his life Was despaired of and he was victim of
rapid consumption. One day during a violent
fit OF coughing the Doctor brought up piece of
his oyercout, which had been shot into mis- lungs
ten years before. The election of this cause of
irritation so relieved him that he at or.e became
better and finally completely recovered,

The Myers Perjury Case.

COLUMBUS o.. Aug 27-The case of Allen o.
Myers. charged with perjury by w. S. Cappeller,
hearing on Monday. The alleged perjury con-
sists in affidavit made by Myers before an
other justice. in which Cappeller is charged
with bribing a delegate to the Republican
State convention to vote for him for member of
the Republican State central committee. Myers
claims that there was a blunder and that he did
not intend TO have Cappeller arrested as he had
no information duplicating him in that connec-
tion The perjury case was postponed
until after the hearing of the bribery
case against Cappeler, which is also set for next
Monday. Myers will not appear to prosecute
the case, and the justice is of opinion that it
will be dismissed, which, in all probability will
also dispose of the perjury case, though there is
tendency in some quarters to call witnesses in
the latter case and hold Myers responsible for
his utterances in the affidavit against Cappeller.

YPsrLANTr. Mich, Aug. ga murder was
committed at Willis Station, about ten miles
south of this city, yesterday. A farmer by the
name of Wells cut his wife's throat from ear to
ear. For some time trouble had existed over
the farm property, his mother-inlaw holding a
mortgage which she was about TO foreclose. Be-
tween and o'clock ia the afternoon Wells and
his wife got into dispute about the matter and
as near as can be learned, his angry passions got
the better of him. Their two little children were
at school On returning they found the dead
body of their mother in the yard, just outside
the door. They alarmed the neighbors and
search was made for the murderer. He was
found in the corn crib, and gave himself up with
out resistance. He played the insanity dodge,
saying he was looking for land.

no matter what the labor or cost. High license
is representation. It will prevent unlawful
traffic. Neal Dow has fought the liquor interest
here for thirty years more, and there Is as
much liquor sold mere to-day as in any city in

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
The Democratic idea of equal rights is based
upon the principle that free exchange of the
production of the labors of all nations should be
maiutained-or by the way, American industry
should not be protected. Hence. it 10 plain that
those men. though claiming to be genuine Amer
lean citizens, have no moro patriotic desire for
the prosperity of America than they have for
Europe Asia or Africa. De facto, they would,
by non-protection. or free trade, compel Ameri
can industry to come down upon a level with
European, remunerate American day-labor with
the pauper wages OF the old world. and bring
down the price of American fabrics upon the
level of those of European. ASA. M. BELLOWS.

There seems but little doubt that Professor
Gray is attempting 20 sever his connection with
the Bell interest and cast his fortunes with the
Pan-electric people. The plan is a clear piece OF
financial management Gray is to go with the
Pan-electric people, and his invention, when used
by this company, will, cf course, increase the
value of the electric stock. Attorney general
Garland. Senator Harris, Indian Commissioners
Atkins, Assistant Indian Commissioner Upshaw
and Casey Young, all holders of the stock, are at
work negotiating with Gray for this purchase.
1t appears that they will be successful One sig
nifcant feature of this is that within the past
day or two it has been ascertained from the
archives of the Patent Office that Casey Young
is the secret attorney for Professor Gray, and
has been engaged in looking after and caring for
Gray's interest for the past half year while in
this city. If Mr. Gray is captured by the Pan
electric syndicate. andshis patent takes priority
over that of the Bell, there will be nothing to
prevent Pan-electric stocks from becoming very
valuable, and Mr. Garlands holdings alone will
probably be worth $500 000
