Manufacture to BE Carried ON IN
America-Pear1s Hard to Make.

New York Evening Post.
Manufacturers Of imitation jewelry have
said the sale of genuine jewelry in this city
Is less than ever before, and IL Is also SAID
on good authority that large amounts or
facture Of imitation jewelry. For some tins
past IL has been possible TO obtain imitation
jewelry in France and England which Is
difficult of detection by experts: but the
business has never before been taken up in
this country TO any great extent.
The principal manufacturers. expect TO deal
in jewels OF their own manufacture. which
are said to extraordinarily fine limitations
of real stones. and will have a guaranteed
life of twenty years. T "~diamonds' are
tipped with platinum. which Is harder than
gold. Every real stone. except a diamond.
is transparent: without the tip, of platinum
these diamonds would also be transpar-
ent. but with 1t they are given an undetect-
able resemblance TO the genuine stone. These
goods are mounted in fourteen-carat gold.
and so artistically that. when worn. the
platinum tipping cannot be seen. An fnfi-
mite variety of designs. copied from the
best real models. are shown. and at a price
which Is about 80 per cent. less than the
genuine.
All the colored ~stones-rubies. sapphires.
emeralds and turquoises-are also manu-
featured In a like way, and are similar, with
the exception of the turquoise, TO the doub-
let, except that they are much harder, and
are made of real stone (garneo and crystal.
They are so hard that the surface can be
filed and no blemish made on the stone:
AS genuine pearls are the most costly OF
gems, SO do the imitation pearls take the
lead in price. They are made OF fshskin
and a secret composition. The manufacture
of some especially good imitation pearls,
known as Venetian pearls" is a lost art.
the process having been invented by a poor
Venetian, whose secret died with him. There
are about 10000 of them in this country,
bought In Paris about ten years ago they
are very hard, can be stepped on without
sustaining the slightest injury, and VIII also
bounce like a rubber ball. The difficulty in
the manufacture of pearls is in obtaining
gems, and 1t is said that. very often out OF
10000 manufactured few will be marketable.
and they are almost as difficult to match for
necklaces as the real. A dog collar OF imi-
tation pearls. with diamond" clasps would
cost about $3.50.
1t is said that most Of the imitation jewel
business done is with refine women or
wealth, who have their genuine pearls
copied, or buy a novel design which serves
the purpose of a fad as well as the genuine.

Jewett, a young white woman. addressed a
meeting of colored people in St. Paul's

some time ago, for the purpose of creating
sentiment in the North in favor of the
Southern negro. The church was packed to
the doors and all the principal colored or
CARNATIONS OF the city were present.
There was the greatest enthusiasm, and
In the speeches that followed the young
woman was referred to as the new Harriet
Beecher Stowe, as one who had been sent
In answer TO the prayers of the colored
race, and eulogized as the first white woman
who had come out publicly as the defender
OF the colored people of the South who are
oeing made the victims of Judge Lynch.
After the meeting almost half of those in
the church went to the front to meet her
and thank her, and it is a long time since
there had been such a demonstration among
the colored people of Boston.

J.. b. CROsBY's RASH DEED.
WeII-Known Marion Man Attempts
to Kill Wife and Son.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
MARION, Ind, July 16.-J. b. Crosby.
pincipal owner of the Marion strawboard
works and the Crosby paper mill, created a
sensation at noon to-day by going to the
home OF his wife. from whom he has been
separated since last January, and attempting
TO murder her and his twenty-year-old son,
who interfered. When the Strawboard
Trust was organized a few years ago Cros-
by was the sole proprietor Of the industries
and refused to sell. For fear Of being
crushed by 1t he organized a stock COM
pany TO operate the plant. His wife was
given an interest in the company and made
one of its directors. Since the separation
she has positively refused TO transfer the
stock back to him. To-day he called at the
home and she again refused, whereupon he
pulled a revolver and snapped the trigger,
but IL missed fire. The son interfered and
the father attempted to shoot him, but the
gun again refused to work. The boy then
secured a revolver and ran his father out
of the house The son was caught by a
nejghbcr and Crosby was arrested by the
court and was heavily fined. He was then
placed under a $1,000 peace bond. Mrs.
Crosby refused to permit him being set at
liberty unless a guard was placed over him
until Tomorrow, TO which the court con-
scented, and Tomorrow she will institute
insanity proceedings against him. Both
parties are prominent here and the case Is
attracting considerable attention. No one
had ever suspected Crosby of being insane.

