A Driving Accident.

A correspondent at Denning's writes =
While en-route to the home of her parents a
few days ago, the horse attached to the car
riage of Mrs. Walter Engel, while descend
ing the hill at Mr.. Charles Nicodemus', STUN
bled and fell turning a complete somersault
in the shafts and landing with her head under
the buggy. Mrs Engel was thrown with
great violence on top of the horse, spraining
her thumb and iniuring her hip considerably.
By the timely arrival of Mr.. Ncodemus
quite an accident was averted, as there was Il
little girl still in the vehicle. The struggles
of the horse in trying to extricate itself would
have torn the buggy to pieces. BY the judi
cious efforts of Mr. Nicodemus and others
the horse was relieved from its uncomfortable
position. A shaft was broken and the bar
ness was considerably damaged.

The old and-a half story log house
in the west end of this place was RACED
to the ground during the present week. This
old land mark marked the extreme western
limit of this village until quite recently, when
several new houses were erected west of it.
The date of its erection has not been ascer-
tanned, but il is quite probable that it was
built in the last century. 1t stood on what
was formerly known as the Erb farm. Its
present owner is Paul Reinecker.

THE PARIS EXPOSITION.
President Mckinley Urges Liberal
Appropriation by Congress.

WASHINGTON, Dec. I. - The President
to-day submitted to Congress the report
of Major Moses p. Handy, of Chicago, spe-
cial commissioner to the Paris International
Exposition, giving the details of his mission.
In his letter of transmittal the President
says the report gives a clear and compre-
hensive presentation OF the situation. The
commissioner recommends that an appro-
priation of 1919 900 be granted, so that a
credtable display on the part of the United
States may be made. The President, in
transmitting the report, says: Besides Sc
curing q much larger amount of space than
had been reserved, Major Handy obtained
the gratifying assurance that the United
States will be placed on a footing with the
most favored nations. and that in the install
United States will have location common
surate with the dignity and importance of
the country and adjoining in every case
countries of the first rank. In view of the
magnitude and Importance of the approach
ing expedition and of our standing among
the nations that will be there represent
ed, and in view, also, of our in
creased population and acknowledged prog
Iess in arts, sciences and manufacture,
earnestly commend the report of Major
Handy to your consideration, and trust that
a liberal appropriation may be made. More

republic at Chicago in 1898. on which $1,000
900 were expended, should be a strong in
centive to reciprocal liberality on the part

PRISON BOARD OF PAROLE.
First Meeting of the Board for the
Northern Prison.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, Dec. 1.-THE
Board of Parole, composed of the Board of
Control-E./ H. Nebeker, Gen. r. S. Foster
and H. Van Voorst-together with Warden
Harley Dr. A. l.. Spinning and Chaplain
+. ]. Albright, held its first meeting to-day.
Thirty-three applications for parole were
filed and the board devoted the entire day
listening to the convicts stories. The board
intends to pursue conservative course and
endeavor to parole those that are worthy
and give promise of reformation, as appears
from their conduct before and after enter
ing prison. But two paroles have been
granted at this meeting. Samuel Clemson,
of Carroll county, who was sentenced in
1891 for ten years for incest; in this case
the court erred in that the maximum term
under the law at the time of sentence was
but five years. The prisoner has now served
six years The other was Charles Hunter,
serving nine years for grand larceny and
is now in the hospital with consumption.
Other applicants, in the estimation OF the
board, are worthy, but the board deferred
action until investigation could be made of
the reliability Of the people wishing to give
the prisoners employment while on parole.
The board had with them Major McLaugh-
~, warden of the Joliet Prison. and re-
ceived from him valuable advice as to the

WASHINGTON, Dec. THE Interstate
commerce Commission has decided to ex-
tend for two years the period within which
railroads must comply with the act of Con-
gress requiring all railroads to be equipped
with safety appliances for the protection of
the employees and passengers.
The commission this afternoon authorized

ment of facts and reasons constituting
causes for such extension have not yet been
prepared it is understood that the extern
sion will not be conditional and that the.
commission has under consideration The
question of requiring quarterly or other
periodical reports of progress by each car
rier during the two-year period"
Last week the commission gave several
hearings to railroad men and labor leaders

General Henderson. OF, Iowa. has come
back to Washington for the session of Con-
gIeSS rejuvenaIed-almost like a new man
built on the lines of his youth. Having
had his leg amputated again, he seems
quite refreshed. Some sort of very SUBJ
Stantial material is used in the conStruc-
ton of such men. His leg has been under
putatlon during the war. The first amputa-
ticn was little above the foot. The last
was above the knee. General Henderson is
now chairman of the House judiciary COM
mittee. Formerly he was one of the most
active members of the appropriations
committee. Everybody in Congress calls
him Dave" Henderson. Everybody likes
him because he is so amlable and jolly Most
members fear him as an antagonist in de-
bate, because he is such an unconscionable
fighter. In twenty years there have been
lung power equal to him, and there is an en-
ergy and eloquence about his address which
is apt to drive an antagonist off his bear
ings. Most men get more or less ill-natured
when they Suner greatly, but with hlm 1t is
almost the reverse-if possible, he is better
nauured under pain. 1t is a most remark
able thing the Way he and that piece of leg
of his have contended tor mastery. In the
nrSt place, the bones of his ankle were shiv-
cred by shot. HE was young and thought
he could stand it If the loot could, and he
held out against amputatlon for several
months. During the seven times his leg has
been under the knife since then he has
taken gas but twice. He is a most energetic
worker-one of the most active men in Con-
greSs. During the last session of the FIFTY
fourth Congress he was great sufferer, as
he has been at Intervals before as premo-
milton of another amputation. 1t pulled
something OIL his tiesn, out never contracted
or mouilled the amlability of the smile with
which he met all classes of people. When
he saw that the leg was getting the best
of him he decided to have another piece
taken off. This was the most serious opera
ton he had been compelled to endure, as it
had to come Off above the knee. He neg
lected his correspondence for just nine days
on account of the operation. -Four days be-
fore the operation was performed the doctor
ordered HIM TO Atlantic City to take a COM
plete rest, that he could determine
whether the amputation would be neces-
Sary. During that time he did no work
Again, when the operation was performed
he had to give his stenographer a holiday,
but on the fourth day he was debating let
tiers. The second day after the amputation
he was playing whist.

LYNCHING IN NEVADA.
Murderer Taken from Jail, Stripped
of Clothes, Hanged and Shot.

CARSON, New, Dec. lone of the most
horrible lynchings ever known in Nevada
occurred at Genoa, fourteen miles from
here, at o'clock this morning. Adam Uber
who last week shot and killed Hans An
derson in Millerville saloon, was hanged
by mob of masked men to a cottonwood
tree half mile distant from the jail When
taken from his cell the victim had nothing
on but shirt. This was torn off by the
lynchers and the nude body left dangling
in the air for six hours. AS the body was
being pulled up the mob riddled it with
bullets. When satisfied that the man was
dead the vigilantes disappeared and re-
turned to their homes.
The sheriff and constable were forced to
accompany the mob, and still under
strong guard watched the execution.
The prisoner was in a fair way of receiv-
ing trial and punishment for the crime he
committed. The preliminary examination
was held last week and the grand jury had
found an indictment. A number of Witness
eS would have been brought forward to
prove that Uber had been assaulted by An
derson before the shooting. Uber has it is
said, millionaire uncle, Henry Robson,
in Pttsburg, Pa, and it is thought that
the perpetrators of last nights affair may
be brought to justice.
