SOLDIERS. AND. SAILORS.
a Home To Be Fitted Up for Them at
Erie, Pa.

ERIE, Pa, Dec. S.-Twelve years ago the
State of Pennsylvania erected, at an expense
of $150,000, large brick structure in the
eastern part of the city, to be known as the
Marine Hospital building. 1t was about half
completed when from various causes, work
was suspended, and it has remained unfin-
ished to the present time. Lately, Hon.
John L. Welsh, in behalf of the Grand Army
of the Republic and Hon. s. w. Brainard
congressman in this district, interested them
selves in the matter of getting the building
transferred to the government with the pro-
viso that it be completed for q. soldiers and
sailors home. At its last session the Legisl
lature of Pennsylvania passed an act so cedA
ing it., and adding an. additional S., 900 for
the purpose Of getting the building
in repair The State bill oedes
all right and title to the general
government, and Congressman Brainard will
shortly introduce bill into the House at
Washington to accept the building andap-
propriatng a sum sufficient to put it in
shape fora home. 1t stands on beautiful
ground, high and slightly. and overlooking
Lake Erie. 1t is claimed that while every
provision has been made for soldiers of the
late war none whatever has been made for
sailors, of whom there is large number in
INDECENT but deserving circumstances
throughout the country. 1t is confidently
believed the general government will accept
the property for the purpose named, as
large number in both houses are known. to
favor it. Senator Logan, of Illinois, will in
troduce bill in the Senate and Congressman
Brainard in the House.

The Electric Underground Wire Scheme.
To the Editor of the Indiananons Journsd o
The News of Saturday contains an inter
view with Mr.. H. C. Adams relating to the
underground telegraph ordinance, which is
to be misleading. He is quoted as stat
ing that the proposed process of operating
lines in underground conduits is not an ex-
pertinent, and that telegraph, electric-lIght
and telephone wires are successfully oper
ated in themsin Chicago.
The facts are that in Chicago there are
three cables in the conduits carrying the
wires of the Postal Telegraph Company only,
and all attempts to work. the telephone and
ordinary telegraph wires in conduits with
them have proven failure.
If the plan proposed for indianapolis and
the. Ordinance granting the franchise would
bear investigation, why the unseemly haste
displayed nforoing its passage through the
council on the night it was. first presented,
without al. opportunity being given for con-
sideraton or investigation?
Does it not bear the appearance of an at
tempt on the part of persons who have no
special interest in electrical matters to Sc
cure a valuable franchise from the city for
nothing and then squeeze the telegraph,
telephone and electrie-light compan-
panies into buying it of them?
1t is to be hoped that the Board of Alder
men will fully investigate the ordinance,
both as the practicability of the scheme
and the result to the citizens of Indianapolis
who atronze the telegraph, telephone and
electric light, andnot put it in the power of
designing parties to mpair the usefulness of
these valuable adjuncts to the business of
the city,
White the language of the ordinance
passed by council does not in so many
words say that the franchise granted is
exclusive, the practical effect of the adop-
ton of the ordinance would be to give the ex-
elusive use of the streets and alleys for
underground lines to the parties named in
it for the term of fifty years, and would pre-
vent the use in indianapolis of any success
full system of operating wires under ground
during that period, should one be discov-
cred.
Would it not be we'll for our Board Of
Aldermen to inform themselves on the sub
ject before taking any action. ELECTRIC

LETTERS TO. THE EDITOR.
Phe, Latest Asteroid and the Cluster To
which II BELONGS.

Latest
Which, 1t Belongs.
To the Editor of the, Indianapolis JOuTnai
The. year 1888 has not been remarkable for
the discovery of asteroids The last, detected
by Palisa of Vienna. on the morning of Now
20, is the fourth of the year, and the 235th of
the cluster. In the future the progress of
discovery in this department of research. will
perhaps be. slow; not that all, or nearly all,
have been already observed, butbecause most
of thelndefnite number remaining. are too
small to be seen by any but the most power
tul telescopes. Very great variety of magni-
tude obtains in the groupas now known; the
volume of the largest according to the latest
estimate, being $4,000 times that of the small
est. A corresponding variety may be pre-
sumed to characterize, the smaller. members
of the cluster which have escaped detection.
The list of astronomers who have been
more or less successful in this field of obser-
yation, contains thirty-seven names, OF
these, Peters has discovered forty-two aste-
roids; Palisa, forty; Watson, twenty-five,
and Luther, twenty. OF the 235 now known,
161 have been discovered in Europe, seventy
in America, and four in Asia.
But to what purpose is all hisexpenditure
of time, and. labor in the search for these
celestial pebbles, and in the determination
of their paths in spaceP We reply that these
researches have not been fruitless'of import
ant results. The old theory which assigned
the origin of these bodies to the explosion of
alarge planet-as theory which, seemed quite
plausible when originally proposed-ha been
entirely disproved by later investigations.
The further discovery of gaps, or chasms in
particular parts of the zone is not without
significance in regard to the past history of
the planetary SYSTEM. Let us hope that the
continued accumulation of facts may ulti-
mately lead to more definite knowledge.
"For heaven
is as the book of GOD before us set,
Wherein to read his wondrous works, and learn
His seasons, hours, or days, months, or
years."

which sold for S11 600 cost him $500. He
bought only when he could buy at great bar
gain, and he got his Turner before its value
was known in this country. He is still here,
