INDIANAPoLIs, May 2S.-Thc National
Greenback convention assembled at Eng
lish's Opera house at II O'Clock. Hon,
John Tiler, of Florida, was elected tenn
porary chairman. All the states were
represented except Delaware and Missis-
sippi. The business transacted at the
morning session was the appointment of n
committee on credentials, consisting of
one from each state. There was a contest
from Maine. One set of delegates, head
ed by Scion Chase, anti-Butler, is the
only one of importance. George o.
Jones, of New York, attempted several
times to get in a resolution favorable to
the Chase delegation, bat was not rccog
nized by the chair and hurled down by
the convention. Adjourned till , o'clock
to give the credential committee time to
report.
During the day the following kilograms
passed between Governor Begole and
General Butler:
"ISDLANAPoL1s, May 2s.-To Governor Ben
Butler, Boston. VIII You accept the nominal
ton on a satisfactory platform. No other ques-
ton here. (Sisned) j. w. BEGoLE."

TO you which will cause me to be pointed ut as "A

Signed BENJ.'F. BUTLER
Almost the entire afternoon session was
occupied in discussing the question wheth-
er delegates representing the states whose
delegations were not complete should be
allowed to cast the entire vote to which
the states were entitled. The discussion
was quite spirited and at times great CON
fusion and disorder prevailed. After Il
three hours debate it was decided no
votes would be counted except those of
the Delegates actually present, this being
regarded as a triumph for Butler. Under
this decision the actual vote of the CON
vention is his. 1t was ordered hat all
resolutions be referred to a committee on
resolutions without debate, A committee
of one from each state was then appointed.

lone UP Sure Enough.

PITTSBURG, May 2S.-In the extremely
muddled condition of the Penn bank af-
fairs, and in the absence of the president,
the only person who holds the keys of the
bank, and the reticence of the directors
and others concerned, no definite conclu-
sion can be reached. But it is now taken
for granted that the depositors are foutu-
nate if they get ) per cent on the mounts
entrusted. 1t is definitely known that the
concern is completely Quilted; the assets
are diminishing rapidly and the liabilities
swelling even more rapidly. Those who
had a call on the %esourcc drew with an
unsparing hand, and there is little left to
tell the tale. The books shed very little
light on the identity as to those who have
~despoiled the institution, as the accounts
are fictitious. Shortage grows hourly as
the intricacies of the book accounts are
unraveled, and from the $3.50, 600 over
drawn checks has grown to 81 900, 900 to-
day, and the end is not yet. The liabili-
tiles are believed to reach over s., 900. 900.
The said banks methods dates back three
years to the time Of the Cherry Grove oil
excitement, and since then the bank has
been losing steadily.
The deficiency still grows and this even
ing reached 81, 200, 900. A heavy defal-
cation is also limited at which it is claimed
will reach nearly a million dollars. The
directors have been in session all day and
nave decided to have a thorough investi-
CATION and full statements will be furn-
ished TO the public. If a wrong has been
done by any one they shall be made to
pay the penalty. Many of those who
made deposits on Friday threaten the
bank officials with criminal proceedings
for false pretences in obtaining money.

Another Wonderful Motor.

An announcement has been made in
Chicago of the discovery of new and
remarkable motor known as THE
Triple Termic Motor" The new mo-
tive power is the vapor of bi-sulphide
of carbon. 1t has been in practical use
in driving n 60-horse power engine for
six months past in a cement paving man
ufactorv on West Fory-sixth street,
New York. The discoverer of the
means of applying the new motive
power and the machinery adapted to
its use is w. 5. Colwell, formerly of
Pittsburg, who, it is stated has been at
work many years on their application.
The material from which the vapor is
generated, bi-sulphide of carbon, is a
discovery of the last century. The
force and power of the vapor in its APP
plication, far surpasses that Of steam,
and its application and regulation are
already under more perfectly safe
control than that of steam. The in
vention or discovery consists in evolving
bi-sulphide of carbon into vapor for
operating machinery by generating
heat in generator and transferring it
into a vessel containg bi-sulphide of
carbon. The latent heat of the steam
is utilized to convert the bi-sulphide of
carbon into vapor, only 1lS deg. being
necessary to produce this vapor. A
prominent engineer of Chicago, in Civ
ing the result of his examination of the
new motor, says; Il saw 15-horse
power boiler, with very little fire under
it, generating steam, which generated
Al. Il i
engine of 60-horsc power. A syndi-
cate has been formed which controls
the invention and all its patents, with
a capital stock of go, 900, 900. of which
S., 200, 600 has already been realized on
stock. Ex-Gov. Hubbard, of Texas,
and ex-Collector Baird, of Boston, are
mentioned as being largely interested
in the new motor syndicate.

