Many "Reminiscences.

1t seems strange that man whose whole
life has been spent in exact calculation
could write so provokingly elusive book
as Prof. Simon Newcomb in "The Remi-
niscences Of an Astronomer (Houghton,
Miffln 4 Coz. From his official position
Prof Newcomb, in the course of his long
life, came into contact with many men Of
distinction not only in scientific life, but
in public life as well. About all he has
something to say, and occasionally he tells
an anecdote or saying that is worth the
while, but usually he limits himself to in
definite illusions that are very unsatis-
factory. We defy any one to make head
or tail OF Prof. Newcomb's early years or
education, and in the story Of scientific
accomplishment the important facts are
left out for the sake Of insignificant de-
tails. There may be diplomacy in this.

tions, too, of what wrath may exist among
astronomers even when they are under
deep obligations to one another, is far from
pleasant.

FIGHT OVER A SUBSIDY
MADISON COUNTY TOWNSHIP IN
THROEs OF A BITTER CONTEST.
Lapel Wants the Railroad, but Farm

Special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
ANDERSON, Ind, Oct. 17.-One Of the
liveliest contest ever waged in. Madison
county is now going on in Stoney Creek
township and the bone OF contention is a
proposed tax levy for the benefit of the
indianapolis & Fort Wayne Railway Com
pany. Recently a subsidy was voted by the
residents of Jackson township amounting
to about $1,0o9, and then the County Com
missioners were asked to call an election
and submit the question to the voters of
Stoney Creek.
Since the date was named there has been
the bitterest kind of warfare. The people
in Lapel are anxious for another railroad
as they see in this competition for the
Central Indiana and e line into Indian
apolis. Lapel is one OF the most thriv-
ing towns in the county and its merchants
desire better shipping facilities. 1t is a
good grain and stock market now and the
location of the new road, they argue, would
be of great advantage.
This week the farmers in the extreme east
part of the township have taken to the
road in their buggies and are appealing
TO others to vote against the tax subsidy.
The election is some distance off and the
fight will be waged with unrelenting vigor
from now until the election day.

Hall. giving him but scant time to grab his
hat.
The representatives of the union had been
called here to settle . dispute over Louis
Wallenberger, an employe Of the Muncie
Brewing Company, who was recently dis
charged. Wallenberger had written to the
International headquarters in Milwaukee
for an officer to come here TO look into his
case. Yesterday a man giving his name as
Nichols arrived and professed to be the rep
resantative. After he had made a strong
speech denouncing the local union, which
had stood by the company and sanctioned
the discharge OF Wallenberger, he was
asked 10 show his certificate OF office. Mich
OILS had none and he was then told TO get
out in a hurry
In the confusion Wallenberger seized the
charter OF the local union from the wall
and took II home with him. To-day a con-
stable went to the house and recovered
the charter.
