RICHMOND. Ind.. July 21. Numerous cases are now pending against the Richmond Street-railroad Company, which is In the hands of a receiver, chiefly for claims for work done and material furnished. These claims amount to several thousand dollars, and the litigation Is to decide whether or not they are prior to those of the bondholders. Things took a decidedly sensational turn to-day.

Fox, attorney for an Intervening creditor, i having just completed his brief, soon to be oieu. in mis ne cnarg2s tne projectors or the line with fraud, and says that from beginning to end their transactions have been but a series of frauds. He shows that bonds were issued, mortgages giv?n and money secured that should have gone to lit out the line, but Instead went for the IersonaI benefit of thos? securing It. The capital stock, the brief says, was placed at and the projectors of the line succeeded in raising $1.'A more, making In all which, he says, they pretended to use for a line that cost not more than SloO.f.M). Tnis. the brief says, is evidence within itself that the money was never expended on the line, but went for other purposes. In view of this the brief then says that those to whom the line is indebted should have the preference ovrr a.11 other creditors. Judge Fox says that the case is one of the worst examples of railroad wrecking that has ever come under his notice. CHIEF GODFREY DEAD. AYell-Known .koi1 Chief of the MIimiiIm Pnnnen Awny.

Special o tbfc Indianapolis Journal. SEYMOUR. Ind., July 21. A special election was held In Jackson, Brownstown and Carr townships, yesterday, to vote on gravel road3 from Seymour to Brownstown. l!rownstown to Sauer's Church. Medora to Leesville, and Leesville to Sparkvlllo. The first-named road carried by a majority of ',', and the other roads were carried by small majorities. When these roads are completed Jackson county will have continuous gravel roads from the northeast to the southeast, and from the southeast to the northwest parts of the county. The townships of this county have been built up v.ith gravel roads since the passage of the Swope road law, two years ago. The cost of the roads now completed and those already voted will be Jlo'O.OOu. This amount does not Include the roads built previous to the passage of the Swope law. The cost of all the gravel and macadamized roads now In the county Is In the nlghborhood of $i:'o,U. There are still two toll roads In the county, but It will not be very long until they. too. will be made free. The Swope law has proved a blessing to Brownstown and Seymour, as It has enabled the citizens of those two cities to vote roads on townships which did not have enouph votes to overcome the majorities cast in the two cltl:s. This has enabled the strong townships to ssddle heavy debts on townships which did not vote in favor of the roads. There Is consider ible grumbling nrrong the farmers over this defect in the law.

A number of gentlemen went out to Governor's Island today to see the test of W. J. E. Lennard's bullet proof coat. Capt. G. P. Catton, commanding Fort Columbus, had promised Mr. Lennard a test. The bullet proof shield was hung on a post, and Lieut. C. J. Treat took a Springfield and fired five or six shots at a distance of forty feet. The bullets buried themselves in the material, but did not go quite through, though they made lumps on the other side. "Mr. Lennard's coat has effectually resisted the bullets, there Ls no doubt of that," said Captain Catton. "but I cannot see the utility of the thing. You might as well equip an army with metallic shields and be done with It. You could not get soldiers to wear such coats in action." Captain Catton declined to allow Mr. Lennard to wear his shield and be fired at. He did not care to have his command take the responsibility in event of an accident, he said. CAUKLESS ISIjASrERS.

