BLUFFTON. Ind.. Spt. 15.-Rev. C. W Yade. of the 31. E- Church of this city, having for a number of Sundays recently mad open exposes of spiritualistic phenomena and from his pulpit demonstrated the same by performing -wonderful" mediumistlc feats by means of trickery and sleight cf hand, has greatly aroused the 'feeling between Christians and Spiritualists. This city has many devout and conscientious Spiritualists, and the sermons of the Rev. Mr. Wada caused a challenge to be issued addressed to thk minister through the daily papers. The apostles of the spirit's creed, in order to prove their belief to their doubtIn? brothers, offered to make a test case. The challenge was accepted by the minister, and the Spiritualists sent to Lafayette and secured II. It. Wardweil, whose rare roed'.umistlc powers "had astonished the credulus people all over the State. In due time the medium, with his wife and three children, arrived and secured rooms in the Bliss House, the leading hotel cf the city and. In the private parlors, arranged for the test. At 7:30 o'clock to-night the invited guests gathered in the room and formed two circles. As usual, the lights wert xtinguis.ied, the music box wound up, the preliminaries gone through with and soon manifestations appeared. Faces and figures hidrous and ugly enough to frighten the saint3 were seen. Suddenly W. L. Royse. formerly a young Indianapolis lawyer, an Investigator and seeker for truth, made a dive for the cabinet and seized the ghosts. The. gas was lighted and one of the greatest frauds ever perpetrated stood exposed. The medium's wife and three children, robed In white, were discovered in the cabinet with th medium. The money paid by the visitors was immediately demanded and refunded and Mayor Stevens, who was one cf the visitors, out of sympathy for the woman and children, gave the medium thirty minutes to leave the city, which he did. This exposure is a fatal blow to the cause of spiritualism in Iiluffton. where It has numbered among its adherents sorne of tne best people ol the town. The expose 13 highly gratifying to all honest people. ALL. DAY ItlOT IX 31UXCIE. Hen Run Down by Electric Motors and Car Ditched'. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MUNCIE, Ind., Sept. 13. Tftis city has never experienced such exciting scenei of riot as has been waged here nearly alf of to-day. It was a fight between the War-ren-Scharf Asphalt Paving Company and the Muncie Electric Street-railway Company. As a result of the riot a number of motors are lying in the gutter, several men are injured and officers of the streetcar company were arrested. The paving company began to tear up tracks on Walnut street, opposite the public square at 7 o'clock this evening. Superintendent Brown, of the paving company, went to work with a dozen teams. Manager Yf. J. Hllllgoss, of the street-car company, orflered the men to desist. They refused, and he then sent a motor car at full speed into the first team, and they were knocked from the track. Another run, was made at team No. 2. but the colored driver stood ready for the attack with a boulder in each hand, threatening Ililllgoss's life. The fifty other hands approached with shovels, picks and clubs and the street-car company was driven back. A, mob of citizens cheered the teamsters and hissed every move of the railway company. Finally rails and ties were pulled a.t this spot, but when the men were moved into the tfxt square they foiud fifteen cars strung along the track, forming a blockade. Every time a man would step on the track to cut a splice wire or pull spikes he would be run down by a motor car. After several hours the railway company turned the deadly current of electricity into the rail and notified the people that if rthey tcuehel tne car or rail it was at their peril. This caused the scene of war to be shirted to the crossing of Main and "Walnut streets, ,and thousands of men and ooys watcnea ana cneered. the destruction o: tne property. The same tactics of driving the pavers off with cars was betfun here and kept up until the police ordered the cars off 'the sidewalk. Manager Hilligoss refused to obey orders, and one of the motormen catne near running over Superintendent of Police Miller. This act caused, tne cnicers to pounce on the two motormen. Manager Hilligoss and Superintenacnt retty, who were arrested amid wild cheering by the mob. They were nustieu to I'oiice Court and the two cars wen? then ditched, as had been others. At 2 o'clock the trouble was emporarlly fiucvj u- u;e rii;way company getting a restraining order rrem the court. This was arter two o.ocio or track had been, destroyed. This evening the asphalt company constructed a high fence across Walnut street at the Main-street crossing to prevent wagons from driving north. There wis iut a snort spur of track there, but llilllccss manned a car and with a burst Of si ced went Into it. The second time he did this he was knocked from the car into tne muuciy ditch and severelv in. Jurcd.f The outcome of the fight cannot be ii.rt-s.uiu.

