through the world, published in Amer
lea and in Australia, and published in
the London Times" as have seen
over and over again. In some obscure
village of Ireland q half a dozen of
men collect together and call them-
selves any association they like, and
instantly their action is placarded all
over the press of England as most
important revolt against the Irish par
ty, and as growing want of confidence
in the Irish party, and every word they
say is reported and published in Eng
land, as if it was the word Of some
great and important public leader. And
I say the arm &of the Irish party is
weakened, and its power for effecting
good for the country is lessened by
these charges, and now after this ses.
sion, here we are. prepared to face the
music (hear, hear). Next month at the
polls, we shall have to stand our trial,
and it, as 1 say. one-tenth Of these
charges were true, then it would be the
duty of the people of this country to
drive US all from our position Of re-
sponsibility, and to put honest, men in
our places. But I would ask this qucs-
ton of these men-who, some Of them,

An early trial will be given Robert
Stiens, colored, the alleged lecner VINO
is charged with criminal, intimacy.
The man was arraigned late yester-
day afternoon and entered a plea of
not guilty. Arrangements. for his trial
will be made upon the return of Will

the case two weeks ago. as he knew
the charge was to be filed against
him by William Muey, the girls faith

Assault and battery with criminal
intent was the charge upon which he
was arrested. but this was dismissed
yesterday and the more serious charge
preferred. Conviction would mean q
sentence of two to tWenty-one years in
the Michigan City penitentiary. The
trial may be before either Judge Fox
or jury, this question to be decided
upon the return of the accused's at
torney from the south.
Stiens' bond was fixed at 5000 by
Judge Fox when the charge of Grim
inal intimacy was preferred. Previous
lyit had been $1,000. An effort will
be made by his friends to supply even
the greater demand. Prosecuting At
torney Ladd stated that II he was re
leased from Jail on bond. he would
present another charge which would
again lodge him behind the bars. He
spent last evening in the county Jail.
The man is deaf as a post" After
the reading of the affidavit by County
Clerk Harry Penny. who stood by his
side and yelled into his ear, he was
asked whether he was guilty, and mis-
understanding the question, replied
"Yes" He afterwards changed it to

while going from the stand that ne

INDIANA HEAVY LoosER.

Indianapolis, July 16.-Heavy rains
have caused manv thousands OF dol
lars of loss in Indiana and the end is
not yet in sight. The railroads In the
western part Of the state have suffered
washouts and in the bottom lands.
corn is under water. Wheat in the
shocks has been carried away and the
oat crop has been damaged.
Farmers fear the clover cut and
lying on the ground will rot before 1t
can be raked and dried. The rainfall
at some places resembled cloudbursts
and flood water tore out large sections
Of railway beds and embankments.
The Monon. Indianapolis and South
ern and Indiana Southern railroads
arc the worst sufferers and 1t was nee.
essary to detour trains over other
roads in several cases.
In Greene county the rainfall last
night was five inches. Rain was also
very heavy in Monroe, Vigo, Parke
Hendricks, Vermiilion, Sullivan, Knox
Gibson and Pike counties. In Indiana
polls some of the streets were flooded
early this morning, but no damage
| was done.
Small creeks are bank full. All
creeks and rivers In northern Indiana
are at flood stage and several bridges
have been carried away.

DISCOVERS ALLOY
TO REPLACE STEEL
Indiana Man Makes Startling
Declaration to American
Chemical Society.
REvOLUTI0NIZE INDUSTRY

San Francisco. July 16.-The Ameri-
can Chemical Society in session at the
St. Francis Hotel, was jolted clear out
OF technical discussion Of profound
and scholarly matters of chemistry to-
day by the announcement Of Ellwood
Haynes Of Kokomo, Indiana, that he
had discovered a new alloy which will
work a great change in the industrial
world. BY. means Of this alloy, which
was proclaimed to the world for the
first time today. manufacturers can
make cutlery without the use of iron
or steel. The alloy retains its lustre
under all atmospheric conditions. In
cutlery metals 1t will take an edge
comparable to good steel and is in
many ways superior to steel, hence ii
is likely to supercede the latter. In
its practical utility 1t has a big ad.
vantage over steel. No rust will gath
er on it under any circumstances. No
metal is equal to it, says Haynes, ex.
cept gold and platinum.

