Mushroom Growers, Crime.

PARIS, Dec 10.-The mystery of the dis
appearance of a bank collector, named La
mare, week ago, has been explained by the
arrest and confession of a couple named
Carrara, engaged in the business of growing
mushrooms. Lamare, on Nov. so, called on
the Carraras to collect some money, when
the latter hit him on the head with piece
of iron, killed him and hid the body until
the evening, when he threw it into the fur
mace used for preparing mushrooms. La
mare had $4,000 francs on his person at the
time he was killed.

Little Show for Wolf Lake Harbor.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Dec. misrepresentation
Crumpacker does not speak hopefully of
the prospects for legislation this year look
ing to the conversion of Wolf lake into a
deep water inland harbor and the dredging
of suitable channel TO Lake Michigan
though he is satisfied the Improvement is
certain to be made within the next few
years. He perceives a sentiment in Con-
gress hostile to the appropriation of money
for new improvements while revenues are
running low. The government is now tied
up in river and harbor contracts calling for
100000 eco which have three years to run,
and the disposition is to postpone other
schemes until after that time.

Attempt to Bar out American OIL.

BERLIN, Dec. 1O.-The Reichstag to-day
discussed the Interpolation of the govern
ment of yesterday, regarding its plans for
thwarting the Standard Oil Company from
,monopolizing the German market. Herr
NBarth, the Freissinige leader, pointed cut
that any measures to strengthen competition
against the Standard Oil Company would
make petroleum dearer. Baron Won Heyl-
zuhrenshim urged vigorous action against
American Prescriptions in the economic
field The minister of the interior, Count
Posadowsky, promised a special freight
tariff shortly for Russian petroleum and an
arrangement by which the import duty
would be determined by weight The matter
was then dropped.

The German budget.

BERLIN. Dec. 1O-The secretary of the
treasury, Baron Won Thielmann, in present.
ing the budget to-day said the surplus for
1887 would be 2O,0OO,OOO marks, while the
customs and tobacco tax would probably be
20 COG, 900 marks over the estimates of which
32,000000 marks were assigned for debt re-
Gemption. Continuing, Baron Thielmann
said the negotiations for the abolition of the
sugar bounties were at a standstill, but the
United States tariff would, perhaps have a
reviving influence. The home consumption
of sugar the secretary also said had in
creased, but Germany would always have
to depend on her export trade.

FAIR NOTES..

There will be an educational
day on the Fair program not ye'
out. Competent educators will
be appointed and a lively and in
teresting day awaits us. A com
petitive singing class, confined
to the rural districts, will be one
of the new features of the com
ing Fair. There is plenty Of
talent and numbers of classes
among our country friends. Is
there a man whose soul is SO
dead that the sweet strains OF
music does not touch his soul
and it's inspiration drive away
dull care and Undue it with bills
full thoughts. Prepare for this
day and let the melodies of the
human voice reverberate among
the multitude, and let the in
spiling anthems ring out and
create a most refreshing season.
There are other features of the
day that will be given out i'll
due time, among them competi,
tive penmanship, 10 to IA years
girls, and same among boys also
ii to IS misses and youths. A
letter recently received from DR..
Kilgo, i'll answer to All invita>
ton, says that he will surely be
among the speakers that will de-
liver addresses at the fair on
that day.
All along the North Carolina
coast, from Hatteras to Whales
Head, are ;nnumerable aquatic
curiosities from the depths of
old ocean. They are only a
portion of the hidden treasures
from the broad Atlantic. We
cordially ask our fearless patrol
men to secure them and send to
the Secretary of the Albemarle
Park Fair next October, and he
will give them a position in OUT
exhibition hall worthy Of their
merit. Each station could
make quite a collection, and
when placed together would give
a large exhibit and would great
ly interest those who have neve,
visited that portion of your
county by the sea. We make
this special offer. If any one
will send individually or collect,
lively, specimens of salt water
fish about week before the
Fair we will have them frozen
