Don't send us obituary notices beyond ten lines at the furthest if you desire them published. o":

Arre*t of Rev. Pettlt.

As is now known to every person almost Rev. Pettlt, the Methodist minister, lately of Shawnee Mound, Tippecanoe county, was arrested last week at Columbus, Ohio, on the charge heretofore made of poisoning his wife, a portion of her stomach having been disinterred, and an analysis showing considerable quantities of strychnine. The Lafayette Journal then narrates tho particulars of his arrest at Columbus. The Deputy placed the requisition and warrant in the hands of the Chief of Police of Columbus, who in turn employed a detective to make the arrest He was wearing the badge of private detective and complains of his treatment He laid in the Columbus jail Thursday night on a hard floor without comfort or blanket They left Columbus Friday morning. Mr. Pettit's wrists were mancled. From Richmond he sent a telegram to Coffroth & Stewart and Col. R. P. DeHart, engaged them as his counsel. Col. DeHart met him on the way to Lafayette and was in close consultation the remainder of the way. John Sherwood and a number of prominent Masons were on tho train and finally succeeded in persuading Mr. Graves to remove the bracelets from Mr. Pettit's wrists. Mr. Pettit denied the charge made against him but did not speak much of the case. His Masonic friends sought to cheer him but he didn't seem to need it, his face showing less emotion than theirs. He was anxious to have his preliminary hearing at once and ex^essed a desire to press his case as rapidly as possible. He has secured an excellent counsel and that indicates a strong fight When bis case comes to trial it will be one of the most celebrated ever held in this county. Prosecutor Haywood has not selected assistant counsel, but it Is thought that John B. Milner will assist him.

•\*-'-.v Collision oil the Van. One of the saddest accidents that ever occurred on the Vandalia railroad, was the collision of ihe north bound local freight,and the work train on a curve.south of Dooley's station Tuesday. The blame is attached to conductor Frank Campbell and engineer Edward Tritt of the work train. They were running at a rapid rate and bad forgotten of the time of the local until too late. Their engine was going backwards and was badly demolished, for had any one remained on It, they would have been killed. Frank Furguson, of this city, was on the engine and only saved his life by jumping. The Weal crew all escaped except the fireman Martin Breckner, Vho was caught just as he was in the act of jumping and fatally,-crushed. He lived at Logansport and leaves a wife and four children. A brakenian who was on the engine was thrown out of the window. Acting Coroner Coppage went to the Bcene and held Conductor Campbell and Engineer Tritt for criminal carelessness under $&K) bond, Frank Furguson, of this city, going on their bond. Several cars were demolished, three flat cars running over the work train engine. FrankSCampbell has many friends In this city who regret his misfortune. He is a noble young man wty could be trusted if fuy one could, and has Sever given the'com ?*ay any trouble before. His habits are the b'est, his acts commendable,and if he be to blame for the sad accident, we can only say his past record obliterates much of the charge.

The Other Sido.

The city school board say that in regard to the assertion that local dealers of coal can furnish the article for the school buildings, and lower than the oporators at Brazil do, or give more satisfactory rates, there is'nothing in them. The buildings up to three or four years ago were furnished with coal by local dealers, but the present plan is much more satisfactory and more economical, the board considers. They demand both for cleanliness and health the best quality of Brazil block coal, and the contract amounts to probably $1,000 for coal from September to April of each school year. The dealers here cannot possibly, the board thinks, furnish the coal of the quali ty demanded, lower than Is now paid, judging from past experience in that line.

The Alamo Corrcspondeu,!.

FOR THE RKVIEW: We noticed in the letter to the REVIEW last week from Alamo that the writer seemed to take pleasure in putting all things In a bad ligfit either from the lack "of something to write, or because of natural tendency to see things in an evil coloring. Several things from his pen bore the linger marks of the enemy of truth, and especially concerning the "toughs"who "attended the dance." Not so, say I! But as we have reason to believe that the writer was one of the number, we are willing to take his word in that one particular, but sorry to know that he thought it contagious, and consequently infected the entire assembly.

Accidental Shooting,

Wednesday afternoon Charles Ellis, a highly respected young man, In company with John Stull, were hunting rabbits In the vicinity of his home three miles southwest of Waynetown. Ellis saw a squarrel and shot at It, when It started through a corn field, both of the boys ran after It and by some means Stall's gun was discharged, the contents of the barrel entering the fleshy part of Ellis' leg, mangling it in a horrible manner. He was taken to bis home and lingered until evening when he died. Young Stull is not btanied with the accident, as It was purely accidental, and no one regrets it more than he does.

Obituury.

Lizzie E. Dewey, daughter of PhilliptDewey, was born March 4,1873, died December 8, 1889, aged sixteen years, nine months and four days. Funeral services by Rev. L. C. Shanklin, of Linden. In the death of Lizzie, our community has sustained a sad loss. It the good die young, we cannot wonder at Lizzie being taken away in the morning of life. She gave her heart to God and joined the Methodist church at New Richmond, January 1888, and has ever since lived a pure, exemplary, Christian life.
