TERRE HAUTE. Ind, Feb. 5.-The lee
ture delivered in the regular course at the

Prof. A. NJ. Hall, of Butler University, has
caused something of a sensation. Professor

Hall. but the Normal lecture management

10 criticisms of the creeds of the churches,
and In some instances caricatures. DIR.
Holmes, In a card in one of the daily pa
pers, said that the only effect of such lee
lures would be to unsettle young minds.
President Parsons, Of the Normal. has been
interviewed, and, while he believed the gen.
eral thought of the lecture was correct, yet
destructive in it's character. The President
said that the lecture committee, which is
composed of students and members of the
faculty, ought not to be censured for bring

FREED BY GROSSCUP
CHARGES OF CONSPIRACY AGAINST
-FOUR A. r. T.. MEN DISMISSED.
Presidents and Managers of Rail-
ways ON the Witness Stand.

CHICAGO, Feb. 5.-Judge Grosscup, to-
day, dismissed the charges of conspiracy
against Dennis Larkin, John Burke. Joseph
Mcdonald and Frank Dreyer. co-defendants
with Debs. This action was in conformity
with the motion of the attorneys for the de-
Tense made yesterday. In the cases of Hama
han and McVean the Judge said he would
hold his action in allegiance until more of
the testimony had been heard.
The defense opened its case by calling a
number of prominent railroad men to the
stand. President Thomas. of the Western
Indiana road, was called and asked about
the proceedings Of the General Managers
Association. He produced reports of the
associations proceedings, but requested that
they should not be made public. The de-
Tense m to prove by Mr.. Thonlas's
testimony that an agreement existed previ-
Gus to and during the strike between the
general managers and the Pullman COM
pany. but this he positively denied.
President Roosevelt Miller, of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul, was asked if attor-
ney Walker, assisting the government, was
battle followed, the defense Claiming that
Mr. Walkers service as attorney for an in
terested railroad should disqualify him from
serving as counsel for the prosecution.
The matter was finally ruled out by the
court, and General Manager Hurley. of the

or the General Managers Association, but
ne could remember but little of what oc-
Cured during the meetings and was ex-
cused from the stand.
PRESIDENT Thomas. of the Western Indi-
ana, was on the stand again in the after
noon. He said there was an agreement
among the roads to make a report to the
General Managers Association before any
Ioad made an increase in wages. He said
mat on Aug. 80. 1893, a resolution was
ADOPTED to reduce wages all around and the
various roads were requested to endeayor
70 impress on their employees the necessity
for such a reduction.
W Allen, assistant general manager of
the ROCK Island, was questioned as to the
discharge of Yardmaster Lovejoy, at La
Sale, Ill. He denied that the discharge was
because IoVeJoy was a delegate to the
American Railway Union convention, but
simply the result of a scaling down process
adopted by the road.
The defense expects to nave George M.
Pullman on the stand in the morning. An
officer with a subpoena was hunting for
Mr.. Pullman during the afternoon. but, up
to this evening, he had not been found.

PROPOSED AIR FISH
GEN. WILLIAM sooY SMITHS IDEA
OF THE OMING BALLOON.
Ii Will BE Constructed ON the Princi-
pie of the Water DweIIer-New
Thing in Acronautics.

CHICAGO, Feb. 5.-Gen. Vim. Sooy Smith,
the expert engineer. has a novel idea in re-
gard to the construction of balloons for war
purposes or other uses. Speaking, to-day.
of the new war balloon which Uncle Sam
proposes to have built for army balloonists
at Fort Logan, Col, General Smith, after
pointing out that this is the first war bal
loon that will be built in this country. all
others having been made in France, said:
Some time ago, while on an engineering
tour, / sat down on the banks of a stream
and watched a fish that was floating quietly
a few feet from the surface. 1 soon noticed
that it rose and fell at will without the
slightest movement of a fin. / became in
terested in the operation from a mechanical
standpoint. / naturally supposed that the
fish was enabled to sink by letting out a few
bubbles of air. But how was he to get air
with which to rise? That set me thinking,
the fish rose and fell by a contraction of his
muscles. that compressed him and altered
he wished to sink. Now. Notwithstanding
the amount of attention the subject of aerial
navigation has lately received. the balloon
was invented. 1t is still lowered by letting
gas escape and raised by throwing out
When a balloon has once thrown out it's
sand bags and liberated enough gas to

is, therefore,, not an air-traveling machine,
but merely the means of a single ex-
cursion. ! think the first step in solving the
problem of aerial navigation is in making
a sailing ship or balloon that is capable
of voyages-that is to say, a bal
loon that could come to the ground and rise
again without wasting any gas, lie In wait
for favorable winds, and do this any num-
Der of times, and be, In fact, a perpetual
balloon, capable of returning. The way to
do this would be to take advantage of the
principle of the fish. AS 1t would not be
possible to compress the bag of a balloon,
the mechanical way would be to carry a
metal reservoir and a small hand COM
presser instead of the sand bags. The pump
could be attached to the escape tube. When
the aeronaut wished to descend he would
pump part of the gas out of the balloon into
the compressor. Then, when he had wealth
cred the storm or performed his errand,
the gas could be allowed to expand again
a simple idea, but one that has not been
adopted in a~eronautics.

RALEIGH, N. c., Feb. 5.-The Supreme

elect Marion Butler, president of the Ma

council the following resolutions on the cur

Whereas, it is currently reported that
another bond issue had been determined
upon by the President OF the House. and
Whereas, in our opinion existing statute

COMMERCIAL CLUBS VIEWS
ON Payment of Cost of street Clean
ing from General Fund.

The Commercial Club committee on city
interests has submitted a communication
to the House committee on the affairs of
the city of Indianapolis, calling attention
to what they believe to be a serious defect
in the proposed amendments to Sections SO
and 30 of the city charter. If these amend
ments should be adopted the committee
says they would abolish the present system
Of street cleaning without providing the
substitution of any fixed system, though
the city attorney thinks that under the
general powers conferred upon it the city
has authority to inaugurate a plan of street
cleaning to be paid for from the general
fund, If revenues for this purpose should
be made available. The committee says that
this would mean a return to the old way,
uncertain, as a result Of which the streets
We're almost constantly In bad condition.,
satisfaction. In view of this experience,
1t seems to the committee that the change,
as PProposeu, W en hs, p s sts & o shars az ner,t
in the proposed amendment to pay for street
cleaning from the general fund, but regards
as a very serious mistake the abolition of
the present system without substituting for
1t one that would equally assure the clean
be done by requiring that street cleaning
shall be done under contract, as at present,
and requiring in the charter that the Coun-
Gil shall levy a special tax to be sufficient
for thorough work and to he used for this
purpose only. If the section is properly
framed 1t would assure the cleaning of
streets and would at the same time provide
for the payment OF the work from the gem
eral fund. :.
The committee regards the proposed
amendment to Section 70 as a step In the
wrong direction. 1t would permit obstruc-
ton Of public improvements by persons
owning property. but not residing on the
streets to be improved. 1t is argued that
the people residing on the street are the
principal sufferers from the lack of its
Improvement. The committee believes 1t
is wrong that those who have merely a
financial interest in preventing such inn
provements should be given power to OBJ
struct them, or should have equal voice
with those whose comfort and convenience,
as well as financial interests, are affected.
City Attorney Scott holds that Section 50,
giving the Board of Public Works power
ITO repair. clean, light and sprinkle any
street. is sufficient authority for doing the
