The Election Contest.

The suit of John P. Bible to set aside the election of Charles K. Davis to the oflice of Sheriff was began before the county commissioners Thursday morn-, ing. Mr. Bible is represented by Chas. Johnston, Wright & Sellar, Jcro West and J. R. Courtney, the defendant by Brush & Snyder and A. B. Andarson. The morning was occupied in preliminaries and it was almost noon when the Clerk brought in the sacks containing' the disputed ballots. The work began ith the tirst precinct ill Coal Creek township which contained nothing but one unstamped ballot. The second precinct was passed for the time.

third contained two ballots, one of which had been stamped in the democratic square and the People's, and the other in the democratic square and the other just outside the People's square. Tho remainder of the day was taken up in opening of sacks and the swearing of inspectors and the leal work will not begin until this morning.

Very similar ballots were cast in Ripley. Scott, Madison, Franklin, Walnut and Union townships all of which bore evidence of tho voter's intention to cast straight democratic rotes, but nono of which had been counted. In precinct No. 4 Union township, the tally sheet had strong "symptoms" of haying been tampered with. When the returns were sent in to the canvassing board, certified to by both judges and inspectors p.nd revised by both clerks, the tally sheet showed that Davie had received 89 votes yet when the canvassing board reviewed the tallies the sheet showed five more votes for Davis than had been credited him in the totals and were consequently counted for him. Mr. Sidener, the democratic clerk, swore positively that it was impossible for both clerks to make such a mistako, when they had revised their counts so carefully.

At this point the plaintiff began introducing testimony in regard to illegal votes. The sisters of Oscar Waite testified that Oscar left for some point in Illinois nearly three years ago and did not return until a week before the election.

Mrs. Powell testified that Dr. R. A. Bailey had broken up housekeeping in May before the election and moved to Indianapolis, yet ho cast his vote here. It is hardly possible that tho evidence will all be gotten in today, and the conclusion will scarcely be reached before next Tuesday. Mr. Bible has a strong case and has every reason to be hopefu'..

College Trustees Meeting.

The trustees of Wabash College held their seini-annual meeting Thursday in Yandes Hall. The gathering was large, oniy five of the board being absent and these becase of uraroidabie busiues detentions. Important matter, relative to the present and future, of the college were considered. The raising of the £30,000 required in order to the securing of other $30,000 through the munificence of Mr. Simon Yandes was announced to be completed and the endowment of the college is thus increased to $50,000. A committee was appointed to co operate with the library committee of the faculty in the matter of re-arrangine and re-cataloguing tho library and other wise making it more efficient. Tho movement extending to the Alumni a voice in the government of tho college was favorably acted upon and a committee was appointed to put the new plan in operation at the next election of trustees. Arrangements were also made regarding tho inauguaration of president Burroughs at the coming commencement. It is understood that other important business was transacted which the board does not as yet announce.

More Bnrelaries.

Crawfordsville is infested with a gang ef local burglars. Every three or four months a dozen or more residences and business houses are robbed in rapid succession, and that, too, almost under the eyes of the police. Last Friday and Saturday nights the store of McClure & Graham was entered and several dollars taken, Monday night Bischof's bazaar waB entered by climbing through tho sky-light and dropping a distance of some fifteen feet to tho floor below. All the cash in the money drawer amounting to about $15, waB taken but nothing else was disturbed. They aext paid a visit to the store of Barnhill. Ilornady & Pickett and secured $6. Just how they gained access here is not known as the windows were all barred and the doors locked the same as they had been left the night previous. Colman & Murphy, the tailors, wore the next victims. An easy entrance was effected by breaking a pane of glass in one of tho back windows. Aside from confiscating a few paltry dollars from tho cash drawer nothing was disturbed. Tho thieves seems to crave nothing but cash, and so long as they continue thiB lino of action it will be hard to detect them.

ASKING A DONATION 01 $10,000.

Oo-Edticatiou the Condition on Which it is Given. Wabash Collego through its president aud other officials of that institution was before the Commissioners this week asking a donation of 810,000 from the county. Some months since Mr. Simon Yandes of Iudianapolis, who had previously given a largo sum to tho college, offered to make a further donation of $30,000, if the friends of the institution would contribute a liko sum, the entire amount to be raised by Dec. 15th last Thursday. About, $20,000 had been subscribed during the past two months by various individuals here and in different portions of the State, several persons contributing $500 each, but not enough was guaranteed to meet that to be given by Air. Yandes, and the officersjof tho College considering the vaBt benefit the college has been to the county for years past wisely determined to aBk the county to contribute tho sum of $10,000. President Burrougli, Prof. Campbell, J. H. Ristino and others made addresses to the Commissioners, which were both logical and convincing. The Commissioners after thinking over the matter until next morning decided to donate the amount asked with the proviso that the institution adopt Co-edu-cation and permit the instruction of young women within its walls.

ThiB

was ajproviso totally unlooked for by the college people. It has been a principlo with this institution to rigidly cschew anything Jooking to co-education. Not an instructor nor trustee is known to* favor it, and its representatives have seemed to glory in the fact that it was onejof the few institutions in the west ttffit was conducted for men only. After a free and full discussion all around it was finally decided to accept the donatio^ under tdo conditions in which it is m&do, and tho entire $30,000 may bo considered as given. The donantion is bo given in non interest bearing bonds. The first should be for $4,000 and would bo idue June 15,1894. The second

i&

to

be for $6,000 and bo due January 1J, 189(3. The sec nd of these donds should be payable-only on tho condition that, at the tinoo of its being due, Wabash College should have its doors open to the admission of ladies.

Hurt in a Runaway.

Wednesday afternoon while Miss Edna Dice and her two Bmall Bisters were crossing the Big Four railroad on Grant avonue in a surrey their horse became frightened and ran away. When near the croamcry the horso turned suddenly to tho sidewalk, tho surroy striking the tree with a crash. All the occu pants were thrown out upon tho ground and undor the demolished vehicle. Fortunately the two children escaped with scarcely a bruiso. Miss Edna fared much worse, sustaining injuries, while necessarily fatal, will confine her to the house for several days.

The Soreen Ordinance PasseS. At a meeting of the city council Monday night the screen ordinance was passed by a vote of four to one, Messers. Myers, Vanarsdaii, Smith and Reynolds voting in favor' of it and Tomlinson against it.
