A PICNIO FOE LOAFERS.

The Voris Trial Furnishes Much Sport and Little Evidence Against the Old Man. Poor old Wash Voris and wife sjjent Inst niglit in jail and made the jail authorities ns much trouble as possible. After eating a hearty supper Mrs. Voris became very sick and Dr. Kecgan was brought in hot haste. After a digital exainination of his patient, however, ho declared her to lie as sound as a turnip in every particular.

At 9 o'clock this morning Chuiuascro's court was crowded, nearly every loafer in the town lieing present. The aged couple was ushered ill by that dignitary of the law. Constable Byas, ami the crowd burst into aloud horse laugh as the little Ixib-tailod dog made a pass at the Squire's leg and was downed with a a lawbook. It was decided to try them separately, so the old man was tried tirst for drawing the ax on Co.istable Hanna. The getting together of a jury was productive of glorious sport and the liouso echoed with the loud roars of laughter as loafer after loafer was brought up by Constable Byas and rejected. Finally Hud Deriekson and George Brown, two of our enterprising colored citizens, were passed, and then nine other jurors, good and true, were rushed through in no time. There was difficulty in procuring the twelfth man and Byas was ordered to go down on the street and "procure a competent juryman." He soon returned leading our esteemed fellow townsman, Mr. Peter Flynn. On account of his great ability he was accepted by both sides and the music tegan. Constable Hanna testified to going out to eject the Voris's, and of them refusing to open the door until he began tacking up a notice on the door, when the old man came surging out with an ax on his shoulder. While he was talking with him the ol.l lady threw water in his face and he threw a large stone at her, but she was behind the screen door and gave him the ha-ha. Old Wash and his wife swore that the old man was merely going out to chop wood, and further that Hanna threw the stone before the old lady threw the hot water. While the testimony was going on the gang in the room crowded up in front of the juror's chair, hiding them from view. Peter Flynn took advantage of this fact to escape and was not missed for some time. Byas was sent after him, and at length returned with the culprit who was severely reprimanded by the court while the audience howled with laughter. Pete excused himself by saying that '"Compulsion compelled him to go out." "Didn't you knvw you were sworn to try this caso?" thundered the court. "Poll my word I didn't," answered Pete as he assumed his position as comjetent juror again. The arguments were made by Reed Hanna and Vancleave for the defense and Moffett for the State, and the jury retired.

More fun was had with Pete Flynn before the end of the case for he escaped again just before the noon adjournment and had to be recaptured. Again this .afternoon during MotTett'e sieeob he went to sleep but was awakened on motion of attorney J. R. Hanna. The jury when it retired went to' Hanna's law office and settled the old man's case in three ballots. Upon their return the court polled them and asked if a verdict had lieen agreed upon. "It hez, yer honor,'' cried Peter Flynn in clarion tones as the foreman handed it in. "We the jury find the defendant not guilty.

There was a scream of laughter from the crowd and three yelps from the little dog and old man Voris sprang to his feot and exclaimed with the lmw of Chesterfield, "thank you, jurymen, you're a credit to the human race. The case against the old lady for assault and battery then came up but it was finally decided to dismiss it and turn the old folks loose. They joyfully repaired to Hahna's law office where the old man made a stirring apjieal on justice and equity closing with the following "We had a nuinlier one jury, all mode! jurymen, and old Mr Flynn shall havo my thanks. It would have lieen a pity to have fined him for running off when he didn't know any better."

John M. Coulter Again Honored. A meeting of the board of trustees of the State University will be held in a few days to elect a successor^ to President David S. Jordon, who has resigned to accept the presidency of Senator Stanford's California University. Among educators the opinion is quite general that Mr. John M. Coulter, now professor of biology in Wabash college,Crawfordsville will be chosen. If this expectation is realized the State University can bo congratulated on securing a man in every way worthy to fill President .Tordon's place. It should bo a source of pride to Indianians that their State has secured two men so eminent in educational work.—Ivdianapolit Journal.

Without interviewing Prof. Coulter we venture the assertion that ho would not accept if the position were offered him on a silver salver.

CHIPS.

