STATE NEBS NOTES

Incidents and Accidents and Doings of Note Throughout Hoosierdom. SPIRITS IX A FLAM Biar Distillery On Fire at Terre Haute Causes a Fierce Sunday Blaze and Heavy Damage. Four Firemen are Seriously Hurt While Engaged la F&htiug' the Flames. Terre Haute, Ind.. Dec. 2. An ex plosion at the cistern house of the Merchants' distillery, the independent house, and the fire which followed Sunday afternoon, caused a loss of $20,000, and four men were injured. The big tanks of spirits were at once ablaze and made a hot fire. When the firemen were at work an explosion of whisky In a subcellar threw four men on one line of hose violently to the ground. The loss is fully covered by Insurance. The distillery was being operated at a capacity of 25,000 gal lons a day. It is expected to be run temporarily at about one-fifth that capacity. There is no clue as to the cause of the mysterious explosion which is of unprecedented character about a distillery. BOUGHT A Ol'FLlCATE Saloon keeper Buy a "Remonstrance" Which Didn't KemoiiHtrate. Nashville, Ind., Dec. 2. Some of the men of Morgan county have been making an effort to establish a retail liquor house in Nashville for nearly a year, but have repeatedly met with organized and almost unanimous opposition and defeat, the last and recent defeat involving an increased cost to the saloon men. In view of the solid sentiment against the traffic the saloon men ventured to capture the remonstrance paper, paying over to the individual circulating the petition the snug sum of $50 on condition that he destroy the petition in advance of the day of hearing before the county commissioners. The money was collected and the remonstrance duly turned to smoke and ashes, but it developed that the original paper had been filed in safe hands and that It was only a worthless duplicate that had been destroyed. City Umes Out. Rockville, Ind., Dec. 2. The jury H the case of the celebrated Ohio street .opening, venued here from Terre Haute, the Evansville & Terre Haute Railroad vs. the City of Terre Haute, returned a veraict for $60,000 in favor of the plaintiff. The opening of Ohio street through the yards of this railroad has been in controversy and court for several years, and the railroad claimed about $134,000 damages. The case will probably be carried to the supreme court. Trespassing Charged Elkhart. Ind., Dec. 2 W. H. Maxwell of Angola, Ind., who has the contract for building the $35,000 Carnegie library in this city has had two union masons arrested for trespass, in visiting the site of the library and taunting the non-union men there employed. One of the accused. John Esberg. pleaded not guilty, but was convicted and assessed $17. The other defend ant, Andrew Peterson, has not yet ! been arraigned. A Particular t lerk. Indianapolis, Dec. 2. The clerk of the supreme court has refused to file 3.2VH) pages of typewritten briefs that were presented, because each p:ige, instead of being nine inches long and seven inches wide, as required by the rules of the court, were five-eighths of an inch too "brief" each way. The briefs were bound in pamphlet and appeared to have been trimmed at a bindery. Meter Not Satist'actorv. Wabash. Ind., Dec. 2. The first month of consumption of natural gas by meter in Wabash ended Saturday night. The records of the metrs varies almost as many times as there are consumers, and there is wide diversity of opinion relative to the cost of gas under the new system.

