SQUASH HOLLOW, Nov. 30.-John ]. links
fell dow stairs this morning and broke his
arm.
[John James Jinks, whose misfortune is
recorded above, was one of the first settlers
of Squash Hollow in the days before the
new blacksmith shop was built. He was
born on Dec. 10, 1910, at 8 A. NJ, and was
christened three months later in the school
house, at that time used as a church by all
the farmers within twenty miles. At ten
years of age he assisted his father, James
John Jinks, who, by the way, went to
Squash Hollow from Frogtown, fifty miles
south, planting potatoes. and thence on TO
twenty years of age remained on the farm,
when he determined to strike out for him
self. He obtained a job at driving the mule
team at the stone quarry, and he had fol-
lowed that profession ever since. The acct
dent recorded above is the fourth which has
happened in his eventful life. At the age of
nine he fell from a neighbours apple tree and
sprained his left left wrist; at eighteen he
sprained his ankle while jumping from a
high fence. and curious coincidence, Just
five years, three months and a half before
the date of his last mishap he got a fish hook
fast in the middle finger of his left hand

BRIDGING PoGUE's RUN.
The Meeting Between Representatives of
the City and Railroads Yesterday.

A meeting was held at the Denison House yes
terday afternoon between representatives OF the
Panhandle road and of the city in reference to
the bridge of that company on POgue's run near
East street. The company was represented by
John F. Miller, division superintendent; M. j.
Becker, chief engineer; NJ. W. Mansfield, division
engineer; Thomas H. johnson, division engineer;
E. B. Hutchinson, claim agent. and J. J. Turner,
superintendent indianapolis d Vincennes rail
road. The city was represented by City Attorney
Denny, City Engineer Shearer, Street Commits
sioner Fulmer and Councilman Pearson. The
railroad company expressed itself as
ready to proceed with the cree
ton OF a permanent and suitable
structure immediately, but first desires to know
exactly what the city authorities desire, and will
endeavor to conform to their demands. Chief
Engineer Becker showed a bridge drawing to re
place the present structure, and explained il.
1t shows a bridge with plate girders and a CEN
ter pier. The pier is four feet wide, while the
waterway on each side is twenty feet wide at
low water mark, a total width of forty feet. The
objection to a single span is that the bridge will
have to be raised to such "A height as TO compel
the raising of the street grade nearly or quite
three feet, which would be an exceedingly
dlsagreeahle feature to property owners and to
the city. Ii the plate of the bridge is not raised,
but depressed, the effect will be to obstruct the
water to the extent of nearly three feet when
the floods come and the volume of water needs
the space. The company proposed to build q
bridge sufficient to accommodate Two tracks
and will he twenty-eight feet wide. In answer
to a question, Mr.. Turner, OF the Vincennes road,
said that, as the company owned a quarry on
that line, stone could be got out at once and
furnished at the rate of twenty yards a
day. The chief engineer said that
ii the Cit Council would say the
word work could be begun tomorrow and the
bridge completed in thirty days. In speaking
OF Pogue's run. Chief Engineer Becker, who has
gone over the troublesome two and one-half
miles of this famous water-cOurse, saws it shows
a distinct hump In the center from filth that has
been accumulating in it for years, and the
proper thing to do would be to pillow it and clean
1t out. Mr.. Miller explained that the company
had no other objections to building @ span bridge
than those given by the chief engineer, and
that gentleman added that so far as cost was
concerned, a span bridge would not take the
ing TO build. The matter was left to he acted
upon by the Council and Board of Aldermen.

General John B. Clark's Nose.
Chicago News.

John B. Clark, jr, of Missouri, who has
been nominated for Chief Clerk of the-lower
house of Congress, is particularly remarka-
BILE for his nose, which seems to be a cross
between a bouquet of bright-coiored exotics
and an Italian sunse 1t is altogether the
most phenomenal nose that has ever APP
peared in Washington, and this, it must be
admitted, is saying a great deal. 1t has the
characteristics of the c~ameleon-nOt that it
subsists upon air, but that, under varying
circumstances, it changes it's hue. Some
times it is a gorgeous purple, reminding the
beholder of some of those splendid robes
worn by Roman conquerers and the wealth.
est mobiles of early Latin times; anon it is
fiery red, resembling the conflagration of a
prairie haystack on a dark night; again, we
find it a somber gray or a sullen chrome
yellow, while at certain periods it presents a
pale, pinkish tint. with dark blue polka dots.
On two or three occasions it has assumed the
national tri-colors-red, white and blue-but
its steadiest hue is a brick-red, with beauti-
full mauye waves and a few splashes of bright
green, producing at once a varied and pleas
ing aspect. We do not know that any esti-
mate as to the value of such a nose has ever
been made, but it is believed that Mr.. Clark
must have expended a large fortune upon
this useful and singularly ornamental mem

The Charity Association.

