Attempted Murder and Suicide.

ST.. Louis, April 21.-Emil Moncourt yester-
day attempted to kill Andrew Fouchette, a
farmer living near Centerviile, H., seven miles
from st. Louis lie then went to his wife's
grave, in the Centerville cemetery, and shot him
Ielf in the head fatally. The two men are
brothers-in-law, and the trouble between them
grew out of criminal assault alleged to have
been made by Moncourt upon his step daughter,
who is Fouchette's niece. There was, also, fnan-
cial trouble in the family.

CINCINNATI DEFEATS THE ST. LOUIS BROWNS.
ST. LOUIS April 21.--Yhe Cincinnati club de-
feated the st. Louis Browns in very pretty
game to-day. Shallix, who pitched for the Wis
itors, and Foutz. who did the work for the home

down the score. The Browns kept the lead until
the last inning when the visitors, by fortunate
punching of hits, scooped two runs and won the
game Clinton carried off the fielding honors,
making two splendid catches in center field, one
of them preventing the scoring of two runs Fol

Thu INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL
NEW ANNOUNCEMENT.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL is rec
ognized everywhere as tho leading newspaper
OF Indiana. No proper expense is spared to
maintain this undisputed excellence and to
increase the value and interest of the paper.
THE JOURNAL was never so well equipped
to serve the public. Our arrangements for
the collection of the news of the day are more
complete than ever, and we have added some
special features which must enhance the pop
ularity of the paper.
THE JOURNAL is the only paper in In
diana that prints regularly the full reports OF
the Western Associated Press, which are now
more comprehensive than ever, covering the
whole world. These dispatches are supple
mented by the work of special correspondents
at all the principal cities and towns of the
State and of the country at large. We have
special resident representative at Washing
ton City, who looks after the news of the ma
tional capital with vigilance, paying particular
attention to that which most nearly concerns
THE JOURNALS constituency. The full
est and most reliable intelligence from Washs
ington viii be presented in our news columns,
free from party bias, impartially, and without
restraint.
Editorially THE JOURNAL is Republic
an paper, believing in the principles and
general policy of the Republican party; but il
recognizes that the day of blind party organ
ship has passed, and it proposes to be perfectly
free to criticise and condemn, but in asspirit
and with a purpose for good, having proper
regard for personal rights and regulations.
The citizen, whatever his political faith, car
be assured of seeing in the columns of TIL,
JOURNAL the fullest and fairest presentatio
of the news, and in its editorial columns sucl.
comment and structures as will command his
respect if they do not meet his approval It
may also be said that THE JOURNAL is
published as a FAMILY NEWSPAPER. II
recognizes that the women and the children
are to be instructed and entertained. They
will always find in its columns matter special
ly prepared for them, while the paper will be
so conducted as to prove welcome visitor in
the household. Tie news will be presented
in such shape as to minimize the evil, and ito
editorial and local columns will be kept freq
from moral faint.
The Railroad News of THE JOURNAL is
admittedly the freshest, fullest and most ac-
curate printed by any newspaper in the
country.

SPECIAL FEATURES.

By special arrangement with the authors,
the INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL began with

Howells, j. T. Trowbridge, E. P. Roe, T. b.
Aldrich. Frank R. Stockton, Mrs. Helen jack
son, Sarah Orne Jewett, and others of equal
celebrity. This series is now being printed in

The JOURNAL OF MONDAY of each
week prints special report of the sermon Of
Rev. DR.. Talmage of the Brooklyn Tabernacle,
preached the previous day-which sermon is
not published in other papers of the State un-
til the following Sunday. This is only one
feature showing the excellence of the Jour-

The ease with which signatures can be

was under discussion by several members
of the produce exchange It was re
marked that solid business men were not
so ready to write their names as had been
imagined. and that papers asking for APP
pointment to political positions were the
documents on which the autographs
meant nothing. A dissenter from that
view offered 10 bet that lie could get fifty
signatures within two hours TO a petition
formally imploring the British govern.

In order to benefit business IN the ex
change The wager was made.
The maker of the proposition wrote out
the request in formal language. ut the
top of a long sheet of paper. and made a
round of the floor at the most busting
hour of the day. Here he would
say TO a hurried member. Il want your
name on this paper. It's something for
a friend OF mine. Read It, Sometimes
the man would glance at the writing. see
the Joke and promise silence. but in the
requisite fifty instances the signatures
were appended without the slightest
scrutiny and on the bare assurance that il
was all right Finally the remarkable
petition was posted on the bulletin board
to raise in moderate laughter.

Under the new postal law, which went
into effect July J, last, a letter weighing a
whole ounce can be sent for the same two
cents that were before required for a let
ter only weighing one-half ounce. Post
master General Villas recently ordered an
investigation OF letter postage, with a view
to comparing the weights of letters under
the old system with those sent under the
new. For six days ending june 81. o6.6
per cent Of some 5000, 900 letters
weighed half an ounce or less each, leav-
Ing only "a per cent, which each exceeded
the one half ounce standard. 1t may
confidently be expected, therefore, that by
September or October next, when the re-
port under the new law is made. that the
number of two cent letters will be greatly
increased, while the per cent of letters
above the average weight may be natu-
rally expected to decrease. The lovers and
poets will then have a chance to transmit
their 4 cent MS. dreams Of halcyon youth
and roseate sentiment for two cents a
transmission. and with this reduced Decu-
MARY restraint. may be expected to cut
loose with appalling recklessness. The new
regulation will also give the traditional
woman's postscript a big swing.
While cheap postage-in fact, anything
cheap-commends to everybody's pocket
book on general pripincles, it appears
that this reduced postage does not ma
terialiy benefit persons who write letters
from necessity. Business men and Others
who can write what they mean in less
than n pound, will not write longer
letters, just to take advantage of the re-
duced rates, but they will write just as
many letters as before. Poor persons
ordinarily write letters only when they
have to, and are not likely to become ad-
dicted to extended e~pistolary efforts be-
canse of the new law. The only manner
in which to materially benefit the great
mass of letter writers would be by a cheap
ef rate for the number of letters transmit
ted. The benefit Of reduction in rates for
quantity of matter in each letter accrues
mainly to the forum letter writers.

at the opposite one. The box is then sus
pended In a cylindrical kettle containing

but little from that of the box.
The water is then made to boil. and tho
steam. penetrating into the box. softens
the seeds and facilitates The separation of

hours exposure to steam the seeds are
poured into a steam mortar. where they
