IIOI.TZMAN BHIMiS HABEAS conns PROCEEDINGS. Action Tnken After SntlafylnK Hint aelf f tl Mnn'R lentnl SimndneNM Other Court Cases. Attorney John W. Iloltzman yesterday filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus In the Circuit Court for the release of William B. Depoy, who was committed to Jail Thursday after an insanity proceeding before Justice Lockman. In which he was declared Insane. The petition says that he is unlawfully restrained, and that he was committed to Jail without any Judgment of conviction or other Judgment. Depoy lives in Irvington. He was arrested Wednesday evening on complaint of his wife, nnd locked up In jail on a charge of being Insane. He fought the officers nnd it took four to place, him behind the baits. After being placed in a, cell the physicians gave him a dose of morphine to quiet him and he soon went to sleep. The next morning he was declared of unsound mind, the nilldavlt stating that he was a cocaine fiend. Thursday evening he sent for Mr. Iloltzman, but did not roach him, and yesterday morning iloltzman went to the Jail to see him. Depoy talk ti in a rational manner, saying he had urgent business that needed his attention and asked his visitor to look after it. Mr. Iloltzman questioned him about a number of business transactions and he talked intelligently about all of them. Desiring to make further Investigation before bringing habeas corpus proceedings he had the parties with whom Depoy had business go to the jail yesterday afternoon and It was amicably settled by Depoy. The petition for his release was then lllen. The statement that Depoy made to Iloltzman was that he had been suffering ui. toothache for some time and used cocaine for relief. He aid the first time he ever used the drug was last Friday. Regarding his arrest ho said he knew nothing abit it and was unconscious at the time. He came to himself Thursday morning and was told why he was in jail, lie accepted the situation philosophically and at once began to plan about his business. It Is said at the jail that he has been very quiet, talks intelligently about all matters and has been given no opiate. When Depoy was arrested he had $120 In his pocket and his wife secured an attachment on the money yesterday in Justice ßmock'n court. 1IKHI COIKT DECISIONS. A Natural Ham Cuse from Blackford County Other Cases. The decision of the Appellate Court yesterday in the appeal of the State against Orville K. Moore from the Blackford Circuit Court will have no effect on Mr. Moore, but possesses interest none the less. Moore cut off the gas from wells on his farm so that it would not flow into the pipes of a company to which he had given a gras lease. His defense was that he believed he was exercising a privilege that belonged to him under the terms of the lease. Judge Robinson, In the opinion of the court, said that the law forbidding tampering with gas pipes was made in tlu exercise of the police power for the control of a dangerous fluid and that cutting off or turning on the gas is h criminal offense, not because of any moral turpitude, but o:i account of public policy. Since Moore was not convicted in the court below, there can be no new trial of his case, but tho decision was sought by the State for use in similar prosecutions. The Supreme Court refused to sustain the State's appeal from a judgment of thi Clay Circuit Court acquitting Albert E. Kirk of a charge of committing forgery on a license issued by the State Medical Board to another physician and afterward replaced by a new license. Kirk was charged with having secured the tirst license and erased the other doctor's name and place of residence therefrom, writing iu lieu thereof bis own name and place of residence. Bowling Green. Kirk an 1 the other physician wore jointly indicted tor the alleged crime, but wnen the latter declined to testify against Kirk, leaving no direct evidence as to when or how the certificate or license was changed, tho lower court directed the jury to return a verdict of not guilty. The Supreme Court said the record was not In shape to present the questions argued by the State, and therefore refused to sustain the appeal. A petition for a rehearing of the Supremo Court's decision reversing Edward B. Towle's Judgment recovered against the mayor and marshal of Hammond for killing a valuable St. Bernard dog owned by him was overruled yesterday. The court thus finally held that a city has authority to provide by ordinance for the killing of ail unmuzzled dogs found running about the streets when the mayor shall have issued a proclamation declaring that there is danger from hydrophobia. I NI Sl'AL COJI PLICATIONS. A Caae Before Judge Leather "Where Lawerw Were Wltneaftea. Judge Leathers yesterday heard a case so complicated that even t lie attorneys themselves at times were at sea when it came to straightening certain matters out. One feature of the case was the fact that the attorneys were the principal witnesses, and exchanged places to be questioned and cros-qucstioncd by each other. The suit is styled Jesse B. McKinney and others against Oscar L. Neisler, i'or commission. The suit is the outgrowth of a real estate deal two years ago. Neisler owned a hotel property in Danville. Ind., which he traded to Fannie Jeftee for a Cass county farm through the agency of McKinney & Marley without going to Fee the land or procuring an abstract. Soon alter the trade Neisler discovered that the farm wns fifty-seven acres short of whai he thought it was. and brought an action In the Danville court to rescind the deed and to reconvcy his property. In the meantime Fannie Jeffee transferred the property to Morris Robinowitz. and ho had sold It to a man named Boatrisht. When Boatright learned that a suit was pending he attempted to compromise, and the McKinney agency was again called on to make a trade. The result was that Nciler again got poseMon of his hotel, an.l Boatright the Cass county farm. McK'nney Ar Marley then ret up a claim for Sioa commission They received J1X) commission for making the original trade, bat on account of the complications Neflcr brought suit against the agents to recover the $100. The court hrld that the agents were innocent of tle conditions at th time the origlnil trade was made. The defendant in the suit now pending claims that there was only a promise to pay $100 to hold the agents to their corr.mllon, and the agents claim that they were to receive an additional for

