HIS CONDUCT EARNED 1T.
A Parole Granted to Blal<e ID. Black
wood, of Prison North.

The Governor yesterday issued a parole
to Blake E. Blackwood, who is now con-
fined in the state prison at Michigan City
He was convicted in the Starke Circuit
Court in May, 1896, on plea OF guilty to an
indictment for forgery. He is related to
prominent and influential family in Chicago,
and, with the exception Of this lapse, has
always been regarded as an upright man.
After committing the forgery Blackwood
went to the far West. but his conscience
troubled him and he voluntarily returned,
gave himself up to the authorities and
pleaded guilty to the charge. Since his
confinement in the state prison he has
proved himself model prisoner, and for
the greater part of the time has held a
position as bookl1eeper and confidential
office man for one of the firms of con-
tractors operating at that institution. He
is well liked by his employers, who assured
the Governor that they are anxious to have
him transferred to one of their outside fac
tories to occupy a similar position In or
der that this might be done 1t was neces-
sary to have a parole issued, and this the
Governor did with the usual conditions at
fapha1

ON CULTIVATED GROUND.
A Test of Farming Machinery at the
State Fair.

Superintendent Downing, Of the privilege
department of the state fair, says he has
never before known such a general request
for space from people desiring to put up
shows and entertainments and secure
space for all sorts of devices. The COM
mittee will exercise exceeding care and it
will be the endeavor to prevent the owners
of fake shows from getting on the grounds.
1t is the desire to protect visitors to the
fair in every way possible and to see that
they get the full worth of any money
spent on the grounds.
For the first time in four years there will
be an exhibit OF reapers and mowers, and
the general mechanical exhibits will sur
pass anything that this department has
ever before known. Superintendent Stew
ems Will have practical contests TO decide
the merits of certain machinery A patch
of ground in the southeastern portion of
the Enclosure has been placed under Gull
tivation for this purpose.

PRISON LABOR PROBLEM
DIRECTORS HOLD A CONFERENCE
WITH THE GOVERNOR OVER 1T.
Dangers of Idleness Becomes Threat
enfng-COntrac for New Heating
and VentiIating Apparatus.

The state prison directors met at the
Denison House yesterday morning and let
the contract for the new heating and ven
tilating apparatus for the prison to AM
brose Moore, who bid on the Sturtevant
system, one of the best in the country.
The board had half a dozen bids, all OF
which ranged from $3.50 TO $1,000 above
the appropriation of $1,000. The board de-
clared that it had but $4,000 to do the work
with, and if any of the bidders with a sys-
tenn that could be approved and salts
factory bond could come within the limit,
the board was ready to contract. Moore
met the requirements and rot the contract.
The more important work of the board,
however, was a long conference that was
held with the Governor regarding the en-
ployrnent of prisoners. OF the 800 men in
the prison there are about $50 emplo-'ed
on contracts that have year or more yet
to run. About 100 are cripples and hospital
patients. The others are employed on the
improvements now going on but this is,
of course, only temporary. The contrac-
tors have taken advantage of the reforma-
tory law to serve notices, so they are in
a position to throw up their contracts at
any time that they can make favorable
terms with prison authorities elsewhere.
AS winter approaches the question of keep
ing the men employed has become a Sc
riouS one and various plans are under con-
sideration. The contract labor law per-
mits them to manufacture supplies for
other state institutions but it has some
drawbacks. 1t provided no means for pur-
chasing raw materials to manufacture, and
by its terms if the directors should bor-
row money for this purpose. they could not
use the proceeds of the sale of manufac-
tured goods for the purchase of more ma
terial, but would have to turn the money
into the treasury and borrow more. Fur
thermore it would take but two or three
days to manufacture all the shoes the
other institutions could use in a year and
two or three days more TO supply them
with chairs. The industries of the prison
would have TO be extremely diversified
Warden Harley has been figuring upon a
plan to lease ], 900 acres OF swamp land and
drain it for farming, but one of the direc-
tors raises the point that they could not
be worked on the land during the winter
months All these things We're laid before
the Governor yesterday and were earnestly
considered, but as yet nobody has found a
practical solution of the difficulty.
Will the prison be Self-sustaining as US
ual this yaar? was asked one OF the direc-
tors last evening.
"Self-sustaining?" he echoed. ''Well,
should think not when the law says we
shall not earn any money. With this law
on the books the prisoners will hardly earn
their salt"

A FALL CREEK MYSTERY
A DAYTON, o., MANS DECOMPOSED
BODY FOUND ON A BANK.
In His Pocket Was $3.50 in BiIIs-A
Revolver Found by
His Side.

Some teamsters hauling gravel from Fall
creek yesterday morning found the body
of a man lying on the bank, about five
hundred yards west of the Northwestern
avenue bridge The body was so badly de-
composed that it was impossible for them
to tell whether it was that of white or
a colored man. The coroner and the police
were notified A new 32-calibre revolver
was found lying on the ground by the
side of the body, and the case bore evil
dences Of a suicide at first, but there is
doubt of this in the mind of the coroner.
The body was highly septic and extreme
ly dangerous to handle, as the least por-
ton of the fluid from the body entering
an abrasion of the skin of human would
probably cause a serious, If not fatal,
poisoning. DR.. Brayton had the body re-
moved TO Tutewilers morgue, placed in
copper bathtub and submerged in a solu-
lion OF twenty gallons of water and one
gallon of 40 per cent. formaldehyde. The
trunk of the body was opened so as to give
the fluid access to all the organs BY this
morning the treatment the body is receiv-
ing will render it harmless and it can then
be properly examined and an autopsy car
be made.
An examination OF the clothing, which
finding of $3.50 and deed to a lot in Oak
ley, a suburb of Dayton, o. 1t was
made to Frederick Sem and this is be-
lieved to be the name of the dead man.
The money was found in a trousers pocket
rolled up in piece of newspaper. There
were three 800 bills, three $50 bills and
other bills of smaller denomination. The
wad of paper looked as if it might contain
tobacco and the searchers were surprised
when they discovered so much money. In
the pockets was also found a silver watch.
DIR. Brayton thinks the body may have
laid on the ground three or four days.
The orifces of the body were sWarming
