The Electric Railway. Just enough is heaid of the cleehic railway nowadays to keep one fiom forgetting that a line of tnat charactei is to bo built here very soon. The project is not talked of enthusiastically as most new enterprises ate. On the contrary there are gieat many people who can be classed with the doubting ones, and who disbelieve that the line will be built. If the projectois have been making a bluff they will gain nothing by it.

In fact, it does not seem that business men would no to such extienies for nothing. The proposition to build a line was received in good faith by the council and in like good faith the members voted to the new company a valuable franchise. Nothing more remains for the company to do but to put in their line. It will doubtless re- cejve deseived encouragement from the citizens when they see it commenced. This seems to be the only thing that will set the doubting ones at rest.

Mr. Mar- Prom Thursday's Daily. The Decatur tourists who have been to Washington, D. for the past week arrived Some last evening in the private car "Izaak Walton" all safe and well. General Manager Conklin, of the T-H.

and Capt. John A. Barnes who went with the tourists did not return, they having gone to New York City. B. B.

Tuttlc came back last Sunday, otherwise the peritmnel of the party was the same. Each and every member of the party is agreed upon one thing, and that is thut the trip was a grand success. They all unite in saying that they had a splendid time and that the pleasures they enjoyed were worth many times the financial outlay of the jaunt. They lived like princes and were courteously received at every turn. The trip to the national capital was pleasantly made and was marred by no accident.

Between Terre Haute and Indianapolis the "Izaak Walton" got a hot box, but this was repaired at the Hoosicr capital, although it made the party one hour and a half late the balance of the way. At Columbus, Ohio, W. W. Daniels, brother-in-law of L. L.

Burrows, joined the tourists and accompanied them HS far as Steubenville. At five o'clock Thursday evening the party pulled into Washington. Efforts were at once made to secure yard room for the car but the only available place was at the foot ol Jersey Avenue and this was considered too for away. Skirmishers Bent out secured rooms at the St. James hotel.

They got rooms 78, 71 and 40, fronting on Pennsylvania Avenue. The rooms were large with two beds each, and two beds on the floor. This afforded ample sleeping accommodations. The location could not hnvo been more to the taste of the tourists as the inaugural parade passed down the avenue and afforded them all a fine opportunity to witness the magnificent display. The rooms could have been sold out at the time the procession was passing at tiorn $15 to $20 each, but the Decatur paity knew what a good thing was and refused to barter the place away, Goudy were guests of the party at dinner.

The bill of faro on board of the "Izaak Walton" was equivalent to the best hotel in the country. 'Going aud coming the party enjoyed the best of everything the market afforded and it was served in the most tempting style. The meal hours were breakfast at 8, lunch at 1 and dinner at 6.

H. Conklin and General Passenger Agent Stevens, of the due much credit for the successful trip'. They showed the party every possible attention and in return are praised by all. The party found the P. as nicely equipped and as pleasant to travel over Jas any road they used; and are unanimous in speaking good words for the management that has put the line in auch thoroughly fiist-class shape.

All rail road officials and em- ployes the party came in contact with proved to be courteous and obliging. To L. L. Burrows belongs a large share of the credit for the comforts of the trip, and the pleasures resulting therefrom. As a general manager Lou made Ms mark.

His plans were perfectly laid and worked without a hitch. He was a sort of a guardian for the entire party and took from the shoulders of each all the care of the trip, and his unqualified success gained the thanks and approbation of all his companions. Lou proposes to secure the tickets of of the party, with the autograph of each on the back and will ha vet I n-m framed as r. souvenir of the trip. S.

The funeral of the late Wm. Martin took place Tuesday at half past twelve at the residence of M. M. Martin, on East Eldorado street. Brief services were conducted by James Miller, after which the remains were removed to the depot and taken to Litchfield on a specia train, composed of five coaches and an engine.

Log Cabin Remedies--old fashioned, simple compounds, used in the i ni-o The rain of course interfered somewhat with the pleasure of the party but not to any great extent. Rain began falling Saturday afternoon, continuing Sunday and Monday and clearing up Tuesday forenoon alter the exercises were all over.

Owing to the rain the party did not go out to the inauguration exercises. They planted themselves in the windows of the rooms and waited for the great procession to pass. This they saw in its entirety, together with President Harrison and Ex- President Cleveland, who rode in a carriage, the latter supporting an umbrella over his successor's head. J. R.

Mosser was the only one of the party who went to the capitol building to see the inauguration. Through the courtesy of Congressman J. H. Rowell he had a ticket admitting him to the platform. He only witnessed the exercises in the senate, however, and then returned to the hotel to see the procession.

In the evening a number of the party attended the inaugural ball and brought away with them pretty souvenirs, in the shape of the pro- granviie, use'd on that occasion. The tickets to the ball were worth $5. D. A. Ice attended and notwithstanding the reported abbence of Mrs.

Cleveland, he claims the distinction of having danced with her. Taking one tiling iuto consideration with another the stay at the capital wus full of pleasure to all. The party saw the various points of interest, enjoyed glimpses of many men of national reputation and came away more than satisfied. THE TBIP nosiB. The start for home was mi.de Tuesday morning about 11 o'clock, the schedule time for leaving having been fl .50.

Miss Ella who is in Washington with l)i. Ferguson and family, came out a shoit distance from Washington with the party. bhe txpects to return home in and many of the men who had workec under the deceased accompanied the re mains to their final resting place. Th body rested in a beautiful black casket The floral offerings were exquisite, con sisting of a large broken car wheel, massive gate ajar, a pillow and a star am cresent, besides numerous cut flowers The first three pieces came from the sho employes and the last from office men at th shops. The car wheel was a most beau tiful design.