ADVICE TO CATHOLICS FlRTIIEIt It EG A TIDING MGR. SATOLM'S ANTI-LIQUOR DECISION. Illfthop Wntterfton'n Decree and flic Apostolic Delegate Letter Approving: anil I pholdins It. COLUMBUS, O., July 21-Eishop John A. Watterson, of Columbus, has just returned from the Catholic summer school at Plattsburg, N. Y. He says the decision of Mgr. Satolll has not up to the present moment been given to the press and consequently the comments on it, some of which are misinterpretations, have come from surmize more than anything else. The lettor of the .aDOstollc delegate is addressed through Bishop Watterson to the secretary of those who appealed from the bishop's regulations concerning Catholic societies in their relation not only to saloon kee;ers but to all engaged In the liquor traffic. It is wider than diocesan in its influences, for it affirms the general principle in which a bishop acts on such things and approves of its special application In this particular matter and says that every Catholic of. good conscience must hold that what Bishop Watterson has decreed for his own diocese is for the greater good of religion and of every Catholic society. On Feb. 24 last one of the Catholic, societies in Columbus appealed from a special decision of the Bishop in Its regard. On March 13 the apostolic delegate affirmed the Bishop's action, and, not satisfied with this, some of the members of societies in Columbus appealed again. The first decision was special to the appealing society, but the second decision, which is dated July 3, upholds the Bishop's action ir. regard to all societies 8n the diocese of Columbus. ; The above statements are exact and have been lnpected by 'the Bishop. The three points referred to in the apostolic delegate's letter are taken from the letter issued by Bishop Watterson to the clergy of the Columbus diocese March 1 In which he withdrew his probation from every Catholic scciety or branch in the diocese that has a iicuor elealer or saloon keeper at Its head or" among its officers, and he suspended every such society from its ranks and privileges as a Catholic society until it ceased to be so officered. He again published the condition that no one would be admitted to membership who was engaged either as principal or agent in the manufacture and sale of liquors. While not condemning the liquor business itself by restrictions, he did it to increase the usefulness of Catholic societies and remove the reproach which has frequently attached to them and the members, to the detriment of religion. With societies long established in the diocese, because of benefit Insurance features, he- would not 'interfere, but he would insist "on 'the 'rule' for new societies and the admission of new members in the old. The Bishop Instructs the priests to make known to the organizations In their parishes the rule and to have it faithfully observed. Should any saloon keepers in the parish treat the rule In a defying way the priests are asked to refuse them absolution should they come to receive the sacraments, unless they promise to cease offending. The letter of Mgr. Satolli was written at Washington on July 3. and Is as follows: "Dear Sir I answer your letter, which, together with the document Inclosed therein (the Bishop's letter) you handed me during my stay Jn Columbus. As far as the general principles is concerned, you should know that as it belongs to the office of a bishop to observe In his own diocese what is hurtful or helpful to the spiritual good of the faithful, so it belongs to his power to command, prohibit, counsel or permit to be done, or removed, whatever he judges to contribute to the discharge of his own duty, and to the good of the faithful. "The letter or decree of the right Reverend Bishop, of Columbus, concerning Catholic societies, and the abstinence to be observed from intoxicating liquors, ought, by no means, to be subjected to the judg--ment of every private individual or of every association of simple Catholic or citizens, but every Catholic of good conscience must hold for certain that the bishop has commanded those things which seem to be for the greater good of the faithful and the henor of every Catholic society. "These three things which are expressed in the letter of the Right Reverend Bishop have he approval not only of Catholics, but of norcatholics of your city, because they a- not only In harmony with the laws of thechurch, but they are also seasonable and necessary to the honor of the church, especially In the State of Ohio. Therefore, those things which the Right Reverend Bishop his commended in his decree, I approve, and I decide that they are to be observed. But if, perhaps, they, for the time being, seem to hurt the material Interests of some, this will have to be patiently borne for the good of the many .and for the honor of our holy Catholic Church. "Remain, therefore, of good will and obey faithfully what the Right Reverend Bishop has decreed, confident that elivine Providence rewards the spirit of obedience, not only In the future but also in the present