He is quite ready to do so if it is thought best that he appear upon the stump. Ills relations with Mr. Morton, always cordial, would Justify his saying something in aid of Mr. Morton's canvass, and perhaps it may not be regarded as too soon to suggest that perhaps after all the ticket with which to appeal to those who prospered to those who knew n' lack of employment to those jwho had good wages In the four years prior to 102, and who have plnce suffered, as well as to the great bus.nes and commercial interests of the country, will be that one which being successful in 1S?S showed the country that the Republican party was a party of action, of constructive energy, aiming at those things which would make for the prosperity of the whole country. The ex-President has been spending a good deal of time in this city for the past week or two, and yet witn such singular discretion, such perfect tact, that no person, however maliciously disposed, can point the finger or reproachful suggestion at anything said or done, or can discover the slightest indication of any purpose. on hl3 part' to regain in 1S0S what was lost in 1802.

GREENFIELD, Ind.. Sept. la. Hon. Charle3 W. Fairbanks, of inaianapous. opened the Republican campaign in Hancock county this afternoon by an able and eloquent speech at Masonic Ha!I. There was a large audience of the solid and substan tial men of the county, who were pleased with 'hi3 masterful presentation of State and national issues. Hancock county, with her numerous manufacturing industries, feels the weight of the Gorman tariff bill in a large reduction rn wages. The popular candidate for Joinc Senator. Thomas K. Mull, of Rush county, was present at the meeting and made the acquaintance of the majority of the people. Iliirkhnrt In n Popnllat. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LAFAYETTE, Ind., Sept 13. Democrats in this vicinity are not taking off their coats to help elect Alonzo G. Rurkhart of Tipton county, the Populist whom a few Democrats at Frankfort indorsed -ior Con gress, iiecentiy, in a . speecn, Air. rsurithart said: I am here soliciting the patronage of everybody who wants to be represented by the common people, if you please. I am a business man and a farmer in Tipton coun ty, where I was born and raised, ana my people saw fit, contrary to my wishes, to nominate me for Congress. - The ' Democratic party, inasmuch as it had no candi date, has taken me un, possiDiy as tne next best thing it could do. It did tnis without any trade on my part or propo sition to trade the press of the country to the contrary, notwithstanding. I wish to state this fact, that when the press states that the Democratic party nas fused with Burkhart, or has gone into a conspiracy to trade in this district, that lt is a falsehood. I don't know who started tne story, neuner uo l care, i am a i-opu-llst. The Democrats indorsed me, but they knew where I stood before they did it I am a Populist, and not a Democrat, and if anv of you hear a man in tnis oistnct in this year of 18H4, say that Rurkhart has gone into a fusion with the Democrats to get the nomination, you may, in my behalf. give it tne lie,- ana i win oaoK you up. If there is anything in God Almighty's world the people's party want it is loyalty and honesty of purpose. There may be more brilliant people and. more influential men in the district that you might have selected, but a more loyal man I yield to no man. I undersLand that the plan of Indorsing me originated In my own county, and my Democratic friends there know me too well to even ask me to indorse any of their principles, or to make a deal of this kind. Such representations may have been made unbeknown to me, but so far as I am personi'ly concerned, I denounce it as a lie." A Democrat Converted. Special to the'Indianapolis Journal. SHERIDAN, Ind., Sent. 15. The campaign for the Republicans was opened here last night by ex-Lieutenant Governor Thomas Hanna, of Indianapolis. The opera house was filled. He exposed the infamous gerrymander and showed the dishonesty, of the Democratic party in its legislative and congressional apportionments. He paid his respects to the Democratic free-trade party and said that the reason the Democratic party was for free trade and would not legislate in favor of the wage-earner was that Congress was controlled by 153 Sena tors ard Representatives from the South, and that the wage-earner In the South