THE INDIANA BTATE SENTINEL5 WEDNESDAY JCJKE 15 1Ö87.

AT A JUSTICE'S BAR.

Cif3 D jpcsel of it to Astasiiitt Rits of Sixty ts the Hour. A Glimpse cf Few York Police Court UeUioda till the Tombs Interior. A Beautiful isi Hodest Ciirity Candae'.ei by tfcs Porte Lodgs Society. Providence. It. I., Manufacture A Joke on "Oodju,,-A Man Who Had Cor responded With the Vassar Girls. New York, June 11. The "Little Judge," Patrick 0. Duffy, is a Justice of the Feace, and of the iolice and coram, and, for that matter, ad valorem, too. I know of eo other of the eight Police Justices we Lave in this city who weighs justice with better or quicker comprehension of its value than the "Ltttle Judge." His rate of dispensing justice is about sixty case3 to the hour, or about one a minute. Justice is not leaden-heeled with him, nor halt, nor blind. I think occasionally he looks with only half an eye at some of the cases of frail and erring and besotted humanity whrich daily passes in review before him, but it is because the rest of hi3 two optica had long since been opened by experience with former procesiions of "drunks and disorderlies." I haven't the slightest doubt that many persona brought before our P lice Justices are affected by the judicial recollection of other similar incorrigibles previously punished ; but, as a rule, I am satisfied, by personal observation, that ninety-nine out of every 100 persons who are brought before Daffy get their deserts, and the 100th escapes with less whipping than he deserves. It is a brief aad summary method the "Little Judge" and his colleagues have of trying ccmplaint3 which involve the liberties and aSect the pocketbooks of the accused citizens and citizenesses, but I don't see that much injustice follows. Judge Duffy aad other of his colleagues ha7e been recently accussd of dispensing with jasticp, by their haty and arbitrary methods of administering it, tut, during a two hours' sitting in the Tombs recently, I saw no person refused a hearing, and saw injustice done nobody Tfho hid any plausible tale to tell. Not so with a lady who sat with the Judge and took notes of his decision. It appeared subsequently that this lady had called at the Tombs to see Mrs. Caiari Cignarale, wto is condemned for the murder of her husband, with the idea of appealiDg to Governor XI ill for a commutation of her sentence. She had to wait, and the Judge made her an associate justice for the time. One poor fellow she induced the Judge to send back to work on the aque duct as a worse punishment than lying idle in prison, and the man was so gratified at the interference of the lady that he voluntarily took the pledge for a year. Bat she found fault with two decisions of the Judge. A hard working womaa with several bright locking children, neatly dressed, swore out a commitment for her drunken hn.-band, whom she had supported for years in idleness and sottishness, and the Judge gave him s;x months on the island. "Can't you give her a divorce?' asked the lady of the Judge. "When I am on the Supreme Court bench," replied Dufly. The other case was for assault and battery. A twelve-year-aid girl, accompanied by her mother, swore that a German saloon keeper, to whom she had been sent by her mother for a quart of beer, had struck her in the eye. The eye was black, but several witnesses swore that she 8 truc k it against a swinging door as she ran out of th'3 room. The Judge dismissed the complaint, much to the disgust of the mother. The Judge's fair associate inquire!, with much Indignation: "Can't you commit the mother for sending such a child for beerr The Judge said he coul d not. Just then the irate mother returnel to the Judge and chargtd the saloon-keeper with telling beer to a minor. "And the law compels me to hold this man in $200 bail to answer to that offense In a higher court," was Judge Daffy's comment. It is very doubtful in my mind whether or not it is any punishment at all to send the avtrge prisoner brought before the Tolice Justices to the Tombs prison for brief periods such as most of them are commuted for. The prison is a superior home in every respect to these of most ot th persons brought there from tenement j houses i;r wr-rsa. It is cleaner and coo!er; i the eanded i'oors of ti prison are literally ! c!f an enough to eat off; the shade of those j h?gh prison Wills in r-3 deep as that of a primeval forest, and even the cells are comvsraiively cold. There isn't any good reason why th prison should not be clean, because every prisoner there is a sarvant wbese duty it is to make the legst dirt and to do the most thorough cleaning cf the place. The focd with vLich the prisoners are fed is tcperior In quality and greater in quantity than they are accustomed to without its walls. It is only the re (lectio a that it is not eaten at liberty that mars the meal of the Tomb?. It has a sornbsr look whn you write it; it sounds harsh and -cruel as you say it "In the Tombs." but beyor.d ite feeling of regret that anybody thould have committed crime