A Brutal Case of .Hazing.,

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 3.-As John
Parker, a member of the freshman
class at Purdue, was returning to his
room after dark Friday evening, he
was seized by three masked students
who carried him to a secluded spot.
His clothes were torn from him and he
was dashed with switches and then
made to stand on a stump and sing,
after which he was made to tell his fam
lily history. The trio poured red ink
over the unfortunate boys body and
showed a half of a water melon over
his head. Young Parker is now at
home very ill.

KILLED AT A BULL FIGHT.-Four
persons were killed and many others
injured at a bull fight in the little town
of Mesquite, in the state of Jalisco,
Mexico, on Monday. Two bulls, wild
and vicious, were turned into the ring
at once. To kill these was a task de-
signed to bring all the fighters into ac-
ton at once. A banderillero approach
ed one of the bulls, which had been
brought to bay, waving a red cloth.
The animal charged him, but he jump
ed aside and drove the iron into the
thick skin of his neck. The ~banderillero
had forgotten the second bull, which
was upon him before he knew it. The
animal caught him on his horns, tossed
him over his back and gored him
through. As others ran to the rescue
the bull raised his head, with the band
erillero impaled on his horns, and
charged his new foes. In the mean
time the first bull had leaped owe the
barrier separating the ring from the
spectators and dashed into the crowd.
Many persons were gored and a panic
ensued, in which three persons were
killed and many injured.

Political parties like armies never fght

MORE SALTY THAN THE DEAD SEA.
Water of the Great Salt Lake varies
greatly in its contents of dissolved
solids, depending upon the relation be-
tween the supply of water through
streams and the evaporation. A fair
average of total solids dissolved in the
waters of the lake at its present mean
level is from 10 to 20 per cent. by
weight. But not all of this is common
salt; for besides this ingredient the
water contains sodium sulphate (Glau-
Der salts), magnesium chloride, calcium
sulphate (gypsum), and potassium sui
phate. A detailed analysis of water
taken from the lake in August, 1888,
was made by DR.. Talmage. This con-
tained in all 1856 per cent. dissolved
solids, of which 1874 was common salt.
Such water would yield of total solid
matter 391 pounds to the ton, and of
common salt about 314 pounds to the
ton.
The Dead Sea contains a greater pro-
portion of solid matter dissolved in it's
waters than does the Great Salt Lake.
Much discrepancy exists among pub
lished accounts of its contents, the
fluctuations in composition being due
to the same causes that prevail in our
lakes, viz, the relation between the
supply through infowiDg streams and
loss by evaporation. A sample taken
from a depth of lilo feet carries 25.4
per cent. of dissolved solids. This cor
responds to 52S pounds to the ton; but
of this only 7.55 per cent. was common
sailor l5l pounds to the ton.
Therefore, though the Salt Lake car.
ries q lower proportion of dissolved
solids of all sorts than does the Dea
Sea, the lake contains more than double
the proportion of salt. The chief solid
constituent of the Dead Sea water. is
not sodium chloride Common salt),
but magnesium chloride. Strictly
speaking, the water OF our lake is much
"brinier" than that of the Dead Sea,
common salt being the chief solid dis
solved in the lake. Nevertheless the
Dead Sea is much more highly saturat-
ed with solids.-DeSeret Neus.

Now York Politics.

