The souvenirs for the day were miniature cups, saucers and tea pots, brought from the French department of the world's fair. Among the guests were Mrs. Jerome Allen, of Greencastle, ,and Mrs. Alexander, of St. Louis. . tFORCED TO PAY CASH AVAItDEX 1IERT KEEPS THE PATTOX COMPANY TO TERMS. Many Improvement Made- nt JelTerouTtlle nnd Prison Odor Re-ihoted-Changea in Rales. Warden Hert arrived last night from Jefferson ville and registered at the Denison. He Is attending; to some business In connection with the Patton, contract. The Patton company, it will be remembered, owes the State 110,000 from the account which ended up to the time that Warden Patten was succeeded by Mr. Hert, and the State has brought suit for Its collection. Warden Hert 'refused to allow the company to have the labor unless paid for promptly and Oct. 10 was the last day. It was then a question whether the cells would' remain locked or the company pay the amount due for labor since Mr. Hert assumed control, and the company showed up with a check for $2,600. There is, therefore, nothing owing" from the company for labor during the term of the present management, and Mr. Hert says that he will not allow the account to accumulate. "The' prison has been cleaned, painted and freshened from top to bottom," said Mr. 'Hert, in talking- of the Institution. We have removed! 300 wagon loads of filth and have - used fifty barels of lime and largo quantities of lead and paint in makingthe' place bright and clean. We have removed the prison smell, for which there is no excuse. I found that the ell management had required the men to make their own beds aa soon as they arose In tha .morning, and that while some were cleanly and .took pride in neat quarters, others were careless and indifferent. There was always an ' odor from their cells. Instead of that system, I have appointed a man for each tow of cells to sec to the cleaning and care of the cells- and' hold them responsible for cleanliness. , The change has worked very well. The prison discipline Is good and things aro moving smoothly. It Is true : the attendants and guards are now Republican, but when It comes to contracts for supplies the. lowest and best bidder pets the contract regardless of politics. That was something- that did not exist under the former management. lhe policy has enabled nie to save 3) per cent, on meat, 16 cents a ton on coal and very largely on all supplies. There is a system of moral suasion in governing the convicts which worlds well. None of the guards, except those on the walls, are armed. A couple- of Kentuckians came over to visit the prison yesterday, with revolvers strapped about their waists, but they were not allowed to go through the prison until these arms were, laid aside. For ome of He evils of prison life a system of shavinjr half of the head has been adopted with very beneficial results. The prisoner has to run a gauntlet of ridicule front the S-V) ' other convicts. The convicts are not allowed, of course, to converse, but It Is impossible to repress the low whistle which -the men give as they see the unfortunate prisoner passing- with evidence of his guilt in the shaved head. The particular evil is very largely broken up." WORK OF A RAZOR. John Crr' Fnre Marked for Life by (icorge Hatch. Geonce Hatch and John I'arr, two colored men who were drinking- In the barrel houses on East Washington street last night, became involrcd in a quarrel, and when near the corner of Washington and Alabama streets.

