Indianapolis .News. The Crawfordsvule contingency of the democratic administration is all right. It is no mean compliment to Postmaster Voris and his corps of deputies to be able to state that not a single error has been checked up against them by the Department since the office changed hands, almost one year ago.

Crawfordsville delegates to the repubican convention played a prominent part in Thursday's convention. The following gentlemen served on the various committees: J. J. lnsley, credentials: J. C. Wingate, organization \V. T. Whittington, rules and order of business T. H. B. McCain, resolutions.

One week from to-day occurs the democratic convention for nomination of officers for Union township. The names of W. B. Hardee, Win. K. Wallace and Alox Harper are mentioned for trustee. Since the list of possibilities for assessor were given in last week's REVIEW, a new name has been mentioned. that of Tom Noble, of New Market. The prospects now arc that the race will bo between Ben. F. Welch, Robert Beck and possibly Mr. Noble.

PnrUi* County's (•'noil I,tick. Parke county can have no kick coming to it frotn the present administration. Some deserving soldiers have received recognization in the way of being appointed to good positions. In referring to this fact the Rockville Tribune says: "Saturday evening William Dodds received notice from the Department of Pensions that ho had been appointed to a good clerkship. Tho appointment was made at the solicitation of many Park county democrats, through Hon. E. V. Brookshire. Mr. Brookshire pushed the claim from tho start, and though it is not an easy matter to get a place for anybody, the fact that Mr. Dodda was a four years veteran in Fifth Ohio cavalry and a clever mathematician, were strong "pulls," and resulted in success. ThiB gives Rockville three soldier appointments: Captian Dowd, Adjutant Feachman and Sergeant Dodds—All good soldiers. Mr. Dodds has always been a staunch democrat, and his appointment will please his many friends in Parko count}."

Ihe relay message on its novel flight from Washington. I). C.. to Denver. Col., arrived tho city shortly after (I o'clock odnesday afternoon in tho hands of Ld. Lowe of the Indianapolis bicycle club. Ihe Indianapolis club brought the missive from the capital to Crawfordsville, there being three relays or messengers between here and there. Lrnest Wilhite. having mounted his wheel, grabbed the message and wont spinning westward. At tho top of tho Covington hill ho delivered it over to Leo Schweitzer who carried it to Wes•ey. Iva Carr and Scott Galey had tho relays between Wesley and Hillsboro. rank Scott, the postman, who is not only a great pedestrian by reason of his connection ivith Uncle Sam, but a swift wheelmen as well, took his bicycle down on the afternoon Big Four train and carried tho message between Hillsboro and Veedersburir. fie completed the work by 10 clock and returned to the city on the midnight train. The message is kept going day and nigh t.

The message is written by President Cleveland and the entire affair is under the auspices of the League of American hodmen, ihe object is to show how quickly and with what accuracy a message may bo sent across the country in this v. ii\. Ihe -tart was mailo from W ashington at r: ion on Monday and is scheduled to rpi! :i Denver on Aug 10, thus covering the distance in ten days. I ho message arrived here about ten hours ahead of the sched. lo time. If the same ratio of gain is made on west, tho message will arrive in Denver moro than two days ahead of time.

Only fast cyclers were selected for tho relays and every means was resortoil to to accelerate speed. Kach messenger was supplied with a running mate whenever possible and a wheelman in front of him to break tho wind.

'•III'! New* I'rom WIIMIUIIKNIII. At this writing it looks as if tariff reform had at last triumphed. By tho terms of the agreement tho Senato conferees make a surrender of tho most obnoxious features of the Senato amendments. Tho terms, as given out, were that tho sugar schedule was to be as published last week, namely, a duty of 10 per cent, ad valorem on raw sugar, 10 per cent, on tho value of tho raw sugar in the retined and ono-tifth of a cent differential on relined sugare 10 conts a ton on coal and free iron ore, with slight changes in tho metal, woolen and cotton schedules. At Washington tho result of the agreement is considered a great victory for tho President and House.

Tho Democrats of Union Township are invited to moot in mass convention at tho largo court room in tho Court house at the City of JCravvfordsville, on the Saturday August 13,1391 at 2 o'clock p. m. for tho purposo of nominating a township ticket, as follows:

Township Trustee Township Assessor Four Justicos of tho'Peaco Four Constables By order of.tho Committee. W. F. HUNT, JKKE WEST,

a

member of tho Wesner family ^In MavW 189.5 in tho Danville court room a few minutes after closing a briliant argument of a caso which had been venuod from Lebanon, tho Hon. s. U'esner was shot and fatally injured by J. C. Brown. After along trial it was proved that the killing was in self-defense and Brown was accordingly acquitted.

At :.'')0 o'clock Wednesday evening Hanse Wosuor, a son of the dead lawyer, was shot and killed by nis father-in-law) James Livingston, and the circumstances are such that another long trial will doubtless result. Wesner had ropeatodly threatened to kill his father in-law. Ho had been drinking for several days, and anticipating trouble. Livingston had armed himself with a shot-gun. Livingston claimeB he was nearly cut to pieces onuo by his son-in law.

It is said Livingston's standing in tho community was not good, yet he was not considered dangerous. Wesner was about 21 years ulil. had no occupation and has always been considered

fl

dis­

solute and desperate character. Livingston is in jail, but claims the shooting was done in self defense, as Wesner had •i revolver in his pocket.
