The electric light is now in successful operation in the Union depot. The depot authorities ay that the cost of lighting by electricity will be about $00 less than gas costs. The new light is gaining favor with our citizens, and the Brush company will, no doubt, le given a fair show in the matter of lighting the city. A certain young lady in the north end is in receipt of a letter signed from an unknown friend, and she wishes that friend to remain unknown and hopes that sometime in the future he or she will learn sense enough to attend to their own aflars ami to let others alone. The writing was recognized and the next time the name will appear in full. Simpson's Chajtel Sunday school board held their election Friday last, and elected the following officers : J. T.

Indianapolis is comparatively free from small-pox, there having been but two or three imported casts and those of a very mild type The Board of Health is taking every precaution to prevent the spread of this terrible epidemic. They have recently issued an order to the efTeot that all ersons in the city be vaccinated within sixty days. Parents should see to it that their children are vaccinated immediately. It is stated on good authority that one of the male teachers in the public schools, is going around among the pupils of another teacher, trying to poison their minds against their teacher because she was so awfully! awful wicked as to let her pupils dance at a little clas party, which she gave at her residence. Such contemptible meanness can come only from a very narrowly contracted mind, and should be rebuked by loth the school authorities and parents. The aforehaid teacher would probably prefer to see his pupils proficient- in the art of lying and deceitful ss. 3Inrllr Yard.

In making my debut before the reading public, I wish it understood that nothing which shall in future be said in this column, will Ik? said in malice, or in a manner that will in any way compromise the dignity of the writer or the person written almtit. If through the courtesy of the proprietors of the Leader, my request for the privilige of conducting a column in their valuable journal was granted, and my aim shall be to promote the interest of all parties concerned. Drief communications from all parts of the city, relative to the ladies, will be very ac ceptable. Several communications are omit ted thi week, owing to their length. Cor respondent will address "Ouida," Leader office. Luetta is sad since he went awav. .Miss IIorten.se Lee will soon return to her home in Lexington, Ky. Maudie has again assumed her wonted brilliancy and gayety. It is hoped that he will never go away again. It is conceded by all that Miss Anna Spaulding was the handsomest dressed lady at the Golden Kule banquet. The many friends of Mrs. Fleming Wilson will be pleased to learn that she is again able to be out, after a narrow escajie from Typhoid fever. Mrs. Eliza JohnsoD, who has been making her home in Springfield, 111., for some time is in the city on a short visit to relatives and friends. Miss Lizzie Snell entertained a number of her friends at her residence on north Tennessee street Monday evening. A very pleasant time was had. The little Misses at the open house, at Unchurch, tieemed to receive more attention than the young ladies. We "big uns" do'nt ixactly understand this. As there are so many intelligent and handsome young ladies in the Xorth-east portion of the city, "Ouida" would be pleased to have a correspondent from that quarter. Miss Eunice Moore, and Miss Maria White of the North end, have made quite an impression on some of our young men, and they seem to have entirely forgotten their former acquaintances. It has come to the ears of "Ouida," that certain young men have for the past two weeks been discussing the question as to which of the young ladies who proided over the parlors at the erruont Street chusch on the evening of the 2nd inst. made the best appearance. We shall, probablv, be able to announce the result of their deliberations in our next letter. Wednesday being the sixth anniversary of a very imjiortant event in the life of little Miss Lucy Thompson, she invited a number of her little friends to her residence and celebrated the day in a befitting manner.

