CATHODIC RAYS. More Pranks of the Wonderful Roentgen Machine An Irishman, a Tramp, a Dude. Tiie Democ rat’s improved X-ray machine has been loaned out to the Sunday Post, the wide awake paper of the Prairie city, on the Wabash, which paints everything, even itself. It has been using it with wonderful results on the Terre Hautentots. We have it at home again and have, at the request of P. F. Stoner, applied the ray to George Kelley, with the view of ascertaining what is inside of an Irishman that can vote the republican ticket. A callous lump was found in the body of Mr. K. which impairs his general health; his heart is in the wrong place; his'optic nerve is so diseased that he cannot see things as they arc; he has strabismus and has not been able to discover that the A. P. A. go hand-in-hand in warfare against the church of his people, proscribing them from every place of trust and honor. His memory is bad, and although, he has read the history of the bold attempt of the know-nothings to destroy his people and their church in America, and how the democratic party met the un-American knownothings in countless political battles and ceased not the tight until they were driven out of existence, yet he is oblivious of the fact that such events ever occurred. In siiort he was found to be in a condition of moral and physical desuetude and in an altogether hopeless condition.

INblAXA II '.ITKMM.s NEWS MATTERS TELEGRAPHED FROM OVER THE STATE.

Important Itpitm (•arnorfMl For the lit*nofit off the Kentler — Dally Ilerortl off Events of More Than Fanning; Interetlt. Minor State Notes. Bedford, lad., April 14.—A frightful accident, one of the most horrible ever occuring in this vicinity, took place early yesterday morning on the Bedford railway, which mas between this city and the stone quarries, which is used in transporting a large number of employes to and from their work, and in marketing the product . A heavy trainload of stone was being brought to tiie city, and while crossing a large trestle at a point where repairs where being made by the bridge gang, without an instant's warning the structure gave way, and the train dropped through, falling 70 feet. Tiie killed are: EdWard Bivins, bridge carpenter. John Mastersov, bridge carpenter. Walter Leonard, superintendent repair force. C. M. Ogden, conductor. John Sherman, tiremau. Charles Davis. The injured: • George T. Meiusier, engineer. The bridge gang was at work directly under the trestle where the break occurred. As soon as the alarm was given the rush for the scene was one never to be forgotten. The dead bodies were turned over to the cam of relatives as soon as released from the debris. The body of Leonard will be sent to Walton, Ky., for burial. At the time of the break the locomotive was beyond the trestle, and had it not been pulled from the track by the weight of the cars behind it, the men on the engine would have escaped; As it was. the cars went down into a ditch 75 .feet deep, and tho engine, pulled backward in spite of the momentum of the train, rolled over and plunged down the same embankment. The breaking of the trestle will block the track for some time. GRAND AH.MV I'URf AR VTIDNS.

A dude, walking along the north side with an aesthetic air, ins cane gracefully poised between thumb and linger and an imitation diamond glistening from his shirt bosom, was next experimented with. He gracefully doffed his hat to a passing lady and a red hot Roentgen ray was thrown through his head. His hair was parted in the middle to a nicety, hut there was little else to deal with about his little head. The cerebral chamber was nearly vacant. The little gray matter found there was busy determining whether it should be white rose, wild olive, tonquin musk or frangipanna odor that he would purchase in the drug store he was about to enter, ^ ^ A seedy tramp coming up North Jackson street was next turned inside out. His hat was caved in, his shoes were not mates neither were his feet for that matter , his face, neck and hands had not enjoyed near acquaintance with soap and water for many weeks. His hair was the color of that worn by a Jersey hog. His stomach contained four kinds of meat and some fish, ten biscuits, four pints of coffee and a half a loaf of bread. His brain was full of the settled idea that the world owed him a living and that it was foreordained that he should live by the sweat of other men’s brows. Just th'Ti he was meditating where he should go to find a man whom he could lead to believe that he, the hobo, had a classical education, and was an expert machinist, once {he foreman in a great factory, and Isid been crowded out of business, and was badly in need of a dime to buy something to eat the first in twenty-four hours. He begged a few exchanges at the Democrat office to help cany out the educational idea, although he did not know “B” from a bovine foot. He was referred to Ezra Champer and got the dime. The Hor*e Market At Chicago, the situation is rather better, and while prices for plugs and common workers remain low, there is a ready outlet for the best grades of draft horses, coachera and drivers. The outlook is a little more favorable for the near future, now that the season of spring activity is at hand. Prices are continued as follows: Express and heavy draft SSO' > 175 1100 to 1400-lb chunks 56'» 95 Coach and fast road norses 90 " 300 850 to 1100-lb chunks 25o< 50 Ordinary drivers 60 and upward. The Indianapolis markets are about the same.

