A Lake Phenomenon.

A curious phenomenon was observed
at Cleveland, o., the other day. The
water of the lake suddenly began to
fall, and before the movement stopped
1T had gone down 30 inches, leaving
some of the skiffs and sailboats in the
inner harbor high and dry. Fortunate
ly no large vessel was at that time NOV
ing in or out OF the river. In 20 min
utes the water came back in one large
wave, which spent itself on the break
water and the beach. 4 peculiarly
shaped black cloud hung over the lake
to the northeast at the time.

DIsPENsARY INVESTIGATION.
Governor Evans on the Stand-N othing
New Developed Yet.


Columbia S. c., Sept. 16.--The dispen-
sary investigation by the state board of
control began at $3.50 o'clock this morn
ing. There was good attendance of the
parties concerned
Governor Evans was the first witness.
His testimony was the same as given in
his recent manifesto. He went little
further in bringing in Secretary of State
Tompkins saying that Scruggs had said
it appeared to him that Tompkins was as
guilty as Mixsop. Scruggs, the clerk
who was sent to Cincinnati by the gov
ernor to investigate the matter of the
rebates received by the Mixsons, was the
second witness. He testified that the
books of the Mill Greek company showed
that the Mxson boys had been paid
$4,000 in rebates. He referred to several
letters, which he considered implicated
Colonel Mixson in the matter. Colonel
Mixson's attorney demanded the produce
ton of these letters. In the course of the
examination Governor Evans in feply to
the direct question as to whether he had
gotten any rebates himself, said that he
mad never received l cent and dared
any one to prove that he had
The only other witness was Barnard
b. Evans, younger brother of the gov
ernor. lie stated that Commissioner Mix-
son had urged him to form a co-partner-
ship with his (MiXsons) sons to act as
agents for whisky houses and he (Mix
SOM would buy all the LIQUOR from them
He had consulted with friends and they
had advised him to have nothing to do
with it. Wv
Nothing of consequence has been
brought out so far and it Is not thought
that anything will come from it beyond
what is now known. Governor Evans
and Attorney Abney had an interesting
spat when the governors brother was
being cross examined.
The board adjourned at 1920 to resume
work again at p. m.
When Mr.. Abney began to question
Barnard Evans closely, pressing him for
an opinion as to the right or wrong of a
certain act, Governor Evans interfered
and told Mr.. Abney he was pushing "the
boy too far-further than he had any
right to do under the rules of evidence.
Mr. Abney finally told Governor Evans
that he did not know he was there act
ing the part OF prosecuting attorney, and
when he came to think of 1t he believed
that he (Abney) was better friend to
the governors brother in this matter
than the governor was himself
At the afternoon session Colonel Mix
son and his sons were placed on the
stand Young Mixson again confessed
to having gotten over $4,000 in rebates
without his fathers knowledge and told
how he worked the scheme, but nothing
new was brought out The investigation
concluded at p. m. and the board and
the legislative committee went into ex-
ecutive session to deliberate over the
matter. The hearing has been SIMPLY an
elaboration of the first reports sent out
and is simply a forerunner of a search
ing legislative investlga ton, which the
people are certain to demand.

The Situation in Indiana.

Indianapolis, Sept. 16.-The democratic
state executive committee was in session
here today considering the question of
fusing with the populists. The popu-
lists are making big demands that the
democrats won't grant. Another thing
that stands in the way of fusion is the
threat of the Sound money" leaders to
put state ticket I'm the field. There now
seems little prospect of fusion.
