Bavtivone, Md., Sept. 15.—A rather pe- cular episode oceurred last night at Union Station, which involved atransition from the sorrowful to the ridienlous. Shortly after a Baltimore & Potomac train emerged from the tunnel near Union Station the alarm was given that a man had been thrown from the platform. ‘the train was backed, a scarch made and the rigid body of John Lucy found. An investization resulted in the con- clusion that he had been instantly killed by the concussion, and the boly was tenderiy cleaned of the mud, carried back to tho Union depot and held to awat the action of the coroner, who was summoned by telo- phone. While awaitiog the arrival of this ofticer the body was placed on a stretcher and prepared for the grave. For quite a long tine the body remained perf. motionless, but suddenly the corpse began ruobing his oves, and then glanced abont with a puzled look. His friends hastened forward as soon as they ro covered from them surprise and helped him from s couch. Lacy said_ he felt first rate varring a little buzzing in his head, a rather queer fecling and some bruises about his body. Just as he was walking out the police serzeant entered the depot and asked for the stiff. The lively corpsc was pointed out to him hnd the sergeant at first insisted that as the coroner had been notified, the *subject” must_awa disposnl, dead or alive, Finally, however, he concluded that the lively corpse might go. TWO HUNDRED CATS IN COURT [y Are Gathered to Make Evidenco in a Society feople’s Oase, PrOVIDENCE, R. L, Sept. 15.~The county courthouse here contained more thau two hundred cats to- which were collected from various parts of New Evgland, The cats were to be offered 1n evidence A case which has made cnemies of the family of Noble D. W. Demunn and Miss Caroline Richmond, who beloag to Providence's “four hundred.” Fach claims the ownersnip of a tortaise cat, The Demunns owned the animal, which strayed to Miss Rich- mond's house, and sho kept it. Lhe De- munns put 10 expert testimony to_ prove the age of the catand apparently had won the case. The other side was given uatil to-day 0 put in rebutting evidence, and this con- sisted of the collection of cats, which had been gathered regardless of expense by a man who was on the road all week picking up tortoise cats with pedigrees sworn to for the purpose of springing them on the expert and confounding him us to bis knowledge of ages. The expert was not here to be con- founded. The matter was placed in tho bands of the master 1 chancery and 0o hus ot the whole day over the case. e — A Terrible Powd v Explosion, Vaxcouves, 13, C., Sept. 15.—This morn- ing some laborers on the stone quarries just above Vancouver were engaged in opening cans of powder with chisels, there being about twelve of them, when the powder igmited and a fearful 'explosion occurred. Pat Delaney and Pat Moran were instantly killed. ‘Three othors were fearfully burned and one of them, Jim Murphy, I8 not expected to live. ey —— Enforcing the Sunday Law. CINCINNATI, Sept. 15.—James Feuuossy, wanager of Henck's opera house, and six of his performers 1 a concert which he gave at that house to-uight, were arrested after the performance. Fennessy, after being refused permission yesterday by Mayor Mosby. ob- tained av order from the court forbidding the mayor to interfere with the giviog of the concert, Maulsby's Fawmous Battery. WuegLiNg, W. Va, Sept. 15.—The fifth annual reunion of Maulsby's famous battery was held at Palatine yesterday. The prin- cipal speaker was Hon, John W. Mason, commissioner of wuternal revenue. Mr. Ma- son declared himselr in favor of a service pension for every houorably discnarged soldier, CLOSE OF THE EXPOSITION. Brilllant Windup of a Two Wecks' Snccesaful Display. Tho Coliseum exposition after two weeks of uninierrupted success closed in a blaze of glory last evening. The big building, in ! honor of the occasion, scomed to be illumina- ted with unusual splendor, the exnibits never looked bettor, and n vast crowd, ladies, gentlemen and children, were on hand for a last promenade, a last musical treat and a Iast look at all the rare and beau- tiful things that have interested fifty or sixty thousand peovle since September the second. Befitting the grand finale were the ad- dresses of Hon, John M. Thurston, Major- Clarkson and Mayor Broatch, the three combining in one lavish, but richly deserved eulogy, of ®Manager John 8. Prince, the founder of the Colis- eum and the originator and superintendent of the exposition. The remarks of all thres of the gentlemen were of an exceedingly complimentary character to