Commenting on the Majors-Darnall tragedy the Jamestown Journal sayB: "We have (leamed'since that she was deceived from beginning to end. Darnall proposed that they would go to North Salem, take the train for Illinois and get married. Tne idea of going to Darnall's farm was to change horses so that no one would know how they had gone. It is believed that tibe was chloroformed, for she did not know what transpired from the time they arrived at Darnall's farm until she

The Covington Friend says that they do not want George Kennoodle, one of the Crawfordsville toughs who attended the Covington fair and who was overtaken and arrested by Sheriff Moore on his way home for stealing a pair of shoes from Schuyler Hall, had his trial in the circuit court last Friday, which resulted in a finding of guilty. He was sentenced to the reform school and taken there by Sheriff Moore.
The authorities refused to receive him, however, on account of some technicality. He was accordingly brought back and placed in jail where he will have to remain until he is again disposed of by the court at its next regular term.

FIRE AT WAYNETOWN.
Several Business Booms Burned and Much Property Destroyed, Ourjneighboring fillage of Waynetown was the scone on Wednesday night of a very destructive fire, in which some eight or ten
busineBs
rooms werti burn
ed to tho ground, and a largo stock of hardware, dry goods, drugs and other stuff destroyed.
The fire was firBt discovered a few minutes after the hour of 11 o'clock on Wednesday night,
flameB
being first
discovered issuing from the baeement of a hardware store. From this point it spread in east and west directions, and before it finally ceased had burned out the following places:
Herron & Pickett, saloon. Taylor & Thompson, drug store. Jas. Brant'8 Grocery. Henry & Harnell, haidware Lawson Parker, dry goods. Albright's bakery, Livery stable, Two vacant rooms. A dwelling. Odd Fellow's Hall, The buildings were all situated on the north side of the main street of the town, and a number of them were brick The entire population of the town almoBt were called out by the fire and many of them worked heroicially to save the property, but accomplished but little toward doing it, as there was an intense heat prevailing at all times, and but a small supply of water to be obtained. The cause of the fire in unknown, but hints of the work of th«j incendiary are thrown out. It might have resulted from carelessness as much as anything else, The largest losers are Henry & Hanell, hardware, who had a 815,000 stock of goods of which nothing was saved. Lawson Parker had a good supply of dry goods, which were all burned. He returned from Chicago early in the morning after the fire, and his first knowledge of it was in looking for his room. Taylor & Thompson, the leading drug house, had everything burned. The total loss of buildings and stocks of goods is placed at between 840,000 and 850,000, with a total insurance of near 820.000. MoBt of the goods were insured, although some are entire losers by the fire. E. Albright, the baker, was in luck in one respect. He had only insured his establishment the day before the fire, and by this fortunate forethought will bo enabled to start up again in business. Several of the buildings were quite old and of not mush value. We understand that several of the owners of theground will immediately set to work to rebuild, and will bo ready for business by the holiday season, if not before. Ed. Voris had much of the property insured in the various companies for which he is agent.
i' Uomine To A Focus. The Washington correspondent of the Indianapolis News has sent the following bit of informajtion which is not at all gratifying to the friends of Walter F. Hulet:
Senator Voorhees called on Secretary Carlisle this morning to hasten the appointment of Joshua Jump as collector in the Seventh district. One result of the Senator's call was the request made to-day by the Secretary of the Treasury for the resignation of Jos. P. Throop, the Terre Haute Republican collector. Joshua Jump will probably be appointed collector of the Terre Haute internal revenue district as soon as the resignation of Collector Throop reaches Washington. The Secretary of the Treasury thought to-day that the appointment would follow immediately on the receipt of Collector Throop's resignation. Of course Secretary Carlinlo would not indicate who would be appointed, but there is but little doubt that Jump will win. He is indorsed by the two Senators, by Congressman Bretz, Brown and Cooper. Congressman Taylor has indorsed George L. Dixon, of Evansville, and Congressman Brookshire has indorsed W. F. Hulett, of Crawfordsville. Mr. Brookshire is making a strong resistance against Jump's appointment and may prevent it, although it is hardly probable. Mr. Brookshire'sseat in Congress is understood to be involved in the fight, and it is claimed that the appointment of Jump, who is John E. Lamb's law partner, will mean that the seventy or odd appointments in the Terre Haute district will be made with a view to aiding Lamb in his race against Brookshire for the congressional nomination next year.

