WILL REACH $30,000 Loss at the Alexandria NaturalGas Explosion Saturday.

Greencastlo Marshal Shot by a Coatesville Desperado Jason iirown's Kcnomiiiation a Bail Misfit. ALEXANDRIA. Ind.. April L The new two-story WhltesIJes Block, In which occurred the explosion last midnight by which four men were killed and three hurt. Is a total wreck. The clothing stock was entirely ruined, as were the barber shop and express office, and the total monetary loss will reach $30,000. There was a basement several feet In depth under the building with no ventilation, and In this cavity the natural gas accumulated. It is thought to have become ignited through the fire In the stove. There Is said to have been a quantity of nitroglycerine In the express office, and some claim that to be alone the cause of the explosion, and that It was caused by a can falling from off a shelf where It had been placed, but the preponderance of evidence appears to prove it to have been due to the accumulation of natural gas In the manner described. The calamity Is due to the carelessness of the -architects in leaving no ventilation for the basement to prevent the gas accumulating and the Inefficiency of the plumbers. After fighting the flames for hours the rescuers were able to reach the bodies of the dead men, and the four blackened corpses, burned so as to be entirely beyond recognition, were removed from the charred timbers and taken to their homes.

Special to the Indianapolis JournaL SEYMOUR, Ind., April -Disappointment and chagrin were depicted upon the faces of the friends of Congressman Jason Brown this morning when they learned that Stockslager had carried Scott county Saturday. They had hoped and expected that their idol would at least secure two votes In the delegation from that county. Having failed to secure a vote In the last three counties which have held primaries. Brown will hav to carry a solid delegation from the remaining counties, namely, Jackson, Jennings and Jefferson, to secure his nomination. Harrison county Is conceded to Stockslager, which will give him within four of enough votes to nominate him. The uprising against Brown U mostly caused by hia not having enough offices to distribute among the horde of hungry Democrats. Hundreds of men who wanted offices In this district and failed to get them have turned against him and have worked successfully for his overthrow. There is a strong feeling against Brown In this, his own county, and if it were not for the unit rule which governs the Democratic primary, there is no doubt that Stockslager would secure enough votes to Insure his nomination without the aid of the other counties.

The friends of Coates College, the Presbyterian fWnale Institution, have decided to make A thorough canva? of the city to raise JiJ.Ouo and pay its d'bt, and thus stop the scheme to remove the college to Crawfordsville. There is some hope of raising J10.KX) from the Chicago presbytery to help meet the obligation. The Institution has been a heavy drain on a comparatively few Terre Haute citizens, who ve given largely to meet current obligations, &&4 for that reason it has been deemed

best to make the effort to lift the debt and establish a new management. The debt once paid and the Interest charge done away with. It Is believed that the school can be managed on a paying basis. Erilnhnrjr Dcmocrntn Will Protest. Special to the Indlanapoll3 Journal. EDINBITRG, Ind., April 1. A petition is being circulated and signed by Democrats protesting against th appointment of Frank M. Cutsinger as postmaster at Edinburg. Cutsinger received the highest vote at the election on Saturday. The ground of the protest is that he is not a resident of this congressional district, and that his election was corruptly secured. This protest is reported as being largely signed, and Is to be forwarded to Congressman Cooper and the claims of resident candidates urged. The result of the election has caused widespread dissatisfaction, and is causing a breach that will not be easily healed. Any steps that Mr. Cooper may make will only aggravate the feelings on either side. Richmond Wtintn the L. A. W. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND. Ind., April 1.

Still No Xevrs of the Steamer Ems and She May lie at the Bottom. NEW YORK, April l.-No news of the Ems, fourteen days out from Southampton, has arrived. Fully five hundred people applied at the barge office and at the piers of the North German Lloyd Company in Hoboken to-day to find out if any word had been received. It was with heavy hearts that some of those who called went to their homes. Even the most sanguine now admit that the steamship has met with some accident, probably a bad one, as never before has any overdue vessel of thl3 class been overdue more than thirteen days. The officials of the North German Lloyd Company were at the docks in Hoboken to-day awaiting some tidings of the vessel. The Saale, of the same line, which left Bremen on March and Southampton on the following day. Is due here tomorrow, and there are hopes that she will be able to tell something of the missing steamship. In the event of the Ems going south the hopes rest on the arrival of the Fulda, of the North German Lloyd Company, which Is due Tuesday. The latter traverses the Genoa route, which Intersects the Southampton route at longtlude 47 degrees. She may bring some word of the Ems. Three European steamships arrived today and brought no news of the Ems. Telegraph wires were kept busy all day communicating with Halifax and St. Johns, N. F., in the hope that word might reach either of those places regarding the Ems. There was nothing from them, although the disappearance of the steamship has caused the people there great anxiety, and they are eagerly awaiting some news. It is believed "at Halifax, the same as here, that the vessel had either collided with an Iceberg or a derelict, or broken her shaft and gone to the south. Movements of Flennier.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. DANVILLE, 111.. April 1. The Chicago & Eastern Illinois trainmen ere on the fence regarding their course of action concerning the proposed cut In wages. The poll of the road, counted to-day, disclosed the fact that the engineers and conductors are about equally divided on the strike question. Some of the conductors who favor a ctrike are very indignant that so many of their order, when the pinch came, should vote against a strike. In the conductors' meet ing, held in this city to-day, they read the riot act to the weak-kneed brethren. No definite action was taken, and it seems prob able that the men-may be compelled on ac count of lack of unanimity among themselves to accept the schedule offered by the officials of the road.

