thought Il would not be necessary to
organize the proposed body of frontiers.

opinion that General Crook will have

clause in reference to Sarah Althea Hill.

Gently been decided by the United States
Circuit Court at San Francisco adversely
to Miss Hill. Sharon in emphatic Ian
guage declares that she is not his wife
and the "Dear Wife" letters are for
geries, and instructs his heirs to
continue the legal fight against
this claim to the last resort on account
of the dover right on which favcra
yNdict for Miss Hill would have enti-
tled her to in all the property Of Shar-
on. All his property in this city has
been withdrawn from the market, and
as soon as the trustees notify the agents
here that the property belonging TO this
estate, which consists of unimproved
property lying entirely in the heart of
the most fashionable part of the city,
and valued at $3.50, 900, will be placed

fornfa syndicate which in 1871 bouglt
large blocks OF land in the northwest

DETROIT, December 3l.-The police
are in readiness for trouble in the Pol.
ish quarter at any hour. While to-mor.
row is generally believed to be the time
when watchfulness will be most needed
the officers are on duty tonight and
have on hand supply Of stretchers and
other things needed in the event OF
serious disturbance. The militia will be
called out if necessary and companies In
this city are under orders to report at
once on the ringing of the fire bells.
Tomorrow being holiday makes the
danger greater. It is thought the
knowledge that the militia are under or.
ders for action may prevent any out
break. The Bishop is out OF the city,
but Father Kolaskinsy is here and the
feeling in the church is as high as ever.

New YoRK. December 3l.-John O..
Stevens. President of the New Jersey
Railroad and Canal Company, has writ
ten to Abram s. Hewitt discussing the
Nicaraguan Canal project In all Of its
bearings. The work is entirely practi-
cable, he says, and the present duty Of
the government Is to have the route,
either by purchase of territory or by
some other method that will insure pos
session of the route, which cannot be
safely postponed. Regarding the objec-
tions to the Nicaragua route on account
of the locks required in the canal, Ste
vens says: "Long experience in canal
construction and management enables
me to state with confidence that no risks
to navigation on well constructed canal
arises from locks or their operation.
The experience Of the principal canals In
the world, including st. Mary's operated
by the national government, and the
Canada canals fully confirm this view"

NATURAL GAS.
A Company Formed to Bore for the Natural
illumination in Jennings County.

In 1865 while boring for oil, a flow of natural
gas was discovered in Jennings county, and,
coming in contact with a lighted candle, a fame
reaching fifty feet in the air blazed from the
well for several days before 1t could be extin-
guished. It was feared that any further expert
ments might result in great damage TO property
in the vicinity, and the well has since remained
closed 1t is believed. however, that an mex
haustible supply of natural gas can easily be OBJ
tanned at any time, and for the purpose of bor-
ing for it the North Vernon Gas-light and Fuel
Company has been formed, and was incorporated
under the laws of the State yesterday. The
capital stock is &c. 200. all Of which Is subscribed
but it is stipulated in the articles that the COM
pany shall have the right to increase the amount
to $40 600 whenever it may be deemed to the in

LOST THROUGH NEGLIGENCE.
The State University Allows $4,000 Of Its
Appropriation To BE Returned to the State.

The trustees Of the State University at Bloom
ington have Just discovered that the institution
has lost $40 900 appropriated by the Legislature
in 1881, through neglect to draw it at the time
specified in the act The appropriation for 1881
was $50 000 but the trustees only drew 500 000 OF
which $40, 900 was paid to them on April 30, and
$4,000 on Oct. 80 They were entitled to $lO,-
600 in September Of the same year. They sup
posed, however, that the money would remain to
their credit, il not drawn. and nothing was said
aboutit until few days ago, when balance of
sl0 coo was claimed. upon making request for
an advance of that sum. The law provides
shat when an appropriation is not drawn
the balance shall be turned into the
with the State Universitys money. Judge
Banta, of the board of trustees called at the
Auditors Office yesterday for an explanation Of
the matter and was shown, by the terms Of the
appropriation, that the university had lost its
money simply by not drawing it at the proper
time John W. Coons was Deputy Auditor at
that time, and was about to write to the
trustees directing their attention to the fact
that the money was due them, but refrained
from doing 30 upon the advice of the Auditor,
who thought that the trustees ought to know
when to draw their appropriations. Judge
Banta states that the loss Of the money will Tot
embarrass the institution financially. In addi-
ton to the annual appropriation of $23, 900. the
upon which it is drawing 5 per cent interest. and
and this fnnd is growing at the rate of $35, 900