straightening matters out by negotiating a trade whereby Neiler got his hotel bac after his litfgatlon. and Boatright came into possession of the Cass county farm. 3IK. SCHMIDT SIED A(A 1.

nomti F. Stevrnrt Allege that He One the Comity Ift.'O.tKMi. A suit of the State on the relation of Romus F. Stu.irt and by Stuart as a taxpayer was tiled yesterday against former Ccunty Treasurer William H. Schmidt, his be.-ndsmen, Charles A. Bookwalter and Hunter McCaslin, and the County Commissioners, for 115'Vmm for fees, interest and salary alleged to have been illegally retained by Schmidt during his four years in office.

The agitation for a pavement on Meridian street, north of Fall creek, has at last been settled, and in a manner satisfactory to a majority of the property holders.

A statement was also filed by the committer in which the entrance of the road over Its proposed route was bitterly opposed as increasing the danger to life an 1 limb and further complicating the 'grade crossing question. The committee argued that before the Indianapolis Southern was granted a private right of way into the city it ought to be shown that it is Impossible for the road to enter over the tracks of some other line. It Is nlnted out that If the road cared to enter the city by the latter method there was no doubt that an equitable arrangement could be entered into with the Belt Railroad and thence bv other lines leading Into the heart of tho city. Purk Board Law AhldiiiK. 0 At a meeting of the Tark Board yesterday It was decided, after a long discussion, to conform with the new law and pay unskilled labor employed by the board 20 cents an hour.

Superintendent Power said yesterday afternoon that the men would also be paid the extra amount for the two weeks that have transpired since tiro law went Into effect. W. II. II. Miller' Complaint. W. H. II. Miller yesterday filed a communication with the Board of Works, in which he complained of the wooden block pavement on Delaware street, from St. eclair street to Sixteenth street, and suggested that the board place a thin layer of gravel over its surface.