MARION, Ind. July 16.-J. C.. Leach, state
gas Inspector, OF Kokomo. was in the city
yesterday and had examined the mysterious
gas well recently drilled in near Redkey
by the Ohio and Indiana Pipeline Company,
which is thought to be a gusher. For some
reason the company had plugged it up. and
reports have been circulated during the past
few days that representatives of the COM
pany are busily engaged in securing leases
Mr.. Leach says: II investigated the well
thoroughly, and also the actions Of the COM
pany, and found that the reports are abso-
lutely false. The well Is located In the
southwest corner OF Jay county, about a
mile and a half west Of Redkey. The drill
ing OF the well was begun In the autumn Of
1885, and the object Of the company in drill
ing IL was to test the lower stratum OF the
Trenton limestone. and, II possible, the I'M
DERIVING formation The record kept by the
drillers shows that at 900 feet the drill
passed through the Trenton limestone and
entered the shale formation. 1t was found
that the limestone was LOCO feet thick. OF
course, this record may be a little wrong.
The well Is thirteen inches In diameter to
the first rock, ten inches to the Trenton
rock and eight inches from that on down.
AT the usual depth in the Trenton rock a
small flow Of gas was found, and about 800
feet below a small quantity Of oil was in
dicated. At no other point was either prod
net found. At about 800 feet in the Trenton
rock a large amount OF salt water was
found. 1t was impossible to carry this on,
and for this reason the iron was drawn from
the well and the hole was plugged.
Mr.. Leach was asked In regard to the
numerous reports TO the effect that the
Ohio and Indiana Pipeline Company is ex-
tending and charging its mains in this field.
He replied: That Is true, but ii is no more
than all other gas companies are doing or
will be soon compelled to do IL they have
foresight, for the reason that as the field
pressure decreases the gas moves more
slowly through the mains. To get the need
ed volume of gas at the point OF consump-
ton or at the pumps it is necessary that
the capacity, of the mains De increased.
There Is no truth whatever in the report
that the company is striving to secure leases
IN the Redkey neighborhood, for II has
practically abandoned the field"

supervenes. and II is without exception the
most terrible death l have witnessed.
1T is only within the last two or three
years that any cases of lockjaw have recov-
cred, and IL is the hope that in future the
large percentage OF cases. So far, il has not
wholly prevented death. but IL has appar-
emily prevailed in some cases. TIL whole
question OF anti-toxins is as yet in its in
fancy. and there has been more done in
diphtheria anti-toxins than any other. DR..
Doty has succeeded with a yellow fever case
by this treatment. but, with regard TO its
use in cases OF tetanus, X IS too early TO
express an opinion as to its value. Ii is
imposed that the body has a resisting
power TO germ diseases. In a large number
or cases this power of resistance is feeble,
and this has led Investigators TO try to
increase this resisting power. 1t has been
discovered that by introducing into large
animals, such as horses or asses. germs of
disease in such quantities as the animal
Is able TO stand, il becomes after a time
lmmunized from that particular disease.
The serum tthe fluid of the blood) is then
collected and injected into human beings,
and in many cases of a number of diseases
1t has been found that a cure can thus be
accomplished. In lockjaw the injection OF
serum is made into the brain. the skull
first being ~trepanned in order TO reach the
brain.'
Another physician described the appear
ance OF a sufferer from the disease as fol-
lows:
Every one has probably suffered from
cramp in the leg. Now, imagine If you can,
such a cramp in every voluntary muscle Of
the body. So violent is the contraction of
the muscles In lockjaw that If the patient
is placed on his or her back the body bends
like a bow until 1t is resting only on the
head and the heels. The action of the heart
is increased and this distends the blood YES
sells. which causes the patient to become
as red as a lobster, while the pores Of the
skin discharge sweat in streams. Convul-
sions follow each other with great rapidity,
and so great is the agony of the sufferer
that no dose of opiates is sufficient to af-
ford relief short of a fatal one AS a touch
of veritable horror 'risus sardonicus' usually
imparts TO the face a peculiar and CHASTITY
grin. The patient lives from one to eight
days before death mercifully puts an end to
the agony"