was the black man and the poor white man. and that the Southern Democrat did not care whether they got a living or not. He said that the same cause that controlled the tariff legislaUon inspired the insults and oppression that has been meted out to the veterans of. the war.. He quoted ex tracts irom aoutiiern scnooi-oooks, news papers and speeches, which said the Union soldiers are nothing but a set of pension beggars, and that only this week the Mem phis Commercial-Appeal said, in speaking or tne encampment at Pittsburg: "Men who plead for pap; charge of the pension brigade; Pittsburg's heights stormed by an army of ple-seeker3." A large number of old soldiers occupied the front seats in the audience and the speaker was frequently applauded. At the close of the meeting Captain Dawson, a prominent hardware dealer of this place, who was a soldier in tne Mexican and late war and a life-long Democrat, acknowledged' his conversion to the Republican party, and said hereafter he would stand by the Republican party auu was tor ueniamin Harrison, the soldiers' friend, for President in 1SD6.

Wright at the Magner schoolhouse that Is calculated to make Republican votes. An immense turnout of Re publicans from all sections of the county were present. At tni3 meeting two lifelong Democrats made speeches and an nounced their intention of hereafter affili ating with the Republican party. One of them, MM. Johnson, is a veteran of two wars, the .Mexican and late wars, through" both of which he served with honor. Tne other Capt R. T. Littell, is a hero of the late war and has been a life-long Democrat.

The campaign was auspiciously opened here to day by Indiana's silver-tongued orator, Hon. C. F. Posey, of Evansville, and Col. A. M. Hardy, the next Congressman from this district. The opera house was Jammed and as many more were unable to gain admission. The crowd was estimated at 1,500. Posey's speech was in his happiest vein, and was an unanswerable argument in favor of Republicanism. Major Hardy's speech was delivered in his best style and will add several votes to the cause. Put down Greene county as 500' for Hardy and the rest of the Republican ticket The euthusiasm among Republicans here is unprecedented so early in the campaign. IV err Church Dedicated.

the majority of cases it shows no slcna of

abatement It Is. however, satisfactory to Know that a clew has been obtained to ac count for its frequent occurrence, and the supposed remedy is easy of application. In the French public schools 21.2 per cent. of the scholars are shortsighted: in the German, 35 per cent; in the English, only 20 per cent From investigations by M. Martin into the annals of the French schools it appears that thv percentage is the highest in the rhetoric and philosophy classes. The hygienic coiiditlon of the school does not seem to affct the percentage, and M. Martin thlnk'j that want of physical exercise is the caust of the trouble. By modifying the work o ".he classes the proportion of shortsighted scholars at the College of Glessen has fallei from 2G.6 to 17 per cent. In five years. M. Martin rec ommends reasonable periods of physical ex ercise between the hours for study. Where these periods of recreation have been al lowed, while shortsightedness has decreased, there has been no diminution of general proficiency on the part of the schol ars.

Senator Davis Does Not Think Shonld Be the Tariff. ST. PAUL, Sept 15. Senator C. it K. Davis, In an interview to-day, said: "The American people cannot help producing. We have 70,000,000 of people, and for sixteen months 70,000,000 million of people have been economizing. But matters have reached a point where people must buy. This will have a tendency to improve business conditions and hasten prosperity. I think that the business of the country will gardually adjust Itself to the provisions of the new tariff. And I think, also, what the business men of this country really need is peace on the tariff question. The issue of the next campaign Is the conspicuous failure of the Democratic party to administer the affairs of the government in diplomacy. In finance in . everyhing. . The Democratic party will be on the defensive throughout the' campaign, endeavoring to Justify its acts. The Republican party has its record and will stand upon that" lie does not anticipate much danger to the old parties by A. R. II. defection to the Populists T-m I. JohiiMou Renominated.