FOUGHT IN A COURTROOM. Victim of the Encounter Has Recovered and Filed Suit Agaiiiftt the Victor. Looansport, Ind., April 15.—Fridav W. H. Burrows and J. Mummert, of Deer Creek, were in ’Squire Lee’s court to settle a personal difficulty. They became involved in a quarrel, and despite the efforts of the ’squire to maintain the dignity of the court, clinched and rolled on the floor, shouting and fighting. Burrows managed to get hold of an ax helve, and with a few well direeted blows, stn-tched Mummert ont. The latter revived in a short time, and has filed suit against Burrows. The case is being tried today. HE DOUBTS CHRISTS DIVINITY. Rev. < harleH S. Norton, h Methodid Minister, Renifciift HU Charge. Indianapolis. April 15.—Rev. Charles S. Norton, pastor of tho Methodist church of Crothersville, lias resigned his charge, because he entertains serious doubts of tiie divinity of Christ. His action is in effect a renunciation of tiie orthodox religion. Mr. Norton is 30 years of age, well educated, popular in social and ministerial circles, and he is the son of a minister of high rank in the Methodist Episcopal church. His retirement is a matter to which ho has given much thought.

Movement to Emigrate. Anderson, Ind., April 15.—There is an organized move among spiritualists and Populists in certain of the eastern Indiana counties to organize a colony and move to California. If tho present scheme is carried out the first train load will leave on Sept. 1, and will be followed by a second and third. They will charter freight trains. Among those at the head of the movement is J. A. Wertz, a newspaper man of this city. Mystery Surrounds His Death. Laporte, Ind., April 18.—Jacob Kuberua of this city was found dead on tho Grand Trunk railroad track at Wellsboro, this .county. How his death occurred is shrouded in mystery. He was waiting to take a train home, and as it was lute he walked a short distance down the track, and that was the last seen of him until his dead body was found. Knights TVmplar In Sessions

UNENDING. There is an end to kisses and t<< sighs; There* is an end to laughter and to tears, An end to fair things that delight our eyes, An end to pleasant sounds that eharm our ears, An end to enmity's foul libeling And to the gracious praise of tenth r friend; There is an end to all but one sweet thing— To love there is no end. That warrior carved an empire with bis sword. The empire now is but like him—a name. That statesman spoke, and by a burning word Kindled a nation’s heart into a flame. Now naught is left but ashes, and we bring Our homage to new men; to them we bend. There is an end to all hut one sweet thing— To love there is no end. All beauty fades away, or else, alas! Men's eyes grow dim, and they no beauty see. The glorious shows of nature pass and pass. Quickly they come; as quickly do they flee. And he who bears the voice of welcoming Hears next tho slow, sud farewell of his friend. There is an end to all hut one sweet thing— To love tin re is no end. —All the Year Round. NEW JERSEY’S OLDEST HOUSE. Built at Lyons Farms by the Original Meeker Who Left Connecticut. The old Meeker house, at Lyons Farms, is claimed by that family to be the oldest house in New Jersey—not one of the oldest, but the oldest. It is now occupied by William Guinmon, who is a lineal descendant of the original Meeker, who held his patent from the crown. There is an amusing incident connected with this patriarch which gave rise to the building of the house in question. He was originally of the Connecticut colony, and, being the owner of a small sloop, his fishing excursions sometimes extended far into the Sabbat )i day. This did not meet with the ideas of those days, so lie was fined several times, and more sevt re punishment was threatened if he did not attend divine worship regularly and cease his labors on the Lord’s day. But one dark night Meeker placeel all his goods on board his boat and sailed away. He settled in New Jersey and there erected the house which still stands. The precise year in whicli it was built is not known, bat one of Mr. Gammon's ancestors was born there in 1677. The roof of this curious old farmhouse has been renewed many times, but the side walls of cedar shingles remain asthey were pnt on by tiie old man, with hand wrought nails, more than two centuries ago and are yet in very fair condition. Inside some rooms arc wainscoted with tulip poplar. The ceilings are low. The double doors still swing on tiie strap hinges which first held them in position, while other surroundings are in strict keeping with the antiquated appearance of the place. Beside the well sweep stands a large stone, hollowed out like a basin, in which many generations have cleansed their hands and faces at the well after the fashion of former times.—New York Herald. Cork I’av.nient. The various discouragements which some of the European cities have met with iu securing satisfactory street pavements have led to somewhat extensive and, it would appear, encouraging experiments with what is called cork pavement, from the fact that cork is the most prominent and essential ingredient in tiie amalgam of which it is composed. The pavement used in Vienna consists of granulated cork mixed with mineral asphalt and other cohesive substances, compressed into blocks of suitable size and form. Among the numerous advantages set forth in its behali are cleanliness, noiselessness, durability, elasticity, freedom from slipperiness, whether wet or dry, and moderate cost. Unlike wood, too, it is nonabsorbent and consequently inodorous. It presents the minimum resistance to traction, and being elastic under passing loads does away with the vibration caused by heavy teaming. The bl< eks are imbedded in tar and rest upm a concrete base six inches thick. When taken up for examination, they hare exhibited, when compared with new ones, a reduced thickness by wear of less than one-eighth inch, this in the case of a section of a London street leading to the Great Eastt m railway station, subjected to continuous heavy traffic, the blocks having been in use nearly two years. No Time to Tie .SIio<>h. Akono of the large thread factories, where some hundreds of girls arc employed, a rule hits been made that they shall wear only buttoned shoes. It was found that those who wore tho othez sort stopped their work a number of times eueh day to tie the laces that constantly came undone. In the case of <>n< girl the minutes lost would not have been of any great consequence, but when it came to deducting the same amount of time for each of the 200 or 300 it was found that the daily loss was cousidcrable.—New York Journal.

