Isaiiih Faulkner, who lives east of Montpelier, is a man tht was marked from hia birth with warts, all over his body, from the size of a grain of corn to a large bean. His body is literally covered with them, and they hang on him like wattles on a hog's jaws. His daughter, aged 16, has a full set of double teeth, both front and baok, and no person can understand anything she says. John Watson, a leading church member, and one of tho wealthiest farmers in Harrison County, has been arrested for gambling. He weut to n circus at Corydou recently and was beaten out of $80 by a gambler, who operated a shell gamo. In an endeavot to get his money baok, he invokod the aid ot a deputy prosecutor, and was indicted himself, for gambling, for bis trouble. At the Arlington House, in Huntington, Mrs. Nora Dawson, a fortune-teller of Marion, was frigbtrully burned on the faoB-and arms, portion of her body being also charred. She is unable to give any definite theory of how it occurred. The most, plausible theory is that she was burned white burning alcohol, to cure a toothaohe, as some of the liquid was found in a saucer in the room. She had prepared to retire, and her loose garments caught in the flames. She can not live. She is separated from her husband, and her mother resides in Indianapolis. Matthew Brandenburg, an old resident of Crawfordsville, has established his claim to an estate in Germany, and will receive $300,000 as ? is portion. His father was a German nobleman, and had his estate confiscated by the crown, but after his death it was restored. Matthew Brandeaberg and a brother oame to America many years age, but did not hear of their good luck until about a year ago. The mouey is in the German Treasury, aud there is but little doubt but that Mr. - Brandenburg will receive the $300,000. Tbe entire estate is val

ued at $11,000,000. Mr. Brandenburg bas followed the profession of an engineer. The immense plate-glass factory, which was recently located at Pendleton, has made tbe necessary arrange meats to commence erecting one of its mauimo.k buildings this fall. Its buildings, when completed, will cover about eight acres of ground, but the company have two years to complete the works and get everything in good running order. The contract also states that it shall bo the largest plate-glass factory in the fias-bolt, and shall employ at least six hundred men. The owners of the factory have purchased all of tbe surrounding stone-quarries and taken options oh several hundred acres of land adjoining tbe city. As Mrs. Sipo and Mrs. Austin were driving across the Monoa orossing at tho north edge of Frankfort, a northbound passenger train struck them, kill' ing the horse instantly and seriously wounding the ladies. Mrs. Sipe received, besides severe bruises, a fracture ot the loft arm. She is about seventy years of age. Mrs. Austin a younger woman, received several scalp woundH, a fracture of the skull in two places, left leg broken, and other injuries of a less serious nature. She will probably die. The accident happened iu a lavel open place, but the horse took fright just as he reached tho crossing and could not be gotten Off in time, Simon P. Cooper, who was a resident of Switzerland County, went to the little village of Florence on the night of November 15, 1884, for the purpose of having a jolilioation over the election of Clevelaud, and while eujoyiug himself by filling up with bad whisky, killed a man.

