Another Mew RosS Row.
A righteous old gentleman from Xcw Hobs came ambling into the city to-day to give the grand jury something to grind upon. Last night about 7:30 tho streets of Now Boss resounded with the hoarse bellowings of one Harry Alkire, who white with rage went surging toward tho barber shop shedding his sup erfiuous clothing nnd foaming, ns he proceeded. Harry was sluggor of no mean repute and when tho street loafers perceived that he was after gore a large and select audience of men, boys and yellow dogs went tripping along after him at a safe distance. Arrived nt the shop he walked in nnd nccused the young face semper, Bergie Steward, of grossly and wantonly insulting liim, then with a wrath born of outraged virtue ho jumped into tho air and cracking his heels togethor three titn&sbefore be touched the floor again, he drew back his good right arm and planted a blow between the razor wielder's eves that laid him limp upon the door. Harry then arogantly eyed tho assembled throng and indulged in some tonghtalk which caused the admiring gang to rend the.air with cheer after cheer. At this stage of the game Harry's appeared 011 the scene and catching the hopeful youug outlaw by the ear took him home giving him a joyful paternal boost at evory jump. The affair caused great oxcitoment in Now I'.iss and may lend to more than one indictment..

THE HELL BY THil LAKE.
The Tortures of the Spanish Inquisition Said to Have Been Practiced on W. F. Pettit.
The South Bend
Tribune
contains
tho following which is probable true and which will bo of peculiar interest in Crawfordsville:
A Btory comes from the northern penitentiary at Michigan City, where W. Fred Pettit, formerly of this city, is serving a life sentence charged with tho murder of his wife near Crawfordsville, which sayB that Pettit recently behaved himself in such a way as to receive severe punishment. As the story goes Pettit had written a letter to some friend on tho outside of tho prison, presumably some one in the State, and wanted to have it mailed without the cognizance of any of the authorities of the penitentinry. Tho letter wns carried with him nnd he informed a brother convict of what had beon done, requesting him to drop it in some ludy's pocket when visitors were passing through. One day crowd of jjeoplo were insyecting the place, severul Indies being with the otherc. The convict had the letter nnd wntching his chance slipped it into tho feminine pocket. Apparently the attempt wus successful for the lady left the department and started out. She must have dropped the letter, for it found its way to tho officials and an investigation was made. Pettit, it is said, would not tell whb put the lotter in the lady's pocket, and to force the information from him he was strung,up by the thumbs for two hours.
Death of a Former Resident Word has just been received herj of the death of JameB Harvey Harrison, at his home in Media, Kansas, at tho age of 84 years. His demise occurred about one week ago. Ten years ago he left Clark township for Kansas wliero he made his home until death. Ho waf. ono of Montgomery couuty's most respected citizens and he will be widely mourned. He was born Dec. 7, 1807, in Shelby county, Ky., and is descended from Robert Pane, a prominent patriot of early times. In 1830 he came to the wilds of Montgomery and with his father and brother Robert put crop in the virgin soil. In 1833 he married Elizabeth Watkins, whose parents were also early settlers of Scott townehip. By hard work he became tha owner of several large farms and for 30 years was noted as raiser of fine stock. At one time he owned a fiat boat and while floating on the Mississippi met Abraham Lincoln in the same business. He was a Wl\ig nnd later an intense Republican,and in 1843 represented this county in the Legislature. In 1880 ho wns ngnin married to Mrs. Sarah Robinson. Ho iB a brother of Mrs.Judge

Modest Mr. Miaco,
Manager Tom M'aco, of the City Club Burlesque Company, asked tho Monoi, road to give him 812,000 for his loss of four weeks' dates. As the troupe was almost stranded when tho wreck occurred ho was promptly refused. Miaco demanded that the money tho members of tho troupe were awarded for injuries be paid over to him and cursed some of tho women most brutally when thoy settled. with tho railroad officials. Ho served notice on all that they wonld bo discharged if thoy settled, and proved himself an all around shyster and brute_ He abus..-d tho injured lady, Mrs. Everett, shamefully for settling, nnd when ho mot her husband in Chicago ho received a much deserved black eye. Ho is now in Chicago howling for damages. Miaco seoms to be a bad egg.

Our Muslin, Underwear and Linen Department
Is in good shape and wo desiro your attention for them this week. Ladies often hesitate to pnrchnso muslin underwear because the garments they wish nro often smallf short or not well made. Tho manufacturer in nearly every instance uset 4-cord thread and a chain stitch, espeoialy in tucking. When such a garment is purchased it is not cheap at any price, as it never gives satisfaction. Your attention is called to our stock of muslin underwear, made entirely, tucking and all, on lock stitch machines with 6-cord thread, both upder and under, are full size in lenpth and width, and made of good muslin and cambric. The Bkirts and drawers havo the yoke band and are perfect tilting Oar prices during this sale will be very low and wo think will be found le than asked for poorly made, inferior goods, elsewhere. Wo will lead (as wo always do) in the linen sales IIow much higher this one is on cortaiu lines. Wo tell you these competitors of ours can't get up early enough to boat our prices. We are always figuring how we can bring low prices about. We are determined to have tho linen business of this city, and to make up for lost time. We are chopping large chips off the prices, in man instances the ax reiiches the quink of tho cost. Wo are advertising to sell goods, not to keep them, so if any article is sold wben you call for it don't blame us. There will bo mauv remnants of Damasks and Crashes. Come early and come often.
