he had attempted to explode the cart

fact the mineral matter which falls up
on the grass roadway will only made il
smoC ther and stronger, the seeming
paradox of this statement being sup
ported by the claim that the grass
blocks are elastic and moisture-proof,
and therefore incorporate with them
selves any mineral matter that comes
their way.
Mr.. Amies says that his paving blocks
can be made, by process of treatment
of which he alone possesses the secret,
of the consistency of granite, while the
slippery surface common to asphalt ana
wooden paving is entirely absent and
the noisiness of granite pavement I'M
known, as the resilient surface of the
grass blocks offers velvety surface to
the hoofs of the horses that makes their
tread quiet and orderly thud.
Experiments have been made with
the grass pavement in Norfolk and
Richmond, Va, and the result, it is
claimed, has been very successful.
GLASS FOR PAVING PUBLIC STREETS.
The United States cousul at Lyons,
France, John e. Covert, has written to
the state department an interesting let
ter upon the new uses of glass. In it he
tells of pavements of ceramic stone or
devitrlfied glass which had been laid on
principal street thoroughfares in Lyons,
and which under heavy and continuous
traffic for several months have shown
no greater deterioration than marks the
similar life of stone pavements. He
says glass Is being made into material
known as ceramO crystal and is being
widely used tor buildings and interior
decorations, much as cut stone. The
new material possesses all the intrinsic
qualities, physical and chemical, of
glass except the transparency and at the
same time is made to resist crushing
frost, heavy shocks and to stand usage.
A proposition to erect glass house
or luminous palace at the Paris exposi-
ton next year will likely be pushed and
the building will present completely the
possibilities of glass as structural ma
terlal

Goshen Justice Blackmails.

The grand jury of Elkhart county
will be asked 10 investigate charges of
crook edness and black mail which have
been made against Justice George w.
Hattie of Goshen. 1t is averred that
Hattie has attempted to levy blackmail
upon certain well known and wealthy
citizens of the county and county seat
who have been known 10 visit houses OF
Ill fame in Goshen. The methods al
legged TO have been pursued by him are
certainly unique and it is indeed CUR
prising that they should ever have been
made public. According to published
reports he has sought and gained infor
nation, under duress, from the female
habitues OF such places regarding prom
lnent men who make occasional visits
and under threat of arrest and exposure
collected fines and costs from the men.
Speaking of the disgraceful affair the
Goshen Democrat says:
Justice Hattie does not talk much for
But in this instance he defends himself
by saying that the charges now made
against him grew out of a mere rumor.
1t is a fact that he did send one letter
1t was addressed to Geo. w. Gardner,
prominent Jefferson township farmer.
What the exact contents are is not
known, but Justice Hattie says that
Marshal Self filed an affidavit against
Gardner, that woman appeared to sup
press the case and asked that Gardner
be permitted to settle without the pub
lie knowing anything about 1t. a letter
was sent to him and he settled, Justice
Hattle's docket containing the full rec
ord. Aside from this one cOmmunica-
ton, which he insists was perfectly le-
gitimat :, Justice Hattie claims TO have
sent no more letters. He SCOTS at the
charge of blackmail. He refers to the
fact that the officers are familiar with
the proceedings in his court and that
every act has been according to the
statute He says that this is not dis
honorable. The findings of the grand
jury will be eagerly awaited. On all
sides there is cry for Hattle's impeach-
meDt If the reports about him are
wholly or even Partially true.
Several ex officers who have had Off
cial relations with Justice Hattie claim
that he beat them out of large portion
of their fees and that they are willing
to give such testimony to the grand jury
if called upon to do so.
There are number of instances
where it is alleged the magistrate took
collateral, such as watches and revol-
vers, as security for fines and costs in
his court and by disposing of the artl-

The public seems aroused over the mat
ter since the recent disclosures have
been made and nothing short of thor
ough investigation will satisfy people
interested.

A Mr.. Wood, of Madison. Wis,
has discovered a new method of
thawing out frozen water pipes by
means of electricity. He attaches a
wire to pipe in the hose at the fau-
Get or meter; another to hydrant
or main in the street; then runs the
wire from these to an electric-light
wire, and turns on the current,
which is first run through a trans
former to reduce it to a voltage
which will not melt the pipes. The
circuit is established between the
two wires, and the ice in the path of
the circuit quickly melts.