The seven survivors of the steamer Earnmoor, which foundered at sea when 800 miles off Turk's Island, have arrived iu Philadelphia, and tell a story of terrible suffering. The Earnmoor struck a terrible gale Sept 4, which increased in fares, and at ) 1 :SI0 a. m. the following day the vessel rave a lurch and foundered. As tbe steamer tank the port lifeboat floated off Ironi the ship. The second officer, second and third engineers, four sailors, three firemen, and the cook clung to the boat and scrambled in. An effort was made to save the rest of tho crew, and a drag was made of tbe" painter, but the boat was Idowu away and the oars wrested from bo hands of the men so that no more could be saved. The cries ot tbe drowning men,, as tliey.. . were dashed about by the mount ilno-is waves, could be heard by tha men iu tho beat. The boat drifted into the gulf stream and the air was warm; but tlii increased the intensity of their thirst. "The horrors of hunger ou tho second day became awful," said Carl Crane, one of the survivors, "and it increased as time wore on. Wo managed to pick up sea-weed, which gave us a little nutriment aud on the third day a nymg-Iuh was caught. This was immediately cut up into a portion for each man and devoured. We also captured a sea-bat and sucked its blood, and then ate tbe f'esh after it had dried in the sun. The first man to die was a seaman named William Robinson and tho second was tbe tl ird engineer, Thomas Hunt. One night while we were all asleep, except a German f re man named rlagge, who was on watch, he suddenly became insane and jumped overboard. We were too weak to save him We were without a compass, and steered by the sun by day and by tho stars by night Eleven vessels passed us. One, a British bark. we were certain saw us, and deliberately left us to our fate IV hen iiOO miles off Hatteras we were picked up by a schooner. I can not desi-rlbo in words our joy at tbe sight of this deliverance. We were so weak that we had to be lifted upon tho vessel's dck, and one of our mon, Ed Johnson, a Norwegian, fell overboard and was drowned," DELIB!UATKLYSHOT DOWN. A Notorious St. Louis Lawyer Killed In Cold Ulood. . A Rt louis dispatch saya: B. V. Chambers shot and instantly killed Frank J. Bowman at Ferguson, Mo. Both are well known in St. Louis. Bowman was an attorney here for several years, and made anything but a favorable reputation. The killing grew out of the trouble between the parting over the old Times newspaper. Chamber was a large stockholder and principal owner of the paper up to tha time ot its demise. Bowman was also interested in it. He bought among other things the press franchlso ot the paper, and has been in litigation over tbe matter with Chambers ever since. At the time of the tragedy, Frank .T. Bowman, accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Garrett, called at Mr. Chambers' bouse in r-ercusoiL his inrpose was to levy an at tachment on CI ambers' life Interest in his wife's estate, or whatever other property he might be ablo to find. B. wmau sold: I have come td loy on your property. "All right," said Mr. Chambers aud 'he entered the house. In a few moments he stepped out into tbe yard again, and he then had a dotble-barreled shot-gun in his bands "Garrett, you get out of this place and get out quick," be said to the deputy sheriff. Garrett walked away. Then Mr. CI-ambers turned to Bowman and said: "Now, Bowman, I'll give you three ttiuutes to get out of these grounds." Bowman did not rrove. To an Instant Chambers raised the gun and poured the lead into Bowman's hoart. The men were standing close together, and tbe full load took effect in Bowman's chest He oil dead in the yard. Bowman never spoke, and died instantly. Mr. Chambers walked into the house and quietly remained there awaiting arrest He sesmed very cool and collected after the killing, and did not appear to think be had done anything but what he had a right to do. Bowman wai one of the best Known men in St Louis, although his reputation waa very unsavory. He practiced law for many years here, but removed about three years ogo to Now York. Previous to hia going he figured in a couple qf very shameful scandals. lie sued bis wife for divorce nud afterward compromised the suit on Iter cross bill, paying her a large mm ot money. Shortly after it was given out that he had married a woman in tho East. As soon as tltii became known, a Chicago woman, who claimed a common law marriage wit: Bowman, sued him for divorce in Chicago. He fought the case bard, but the courts decided the Chicago woman was his wife and gave her the divorce. This left Bow. man very much mixed up matrimonially. Bowman was at one time prominent al the local bar, but be was disbarred sev eral years ago for rrooked practices and since then he has largely forfeited th esteem of respectable persons. Chambers and Bowman have been at daggers' ends for years. Chambers was formerly president of the Butchers' and Drovers' bank, of this city, but been mo a bankrupt twelve years ago. He has sine enjoyed a big income from his wife's es tata. Tbe levy was on a judgment twelve years old; ABNElt TAYLOR MARRIED. The niluol. Congressman Elope with Col. A. C. Hancock's Dnnjrhtot'.

A. C. Babcock, welt-known as a politician in this city and at preseut a prominent candidate for the United States innrelmlsliip for the district of northern Illinois. Mr. Taylor has for a long time boou assiduous iu his suit for the hand of Mis-i Bab. ock, l ut his attentions were unhappily frowned down by the Colonol.

