STOLEN CORRESPONDENCE.
A Son of the Poet Gives the Facts as to the
Purloining of the Carlyle. Emerson Letters.

BosToN, Oct. 13-In regard to the report that
portions of the late Emerson Carlyle correspond
ence had been stolen, Mr.. Edward Emerson, of
Concord, son of the poet, gives some Of the
facts Shortly after Carlyles death it BECAME
known to Mr.. Emerson that many of the letters
were missing, and after long and trying search
the robber was found to be none other
than trusted private secretary of
Mr. Carlyle who has since died This person
had scattered the letters broadcast throughout
the leading cities, his design being, apparently,
to distribute them where the attached autograph
would bring the highest prices The possession
of these letters became vitally necessary in the
preparation of the correspondence, and many of
them were finally secured through advertise
ments, and by paying literally for their return.
Others are still missing, and the matter of their
recovery has been placed in legal hands The
matter has been kept from the public until such
time as it was thought they could assist in
their recovery. The stolen letters have
been circulated for sale chiefly in
London and New York Mr. Emerson has slight
hopes of being able to secure the letters neces-
sary to complete the next issue of the Emerson
Carlyle correspondence.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Oct 13.-Although the tele-
graphic reports, owing to the ravages of last
nights storm, were very meager to-day, intense
interest was shown by the people here in the
Ohio election. AS usual there were eager
crowds about the telegraph Offices, yearning for
some indication of the drift affairs were taking,
and little betting was INDUCED in Democrats
who risked money on the outcome of the days
ton; they would not venture anything on the
Legislature. AS rule, the Democrats did not
appear to feel any great degree of hope. Many
of them took the ground that Ohio a Re-
publican State, and that it was bad policy,
politically to encourage any hope of Democratic
success. Democrats who took this view argued
that the Ohio Democratic leaders had made q
mistake in sending abroad opinions of party sue
cess there. They said that under the circurn-
Stances a Republican victory would have
depressing effect upon the Democracy of New
York, whereas had it been steadily asserted that
Ohio was Republican State, and likely to go
that way, the New York Democrats would have
been prepared for party defeat in the Buckeye
State, and such defeat would have no effect upon
them. 1t was generally admitted that the candi-
dacy Of Senator Sherman for reelection impart-
ed an element Of strength to the Republican
contest in Ohio
1t is ascertained that the number of govern
ment clerks from Ohio who went home to vote
was the smallest for many years.

Newspaper Comment.
CINCINNATI, Oct 14-The weather last night
and during the early hours this morning was
anything but an incentive to enthusiasm. The air
was damp and chilly, and a. light rain fell almost
continuously. After midnight when the cleo
tion of Foraker was made certain, there was
some cheering in squads, but no concerted dem
onstrations occurred. The saloons on Vine
street did not close at midnight, under the law
passed by the last Legislature, but were doing a
big business, with open doors.
Judge Foraker spent the night in an office
near the telegraph building. where with a few
friends. he received the returns. He was
gratiied with the first indications, but
not quick to claim an advantage
an expression of relief. He received many tele
grams OF congratulation, and after the returns
had shown figures sufficient to overcome the
plurality against him in 1853. he went to his
home on Walnut Hills.

fraud of the gang Democratic in this city, with
which the Commercial Gazette has made the
people familiar, was in full operation
yesterday, and it would be impossible to exag
gerate the reckless wickedness that was perpe
trated. The indications as we write are
that the scounirels have done their des-

hcans have the Legislature outside of Hamilton
county. and that they have carried the county.
II they have done so. the people of this city may
reverently thank God and take courage.

Waco Light.


For several years there has been
great complaint as to the quality OF
gas furnished this city by the pres.
ent company, and the poor character
of the service generally. The lamps
are so dilapidated in many places
that when sharp wind strikes them
the flame is extinguished, and the
locality dependent upon that lamp
for light, is left. The deduction is
not made, however, when the bill is
rendered to the council. Waco is a
muddy, uneven town in winter at
best. But In season like this, when
business is active and everything in
rush, it is particularly inconvenient
upon dark night. The proposition
to light the city with the Jenney
system of electric illumination
strikes our people with peculiar
force, and If put to the vote, we be-
lieye 1t would carry by very large
majority. The action of the council
In special session ON Friday night
VIII, therefore, meet with general
favor, and we hope to see the thing
fully under way in a short time.
This matter does not spring from
any hostility to the present gas COM |
pany. 1t is only the practical express
sion of veteran determination ON
the part Of our people to have more
and better light, if that is at all DOS
sible.

st. Paul recommended temperance

If the great apostle were here now
he would be surprised and doubtless
very greatly shocked at the intemp-

continue his good work on earth.
Where Paul tolerated and even rec
commended wine, the newer apostles
declare il n moral as well as physi-

Paul in all this. But we imagine the
