ATTENTION TO CANALS.
Several Inland Water Ways OF Recent
Construction In Foreign Countries.

Construction In Foreign Countries.
During the years that the people
were more actively engaged in ex-
tending railroads the construction of
canals was practically discontinued
throughout the world. In England.
before the time of railroads, there
was splendid canal system, afford
ing cheap transportation over great
part of the country. These canals
fell into the possession of the rail-
<oad companies many years ago and
their use was largely discontinued to
prevent competition, and the people
were taught to believe that railroads
had entirely superseded canals Sew
cral of the canals of Pennsylvania
and one at least in Virginia were
also captured by railroad companies
and were allowed to go dry. The
Baltimore Sun says it has at length
been discovered that this was
great error. There is vast
amount OF heavy tonnage that does
not demand speedy delivery. which
can be transported by canals and
upon which railroad freight would be
prohibitory. The Erie canal alone
has maintained the supremacy of
New York a. port FOR the shipment
of grain The city of Manchester
has been constructing a canal at an
enormous cost, which will make it an
inland seaport, such as its location

THE CHAPLAIN DISMISSED,

JEFFERsoNvILLE, Ind, June 15.-The
board of prison directors asked for the
resignation of P. j. Collop, who for
two years has been chaplain. Collop
at once complied with the wishes of the
board. Three weeks ago Rev. Collop
publicly charged Deputy Warden
Howard and Physician Runcie with
being instrumental in the death of
Newton Short, convict sentenced
from Jefferson county.
Short was morphine eater, and Col
lop charged the officials of being de-
relict in their duties. At the coronial
investigation it developed that Short
died from natural causes. Collop was
therefore held in a bad light by the
officials. The board thought it to the
best interest of the institution to secure
Collop's resignation. Rev. S. II. G.
Bosley, of this city, and +. P. Gates, OF
Austin, Ind, are applicants for the
place.

INQUEST CONTINUED.
Ths Testimony Friday Very Strong Againse
Ainsworth and Dant.


WASHINGTON, June 17.-At the con-
tinuance of the inquest into the cause
of the disaster in Ford's theater, wit
nesses gave testimony which tended to
show even more than that of Friday,
that Col. Ainsworth and Contractor
Dant were personally responsible for
the condition of the building and that
the work performed in extension of the
cellar was defective in every respect.
Architect Clark, of the capitol and
building Inspectors Office, reappeared
on the stand Friday and added his
testimony regarding the faulty meth
DDS Of construction employed in the
work being carried on under the build
ing. Two of the mon employed by
Contractor Dant, Messrs, Scott and
Parker, told how they worked in under
pinning the pier beneath the
building. They did not think
there was any danger Of the build
ing giving way, and they received
no instructions either from Mr.. Dant
or from Col Ainsworth to be unusually
careful in the work they were engaged
upon. Both these men, however, ad-
mitted that they had had no experience
in the matter of underpinning q
building. They admitted there
should have been some effort
made to support the floors OF the
building, but they thought the con-
tractor and Col. Ainsworth knew what
they were about and for that reason
gave themselves no uneasiness with re.
gard to the ~afety of the structure. H.
B. Covert, the superintendent of the
building, testified that. Col Aims
worth was alone responsible fol
the safety of the building. The
witness said Col. Ainsworth had
instructed him to watch the progress
of the work under the building, bu,
while he obeyed the instructions
he did not know enough about
building operations to be able
to judge whether or not the work was
being properly performed. Other wit
nesses declared that it was currently
rumored after the work under the
building was begun that the building
was in danger. It is thought the in
quest will be concluded Saturday.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND
Resorts to tho Bantlng System 10 Reduce
His Obesity.


WASHINGTON, Juno 16.-President
Cleveland has grown so very stout re-
Gently that he resorted to the Banting
system for the purpose Of reducing his
weight. He is adhering. to certain rules
of diet set down by his physician and
based on the fundamental principles
established by DR.. Banting. He takes
only two meals day, light breakfast
on rising and a very moderate dinner
late in the afternoon. He includes
neither lunch nor supper in the pro-
gramme outlined for him by his physi-
clan. His diet is confined to the simplest
foods, rejecting butter, potatoes, pos
try and all starchy foods, and is az
lowed only the scantiest supply Of
heterogeneous foods. He is not allowed
to partake of any fluids or liquors with
either meal, and is forced to rise
from both meals, still hungry, in
order that all the food eaten may be
properly assimulated and not sent to
build up the already too great supply
of fat. Mr.. Cleveland has taken to the
new order of things with spartan
resignation and is determined to pull
off score or so Of pounds during the
summer.

A Chance for American FODDER.

PARIS, June 18.-The failure of the
green crops in many districts owing to
the intense heat, promises TO cause a
fodder famine during the winter, and
prices are rapidly rising. The ministry
of husbandry has ordered the projects
of the different departments to report
to the ministry with the utmost
despatch the resources of grain and
fodder in their respective districts, and
whether any supplies are available for
the relief of the districts so sorely tried
by the long drought The minister OF
commerce has made similar in.
quiry Of the chamber of commerce.
Great numbers of cattle are being
slaughtered and the cattle markets
here are glutted The opinin is that
American fodder will find splendid
market here.