Mr. Johnson's nomination, was made by acclamation. In hl3 speech of acceptance he said among other things: "While there are some who stil' eek to judge the present by the past, v.'hlle there are some editors and some newspapers . who still cling to past traditions and think they can stem the tide and bring the. party into line with their opinions, I for: on. hope the-line will be distinctly drawn those in favor of protection on one side and' those opposed to it on the other." THE MONTHLY MAGAZ1XES. -4Some of Their Defects Kindly Pointed Out hy 11 !Vevspnper. New York Commercial Advertiser. The defects in the monthly magazine ace almost vital and some of them are of long standing. It wa3 bom of the Quarterly Review, which is a mo.it defective parent, insincere even in name. Ostensibly, the Review was instituted to review the literature of the day. In fact, the contributor writes an essay, apropos of nothing, and then looks about for some book of which he can pretend the essay Is a review. Often the book whose title Is placed at the head of the essay is not even mentioned in the body of the article. With such parentage the monthly magazine had a poor start in life. At last it has abandoned literature absolutely, although the writers of Its dialect stories speak with an air about their literary labors. If the magazine has any distinct aim beyond getting as many advertisements as possible, it is to print pictures, especially the portraits of play-acting and stage-singing people, the letter. text being much like the matter of the Sunday newspaper. It seeks to please, which ia the particular thing it condemns in the newspaper. The Immediate reform we have in viw for the magazine is one that will be grateiui 10 me immense numDer or persons whose timely contributions have been rejected because "we have now on hand accepted articles for two years In advance." The fact that hardly any matter printed In the magazines is less than two vears old,-or that the matter accepted to-day is not likely to appear before the lapse of two years, is evidence of a fatal derect in magazine editing. Magazines do not determine the subject matter of public interest at any time. That Is done by events and by the. newspapers. In this prodigiously active age and country the changes in public interest and in public taste are L so rapid that it is impossible to foresee to day what win oe or nveiy interest two years away. For example, two years ago there was a rage for dialect stories. Magazine editors accepted and paid for them in tons, and continued to serve them on readers whose taste for such stories was satiated long, long ago. Having bought them, the editors are forced to print them to the bitter end, to the infinite weariness of the public and to the rejection of the fresh and delightful, matter for which the public taste Is ripe. It cannot be said of anything that it will do at all two years ahead. A great event, a war, a social disturbance of any kind, affects the needs of the time in eve ry department of human Interest We are reading magazines that bear the date of Septem?er, 1S94, but which. In fact, were virtually made up some time In the year 1S02. The contributors chose their subjects under conditions created by events and by newspiper comment? of some two years ago, while, the public demand, even as to fiction and adventures and pictures, is created by the events and newspaper comments of today. .

