Mormon Bishops Sentence for polyqamy.

SALT LAKE, UTAH. September s-Bishop
John Sharp, Utah Director of the Union
Pacific, one Of the wealthiest aud most in
fluential Mormons living, appeared in court
to-day and pleaded guilty of unlawful CO.
habitation. He claimed that his plural
marriage was entered into before any
statute against 1t, and in good faith ac-
cording to their religion, but recognized
the supremacy Of his, adopted country's
laws, and would live within them
henceforth, and would not advise any one
else to break them. He was fined $500, and
discharged on payment thereof. Bishop
Sharp's conduct causes much comment on
the street Tonight. The s'dyed in the
woolr Mormons condemn him as a coward
whose faith was frightened out of him by
threatened imprisonment, but the progress
sive party In the church commend his
course as opening the way for others to
escape, as he will certainly have followers
soon. rsr

NAUGHTY TRUSTEES.
Others Implicated in the Polisrd swind-
ling Scheme.

.
BRowNsrowN, IND, September 17.-lt is,
now definitely known that ow en- Township
in this (Jackson) county, is Implicated in
the Pollard swindling scheme. The pres
emit Trustee, VIM. II. Bower, has informed
correspondent that he has knowledge
of outstanding certificates Of indebted
ness amounting to $1,000, and he thinks the
total amount will reach $4,000 or more be-
fore the end Is reached. Pollard was In the
county last fall and made several visits to
the Trustee then in power, Robert N. Mar
tin. Last June Martin resigned the ofhce,
made settlement with the Commissioners,
and turned over to his successor, VIM. n.
Bower all the funds on hand:
About this time the wife of
township, packed her trunk and departed
for the West, leaving her husband behind:
Since then it has been nscertained that
Martin followed her to Kansas, and remain
ed with her until after the Daviess County
developments, when he abandoned her, ana
left for other chimes, probably Canada.
Previously he bore avery good reputation
for honesty and integrity. Heis married
man, of about forty years of age, and
leaves behind a wife and several children.
II is not believed that any other Township
Trustees became entangled in Pollard's
meshes.
VINcEHNEs, IND, September 1.-THE
County Commissioners ordered the lrus-
tees Of the various townships in this county

Bin Iunbo's Bone,.

WASHINGTON, September 1s.-Jumbo's
skeleton will pass into the possession OF the
National Museum, and soon be brought to
this city. Prof. Ward, Of Rochester, ar
rived at ST. Thomas, Ontario, yesterday,
with several assistants, and removed the
skin from Jumbo's carcass and stripped the
flesh from the bones. The skin be will sent to
Tufts College and the bones to the National
Museum. 1t is not expected that the bones
will arrive here for ten days or two weeks.
Mr.. r. True, the curator of the section of
mammals at the National Museum
says that Jumbo's skeleton came to the
museum through an arrangement made
with Mr.. Barnum something over year
ago. Then Jumbo's win was made for him,
and his skin and bones were bequeathed to
the choice of the skeleton or the skin, and
chose the skeleton. OF course Jumbo's
early demise was not foreseen at that day.
There was a probability of his living one
hundred years or more. Jumbo was in the
flush of youth, being only about thirty
years Of age. He came into the possession
of the london Geological Society
in 1850. They obtained him from
the Jardin \des Plantes, Paris, by ex-
change. He was then young and COM
paratively small. He remained atthe Lon
don Geological Garden until he was pur-
chased by Barnum three years ago. IL it
had not been for the mortgage which the
National Museum had upon his bones, 1t is
thought there would have been q great
. ruggle for the possession of the skeleton,
as the skeleton OF a male African elephant
OF such size is esteemed great prize, not
only in popular sense, but scientifically.
1t is not Known at the Museum whether the
bones were injured any in the collision
with the freight train or not II any Of
the bones are fractured they
can be repaired. Mr.. Lucas
the PSYCHOLOGIST who will have
charge of the work of mounting the skele-
ton, remarked to-day that be would much
rather have to repair the fractured bones
of an elephant than of a dog or smaller
animal. Mr.. Lucas said 1t would probably
be year before Jumbo's skeleton will take
Its place In the museum. After the bones
are received they will be put to soak, and
II will require several months before, the
process OF maceration and bleaching are
completed. Cold weather Is not favora-
BILE to these processes. Another huge ele-
plants skeleton is now undergoing these
processes. This is the skeleton of Barnum's
Asiatic elephant Albert, which was shot
and killed in New Hampshire, last July,
after it had killed one of its attendants.
When 1t was decided to kill the elephant
the officials of the museum were notified.
They sent an expedition to the spot and
secured the bones. As these bones have
had tho advantage of soaking in warm
weather, they will soon be ready for artic-
ulation, and will probably make their APP
pearance In the museum this winter Jumbo
and Albert, two males of distinct s~ecies,
will make very valuable pair.

spectacle Of an enormous balloon swaying
above the city few hundred feet, drew
people from their stores and houses this
afternoon till the streets were crowded.
The excitement became intense when
shortly the air ship swooped down and inn
paled itself on the spire of the Catholic
church, near the Public Square. The ball
loon at once collapsed, and hundred citi-
zens helped to drag the concern to the
ground, The basket was empty, barring
torn shirtsleeve, cuff aud some branches
of oak, Indicating collision with tree-tops
somewhere. All efforts to discover whence
the balloon came, and the name and fate of
its occupants, have as yet been unavailing.

The Advantage 1t Ha. over the Ordinary
Aquarium.

A water-museum consists Of glass
vessels containing fish, mollusks, larv@,
and such other creatures as win live in
the small quantity of water these vessels
hold. The great advantage that the
water-museum has over tho aquarium
is, that while the latter is bulky and has
many dark corners in which you can
see only with difficulty, If at all, the jars
Of the museum can be easily carried
about and held to the light, so that you
can readily observe the smallest move
ments OF your specimens. Besides, in
an aquarium you can have but one kind
Of water at time, either salt or fresh,
and you can keep only those specimens
that will live together peaceably; but in
water-museum one may have both
sorts OF water Gin different vessels), and
both marine and fresh-water specimens.
This museum, or water-cabinet, too,
costs very little, while an aquarium is
not only expensive but troublesome.
We must first make sure OF sunny

of the way, and where there is room for
small table. Then we must forage for

on the table in the sunny window, so
that they will all get plenty Of light, as
this Is necessary 10 most forms Of life
One or two of the large jars had best be
used for fish, and to make them attrac-

with clean river sand and pebbles, or
fragments OF rock IN the shape of grot-

to eat the almost invisible weeds that
grow upon them. OF course, all the
vessels must be filled with water and
sprigs Of aquatic plants, such as water
cress, vallisneria, or duck-weed, placed
In them to keep the water pure. Many
kinds Of water insects are carnivorous,
or prey upon the weaker species. OF
course, it won't do to keep these in the
