Two Large Burglaries.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal
FORT WAYNE, Sept. 19-This morning when
the stores of Keil & Bro, booksellers, and Louis
Wolf & Co., dry goods, were opened, it was
found that both establishments had been robbed.
The safe of Keil g. Bro, who are also publishers
of the Morning Gazette, had been forced and
nearly $1,000, the property of the firm and
of F. W. Keil, late postmaster. was
taken. Wolf s. Co. lost a quantity of furs
taken from the second story. Entrance to both
houses was effected by unknown thieves, who
gained access to the roofs by neghboring stair
way and came down into the stores through the
skylights. Both establishments are situated di-
rectly opposite the court house and in the very
center of the business portion OF the city.

erty. Miss Mamie was. only sixteen years
old, and her parents objected to her
marriage at so early an age The lovers planned
an elopement. and the girl eluded the vigilance
of her parents and fed with Brown and an init
mate friend to Lawrencevile, Ill. They failed
to secure license there, and went to Carmi,
where the necessary papers were procured and
the marriage solemnized. The first indication
old man Palmer had of the matter was that
given by telegram which announced the mar
riage
Brown was fond of the company of ladies, but
was exceedingly tickle. When he was married.
he was engaged to an estimable young lady OF
this city, with whom he had been keeping com
pany. She has since married, and, probably,
congratulates herself that Brown proved false
to her.
When Brown was reelected trustee, in 1884,
be spent between 5000 and $500 In the canvass.
and it Is quite probable that he had already been
dabbling in the bogus orders at that time. Still,
his great popularity kept him free from the sus-
picion that such actions in any man less popular
would have caused He seems to have been
quite as deep a schemer as Pollard. and the lat
ters success was in large measure due to the
efforts of his lieutenant Brown.
While Brown was considered scrupulouslv
honest by the general public. such was not the
case with John Grimsley and John Clarke. The
former was known as skrewd but unscrupu-
lous Steele township politician, who had no
credit and less honor. and who was
elected by scratch. Clarke has been in
bad order for long time. In Barr township
the Democratic majority is from $50 to 300, but
Clarke, who is Democrat and was the regular
nominee, was re elected last year by bare
majority of twenty five. 1t is believed that
Pollard and some of his partners last spring
furnished the money that helped elect
the three Davess county trustees who
are now located in the Dominion of Canada
An attempt was made last year to investigate
Clarkes books, but nothing was done. some of
the officers arguing that the lame law prevented
thorough examination of the books.

Brown one of r. B. Polard's closest part
ners, causes an interest to be felt in his history
by those who have followed the story of the
gigantic swindling scheme Browns age has
been placed at twenty six, but, as matter of
fact he is in his thirty second year, as he was
twenty eight years of age when he was first
elected trustee of this township in the spring of
1882. He was born in this county, on a farm
one mile north of Washington, where he lived
until after attaining his majority He was
the youngest of family of eight children and
the pet of all his brothers and sisters. His
parents died when he was quite young When
he was twenty three years old he began teach
ing school, and taught three terms in this town
ship and city. Just before his election as trus-
tee. in 1882, he and his brotherin-law purchased
the Hyatt House. in this city. which they owned
for one year, 1t was during the time that he
ran the Hyatt House that Brown met the
tempter Pollard, and formed habits of fast life
that led him to betray the trust given him by
the people of this township. Through Pollards
influence he introduced to the seductiya
game of draw poker with which he became in
fatnated, and during the past two years he spent
more time handling chips and lingering the cards
in the various poker rooms of this city than in
any other business. He was daring and sue
cessfu player, it is said. He was pretty cool
headed and never drank drop of intoxicating
liquors
He was married in the summer Of 1882 to Miss
Mamie Palmer, rather pretty country girl and
the daughter of Josiah G. Palmer wealthy
farmer who owns thirteen hundred acres of the
best land in the county and many thousand
dollars worth of stock and other personal prop

Russian niteracy.

From the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
All that can be said about education
in very large portion of Russia Is that
it does not exist. There is no national
provision for the teaching of the masses
in the rural districts, aad, though m u.
nicipal authorities in towns have the
power to establish schools, they have
hitherto exercised it very sparingly.
Towns, however, in the sense iii which
the word is understood in America, are
hardly to be found in the dominions OF
the Gear. The two capitals stand apart,
Of course; besides these there is not a
single city in the whole Of Russia which
would be deemed large town in Amer
jea. Only twenty have population ex-
ceeding SO. 600. and only $50 count more
than 10 900 inhabitants. Not more than
one in eight of the so, 600, 900 who make
no the subjects of Alexander III. can
be called townsEian. The remaining
seven eights of the people are dwellers

A Wonderful Clock.

A correspondent of the Boston Her
aid, who does not take the trouble to
go into details, contributes this sur
prising information: Perhaps the
most wonderful timepiece ever heard of
is clock described by Hindoo Raiah
as belonging to a native princess of
Upper India. In front of the clock
disk was a gong, swung on poles, and
near it was pile of artificial limbs.
The pile was made up Of the full num-
Der of parts of twelve perfect bodies,
but all lay heaped together in
seeming confusion. Whenever the
hands of the clock indicated the hour |,
out from the pile crawled just the num-
Der of parts to form the frame of one
man, part joining itself to part with
quick metallic click; and, when com
Pleted, the figure sprang up, seized a
small mallet, and, walking up TO the
gong, struck /, the first hour. When
2 o'clock came, two men rose up and
did likewise; and so through all the
hours Of the day, the number offigures
being the same as the number of the
hour, till at noon and midnight the en-
tire heap sprang up, and, marching TO
the gong, struck one after another,
each blow, making twelve in all, and
then fell TO pieces again"

The orange tree is hardy and lives for

1000 years old. Frost does not kill
the trees only the fruit. Trees com
mence to bear much moro plentifully
each year until 5000 or more oranges
are raised on single tree IN a single
year. When first picked the oranges
are put on racks TO remain there until
the moisture is dried from the skin.
Each orange, before being boxed, is
wrapped ia q piece of paper, the wrap
per acting as an absorbent of moisture
and keeping the moist skins OF the or
anges from coming in contact with each
other, Many people who go to Florida
see oranges on the trees that line many Of
the streets in the largest places, as well
as unpicked trees in groves. Hence
they infer that oranges are so cheap as
not to be worth the picking and boxing
