W. D. HARLOW. Buulne-» Mnmerr

$1)500 Por the Plaintiff, fSi Upon the convening of court yesterday at 9 o'clock and after the clerk had read the record of the day previous Judge Harney turned to the jury and asked if they had agreed upon a verdict in the Hipes VB. T, A L. R. R., caBe. The answer was in the affirmative, and the foreman, Ambrose Retnley. arose and handed the sealed verdict to Sheriff Davis. The document being opened read: "We find for the plaintiff and assess damages' at $1,500." The jury was till 11 o'clock at night reaching a verdict. Four jurors held out through the first bullous for the railroad company. It may therefore be called a compromise verdict, and not a decided victory for either side. It is thought, too, that both sides will abide by tt Terdict. The jury was required to answer fifteen interrogatories. The most vital poiet seemed to be as to whether the engineer gave the proper signals on approaching the crossing.

Then yesterday, Mr. Weeks, cashier of a Danville, 111., bank was here and identified him as the fellow who had "pluyed" the banks there. Mr. Weeks was reticent about stating amount. Thero may still bo others

Tho second Dronberger case against the editorB of the Frankfort Crescent, was called before special Judge, M. E. Clodfelter, in tho small court room on Thursday. Tho case was dismissed for non-appearenco of prosecution. Dronberger's first case satisfied him in bucking against newspapers.

Some of the poor people whom it wa proposed by the charitable society to assist have real aesthetic tastes. One party to whom brown sugar had been given returned it Baying that they did not want brown sugar but granulated. Another refused some beans that had been sent them, saying they did not want any dried beans at their home. People of such pure rich blood as those should not be assistod at all, and if they have to be aided srud thfm to tho poor asylum and take whatever is provided. Another party who had received a sack of fiour Bold it, giving as a reason that she did not use that particular brand of tlour.

Thirteen of Brady's companions were killed, two disappeared mysteriously. Brady was found pinned beneath his dead horse, with his shoulder broken, his chest caved in, and five bullets in his bedy, Ono bullot struck near tho stomach, tearing away the abdominal covering and lotting out part of the entrails. Brady possesses a wonderful constitution, and he is slowly recovering from his terrible injuries. It will bo a long time, however, before he is able to report for duty.

A new comedy drama in the German dialect, entitled "The Prize Winner," will bo produced for tho first time in this city on Wednesday, Dec. 27, at MuBic Hall by Charles R. Gardner, tho famous comedian and sweet singer, and a company of first class actors. New scenery and stage effects and now costumes have been providod, including a startlingly realistic avalanche that presumably buries all the principals out of sight. The plot develops a pretty story of love and heroism on the part of Karl, the Prize Winner, a role assumed by Mr. Gardner. In tho course of tho performance Mr Gardner will sing six new songs, which are sure to catch the popular ear. Thoy are "The Turners' Triumph," "liio Wedding Bells," "The Flower Girl." "Wand Drill," "If My lleart Could Speak," "Tho Butterfly." The characters in the play are all strong and a fine performance may be expected.

DO YOU

?.?.LD

Postmaster Voris—more room and better appointed quarters in every way. Not loon, but sooner.

Tho churches—more love to Christ, and less zeal for the welfare of those who don't appreciate it.

John R. Courtney—full encouragement to become an evangelist. It is believed he would succeed.

A. F. Ramsey—a modern Solomon to tell him whether he ought to make the race for Congress or not.

Supt. Zuck—a wife that won't be jealous of school "marms." This, wo be lieve, is the strongest stipulation.

A life size picture of himself, for the business man who don't claim to bo selling at cost—or two if ho needs them.

Jas. M. Waugh—don't need anything. Am supremely happy. Tho Board has accepted the work on abutments at the iron bridge.

THE REVIEW'S best wishes for tho complete happiness of the children on tho morning of the approaching merry Christmas.

Commissioner Fullen—a standard work on geology. Others to follow, relating to building atone, especially that most suitable to enter into bridge abutments.

Editor McCain—a cony of the Biblo, now version, with that part of it relating to the penalty attached to a wilful perversion of Truth, printed in italics. The pension business is hurting tho morals of Brother McCain.

Hon. Jas. A. Mount's wishes are supposed to be something after this fashion: "A. F. Ramsey, please step aside and let me hit the bull's eye in the Republican nomination for Congress." [Sorry it would'nt do him any good, though.]

A dozen cabinets—only $1 per dozen— for tho man who has been in politics any length of time, who don't believe ho could be a credit to his party and an honor to his pocKot book, by filling a public office. Any photographer will make thom for that.

Not After tha Old Midland, ANDKKSON, December 19.—Concerning tho rumor that Senator Brice is negotiating for the Chicago & Southeastern railway as a part of the Lako Erie & Western Bystem, James B. Harter, superintendent of the old Midland, says there is no ground for such a theory. Mr. Harter adds that Harry Crawford lias always had a price on the road, but no one has yet accepted it. Superintendent Harter says that the Chicago & Southeastern is now in good shape, and that early noxt spring the extension to Muncio will positively be built and that the western terminus to Brazil will be completed.

NIPPED Iff THE BUD,

A Conner Booster with so Many

The time intervening between his first visit and that of fast Friday seems to have been mostly spent in building up confidence with the banks. He did this by resorting to various aliases. At the Elston bank he was known as Lchollor, at the Citizens as George Gerlack, and at tho First National bank as B. Pficfenf-rer.

On last Friday before leaving for Chicago he drew from the banks all his money except about $100, divided between them. He returned Sunday night to complete his scheme on Monday and fly his kite for tho unflown, Hi» plan was to overdraw hie account at each bank by depositing worthless checks for credit. His arrest spoiled the whole scheme, and in the afternoon he broke down at the jail and made a confession. The result of a preliminary oxaminatinn placed him under bond for $500, and for failure to givo which ho was remanded back to jail.

The Best Out Town.

Next in population and importance of Montgomery towns, to Crawfordsville, is Ladoga, our thriving neighbor to the southeast. The county seat is glad to accord Ladoga this right and THE REVIEW will always take pleasure' in re cording evidence of its continued prosperity.

Our regular correspondent gives a business directory of the town in today's REVIEW that Kwill be found

Early in December ho landed here for the purpose, it seems, of filching money from tho three banks of tho city, and registered at the Robbins House as L. Forber, Chicago. After indulging in perfect leisure and good eating for a few days he paid his bill and left. Before his departure, however, he made doposits at all three banks, aggregating about $600. Not many days elapsed until he again showed up at the hotel, this time registering as F. Fosber, of Lafayette. This changing of names so adroitly did not suit landlord Am Jones, and last Friday he accordingly communicated the same to D. H. Jackson of the Elston bank. And here began the unfolding of his scheme.

He seemed to have a consort at Ladoga, as inquiry relating to a noto of $375 he presented for collection at the Elston bank on a Mr. Beckwith, brought a prompt roply from this mythical person enclosing a draft for $100, with the statement that tho balance would be sent in a short time. He worked a similar scKferno on the First National using tho name of Mr. Myers, of Ladoga, on a note on which he made it appear that thero had been a partial payment.

much interest. We might add that in the way of new buildings erected this year, that W. B. Gill is getting ready to occupy an elegant $8,000 residence, and this, with other smaller dwellings completed this year fmake a very fair showing. This week a Jneat and commodious postoflice building will be completod, and when Pc-stmaster Talbott gets his new fixtures all in Ladoga will have an office, such as will make Undo Sam ashamed of his makeshift quarters in this city. Ladoga is an all around active and healthy youth that is not done growing, by any means.