Saw th« Ticket* Were Fsed. Miss Prim—You didn't bring your little girls to the Sunday school entertainment. • Mrs. Fussy—No, I didn’t dare to. There’s so much measles and scarlet fever around, you know. But the tickets were not wasted. "No?” "No; 1 gave them to the little boy next door. ”—Uie eland Plain Dealer. Here is mi excellent method of removing grease spots fr >m a waxed floor: Pour spirits of turpentine on the spot and give it time to soak into the wood. Then cover with powdered talc and press with a warm but not very hot iron. The talc will absorb the grease. Brush off and polish the place anew with wax. Tiie surest pleasures lie within the circle of useful occupation. Mere pleasure, sought outside of usefulness, is fraught with poison.—Beecher.

LUC IE N " tfON A FARTE. I!«* Waa tRe Ableftt *»<! Mont Courageous off the Emperor'ft llrothem. The younger brother bad. after the fir-t juvenile heats of radicalism, become a moderate n publican, holding his eonvicti’:>s resolutely. Having opposisl the hereditary consulate for Napoleon, he withdrew, unmindful of any reward he might have claimed for his services of Brumaire, to lead a life of study and cultivate his inborn literary tastes. On the death of his first wife, by whom he had two daughters, he married, in direct opposition to Napoleon’s wishes, the tH iiuriful and accomplished Mine, de Jauberthon. This was in 1808. He had been importuned to put her away and lend himself to the project of buttressing the empire by himself accepting a crown and contracting a royal marriage. He was by far the ablest and most courageous of the Bonaparte brothers, but his heart was true, his principles were fixed, and he was utterly indifferent to the rise of Napoleonic empire. It was with reluctance that he came to Mantua There are two accounts of what happened then—that which has long been accepted of Napoleon offering and Lucien hotly refusing the crown of Portugal, with the hand of Prince Ferdinand for his daughter Charlotte* and that which makes the first offer to have been Etruria B >r.h accounts agree, however, that the bid was raised to the promise of Italy—all on c nidition that he should divorce his wife and rule in the interest of his brother’s imperial power. Lucien disdained even this bribe, declaring that he would accept the cn >wu, but that he would rule in the interests of his subjects, and that he would in no case consider a divorce. Angry words were spoken. Napoleon crushed in Lis hand a watch with which he had been toying, hissing out that thus he would crush wills which opposed his. "I defy you to commit a crime,” retorted Lucien. Before parting there was a half reconciliation, and Nujh deoti requested that at least his brother’s eldest dimvht' r might be sent to Paris for use in his scheme of royal alliances. Lncirn assented, and the child, a clever girl i f about 14, was sent ty live witli Mine. Mere. She was thoroughly dis. .. i nred ami wrote bright, sarcastic letters to her sti pmother, whom she loved, depicting the avarice of her grandmother and the foibles of her other n latives. These, like all other suspected letters of the time, were intercepted and road in the "cabinet noir. ” Their contents being made known to Napoleon, he sent the petulant, witty writer back to her father. Despairing of any support from Lucien or his family, Napoleon formally ad pted his stepson Eugene, the viceroy, with a view to consolidating and confirming the Italian feeling of dependence on France.—Professor Sloane’s “Life of Napoleon” in Century.

AUSTRIA’S BAR3ERS. —• They Mont lie Apprenticed Three Year« and Pom* Examination. The Austrians take no Clnuioes with their barbers. They must be good, and the Barbers and Wigmakers’ union of Vienna sees to it that they are. Pa .vision is also made in their code for women barbers who desire to carry on the business of their husbands in case of the hitters’ death or illness. But in order to do this the wife must have been enrolled in the tinion as an apprentice for three years. Apprentices by the mlcs of tiie unit n, must appear in Vienna in the presence of judges of the union and show their skill before they are allowed to open shops of their own. A properly certified burls-r must have a knowledge of and pass an examination in shaving, hair cutting, hair curling and wigmaking, anil daring the period before the issuance of a certificate the poor and others who are frugal serve as subjects for experiment. At tiie examination the young men have their razors dulled by four strokes in a pine plank, and they must then sharpen them. A subject is assigned to each, who must be tousorially perfect, in the opinion of the judg: s, when the apprentice has released him. After this a certificate is issued and the apprentice serves two years as a journeyman before he may open a shop as an employer. The average age of apprentices when they begin to learn their trade is 13 years.—St. Louis Post-Dis-natch.