By a unanimous vote, at a meeting
of the general committee ofthe Shep-
ard democracy, held in the Atheneum,
in Brooklyn last night, it was decided
that the democratic ticket, which was
selected at Saratoga, with David B.
Hill at the head Of it, should not be
supported also that the Shepard
forces would not consolidate with the
Regulars" of Kings county. A stand
ing vote was taken on the resolution
which was presented not to support the
democratic ticket. The result was
greeted with cheers. Edward NJ.
Shepard presided at the meeting.
A conference of the district leaders
and leading lights of the State democ-
a organization was held last night
at the Reform Club, in New York.
State and local third tickets were dis
cussed in all their aspects. No definite
decision was reached. William r.
Grace made this statement after the
conference, in answer to a question as
to whether d third State ticket would
be nominated: ut appears that the
leading men IN our organization are
for a third State ticket. but the rank
and file are against it,"
The Sun says that Senator Hill and
John Boyd Thatcher met representa-
tives of the Fairchild contingent yes
terday and discussed the situation. 1t
is said that the Fairchild people said
they would not run a State ticket
if Senator Hill and his associates would
allow them to head their municipal
ticket with the democratic State ticket.
The prospects for a combination of
the opposition to Tammany are not
good.
Senator Hill had a conference with
Judge w. J. Gaynor yesterday evening
regarding the latter's candidacy for
the Court OF Appeals on the democratic
State ticket, but nothing regarding
Judge Gayor's intentions are known.

Georgia Election.

SAVANNAH, Ga, Oct. 3.-Tbe vote is
light here. Chatham county will give
the State democratic ticket 5000 ma
iority. Atkinson, for Governor, will
run behind the ticket in the State.
The indications are that middle and
north Georgia will give a reduced dem
ocratic majority and there will be some
populist gains in the legislature.
ATLANTA, Ca, Oct 3.-A very heavy
vote is being polled. The populists will
probably increase their vote over that
of two years ago. A leading negro
populist in Hancock county shot the
democratic manager, but the wound
was not serious. The negro fled. The
State will go democratic by a safe ma
iority.

The Arkansass Storm.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Oct. 3.-News
from the Arkansas State Insane Asylum
at an early hour this morning confirm
ed the first reports concerning the
damage done that institution by the
tornado. which caused devastation and
death in this city last evening. All the
male department and annex were RACED
to the ground, four floors falling in a
mass. DIR. Ingate, formerly of Mobile,
Ala, and two patients were instantly
killed, and four other patients were
seriously and perhaps fatally injured.
At the peDitentiary three %convicts were
killed and q large number of others
were injured, some of them fatally.
The destruction in the residence part
of the city in the vicinity of the peni-
Tertiary is very great. State Senator
Vests daughter, who lived IN that
neighborhood, was injured by a falling
roof. The damage to residence pro-
perty in the West End will exceed
$4,000. The property loss to the State
there is $4,000. Several children were
covered with debris in the ruins of the
st. Charles Hotel, but they have all
been accounted for. The bell over the
Torrent engine house. weighing 700
pounds, fell into the street, and de-
molished the engine house. All but
twenty of the inmates of the insane
asylum have been discovered. Many
were found down town and placed in
jail, and some, it is feared, are buried
in the ruins. The loss. to the asylum
will reach $4,000. The storm came
from the southwest and swept nearly
everything in its path. The list of in

THE TEMPLE CUP.-W. G. Temple,
of Pittsburg, donor Of the "Temple
cupn for which the New York and Bal
timore baseball clubs have arranged to
play a series of games beginning Thurs
day, says it is his desire that the clubs
adhere to the 65 and 35 per cent. basis.
The club managers, he says. had no
right to arrange this matter to suit
themselves and play so per cent. to

must be lived up to. If baseball en-
thusiasts, he says, are expecting to see

IT Is said the A. 2. A. was instru-
mental to no small extent in increas-
ing the republican majority at the cleo
tions in Connecticut last Monday. The
growth of that organization is spread
ing rapidly all over the North, but, like
its prototype, the know-nothings, the
people of the South are too liberal and
liberty loving to afford a %congenial
home to any such illiberal and pro-
scriptive organization, and when it
reaches the borders of Virginia it will,
as its predecessor did, meet another i'm
passable stone wall.

cording to the easur of his expecta-
tons, and declared for Mr.. Allison,
says the latter stands for 8 lower tariff
and that the republican party in its
next national contest will advocate
free silver and a low tariff. The form
er is a cardinal principle of the popu-
list, and the latter, of the democratic par
ty. But if the republicans shall think
that such principles are popular a year
from next June, they will not hesitate
to adopt them, for Senator Sherman

"any thing is justifable in law and

cratic party"
