Mr.. eoRBY's APPOINTMENTS.
They Meet the Approval of Citizens In
Mining Districts.

State Geologist Gorby Friday aps
pointed Thomas McQuaid of Clay county
state mine inspector, and Prof. E. 7. j.
Jordan of Shelby county, supervisor Of
natural gas. These appointments were
not unexpected, and will, therefore, oc-
casion no surprise.
Both Of these gentlemen were ap-
pointed to the offices they now I'LL by Mr..
Gorbv two years ago. The first named
served as mine inspector during Governor
Gray's term. The general assembly OF
1889, however, took the appointing power
from the chief executive and placed it in
the hands of the state geologist. The
latter named Mr.. McQuaid as his own
successor, while Governor Hovey ap-
pointed John Tislow, cheap poll
tician OF Pike county, who had no ex-
perlence whatever as miner. The
Indiana Napoleon appointed nslow over
the vigorous protests OF hundreds of
miners simply because the latter had q
political pull in Pike county. In making
the appointment he gave expression to
that antique chestnut about being de-
prived of his rights as an executive officer.
The matter fina ly found its way into the
courts, but before decision was reached
Mr.. McQuaid withdrew from the field,
and Tislow has been making a bluff at
inspecting mines ever since.
State Geologist Gorby is to be congratu-
lated upon his appointments. McQuaid
has spent large portion of his life in the
mining districts of Indiana, and is
thoroughly competent. His appoint
ment will be well received by
the miners of the state who have
been practically without protection from
the dangers to which they are subjected
for the past two years. His salary is fixed
at s., 500 per annum and be is allowed an
assistant at 81, 900. The latter has not yet
been appointed.
There is no question but that Prof. Jor-
dan as supervisor of natural gas will give
general satisfaction. He will work under
the direction of the state geologist. The
salary for this office was originally fixed
at 81 800, but the last general assembly
reduced it toSl 200. Both appointees will
assume the duties of their respective of
fees ct once.

THE RocH sTER TRAGEDY.

dered-Details of the Aha r.

Michael Overm-yer Was Probably Muir
dered-Details of the Ana r.
ROCHESTER, March 12.-[Special. Par
ticulars of the tragedy reported in today's
SENTINEL are not forthcoming with any,
thing like gratifying promptness. A fuller
investigation of the facts makes it very
certain that Michael Overmeyer did not
commit suicide. His death was either
the result Of accident or he was murdered,
and circumstances strongly support the
latter theory.
Deceased was a quiet, cheerful and in
dustrious man, with no bad habits, and SO
far as known no enemies. He was mar
ried to bis second wife less than a month
ago. lie had taken employment at Hunt
ington, where he had intended 10 move
with his family today. Last evening he
ate supper with a friend in town, and
after a short visit, started to the home of
Elijah Miller just at the edge of town
where his wife was. 1t was perhaps a
few minutes after o'clock, but as it was
raining and quite dark but few people were
on the streets. At point less than ten
rods from the corporation line he was
shot. Several persons who happened to
out OF doors at the time heard the report
and also his cries, among them his now
bereaved wife. Within five minutes
friends were at bis side, only to see him
breathe his last but too late to solve the
mystery of bis death. The body lay face
downward in the middle Of The road, and
his revolver was found, sheathed, some
three or four feet away. Two chambers
were empty and this at first led to the
suppositlon that his death was accidental.
His wife says that he had $500, which he
carried in leather pocket book in his in
side vest pocket. When found his vest
was open and this pocketbook gone He
had about SIT in loose money which was
found on his body.
If he was murdered, which seems nj.
most certain, the work was by the hand
of some one with full knowledge of his
possessions and purposes. The coroner
has the case in hand and it is believed his
verdict will be in substantial accordance
with these facts.

II Kings Wis. Then the king of
Syria warred against Israel, and took
counsel with his servants, saying, In such
aud a place shall be my camp.
9. And the man of God sent unto the
king of Israel, saying, Beware. that thou
pass not such place; for thither the
Syrians are Gay come down.
10. And the king OF Israel sent to the
place which the man of God told him and
warned him of, and saved himself there
not once nor twice.
IL. Therefore the heart of the king of
Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and
he called his servants, and said unto
them, Will We not shew me which of us
is for the king of Israel?
u. And one of his servants said, (b)
None, my lord, o king: but Elisha, the
prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king
of Israel the words that thou speakest in
thy bed-chamber.
Is. And: he said, Go and (c) spy where
he is, that l may send and fetch him.
And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is
in Dothan.
IA. Therefore sent he thither horses,
and chariots, and great host: and they
csme by night and compassed the city
about

of God was risen early, and gone forth, be-
hold; host I'D compassed the city both
with horses and chariots. And his servant
said unto him, Alas, my master how shall
we do.
16. And he answered, Fear not for
they that be with US are more than they
that be with them,
II. And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord.
pray Thee, open his eyes, that he may
see. And the Lord opened the eyes of
the young man; and he saw and, beho d,
the mountain was full of horses and char
