moved before it is accepted by the Gov
eminent. The boat has made the re-
quired speed, but the Secretary of the
Navy now insists that it shall demon
strate its capacity to do good work in
rough weather. Evidently the days of
the "Pinafore" regime of the navy are
at an end and practical work is at last to
be required of this hitherto strictly or

gain or too-loose contract will be
settled in very short time now, and
the Dolphin either accepted or rejected.
From present indications, the latter will
be the result of the correspondence now
passing between the Secretary of the
Navy and the Attorney General.

Agricultural Machinery.
One of the most admirable features of
the fair is the exhibit of agricultural
machinery and appliances, an exhibit
which has never been surpasSed-if, in
deed, it has ever been equalled by any
thing of its kind in this State. The
exhibit occupies the large tent ON the
north side of the ground, and oNerioWS
into the space in front. An unusually
large number of well-known manufactur-
ers and dealers are represented. The
largest exhibit is that of Burlington's en-
terprising dealer in farm implements and
machinery, Albert q. Peirce. Mr.. Perce $
exhibit occupies the centre of the tent and
the ground in front, and comprises all
the standard farm implements and labor

AN OHIO VILLAGE SWEPT AWAY
Washington Court House Made "A Scene of
Desolation-Five Persons Killed and
Many Fatally Injured-Every
Bnsiness House DESTROYED.

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio, Sept "a terrible
cyclone struck Washington Court House,
a village of 400 inhabitants twenty-five
miles west of here, at o'clock last even
ing, almost literally sweeping it from the
earth. The tornado whirled up Court
street, the main business thoroughfare,
and ruined almost every business block on
it, at least forty or fifty in all. Hardly a
private residence in the town escaped,
fully 400 buildings going down.
\ later despatch says: The tornado al

Not Il single store in the square is left in

that it is almost impossible to pass

SECOND DAY.
Wednesdays Programme at Howard Park
Postponed on Account OF Rain.

The Joint exhibition at Howard park
which opened under such auspicious cir
cumstances received serious set back
Wednesday from wet weather. the rain
which began Tuesday night continuing
at frequent intervals during the entire
day, and the atmosphere being so raw as
to render winter wraps necessity. 1t
was evident early in the morning that
nothing could be done in the way of carry
ing out the days programme, and but few
people, comparatively, visited the grounds,
the incoming trains with but few eXcep-
tions bringing scarcely any visitors from
outside towns. The aspect of the grounds
showed striking contrast to the hustle
and activity which prevailed there on
the previous day. During the forenoon
the main part of the grounds
were almost entirely deserted the few
visitors present, huddliug around the re-
! freshment booths or at intervals seeking
shelter from the rain in Floral Hall and
other accessible places and practically
nothing was done. Shortly after noon
| the rain ceased for Il time and quite a
number of visitors went to the park, more
out of bare curiosity than from the eN
pectatiou of seeing any of the programme
| carried out.

THE YACHT RACE POsrTONED.

NEW YORK, Sept. S.-The same bad luck
attends the race to-day that did yesterday.
There was very little wind, and a collision
occurred between the yachts to add to the
discontinue of the whole affair. At 1920
Il. m, the yachts were under sail, beating
to the Hook from their anchorage, the
wind being light and the weather hazy.
At 1890 the Genesta had passed Sandy

Large odds We're offered for the Puritan.
At 1870 the signal was given to prepare,
and the yachts manTuvred for their
places to cross the line.
| In lufIing up the Genesta flew round in
| quick answer to her helm, and the Puri-
| tan at the moment happening to pay off,
the Genesta rammed her bowsprit into the
| Puritan's mainsail 1t was unavoidable,
and crash went the bowsprt as it tore
through the taut canvas of the Puritan.
The GeneSta's bOwsprit then fell into the
water under the bow tangled in the bob
stays and running gear, the sails tlapping
while the Puritan swung around with u
bad hole in her mainsail.
| Intense excitement and displeasure were
shown on both sides. The Genesta's ) crew
picked up the bowsprit and both yachts
were soon surrounded by steamers. The
Genesta was taken in tow and the Puritan
came in stays and stood into the Hook,
the race being declared Off for the day.
The accident occurred a quarter of mile
from Scotland Lightship.
I AS far as can be learned the Puritan was
at fault in the fouling. but might lave

acted differently The Genestas bowsprit
was broken off close to the stem and took

Puritan has suffered some damage.

