A Funny Old Story

Tom Marshall was engaged in the trial '•of a case in the interior of Kentucky, when a decision of the Judg© struck him as so bad that he rose and said: "Tin-re never was such a ruling as that aincc Pontius Pilate presided on the trial of Christ."

Mr Clrrk," responded the Judge, "fine Mr. Marshall $10 for contempt oi court." •'I confess, your Honor,' continue* Tom, "that what I said was a little hard on Pcntius Pilate, but it is the first time in the history of Kentucky jurisprudence that it is held to speak disrespectfully of Pontius Pilate is contempt otcouit."

Mr. Clerk, mskejthe fine $20 for a •ontinued contempt," said the Judge solemnly. "Well,Judge,"Tom added, "as you •won all my money last night at poker, len^ me the twenty."

"Mr.

Clerk"'cried the Judge hastily

"remit the fine. The state can afford to loae the money bettor than I can." "I congratulate the court upon its return to a sane condition," said Tom, resuming his seat amid roars of laughter.

When Davy Crockett was in Washington he was one day sitting in a betel toasting his shins when a senator from Massachusetts entered.

Approaching the old frontierman the latter said. "Crockett, a large procession of your constituents are marching up the street. You ought to go out to meet them."

Crockett hurriedly arose and went out on the hotel steps, when a large drove of mules caught his rye. He silently WHtchcd them until the last one had passed, and then returned to his seat by the atovc. The Massachusetts senator was fit ill sitting there, and as the redoubtable Davv dropped into his chair, asked: "Weil, did you see your friends?" "Oil, yes," was the response "They are looking remarkable well, too." "Did you ascertain their destination?" "Certainly, sir." "And where are they tyoing in such a solid body?'1

Crockett turned to the senator with a quiet calm expression, and replied: "The blamed foals are going down lo Massachusetts to teach «chool."

And then they gazed a moment into each other's faces and then sadly walked up to exercise the barkeeper awhile.

Distribution of the Laws.

It is probable now that the new laws may be circulated at an early day, as a decision by ihe Supreme Court in the case of Brown vs. Bailey, XYI Indiana Reports, pages 4(5-8, giv«s a foundation for the .statement made in yesterday's paper, that a "bound copy" delivered to the various county clerks and receipted forbv them will constitute a distribution. This will give an opportunity to the Secretary of Suite to quickly circulate the laws by mailing or sending by express, one copy to each remote county as soqn «s a few volumes may be had from the printer.

The receipts for the single copies could soon be obtained and the law declared in force under the decision cited above. It is believed that under this method the circulation could be greatly expedited, and yet leave no room for chicanery or chance to deny that the laws were in force. Secretary Hawn is out of tlje city but is expected back the latter part of the week. It is hoped that a part of the State's quota of books will then be ready and that the Secretary will adopt the above plan for their distribution.

THE TEERE HAUTE

W. R. McKEEN.

He is Imterviewed by a Correspondent of tbe Cincinnati Commercial

And Gives His Views on Corn, Whiskey, and the Repeal of the Internal Revenue Laws

[The Indianapolis correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial sent to that paper the following interview with our towns man, W. R. McKsen. He makes several statements concerning corn, the area in which it is produced, the extent of its production and the usos to which it is put that eontains some interesting and important facts, not hitherto generally understood. His concluding remarks, in which he advocates a repeal of the tax on whiskey because it works a hardship on the raisers of corn, a no*tl idea to say the least oi it. If it is his notion that this seductive beverage would sell at the price it now brings if the tax was repealed, and that the money or any part of it which now goes into the national treasury from the pockets of the consumers would then go to the farmers, he is cherishing a fallacy which can hold up its head and march shoulder to shoulder with the old flat money theory of the late Greenback party. Whiskey at anywhere from ten to twenty eents a gallon, as it was in the olden times before it was taxed, would bring about an enormous increase in its consumption, and that would raise the pric« of corn, but Mr McKeen, if that is his plan, is so far the only person who has expressed a desire to bull the corn market by bearing whiskey. But this is a digression. Tho interview with him was as follows:—ED GlZ.]:-.V

