taste of the ways of the silent stead,
and get its name in Tne Spy. Poor
pussy Jared hard, and the rider f9red
harder as he was thrown off and a pe-
dial of his machine broken. The animal
escaped before its name could be as
certained, but its owner can satisfy the
animals ambition to have its name in
serted in these columns by leaving the
name with the reporter, and by paying
for the pedal. The accident happened
in front of H. f. Sargent's residence
at the foot of post office hill.

SOLAR ECLIPSE NEXT YEAR.


To determine the probable meteoro-
logical conditions likely to prevail along
the path of the total eclipse of the sun.
vhich will occur in the southern states
OF America on May rs, 1900, Prof. F. H.
Bigelow obtained observations of the
state of the sky and other meteorologi-
cal conditions along the path of total
ity for the period from May Is to June
l. in the years 1891 and 1S9S. The re-
suits for the former year have already
been referred to, and those for the
year 1895, containing reports from 81
stations, are given in the Monthly
Weather Review.
Last years observations give pre-
cfSely the same result as was obtained
in lS9I-namely: The weather condi-
lions in the interior of Georgia and
Alabama were better than i'm Virginia.

SALE OF NEWSTJULY IL
JUDGE MINISTER ISSUES HIS ORDER
IN THE CASE.
At Public Auction mt the South
Door of the Court
house.

Unless the Supreme Court of the State
interferes. the indianapolis News plant will
be sold at public auction on Wednesday, July
Il. at the south door of the courthouse.
Judge McMaster, Of the Superior Court,
made an order 10 this effect yesterday. In
making the order the court granted the Pc
tition of Maj. w j. Richards, plaintiff in the
News litigation, who last week asked that
the court instruct the receiver to
proceed with the sale In this Pc
tition the plaintiff set up the pro-
ceedings had in the Supreme Court a few
weeks ago, in which the appeal OF the de-
PENDANTS from the decree OF the lower court
was dismissed. Several months ago Judge
McMaster decided that Major Richards was
entitled to a dissolution of partnership and
that the newspaper should be sold to the
highest bidder. The appeal taken by Charles
r. Williams and Delavan Smith served as a
supersedeas and no further steps were taken
toward disposing of the News property. In
the action taken yesterday. the court finds
that there is no longer any litigation bear
ing on the case in the Supreme Court and
that there is nothing to prevent the orig
inal decree being carried out.
The courts order provides that an adver-
tisement announcing the property for sale
be published In the Indianapolis News, the
Chicago Tribune, st. Louis Globe-Democrat,
Cincinnati Enquirer, New York Tribune,
Boston Herald and the Philadelphia Ledger.
The first advertisement will appear In these
newspapers tomorrow. The last one will
appear on Saturday, July s. and the sale
will take place on the following Wednesday:
When the courts ruling was announced
yesterday. Attorney Winter, who represents
the defendants, did not indicate what further
steps he would take to prevent the sale.
Some who are familiar with the litigation
say they do not believe there will be any
further opposition on the part of the de-
PENDANTS. Others are of the opinion that the
fight will continue. 1t Is pointed out that
Attorney Winter may ask leave to file a
petition for a rehearing In the Supreme
Court or to file a petition for the reinstate-
ment OF the case. He has sixty days in
entitled TO this privilege.
