THE Mates STORY.
To PosT-IHTgLL5eE scER reporter Mate
Cheney gave the following account of his
accident. He said he left Port Townsend
bound for Portland at 8 O'Clock this morn
ing. The steamer was full OF freight and
carried one passenger. The cargo was
composed of $40 barrels Of lime $50 bar
rels OF oil, $40 barrels of salmon. 65 bales OF
hops and DO tons Of coal,
There was dense fog from the time we
left Port Townsend but We we're running at
full speed until the time we heard the
Race Rocks fog-horn. We di9n't hear the
Dangeness whistle until after We had passed
and the Race Rocks horn only once, when
we we're close TO shore. We answered at
once and stopped the engines, but il was
too late. the steamer striking the end Of
Rosedale reef. in about thirteen feet OF
water, anlidShips. aud tearing hole sft
the counter. Il was high tide, and the
ship Was soon hard and fast and the water
pouring in.
sThe greater part OF the cargo being
composed Of lime, there was some iinme-
date danger OF water reaching il. and
setting the ship on FIRE. One Of the first
orders gwen was TO throw the lime over
board, and the men had ali bat $50 barrels
out. when the water reached the lirae. and.
catching fire, drove the men out.
"A hole was az once cut in the deck and
the hose played down on the lime, which
was so smotherad that 10 could not burn.

S24.695 was represented in yesterdays

Not so high. Farmers are beginning to

1t Was Good as Collateral, and q Credulous Doc
tor Is Ready to Use 1t on Himself.

Some strange people reach the Organized
Charity room atPlymouth Church building.
When the wind is high they are likely to be
waited in from almost any point of the
compass. The other day the door was open
and a man and wife came in from Hardin
q Mississippi. with a tale of woe, to
which was attached a maidstone They had
been to West Virginia, on q visit to rela-
tives, and started to 60 TO Texas. where.
as they gave out, the wife's uncle, a very
wealthy ranchman, lives. Here, in some
u~naccountable way, the story forked, that
told by the husband not exactly agreeing
with that of the wife. The latter says that
in Cleveland they were robbed of $40 in
gold. and they had barely enough money
left to get to this city. But they had n
mad-stone-a wonderful mad stone-worth
$500. and one that never failed to cure
hydrophobia. Needing money they had.
on arrival here, placed the stone in
the hands of n doctor on Virginia avenue.
who advanced them S35. As they were
about to leave. the doctor, who heard of
them as they went about the city, became
suspicious that what had been told him
concerning the stone was merely a fairy
tale. and so he attached their baggage.
The stories told by the man prove him to
be of wonderful fertility in invention. He
has a somewhat clerical aspect. and soon
after his arrival began to drop in upon the
pastors. He called upon Rev. Drs. NJ. l..
Haines and James Mcleod, and to both
these gentlemen he was a Presby terrain.
More than that he had been q Union sol
dier and severely wounded during the
war. for which he received a pension. He
told them that he and his wife wanted TO
get to st. Louis. where they had wealthy
relatives. and also spoke of the maidstone
and of their baggage being withheld. When
this man called upon DR.. Cleveland, of Me-
ridian Methodist Church, he, in some way,
went with the idea that the Doctor leaned
toward the late rebel government. Here he
boldly said that he had been a confederate
soldier, and doubtless a cold shiver went
over him when he found. as he soon did,
thatthe Doctor was most uncOmpromising
Unionist.
The Organized Charity Office has added
this romance to the many that it already
has in its records. The doctor who adj
vanced S35 on the alleged maidstone. is al
most in condition to use it upon himself.

Home for the InebrfAtes.

Some time ago DR.. w. b. Fletcher paid a
visit to Spencer. this State, and, on coming
home. expressed the opinion that it would
be an excellent location for a home for the
treatment of inebriates. Lately his atten-
ton has been called to points nearer In
dianapolis, and, within the past two days,
he and Francis Murphy have been looking
at a location east of the Atlas engine
works. DR.. Fletcher thinks that such a
home could be started, and that $500
would be sufficient for a beginning. He is
nave no trouble in getting this amount,
were he to ask for it, right here in Indiana.
Mr.. Murphy has expressed his Willingness
to go out to the people of the State in be-
half of this movement.

Becktold's Books in Greene County.

The Becktold management is having q
hard time introducing its curiosities of
literature, in the shape of school-books. in
to the public schools of Greene county. In
several of the districts the trustees have
absolutely refused to make the change de-
sired, holding that the proposed new books
are so manifestly inferior TO the old ones
that the substitution asked for would be
detrimental to the interests OF the schools,
which makes such change compulsory.
Complaint is also made that in districts
where the new books nave been admitted
the exchange of books promised is a farce.
The agents of Barnes ~ Co. allow but IL
and insist that all books offered in ex-
change shall be so free from damage by
wear and tear as to be practically new
volumes.

The Infundibulum.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
The newspapers have been having con-
siderable fun with the infundibulum. and
on Oct. "a you quote the following from the
Terre Haute News:
DIR. W.. b. Clark. of indianapolis is the author
of the ''infundibulum" theory Of hydrophobia,
v hich Is generally attributed TO DIR. W. Il.
Fletcher. The mistake probably arises from the
similarity OF the initial letters of each gentle
mans name which. from the bellicose attitude Of
the two doctors, evidently signifies Will Bite"
In the interest of accuracy, please allow
us to state that there has never been the
least symptom of bellicosity. on any sub
ject whatever, between the two doctors
above spoken of-lndeed, quite the con-
trary is the case; nor will either of them
bite anybody if properly treated.

Mr.. Murphy to Begin His Meetings on the
South Side Tonight.
Francis Murphy. who has reclaimed half
a thousand men from drink in this'city
within the past nine months. is again to
begin a temperance revival. which will
continue ten days. There is every reason
to believe it will result in greater good to
the community than either of his previous
efforts, which lave been so grandly sue
cessful. The new series of meetings will be
held at the Seventh Presbyterian
Church, IN a part of the city
where Mr.. Murphy has never been.
The meetings will be open to everyone, as
they are conducted solely on q nom
sectarian and non-political plan, the sole
object being to save the man," The first
meeting will be held this evening. This
afternoon. at 3:45 o'clock, the Blue-ribbon
Club Of this city will hold the usual Sun
day service. Mr.. Murphy will meet with
the club and deliver an address.

Important missionary Work.

The Woman's Home Missionary Society
of the NJ. Z. Church is the hannel through
which material supplies, for missionary
work, are distributed among the aMormons
and Indians of the West, poor whites and
freedwomen of the South, and lumber
men of the Northern pineries. By it schools
and homes are erected, where practical
knowledge of domestic economy is offered
as an aid to home-making. Salaries of minis
ters are also supplemented by it. and mis-
slonaries are sent to resident foreigners.
This work has assumed large proportions,
and is directed by a board of managers,
with headquarters at Cincinnati: Early in
November of each year a meeting is held
at some convenient point for the delegates
from twenty-five States and forty confer
ences. On Thursday, at Roberts Park. the
society will begin its annual meeting, which
Is TO continue through eight days. There
will be three daily sessions, open TO all in
terested in this department of labor. and
at them addresses will be given by noted
speakers from all parts of the country.
