A young man, Lewis Slater, was in the hub and spoke factory Tuesday morning of last week, and in some manner his clothing, was caught on a set screw of the line shaft, drawing him over the shaft and whirling his body rapidly through space. One of the handi who was near by bad presence of mind enough to jerk the man loose from bis entanglement, and saved his life, as a few more revolutions of the shaft would have resulted in dashing out his brains. Slater bad his right arm broken above the elbow, and his collar bone was also fractured. Dr. Harris attended to bis injuries. Slater was not em ployed in the factory at the time of tbe accident, it is stated.

A. Cleveland, Hoq. Chas. W. Fairbanks, Ifcto; Jobn L. Griffiths, Dr. Braytoaiand others made highly eulogistic speeches about Dr. Jordan, wh'ij was compelled to sit there while the taffy was thrown all over him and dropped down on the floor with "an ominous plunk," as Bill Nye would say. The Doctor is not easily spoiled by flattery, bowever, and after the cultured orators of the literary club had exhausted their high flown words of praise, he arose and in a very plain, matter of fact manner, said : "I don't know just bow to respond to all these good things. The unexpectedness of this occasion was forced upon mo sevorat days ago so that I might be prepared for it, but my peace of mind has been somewhat loss ever sinoe. V bother I. have boon lucky or not I shall be able to say better by and by. It is a high horse and may be somewhat hard to ride. Wheo I come walking back from Ban Francisco, I hope the club will recoive me kindly." Dr. Jordan measured human nature exactly when he hoped the club would receive him kindly, should he have the misfortune to make a failure of the Stanford University experiment the probability is that in such event the Club would forget to hold a meeting when Dr. Jordan came "walking back from Sau FraucUco."

The Trustees of Indiana University on Tuesday evening of last week selected Prof. J. M. Coulter of Wabash College, for President, to fill the place of D. S. Jordan. John Meiiit Coulter is the recognized leading systematic botanist in this country. He was boru in China in 1857, when his parents were Presbyterian missionaries in that country, and his grandfather was the founder of Hanover Col

lege. He graduated from Hanover iu 1871, and later took a thorough course at Harvard. He was instructor at Harvard at the same time Dr. Jordan taught botany at Cornell. Dr. Coulter was the botanist on the Government Sur vey that made the original survey of Yellowstone Park. He was elected Professor of history of Ind iana university in 1879, but re signed to go to Wabash, where he has since remained. He is the author of the best standard work, "The Botanical Magazine," tbe botany publication in this country. J. G. Urmey and Miss Lydia Kinser of Harrodsburg, were married at the home of the bride's parents, on Wednesday morning last, Eld. Krutsinger officiating.

S. Batman, Miss Kate Carmichael, Miss Mary Woolery and Kate Whisuaud, Bloomington. " Benj. Dupree of the west side of town, has brought suit nvainst the railroad company, placing his damages at the sum ot o,uuu. Bis attorneys are Fulk & Con. In his complaint Mr. Dupree recites the fact that on a dark night iu the month of March (23d) he was hurrying home on west 5th St., when at the turn-table, he ran against the lever by which the turn-table is moved, receiving painful and serious injuries to his right side. There was an extraordinarily large attendance at the sale of the John Cole personal property, last Wednesday, on the farm west of town, notwithstanding the fact that the mud varied in depth from six 'inches to two feet. Wils. Adams was principal auctioneer, and - did the talk part well to some 225 people who were present. Frank Fowler paid $305 for the trotting mare "Belle Harrison." Hay, corn, hogs, cattle, and everything else oflcred, brought good figures. John C. Dolan, the Democratic candidate for Mayor, is a very plausible man, and he is promising all manner of impracticable reforms, it is stated. There is no reason why any Republican should listen to Mr. Dolau's "tale of woe" there is nothing in it but Words he can't deliver the goods Remember that L. Vau Buskit k is the Republican candidate the Republican nominee and give, him your hearty, undivided support. The special term of circuit court was adjourned from day to day last week, because there was no judge to try the cases set down for the term. Judge Grubbs of Martinsville, however, arrived on Monday ot- tins week, aud it is hoped that the three-cornered rail road switch suit, brought bcre on change of venue from Lawrence couuty will be disposed of by him. Prof. John Brown, practical demonstrator of vault deodorizing and fcecal deposit removing, de sires to tender bis professional ser vices to tbe citizens. Tbe time has come when vaults should be attend cd to and John Brown is fully pre pared lor the business. Dr. Coulter, the newly elected President ot I. U., has a wife .and tour children. Jtte will not, it is understood, take charge of the in stitution till after tbe close of the college year in June. George Findley, who resided east of tbe Christian church, has rented tbe Webster house and moved into it last Thursday. Newt. Bennett of Harrodsburg has routed the house vacated by Findley. Joseph Warder aud wife, who have been located in Columbus, O., during the past year, will soon remove to Indianapolis. Mrs. Warder is visiting her parents here Dr. Harris and wile, People are moving from other towns every day of the week, and others are coming from the . country to Bloomington, the great commercial center. Rev. Knox of Monticcllo.Ind., delivered the lecture in College Chapel, last Sunday afternoon, and preached for the Walnut street Presbyteriaikneoplc in the moruiug. The teacher of dancing, Prof. 1 outc, who has been doing a good business in Bloomington this wiuter, has returned to Terre Haute. A good deal ot sly work is being done by the city Democracy, Lhey will make dfllperale eltort to elect Dolan aud Campbell. Their schemes must be circumvented. Sam.