SPKINGER CASE AGAIN

PLACED OX TRIAL, SU'T SUDDENLY ixTEnnirrED. One of tlie Juror Charged wilh Having; Expressed an Opinion Adverse to the Plaintiff. The interminable Springer case, in. which William G. Springer seeks to recover for the loss of the services of his minor son who was injured in the Thorpe Rlock several years ago, was put on trial yesterday In the Circuit Court, but as usual before night there was a hitch in the proceedings. A witness was found who testified on examination In open court that John H. Stearns, one of the jurors, was not qualified to act because he had at one .time expressed an adverse opinion. The jury had been dismissed until Monday and the court, after hearing the testimony, reiured to take any action until the Juror co-dl be heard In his own defense. The case had proceeded n.o further than to hear the opening statement of the attorneys. This is the second time the trial h's been postponed on account of the jury. In the trial of the case in 1831, the Jury was allowed to go to the building and inspect the elevator which caused the accident in the Thorpe Rlock, the victim being the minor son of the plaintiff. The jurors were given certain instructions as to what they could do In the building, but one of them dlregarded the instructions. The case was then allowed to go no further. After Impaneling and addressing the jury in the second trial yesterday attorney Rooker learned that juror Stearns had once told Mrs. Isabella Whipple, one of his witnesses, that the Springers might as well not push their case, as they could recover nothing. As soon as the witness could be secured the attention of Judge Brown was called to the matter. Mrs. Whipple told the court that while she was living with Mrs. Hinshaw, Mr. Stearns's mother in-law, she had a conversation with him. about the Springer case. It was just after she had come from the court room where she had been called as a witness. It was then that Mr. Stearns said: "The Springers might as well not push that case. The boy is a bad boy, and was playing about the elevator when the accident happened." In the questions put to the Jurj-, each was aiked IX he had formed or expressed any opinion about the case or had read the newspaper accounts of its numerous apparances In court. Mr. Stearns had testified that if he had ever heard of the case he had ' forgotten it, and that he was able to give a fair and Just verdict. Jndge Brown will give him a chance to explain Monday morning. The accident Urst got into court through a suit of the injured youth by his father, as next menu, ior damages against iiyram & Cornelius, who own the Thorpe Block. That was in 1XW. It was tried and the Jury disagreed. The second trial resulted In a verdict of K000 for the plaintiff, rhe case was appealed to general term and the Judgment reversed. The plaintiff then appealed to the Supreme Court, where the Judgment of the general term was affirmed. The suit pending now in the Circuit Court waa brought for loss of the services of the boy. .NO LIDEL IY THE CHARGE. Mra. Georgia. A. M'ilklnn Defeated in the Supreme Court. The ruling of Judge RroWn, of the Circuit Court, In the case of Georgia A. WHkins against the Board of Children's Guardians has been sustained by the Supreme Court. The board took the child of Mrs. Cv'llklns .and in its petition to the court charged that the mother led a life of gross debauchery. The woman brought a suit for damages but did not succeed in getting a Judgment. Judge Jordan, who wrote the opinion, holds that there was no malice in the words of tae petition and that the alleged libelous words were but statutory grounds, which. If found to exist, would warrant the court to award the cuptody of the woman's chili to the board. The law, the court says, is founded on the necessity of preserving the due - administration of Justice. The Silverware Inquiry. The court of inquiry appointed by Adjutant-general Robblns to Investigate the alleged theft of silverware from a Peru restaurant by members of the Indiana National Guard, will complete its work this week. The investigations have been carried on at the different cities in the district where the Third Regiment is located. The suspected companies belong at Plymouth, South Bend and LaPorte. All of the members of the Third Regiment have been' paid for their sendees while in camp at Fairview except these three companies. Their pay will be withheld until the theft has been traced down. Election Cane Argnert. The suit of Zeis against Passwater. appealed from the Hamilton Circuit Court, was argued yeiterday before the Supreme Court. The contestants were both candidates for the office of trustee. Tlie election board. In making its returns, gave Zeis J97 votes and Passwater 196. The latter arpealed to the County Commissioners and was declared elected. Zeis took the case to the Circuit Court, where the vote was decided to he a tie and a vacancy was declared. The old Incumbent is holding over. Zel appealed to the Supreme Court on the ground that a new trial was refused. The lnsrrortU Claim. In regard to his claim against the State, that was passed upon by the Court of Claims Thursday, Frank B. Ainsworth says the court found In his favor in regard to the facts, but refused to make tho allowance because of a receipt in full held by the State. Mr. Ainsworth says this receipt was given in a compromise on some other matters and did not Include the claim that he Is now making. He says the court did not Jlnd that ho had no authority to make the purchase. - Selinjler HntiKhey'a Trial Tuesday. Judge Baker . returned yesterday from Evansville, . where he held a three days session of the United States Court. He will ko to Goshen to-day to remain until Monday evening. Frank Coffin will not be sentenced -Mondav as has been nrmmint Judge Baker says that the trial of Bchuyler xiinut-j nm urum promptly Ixies.lay morning.

