CHRIST CHILD LEGENDS.
Beasts and Birds Have a Prominent Place
In Christmas Lore.

Beasts and Birds Have n Prominent PiSoo
In Christmas Lore.
The story Of the hunting Of the wren
in the isle of Man every Christmas is
well known. She is known as Our La
dy's hen, God S chicken, Christ's bird,
because she was present at Christ s
birth, brought moss and feathers TO
cover the Holy Babe and made nest in
his cradle.
In France the cuckoo was believed to
have flown from Christmas log.
A Latin poem Of the middle ages tells
that the crossbill matches her eggs at
Christmas and her young birds fly off in
their full plumage at Easter.
The Mohammedans have many leg
ends Of Isa or Jesus One tells that
when he was years old he and his
companions made birds and beasts of
clay, and Isa proved his superiority by
making his fly and walk as he COM
manded.
In the Tyrol they say the ravens used
to have snow white plumage, but one
day Jesus wanted to drink at a stream,
and they splashed and so befouled the
water that he could not, so he said,
"Ungrateful birds, you are proud Of
your snow white feathers, but they
shall become black and remain so until
the judgment day.
4 Russian legend tells that the horse
flesh is considered unclean because when
Christ lay in his manger the horse ate
the hay from under his bed, but the OK
would not and brought back on his
horns TO replace what the horse ate.
The Britons believe that the OK and
the ass talk together between IL and ~
o'clock every Christmas eve.
In Germany the cattle kneel in their
stalls at that hour. Another version
says they stand up.
The ass and the COW are sacred be-
cause they breathed upon the Holy Babe
in his stall.
The ass is the most sure footed Of ami
mails because he carried the holy fami-
ly to Egypt by night. He has had a
cross on his back ever since.
Old women used to sprinkle holy wa
ter on the ass and the COW to drive away
disease.
Bees are said to buzz in their hives
at the exact hour of our Saviour S birth
In north Germany the version of the
man in the moon is thus told: One
Christmas eve a peasant greatly desired
cabbage, but as he had none in his own
garden he stole from his neighbor
Just as he filled his basket the Christ
Child rode by on his white horse and
said, Because thou has stolen on
Christmas eve thou shalt sit in the
moon with thy cabbage basket. +" And
there he still sits.-Philadelphia Ledg-

INTERESTING QUESTIONS.
Submitted to Judge Buck and Decided
by Him.


by Him.
Several important and interesting
questions were submitted TO the circuit
Judge at the recent session Of the court.
Judge Buck has filed written opinions
in several of them, Of which the follow.
ing is a summary:
In the matter of the petition Of Isaac
+. Barnum for an order setting aside
the decree for the sale of certain lands
for the unpaid taxes Of 1893, the prayer
OF the petitioner was denied. The
Judge says: "Ihe fact that the decree
was not signed at least ten days prior
To the time fixed for the sale" Is, in his
judgment, the only irregularity that
raised doubt of the validity of the
sale, and he does not think that injuri-
ously affects the property rights OF the
petitioner, and says such irregularity
is cured by a subsequent section Of the
statute.
In the case Of Francis Bacon VS.. Mary
A. POmeroy eL al. foreclosure case,
the defense claimed that $500 had been
paid TO George +. Brock, as agent of
the complainant. The payment of this
money TO Brock was undisputed, but
complainant denied that Breck was
his agent in the transaction. William
Klett, one of the defendants, had here
tOfOre made tender of the balance
due on the mortgage, alter deducting
the aforesaid payments made TO Breck.
The court finds that the testimony es-
tablished the authority of Breck To re-
ceive the money for the complainant;
that the tender made by Klett dis
charged the mortgage lien and author.
ICES IA personal decree against Klett Tor
the unpaid balance, execution 10 issue
for It's collection il not paid within
thirty days from date OF decree.
In the foreclosure case of Francis
Bacon VS.. Elizabeth Lowry ct al, two
defenses were interpOsed: LIST, that the
mortgage, which was drawn by George
T. Breck, was forgery. ID, that the
rights of James Lowry, n minor, were
not fOreclOsed in n prior proceeding at
tectiDg the title to the promises IN
question, the said minor having been
born while such proceeding was pend
ing in court The court holds that the
defense of forgery is not established,
the prepOnderance of testimony being
IN favor of the geDuineness of the note
anu III pIlRdPe. He StCOHu qucSIlon

length, but finds against the defense.
Among other things, the court saws:

A STATE PHOTOGRAPHY.
Librarian Henry Outlines Some of the
Work He is Doing.

State Librarian Henry has made semi
annual report to the State Library Board.
In the last six months the accessions to
the library included 523 volumes and 444
pamphlets, most of the space in the library
heretofore used for a reading room having
been converted into reference room for
real students and investigators. Says the
librarian: Il wish to state to the board, in
this connection, that the law provides, and
has always provided that the librarian is
to have charge of and preserve all legisla-
tive papers, and especially the bills intro
duced. The fact just discovered is that
there is not to be found legislative paper
of earlier date than 1863. save a few odd
numbers of 1861 and some minutes of the
Assembly from about 1912 to 1S47. Much as
it is regretted, the fact remains that unless
these papers are in charge of some depart
ment, for which the law makes no provt-
sion, they are not in existence. Further,
the law seems to have been almost uni
formly disregarded concerning the preser-
walton of certain state publications, such
as copies of the law for example l make
these statements now that all who are IN
terested may know the condition at this
time. that future discoveries may not mis-
place the censure, if such is just
The librarian already has begun to col
lect material for a photography of Indiana.
His idea is that it should embrace lists Of
all the state publications, all references to
the State so far as can be obtained; all
books written by citizens of the State, with
name of author and title and date of pub
zine articles written by citizens of the State
and all the magazines and newspapers of
the State, with the names of editors. Many
letters have been sent out on this line.
1t is proposed to make the library valu-
able to legislators and to prepare an index
of legislation in all other States.

