MUNcIE, Ind, June s.
/ The farmers and stock dealers in Delaware
county are receiving large amounts of fine
stock and poultry. This will soon be one of
the leading counties of the state in this re-
gard.
The court now in session in Muncie is
bringing whisky and billiard men to swift

lizards will soon be thing of the past here;
indeed, it is now.
The Murphy temperance movement has
assumed permanent organization in Nun
Gle. Several committees we're appointed this
week to alleviate the sufferings of those out
of employment-the duty of one of the
committees being to obtain work for those
out of situations, who have signed the
pledge.
A westward bound freight train on the
Bee Line, due at Muncie at 2:33 a. m. yester-
day (Thursdav) ran over and mutilated
both feet OF billiard Drake. a we'll known
painter of this city. The whole sum and
substance of the accident is due to his being
under the influence of intoxicating liquor
1t appears that Mr.. Drake had started home
east on the Bee Line railroad during the
night and had fallen into cattle guard on the
railroad, on South Monroe street, and was so
much under the influence of intoxicating
liquor as to be unable to extricate his feet
from between the cross bars, and that he
moved his body off the track and left his
feet Tapped over the rails to the mercy of the
train, which mashed them into a perfect
jelly. The shock ana his intoxicated condi-
ton prevented him from making his injuries
known, and when he did resuscitate it was
by dint of great energy and exceedingly
lucky that he was found, and already he had
sustained loss of blood that made his
chance for life very small-indeed it seemed
impossible for him to live. At about noon
to-day amputation was decided upon, and
both his feet were amputated just above the
ankles.

was expected, and hopes are entertained that
he will recover, though it will be through

MUNCIE MATTERS.

.staHl.fsH hONNlt, luu., uuC ",
To the Editor of the Sentinel:
SIR--In your paper of the 9Th appears a
report of the reelection of O. NJ. Todd as
superintendent of Delaware county, and
that report closes with the following obscure
and equivocai paragraph: "a feeling Of
dire hatred is rife toward the superintendent
of Muncie schools in regard to the position
taken by him. Threats of bouncing him
from his position are coveted by some. He
took strides, no doubt, outside of his bust
ness" Now, In justice to Superintendent
McRae and the educational interests of the
county generally, /. as citizen, respectfully
ask the use of little space in which to par
TALLY review the above quoted statements.
1t can not be denied that feeling of "dire
hatred does exist toward the superinteD-
dent of the city schools, for he was instru-
mental in defeating deep laid scheme, the
success OF which would have been deleteri-
ous to the schools of this county, both in
the city and in the country. But,thi dire
hatred is far-yery far from being rife"
Ii is confined to very narrow limits; it Is
confined to the defeated aspirants and a
feeble band of expectant satellites.

bouncing him from his position are coveted

In Denmark it is customary to pray for
the king, using the words of a regulation
prayer appointed for the purpose. A dis
contented doninie on recent Sunday so far
departed from the prescribed custom as to
pray that the Lord would enlighten the

he might deserve the affection of his peo-

4 Turkish Town In Asia Minor.

The streets of Erzcoam are compared
by a correspondent to a net OF wriggling
ecls. No squares, no good-looklng
houses, offer anywhere n means Of set
ting oneself right; everywhere nothing
but houses, rising slightly from the
ground, with grass roofs, on which may
frequently be seer mufaed-up women,
children at play and lambs frisking
about. Children and lambs sometimes
fall through the chimney into tho house,
in Which men, horses, oxen, COWS and
sheep live together. In bad weather the
chimneys are covered with fiat stones,
and then the smoke fills the rsom OF
stable, whichever one chooses to call it:
A small part of this room, devoid of light
or dir, in which n fire made of dung and
fnely-cut straw burns, is separated by a
railing. Here paterfamilias sits on a
rug, smoking his chibongue or narglleh,
and receives guests. The preparation OF
food gives little trouble; a penny a day
sutices to satisfy the palate and stomach,
even in wealthy families. A little bread
and cheese, perhaps a cucumber, under
favorable circumstances a pilaff, on feast
days a piece of mutton, which the Ar
menian women roast particularly we'll
that is the whole bill Of fare.

Lake Superior.

Lake Superior has, at times, not only
the varied interest. but the sublim!ty of
a true ocean. It's blue, cold, transparent
waters, undisturbed by tides, lie, during
a calm, m~otionless and CLASSY as those OF
any small, secluded lake, rejecting, with
perfect truth of form and color, the i'll
verted landscape that slopes down to its
smooth, sandy beach. But when this
inland sea is stirred by the rising tenn
pest, the long sweep of it's waves and the
curling white caps that crest it's surface
give warming, not only to the light bark
canoe, still much used along its shores,
but also to sloop, and schooner, and lake
steamer to seek some sheltering haven.
At such times, craft of every description
may be seen running before the wind, or
beating up against it, all making for the
most favorite harbor on the lake. the
sheltered bay Of Madeline Island.

Preserving Elephants in Ice.

Some Russians lately found in Siberia
another elephant, perfectly preserved
in ice: they were able to eat its flesh.
NJ. Bayle. in announcing this fact TO the
Geological Society of France, said it did
not prove that elephants had lived in
the country, but that, in q time Of great
cataclysm, their bodies may have been
transported by.a very strong current
from the Himalayas on to Siberia, where
they were stopped by the ice; the time
necessary for such transport is much less
than would be generally supposed. The
elephants, very numerous at that epoch,
had not been all carried to Siberia,
many had been stopped en- route, and
nothing had been left of them but their
bones and tusks; it was the latter that
had been long used by the Chinese for
their works Of cut ivory. With regard
to the cataclysm carrying elephants to
northern regions, Count Hugo has point
ed out that every year English and
American fishermen have brought up
elephants tusks in their net. The num-
Der of these got annually may be esti-
mated without exaggeration, ut about a
thousand.