—C. J. Head is seriously ill at his home on College street. —S. D. Symmes has sold his property on Franklin street to Win. Sinkoy and wife. —Mrs. Ella Willis & Son are refitting their photograph gallery preparatory to the spring trade. —Rev. J. L. Kelley did not lecture at tho Methodist church last night on account of the rain. —Postmaster Win. Wallace, of Indianapolis, brother of Gen, Lew Wallace, is very ill, and the odds are against his recovery. —A bouncing pair of girl twins arrived at the homo of Will Nash last night. Mr. Nash is still in the wholesale business. —A large ferry boat would bo an elegant addition to the Monon depot. Tho mud is so deep that persons endeavoring to get to the platform are in danger of being swamped. —Parties of ten or more, who desire to attend tho Bernhardt jierformances at

There is some special business to be attended to besides the regular work. All comrades of tho G. A. R. are invited to attend. —Miss Maude Johnson, of this city and Richard Cordell attempted to elope yesterdry but were foiled and dually married with the consent of tho parents says the Indianapolis Journal. Nothing inld be learned of the matter here.

Frivate Opinion Made Public. Said a farmer this morning to The Jouhnal: "I an 50 years old and have been farming all my life. I have ma^e a success of my business. I never saw the time before that I could buy so much for what I sold as I can now. I brought down ten bushels of jxjtatoes and sold them at 81.25. I am selling my wheat at 81, corn at G5 cents, oats 55 cents, butter 20 and eggs 15 cents. One of my neighbors sold his cattle at 85.25 this morning and hogs are now selling at 84. I never before until this morning bought 20 pounds of sugar for a dollar. I want to say that I am tooth and toe-nail in favor of the McKinley tariff bill. I believe it to be a bill in tho interest of the farmers. Facts are stub born things and cannot be got out of the way with the theory of free traders." Such is the evidence of one of Montgomery county's best and most practical farmers. His little sjieoch contains volumes.

The "Praying Band" Episode. The members of the "Praying Band" are Btill much nerved up.over their little sensation of Sunday last, and havo not yet decided what course of action to adopt in regard to tho matter. Mrs. Butcher was confined to her room last evening and lamenting the affair in a heart rending way. She stated that her husband, Frank Butcher, had gone to Chicago yesterday afternoon and she did not know how long he intended to remain. Until he returns there will be no developments as Mrs. Butcher has given up all idea of death and will stay right hero on earth as long as she is allowed.

Found for the Defendant.

Tho case of Henry L. Kepler et. al. vs. Fisher Dolierty & Sons, was decided toby Hon. F. Everett, Judge of the Superior court at Lafayette. The com plaint was by the creditors of Fisher Doherty & Son, and sought to sot aside tho conveyance of the business rooms conveyed by Fisher to his son Madison The court finds tho conveyance were made for a valuable consideration, to wit 84,117 which Fisher owed his son Mat, and that their was no conspiracy to defraud tho creditors. This virtual ly ends the litigation against Madison Doherty. His attorneys wore Hurley A' Clodfelter.

OF GENERAL INTEREST.

—Shor.hand impairs th« Intellect by superinducing, in some occult way, a sort of atrophy of the memory. Consequently shorthand has never been systematically cultivated by American newspaper reporters. —Blacksmiths will be apt to view with alarm the introduction of paper horseshoes just approved for use in the German army. They are made of layers of compressed parchment, cemented with a preparation of turpentine, Spanish white, lac and boiled linseed oil. The separate layers are stamped out, cemented and consolidated by a hydraulic press. When dry the shoe is rasped to fit each horse. —A Polish wedding took place at Hurley, Wis., recently, at which a curious proceeding, said to be a custom, was noticed. Instead of the invited guests each bringing a present, they waited nntil the wedding-dinner was over, then the plates were removed, washed and brought back, when the assembled guests threw silver dollars against the plates until all of them were broken. The couple received nearly seven hundred dollars in this manner. —At St. Paul, Minn., the other day, a police captain, who had got locked up In a room while making a search, actually sent a message by. an outsider to tho city attorney, who lived two miles away, asking him if he had authority to break out of the room. The attorney was wroth at being disturbed at an untimely hour in the night, and sent word to tear out of the house. Thereupon the brilliant officer broke out and arrested the man who locked him in. —The price of seal-skins all over the world depends on the auction sales of these furs which take place in London twice oach year. At the October sale of the present season, prices were nearly doubled, because, while the demand lias rapidly increased, the supply has diminished. The great North American Co. offered only twenty-one thousand skins for sale this year, and buyers from the large European cities and from New York bid heavily because the demands of their customers compelled them to do so. —An old soldier of the Massachusetts Thirty-fifth regiment gives the following advice regarding cold feet: "At one time while I was stamping upon the ground, in the effort to warm my extremities, a comrade in the same regiment said to me: 'If your feet are cojd try this.' He raised his foot from the ground, and struck some light blows with his hand on the upper part of his leg, just above the knee. I did the same with both legs, and instantaneously fflt flow of ifirq blood 90vrilny down-

