Jacob and David two insane fasters, had set fire to the bedding in their cells and when it was discovered the building was filled with smoke. Several persons rushed in as" soon as the Sheriff arrived and Jacob showed fight.

Bob is now nursing a hand which Dill belabored with a broken bottle. The men were finally overpowered and the fire extinguished. Sunday morning Sheriff Bratton prevailed on Jacob to partake of a lemon, but he could not induce David to do likewise. Jacob thereupon called out, Dave!" And David asked, "What?" "Eat a lemon!" "Wont eat anything!" replied David. 'Taint eating," Baid Jacob, "it's just sacking them.

I'm sucking one." And thereupon David ate, or sucked, the juice of the fruit. By o'clock the two men were willing to eat and they finally consented to abandon the original plan of baptizing themselves before partaking of food. A meal was served them and they partook of it with relish. David was conveyed to the County Infirmary yesterday where he was placed in confinement to await news from his family. He declares that "he's all right," and is willing to go home.

Jacob's condition is bad. He tears his clothes off and parades his cell in a nude condition. This morning Marshal Rosebrough went in and bathed him and had him re-clothed in an entire new outfit and these he has already ruined. At ten o'clock, to-day, he ate a slight meal and some fruit. An endavor was made to get their family physician, Dr.

Sprowl of Warrens here to hold the inquest on Jacob but he could not come, and at the time of the reporter's visit at the Sheriff's office at two o'clock, arrangements were being'made to hold the inquest at any rate. Members of the family were in town to testify. Justices. Randolph and HHtebrand and Dr. Ervin Wright held the inquest.

Preparations are being made to take David Dill to his home and he will probably go to-morrow. ADDITIONAL LOCAL A large amount of cabbage is being shipped into this city.

A well-dressed man, apparently about thirty years of age, who gave his name as Thomas Smith, and who- claimed Kk be a traveling agent for Ivison, Blakeman of New York, is being hunted by James W. Marshall of Indianapolis, whom is alleged to have victimized to the extent of $50 In ready cash. Mr. Marshall was a passenger on a Vandalia train from Indianapolis to this city, and soon after leaving the Hoosler capital he formed the acquaintance of this very smooth and polished member of the ubiquitous family of Smith. This particular Smith impressed Mr.

Marshall as being a man in whom it was safe to place a great deal of confidence. The agreeable stranger represented himself as working for Ivison, Blakeman in the capacity of establishing agents over the county to sell the various publications of that company. Mr. Smith happened to think that, the firm was needing an available agent for the State of Indiana and threw out the sugar-coated bait that they would pay $200 per month to the right man. Mr.

Marshall began to nibble at the bait and finally bit. The stranger drew up a paper and signed it, but before the bargain was closed Mr. Marshall, upon a smooth request, paid him $50 as a bonus to guarantee that he (Mr. Marshall) would act honestly in dealing with the company. Mr.

Marshall would now like to have a bonus from Smith that he was also honest. Smith had to go into a rear coach suddenly to see a friend. After waiting an hour Marshall went through the train but could not find Mr. Smith. He had also alighted from the train at some way station to see a friend." Mr.

Marshall unfolded the paper, and, instead of a contract, found that it was an old insurance policy of the iEtna company for 1886. It had not until this late moment dawned upon Marshall that he was a victim to an oleaginous-tongued scoundrel. is the son of a farmer living near Wabash, and said he was coming to St. Louis to go on a "lark." The Skating Rink will open on the 15th for roller skating, and will be open two nights out of the week thereafter. Cur for Literary Dram rn-lnklng.

The habit of dram drinking, it is said, leads to fatty degeneration of the heart i. excessive fattening around the heart and "weak action of the heart in consequence. So, too, the habit of exciting novel- reading leads to fatty degeneration of the literary mind to an unhealthy and spasmodic action of the imagination and a general weakening of the power of entering thoroughly into the solid interests of real life. So far as we know, the only effective cure for this habit of literary dram drinking a cure not always forthcoming is a moral -shock of some kind which exposes the hollowness of all these unreal interests and makes them appear artificial and melodramatic as they actually are. That, however, it a cure which is an extremely painful one, almost cruel in its disillusionizing power.

There are, we believe, some happier mortals who can cure themselves, as the grocers' shop boys are said to be cured of their taste for sugar and raisins and such dainties by an early surfeit of them but that is a kind of cure which it takes a very healthy mind to operate upon. As a rule, even where the surfeit destroys the zest of novel' reading, it also leaves the mind too languid to take eagerly to plainer and more wholesome food, and so at once destroys the Measure taken in the poison, and eaves the mischief produced by it.

Harris Rogers, of is responsible for a new telegraph invention, which will be known as visual synchronism. The discovery consists of a method by which two wheels, thousands of miles apart, may be kept revolving in perfect unison, and the application consists in the ability to print and transmit from one wheel to another about 150 words a minute. By means of a small instrument with ten keys a message is first perforated on a tape. This tape runs through a telegraphic instrument, and the perforations permit small steel fingers to make electrical connections with an ordinary telegraph wire, which in its turn connects with the receiver on the other distant wheel, and influences ten magness provided with curves and. strokes, which combine to form Roman letters in accordance with the original perforations.

The two indicators or wheels which actually form the visual synchronism give 900 revolutions, a minute, and each revolution forms a letter. This S'ves about 150 words a minute. The orse characters have to be interpreted, but as visual synchronomic messages come out in Roman letters, much, labor is saved. "Autographic telegraphy," said Mr. "invented oy the famous electrician, Bake-well, about thirty years ago, and afterward improved upon by Father Secchi, Edison, Gray and Sawyer, failed in practical applications for want of the rapid synchronism now introduced by me.

With the aid of the new discovery it may now be utilized." Kew York Tribune; ''A German Antl-Tipping- Society. The question of tips is at length to be seriously grappled with. A German psychologist has taken it in hand, and has constructed an elaborate plan for its solution. Tipping, in the view of this acute person, is a numan weakness, a deficiency of moral courage verv similar to tippling, and should be dealt with in the same way. Accordingly he has projected an association of anti-tippers, a kind of union of total abstainers from tipping, the members of which will be required to sign a pledge prormsin! to give no more tips to waiters, servants and other persons of this class.

The headquarters of the association are at Chemnitz, and although its constitution is not yet 'finally settled, a badge for its members has been resolved on.
