SPRING FEVER ABROAD
INDIANAPOLIS MAXIMUM TEMPERA-
TURE YESTERDAY 81 DEGREES.
Weather Almost Unprecedented for
This Season and Latitude-A
Cold Wave Coming.

The unusual warm spell which has pre-
vailed for the last week will be broken to-
day, according to the official indications,
which predict a fall in the thermometer
below the freezing point. For week or
more the weather has been as mild as
spring breeZes except at times when it
rained The thermometer has rarely fallen
below the freezing point, and yesterday it
reached the remarkable height of sixty
seven degrees, thing almost unprecedented
at this season in this latitude.
In Indianapolis during the last few years
the coolest weather of the year has been
about this time in January. Three years
ago, when the Denison House fire occurred,
the thermometer was at the lowest point it
reached during the winter, the cold spell
beginning about the 10th of the month. Two
years ago another cold spell prevailed, COM
mencing early in January and continuing
for several weeks, and last year the weather
was severe during the entire month of jan
uary, reaching the height of it's severity
commencing with Jan. % and continuing
into February.
A remarkable fact in connection with the
warm weather here is that it is general
throughout the United States, with the ex-
ception of the extreme northwestern por-
ton, where blizzard can always be relied
on to make it's appearance when least ex-
pected, and where the cold GENERALLY con-
tinues from November to April regardless
of the temperature elsewhere
The heavy rains following the late SHOWS
are also somewhat unusual and might have
proved a source of great damage had the
snowfall been greater. The rain area in
cuded all the Ohio valley excepting ILL
nois and this territory had all been COW
cred with snow before The melting snow
and the downpour of rain has kept the
streams flooded for several days and caused
a remarkably rapid rise in the Ohio river.
Luckily the other tributaries to the Missis-
sippi did not have the same experience, or
the floods of last spring on the lower Misss-
sippi might have been repeated. The Ohio
has done and is still doing her full share
toward that end, but with only this one
large stream swollen the Mississippi has
not become threatening.
Throughout the Southern States the
weather is exceedingly unseasouable-so
warm in fact, that there is danger of ILL
ness on account Of it. The Weather Bureau
last night predicted a cold wave, however,
for the Ohio valley. 1t began to show itself
early last evening, and by tonight will
probably be here to its full extent. Severe
weather is not promised, but a change from
the exceedingly warm weather which has
prevailed is expected.

ASSIGNEE REFUSED THE BOOKS.
Slight Conflict with Receiver
Krag-ReynOIds Case.


There was complaint made to the Circuit
Court yesterday of slight friction be-
tween the receiver ard the assignee or the
Krag-Reynolds Wholesale Grocery Com
pany. The receiver is an officer OF the SUI
perior Court. while the assignee represents
the Circuit Court. Judges Allen and Har-
vey had a conference about the matter
yesterday morning.
1t is among the duties of the assignee to
examine the books and accounts Of the in
solvent company and go over the inventory
of the stock after the receiver has COM
plete6 his work. Tuesday Assignee Reagan
made a formal demand for the books of the
company which are now in the hands or
the receiver, d. w. Coffin. The latter de-
clined to permit the assignee access to the
books Yesterday. after the matter was re-
ported to the Circuit Court, both officers
talked over the situation. Receiver Coffin
stated his Digestion to the assignee haV-
ing the books at this time. The receiver
has a number of men at work in the office
of the Krag- Reynolds Company going over
the books and accounts. The receiver con-
tended that If the assignee should begin
work on the books now he would necessa-
rily disturb the work that has already
been commenced. 1t was agreed between
the officials that the assignee is to take
charge of the books as soon as the receiver
is done with them.
It is understood the New York banks
who are creditors of the Krag-Reynolds
Company have asked permission TO send an
expert accountant here to examine the
books of the firm in the interests or the
heavy Eastern creditors.

SENTENCE OF KOERNER
THE HORsETHIEF TO SERVE UNDER
THE INDETERMINATE LAW.
An Agreement Made with the state
Conflict over the Krag-Rey-
nolds Books.

John C. Koerner, who was charged with
the systematic theft of numerous horses
and buggies which he sent to Ohio for sale,
was arraigned in the Criminal Court yes
terday and sentenced to the State Prison
under the indeterminate sentence law which
will require him to serve from one to four
teen years. Koerner is ffty-six years OF
age.
Although there are six indictments against
Koerner, it is claimed there are eight addl-
tional charges of theft against the man
which the grand jury did not investigate.
An agreement had been made with the state
that if Koerner would take a sentence of
from one to fourteen years in one case, the
state would not press the other charges
against him. However, the other indict-
ments were not nollied. Before Koarner had
been sentenced, petition was read by his
attorney signed by George A Booking
and others who claim to have lost property
through Koerner's operations, asking tnat
the court be lenient with him. The petit
TONERS expressed the view that the prisoner
must have been mentally weak when he
committed the thefts. Deputy Prosecutor
Afford asserted that he had had no knowl-
edge of this petition, and he requested the
court to give it little consideration The re-
mainder of the indictments against koer-
ner will not be nollied until it is known what
action the prisoners attorney will take con-
corning an application for a new trial

that Mr.. Hoar would maintain the lofty
standards established at that court by
such ambassadors as as Lowell and Bay
ard.
Senator Hoar is considered learned,
a diplomat by nature and long training,
tactful and gracious. The only thing
that stands in the way of his acceptance
is his own health, which has not been
been very strong tor some time. His
friends thing, however, that he is strong
enough for the post, and believe that he
will soon be in excellent physical con-
dition.
Mr.. Hoar is. outside of his own quail
ties, an ideal man in the estimation of
the president. His mission to London
would create vacancy which could and
would be filed acceptably by Secretary
of the Navy Long, whose friends are
anxious to see him round out his career
by long and unchallenged seat in the
senate,
1t is an understood thing that the
president is especially pleased by the
manner in which Long has conducted
the affairs of the navy department dur
ing the war. in W hich so much was ac-
complisned by American seamen, and is
anxious to promote any plans that may
lead to seat in the senate tor the sec
retary of the navy.