ward, and the feet soon became comfortably warm PVie origin of the name "America" has recently been discussed by the Geographical society of Berlin. Somo held that it comes from,a range ot mountains in Central Aincrica called by the natives Amerique, and that Vespucci was not called Amerigo, as it is not a name in the saint calendar of Italy. They asserted that he changed his name from Alberiiro to Amerigo after the latr ter was coming into use as a name for the western world. Signor Govi, however, has proved that Alberico, in the Florentine hir.gT.nge, is identical with Amerigo, mid a letter of Vespucci, dated 1600, found're ently in the archives of the duke of Gr.nzagn at Mantua, shows that he sometimes subscribed himself Amerigo. Moreover, the natives call the mountains Ainerisque, not Amerique, si that the question may be considered settled in favor of the personal name.

IN HARD LUCK.

Bat He Wns Making a Uluir For Fifty DolI fir* More. At about noon, as I was journeying on horseback through North Dakota, I came alony to a farm house which looked very dilapidated, but which might furnish a comfortable dinner, nevertheless. It seemed at first to be deserted, but after awhile a bare-head-ed, coatless man answered my knocks and asked what was wanted. When I told him he replied: "Stranger, I'm sorry, but I can't accommodate you. My wife is down with the chills." "Too bad." "And my oldest gal has got the jumping toothache. Just jumped her clean over a chair." "That's hard lines." "And the other gal has been in bed three weeks with a thorn in her foot" "I'm sorry." "And I've got my every-other-day ager shake on, or I would cook something for you myself." "Things seem to be going hard with you," I suggested. "You've hit it, stranger," he said, as he sat down on the doorstep and indulged in a long shiver. "This land ain't what I tl:-ught it was." "N-?" "And I've had three crops fail on me "Yes?" "And some of us have been sick every day since we came into the state. Barn burnedtip last month." "Did, eh?" "And some one run off my horses and vagon last week." "I declare!'" "And I'm der-d broke, and nothing in the house to eat except corn meal." "Well, well! Wern't you discouraged?" "Tee to tally." "And why don't you pull up stakes and leave?" "That's it, stranger, why don't I? I know I orter, and the old woman says I orter, but I'm hangin' on for a bluff." "How's that?" "Eastern man got a mortgage for $800 on this outfit, which hain't worth WOO, and I'm hangin' on to bluff him Into giving me $50 more to vacate and travel. I've writ him if he won't do it •we'll all die in the house and haunt the ranch forevermore, but he's slow in making up his mind. Ever see a feller shake worse than I do, stranger? It'a Mven miles to the next house, and the old woman is hollering for water, and that Jumping gal ia jumping with another spell of toothache. Excuse haste, Stranger, and keep straight on, and you'll fetch up at Brown's."—N. Y. Sun.

The Life of Sherman.

It is no wonder that upon General Sherman's death there should spring up a widespread and constantly increasing demand for his memoirs. The ]eoplo desire to know all they can of tho life or this great man, not aione iKJcause tho story is one of absorbing interest, replete with entertaining anecdotes nnd exciting incidents, nor for its great historical value, however highly these qualities may lie valued, but because they feel it will show them what tho life of a great American should lie, and by example make them purer and more' patriotic citizens.

General Sherman closed his personal memoirs with his retirement from the army in 1884, which ended his public life. But ho could not lend the life of an ordinary citizen. Ho was so much loved and honored, his counsel was so wise, and his presence so genial that ho was constantly sought after, and, though ho refused all jxilitical honors, ho frc•piently gave his name and presence to worthy ol)j"cts. So tho public demanded to know more of his life than lie wrote himself. To meet this demand it was thought wise to have additional matter written, using tho general's own letters and memoranda as far as possible, bringing the story of his life from 1884 down to its closing scones, and gives a description of tho imposing ceremonies that accompanied tho march to tho grave. This has lieen done, and has been carefully revised and corrected Hon. James G. Blaine, who has also written a critirjue of tho memoirs and a personal tribute to the general. This work could not havo fallen into ljetter hands. Mr. Blaine was a warm and lifelong friend of General Sherman, nnd appreciated, perhaps ljetter than anyone olso, his many-sided and brilliant character.

A Philadelphia publisher is advertising a life of Sherman by Gen. O. O. Howard but that gentleman denies that ho lias written any such book. It a best when you buy to got what tho old soldier wrote him self and this work is published by Chas. Webster & Co., of New York, publishers of Grant's Momrs.Itwill bo in one volume of 1000 pages and the price will bo $2,00.
