New York, March 10.-A special to

Prince Bismarck's organ severely
condemns that participation of Ger
many in the Cretan question. 1t says:
1T is not correct policy to risk the
sound bones even of a single German

are not ours, or from alleged Chris

as England seeks to cloak her efforts

CICERO, ILd., Oct. 1.-THE gas company,
which has grown fat here, carried out its
threat yesterday and shut off the gas from
over forty consumers. In 1887 the Cicero
Natural Gas and Oil Company was organ
lied by citizens and paid-up capital stock
of $500 secured. With this amount invested
the company sunk wells laid mains and
bought leases until the plant is now es-
timated to be worth over 100000 all made
from the earnings of this 49, Go. The shares
were SIS and were held at the start by
about one hundred stockholders. Latterly
the stock was bought up and is now in the
hands of less than ten men, and shares
that cost $25 cannot now be bought for $50
The company, not satisfied with these hand
some earnings, this year increased the price
of gas to consumers and insisted on a con-
tract of such an Objectionable nature that
many consumers revolted; hence yesterday s
action. Many suits for damages are threat
ened and a rival company will be organ
lied While the action of this company may
injure the town temporarily, it is believed
that cheaper gas rates will certainly come
from the competition.

SEEKING ANNEXATION.
Prominent Cuban Business Men Want
Uncle Sam,s Projections


MATANZAS, Cuba, Oct. 1S-The business
element here, in Havana and elsewhere
seem to have arrived at the conclusion that
tae Madrid government cannot end the war
on the basis of autonomy to Cuba, as there
are not enough loyalists among the autono-
mists to hold public office. At least that is
the claim the conservative Spaniards make.
In addition, the latter express the belief
that the autOnomists, even if they were
placed in power, would not be able to pre-
serve peace and protect life and property
from the lawless elements. In view of this
condition of affairs a number of important
merchants and sugar planters of Spanish
origin, in conjunction with several Cubans
of prominence, have been holding secret
meetings and corresponding with people in
various parts of the island with the object
of ascertaining the views OF the commercial
and planting community in Pinar del Rio,
Havana, MatanZas and Santa Clara prov
inces as to the future Cor Cuba. 1t is ex-
pected that the majority of the replies will
be favorable to annexation of Cuba to the
United States, the Washington govern
ment alone, apparently, is able to guarantee
peace in Cuba and the protection of life
and property. AS soon as it is ascertained
that this element of persons appealed to are
in favor of annexation committee will be
sent to the United States with instructions
to lay the case of Cuba clearly before bust
ness men of prominence in the United
States and ask the latter to unite with the
business men of Cuba in a petition to the
Washington government asking the United
States, in view of the failure OF the con-
force of arms, and pointing out the lmpoS-
sibility of the Liberals ending the. war by
establishing an autonomous form or govern
ment, to bring about annexation OF CUBA
to the United States.

FOresters lodge here, and Myers took out
$1,000 life insurance policy, making Cox
the beneficiary Shortly after receiving this
policy Cox and Myers opened up in the
fish business ct Gem, Hancock county. In
a few days Cox sent out the report that
Myers had died of malignant diphtheria.
and in order to prevent it spreading Cox
alone prepared the body for interment. 1t
was taken overland to Clifford Bartholo-
mey county, and buried. the coffin never
having been opened The Foresters grew
suspicious, and in order to see whether
Myers had really been buried had the
grave opened The coffin was found empty
except for some heavy chain links. The ex-
element following this discovery aroused
the Foresters throughout the State. Lis
penard turned detective in order to investi-
gate the affair. They pressed Cox so close
ly that he never applied for the insurance.
and In few months died. Myers was
found to be alive, having attended Cox s
funeral at Marietta, o. After this Lispen-
ard took UP the murder case of Moses
Latta, of FincenneS, and, getting on the
trail of the murderer, followed him to Cairo
and then pursued him down the Mississippi
river IN an open skiff. Lispenard was never
again seen alive, and no tidings have ever
come OF him. although detectives and
Foresters throughout the country have
been constantly searching for him. The
conclusion has been reached that the muir
derer of young Latta drowned Lispenard
in the Mississippi and then fed to foreign
shores. Mrs. Lispenard and friends have
given up AL hope, and the long search has
been abandoned.

had never heard of him or the few verses
he had written. Wise as he was he did
not know that the little dandified curled

Ten years later Moore's Irish melodies be-

with his dying hand he traced a quotation
from Moore in a letter to his daughter. But
the poet never apologized.
In Philadelphia Moore met an American
family-evidently Angiomaniacs of those

that Rank alone could save the country

Mrs. Hardin GlOats Over the Awful
Results of Her Crime

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
JEFFERSONVILLE,I Ind, Oct 1S-At
o'clock last night Miss Mary Rosenbaum
died from the effects of the wound received
at the hands of Mrs. Lizzie Harding on
Thursday night, and a few minutes later
Mrs. Mary Rosenbaum, her mother died
from nervous prostration and grief over her
daughters untimely end. A second daugh-
ter, Theresa, is thought to be dying from
the effects of nervous prostration over the
double calamity that has befallen the fam
lily. John Rosenbaum, the son, who was the
admirer of Mrs. Harding, the murderess,
has to be watched to prevent his commit
ting suicide. 1t is feared he will lose his
mind. He has been brooding over the
tragedy constantly and refuses to allow any
one to approach him.
Such is the deadly work done by nlerci-

victim of her aim fell in her mothers arms,
and when the news was carried to her at
the Jail that both of them were dying. one