Montgomery from infringing on a patent loop for bridles, owned by George 1 imith. The court finds that the plaintiff is entitled to damages. Minor Court Items. Noel W. Williams was yesterday admitted to the bar by Judge Carter on motion of 6mlley N. Chambers. Michael Galm yesterday qualified as guardian of the three minor heirs of Martin Galm by giving a bond of $10,000. David Jordan, a colored ex-soldier, was yesterday sentenced by Judge MeCray to the State's prison for five years for a heinous offense against nature. The Board of Commissioners yesterday allowed Sheriff Womack 1871 for the care and keeping of prisoners during the month of September. -The amount is $2f) larrer than usual, owing to the great number of prisoners awaiting trial at the fall term of court.

French, In ihe university extension lecture: course Xbe subject was composition in literature and art. He first reviewed briefly the. lecture of the preceding week and explained the object of the new lecture, in whlch he hoped to trace the lesa familiar by .points of analogy. He then described the many terms which are used interchangeably 'In literature, art and muic, such as tone,, proportion, color and shade, which show a;, relation between the arts. He desired to - Impress the fact that art is 'a mode of . 'expression, a kind of language. Art in Itself Is without character unless it is applied, and artistic pursuits are higher than material results. In tracing the analogy, Mr. Fraench told of the manner in which a minister prenares his sermon. He first chooses a text, then forms the outline, or what Is called the "skeletcn," and then he fills it In with pertinent matter, incidents and the 'like. The -next proceeding was -watched wifdi interest, for Mr. French turned to the paper and crayons. First he. said he would sketcli a skeleton, a real one and not a figurative one. The skeleton was supposed to be in the position of throwing' a stone. The skeleton was made and then itv was Clothed in flcsh. A few lines at the knee and belt "made him a neat and inexpensive suit." Then he added a brown coat, a gay pair of trousers, with the remark: "He's our man and we have a rig:ht to dress him as we please." Dark accent lines made of him .a political cartoon. . f The little trick artists have that is called squinting was explained as a desire on the part of the artist to see the outlines or a figure with as little of: the detail as possible. Another few minutes at the sketch board showed the rude outlines ot some animals. TheFO were-, filled In and were mn to be a pig,' a cpw. a fish and an owl. A portrait and the head of a lion were al.o shown in the Fame. way. The analogy betweeu art and literature was suggested in tho words color, light, phade, unit and repetition. For the latter Toe's "Raven" was cited. Then the plans, which Roe acknowledged as having: used when he wrote the poem, were pointed out the form, the raven, the iteration and reiteration of and the value of the word "more." One of the pictures made was a view of Lake Como, copied by the artist lecturer In the National Gallery at Ixndon, from a picture of that name by Clarkson Stanfield. Poetry he described as a graceful mode of expression. Cicero declared that arts are bound together bv law. The technical difficulties in art Mr. French deems greater than those in literature. :. The stereoptlcon views showed some. of the works of the masters of art of the world and were accompanied by explanatory remarks. The next lecture in the eeries will be given next Friday night. PROSPECTS FOR GAS. What the Different Companies .Are Doing for ihe Winter. The Consumers Gas Trust Company, in accordance with its regular winter custom, has notified its patrons that gas will not be furnished for power boilers ' during the cold weather.

