The following special to the Indianapolis Sentinel of Thursday is self explanatory.

There will be indignation among taxpayers of Tippecanoe county when they learn that Judge Harney of Montgomery county has allowed Anderson of Crawfordsville and Harwood of Tippecanoe $2,000 more for services in the Fred Pettit wife-poiBoning case. This fact was not known until to-day, when the order was presented directing the auditor of Tippecanoe to draw his warrant in favor of Montgomery county for $2,000. Anderson and Haywood were the prosecutors, and this allowance ia supposed to be for briefing the case. Auditor Byers will most likely be mandated before he will draw the warrant, unless the commissioners instruct him to do BO.

Last December the commissioners paid the attorneys for the defense $5,000 for their services in full.

The Midland wil Pool 'Em. Harry Crawford, general .manager and high cockolorum ex officio, was in the city yesterday, and when asked by a Herald reporter if the C. & S. E. wonld go through to Muncie this year he said: "Well, 1 guess not—they did not vote us the subsidy, and when we said it wouldn't be built unless the subsidy was voted we meant it. Several people thought it was only a bluff on our part, and it would go through, subsidy or ao. They are mistaken, and unless Salem township reconsiders her verdict on the matter, the road will continue to have its eaBtern terminuB in this city."

Middletown is now after the road. This would take it around Salem township, and should a subsidy be voted it is highly probable that the road will go to Muncie via that point.—Anderson Herald.

Tough on the Boy8-

The Washington correspondent of the Indianapolis News says: "Around the Heilman House, the headquarters ef the Indiana office-seekers, to-day the silence was so dense you could have pared it with a knife. It was all on account of the President's order denying himself to office-seekers. Among the Hoosiers who were in Washington when the cannon went off, as one of them expressed it, were the following: C. W. Cunningham, Crawfordsville Dr. Pitzer, Tipton Henry Mellon, Booneville Judge Lowry, Ft. Wayne L. A. Kirkwood, Muncie Elliott Bowman, Covington Captain Archer, Spencer. Most of them will take the President's advice and go home."

Good Bye, Mr. Vanehn.

Johnson J, Vaughn, that great and good man from Darlington, has left us, disappeared almost as completely as though swallowed up by the earth. Vaughn was taken to Rockville some days ago on a change of venue to be tried for arson, claimed to have been committed at Darlington. Last week an error was discovered in the transcript and the court decided it had no jurisdiction. On the strength of this Johnson was turned loose. Since that time no one has heard of his whereabouts and it is greatly feared that Vaughn has shaken Montgomery county soil from his feet (or good.
