AN UNNATURAL YOUTH

DIR!; HIS TIIIAL. IV CItlMIVAL. COIHT S TRICK HIS POOR MOTUKR. Valentine Meyer then Cursed Judge Ilrovvn for Sending II I m to the Reform School. Tho ofUcials of the Criminal Court wltnersed a shameful fpectacle yesterday mornlpg aa acting Judge Brown sentenced Valentine Meyers, a fifteen-year-old incorrigible, to the Reform School for Boys. The boy has been living with his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Meyer, and two sisUr, at No. ICS West Merrill street. A year ago he was brought before Judge McCray on the charge of incorrigibility, but was let go on his good behavioh He then appeared penitent and threw his arms around his mother's neck and wept tears of thankfulness when sbe Interceded for him. His conduct was quite different yesterday. Mrs. Meyers male afilSavit to the vicious character of her son and told Judge Brown about his bad conduct. According to her evidence the boy has been a terror to the family. He has been guilty of almo3t every offense, and while committing his petty acts of villainy he did not forget to black his sisters' eyes occasionally. Just before the court pronounced sentence the yourg miscreant brutally called to his mother: "Gimme that quarter you promised me." Tears stood In the poor woman's eyes as she took out her pocketbook and stepped to the boy's side. A3 he took the money he truck her full In the breast and she fell backward over a chair. "There, d n you," snarled the young fiend, "I never want to see you again." Sheriff Womack helped Mrs. Meyers to her feet and with piteous sobs she sought a chair. ."I think I can send you to a place where you will cairn ?own considerably," klIJ Judge Brown. "You will stay In the Reform School until you are of age unless you mend your ways. I sincerely hope you may conduct yourself correctly so that you may regain your liberty before that time." "You're d n kind, ain't you," retorted tho unnatural youth as the sheriff led him away. The mother was not seriously hurt. OX A 25 FEU'CEXT. BASIS. Derauw Indebtedness to Dunk of Commerce Compromised. Probate Commissioner O'Bryan yesterday approved a settlement of the indebtedness of the oil DePauw glass works to the Bank of Commerce. When the bank retired from the commercial world it held the notes of the PePauws for 110,000, secured by mortgages on certain property. The American plate glass works i"tenvard took control of the DePauw property. The mortgage indebtedness of the property aggregated about 430,000. Recently the American plate glass work3 offered to liquidate the DePauw indebtedness to the bank on a 25 per cent, basis, the payment to consist of shares of stock in tne glass work3. The offer was acceptVd and the matter was fixed up before the probate commissioner yesterday. The Crowd Applauded the Verdict. Mulligan, the alleged forger, was tried in tho Criminal Court by Jury yesterday and promptly acquitted. Mulligan sold books for a ouDllihing house and it was claimed that he had forged an order for an encyclo- i pacuia. Alter neanng me i'iuum.-o me jmjr retired and made a verdict in fifteen minutes. When the verdict of aciuittal was read the crowd In the court room broke into applause, which the court did not attempt to silence. . Compromised with Lebunou. The suit of Henry L. Bynum and others against the city of Lebanon, brought, to this county on a change of venue, was compromised In the Circuit Court yesterday. The suit was to recover for material and supplies furnished the Lebanon water works when the plant was built in 15U1. The Bynum company sued for $3,Ojo, but compromised for 4,5uo.

Funeral of Churl en J. Xazworthy Amount of HI Defalcation. The body of Charles S. Nazwor'.hy, the young lawyer who shot himself Tuesday afternoon, was taken to his old home, Sullivan, 111., last night. Yesterday morning his only near relatives, Mr. and Mrs. O. C. Eggler, arrived in this city to take charge of the remains. Mrs. Eggler is a sister of the dead man. A committee representing Lodge No. W, of the Knights oZ Pythias and the Marlon Club, to both of which organizations Nazworthy belonged, accompanied the remains.

W. Wlshard, resident manager of the American Surety Company, said yesterday that he had not made a thorough examination of the papers in the American Lounge Company assignment, and that until that was done he would be unable to determine the exact amount of Nazworthy's defalcation. E. V. Clarke, an official of the Surety company, was appointed Nazworthy's successor, but made no special efforts yesterday to obtain control of his papers and accounts. It will probably bo two or three days before the amount of the shortage is determined. William H. NIckerson, in whose court Nazworthy was deputy prosecutor, will be appointed administrator of the young man's estate, although it is supposed he leaves little, if any property.

