POWERS WARN RUSSIA.

Regard with Disfavor the 81 going of Manchurian Convention. According to advices received from Washington, the diplomats there *ay that Manchuria and not Tien-tsin is the danger point to the Chinese situation. These gentlemen assert that Great Britain, Japan and Germany have given Russia to understand that they will regard with disfavor the signing of the Manchurian convention. It is further stated ■that if the convention is signed a vigorous protest will be made by these powers, and should this be not effectual more aggressive measures will be taken. War talk is deplored in American official circles, where it is well understood that conflict 'between the powers will precipitate the dismemberment of Chinn, which the President and Secretary Hay are trying to prevent. Great Britain, Germany and Japan are suspicious of the St. Petersburg government, notwithstanding its protestations of good faith, and that government, it is believed, will abandon the convention with China rather than engage in war. It is stated that the only danger in the situation at Tien-tsin lies in the antipathy of the British and Russian troops for each other. The London and St. Petersburg governments, however, it is thought, will not allow any clash to occur in that part of China that might involve the two countries in war.

BONI WOUNDS HIS FOE.

Duel with the Editor of Figaro Take* Place Near Faria. M. de Rodays, the Paris editor, was wounded in his duel with the Count de Castellane. The count was untouched. The duel occurred near Faria Saturday afternoon. Pistols were the weapons used. Twenty-five paces were stepped off, and the contestants took their station. Then the duel opened. One shot was fired. De Rodays fell, wounded in the thigh. The injury, Though painful, is not considered serious. The cause of the duel between Anna Gould's husband and M. de Rodays-, editor of Figaro, was the publication in Figaro of a list of the count’s debts, and an article in which it was alleged that the count and countess had gone to New York to raise money from the Gould family to make up losses of the count on the Bourse. This publication occurred while the De Castellanos were at sea, and when the count landed and was told of it he declared he would not challenge the editor, but would slap his face. The face slapping came off on schedule time, and Rodays promptly challenged De Castellaae to fight.

BANK WRECKER CAUGHT.

Niles, Mich., Cashier Located and Captured in Colnmbus. Charles A. Johnson, who wrecked the First National Bank of Niles, Mich., of which he was cashier, and who is said to have made away with more than. SIOO,000 by wholesale forgeries, was arrested Sunday at Columbus, Ohio, by United States Secret Service Agent Porter of Chicago. It is believed, says a dispatch from Washington, that Johnson's peculations may greatly exceed SIOO,OOO, although the attachment, filed by the directors of the suspended bank against the cashier carried with it a claim for just that amount of notes forged against leading citizens of Berrien County, Mich. For miles around Niles the country is stricken, as a result of Johnson's operations, many persons who formerly had good bank accounts now being without a dollar. It was supposed that Johnson was hiding in Chicago, but when Secret Agent Porter went to Niles to investigate he at once obtained a clew which took him post-haste to Columbus. Johnson, it is understood, has for years been a plunger on the Windsor race track. Two years ago he lost more than $4,000. lie kept fast horses aud has been known to plunge frequently.

THE RAILROADS

, The Michigan Central Railroad officials are jubilant over the success attending the experiment of lighting up Niagara Falls by searchlight from the Falls View ' station* of that road, on the Canadian side. The revelation of the powerful searchlight was startling, but pleasing. More distinctly even than in the full ' glare of the sun, the beautiful curve of j the Horseshoe fall, the picturesque cliffs ; of Goat Island and the graud American ; fall against its dark green setting of [ Prospect Park stood out. Even the nearer buildings of the city across the great I'gorge were brought within range, presenting a scene of unexampled grandeur and beauty. Immediate arrangements will bo made to have a permanent searchlight established for the benefit of night passengers on the Michigan Central, and when each passenger train noars Falli View the light will be turned on and allowed to remain until the passengers have passed out of the line of vision. Railroad managers la all parts of the country are considering the advisability of abolishing news agents and “peanut butchers" on trains. The public has long regarded them as nuisances. It is reported that quite a number of railroads will prohibit newsboys from ridiug on trains, nud will establish news stands at all important stations. Work has been begun on a new railroad to connect Chicago and Toledo, O. The line will be built by the Wabash to give this company a short route between the -two cities. The Supreme Court of Michigan has decided that share** of the New York Central road by a resident of Michigan arc subject to taxation by that State. The l sale of 21,000,000 acres of land by the Northern Pacific Railroad lying west of the Missouri river for ft 0,000,000 is reported to have beep consummated. On J untie 2 the Grand Trunk Railway, In connection with the I>chigh Valley, w ill place in service n new fast train between Chicago and New York. Work on the Duluth, Red Wing and Southern Is to be renewed and pushed With vigor.

