It was a. stench in the nostrils of civilization, and he defied any man to dispute it. "I dispute it," cried Mr. Grout, who proceeded, rather sarcastically, to remark that the Judges of the Supreme Court of Vermont were elected annually, aral if their decisions had "stunk In the nostrils of civilization" the judges would not nave been re-elected. He characterized Mr. Barrett's statements as a remarkable attack, and expressed the opinion that it was not proper for a member to impute dishonest and dishonorable motives to a judicial tribunal.

D, Moffett by his enemies that it is time the truth should bo slated to the public. During Mr. Molfet's lirst year In Lecutur he incurred the en mlty of a few people by correcting their unruly sons. These enemies, assisted by an ever-Increasing class of soreheads who have failed to get schools, or who have some fancied personal grievance, have pur sued him ever since with a determined pur pose of revenge. Notwithstanding the fact that the schools have attained a high standard and are conceded by all to be at present in excellent condition, yet this cabal, like certain noted historical toncniritnr "wiitplifd him to catch him in his words or acts." Had he ben living a . m . . nr.. ...

Finally charg.-s of immoral conduct were brought against Mr. Moffett and an Investigation was demanded. In the Investigation not one witness was found who could point to an immoral word or deed of the accused, but the board, basing their action, they say, upon the "convincing testimony" of Mr. M., viz.. that, being guided by his own pure motives, he did not care for the criticisms of school Klrls, rendered a decision against him, which decision is unjust and illegal and cannot stand.

This policy I have pursued to the end, and because tho people were in favor of the bill I signed it. Of 4ho merits in argument made against tho glove-contest bill 1 have nothing to say.

UNIVERSITY BLOCKADED

BIG I.XSTITITIOX AT ATHENS SURROUNDED DV SOLDIERS. Dismissal of n Professor Demanded by Student Serious Riot Case of Col. Ceell Rhodes. LOXDOX, Jan. CO. A dispatch to the Telegraph from Athens says that trouble has been brewing at the university for sev eral days past, owing to a quarrel between ho students and Prof. Galvelanl. The stu dents finally armed then.selves and took possession of the premises, remaining there for three days and nights. Yesterday (Friday) tho Grecian government decided to close the university. A line of troops was accordinly thrown around the buildings and the water supply was cut off. It was estimated that fully eight hundred students remained within the walls of the univer sity. Those within tho buildings were al lowed to leavo at any time, but admission was absolutely refused by the troops to all persons. A demonstration by the students who remained on tho streets was accordingy planned. Processions of students at tempted to reach the palace for the purpose of demanding from the King the dismissal of Professor Galvelanl.

Parliamentary Committee AVII1 Inqntre Into the Trnnivnnl Itnld. LONDON, Jan. 20.-In the House of Com mons, to-day, James M. MaeLean, Conservative, representing the district of Car diff, withdrew his amendment to Mr. Cham berlain's motion of yesterday for the re appointment of a parliamentary committee to inquire into the administration of South Africa, and, incidentally, into the Transvaal raid. Mr. MacLean's amendment re cited that in view of the peaceful settle ment of the South African question and the punishment of the, Transvaal raiders, it would be inexpedient to reopen the matter, and that thero was no necessity to reap point the committee. He urged that the great public service of Col. Cecil Rhodes and the fact thxt he "succeeded in pre venting the compact between the Trans vaal and Germany from becoming a settled fact. absolved Colonel Rhodes from all blame. This amendment was withdrawn to-day after Mr. Chamberlain had made a state ment in which he declared that the situa tion in South Africa had undoubtedly be come most critical during the last few months. There had been, he explained, a recrudescence of unrest. Recent legisla tion of the Transvaal was partly contrary to the convention of London, and President Kruger had not kept his promise to give full and favorable consideration of the grievances of the population. Continuing. Mr. Chamberlain said that he did not blame President Kruper personally: he only wlshed the President's hands to be strengthened in his policy. The chartered company, he added, had no reason to fear an inquiry, and he believed the company would be able to show a good case. Mr. Chamberlain then remarked: "An inquiry into the origin of the raid will be a sham unless It carefully inquired into the uitlanders grievances, and this opens up pit falls of difficulties. Xevertheless. the government will press the reappointment of a committee, with an increase of its number to seventeen, in order to enable Irish mem bers to be represented. Renlvintr to Sir Geortro Raden-Powell. member for the Kirkdale division of Liver pool, Mr. Chamberlain confirmed the report that the premier of Cape Colony, in com mon with all the other colonial premiers throughout the Rritish empire, had been Invited to visit the Queen on the occasion of her diamond jubilee. Mr. Chamberlain added that the premiers of Canada. Cape Colony and Xatal had already accepted. In each case the wife of the premier, his personal staff and a detachment of troops from tho colony he represents are Included in the invitation. . The president of the board of trade, C. T. Ritchie, replying in the House of Commons to a ciuestion reRardinjr the regula tions of the Washington conference for preventing collisions at sea. said they had been submitted to all the powers represented, and that all had agreed to them with the exception of Venezuela, which had not replied. Mr. Ritchie added that he was awaro of the opposition to som features of these regulations; but. in view of the exhaustive discussion .and consideration of the matter, the government was not prepared to depart in any way from the position taken up by the powers.