Rosenbaum then said: Come here; I want

Mrs. Harding at once raised a revolver

Rosenbaum in the stomach. A dangerous
operation was performed, but the doctors
could not save her life. The young woman
died after suffering the most in
tense agony ever since she was shot.
The second daughter, who is dying is the
wife of Henry WISHING, a timer, and has
three small children. Since the shooting she
has been violent. and it has required the eff

BRAZIL, Ind. Oct. 1s.-The prospect of
more trouble among the miners here is a
source of great uneasiness. Some of the
operators are opposed to granting the Accent
advance while others would give the raise
in preference to closing down their mines.
A prominent operator said to-day: at is
useless to sign contracts, as the miners will
not abide by their agreement Should the
men come out again for an advance it would
be twice they have broken the contract
this year. / am in favor Of closing down
my mines during the winter, and 1 believe
there are several other operators of the
same opinion
1.-THE leading miners appear determined
to have the advance, claiming that they are
entitled to an increase in wages since the
sharp advance in coal. They also say that
when the higher cost of living is taken into
consideration they are not any better off
now than they were when they were work.

grievance besides that of wages. One hum
dred men have been brought from Illinois
by the Mcintosh Coal Company to work
in their mines, and the local miners are
opposed to them working or being allowed
to go in the mines unless they can produce
cards showing they belong to the miners
union.

RUSHVILLE, Ind, Oct. 1S.-Intense ex-
element prevails here tonight and there
is a hunt in progress for an unknown negro
who made an assault on Mrs. Harry Banta
at o'clock Mrs. Banta is employed as a
dressmaker and was on her way home this
evening, when at the alley near J. B.
Reeves house, on Main street, a negro
whom she had noticed following her sprang
forward and took hold of her. She
screamed, but he choked her and dragged
her into the alley. Her screams were heard
and several men rushed to the
spot. The negro dropped his
victim and escaped up the alley. Mrs.
Banta was carried to neighbours where
her injuries were attended to. Her neck
was bruised, plainly showing finger prints.
News of the assault spread rapidly and
in short time the city bioodhounds, fol-
lowed by a crowd of determined men, were
on the trail. They worked through the
streets and alleys for two hours and then
the trail led to the lowlands of Flatrock, on
the east side of town. Once Deputy Mar
shall Pea, who owns the dogs, claims he
was in sight of the man, and was preparing
to shoot when he stumbled and fell From
the description given by Mrs. Banta
the negro is a light-colored muatto about
medium height. inclined to be fieshy, and
wears stiff hat She says she can readily
identify him if found. At midnight the
hunt was still in progress. Some believe
the negro is a stranger, while the authori-
ties suspect a Rushville man.
Mr. and Mrs. Banta are both about twen-
ty-five years old. The husband is en-
ployed at the Rushville furniture factory
and tonight was on his way down town to
meet his wife when he heard of the as
sault. Threats of lynching are heard on
the street tonight if the negro be cap
tured.

From City to Farm.

correspondence Country Gentiendn.
81, many city people mistake needed rest
in the country for a home there that after
the novelty has worn off they are sadly
disappointed. 1t is no easy matter to per-
many will testify. There certain re-
qairements, however, after one has per-
fected a change, if success is aimed at.
Poultry farms have disappointed more
city people than a few. In the first place,
a poultry farm implies few acres, five or
ten, devoted to that industry, and where one
man succeeds in supporting family IN the
country on so few acres, nine fail. To my
mind, practical farmer to make his vo2a-
ton source of pride and profit wants no
less than seventy-tive to one hundred acres
of a good naturally strong soil, say clay
loan, or gravelly soil with clay subsoil.
Then make poultry, fruit, ETC., incidental
adjuncts OF a general farm rotation. Close
proximity to a good market, and good near
by shipping facilities, are worth one-half
moro than the general average of farm
lands That is to say, 1t is more profitable
to pay $50 to $75 per acre Tor Such land
than $40 or $50 per acre for land eight or
ten miles distant from such markets, other
conditions being equal. me flrst cost OF To-
expense of teaming long distances, and the
thousand and one discomforts all of ones

the choice in the beginning Will never re-
gret 1t.
son river valley affords the conditions he
seeks. The New York Central Railway and
the river boats especially provide excep-
tional facilities for quick transportation.
Fruit likewise finds its home here, and I
think the class of people and farmers along
it's course will compare favorably in pros
perity with any other location.
Especially would l avoid rundown
farm. A bitter experience has taught me
that; likewise a close observation. Life is
too short to attempt it. Generally speaking,
rundown farms, like poultry farms are so
associated with sentiment that practical
man soon finds his mistake. i know Of no
task that holds out the enging tempta-
ton to conquer it equal to To- down farm;
but friends who have not tried 1t had better
let it rest with sentiment where 1t begun.
The best is none too good, and II circum-
stances permit one a choice, better prefer
the simple to the difficult.
Next to soil and location comes the man
himself. The first two are quite necessary,
like good tools but oftentimes. not gener-
ally, good farmer. with other conditions

verse conditions. Tt depends on the man
most Of all. Yet Notwithstanding the con-
cluslon. think in my experience that soil
and location are as necessary conditions as
the man.