AX ASSASSIN'S WORK,

A Wealthy Farmer Fatally Shot in Iiis Own House. irrest of the Murderer and Ills Two Accomplices, One of Which Attempts Suicide. The Murdered Man's Wife Implicated in the Foul Plot Confession and Full Details of the Tragedy. Iii dlinaj ritt Sertiaell St. Paul, Ind., Jan. 10. The fact of the assassination o! John M. Walton, a prominent and wealthy farmer living about one and a hall miles from this place, was telegraphed the Seutlnel last night, hut the detail were so racagre that only tbe bare fact that a terrible crime had been committed could be telegraphed. It nopears that Waltou'h wife and O. M. Garrett have been very intimate for several years, which fact has caused a good deal of trouble between Walton and his wife, she having Informed him on several occasions she would do just as fhe pleased. THE ASSASSINATION. About 6 o'clocU lat night, while Walton was slttlog near a window of his residence, some one fired a shot, the balls striking him in the head. Inflicting fatal wounds. One of Mr. Vlton's sons brought the word to St. Paul, and Dr. F. M. Howard was at once sent to the sjene of the tragedy, uron arrival there, declared his belief that a negro by the name of Aaron Fraer had committed the deed, basing his suspicion on the fact that he hud heard O. M. Garrett. the person meutioued above, trying to hire Fraer to do the deed. The wadding from the gun bad enteren the window along with the charge of shot, and was picked up by the Doctor, who placed i in his rocket and accomja led a (arty of meu who started out to arrest Frazer, fr ring that ne would not comeback. He was found on the road, and after being taken into custody was seen to throw away some thing, which was found to be a box of caps. On arriving at this place he was taken to 'Square Fugit's office vud searched. Ou him were found some papers, one of them being a Sunday-school paper, from which a piece had been torn, and the miwiru piece was the wad in the gun, which fitted in tne torn place exactly. Ou being shown this he broke completely down and confessed In the presence of tbe Sentinel re porter his complici.y in the crime. ITis story is as follow: THE CONFESSION. I live in fct. Omer, Decatur County, about onebslf mile from where Mr. Walton resides. I persuaded to commit the crime bv O. M Garrett, who told me thai Walton was in bis way, und that if 1 would Kill mm ne wouu give me a large sum. The last time I saw Garrett wan In St. Paul on last Sunday afternoon. On Monday I eat dinner with Val entine Hess, aud Irom him 1 obtained the gun, an army musket. I was out huutlng with Mr. Hem' son most of the afternoon, and aloi g toward eveuin we went to St. Omer, where i eat mypupperat home, and shortly after left for Mr Walton a house, arriving there between ft and 7 o'clock p. m. I saw Mr. Walton sitting In a chair by the front window, and I walked up until I was about fifteen feet from where he was sitting and fired at his bead. I then left for borne and concealed my gun in the barn where I kept my team. THE A BREST OF GARRETT. After Frazar madehia statement a party Immediately Rtarted for Garrett's house, where they effected his arrest and brought him to 'Squire Fugit's office, In this place. Garrett is a little below the medium height, about frty years old, with black hair, piercing black eyes and black mustache and whiskers. lie has the name of being a bad man. and would not hesitate to use the revolver, which he always has in his possession. ATTEMPTS SClCinE. After sitting a few moments In 'Squire Fugit's oflice, he asked to be allowed to go out for a short time, and was permitted to depart with an otlicer. Tbcy went to Hoover's saloon and out the side door Into a little passageway, where coal aud wood Is kept, and a moment afterward he drew his revolver, which as yet had not been taken from him, and shot himself twice in the head. Inflicting wounds, from which he can not possibly recover. After being property cared for he made the following affidavit before the Prosecuting Attorney: UARRETT'B ASTI-MORTEM STATEMENT. Aaron Frazer told me that some one wanted him to kill Walton. lid not say who wanted him to kill him. I told him not to kill him. I had no Idea that he would. I never hired him or offered him anything to kill Walton. Ellen Walton said that she would make me sorry for not letting her fee a letter which I had, before six days. That was on yesterdi t evening before the shooting, fche (Ellen Walton) talked about this a month ago. she said that she would have to have something done; that she eiuld not live this kind of life much longer. She said she did not have to have anything done ou my account; that Walton kicked and cuffed her, choked her and threatened to shoot her, and drew his knife and threatened to cut her throat time and again. She told me that Walton slapped her oil" the chair aud theu kicked her the evening after 1 saw him in Henry Hoover's saloon, when Doyle was present. I never wronged John Wal 'on or any other man lu my life. While I waa at Walton's yesterday evening twenty minutes before t o'clock she said. "Give me that letter, you villain. I could kill you!" I handed her the pistol and told her to kill me. She said. "1 will if you will go down the road." Then some school children came along on their way home. ARREST OF MRS. WALTON. Mrs. Walton, the wife of the man whose life was attempted, was placed under arrest late this afternoon, having, it Is alleged, been instrumental in hiring the negTO to assassinate her hunband In fact, it is thought that she was to furnish the money to be paid Frazer for committing the hellish crime. In an interview with Mrs. Walton to-night she denied having anything to do with the assassination, and asserts Bhe never had any connection with the negro Frazer, directly or Indirectly. She claims the is the victim of unfortunate circumstances, and what now looks as bad evidence for her will eventually be cleared away. Frazer wag taken to Jail at Greenburg this evening. AN EXCITEE IOPULACE. Later Great excitement prevails at St. Paul tonight, and talks of Judge Lynch taking the case In band are heard on all sides. The physicians say that Garrett will recover, although not able to bo removed yet. The house of John M. Walton and the vicinity ha been the scene in the last few years of several tragic circumstonees. Dol Arnold, brother of Mrs. Walton, was :hot by her paramour, Gar rett. In sight of the house, about two years ago. Five years ago. the attempt was made to force Absalom Slifer to confess where he had his money concealed; this also occurred in St. Omer, in sight of the house. Two or three years ago one' of Mr. Walton's sons sho. and killed a man, for which he was discharged, and recently he fired two or three shots at his father, which fortunately did not take effect. About two or three weeks T ago Mary French, a domestic In Mr. Walton's family, was found burned to a crisp, lying In the front door of the house, no one ehe being at home at the time. and no comes the crowning tragedy, which has already been related. Another Account. Sheibyvillk, Ind., Jan. 12 John M. Walton died this morning from the wounds received at the hands of the negro assassin, Aaron Frazer. His remains will be taken to Anderson's Ferry, near Cincinnati for interment. Mrs. Walton left her home to-day, and has not jet been found, although diligent search haa been made. A hört time before 6he left, in a conversation with a reporter, she declared that she had had nothing to do with employing Frazer to kill her husband. Mrs. Walton was at liberty under a bond of $5,000. The Sentinel scribe visited Frazer at the Jail tonight. He sara that tbe statements made bv him heretofore are all true, and that he Is determined to tUnd by them InCouit When asked about Mrs. Walton'a having Instigated the assassination, he aaia that she never spoke to him aoout it, although Garrett had given him to understand that she waa to furnish the money be waa promised for committing the