which brings them there, there isn't the slightest reason to eyrapathiz9 with those who are prisononers "in the Tombs." Warden Walsh went into clace with a hue and cry of the press gains: his appointment. I believe th Star was the only daily paper which said a good word for him. It may ba that these attacks stirred Walsh up to the resolution to make the prison a model one; at any rate, in point of cleanliness, order, quiet and discipline he has made the Tombs larsulrior as a prison to what it ever was before. I have never seen it in such perfect condition as far aa aflecis the safety, health and conduct of ils inmates, whether prisoner or attaches. In th southeast corner Walsh baa as gorgeously appointed a nit as can be found in the city, and in th? opn space between the M?dalen prison aad the southern wt.ll Mrs. Wals a baa constructed & little oasis of a garden with creeping plants and playing fountains that make the whole court yard redolent with natural perfuses and beautiful with every color of nature. Living in the Tombs isn't such an cd pleasant life after all, and I never again mean to sympathizs with anybody who goes there after this. Home of the unheard of charities of this noble city are among its most beaatif ah I heard of one the other day which I am violating confidence in telling about, but I think the rorld will be all the better for knowing about its pure unselfishness and I think my informant was selfish in insisting J should not name the charming donor of this rich bat mod ist charity. Miss Porter, a sister of Noah Porter, of Yale, has been conducting a school at Farmington, Conn., lor over fifty years. It Is one of the famous ?rivate academies for young ladies which s never heard of In print; one that it looks like racrilege to advertise. The daughters of prominent people all oyer the country have been educated at Miss Porter's school dacghters of President and wouldbe Presidents, children of dlgnitatries of every State and of millionaires from every section; and those of them surviving shortly before the close of the semi-centenary of Miss Porter's academy j'ormed themselves into an alumni association, and out of their own pla money proceeded to build a studio for their old superior for Mis Porter is now nearly eeve:ity years old. The delight of their old nutor so please i her former pupils that theyresalYed to continue their

association and delight themselves wlfi extending their charities. They catered into it with the enthusiasm of youth, superheated by the ardor of rich '-a, not knowing which way to take wiag and esger for the right course and a proper quarry ; and so they formed themselves iato a corporation with authority to sue and, of coune, to betued, and were duly incorporated by law in the Sandwich Islands or some otbf r remote State of the great American republic (I promised not to tell where they got their authority) under the naoie of the Porter Lodge .Society. And then they went to work to rais? the nnc?3iary sum (among themselves only, nc outsiders being admitted) to buy a beautiful old homestead near Miss Porter's studio, with thirty-six acre3 of land attached. They Gtted up the house and laid cut ths acroj for the "benefit of deserving women of New York city who have no other way of spending theireummers." That's the idea; I don't quote from any circular, for they have none, nor any advertisemont, for they bide their candle of charity and will not even allow the basket to be takea from off the calcium light of the modern newspaper. They select their guests. ApElications are in vain. Certain members unt up the "deserving vonien." They are invited to Fjend a carliin time at the lodge. No sense of dependence or of charity is left with the woman who accepts. Sue is simply invited to mingle on r-ar terms with ladies of wealth and position m society because she is "deserving." It is intended to be the opening of life to many poor but deserving, enterprising, thoughtful and courageous women struggling in this lovely, magnificent, cruel, remorseless, pitiless, inhuman maelstrom of life, where everybody who can not swim alone will drown, and where those who can not swim without bladders and bloaters and other uncertain help ought never to come. There Is but one exception to the practical character of this lovely charity. The Porter Lodge Society unanimously resolved to violate its rules and its Sindwich Island charter, and allow one of its members to make a special contribution. It was that of an alumnus, who had been delicate at school and has beea a confirmed invalid ever since her marriage. She asksd for and was accorded tbe privilege of fitting "the room into which the most of God's surshine pours" for invalids like herself. It is said tobe one of most exquisitely fprniahed apartments in America, with paintings and bric-a-brac of the most delicate character, and special service of nurses is provided for the occupant, winever she may be. Do you know it is a devilish sight better world this than it is painted.

