Pardon for Gnndwin-

The LoganspOrt Advertiser says: THE par
don of Oscar Good win now depends largely upon
the action Of General Gresham. who sat as judge
on bis trial. The application for the pardon is
signed by all the jurors who tried the ease all
the State officers, and about 1 100 of our clti-
zens. It's believed that the sentence would not
have exceeded TWO years if the law had not
fixed five years az the lowest penalty. Goodwin
has served one year of his time, and his friends
have good Reason for hoping much from the
good word of General Gresham, under the cir
cumstaucss."

Thus it will he seen that even in the event of
the next General Assembly not making other
provisions to increase the expenditures or meet
them, there will be sufficient in the general
fund to meet all demands until Oct 81, 1885
1t may he urged that portion of last years
taxes is not colleetible until the December set
Element. The law makes ample provision for
the collection of taxes from county treasurers
in case OF emergency, as will be seen by section
5642, Il. 8, 1881. This relieves any apprehen-
sion on account of want of authority to collect
the taxes due the State by the counties before
the time fixed for semi annual settlements with
the several counties should an emergency arise.
And from this, under the provisions of an act
approved March 8, 1888, tax of one-halt per
cent is levied on each 500 worth of taxable
property for the endowment fund of the Indiana
University. This tax, after May l. 1884, upon
mplianee Of certain conditions specified in said
act, can be used TO pay off the interest bearing
Indebtedness of the State, thue relieving the es-
tImated current expenditures already
given in proportion 10 the collec-
lions already derived from said
tax. On the assessment OF this year this will
bring return in 1884 of S39, 1923 As, which, if
60 per cent. Is collected, will give to the of

The EcIipse of the Moon.

TO the Editor the Indianapolis Journal
Calculation had indicated that there would
be an eclipse of the moon Oct Is, beginning
at 1916, midnight, and lasting one hour and
ffty-two minutes, and that about one-fourth
of the moons face would be eclipsed The
late hour, smallness of the eclipse, and cloudi-
ness of the sky at bedtime made me hesitate
about staying up to see the eclipse. But 1
decided to wait and see what I could of it;
and 1 was we'll paid for waiting. The sky
cleared most beautifully before midnight
At 1145 l went up in the observatory, when
a slight tinge of shade was apparent on the
eastern side OF the moon--it was already in
the penumbra and grew little darker as
1916 approached. At 1914 the point on the
moons edge (southeastern) which would
first meet the earth's shadow was considera-
bly, darkened, but sharply defined At 12:17
it was very dusky, and the eclipse had I'M
doubleday begun. The edge of the
earth's shadow is by no means sharply
defined like the edge of the moon, so
that the exact time of beginning-or end
OF lunar eclipse cannot be ascertained bv
observation like that of a solar eclipse. And
high magnifying power makes it more
fringy and dull than low power does. l had
previously dtldCHeu large Spy-ElaSS along
side the telescope, and soon found that a
power of 90 on the small glass, "a inches
aperture, gave much better and more pleas
ing view of the cell pse than did the 46 inch
telescope with power of 100. This smaller
glass showed the lunar mountains and other
markings very nicely; and it was interesting
to watch the edge of the shadow approach
and pass over them. At 12:2O-four minutes
after the eclipse began--that side of the
moon was quite dark, but the edge was still
easily seen and we'll defined. At 1924 the
west edge of the shadow was middling well
defined. especially through the small glass
power 50-and extended nearly half way to
Mount Tycho. Two minutes later the
eclipse was easily perceptible to the
naked eye. At 12:35 the shadow has
reached Tycho, the mountains being some
what above the middle of the edge. In three
minutes it has crossed Tycho mountain,
Tor crater) fftyfve miles in diameter; and
the mountain occupies the middle of the

secretary of the Irish Land League, at half past
O'Clock was escorted by the United Order of
Hibernians and the members OF the local organ

tel to Masonic Temple, the Union band heading
the procession. There were about 800 stauneh
Irishmen in line, crediLabe turnout, ana the
procession would undoubtedly have been nearly
three times as large had the evening not been
warm and the outlook favoring rain. The au-
dience at Masonic Temple however, more than
made up for any deficiency in the street parade,
as every chair In the large audience room was
taken, and many persons were standing. The
representative men OF the city to the number of
two dozen, occupied seats on the platform.
Mr.. d. j. Sullivan, president of the irish Ma
tional League of Indiana, called the meeting to
order and introduced Mayor Grubbs, who spoke
as follows;
