gular and fatal accident occurred at
Cherryvale. A young man driving one
of Coltfelter's livery teams very rapidly
up the street, met two young men
riding very rapidly, on a corner. and
the approach of each party was OBJ
structed by house. As the driver saw
the horsemen, he refined his horse so
suddenly that the buggy tongue was
raised up so that it struck into the side
OF one of the horsemen-a young Mr..
Taylor of Mound Valley. and broke off.
The young man lived but few hours.

WILL DEFY THE GAS LAW.
Syndicate That Intends Supplying Chicago
with Natural Gas from Northern Indiana.

CHICAGO, July S0.-Messrs. Elkins and
Widner. of Philadelphia, who arrived In
this city yesterday afternoon, told for the
first time of a syndicate having been formed
some time ago which has secured the gas
rights in Indiana of between $4,000 and
10000 acres. and will pipe the natural gas
to Chicago. When asked about the Indiana
law which prohibits any gas being run out
of the State, Mr. Elkins said: ''Oh, we're
going to have that declared unconstitu-
tionaL The lower courts have already de-
cided In our favor. There is no question
but what the Supreme Court will, too. The
idea of telling man he dare not sell the
product of his land to whom he chooses.
Why, you might as well pass laws to pro-
hlblt shipping coal or wheat out OF the
State. Such a law as that can never stand"
Mr.: Elkins said further: This syndicate
numbers thirteen members: They are all
Chicago men except Mr.. Hequenberg, q
Pennsylvania oil man. Mr.. Widener and
myself; We have just signed the contract
for building the pipeline and pumps. Mr..
Heguenberg is to build the line, and he
contracts to have gas flowing into the Chi
cago mains by Nov. !. He is the man who
built the pipeline into Buffalo and the
first man who conceived the idea of pump
ing the natural gas through long pipe
lines. Our line will be 13S miles long. We
shall put in at the start two eight-inch
pipes, These will deliver 100000 feet a
day. The right of way for the line is near
ly all obtained, and every contract is
let for the completion of the work."

Postmaster Paul Sends i'm His Resignation to
Save the Disgrace of Removal
Special indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, July So.-0ne Of the first
results of the determination on the part of
the Civil-service Commissioners to enforce
the provisions of the civfl-service law was
seen to-day. Some time ago the
board reported that the postmaster
at milwaukee, had persistently viola
ted the law and had declined
TO appoint man certified by the local
board, but had selected bis own friends or
those whom he preferred. in every case. Post
master Paul denied these charges. and a
second Investigation was made. when the
report was even moro emphatic than the
first. His removal was recommended. In
stead of gracefully resigning, as he should
have done at the time, Paul secured a num-
ber of affidavits from men in his office to
show what civil-service reformer he was
at heart. These were sent on to Washing
ton. and he insisted that be would not re-
sign. but he seems to have changed his
mind. The department was determined to
remove him. and was only awaiting the rec
omInendation of the local member of Con-
gress before naming his successor. Mr..
PauFs resignation was received IN late
mail this afternoon. so that he has saved
himself from the disgrace of removal for
cause. His resignation will be promptly
accepted.

A RAILROAD MULCTED IN $4,000.
An Elevator Company Successful in Damage
Suit Growing Out of Wheat Corner"

CHICAGO. July 3o.-Judge Gresham this
morning filed his opinion in the case of
Alfred NJ. Hoyt ct al VS.. the Chicago.
Milwaukee g. st. Paul Railway Company.
Judgment for $4,000 was entered against
the defendant The case has been in llti-
CATION for some time. and it was brought
into prominence by the failure of the at
tempt to corner the market on wheat in
1886 and 1887. In substance the nature of
the case is as follows: Feb. Is, 1880. the de-
fendant leased to Alfred NJ. Hoyt ct al, for
term of ten years from Jan. /. 1881. lots 1.
2 and 3 of block X, in the original town of
Chicago. In consideration of this lease the
plaintiffs agreed to erect an elevator of the
capacity of 1,0O0,0 600 bushels, pay all taxes
and assessments. and besides tender the
storage capacity of another smaller elevator
near by, whose capacity was $50 900 BUSH
els, to the defendant. There was an IRON
paa paTties thss she s FsHf road
should annually bring to Chicago
and store with Hoyt ct al, 5.oCo. 900 bushels
of wheat. If the amount sent TO the ele-
vator in a year did not aggregate 100000
the ST. Paul road was to pay Hoyt ct al.
cent per bushel for the deficiency. The re-
quired 100000 bushels seems to have been

was only 2.S26,S2l bushels. In 1887 the
amount again fell short, as only ,957. .592
bushels were stored there. The railroad
company was bringing in wheat by the
train-load during this time, but the ele-
vatOr had capacity of only !, ,000. 900 BUSH
els. ana as the consignees, to whom the
wheat stored there was shipped, were
playing" the market they did not want to
take their wheat out of storage. The
100000 bushels remained in the elevator
bins, and the railroad was forced to take
their wheat elsew here In spite of this fact,
Hoyt ct al. brought suit for the commission
of / cent per bushel on the yearly deficien-
cy. They say that the company knew that
the elevators capacity was 100000 BUSH
els. and that. in order to live up to the
terms of the contract. the consignecs must
keep the wheat moving. Hoyt ct al. were
willing to receive the wheat as per the
terms of the contract, but were prevented
by the stagnatiOn III trade, owing to mar
ket tiuctuation.

KANSAS CITY, July 30.-For some time

JAMES R. GARFIELD FOR CONGRESS.
The Son and Namesake of the Martyr Presi-
dent May Go Into Politics.

CLEVELAND. July 30-JIm Garfield, as
the late President used to call hit favorite
son, James r. Garfield, is in training for
politics, and his alliance with Miss Helen
Newell. of Chicago daughter of President
John Newell, of the Lake Shore road. will
not handicap him on any side. James is
the brainiest of the boys General Garfield
left behind him, and resembles the early
pictures OF his father very strikingly. with
the exception that he wears glasses, while
his father did not. He is fine scholar. a
falr orator and is developing into good
lawyer.
Eighteen or twenty years ago President
Garfield. then Representative OF the old
Nineteenth Ohio district in Congress. re-
sided in Hiram, and on the adjournment of
Congress used to return there with his
family. Jim and Hal. the two young law
yers, were then small boys. Jim was
about as mischievOus as boys ever are
of what his father had been at the same
age. Hal, or Harry, as he has since been
called, was of a decidedly sedate nature
and easily believed almost anything which
his younger brother would tell him. Young
James K. Garfield has never lost his resi-
dence IN the old Nineteenth district. He
lives with his mother at the homestead in
Mentor. and goes back and forth every day
on the train. He is beginning to take some
interest in politics down there, and there is
some talk that he will be sent to Congress
if he continues TO reside there.
Hon. Ezra b. Taylor, who now represents
the district. is quite well along in years. He
succeeded General Garfield in 1881 and was
elected last fail for the fifth time The
Ninteenth district takes pride in returning
the same man over and over. and in this
way has always been prominent in the
councils of the. Nation. 1t has only had
five representatives since its organization
as a district.
1t is quite probable that the future career
of young James Garfield may lie in the
same line as that of his father. The alli-
one socially, politically and in business
way.