GOLD-MINING MADNESS

THE VMIKALTHY ENGLISH ROOM I SOUTH AFRICA STOCKS. ew Securities YVline Arrival Han Dvrnrfed AH Other Investment Offered in the London Market. S. F. Van Oss, in the Nineteenth Century Magazine. Since last autumn the city (meaning London) has witnessed the gradual development of what Is now widely known as the "mining boom." Though of small dimensions in Its Initial stages, the speculative rise in South African and other mining stocks has by degrees assumed dimensions which place it foremost among the economic features of the moment, and also among the topics of the day. There can scarcely be a person in the United Kingdom who Is not aware cf its existence. Everybody speaks of it, or hears others discuss it; everybody presumed to have, some means is the recipient of at least five or six mining prospectuses a week. The papers teem with long advertisements containing . the prospectuses of newmining companies, and almost every dally journal has conceded a special column to "the mining market," which, comet-like, for the time being obscures w ith its prominence all other objects on the firmament of finance. A whole mushroom press has sprung up in the city, largely called forth by the fostering sun of company advertising on an unstinted scale. Perhaps 23,030 a week Is now spent In bringing new mining ventures to the notice of the public. The Stock Exchange is so active that 'tefter hours" huge concourses of people have often obstructed traffic In Throgmorton street to an extent which necessitated police intervention; the three fortnightly settlement days had to be augmented by one, because It was impossible to crowd all -the work within the customary time; many firms of stock brokers have been forced to -double their staff and keep their offices open night and day at times; and all this upheaval emanates exclusively from the activity in the mining market, the other departments being quiet in the extreme. In clubs and trains, in drawing rooms and boudoirs.people are discussing "Rand's" and' "Modders." Even tradesmen and old ladies have taken to studying the mining manual, the rules of the Stock Exchange and the highways and byways of stock brokerage. Frequent Instances are quoted of persons who have made' mapy thousands by "Judicious operations," and there are very few people who do mot wish to reach the same desirable end along the same apparently easy way. In short, we are in the midst of one of those eras of speculative activity which, as all students of finance and economics know, are constantly alternating with periods of stagnation. How did this '.'boom" arise? What are its mediate and immediate causes? What are its features? What consequences has it, and to what end will it lead? INDIRECT CAUSE OF THE BOOM. The Indirect cause of the boom lies the inevitable results of the period stagnation which followed in the Wake In of of the wild financiering of lS87rl890. We always producing frtsh capital, and are we have so much of it that unless there is a constant overflow to foreign countries we become glutted with "money" to an extent which most seriously reduces the yield of capital Since 1891 but little of our surplus wealth has found its way abroad, by reason of the lack of confidence ' In foreign borrowers, and the consequence has been the gradual appreciation of all good investments and the attendant serious decrease In the loan value of all capital. The enormous rise In consols, home railway stocks, and the like, has, as is generally known, been one main result of an excessive store of loanable capital. As we kept on creating more wealth every day the position became at: last so untenable that any fair field .for Jnvestment was bound to receive due attention on the part of the capitalists. At-the same time the financiers of the city, who had passed three most unprofitable year9 of stagnation, were mire to support anything that could revive their business. The "financial" press, which had been languishing from the same cause, could be relied upon to encourage any movement that was likely - to bring grist to its mill. Hence conditions were extremely favorable for any promising sphere of investment. Yet where could such a field be found? South America was practically still in the bankruptcy court, Australia had not nearly recovered from the economio-ordeal through which it had just passed, there was war in the far East, and the United States, the greatest employer of British capital, acute depression continued to prevail and transatlantic railway securities still sighed under the stigma of their recent misfortunes, of some fiagrant instances of mismanagement and dishonesty and of the apparent dangers of injurious silver or tariff legislation.' ' ENTER THE "KAFFIRS." At this juncture South African mining stocks began to attract attention. Especially the recent application of the cyanide process on a large scale resulted in vastly increasing profits. The monthly output kept on growing steadily, there was, a gradual improvement in dividends, and there was glowing reports of new discoveries. The regularity of the output of many wellknown mines began to impress people. The German government dispatched an expert, Dr. Schmelsser. who, after painstaking and impartial investigation, published a very favorable report. Hamilton Smith, a mining engineer, understood to have been employed in the house of Rothschild, went to the Wltwatersrand district, .and in the Times stated views as sanguine and well-authenticated as his German confrere. Of these