They did adopt snch q resolution with re-

To be sure. other feathered creatures are
killed before their wings are utilized, but
ostrich pluines are plucked while the bird

ESCAPED WITH THEIR LIVES.
Team Of Wild Horses, Dragging a Log-wagon,
Dashed Among aNumber of School Children.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
CRAwFoRDsvILLE. Ind. Nov. 30.-The most
exciting runaway that has ever taken place
in Charlottesville occurred yesterday. A
team hitched to q log-wagon started in
front of Music Hall. and ran down the
street toward the Central school-buildiDg.
where the children were gathering. at 1
o'clock. The street stopped ut the school
house, but the horses kept on. knocking
down ten panels of iron fence. They cIrcled
the school-bonse, the children being scat
tered in all directions. There were several
narrow escapes. but the only injuries were
caused by the scramble of the children in
getting out of the way.

IN 1880 the average wages of iron-ore
miners in this country was S30e.49, while
in 1890 they were S4O9.S5. And yet men
have the audacity to stand before au-
diences and make speeches which lead
their hearers to infer that the men en-
gagged in the iron industry in this coun-
try are paying their work-people just
enough to keep soul and body together.
That may be true, but it is 80 per cent.
more than is paid elsewhere in the world.

THAT Indianapolis was spared the dis

while his crime is q monstrous %offense,
there is not the slightest reason to be-
lieve that he will escape the punishment

were worse than a ~pickpocket because he
has expressed his views regarding the
~impropriety of the members of that or
ganization marching under the late con-
federate flag. which it ayers Captain
Palmer has referred to as "the sinking
emblem of treason" 1t goes so far as
to question the Commanders military
record, and to impute that he was q sub
%stitute. This is simply ridiculous. Capt.
Palmer was made commander-in-chief
because he made a first-class record as
an enlisted man and subaltern. 1t seems
that the paper which was once the organ
of the "New South" is trying to keep
alive the spirit Of s~ectionalism. 1t may
insure the Commanders reelection.

The jury in the Shankland case, after being out forty-two hours came into court and were discharged. They stood eleven to one in favor of acquittal. The story published in last nights Prospector that they stood ten to two for conviction was not the case at any time during tine deliberations of the jury. On the first ballot four voted for conviction and one for manslaughter, but they soon settled down to eleven to one and stood that way till the close. What the result will be has not been learned but it is thought a new trlal will be had at the next term of court and that application for bail will be made for the defendant.- Prospector.

Ecrasite, a new explosive, is the invention of two Austrian engineers named Siersch and Rubin. Its power is stated to be in relation to dynamite as 100 to 70, and the new explosive is said to be capable of being carried from place to place with perfect safety. It emits a thick black smoke, and the detonating noise is louder than that of gum powder, but shorter, sharper and clearer. A bombshell loaded with it explodes with such terrible re- suits that experiments against pali- sades, representing 100, 250 and 500 men at ranges of 300, 75O and 1,200 meters, are said to have recorded marks on every division of the pal isade standing for a soldier. No details of the composition of this new explosive are known, as the secret of the invention is being closely guarded by the Austro-H Hun garian war office.

A French geologist has made a careful calculation of the amount of solid matter yearly carried off in- to the ocean by the action of the rivers of the world and other causes. He estimates that the reduction of the average height of the surface of the solid lands is 0.006 inches each year. Making allowance for the corresponding rise in the bed of the ocean, and taking no account of the occurrence of volcanic and other ex- ceptional phenomena-the general tendency of which is to hasten the process of disintegration-the pe- riod at which the solid land will have ceased to exist, and the sur face of the earth will be covered with water has been estimated, As, however, that period is 4.500,000 years distant, the prediction need cause no immediate disqnietude.- Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.

Millionaire Blythe'S Wild Hogs.

Roaming over the lands of the
 Lerdo colony, seventy miles south
 of Yuma, are droves of wild hogs,
 variously estimated at from 1000 to 5000 in number. They are de- scendants of tame hogs placed on the ranch when Thomas H. Blythe was part owner, about thirteen years ago. After Blythe's decease and subsequent reversion of his in- terest to General Andrade, the hogs were turned loose and allowed to go at will over the rich bottom lands of the Colorado river. A few genera tions transformed them into savage beasts, who could attack and eat a man if they had the opportunity. They subsist chiefly upon the wild potato, a tuber which grows the size of a walnut and in great pro- fession. The present owner of Ter do, General Andrade, conceived tn idea of having the hogs caught, and the meat cured for the use of the colonists,
 Operations were begun about a year ago, and though not conducted on large scale has proven success full. The hogs are caught in a cir cular corral about thirty feet in diameter, having a trap door. Plen- ty of bait in the shaps of corn and potatoes IS scattered about the en- trance and also buried in the canal. A band of hogs are attracted by the bait, enter the canal, commence roofing for the buried corn and po- tatoes, and when the right spot is struck by them the trap door falls and they are prisoners. The hogs are fed while before slaughtering. Their meat is ot fine quality and lard sweet and delicious.-Yuma Times.