He Often Wont Hungry nnd Cold, hut Wan l'n It ii i )'. R. H. Sherard, in McClure's Magazine. I now found myself face to face with life, without even the degree necessary for the most humble position in any of the branches for which I was suited. I wa without money and had practically two people to support. Thanks to M. Labot, who had been a frien 1 of my father's. I got a clerkship at a kin'i of entrepot in the Rue de la Douane, where I was paid 6 francs a month. Rut the work wai such utter drudgery, and the prospects of any improvement in position so utterly negative, that I preferred to ri?k starvation nan to continue 'there, anl I resigne 1 after two months of the worst slavery I have ever passed through. I had then ab?ut eighteen months of the most miserable BohemianIsm to ptj through, without position, without money, without work, starving m:s: of the time, and reduced to the most dreadful expedients for a meal of bread and crccsj. Yet during all this time I continued to write poetry, and nothing but poetry. My pleasure was to walk along the uuayp, spending hours In read.ng the looks eiposfd for sale, and often an object of suspicion to the booK sellers, for I was dreadfully shabby. I remember what a shocking overcoat I had at that time. It was quite green w.th age and threadbare a 1 over. At that timf I was living on tie seventh story of a house In the Rue it.Yictor. Later on I moved to the Uue St.-Etienne-du-Mont, where for the first tlT.e I was separated frm my mother. I lived in a sort of belvedere on the very to.) of the house, where It was a legend that my abode had once bien .tenanted by Rernardin de St. lMerre. I never had a lire all thce cold months, and. when I could afford a candle, it was my great Joy. A candle meant that I could work at lite-aiure. which was then my absorbing passion, a 1 through the nlpht. The days when I cou'd add to my pennyworth of bread a pennyworth of cheese, or a cup of black coffee, I considered mys:lf rolling In luxury: but most often bread, and not too much of that, formed my sole diet. I rememter once having to come home in my shirtsleeves on a bitterly cold winter's dav. because I had given my overcoat to a young lady, whom 1 was then courting, to pawn for her own needs. All the same, I was never happier, for I had found o it what was to be my walk In life, an I had found out, too. that, in spite of all dinicultles, 1 could work steadily and with m?thcd. CroKM Fertilization. New York Independent. Farmers and vegetable growers believe that cucumbers, melons, pumpkins and squashes grown near each other will be so influenced by the pollen from the different classes of flowers us to considerably modify the character of the fruit, and in many cases to render them worthless. Hence the advice Is often given never to plant any of these classes near each other. Rven works treating of exact science bring up this Impression as an authenticated fact and use it to show that there is an immediate effect on the quality of fruit following fertilization by the pollen of some other species. Some eminent experimenters, such as Naudln In France and Ralley in our own country, have tried the matter by actual artlnclal fertilization, with the re

sult of showing not onlv that there Is no Immediate effect on the fruit but that there is no fruit at all. The several species of cucurbits will not cross. Recently rrof. Pammel, of the Iowa experiment station, has gone over the ground again, and with the same results. In every case the pollen was either wholly impotent, or. If some of the crossed flowers seemed to develop, tne fruit withered before maturity or was otherwise Imperfect. The story, therefore, falls to the ground and cultivators need have no fear of growing these several crops in close proximity. As to the general principle that orchard trees are Influenced In their fruit by the pollen of other varieties. It will also have to be classed with the many similar statements classed as "not proven." CRISP IX THE CHAIR.

