NJ. A. DE WANGENHEIM Who was shot by a dis
appointed ofiice-seeker was Minister of Public
Wurship and Instruction for the little Duehies of
saxe-Coburg- Gotha. The population OF the two
provinces of Coburg and Gotha only amounts to
about 100000. The reigning family has amassed
a large private fortune through the founder of
the house, Duke Ernst. He was commander of
the Fifth Corps d'Armee in the wars against Ma
poleon, and in return for his services the Con-
gress of Vienna made him present of the prin-
cipality of LichtenDurg. After twenty years of
ownership he sold this valuable property to the
King of Prussia for about 81 100000. This nice
fortune he left to his son-Duke Ernst-who, by
means of large civil list and an economical
style of living, has considerably added to his
patrimony. The De Wangenheims are great
favorites at the Ducal Court a brother of the de-
ceased being grand marshal.

in their hands. Without being captious,
however, the Express desires to say that the
system will prove failure in Indianapolis.

Probably a schemer,s Plan.

Mayor Grubbs is in receipt OF the following
letter from Thomas Hunt of Port Perry, On
tario:
State, some time ago, had adopted a scheme for
paying off the State debt by sinking fund, to
which any person was at liberty to con-
tribute any amount, and a certain per
centage would be allowed on, the amount
contributed, annually, during the life of the con-
tributOr; the amount to become the property of
the State at his death, free from any charge. I
am now f1fty-six years of age and have about
81 500 to invest. so that 1t may yield me an
nual income sufficient for my maintenance"
AS no such proposition has ever been made by
the State, nd mfr. Hunt is explicit in what he
says, Mayor Grubbs inclnes to the belief that
some one is engaged in an endeavor to enrich
himself by making represe nations of this
character, and warns Mr.. Hunt and the general
public against him.

The Proposed ohuroh Union.

The congregation of the Fourth Presbyterian
Church met last evening to take action ON the
proposed fusion OF the congregation with that
of the Third or Tabernacle Church, The meet
Ing was a lengthy one, NOT adjourning until
half-past 10 o'clock, and the advantages and
disadvantages of the proposed ,union were
looked at in every light, and long and ably dis
cussed. There were about sixty people present
at the meeting, and there seemed to be slight
preponderance of sentiment against the union.
Part Of this was due to the fact that the status
of their pastor, Rev. A. 81. Carrier, to whom
they are much attached, would be changed, as in
ease Of a union he might not be retained and
for the further reason that new church might
have to be built. which would occasion still
further complications However. several mem
bers spoke to good advantage of the
benefit OF such union, that
large and efficient congregation would take
the place of two that are not working to the best
advantage, and over this con gregation would be
one minister in place of the two now required,
with church expenses costing q per capita of $40
In one church and S42 in the other church
ton, the following resolution was passed:
Resolved that the secretary Of this meeting
shall he instructed to eend printed ballot in the
following form, Shall conference committee of
five be appointed to meet similar committe
from the Tabernacle Church to consider the ad-
Visibility and conditions of union with that
church -yes no. to every member of the
church and to every contributing member of the
congregation, and that such ballots as are re-
turned to the secretary shall be counted and the
vote reported at the annual meeting of the
Church"
The annual meeting will be held about the
middle of next mon TN, at which time the status
of the question of the union, far as the Fourth
church is concerned, will be understood.

Centre L,dgee,s Fiftieth Anniversary.

The celebration of the tftieth anniversary of

was music by the Apollo trio; songs by 81. G.
Levi, who is a remarkably fine TENOR an address
by Jonathan W. Gordon. and historical sketch
of Centre Lodge by Austin Fl. Brown. OF Mr..
Browns sketch, 1t may be said that 1t was par
ticularly interesting, embracing not merely the
fifty years of history of Centre Lodge, the Oldest
lodge in Indianapolis, and the parent of all the
Masonic lodges of this city, but history of Ma
sorry In Indiana from its beginning. The cere-
mony of installing the newly officers was
conducted by Past Master Joseph Solomon, in a
most impressive manner Austin a. Brown act
ing marshal. Following the programme
above outlined came a social reunion, with a
banquet to which over 800 persons-members
and their families and invited guests-sat down.
This is the initial entertainment of the kind this
wlnt er, and everything was done on such a
grand scale that IL is not likely that Centre
Lodge will be excelled by any entertainments of
her sister lodges that may follow.

THE SCARLET LETTER.


Following this, under date of November %.
came the most important letter of them all, in
which Mrs. johnson made full and free con
fession of her adulterous relations with Major
Henry giving specific instances and incidental
circumstances. For obvious reasons this cam
not be published, and it is sufficient to say that
in it Mrs. johnson kept nothing back from her
husband. She still attributed her downfall to
that mysterious influence exerred by, Henry
aud gave a graphic account of how she tried to.
cast it off. Throughout there were piteous ap-
peals for mercy, not so much for her own sake
as for her sons. In conclusion it reads:

Following this were a number of letters full of
affection for her husband and son, and contrition
of heart for her own faults. In every one she
pathetically appeals for them to write to her. In
one she says:
"Ob, papa, won't you tell me about YOURSELF

between him and his wife and DIR. Wakefield on

the case, and will add new light to the disclos-

1t is understood that the theory of Major Cor

that they were written under duress, and that
