The school enumeration of Unio& township has been completed and shows that there are in Union township, outside of Crawferdsville, 2,576 children of school age, 1,358 boys and 1,218 girls, an increase of 275 over last year.

Next week Mrs, Julia Karle leaves for as extended visit to Germany. In honor of the event, the lady was tendered quite a pleasant surprise by her many friends on Wednesday night at her home, corner of Washington and Spring streets. The evening was very pleasantly spent and will long be remembered by th«Be present.

It is said that when little Harry Moran fell under the Big Four tram last Tuesday, he was enjoying the effects of fifteen glasses of beer, that it is the custom of a gang of young fallows in that vicinity to congregate at the beer dn^ot there daily and quaff the flowing lager and then have a high old time under its exhileratiag effects. Th:s place will bear looking into by tbe next grand jury.

A couple of our fly young girls started Thursday night to do up the city. After making tbe r»uuds of the saloons up town they hired a horse and buggy aud went to the Valley to visit John Kliaber and to pani»h what booz therein remaiued. Marshal Ensminger was quickly upon their trail and was soon in the classic precincts of that ab.ode #f sin. On entering the portals in front Marshal Ensminger was surprised and not a little chagrined to see the girls making a haBty exit in the rear. Not to be completely foiled Eustninger made a swoop on the horse and buggy and rode to towa leaving the girls to walk and as they were able to serve breakfast next morning they were evidently a little the worse off for their long tramp.

The Boss Liar.

The following from the St. Louis Republic entitles the writer to the chair of Boss Liar in the "Ananias aud Saphira" Club: "A curious accident which resulted in nothing but good recently befel little Joel Coppage, the ten year old son of L. J. Coppage, a prominent attorney of Crawfordsville. The lad, together with several companions, was engaged in play around the Van Cleave mineral springs which are adjacent to the city. While bathed in a profuse perspiration little Joel suddealy lost his balance while running around the cement ledge of a large sulphur spring, and was precipitated into the water which was some eight feet in depth. The boy was rescued mora dead than alive and was only recuscitated with great difficulty. When he was finally brcagbt around it was discovered that in his sudden bath with the pores of his skin opea, that the sulphur with which the water was stroagly impregnated, had entered tbe pores and deposited as a sediment, giving tbe boy's face a striking resemblance to an old-fashioned yellow pumpkin. Tbe doctor gave it as his verdict that the child's appearance would not change until the skis were off, and so, indeed it proved. The strangest part remains to be told. Before the accideat the lad's face was as freckled as a turkey's egg, but since the sul ph ure tod skin has peeled off, it is as beautifully pink and white asauy lady's and is the envy of all tbe girls who see him. The outceae of master Joe! Coppage's bath has caused a mighty furore aud all the freckled damsels in the region round about are carrying off th water by the barrels full to make personal tests of its beauty bestowing qualities

SHOT HIMSELF.

Charles Cockafair, Disgusted With His Weakness. Ends His Life With a Pistol Shot. Last Saturday evening at ti o'clock Charle Cockafair oommltted suicide by shooting himself with a 88-caliber revolver, the ball passing entirely through his body.

Cockafair, together with several companions, attended tbe horse show in this city. While here he imbibed quite freely in that which intoxicates and became very noisy on the streets. In company with Sanford Hipes he boarded tbe 5 o'clock train for his home in Mace. On his walk from Lynnstmrg to Mace Hipes experienced some trouble in getting him to his home. Several times he implored Hipes to go on by himself that he might go into the woods and sleep. Hipes refused and finally got Cockafair to his home at which place Hipes left him. Entering tbe house Cockafair said to his wife: "Oh! I'm so sick. Can't you live without uieV I'm no good and wish I was dead." His wife spoke soothingly to him and advised him to go luto the room aud rest awhile and he would feel better. At this Mrs. Cockafair went Into the yard. She had hardly left the house when she was startled by the loud report of a revolver. Suspecting tbe worst she ran into the house finding her husband lyng on the bed apparently in no pain but with a bullet hole entirely through his body, the ball entering just above the left nipple, immediately above the heart. In ten minutes he was a corpse. He was 30 years old and leaves a wife and one son ten years old. He was head sawyer in the Mace saw mill, an industrious inau but somewhat addicated to the liquor habit. Being unable to control this passion seemed to weigh heavily upon his mind and to thiB cause Is attributed bis rash act. The fuueral occurred at 10 o'clock Mouday morning, Rev. Bowman officiating. Interment in the Odd Fellow's cemetery in this city.

A FATAL ACCIDENT.

Thomas Dobson, the Shoe Maker, Meets an Untimely Death by Falling Into a Cistern. Away back in the fifties a little wooden sign was suspended from a frame building on Market street which read "T. Dobson, Boot and Shoe Maker" Being a hard-working, sob«r and industrious man he grew and prospered with our thrifty little city and the building is to-day one of tbe few remaining landmarks of pioneer days. In this same building Mr, Dobson raised a family of industrious childreu, and on the grounds which he improved and spent so many happy days he met quite a tragic death.

Last Sunday morning, as was his wont, Mr. Dobson arose about 5 o'clock a. m., and began working on some necessary repairs about the premises. At 5:30 he was seen carrying some wood into the house and this was last seen of him until 7 o'clock, when his lifeless body watt discovered by his wife and daughter floating in the cistern. There was three feet and eipht inches of water in the cistern aud he was found in a half stooping posture with the to of hia head out of water. The general supposition is, that while examining the cistern for leaks, he lost his balance and fell into the cavity head first, striking the bottom with sucli force as to stun himself and drowning ere he revived. The theory is further substantiate'! by the fact that the top of the cistern is but eighteen inches in diameter and that he forced bis head and shoulders through the aperture to search for the cracks which were known by him to exist in the walls. Resting his weight with one band on some bricks in the casement they suddenly gave way, precipitating hiin into the water. The bricks were found within the cistern and the Tact that one hand was muddy aud the other clean makes the theory all the more tangible. This does away with the theory of suicide. Although a cripple Mr. Dobson was enjoying good health and was not a poor man financially. His family relations wore very happy, and those who knew him best say he was a devoted father and husband. Mr. Dcbson leaves a wife and four children, Joe aud Sarah living in this city, while Henry is a prosperous sign writer in the State of Washington. George, another sign writer, in a fit of anger some years ago, left home and has uever been heard from, and the supposition is that he is dead. The burial took place on Tuesday afternoon at Oak Hill cemetery. No religious services were held.

A CLCSE CALL.

Little Harry Moran Comes Near Meatin Death Undor a Big Four Train, Tuesday morning about teu o'clock little Harry Moran met with probably a fata! accident as the Big Four crossing ot Mills street near the Junction. For sometime the lad who is but twelve years of age, bas beeu in the hauit of jumping on trains in that viciuity. Last Tuesday morning when the Big Four local pulled in Harry attempted to board it but in some manner missed his hold and fell under the wheels. His accident was witnessed by the engineer who quickly stopped the train. Ou going to his assistance LIIB head was found to be lightly wedged between the rail and wheel aud tbe train had to be backed before he was released. The boy was taken to tbe residence of Frank Bircbtield and Drs. Jones and Ensminger summoned, who at once pronounced the case fatal, the skuli being frightfully crushed. The hoy is the son of the late Pete Moran and his mother resides iear the Junction with a family of small children. During Tuesday night tbe boy showed a noted improvement, contrarj to the expectations of the physicians, and Dr. Ensminger now stat69 that unless inliamation sets in the boy will recover. As it is it was a close call and should he pull through he has learned a lesson that will follow him to the grave.