THE PEOPLES PAPER

There ended on Saturday, by the passage
OF the Williams Telephone bill in the
Senate, vigorous contest before the Legis-
lsture between a monster monopoly and
the interests of the business people of Indi-
ana. The Central Telephone Company, a
branch OF the American Bell Telephone Com
pany, has been exscs ting from 81 to s. per
month rental for each of the several thous-
and telephones in use in Indiana. This
shameless extor.ion met foe in Representa-
tire S. W. Williams, of Vincennes, who in
troduced bill in the House to reduce ths
tolls from So to 50 per month for the use of
single telephone, and from 81 10 81 90 per in
strument where one renter had two or more
in use. The bill was passed by the House
with only II votes against it. Upon
it's being transmitted to the Senate officers
and stockholders of the Central Telephone
Company, the American Bell Telephone
Company and the Western Union Telegraph
CompsDy-the three corporations being SUBJ
stantially one and the ssme-assembled in
apolis from various cities to work for
the defeat of the bill. These were supple.
menied by corps Of lobbyists and through
out last week the most active lobbying done

proceeding was before the eyes Of the Indian
apolis press. and yet of all the papers here.
not another one than the Sentinel uttered
one word in behalf OF the bill and the inter-
ests of the people of the State represented by
the bill.
While the Sentinel was daily making an
earnest fight for the passage of the measure,
its contemporaries, one and all, were dumb
as oysters. The extortion of the monopoly
was so fisgrant that none OF them dared
champion it, and even the two Senators who
spokeiagainst the bill made no claim that
the tolls sought to be reduced were not ex-
tortionate. That the other papers should
maintain silence upon . controversy preg-
nant with such Importance to the buziness
interests of the State Is passing strange. Bat

MISS SWEETS INCOME.

II the following from correspondent is
correct the income of Miss Sweet, the Chi

According to your editorials you are greatly mis-
informed as to the salary and fees OF Miss Ada C..
Sweet the Pension Agent at Chicago.
You state II at $1,000 per annum for eleven years
making ii $4,000.
There are about $4,000 pensioners on the rolls at
Chicago, each OF whom are paid four times year.
making III, Zoo individual payments. For each
individual payment she received twenty-five
cents for eight years Of the time besides her regu
lar salary OF 81 900 per year and for about three
years at the rate OF fifteen cents aud her 81, 900
salary, you will that for the first eight years
she got for paying 80, 600 pensionersas fees $780,
UO and salary s32o0p-making S272 600 for the first
eight years. Add to this what she has received at
the rate Of fifteen cents fer each individual pay

much for clerk hire and expenses. So you will
see that the above Is clear money to her except
what she may have had to pay to the corruption

those now holding office who do not come
within the puryiew Of the civil service regu-
lstions; nor does the matter give nae any
great deal of concern. 1t Is thing which
Mr.. Cleveland and his advisers will regulate
as they may deem wisestfor the general good
and the good of their party. 1 am con-
WINGED that they are emiDently capable of
deciding in either case for the best"
1t does appear time that the colored race
should understand that the colored people
should appreciate that the Republican
party has used them deceitfully and solely
for sinister purposes. How significant Of
this is the fact that the Republican organs
never indulge in expressions of interest in
them-never discover any wrongs done them
to prate about except during political cam
paignsl No wonder the prominent colored
mes, North and South, have awakened to
the frauds that have been practiced upon
their race by the Republican party and begun
to appeal to those of their race to turn from
thoee who have falsely pretended disinter-
ested friendship for them while really only
psnderipg to their votes for partisan
strength, the benefits of which have never
been shared with the colozed race.