GETS THBEE YEARS.
Such is the Verdiot of the Jury in .the Oase of CJharles Kennedy, of New Market. •..
The trial of C. W. Kennedy, of Now Market, charged with being implicated with William Richardson in tho stealing of a horse and buggy from W. Lt Surface, waB called in the Circuit Court Monday morning. Crane A Anderson appeared for the defense ^while Prosecutor Moffctt was assisted by Judge Snyder in behalf of the State. Nearly two hundred people came up from New Market and the court room was packed. Kennedy was accompanied by his wife and little daughter and mother-in-law who remained at his side during tho ontire proceedings. HiB little daughter, a bright and beautiful child some six or seven years of age, sat upon the father's knee most of the time and seemed dovotedly attached to him. Young Richarsdon occupied a seat at the table of tho State'B counsel and his aged mother, with her head bowed down in grief, sat next to her son during the progress of the trial.
The case is yet familiar to REVIEW readers. On the night of May 15th a horse and buggy were stolen from iho stable of W. L. Surface at New Market. The rig was traced to a livery stable at Haughville, a suburb of Indianapolis, and the thief arrested. He proved to be William Richardson, of New Market, who up to that time had borne a good reputation. He£was brought to thiB city and after being placed in jail made a confession to his father in which ho implicated C. W. Kennedy. He said that Kennedy had planned the theft and assisted in the stealing. The arrangement was for him to take the horse to Haughville, sell the outfit and thon meet Kennedy in front of the court house at Indianapolis next day when they would divide tho spoils. Kennedy was arrested and gave bond for his appearance in court. Richardson entered a plea of guilty at the preliminary and has since been in jail. Ho gave in his testimony at the present trial about aa above and could not be shaken on cross examination. A number of witnesses testified that Kennedy's character was bad and that he did not stand well in the community. This was about all the evidence tho State introduced.
For tho defense Kennedy's wife and mother-in-law testified that on tho night of the theft Kennedy never left the house from sundown until the next morning that he was sick and that they had given him medicine twice during the night. They gave their evidence in a straightforward manner and could not bo confused on cross examination.
All day Monday and until. Tuesday at 3 o'clock was consumed in hearing the ovitlenco. Tiio Judge then allowed each si.le one hour and a half to make speeches. Juiigo Snyder opened for tho State and the way he sailed into Kennedy was a caution. Twice during hia speech he waB loudly iipplauded by tho audience and Judge Harney had to threaten them with bodily ejectment before order could be restored. All during the trial thero was displayed a feeling of ill-will and prejudice against the defendant which burst forth in all its fury when Snyder referred to him as a human devil. He didn't seem to have a friend around Now Market outside of his immediate family. Whether ho merited this enmity or not wo aro not in a position to say. Mr. Crane followod Judge Snyder for the defense who in turn was followed by A. B. Anderson, and Prosecutor Moffett closed for tho State. At 5:30 o'clock the Judge finished his instructions to the jury and that body retired to make up itB verdict.
In the jury room the first ballot Btood eight for conviction, three for acquittal and one blank. The second ballot resulted in ten for conviction and two for acquittal and on the fifth ballot all were unanimous for conviction. Some little time was consumed in fixing the period of punishment. Some wanted to mako it five years and others only two, so a compromise was effected in sentencing him to three years in the penitentiary, five yearB disfranchisement and a fine of 81. The jury returned its verdict at 8:30 o'clock, after being out three hours. Mrs. Kennedy wap not present when the jury returned, but a few minutes later the nowB was taken to her. She uttered one shrill scream and then fell fainting. Restoratives were applied and she was soon brought around. A half hour later she visited the jail where the scene between husband and wife was truly pathetic. Crane and Anderson Bay they will stand on the verdict for tho present but at the proper time will ask for a new trial.
Death of Mrs. Susan Gillis. Mrs. Susan Surface Gillis, one of tha oldest residents of the county, died at her home in the Balhinch neighborhood last Saturday afternoon at the age of 83 years. The deceased waB born in West Virginia in 1810, but has been a resident of this county since 1844. She was the mother of fourteen children, ten of whom survive her. The funeral occurred Sunday. Interment at the Weir cemetery.