Grand Ju. Will true Strangling fane at tCvaii-ville. Evansville, Ind., Dec. 2. Wilbur S. Sherwell, the Evansville policeman arrested two weeks ago at the insanc; of the coroner on a charge of having murdered Mrs. Georgia Railey aai Miss Lcsi x.cnner, was held to the grand jury Saturday af.er a preliminary trial that L.ed nearly ail day. The presiding judge was Justice Poole and the hearing was in the circuit 'court room, in to which several hundred curious persons crowded. Large numbers of others were unable to gain admittance but hung about the court building throughout the trial. Nothing particularly new war brought out in the trial beyond what was adduced at the coroner's inquest over the body of the murdered wo men. A large number of witnesses were heard and the whole story of Sherwell's conduct on the night of the murders was reviewed. After the state had introduced 11 witnesses the prosecution rested. The defense stat ed that it had no evidence to offer and had no statement to make. The court then bound the prisoner over to circuit court without bail, and he was taken back to jail. During the entire -proceedings Sherwell maintained his usual calm and unconcern and was regarded as the coolest person in the court room. The result of the preliminary hearing has strengthened the general belief that Sherwell Is a guilty man. A Singular Suit. Indianapolis, Dec. 2. A claim for $11,945.20 has been filed against the estate of Helen J. Tate by Mary Brooks, who claims to have been indentured to Mrs. Tate as an apprentice to learn housekeeping in 1868 and served her as a domestic and waiter In her resort for 27 years. She avers that she did not learn until recently that she had been indentured, but was made to believe that she was an adopted child. It is charged that she was not allowed to attend school and as a consequence is unable to read or write. She demands S5.0U0 dam ages. The claim for her services about the house complete the amount of the demand. Found Iii the Cistern. Brazil, Ind., Dec. 2. The body of Julia Mullinx, 30 years of age, was found in an old and abandoned cis tern at the home of her father, John Sharp, at Asherville. Her husband was killed two years ago in an accident while hauling gravel, and since that time Mrs. Mullinx has worried a great deal. It is believed she committed suicide while in a state of temporary insanity. Probably Fratricide. Greenfield, Ind., Dec. 2. Saturday night Robert Glascock of Cleveland, a village six miles east of here, was shot and probably fatally wounded by his 18-year-old son Arthur. Glascock had been drinking, and the shooting followed a quarrel with his son over some work, during which the father threatened to kill the boy with a knife. Fell to His leatb. Vincennes, Ind., Dec. 2. At Oaklawn, Knox county, Henry Knapps fell into a corn bin in an elevator and was crushed to death. Foiled the Bobbers. Lima. O.. Dec. 2. Harry Greer, night station operator at Bluffton. 14 miles east, was at work when three men burst open the doer, revolvers in hand. Greer, instead of obeying orders to hold up his hands, rose and leaped out of another door. The men opened fire, several bullets taking ef- j feet in different parts of Greer's body, but it is not thought there will be so-j rious results. Suall Sulfides. j Colon. Dec. 2. Affairs are uneventful at Colon and Panama. Both Lib-; orais and C mservatives ara gradually ; resuming their customary intercourse and fraternizing the one with the ; other. There is no undue boasting cn the part of the victors nor ill-conceal- j ed hatred on the part of those who sympathized with the vanquished. Corsequently there have been no disturbances nor unseemly behavior. Several Small tlnjfagement. Manila, Dec. 2. Several engagements have occurred in Batangas province in the last few days. The forces of the insurgent leader Caballos have become badly demoralized. His followers are broken up into several small bands. Caballos holds two American prisoners. Valley Forge Not Forsrotten. Washington. Dec. 2. Early in the week Senator Penrose and Representative Wanger of Pennsylvania will introduce bills for the acquisition of Valley Forge and its incorporation into a national park as a memorial of the most historic places of revolutionary days. Situation Well In Hand. Pittsburg. Dec. 2. Reports from the managers and operators of the different railroads affected by the switchmen's strike assert that they have the situation well in hand and that the new men who have taken strikers' places are now working to good advantage. Killed Bv Fly Wheel. Muskegon. Mich.. Dec. 2. James Tate, engineer, waa killed by the bursting of a flywheel at the plant of the Central Paper company here Sunday. The building was damaged $3.000. and 150 men will be thrown out of employment far some time.