time. Farewell 'n the Iird. "FRANCIS ARCHBISHOP SATOLLI." "Apostolic Delegate." Defloration of the Baltimore Council HOBOKEN, N. J.. July 21. Rev. Father Charles Kelly, rector of the Church of Our Lady of Grace, and president of the Catholic Total Abstinence Union of New Jersey, is pleased at the attitude of Mgr. Satolll toward the liquor traffic. Says Father Kelly: "Catholic priests, with all the moral suasion of which they are capable, have labored always and ever to make their flocks temperate, realizing so well the frightful consequences of intemperance. The third council of Baltimore says: 'We have not only directed the attention of pastors to the repression of the vice of intemperance, of abuse of selling intoxicating drink to minors and the profanation of the Lord's day by the unholy traffic, but we also call upon them to Induce all of their flocks that may be engaped In the sale of liquor to abandon th dangerous traffic and embrace a more becoming way of making a living.' " Catholic Pole Soeeile. CLEVELAND, July 21. A call has been iued to the disaffected and disorganized Catholic Poles of this country by Father Kolaszewskl. the pastor, and other officers of the newly organied and independent Catholic Church of this city. The call invites not only Poles, but all who are dissitisliel. not with the Catholic faith, but with the government of the Church of Rome, to yer.d delegates to the convention. The primary object is to or.eaniz a national Polish church on the lines indicated In the declaration of principles publisned by the seceders from St. Stanislaus Church, which, biieriy sta:ed. denies tae authority of episcopal superiors to interfere in any except spiritual in uters. The s-eceders also claim fr the members of the society the t ight to read whatsoever they choose "without consulting priest or bishop. Another point of rai,e;;l departure is contained in the declaration in favor of giving parents the option of sending their children either to the public or parochial schools. The date for hoi. ling the convention has not yet been decided upon.

One of their color has been very sick in this town and it got spread among them that he was conjured, or "cunjud," as they speak it, and right there comes in the difference between the blacks and the copper-colored and mulattos. The belief in "conjurln" seems to be confined mainly to the black negro. OJd Aunt Ann declares that he was "conjud as sho as you're born, for he is turn'm' right green." It was these same black Africans who had all the superstitions about Brer Fox and Brer Rabbit. We had all colors amongst our slaves when I was a boy, but it was only the black, broadncsed and thick-lipped ones who told us stories by the cabin fires at night. Thv only had a love for the marvelous, and their descendants have It yet. They believe in hoodoo or voodoo and conjurln'. Th?y have a strong emotional religion, and if the spirit throws them down in a faint it is a sure sign they've got it good. What it Is they get I don't know, but It suits them, and there does not seem to be any change in their mode of worship. Education has not made any that we can perceive. Some white people are affected the same way, but it is the exception and not the rule. With the negroes it seems to be spasmodic. Its effects have no good Influence after the spasm Is over. We used to say of one of our servants, "Becky is going to cut up to-day. She fell down in a trance last night at meeting and had to be carried out," And she did cut up. She was the nurse for our children and they had to keep away from her until she got over her fit. She was accused of being a conjurer and a black negro named Luke swore out a warrant for her, and Tom Perry, the 'Squire, Issued it, just to see what Luke could prove. He said that she made him sick in the back and kept him sick, and he handed the 'Squire a dime that she gave him for a chicken and pointed out a dark spot on it that was the sign the proof that she had conjured the money before she paid it to him. That was all. "What do you wish done with her?" said I. "She have to swaller de dime." he said, "antl dat break de spell. 1 tried rabbit foot and 1 burv lizard under de door and I plat de old mare's mane when de roosters crow for midnight, but it don't do no good. I is dyin every day." But Luke got well and Becky didn't swallow the dime, either. MAKING WITCHES' SOUP. One of my father's negro women got jealous of Minty, the cook, and determined to poison or conjur her to death. Minty got sick and my father told Juno to make her some chicken soup. She got from an old rag a red scorpin's head, a lizard's leg, a bat's wing, a betty bug -and three or four centipedes or thousand legs, as wo call them, and the tail of a green snake and had the horrible mess cooking in a sauce pan when my mother happened in to see how Minty was and took the top off the pan to look at the soup. Juno con-, fessed that she had been gathering material for that soup a good while, and she wasn't much disturbed at the discovery. She declared that Minty had cunjud her