Vagrant Laws Unconstitutional i'm In.
diana.

Judge Lowry, of the Superior Court
at Fort Wayne, has rendered an opinion
holding that the first section of the law
known as the Suspected Felon act is un-
constitutional, on the ground that, un-
der its provisions, defendant can be held
and put on trial without written COM
plant, and can also be virtually COM
PEELED to testify against himself, both of
which are in conflict with the constitu-
ton. The law was drafted after the H.
linois Vagrant act, which was recently
decided unconstitutional by Judge Nc
Allister. This is the first time the
question has been raised in the Indiana
courts.

This is almost equal to the new mile
age reported mt corresponding time for
the year 1876. 1t is notable fact, how
ever, that the cost of construction and
equipment never ruled SO low az during
the past year, and also that railways
were never before built so nearly for the
cash cost and with so little fictitious cap
ital so that the aggregate of capital
invested in the z, 300 or 50 miles or new
road is far less than that represented in
q corresponding increase OF mileage in
former years. To show the remarkable
growth of the narrow-gauge system in
augurated only half dozen years ago
in this country, the Age has given in its
summary the figures for wide-gauge"
Gncluding, i'll two or three instances,
roads of five fee) and narrow
gauge separately. No less than
IS per cent. of the roads in num-
Der, and 55 per cent. in mileage, were
of the latter class-three-feet gauge-ex-
cept in one or two cases, where three
feet six inches was used, and in another,
where the novel width of two feet was
chosen. These narrow-gauge roads have
all been constructed very cheaply, and in
many cases where it would have been
difficult or impossible to raise the money
for even light" standard-gauge road.
In some cases o mistake has been COM
mitted in varying from the usual stand
ard of the country, but in may others
the three-feet gauge is equal to all pos
sible demands that will be made upon it,
and as the roads are intended solely to
supply limited local needs, where the
people have no expectation of or ambi-
ton for building parts of a great
Through" system, they are well adapted
to their localities.

Railroad Construction In 1877.

The last number of the Rait,oay Age
contains a carefully prepared table
showing the number OF new roads and
extensions constructed during the year
1877, and the miles of track laid. 1t
appears that during year of continued
depression to all industry no less than
1905 miles were added to the railway
system of the United States, which are
divided among the various States as
follows:

Gas from water.

At last, "the man who can set
the river aire" has arisen-in the
East, of course though he is a
Western man. James Winter who
has charge of the engine in the
Cosmopolitan Hotel, New York,
processes to have discovered a
method for producing illuminating
gas from pure water, at a triding
cost. He was experimenting on a
water-meter which was to be a great
government over those now used
for measuring the consumption in
gas, when he made the discovery
The machine is described as con-
sisting Of two iron boxes, one con-
tanning water to be pumped into
the other. What is inside this lat
ter box, through which the oxygen
and hydrogen gases are released, is
not yet revealed, save to u few oapi-
talists who propose to assist Mr..
Winter in perfecting his discovery.
The machinery is said 10 be very
simple; no electricity or chemicals
are used, and the light produced is
described as very brilliant. Once
" the little box" exploded, and the
experimenter came very near being
blown to pieces. This forcable in
dication Of a motive power similar
to the Keely delusion raised q few
doubts in the minds OF the investi-
gators; but those interested are
fully satisfied that there is no fraud
about it. AS soon as a large ma.

to question her own authenticity

THE STORY OF TWO LIVES.
Father and Daughter Reunited after
Many Years Of Separation.
A Strange but True aud Thrilling
Narrative.
THE sEOUcER AND THE AVENOER.
louisville News, March 2sth.l

