A Murderous White at Large.

CINCINNATI, July 15.-The En-
quirer's special from Milton, Ind,
says, that while resisting arrest for
the attempted murder of his sweet
heart at Tinsley Ridge, a small in
land town near here, John White
shot and instantly killed Thomas
Field. White had been calling
on Miss Nettie Atkins for some
time, and lately she had accepted
the atteDti ton of other young men
in her town. This so angered
White that he induced the girl to
take a ride with him, and when
but short distance from her home
he attempted to murder her, stab
bling her in the breast and neck,
leaving her for dead. She shortly
after recovered consciousness, and
Thomas Field and others attempted
to arrest White, when he shot and
instantly killed Field. White is
still at large.

tueky distillers will cease the pro-
duction of whisky for Is months
will be decided this morning at q
meeting to be held in the Union
National bank, at which George

Kentucky distilleries, whose names
are at present unknown, and who
have as yet refused to sign the
agreement as to the combined out

New York Sun for Mex inley.

NEW YORK, July l6.-The New
York Sun this morning repudiates
the national democratic platform,
and supports Mckinley for the
presidency. 1t says:
ain the different states the state
candidates for the mortified and
disheartened members OF the de-
mocracy to follow are yet to be
determined. In them, and espe-
cially in New York, where David
Bennett Hill has struggled for his
party against overwhelming odds,
the nucleus of democratic regener-
alton must be found.
"But from now until the night
of election day, in November, 1896,
the presidential candidate of every
democrat who favors honest
money, and who still hopes to
crush the enemies OF the funda-
mental principles he was bred in,
should be, without hesitation,
evasion or stop to prejudice, Will
lam Mckinley"

Estrada Palma, of the Cuban junta,
when seen last night regarding
Antonio Maceo's reported death,
said:
81 have no advices at all regard
ing the matter, but l do not believe
the news to be true. 1t Is absurd"
said Senior Palma, with emphasis,
"to think that Maceo who is be-
loved by his own people, could be
murdered by Cubans. AS to the
alleged racial war which is said to
have broken out in the insurgent
ranks, that is all nonsense, as the
Spanish have previously tried often
to spread the same report, hoping
to injure the cause"
NEW YORK, July 16.-A dis
patch to the Herald from Athens
says: A dispatch from Canea
states that Tuesday evening after
a consular council one of the con-
suls declared the situation to be
very grave. The military authori-
ties are assuming an aggressive
attitude. The general sentiment is
that Abdullsh Pasha is striving,
in conjunction with the MUssulE
mans, to prevent an entente from
being brought about. The Turks
were repulsed yesterday by the
Christians. The affair was seri-
GUS one, a large force of troops be-
ing engaged. The military author
tiles are acting contrary to the
wishes of the Vail and the instric-
tions received from Constantinople.
The Mussullmans are operating
actively with the Turkish army
with the usual veXatious results.
Under the pretext Of removing the
bodies of the sailors who were
killed yesterday by the insurgents
when pursuing rescue boat con.
tanning fugitive Christians, the
Turkish troops are advancing to
ApokoranOa.
The consuls are holding a coun-
Gil.

figuring" process.
After this the glass went into the
grinding room, where sand and water
were first used to bring down the gross
irregularities on the surface. Later
emery was used, from the coarsest to
the finest, this in itself being a labor
of years. After the emery the finest
jewelers. rouge was used for polishing.
1t is but brief matter to tell of this
polishing process, but it is work OF
such delicacy that several years were
required to put the desired finish on
this forty-inch disc One of the great
arts of polishing is to get the figure.
or uniformity of curve, absolutely per-
feet. The polishing machine is pecu-
liar affair which rubs over the face OF
the disc with a motion resembling that
of the human hand.
One of the great difficulties in the
work is to rest the glass on a perfectly
even surface. Some polishers have
tried to overcome this by floating the
disc in mercury, and the extreme deli
cacy of the polishing pressure can be
Judged from this The plan most gen.
orally used is to place the grass upon
a number of automatically adjusting
points coated with pitch.
Every little while during the polish
ing process the disc had to be tested
for the detection of the tiniest bump
on the surface. How even the surface

tains or large rivers or lakes, this
piece of glass Will show them for the
first time in the history of the world.
Not only will it discover the wonders
of the moon but it will reveal thou
sands OF unknown things about the
other heavenly bodies 1t will mark
Dne of the greatest steps taken in as
Economical science since the invention
of the telescope by the Holland spec
tacle makers, Jansen and Liffersciem,
away back in 1900.
This piece of glass is the forty-inch
lens for the great telescope given by
Charles T. Yerkes to the University of
Chicago. 1t will be set up in the OBJ
servatory built on the shores of Will
Hams Bay Lake Geneva, Wisconsin,
where the atmospheric conditions for
astronomical observations are more IA
vorable than those on Lake Michigan
Astronomers in all parts of the world
are eagerly awaiting the adjustment of
the lens to the telescope. This will be
accomplished within the next month,
and before the end of the year it is be-
lieved that enough will be discovered
to completely upset ali of the present
studies of the science.
The fortyinch lens has been in the
work shops of Professor Alvin Clark at