husband and I reckon she had. So my father had to separate the families. Now. did Shakspeare get his witches' caldron and its venomous contents from the old Africans of England? "Fillet of a fenny snake. In the caldron boil and bake; Eve of newt and toe of frog. Wool of bat and tongue of dog; Adder's fork and blind worm sting. Lizard's leg and owlet's wing." The superstitions of the races is an interesting study. All have them, and all are connected some way with spirits wandering spirits that haunt our pathwayunseen but not unmindful of our destiny. The Indian tribes do not seem to know anything about conjurln. but they have many signs and symbols and a reverence for the great spirit. I read the other day from one who was familiar with their customs, that every male child of a chief or a great warrior must be named for the first thing or object that was sen shortly after Its birth. The old medicine man walked to the door with great solemnity and ceremony and looked out. and whatever he saw was the name of the child, whether it was "flying cloud" or "hole in the sky," or "young man afraid of his horse." or "Sitting Bull. The ws a Cherokee chief whose name was "LaughIn? Gal." Some hilarious maiden was In t sight when he was bom. The ancient 'Jews had a custom similar in some respects. The name was connected with some incident of birth. The great lawgiver was named Moses because he was drawn out of the water. SUPERSTITIOUS WHITES. But our superstitions ar not oonfined to names. Very many sensible and educated people will make a cross mark with the shoe before they turn back to get something' they have forgotten, some will spit in the cross. Some put the shovel or the poker in the fireplace when a screech owl moans near the house. Some will not begfn new work or ar journey on Friday, and almost everybody had Vather see the new moon in a clear sky ami over the right shoulder. For forty-five years I have known a sensitive, self-defiant woman who will walk to the back door to get a lucky view of the moon. Her husband makes fun of her, but will do the same thing on the f v. When we moved Into our present house old Aunt Ann comforted my wife by saying "mighty fine nlace mighty fin trees "and all dat. but folks say de house Is haunted." Tom Hood wrote ninety verses about a haunted house, and they will make your hair stand on end if you have got any: "O'er all there hung a shadow and a fear, A sense of mystery the spirit daunted. And said as pl?in as whisper in the ear The place is haunted." The old poets and novelists were full of superstitions. "The Ancient Mariner." the witches in Macbeth and the "Phantom Ship" still charm us with tneir mystery. It Is well for us that we spend the night in sleep, for darkness adds to our childis'i fears. Napoleon said that all ron were cowards by night, and I suppose there are but few men even among the saints and the philosophers who would feel perfectly calm and serene while sifting on a tombstone on a dark and c'udv night. My old armv friend. Captain Hockenhull, an Englishman by birth, tld us one night by the camp fires that wnen he was about eighteen some of the town boys bet nim a crown that he wouldn't go to the charnel house after dark and bring out a skull. The charnel houe was in the corner of the churchyard. It had no itor. but had a window about ten feet from the ground, and as the tones were taken from old graves to make room for new ones the sexton hauled them to the enamel house and threw them In, for it was the law that a dead man had no right to sleep In the ground longer than thirty years. Hockenhull was poor and had good pluck and wanted the crown very bad. So he got a little ladder and placed It under the window. The rascally boys had already been there and boosted one of their number up to the hole, and from there he let himself down easy and hid In the corner among the bones. "Hock," as we called him in the army, felt around In the darkness, nnd finding a skull was climbing to the window, when a deep, ghastly voice muttered: "That's my skull." Hock sail it scared him nearly to death at first and he put it d.wn quick. Then he thought about the crown and the shame of cowardice, and began to feel around for another, and finding one nearer the window was about to step up, when the same unearthly voice from the same corner said, "that's mv skull." "Oh. you're a liar." sail Hock. "No man has two skulls." and lie tossed It out and followed It In a jifTy. and carried It In triumph to the alehouse, where the boys were waiting. He got his crown and a good reputation, but said he did nit fancy the business. It takes both age and religion to drive away our superstitious fears and reconcile us to th.t lonely home, the graveyard, to which we aha 11 all surely come. The comfort of the; aged is thit this old body gets so frail and beset with pain it i3 no shock to shake it off and be a spirit that is. if we have a faith that is pure and steadfast a faith like that of Paul and the martyrs and the dying Corlstinn that Por wrote about, or the ore that William C.

