want and his wife led most unhappy
married life. They were constantly
quarreliug and fighting. At last one
day they resolved to separate, but as
they had a child, they began to dis

one. This dispute ended with blows,
and, whilst the husband aud wife
were pummeling each other, the baby
began to cry. This so enraged the
woman that, Selling the child, she
threw it through an open window into
the river that flowed by the side OF the
house. The little one was found next
morning floating on the river. Both

THE LAST PENNY LECTURE.
Prof John B. DeMotte's Instructive Talk Last
Evening on the Subject of Electricity"

Prof John B. DeMotte. of DePauw Univer-
sity, the last lecturer in the penny course adj
dressed, at Enslsh's Opera house, last night. a
large audience of school children on Electric
ity, the Wizard of the Nineteenth Century" His
talk was illustrated by apparatus, with which
many experiments with electricity were shown,
and by projections thrown upon a
large screen by means of an electric
lantern said to be the only one ever used here
Professor DeMotte traced the various discoveries
of the powers Of electricity aud of the inventions
of electrical apparatus The scats back" was
the primitive battery. The difference between
high tension electricity, lightning" and vol
taic electricity was explained. From Faraday's
discovery that the magnetic needle always stood
at right angles TO current of cleo
tricity near it, Professor DeMotte said the
production Of an electric current by magnet in
motion, came. Views of the different dynamo
machines from the beginning to the ones now in
use were given. The crude mode of sending
and receiving the first telegraphic messages was
illustrated. Pictures of Edison, Faraday, and
other noted electricians, living and dead, were
given. The difference between the Brush and
Edison lights was shown. Professor DeMotte
gave it as his opinion that in 8 comparatively
short time the people generally would have cleo

than that OF any other kind of light RI 3

The UNION DEPOT PROJECT.
What President McCrae Has to Say About the
Proposed Improvement and Its Location.

James McCrae, general manager Of the Penn
sylvania lines west of Pittsburg and president
of the Union Railway Company Is in the city.
Last evening, in conversation regarding the new
Union Depot enterprise, he said: II came here
five years ago on my first visit as an officer of
the Pennsylvania lines. l carefully looked the
field over and at the first meeting of the officers
Of the Union Railway Company, took strong
grounds that there must be a more
commodious and handsome Union Depot
built here, and Presidents Mccullough,
ingalls, and McKeen practically turned the mat
ter over to myself and E. b. Thomas, then gen.
eral manager Of the Decline, to set the wheels
in motion, and the first step taken was to lease
the Belt road and relieve the union tracks of the
through freight traffic. This was carried out.
The next step was to reorganize the Union Rail-
way Company, We found that to enable us to
raise money on our bonds to make improvements
with, legislation was necessary. This was car
ried through. We then drew up our bonds and
negotiated them, and now have the money to
build new Union Depot with. AS the business
centers around the present location, We prefer to
build near it, and have made our plans to
do. If the city does not want it built there, we
will build it somewhere else. We don't propose
to beg or buy the privilege of building near the
present site. We propose to erect one Of the
handsomesr and largest union depots in this
country. the Grand Central, New York, ex-
copied"
For years, Mr. McCrea says every time he
came to Indianapolis, the newspapers were prod
ing him and other railroad officials to move
in this matter. Business men would
meet him and ask when something
was to be DONE Now the company was ready
for business, and opposition which he thought
wholly of selfish character had sprung up
which might defeat the enterprise, or at least
force the Union Railway Company to change
their location. All the Union Railway Company
had done was open-handed and above board;
now it was for the city authorities
and people to say whether they wanted
this improvement, which. with V. T. Malott, he
and other railroad officials had been for years
getting into position where they could proceed
with the work. Thew asked no money from the
city. The Pennsylvania Company had expended
$500, 900 at Indianapolis the last three years, in
new depots and shops. and he did not know of
any other industry which in thae time had done
so much for Indianapolis.
