FIRST IN HE NoaI.D.
The Eice Elevator at New Orleans Has
 Been Completed

Been Completed
 NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 20.-The Ma tional Rice Manufacturing company of this city has just completed the eree- tion of the first rice elevator in the world. The trials so far given it have proved the success of the experiment and other elevators will be erected both in New Orleans and other principal rice points in this country. The effect will be to reyolutionize the rice mar ket.
 Under the old system the cost of handling and selling the product was great, besides the inconvenience of sending out samples of each shipment and the impossibility of concentrating cargoes, owing to the difference in grades and contracts.
 In the new system the rice is brought in carload lots, dumped into the eleva- tor, cleaned, weighed and automatic ally assorted into one of the six grades by delicate machinery, and is then loaded into sacks, which are delivered on the warehouse floor ready for the market.
 Outside the saving in the handling, the esta blishInent of grades will facili- tate and systematize the sales, doing and establishing the rice industry on the same basis as other grain. The contention of the rice men heretofore has always been that it was impossible to grade rice.

SEVEN STORES BURNED.
A Disastrous Fire Visits the City of
Portland.

MUNCIE, Oct. -Special.-Portland,
east of this city. in Jay county, had its
most disastrous fire for years at an early
hour this morning. At about 1890 o'clock
fire was discovered in the rear of G.
Hearn's restaurant on the east side OF
Meridian-st.. one square north Of Main
ST., in the business center Of the city.
The alarm was sounded and the fire
department quickly responded. The
whole space between the point of the
fire and Main st. was occupied by old
frame buildings and the north wind
soon spread the breeze to all the build
ings. which were consumed, south 10
Main-st. and east to the alley, burning
the whole block. The department only
succeeded in combining the fire TO that
locality, although several adjoining fine
buildings were badly scorched. The fol-
lowing business firms were burned out:
Adair Bros, drug store; Smith Bros,
barber shop; Shaw Bros, meat market;
c. Hearnes. restaurant; I. H. Grum-
mans. saloon; 6. Camp & Son, shoe store;
Bowden Bros, saloon. There was great
excitement and nearly everybody in the
little city assisted in the hard fight.
The total loss is estimated at about $10,-
600. Only partially insured. The origin
Of the fire is supposed have been from
the bakery oven.

SHELBYVILLE, Oct 16.-Special-
Last February. John Hogan. an old
blind man. came to this city accom-
panied by Miss Hattie Hart of New AL
bany. 1t was represented that he came
from Charlottesville and was looking for
g. quiet place to end his days. He rented
a house in the southern part OF the city
and lived a very quiet life with Miss
Hart as a housekeeper. He made but
very few friends among the neighbors,
but to those with whom he was friendly
he said he had no relatives and intended
TO treat Miss Hart as a daughter. mean
ing perhaps that she should have his
property. He was not known 70 possess
any money but when he died last August
the undertaken found bandaged about
his arm $1,000, and in his trunk was
found more than that much. His death
occurred very suddenly and suspicious
of foul play were whispered about. The
coroner investigated but found that he
had died a natural death. No will has
yet been found disposing Of his wealth.
The publication Of his death with this
money brought forward a number of
persons claiming kinship to him. The
last to appear is Mrs. Mary Z. Ball of
Chicago, who reached this city last
week. and the story she tells is very
romantic one. She says that John Ho-
gan and Sophia E. Meyer were married
in Ohio In 1916 and shortly afterward
moved to Indiana They had three chill
dren. herself the Oldest, the other two
dying in infancy. In 1853 Hogan got
into some trouble and left home taking
with him a man who worked for him
named Joe Davis. The wife in a short
time procured a divorce and when Davis
returned to Indiana she married him.
Hogan entered the Union army and was
honorably discharged After the war
he married a woman in New Albany and
had two daughters. The wife died.
Della, one of the daughters, married
John B. Mclaughlin, a prominent bust
ness man Of Lebanon, and little over
a year ago she sickened and requested
that Mary Hart, a companion of her
girlhood, attend her. and just before
her death she made Miss Hart promise
that she would care for and be a daugh-
ter TO her old blind father. The other
daughter by his second wife had disap-
peared and it is not known whether she
Is dead or alive. Mrs. Mclaughlin had
made two wills, one leaving her entire
property to her husband and the other
giving the same TO her father. over
the settlement of the estate Hogan and
his son-in-Iaw quarreled and he and
Miss Hart came here.
Mrs. Mary Ball claims to be the only
living heir ana said that she had been
in correspondence with Hogan and he
had promised TO visit her August 20, but
he died before that time. Hogan was
disinterred yesterday and Mrs. Ball
positively identified him as her father.
She is a paralytic and confined to an
invalid chair The case has excited
much interest here and it Is believed
that the mystery surrounding the life
OF John Hogan is not yet cleared up.

TRAIN wRECKERs CONVICTED.
Heavy Sentences for the staunton
Malefactors.

BRAZIL, Oct. .-Special.-Friday aft
ernoon Noah King and Joseph Silvers,
Of Staunton were put on trial in Clay
circuit court on charge of having at
tempted to wreck a west-bound Vandalia
night passenger train, at Staunton, on
the night of June 16. 1892 by placing a
T rail across the track at the opening of
a cut. The train due at the time was a
limited mail running at a speed Of forty
five miles an hour. The engineer saw
the obstruction, which he thought to be
a fence rail which he could brush away
without danger. On striking the T rail,
Weighing 500 pounds, the train snapped
1t about the middle, throwing the halves
10 opposite sides Of the track and fore
ing one end four feet into the ground.
But little injury was inflicted and the
train ran on to Terre Haute as usual.
AS the obstruction was on a curve it
could not be seen in time to stop the
train. That there was no wreck nor even
derailment was regarded as bordering
on the miraculous. After being out all
night the jury this morning returned a
sealed verdict giving King thirteen years
in the penitentiary and agreeing TO dis
agree as to the guilt CT Silvers- King
is twenty-one years Of age and Silvers
nineteen years. King has been given

years for burglary, one Of four for grand
larceny and one Of thirteen for attempt
ed train wrecking.

How zimri Did II.

KENTLAND, Oct. 11.-Special-An
exemplification of Zimn Dwigginss fine
work has occupied the attention of the
courts here for the last two days.
From the evidencne adduced it ap-
pears that Zimri sold to sundry confiding
citizens of Benton county large blocks
of his stock in the United States loan
and trust company; that the stock was
bought at a premium of so cents on the
dollar; that the premium was paid in
notes Of the purchaser, which amount
went to Zimri as a reward for the spe-
cial opportunity of being permitted to
get in on the ground floor; that the
profits were to be so great and that the
accumulations thereof so rapid as to
pay all these premium notes, and they
were to be retained at the Commercial
bank at Oxford, Ind, and be thus
paid.
Ii now appears that one OF these notes
given by ex-Auditor Mcknight was by
Zimr turned into said bank to cover
the amount of a loan to Zimri not 9TH
erwise secured, and that Mr.. Mcknight
has been called on to pay by the re-
ceivcr OF the wrecked banks.
No evidence was offered showing that
any of this valuable stock was deliv-
cred and no dividends were mentioned
1t is reported that the success or fall
ure of this effort against Mcknight will
determine the fortunes Of others alike
situated.