I
In the narration that follows, a
strange and thrilling one, there is
such a blending of romance and
heart-sorrow as are seldom united
in one life. Yet the story is vouched
for as absolutely true, and is told as
it was given a reporter for the Eve
ming News by one of the chief
parties involved in the remarkable
events detailed. The writer freely
acknowledges that the names used
are not the correct ones of the per-
sons referred to; for to give the
proper rames under the circum-
stances would only inhict fresh
wounds upon those who have al
ready suffered deeply. Here is the
story:
In 1857 Charles Bartholomew,
then a young man of thirty-two,
was a thriving machinist in Phila-
delphia, the husband of a beautiful
wife, and father of two sweet chill
dren, a boy and girl. His life had
been one of energetic and intelli-
gent industry, and these, added to
steady, manly habits, had brought
him success. He was the inventor
of a valuable agricultural imple-
ment-a moving machine-and by
the sale of his invention had real
lied a handsome fortune. His pros
perity, however, had no other effect
upon him than to stimulate his
ambition for other and greater
achievements in the field Of inyen-
ton, and afford him the means to
crafty his ambition by the con-
struction and thorough test of
models or perfected machines.
But the fortune that came to
him had quite different influence
and effect with his young and
handsome wife, whose tastes covet-
ed a gay life, and led her to an in
diligence in the dizzy but danger
GUS rounds of fashionable pleasures.
The husband loved his wife ten
derly and confded in her honor
implicitly, and he therefore gave
her free scope for enjoyment ac-
cording to her desires, never dream
ing for moment what danger he
was thereby placing her in. Things
ran on thus for a time, the young
wife, meantime, making many new
acquaintance, one Of whom we
will call Henry Lacey (but that was
not his name), a gay, dashing,
handsome fellow of thirty, and
upon whose friendship she sat great
store. a few months later, the in
timacy between herself and Lacey
all the while increasing, Charles
Bartholomew found himself the
husband of debauched wife. all
his domestic happiness crushed by
the seducer, and the dark pail of
dishonor resting upon his house
hold.
An Unsuitable desire for VEN
geanee upon the destroyer Of his
wfe's virtue and his own happi-
ness possessed Bartholomew, and
he vowed death to the heartless
villain. But Lacey had already
fed from the city, and the fulfill
ment of the wronged mans terri
bic vow was thus TO DO matter of
the future. lie did not upraid the
ruined woman; for already the
bloom had faded from her cheeks
under the intense safferings she
endured from the consciousness of
her sin, and it was plain enough to
the husbands keen eye that she
would soon atone for her virtue

years previous they had, supp0slng
him dead, given his daughter to a
respectable gentleman and lady of
Louisville, who were childless, to
be reared as their own; and that
they had afterward been informed
that the girl had sickened and died.
The father, supposing himself
childless, became resigned to the
sad fate he thought had overtaken
him, and few weeks thereafter re-
moved to Leeds and took charge of
a large factory there, hearing no
more from the Sisters.
And now another change of
scene takes place in this curious
life. drama. 1t seems that the gem
tleman and lady who had taken
Bartholomew's daughter became
deeply attached to her, and fearing
the Sisters or the father of the girl
might in the future seek to rob
them Of their idol, removed to the
country for a time, reporting pre-
ylously to doing so the child's death.
After this the Sisters lost all trace of
them, for on returning to Louis
vile they located in remote part
of the city from that in which they
had formerly resided.
The girl grew up to womanhood,
bearing the name of her foster pa
rents. She graduated at one of the
leading institutions of the city with
high honor, and has since been a
highly respected and accomplished
member of the best society. But
the girl knew she was not the child
of those who had treated her as a
daughter, and was restive enough.
Finally she told her foster parents
she could bear the suspense no
longer, and must hear from her
father if possible, if living. They
seconded her wishes, for she was
now twenty-four years of age. Ad-
vertlsementS inquiring for him were
inserted in New York, New Or
leans, San Francisco and London
papers, and six weeks ago the
daughters efforts to find her father
were rewarded by receiving letter
from him, announcing that he
would set sail by the steamer of the
following week from Liverpool, and
hoped to meet her.
On Friday last Mr.. Bartholomew
reached Louisville, and, calling at
the address given in the advertise.
menta, met the daughter he had
long mourned as dead. The meet.
ing was one that can only be imag
ined, for language cannot properly
) describe it. The finding of the father
will not take the daughter from
the loving couple that adopted and
reared her, for Mr.. Bartholomew
J will most probably make Louisville
his future home. He is now man
of ffty-three, with iron-gray locks,
but stalwart frame, and is again
the possessor of means sufficient to
establish him in business. And
this is the history Of two lives as it
was related to a News reporter and
vouched for by the narrator as
"true as holy writ" TO give any
more definite particulars would
identify the parties, thing that,
under the circumstances would
cast shadow on the lives of both.
