DR.. HuNIER INDICTED.
Gran" Jury Returns "a True Bili Against
the Senatorial Candidate.

LoIusville, Ky. April ia special to
The Evening Post from Frankfort says:
The Franklin county grand jury has
returned true bills against DR., w. God
frey Hunter, the Republican candidate
for the United States senate; Ex-Con-
gresham John Henry Wilson of the
Eleventh district; Hon. Il. 7. Franks of
the Second district; Captain Noel Gaines
and his brother-in-l Thomas Tanner,
of Frankfort. These named have been
indicted for conspiracy to bribe All
are Republicans with the exception of
Gaines and Tanner.
The indictments were all included In
one bill and We're filed in court at
1920 o'clock. The news at once became
public and created the greatest indig-
nation among the Republicans, all OF
whom denounced 1t as a conspiracy
among Frankfort Democrats to defeat
and humiliate Hunter. They claimed
that the indictments against Gaines
and Tanner, the Democrats, were re-
turned simply as savers to prevent
the public generally from gaining the
impression that the grand jury had
been made an engine of political perse-
cution, and that they would be dis
missed at the first hearing on account
of insufficient evidence.
Chairman Jones of the Republican
| caucus said that it was "diabolica
| and hellish conspiracy" and that the
Republicans would disprove and resent
| it I'm proper spirit. State Senator De-
Doe was of the same opinion, and no
one of the Republican leaders hesitat
ed to condemn the action of the granC
Jury as partisan and prejudiced.

RETRAcrloN FROM DANA.
Editor Apologies for Attack ON the Asso-
ciated Press.


New York. April 19.-The New York
Sun contains the following editorial
statement.
ION Feb 22, 1895, The Sun published
an editorial article entitled "The Work
of Rascals," i'm which certain severe
structures were made upon Mr.. Frank
b. Noyes Of the Washington Star. We
desire to correct our statement in ref
erence to Mr. Noyes and to withdraw
any remarks rejecting either upon his
personal or business integrity. The ar
ticle vas written under a misapprehen-
sion as to the facts in the case and we
regret its publication in The Sun as do
ing grave injustice to a gentleman
whose character is above reproach.
The foregoing published apology and
retraction follows the publication of an
editorial in The Sun two years ago, in
tended as a serious reflection on the AS
sociated Press and its management
The gist Of the article was that the
Associated Press would inevitable fail
| in its purpose as news organization
| owing to the supposed disclosures thus
made. The statements and predictions
| therein made have since been entlrely
disproved by the ineXorable law or time,
as in the meantime the principles OF
| that news organization have triumphed
and have received the approval of near
| ly every daily newspaper i'm the United
| States.
In The Sun editorial Mr.. Frank Il.
Noyes, one of the owners Of the Wash
ington Star and director of the Asso-
ciated Press, was singled out for per-
sonal attack without any apparent
motive other than malice. 1t was al
least so held by the grand jury of the
District of Columbia, whichreturned in
dictments for criminal libel against Mr.
Charles A. Dana and Mr.. William Nj
Laffan, who were charged with orig
mating and publishing the libel

sTARkwEATHeR FACING TROUBLE.
New Mayor May BE Unable to Redeem His
Promises.

Superior, Wis, April 19.-Mayor- Elect
Charles S. Starkweather of this city Is
having a vast amount of trouble in the
matter of appointments. The common
council has just created the office OF
commissioner of taxes at salary OF
81 500. Mayor Pattison, II is understood
will appoint to that position Champ
Green. the present city attorney.
Green was appointed alderman py
Mayor Starkweather TO fill vacancy
two years ago, but subsequently he as
sisted in bringing the charges which led
TO the Impeachment of the latter. 1t is
generally understood that the new once
was created especially for City Attor-
ney Green as blow to Rev. Mr.. stark
weather. The new police and flre civil
| bill. which passed both houses OF the
legislature, enables the mayor practic-
ally to name all the employees In the
police and the fire departments, thus
leaving Mayor StarlSweather helpless
in redeeming his election pledges.

Though the great majority of the ed4-
BILE snails produced in France are Of
natural growth, their artificial culture
is carried on to a very considerable
extent. They are propagated from
August to October in ground especial

with cabbage. clover. etc. During the
winter they are sheltered in houses
composed of brick and wood. and they
are gathered and marketed from April
to June. In the Tyrol from June to
the middle of August the snails are
collected from every available damp
place and taken to the feeding-ground
near the owners dwelling. This is a
bit of garden ground, free from trees
and shrubs. and surrounded on all
sides by running water In this feed

they are fed on cabbage leaves and

successfully accomplished they are
collected packed in perforated boxes
lined with straw and sent off to Paris

Marseilles enjoys a great reputation
for special preparations of escargots.

the cost of preparing them for the

producing them.

cur of Naturally Formed Glass.


A cliff of naturally-formed glass is
one of the many wonders to be seen
in Yellowstone Park. This cliff. says
Professor Iddings, is an elevation half
a mile long by from $50 feet to 200
feet high, the material of which it
contains being as good glass as any
artificially manufactured. It's colors
and structure are not only interesting
to every visitor, but furnish TO the
scientific investigator phenomena of
Importance. The cliff presents part of
a section Of a surface flow of obsi-
dian, which poured down an ancient
slope from the plateau lying east. 1t
is impossible to determine what the
original thickness of this flow was.
The dense glass which now forms its
lower portion is from Is feet to 100
feet thick, while the upper portion has
suffered from ages of erosion and gla-
cial action. A remarkable feature OF
the cliff is the development of pris-
matte columns, which form it's south
ern extremity. These are of shining
black obsidlan, and are from so feet
to 60 feet in height, with diameters
varying from 2 feet to 4 feet. The
color of the cliff is mostly black. but
much of it is notified and streaked
with bright brownish red and various
shades OF brown and olive green.