RELIEF OF STATE’S POOR.

Facts Set Gut in Secretary Butler’s Annual Report. The operations of the law for the relief P °° r b Y the Legislature of 1893 and of the amendments thereto made by the Legislatures of 1897 and 1899 are set out in elaborate detail and discussed in an interesting manner by Amus W. Butler, secretary of the Statu Board of Charities, in his report. On this subject tlie report says: “Six years ago the total expense of the county and township poor in "Indiana amounted to over $1,000,000. Of this there was paid out by township overseers of . ,' l i e l’ ool ' and for medical relief $630, • 168.79. The number of persons helped by the township trustees was beyond belief. Money was drawn at will from the county treasury, and frequently was paid out without reason. The Legislature of 189.*, recognizing the looseness of the methods employed and the necessity of some supervision, required that detailed reports cf every person helped should be made to the Board of State Charities. As a result of the operations of that law the Legislature of 1897 provided for each township to levy a tax for the support of its own poor. - The last Legislature provided for more business-like methods in this work. The result of this succesBion of wise measures batv been reffiarkable. The value of official aid and medical relief in 1900 has fallen to $200,050.22, a decrease of $420,212.57, over 00 per cent, in six years. “The favorable labor and financial conditions have made more easy the adoption of improved methods. Notwithstanding this great decrease, wc are assured that no needy one has suffered. The poor asylum population is less than it was a year ago, and the number of, dependent children remains substantially the same. "The number of persons receiving aid from the townships in 1897 was 82,235, in 1900 40,309. Of the latter 21,822 were children 10 years of age or trader. The year ending Aug. 31, 1897, is used for comparison because it is the first complete year in which full reports were received front the different townships throughout the State. While in the poor asylums ihe proporiion of inmates is two males to one female, it 1# to be noted that more women than men are helped by the overseers of thq,poor. In 1890 22,075 men and 24.291 women were aided by the township trustees. In 1897 ail was given 103,559 times; in 1900 74,546 times.

LAKES ARE DISAPPEARING.

Twin Bodies of Water Are Gradually GrowitiK Smaller. A peculiar phenomenon exists in the northern part of Blackford County. Two lakes, known as "Twin lakes,” are gradually disappearing. The lakes cover twen-ty-five and forty acres each. They were formerly much larger, but are gradually being encroached upon each year by the rank vegetation, so that it is but a question of time until they will completely disappear. Less than ten years ago fish was abundant in these lakes, but at present only a few smaller species are found, and sportsmen no longer gather along their banks. The lakes lie in a flat section, and for several rods front their edges the soil is one mass. of entangled roots floating upon the water. As one approaches the edges of the lakes the ground shakes in all directions, and care needs to be exercised to prevent sinking beneath the treacherous surface. A pole forty feet long can be shoved straight down out of sight with but little effort, after it once passes through the roots upon which the spectator stands. Cattle and horses have disappeared in this peculiar formation, and in 1893 a botany class from the high school of Hartford City rescued a horse which had ventured out too far. / The pitcher plant and many of the in-sect-devouring species of plants are abundant here, and botanists find much to interest them. In 1899 the Standard Gil Company built an oil derrick as near the water's edge as possible. When the drill was dropped it disappeared completely.