COLTN

is a produet which just now is ^gi^iAg the attontioa of soma of the practical men ofthe United States. The other day 1 was talking with W. R. MtKsen, banker and railway manager, in regard to the short corn crop of the country, when he asked: "Did you ever think how limited the corn-producing area of the world is?-' "Can't say that I have but if you have, tell me of it." "The corn belt of the United States is very small. It extends from the south side of the Lakes down to about Louisville, and from the west side of the Alleghany Mountains to the eastern line of Kansas—say about two hundred miles wide bv six hundred miles long. In the old world it takes in a strip of couutiy along the Danube about one hundred and fifty miles wide by four hundred miles long, embracing paits of Hungary, Bulgaria and Transylvania. Over there it is used only as food for animals, and owing to the redundant population, which causes other uses to be made of the ground, the proportionate acreage does not amount to more than half of what we grow in the United States. Now look at the uses we make of corn. Whiskey, glucose, starch, bread, and food for the hogs and cattle. To-day starch made at Madison in this State finds a market in the cotton weavers of England, where it has superseded the wheat starch of Continental Europe, and as the demand increases, and it has more than doubled in the past ten years, it must increase the value of the article from which it is made. You can make one-tliiid more starch from a bushel of corn than from a bushel of wheat.

WHISKEY

also consumes an immense quantity of corn, and until corn has reached a greater price than all other grain, will continue to be made from corn. The most of the whiskey made in the United States is made within the corn belt which I have described. Corn at one dollar ptr bushel is cheaper as the base of whiskey than wheat at the same price. Glucose is a new article of commerce, and yet the demand has outgrown the supply. And think of the quantity of corn which goes into hominy and bread. Why, I remember when Mr. Hewitt said, in Congress, that 'we should seud cooks to the International Exhibition at Paris to teaih the Old World how to make corn bread,* that he was laughed at, and yet he said what will come in time, that the poor people of Europe will learn to eat torn, and thus rive us an additional market and price or this Western production. Chemists have only recently learned that wheat can never compete with corn at the same price per bushel for any of the purposes for which they are now used. The wheat growing area of the earth is eight times greater than the corn growing area, hence in less than ten years com lands will be worth more than wheat or cotton lands, and corn will sell for as much per pound as wheat. The average yield of wheat per acre, throughout the world, including Russia, the Mediterranean and along the Nile does not exceed twelve hundred pounds, while the average yield of corn is about tw»nty-Mt en hundred pounds. And this suggests one thing which I want to mention just here, ana that is *. .. THE BMPKAL OF THE IXTEBXALI RBVBXUE

LAWS,

which are oppressive to but but one class —the corn and tobacco growers. None of che productions of cotton or cane are subject to any revenue tax, and as the bulk of our tax of that nature is raised from spirits alo^e, it comes out of the corn crop. The tax on whiskey comes out of the farmer i.i^tead of iliu distiller. If the tax was removed the demand would be the tame for spirits, and the result would be an increase in the prieeof corn. The crv which some would raise, tint it would ^Mdiefit the distiller, is a mistake." "But we want to pay th* national debt, and we need the internal revenue system to do it," I said. "If the debt must be paid then impose a tax which will bear equally on all sections and not exact the most of it from the farmers of Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois and Missouri. But I do not see the neeesaity for the immediate payment of the debt. We need the bonds as a basis for our bank circulation and investments

'From

the Hew York San.

LOH« BRAHCH, Aug. 25.—There is a deal of excitement here over the death of Mrs. Kate Griggs, the wife ofC. R. Griggs, the contractor and lessee of the Wheeling and Lake Erie Railroad, from blood poisoning caused by using an antifat medicine. The following facts were obtained from the mother of Mrs. Griggs:

On the 11th of August Mr. Griggs and his wife came to the West End Hotel and engaged a suite of rooms in the Cliff, a portion of the annex to the hotel. Mrs Griggs was then in perfect health. On the morning of the 13th inst. a servant, entering her room, found her lying in a swoon on the floor. Dr. Hunt of West End wat summoned, but all his efforts to bring her out of tbe comatose state into which she had fallen weie fruitless for a long time.