William "Watson Woollen Denounce Statutes on that Subject. At a meeting of the Booker T. Washingion Literary Society, held 1n the A. M. E. Chapel last night, William Watson Woollen, attorney, read an interesting paper relative to the laws cf this State prohibiting Intermarriage between whites and blacks. In introducing the speaker, W. Allison Sweeney, president of the society, referred to the fact that it was well known that Mr. Woollen had always been a friend of 'the negro, and had done much, In a quiet way, towards leveling unjust prejudices that existed towards the race. Mr. . Woollen expressed his belief that the present 'black laws" were a relic of baiarrsm ;tta ought to be abolished. The law' 'preventing; intermarriageswas passed soon after the constitutional convention, together with e number of other odius measures that have since been abolished, notably the statute which disqualified negroes from testifying in court. In part, Mr. Woollen said: "Yesterday morning I received an Invitation from your president, eaylng that this society desired from me 'an expression of my ideas and viers relative to the wisdom, Justice and necessity of the Indiana laws prohibiting the intermarriage of blacks and whites.' The request was-to me a surprise net because of its,jHiportaiic but because I thought It wiu: well understood In this community what my views are in relation to laws which discriminate against a people because of their color. . Since my earliest recollection I have believed in the equality of men, and have at all times when opportunity offered denounced oppression, and now. In the after part, of life, I have no cause to change the convictions thus formed and advocated. "Three words full of meaning occur In the request; that is to say the 'wisdom justice' and 'necessity of the laws prohibiting the intermarriage of blacks and whites. Certainty of enforcement is essential to every w isely constructed criminal law. No criminal law Is wise which can be evaded. The law under consideration is of this character. It is prohibitory in its character. It forbids marriage between white persons and persons having one-eighth or more negro blood. But there is no law which forbids such person from going without the jurisdiction of the State and getting married and then returning into this State as citizens. The result is that the law is constantly evaded. Thus we have the disgrace of having such a law' within our statutes, and it is a 'dead letter and inoperative. There can he no wisdom in this." Continuing. Mr. Woollen said that the law had been upheld by the Supreme Court of this State, Judj-e Samuel. H. Buskirk delivering the opinion of the court. After writing a sixteen-page decision, the Judge said: "Under the police powers possessed by the State, they (the legislators) undoubtedly have the power to pas3 such laws. The people of the State have declared that they are opposed to the Intermarriage of races and all amalgamations,' "It is at once obvious," said Mr. Woollen, "that the decision is founded upon a falsehood. The people of this State have never declared that they are opoosed to the intermarralge of racea and 'all amalgamations. Tlie whites of the State may intermarry with every other race on the face of the globe except negroes. This fact brings prominently to view the injustice of the law. . It is special clas3 legislation, and that is contrary to the principles and Constitution of tho State. It Is expressly provided by the Constitution that 'all laws shall be general and of uniform operation throughout the State.' Yet here we have a law that is aimed at iind confined to a particular and special class of citizens. We have already shown that the law la a prohibitory law which does not prohibit, and that consequently it Is a dead letter. This, without further argument, as it seem3 to me, proves that the law is unnecessary. "Many black laws which existed in this State have been wiped out. Why? Because they were not In harmony with the Institutions and civilization of this country, and were unnecessary. History has demonstrated that the two races can live together, be educated together and accorded equal privileges without degrading either. And so It will be when the Intermarriage law has been repealed: and that it will bo repealed Is Just as certain as it i3 that In the end dish t will prevail. States adlolninir have no -such laws. 'and veL in all that goes to make of them great and, good States, they are tne peers or this State; and this, it seems to me. argues the want of necessity for such laws. "The very foundation of all these laws was the deeo-seated theory that the negro was an inferior creature. I am giad I have lived long enough to see this theory exploded. The lives of Frederick Douglas, Booker T. Washington and a thousand others stamp the assertion of such a theory ns a lie. No people in the world, under like circumstances, have shown such a wonderful capacity for advancement. What, then. Is the duty of the hour? The answer is, to wipe from the statutes of this State the laws which are and which have been a disgrace to tne State. The colored men of the State ought to organize and vote as one man for members of the next CJeneral Assembly who will stand pledged to vote for the repeal of the? laws. The balance of rower Is with you. ar.d you owe It to your race and to our State to see that it is done." Owing to the extremely cold weather, the turnout last night wa3 not so large as had been expected, and discussions of the naper were postponed until the next meeting, which will be held in tho chapel at the corner , of Blackford And North streets u-Km Friday night ' of, nxt weex.

