INDIANAPOLIS, March Indianapolis

night, and it was feared for while that
it would prove another catastrophe
equal to the Surgical institute horror.

and in half an hour was completely
wrapped in flames 1t contained 204 in
mates, most Of whom were locked in
their rooms when the fire started All
were gotten out in safety. The released
prisoners ran screaming in every direc-
ton as soon as they got out. While the
firemen were busy with the flames the
police force was called out to gather in
the prisoners. About $50 of them were
found at the fire and in the vicinity, but
the other ifty-two got away, and only
two have been captured. They were
brought down town and corralled for
the night in the criminal court room.

Fields Alleged Insanity.

New YORK, March 2.-The inquiry
into Edward NJ. Fields mental condition
was continued before Judge Van Brunt
and jury. DR.. Landon c.. Gray, a
specialist in nervous diseases, testified
that Field was suffering from melan-
cholia and had delusion that people
were trying to poison him. Mr. Field,
he said, believed that Jay Gould and the
ear of Russia had bribed the employees
of Ludlow street Jail to give him poison.
1t was impossible, the doctor said, to as
sumo the symptoms he manifested. In
reply to juror, DR.. Gray said he
thought Field was not responsible for
his acts. Other witnesses gave similar
testimony

THE INDIANAPOLIS STRIKE.
A Receivers Appointment Brings a
Temporary Cessation Of Hostilities.

A Receivers Appointment Brings a
Temporary Cessation of Hostilities.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 2.-The
street car difficulties have been settled,
temporarily at least, in very emphatic
and unexpected manner. On applica-
ton of W. B. Fishback, John w. Kern
and few other prominent citizens
Judge Taylor, of the superior court, ap-
pointed Thomas Steel receiver of the
Citizens Street Railway company. The
applicants for the receivership allege
that President Frenzel is incompetent,
and that continuance of the strike,
which is the result of that incompetence
may result in bloodshed Mr.. Steele
was for many years superintendent Of
the company, but was removed by Presi-
dent FrenZel when the latter accepted
the position of president.
Receiver Steele promised to have the
cars running yesterday, but as he had
secured possession of but one barn his
promise was not fulfilled. All the other
barns were securely locked and barred
by the company. President Frenzel
went into court and asked for an in-
juction against Steele.
AS the company is perfectly solvent
the appointment of receiver has caused
not little surprise. This, of course,
has been construed as a partial victory
for the strikers. and it was celebrated
by organized labor in a street parade of
500 or 600 men, headed by brass band.
The court will refuse to take any ac-
ton on President Frenzels application
until he turns the entire property over
to the receiver.

Senator Marsh for CONGRESS-

ELIZABETH, N. j., March At is
rumored in political circles here that
the Democratic leaders have decided to
bring forward Senator Marsh, of Urion,
for congress in the new district if the
present rivalry for the nomination be-
tween John T. Dunn, of Elizabeth;
Frank G. O'Reilly, of Orange, and
James A. MARITIME, of Plainfeld, be-
comes so hot as to endanger the pros
poets of the party carrying the district.
The party leaders say that they do not
feel like taking chances with a weak
candidate against such strong man as
Mayor Rankin or ex-Assemblyman Voor-
bees, one of whom is tolerably certain
OF being the Republican nominee.

were taken out by the wrecking crew
and conveyed to the morgue, but up to
late hour but four had been identified

Bobote, John Grundowski and Robert

WHERE THE MONEY GOES.

The Chattanooga Tradesman, the
best posted journal in the country
on the industrial condition of the
South, makes this very timely OBJ
seryation:
One great drawback to the in>
dustrial progress OF the South has
been that We have always wanted to
do too big business at one place.
While we were adding acre to acre
into immense plantations prior to
the war and could see nothing small
er THAI 500 bill, the close listed,
ten cent New Highlander was making
almost every dwelling house fac
tory to produce something to sell us.
And we bought them-everything
from a steamboat or stage coach
down to Noah's ARK, wash boards,
broom handles, jews harps and tin
elephants. W hen the time came TO
develop our vast resources New
England had the money to scoop in
all the best paying investments. We
ought never to fool ourselves twice
the same way. 1t we want artesian
water. instead of digging one hole
a mile in diameter, let us bore few
thousand small ones over wide area
and it is not possible that all of them
will prove failures. There is limit
to the consumption OF iron, cotton
or bread stuffs but none to the many
thousand little things that perish in
the using. Why W. should go to
Michigan for a wheelbarrow, to
Pittsburg for shoe button hook, or
to Germany for a wooden toy passes
understanding when we have the
and men to make them
here.

Not a man in hundred who uses
pepsin as an aid to digestion has any
idea where it comes from or how it
is obtained. It is really prepared
from the gastric juice found in the
stomachs of hogs, and the ability OF
the hog to digest anything and
everything that will pass down its
throat is probably what led to the
somewhat peculiar idea OF concen-
trating the fluid which makes d.
gestion so easy in the porcine race.
Hogs that are kept without food or
water for twenty-tour hours before
being slaughtered yield an immense
quantity of gastric juice, and cor
respondingly of pepsin. TIE fact
that this article is so peculiarly pro.
cured and prepared should be very
comforting to those who find it does
not act upon their digestive organs
in the manner prescribed.