TO the Editor oI the indlansDOiis Journal:
Among the list of committees announced
for the work of collecting funds for the
Charity Organization Society, l see one to
canvas the saloons. Now, I am not in the
least s%queamish over the taking of money
from anybody for q good purpose, and heart
lily deprecate the ~punctilio that prevents
accepting the receipts from a theatrical
representation to be used for benevolent
purposes, but it strikes me as being a little
tough" to see an organization which still
clings to its 'churchly'' character, sending
one OF it's soliciting committee to the saloons
for money to carry On its work. The charity
organization should divorce itself absolutely
from the churches, and then such work,
would be perfectly proper and logical. Now,
it seems to ne very little less than candal-
GUS. Those preachers who will work to the
end of making the charity organization a
n~on-church institution, standing simply
upon its merits as a police adjunct and not
one of secular progress, will do both the
church and the charities a good service. Let
US have no more union of the charity organ
ization with the churches. The firm of
Christian churches, charity organizations and
whisky saloon sounds decidedly homogeneous.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journals

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal
Your editorial in last Saturdays paper
contained a well-merited rebuke of those
who are forever looking on the darker side of
life. There is much drunkenness and much
fraud in public and private circles, but he
who compares to-day with fifty years ago
must concede that we do not suffer by the
comparison, and if preachers, and editors,
and other chronic grumblers, would dwell
more upon our growth in morals, as we'll as
material things, and less upon the untrue as
SUMPTION that we are fastening pell-mell at
double-quick to the bad, it would be better.
But you were unfortunate in your illustra-
ton when you referred to public indigna-
ZION at the attempt of Mr.. Tilden TO buy the
presidency in order to prove a quickening OF
the public conscience on political debauch-
cry. Now, as l read the facts con-
nected with that assassination, 1 fail
to find the first or the ~faintest
denunciation of the great crime by a single
editor or politician OF the Democratic school;
but, on the contrary, the entire party, from
him who sits nearest the throne to the polit-
ical beggar on the dunghill, have never
ceased, by day or by night, to lament that
the attempt was not successful. There has
been, for seven years, no one thing so much
III their mouths as the loss OF the presidency
that year, when, by the unblushing use of
money they came so nearit, though they lost
IT by a commission of their own creating.
So much did the entire party approve OF the
scheme to buy the presidency, and so much
would it to-day approve of another attempt,
that no man has been more favorablv men
toned as the forthcoming candidate than
this same Samuel J. Tilden. This use of
money has never been urged against him by
4 single Democratic paper or politician.
Your proposition is true, but Mr.. Tilden's
case does not prove it. U. L. SEE.
bad as we regard the record and con-
SCIENCE of the Democratic party, we do not

attempt to buy up a State or States by the
open use of money. Our language was that
Mr.. Tilden's attempt to do so in 1876 ''met
the hot indignation of a vast majority of the
neople, when exposed, and found neither
apologist nor defender in its sullen but de-
feated projectors and abettors." The cry of
fraud" which the Democratic party
has kept up for seven years, and upon
which it is seriously proposed to conduct
the campaign of 1884, is based upon another
pretext altogether, and not upon the failure

Record of the Democratic Parry.

To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal:
THE chief objection l have to the Repub-
licans of France is that they did not shed
blood enough."-Jefferson The executive
which the constitution established was the
chief of an elective monarchy, a bad edition
of a Polish ng.'-Jefferson. When Burr
killed Hamilton, in Jeferson's administra-
ton, be was honored and extolled by the
leaders of the Democratic party all over the
land, especially in the South. In the lower
house of Congress one of the chief partisans
said; ''The first duel 1 ever heard of was
David killing Goliath. Our little David of
the Republicans has killed the Goliath oil the
Federalists, and l am willing to reward him
for it," The leading principles of the Demo-
cratic party were born in the bloody revolu-
ton OF France. They first called themselves
Republicans, after the Red Republicans
of France. These principles have
characterized the Democrats from the in
auguration Of jefferson, down to the mas
sacre of Danville. "As early as 1894, Genet.
a noted Frenchman, was introducing Demo-
cratic societies similar to the Jacobin clubs
of Paris" State rights, diffusion OF power
among the people, was the central idea.
AS a result of the principles, we had the
whisky rebellion. We had the notification
acts. Those rebellions did not amount
to much, but they showed what might be ex-
pected had they the power. The fugitive
slave law was enacted. The bred Scott de-
cision was passed. The Kansas troubles
came. These were but the mutterings of the
mighty storm that was TO burst upon us,
which was to try the very foundations of
this government, 1t came. We all know
the result.
Those abominable principles, and the
more abominable act of trying to enforce
them cost this nation millions of treasure
and thousands of lives.
The Democratic party is responsible before
God and the world for all the orphans, wild
ows and fatherless homes, for all the blood
shed, and for all the debt heaped upon this
nation. And yet, in the face of all this, they
go on numbering the defenseless blacks whom
their accused institutions made to become
as brutes, stufine ballot-boxes, intimidating,
and using all manner of .chicanery and de-
,eit in order to carry out their purposes.

20 the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
1t looks now as if President Arthur will
be nominated by reclamation in the next
Republican convention. This is very graft
tying on account of his fidelity to the people
Of this country, and his pure devotion and
excellent craftsmanship. He can carry New
York next year, thereby i~nsuring his cleo
aion. The Republicans of Indiana have a
solemn duty to perform, and that is to see
that Gov. A. G. Porter is the nominee for