CHICAGO'S DARK SNOW

XOT MUCH OF A PIIEX03IEXOX IF SCIENTISTS SPEAK ARIGHT. The - Discoloration Caused by Unit from Dry Fields and Soot from "Windy City Smoke Stacks. WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-An official statement concerning Chicago's black snow was given to-day by Chief Moore, of the Weather Bureau. Moore's explanation follows: "The black snow that has lately fallen In Chicago and the Northwest' is entirely similar to the great fall of January, 1S95, the nature of which was thoroughly Investigated by the Weather Bureau at that time. Notwithstanding the theoretical suggestion that the black deposit of last January might have come from beyond the earth, and might be meteoric or cometic, or might even be volcanic dust from Alaska or Japan, careful Investigation showed that it was due to none of these causes. On the contrary, microscopic examination proved that the black deposit contained about 4 per cent, of the most delicate organic structures (such as diatoms and spores), and about 6 per cent, of the finest posslbl inorganic matter, such as makes up the ordinary fine silt and clay soils. All this fine material is easily caught up by the dry sinds whenever they exceed twenty miles per hour, and Is carried to great distances before it has time and opportunity to settle on the ground. It is easily brought down in large quantities by sr.ow or rain, but is only perceived by the ordinary observer when there is a clean surface of snow for it to fall on. Large portions of the country from Nebraska southward to the gulf are covered by this fine soil, whose depth sometimes i3 one hundred feet. A gale of wind t has been known to carry away six inches of the surface soil from a freshly cultivated field and spread it over the land a hundred miles away. The blackness is due to the fineness of the silt, and not to any magnetic iron." VIEWS OF CI1ICAGOANS. Opinions of Professors Chamberlain, Colbert and Gurrlott. CHICAGO, Feb. 19. Some of the local papers treated last night's fall of black snowas a joke, but it was not so regarded by tho peopIe whose clothes were soiled by the "degenerated beautiful." The little typhoon, or simoon, or whatever it was, started just before 6 o'clock. It was noticed n West Chicago that the 6ky was rapidly filling with dark, brownish clouds. A gale had been blowing all day. There suddenly burst upon the startled watchers a heavy flurry of Eoft snow. The wind increased in velocity. The people were surprised to feel the stuff cutting' their faces. They wondered at the storm, and after five minutes found their faces plastered with mud and their clothing so thickly emeared they could write their names on each other's backs. People who started home .at 6 o'clock, were amazed at the antics of the wind. It seemed to blow up and down. This was accepted without much complaint, since the long-suffering souls of this climate have learned to accept everything with good grace. It was at least a variation from the monotony of face-peeling horizontal blizzards to have one dance around In circles and sail down the streets in skirt-dance gyrations. It would blow a fair, straightway galo for about three minutes, and then sweep down from the tops 'of the sky-scrapers at a speed which registered seventy miles on tho instrument. Tho snow followed the little whirlwinds. It was tho first conclusion of tho crowds on the streets that the swift gusts had gathered the sand from tho pavements. But the sand quickly became so dense that the lights a block distant flickered as in a mist. ThereJormed little groups of people on the corners and under the electric lamos. They found the sand would not brush off, that it fwas of peculiar composition and that Ave minutes against tne gale gave a deep, adobe complexion. There was smudge and g-rlrne on nlne-teutha of the faces in the theaters. The h .ts of the men looked as though they, had been sprinkled and then rolled in dirt. The phenomenon was noticed by the scientists of the University of Chicago. Professor Thomas C. Chamberlin, the geologist, started at onco to discover the cause. He caught some of the stuff and put it under the glass. His first conclusion was that it was too dark to bo of volcanic origin. A plausible explanation, in'hls opinion, is that the recent high winds, sweepeing over some stretch of sand, has carried the dirt into the upper atmosphere. It may have been carried thousands of miles, to be turned down upon this region by a colder current of air, bearing snow. His microscope did not reveal the exact character of the dust, save that it was mineral, and not of the substances which make the common showers of organic dust. This manner of storm has been of rare occurrence. It has never before visited Chicago. The Professor says that they are common in Italy and southern Europe, where the gales sweep north from the Sahara desert. It is recorded that during one of these visitations the sand fell to a depth of an inch over an area as large as Illinois. This local fall may have come from some uncovered plain in the extreme south of the United States. It has been seen that the phenomenon happens only during a snowstorm. It is known to scientists as the "red fog," since the mixture bears a cinnamon color, and when it is sufficiently abundant to darken the air, as It was last night, the common name is "blood rain." "Of course," Professor Chamberlain admitted, "the substance may possibly b volcanic dust, but its color is against it. Volcanic du3t is of a lighter color, but this that has fallen In Chicago is almost black. If it turned out to be volcanic dust the visitation would be the result of an eruption somewhere In the Southwest, the high wind carrying the particles miles from the scene of the eruption. Just as the pollen of plants Is wafted through space. I believe it Is inorganic or mineral dust, but my microscope is not powerful enough to determine it- character. It is tict uncommon for a swift wind to carry mineral dust through the air for many miles. The windstorm last night must havo swept over a bare place in the Southwest and lifted the dust over miles of snow covered territory." "I should say this could hardly be the result of a volcanic eruption, said Prof. Ellas Colbert. "Tne very nearest place we have any reason to believe there could be anv volcanic disturbances is the southeastern part of Missouri, right below Cairo. The chances are, if there was any such eruption, we should havo felt. on earthquake shock such as there was on Oct. ZL "The second possible way in which this might havo occurred is that during thj storm there might haye been some phenomenon, akin to that which causes the waterspout on the ocean, licking up a mass of dust from some point not very far distant to be carried In this direction and scattered over us. But we are too far west for the observation of any such phenomenon, "There remains, then, nothing for it but to suppose we have actually had an aerolitlc passage accompanied by or causing a fall of mtteorlc dust. It is barely possible, however, we had actually collided with the head of a comet, not necessarily a big one." "Did you catch any of the snow," Prof. Garriott was asked. "Yes.- I spread out my handkerchief and eoon It was covered. Then I dried it and it was dotted with little blotches of soot and sand. In a case of this kind we cannot do much more than theorize. There are several ways in which such a storm could occur. The commonly accepted Idea, I believe, is that during a snowstorm a brisk wind will arise and blow rfreat masses of dirt, soot and smoke across the city. The result is a combination of snow and dirt, and it all Wlls together. We all know there is very little smoke out in Austin, oak Park and other western suburbs, and yet report from these places how a marked fall of muddy snow. Of course this can b accounted for. The wind shifted a great many times and the clouds of smoke might have been blown in almo3t any direction." Railways Suffering. MARQUETTE, Mich., Feb. 19.-Iteports along railroad lines of the upper peninsula state that great difficulty is experienced in getting trains through. It Is impossible to maintain schedule time. and. as the storm shows no signs of abatement to-day. It is likely railroads wilt be completely blocked. The streets of this city are completely impassable to street cars. The temperature has fallen 20 degrees since the beginning of the storm. , nilcxurds In Michigan. DETROIT, Mich.. Feb. 19. Zero weather and blizzards 2iave prevailed throughout upper and lower Michigan the past twentyfour hours. In tho Western part of the State the snowfall has been tremendous. tnd at some points the dark-colored snow reported from Chicago has been seeen.