Why is Providence, lt. I., mad? the center of a certain class of large manufactures of a class that do not particularly care for a protective character? Probably because they can manufacture here on a larger sctle cheaper than the sameclaa3 ofmiaufac'urers can do the same work abr ad. I begin to think so. I was la Providence recently and saw some of the large manufacturing establishments. The Corliss company, which built that magnificent ! engine which ran the works at the Centennial exhibition, eleven years ago, is located here. I asked, incidentally, what had become of that engine, and learned that it bad been sold for the permanent usa ot the town of Pullman, 111., or the town that Pallman built. That Corliss has a brother, lie has a great manufacturing establishment in the same city, or rather its snhurb on the Stonington rxvl, and a magnificent foundry it 13. William Corliss, like his brother, is an inventor as well as machinist, ad latterly bis iDgeuuity has been devoted to devising, and his establishment has been engaged in building fireproof and burglar-proof safes. This establishment is one of the largest in the country, and it has been largely engaged recently in building a safe within a safe, the outer safe, as they claim, being fire-proof, and the inner safe being burglar-proof. I confess that my limited intellect in tAie m atter of mechanics could not fully comprehend the statemeat that it was ä bomb which couldn't be exploded, a safe that couldn't be opened, and a safe that couldn't be entered. I was all the more mystified when they told and showed me that it was a safe without a door. Near by the foundry of the Corliss people the Gorhsnc Manufacturing Company of New York have recently purchased twenty-five acres of ground, and are soon to erect a manufactory which will be uneaualed iathiacoun try. It is said that they will erect aj Ii oe works as their neighbors, the Corliss Sfe Manufacturing Company ; that is to say, massive and extensive, and fitted up wi h special machinery, superior to that in aoy similar works. There is a good deal of inquiry here just now as to a certain per3on by the nanis of Guodyear. The inquiry started in a joke in regard to the dispensation of official favors at Washington by whom I do not know. A politician of fotne renown hi made the remark that Mr. Cleveland was sure of a renomination next year, for the reason that he had pleased not only the South, but New England two extremes; and be aided: "Oh' next year will but good year fo Mr. Cleveland." Another politician present asked: "Is Goodyear stiil a member of the firm?" "Firm? eszed tbe other. "Ob! yes his firm Cleveland, Blssell & Goodyear was the firm. Is he still a mem ber? "Well, Good Luck is," was the response I was interested In this conversation, and on inquiry I found that a Mr. Goodyear, o' whom I had never heard, was a member of tie firm of Buffalo lawyers when Mr. Cleveland was a citizens, ard that he was the Buffalo lawyer of the New York Central llailroad. The published statistics of Va?sar College re very amusing to one who happens to know, as I do, something of the life led there by the inmates. Turkey and chicken seem to be tbe favorite food of the spring chickens there. The commencement this year just now concluding was signalized by a tunny incident of which a yonng and handsome artist, sent to make an illustrated report for the Star, was the hero. He was rather courted by the young ladies they went out of their way to make things highly agreeable for him, and he quietly enjoyed their attentions. But be mentioned one day to several of them grouped about him that he had probably bad more correspondeace with them than any other gentleman of their acqrik'ntance. At this tbey were surprised, anu expressed tbeir surprise. "Oh, I am in earnest," was the reply, "and if you will permit me I will prove it to you." "That's what we want," waa the Indignant chorus. "WelL all right," said Coultaus, for he was the artist in question. "Do you deny, Mi A addressing one of the ladies, "that you wrote me that your bust was 30, and that vour waist was 197" "My goodness!" the young lady exclaimed, "I never beard of you before yesterday." "Didn't you tell me by letter," said the young artist, addressing another young lady, "that you needed a No. 20 corset, and ask me to eend yon one?" "Never!" exclaimed the young lady, "and I never heard of you before." "WelL well." sighed Coultaus. "there ia nothing like ingratitude! I despair of recognition. I appeal to you, Miss , turning to another damsel just about to graduate, "did 1 not, at your written request, send you a white silk dress, a pair of white kid shoes and six pair 01 bo.s'A Balbrtggan stockings " JJot the ladies had fled. When Coultaus got back to the hotel a big brother of one of the Vassar graduates called on him to demand an ex ptanation or satisfaction. "Oh, I'll give you both In one," said Coultaus, " hea 1 received and answered the ladies' letters 1 was amanuensis for Mr. , of the dry goods house of Wixuix F, 0, Bius&s,

THE RECENT MUDDLE.