ECf TUI'.KK I.lVtS LOST

Reported Ferry li-aster At San Fran. cico Not So ScrioM. San Francisco, Dec. 2. So fir as can no be determined enly three lives were lost in Saturday night's collision between the ferryboats San Rafael and Sausalito. Those drowned were: W. G. CraadaU. secretary of the Long Syrup works; George Treiway, a waiter on the San Rafael, and a 3-year-old son of Mrs. Waller c: Ross Valley. The body of Crandail was washed ashore at Angel Island Sunday. In he panic that followed the collision about 20 passengers were more r less injured. Many were cut when crawling through the cabin windows. Mrs. Waller of Ross Valley was on the San Rafael with her two little children, a boy and a girl. The girl, Ruth, was safely carried from the San Rafael to the Sausalito by William Boyd of the North Pacific Coast Railroad company, when the two steamers were locked together. Mrs. Waller had the little boy In her arms and waa going below to safety when the sinking steamer gave a sudden ftirch and the little fellow was thrown from her arms into the bay and sank out of sight. Tredway was pinioned by the splintering timbers when the Sausalito struck and after some difficulty was extricated. He was hurried to the upper deck of the injured vessel, and that was the last seen of him. According to the survivors if there were more than three persons drowned it will not be known for several days. No other persons are reported missing. At least 200 people were on the San Rafael. After the boats struck the Sausalito was brought up alongside tie sinking San Rafael. It was 15 minutes at least before the latter vessel went down. This gave ample time to transfer the most of the passengers, -here is a discrepancy in the statements of Captain Tribble of the Sausalito and Captain McKenzie of the San Rafael concerning the circumstances immediately preceding the collision. Captain Tribble says that the vessels bore on each other's port bows when first sighting each other, while Captain McKenzie says it was the starboard bow. Of the many heroic stories told in connection with the accident, notably is the one relating to Fireman GieIow of the aSusalito. As the San Rafael was sinking it was remembered that her fires were still burning and her boilers still hot. Tnere was imminent danger of a terrible explosion that would have rent both vessels asunder. Without a moment's hesitation Gielow volunteered to dive into the hull and shut off the steam. Diving through the submmerged boiler room, he reached the valves and shut off the steam, coining out tialf .suffocated. James S. McCue, the well known horseman and old-time circus man. who lives at Corte Madera, was probably the most seriously injured of the survivors. His right arm was broken, his right car almost torn from his head, and he sustained internal injuries. Double Xrasjeily It an to Drink. Petersburg, Ind.. Dec. 2. During a drunken quarrel late Saturday Fred Watson shot and fatally wounded his friend and companion, Harry Cummins, and then turned the revolver on himself and blew out his own brains. The young men were farm hands and they received tueir wages Saturday for husking corn and came to Petersburg and began drinking and carousing. They spent the day in visiting the various resorts and late in the afternoon started to their homes. about four miles from the town, in a wagon. They had gone only a short distance when they began quarreling and fighting. Cummins drew a revolver and shot his opponent four times, fatally wounding him. The terrible deed sobered Watson, and he turned the weapon on himself, blowing out his own brains. Watson died instantly, and Cummins lived but a few hours. Dutch Brutality Punished. Berlin, Dec. 2. A private dispatch received here from Cameroons. West Africa, says that a merchant named ittenberg has been sentenced to five years in the penitentiary there for imt.aling a negro on a ramrod. A merchart named Keltenich has also been sentenced to three years in the pen for pouring petroleum on a negro's hands and then setting him on fire. Another merchant named Haesloop has been sentenced to eight months iu jail for destroying the eyes of a negro chief with a whip. Jndae Sccres the Jury. Modena. Utah, Dec. 2. The jury at Pioche. Nev.. returned a verdict of assault and battery against seven of the persons accused of participation in the recent hanging of the negro Ellis at Fay. Nev. Judge Talbot in his charge to the jury instructed them to either return a verdict of guilty of j assault with intent to kill or one of I acquittal. When the verdict was read j in court the judge scored the jury for returning such a verdict. The men ; will be sentenced Monday. Both Stories Confirmed. Amsterdam. Dec. 2. The statement that Queen Wilhelmina's aide de camp. Major VanTot, is suffering from peritonitis and not from the effects of a duel fought with the consort. Prince Henry, is confirmed. The assertion that Queen Wilhelmina's recent illness was caused by the premature birth of a child is also con-armed.

