WABASH COLLEGE.
Revival of Athletic Enthusfasm-Ru1 e
That Worries De1fnquents.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
CRAWFORDSvILLE, Ind, JAM 20.-This
term at Wabash College has opened with
a rather unusual revival of athletic en-
thusiasm. The classes chiefly interested
are the sophomores and freshman but all
the classes are more or less concerned
through sympathy. The sophomores and
freshmen are to decide the question of
class supremacy in a miduinter meet, to
be held in some large hall in this city
on the 22d of February. The programme
will be entirely athletic and the events
will probably be under the rules of the
American Athletic Association. Among
the principal features of the contest will
be a quarter-mile walk, a twenty-yard
dash, wrestling. (collar-and-elbow and
catch-as-catch-can). jumping putting the
shot. pole vaulting, egg racing and bar
work The programme closes with the
event of the meet-a tug of war. The pull
ing will be without cleates and twenty
men from each class will engage in 1t.
One hundred and eleven points are involved
in the whole test. The classes have al

Morrison VIII Case.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
RICHMOND, Ind, Jan. 20.-Interest in the
Morrison will case is increasing, although
it has been great from the beginning and
the coming week is expected to produce
some evidence of more than ordinary i'm
portance. Over three weeks have now been
consumed and the plaintiffs have not yet
completed the introduction of their testi-
mony. They have worked hard to show that
the mind of James L. Morrison was I'M
sound previous to the time he made his last
will, and nearly every witness they have
had on the stand has given such as his
opinion. The last witness examined was
Mr.. Morrisons grandson and namesake,
James W. Morrison. one of the plaintiffs,
and he was kept on the stand for more than
two days, being very important witness.
The cross examination re underwent at the
hands of Congressman Henry u. Johnson,
attorney for the defendants, was a very
rigid one, but the fiery congressman found
the boy of twenty-five a difficult subject to
trip up Proceedings III the case will be re-
sumed Monday afternoon.

VINCENNES. Ind, Jan. pa sensation
was created here this morning when it
was learned that Arthur Cobb and Miss
Pet Bridgeman had eloped last night. Cobb
is of the late ex-Congressman
Thomas r. Cobb. Recently the young man
fell heir to a large estate by the death
of his father. Miss Bridgeman is
daughter of A. J. Bridgeman, a suburban
farmer. She was one of the prettiest
and most winsome of the citys maidens
and a Sunday school teacher. The couple
bought tickets for Indianapolis Miss
Bridgeman was soon to have been married
to Will Daniels, young druggist of Evans
ville Ind.
Nothing is known of this couple here.
A search of all the hotels in the city last
night failed to reveal them The police
have had no request to look for them.
There were no marriage licenses issued,
which leads to the superstition that the
couple did not come here, or if they did,
merely passed through.

Some biologists have thought that the
fine clay which covers the glacial clay CLAY
and gravel mixed came from such dust
falls as that which came last Friday night.
But as this dust fall in Rockville was only
about 0O5 of an inch in depth of compact
material, and as this generation never saw
such dust fall before. there are probably
not more than three such to century,
making .015 of an inch in 9. century. It
would take 6,666 years to fall one inch deep.
This fine clay Qoess) in the public square Is
twelve feet thick. This would require $780,
600 years to make what find in Rock

for our loess, 1t must have fallen in the
past more frequent and abundant than in
our day Most glacialists put our past gla-
cial time as about $4,000 years and our loesS
has been deposited since the glacier be-
came extinct. The foregoing figures are
approximations. the small decimals being
discarded, except the area measured and
the weight as given by Mr.. West.
This dust fail has prevailed over several
States and has attracted the active atten-
ton Of scientists, and great diversity Of
opinion prevails as to it's origin. Some say
star dust, meteoric dust, volcano dust from
eruption; say common earth dust
blown from the bare plains in the West
and dropped here. 1t is a most interesting
phenomenon, be the origin what it may.
Claude OFT makes the very pertinent sug-
gestion, that If the dust be blown from the
Western plains and country 1t would not
be likely TO settle in even thickness all over
Indiana. We hope that careful measure
ment, like that made here, will be made in
various and widely separated points in the
State, in order to find the heaviest dust fail.

Mexico VIII Settle the boundary Dis
pute with Guatemala.

MEXICO CITY, Mexico, Jan. 2O.-Don Ja-
cinto Castellanos, the new Salvadorian min
lister to Mexico, arrived in this capital last
evening In an interview, Hon. Ignacio
Marscal. Secretary of Foreign Relations in
the Mexican Cabinet, said: 1.-THE Saliva
dorian representative will be received in no
other capacity than the representative
of the interests of his government. This
means plainly that Mexico will allow no
meddling in the Guatemalan affair on the
part of Salvador, Honduras or any other of
the Central American republics which
Guatemala has been making such a great
effort to drag into the dispute against
Mexico. The international boundary matter
is entirely an affair between this country
and Guatemala, and Mexico will not con-
sent that it be for moment considered
otherwise Mr. Mariscal said that the
statement that his communication to Guate-
mala was in the form of an ultimatum
was not correct. 1t was a definite state
ment from Mexico of claims for indemnity
and for the completion of the surveys.