Talking about the projotel trip of the Prince of Wales to this country little has been ."aid of his yachting enterprise. This has always been large. When James Gordon Bennett last year challenged him to sail a scries of races acainst an unknown Yankee sloop the Prince was quite willing to take hi:n up. In point of fact, the money was staked aboard L.illie Iangtry's White Ladye, chartered by Ogden Goelet, and used by the Prince. Bennett and the charterer as a convenient and comfortable ship in which to meet. Offden Goelet is neither large nor Important looking from a physical point of view, but he is what the modern sporting editor would call a "dead game sport. Into his hp.nds was thrown a large stake, both prince and editor feeling the greatest confidence in the holder. There was then a little row between the contestants. ThQ Prince said he would have to abide by the decision of the Royal Yacht Squadron as to the course to be sailed over. At this Mr. Bennett sulked. Hg said all he wanted was fair play in deep water races. Then it was that he broke off negotiations with William P. Douglas, who was attempting to pick up at a bargain the sloop Vigilant. What Mr. Bennett really wanted was to pin the Prince down to actual and welldefined races on the open sea, such as Valkyrie had on this side of the broad Atlantic. When he learned that the Prince could only arrange match races through the Royal Yacht squadron he said he would defer matters until the Nice and Cannes races next year. In the meantime If the Prince actually meant business he would meet him with a brand new ship in 1893. Binnett has offered opulent prizes for both steam and sailing yachts early next spring In the Mediterranean, the cash and cups being of sufneient value to entice and alljre American and Knglish boats to beat the Frrnch and Italian craft. It was the generous example of the Americans in offering to pay the coal bills of the steam yachts and the expenses of the sailing yachts that drw such a large fleet of contestants into the Mediterranean last spring. Never before had such attractions been offered on the blue and foaming Mediterranean to racing craft. It was an event iinnrfroi1tntfl in th bright and irlnrlrtiia annals of yachting. Bennett loves France. The Prince of Wales dotes on It. The American dollars acted' as a bait to the Britannia. Th? Prince of Wales Is a poor man. and he Is not ashamed of it. His income is small, compared with his expenditures. Over and over again Parliament has r-ld his d'bts. nd not ungrudgingly. He works hard, and his expenses are heavy. IIj lays the foundation stones of churches, hospitals and institutions of every kind. His purse is open to all. Pagan3 have had tne otnertt 01 nis largess. He Is always ready to share the few stray sovereigns In his pocket with his friends. No man has been more bitterly slandered, no man more violently abused. The British public almost idolizes him, and for many other reasons he is distinctively worshiped by the Britishers. If it could only be possible, an American trip would be the Prince's beau ideal of port next summer. As an honorary member of the New York Yacht Club he would have a splendid reception. Whether he challenged with the Britannia or with a newer and more pronounced British cutter, his greeting would be the same. His friends on this side of the ocean, who have watched his yachting career with intelligent interest ever since he made his deoul as a timoneer, are willing to back his enterprise, his pluck and his valor. An old rhum of his. who accompanied him and Lord Alfred Paget to India, and who still hipplly survives, is an invalid at a farmhou-o in the Hohokas valley, in tha State of New Jersey. He is one of those conservative Englishmen who owe allegiance to their sovereign and are naturally averse to having their names shine out in the awful glare of print-, He shot tigers and elephur3 in Indian jungles with the Prince, ari he it was that advised him not to drnk the poisonladen waters of llindostan, but to take with him the aerated waters of an English soda-water firm. The Queen was sj anxious about his health that she Insisted on this idea of hl3 friend being carried out. Thus there was a large shipload of soda water, ginger ale and other such beverages shipped to India. U nen the Prince wanted a drink, and when the usual order of "Khansaml brandy panee lao" was given the Prince g-t his braniy pure in bottles so secured with steel wire that they could not be tampered with, and his mineral water so close 1 up by seals that then? could be no doubt about Its purity. The old Hohokas man. whose loyalty to Kngland and the Prince is undoubted, knows all the secrets of Marlborough House and Handrlnham. He can give us all points on the Prince's yachting career aboat the Dammar, the Htliegarde and the Britannii. He says there are no abstruse mysteri-v about any one of these. He kno.vs that the Prince wants to sill in American waters, and he is sure the Britannia would make a capital showing. He said : "Th dispatch from the Prince shows what is really agitating his mind. Ivlitor Turner hn startel his Royal Highness In th praiseworthy art of meditation. If he carries oi:t his original idas of yacht racing ho will surely come hither and race among i;s."