OUR GROWING POPULATION

Facta and Figures Gathered from the National Census. The census bulletin showing ihe population of Indiana complete, has been prepared by Witt. C. Hunt, chief statistician tor population. The 1900 population ol' the State is 2,516,462, against 2,192,404 in 1.890, an increase of 324,058, or 14.8 per cent. The area of the State is approximately 35,010 square miles, making the average population to the square mile di.l. Iu 1890 it was 61.1. The present population is more than 446 times that of 1860, when it was 5.641. All counties in the State except fourteen, Boone, Browu. Crawford, I tearborn, Franklin, Jefferson, Lagrange. Cartoll. Hendricks, Ohio, Putnam, Switzerland, Uniou and Whitley, show increased population over 1890. These show slight, decreases. The highest percentage of increase wus in Madison County, 93.1 per cent. Next came Grant, 73.7 per cent., and Delaware 64.7 i»er cent. In the five great titles the greatest increase in nuuniber has been in Indianapolis, wlioeev since 1890 the population has increased 63,728, or 60.4 per cent. In per cent the largest increase has been in South Bend, 65. In Evansville the per cent was 16.3, Fort Wayne 27.5 and Terre Haute 21.4.

INDIANA INCIDENTS.

RECORD OF EVENTS OF THE PAST WEEK. Kidnaped Child Returned to Texa. — Baker Coe. to Germany to Claim Fortnne—Girl Crack* Her Father’s Fkull—New Game Law. ' S >yieriff Boone of El Paso, Texas, came to Indianapolis after May Charlotte Stevens, an 11-year-old girl who was kidnaped at her home in El Paso by an actress six years ago. The child is now in the lladlcy Industrial School near Danville, and the sheriff, accompanied by detectives, went there after her. The case is one of the most remarkable that has come to the attention of the police in years. The child was discovered in the school by an Indianapolis woman who visited the place by chance. She asked the child concerning her past life, and the little girl told a disconnected story about being taken away from her home. The Indianapolis woman, whose came is withhold by request, took an interest in the case and wrote to the authorities in Texas for particulars. The reason the child was kidnaped is not known. She was taken about the country by the actress. About four years ago, while in Lafayette, the woman was arrested, and died a few days later in jail. The child was then taken in charge by Miss Brazier of Lafayette, and n sho ft. time later the little one was placed iu the industrial school. Baker Is Heir to $127,030. Max L. Gold rose, a journeyman baker of Lebanon, ha* been notified that he is heir to $127,000 by the death of his father at Bromberger, Germany. Goldrose was editor of the Bromberger Tagblatt in 1890, and some of his articles offended the crown, nml he sought America us a refuge. Ilis brother in Germany has obtained amnesty for him. and he left the other day to claim his fortune and the title of baron. He went by way of Chattanooga. Tenn., to wed Miss Anna Franklin, a descendant of Benjamin Franklin, Goldrose is 30 years old, and a graduate of Heidelberg University. New Game Law.— The Layman game bill is a law, the Governor having signed it. The feature which permitted hunters to poach on the preserves of Chicago clubs was stricken out. Hunters from outside of the State must pay an annual fee of $25 and must carry their licenses. No quail is allowed to be sold in the State and not more than twenty-four quail can be killed'in one day by one hunter. Hits Her Father with an Ax. Fred Crane of West fork was struck on the head with an ax by his 16-year-old daughter Maud while he was heating her mother. It is thought that his skull is fractured. No attempt was made to arrest the girl. Her paternal uncle declared himself ready to go on her bond in any sum. Crane was once whitecapped on account of wife beating. Within Our Borders. Erastus Randolph, Charles Large and John Turley, pioneers of La Grange County, were found dead iu i»ed, all having died of apoplexy. Field day exercises of the high schools of Wabash, Marion. Huntington, Hartford City, Fairuumnt and Kokomo will he held May 10. at Marion. The widow of the late Samuel Bayard, who was Evansville's wealthiest citizen, has donated a parsonage to the Parke Memorial Presbyterian Church, that city, McAiubridge Brothers, oil operators, drilled an oil well on the farm of Renze I.ee, near Landesville. that has developed the greatest natural gus gusher in Indiana. The blacksmiths of the block eoai mines of the Brazil district held a conference with the operators and agreed on a scale of $2.50 per day of eight hours and signed n contract for one year. Harris Kctchnm and Clyde Geiger of Green township tried to drive acroer the railroad with a sleigh iu front of an approaching freight, and just as they reached the track the shafts pulled out and left them in the lurch. They escaped, but it took lively hustling. Anson Reed, a Royloston young man, entered Harry Berry's saloon at Tipton and began undressing and throwing his clothes at the mirrors and glassware, howling he was a "smasher.” The bartender smashed Reed and the latter went to the hospital. It was thought lie was fatally hurt, but he will probably recover. \\ illiani Evans, assistant principal of the Williamsport high school, resigned his position under sensational circumstances. A note written by him to a 15-year-old girl in the grammar department was intercepted by her teacher and turned over to the school hoard, with the result that his resignation was demanded at once. Evans admits he wrote and implicates a business man of Williamsport. Both are married men and well known.