Orca and Freeman We're Lost
Last Fall.
THE ROSARIO LOST LAST SPRING
All the Crews Saved-SOme of the Men
We're Rescued by the Bear When
on the Verge of Starvatian-Fatal-
tiles Among the Crews.

NEAH BAY, Wash, Sept. 1.-THE rev.
enue cutter Bear touched here on her
way down the coast. She haa on. board
Lieutenants JaYis and Bertholf and DIR.
Call, composing the relief party, and
ninety-one members of the whaling yes
sells which were wrecked in the North,
including the crew OF the schooner,
Louise J. Kenney.
Besides the loss of the Orca and Free
man last fall, the schooner Rosario was
the only other vessel that was crushed
in the ice. The other vessels. the New
port, Jeanettee, Fearless and Belvidere,
are all out and either on their way down
or have continued on their whaling
cruise. The Wander, which went into
Herschel island last fall when she found
che could not get out, is now known to
be safe.
Captain Newth of the jeanette, who
was taken sick at Cape Smytb, came
down on the Bear, having turned his
vessel over to Thomas Ellis and Charles
Brewer.
The Bear reports that a petty officer
OF the Rosario committed suicide by
drowning last spring, and that in June
Phil Mann of the Jessie Freeman,
dropped dead of heart failure. Gray, of
the Jeanette, died of dropsy. A Siber-
ian and Japanese attached to the feet,
also died since the feet was last heard
from.
When the crews of the wrecked yes
sells came on board the Bear, after she
reached Cape Smyth, there were 1l9 in
all. Twelve of these exchanged places
with like number of the crew of the
Fearless, and eighteen shipped on other
vessels of the whaling feet. Two OF
them shipped on the Morning Light at
Kootzebue sound six shipped on some
of the Yukon steamers when they got to
St. Michaels, and two others shipped on
the English ship Illala, on reaching
Dutch harbor.

Deatness Cannot pe:Oured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inf1amed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

1T is A VERY
STRANGE TALE
How the Collier scipiO Became a Part
of the Naval Establishment of the
United States.

New YORK, Sept. 13.-Interesting facts
have just come to light concerning the
collier ship Scipio, which has lain un-
used in the navy yard since the outbreak
of the war.
In the middle of May one of our cruis-
ers found deserted ship about a hun
dred miles off Sandy Hook. The ship
was in excellent shape, with plenty of
coal and large quantity of smokeless
powder and number of English cannon
on board. The vessel was the English
ship Ravenna, and why she was desert
ed off Sandy Hook with such a remark
able cargo is one Uncle Sans secrets.
The Scipio is the Ravenna with new
name.
There is suspicion that the officers
of the crusier that found the Ravenna
might perhaps explain the mystery If
they choose, but SO far the mystery, if
there be one, has been carefully pre-
served.

FAR WORSE
THAN DEATH
Life Imprisonment in Solitary COnfine-
ment is the Fate in Store for
the COwardly Slayer of the En-
press of Austria.

New YORK, Sept. ia dispatch to
the World from Geneva says:
The life imprisonment with solitary
confinement in store for the Austrian
empress assassin is declared by those ac-
quainted with Swies prisons to be vast
ly worse than death.
A correspondent who recently visited
the chief prison of the canton of Vaud,
where the assassin will be confined, de-
scribes as sad indeed TIE reault of soli-
tary life imprisonment. One man he
saw, the perpetrator of a series of
murders in the mountains, had been in
the cell for fifteen years, with the re-
suit that be completely lost his reason.
The governor of the prisoner confessed
that in view of this and other similar
cases, his views of capital punishment
had undergone complete change, and
that he was now strongly in favor of the
death penalty.
Upon a sentence of life imprisonment
the assassin will be placed in small
dark cell, from which he will never
emerge and will be fed just enough to
enable him to support life.

FORTY OF EVERY
HUNDRED SICK
Five Deaths Have Occurred in the
egiment-Illness Among All the
Troops on the ncrease--Crane's
Immunes Not Immunes Against
Deadly Malaria.

New YORK, Sept. PA dispatch
to the Herald from Santiago says:
Five men of the Fifth regulars have
died since their arrival here, 40 per cent
of the regiment being on the sick report
from malaria lever. Illness among all
the troops is increasing.
Colonel Cranes immunes are in camp
on the banks of the San Juan river.
This has had fatal effect. There are
now more than SEQ men in the hospital
or on the sick report. The illness is
attributed to the effect that the rains
on country full of shallow graves, and
to miasma from the swampy surround
ings.
A medical board was appointed today
to report upon sanitary conditions of
the camp aud the advisability of its
immediate removal to San Luis to form
a part of General Fewer's brigade
Colonel Hoods regiment, which has
been doing garrison duty in Santiago,
will this week be relieved by the Fifth
regulars, the volunteers going to camp
yet to be selected on the San Luis rail-
road.
All the troops not absolutely needed
in the city will be sent to more healthful
camping places.
