A doubl funeral occurred at Burlington last Saturday at 1 oYlook in the afternoon which waa particularly sad. i- relerick Robinson has been long sick with ri-.nsumptlon. as.ww his Mster-in-law, Mrs. Lizzie Lanning. and on Thursday of last week, about PI oYhtck the latter died. Mr. Robinson was over to the Lanning home shortly after and remarked that his strong constitution wan aiding him and that he never felt better than that day. Fpon his return home he was taken suddenly worse and died about 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Mr Robinson was about twenty-five years of age and leaves a wife and four children. He was an upright young mm who enjoyed the respect of the community. Mrs. Lanning leaves a husband and two children. She was an exemplary lady whose death is deeply mourned. The funerals wen- conducted Saturday at 1 o'clock in Rurlington and the remains of Mr. Robinson were interred in the r.all Hill cemetery and of Mrs. Lanning in the Burlington cemetery. Delphi Time. The son of Fngineer Coutv f the Wayne knitting mills, a lad of some sixteen years, and a son of Justice Charles Hays, seem to have been n the mt for ome time iast. Wednesday thev were together engaging In bovirh sport's when the son of 'Squire Ilavs produced a pistol.

The ball entered the heal of the bov on th right side of the temple, but did" not penetrate the skull. He was taken to his home ami Dr. C. Ii. Sternen was called to attend him. Dr. Sternen found that the ball had glanced off the. skull and had not penetrated the brain, but plowed along through the scalp. At night he had not prolyl fir the ball and the supposition is that the bullet has worked its way out. Oouty's father was much Incensed and statel last night that the Havs l.y had threatened to kill his son at one time.

There's nothing funny, nothing elevating or refining; there's no development of mind or tn.itter, nothing civilizing or suggestive of culture, in the 'Tights" between the sophs an.l freshie-. or other classes cf the university. On the contrary, their attacks upon each other, resulting in physical harm and the destruction of private property, command, only adverse criticism. There is no reason, neither is there common sens in breaking into private residences, damaging furniture, tearing carpets and curtain.-, etc.. in successful of vain endavors to capture and lrag out for torture the members of another class. The whole business should be stepped; if the university authorities cannot do It. the oflic. rs of the law should take a hand In thin horse play.

The net cash earnings of the prison" for 1.W5 was ?i:5,04.K2. and this sum would have been much larger but for the fact that a large force of prisoners were worked on the new water works, chattel and dining room improvements. Of the prisoners 4'7 are native Hoosiers, forty-four Kentucklan. forty-three are New" Yorkers, fifty are Illlnoisaus. ninety-seven are Ohioans and sixtv-three are foreign born.

