Yesterday the ve diet given by the jury awarding $2,000 damage to Mrs. Cadwallader vs. the L., N. A. & C. railway was set aside by Judge Snyder. The jury, the court considered, did not give consistent answers to the interrogatories propounded by attorneys for the company to award the verdict they did. The company at one time offered to give $1,000 to the plaintiff, if the case was compromised. It look now that it could have been a policy to have done so.
A Close Call.

Mace Townsley had to cut 'em off at ten minutes before twelve for fear of being arrested for having a show on Sunday. It was a chilly combination, and the only original George Harris was a pepper complected individual manufactured to talk. They drew a crowded house, and that was what they wanted.
The manager ot tbo "Jim the Penman," company that sliowed here so successfully last week was a handsome young Germau and the way he threw money at the birds would astonish anyone, but when the compauy arrived at Logansport, Will Palmer, who was with compauy No. 2 at Cincinnati, was there to check hiui up, as he had failed.to report for several weeks. Ho seized his baggage aud the gay young manager lied with quite an amount of money belougiug to A. M. Palmer, tlie owner of the company. He had a large roll when here and must have secured several thousand dollars. Money seomed to be of no value to him and though he was once recognized as an honest young man, having been in Mr. Palmer's employ for several years, he is now a fugitive from justice.-

lie Wanted Meat,
For some tune past Truitt & Scott have been missing meat that they had placed in front of their establishment on west Main-st. and determined to find out who was taking it if possible. They placed fish hooks in a number of the suspended hams and attached threads to them the threads boing suspended from the hams and from thence goiug through tlie window along to the desk iu the rear of the room and tied to some papers that would move as .soon as the meat was handled. The firm has not yet applied for a patent on the device, but doubtless will. About 8:30 p. m. Wednesday the thread with the paper attached began to move rapidly toward the front of the store. Truitt and two or three others immediately rushed out and by the bright moonlight observed the rapidly disappearing figure of a man going in a north direction with a ham in his hand. He was at once ordered to stop but did not and a ball from a revolver was sent after him, Again he was ordered to stop and another shot fired, the second shot inducing him to halt. He was taken to the store aud proved to be a wellknown German citizen living in the west part of the city near Market street, and has never been suspected of any crooked work. He was turned over to the city marshal. What the result of his crime may be has not .vet been determined.

Great excitemont was caused Monday morning by the discovery of fire iu the second story Of the Central House. It is not known how tlie fire originated, out when discovered a large bundle or bed clothing was smoldering, and when the door was opened the whole mass burst into a blaze. The damage is slight but had the fire got under better headway it would have swept Cross street, as a strong wind was blowing at the time. This demonstrates again how helpless the town would be in case of"liio but no ono seems particularly concerned abi ut the matter.—Waveland Independent.
The prospects are most assuring for the future of the Central Indiaua Normal school.' Every thing indicates aud promises success, Many states are represented among the students, aud most perfect harmony prevails In all departments. Never have students been more contented, nor have they ever progressed more rapidly in their studies, The recent purchase of the main building by the town board gives warrent of the permanence of the institution. A vast amount of advertising is being done, and there is no doubt that good results will follow. Give the Normal every possible aid.—. Laduga Leader.
The Wabash vestibule train, west-bound, had a narrow escape near Wildcat on last Saturday night. It was blowiug along at its usual rapid speed, when a heard of horses was encountered huddled on the track between two lines of freight cars. The engine struck one horse, then another, aud still another and, realizing his position, the engineer pulled the throttle wide open, runuing through the herd without damage to the traiu. Of the 13 animals, 11 were killed. Iu this instance 13 was a lucky number—for the passenger?. That the tram was not derailed seems almost miraculous.
Win. Morrison, living between Covington and Veedersburg, was found dead near Troy siding, on the O., I. & W. road, on last Thursday. The supposition is that he was walking along the track, during the ntoht, and was struck by the train. He was not mangled, & hole in his head boing the only injury observable.
Burglars went through Hess & Harvey's wagon shop on last Sunday night and took ail their drills and chisels, besides a lightning reamer. This is the second raid made upon the shop sinte last November, and both on Sunday night. The first theft was followed by an attempt to blow open the safe of Jas, Martin & Co., for which purpose the stolen toola were used. We may therefore soon expect another attempt at safe blowing or wholesale robbery. The burglars are undoubtedly home artists and it ought not to be a very difficult task to catch them.—Attica Ledger.
Tlie case of the State of Indiana vs. Stephen Br* yn, for the murder of Alfred Harvey Krutsiuger, near Eugene, ou the 18th of last March was dismissed by the State in tho Fountain Circuit Court day before yesterday, and Brown remanded to the jail for the next grand jury. The reasou for the dismissal, by the prosecution, of the indicineut against Brown arises from the fact that the grand jury indicated Brown for the murder of Alfred Harry Knitsinger when in the reality the murdered man's name was Alfred Harvey Krutsinger, the difference being in the middle name. The evidence would ha^i? shown, had a trial been had, that the middle name was Harvey Instead of Harry. This evidenco, the attorneys claim, and would have been fatal and would have resulted in Brown's acquittal, It seeniH that the mistake arose In this way: Krutsinger was unknown to any one iu this county, at tho tium he was killed and his name was taken by 1 lio authoritie from hook which he had in Ins pocket, the middie name being somewhat obscure, and when his uncle came over to indeutify him and took the body back to southwestern Illinois for burial, he informed authorities that the name was corect nnd Brown wns indicted accordingly but after the indictinont was found and the case had gotie on chnnge of venue to Fountain county the uncle learned from the mother of the murdered man that his middle name was
Harvey instead of Harry.—New Port Hoosier State.
Mike Crocket, the terrior of Perrysville, got on the war path 011.last Wednesday night, and bombarded C. H. Norton's saloon witli stones clubs, breaking the front windows. He wanted inside and was refused admission, which raised4his angry passious. Ho cooled down very suddenly when the proprietor,opened the door and stepped outside and threatened to shoot his daylights out if lie did not leave. He left,—Hoosier State.
Oakland, a switch station on tho L. N. A. & C. railway, three miles south of Cloverdale, was the scene of a disastrous wreck Tuesday evening which resulted in a- large loss to railway stock, also entailing the loss of one human life. The local freight which leaves here In the afternoon left the track while running at a high rate of speed, where the Oakland switch Intersects the main line, smashing five or six freight cars and the caboose into kindling wood. It is thought that the switch frog was out of order, causing the trouble.—Ureencastle Times.