Outdoor traltlc in Lake Michigan shore towns was practically suspended today, and sorte factories and schools wre obliged to close. Fears are entertained for the safety of car ferry Ann Arbor No. 1, which left Frankfort la3t night for Kewaunee. Wreck Caused by the Snow. BUFFALO, N. Y., Feb. 19.-By far the worst snow and wind storm this winter raged in this city and throughout Western New York all day and up to a llttlo after 10 o'clock to-night. The railroads suffered severely and trains were late. Ono eerious wreck occurred as a result of" the siorm. on the Lehigh Valley. An engine had been sent out to follow up a snow plow and assist in the work of keeping the track clear, camo into collision with another engine and caboose on a similar mission. Two men were killed. They were William H. Davis and Henry Kearns. Both men were Lehigh brakemen on board the llrst engine. Tho crew of the second engine Jumped in t!me to escape. Reports from Lockport, Dunkirk. Hamburg, Batavia and other points state that the storm 'has been very severe and railway traffic has been Fcriously Impaired. Coldest of the Sensou. ST. LOUIS, Feb. 15. Reports from a number cf cities of cities and towns In Illinois Indicate that the coldest weather of the sewn is prevailing there. The thermometer Targes from z?ro to 12 degrees below, and It I getting colder. A strong wind prevail, and much apprehension is felt for the saftty of stock.