HIM,. a crisis o tiii: ;am;i:s. The Trcc-Snienrlng; I'iplnlnrd A Itlvnl of the Snercft llhrr. New York Tribuu-. The recent alarm of pending revolution In British India had a ludicrous ending. It was observed that the trunks of mapr trees, especially mangoes, were Ftnearod. with mud mixed with cow's hair. Thl was ominous; more so even that 'Vhops and tomato sauce." Men of authority, well versed In Hindoo lore, declared the marks to be popular summons to insurrection. They pictured the stealthy emissaries of revolt gliding from tree to tree at midnight, placing upon the trunks the daubs of mud and hair of a sacred cow, which should serve as a liery cross to arouse the millions of Hindoo worshippers to another and greater mutiny. It was a plausible theory, and it set nerves a-tingllng In Calcutta and Inspired many an anxious and solemn leader In the English press. But presently some one discovered that the sacred but surely nonmutlnous cow was herself the cause- of the trouble: which, fir.t lying or wallowing In the mud, nibbed her sides, as is the wont of cattle, against the tree trunks, and thus placed thereon the dreadful tokens. Another and more real cause, if not of disquiet, at least of thoughtful interest. Is. however, found In India to-day whkh may portend nothing less than a religion revolution. For ages the river Ganges has been accounted a sacred stream. Its waters are r?garded as possessing a peculiar ikjwer of purification., and its banks, consequently, are almost everywhere lined with temples. Indeed, the religion, philosophy and even sociology of Hlndoostan have largely centered upon "Mother G jnga ;" far more than those of Rome upon thp .Tiber cr of Egypt upon the Nile. Yet the Ganges has had a rival. If ne'.vr yet ;i successful, at least a potential one. That rival Is the Nerbudda, the mighty stream which, rising in Gundwani. flows westward along the northern lonler of the Decern to the Arabian sea. There Is a legend tht Indra, the Iord of Light, with his own hand made the passageway, between walls of snowy marble, through which its waters leap down into the broad estuary at Broach, and for this reason it has never been reckoned a holy stream. Moreover, about a hundred years ago there arose and spread abroad through all the land a. prophecy that at a certain time the sanctity of the Ganges Itsel should be transferred to the Nerbudda, and the latter become supreme. The date, explicitly stated In this prophecy, for which wide credence was obtained, was the year lK'jl. As that date drew nearer and nearer, belief, or at any rate, expectancy, grew steadily stronger. At the prestMit time the tension Is almost indescrlble. Why the change Is to occur, no one can tell; nor yet how it Is to be manifested, whether bv some stupendous cataclysm of nature, or by a revolution of religious sentiment. Nor are there lacking, especially among the Innumerable Gangetlc shrines, many who dispute the correctness of the prophecy. Yet there is to-day such a state of general unrest, speculation and anxiety as has not been known in India for generations. Whether any movement of tangible form will grow out of It Is an interesting question. The major Influence of the priesthood is, naturally enough. againt any su?h change as that prophesied. The vast business, social and political Interests of Oudh and Bengal, and of Rajpootana and the Punjaub, are also opposed to It. On the other hand Scindia. Berar, Mysore, Hydrabad and all the peoples ot the Deccan may be supposed to favor it. They have not forCotten the mastery of the Mahrattas over the Moguls, and they may yet cherish the notion that what was once done may be dore again. At any -ate. there is a fair chance of the next few months seeing In In.!?a some Important movements, which, while they may not menace British rule, may powerfully affect the religious and social condition of the natives. ijeci.im: in i si: or imiimstom:.
