INDIANA STATE NEWa Tax publication in the newspaper* of the fact that Dan Liser, of Lincoln* ville. Wabash county, has the pair of handcuffs originally worn by John Brown, the abolitionist, has brought Mr. Dan Liser innumerable letters of inquiry from all over the country. Many persons, including a director of the Chicago board of trade, wish to buy the relic, but Mr. Lizer refuses to part with it. The price of new corn will be lower at Wabash this fall than for many years. Heretofore the farmers hare been able to feed their corn to stock, but °the crop this year is much larger than usual and for the first time in a decurie there will be heavy shipments ' of the cereal from Wabash c ronty. J Wabash elevator men expect to pay twenty cents per bushel. George Hartman, aged 10, was killed by a trolley ear at Lafayette, a few days ago. Ilis body waa fright* fully mangled. Scari.it fever is raging in Van Buren township, near Shelbyville, and the schools have been suspended for the present Thousands of barrels of apples are going to waste in Harrison county for lack of river transportation. The Methodist Church at Oaktown, Knox county, was burned the other evening. Nothing was saved. The congregation will rebuild. Rev.

Thk laying of the gas line by the Chicago Pipe-Line Co., has been stopped in Grant county bir the sheriff. Commission men are paying farmers but seventy cents a barrel for the finest apples, and lots of corn has been sold at twenty cents. A discovery has just been made in chemistry which will, it is alleged, work a great change in the development of oil and gas wells in the Indiana and Ohio oil fields. It has been found that the action of hydro-chloric acid on the limestone formation in this territory is far more powerful than nitroglycerine in opening up the Trenton strata, while it is much less dangerous .to handle. The removal of a ton of rock by the application of a ton of acid in the bottom of a gas or oil well means a great deal for producers and a practical test just made is said to demonstrate the efficiency of the new agent. An increase of 300 per cent in the yield of oil and 400 per cent, in the production of gas is reported to have followed the use of the acid in certain wells. The acid is said to peculiarly affect the Ohio and Indiana limestone formations and is valueless in the sedimentary deposits of the eastern states where oil is found. An incident calculated to emphasise the remarkable drought in Indiana is the shutting down of the Eaton paper mill because of the lack of water. This mill is supplied with water from the Mississinewa river. There is a dam above the mill site and the water has been leased by the paper company, but the supply is insufficient and the mill had to shut down or pump the river dry.

JOHN» BULL'S OFFER. IfrtniltM^ M«k« OM4RI* riakoMta ▼•mimIs Will Accept tkt Monroe ltao trine nod Anbt Um United State* In Malutalninc Ik Against the World—It to Mot Likely to Keoelve Cotnlderatluu. Chicago, Oct. 87.—A special from Washington says: The United States will not consider the suggestion of Lord Salisbury for an alliance for the building of the Nicaraguan canal and the direction of Sooth and Central American affairs. It is understood that the suggestion did not come iu a way to demand a formal reply. It was made in a ten* tative way, with the intimation that it would be put in the form of an offlcial proposition ff this country should indicate u disposition to consider it. It is uncertain whether the sug; os. ion was ever put in writing by the British officials. The suggestion was mu.de verbally by Lord Salisbury to Ur. Bayard, and by him unofficially communicated to Mr. Olney secretary of state. It is understood that Sir Julian Paunocfote has broached the subject in the way of a casual suggestion of what ought to be done, either to Mr. Olney or to the president himself, with whom his personal relations are quite intimate. No disposition to consider the matter was shown by the representatives of this government unless, perhaps, Mr. Bayard acquiesced to the general idea that something of tbe sort ought to be considered in a gen eral way. The proposition was plainly this: "That Ureal Britain would be satisfied I if this couutry w6uld permit her, with* i out interference on our purt, to take j possession by force of all the territory ! she claims frou^Venezuela and would < agree to the joint construction and j ownership of the Nicaraguan canal. She would then pledge herself not to seek the acquisition of aiK more terri- j tory on this continent and would recognize and join us in enforcing the Monroe doctrine. It was represented that the governments of South and Central America were irresponsible and did not afford ’ proper protection to foreigners and j foreign interests . and that Great; Britain and the United States should \ join in compelling proper respect to j the citizens.or subjects and the inter- j ests of the United States and Great Britaiu. one country or both to main- j taiu a naval force in the vieiuity to protect the interests of citizens of , either couutry.