A CITY EMPLOYE KILLED.
.. III. Hart Run Over by Cars at
SheIby-Street Crossing.

0. II. Hart a city employe, who lived at
(new) $40 Bates street, was killed last night
at the Big Four crossing on Shelby street.
There appears to have been but one witness
to the accident, and he could not be found
He told another man, however, that Hart
was caught at the crossing by a running
switch. The crossing was blocked when he
reached it, and he waited until the train
which was passing seemed to have gone by.
Then he started across and was caught by
the engine. The witness claimed that the
engine had pushed the cars ahead and was
following them on the same track Railroad
men say this would not be done in making
running switch, and they do not believe
that Hart met his death in this way An
otner man said that hart had tried to board
the tram.
The body was found shortly after cut
OF freight cars had passed the crossing. 1t
was lying on the east sidewalk OF SHELBY
street, the head, crushed beyond all sem
Dlance to that of a human being, lying
across the north rail ana the bouy on the

John $. Duncan Argued the Case Be-
fore the President and Attor-
ney General Yesterday.
CRITICISM IN COFFIN CASE
PROBABLY DEFERRED PARDON OF
THE EX-BANK PRESIDENT.
MIR. Duncan Has Not Given Up the
Fight - Haughcy Has IL
Year to Serve.

President Mckinley yesterday refused to
grant Theodore P. Haughey's application
for pardon, and the aged president of the
broken Indianapolis National Bank will
probably have to serve, out the remainder
of his term. He has been in prison three
years and four months, and will have about
year more to serve, good time" cutting
his six-year sentence down more than
year and half.
President Mckinley and Attorney General
McKenna went through the petition and pa
pers in the Haughey case very thoroughly
during the afternoon and also heard oral
argument from John S. Duncan, of Indian
apois, Mr.. Haugheys attorney Mr.. Dun
can made a strong plea in behalf of his
old friend and endeavored to convince the
eminent jury of two that it would only be
justice to release Mr.. Haughey after letting
Francis A. Coffin off with only one year
of his term. The case was a strong one
from nearly every point of view, and had
it not been for the storm of criticism
raised by the hurried pardon of Coffin, Mr.
Haughey's chances of clemency would
have been much better. With the
smart of the criticism consequent upon the
Coffin pardon still tingling, the President
and attorney general were in no mood to
invite further trouble.
Mr.. Duncan waited at the Department of
Justice for the return of the attorney gen.
eral until that gentlman came back from
the White House with the bad news. Judge
McKenna made only brief and
formal explanation of the action taken,
saying that the President had concluded to
LAY the matter over for the present"
That was a polite way of notifying Mr..
Duncan that the petition had been indefi-
nitely postponed" for that was what the
message meant. Arrangements had been
made at the department to order Mr..
Haughey's release by wire at once if the
decision had been the other way. Mr.. Dun
can left Washington for Indianapolis last
night a greatly disappointed man. for he
had really hopes of success. He declares
that he has not given up the fight, but will
not for one moment relinquish his efforts
to secure pardon. What the next move
nleDt would be he declined to state. Indeed,
it is probable he has not yet matured the
plans of his campaign.

DUNKARD PREACHERS SUICIDE
Jacob Fisher, of Miami County, Found
Hanging in Barn.

Jacob Fisher, fifty-four years old of Mex
leo. Miami county, committed suicide by
hanging himself to the rafters of H. c.
Longs new building at (new) 233 North
Delaware street. The body was found there
yesterday morning by the workmen en-
ployed in the erection of the building. It
was cut down and quickly identified by pa
pers in the pockets, and later by DR.. w B.
Fletcher. Fisher had been an inmate of Dr.
Fletchers sanatorium for about three
weeks He was being treated for a trouble
of tha heart and was in a fair way to re-
covery. 1t is said that he was at times
extremely melancholy, and it is the belief
of his physicians and friends that he COM
mitted the rash act during temporary lit
OF insanity
Fisher left the sanatorium at about $3.50
O'CLOCK Friday night TO take q walk. This
was his custom, and nothing unusual was
thought of it. Several times during his stay
here Fisher had gone to Brlghtwood, where
he had some friends living. When he failed
to return at a late hour last night the peo-
pie at the sanatorium began to look for
him. 1T was ascertained that he had not
gone to Brightwood, and then a telegram
was sent to Mexico on the supposition that
he may have taken the z O'clock train for
home. A message was received from his
daughter saying that he had not come home.
The body of Fisher was discovered twelve
hours after his disappearance 1t was hang
ing to the second-hoor rafters in the eX-
building is intended for a livery stable, and
feed bins are being constructed in this part,
extending about half as high as the story.
The man had climbed upon one of these
bins and had thrown rope over the rafters.
1t was doubled and a moose was carefully
made, allowing the rope to be of sufficient
length that the suicide might drop a dis
lance of about two feet. When cut down it
was discovered that the fall had broken
Fishers neck. The body was cold, and the
belief of the physicians and coroner is that
the man had been dead ten hours.
Fisher was a farmer and a Dunkard
preacher His daughter arrived in the city
last night and made arrangements for ship
ping the body to Mexico for burial.
