c. o. Chambsrlaln's Loss Was $4,000,

Later reports concerning the burning,
July 4, of the Bay View House at Wells
Beach, Me-, owned by G. o. Chamberlain
of Brattleboro, confirm the report as to
the origin of the fire, but the loss was
much more than at first reported. The
hotel cost $500 in addition TO the grounds,
and the furniture at least $1,000, making
Mr.. Chamberlain's loss at least $500.
The insurance on the whole amounted to
about $4,000. The fire was discovered
about o'clock in the afternoon. w. G.
Stevens, the manager, smelled smoke and
he and others searched the rooms without
locating the fire. Shortly afterward
guest who was sitting on the lawn saw
flames near the junction of the roof of the
piazza and the house. A frecracker
lodged on the roof of the piazza and burned
through into the main building. An un-
successful attempt was made to extinguish
the flames, and in 35 minutes from the
time the fire was discovered the building
fell in. Scarcely SIS worth of furniture
was saved, and the guests of the house
lost practically all of their belongings.
Mr.. Chamberlain and an insurance ad-
juster went to Wells Beach Monday and
adjusted the loss.

both he and Mr.. Jones are equally inter-

Mr.. Turner was asked concerning a report
that James e. Murdoch of Lafayette, was
here to negotiate a deal between the two
companies. Mr.. Turner characterized such
reports as ''popycock" and said he could
not understand how they originated. Mr.
Frenzel yesterday explained that the activ-

the fact that Mr. Murdoch, who was i'll with

An Era of Good Feeling.


New York Letter.
At a public dinner the other day. Demo-
crat spoke Of the present time as IAN era

to him as though under Mckinley we were
going to have that sentiment of content
which caused the administration of Presi-
dent Monroe to be thus described.
Distinguished Democrats have recently
confirmed this view and William L. Strong,
of New York, is quoting with glee a signifi-
cant remark made to him the other day at

friends had been taking part In the New

Thereupon a gentleman who stood near
but who had not been observed said: II too

AT PUBLIC EXPENSE.
Schemes for Spending the Govern
ment's Money.
Vashington Post.

Washington Post.
A book containing list of all the ways,
freakish and otherwise. in which it is seri-
ously proposed that the government should
spend money is in process of compilation,
1t Is said. proposal for instance, was
made at the recent convention held in this
city in the interest of national university.
One of the speakers showed that the weak
ness Of our privately endowed educational
institutions was to-day due to the fact that
the constantly lowering rate of interest
gave them a steadily decreasing income.
To remedy this she proposed to have the
national government take the bonds in trust
which might be left for the benefit of edu-
cauonal research and pay permanent rate
of interest on them, in order that the donor
of the funds and the beneficiary institution
might alike be assured of a fixed value. The
lady who proposed this plan thought 8 per
cent. would be about the rate for the gov
eminent to guarantee in perpetuity for these
funds, and it was not difficult to prove that
such an arrangement would be of enormous
advantage to the cause of education, and
substantially supplement the good work
which national university might do.
While such proposals as the one just re-
ferred to may not be feared, there are
enough serious ones to open the eyes of all
persons who realize the depressing effects
of a heavy burden Of public taxation. Sub
stantially all the measures now prominently
before Congress are really plans for spend
ing great deal of money. And there is this
popularity about government expenditures.
Nothing never decreases. When the govern
ment establishes something new, no matter
II 1t costs only 100000 a year, that thing
will go on forever. The aggregated accu-
mutation year after year of these things re-
suits in the enormous expenditures which
we have now reached. The worst of 1t all
is that there is no apparent sentiment in
favor Of economy. Speaker Reed, who has
been a bulwark of defense against extrava-
CANT appropriations. Is said to be almost
discouraged. Representative Cannon. chair
man of the appropriations committee, came
back to Washington this winter with a
vastly changed view of things. lie has been
a sticker for economy; he now realizes the
need Of large expenditIlres. No man i'm the
Nation clutches more tenaciously the wrist
of his district to detect the slightest change
in the public pulse. on all sides evidence of
this kind abounds.

SCOTTSBURCi. Ind, Jan. 1870 far about
twenty-five witnesses have been summoned
to appear before the grand jury and testify
to what they know about the Tyler lynch
ing. The grand jury is taking its own time,
and about an even dozen were examined to-
day. Of course, the testimony given before
the grand jury is sealed up as tight as oaths
can make it, and the deputy sheriff at the
door keeps prying ears out of reach of what
is said within. There is no way to get at
the disclosures that are being made, but it is
plain that the time consumed in the examn
alton of witnesses means that something out
of the ordinary Is going on within the grand
jury room. The looks on the faces of some
who have been before the jury to testify
indicates that sensational developments may
be expected at any moment. At the present
rate of examination the grand jury investi-
cation is likely to last many days, as it is
believed that over hundred persons will be
called to testify before the jury is ready to
make a report There is a general belief
that the grand jury is now working on clews
that will lead to the Indictment of at least
some persons who will be charged with be-
ing members of the mob. Attorney General
Taylor will be on hand tomorrow to assist
in the investigation.

KOKOMO, Ind, Jan. 10.-Two amend

card parties, reads as follows: TT is
further provided that If any child on reach
ing home at the prescribed hour fail to find
its mother or maternal guardian present to
receive it, hear its prayers and put it to bed
said child shall report such dereliction to
the mayor of the city, whose duty it will be
to seek said mother or maternal guardian
until found. If it shall be shown that the
absence is not caused by errands of neces-
sity or mercy the mayor shall administer
a severe reprimand and shall forthwith take
her hand and place at the card table and
proceed TO finish the game. Should any
favors be won by the mayor in the exercise
of his official function al the card table the
same shall go to the child as a reward for
the information given. The opponents of
the curfew will urge the adoption of both
amendments.

special To the Indianapolis JOuTHai
BLUFFTON, Ind Jan. 10-One of the
most interesting fights in the history of the
Indiana oil fields is now in progress. The
Standard concern is after the Cudahy pipe
line, and something sensational is expected
within few days. Predictions are made
that more oil property will change hands
and at fancier prices than has been the
case since 1885, when dollar oil caused spec
ulation to run wild. A month or so ago
the Cudahys began the construction of a
mammoth refinery at Kankakee and the
informa ton became public that Michael Gu
daily expected to employ a new refining
process which he had discovered. BY this
process he turns out pure carbon oil that
stands every test, and is said to be the
purest article on the market Mr.. Cudahy
was called to New York and proposition
made by the Standard to buy out the pro-
Gucing purchasing and refining interest of
the Cudahys. The offer was refused. Now
oil operators who selling their produc-
ton to the Cudahys are finding a ready
market for their leases Their property has
grown in demand and the Standard wants
all the leases that contribute to the Gu
daily pipe line. Price cuts no figure. The
sale of the Mcdonald and Watt leases for
$42 900 Saturday was the first. Another $42,-
Oe0 sale was made yesterday and will soon
be made public To-day they bought the
Brown and Long leases for $4,000. More
deals are on, and there is no little furry
of excitement among producers. As yet
no raise in price has resulted. but it is be-
Iieved that the purchase of leases will be
the means employed, and not price raising
or cutting The Cudahys do not seem wor-
ried over the fact that they are losing some
of their best producers. They have a large
amount of undeveloped territory and can
on short notice increase their production
500 or 800 barrels a day. 1t is probable that
active operations will soon follow and also
that more than one firm will sell out at q
big profit. Several good deals are now pend