It was tqtimated that unless such an arrangement could be made Great j Britain would not recognize the Mon* j roe doctrine as having any force and ! that she would be compelled to take such steps as she deemed necessary to : protect British interests on this con* tineut This suggestion is treated as having no reference to the letter of Secretary Oluey on the subject of the Monroe doctrine and is entirely in* formal. * The tone of the delayed reply to Mr. Olney’s letter will, however, be influenced by the manner in which this informal suggestion is received. Being satisfied the United States will, not consider a proposition for an alliance, • probably none will be formally made J and the subject will be ignored as if never broached. The reply to Mr. Olney is expected to lie simply tne alternative proposition that Great Britain cannot recognize the Monroe doctrine and wMl proceeded to- protect her interests ir her own way. THE SMUGGLING SCANDAL. Writ of Prohibition Discharged—Sets ores or Smuggled Goods Coutlnne. St. Johns, N. F., Oct 27.—The supreme court in the case against Saloonkeeper Collins charged with dealing in smuggled liquor yesterday discharged the writ of prohibition restraining the magistrate from hearing the case, the court holding ft to be »preferable that the accused appeal on the whole case, if he should be convicted. Yesterday afternoon the magistrate concluded the case and sentenced Collins to six months’ imprisonment An appeal will be taken, which, owing to the crowded state of the docket, will suspend the sentence for an indefinite period.

i ne magistrates yesterday suspended the licenses of twelve saloonkeepers who are involved in the smuggling until the charges against them are tried.

SHOT INTO THE MOB .Tm And Two of It* IlMbdi Bit th» Duel— Attempt of Lfachtn to Toko • Ked-Hamtcd Matdmr from J*«-De-termtood Had gacewifat KooUtonco oo. th* Port of tho liktrlff and Ills Como Tirrix. Ot. Oct 28.—In an attempt ea^Iy yesterday morn inf? to avenge the-, murderer of August Schultx, Tiffin’s, popular city marshal, who was shot. ^ down in cold blood by Leander J. Martin, alias Williams, a farmer of tlapewell township, last Wednesday evening, two more victims were added to* the tragic affair. At 1:80 o'clock a mob of ISO infuriated men. many of whom were under the influence of liquor, attacked the jail in an effort to secure Martin and han>r him. A volley from a half: dozen Vieohesters met them, and Henry Mutchler, Jr., and Christian Mat* were killed. At daylight crowds began to gather in the vicinity of the jail, and Sheriff' Van Nest fearing further trouble, called out Co. C of the Sixteenth regiment Q. N. G., to maintain order. This company, which is stationed here, is not numerically strong, and the sheriff, thinking Capt. Loomis' men would by unable to cope with a more general civic upriung, telegraphed Gov. McKinley for more troops. The governor complied with the request, ordering three additional companies to the scene. During the day one company each came from Fremont and Saudusky, and late last evening the company from Kenton arrived on the Big Four. It is not believed that -there will be any further trouble, yet the friends of* the dead men threaten vengeance tothe guards who fired on the mob and. the dead marshal's friends say they will kill Martin if they can get him-. Martin was spirited away to Fremont long before daylight, but this, the people refused to believe. Thenames of the guards who fired the fatal volley are known only to Sheriff Van Nest. The guards who carried .out the orders of their superior officer and upheld the law with such terrible effect disappeared from „the jail as soon as word came that Martin was safely on the way to Fremont. The mob. quickly^ learned that the object of their venegance was no longer within reach and slowly dispersed.

iu tueir .piot to lyncn iue slayer of their friend the marshal, the mob's rage uud threats of vengeance were directed againt the deputies who* had killed two of their number. They tried to find the officers and learn theiridentity if possible, but in vain, A company of militia arrived lastnight from Toledo and went into camp* in the vicinity of the jail, where the other four companies of the national guard are on duty, making an armed, force of trained men sufficient to repel: auy attack which even an organized and heavily-armed mob might makeon the jail. Col. Kounts, of Toledo., as ranking officer, assumed command of the militia, and the situation at a , late hour gave no indication of an> other outbreak. Mutchler was 23 years of age and a. laborer. He was drunk during the-? night and was loud in agitating lynch law. Mats was S3 years of age and a. butcher. Keither was married. It is expeuted that the (Campbell: meeting to-day will attract a large crowd to the city an(| that there maybe seenes of violence as threats arestill being made to blow up the jail. * A FRENCH PROTECTORATE, With Exclusive Privileges On tho Island! v for the Conqueror.
