An Exceptional Circumstance.

Now fOrk TrlUune.
The story of the ruin which Gilbert L. Gro
well has brought on himself and those who
believed in his honesty, is remarkable
mainly for the amount OF money made away
with. Trusts are betrayed almost daily, and
innocent persons suffer in consequence But
the money taken rarely amounts to 5000, 900
because that sum is not often within
reach. 1t may be noted as an exceptional
circumstance, perhaps, that Crowell was not
a man of deep religious tendencies, nor did
he take an active part in church and Sun
day-school management. The disgrace of
broken professions, therefore, he has spared
himself and his friends.

At IL O'Clock another exciting scene oc.

porarily in the cloak-room, with Senator
Spann in the chair. While Mr.. Henry was
speaking, Senator II iigass jumped up and
moved that Senator Willard be
made President pro tenn, and had
the impudence to put the motion himself. 1t
was declared carried in the midst of much con-
fusion, and Willard started for the chair, but
Governor Hanna came into che chamber In time
to assume the authority himself. While this
was being done, the Democratic lobbyists in the
galleries and asles kept up triumphant yell
ing, which shOrtlived, however. The
greatest excitement prevailed, and for a few
seconds it looked like the Democrats were
going to take the chair by main force mo-
lion was finally passed to clear the galleries and
lobbles OF all persons except the members of the
Assembly, the attaches, the reporters and the
score OF ladies who were present. IL required
fully half an hour to do this for time the
doorkeepers were unable to get the crowd TO
move. Finally the chamber cleared, and
Senator Henry continued his argument in the
midst of comparative quiet. He concluded a
few minutes after IL O'Clock, and Senator Bundy
got the floor, only TO Internationally yield it to
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1883-03-01

In yielding, Mr.. Bundy said that it had been
charged that the Democrats had been treated
unfairly, insomueh they had not been able to
get the floor, and he therefore gave up his rights
to Senator Magee, who wanted to speak. The
latter then began speaking against the bill. and
concluded by moving to lay the matter to recon

of 10 to 10, there being number of pairs. MI

which, of course, could not be done, as the House
had long since adjourned. Senator Bell then
tried to call up the Voyies resolution, but he was
declared out of order. protracted debate en-
sued on the point of order. The Lieutenant
governor stated that the bill had not been prop
erly reported to the House, nor had 1t been prop
erly enrolled, and he would, therefore, decline to
sign it. The Senate then adjourned at 1:l5

sORGHUM-RAlSING IN KANSAS.

Mr.. A. j. Decker, special agent OF
the Agricultural Department, lately Wis
tied Kansas to inquire into and report
on the adaptation of our soil for the
cultivation of sorghum for susar-mak-
ing. lie writes as follows 10 a gentle
man in Topeka:
"Rcplying to your request for in
formation on the sorghum interest oil
the country as to the success in the pro-
duction of sugar, and the advantages Of
Kansas in producing this crop, l am
pleased to answer that during the past
wear the obstacles in the way of making
sugar from sorghum have been greatly
overcome. manufacturers producing one
thousand pounds of the first quality OF
dry sugar to the acre of cane with as
much certainty as -four is made from
wheat. As to the advantages of Kan
sas for growing sorghum l find the soil
and climate especially adapted to this
crop. The planting season commences
about the first of April and continues
until July, giving working season OF
fully ninety days. The dry weather
and almost constant sunshine of the fall
season develops juice testing from ten
degrees B to fourteen degrees u, with
an average of twelve degrees b, while
the average of other States visited did
not exceed nine degrees b. This ad-
vantage NAV be more plainly under
stood by statement of the fact that
nine degrees b requires ten gallons OF
mice for one gallon of syrup, while
Juice testing twelve degrees b requires
less than six gallons. have taken note
of the largest yield per acre, and ma
that J. w. Chapman, five and haif
miles from Sterling, raised sixty-seven
thousand six hundred pounds of sor-
ghum on one acre, which is larger than
any other yield yet reported to me.
Another great advantage is the large
quantity of seed and its quality. Those
reported were from twenty to forty
bushels to the acre and sixty pounds
per bushel. II was considered by most
persons engaged in the business tha'

these natural advantages. and with the
aid of the new developments in produc-
ing sugar from sorghum, which under
stand are TO be applied in three OF the
largest factories in Kansas, this coming
season OF 1888, am satisfied, VIII re-
sult far ahead of any yet shown. In
the near future Kansas can not fail to
rank high as sugar-producing State,
and when these advantages become

An "Occnn Carrier"

A good deal Of interest is felt in nau-
tical circles in regard 10 experiments
recently made with what is called an
ocean carrier II is a hollow ball Of
red india rubber, about two and n half
feet in diameter. made very light. and
80 constructed that dispatches or mes
sagcs can he incloScd in il. II is in
tended to bc thrown overheard from a
ship at sea in case Of disaster or want
Of assistance. It's large size in proper
tion to weight. which is only seven
pounds, keeps It upon the top Of the
water. and it is rapidly carried by the
prevailing Winds 10 the nearest shore.
1t has a great advantage over casks
and bottles. as il is easily seen, and
likely to attract attention Of passing
ships, not easily injured even by ex
trcmc violence, and at the same time
moves more rapidly than a current
borne float. one Of these carriers trav-
cled 200 nautical miles in FIVE DAYS,
and another one an equal distance in
even less time. Casks and bottles are
notoriously slow. and months usually
elaPse before one is picked up: besides.
they are also frequently broken up and
their contents lost or at least so IL is-
supposed, as many Of them are never
found The experiments that have
been made with the carrier have been
unusually successful, and the inven-
tion promises 10 be a most valuable
one.
