When Philip Moved.

AS a Journal reporter was passing through the
Insane hospital aud stopped for a moment in one
OF the wards of the male department he was &C.
costed by a lunatic, with a hideous face, who
yelled, do you know Philip GapenG"
"He is one of the most hopslessly crazy pa
tlents in the ward" whispered the attendant.
81 say, do you know Philip Gapen4" again
yelled the lunatic.
Don't notice him and we'n walk on" re.
marked the attendant.
AS the attendant and the reporter passed on
through the ward the lunatic yelled after them:
well, know Philip Gapen. and 1 knew him
before he got to be one of the bosses of this place.
He was in hard luck then but times are better
with him now. When DIR. Fletcher, the new SUI
perintendent, moved out here the other day,
Philip moved into his house and" hut the re-
porter passed into the next ward and heard no
more OF the ~lunatic's rawlings,

and others will head a delegation from Fort
Wayne, which will arrive to-day, to urge that
town upon the commissioners. Madison pre-
sents perhaps the most advantageous PROPOSE
mons, and 1t is considered pretty nearly certain
that she Will be chosen. Richmond, Logansport,
Warsaw, Plymouth and Elkhart are also repre-.
scented by large delegations.

THAT PLANO BINDER
h Greates at New Castle Yesterday.

AT the field trial near New Castle yesterday, in
competition with Deering, Osborn and Wood
binders, the Plano came out victorious in every
point. In entering, the Plano walked right along
and did her work nobiy, and continued in this
manner all the afternoon, never missing 3 bun-
die or choking during the day. 1t was drawn by
only two horses. The Osborn followed, and, by
actual count, missed ten bundles In the first
round, and chosed badly. Their draft was very
heavy for three horses. The Deering would not
pick up the grain and missed badly IN tying,
while the Wood, which was first on the
ground, did not reach the field until
the middle of the afternoon, and when
they did arrive put in most of their time
resting. The Plano drew the highest, and gem
orally excelled in the field. We are informed by
the general agent that a great many Plano bind
ers will ne sold in Indiana this season. The ma
chine sells at sight, ana all farmers are pleased
with its work, 1t sells faster when seen at work
than any other machine. At this trial the
'shOckers" did not decide, but good farmer
judges, all Of whom bought Piano binders.

KING OF ALL TwINE.BINDERs.
Special to the Indianapolis journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NEW CASTLE, June 21.-The much-talked-o of
field contest of twine-binders came off to-day
five miles south of here, on the farm of Mr.. ]. P.
Morris. The day was favorable, though ex-
tremely warm. Four binders responded to the
challenge of the Plano. The Walter A. Wood,
Deering, Osborn and Plano all entered the
field with a determination to win, but the
Wood took the lead from the start and came out
winner with little effort.
The grain cue was green harley, which stood
very thick. The ground was soft and spongy,
making a hard field for testing the capacity of
any machine for good work. In the first round
every machine, excepting the Wood, threw out
a great many united bundles, and the Osborn
chOked three times.
Farmers for many miles around were here to
see the result before buying, and from the num-
Der of orders taken by the Wood, which was
greater than all others combined, showed the
feeling of the spectators better than three
prejudiced judges could.
The Wood use their own patent binder, while
nil the Others have the Appieby. The Wood has
no superfiuOus machinery and was altogether
free from the ANNOYING "side draft" of all other
machines. 1t cut a clear, perfectly level swath,
and bound its bundles neatly, leaving
ticed from other machines. 1t was
the only machine here that could regulate the
the whole contest.
The Deering only made two rounds before re-
firing from the contest.
The Plano did as we'll as could be expected of
60 heavy and clumsy a machine, making several
bad breaks, throwing out loose, scattering
bundles when they were tied at ali.
The Osborn, az the others, has the clumsy
Appleby binder, and did very inferior work.
The binder of the Wood is the most perfect we
ever saw. The packers work two at "a time in
stead of the "snatch-grab" style of the others.
Altogether, 1t Is the most perfect machine on the
market, and well earns the victories IL is achiev-
ing. Any farmer contemplating buying a
binder VIII make a great mistake II he does so
without examining the Walter A. Wood.

CONGRESS will take a recess Mon
day until after the holidays. 1t is
expected that Mr.. Carlisle will an
nounce the committees on that day.
This is awaited with unusual interest
all over the country, as it not only in
wolves the ambitions Of men, but will
have a marked influence upon the
Presidential CANVASS Of next year, and
may, indeed, determine the result in
advance. Mr.. Carlisle finds the
responsibility very serious one. 1t
is decidedly difficult to satisfy all who
aspire to chairmanships, and places on
the more important committees, and
to so distribute the appointments
that the great interests Of the country
and different localities shall have an
equitable representation. There will
be some disappointed men as a matter
of course, as there are not enough
places to go around, but they will not
cut much Of a figure, and Congress
will no doubt settle down very soon
to the important business Of the ses-
sion.
