and it is said that the distance of ninety-seven miles between New Albany and Blooinington was eoyereo in two nours ana a nair. Woodward ia a thorough railroader knows all about it, from running a locomotive to manipulating the key ia a telegraph office but this flying trip shows bow indifferent the men ot to-day are to poeeibiiitiesi for he took the same chances that tbe traveling public accept. Tbe railroad companies are not altaestbar to blame for tbe rapid and seemingly reckless speed at which nger trains are now run : two passenger trains be adver tised to start from Chicago to Cin cinnati, one to make the distance in four boors, . the other to go through in an hoar and thirty minutes, and the "flyer' will be crowded wftsvjMsasngers, while the safe traia will aot baye enough fares to. nite expenses. The pub demand an unsafe speed, and like other business men the railroad managers endeavor to accom modate tbeaf.

Busjtlrk Not Ciuilty,' The crowd in the court house
during tbci Stinesville saloon murder trial vi as dense The .weathet waa damp, not cold, two red-hot stoves eddfrd caloric to the foul breath, flavored with' bog iuioe, that filled ibe circumambient atmosphere, it was a "tough" case, and the tough element seemed vitally interested. Lawyers should be iiaid double fees for being compeled to breathe such contaminating air as that which enveloped them like a pall last week, and tbe judge should have issued an order against the iaferoitl squeaking of that south door. The witnesses in the ease were, the majority of them, those that testified before the coroner, nnd they l uew little more than at the coronial investigation. All of those fellows in tbe saloon, it-came out, bad been drinking, and it ia asserted that tbe majority of them: acre atUl at it while attendiQg' court ia Bloom ington last week. One ot thm jurymen stated to a reporter for the Progress that three of the wit jesses were evidently in toxicated while testifying in court. The evideiioe was all in by Tuesday night, and the arguments of counsel were begun on Wednesday morning. The esse was .given to the jury at about 5 o'clock Wednesday 'evening, Judge Pearson reading a inrefully prepared charge ia which t he law was clearly set forth as to the citizen's right to defend his d jmicil. Tbe jury staid with the e we till Thursday morn-, iug, when a verdict of "not guilty" was arrived at. Buskirk gave bond for bis appearance at next term of court to answer for the shooting of Douglass, and returned to Stinesville no the 11 o'clock train. Tl e verdict was in the nature of a ft ir prise to the majority of the people,, who believed that defendant would be found guilty of manslaughter, or else the jury would hang. Brit meo whom it was populnrly believed would hold out for conviction, were ia favor of acquittal in this case on first baijut all of which gives slicngtjhr-lothe old, ssjpng rtrat 'no one can guess at the verdict of a jury." On the first ballot, it ia stated, B F. Adams, Geo. Findley and Wm. Robertson voted for acquittal, and nine voted for uonviction, and that these nine finally came over to, the three before next momiuir. On Thurs day morning Buskirk told Sheriff iarr that he wouldn't be surprised if the jur gave him 15 years. As the jury evidently bejived Bukirk's evidence it is given in substance, herewith:. ' " I am i he defendant ; am S3 years old ; lived at mother's dace 1J BftHWirist of rjntiesylle". Had been in saloon business 1 J months. Before thi t had worked n section.

YOU CAB SAVE MONEY anybody's Cut Prices. BARGAINS AT Death of Prof. IS. 1. Cole. Prof. E. P. Cole died at 2 o'clock Wednesday morning last, at his home on North Morton St., after a brief illness. Mr. Cole had been subject to attacks of bronchitis each winter for a number of years, and being attacked about two weeks ago with this disease, it was finally complicated by influenza, which aggravated -his bronchial trouble so much thst several days before his death bis attending physician became fearful of the result. At the time of his death he was DAoro mtilKa anil 1 fX ilavti 23d, 1818, at Bergen, New Jersey. He was but nine yearu of age when his father removed to Germantown, O., and after a heroio effort to fit himself he was admitted to Miami University and graduated ia 1840. During the next nine years he taught in Franklin, O., in 1813 being made Principal of Troy Seminary. In 1844 he was married to Miss Parmelia H. M linger, who survives him. In 1849 Mr. Cole came to Indiana, and was given charge of Randolph County Seminary. Prof. Cole taught i u Winchester four years, all the time, work ing with characteristic zeal for the n cnaracierisuo zeat lor me of the Seminary, and then Principal of the Indiana') git school. He staid here I success became polis bigl two years and then accepted a sim ilar position at .bvansviue. In 1857. he removed to Blooiniogton - k' - cl argetf the Mosrtft! j County Female Seminary, in tbe building now occupied by John C Wbisnsnd as a residence, corner of 7th street and College Avenue. Here be labored for nine years, and then from 1864 to 1873 was Superintendent of schools at Wabash, Bloomington, Greencastle and Washington, Ind. In .1873 he was selected as Principal of Hopewell Academy, near Franklin, in Johnson county, remaining till 1880, a period ol seven years, when he retired from the calling he had honored, after an active experience of forty-three years. During the past nine years prof. Cole has been actively engaged In business in Bloomington, carrying on an extensive book sad periodical business in that time and up to the hour of his death. In 1854 Prof, Cole was one of tbe most active members of the State Teachers' Association that established tbe Indiana School Journal, and by his persistence and energy did much to insure its successful growth. He was at one time Conaty School Examiner, a member of tbe School Board of Bloomington, and always took an active personal interest in the welfare and success of tbe sohooR An hour or more before his death he called Mrs. Cole to his side and told her that he would sow make suggestions for hit funeral. He selected the verse of seripiure from which he desired the funeral sermon to be preached, the hymns he wished to be sung, Suggested the manner of caring for his remains, and the kind of coffin he preferred all the details aa simple and plata as this good man's: character bad always be. The funeral services were held at Walnut St. Presbyterian church, at 2 p. m. Friday, the audience rooni beitig crowded to the doors with citiaens who deeired to pay the last tribute of respect. The sermon was; preached by Rev. Mintpn, and Prt f. Boone read a sketch of Mr. Cole's life, which he had prepared. A well known colored man, Jim Wilson, died on Tuesday night' of last week. His death waa no doubt due to exposure during the severe weather of this winter. Wilson believed be was seventy years of age, though like many men of his race he was bot positive about it. . Prof. E.