Geiitril Sberniia's Letter Concerning Ef. Cltveliad's St Louis Trip. He Scouts ths Idea That Any Soldier Would Insult the President Centers of Hi 6. A. E. Would Iastintly RfECLt Affrcnta Fron Any Ssarca. Tr.e Geber&l Will be on Hand aud Advises That the Next Meeting be Held Iii the South. Et. Louis, June 11. General John A. Noble and Colonel D. P. Djer, two prominent members of the Grand Army of the Republic of this city, received a long letter to-day from General Sherman, in which he discusses at some length the recent muddle regarding the invitation to President Cleveland to visit St. Louis during the Grand Army encampment next fall. The mateiial points of the 1 tter are as follows: "The rumor of your tr" übles In SL Lauis reached me by telegraph, and has lost nothing by distance. I believe we here in Ntw York understana tue facts, that the Graiid Army of the Republic holds its ntxt arncal encampment at St, Louis on tbe last WedntBday of September. 1887; that the great fair of the Valley of tie Mississippi begins Monday, October 2; that the best citizens of St. Louis have invited many prominent men to be the guests of their city on the accidental coincidence of these two important events, among these the President of our common country, Grover Cleveland, his family and suite. The Grend Army of the Republic 's composed exclusively of men who eerved in the army end navy of the Union, to whicä Mr. Cleveland does not belong, and, therefore, be can not participate in any of its proceedings; but the moment the Grand Army emerges from its hall of deliberation it becomes, like the Free Masons, Odd Fellows and other societies of good men asiociated for ancble purpose, a part of the general communiy, subject to the laws and usages of tbat community"iir. Cleveland, U.e President of the United States, by a L,lr election of ail our people, commani'er in-chitf of tbe army and navy of the United Sta'es, is free to come and go wherever the jurisdiction of this our nation government extends, lie may visit any fort or ship, where the national Hag will be lowered to manifest resppct to ciru aedbis oCcrs, and bhould a foreign ehip iiil to do him full honor, none will be so quick to resent an insult as the members of the Grand Army of the Republic who periled life and limb to make that nag respected at home ana abroad. The idea of his being insulted, much less endangered, should he be on the stand alongside of our commander-in-chief, General rairchild, when the Grand i Army is passing in review, seems to be monstrous. I think 1 know the Iowa boys too well to believe such a thing possible. Brave men are never ungenerous, and the Iowa soldiers were brave men. I know it of knowledge acquired in battle, and I pledge my life tbat no Iowa soldier rill do so unmanly an act, and should Mr. Cleveland accept the invitation, which I hope he will, to attend the parade of the Grand Array oi the Republic at SL Louis on the 20th of September next, I will stand by his side or march past in the ranks of Ransom Post, as may be ordered by General I airchild. "I notice with pain that the President a action in certain pension bills enters into this unhappy controversey. mere were many private bills, and one of a general nature which the President vetoed. Toe Constitution of the United States compels the President to approve or veto each separate bill as it reaches him from Congress. If approved it becomes a law, it vetoed it requires an increased majority of Congress to pass it, but the President can only account for his judgment by his own conception of duty to his God. We, as soldiers, must submit to iL because it is the law. 1 do not believe this Government can ever be too charita ble to the old soldiers wounded, or in distress by age and infirmity, and bad I been near Mr. Cleveland I would tot have ventured to advise him on the general bill, but, as to private casei, J. would have said: 'Charity enters largely into all pensions, and when any special bills have passed the ordeal of the com mittees of the Senate and House, approve them; but, on the general bill, exercise your full constitutional power.' "Honest men differ widely on this question of pensions to our old and feeble comrades. We all want to do what is right, but differ as to the means. All