Saved From a Living Tomb.
The following dispatch from LaPorte to the Cincinnati Enquirer last Thursday recited quite a thrilling incident in the life of Rev. E. R. Johnson, who for the past two years had charge of the Methodist circuit northwest of the city, but who at the last conference was removed to Rolling Prairie, In LaPorte county: "Rev. Johnson, a Methodist minister, stationed at Rolling Prairie, this county, in conversation with some friends here gave an account of a narrow escape he once had from being burba alive. He was located Lafaye'te some twenty years ago, when he was taken very sick. He lingered for along time, but bis life was despaired of by his friends, and finally, to all appearances, he died. Preparations were made for the funeral, and in due tune the body was placed a casket and was awaiting burial. At this time Rev. Joyce (now Bishep Joyce) came into the room to look at the remains. He failed to close the door after him, and shortly after his entrance a gust of wind blew it shut with a force that caused quite a loud noise. He was looking intently at the features of the supposed dead friend whon the noise occurred, and, I© his great astonishment, lie plainly saw the eyes of the man in fhe coffin nervously move.
This led to a hurried investigation and to the discovery that the man was still alive. The work of restoration was begun at once, which resulted in bis complete recovery. Rev. Johnson feels that h^s owes his almost miraculous rescue from the horrors of being buried .alive to the visit and observation of his friend,

A Horrible Death.
One of the saddeBt deaths that has occurred in this county for many years was that of little Charley Miller, the five-year-old son of James Miller, a prominent farmer living four miles south of New Richmond. Charley, who was a noble little fellow, had been taught to assist his mother in the little affairs about the home, his especial charge being the care of the chickens. For more than a year it had been his delight to feed his chicks regularly, every night and morniug, thus removing the care entirely from tiis mother's shoulders. Last Monday evening about 4 o'clock, as usual, he started for the barn to perform this duty. The feed was in a erainery, iu the opening of which was used heavy oak boards which were raised and lowered through gutters on either side. This opening was a little too high for the little fellow to reach from the floor and he was in the habit of standing upon a small box. Climbing on this box the boy raised the heavy slab and inserting his head and arm made au effort to reach the teed. In some manner the box slipped, 'noseniug Irs hold on the slab, which descended heavily on the child's neck, leaving him suspended in tl.o air, Iu this position the child was found 1 his mother, au hour Inter, but life was fully extinct, having been slowly choked to death.
His arnas and legs were horribly bruised, in his frantic efforts to extricate himself. The father and mother a almost crazed with grief. Tho funeral occurred on Wednesday from Liberty church aud was largely attended.

Good-Bye, John.
John Weidle, chief of the Crawfordsville fire department, has been decapitated. That new $60 suit will now have to be shor of its gold braid trimming. No more will this glittering raiment dazzle the eyes and tickle the vanity of the average Crawfordsvillian as he points with pride aud exclaims to nis visiting friend, "behold eur gilt-edged hero!" All is laid low, and through the treachery of his own party. John Weidle has made a good chief, has added dignity and decorum to the department, and through his untiring efforts was secured the best fire alarm system in Indiana and his reward for such service is a summary dismissal, verging 011 the disgraceful. This la republicanism. Weidle holds a two years written contract with the city as chief of the firo department. This contract dates from June 4, 18'.t0, and according to it he has one more year to serve. Weidle now very justly threatens 10 bring suit for breach of contract, and if ho does it will likely put the city to quite a great deal of expense. The newly elected chief is O. C. Dorsey, ex-assistaut chief, a mail in every way thoroughly fitted for the position. Here's to the now chief!
Bennatt's Trial.
The trial of Geo. Bennett who killed two men at Lafayette last October is now in progress in the Circuit Court of Tippecanoe county.

The trial attracts much attention aud is attended by large crowds of people.

Striking for Their Wages.
At three of the stations in this county through which the Midland railway passes and at stations farther east the employees of that line have struck for ther pay and have prevont" traius aside from the mail from moving in either direction. The managers of the road seem to be judging from reports, very promising men, in fact it is mostly promises with little money. A son of Crawford, the owner of the tine, was in town this week to aim to have information filed against the strikers, but it did 110 good, the officers refusing to have anythiug to do with the affair. Whenever Crawford cau unload thts very unprofitable pioco of property on to some other corporation thea may affairs look brighter,for the Midland, but not until tl»on nothing better can be looked far as strikes for pay among the employees have occurred a half dozen times within the past two years.
A Narrow Escape,
The two hack loads of young men who went out to Asher Wert's place last Snnday to spend the day came near meeting with a fatal accident. When tho two heavily ladeued hacks reaehedtbe long hill leading to Towusley's ford they were close together, and wiion tlioy began the descent it was found that the brake 011 the rear hack would not work and iu a moment tho team was rushing madly down the hill. The driver of the front' vehicle, seeipg the danger, was forced to drive for their lives, and amid the screams of the passengers, the two hacks dashed in the waters of Sugar Creek: the horses of the rear hack falling in the stream. The occupants were vory fortunate to esoane with their lives, forbad either hack been turned over a terrible loss of life would have followed.
Br yfogle Talks.
Dr, flreytogle 11, an interview at Louisville regarding his resignation asassistant to tho president of the Monon railroad, says: "I have not severed iny connection wKhtbeMouon as I am still a director and i....inber of tho executive committee. The oftke of assistant to the president of the road was only created for the purpose of enabling certain mattors to be concluded, and being simply clerical, as a matter of course, I would uotthiuk of retaining it permanently. The Crawford charges had nothing whatever to do with my resignation, the board of directors refusing to consider them as absolutely false and extremoly frivolous. The board of directors after accepting my resignation passed resolutions exceedingly complimentary to me."