The spokes were made geranium leaves and red carnations. Th hub was of white carnations with on the mountain geranium leaves. Th tiie was formed of tuber roses, azaleas marechal neil rosebuds, with a bac ground of snow on the mountain geran- Sum leaves. The pillow was formed of tuber roses, hyacinths, marechal neil roses, white carnations with smilax border. In the center were the words "Our Fore man," in immortelles.

The star and crescent were made of the same kind of flowers, and also the gates ajar, except the last offering was bordered with maiden hair ferns, and at the base were two magnificent calla lillies. The pall bearers were: B. Z. Scott, W. A.

Boettger, C. T. Pope, T. H. McConnell, Lewis Fiank and James Sullivan.

A New Electric Light Engine. The Light committee of the city council ire figuring on the purchase of a new engine. Representatives of different manu- 'actories have been here for several days up their engines and endeavoring make a sale. Among the number was J. J.

Sullivan, of Chicago, representing Hamilton Corliss engine, and Mr. Reynolds, of Milwaukee, representing the Reynolds Company. It is the intention of the committee to recommend the purchase of an engine of at least 150 horse power. This will be big enough to meet the needs of the city for years to come. With an engine of this kind the electric light plant will show to a much better advantage than it has for some time past.

The additional power will enable the city to furnish a better and steadier light and if necessary to increase the lighting capacity. This seems to be necessary in some quarters of the city. There are a number of dark streets in different parts of the city where a few new drop lights could be used to good advan age and at a small increase over the present cost. The new engine will be purchased as early as possible as the one now in use will soon have to be delivered to the Ft. Wayne Jenney Electric Light company.

Few Points In Law. The season of the year is coming when THE LOST ATLANTIS. For many centuries there hag been a tradition of a long lost island called At-', Isntis. The Greek geographers located it in the i Atlantic Ocean, west of the part of Africa and thePillurs of Herculea.K The sea-kings of Atlantis are said to hmve( invaded Europe and Africa, and to havef been defeated by the Athenians. All the legends agree that it was a island, of inexhaustible resource, and habited by a race of superior people- Forj ages this island has existed only urlegeu- dary lore.

But now, whon 'the light modern research is turned full upon thaj investigation, behold the lost at our very doors. So the bigoted medical fraternity groping about in the dark, seeking for an'!

The two gentlemen were entertained at dinner and brought to Grand Rapids, where they lived. At Dayton, Ohio, a gentleman named Brown, a college classmate of the late Edgar Ewing was hospitably entertained. This course was pursued going aud coming. All comers were enter tained with great hospitality and the party made quite a reputation for themselves and their town. The big banners along the side of the car never failed to attract a crowd when a stop was made, and there was always sure to be some one in the crowd to enquire after acquaintances in Decatur.

At Co- himbus, Miss Maude Burrows and her nephew, Lucian Daniels, joined the party and came through to Uecatur. The party pulled into Terre Haute yesterday an hour and a half late. The T-H. P. train was waiting for them and the "Izaak Walton" was coupled on and the last run for home was commenced.

This ride was among the most pleasant of the trip. The train fairly flew over the smooth road-bed and when the stop was made at the Union depot it was found that the party were just 15 minutes behind schedule time, the T-H. P. having made up forty-five minutes for them between Terre Haute and home. Walter To Relieve Counties of Criminal Cost Representative Reed, of Cairo, wants to relieve the counties of the burdens due to the excessive costs of the trial in certain criminal eases, and he has prepared a bill on the subject.

It provides that in all capital cases in which the defendant shall be sentenced and in all criminal cases iii which the defendant shall be sentenced to the penitentiary the costs of the prosecution, including the cost of dieting the prisoner who is sentenced, shall be paid out of the state treasury in the manner hereinafter described: "Provided the defendant in any of such cases shall be unable to pay the costs to the prosecution, and an execution foi such costs against such defendant shall be returned by the sheriff indorsed. No property found." Whenever a judgment in any such cases is entered and the execution sbal show that no property can be found the clerk of the circuit court is to file with the auditor a certified copy of such judgment and execution and return and his certificate'that the defendant is insolvent, and a bill of the costs of the which must be approved by the circuit judge who redered the judgment. On receipt of this the auditor is required to draw his warrant upon the state treasurer for the amount in favor of the circui 1 clerk, who must without delay pay the costs of the prosecution to those who by law entitled to receive the same. Came After The Boy. Tuesday James H.

Wilson, of Wei don, DeWitt county, arrived here to take back home wrth him the young boy named Artie Danison, whom the polict arrested on Monday evening on suspicion The lad had sold a small white pony a a low figure, which led to the belief tha he had not come by it honestly. Wilsoi bore a note from Louise Danison, the boy' mother, which said the pony belonged tc the boy and that she did not care if he sole the animal, provided he got a fair pric for it. She said Mr. Wilson would be th judge of that question and asked tha her son be turned over to that gentleme as he had committed no crime justif yin his arrest.

The remains of Mrs. Henry Schaefer were interred at Atwood on Tuesday ivening, and ended a case of supposed impended animation which created a big lensation in that vicinity for several days.

Che woman died suddenly one day last week and was to have been buried on Sunday. At the grave the coffin was opened to allow the friends to take a last ook at the remains. A slight color in face gave rise to the suspicion that Urs. Schaefcr was not dead which was strengthened by a noticeable limpness in icr hands, arms and limbs. The belief that her body still contained life became so firmly impressed that the funeral services were called to a halt and the remains taken back to the family residence.
