The war in (bis county against John Burford's post oflice slate will perhaps last a few mouths.

The DePauw ball team will cross bats with the Wabash club at the home grounds this afternoon.

A trunk fell onto Chris Price, a Van brakeman, at New Market, Thursday evening, seriously injuring him.

The alarm of fire about 9 o'clock last evening was caused by the burning of a small house in the rear of Grlllith's cabinet shop. No particular loss resulted from the conflagration.

Wilcox's livery barn caught fire at noon Thursday, near the iiue. An alarm was sent in but the fire was soon extinguished with buckets. Had it been after-night there would have been a cleaning out on Market street.

John Burford went east Friday afternoon) as he said, to New Ross. Evidently Burford is around seeing the game, while the out of town folks are at the bat. He is trying to fix up that little post office quarrel. The question is will it fix?

A. F. Ramsey and P. C. Somerville were in the gas region this week, investigating plans to pipe gas to this city. There will in all probability be something done now as the above gentlemen act and do not talk. If gas can be successfully piped here we will have it.

Harvey Chrisman and W. W. Gates, of Iudianapolis, of the firm of A. B. Gates & Co., were here this week working in the interest of Gates' Blended Java coffee. Everyone who knows these two clever gentlemen knows they are excellent fellows and the coffee they are selling Is one of the best in the market. Try it.

The frosts of this week appear to have made a complete destruction of the grape, currant, peach and other fruits, which promised such a splendid yield heretofore. The frosts appear to have been very general through Indiana and Illinois. People who expect to enjoy peaches and grapes this year will no doubt pay high for the privilege.

Mossler's grand opening Thursday night was an affair creditable to the new firm and to the city. The store was decorated with flowers and the stock was neatly arranged and consisted of the very best and latest styles of goods which made it look beautiful. MUBIC Hall orchestra furnished the music for the occasion and the vast throng of people who passed through the store showed that the firm was welcomed by our people. The store was crowded with people passing through for two hours, all of whom received a beautiful souvenir. It was a high testimonial for the firm who have already shown their enterprise to be worthy a share of the public patronage.

Mrs. John Robb, daughter of Mr. FiBher Doherty, died at the family residence on south Washington street this morning at 2 o'clock, after an illness of some three weeks. The deceased had resided in Crawfordsville most of her life time, had a large circle of friends who esteemed lier fur her universal kindness and unostentatious acts of charity, and will sadly regret her demise. The funeral will probably occur to-morrow afternoon, although at the time of going to press it had not been determined upon at what hour it would occur.'t*'

A man named Robert Taylor, ofWaynetown, came to town yesterday morning to borrow $300 to pay upon some property. He received it through the agency of Johnson & Webster and appears after this to have started out to have a good time in company with a fast young man of this city. They secured a horse and buggy and started out east on the old Indianapolis road. The horse, it seemi?, ran off, throwing Taylor against a telephone pole. He was found an hour or two afterward by Vint Smith but the $300 and young man who were his company when starting out were both unaccountably absent. Telegrams have been sent out in several directions but no responses have been received.

Mayor Russell was able to be on the street Monday for the first time in soveral weeks 1. his many friends are glad of his recovery, not in just saying the word but because Mayor Russell can't count his friends by bis acquaintances, and if the world posessed more people like him life would be more worth living. He has only one fault, and that elected him mayor. He is a republican.

Ed F. Gall, representing A. Gall, the well known carpet dealer of Indianapolis, has been in the city this week, and has secured several fine orders from our best people. The line of goods carried by Mr. Gall is a salesman itself and needs no one to talk for them. This is one of the most reliable houses in the state, and when a huBtler like Ed Gall starts to sell such goods, it is safe to say good business will be done.

The young man, Henry Stulf, who made his first ascension in this city, and then got druuk over the good result, had been making tlm ascension and did well every where.

Stulf Is only a boy and resides at Quincy 111,

Who Is At. TIIK Rat?

Since the change in postmasters in the county there has been a war which has reached such mammoth proportions that the struggle is hecoming serious and the question now is "who is at the bat'i" John Burford made a clean home run hit and struts around like a peafowl over the vast importance of his royal highness. He is the self-styled voice of the party in (he county and to his credit is duo tho appointments. The defeated candidates can reserve their cuss words for his benefit and the "playing even" game can only be laid at Mr. Bur-lor-j threshold. There is hardly an appointment that has given satisfaction. They did not seem to care about the people having satisfaction, it was for past favors and future promises. The New Richmond change was one of the most ridiculous acts of the whole affair. The republicans wauted Holland, the merchant, to have the oflice if there must be a change, but the big blacksmith takes it away from a hardworking, crippled boy, which leaves but a few people satisfied. At Yountsville there was no desire for a change, the people did not ask it, and were perfectly satisfied with the work of Carl Snyder. At Waveland the Independent voiced the people's sentiments. At Waynetown they gave it to a young lady who is worthy, but they forced a lady out of the office who had as many republican friends that were anxious for her to keep the place. At Whitlock, Charley Webb receives the appointment This keeps the office just where it is as his partner, Squire Gilkey, is postmaster, and the brethren are mad because it wis not moved. R. B. Bell gets the office at Alamo and they kick there because the brethren were not consulted. There is war in all quarters. Burford has had his Inning and now the people are at bat. We await to see who will win the game.