and other reports which creater a profound impression, the pleading South African financiers made good use. These magnates have been biding their time for years, and were ready to promote a rise. People were now. only more favoraibly impressed with the same shares which they had with excellent -eason denounced five short years ago. The investor was waiting, yawning . for a profitable field or Investment; the talented leaders of Rand finance, full of resources, set their levers In motion, and within a very short time they "engineered a boom" more acute since and the widespread than anything seen days of the railway mania. Within little more than half a year the condition of timid enterprise had gradually degenerated into a craze for reckless speculation and a huge advance in values has taken place. The aggregate quotation of Wltwatersrand shares alone has risen from 30,009,000 last autumn to some 1.")0,000,000 now. There have been some phenomenal rises, eclipsing by far the most remarkable Increases in quotations recorded during the Jgreat railway speculation. Some shares have within a lew- years usen -.is per cent., where so far they never yielded a farthing in dividends. Instances of stocks which quoted 1.000 or l.o00 per cent, of their face value are common, and a rise of a few hundred per cent, during the whole campaign is regarded as small and unsatisfactory. Almost every new Issue of shares s subscribed for many times over, and In some instances millions of money are readily supplied without questioning or conditions for purposes which nobody can deflne MINES OF RESOURCES. Then turning to the mines and their re-' sources, Mr. Van Oss writes thus: Of the gold mines and of the industry one could not speak otherwise than in terms of praise. Long before the Cape mall train reaches Johannesburg one perceives ah endless row of huge works with tall chimneys and huge yellow heaps of tailings, which, over a distance of more than a score of miles, lines the? top of the escarpment called ' Wltwatersrand. These works, which now directly employ ' fifty thousand native miners and eight thousand Europeans, crush with their 2.700 stamps enough rock to produce over 200,000 ounces of gold a month, and the output of ore is so regular and reliable that there is literally no possibility of dlsappontment in any of the well-established mines, for the great feature of the Wltwatersrand gold field is a singular regularity of the auriferous strata. Kvervwhere elpe gold has been found erratically distributed, and. especally in California and Australia, so-called pockets have been the feature, but here there are always in the well-explored parts of the "rand" certain reefs which never fall which run dewn with an, almost even dip of from twenty-five to sixty degrees, and which, making allowance for certain wellknown gradations, contain a proportion of fold that is not subject to great variations, lence the contents of the oider. well-es-taHlyhed mlr.rs are almost exactly kr.awn. 4 czi C3 ths tzztz r:v:r trzili cr C::-zr.

and feel like a new man. gold mining on he "rand" possesses an element of certainty which in other countries has so far been foreign to it. This Wltwatersrand formation Is almost fifty miles lonjr. and over at least twenty miles of the distance chiefly in its central parts It is as jj?t described. At the extremities the veins feem to be less rich and slightly less uniform, and the properties on them being les thoroughly explored., their merits are still more or less problematic although geologists assert that everything points to identity with the better known portions. Dr. tchmei.eeer and Hamilton Smith concur in estimating the value of the gold in this district down to a depth of about 1,200 feet at nomewhere between JSO,000.000 and $350,OU0.003.-' Whether it will be possible tJ work the reefs at greater depth than the one jut mentioned, - and whether they continue lengthwise underground beyond the present known limits, are. In Johannesburg, the questions of the hour. The product of the mines is next touched upon as follows: A ton of ore yields on the average 2 s 61 in gold, to extract which, costs only il 10s 6d. Hence, over one-third of the gold produced is profit. In 1894. with a produciion of over 2,000,000 ounces, worth 7.500,000, the Industry yielded, therefore, a profit of over 2.500,000, of which 1.580,000 was paid in dividends, the remainder being used for improvements or development of the properties. This year the output will be 2.50MIO) ounces, the profits 3,230.000. and th dividends perhaps 2,500,000, next year the Increase in the number of stamps warrants this assumption there will be an output of 3,000.000 ounces, and 3,500.000 may be paid in dividends, but even this huge figure, which, I believe, is the maximum, one can safely assume represents only a poor 2U per cent, upon the present market value of the gold shares, which, on the basis of the present prices and lividend5, yield, on the average, considerably less than 2 per cent. net. TUB FINANCIAL .SUE. Returning again to the financial side of the question the writer thus takes up the characteristics of "Rand" finance and of the mining' market: The beginning of the industrial activity in and near Johannesburg coincided with the abatement of speculative activity in KImberley, where the gradual consolidation of the diamond industry spoiled business. Hence the moving spirits of the diamond fields, good and! bad, migrated to the "Rand." When the foreign public was first invited to lend Its