The democrats have a superb city ticket in the field. There is not a man on it but who is qualified for the position named.

Monon Wreck.

A freight train south bound on the Monon railway, met with a very disastrous wreck about 1 o'clock Friday morning at the the bridge crossing Sugar Creek, north of town. The truck of a freight car flow off the rail near the middlo of the bridge, and six other cars following it were mashe I up into kindle wood. Four of the cars remaining on the bridge while three were thrown off and lie on the grade just north of the bridge. The cars were loaded with lumber, but none of it was lost or injured and was transferred to others cars. The bridgo was badly damaged but the most substantial part of it remains untact, and it is probable that the repairs upon it will be completed today in time for the passage of trains to-mor-row. The loss to the company by the disaster will be several thousand dollars. No person was injured, although a number were on the train as the time. *Ve

Miss Charlotte Thompson is of charming presence and gifted by nature with rare talent She is most undoubtedly in the foremost ranks of the artistic world.

Her action is free and graceful, and she possesses a depth of sentiment and passionate energy which gives vivid reality to every motion. At times the baa also vivacity and archness, and all the bouyant and electric spirit of glowing genius.—New York Herald. Musla Hall, April 12. v" rA.," "f

A New Railroad Scheme.

It is known that Col. Lee iB now engaged in working up anew railway called the "N, Y.t Ft. Wayne aud Chicago railroad," which is intended to connect on a shorter and more direct line than any other, the two great cities oJt New York and Chicago, by a saving in distance of more than one hundred miles, aud it is reported that this company also intends to extend one branch of their road from some point on their main line to St. Louis thus bringing those great commercial centers into more direct and easy connection over oue system of roads, with but oue management throughout. If this can be done it will readily be seen that it will altiinately become one of the most important system of roads in this country, that, being the fact, what is to hinder Crawfordsville from securing the St, Louis branch? It is known that there is now beiug built a branch line from Akron, Ohio, to Del phos, a distance of about 180 miles which is pointing directly in this direction. Let any one take a map and find Akron and there trace a line almost due South-west to Delphos, O., aud thence to New Corydau, in Jay county, Indiana, aud from there in the same general direction to Pennville, Hartford city, iu Blackford county Fairmont, in Grant county Tipton, county seat Tipton county Kirklin, iu Clinton county Thorntown, iu Boone county Shannondale, Crawfordsville, Yountsville and

Alamo in Montgomery county Jackville, Fountain county Newport, Vermillion county, and thence to St. Louis via. Paris, III., and this will disclose one of the best possble lines that could be adopted by this great trunk line, a part of which is now completed, and work on other portions will, as we understand, he pushed forward this year. Then why should not all the points named take hold at onceand make a united effort to secure this important lino of road? Col. Lee has been over tho field aud examined it pretty carefully, both iu New York and along the line, aud be thinks that there is a fair chance for us to secure this road. If that can be done and then secure the machine shops at Crawfordsville, we might soou have a boom here that would astonish the oldest inhabitants. This lino of road would not only connect us with the great cities, but would furnish a shorter and hotter route to the lakes than the Clover Leaf ir.iiroad and would also pass through tha center of thegreatgas and oil belts, botii in Indiana and Ohio as well as over some of the richest and must valuable coal fields iu Indiana and Illinois. It might be well for our business men's association and the citizens in general to look a little after this railroad enterprise aud not let us get scooped as we did with the Clover Leaf on the one side and the Midland on the other, both of which could have been secured at Crawfordsville with a well directed and au intelligent effort on the part of her citizens. It is well to be alive to what is going on around us, and if we can profit by this movement, let us do so.

Monday night, near the hour of 9 o'clock, a wood house attached to the residence of Elmer Marsh, on North Washington street near the Jail, was discovered on fire. Prompt work in the use of water soon extinguished the flames. Indications point to the cause of the fire as the work of an incendiary, coal oil being detected on the weather-boarc ing of tho house and a broom found near by, being saturated with it, and with which it is supposed the oil was thrown upon the boards. Tlieg buildin was the property of Mrs. Crabbs.