P.ERLIN, Sept. 13. The latest public utterance of Emperor William is his proclamation, issued from Schlobitten, at the conclusion of the army maneuvers. The proclamation was addressed to the Presidents of the provinces of East and West Prussia, and in it the Emperor cordially thanked the people of those portions of the empire, in the name of himself and the Empress, for the magnificent reception which was accorded to their Majesties. The Emperor also expressed gratitude for the attention and comfort bestowed upon the troops who w?re quartered upon the inhabitants during the maneuvers, adding: "I am delighted to perceive that the memory of my grandfather is kept alive in the province of Konigsburg." On the whole, the health of the army was good, although there were reports of choleraic cases' among the cavalry engaged In the maneuvers. But Investigation of the reports shows that they were unfounded. Emperor William expressed disapproval of the system of keeping the public at a great distance during the military evolu tions. Much complaint has been heard from the people on thi3 subject recently. and during Emperor William's criticism of the day's exercises at Elblng the police began roughly forcing back the crowds which attempted to approach the spot where the Emperor was surrounded by the commanding officers. As soon as he noticed the action of the ToIIce his Majesty interfered and ordered the police officials to allow the crowds to approach, saying: "The people want to see their Emperor, and the Emperor wants to see his people." News has Just been received here of the arrest, in Belgium, of Solomon Kauffman, formerly United States consular agent at Neustadt Bavaria, He is charged with appropriating various sums of money amounting altogether to 160,000 marks. Ths money, it appears, was sent by various American courts to persons residing in his district who had fallen heir to American estates. Kauffman is said to have owed. his appointment to John Winter, then United States consul at Magnheim, and the prisoner used his position, it is claimed, to work up estate claims in America. Some months ago, it is charged, full proof of Kauffmann's dishonesty was obtained, and being treatened with arrest he fled to parts unknown. As to disprove the French statements that he desired to discontinue the popular has announced his intention to have bronze medals cast from the French guns which were captured in the war of 1S70-1871, and to distribute them on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the battle of Sedan, Sept. 21, 1S35, to the surviving veterans of the German army. During the coming week the government machinery will be in full working order. All the members of the Cabinet except Chancellor von Caprivi. who remains at Carlsbad, are expected to return from their vacations. Among the new bills which the government is preparing is one imposing a tax on the export of saccharine and other chemically produced sweets which enter Into competition with German best sugar. This is intended to meet the complaints of the German sugar manufacturers who' are dissatisfied with the new United States tariff. The impression prevails that the official cholera reports are unreliable. Thus, for the week ending Sept. 10, the official re port gives thirty new cases of cholera and fifteen deaths from that disease for the whole of the German empire, while a local Breslau paper reports twenty-three cases r of cholera in one day at I.aurahutre and ten other cases the neighborhood of that place, of which .hole number seventeen cases were fatal. The frontier of the Mar ion district, West Prussia, has been closed against traffic from Russia, except at Ottlotschln, for railway passengers and at Schllino for water traffic. Russian dealers are prohibited from visiting the weekly market at Posen. The Vosslsche Zelt'ung says that Emperor AVllliam has written the words and music to a cantata in the style of the old minnesingers, or minstrels, extolling the personal and intellectual qualities of (Jueen Marga ret of Italy, to whom this composition was dedicated. . The hmperor 13 also said to have sent a copy of his cantata to the Queen of Italy. Retween 10 and 11 o'clock yesterday even ing Emperor William ordered the torpedo flotilla engaged in the naval maneuvers to attack the war vessels which were an chored off Sassnitz. The attack was very successful. The Emperor witnessed the naval operations to-day from on board the Ironclad v oerth. King Alexander of Servia Is at present diligently, studying German, as he intends to pay a personal visit to Emperor Williim during his forthcoming trip to Berlin. The young monarch will arrive in . Berlin on Oct. 20. and, will stay here a month or so. Another American, H. X. Nelson, of Boston, has scored a rank failure here. Ke rrretended to be the Inventor and owner of a flying machine made on an en tirely new principle, and to be able to llv some distance with it On making the attempt t4 carry out his promises, before a gathering In a suburb of Berlin, he fell into the river, but was saved. Memorial coins of the value of three marks, called 'reconciliation thalers," have been coined In the Berlin mint at the order of the Emperor to commemorate the reconciliation between His