we know is that after twenty odd years atter the civil war, the Government of the United States under Republican and Democratic rule ray out to our old soldiers o the Union army about $110.000,000 per year, and a few thou sand to the Mexican war veterans, regard less of locality, and not one cent to tbe rebels of the South whom we fought in the civil war. We old soldiers of the civil war have not yet just cause to make an issue on the question of pensions to our infirm and wounded soldiers. . "I advise you to go right along, prepare tbe way for the Grand Army of the Republic at itsses8ion of Wednesday, September 23.1887, at SL Louis and receive them an they deserve as bonsst guests; also, the President of 'he United States with such other honored guests a3 may grace the occasion, if any of our comrades feel hurt at the association they can remain at home, but the sun will rise each morning the seasons will follow each other in quick succession, and the world, with its myriads of people, will go right eiong all tbe same. "Let us do right as near as we know how, and trust the future to the boys who look on ns old veterans as orod'.gies, or as old fogies, lingering superfluant on the stage of life. I believe I know yoa both perfectly well and that jou would sacrifice life rather than honor; therefore, whatever you do, I will stand by you same as to Rainwater, Kennard, Cobb and Jerome Hill, who took the wrong shoot In 1SC1, but who are now with us in h art and act for tbe Union, one and indissoluble, now and forever." "Instead cf the Grand Army of tbe Re public meeting only in the loyai States of 1SG1-5, 1 am in favor of their meeting hereafter at Nashville, Chattanooga, Atlanta and Richmond, following the ex ample cf our armies in the war tor the Union. 1 am always yonr mend, "W. T. Shermaw." Blalarops. ILon-Jon Spectator.! Many rears since, when, as a young curate, I had been delivering a sermon on the "Forgiveness of lninnes" in Horst monceaux Church, and, as I flattered my self, with considerable power, on returning to the vestry my dear old rector, Julius Hare, said to me, with the well-known queer smile cn his rugzed face: "Da you itnowwhat von have been saying to the people? 1 oiolv Lope they -won't folio your advin-." "Why, what?" I asked with some surpr;.,a. "Wny, you've been telling tbcm ovf r an-1 over again to be sure always to return evil for good." Need I say that my pood o'ln;on of myself and of my ser monas w:iously and who:esoaiely less CDf d? The other example occurred at a well' known watering pine. PitMng next to I lady resident at table, the niuie of a gen tleman. also resident there, having been mentioned, tome conversation arose which snowed tbat I was well acnusit.ted with bfm.

of yours." "Yes," I replied, "we hava known one another for years. We are both antiquarians, you know." "Oh, yes," was the reply; "have yon heard that we are going to have an aquarium here?" I need hardly say that I speedily, and I hope skilfully, changed the subject. HONORING THE DEAD.

Meeting of tbe Staunton, Virginia, Con. federate Memorial Association Btacütow, Va, June 9. The largest crowd ever seen in Staunton assembled today to witness the celebration of the Confederals Memorial Association. The chief attraction was the presence of General W. W. Averill, of New York, the orator of the occasion. The column was a mile long, consisting of military and civil organizations, etc In a carriage drawn by four black borsjs rode Governor Lee and General Awill, and as they passed they were frequently cheered. After the parade speaking took place in the operahouse, which was crowded to eaffocation. In introducing General Averill, Governor Lee referred to their long acquaintance, beginning when both were boys at West Point, and to their subsequent association in the old army. Their commands had met face to face in battle during the war that followed, and he was prepared to testify that no braver men contended on either eide than the troop commanded by that gallant officer whose warfare was upon men and not upon helpless women and children. In closing, tbe Governor referred to the obliteration of sectional lines and reunion of the people, as shown by the presence of a Federal General joining with Southern veterans in honoring