CouneftlnK Lake Erie, Ifllehl- fmm and lUe Gnlf or IHt-rleo There has been much talk recently of a ship canal to join Like Erlo and Lake Michigan. The project 18 said to bo backed by capitalists who will Invest 000. OCO in It.

There is no question but that uuch a oanul will be built Home day, but tbe route now p-opoaed ncrobs lower Michigan claimed to bt laiprsctlcftble. Prof. J. L. Campbell, who madea government survey of India' is of opinion.

As to a ship canal from Lake Michigan to the ocean I have examined with some cure, ho Bays, tho proposed rout' across southern Michigan, and I believe it to bo Impracticable Tne elevation of tho central part of south ern Michigan above ibo lakes la from four hundred to five hundred feet, and there are no streams of water large enough to furuleb aufflolent water for a ship canal at ihe summit levels. In he paper I read beforo the Indiana Engineering Society January 8, 1894. I suggested a practicable route for a tfhlp cunal from Luke Michigan to tho Waba-bh river, which I Ijfllievo will apply to the present discussion. The route I would proposo to connect Luke EMo with Lake Michigan begins at Toledo and extends along the lino of tho old Wabash Erie canal to a point a few mlloi? weal of Lognnsport, thence by the Tippecanoe and Monon to tho Kat4kakee at Dunn 1 brlrtpo. and from Buiim's bridge to Lake Mlrhtgan.

The route has peculiar advantages In tbe abundance of water supply for the summit levels furnished by tho Maumee. the tho Tippecanoe and tho Kankakee rivers, and the geu. oral topography of tbe country. Fort Wayne Is situated at the lowest point along the summit of the grout ridge through Ohio. Indiana and Michigan which separates tho waters which run to Lake Erlo and those which flow to the gulf of Mexico.

The crest of the ridge Is ehown by tbe following elevation above the sea leve': Wlnrhos'or. Ind Portland, Inrt Muffton, Yort Wujne. Auburn, Ind I nxranirs, Ind Anpola. Ind Hlllttlulfi. Mich l.WJj Jackson.

Mich Lew, Mica Tbe Bummit levels for the ennui will be: Fort 8 The loweat will be: Toledo l.wnnsport Lake Michigan The Maumee and Wabath will fu- nish the water supply from Toledo to LoganKport; tbe Tlppecanoo, Monon and Kankakeo from Logansport to Lake Michigan. The distance from Chicago to Toledo by ibis route Is shorter than by any other practicable line. The work 10 be done will be the revival and en. largement of the Wabash Erlo canal from Toledo to Logansport, and the construction of a new lino to tbe Tlppeoanoe, Kankakee and Lake Mich Igan. Oo this now section no elevation above 750 feet from sea level will bo encountered, and nowhere will the excavation required eiceed one hundred feet In the comprehensive improvement of our means of transportation this plan will servo tbe double of connecting Lake Michigan with Luke Erie and the Gulf of Mexico.

The improvement of the Wfaba-h. Ohio and Mississippi would naturalh follow the opening of the canal from Lake Michigan to the Wabash All those lines, especially provided by nature, this great work must be construcled. i From recently printed statistics of tho northern penitentiary It Is loaned that of tbe 830 prisoners at that Institution 407 are native Boosters, 44 Kentucklans, 43 are New Yorkers 60 are Illlnoleana. 97 are Onions, and C3 are foreign bnrn. Of these foreign born 22 are Germans, 17 Irish, 6 Canadians.

One and tblrtylaven of the prisoner! can neither read nor write, 629 are intemperate, 678 are single 284 are married, and 87 are widowers. There are 62 life term men In the prison, 166 colored men, 10 insane men, 1 blind man, 1 prUe fighter, 3 lawyers, 1 bank, 1 colored pr aoher, 60 murderers, -12 printers, 1 nchi-ol teacher, 2 doctors, 46 farmers, 6 bookkeepers, 18 barbers, 620 common and not a single editor.

The TrmperantwMertlna'i The large-t crowd of tho week at- ten'ded the down town temperance meeting last evening, many being turned away unable to gain entrance. Mr. Stanley was assisted by Hun. I. S.

Many elgccd the pledge and the Interest in the work of temperance received a great impetus. These meetings will continue nightly beginning at 7:30.

Charles, tbe eldest son a bridge builder, was killed by falling from a bridge on tbe Wabash railroad. Those allllctloas, together wiih the death of her daughters, the late Mra.