He is married and has five children. When asked whether he had ever seen Mrs. Walton and Garrett together, he replied: "Yes, I saw them together alont two years ago in a blackberry patch, and they were at tnat time having criminal intercourse"." "Would yon be alraid to go back to St. Faul again?" Frazer was asked. "Yes; I do uot waut to bo taken there, for they will hang me, sure." He expressed great regret at having committed the crime, and hoped the Lord would forgive him. G-nett was brought to Greensburgto-nihtand placed in Jail. He wts brought on a couch and carried from the depot to tne Jail by six men. Upon arrival there he was asked how he felt, and said: "Mv stomach and my head twin me so that I would like to be dead." His wifo and daughter also came u 1th him. They Oo not seem to eriete mucn over the matter. A rumor got out this afternoon that Mrs. Johua Arnold, tne mother of Mr. Walton, had attempted suicide Yonr correspondent vMted the parties aud found that Mrx. Arnold had simply picked up a knife mid the folks thought she intended to take her life. i fie physicians informed the Jailer, to-night, tbat Garrett would recover beyond all doubt, although he will be quite weak for some time. The leports heretofore hent out, stating that Judge Lynch would, no doubt, take, this matter in charge, are entirelv false. The people are willing for them to have a 'fair trial. The sncrilT of Decatur County to-night issued the following: "Murder: Mrs Ellen Walton, implicated in the murder ol her husband near tft.

