Early last winter for reasons known to himself, Russell left New Ross and camo to Covington shortly afterward the coy Lucy bundled her goods aud came also.

Mr. Kline can

lwilys

Being very careful to select men who were the most needy and would of necessity be forced to accept his condition ho drew up a contract which he demanded that each of his assistants sigu. Among other things this contract stipulated that each of his assistants should labor in his employ in consideration of $150 per day, thus netting for himself the neat sum of 50 cents per diem from each of them. Now, let us see what Maxwell's pet scheme will net him. He, of course, receives $2 per day for his (50 days work, or a total of $120. The labor of his sixteen assisstants, at 50 cents per day each for 00 days, equals $480, making a snug total of $000 for 60 days labor, Quite nice these hard times, and will go forward keeping the wolf from the door. We offer uo complaint from Mr. Maxwell making $10 or even $100 per day, but wo do not think it right that ho should so profit at the expense of his co-labor-ers. Next Tuesday is the day set for allowing these claims aud we appeal to Commissioners

Byers and Peterson to call a halt ou such work and thereby establish a precedent that will stand as a warning to future oflicials who are disposed to sell their official prestige. We appeal to you in behalf of the downtrodden poor to see that Mr. Maxwell geto his $2 per day allowed by law aud not one cent more and that each of high assistants receive their adequate dues. An anxious uublic awaits your actions iu the matter.

A Serious Accident.

"About noon Saturday the eight-year-old son of Albert Baker, attorney, who lives on Pennsylvania street, above i"ifth, was playing with other children in a vacant lot across the street from his father's residence. The grass in the lot is high and a carpenter working upon a building near by had picketed his horse in the lot. Tho children played games of various kinds, aud at last the lad Baker took a stick aud began to tickle the horse. The animal at this struck out suddenly, striking the lad with his hoof squarely in tho face. Dr. W. B. Fletcher was called and pronounced his face and noon broken, and Dr. J. L. Thompson, tho oculist, pronounced one eye wholly destroyed. The other is injured, though with a slight hope remaining that the sight may he preserved.—Indianapolis Journal.

The unfortunate lad is a grandson of Prof. J. L. Campbell, of this city, and usually spends his vacation here.

IS IT RIGHT?

That Assessor Maxwell Should Sell His Deputyships to the Lowest Bidder

A Feat In Shylockism Without a Parallel In the History of the Conmty—A Very Sleek Scheme Ezposed.

One of the most neauseating acts of officialship in the history of Montgomery county was brought to light this week in the Township Assessor office. Frank L. Maxwell, by right of a popular vote, is at present filling thlBoffice in Union towaship and is vested with power to select his own deputies. The pay of these deputies is regulated by common law which plainly states that an assessor and his deputies shall each receive the sum of $2 per day for time actually employed in the work. In thit township heretofore the Assessor and from six to ten deputies have performed the labor within the specified time required by law, but this year, being a busier year poBsibly, Mr.Maxweil doubled his force and employed some Bixteen assistants. That there was motive iu this madness will be shown farther on. Work being exceedingly scarce and times hard this spring, of course, when the time arrived for selecting these deputies Mr. Maxwell was over run with applicants for positions aud right here, probably, his brain gave birth to his neat little scheme. Seeing the despondent condition of his fellowmen under this glorious high tariff administration his quick wit readily devised a plan whereby he could hire these poor men, whom he knew were forced to work or starve, at a figure much less thau that allowed by law and convert the balance to his own exchequer.

That Forgod Order.

A few woeks ago mention was made in these columns of John S. Brown having lost $285 through a forged order for lumber belug presented to him by a strange woman. The order was from one of the buyers in Fountain county aud appeared geuuhe and was promptly paid by Mr. Brown. A few days later he received an anonymous letter notifying him thatthe order was ii forgery. The matter was quickly placed in tho hands or the police who at once began work to Tenet out tho guilty party. Last week Mr. Brown thought he had sufficient evidence to warraut the arrest of Mrs. Henerietta Kendall, of near Jackville. LastSunday in response to a letter from Mr, Brown, Mr. and Mis. Kendall arrived iu tho city where they were confronted with the evidence. Strongly they|declared their iunocence,MrBKendall nvering that she never saw Mr. Brown before. Ou the contrary Brown was positive

Mrs, Kendall was the woman to whom he cashed the order, aud casually mentioned that all he aBked was the return of the money and prosecution should not follow. Mr. Kendall here interposed by saying that he would pay Mr. Brown the sumot $2l5 rather than have lititation over the matter but that he and his wife were perfectly innocent of the charge. Wednesday Mr. and Mrs. Kendall were again iu the city aud paid tho money over to Mr. Brown. Persons living iu tho vicinity of Jackville very generally do not beliove the couple guilty, but say Mr. Kendall is a good easy going man who would rather sacrifice all his property rather than stand such a disgraceful trial iu court.

Sheriff's Bond.

Mr. John P. Bis.o, sheriff elect will uext week submit his bund to the commissioners. The following gentlemen all residents of Coal Creek, are on tlm bond: Geo. Washburn, Stowe Detchon, Win, Groves, Daniel Ebrite, Thos. Foster, Daniel Curtis, G. \V. Alexander, Henry Long, D. R. Black, B. A. Archey, S. K. Marrinder, John T. Long, 'm W. Utterback, Benj. Swank, Jos. S. Henry, T. S. Pattou, Win. Thomas. The sheriff is required to give bond for only $5,000, but Mr. Hible considered while giving bond, it might as well bo a good strong one, and this ono represents, at least $300,000. Mr. II. does not take charge until lato the summer, but for deputies has selected the following persons: Cilice, Jos. S Henry court room bailiff, James Brennen riding bailiff, Grant Agnew jail, Lew Brauuon.

Nathan Graves, W. P. Champion, Ike Irwin, Calvin Saxe, Charlie Motrison aud MiBs Belle Weliver were arraigned before tho mayorThursday morning charged with disturbing concert given by A. Lam Moore at Campbell's Chapol last week. The hoys all pleaded guilty and were fined anu costod $14 each. Tho case against Miss Weliver was dismissed at the request of tho prosecution.
