The Insane Hospital Contracts.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
was talking with a boiler maker to day about
the contracts for the State institutions. He
said that his trade was very much depressed, and
that there were over fifty idle boiler-makers in
the city. Many of these men own their own
houses, and he thought it pretty rough on them
that they have to pay in their State taxes and
then have the money sent out of the State to
buy boilers These workmen have not forgotten
the "taffy" given them by the Democratic speak
ers about their party being the true friend Of
the workingman, etc.
Why should Indiana send away that money,
raised by taxing her citizens, for work that can
as well be done in the State2 Governor Gray is
the president of the board of asylum commits
sioners. Why did he not raise his voice in favor
of the industries of Indiana, he did last fall,
and insist that 500, 600, put in circulation by
employing labor in the State would put many
idle men to work. How sentiments change after
election! STovEY, the Molder.

A Beautiful Ministry.

Among the blessed ministers of the W. C. T..
u, none seem so fragrant with the spirit of
Him who came to seek and to save the lost, as
the flower mission work in prisons and re-
formatories. The thought of visiting such State
institutions one day in the year, bearing to the
unhappy inmates the story of Christ's love asex-
pressed by lips touched with divine sympathy,
and more eloquently still by the flowers
which are left with each one, originated
over two years ago in the heart of the
Indiana superintendent of the W. c. T. U.
flower mission work, and has rapidly developed
into day of national observance, the 9th of
june being consecrated to that service. Through

An Unknown Body Found Floating in
the 81. Johns River.

JACKsoNvILLE, Dec. 29.-The body Of
an unknown man was found floating yes
terday in the st. John's river at Keystone
Blun, half a mile below the city. A
coroners inquest was held today, and
upon the testimony of the examining
physician the jury found that the deceas-
ed came to his death from blow dealt
with some blunt instrument upon the
back OF the head By unknown parties.
The back of the skun of the dead man
was fractured, which undoubtedly was
the cause OF death. A sailor named Wat
son has been missing some days from the
British brigantine Argyle, now in port
here, and 1t is believed the deceased is he.
Deputy Sheriff Hazelton saws there was a
fight among the sailors Of this vessel on
the night OF Dec. %. The circumstances
point to murder. There was nothing on
the body to aid in its Identification. The
seamen on the Argyle are retcent. The
affair will be thoroughly investigated.
