The circumstances of the case are about as follows: Will DaviR is operator and agent at the Juuction and Dan Sullivan a clerk in the hotel. On Thursday the two were conversing when Mary Roach passed them In the house and the three good naturedly exchanged some bantering remarks. An old rusty revolver which had been laying around the house for more than a year was at the time on a table near Davie, and thinking to scare the girl, picked it up with the remark, "Now I'll do you up, Mary," at the sainsjttime pulling the trigger.

Death of Daniel Yount.
Uncle Dan Yount died at hi* borne In Yountsville, last Sunday morning at 3 o'clock, at the extreme old age of 88 years. Mr. Yount was probably the best known man in Montgomery county, having' been engaged In the manufacture of woolen goods in the village of Yountsville for more than fifty years. He was born in Warren county, O., 1807. In 1827 he come to Tippecanoe county, settling about five miles south of Lafayette on the Wea. In 1835 he removed to Attica, where in company with an elder brother established a woolen factory, remaining there until 1889, when he purchased a farm on which he lived about one year. Early in 1840 he removed to what is now Yountsville, erectiug in company with his brother, Allen, a small carding mill, which has since grown to its present proportions. April 30, 1830, Mr. Yount was married to Sarah Price. She died June, 19, 1878. Five cliilddren was the fruit of this union, four of whom Etill survive, Mrs. Jerre Townsley, Mrs. Jacob Troutman, Mrs. Whitehead, Andrew, and John M., deceased. Whole hours could be spent dwelling on the many virtues of Mr. Yount. As a man of charity his peer could not be found, and his loss will be sorely felt by the poor in his neighborhood, but his memory will always be dear to them. He led a buBy, useful and Christian life, and in his death the family Iobbs a kind and Indulgent father, and the county one of her best citizens. The funeral services occurred at the M. E. church in this city on Tuesday and was largely attended. The services were conducted by Revs. Switzer, Middleton, Loder, Buckler, Greene, ana Johnson. Gen. M. D. Manson also paid a tribute to his old friend and companion. The remains were interred in Oak Hill cemetery.
The Longs in Limbo.
The stealing of George Enoch's wheat Tuesday night was the cue for a general uprising in that neighborhood. The people Btrongly suBpicioned John A. Long and bis two bous, William and Charles, who until recently lived in that vicinity. Wednesday night Policemen Brothers and Connors, armed with search warrants and accompanied by Enoch, West, Myers and others, started for the present home of the Longs, southeast of Linden. After a short search of the premises a plow and harness were found which Myers identified as the ones stolen from him last spring. Another plow was also found which Tom WeBt recognized as one stolen from him about the same time. A quantity of wheat in the bulk was found in the house, but Enoch was not able to identify it as his had been in sacks. The Longs were brought to this city and lodged in jail. Thursday morning they were given a preliminary hearing and bound over in the sum of $200 each, James Long, ot New Market, going on their bonds.
Wants $2,000 Damages.
Miss Maggie Jones, through her next, best friend, Racliael Jones, has broughtsuit against Henry McCullough, son of Mike McCul'ough, a well-to.do farmer, living four miles east of the city, and asks that the court give her $2,000 as a compensation for the nervous shock, humiliation and mortification she sustained through an attack on her person made by said McCullough, some two weekB ago. Hurley & Clodfelter are prosecuting her claim, while McCullough is defended by W. M, Reeves. The origin of the trouble was published fn the Review at the time, but the true facts in the case will hardly bear publication.
Petty Thieves.
Much complaint is being made by peoplo both in the city and country over the loss of fruits and vegetables by thieves. This week one grape harbor in the west end was relieved ot some ten bushels of its luscious fruit, while several others suffered considerably. Jacob Beam, a farmer living southwest of Waynetown, is the possessor of a fine peach orchard. This year the yield was large, but three successive raids by thieves this week stripped the orchard of some sixty bushels of its fruit. Several other similar cases are reported, but we are waiting anxiously to chronicle the rapture of Bome of thtiBe miscreants.
New Market Natural Ga«.
New Market has been excited yiis week over the discovery of some natural gas nt that place. The discovery was made while digging for a well. A pipe was driven some seventy feet Into the earth in hopes ot obtaining water. At that depth gas commenced to tiow at a high rate of speed, and which, upon being ignited, made a brilliant illumination. It is supposed to be, however, what is termed marsh gas, and its permanency for the purpose of either light or heat is generally very doubtful, its supply not being near as extensive as gas obtained 800 or 900 feet below the the surtace.
The Board of commissioners passed an order this week allowing Dr. Owsley to borrow $2,500 on the credit of Franklin township to build school houses.
Mayor Carr, Clerk »Scott, and Conncilmen Jones and Scott were in Indianapolis Monday Inspecting the lire alarm system in that city with a view to duplicating it here.
Word reached here this week of the death of Michael Snyder, in Jacksonville, O., at the age of 90 years. Mr. Snyder was one of the pioneers of Montgomery county, and has a large number of relatives still living here.
The residence of Fred Sheetz, on south Walnut street, was entered by burglars last Wednesday night. After chloroforming the family, they relieved their victims of a gold watch and chain, a gold pen, and $109 in cash. No clue to the robliers.
The present term of court will be full of ginger. On the docket we find such cases as the Follick chicken stealing case, the Pettit case, and some fifteen or twenty divorce cases. There is a great treat hi store for the court room loafer this fall.
General Manager Black, of the L. N. A. it C. last week closod a contract for 5,000 tons of steePrails, weighing aixty-seven pounds per yard, 8,000 tons to be delivered this month, the remainder in October.

Is Life
Worth Living?
.. That depends upon the Liver, for if the Liver is inactive the whole system is out of order—the breath is bad, digestion poor, head dull or aching, energy and hopefulness gone, the spirits are depressed, a heavy weight exists after eating, with general despondency and /.•••••• the blues. The Liver is the housekeeper of the health and a harmless, simple remedy that acts like Nature, does not constipate afterwards or require constant taking, does not interfere with business, or pleasure during its use, makes Simmons Liver Regulator a medical perfection.
I have tested lta virtues personally, an4 know that for Dyspepsia, Biliousness and. Throbbing Headache, It is the best medicine the world ever saw. Have tried forty other remedies before Simmons Liver Regulator, and none of them gave mora than temporary relief, but the Regulator not only relieved but cured.

The New Organ,
Quite large numbers of people were drawn out in attendance at the Methodist church Ott Sunday iincning and evening to hear mudic from the larje new organ just plated iu tba building, fne organ is erected by a company of Moling LI., cost near $3,000, and is tba largest instrument of the kind ever seen in the city. The tones from it are loud, distinct and .• fill every space ot the auditorium of the church very easily. The performer, Falk, from Chicago, handles the keys very readily and' is doubtless a finished player upon it. Ho pronounces it a first class organ in evi,rv respect. But what would the old time MetliOL. o' .rty years ago think of an organ in the c.iui rn like a in hold up their hau ls iu horror at such an m-^%r novation, and would have ordered the in»lns^ ment takeu out at once, or would have. ono out themselves. But we lhe in an a^e if progross in the matter of music, we suppose, as well as In spiritual ideas, aud i."'j practices and beliefs of past ages cannot control those of the present day. There is scinetbiill^ over $300 due on the iustrmnent yet, but the.|#I??25v ledles having the organ fund In charge exoect*®-' to have the money remaining due on hand iu artiple time.
