FrankjSchumacher was arrested last evehing by Night Policeman Mangold on a charge of public intoxication and disorderly conduct. He was confined injhe county jail until this afternoon when he was arraigned and plead guilty and his fine assessed at one dollar and costs amounting in all to nine dollars and eighty cents. He stayed the docket. Doc. L. N. Grandstaff was defeated for trustee of Root township but he wishes us to announce that this defeat did not in the least jar his democracy, and that he already has his fighting harness on for the party of his faith. Doc is always a democrat and this announcement was not necessary for his friends to know that he was loyal to his party. Dr. D. G. M. Trout received word from his wife at Cincinnati who is at the bedside of their daughter Mrs. Mae Witgenfeldt who is quite sick, mention of which was made in Democrat yesterday. The letter stating that Mrs Witgenfeldt was considered somewhat better and that the doctors now have hope for her recovery and that there was no nxxl of Mr. Trent coming at once. This will be encouraging news to Mrs. Witgenfeldt’s many friends here who now hope for a full and speedy recovery. Miss Maud Hathaway, who has been a member of the [High School faculty in this city for two years past left Sunday for Akron. < >hio, where she has accepted a similar, though more lucrative position. She was"accompanied to the train last evening by nearly every teacher, of the high school. Her place hero 1 a teacher of literature and history has teen accepted by Miss Sophia 11. Luzadder, of Shoals, Indiana, who was engaged by the trustees yesterday. She is a graduate of the State University and has had twelve years experience For several years she has been prinicpal of the Knox high schools. She comes well recommended. She is also a graduate of two music colleges and will have charge of that department as well as the literary work. She begins her duties Monday.

W. A. Lower, received a message from Indianapolis Friday evening, stating that his cousin, a young man named Wymer was very ill, with no hopes of recovery. He formerly lived in this county but for several years had teen living at the Capitol. William C. Graham and Miss Blanche M. Wagoner, both estimable young people of Monroe, were married at yesterday noon, Jan , 20, ‘94, at the United Brethren parsonage by Rev. E. H. Pontius. They will reside in Monroe. They are popular in that part of the county and the Democrat extends congr a t u lations. The condition of George W. Woodward is very serious and his phyiscians say he has a hard battle to fight. He was apparently much better yesterday, but last evening took a decided turn for the worse. Everything possible is being done for him by loved ones and physicians and his many friends hope he may survive. He became ill some days ago with blood poisoning and to this is now added a complication of heart affection andjchronic kidney? trouble. This morning he appeared slightly tetter in several ways but worse in some of the important ones and but little hope for his recovery- is entertained. At two o’clock the physician reported that he could see no change for the better. The Bon Ton Club met Tuesday eve. in its regular social session at the home of Miss Rose Tonnellier. A full membership was present and from eight o'clock on and right here we are compelled to stop as we promised not. to tell how late it was when the session broke up. Pedro was installed as the predominating game and for several hours the guests struggled for the prizes and in the end Miss Lollie Meibers and Miss Edna Crawford were awarded the first and Misses Dude Voglewede and Miss Gertrude Bremerkamp were the recipients of the boobies. After thehiwarding of the prizes, Miss Rose spread a fine lunch before her guests and you can imagine what the girls did to it, after which all adjourned to meet again next Thursday evening with Miss Gertrude Rada macher.