Mr. Griggs finally telegraphed for Dr. Sass of New York, the family physican. For awhile both doctors were puzzled, and pronounced the case one of erysipelas Mrs. Griggs was very stout, and Dr. Sass, learning that she hsd been taking an antifat medicine, began treating her for blood poisoning. In her lucid moments she told Dr. Sass that she had taken eighteen bottles of the anti-fat medicine in ten months. Recently she became ill, and had discontinued its use. Once before Mrs. Griggs was taken sick after using this medicine, and the doctor, after great trouble, succeieded in giving her relief. He told her that continued use of the medicine would certainly cause death, aud supposed that she had stopped using it.

The combined efforts of both physicians to save Mrs. Griggs's life were of no avail. Surrounded by her mothers and sisters, and her husband, who idolized her, she died in great agony this morning. Her last words were: "Mother, there's rest in the lonely, lonely grave."

At Owingsville this state, the farm over which there has been such bitter contest for ownership between Thompson Jones and Daniel Gellan for a number of years, is again the scene of a most dastardly attempt at assassination.

Mrs. McClure has beenjying very low for several weeks and dying night before last was buried yesterday. Although the parties interested have made every effort to keep the factsfrom the public, but by persistent pleadings a reporter was enabled to gain the particulars. It seems that James Boyd, brother of Mrs. McClure, was watching by her bedside aud when bending over htr some wretch sneaked up to the window, and lired at Boyd through the window shattering the window glass, the ball passing over the intended victim's head and hurrying itself in the opposite wall. Boyd ran out to see who the would be assassin was and on stepping out of doors was fired at again, the ball missing its mark.

The current belief is that his neighbors, believing that he abused his wife and cruelly treated her. About month since a party of men broke int is house in the middle of the night, bound, gagged tarred and feathered him and threatened bis life if he did not chsfnge his course. On the night in question bis wife was absent and the house wast again visited but by whom is not known. The body was found hanging-in the barn next morning with a cut over the left eye penetrating the skull, sufficient to cause instant death, also a cut on the back part of the head one leg dislocated tho back badly bruised all indications point to a terrible struggle. The body was covered with blood presenting a sickening sight. The murdered man was about 55 years old and a bachelor since last 8pring.

At this stage the matter beeame extremely interesting and perplexing to the board, and it was deemed best that an advisory committee of citizens be appointed to assist. The gentlemen selected were Dr. B. F. Swafford, a Democrat William Warren, a Republican Phillip Newhart, a National, all three highly respected citizens of the county. About the 20th of May the balloting on the plans commenced, and three days were spent in useless labor. Over a hundred ballots were taken and no decision arrived at, and becoming fatigued the advisory committee withdrew, the board going it alone, and finally, June 20, ordering that Eppingbausen and Buntiug be made joint architects. These gentlemen endeavoied to agree, but finally concluded to disagree. Bunting says that Eppingbausen wanted to be chief architect in order to control the letting ot contracts, but that he deeming the latter incompetent, did not want to be held responsible for his acts. Eppinghausen says Bunting's statement is false, snd that he made the following proposition: That Bunting should become chief architect, and Eppingbausen would be superintendent of woik and consulting architect, or vice versa, Eppinghausen to be chief architect and Bunting superintendent of work and consulting architect, and an agreement was to be signed that each be fesponsible for his own aots. Such a contract was drawn up, says Mr. Buff, counsel for Eppinghausen, and taken to Bunting to sign, but he refused, stating that he would withdraw after the plans were completed and the contracts let, leaviug Eppinghaused alone. Mr. Buff says, further that Eppinghausen came to consult with him about this latter proposition that the matte* was talked over fully, and that Xppioghausen seemed to be afraid of Patrick Shannon, who had been influential in keeping Bunting in the field, Bunt ing's proposition being to withdraw after the contracts were let, and that Shannon would use his influence in tbe letting of contracts to the detriment ot himself. Mr. Buff also says that Eppingbausen had an enterview'with Mr. Bunting about the matter, ana tliat Bunting gave him to understand that Shannon was all right. Eppinghausen concluded to withdrawal together, and so notified the board on the 25th of June. Judge McNutt, the attorney of the board, brought the matter before theai, and a motion was passed rescinding the granting of the joint reward.