capital to makers of the "Rand" the feature of the formation and the possibility of those technical perfections wre not realized even by the most sanguine. Even had they been, we might have Men "Rand" on a basis entirely different from what it is now. There would perhaps have been a fewconcerns with a large capital issuing londs and shares of a large nominal amount to investors, but the actual state of affairs became widely different. A bond issued by a mine would have been a kind of financial monstrosity, and adhesion to the custom of using 1 shares was dictated by the conditions of the moment. This small share was eminently suited to all concerned. By virtue of its low nominal amount ft appealed to the multitude with savings, and by reason of Its enormous comparative - fluctuations, often 12 per ceni. and never less than 2t. It appealed to the speculator and the wire puller. ' Notably the system of small companies with 100.000 or 150,000 capital at the most suited the Johannisburg financiers. It resulted, from the outset, in a system of "control" which has left its trail over the entire history of "Rand" finance, and has always been ita greatest drawback. The "syndicate" pegged out claims and combined them. It brought out companies whereof it took nearly all the cash and enough shares to remain master in spite of the transfer of the property. It, with Its members or its successful successor, who, after internecine strife, had ousted or bested his partners and rivals, effected amalgamations and purchases and reconstructions which rendered the history of most enterprises complex and dismal and increased both the wealth and power of thje "boss." The result is that to-day we behold a state of. affairs closely akin to that of the American railway world of twenty years ago. Among the hundred leading companies there are few, indeed, whose history is free from stains due to autocratic and irresponsible management. True, many of them have such a strong constitution, that they have emerged almost unscathed from the ordeal through which their "boss" has made them pass, and If most magnates of the "Rand" have taken and demolished with one hand, they have undoubtedly also Riven and built up with the other. Over, all ihe mines, however, good and btd alike, there hangs the sword of "control." euspended by the horsehair of expediency. M'LEOD DEFEATS COMSTOCK. The Til jc Man Thrown In fieven Minute and Agrnln In Six Mlnntca. . The wrestlinr match last night at Kngli.'h's Opera House between. Jack Cornstock, of Port Huron. Mich., and Dan Medod, the Californian who has adopted Indianapolis - as his home, proved to be a match between two sick men, but It was none the less interesting while It lasted. McLeod won In two rapid bouts of seven and six minutes, respectively. The work of the two men was quick and In the last bout terrific. McLeod, in entering the match, realized that he was not in a condition for a long struggle, so he ended It as soon as possible, doing little defensive work. Comstock was taken sick after the eion of granted. ond bout, was in a first bout and asked an intermistwenty minutes," which was lie appeared gamely for the seebut after a few terrific falls he condition to be placed shoulders down. The match, it seems, was of interest to the w-restling woild. In Chicago last night there was some little betting with odls of 8 to 1 on McLeod. Comstock is a heavy weight and McLeod. although a middle weight, claims the catch-as-catch-can championship of the world.' He has vainly endeavored to get a match with one of tlie two or three allegred champions, but has failed, and the ease with which he threw Comstock last night demonstrates that he could throw the alleged champions If given an opportunity. The public has been worked in times past by fake matches, but the allegation has never been made here of crooked wotk In a match in which McLeod was a participant. He is a hard worker and at each match demonstrates that as a wrestler he Is a wonder. McLeod has, perhaps, wrestled once or twice in matches which amounted to little more than exhibitions, but the public has generally understood the situation, and each time a good exhibition has been given. The match last night did not look to be simply an exhibition. It was mggested that Comstock was backed as a "feeler" in order that It might be known how Mcleod stands with a heavy weight. Comstock is a beautiful physical specimen. He is mrong. quick, and possesses science: but McIrod lias a way cf his own which generally wins for him. Comstock weighed about 190, while McL?od wa reported as being at 170. Professor Mols, of the Turner, acted as referee. In the first bout loth men started with a rush. McLeod's holds were broken several times, but In his characteristic way. that is by the liberal use of his legs, he downed Comstock in seven minute?. Comstock was turned over by a hammer lock, when McLeol changed his hold like a flash, and, getting Comstock's arms from his body, forced hi? shoulder to the mat with his knees. The feature of the second bout was a series of half Nelsons which McLeod worked, sending Com?tock over three or four timer. The Michigan man wriggled out of the dangerous hold several times. McLeod finally made a final effort ard. bv his lightning changes of holds, forced Comstock down In much the same manner as he did in the tlrrt bout. The match was for a purse of 00 and a side stake of A mitch between Herb Hale, of this city, and t'humscUer. ' of Cleveland, was anr tD t i-zz tr.o wet-s frcm zz