Mr. Prince, and the vast crowd of spectators attested uheir approbation in three rousing cheers. Apropos to the closing evening was the de- lightful concert by the Musical Union band, which rendered a charmingly seleoted pro- gramme with an impressment that was most pleasing to the throngs of people who lingered uutil the last number was rendered, and the last melodious cadence died away. That the exposition 15 now a permanent in- stitution and that it will be revived upon a much grander and mere elaborate scale next antumo is an incontrovertable fact. Tho ex- hibitors are all moro than gratified with the succoss of the euterprise, while the people only have words of praise for the two weeks of pleasure it has afforded them, e A WOMEN IN INDJA, Miss Kughler Delivers An Address on Their Conditiol The pulpit of the Southwestern Lutheran church at Twenty-sixth avd Poppleton ave} nue was occupied yesterday morning by Miss Kughler, a medical missionary sta- tioned at Guntoon, India, who read an ad- dress on the debased condition of women in India. Miss Kughier maintained that it was not the intention to attempt to Anglicize but to christianize Hindoostan. She acknowl- cdged that the efforts put forth and the money spent in that country for missionary work had borne but little fruit, as there had beeu but few conversions to the christian re- ligion, because the Hindoo regards the chris- tian as the christian regards the indoo. However, something had been accom- phshed, as thers were a oumber of native children attending the mission schools. The women of India, like their °x the worla over, were more susceptible to religions teachings than the men, and the Hindoo and Mohammedan priests exert a most baneful influence over the women of that country. The offect of their religious teachings were bad, as the Hindoo gods were pictured as beings given up to sensual- ity and other viciousucss As a consequence the women of India are deceitful, they have no regard for truth and their langua; is unchaste. The address nded with au appeal for money to maintain the nussions. -~ That Burt Street Grade. If the steep grade between Thirty-fifth and ‘Lhirty-sixth strects on Burt is not changed 1t will interfere so seriously with the locomotion of the motor line as to re- quire aspecial transfer for persons going to Walnut Hill, only five blocks away, and will occasion considerable inconvenience and a loss of time. The grade between Thirty-fifth and Thirty-sixth streets 13 so steep that iv will be tmpossible to try and run the motor cars up it this winter. From Thirty-sixth north to Cuming 1s down grade, so that if the grade was lowered at the corner of Thirty-sixth and Burt the track from Thirty- {fifth west to Thirty-sixth and north onc block to Cuming street would be a_gradual incline, 1nstead of up hill and down as it is now. All the people of Walnut Hill and vicinity are anxious for the change as is also the motor company, becanse it will give direct communication between that suburb and the heart of the city, whilo the present grade will require the running of a short line between Fortieth and Thirty-sixth streets, and the passengers before being transferred will have to walk two blocks to Thirty-tifth and Bure. —- Basket Picnic of Zion Church. The members of Zion Baptist church and their friends held an old-fashioned basket meeting at Waterloo yesterday. There was an immense crowd present. A number of noted colored ministers wera present from abroad, among them being Rev. D. Jones, of Wyandotte, Kas.; Rev. P. W. Barker, of Topeka; Rev. S. South, of St. Joseph, and Rev. John Price, of Strong, Kus. Rev. S. H. Ewing, the pastor of Zion church was in sharge of the religious services, and was ably assisted by the visitors. Too Much Ba:e kali Boer. Jerry Whalen, a contractor, purchased a Jew of beer yesterday and with a compunion got upon the roof of a new house niear the Dball park to witness the games. They grow noisy and some one sent for the police. Jerry resisted and smashed Oficer [Silis in the eye, “I'rk which he was hit over the head with a club. e was released on bail last night to ap- pear to-duy. - Unproductive o The police made a special effort yesterday to catch violaters of the Sunday closing order. The old force of saloon spotters was withdrawn and nin men put on to wateh saloon keepers susbected of doing a back-door business on Sunday. Tho special surveillance was unproductive, 88 no viola tion of the order were reported. £ixteenth Streot Motor Runnin g, The motor trains were put in operation over the Sixteenth and Vinton street line yesterday afternoon.