J. A. Chubb of Detroit sen. Is the Pispat h a üpping from a Detroit paper containing an account of the scheme to construct a big ship canal frm Lake Erie to Michigan City. This scheme was recently reviewed by the Dispatch, but Mr. Chubb also favors us with a Detroit paper, the Journal, containing a communication from N. J. Strong of Fairfield, Mich., who takes issue with those who do not consider th proje t practicable. Mr. Strong seems to know what he is talking abut. He says: People in southern Michigan who take issue with ex-Senator Palmer on the ship canal question are many. Your correspondent lived in Calhoun county when the old Quaker tried to get an appropriation to survey a ship cajtal across the state, but he wanted it to go through Rattle Creek; if not. he did not care for it. Now every one acquainted with the geography of the state saw such a route was not practicable land tfJ high and uneven. Hut a survey from Michigan City to some point near Toledo, passing1 through the southern tier of counties, where land Is comparatively level, would be a. success. Thirty years ac it used to be said that there was property enough lost upon the upper lakes every ear to build a canal across the state, to say nothing of the many lives lost, not reckoned to dollars. Though this may be an extravagant statement, yet it's worth our thought and earnest consideration. I think, taking the average of weather during the running season, better time could be made on a canal than through the upper lakes, to say nothing of fuel saving. Then, again, captains need not be compelled to patronize the canal if they prefer to endanger life and property. On thing is certain, the canal could be passed in all kinds of weather in perfect safety. Of course bridges would be a necessity, but yankees have a way of getting along with such difficulties astonishingly. I think the time not distant when a ship canal will be thought a necessity. Look at the great ship canal from Liverpool to Manchester, through a very thickly settled country", which makes the latter city, thirty-five miles Inland, equal as a commercial txiint to Liverpool. The Suez canal was thought to be at the time of building a wonderrul thing, and it is. So will be the one across our isthmus when completed. So let us not be discouraged, and don't let us fight the project if It isn't likely to pass our dwellings. Michigan City Dispatch. Too Small for the Patient. FT. WAYNE. Feb. 28. Special. Tae board of trustees of the Indiana home for feeble-minded will ask for an appropriation of $30.000 to be used in constructing an addition f.-r the accommodation of 100 new patients. The .wards now contain 4;r inmates, and the capacity of the institution is tested. Many applications are on file from different parts of the state. The present home has been too small for nearly two years. Superintendent Johnson Is preparing the plans for the proposed addition. Klre at fw Pule 1 1 nr. NEW PALESTINE, March 1. Special. The third destructive lire which has occurred here within the last sixty days broke out at-12:30 last night in the rear of A. P. Hogle's hardware store. For some time the destruction of all the adjacent buildings seemed Inevitable, but by the hard and Fystematie work of the fire department the carriage works and blacksmith shops of Faut & Pro. were saved. Loss, not known; insurance, none. Arrested for Violating Mqiutr I.nvr. GREENWOOD. March 1. Special. J. TV. Arbuckle, W. H. Scott and Harvey Rrewer, liquor dealers, were arrested today on grand Jury Indictments for violation of the law. The Bent Authorities, Such as Dr. Dlo Lewis, Prof. Grois and ntherp, agree that catarrh is not a local but a constitutional disease. It therefore requires a constitutional remedy like Hood's Sarfaparllld, which permanently cures catarrh.

