COMSTOCK WAS PROSECUTED.
The Governor RENTS the Fine of a
Marion Citizen.

Rather an interesting case was passed
upon by the Governor yesterday. Z. Y.
Comstock, an old citizen of Marion. Ind,
was recently fined in the Blackford Circuit
Court s225 on charge of obstructing the
highway. Governor Matthews yesterday re-
mitted this fine at the solicitation Of all Of
the Blackford county officers and many
prominent citizens of Marion, among them
a number of officials. 1t seems that the
city, according TO letters from Marion. has
been encroaching upon Mr.. Comstocks
property and there was a dispute to
where the dividing line of the property is.
Mr.. Comstock instituted civil action to
have the line defined and the title TO his
property quieted. but meanwhile he was
arrested at the instance of certain persons
on criminal charge of obstructing a side
walk.
According to the best advices, the case
appeared to the Governor to be one of per-
secution. Some time ago Mr.. Comstock
was instrumental in securing a twenty-five
thousand-dollar guarantee to the builder OF
the Toledo, ST. Louis & Kansas City (Clo-
ver-leaD railroad, and upon the failure of
some of the gsiarantors to pay what they
them settle their accounts, the litigation
being carried TO the Supreme Court and
resulting in his favor. This seems to have
been oae Of the mainsprings In the pros
ecution against him. The case came to
Blackford from Grant county on change
of venue. 1t has attracted Widespread at
tention in the two counties, and popular
feeling appears TO have been largely with
Mr. Comstock The Governor had been
urged TO remit the fine and costs, and, after
giving the case careful consideration, did
so. He is always slow to remit fines, be-
cause of the fact that such action impels
other people to ask for remissions, and en-
courages in them the hope OF a favorable
outcome to such appeals.

KANSAS CITY, May 25.-Mr Sharsig's
team of Hoosiers made its first appearance
this season at Exposition Park to-day and
suffered defeat at the hands of Jimmy
Manning's Blues by the score of to 4.
The visitors could do little with the effect
i've pitching Of Daniels, getting but seven
hits. Gayle also pitched a good game-as
good as any pitcher has pitched here this
season-but the miserable support given
him was discouraging and disastrous. The
absence of short-stop Graham from the
team left big gap which Mills and Muir
ply vainly tried TO fill, and they sue
ceeded between them in accommodating seven
errors and letting in as many runs. The
work of Gray at third base and Leidy in
left field was good The Blues are credited
with fourteen hits off Gayle, but good
fielding would have kept them down to six,
for the others were made after chances had
been offered to retire the side. In the first
inning Manning's error gave Dalrymple a
life and he scored on MOTIFS drive for two
bases. In the third base on balls to Motz,
a wild throw by Niles, Leidy's grounder
to third and hit by Mills brought in two
more runs and the fourth was made on
two-bagger by Gayle and single by Muir

MACHINE FOR TESTING MILK.
DIR. Hurry Presents One to the Board
of Health.

DR.. Hurry has presented a mechanical
milk analyzer TO the Board of Health. The
machine Is the invention of Professor Bah
cock, sanitary chemist of Boston. A guam
titative analysis, showing the exact per
cent. of fat in any sample of milk may be
made with the machine without any previ-
Gus knowledge of chemistry, in about fif-
teen minutes. Provision is made for exam
ming four samples at one time. Sixteen
and half cubic centimeters of milk are
mixed with a like quantity of sulphuric
acid. The acid dissolves everything in the
milk except the fat. This mixture is then
put into a long-necked bottle, accurately
graduated on the neck. and then placed ia
the machine,-where Ii is reyolved at high
speed for about three minutes. the neck of
the bottle pointing toward the axis OF reyo-
luton. The fat being much lighter than
the remainder of the fluid soon accumu-
lates in the neck of the bottle. the heavy
portion being thrown 10 the bottom of the
bottle by the centrifugal force.
The machine was tested yesterday In the
office of the Board of Health. Pure cream
was tried and the per cent OF fat was
shown on the graduated guage to be Just
what IL should be for that quality OF cream.
Ordinary milk was tried and then a sample
of the same milk diluted TO one-half with
water. The machine showed the exact pro-