One day last week four youg ladies stopping at Colin Park went up one of the crecks after clams, says the Sa- vanah News. They were rather late, and the tide was 1ising rapidly when they reached the clam banks. ~ Not to be outdone, they hunted the desirea clams by feeling for them with their feet, until the tide rose so high they were in the water up to their necks. When a clam was sounded a dive fol- lowed, and the clam was landed in the boat. ' Sixty-two clams were the result, and the chowder pot was large and well filled. — - Journals in Faris.

[ THE POLLUTED IOWA RIVER. The State Board of Health Has No Power t6 Abate the Cause. BOIES SEEMS IN THE LEAD. The Demooratic Slope Will Very Probably B¢ Intrusted to Shin. —Des Moines Packing Houses Consolidato. Sure Death to Fish. Drs Moixss, Ta,, Sept. 15.—|Special Tele- gram to Tug Bee]—The state board of health has been pretty badly pounded by newspapers and individual complaints for its failure to abato “he pollution of the lowa river, caused it is supposed by tho refuse of the glucose factory at Marshalltown. The socretary of the bourd, Dr. Kennedy, has finally come out in self defense, with a letter explaining that owing to the weakness of the law, the state board is unable to do any- thing more than advise, and since it has ad- vised until it is tired out, it has been forced with sorrow to sce that nothing has come of it. Tho law seems to bo very defective in a case of this kind since it leaves to tho local board of health, at the point where the nuisance originates, the only power to abate .the same. As in this lowa river case, the great complaint comes from points several miles away, where the effects of poisoning the rivor are most scriously felt. But the people thus injured have no redress and are entirely dependent upon the action of the board of health ut the piace where the trouble originates. It s necdless to say that a local board subject to local influences would not be any too .active in discovering evils whose abatement might cause consid- erable trouble and expense to local interests, especially when the only complainants wers versons living many miles away. It was found by inquiry also, that the state fsh commisstoner had no right to interfere in a case of this kind even to.protect the fish that are dying by thousands; for the law allows this to interfere only when poisonous matter is put in the streams, with the intent to destroy the fish. That doesn’t apply to this case, for no one charges that the glu- cose factory people want to kill the fish. If the effect of the refuse poured into the river is to kill the fish, that is an incident, not the purpose of the act. The law being so de- fective it is probable that the next legisla- ture will be asked to-correct. 1t, by giving state authorities power to abate nuisances that threaten the halth and lives of citizens, 80 that if local bourds refuse to act, some- one may have authority to do so. Boles Seems the Favorite. Des MoiNgs Ia., Sept. 15.—[Special Tele- gram to Tue Bee.]—Advices from leadr g democrats in all parts of the state inagicate , that the democratic convention at Sidux City next Wednes. day wiil nominate Hon. Horace Boics, of Waterloo, for govefnor. He was a repub- lican until abouti18$3, when he left the re- puolican party on account of prohibition. As the democrats hope to win _anti-prohibition republican votes, on the issue of repealiug the law, they consider him as good bait, But some of the old bourbons who have heard him denounee theiriparty in the past do not take so0 kindly Lo the proposed chauge.

The Official Reports, Des Morxes, Ia., Sept. 15.—[Special to T e Beg. | ~The various state oflicers are sonding in tothe governor thewr biennial reports. State Treasurer Twombly's was submitted last woek. It shows tho same encouraging condition of state finances that had been in- dicated by the auditor’s report. The eneral revenue fund recepts during the annual pe riod ending June 50, 1889, were & which represent an increase of re 5,796.58 over the preceding period, which indicates that the state of Iowa is doing a good business and making some money. Dur- ing that period $3,341,603.30 were paid in the redemption of the state auditor’s warrants, and $66,23.91 in_interest on the same, a re- duction in interest over the former veriod of £1,201.82 Tho state now derives a very handsome revenue from the insurance con- panies that pay over £200,000 a year for the privilege of doing business in the state. Of this amount the foreign compunios tributed the past year in_ taxes $149 E and home companies paid $53, .

There is not a dollar of iuterest bearing debt, and the state unow hus a clean credit sheet. Tho biennial report of the state mine in- spectors contain much interesting informa- tion, It shows for one thing how much the mining business was affected by the open winter of 18584, The d of coal during the year ending June 30, 18509, was 688,577 tons, attributed chiefly 1o the mild winter, ‘The valueof lowa ines to Town is shown by the fact that the greater part of the cosd proguct is consumed in this state, giving i at advantage in the mat- ter of cheap fuek 4'he three leading coal counties of Lthe state are in the order named, Mabaska, Keokuk and Polk, The first hus an output of over $00,000 tons of lump coal a year.

Siovx Cary, la., Sept. 15.—~[Special to Tue ek |—The decision of the state railway creaso in the output, commission regarding the crossingof the new Sioux City & Northern and the Chicago, St. Paal, Minneapolis & Omaha tracks a Maurice, Stoux county, gives groat satisfac. tion here, where the obstructive policy of the Iatter company has excited genoral indigna. tion. The St. Paul road apnlied to the com- mission to compel the Sioux City road to cross by a viaduct.

Walter Campbell Makes a Through the Whiripool. NiaGara FaLLs, Sept. 15.—To-day Walter G. Campbell, of Youngstown, N. Y., made a trin through the rapids of Niagara gorge be- low the falls. Early this morning Campbell betook himself to the secret depths of the bank up beyond tho old Maid of the Mist landing and remmned in hiding there until bout noon. About this time, in company with several friends, he was scen rowing about the river. He was encased in picces of cork an inch thick strapped firmly on his person. Av3:20 p 1. Campbell puiled slowly down towaryis the center of the river. He 'drifted down with the current far toward the Cana- dian side. At 3:33, standing upright in his boat he took one of the oars and paddled the cruft iu the direction he desired to go, at the sume time steadying it. Over tue heavy swells he rode in safety and as he ncared tho first breaker of the rupids ho knelt down in the bottom of the boat. He pussed through the first part of the rapids while in a kneeling _position and holding fast to the sides. A huge wave in front of Butler's clovator raised him high on_its crest and psized the boat.