JIM MARTIN A Hero of the Galveston Moria. cr CITSESHE 1). srmscTis Jim Martin's father was of a rovins disposition, so after moving about half a dozen times cr uiore in the northern states he decided to take his family and fro south, as he expressed it. "to seek Lis fortune." J;i:i va then a boy about eight or teu ia;s of age. the youngest of six children. Already be could build a ties bouse, a dovecot and even help his father iu many ways. His talent pleased the old geutieman immensely, for bethought to be a good carpenter was all and everything that one could desire. At Erst they located iu Louisiana, and then after accumulating and los Ing ni'icb of 'this world's goods" they moved to Texas. All went well until the yellow fever broke out all over the south In a terrible epidemic, t-uttiuc down thousands of victims in it awful march. When at last it bad sent Its fury. Jim Martin came back to life, only to find that be was alone father, mother, brothers and sisters all bad fallen prey to the "yellow demon. Jim bad a brave heart, but this seemed almost more than be could bear. As health and strength came buck to bint bis spirits rose, and he set altout his old trade. He was considered one of the best carpenters In Galveston. And for so young a man. be was a marvel. Neatness, strength and beauty were all combined in his work iu fact. Jim i bad more than he could do. Every- j body wanted his advice when they i could not get his work. It was a com- j mon saying that "Jim Martin's father's j houses stood the storm of 1S70 without i so much as the loss of a shingle, and be can do better work than his father." And so it happened that Jim made monvy and friends and became a fa vorite with the Galveston people. It was in the spring of 1S!2 when it occurred to him lie was getting along in years and he who bad built so many bouies for others ought to have oue of bis own. He knew the woman he wanted to share it with him. so after getting her consent be cast his eyes about for the proper 'ovation. The gulf of Mexico bad a strange fascination for biiu. He loved lo gaze on its glasslike surface iu calm, and he was equally charmed when it rolled beyond its shore. So with love In his heart for this wonderful, beautiful but treacherous body of water he selected a snot only two blocks from its shore for a home. At the end of the year the bouse was complete, and such a house, for substantiality at least, had never before been built on the island. The enormous chimneys were started away ilown in tbe grouud. and plenty of shell was used in the mortar to make them strong enough to stand the wind and weather. Jim married and took his wife to the beautiful new home. There they lived until Sept. 8. l'JOO. when a storm wherein a cyclone and burricpne combined swept over the gulf and extended into the state of Texas more or less for nearly a hundred miles. Wednesday morning. Sept. 5. as Jim was passing the signal station he saw a young doctor looking at the map which was made for the Cotton Exchange, lie heard hin remark. "The barometer is low. the wind is from the northeast, and the whole map pretty plainly shows cyclonic disturbances to the south or southeast of Key West. When tbe doctor passed on. Jim walked up to the man who was making the map and asked. "Are there any sigu of a cyclone?" "There are." be answered, "but our office has received no notice of the kind." Jim thought of the storm of 1S73 and shook his head. "Don't want to see another. be remarked to himself. Had be known that tbe coming storm was to make the one of 1S7." appear as nothing he might have done differently, but all uncon sciously he passed on to his work. At j noon he went to his home and ate a substantial men I. As he passed out at ! be front door he said to his wife, who I stood by his side: "MoIIie. they say ! there are some signs of a cyclone. I ! haven't anything of importance to do j this afternoon, so I'm going down to the jrulf to see how she looks. I'll be back in a little while." When he reached the shore, he was astonished to see that, while tbe wind was in the north, the tide was running high, which was never the case with north winds. Thursday he again vis ited the gulf and found much the same condition of things. Friday the wind was still from the north, and as night came on it increased in violence, tbe tide was high end tbe gulf very rough. Again he went to tbe beach, gazed long on her turbulent surface, then walked briskly home. "Mollie." he clled out. "come, look at our old friend. 1 have never seen her so wild nd rough since 1S75. and do you notice the peculiar hazy appearance that generally precedes a great storm." "Yes. Jim. it does look like a storm: -pt. please God. we don't have another like tbe one of 1S73." Jim felt a little anxious all night. As early as 0 o'clock Saturday tnorn'ng be arose and hastened to the beach. The tiae seemed to be at a standstill, but while he stood wondering bow it WMild end the tide began to rise and was soon over the street railway tricks. He went back to bis home, tcld Mollie not to be frightened, tbat be wts going op town to learn what the people thought of tbe weather. By 12 o'clock tbe wind bad increased and fis Mowing between forty and fifty m'les an hour. After talking to half a dozen or more and Suiting that very few felt any alarm be went to the wharf front. The wind bad shifted a point or two east of north and was blowing more than sixty miles an hour.