Majesty and the ex-Chancellor. Five thousand in all have been coined, but not for public use. One side snows tne t,mperor in a general's uniform, while the reverse dis covers Bismarck In cuirassier garb. On the rim of the coin appears, "Eln Gedacht M'sthaler." Freidolin Von Holbein, the last living descendant of tire famous painter, has been admitted as an inmate Into the poorhouse at Aussig. Fohemia; old, decrepit, and without mean of support lie had earned a scant livinc as a photographer s assis tant for many years at Vienna, Buda Pesth and elsewhere. During last year tne uerman army counted 11,000 recruits more in its ranks than the law of Aug. 3, 1893, regarding the new peace footing, called for. This excess was mainly due to the greater number of one-vcar volunteers. It is well known what an Interest the Ger man Empress takes In the erection of new churches and the renovation or old ones. Thus far. within the six years of th pres ent reign, eight new temples of Protestant worshin have been built in Berlin alone. either at her Instance or at least in conse quence of the encouragement and Impulse furnished by her. The latest of the churches built undtr her patronage, the now Church of Reconciliation, was dedi cated a few days ago. The magnificent Emperor William Memorial Church, while not yet finished so far as its tall steeple is concerned, is almost entirely furnished In its interior. About 13,000.000 marks have thus far been expended on it all the result of voluntary contributions and free gifts from the whole uerman nation, even Jewish financiers contributing iiberaiiy. .The Empress has returned to the new palare from Potsdam irom tne nortnwest. President Patton, of Princeton College. sailed for New York on Tnursday last on board the Anchor une steamship Rome. XICU FOR THE CAPTAIX. , That Dlemltary Xow Occupies a Place ot Security ou III Ship. Pearson's Weekly. In the days of wooden ships the post of the captain of a man-of-war was on the quarter-deck, where, exposed to the shots of the enemy, he directed the movements of the ship and controlled the lire of the battery. Th3 post of danger is a post of horor. but many a Drave captain nas lost his life by needlessly exposing himself to shot and hell. The dangerous position of tne leading spirit of the ship has In the past been a weak point In tne system of naval warrare. . In the ships of the present day a place Is set" apart which the commanding officer is to occupy during action. This is called the "conning tower." The conning tower is a cylindrical structure made of steel about three or four Inches thick, vith a domelike top. ll h-s a narrow entrance in the rir, protected by a, curved flanking piece o! the same thickness. Smalt sight-holes at pierced through the steel, and inside there is just room enough for three perthe captain, the helmsman and anoer man to work the signals to the different parts of the ship. The conning tower is situated in the forward part of t!ne ship, and from the ln3ld the captain has a clear view through narrow windows in all directions. From his station he has complete control of the movements of ths vessel end the Cre cf ths battery. On cither tMs cro thr Uvers for c -Jir7 C? crlr.: tzzt. Tt? Irvcra x:c: : - c

68 and 70 East immediately from the engine room, showing that the engines have been started ahead, reversed or stopped, as the caswr may be. But to make assurance doubly sure, an electric connection with each en gine shaft brings back a reply from the ! macninery ltseir. peaking tubes, telephones and electric bells lead to the engine room, the magazines and all the Important parts t)f the ship, -and to all the guns of the battery An arrangement for concentrating the fire.. of-i the suns on any one point is very striking. From his elevated post in the conning tower the captain has a better view than can be had from the guns themselves, where the smoke often obscures the object to be aimed at. Iiy mear.s of the range finder an apparatus recently devised, which., does its work by means of electrically controlled arms or pointers the exact distance of the enemy's ship is found in an instant. The captain orders the guns to be trained at a certain angle this is done by means of marks on the deck training circles than the elevation is given, and instantly answers are telegraphed back to the conning tower that the guns have been laid accordingly. Then the captain, by means of fixed sights in the peep holes of the tower, alms at the ship, or directs the helmsman at his sld? to turn the wheel, that the line of s'&ht for the given angle shall gradually coine on the same line as that leading from the ship to the object aimed at. With his finger on the electric button that closes the contact with the gun-firing apparatus, and hfs eyes carefully glancing along the line of the sisht he waits till the target appeara over the little points. Then, with a crash that shakes the ship from stem to stern, the whole broadside of guns pour out their deadly shell. If the conning tower should be destroyed the control of the ship Is not lost, for, far down below the water line, protected from injury ty a curved steel deck, is a duplicate of the steering apparatus, always ready in case of accident t the wheel .n deck.