Thos" who did not awake at the earthquake-like nojse were called from their homes by the fire alarm to find lhat upon lb" principil street crossing of the Pan-Handle railroad, almost Immediately in front of the depot, had occurred one of the most disastrous rear-end collisions known to the company. Bruce I de. the engineer in charge of the fifth section of No. M. a freight train bound oast, had fallen asleep, whleh was md known to Fireman Fred Merril. and as this is a perishable freight train, it Pas the right of way over all other trains, either cast or westItouud. It was flying along at a lightning speed, when it run into the caboose of the fourth section of No. S4. A shriek from the mangled engineer, a report that was tremendous and a ghoek that could Im? distinctly felt in any part of the city, and all was over. The engine left the track Immediately after striking the caboose, plowed deep in the ground alonside the track for a distance of three hundred feet, when it suddenly switched off in a direction directly opposite the track only to be thrown high into the air, turning a complete somersault, landing upon its back with the rear end of her immense boiler left in such a position as to demolish the bx cars which were whizzing by. Great timbers from the caboose were driven into the boiler of the huge locomotive, smashing the heavy Iron encasing it and leaving it sc tightly wedged that nfthing but fire will ever remove it. Engineer Ide received injuries that will, in all probability, cost him his life. His skull was fractured, nos? broken and Jaw mashed into small pieces. Fireman Merril wps thrown from th cab high into the air and landed a distance tf fifty feet from the track. However, with the exception of a badly scalded leg and a few bruises about the head he was not Injured. Fifteen freight ars were almost completely demolished, scattering their contents In every direction and furnishing a great opportunity for petty thieves to get in their work. Fruits, groceries, etc., were stolen and a. still greater amount sold by the railroad officials at almost a song to avoid a loss completely. The wounds of Engineer Ide were dressed and be was sent by a special train to h's home at Ijogansport. The loss to the railroad company is estimated at J7".00. j vmki p. Arri.r.ti vte. Ills mllen Drnth n Outline of Ills Life Work. NEW ALBANY. March 4. Special. The Sentinel gave a brief announcement of the sudden death of Mr. James P. Applega.te, the editor of the New Albany IHlger. He has been ill for several days and had been confined to his home since Thursday evening, but no gerlous results were feared from his flight indisposition. Shortly after 7 o'clock Saturday morning his daughter, Ida Applegate, went t his room to call him for breakfast. She failed to arouse him and a moment later discovered that he was dead. He was laying with his face buried In the pillo.V3 as if smothered, and death had nly enueJ a few moments before as the body was still warm." Mr. Applegate was anative of Clark county, Indiana, being born at Charles town fifty-Fix years ago. After completing a. common school education he entered the state university at Dloomington. from which he graduated with honors. He returned to Charlestown and engaged In the practice of law for several years. He served eight years as county recorder of Clark county, and In 1872 went to New Albany and took a position as city editor of the Ledger, having purchased an interest In the publication. He served ten years as city editor, and twelve years ago was made editor of the paper. In 1S91 he erved a term as representative to the Indiana legislature from Floyd county. Mr. Applegate took great interest in agricultural and horticultural work, and was well known throughout the state among those Interested in these branches cf labor. In politics Mr. Applegate was a stanch democrat and he was a fearless and aggressive writer in advoratlng the principles of demiie-raoy. He leaves a wife an. three children. Miss Ida Applegate. Lyman Applegate and William Applegate, freight agent for the Motion railroad in Louisville. The following extracts nre from the obituary notice in the ledger: "In 1S9 Mr. Applegate was elected as representative in the legislature from Floyd county, serving in that body with distinguished holier to himself and usefulness to bis constituents. He was ? author ot the sinking fund bill for New Albany and secured its passage through the legislature a measure which has proved an inestimable financial boon to the city. His term in the legislature was further distinguished by his strong advocacy of every measure in the interests of the people, and his equally strong opposition to every measure that had a job in it. This will best illustrate the sterling honesty of the man. "Coming into th? editorial management of the Ledger with comparatively little experience in that line of taxing labor and wearing resronsibllity. Mr. -Apple-gate grew inte the business rapidly, broadening and deepening in qualification as the years went by, until he won a biga position in point of ability and' Judgment among the editorial fraternity of Indiana. He ws always conscientious and fearless la the expression of his convictions Politically he was a democrat of the. Jeffersonian school, and always ably maintained the traditions of his party. "In social Mf he was a genial companiongentlemanly and courteous In his bearing kind and considerate toward others, and with a vein of deep and tine sympathy pervading his nature. He was a. firm believer in the Christian religion, though not a member of any church. "As a husband ami father he -was considerate, loving and tender In devotion. His chief ambition in family was to contribute to the welfare of his family. In the sudden and sad bereavement that has come to them there will be bleeding

Miss EHa May Dickerson, aged twentyfour, l as been an inmate of the place for over a y,ir. She was subjected to epileptic fl.s. While standing near an open firep1nv she was attacked by one of these spoils and fell bead first into the hearth of burning natural gas. The only person in the room with he-,- at the time wes Aunt Betsy Davis, another inmate, who is pi7 veais old. The old lady is So feeble that she is nearly belob??, and she could bud but little assistance. Aunt Betsy's eyes have nearly grown shut, and she could hardly see to help her. She cannot walk and her voice is very weak. She attempted to pull the prostrate form from the fire and her clothing caught lire also. The wife of Sutoi -intend'-nt Watson, chanced to be passing; tl-c room, and, smelling the peculiar o!o(- from the girl's burning hair and flesh she entered the n,rtm just in the nick of time to save Aunt Betsy's life. Miss Dickerson presented a horrible spec.taclo when rescued and her suffering was agonising until relieved by death a few hours later. The flesh was nearly all cooked from her face and her hair was burned off. The clothes on her body were burned off and part of her bodywas burned In a hu tible manner. Mrs.' Watson was badly burned about the hands and face in rescuing the women. Aunt Betsy is confined to her bed from the Injuries, but it is believed that she will recover.