iiie oaywaier was oer lue v tu.il and was crtrwuhlijg o-o the Strand, and all the low places were inundated. At 3 o'clock he went home aui was not a little shocked to End tii.lt. while his lot and sidewalk were raised live or six feet above the street level, the wa ter was within sis or eiirM feet of his front door. He watched it slowlj creeping up. Mollie came out on the porch. Her face wore a troubled expression. "Jim." she said, "do you think the water will reach our house'" .Ne." he replied; "but if it does it won't hurt it. for I l.niit this Louse to stay." At 4:30 the wind was blowing at a terrible rate, aud the ueipblHtr were nocking to Jim's house asking for shelter, for they feared iheir own little homes could not weather the storm. Now the

water was rapidly tiowing dowu the avenue to the west, aud on its breast It bore boxes, barrels aud small shanties. It was only 6:30. but darkness was fast falling, when suddenly tbe water rose four or five feet at a liound and was now two feet on tbe ground floor of Jim's residence. Mollie liegued Jim to come np stairs, but he was busy nailing up windows and doors and making things more secure lielow. TU be up there directly. Mollie. Yon stay there and try to quiet the folks." The bouse was filled with sobs, cries and prayers. The wind had Increased, and Its shrieks and groans were awful to hear. And now the debris sped by with fearful rapidity, bearing not only boxes and barrels, but large bams and bouses. A cry arose above the dreadful din of the wind, water and crashing tlmliers. Jim looked out. Iu the uncertain light he saw the ! figure of a nun. clinging to a large Ikjx ! with oue hand and holding close to her 1 heart with the other a little girl. The fiice of the nun stood out from Its black drapery Iu bas-relief and white as the face of death, but resolute and firm. Jiiu saw the frail piece of debris to which she clung tip. dip and sway from its course. Another blast of wind, and it struck tbe corner of his veranda aud brol' into small fragments. The nun disappeared for an instant, then rose. The air was under her long black cloak, and as it spread out It acted as a life preserver. For alxiut twelve feet she floated with tremendous speinh and as Jim's eye followed the flying figure he saw her suddenly stop aud cling to the post at the west end of the veranda. Quick as thought be raised his great hammer, broke out the window aud plunged into the water almost up to bis armpits. It was a desperate struggle to keep from being swept on with tbe mighty current, but be pressed close to the side of the house till he was just opposite the post where the brave wo man clung, ins great iear now was that she would be blown off before lie could reach tier, and how so frail a teIng could bold on with only one arm (for she still held to the child) was a mystery to liitn. The wind was blowing at 100 miles an hour. He wilted a second for the blast to pass over. then, with great effort, crossed the veranda. He threw one arm around the post, the other around the nun and tried to lift her. but to his utter consternation be found he could not. Twice, thrice be tried, but to no avail. He saw that she was not only conscious, but In full possession of all her faculties. He could see her lips move, but no word reached him above the deafening roar. He put his ear close to her mouth and caught two words, "cloak aud post." Jim .comprehended the situation the wind and water had caught her long cloak and wide skirt and twisted theui j around the post until she was lashed to it so firmly that even big Jim could not loose her. but his bead must take the place of bis strength. He whipped out his knife and while he held her with his left arm he cut away the garment. With the last stroke of the knife she rose, and Jim almost lost his bold, and now another frightful blast, and the water rose four feet. He clung to his post until he recovered breath, then struck out toward the window, swim ming with oue arm and holding the nun with the other. He found it Impassible to get back to the window on the south, so. with almost superhuman effort, he swam to the west side and caught hold of a swinging blind. They were now somewhat sheltered from the wind and entirely from the current. He pressed his body against the wall and raised the nun in bis arms and placed her on the window sill. He felt for bis hammer; but. oh. despair, it had slipped from his pocket in the awful struggle for life on the veranda! The window must be broken In. be must get up stairs with his double burden. It took only time enough for the brain to telegraph the message to the hand before Jim raised his huge fist and struck tbe glass a mighty blow, then another and another, until he could get through the opening. Tbe blood was flowing from many a cut. but what was that to a man like Jim Martin? He got inside and found the! water was now feur feet deep. He held the nan -so a-3-to keep her head above water, while in ber turn she held tbe ! child in like manner. Then they press ed forward, ascending till they reached the second story. Mollie gave a cry of joy and clung to her husband. "Yon are nil right here. Mollie. Take care of the little woman and child. They are all bnt dead. I must go down stairs and try to fix up the windows I broke out. It was dark, but he could see tbe tops of houses just above tbe water. As he gazed out of tbe window a terrible thought struck him. "Will my bouse stand, or will It. like all the rest, be swpt away?" Suddenly the m'ml veered round to the south, and. strange as it may seem, increased in violence. The water rose

Dyspepsia What's the toss of a good cook If there's a bad stomach a stomach too weak properly to digest what is taken into it ? The owner of such a stomach experiences distress after eating, nausea between meals, and is troubled with belching and fits of nervous headache he's dyspeptic and miserable. "I hava been troubled with dyspepsl and have suffered almost everything. I have tried many different remedies, but could get no relief until I began taking Hood' Sarsaparilla. After the use of this medicine I could eat without distress, and today I am as well as ever, but I alway keep Hood's Sarsaparilla on hand." Ma. J. A. CaowKix. Canajobarie, S. V.

