A PROFESSOR AND HIS "SoUL
PILLs."--A Viennese professor by
name Jaeger, has had very success
full career in the Austrian capitol with
what he calls "soul pills." from the
sale of which he has made a fortune.
Professor Jaeger claims to have dis
coverd that the human soul is not an
immaterial spirit, but an odor emana-
ting from the person, and notably dis
tinguishable in the hair. This odor
the professor has decoyed, bottled, and
afterward infused into "capillary
pills" Taken internally, these pills
are supposed to impart to their swal-
lower the best moral and mental quail
ties of the individual from the original
soul or smell. But his theory is not
half as remarkable as is the fact that
there has been a wild mania for these
pills in Vienna, and that their sale has
been enormous. The government has
finally taken the matter in hand, and
has used extreme measures to suppress
the professor and his soul pills. 1t has
been truly said that nothing is too in
credulous for human credulity, and
the quack medicine inventors faith in
this axiom Is the source of his prosper
ity. The "soul pill' as fight of fancy
beats even the mind cure.

AN ENGINEERS SUICIDE.
s. w. Walker Takes His Life by Swallowing
an Overdose of Morphine.

S. W. Walker, an old and wellknown locomo
tive engineer on the Indianapolis, Decatur e.
Springfield road, was found dead in his bed at
Haughville, yesterday afternoon, about5 o'clock.
He had been laid off from work for some time
for having disobeyed an order by running past a
station without stopping, and yesterday he was
to have taken his engine out again. He left his
wife and children at the Enterprise Hotel, whore
they made their home, Monday evening and
went to Haughville so as to be near at hand yes
terday. He retired Monday night and slept un
til about noon yesterday, when he arose and
came down stairs. The landlady told him lunch
was ready, but with the remark that he
guessed he wouldn't need it," he returned to
his room. When the time came for him to go to
his engine at o'clock he called by n servant
but as he made no answer the room was forcibly
entered and the discovery made that Walker was
dead in his bed 1t was at first thought that he
had died from hemorrhage, but DR.. Albeit, who
had been his family physician viewing the
body pronounced it a case of suicide by morphine
poisoning. Two months ago Walker is SAID to
have attempted suicide by the same
MEANS but was unsuccessful. His body
was removed to Tutewilers undertaking estab-
ishment from which it was removed to the
Enterprise Hotel later in the evening. Walker
was about fifty two years old and bore a good
reputation. He was subject to fits of melancholy,
however, and is supposed to have taken his life
while in depressed spirits.

Writings and Daniels,s Verdict.

The jury to whom was submitted the evidence
on the trial of Frank Whiting, for burglary, re-
turned a verdict yesterday, giving the accused
ten years Imprisonment 1t was only ques-
ton of length of sentence that prevented tho
jury from returning an immediate decision. A
number of ballots were taken, the result show
ing diversity of opinion, some desiring to give
q sentence as short as possible and others hold
ing out for the full term-fourteen years. A
compromise was reached on ten years
Charles Daniels, jointly indicted with Whiting,
was tried yesterday, and about the same evil
dence was offered In this case Whiting
was called as a witness by the de-
Tense to prove that the vest Dan
iels had on when arrested, and in which
DR.. Prunk's spectacles and pencil were found, be.
longed to Whiting. The witness said the vest
was his. He did this to save Daniels since for
himself the jury had already fixed punishment
The Daniels jury were out about thirty minutes
when they came to an agreement and returned a
verdict of guilty, giving MIN nine years impris-
ment.
After Whiting had testified, and while on his
way to Jail under the care of Sergeant Love- he
said to the officer: ~ will not stay in the peni-
Tertiary ten years, or even SIX. At the first op-
portunity will commit suicide"

THE NATIONAL HOLIDAY.
Arrangements for Celebrating the Fourth
Of July-The Proposed Sham Battle.

