The trial of Ed Brown, charged with attempting to rob a Big Pour express car juBt east of the Junction some time ago, was heard in circuit court the first of the week. The jury tied, six to six and Brown was sent back to jail. With the prospects of a severe winter ahead it is supposed that he was not averse to returning to warm quarters. It will be recalled that he was with a party of tramps, and in the attempt of *he train crew to eject him from the front end of the express car he was more or less injured. Public sentiment seems to be on the side of acquittal.

A Sad Gase of Lunacy.

YesUrday afternoon Justices Overton and Chumasero held a commission of lunacy at the Clerk's office that developed some sad features. Mary Mahaney, aged about twenty-five, and daughter of Mike Mahanoy, residing on east Jefferson street, has made her home almost since childhood with the Moore sisters on south Water street. She is a Catholic, and for the last few years has labored under a peculiar hal ucination. She imagines that she has committed some great sin for which there is no atonement, and this with physical disabilities, has brought about derangement of the mind. This was the verdict of the commission, and she will accordingly be sent to the asylum.

The Moore sisters had come to look upon her as one of the family, and they very much regret that such a step was found necessary. No possible blame can be attached to them as they held the girl in high esteem.

The second trial of Edward Brown, charged with attempting to rob an express car. resulted in no verdict.

The insurance had expired and the loss of at least $1,200 will bo total.

Mayor Bandel and Trustee Hartman were made members ex-officio of tho board. It is a worthy organization and it is believed that the wants of the deserving poor can be supplied better in this way than any other. Without such an organization charitably inclined people are shamefully imposed upon by a class of people who are able to make their own living.

The most insolent and daring picce of robbery to come under our notice lately was executed on west Main street about 9 o'clock, last Saturday evening. Jack Canine, wife and son, canie up town after supper to do shopping. When ready to return, Mr. Conine dropped into tho barber shop while his wife and son walked on home.

53RD YEAR.—NO 13

A Pretty Little Town.

New Market is one of tho out towns of which the county, and the commuu[ ity in which it is located,.may be proud. It is a town of cozy homes and a reas* onably'{[contented people. Although New Market, like every other place, has felt the effects of depressed times, yet it has demonstrated that it can live and prosper without the factories that come and go where the biggest bonus is offered, line the spoke factory, for ic-* stance.

A number of dwellings and two'framo store buildings have been built this year. Among, tho, former IB the $2,500 residence of Emmons Busenbark and that of W.. R.

lChild(ers

costing

about $2,000. The 'towYi has throe brick store rooms and a brick' livery barn. The business blcck of Ertaantrout & Childers is a two-story bridk structure, the upper story being used by tho thriving K. P., lodge, three'years old, whose present membership is about 70,

Tho business directory includes two general merchandise, stores ohe drug and jewelry store and poBt office annex, all of which, with a capable assistant are presided over Henry D. Servies one hardware story, one grocery, harness shop, barber shop, meat market, restaurant and bakery, the digar factory of Will Sidener, wood and repair shop, a good grain elevator, one big saw mill, and a deep public well.

The population number^ about 400 and those of Bchool age "nave splendid advantages and are kept at it. There are three churches, that of tho Methodist, Christian and Universalist. As it is an unusually healthy and civil community, there are only two physicians and one notary public. New Market is all right, and tho REVIEW is pleased to see it prosper.

S- Coulter Beplies to CorrespondentsMa. EDITOR:— It is nothine more than right for ma to explain why certain parties have assailed me in the Crawfordsville Journal. As for the Mace constellation. I placed a petition in the hands of a gentleman at Mace, to be circulated fox1 the appointment of a democratic poBt master, and they have sought an ungentlemaniy way of seeking revenge in the newspaper. And what is more unmanly they have furnished the items and then used others as a means to get them into the paper and at tho same time denying that they have anything to do with it. They implicate the Editor of the Journa\ vith them and have stated that ho was much to blame as any of them. This nVay be true and it may not, but the way they are trying to lie out of it they need to implicate somo ono pice. That growl from Tiger Valley is by a fellow who worked for me,once and then went away and told a he on me, and when I took him to task about''it, ha had to swallow another or choke. Ho also goes in J'i the paper tip g'et'revengo.' That growl that conies'.fromStringtown, is only a reward for kindnesF., I loaned: him twenty-live cents over a year ago, to pay his way into the fair.grounds at Crawfordsville, after !•.» had waited outside the gate for half a day, and he never paid it until thiB fall when'I dunned him for it.
