J. H. Will Lift the Veil.

J. N. says says in ajiote: "Yes, I am opposed to the force bill on philosophical principles. 1 am no politician. I must look at the measure from a disinterested standpoint, taking truth, reason and principles of reconcilation between the North and South as a basis, I think I will martyr here a few days. In other words, sacrifice myself as a criminal on the altar of prejudice in order to do an act to scatter the force engendered by tho promulgation of my disinterested views. I wpuld be pleased to see the masses of the Republican party look at the force measure as many do, and especially as the brilliant and talented Col. J, B. McGullogh of the Globe Demucrat dees. It is useless for the Democratic party to vote at all if this bill becomes a law, with the politioal machinery arranged as it is, I will lift the veil at the oity ball in a few days: also in the Music Qall in the beautiful and enterprising city of Crawfordsville about Jan. SO. Greetings to all my friends."—St. Louis Louis Post Dispatch.

Judge Snyder Overrules Pettit's Motion For a Mew TrialThursday morning at 10 o'clock the court room was jammed to hear

Judge Snyder's ruling

on Pettit's motion for a new trial. At 10:3i the ex-minister entered from the rear corridor, looking the picture of health, and walked briskly across the room to where hla attorneys were seated, extending to each a hearty handshake.

After a call for order Judge Snyder begaa b) saying, "I do not think that it would serve any good purpose for the court to enter into an elaborate argument of the questions presented in ruling upon this motion. It is sufficient to say that I have examined tbe questions which are ef great force and power. I feel that there was no error committed at tho trial that was calculated to prejudice the substantial rights of the defendant." He spoke at some length on admitting the evidence contradicting the witness Switzer and terminated by saying:—"It is true looking at the question from one standpoint, one would say, that he was actuated to make the remark by bad feeling or ill will for the defendant but can be explained by giving the witness credit of having, no ill will for the defendant" He disposed of the new evidence that Mrs. Pettit was an habitual arseaic eater by the statement that if the witness who furnished tho evidence had been present at the trial she could not have testified, tbe evidence not being competent As to the aoint of errors occurring ia the Tippecanoe circuit conrt the Jadge said: "I agree with the counsel that tbe Tippecanoo county court has aright to strike out apart of an affidavit. The conrt could grant a new trial and remand the case to Tippecanoe county, but I apprehend tbe court would refuse to take any jurisdiction in the ease on the ground that there was an affidavit which entitled the defendant to a change of venne, and I see no way than to take the case to tho Supreme Court. The motion for a new trial is ovei ruled." Tbe defense gave notice of exceptions, and then made a motion that judgement be arrested, which was overruled. The Judge then read the verdict of the jury to the prisoner and asked him to state if he bad any legal cause why judgement should net be pronounced against him. In a clear voice Mr. Pettit responded: "It would be utterly useless for me. Your Honor, to enter into any extensive talk of any reasons. I will simply say this ah am innocent kan,"

The defense was then given 60 days iu which to get their evidence ready for the Supreme court

Sheriff McClaskey will take Pettit to the penitentiary on either next Monday or Tuesday.

Stolen Overcoats.

Tuesday evening while the boarders at the Burk boarding house on east Main street were eating snpper two tramps boldly walked into the hall and made way with two good overcoats belonging to George Abraham and Frank Erickson. On the diseovery ef their loss the feelings of these two gentlemen can better be imagined than described. The police were at once notified and a search for 'tlie guilty parties began, but as usual the police were unable te find anything more than a free lunch counter, which they can easily do without the aid of a city directory. Mr. Abraham,becoming disgusted with their actions decided to institute a bunt on his own hook. Repairing to the Junction he found ttaee tramps ready to board a south bound Vanaalia freight train, and on the shoulders of ne of the vagabonds gracefully rested his eagerly sought for overcoat All of the tramps seemed to take delight in flashing pistols, hence Mr. Abraham was afraid to tackle them. He at once telephoned for the police, but before these watch dogs appeared upon the scene, the train, tramps, overcoats and all had reached Terre Haute. Mr. Abraham is justly indignant over the actions of the police force and will make charges to tbe police board against tliem for neglect of duty.

BRUSH SPEAKS OUT.

It Was "Boodle," He Says, That (Caused Iadiaaa to go For Harrison. We always admire a frank man, a fellow that speaks out plainly his opinion on any sub* ject Bill Brush is just that style of a man. The republican state central committee met at Indianapolis this week to cuss and discuss political prospects. Brush was there and he spoke ont in the meeting. The Sentinel Bays:

When the Eighth district was called for views on the deplorable Siuto of the party W T. Brush, a prominent lawyer ef CrawfordsJJJJe, created a genuine sensation. Said he. "Gentlemen, you can talk about harmony and cheap newspapers and organization, but that will not restore us to power in Indiana. It is no use to deceive ourselves. There are more democrats in this slate than republicans. The only way we can win is by inducing democrats to vote our tieket Can we induce them to vote the republican ticket with cheap renubiicaa newspapers and lots of harmony? No.

But Boodle will do it Boodle did it iu 1880 and 1888, aud Boodle can do it in '92 gentlei&GD) if you can dovise 8®ine scheme to evadB the Australian election law which the democrats have adopted to protect them solve, a against our effective methods." "Ain't you givin' it to us pretty raw?" interrupted a Gresham man with a shrill.' roice "Ob, what is the nse of denying it gentle-

You all know that Indiana was carried

rr'8on

boodle," answered Brush.

Tbla was received rtith great aptflause.«'Yes: gentlemen,if we can't beat this new Australian law we cannot expect to win," he continued*

I do not know how it can be done. I admit that it is more than I can do. Now for chair* man, I want some man who

(s

smart enough

to find some way to use bondle in 1892, notwithstanding the election law. Who Is the man for the emergency?"

Bowerman's Broken Nose.

That Len Bowerman is still a resident of this terrestial sphere is no fault of his old blind horse. Monday Bowerman came to this city from his home near Alamo and im-V mediately proceeded to soak his hide witb' wife-whipping whiskey. Toward evening the Ripley townshipite was carrying a "jag" that caused him to totter as he walked. About this' time be hitched up bis old blind horse and started for home. Now, if there Is one thing a drunken man delights in doing it is that of seeing what speed his horse possesses, and Bowerman was n» exception to this rule, Amid the flourish of whips and yells he proceeded down Grant avenue at a break-neck speed, and on reaching the bridge over Dry Branch at the foot of cemetery hill, Len was in a quandry which of the spanning trestles he would take, and as Is usual in bis case of course took the* wrong one. In another moment horse, buggy and man were mingling as one down a ten foot embankment just west of the bridge. Miracueonsly the horse escaped with but few scratches but the bnf&y was crushed to atoms. Len fared fairly well, escaping with only a broken nose, which Dr^ ?K Hntchings kladly placed in in its proper po-™* sit ion. This should teach Bowerman a lesson, but will it?

Tom Ross was in Lafayette this week. Read A. D. Willis new advertisement iu another column.

George Grimes and John Talbert were up from Ladoga Wednesday. Miss Alice Van Slyke, daughter of W. VanSIyke, was married last week to Mr. S. c} Warriner at Nincoln, Neb.

It became necessary last Wednesday to call the police to move the loafers from the Moaon depot. That vicinity is truly one or the toughest places in the State, and is heartily in need of a thorough renovation {by the police.