The preparations for the celebration of the
Fourth of July in the city are well under way,
and it bids fair to be big success. The execu-
tive and canvassing committees met at the post
masters rooms yesterday, and several new
features were reported in progress and concurred
in. The sham battle, which is to be the con-
concluding event of the day, is to be rendered
specially novel and interesting by pitting the
zouave companies against companies of old
soldiers of the late war. A company
of veterans is being organized in
each Grand Army post of the city,
and they expect to show the kids. of the zouave
sisted by the necessary sections of artillery, and
by visiting infantry companies The veterans
will be commanded by Col. E. f. Ritter, and the
zouaves by Col. n. r. Ruckle, and each officer
will select his own staff. Judging from the
amount of ammunition it was decided TO order,
the whole north end of the city will be blown off
during the mimic battle. A very pretty
Southern custom is to be borrowed for the
occasion-that of having a young lady to act
sponsor for each Of the military companies tax
ing part in the exhibition drills. The young
lady is elected by the company, selects her staff
of young ladies, and during the drill of her COM
pany sits with her staff in some designated place
in the amphitheater, and at the conclusion of
the drill is saluted by the company, and she
then responds to the salute with flowers, or in
any other manner she may see fit. In some in.
stances she takes command of the company, and
puts them through some of the simpler parts Of
the manual OF arms or foot movements.
The Rice Zouaves have procured their guns
and are preparing to astonish even their friends
by the excellence Of their drill. They are in
dead earnest about the matter, are working
hard, and deserve great praise for the progress
they have made.
Very wisely, the management has placed the
admission fec at the low price Of % cents for
adults and 10 cents for children under
fifteen years 1t is not expected that
the affair will be money making
concern, but the effort will be simply to make
expenses, charging little money for big enter
tainment, and making a day specially for the
thousands Of people in the city and surrounding
towns who otherwise could have no Fourth OF
July fun without going to more expense than
the condition of their pocket-books warrant
Besides the military features there are to BIO
bicycle races and fancy riding, field sports, the
roller coaster and all tho many usual attrac-
tons Of an old-fashioned Fourth of July.
The visiting military companies will be taken
care of at the fair grounds on the Fourth by
the ladies of the city. Mrs Irwin Robbins is in
charge of this department and the ladies who
served on the military carnival lunch committee
and the mothers sisters and wives of the mill
tiamen Of the city together with all other
ladies who are willing to assist are requested to
meet at Mrs Robbins's residence No West
North street, on next Friday, at 230 p. NJ.

carefully kept his premiums paid till his death
Such persistence in tho payment of premiums
commands our admiration, and such results
must commend the life insurance system and
the management of the New York Life. The

THE TERRA GOTTA WORKS.
Operations Suspended Until the Late Finan-
cial Management Is Adjusted-Suits Filed.

For some time there has been dissatisfaction
among the stockholders as to the management Of
the indianapolis Terra Gotta Works. which has
LED to close of all manufacturing operations
there for the time being. To the capital of the
company 500, coo, no material addition has been
made since the organization. Under the control
of w. f. Stilz, president, and g. L. Dickinson,
treasurer, the company's affairs have been, in
the opinion of stockholders, somewhat loosely
managed An investigation based upon this
view, showed rather embarrassing debts, partic-
ularly to employees, who had not received
pay for two months. But, notwithstanding this
condition of the works, it is said that the assets
greatly exceed the liabilities, and that a large
number OF stockholders are financially RESPONSE
bic. The company will be reorganized, and bust
ness resumed as soon as possible.
The fifty-two shares of stock held by Mr.. Still
have been turned over to the company, as we'll
as notes of the concern, signed by himself and
Dickinson as officers for a large amount of
money advanced and borrowed to carry on the
works. Stz had salary of 81, 600 per annum,
and Dickinson. one of 81 500 which, it is claimed
were fixed by themselves. With the former it
was agreed that, If the notes turned over by him
represented money advanced and borrowed by
him, he would get Them back, or a settlement
would be made upon them. Mr.. Dickinson
turned over his stock to C. w. Fairbanks, solicit
tor of the l., b. 81 W. railway.
Yesterday two suits were filed that bear upon
this matter. One was by George Kinsey. who
claims Judgment on two rotes for 81, 900 and
81. 500. respectively, signed by William F. Stilz
and George l.. Dickinson, expresident and
treasurer of the company. and the other by the
First National Bank of Indianapolis against the
same parties, which claim is made for 1884. 40
The Terra Gotta Company is q codefendant in
each suit. But in the last r. III. Adams and
Charles Cleavcland are also defendants as in