Ira Dillman bought the celebrated raring stallion 'Marshall T.," at the Cole sale last Wednesday. No Republicau would harbor the thought of scratching Frank Woolley, than whom there is no belter man on the city ticket. He is beyond criticism the man for tbe place,' and the one who will be elected by a satisfactory majority. Still it is well to remember that he should receive the strength of hit party. It is real funny to see Sam. Bollenbacher "play" candidate for City Clerk on the Democratic ticket. If it amuses the young man no one can be cruel enough to rob him of the iuuoceut pleasure of getting that long name on a ticket, nut really bam. has no more show thau a Republican has for Representative in this district. Bob Greeves will continue to keep the records ot the city council in the Eflme stttisfactory and careful manner that he is doing at present On Monday night 67 last week the Grand Army of the Republic celebrated the zoth anniversary of its organization, at the court house in Bloomington. Dr. Aatell, Cum mander of Paul E. Slocooib Pofat, presided. The history of the Sons of Veterans, was read by h rank Headlev. The Camp is known as Cap!. W. J. Allen Camp; Theodore Tread way is Captain. Mrs. Mulky read a histoiy of Woman's Relief Corps ; it was organized here in 1887 ; it has 50 members. The National organization has over 100,000 members. Tbe .anniversary ceremonies of the G. A. R. were ordered to legin at 8:30 o'clock in every post in the United States, and at that hour Rev. Hamilton opened the- exercises with prayer, Maj. Mulky following with a history of the G. A. R. The Republican candidates for Couneilmen are No. 1 men. You have H, J. Branoock in the lint word, a mechanic. He is public spirited, encrgt tic and a bard-w rking citizen. He will see that taxpayers get value received for their money iu city improvement. Joe Smith in the 2d ward, is well known as a successful businessman, whoee close attention to his duties and careful economy have placed him where he is at present. Dr. McGee of the 3d ward is a professional man whose good business sense is supplemented by an educa-; tion that thoroughly fits him for! tbe position. He will give the 3d ward people a clean udmiuUtratiun. Pete Mercer, who left here 18 years ago aud went iiito the minstrel busine-s, drifted back last week on a visit to the town of his birth. Pete's stage name is "Ned West," and he has been with circuses aud minstrel parties all over this country. George Owens lias been a hard-working officer, and has given tbe fullest satisfaction in his ositiou as City Marshal. It is a difficult office to fill one that requires very positive traits of character. No one can say that George has not far exceeded expectations nor that he does not deserve credit for the peaceful condition of our cHy, There is less drunkenness, brawling and fight ing here than is found in any town of equal population iu Southern Indiana a reformation which is to a large extent due to Owens' management. He should be re-elected by a very satisfactory majority. Joe Payne has got the Tate estate to a final settlement already. Senator Fulk and Joe "whooped it up." No use iio permitting a a small estate to drag five or six years in the courts. Robert Nprthcott ot Elvion, Kansas, with his wife and four children, has come to Bloomington to reside.
