THE counsel who secured young Carr's
release from prison, which led to the
fatal infection of his family with the
smallpox, contracted by him while in
confinement, assures us that when
Keeper Burkholder intimated to him
that there was any suspicion that Carr
might thus be affected, he peremptorily
declined to proceed for his release until
his real condition was ascertained; and
that this was left to the keeper to de-
termine, and that when he brought hin
down he announced his positive convic
tion that Carr was not in any sucf
condition so we'll satisfied was his at
torney of this that he incurred personal
contact with his client. The prison
authorities certainly made the fatal mis-
take of not at once removing their frs
patients from even possible danger o
injecting anybody else, and of promptl
notifying the public what was the con
dition of things at the prison, and wha
they were doing to remedy it.

siding on the farm of Mr.. Zook, short

notify her husband, but in her absence the
miscreant went to straw stack and pro
cured bundle of straw, took it to the
house and set fire to it, expecting, Of
course, that the house would be consumed.
The men, however, arrived in time to
prevent any serious damage to the house,
and four Of the men jumped upon horses
and started out in. pursuit of the vagrant.
They rode out to the pike and came
towards this city, but it proved to have
been the wrong direction, as it was after
wards ascertained that he took an easterly
route and of course soon became lost in
tho innumerable caravan of road agents
that infest this county.

ness active and the crops excellent. Wheat,
grass, corn, potatoes and tobacco are all
Indicating largo yield. The farmers are

serves special mention on account of its
extraordinary crop. 1t is covered with
clover from three to four feet long, and
from 40 to So stalks from one seed and
root. The field has been sowed in the

The Cost OF Electric Power.

The electrical railway at the exhibition
in Chicago did not get started until last
week, but sinca that time has done large
business. No definite information as to
the cost of power has been obtained, but
it seems to DO the general impression that
it is much moro costly than steam.
On an electrical railway in Ire
land an exact account of he cost
was kept, and compared with that
of running steam engines on the same
road, the report of the superintendent
declared electricity to bs more economical
on that particular road. Some extraordi
nary statements have recently been pub
lshed regarding the cost of incandescent
lighting, compared with that of gas. Ono
manufacturer estimates that the electric
light costs only one third and another one
fifth as much as gas at 81 30 per thousand
cubic feet. This is SO extraordinarily cheap
that engineers, before accepting the state
ments is true, will want to revise the
elements of cost, and estimate for them
selves

Senator Dan VOORHEES, had an interview
with q reporter and talked along on
several political topics with great freedom
and entire disregard, apparently, of the
effect his opinions might have upon his
own chances for becoming the candidate of
the Democrats for president. He thinks
Hoadley's nomination . good one, but
would have preferred Ward. The state
ment which has been published that Hen
bricks and Mcdonald were for three hours
in the same room without speaking, he
vigorously characterizes as "a willful,
malicious, infamous lie, telegraphed to
the country by the associated press, and
that he knows that Matson, Hendricks,
Mcdonald and Peelle, were in Hendrick's q
room for three hours one day this week,
in social conversation. The interview then
goes ON as follows:
"Does any portion of the party in In
diana desire the old ticket, Tilden and
Hendricks?'
"As far as know there is not single
Democrat of any prominence in the state
who wants that ticket. know that
Hendricks does not want it, for he told me
so last Monday"
"Can any one be elected governor OF
Indiana on strictly free trade platform q
81 think not. The Democrats have
learned that free trade in the abstract il
not the doctrine of the party. With the
exception of Henry Watterson and Joe
Pulitzer there arc no Democrats in the
country in favor of free trade. pure and

'None in the world. Hendrick is not a