He In the Only Mnn Able to Wapje n Co rit em t with Tom Reed. Washington Special to Pittsburg Dispatch. The Speaker has developed a quality of aggression and positive assertion that has won the praie of his most enthusiastic adversaries. With the weight of skill In favor of the management of the majority, the hope was that the one man who held his party In his grasp would pass to another field of action and leave th3 disorganized Democratic House or fold without a shepherd. With Springer, McCreary, McMillin, ltichardson or any of tnat caliber in the chair, the Republican minority would have walked away with tha Democratic majority, and Reed would have taken the round majority of the other side for his personal sport. Criso in the chair has developed a marked Individuality. It was more a matter of good luck tnan of gcod judgment tnat he was put there. The selection was more Intuitive cnan Judicial. Every one in every party has recognized this and it is a common remark among Democratic leaders that they bullded better than they knew. At the most critical moments, when It seemed that Reed, the leader of a small minority, was a majority by mental force. Crisp would step Into the breach as he did yesterday and suppress ths Maine leader by the might of his position and tne oourase of his daring, even in the face of a transgression of rules quite as offensive to th2 mind of the unltlated as the counting of a quorum was In the Fifty-first Congress. Since the initiation ot tni3 Congress the itepubncans nave been playing for advantage. That was their only opportunity. In sporting parlance, they played a bluff on the opposition. Crisp has been the only man courageoue enough to call the bluff. Reed, Dalzell. Grosvenor and the others of the Republican leaders have been able at all times to humiliate In a parliamentary sense such presiding officers as Dockery and Richardson; but no one more readily than Reed admits that when Crisp takes the chair a spirit of aggresslcn and autocracy pervades the House that quite arises to the spirit of Reed's own ideals, and compels the respect of the unyielding man of Maine, who knows no success like the success that is compelled by force of mind. Reed respects Crisp in the face of his own humiliation. He knows that Crisp quietly remained in his seat when he (Reed) was wielding the gavel with almost undisputed power. Now It is Crisp's turn. Reed is generous enough to grant him his opportunity, although he would be only too glad to see the House left to the control of some one whose lack of control would be developed with the first contest of the Republican filibustering minority against the Democratic majority, which is more difficult to round up than a herd of Texan steers. It Is this feeling which makes the discussion of this question the most important of the day on account of the fact that the Democratic leaders are yet arguing upon the Crisp letter of declination more enthusiastically than all else, and certainly with more vigor than they devote to the seigniorage message of the President. PROOF OF IMMORTALITY. Story Told In Publle by a Kentucky Preacher. Pittsburg Dispatch. There was a member of the Kentucky Presbytery whom I knew very well who frequently went Into a sort of a waking sleep. While in this condition he would preach most eloquent sermons, but when he came out he could not rsraember a word that he had said. On one occasion a. copy of the French Testament was handed to him to conduct family worship at the house of a well-known citizen of Frankfort. Although utterly ignorant of the French language, he read a chapter and then commented thereon at length in English. On another occasion while In this condition he remarked to his friends that a certain minister fh Nebraska was In trouble, and that he had just written a letter to Kentucky detailing the circumstances. He then proceeded to give the contents of the letter, and his words were taken down by some one present. Two days later the letter arrived from Nebraska 'and it was identical, word for word, with the one the minister had dictated whlls in the waking sleep. The speaker cited these Instances to show the life of the soul Independent of the body and argued therefrom the immortality of the former. FRIDAY IS A FATEFUL DAY. Fact That Leave Quentlon of Its DeItiK Lneky or Unlucky in Doubt. Boston Post. There are some persons who believe that death and destruction stalk abroad on Friday, and who may have any number of facts on hand to prove their position. Well, here Is an array of facts from which almost anything, pro or con, might be proven: lee surrendered on Friday. Moscow was burned on Friday. Washington was born on Friday. Shakspeare was born on Friday. America was discovered on Friday. Richmond was evacuated on Friday. The Rastile was destroyed on Friday. The Mayflower pilgrims landed on Friday. Queen Victoria was married on Friday. King Charles was beheaded on Friday. Fort Sumter was bombarded on Friday. Napoleon Ronaparte was bom on Friday. Julius Caesar was assassinated on Friday.

Cotes, In McClure's Magazine. A monarch among poisonous snakes Is the enormous hamadryas, which grows to be as much as fourteen feet in length, and is so fierce that It will sometimes attack and even chase any one who ventures near to Its nest. Native snake charmers, who will handle the fiercest cobras fearlessly, are usually loath to touch a hamadryas, though I have occasionally seen a large specimen of this venomous reptile in their bags. It lays its eggs in a heap of decaying leaves, which It collects for the purpose, and sits upon the top to keep off intruders. A road througlt the jungle will sometimes be closed against all corners by a pair of these snakes, and woe betide the unfortunate traveler who stumbles unawares upon the nest. The hamadryas feeds largely upon other snakes, but It is fortunately somewhat rare. Curiously enough, it is not always aggressive. Indeed, it sometimes happens that it Is quite unwilling to strike. Superficially It is not unlike a harmless rock snake; and not very long ago. in Rurmah. a man brought one in from the jungle and kept it looose in his house for some days, under the impression that it was one of these creatures. During the whole of its captivity it never attempted to bite any one, and Its captor, who had been familiaily pulling it about by the tail, was only apprised of his mistake by a forest oilicer who happened to turn up and who knew a good deal about snakes. It is easy to imagine the haste with which the amateur snake charmer proceeded to dispose of his captive. Eleven N"ew Smallpox Cases. NEW YORK. April l.-There were eleen new cases of smallpox reported In Brooklyn to-day, and the row of tenementa where most tf them are located was placed uii'ler strict quarantine.

