The Blair education bill, appro-
priating seventy-seven millions OF
dollars to the public schools of the
different states aud territories and an
additional two millions To aid ia the
erection of school buildings through

Senate last week by vote of 36 to
H. We wish the amendment offer
ed by Gen. Logan providing for bull
ding school houses had been several
times larger in amount and more lib
eral in is provisions, but we suppose
the best way is to be satisfied and
thankful that so much has been done
for civilization. The House it is
thought will also pass the bill 10 its

About how much Sabbath Dissertation is
right in connection with camp-meetings 1t
is evident from the Advocates appeal that a
camp-meeting cannot be conducted without
certain amount of Sabbath desecration, and
whatever that may be, is right and proper,
and for the glory Of God. That much-de-

benefit Of the brethren who will be charged
this year with the Christian duty of desecrat-
ing the Sabbath for the Lords sake.

for more than hundred ballots, and then,
growing tired of that he made another decis-

STATE POLITICS.

Another Democratic ROw-JOhnson County
Delegates from the Senatorial Convention.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
MARTINsvILLE. June l5-The Democrats of
this senatorial district. composed of Brown,
johnson and Morgan counties; met at Morgan
town, this county, to-day, for the purpose of
nominating a candidate for joint Senator. The
convention was of the most disgraceful af
fairs that ever took place in this district.
There were but two candidates.. F. Cox,
from this county and j. J. Moore, from Trafal-
gar, johnson county. On the first ballot the
vote stood: Cox, thirty-two, including two
delegates from johnson county who claimed
the right to vote for him, though
johnson had instructed for Moore; Moore
received thirty votes, provided Johnson
county voted as a unit. The Chair ruled that
johnson should vote according to her instruc-
tlons amid Kisses and yells of .'No!' and this
made the vote tie-30 for Moore and 30 for
Cox. One hundred and one ballots were taken
with the same result, and much of the time the
greatest confusion ragged, and the convention
was nothing bat bowling mob When the
one hundred and first ballot had been an
nounced. the chairman stated that he would
change his decision and allow johnson county's
delegates to vote their sentiments on the next
ballot. This announcement was too much for
the johnson county delegates, and they an
nounced that before they would have the will
of $500 Democrats thwarted they would leave
the convention. The Chair would not be in
fuenced, and Johnson county, with the excep
tion of the two delegates who were in favor of
Cox, retired from the convention. The roll of
townships was then called, ard j. F. Cox. of
Martinsville, received 80 votes, and J. J. Moore
z. Mr. Cox was declared the nominee of the
convention. The chairman of the johnson
county delegation informed reporter that they
would nominate Mr. Moore, but action was
taken this evening. 1t was Bynum convention,
and frst-class one. too

TIE NEW ORLEANS TELEPHONE DEcIsIol

TIE NEW ORLEANS TELEPHONE DECISION.
We print elsewhere the full text Of the de-
cision of the United States Circuit Court, in
New Orleans, in the suit of the American Bell
Telephone Company against the National I'm
proved Telephone Company, which is first
cousin to the Pan Electric. It is especially
important. from the fact that all the evidence
submitted to theInterior Department, upon
the basis of which the governments suit was
ordered, formed part of the record in the
case. Briefly stated, the court decides
l. That the fact that the government has
begun suit is not and cannot be bar to the
granting of injunctions.
2. That Bells invention clearly antedates
Grays claims, Bell having drawn up, signed
and sworn to his application at least twenty
days before Gray, according to his own testi-
mony, conceived the idea embodied in his
caveat.
3. That Belts apparatus, as described and
illustrated in his original application, will
transmit articulate speech in the manner de-
scribed by Bell
4. That in all the evidence (Which includes
what was submitted to the Secretary of the
Interior) there is nothing that shows that
Bell has done or caused to be done anything
inconsistent with his right to be called an
honest man with clean hands,"
5. That Refs never produced a speaking
telephone and that the transmission of speech
by his method is physical impossihility.
6. That although Reis's instruments were
largely manufactured and on sale in the chief
capitals of Europe, and had been described in
scientific and other publications, there was
not, prior to Bells invention in 1876, any
speaking telephone in use, nor any pretense of
any.
Z. That the instruments used by the Ma
tional Improved Telephone Company directly
infringe the patent granted Alexander Gra-
ham Bell in 1876.
1t is also noted that although the evidence
in support of the claims of Meucci covered
over one hundred and twenty pages of the
printed record, it was abandoned by the coun-
sci for the infringing company as being of no
value and no help to their case.

Thompson and His Family.

KANSAS Cry, June 15.-On receipt Of the re.
port from New York city that a Kansas City
man named Thompson had shot himself and
bride in hotel in that city, diligent inquiry was
made here for any knowledge of such persons.
The search was without avail until late tonight.
when information came that a letter had been
found in the room occupied by the young couple.
addressed to Dr. Q. L.. Thompson of West Four.
teenth street, Kansas City. Then became evident
the painful fact. the wounded map is the son OF
Rev. DR.. Thompson. pastor OF the Second Pres
byterian Church, and one of the foremost di.
vines in this city. DIR. Thompson was called to
this pastorate from Pittsburg Pa, about four
years ago. His elder son, Winfield B., the
young man who presumably took another's life
and his own SO tragically, this afternoon stud
led medicine at the Kansas City Medical Col.
lege, and was graduated two years ago. He
then entered the College of Medicine and Sur.
gerry in New York city, since which time he has
not returned here. He had obtained position
for the present summer as surgeon board q
steamer Of the Stonington line plying between
New York and Boston. His father left here this
morning for New York city, expecting to sail 10
a few days for Europe, where he intended to
spend several months of vacation The theory that
naturally suggests itself is that the young man
had been, clandestinely married. and, for SONG
reason fearing to face the consequences had de-
termined to seek an escape rather than meet
his father. Young Thompson had for some
time been engaged to be married to young lady
who moves in the best society circles of this city,
and the sad tragedy will doubtless cause SEN
sation when 1t becomes known here to morrow.
Mr.. Thomson is widely known as an earnest elo-
quent and practical preacher. He occupied the
pulpit of Rev. De Witt Talmage, in Brooklyn,
during the latter's absence in Europe, last sum-

dent for the ministry, and two young daughters.
Theson Winfield bore good reputation during
his residence here Mrs. Thompson died few
years ago. The father, it is learned, went to
Waukesha. Wis, this morning. expecting to
stop day or two en- route to New York.