Edenic Diet.

The AHa Californian says: The half
dozen cranks who for the sake of noto-
riety, are promoting rare vegetable
eating association, held q mutual adj
miration society the other day. Before
the meeting commenced an angular fe-
male with complexion something like
a well-worn saddle that had been out
in the rain, took it upon herself to in
terview an Alta reporter. She COM
menced by asking his name, age, occu-
patton, salary, and mode of life. and,
on being informed that he was an Irish
nobleman in disguise, working on the
Altd for 81, 900 Il month, she demanded
to know why the alta had not paid
more attention to the "Edenic diet" as
she was pleased TO style raw turnips and
other cattle food. The reporter replied
that the Edenic scheme had been some
what frowned down by the Alta editors
because the promoters of the scheme
were not consistent.
Nov you are real mean to say we
are not thoroughly consistent. We
never eat any animal food and never
cook anything" replied the rather
damaged looking vestal.
You claim to follow the example of
our first parents as an excuse for re-
lapsing into the savage habits of the
Digger Indians; if they consider the
example of Adam and Eve so good in
one way, then why not in anothcr?
Why don't you 60 in for the whole of
the Eden business?" asked the reporter.
What do YOU mean, sir?" asked the
pioneer damsel, looking about the same
as the girl who finds that the long
wished-for-sealskin given her by Au-
gustus is one of the Clara street brand.
IF you admire the Eden style of
grub so much. why don't you tackle
the Eden costume, toop Discard your
drapery and bifurcated skirts, and
prance around in n fig-leaf apron. That
would suit your style of beauty about
as well as raw potatoes and wheat will

piled the reporter.
"What, me walk around nearly n!
Oh, its too horrid! Besides | should be
arrested by the police, and then, think,
too, all the weavers and spinners and
milliners would be ruined" rejoined
the female, irately.
Cant you have as much regard for
the cooks, walters, bakers and restau-
ranters as you have for milliners and
suchg" asked the reporter.
"Oh, it's no use arguing with you, l
see; you scoff ut everything you don't
understand, said the Edenic promoter
as she closed the interview and the
door with simultaneous bangs.

In the Right Place.

The ''Bystander" of the Detroit Times
has some very sensible ideas upon
adoption. wonder, he says, how many
of the toilers in the great vineyards
of life are really working in the grooves
originally designed for their use by the
greatest of all architects. i am very
much afraid that, were the lines sharp
ly drawn, about nine out of every ten
of the sons of men would be found to be
putting in ten solid hours per day Dig
ging in somebody else's potato patch.
I have theory of my own in this mat
ter. / believe that every man Is born
into the world for a distinct purpose,
and unless he gets his grip on that par
ticular purpose he will never rise above
the mediocre. That is, that while a
man may do a great many things well,
he will never attain eminence save in
the one thing for which he was espec-
tally endowed before birth. The thing
may be--and generally is-the one
thing which seems to be farthest beyond
his grasp. He may see Only 'as
through glass darkly," but there will
be certain indefinable something inn
planted within his breast which will
cause him to blindly struggle towards
the mountains, beyond which lies ''his
Italy," He may never reach it-al
things considered, the chances are that
he never will--and he will be possessed
through life with vague sense that he
has been deprived of something which
should rightfully have been his.

Anecdote from the Cowboy Country

Two ladies, one from the East and
the other from the West, were sitting
last summer on the veranda of one OF
our fashionable frontier hotels in Miles
City chatting together, when two cattle
men, clad in leather pants, buckskin
shirts and sombreros, rode up.
"Oh, N.Y." exclaimed the Eastern
lady, "therc are some of those horrid
cowboys; let us go inside"
"Why, you wretch" cried the little
Western woman, that's my husband,
pointing TO the foremost horseman.
"And the otherP" inquired the East