Confederate dead. General Averill was greeted with ringing applause as be stepped forward and from time to time during his speech he was en tbusiastically cheered. Among other things General Averill said: "Where once outpoits and p'ekets were to guard my command against a brave biid persistent eaeray, I stand alone a welcome gnet. I thauk God and yoa for the changed conditions. I have experienced every vicissitude of war, including being killed, for I have been half killed twice, but all the triumphs I hive evur enjojed, this victory of peace to day is tbe grandest and most satisfactory." The speaker sketched the campaigns of his division during the war; touched upon tf:e results of ths war and the valor aad chivalry of tbe South, and related an anecdote of President Lincoln at the time of the latter's visit to the army of the rotomac, epposite Fredericksbnrg, in !:;. Iq the course of au interview with the President, General Averill showed him a note from General Fitzhugu Lee iu regard to tbe wounded of the letter's command. The speaker continued a9 follows: " Then heiiiked: 'v.eru vou and General Lf e friends?' " 'Certainly,' said I, 'always had been.' " 'What would happen,' he asked. 'fbculd you meet on the battle field?' " 'One or both would be badlv hnrt or killed?' I said, 'obliged to be, Mr. PresidenL' "He leaned that picturesque and mourn ful face of bis on bis band, and, atter a pause, said, with emotion, 'Ob. my God! what a dreadful thing is a war like this, where personal friends must Blay each other and die as his friends!' "I told him that undoubtedly Lee thought he wa3 doing his duty, and I knew that I was doing mine." " 'les,' said Mr. Lincoln, 'I understand your feelings, but tnere are many who would think that you ought to hate each ott er.' "Firallyhe said: 'General Averill, I wish vou would rive me this letter of Lee's.' " 'Certainly, take it. Mr. President.' I re plied, and I have been told by one ot his biographers that he earned the note m his pocket for a loDg time, and would fre quently show it." Rrief addresses were made by General Imboen, Mr. McCall, of New York, aud Mr. McCarthy, of Richmond. Roth Gen eral Gordon of Georgia, aud Jackson, of Ten nee see, were expected, but neither came. M'MACKIN WRITES A LETTER. lie Ia Very IJltter In Ills Denunciation of Editor O'lirien. New York, June 9. John McMlackin, leader of the Henry George party in this city, whose position as chairman of the mats meeting in honor of William O'Brien on Saturday evening caused the latter gen tleman to deny himself to the ejes of tbe great throng, has written an open letter touching that episode and the denunciations which O'lirien hurled at him (Mcilackin) in his speech at the Hoffman House banquet on Monday night. McM8ckin is vry bitter in his denuncia tion of O'i'rien and these with whom he associated in New York. Tbe central idea of the latter is that O' Rrien does not want to free the tenants of Ireland from land lordism by nationalizing land, but merely wants to change landlords; that, after go ing to Canada to denounce Lord Laosdowne, he come to New York and hobnobs with landlords who are habitually guilty of evictions as cruel 83 those practiced against the Luggacurran tenants of the Governor-General. McMackin denounces these who barqueted Mr. O'Brien and lauded his work in Canada as hypocrits. He says their sympathies for evicted Irish tenants are very tender; but that he has not heard a word from Tammany Hall or Bishop O' Far r ell in "condemnation of the brutal evictions a couple of weeks ago in Pennsylvania, where scores of families were pitched out of their homes into the streets and obliged to remain there all night, as the landlord forbade, under penalty of eviction, any one to give them shelter." He declares that the position of the Irish tenant is better than that of bis American compeer; that the former, if his rent is unjustly high, can have it reduced by appeal to the courts, whereas the American tenant most pay up or get out. He concludes, th'-psfore, that Mr. O'Brien in refusing to attend a meeting on behalf of oppressed American tenants, was, to say the least, inconsistent, eiiice he had come across the ocean for the sole purpose of denouncing a man for oppressing Irish t er ants In the same way.