At Missionary Ridge he was wounded, but immediately upon recovering resacied active service in the field. At the close of the war he went into tbo railroad business for a brief period. Ia 189'i be was elected toCoasreis and serred from March, 1867, to March, 180! i. In 1870 he was president cf tbe IlJinoU Re- . publican convention, and in tlie same year was a delegate to the national convention : -of that party in Cincinnati. He wai appointed commissioner of internal revenuAug. 2, 1870, aud retained that office D-tH -May 31, 1883. During that period he. cot. : looted 1850,000,000 and disbursed t0,')9Q,000 without loss. Since 1H8S Gen. Ream bus tieen practicing law in Washington. -He Hs the author of a work entitled "The Existing ConOiet Between tbe Republican Government and the Southern Oligarchy." , The annual report for tbe fla cal year 1883-85) of the commissioner of penitoohas been submitted to the secretary cf tha Ulterior and is now in the hands oithe publio printer. Following is a suramary of tho main features of the report: There were at the close of the year 189,729 pensioners. There weie added t that rolls during the year the names of -M , 93 1 . new pensioners, and the names of 1,71 whose pensions hod been previously dropped were restored to the rolls, mLlrrg an aggregate of 5H.875 pensioners added during the year; 10,507 pensioners were dropped from toe roll, for various causes, leaving a net mcrease to ti.o rolls of 97.18SI names. The average annual value ot eacti -pension at the dose of the year is shown . to have been ftKl. The aggregate annual value ot pensions is $W.'SU'.,:),13. The. amount paid for pensions daring tbe year was $38,275,118. Tbe total amount, disbursed by the agents for all purposes was $30, 131,t8. In the aggregate 1,24?. 1 pension claims have been filed since 189 and in the same period 78J1,1S1 Lave been allowed. Commissioner Tanner recom mentfii the establishment of two additional peiishM agencies, to relieve the overwork d tilBeea at Columbus, Chicago, Indianapolis, and Topeka, Kan. He recommends that Congress be asked n amend the n.ct "i June 0. 37. so Vto eUmtJbe ten'il-. ilaj-"-sl6n fair as to isaka u 'ait ; en(ners whon pensions have been granted by special acta passed subsequent to aid lata, and that the benefit of pension be grunted to the widows of soldiers who died front. causes originating in the service pr jjr to March 4, 1861, during tie time of neaea, ' He further recommends, its did his predecessor, that the act of March 8, 17, be amended so as to grant pension to those who, having participated -in the reballioa against tha United States, subsequentry enlisted la the navy and were diiabied therein. Tie injustice and unfairness of li t act' -of Congreia approved June 16, 18W, the "t report says should be corrected. Th u act ' U limits the right of pensioners to r icetv . $72 per month to those who were receiving ?' IO per mouth at tbe date of said act. No. ; provision is n.ado therein for gra it tag. -said rate to those who were totally helplees on said date, but were not receiving ' 50 at said time, and none - for those who have become totally helpless since that data. The anomaly Is presented of wi. :, men equally disabled, possibly living aid' by side, the one receiving $73 per 1 aonth and the other $50 per nontb. ' ' . Tbe commissioner asks attention it the fact that the act of Aug. 7, VifS, arht.h terminates the pension of a widow on account of immorality, makes no pre tIhIou for continuing the pension to the - mirror children ot the soldier whan the widow's pension Is terminated. He asks ifcai Congress be requested to correct this palpable injustice. The Commissioner earnestly teeoaa mends that whenever an invalid pen -oner dies the usual pension be granted to his widow, -or, if he leaves no widow, theu to his minor children, without rega'd to. whether or not his death was due hi any ca res incident to tbe service and line Of duty. Tha commissioner favors grautinf pan sions to all soldier who are disablec . Bessys: "At the war period recedes from us and age and its attendant inujioitiee afflict the veteran who sirred his ciuntry faithfully and well a quarter of a o utury ago, it U a very serious question W lether the government doM him justice in limit. ing the application of the pension hiwt to . those disabilities only which were cot tract ed in the service and line of duty; I eao nestly recommend that a penal at be granted to every honorably died urged soldier and sailor who is now or ma hereafter become disabled, without rog ird to whether such disability is chargeable tp the service of the United States cr has been contracted since discharge: therefrom." The commissioner also favors a r ensloa ' for army nurses and mokes aa arnest appeal on their behalf. The Department of State ia officially informed that a lawhas beta enacted by Chill to tike effect tout months from Aug. 30. 1889, aboishlag import duties on mac-lues . and tools foe. the use of agriculture, mining, trulirur' and industries; pipes or tubes composed of copper, bronze, or iron, galvanized or an galvanized; knees, joints, "T's.

Assistant Secretary ot the TrKl$u Batchellor in talking ot the Chtiiaa - arov, ernment's actiou said: "It is a moss' friendly act. It opens a fine market for ' . products and if we are prompt . to avail : ourselves of the opportunity it will -be or immense . value to us. .Of course there is some tolflish motive in all these things, and Chili's motive is lo en courage progress and de veto arson, . but I have no doubt she wan. inspired also by a friendly feeling toward us. We need, such a market and sho-. ld avail ourselves of it But if we have no -means of tr -asportation all tha concessions that may bV made to us such as this tit Chili an of ne avail.