six feet at a Jump. Jim was hurled against tbe Ride wall and then back. H- kept himself afloat while he tried to get his bearings. lie then struck out for the stairs. Three or four strokes, and he reached the top one. for the water was now within one foot of the second floor. He waa obliged to sit dowu for a moment In order to regain his. breath. The cries tr the childrcu and the sob3 of tbe wonieu mingled, while outside the sounds were like tbe demoniacal cries of triumphant Ueud and the walling of lost sou is. All realized now mat the end was uenr. Nothlug that man was able; to construct could stand the fearful wiud and water. Jim worked like a hero, tore off the doors ami lashed one after another to them. Mollie. with many others, sunk down iu mute despair. The white faced nun worked, too. at binding fast to doors and blinds tiie terrified people. At last she took tbe child lu her arms. Her eyes wore a determined expression, and her mouth was set firm, "i promised her mother to defend ber with my life, and I must keep my promise." The wind was now blowing at least 120 miles an hour. Now another terrific blast, the bouse shuddered, creaked, rose from Its foundation like a gigantic bird. Thump, thump, against the great chimney in the center, then the timbers yielded, and Jim Martin's house rushed away luariug with it Its human freight. Jim found himself struggling In the water. "Mollie. Mollie," be called, but no reply reached hi ear. She. with many others, had goue beyond the reach of human voice. He threw out bis hand and caught at tbe flying denrta and tuK-cexded in laying hold of a small log. Bruised and cut almost beyond recognition, with the wind beating the raiu against him until he was almost frozen, he struggled for his life. He was rushed on like a fast flying train, block after block. Just as he felt he must soon land or drop into tbe water something struck the end of his log ami hurled it from his grasp. With the instiuct of a drowning man. he caught at the object. It proved to be the roof of a small building, and clinging to it was a woman holding a child. The black veil was gone, the small arms bare, and only the white band over the forehead left to tell Jim that it was the little nun whose life be had once saved. With her fast falling strength she lifted up the little girl to him. lie stretched his hand toward ber. but she waved bira back. As he eanght the child In his arms the nun saw it was safe, a smile broke over her face, her fingers slipped from the roof, and she was swept away on the rushing tide. The next day, when the searching parties found the body of a nun, they wondered why her face, even in death, wore so sweet a smile. But how could they know she had kept her promise and defended the child with her life? Jim was an unusually strong, muscular man. Alone he might have saved himself, even after the hours of desperate struggle, but with the child be had very little chance. Now. as the wind raged and howled, he thought he heard, borne on Its breath. "Drop the baby." He was so terrified by the unholy thought that be pressed it closer to hl3 side. "No! No! She defended it with her life; I will do no less than a woman!" And so it happened, when the body of a man. holding close In tils arms the form of a dead child, was piled on the dray with scores of others! then carried to the wharf, placed on the barge and taken out to the channel, there to rest until tbe sea gives up its dead, that a bystander remarked. "No doubt but that big fellow lost his life trying to save the baby." Bohemian. Hladoo Women. Hindoo women wear very beautiful and when wealthy very costly Jewelry. They wear a large ring In the nose, quite a number on each ear, and evei so many bangles on the arms and wrists, also massive gold and sllvet anklets and rings on each toe. These rich ornaments are very becoming, and the women naturally think a great deal of them. But widows are not allowed any ornaments at all. nor must they wear colors. The condition of women with living husbands is not much better. They must never look upon tbe face of any other man. so that they are not allowed to leave their homes, and these homes, even among the rich, are not pretty In the least. The small dingy rooms have bare walls and hardly any furniture, and look upon dreary interior yards without a vestige of trea