Apprehension. Detroit Tribune. The wife of the outlaw clung to him frantically. "Don't go," she moaned. "You will be arrested." He tenderly stroked h2r throbbing temples and kissed away her tears. "Re thankful I am not a member of Congress," he whispered. h: felt that his danger might be greater and smiled. Son to the Emperor of China. SAN FRANCISCO. April 1.

Rinse them into vater a little cooler, and so on until the final rinsing water is perfectly cold. Do not blue them. Wring them out as dry as pcsslble with a machine. Lay them in sheets or heavy cloths and roll them as hard as you can in firm rolls. Put them away for an hour, and at the end of that time iron th?m on' the wrong side.. ALWAYS SHORT OF 3IOXEY. Many Congressmen Find It Difficult to Make Roth Ends Meet. Washington Post. "Although a Congressman gets about $13.50 a day in the way of salary." said an old-time House attache, "there are a great many men in the lower branch of Congress who are always short of money. Quite a number spend their income recklessly, but a great many have legitimate domestic expenses that run so close to the amount of their salary that they have hard picking at times to get along. A. considerable number of members discount their salaries at the banks. They are charged something like per cent., and if the total of this account were made public It would make a remarkable showing. It is by no means the new or younger members who are oftenest short before salary day comes around. -.Many of the older members, wtio have sat in the House for years, are in this predicament quite frequently. Many of them are men of irreproachable habits, but with large and expensive families to support, and with heavy political obligations at home forming a constant drain on their exchequer which they cannot get rid of. I learn that there Is quite a little unexpected balance remaining unclaimed of the appropriation to pay mileage for the extra session. This Is due to the fact that there are members so conscientious that they think they have no moral right to touch that money, and have never claimed It. One of these Is Rland and another Sayers, but there are others, whose names can only be obtained from the books of the sergeant-at-arms. A number of these men actually need the money, but they are too scrupulously honest to demand it, although its expenditure was authorized by House and Senate." Too Diffuse and Too Shallow Culture. Miss Agnes Repplier, In Forum. The necessity of knowing a little about . a great many things is the most grievous burden of our day. It deprives us of leisure on the one hand and of scholarship on the other. The notion is gradually gaining ground that common-school education is as good as college education; that extension lectures and summer classes are acceptable substitutes for continuous study and mental discipline; that reading translations of the classics Is better, because easier, than reading the classics themselves, and that attending a "congress" of specialists gives us, in some mysterious fashion, a very respectable knowledge of their specialties. It is after this manner that we enjoy, in all its varied aspects, that energetic idleness which Mr. Ragehot recommends as a deliberate sedative to our restless self-esteem. As Dr. Johnson discontentedly observed of the education of the Scotch; this Is like bread in a besieged town. "Every man gets a little, but no man gets a full meal." Iced "Wines. Philadelphia Times. Champagne of fine quality should never be mixed with ice or iced water; neither should it be used to the extent champagnes ordinarily are, for, in the first place, the natural lightness of the wine is such as not to admit of its being diluted without utterly spoiling it, and In the next, excessive cold destroys alike the fragrant bouquet of the wine and its delicate vinous flavor. Really good champagne should not be iced below a temperature of 50 degrees Fahrenheit, whereas exceedingly sweet wines will bear being Iced down almost to the freezing point, and be rendered more palatable by the process. Semper Idem. Detroit Free Press. The city young man staying in the country for a week thought he would go for a hunt. "I say, landlord," he remarked one morning, "are there any game laws in force around here?" "Yes." replied the landlord, lazily; "it's purty much here as it is most everywhere else; nobody but a durn fool's goln to trump his pardner's ace." A Conclusive Test. Washington Star. "Do you think Algernon and Mamie will get along nicely when they are married?" said one chaperon to another. I am sure of it," was the reply. "I took care to find out shortly after they were engaged." "How?" "I arranged several whist parties and had them play as partners. They never quarreled once." Simplest. Detroit Tribune. "Will you," he inquired, "be my wife?" "You ask too much, sir," she rejoined. For a moment he wa3 silent. When again he spoke there was tender pleadings in his voice. "Perhaps," he observed, "you would be kind enough to suggest how I can divide the question." A Sail Cnse. Brooklyn Life. "This." cald the attendant., as he led the way through the incurable ward, "is one of the worst cases we have. He was once a newspaper man." "But what Is his hallucination?" asked the visitor anxiously. "He thinks he has money," answered the attendant sadly. Xo Seene. Detroit Tribune. "Aha." he hissed.