The Second (Irand Reception given by the "Knightsof the Oolden Cross," at the residence of Miss Fannie Fleming, last Thursday evening. was a brilliant success in every particular.

I Boston Herald. 1 When Burns so deftly wove these lines into his address to a mouse, he was only re peating the old story of the condensed ex istence of the race. Disappointments will come,' and are hard to be borne in any shape, but when sickness is the cause the inconvenience entailed is a source of social annoyance, these thoughts were induced by hearing of the postponement of Dr. H.'s trip to Florida, this winter, on account of a severe attack of sciatica. We felt sorry for the Doctor, for we knew that his heart had been long set on a winter trip and sojourn in that sunny Southern land, and to have all his anticipations of pleasure thus cruelly "nipped in the bud," it was indeed a blow. However, we know what will cure the Doctor, and venture to suggest it through the professional opinion and indorsement of a physician widely known and eminently successful, Dr. Lorenzo Waite, of Pittsfield, iiass., who writes: "lhis certifies that during the past year I was called to treat a severe case of sciatica, that had been for a long time under the care of two eminent physicians, and who were unable to afford any relief. After a continued use of the varioas remedies that had previously, during many years of practice, never failed in similar cases to accomplish the desired result, I was on the point of abandoning the case as incurable. At this time, although having but little taith in any benefit that might result, I was induced to try St. Jacob's Oil. After using one bottle according to directions, I found mv patient much improved, and the use of the second bottle effected a complete cure." Characteristics ol a Lara 8tream. f Popular Science Monthly. The surface of fluid and semi-fluid la vas is covered with vast quantities of froth or foam which has been generated by the action of the escaping steam. If the lava, cousists of a mass of crystals floating in a liquid magma, this froth cools into the rough, cindery-loolc-ing material which is called scoria. If the lava is glassy it becomes pumice, a mass of