THE INDIANA BUDGET

The Origin of the llljj Kufcomo Fire. Kokomo, June 10. Sjme gool deectivj work of Messrs. Frank Lloyd and Rjbert Hobbs, of Indianapolis, which has some sensational developments, has leaked oat. Last January a barn, not far from the public square of this city, took firo. While tbe attention of the firemen was ocUDied ,wilh the blaze the business houss of Pickett & McNea), on th.8 northeist corner cf tbe square was discovered to be inflames. The fire had gained such betlway that the block was consumed in spit9 of the efforts of the firemen. It wai supposed at the time to have been the work of an incendiary, but there was no positive evidence. About two weeks ago Detective Lloyd, representing himself to be a grocery man in the southern part of tbe State, and seeking a location, came to this place. After gleaning some damaging evidence he returned to Indianapolis. Detective Hobbs came here soon afterward and was satisfied that convicting evidence was found. Sibstquertly two boyB, William and Joseph Malosh, were arrested and lodged in jail on the chaTge of arson. William Milosh confessed that he and his brother burned Pickett & McNeal'8 store, but that they were hired to do it by the son of a prominent citizen, who will also be arrested to-morrow. The evidence is eo clear tbat the parties concerned will have a hard time keeping themselves out of the penitentiary. The complicity of the other young man in the affair ia to be regretted, as be belongs to an es'imable family. Mysterious Disappearance of a Damsel. Kmghtstow5, June 10. A well-to-do farmer's son, by the name of Benny Deem, who resides near this city, has, for several years, been psying his attentions to a widow's daughter, named Ella Foust, living Bouth of Charlottsville, in Rush Cor.aty. They were to have beea married last fall, all the arrangements having been made. About that time, however, Djem became enamored with another country dinuel. and finally married her, much to the disappointment aud chRgrin of Miss Foust, who forthwith employed counsel and brought action ia the Rush Circuit Court against bim for breach of contracL demanding $5,000 damages. The caf.e was set for to-day. All the preliminary steps for a bard tight were taken by ber attorneys, but when the case Cime up for trial this morning, Miss Foust could not be found. Her mother can not give a tat isfactory account of her whereibou's. It is known, however, that a very oflbious person cf this plaze called with a buggy at her home yesterday aftsrnoon and took her away with him, whither! no one knows. The affair ia "peculiar." and is either a compromise or else a foul attempt at kidnaping. Steps are being taken to probe the affair to the bottom and some racy developments are expected. An Unparalleled Outrage. Mapison, June 10. The Sentinel correspondent has just received information of an outrage committed in Milton Township, this county, two miles north of Brooksbuig.

CONDITION OF THE CBOP3. nne lie turns ot the Department ot Agriculture. Washington, June 10 The June returns of the Department of Agriculture indicate a reduction of nearly 2 per cent, in the a ea of winter wheat. Changes In acreage ct States are very sligbL except in Kansas, here a reduction of 22 per cent, is relorted, caused by bad harvests and low prices. The spring wheat area has beea enlarged 0 per cent, from increased immigration and farm-making west of the Mississippi River, in the districts traversed by tbe Northern Pacific Railroad. Most of the increase is in Dakota, which reports an in crement of 21 per cent. The total area of wheat is about 37,000,000 acres, a fraction of 1 per cent, mors than that of the previous crop. In the condition of winter wheat there is no change, the average being Si.'J, a redaction of 910 of 1 per cent In ISSG, the June average was 92 7. Reports of short straw are very numerous; in some districts there are indications that the yield of grain will be larger proportionately than of straw. If there is no increase from this cause, the yield must be less than an average. The harvest is already in progress up to the 38th degree of north latitude. The condition of spring wheat is good in Dakota and Territories westward, but below average records In Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska. The general average of spring wheat is 87.3, which is lower than in recent years, but thirteen points higher than in 1S81. At harvesting last year the condition averaged 80. Dry weather In April has been injurious to winter wheat. Insects have committed creater depredations than usual. The central belt westward from Pennsylvania and Virginia has sufiered local damage from the Hessian fly and the chinch bug has wrought injury in Illinois, Missouri and Kansas. The area of winter rye has been diminished over d per cenL, mainly by a large j eduction in Kansas. Condition ia better than that of wheat, as the.usual average is S8.9. An apparent enlargement of the barley acreage of 3 per cent, is indicated. The increase is In Dakota, California, Oregon and the Territories. Condition averages 87, being slightly above that oi wheat. There is a continuance of the extension of oats culture. The increase is 4 per cent. This crop has taken a part of tbe area formerly in Wheat (Kansas), an advance of :0 per cenL over the acreage of last year. The increase Is large in the Northwest, and there is a tendency to enlargement la all sections of the country. Escaped From JalL. Darville, Ky Jane 11.
