TIE MUHLEMAN MURDER.
Lawhorn Alias Ravens, the Convict, Indicted
for the Murder Inst cad of Kerr.

Al Kerr, charged with the murder of young
Muhleman on street car near the Stockyards,
eighteen months ago, was arraigned yesterday
for preliminary examination by the Mayor. The
evidence against him is statement of Lawhorn
alias Ravens, an inmate of the northern prison,
that Kerr made a confession to him while in
Jail. to the effect that he shot Muhleman acct
dentally while robbing the car, and then
thought 1t best to shoot the driver to
cover up the crime Hawthorn was
brought down from Michigan City, night before
last, to testify in the case He was taken to the
Mayors courtroom yesterday morning. While
waiting for the trial, Thomas Pavey. the driver,
came into the room. Lawhorn at once acted sus-
piciously. He evidently recognized the driver,
and turned his face in another direction, and
asked the prosecutor to 60 out, as he wanted to
tell him something. Pavev, the driver,
however, recognized Lawhorn himself
as the man who committed the
murder, instead Of AL Kerr Hawthorn, who is
serving fourteen years sentence for attempted
ROBBERY and murder of street-car driver, on
McCarty street, declined to testify until assured
that the court could do something to mitigate
his sentence. Kerr's friends are confident that
no will be able to prove an alibi, and in view Of
yesterdays developments decidedly new turn
IS expected in the case. The case was continued
by the Mayor until this afternoon.

Alex Heron, secretary of the State Board of

board show the season to be at least two weeks

northern part of the State have done some
damage in the last few days to corn and sweet
potatoes, but wheat is not yet far enough ad-
vanced to be injured by frost.

The favorable comment with which the
proposition to provide for extraordinary
expense by the levy of a lax on incomes,
shows that such a method of raising rev.
enue would be a very popular one, at first,
whatever it might prove after a fair trial.
As only the excess of income over a fixed
amount would be taxable, the measure
would enlist a large proportion Of those
who need pay no tax under its provisions.
1t is evident that the scheme will be
brought forward in earnest before many
years, and may be forced on congress by
popular outcry. The power to impose
such a tax has been established by its
successful levy, but the objections to re-
course to it are numerous and strong. The
difficulty of collection is as nothing as COM
pared with the difficulty of enforcing a
proper assessment. The very attempt
sets a premium on fraud-and fraud
which could easily escape detection OF
evade punishment Besides it would in
terfcrc in an unwarrantable way-scarcely
less odious than domiciliary visitation
with the private business Of every
citizen and involve the exercise of in.
quisitorial powers, repugnant to our in
stitutions as viewed from a Democratic
standpoint. Nor would the end proposed

What promises to be a useful light for
Industrial purposes, where work has to
be carried on in the open or in large
covered spaces by night, is described by
the English Steam Users Journal. The
light consists of n cylindrical vessel ca
pable of containing thirty gallons of
heavy hydro-carbon oil. Air under a
moderate pressure is conducted to the
cylinder, which is fitted with a special
burner having two tubes, one within the
other, leading up to it. The inner tube
dips into the ~creosote, and the pressure
of air on the latter forces it up the tube.
A portion of the air finds its way to the
burner through the annular space be-
tween the inner and outer tubes, and the
air and oil combining at the burner form,
when ignited by a match, a flame which
gives a light that is useful for general
working purposes over a radius of 100 to
200 yards. The proportions used to form
the proper light are four of air to n of oil
by volume. The jet being produced
under pressure is not affected by either
wind or rain.-Chicago News.

Some time ago Sunset Cox forwarded
to Senator Brown from Egypt q package
Of cotton seed that had been found en-
tombed with a mummy. The mummy
belonged to the race of the Pharaohs,
and had been pronounced dead 1000
years before Mr.. Cox discovered the re-
mains. Three Of the seed were sent by
Senator Brown to DIR. Connally, of this
city, and were duly submitted to the test
of sun and soil. They were planted in
tubs, filed with highly fertilized dirt,
and were carefully watched and watered
for a period of thirty days. In spite of
this the seed failed to sprout, and they
were finally dug up and examined. They
were filed with dust, and it is supposed
that the germ of life that once had ex-
listed in their frail shells had passed away

Biologists are becoming aware of the
existence OF a low order of intelligence in
plants. Prof. Morren, in a late publica-
tion of the Royal Belgian academy, argues
that the law of sensation producing
motion is common to both animal and
vegetable kingdoms, that plants are sem
sible to the influences Of environment, and
not only move but are able to coordinate
their movements. All the phenomena OF
motion are ultimately traced to pro-
toplasm, a living substance common alike
to plants and animals, and whose general
int essential characteristics are precisely
the power Of sensation and movement.
II has the faculty of receiving impress
sions and Of moving Respectively. 1t stirs,
therefore 1t lives, and the same is true of
every organism from man to the microbe
and the plant. Life may be defined as
the activity OF protoplasm, although this