The larmers of Indiana lost last year more than $50,000,013 in the shrinkage of the price of corn, wheat and oats over their value in 1SS2. It would therefore seem that the time has come for the average Hoosier to wake up and begin to turn his attention to more profitable farming. In his article Judge Martlndale brings before the farmers of Indiana the most expedient way to remedy a great evil. I believe that Congress should be asked to make appropriations for the purpose of helping the people erect sugar factories so that we might manufacture our own sugar and thereby save the greatest amount of money to our own people. We have been trying the ex periment or raising sugar beets in Henry county, and find the Blue river valley country well adapted to their production. rom an analysis made by the united States Department of Agriculture on Nov. 12. 1S92. from beets raised on Mr. A. D. Ogborn's farm near Xew Castle, 1 find tha lunuvwufc ifsuus. aneiy, itieiii aiii.ivbener; average weight of beets, ten ounces: per cent, of sugar. 14.96: yield, tons per acre. 16.333; coeftecient of purity, 75.2; esti mated yield of sugar per acre Irom a crop of sixteen tons. 3.141 pounds. it is a big undertaking to manuracture the sugar consumed in this country. It would probably take six hundred factories running 150 days each year, manufacturing fifty thousand pounds per day each to supply tho demand, but it can be done, and would be the greatest money saving indus try to our people that could ever be established. It is hard to get the farmers to take hold of an industry of this kind, and ean only be done by a great deal of agita tion upon the part of all the people, but why should not the American people, with the garden spot of the world for soil, stand beside such nations as France. Germany and Austria in the production of this great necessity? I am glad to see Judge Martlndale take an interest in this question, and 1 believe if he will devote his time and energy to this subject it will eventually be a great success and he will be entitled to the credit for having brought about the greatest beneficial revolution to our people of modern times. Judge Martlndale was born and reared In Henry county, and if he will observe carefully the above analysis he will see that the question of profitable production of sugar beets is well Fettled, at least, so far as his native County is con cerned. I have talked to a great many of our farmers on this subject, and they seem to be ready and willing to take hold of the growing of the sugar beets. What we now need is a factory. W e have enough rich land in the Rlue river valley to crow suffi cient beets to operate a factory at New Castle. The question Is how to get the factory. I would like to hear through tho columns of the Journal this question more fully discussed and would like to see Purdue University turn its attention largely to this question and have the loctl press throughout the State thoroughly discuss and ad vertise this great question and finally bring about such good results as may nave to our people annually the enormous amount of money sent abroad for sugar.

Arthur Palmer, the murderer of his mother, brother and sister at Mamaroneck. N. Y., is still here awaiting officers from the Kast to ake him back to the hceno of his crime. When seen at the Four Courts by a reporter to-day, Palmer begged that the knowledge of his arrest be kept from his wife. "It was on my wie's account," he said, "that the killing took place. I married her live years ago and my people were opposed to the marriage. They treated her shamefully and finally drove her from home. We had a little boy. but he di?d. Had my people treated my wife as they should they would be alive to-day." While Palmer was talking. the tears flowed from his eyes and he wept like a child.

