was just in time, for as it was my overcoat was set on fire by some drops of the burning fluid which reached nie. As I hastily pulled It of) there rushed by me what I could hardlydistingnish for the sheets of liame ae human beings. I hastily threw my overcoat over the man nearest to me, and then rolled him over in tbednst.' After extinguishing the fire 1 cut oft' his boots and the upper part et his clothing, and told him to go to tbe station. Afterwards I assisted two more victims who rushed past me, shrieking and howling in agony. Thirty or forty others passed me while I was assisting these poor wretches. I afterward learned that the first man I assisted was Edward Manpm a man whose surnnmo is the same as my own. but of whom 1 never before beard. After this I jnmped in my buggy and hastened to Alton for medical assistance." Many other witnesses were interviewed, but all tell practically the same story. No traee had been found of the runaway switchman. Richard Grattan. A rumor that he returned to his work this morning proves on investigation to be unfounded, and it is thought he has left for good. The total loss to the company, so the railway officials etatr, t-nisht. will be between $125.(00 and cW.OOO.

BISHOP KEANE EXPLAINS What an Apostolic Delegation Means to the Catholic Church in America. Washington, Jan. 22. Bishop Keane, rector of the Catholic University here, where Mgr. Satolh'a . permanent headquarters are established, gave a special dinner to-day in honor of the designation of Mgr. Satolli as permanent apostolio delegate to the United States. The guests included Dr. McGlynn and his friend, liishop Moore, of St. Augustine. Fia., and the faculty of the university. The speeches at the dinner, which were all delivered in the Latin tongue, were both animated and interesting. Bishop Keane, Bpenking of the apostolio delegate's mission to the United States, said in substance: "I was recently asked if I could illustrate, by a comparison, the relation of this ollicetotbe church in tho United States. I auswered that it seemed to me very similar to the change that took place when a territorial government was elevated to the dignity of a State government in any portion of the Union. A Territory ib governed by a bureau; a State m governed by a Constitution of its own similar to those of original colonies. Thus far the church, in the United States, has been in tbe territorial category, governed bv the Holy Father through the bureau of the Propaganda. Now it approaches the dignity of a regular governmental organization, and hatjestahliihsd in its midst a branch of the Holy Father's Supreme Court. Thus we can take an honest onde in the event which we honor tod'ftv. Long life, therefore, to our great and beloved holy father, Leo XIII, and long life to his worthy representative, our apostolio delegate. Archbishop Satolli." Mgr. Satolli, in reply, referred to the Pope's love for the American people, in evidence of which he cited his own appointment as permanent opoitolic delegate to this country, lie also thanked Bishop Keane for having aiforded him facilities to make his residence in the university, and spoke in high praise of that institution and of the great good it would accomplish. AdvUed to Obey Their Archbishop. Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 22. Mgr. Satolli has exercised his powers as papal ablegate in a controversy between Father Kepytkiwicz and the congregation of the Polish Church of St. Stanislaus. The members of tbe congregation entered numjerous complaints against their pastor to Archbishop Kyan. and desired that be be removed from the charge. The Archbishop declined to remove tbe priest, and about two weeks ago a committee from tbe congregation called upon Mcr. Satolli and laid the tacts of the case bofore him and asked him to intervene. Yesterday a letter was received from Mgr. Satolli's secretary by the committee, advising them in tbe name of his Excellency to accept the decision of their archbishop. Corrlgan May Be AdmonUlied. London, Jan. 22. Tbe Rome correspondent of the Chronicle says: "It is expected that Archbishop Corngan, of New York, will receive a severe admonition from the Pope in res&rd to bis opposition to Archbishop Satolli and Archbishop Ireland. It has been decided that tbe new Papal delegate will resido in Washington." Movements of Steamers. New York, Jan. 12. Arrived: Anrania, from Liverpool; Greece, from London; La Normandie, from Havre.