Cr Tim SUNDAY-SCHOOL LESSON. June t, 11)01 1 Acts xxll, U-lit Jeu Appear lo Paul. "A Journey incomparable!" all must exclaim, whfn th character of the traveler, the objr.t of his expedition, the event which transpired on the way, and the consequences nrar and remote, are considered. Persecution had, an usual, the very opposite effect from the ort desired. It had only fhaken the disciples cut from the center when they could have been mont easily repressed, cr at least kept under fcurvclllan.ee. Now they were scattered abroad "live coals, Moht Incendlarie of the world!" Saul was quickest to appreciate the sitaatlon, and ardent enough to pursue th. refugees even to foreign cities. He would fain strike first the remotest jKtint to which they had flrd; then, working backward toward Jerusalem, reverse the 111 effects cf the carller persecution, rid tho world of this (Jalilean fanaticism, and re-establish the tottering fabric of lie-brew eccleslasticism. The Jewish Church might well congratulate herself In her dire emergency. Saul was a choice instrument in her hand. The rxIedition required physical hardihood. The Cilician enthusiast had it. He was in the "heyday of his young manhood." Mental as well an physical force was demanded by the complicated conditions. And Saul was a born dialectician, better vered In history and dogma of Israel than any. And as to zeal why, he fairly breathed It! Courage? In that he was Invincible. The fame of the persecutor outstripped him on Ms way to Damascus. Only those J?ws rejoiced, however, and those Christians feared, who neglected In their calculations that Invincible factor, the providence of God. If Cardinal Gibbons, without a premonitory act or explanatory attendant circumstance, should, In a day, abjura Romanism, surrender his emoluments present and prospective, the latter Including the papal throne Itself not only that, but on the eaice day become a Methodist saddle-bag Itinerant on a starvation salary, living In a "dus:-out" and preaching In a sod church fuch an hirredlble metamorphosis could not possibly produce a greater sensation than the Instantaneous conversion of St. Paul. Methodism would extend the right hand of fellowship in a tentative fashion to the ex-cardinal, and Rome would gnash on him with her teeth. So Paul got a halfhearted and suspicious reception from the Christian Church, while Judaism followed him with Implacable ma,lice until it gloated over his blood at the Three Fountains. The conversion of Pt. Paul must ever be recorded among the strongest evidences of Christianity. Barrett well says, with the celebrated case of Lord Littleton evidently in view: "Many a reflective mind, hitherto unmoved, has yielded to the power of this page cf the gospel." Paul's self la an irrefutable argument. The logical and judicial mind of tty Pauline Kpistles could not have been Imposed upon by a cunningly-devised fable. ; The man who catalogues his sufferings In II Corinthians xl could have no sinister motive in propagating a lie. The conclusion Is Inevitable; the religion which Taul eppouned In divne. Key and Analysis. I. Journey extraordinary. II. Paul's policy. III. An Ideal Inquisitor. IV. An hypothetical instance. V. Quod erat demonstrandum. THK TEACHER'S LANTERN. Taul was conscientious In his persecution. Ifo verily thought he ought to do what he did. Tint conscientiousness was no Justification. There are consciences and consciences unenlightened, de- J riled and seared, as well as good. If one says hi can do a palpably wrong thing conscientiously, the natural retort Is. "What kind of a conscience have you?" The way Paul was in seemed right to his unenlightened monitor, but the end was none the less death. A conscience illuminated by the Word and cleansed by the Spirit is a safe guide only. In this instance there peems some foundation for Augustine's doctrine of the irresistibility of grace. In spite cf supernatural light, vision of Christ, His worcis, and effect upon the physical sensex, yet there remained an "ultimate element of self-hood" that might have asserted itself In a contrary manner. The Inference Is plain from Taul's subsequent language that he might have been disobedient to the heavenly vision, if he had wanted to. And If grace was not Irresistible in this instance, it Is not in any. Haul's blindness was not punitive. It was a disguised mercy Insuring seclusion. The ist scene was not dissolved by the intrusion of new objects. Completest concentration of thought was made possible. The utility of prayer. Had Paul not prayed, Ananias had not come. Paul a sh'jwn how great things he must suffer. As in a panorama, the whule dread scene passed before his mind's eye stripes, rods, shipwreck, perils, weariness, palnfulness. watchings, hunger, thirst, fastings, cold and nakedness. The dauntless courage, and complete devotion of Paul is evident from the fact that, though revealed before, none of these things moved him. The imperative and universal obligation of baptism. Though he had seen the Lord, been railed by Him directly to the apostolate. and filled with the Holy Ghost, yet Paul must needs submit to the significant Inductive rite of the churih.

Its couolns and its aunts" mer.ly to leave it alone. And I know another family whose delight Is in the. family tre to Ita vaguest blanches and most remote twigs, a family wherein a fifth cousin is most welcome, whila a "first cousin once removed" is cause for a month's rejoicing. These two families are tyjc of two different ways of regarding Christ. On. is abstract, philosophical, matter of fact; th. other is intimate, personal, loving. Tfct TltH Heaks of his "dispc nsation," tb. second speks of his "family." There i. no doubt which of these ways of looking at the matter is most Christian. The Blbl. delights in picturing Christ as our Elder Brother, In painting the warm rooms of Our Pother's, houi-e. in representing us as sons of God. Tber. is much talk about a kingdom, to be sure, but this kingdom of God Is within us. not coldly exterior. Our Father would have us at home with Him. No one can make- any study of other religion, wjthout seeing how foreign this thought la to all of them. Their God Is on top of Olymrus, r II. is in Nirvana, or He is up in the inaccessible sky. It He comes among men, it is only as surprise and a portetiL The family hearth, th. Father's knee and open arms, the household atmosphereyou may search all religions but Christianity, and you will never find them. Hut do Christians always find them? Alas, no! Por OVre 1 a pagan way of taklr.j Christianity, as wll as a i-agan way cf taking Everything else. It is easy to think' of God as afar off, to forget Ills omnipresence, to forget that lie 1 acquainted with all our ways, to disregard Christ' revelation of the Father as entering" our Nazareth woakhop. and our Jericho dining room and our licthany kitchens. And It avails little to have the Christian conception cf a Idling, forgiving e;od if we are going to tluut Him off on top cf a snowy Olympus. How to e-nter Christ's family, then? The way la very simple.. It is to get clone to God, Christ did. It is to sfek above rj thing .!. to know God's will. Knowing it. It Is to stele above everything else to do It. Doing it. it is to become acquainted with God and a friend of Christ. In tender phrase our belned W'hlttier has depicted the beautiful relatiorshlp w. tfc.a enter: "We may not climb the heaven y steeps To btlng the lxrd Christ down; In vain we searih the lowest Vcps, For Him no depths can druwu.