Mike White in Wnslilnton

•Mike White was in Washington City lately. He was there, it is understood in the interest of the Crawfordsville post office, that Is, he has interest enough in it to want to be post master. His probable success in that iue is unknown, although bis friends think he has the "ear" of the administration much better than Bunnell or any other individual mentioed in connection with the place. It has all along been supposed that Mike would get something better than the post office, but Ben is probably overrun with applicants for places and cannot possibly satisfy each and every one in their desires. The Crawfordsville post office is not near the plum it is generally supposed to be. The post master receives a salary of $2,200. He pays out of this $820 for clerical help, and also about $100 for coal, gas, etc., the government allowing but $85 per year. He is also compelled to put In full time himself at work In the office for If he employs some one else his place his cash cleared will be that much less, and the salary would then be but about $30 per month. If there is any "bonanza" in this office of large proportion the public will fail to see it.

.• Nominations For Cnuucllmen. A meeting of the democracy of the city was held at the Court House on Monday evening to select nominees for councilmen from me three wards of the city. Col. Heath was appointed president, and George Hurley secretary. The residents from the different wards separated in different parts of the court room and proceeded at once to select candidates with the following result:

First Ward, Col. Heath. Second Ward, Eph Griffith. Third Ward, C. W. Wright. With a majority of from 250 to 800 against us in the city it looks like a hopeless task to undertake the race for any city office. Yet greater things than this have been accomplished. The concervative citizens of all parties can certainly see the need of a change—espeoialy when there is a constant complaint of increased taxes. Let tho books and business of the city be inspected by a few new bands. It will do no harm if no good. Here are three respectable citizens, business men, who certainly have the interest of the city to heart as much as anybody within It.

One of the horses, a brown mare, was killed by the accident. The other one was badly bruised up.

ThoIndependent Speaks.

The following hard shot from the Waveland Independent is more truth than poetry and speaks as if some besides Burford White and Ristine will be at the bat: Of course there is dissatisfaction over the result, here—not so much with the appointee as the manner of his appointment, The post office is of more importance to the people than any other, and the pntrons of each office should decide who should conduct it a county-seat ring has no right to dictate to the entire county. It was proposed to hold .an election hero to decide the matter, but Col. Burford notified the persons interested that no attention would be paid to such action. The offices had been promised before the election. The politicians have no use for the "dear people" except 011 election day and when that opportunity for showing their power comes, they are so full of patriotism that they forget the slights and insults heaped upon them, and the wiley demagogues lead them wheresoever they will. It has been but a short time since Mr. Clarkson announced with a flourish of trumpets that he did not propose to act as a clerk to merely sign commissions as the politicians presented them and there were to be no partisun appointments such as disgraced Cleveland administration. This he has probably forgotten.

The Gas Well.

McLaughlin, the contractor, who for six mouths past has been tryiug to find natural gas in tlila locality, by drilling at the well north of the city, has finally abandoned the work, after settling up with the directors, and gone to Lafayette to engage in piping gas through the streets of that city. About six months have passed since he begun the work on the well. A depth of 1500 feet has been reached without as yet any indications of gas.. This well has been drilled to a depth of about 100 feet more than the well at the Junction. The cost of the labor heretofore done including drill, derrick, casing, etc., is about $2,800. If the money can be secured soon it is probable that the drill will be sent down 500 feet lower than at present.

A Flltliy Jail.

We found the cells and corridors in a filthy condition. A moro frequent and thorough use of the broom aud mop is suggested."

Harris stripped at 123 pounds and wore black tights, Clark tipped at 152 and won white tights. The ring was surrounded by about 100 men, a sprinkle from all classes of avocation lu the city. At 9:40 time was called and the referee announced that it was to be a ten round contest for points. The first round was heavy hitting by both and the three minutes was spent in punching each other's heads, HarriB being allowed first blood by a clean upper cut The second round opened rather cautiouBiy but they soon began to reach for each other and tho round ended by heavy hitting, both head and body, by both. Harris made a neatduck, when Clark fell, his seconds claimed a knockdown and It was allowed. Tho third round opened cautious but they Boon began to reach for each other and interchanged some neat taps in the face. Clark was rushing his man when hia glove came off. The round closed by a neat exchange in favor of Harris. The fourth opened by both seeming determined, and it was a rattling set-to, being give and take until Harris was forced against the ropes when they both worked for wind until time was called. The fifth was the most interesting of the contest as they kept the ball rolling until the close and both did some neat work. The sixth opened well but they soon got tired and neither seemed anxious till the close. Tho seventh opened well hut Harris was out of wind aud was forced around the ring at will. He had the uerve and staying qualities but it was seen that he could not hold out. The round closed by both being tired. Tne eighth opened by Harris coming to the center only to be met by Clark, who was now fresh and forced him to his corner, where a neat blow on the chin sent him to tho grass, strikiug his head and shoulders against some roota. He was belpod up but ou a repetition of the dose gave up the contest Harris showed his superior science at the beginning but had not tho weight to hold out. It was not a prize fight but a six-ounce glofe contest of ten rounds for points and was well worth seeing by lovers of this kind of Bport.