THE INDIANA OIL FIELD

XEW YEAR STARTS WITH ACTIVE OPERATIONS IX THE STATE. Late XltroRlyeerin Accident It eon 1 In 3Iyterl'K Cae That Happened f In Former Years. Special to the InlUnapoliJ Journal. MONTPELIER. Ind.. Jan. .-9. -Operations in the Indiana oil and 41? lie-Ids make a good showing for the month of January, regardless of the fact that it is the tirst month of the year, and a very had one for operations. During January there were eighty-five wells finished in the various fields of the State. Of this number there were twenty-one that were worthless for oil. but a majority of them are valuable for gas, as a great many are located in the gas area and were drilled for that purpose alone. The producing wells have a dally output of 1,413 bamis, or a daily average per well of 23 barrels. This shows a de crease from tho December report l only 12 barrels and 143 barrels production. One good feature of the report is that 22 less worthless wells were completed, which alone is a big item to the trade. Many are of the opinion that the decrease in the price of the product will stagnate the future operations, but this is hardly possible. There are 73 new wells under way and 42 rigs up in readiness for the drill. This Is a decrease In new work of only IS from the December report. The present cold snap will decrease tho daily runs considerable, as many of the lines will freeze up. The Cudahy line so far has done but little service in this field, and what it will do toward the welfare of the field still remains to be seen. So far the line has been a detriment to the operators, as many are of tho opinion that the present price of tho crude is mostly due to the building of this lino instead of the overconsumption of the crude product. The biff concern is after something, without a doubt. In the Ohio field at one time an oil line was built by a refining company, and the price of tho product dropped off gradually, as at tho present time. Oil for fuel went way down, nnd the new concern closed contracts for fuel oil at a low figure. As soon as this occurred the price of the crude product advanced to fcuch a figure that the smaller concern lost heavily on its contracts. This is, in all probability, the cause of the present decline in prices. The Standard Oil Company is in power and controls tho oil markets, and will, as long as oil Is found in paying quantities, unless all the producers would combine in one bodir and erect their own lines and refineries, but it would take a great many years to accomplish this. This was attempted in the Eastern fields, but proved a failure, as but very few of the operators would combine against tho Standard. There seems to be a regular epidemic of glycerin accidents this winter In different fields, and Indiana comes in for her share. What came near being the most disastrous one of them all occurred a few days ago in shooting the Success Oil Company's No. 3 well, on the W. A. Dawiey farm, in Nottingham towiiship. Wells countv. The firing head shell exploded when .about 125 feet below the surface. The casing from that depth was blown out and mashed up things generally. No ono of a largo crowd standing about was hurt. A piece of the easing tell near the shooter's wagon, containing ten quarts of the dreadful nitroglycerin. Had the flying debris struck the wagon no ono would have remained to tell tho story. F. E. Garth walte, of the Empire Glycerin Company, was doing the shooting. No one can tell what caused the premature explosion. But one instance of the kind Is recorded in the Trenton rock fields, and that occurred during the year of IHJl, a couple of. miles north from the hamlet of Prairie Depot. Wood county, Ohio. The well was being shot with a hundred quarts of the explosive. There were sixty quarts of the explosive sitting on the Moor, and the shooter was lowering a shell in the well, which acted badly. Somewhere close to half a hundred peoplo were at the well to see it shot. Mr. George A. Whitney, jr., the then oil scout, was standing in the derrick door, and, noticing the action of the lino upon which the shell was hooked, hallooed to the crowd to get out, as the well acted as If It would flow. People flew in all directions, scared out of their wits. The well did flow and threw the shell near the top of the derrick, breaking into three pieces. One of the pieces of shell fell on to the floor close to the cans which contained the eighty quarts and the other two pieces fell outside the derrick. There was no explosion and the reason can never be explained. The report for January shows that the decrease in work is due to tho fact that there are less pas wells being: completed in the miscellaneous counties. The six oilproducing counties of the State hold their own pretty well, considering the season of the year. Some prominent test wells are under way In Huntington county, and If they prove productive it will increase the operations in that end of the field. Jay county will be moro thoroughly drilled the present seascn than it has for any season since oil was first struck there, or since the great boom of the Harris pool and tho prreat Camden field. Activity will be renewed in the spring in the Twin Hills district, as well as the drilling of a great number of test wells near the town of Berne. Randolph county will also be tested by a new organization of farmers. Some of the operators in the field are contemplating the inauguration of the eight-hour tour on drilling wells, but the outlook is not very bright for a change. There is some talk of the organization of an oil men's association here, but the Western Oil Men's Association covers the ground. An attempt will be made by the association to have the tax on oilwell appliances cut down on a basis with the tax paid in other oil-producing States.

To the Kditor of the lnliar..pnH" Journal: I, for one, heartily indorse Rev. W. S. Rainsford's critlci?ms on Mrs. RradhyMartln's hall. Xo one questions Iit legal right to spend money In any way that does not conflict with the rights of others, but the Ixst way of spending largo sums of money Involves many nice questions In ethics. One Indianapolis lady thinks it ij better to spend the money in giving hr friends pleasure than to give it to the poor. Now, granted (hat it is right and proper to give pleasure where possible, might it not give greater and more lasting pleasure to expend a quarter of a million dollars for destitute or struggling people because ono thought enough ot them to give them a good time than for on" night's revel for thoe friend who already have many luxuries and pleasures? It is to be hoped that while the people interested' In that grand baP study history in order to correct I y fashion their fancy dresses that they wiil be led to ponder long and seriously th causes of the French revolution and tht all women who are interesting themselves In questions relating to duty, civil government and, shall I add woman's rights, may learn to be righteous first, generous, if possible, but never wasteful. How I should enjoy my Journal Feb. 11 if some such startling headline as this met my eyes: "Mrs. Ilradley-Martln and committee comi'-osM of the moneyed citizens of New York entertained the poor at the Waldorf lust nlt-'lit:" useful urnl besiutlful presents were distributed. The ti.kcts of admission to spectators were $1 each, and thU fund will 1h Invested for the benefit of the widowed washerwomen who have small children to support," etc. Possesion of money, especially by women.
