MURDEROUS PLOT EXPOSED.
Alleged Scheme to Blow Up the Michigan State
Penitentlary with Hercules Powder.

JACKSON, Mich, Aug. GA sensational
scheme has been unearthed at the State
prison. The matricide, Irving Latimer,
whose crime and trial attracted such wide
spread attention. has been detected in a
plot to blow up the prison. and a quantity
of explosives have been found within the
prison wall. Latimer was locked in the
solitary dungeon at once on the discovery
of the plot. For six weeks past the warden
has expected that Latimer was at the head
of a daring scheme to blow up the prison,
and he has been watched closely. Last
Friday a Jumper" or cEoreman, was de-
tected in getting a package near the north
wall which had been thrown over by out
siders during the night. A watchman got
the package. having traced it 10 Latimer.
1T contained a quantity OF Hercules powder,
one of the most powerful explosives War

but from other reliable sources IL is learned
that old prisoners have made use of Lati-
mer's money and secured outside influence

tirely successful. have destroyed the prison
and let 500 convicts loose. This scheme has
been contemplated for the past year, and
did not originate with Latimer.

cludes 1t Is Best for the Present

AsBURY PARK, Aug. 26.-James A. Brad
ley, founder of Asbury PARK, publishes a
letter in local paper, in which occur some
statements that have caused sensation in
this stronghold Of temperance. Mr.. Brad.
ley says:
License to sell intoxicating liquors to
be used as a beverage is relic of barbar-
ism and excites my contempt, which
contempt would be felt if had almighty
power; but as l am only a single individual
making up a State of over a million popu-
latiOn, the majority of whom will not con-
cede anything higher than high license
at tire present time, accept the best for
the present. AS matters are now
in the Park the fight is too big for your
humble servant. Good men come to me
and whisper that they think liquor is sold
in certain places, and suggest that if any
action is taken their names must not be
mentioned; but beyO Ond this very little help
is afforded, and am ashamed to say be-
lieve if some fellow in Asbury Park had a
$500 or a 81 900 license to sell rum he would
give me more information and the kind of
evidence that would convict the druggists
than we now get from the easy-going tenn
perance people of Asbury Park"

Belief that Mr.. Douglass Does Not Relish the
Idea of Living in the Black Republic
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WAsHINGToN, Aug. 26.-Notwithstanding
the fact that Assistant Secretary Wharton

to the effect that Minister Fred Douglass is
not to be sent to Hayti. after all. Mr..
Douglass himself, in an interview pub
lished here. does not talk In the most
sanguine tone about his future residence
in the island. In fact. there seems to be an
undercurrent of antipathy toward resi-
dence in Hayti in the orators talk. He is
evidently not profoundly impressed with
the idea of giving up his comfortable homo
in Washington, where he has everything
that he could ask for, for a residence in the
unhealthy, revolution-ridden republic.
There is, perhaps, no doubt that Mr..
Douglass can 60 to Hayti if he desires to
do so, but the position. at present, will
involve extremely obnoxious duties for
the representative of the United States.
In fact, although he will. without
doubt. be the youngest member
of the diplomatic corps in Port-au-
Prince, in point of years of service.
he will be called upon to do more hard work
than any of his colleagues. owing to the de-
STABILITY of the extension of American Infiu-
ences and American ideas over the Haytian
republic. If Mr.. Douglass decides TO remain
IL America rather than to proceed to Port
au-Prince, he will be following simply the
dictates of his own inclination. A man. To
represent the United States in Hayti, at
the present time. must be physically and

A Cnu,e of Boiler ExplosIons.
Action of OIL. upon Metals.

Among the results of series OF experiments
with view to determine the action of oils on
metals, the following are reported:
Iron is least affected by seal oil and most by
tallow oil. Brass is not affected by rape oil,
least by seal oil, and most by olive oil. Tin is
not affected by rape oil, least by olive oil, and
most by cottonseed OIL Lead is least affected
by olive oil, and most by whale oil, whale, lard
and sperm oils acting very nearly the same.
Zinc is not affected by mineral lubricating oils,
least by lard oil and most by sperm oil. Copper
is not affected by mineral lubricating oil, least
by sperm oil, and most by tallow oil. Con-
versely: Mineral lubricating oil has no
action on zinc and copper, acts
least on brass and most on lead.
Olive oil acts least on tin and most on copper.
Rape oil has no action on brass and tin. acts
least on iron and most on copper. Tallow oil
acts least on tin and most on copper. Lard oil
acts least on zinc and most on copper. Cotton
seed oil acts least on lead and most on
tin. Sperm oil acts least on brass and most on
zinc Whale oil has no action on tin, acts least
on brass and most on lead Seal oil acts least
on brass and most on copper. For lubricating
the journals of heavy machinery either rape or
sperm oil should be used in admixture with
mineral oils, as they have the least effect on
brass and iron. which two metals usually con-
stitute the bearing surfaces of an engine. Tai
low oil should be used as little as possible.
