The favorite tourists resort, Magring-
On, Switzerland was recently destroyed
by fire. Several hamlets were also
wiped out by the fire spreading. Inter
lsken narrowly escaped the fate OF
Magringen. There is not q moro de-
liphtful district in the world in which
to spend tho summer months than this.
Many of the buildings are wooden IN
that locality; hence, perhaps, the ter
rible destruct,veness OF the fire can be
accounted for. A fire is not liable to
occur in most of the Continental towns
nd cities, by reason of tho solid ma
seary and other fire proof qualities OF
~ structures. But in Switzerland
there are many frame buildings, espec-
tally at the summer resorts. where
wealthy people have built elegant resi-
dsnces.

EDITORS JOURNAL IL frequently see
notices in Salina papers of discussion on
the subject of Church Greed. From
my standpoint can see no benefit to
humanity in such DISCUSSIONS. There
can not be Q church without o creed. A
creed is simply "a summary OF religious
belief" If any church prefers to tormu-
late its doctrine and publish them, it
has a perfect right to do so in printed
documents or books ;-if another church
prefers TO publish its dogmss orally it
has just rs good right to do so. There
is no use or propriety in disputing about
it. think Christian ministers have .
nobler mission and have no time to de-
vote to religious pugiiism. There are
too many going to ruin now. and think
quarreling about methods increases the
number. Better emulate those who
spend life and strength in persuading
the vile to be reconciied 10 God. "He
that converteth the sinner from the o..
ror of his way shall save . soul from
death, land shall hide multitude OF sins.

Burglars at Work-Incendiary Fire-Death
of Young Woman from Exposure.
Special to the Sentinel:
EVANSVILLE, Ind, May 5.-A gang of burg
lars, who have been operating in this city for
some time past, were brought to halt last
week by the arrest of four of their number;
nevertheless, last night number ofresidences
in the upper part of the city were broken into
and their valuables carried off.
An incendiary fire this morning at O'Clock
destroyed Genung & Eames' Hub factory and
two large and one small dwellings.
Nellie Crayton called at the residence of a
man named Tall. Saturday evening, and asked
to be allowed to rest, which was granted.
Yesterday morning, on trying to awaken her
it was found that she had died during the
night. She was IN an interesting condition
and the coroner's jury, after listening to the
evidence of several physicians, brought in a
verdict of ''death from exposure"

On Trial for an Aggravated Assault-The
Gas Question Again.
Special to the Sentinel:
FRANKLIN, Ind, May 5.-The trial of Jarvis
Alexander is in progress in the circuit court
or assault and battery upon Luther Morris.
Last winter Alexander struck Morris with a
large, sharp-pointed stone, creating such a
wound in the face that for a while his life was
despaired of. Both parties are from Samaria.
The gas company and Council are still. at
loggerheads. Both sides are obstinate in what
they consider their rights, neither party being
willing to concede anything further than they
have done. If, through the obstinacy of the
Council, the gas company closes their works
the people will be the sufferers. This matter
has taken political shape, the whole Council
being bitter Republicans, while the president
of the gas company is Democrat, as well as
many of the stockholders.

sponse to an inquiry from the doctor as to
what he had been doing, Harding replied.
Trying to kill a d-n rat" He then entered
Conlen's pawnbroking shop.in the same build
ing, and left his revover. Three of the
chambers were emptied, and i've caps had
been exploded. He then went to Chaplin &
Cores saloon. He did not load his
weapon there, as was at first
supposed, and did not visit the place until
after the shooting. Here he "loaded himself
up,'' in the language of one of the hystanders.
He was apparently much excited, and took a
drink. From there he went to the Circle
House saloon, with John ID. Nicholos and F.
H. Kimberly, foreman of the Herald. He was
laboripg under great excitement, and waiting
for an officer to arrest him. he was
then met by reporter, but
declined to make any statement, and
did not recognize friend who entered,
though spoken toseveral times. When pressed
for statement by the reporter he said he
recognized the fact of a reporters natural anx-
iety to get all the news possible, but he would
not talk of the morning affair, and referred to
the affair of the evening before substantially
as published in the Sentinel of yesterday
morning. Harding then yielded to the request
of Mr.. berly to leave the saloon and go to
the Herald counting room, SO as to avoid being
arrested in the bar room. Captain Campbell a
few moments afterward arrested him at the
office.
ANOTHER INTERVIEW.
At the court room another attempt was
made to interview him, and he began writing
a statement for the News, but was dissuaded
from writing or making any statement by
Colonel A. W. Prather, one OF
his attorneys. He expressed deep regret
that any Innocent parties should
have been injured, and expressed desire to
pay all expenses incurred through the inju-
ries received by them, adding that he would
rather serve two years in the penitentiary
than have hurt any innocent party.
THE CASE CALLED.
At 10 o'clock the case was called, and
Colonel Prather addressed the mayor in
Mr.. Harding would waive examination
give bond and have the case go before the
grand jury now in session. After thinking @
moment, Mayor Caven decided not to accept q
bond in the case of Lizius, as he was danger
ously wounded, and Harding was, therefore
committed to jail to await the result Of the in
juriss In addition to Colonel Prather, Hard
ing has retained John s. Duncan and Joseph
w Nichol TO defend him.
THE CHARGES.
Four charges, each assault and battery with
intent to kill, are brought against Harding
two on account of Light, and the others charg
Ing him with intent to kill Gerhard Liziui
and Richard Walters. The charge on account
of the assault of Sunday night is brought by
John Minor, the other three by Light.

SEQUENCES OF THE SHOOTING.

DIR. ]. M. Yoeart, who interrupted Harding
In his fusillade, was visited by Sentinel
reporter. The doctor said that he was sitting
In his Office when he heard the first shot.
Looked out the door and saw Harding steady
ing himself against the jamb OF the door. He
was very nervous, and would point
his revolver through the door
way at Light and then draw back in the hall
way as though he feared that Light would re-
turn the fire. Light was very badly scared,
and bobbed up and down behind the imposing
stone like a jumping jack. He was too fright
ened to yell murder, and could only emit .
kind Of yelp. l got TO Harding as soon as
could and pinioned his arms. Told him
he was excited and must 60 away.
He did not say anything. but was
painting very hard. At the corner of the stairs
he attempted to turn back. but told him ne
must go down stairs. and he went down with
out any remonstrance. Think he fired three
shots. After Harding started down stairs
Light ran out with q mallet and wrench In his
hand, exclaiming. "Is he gone?" looked down
stairs after him, and then went back into the
Office. Finding that Lizius was hurt, we took
him In my Office and extracted the ball. The ball
entered the left side, Just above the hip joint
ranged downward, struck the bone, turned
went backward and upward, came out
In the right side, an inch and . half from the
spine, the distance traversed being about seven
and half inches. Lizius Is q handsome young
man Of l9. The doctor then produced the
ball from his pocket book and exhibited It tc

and is about half the size Of one. ae

Of cringing cowards, willing to give up any

something ludicrous in the sadness of the

which keeps him from despair. After the
