Francis Cation, who has been investi-
eating the heredity of genius, concludes
that the brain of a child naturally tends
to develop the faculties, more or less
equally commingled, of both its parents.
This general rule is, however, modified in
the first place by the superiority of one
sex over the other. In some fnmilies
the influence of the fathers intellect. or
want of intellect, is conspicuous in all
the children, and prevails altogether
over that of the mother. In other fami-
lies the positions are reversed, and in
many instances some of the children re-
semble one parent and some the other.
Sometimes they are like neither parent,
but an uncle, aunt or some other col
lateral relative.

A statement of the financial condition

county commissioners, would by looked
over by the citizens with a great deal of
interest. A great deal of gratitude and
praise is due to the board for the master

three years.
There seems to be lull in the many
suggested enterprises of last winter. Gas
works, water works, saw-mills, planning
mills, furniture factories, ice factories;
machine shops, etc, are dropped for the
hot season, to be revived again when
the impulse of newcomers and visitors
from abroad stimulate the activity and
eradicate the present lethargy of our
really enterprising business men.
One of the most direct ways to increase
the revenue or the city, is for the
council to open out the streets leading
to the southern and western lines
of the corporate limits. AS an exem-
plifcation of this, the improvement of
Kirby street few years ago, by the city
council, now adds to the taxable proper
ty of the city about $15, 900, with pros
pect of being double that amount soon.
! The expense of clearing out Emmett,
Hawkins, Lemon, Orange streets and
some others would be very small, com
pared to the perpetual increase of revenue
that would result to our Gem City, at
once. You cannot encourage the cree
tiop of fine and costly dwellings on
streets now growing up in palmetto
and scrub and unfit for travel, which OBJ
struct many outlets to the city. There
are only two or three streets which pre-
sent a drive way to the country.

A SENSATIONAL EPISODE.
An Injured Husband and Father Comes from
New York to Claim His Child.

A somewhat sensational episode occurred yes
terday morning in the rooms occupied by John
Hoerle and woman whom he represented as
his wife No 233 South Delaware street. in
which, after spirited encounter with two men
who had visited the apartments shot was fired
by Hoerle, but without injury to any
one. Hoerle came to this city last
summer and until a week ago kept saloon be-
low the rooms where he lived with the woman
supposed to be his wife and a little child. When
the two men visited his rooms yesterday morn
ing, quarrel was at once provoked, and fight
resulted The sequel to the trouble it developed
afterwards, was that the woman who was living
with Hoerle was the runaway wife of one of
the men, named John Groll whose home is
in New York, where he was the proprietor of a
saloon and boarding house. Hoerle spent great
deal of time about his place, and he devoted him
self to cutivating the acquaintance of Mrs Groll
A part of the property was sold and with the
money obtained from the sale Mrs Groll, with
her child, left New York last May. as her hus-
band supposed. to visit her home
in Germany. After the eapse of some
time without hearing from his wife, Groll took
passage for Germany, but failing to find any
track of her returned to New York A week ago
ne received lnIOfl1dJlOn JnaU MS VIE could be
found in indianapolis, and he came directly here,
reaching the city yesterday morning. He found
the place where Hoerle was living with his wife,
and taking friend with him, visited their
rooms. His object was to recover possession
of the child, and during the difficulty she was
stolen away by Grolls friend, and was taken
directly to the MISUNDERSTANDING depot,
where they were Joined afterward by the father
With the money which had been obtained by the
sale of the property. Groll SAYS that his wife
came directly to the city with Hoerle and gave
him the money, with which he purchased the
saloon that he had been running The woman
is ten years the senior of Hoerle. Groll left for
New York on the morning train over the Bee
line

At the opening of the presidential year the
attention Of all intelligent people is directed to
the newspaper. With the session of Congress
the importance of an enterprising and reliable
daily and weekly newspaper becomes even
greater. THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL seeks
to excel, not only in the completeness and re-
liability of its news, but in the character and in
the method of its presentation. THEJoURNAL

New York, Boston, Chicago and at all other
leading cities in the country, while its corps
of correspondents cover all events of import
ance occurring in any of the towns and cities
of Indiana, and of those portions of Illinois and
Ohio which it naturally serves.
It viii be the particular care of THE JOURNAL,
during the year 1884, that its readers shall be
kept fully informed of matters connected with
the great presidential struggle upon which the
country is about to enter, and with the no less
important canvass for the new Congress to be
chosen next November, as well as of all other
important political movements.
The financial and commercial department of
THE JOURNAL includes full and accurate reports
Of all movements affecting the interests of
capitalists and business men that occur in Eu-
rope or America. Its daily record of the Chi
found trustworthy record and guide by all
interested in such matters.
In local matters THE JOURNAL prints all that
is worth printing and in which the public is
interested. It pays particular attention to
those events which affect the best thought
and social advancement of the people.
The WEEKLY JOURNAL gives, in a condensed
but sufficiently ample form, all the news of
each week, made up to the latest hour, to-
gether with a comprehensive view of all the
markets in which the people are interested.

HOW Clay Took His Defeat.

I'll
The following interesting incident was re-
lated many years ago by Mrs. Robert Todd,
of Kentucky, the stepmother of Mrs. Abra-
ham Lincoln, and has never before been
printed
The Todds and Clays were always on init
mate terms, and in 1874 were living near
each other in Lexington, Ky. Henry Clay
and James K Polk were then rival candidates
for the presidency, the chances, as was gene
rally supposed, being strongly in favor of the
great Wing leader. As it turned out, how
ever, the contest was much closer than had
been anticipated, and finally advices from
other States showed that the result hinged
upon the vote of New York. There were no
telegraphs in those days, and news had to
come by the slow course of the mails, The
New York mail was due in Lexington about
ten o'clock in the evening of certain day.
and it was known would tell the story of a
victory or defeat. AS it happened, a young
lady relative of Mr.. Clay was to be married
on the same evening, and insisted upon his
presence. though under the circumstances he
would much rather have stayed at home. Mr..
and Mrs. Todd attended this memorable we'd
ding party, which was not large, and com
posed almost exclusively of the family con-
nections and intimate friends, all ardent
Wings and of course deeply interested in the
pending political event.
AS the hour for the arrival of the mail ap-
preached Mrs. Todd saw two or three gentle
men quietly leave the room, and knowing
their errand watched eagerly for thei return.
Morning journal and courier. [volume] (New Haven [Conn.]) 1848-1894, 1884-07-14

When they came in she knew by the express
sion of each countenance that New York had
gone Democratic. The bearers Of the bad
tidings consulted together moment in the
corner, and then one of them advanced to
Mr.. Clay. who was standing in the center of
a group, and handed him a paper. Mrs.
Todd, aware of what it contained, fastened
her eyes upon him. He opened the paper,
and as he read the paragraph which sounded
the death knell of his political hopes and life
long ambition, she saw distinct blue shade
begin at the roots of his hair, pass slowly
over his face like cloud and then disappear.
Without saying word upon the subject
which must have monopolized all his
thoughts, he laid down the paper, and, turn
ing to table, filed glass with wine, and,
raising it to his lips with a pleasant smile,
said at drink to the health and happiness
of all assembled here" Setting down the
glass, he resumed the conversation as if moth
ing had occurred, and was usual the life
and light of the company. But Mrs. Todd
said that as soon as the contents of the paper
were known, ga wet blanket fell upon every
body" and in half an hour all the guests had
departed with heavy hearts---feeling that gal
liant 'Harry of the West" had fought his last
presidential battle and lost the prize forever.
