INDIASAPOLIs, lND.. January 10
Near New Decker, "a village in Southern
Indiana. a small lake is burning and
is emitting @ peculiar sulphuric odor
The community is excited, and those
living near the lake are preparing "a
leave the place. The lake is about half a
mile in circumference The ire covers
the eastern surface. No smoke Is per.
ccptible Several theories are suggested
the most plausible of which Is that a
vein OF OH near the surface has burst
under the pond, and that the oil rose 10
the surface, where it was set on fire by
spark from burning log heap and
that as the oil continues 90 rise it keeps
burning upon the surface.

COMMITTEES on Streets Adopt the Times
Suggestion and Rescind Their Action.

On the Goth Of December, at the regu-
lar meeting Of the Committee Oh Streets a
resolution providing that none but per-
sons in sympathy with the Democratic
nartv should be employed in the depart
ment under the management Of that
committee, was introduced by Mr. Pres
ton Belvin and adopted by the commit
+ tee.
The Representatives Of the press were
excluded from the meeting and were not
allowed 10 see the records The report
eis. however, got all the particulars that
evening. but by special request OF the
committee, did not publish them until "a
resolution concerning the operations Of
the same was introduced in the Common
F Council by James IL. Hayes, colored
member Of that body from Jackson
ward.
Yesterday. by order Of Mr. Belvin, the
+ TIMES was furnished with the following
exact copy of the resolution;
Whereas There are many Republi-
cans being employed in the street depari
ment of the city government not in sysi-
pathv and harmony with the present
/ Democratic administration be It
Res1lred. That the City Engines bc

ACTION OF THE GRANITE CUTTERS.
Alta meeting of the Richmond Branch
of the Granite Cutters National Union
of America. held Saturday evening, the
/ following preamble and resolution were
adopted:
F To Me H9a. CommiHce on GroHHds and
BidiHgs Qf tie Cuy of Ricbmond,
Whereas. 10 having come 10 our knOWl-
edge that members of our union have
/ been discharged from the works on the
new City Hall for reasons we deem un-
/ iustifable, namely, for voting in late
elections for political parties not IN mar
monv with the Democratic administra-
| ton of the city Of Richmond
we think in our humble judg-
ment that such action has O
/ tendency 10 separate that ne
of good fraternal citizenship which may
otherwise exist among the intelligent
mechanics and wOrkingmen of this city
and State. We also think il a direct yio-
lation of the true spirit Of a true De
mocracv and we furthermore hope that
the intelligent and better class of citizens
of the Democratic party will repudiatc
such action and remove this ban OF
ostracism from the intelligent working
men OF this city; be it, therefore,
Resolued, That we do hereby, in meet
ing assembled, unanimously disapprOye
such action on the part Of your honora-
ble committee, and hope that il will be
tine wisdom of your honorable body to re-
scind such action without delay.
This resolution was read at the meet
ing OF the Committee on CHounds and

A GREAT TRIP AT A LOW RATE VIA
PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD,

No uniformed body of men pre-
sents such gorgeous spectacle as does
the Knights Templar. 1t is only once in
three years that they assemble in a
body in one of the principal cities of
America, and as they have selected
Washington to be the theatre of their
triennial oonclave this year, the double
opportunity to witness the brilliant
gathering and to visit the beautiful
Capital City on the Potomac will be
offered from every station on the var.
ious lines of the Pennsylvania Rail
road at one fare for the round trip.
The conclave will continue from Oct
ober Sth to llth, 1889, and tickets
will be sold October 9Th, 9th, 7th, and
Sth, valid for return trip until October
3lst, 1889. Returning a stop-off
within the limit will be allowed at
Baltimore, Wilmington, Philadelphia,
Trenton, Harrisburg, Williamsport,
Elmira, Emporium and Cory, as the
route of the excursionists may sug-
gest. The occasion will be one of the
most enjoyable seasons of the year to
visit Washington. Specific rates will
be furnished by agents on applica-
ton.

Fattened Like Cattle.
now SLAVES ARE PREPARED IN AFRICA
TO EAT.


Fattening slaves in a park and feed.
ing rbem up like animals destined for
the table, and then leading them to a
shambles where they are slaughtered
like oxen, cut into pieces and shared
by bits to hungry cannibals-such is
the practice which is permitted, ac.
cording to Mr. Fondese, a French ex-
plorer, in some of the French, Belgian
and Portuguese and even British terr
tories in Ubanghi. M. Fondese was
sent out three years ago by the French
Government to discover the sources OF
the Niarguillon, and, having returned
after the successful accomplishment of
his task, he hastens to tell his country
men all about the terrible things he
has seen in his travels.
"The "fattening parks" or paddocks
are, he Gays, to be seen in each village
and contain men and women who
have been taken in war. The poor
wretches take their doom philosophi.
cally, aud some of them to whom Mr..
Fondese offered freedom actually re.
fused it. They eat, drink, dance and
sing until the head "fetishman" comes