At 2:30 yesterday John Tonnellier suffered a severe stroke of paralysis at his home on North Sitxh street. Dr. H. F. Costello was hastily summoned but owing to his old age, he being seventy years old it is feared he cannot recover. Grant Thompson is looser a valuable horse which was stolen from the barn at the farm of his mother, Mrs. H W. Thompson, of near Monroe, Tuesday. A low carriage and a new set of harness, was also taken, the out lit being worth about 1250. Mr. Thompson came to town this morning and notified the officers who are taking every possible effort to land the thief. Cards have teen sent to all surrounding towns and cities, offering twenty five dollars reward for information and describing the outfit as follows: A jet black mare, two white hind feet, harness marks on hips and where britchen comes, nine or ten years old. Also new set of harness with black rings, brass on inside, blind briddle, single hip straps. For information, write or telegraph ALBERT A. BUTLER, Sheriff. Decatur, Indiana.” The horse was taken across the field for quite a distance before reaching the road, where all trace of the outfit was lost as the roads are icy and hard. Michael Brunnegraff, who was brought home from Chicago several weeks ago and declared insane was released Monday on a plea by his family who thought they could take care of him, and who gave bond to pay for any property he should destroy. After being given his liberty he became sullen and unmanagable. Tuesday evening about five o’clock the police were summoned to the home of his parents on Eighth street where they found him sitting quietly in a wood shed. He showed no fight and went quietly with Sheriff Butler and Marshal C'ordua back to jail. A request for his admission to East Haven hospital was sent to Richomnd some time ago, but they .have so far ignored it, giving some petty reason, and thus working a hardship upon the patient who needs medical treatment and at once. Another effort will bo made at once to secure admission there and this failing complaint should be made to some higher authority than the manager of East Haven.

Frank Touhey was arrested at three o'clock yesterday at Marion. Sheriff Butler left on the 9:19 Clover Leaf train last night and will bring him to this city tomorrow. He is wanted on a charge of forgery and will undoubtedly get a sentence to the penitentiary. It will be remembered that he forged his father in lawis name to a certificate of deposit for SBOO which he cashed at the Old Adams County Bank here last April. He left the country and the police have teen searching for him ever since, his arrest today being the result. Ho is a brother of Ed Touhey and known here as Pat. At 2:50 yesterday the twelve jurymen who have served faith fully on the Faylor-Studabaker big land case were discharged by Judge Erwin. They were sent to their room about 4:50 last evening and were out just twenty two hours. At no time was there an opportunity of agreement and it is quite probable that a decision never would have been reached. The first ballot resulted seven to five for the plaintiff and the last nine to three favoring the plaintiff. A large number of ballots were taken and the vote fluctuated, sometimes ! standing seven to five in favor of i the defendant, sometimes the op- ' posito and sometimes even. It appears that the real strength of the ! jury was seven to five for the plain- ' tiff. The jurymen looked tired and worn when brought into court and were pleasantly surprised when Judge Erwin discharged them, as they- feared they- would have to spend another night in their conn cil room Henry Stettler was "oreman cf the jury and said that while an argeement was possible it seemed impossible. The case occupied sixteen days and all the work : counts for naught and unless a com i promise is effected will have to be j retried. This will be practically ' the fourth hearing of the same case I and the costs are already several thousand dollars. The farm in i question is a valuable one and embraces 124 acres of rich land. , Judge Dailey and C. E. Sturgis for the plaintiff and D. E. Smith for the defendant were in court when the jury was discharged.

The regular session of the “citydads” was held Tuesday evening and for over- two hours the members talked over the routine matters before them. Mayor Coffee presidcd and Peterson, Teeple, Fordyce, Weaver and Corbett were present. Clerk Dallas M. flower read the minutes of meeting of January 5, which were approved. The bond and contract of Jacob Magley for construction of the Harding sewer were filed and approved. A resolution authorizing the clerk to place on the city tax duplicate all assessments against propertyaffected by the Marshall street sewer and branches, was approved. An ordinance providing the selling of bonds to pay for Fornax and Rugg street imprevomonts was adopted. Similar action was taken on the Erwin, Miller and Marshall street sewers. The com mittee appointed to investigate the condition of affairs at the waterworks staton reported as follows: “We have carefully inspected boilers at the water works station and we recommend that the purchasing committee be instructed to purchase two new boilers of 15 horse power each and that said committee be authorized to trade or sell the three old boilers and apply 7 the proceeds J therefrom on the payment for said new boilers.” The difference be ' tween E. Woods and the city was ' referred to the finance committee. The purchasing committee were I ordered to buy the new boilers and ’it is believed this will enable us to ' have first class service at the elecj trie station. William Blackburn recently- nominated as assessor of Washintgon township, tendered his ! resignation as city commissioner 'and same was accepted. After allowing the following bills council !adjourned: D. F. Teeple, dray ages3.B7; John Thomas later, $8.42; E.