EARNEST.

As a result of the differences between the two architects, and the charges and counter charges, two libel suiu were com menced fn ttte Vigo County Court, June 29,1881. In the one Mr. Bunting sues Mr. Eppinghausen for |50,000, alleging that he uttered words of a libellous nature, to wit: on the 26th day of June, Eppinghausen having procured an inter view with the reporter of the Terre Haute Express, stated that he (Bunting) had paid Mr. Shanuon $2,500 lo procure his influence. In the other, Patrick Shannon sues Mr. Eppinghausen for $50,000, alleging that he uttered words of a libelous nature, to wit: in the same interview mentioned above he stated that he (Shannon) had asked him (Eppinghausen) for a like snm of $2,500 for his inflnenee, etc. These suits were set for trial ten days after the filing of the complaints, but have been postponed until the coming September term, when they will be brought before Judge Rhoads. At present they are pending on demurrers, argument of which will be had, and rich developements are expected.|Mr.|8hannon's attorneys aie Messrs. Carlton & Lamb and Davis & Davis. Mr. Bunting's the same gentlemen. Mr. Eppinghausen has secured tbe firm of

& Morgan, and Judge Mc

Nutt Mi. Buff says that the words used were not libelotie, in that there was no iiitention to impute corruption, simply that Mr. Shannon was paid so much money as a financial agent and influential man that attorneys and others were paid large sums every day simply to keep away from a case or to use their inflnenee, and that it was a common thing to use money in securing the influence of financial men all over the country. Mr. Carlton, on the other hand, says that the words were libelous, aid cites several cases in illustration.

Mr. Buff has had a detective at work for several weeks securing evidence to offer in defense in the two $50,000 libel suits, and it is proposed to use the Fletcher & churchman suit, also, as evidence. Mr. Bunting refuses to be interviewed in 4h£ matter, but his friend, Mr. James Myers, ot| this city, says that Mr. Bunting deposited the money in the bank as an earnest that he coald give security, other architects having complained that when the draft was sent to Terre ante for collection Mr. Shannon was away fishing, and had left orders that it should not be paid. Mr. Buff, attorney for Eppinghausen, says that the evidence shovs that Mr. Bunting got tlie money from Mr. Farmc.- on tho 21st of April, that he took it to Shannon's bank ana deposited it. That this was long before the 17th of May, and that no security was required by the board of eyocmissioners at that time. He further says he has the affidavit of and old and respected Haute that he

citiaen ot Terre was approached, V,

back of Shannons bank by a certain man and told that if he would ute his influence!! to secure Eppinghausen and Bunting as, joint architects, he would receive $500, and il Bunting alone got the award, he would receive $1,500 he being approached because he was supposed to be a warm personal friend of Mr. Wilson, a member of the board.

WHAT

MR,

BCNUN O SAYP.

Arepoiter of the Journal called at Mr. Bunting's house last night, and upon presenting him with the salient points of the foregoing statements, he stated that the article published in the Journal of Tuesday expressed his views exactly. He said that Mr. Eppinghausen's statements to Mr. Buffwerenot correct, that he did not give him (Bunting) the alternative of being chief architect or consulting architect, but that he(Eppinghausen) wanted to be chief architect that it reminded him of the story of the white man and the Indian going hunting together. A turkey-buzzard and a turkey were shot, and the white man said to the Indian, "Now you take the buzzard and I'll take rkey take the' buzzard." The Indian said,

you

the

turkey, or I take tbe turkey and you

White man no mention turkey to me at all." As the mitter now stands, there is little or no disposition on either side to impute any corruption to the board of commissioners, and to conclude the whole matter, Vigo county is as far off as ever from tbe possession of a court-house. The people have been so sickened by the explosures already made and the threatened developments yet to be made that an aversion has set in against any move in that direction, although the board of commissioners have left the matter of devising new plans in the hands ot Mre Vrydagh.
