A west bound passenger train on the Indi-
ana, Bloomington and Western Railroad was
thrown from the track near Farmer City, Hi,
poiS, at five o'clock Wednesday morning
by broken rail. Attached to the train was
the private car of President Henderson, con-
tanning the Hon. 7, A. Hendricks and party,
en- route to Peoria. This car rolled down
an embankment 10 feet and turned bottom up.
1t was with much difficulty that the occupants
got out. The entire party were pretty severe,
ly shaken up. Gov. Hendricks was slightly
bruised, but not so as to interfere with his
engagements at Peoria. A number of persons
were severely injured.

How Blaine Carried Maine.

The New York World on Saturday last
published aflidavits of four citizens of Angus
ia, Maine, relative to the bribery of voters on
the part of Republicans at the late election in
Maine. Michael Burns, saloon keeper,
swears that he was offered 500 for his intlu-
Downs showed him ten dollars that he (Downs)
had gotten for his vote; Paul Mackeay swears
that he was offered money for his vote, and
that, refusing TO accept it, Lesley Dyer,
postoffice official, had his name stricken from
the poll books; VIM. H. burgess, swears that
he sat at his window opposite polling place,
and saw several federal officials, whom he
names, taking people aside and talking to
them and giving them money; Freeman e.
Weeks swears he sold his vote for SO. lu
addition, the World publishes the names of
one hundred and fifty persons in five OF the
seven wards who are understood to have been
bribed by. Republicans to vote the Republican
ticket. After all this Blaine could make but
an increase of 225 in the Republican majority
at his own home When it is considered that
each bought vote counts double, it is quite
evident that many Republicans would not
support Blaine's ticket There will not be
so much money to spend in November, aud
if the Plumed Knight receives 10000 MAORI
ty he may be thankful. Such bribery and
corruption should ensure his overwhelming
defeat throughout the country, and the active
agents should be put behind the prison bars.

CABLE MESSAGES.
Sketch Of the Inventor OF the System OF
Keeping Their Cost within Bounds.

HERMIT" IN Troy Times.
The immense business and high rates Of the
ocean telegraph have led to new feature in
business-the manufacture Of "codes" by
which messages can be packed in simple
and economical manner. This speciality has
been pursued by u number Of packers" the
most prominent being j. G. fairfield. Great
skill is necessary since all words are to be
avoided which have similar sound. The
packers object is TO mako a word stand for
an entire sentence. For instance banker
may receive cablegram from London con-
taining the word "chowder." By turning to
his "code or book of words he finds that
this means 1.-THE Bank of England has raj sed
its rate of interest to 3 per cent" BY the
same rulo grain dealer may receive cable
gram containing the word lowered"
which by reference to his code will be in
terproted thus: buy and ship by steamer
1000 bushels corn" Tho Importance in
economizng is found in the fact that IL costs
50 to send one word to India, while China 10
nearly one.third more Ono word to the
east coast of South America costs about $3.50
and to the west coast the rate 10 So.
fairfield is from London, where he was
for fifteen years engaged in telegraphy. lie
then came to this city, where he has been
seven years or more engaged in tho code
DuSlnes9' Two UnOuSHuu DuSlucSs lncn naNc
adopted the code system, and large proper
ton of this number patronize the fairfield
system. He has just issued new method
called the Leviathan, which contains 10000
words, and every man can make his own
election and have a book prepared for his
own use, with duplicate for his foreign
correspondents. Even with the assistance Of
the code the expense Of ocean teegraphy is
sufficiently large. Brown Brothers & Co.,
for instance, pay $4,000 for this service,
and there are some houses which pay
twice tho above amount. One firm, indeed,
has paid $4,000, and If packing had
not been used the expense would have been
too great for tho business. One message has
been known to COST $500, notwithstanding
careful packing. The Hartneld-Leviathan
contains codes" in English, French, Dutch,
and all the European languages. The best in
stance of packing in ancient times was
Caesars dispatch to tho senate, "Veni, vidi,
vici." This is neat fiction, a pretty play of
fancy, but 1t suggests the wonderful skill
which might be attained in the art of brevity.
A firm in India which formerly sent it:
monthly report in sixty words now conveys
the same information in sixteen, thus making
a saving of $5S. The Herald also has q code,
and this does much toward abating the ex-
pense of its news but notwithstanding this
tho cost is 80 great that Bennett is making
arrangements to lay another cable whose tariff
will be of moro favorable character.

They Arc Having Their Innings.

The charges against Gov. Murray, of Utah
respecting irregularities in his Office while
United States marshal of Kentucky, were
considered yesterday by the house committee
investigating the expenditures in the de-
partment of justice. The ex-marshal has
been charged with sending in expense &C.
counts when no expenses were incurred.
Mr. George X. Chase, predecessor of Mr.
Brewster Cameron, was present and testified
that reports in the department Of justice sus'
tanned the charges
1t was decided to summon Representative
White, of Kentucky, to-day that he might
explain the basis of his remarks made in the
house last Monday, when he intimatcd that
the governor Of Utah was moro worthy Of
wearing striped clothes in penitentary
than holding government office. The com
mitteo expects, after hearing Mr.. White
either to give Gov. Murray an opportunity
to testify in his own behalf or to report that
that the records of tho department of justice
show that the charges are sustained and rec
ommend that he answer to that department.