The building of a dam on the St. Joseph river, six miles east of South Bend, by the St. Joseph Power Company will result in the creation of an artificial lake one by nine miles. The banks will be high, and many pretty sites for cottages will be found, making a pleasant resort within easy reach of South Bend, Mishawaka aud Elkhart. The additional power to be derived from this dam Is confidently expected to prove a great developer for South Bend. The dam will be twenty-one feet high nud is expected to produce 5.000 horse-power, most of which will likely find n market in South Bend. Mrs. Emma Temple, aged 33, wns killed at a street crossing of the Big Four Railway in Lafayette. Mrs. E. G. Bunnell, Lnports, ran a needle into her foot. The eye entered first, and the needle was broken into three pieces. Geo. Harner, near Pyrmont, slipped on n piece of ice while moving his household goods./ and crushed his hip. Probably crippled for life. L. A. Arbuekle, n widower, Sardinia, eloped with pretty 18-year-obl Lena Mnnn. Her father found a ladder leaning against the house, which told the story of her cvcnpe. They went to Indianapolis, where traces of them were lost.

STRENUOUS LIFE FORGOVERNOR

Many Responsibilities Added by Legis-lature-New Appointments. Examination of the laws that were enacted by the Legislature shows that the Governor will have from sixty to sixty-five appointments to make, in addition to those made by. his predecessor. Despite the agitation against the creation of any more State boards, the General Assembly added two to the list—a State Board of Forestry and a State Board of Embalmers. The State Board of Forestry is to have an office in the State House. After the death of Gov. Mount, there were many comments that Indiana kills her Governors by heaping responsibilities on them. The Legislature this win- . ter added to the Governor's responsibilities by creating new departments and by transferring two to his control. The appointments placed in his hands by tbo General Assembly that has recently closed are shown in the following: A State Bonrd of Forestry, to consist of five members, appointed by the Governor. Members serve without compensation, but a secretary to lie chosen by the board shall receive $1,200 a year and S6OO for traveling expenses and have an office in the State House. , A State Board of Embalmers of live persons—four practical embalmers and one physician. They receive actual traveling and necessary expenses and a secretary may be paid SIOO a year. A Mining Commission, of four persons —two operators and two miners—-to codify the mining laws and report, with recommendations, to the next Legislature. A legislative committee to visit State institutions and to be composed of two Representatives and one Senator, not more than two of whom shall he of the same political party. They receive $3 a day and expenses. The law is milch tlie same as that passed two years ago. Boards of Metropolitan PoHce for Kokomo. Marion, Hammond and Vincennes, each board to consist of three commissioners, not more than two to be of the same political party.

Scores of Families at Memphis Are Rendered Homeless. The town of Memphis was almost totally destroyed by lire the other day. Memphis has a population of l.Dttti. There are now hut ten houses standing. The fire is supposed to have been caused by sparks from "Tr-dave factory. A steady wind fanned the flames, carrying the tire beyond control, and assistance was sent from Jeffersonville, but the firemen were powerless on account of scarcity of water. Scores of families are homeless. Among the business houses destroyed are) William F. Coombs, general store; J. J. Hawes, general store; C. I).

Can't Force Vaccination Now.

The State Board of Health bus discovered that the compulsory school law enacted by the Legislature just closed docs away with the authority of school board* to exclude from schools children that have not been vaccinated. The amendment was slipped into the bill by Representative Louttil. who is opposed to vaccina lion. Postmaster Neal, Jonesboro, is said to bo the only private cittern who was ever successful in gaiuing entrance to*the floor of either the House or Senate at Washington. .During the inauguration he left tiis coat aud hat in a committee room and passed through the door to Congressman Steele’s desk and then visited the desk of Senator Fairbanks. Horace Boyd, tried in police court at Evansville for breaking into the Grand Opera House to see the performance, was given a public whipping in the corridors of the lookup.