minute glass bubbles drawn ont in one di-

Fragments of scoria and puiuice are often thrown by a violent escape of steam to a height of hundreds or thousands of feet into the atmosphere. While going up and coming down the encounter each other and wear each other away by their frequent rubbing, with a noise which is one of tlie most noteworthy accompaniments of volcanic eruptions. Mr. Poulett Scrope. who watched the Vesuvian eruption of 1822 for nearly a month, remarks that at first fragments of enormous size wert thrown out, but that they were gradually reduced by constant re-ejections, till at last only the most impalpable dust issued from the vent a dust which was so excessively finely divided that it went everywhere, even into the most closely fastened boxes. Mr. Whyrnper estimates that no less than 2,000j000 tons of dust must have been ejected during a single slight outburst of Cotopaxi which he witnessed; and Professor Uonney calculates from actual examination that "it would take from 4.000 to 29.000 particles cf this amedust to make up a grain in weight. The temperature fand consistency of lava streams vary greatly, and the variations give rise to differences in the appearance of the cooled mas'. The surface of the stream cik)1s rapidly in the air, so that it appears dull-red at night and black by day like a great mass of rough cinders while all is of a white heat beneath, and may be so seen at night shining through the rough cindery masses. Some streams are verj' liquid, resembling rivers, and filling every channel in their course; while other, cooler and stiller, might be more fitly compared to glaciers creeping along so slowly that the fact of their movement can be established onlv bv the most careful observation. The stiff lavas leave a crust wrinkled and folded like coils of rope, and are then frequently called "ropy lavas." The very liquid, fast-tlowing lavas leave a surface covered with rough, cindery masses presenting jigged projections. An Improvement lu Science Teaching;. Miss Eliza A. Howen, in Popular Science Monthly for January. I I have for many years been interested in trying to introduce scientific teaching into girls' schools; and I propose to tell the re ult of some experiences in teaching astronomy. Of course, the astronomy taught has been of the most elementary character. Iut it is therefore the exactly foundation which it is important to lay well My object has been to gain for my pupils from this study, not merely knowledge, but ail the mental discipline it could alf-rd. In order to accomplish this I have made it an invariable principle to make them do all the observing, all the thinking possible. They have watched the heavenly bodies to discover their appearance and motions, and then I led them o i to discuss the causes. It has been genuine inductive study, so far as it has gone. My own work seemed very simple, but it occasioned me a great deal of observation, thought and study. I have simply kept them on the track. It may at first seem a little absurd to talk of a set of school-giris treading, with any degrie of mental independence, the path which Kepler and Tycho llrahe found it so difficult to walk in. Of course, it would be utter nonsense to say that they could exercise anything like tlie mental activity of those great men. But there are various de grces of the mind's activity, and it is possible to arouse, even in school-girls, a very wholesome and improving amount of it. When I first began I merely intended to make some girls of seventeen years old, who were soon to study Lockyer's "Astronomy," do some preparatory observirg. I soon saw that it would have been desirable to begin earlier, and in the room in which I talked to th'se young ladies there were seated at desks some young girls of thirteen and fourteen years old, who listened to my talk and directions with great interest, and, as I soon found, were observing and thinking with as much energy as their older companions. It became out of the question to refuse instruction to those who showed themselves so capable of learning. All the work of which I am about to tell was well performed by girls of fourteen years old. A Victim of a Practical Joke. Iondon Truth. Another victim to the reprehensible practice of practical joking has paid for his credulity with his life. The other day as the French bark Felix was approaching the port of Marseilles under easy sail, a negro belonging to the crew suddenly clambered upon the bulwarks and plunged into the sea; Although the vessel was promptly hove to, and a boat put out in search of tne unfortunate man, who was known to be a powerful swimmer, all efforts made to rescue him from a watery grave proved fruitless. Inquiry among the crew respecting the probable suicide resulted in the following painful revelation. He had shipped in the Felix at Mozambique, as an able staruan, and las shipmates, learning from his own mouth that he had never before made a voyage to Trance, agreed to persuade him that human tlesh,of the negro variety, is so highly relished as a dietetic luxury by wealthy Frenchmen of the present day that he could not fail, upon arriving at Marseilles, to be roasted and eaten. Their plot proved only too successful. The conviciion that he was destined to figure as a comestible at some fashionable Marseilles restaurant undermined his spirit and preyed upon his mind to such an extent that he at last resolved to die by his own act rather than encounter the dismal fate awaiting him in iMirt. This determination, it appears, he I made known to the authors of the hoax, but thesa inveterate humorists nevertheless kept up their jest until the Felix sighted Marseilles, when the wretched negro, believing himself irrevocably doomed to sutler death by the butcher's knife within a few hours, drowned himself in the manner above related. It is satisfactory to know that his tormentors are in Prison and likely to pay dearly for their barbarous joke. Christmas 0:1 Sunday. There was in old England a weather prophet, some of whose prognostications are among the llarleian manuscripts in the British Museum. His prophecies wer oa f greater scope than those of Vennor and Devoe, both in the periods thejr covered and the 8ubject they treated; but it may be a source of pain to our prophets to learn that his name has not endured with his werks. Here is his conjecture about a year like the next twelve-month, in the beginning of which Christmas falls Uon a Sunday: Lordinges, 1 warne you al beforne, Yif that day that Cryste was borne Falle uppon a Sunday That Wiuter shall oe good parlay But grete windes aloft shalbe The Corner shalbe fayre and drye. By kynde skyllc, wythouten lesse. Throw all lotidcs shalbe peas. And good tyme all thyngs to don. But he that stealeth he shalbe fowade sone. What chylde that day borne be A great lord he shalbe.
