And the bridegroom Tarried.

NOBLESVILLE, March S1.-Special.-
Last night Miss Cora Turner was to have
been married to a young gentleman from
indianapolis. Preparations had been
completed for a swell event, but for
reasons unknow even to the intended
bride the prospective groom was con-
spicious by his absence. When the min
lister arrived Miss Turner had not re-
ceived a single word from him regarding
his peculiar actions. This is the second
time that a date had been set for the
wedding and it is also the second time
that the young gentleman has failed 70
nut in an appearance.

prevails, as a rescuing party are digging
into the ruins of a building wrecked by
a gas explosion. to rescue several men
who have been buried beneath the ruins
and are doubtless dead.
About O'Clock tonight the town was
startled by terrific noise as if a powder
magazine had exploded.
1t was occasioned by a. natural gas ex-
plosion in a building which Accommodated
a barber shop and the American ex-
press company's Office.
This structure was blown to pieces
and the remnants fired
The rear of the Whitesides block was
badly shattered also and other structures
in the vicinity were badly shaken up.
The actual damage to the buildings
will reach probably $1,000
The flames burned fercely and the fire
alarm brought the department to the
scene
The following were rescued by the fire
men from the ruins but more or less in
jured:
James Scott
William Pyle.
Henry Heard
There were seven men in the building
and the following were doubtless killed
and their charred remains may now be
found at any moment:
HARRY BOURYER.
ORA BALL.
JESSE HARRELL.
CHARLES HOOVER.
The rescuing party is working bravely
at late hour, but no hopes that the
men named are alive are entertained by
even the most sanguine.
Harrell and Hoover leave families-the
others were all single men. The utmost
excitement prevails and but little sleep
win be taken in this village tonight.

which four men were killed and three

The clothing stock was entirely ruined,
as were the barber shop and express

The total monetary loss will reach
$50, 600.
There was a basement several feet in
tilation, and in this cavity The natural
gas accumulated
1t is thought to have become ignited
through the fire in the stove.
There is said to have been a quantity
Of nitro-glycerine in the express office
and some claim that TO be alone the
cause of the explosion, and that it was
caused by can falling from off shelf,
where it had been placed, but the pre-
pOnderance of evidence appears to prove
it to have been due TO the accumulation
of natural gas in the manner described.
The calamity is due 10 the careless
ness of the architects in leaving no ven
tilation for the basement to prevent the
gas accommodating. and the inefficiency Of
the work of the plumbers.
After fighting the flames for hours the
rescuers were able to reach the bodies
of the dead men. and the four biackened
corpses, burned so as to be entirely be-
yOund recognition, were removed from
the charred timbers and taken to their
homes

Among them are Showalter, Crosse, Albin,

the Bairds and pretty Mrs, Showalter, the
queen Of the chess world and the only
member OF her sex present except Steinitz's
niece and attendant, Miss Hedwig Steinltz.
Many OF them shake their heads. "The
game is lost TO Steinitz. Nothing can save

have fairly developed and yet are not so

elasticity, power and facility for affording

nervous system has become we'll developed,

"At 80 the organs have ceased to increase

A Curious Railway Relic.

Among various trophies secured by
Chief Smith of the transportation de-
partment during his recent visit to Eu-
rope is small brass pocket piece re-.
sembling an ordinary baggage check,
which is worth great deal more than
its weight in gold. 1t is of octagon
shape and on one side is stamped the
inscription, IL. &. s. Railway" Bag
worth, No. 29." On the opposite side
the number is repeated. This fortu-
nately preserved relic represents the
kind and form of tickets in use in 1882
for "open carriage passengers" on the
Leicester & Swannington Railway.
The distance covered by the main
line was trifle over sixteen miles, and
the passenger fares charged were one
and one quarter pence per miles. There
was one class only, and passengers
stood up in an open carriage, generally
known as a tub, which was nothing
better than high sided goods wagon,
having no top, no seats, no spring buf-
fers. These brass tickets were issued
to the various stations, the guard of the
train carrying leather bag something
in the style of collection box, having
eight separate divisions, one for each
station. At the end of each passengers
journey his ticket was taken up and
placed in the bag by the guard to be
returned, recorded on the books and
again used.-Chicago Times.

THE GOVERNORS ELECTION.
There Is No Law in Tennessee Providing
for Contest.

Ia correspondent Of the Nashville Ban-
ner has the following to say about a
contest forthe Office of Governor be.
Sfore the Legislature 80
In the very able and ingenious legal
argument in last Saturday g American
headed "The Right to Contest find
the following statement: "In no State
is the law sustaining the. contest of
elections more clearly established than
in Tennessee" 4" AftfJ LePl
To this the writer should have added
that the people of Tennessee, in their
constitution and statutes, have express
ly and amply provided for a mode of
contest in the election of all officers,
judges, attorneys general, Justices of
the peace, sheriffs, econstables and
clerks, but they have studiously avoid
cd to provide for q contest in the elec-
tion of Governor. Notwithstanding
that for over 100 years the constitution
contained the clause, Contested cleo.
tions for Governor shall be determined
by both houses Of the General Assembly
in such manner as shall be prescribed
by law,n the. people have never de-
manded and the Legislatures have never
enacted law providing for a contest
In the election Of Governor. - 1t seems
to have been accepted ss q part Of the
law Of the State that It would be a
workof supererogation, that it would
be undignfied to drag the exalted office
Of the chief executive into the mire
and mud of an election contest, Hence
there is q contest provided for mem bers
Of the senate and house, and OF the
houses being sole judges of the quail
fications of their membership, The
judicial tribunals are clothed with ju-
risdiction to hear contests for all State
and county and Judicial officers, but
the legislature. las has been stated, has
never acted on the power to it given to
provide mode and create tribunal
for a contest Of the election of Gov
ernor. 2
In this state of facts can it be seri-
ously maintained that it would be
right, that itwould be morally or le.
gally right, or in accordance with the
good policy to have a partisan legisla-
ture before the inauguration of the
Governor pass contest law which in
its operations would retroactively and
retrospectively affect the election held
last November Who is there to gain.
say that it would be unfair for the
Democratic party to pass such n law
aud make it retroactive after Repub-
lican has been elected, when for thirty
years of uninterrupted rule the Demo-
cratic party never even thought of such
legislation. EX EQUA EFT BoNUM.
