A pint at the quart shop was next in order.

"Hckeybos" for the Police. We don't know whether the approaching undertakers' convention had anything to do with the presence of three human fingers in the alley by Lee's grocery this morning or not. Let us be kind and call it a coincidence. When the snn rose merrily at stated almanac time to day it smiled to see three bloody ghastly

fiogerB

lying in the aforemen

tioned alley. Quite a crowd viewed these interesting reiicB and some few dozen volunteered snge speculation as to their presence there. Finally the police took them up and carried them off to the stray pen where the owner can have them by paying the usual penalty. No eatisfHCtorv explanation of this pleasant little incident has been offered yet. They are evidently the fingers of a well grown man bvtt The Jourkal at least hasn't heard of any gentleman who has been shedding his digits along with his winter flannels. Fingers are rather odd things to lose and the persin dropping or leaving them in a public alley must have been very careless or else in a great hurry. If no owner can b3 found the police will confiscate them as hokevbo3.

Undertakers' Convention.

The undertakers of Indiana whose business is not too "stiff" for them to get away will come to Crawfordsville to morrow to hold their annual convention. The interesting

A QOODIHEALTHY HOWL.

The Lafayette Times SiseeUpand Boars a Big SoarThe Lafayette Times thus roars on the oosts in the Pettit case:

More money out of the Tippecanoe oounty treasury, on account'of the trial of Rev. Fred Pettit, oonvioted in 1890 of poisoning his wife, and now serving a life sentence in the Prison North, at Michigan City I

Two thousand dollars more allowed, last week, to George P. Haywood, of Lafayette, and A. B. Anderson, of Crawfordsville, by Hon. James F. Harney, judge of the Montgomery cirouit court, for services rendered in connection with the Pettit case—for briefing the testimony tor consideration of the Supreme court, on appeal of the cause, and for expenses incurred in connection with the same. The State's brief was printed at an expense of $275.00. While the last allowance of $2,000 was made by a Montgomery oounty judge, the taxpayers of Tippecanoe will be compelled to settle the bill.

The Sunday Times is not a seer and, in consequence, cannot tell when money of the realm will no longer be paid out of the Tippecanoe county treasury on account cf the Rev. Fred Pettit affair. It is possible that a new trial will be granted!

Why Judge Harney, last week, should have allowed Attorneys Haywood and Anderson $2,000 for preparing the States's case against Pettit is beyond the 1 imes' reasoning. When a criminal oase goes to the Supreme Court the Attorney General is the official plainly designated by law to have exclusive control of the same, as will be seen by raferenoe to Section 5659 of the revised statutes of Indiana, which expressly provides, viz:—"The Attorney-General shall prosecute and defend all criminal or State prosecutions that are now or hereafter may be pending ia the Supreme oourt of Indiana." In 24th Indiana, in the case of Stewart vs. State, page 124, the Supreme oourt declared that the Attorney-General has "exclusive control of criminal prosecutions in the Supreme court."

When the Pettit case wont to the Supreme court—on appeal—the State's prosecuting attorneys were done with it, the Attorney-General taking it in charge, as required by law. By what right, then, are the tax pajers of Tippecanoe county to be further taxed in this seemingly unending Pettit job?

The Sunday Times has investigated the cost of the Pettit trial to Tippecanoe tax-pavers—up to date—and presents such items of expense as it has been able to find. It is not given to the public as a complete summary, for there are many minor charges that cannot be sjfted from many pages of indefinite oourt allowances—mainly witness expenses in Tippecanoe county, when Pettit was given a preliminary examination in order that the State's case against Mrs. Elma C. Whitehead might be unearthed. However, the Times has found quite enough to arouse the attention of tax-payers to the expenditures, allowances, etc., in the celebrated case— all of whioli they will pay, viz:— Court costs In Montgomery county —Including 11.500 allowed to the attorneys for the Suite 5,1:24.30 Vfm.C.

I will be observed that, so far as known, the trial of Pettit has cost within three dollars and six cents of $14,500! And the end is not yet. It must ,be remembered, too, that in the Pettit affair the tax payers liquidate all

penses and lawyers' fees for both prosecution and defense. The Pettit case has been in court since the summer of 1889—and when it will be out of court is a matter beyond the knowledge of any man.

The Maokessy Oase

Like flash the special and second venire of thirty names was exhausted this forenoon in the circuit court, and there is still no jury to try William Mackessy. Just before noon it looked very much as if a jury had been found, but the last trian examined proved incompetent, so Judge Langdon ordered a new venire of twenty-five names drawn, the men to be called to the conrt Monday morning at 11 o'clock. The State has exhausted eight and the defense seven of the ten peremptory challenges allowed each side.—LaFaynHc Courier.

the Bonp.

At the reoent convention of hotel men in Cincinnati, Mr. Fred Van Orman, ot the Coulter House, at Frankfort, Ind., told the following little story at the expense of one of Indiana's veterans:

One of the largest banquets I ever gave was to the Board of Trade and business men at Frankfort. At the banquet Gen. M. D. Manson, then a candidate for Lieutenant-goaernor of the State was present. One of the dishes served to the guests was marked upon the bill of fare or menu oard as "bouillon in cup." When the "bouillon" was placed in front ot General Manson, he, mistaking it for a beverage of some kind, asked the waiter to pass him the Bugar, and to the astonishment ot that colored individual, General Manson took two lumps of crush Bugar, and dropped it into his "bouillon." As soon as the waiter recovered from his astonishment he slipped up behind General Manson, and, in a tone which sounded very much like a reproof, remarked, 'General, that is soup.' 'Well, I know it,' remarked the doughty General' always sweeten

Boup,'

and suitting his

action to the word he proceeded to take his soup with apparent relish."

Suit On Olark's Bonds.

Prosecuting Attorney Wood this after noon filed suits in the court against the bondsmen of Peter J. Clark and Wm. Temple. The summons is returnable May 29, 1893, and the defendants must answer to the court on that dote. P. J. Clark, John Wagner, Theodore Wagner, Lawrence C. Clark and George T. Beardsley, are sued for SI,000, the amount of the bond in the case on which Clark was convicted. George Bund is to account for the bonds ip four canes, a total of $1,400 being against him. Nicholas W. Box will have $1,400 to answer for as bondsman for Wm. Temple. The bondsmen will now make a determined effort to recap, tnre the men, and it is understood a big reward will be offered.—LaFayvlte Courier.

A Kara Musical Treat.

Each number was heartily ap planded. Park Hunter, the jonng ban joist, was compelled to respond to three encores. He is certuinlv a phenomenal performer on his favorite instrument. Frank Hendrich, of this city, was ac corded a hearty recognition. Mrs. Will A.