CIoudbursts, and Crops Are
Reported Ruined.
HEAVIEST RAINFALL
RECORDED SINCE 1884
Indiana Also Suffers from
Floods in Many Localities,
the Loss Running Well To-
wards a Million.

Louisville, KY, July 16.-As a ro-
suit of one of the heaviest rainfalls
since 1854 in central kentucky. the
streets of Carlisle. KY, are flooded
today following the waterspout which
deluged Nicholas, Webster and Union
counties at an early hour this morn
ing, and the total loss Is estimated at
S2OOO,OCO No loss of life is yet re-
ported. Cloudbursts also occurred in
Maysville and other towns in the
state. The storm broke this moring
and in a short time Bushy creek which
flows near Carlisle, had flooded the
town, carrying away many thousands
of feet of lumber. and flooding the
coal yards. One of the heaviest losers
is the Burley Tobacco Society. which
had thousands Of pounds of the pool
ed crop Of 1910 in warehouse which
was flooded. Nearly. all this tobacco
was in bulk and it is feared it will be
a total loss. The damage at Hender-
son, Ky, was greater than at Car
lisle.
Practically all the crops in Union,
Henderson and Webster counties were
swept away by the sudden rise Of the
waters. 1t is estimated that $4,000
acres of pooled tobacco are swept from
the valleys. The Illinois Central
railway tracks are under water for a
distance of two miles and traffic is
delayed.
Bridges, houses. stables and barns
have been swept away by the rushing
streams. The flood swept away prac-
tically all the grain in the shocks be-
sides doing great damage to the corn
crop.

A an Indication Of the Increased
prosperity of the last year and OF the
more exacting efforts of taxing off,
cials, a gain Of $742, $40 In the valua-
tion OF personal property In Wayne
county is shown by a comparison OF
assessors reports for 1909 and 1910.
Such gain has never before been
made In one year. and for time the
county officials to whom the assessors
reported were inclined to doubt the
veracity OF their figures.
The new assessments covers the rs
cal year from March 1, 1909. to
March 1, 1910. The largest gains in
proportion to the population and the
total valuation OF property were made
In the country districts, although the
returns from Richmond and few OF
the towns In the county likewise indi-
cate substantial increase In taxa
bles.
Riehmond's Gain 10 Large.
The gain in Richmond was about
one.fourth of that for the entire coun-
ty. The actual figures. according to
the comparison of the assessments
show an increase of $27O,s3O For only
q small part Of the year all the fac
tories here were not running in full
blast, and some even operated night
forces. Merchants and banking insti-
tutions enjoyed exceptional trade con-
ditions. II seemed as though the horn
Of plenty has been emptied in this city
as every citizen had opportunity to
store part of his earnings away to-
wards the proverbial rainy day.
Townships In the county In which
the gains were large include Boston.
Center, Clay. Franklin. Jackson and
Washington particularly. The other
townships, with but one or two In
stances showed gains In the personal
taxables to the extent of $4,000 or
more. Cambridge City and Hagers-
town, two OF the largest corporations
in the county with the exception OF
Richmond, also enjoyed the plentitude
Of q prosperity year. The gains for
the communities were: Boston town.
ship S46,5lO: Center township. $9S.750;
Clay township $4,000; Franklin town.
ship $53 800: Jackson township. $32.-
$50; Washington township. $1S.64O;
Hagerstown corporation, $42.64O. and
Cambridge City corportion. $2S,9GO.
Farms Are Prosperous.
In the country districts the large
gains are attributed to extraordinary
crop yields and q good demand for all
farm products. In addition to the yields
being large. the demand made the food
products high In price. Hogs sold for
more last year and this spring than
ever before In the history of the coun'
~ since the civil war. For much OF
the time corn brought over 65 cents
a bushel and there were few town
ships in which the yield was less than
100000 bushels. Wheat sold fol-
more than a dollar a bushel the en-
tire year, and the relatively high prices
of dairy and poultry products made
the farmers position an enviable one
The gain in the personal property
taxables IL much greater In proper
tion than the gain for real estate ol
mixed property.
