KO K. I.L'MK,

A matrimonial bureau marriage, which was to have taken placa at Frankfort Wednesday night, failed to materialize, owing to the disinclination of the prospective br-de, who changed her mind at thb last moment. Mrs. Sarah A. Paillips is a comely widow whoBe home IB in a. O, She answered an advertisement in a matrimonial paper requesting a correspondent,with a dew 10 marriage. The gentleman proved to be Amos Stotter, the proprietor of a second-hand Btore in that city. 11 was a case of love at the tirst stroke of the pen. and Mr. Stotter forwarded her money to come there, and Wedesday evening met her at the Duffy House with a license and a preacher. The bride delayed the ceremony until she could make some inquiry about the bridegroom-elect, after which she declined to marry him and this morning returnee to her home.

The correspondent of the Indianapo-. lis Mews from this place says that in the suit of Mrs. Michaels before the Circuit Court against Heath, the Alamo druggist, for selling her husband liquor, the ladies of the Woman's Temperance Union strongly sympathized with her until the testimony of the defense Bhowed that the woman had frequently purchased the intoxicant for her husband and WBB not "ferninst" a drink of beer herself occasionally. After that the ladies dropped further sympathy and did not attend the trial auy more.

MILTON B. WAUQH, President. Secretary.

Concerning Attorneys' Fee*. The Supremo Court banded down a dacision this week in the case of the board of commissioners of Montgomery county against George A. Jamison, auditor of Tippecanoe county.

W. F. Pettit was indicted by the grand jury of Tippecanoe county for murder in tho first degree, and upon application the venue was changed to Montgomery county, where he was permitted to defend as a pauper, and George P. Haywood and W. C. Wilson were appointed to assist the prosecution. Haywood and Wilbon were allowed by the Montgomery Circuit Court for their services the Bum of 11,500. Pettit was tried and convicted. From this judgement he appealed to the Supreme Court and the trial court assigned Haywood to assist the State in said appeal, and for his services allowed him theaum of $2,000.

The amount in controversy is the $2,000. In the opinion, Judge Jordan BayB: "The main question ia the validity of the allowance made by the Montgom ery CircuifcCourt to Haywood and ppid by that county upon the court's order for his service.. Appellee contends that the court hfd no right or power to al low Haywood compensation for such .services out of the public funds. The question thus Bought to be presented for our decision is one of much interest to the public, but as the judgment must be affrmed tor the reason that the re lator has not invoked the proper pro ceedings to secure reimbursement for the claim in question, we are not required to decide it."

Shrewd Trick Worked at I.ogansport. Three strangers registering as Mr. and Mrs. Evans-a-nd Mr. Anderson canv»escd the residents of Logansport, selling a needle for $5 and offering to buy at fabuIOUB prices all artide£mude therewith. The- first'pnrchasars more than realized their investment within a few days, but their talking interested others, and the rooms o£ the needle folks were crowded with customers. After selling possibly 200 needles at 85 each, the trio went elsewhere.

Candidacy of iov. Matt hewn. It has been the opinion of very many democrats throughout the wist that Gov. Matthews of this State would be an excellent candidate before the uationul democratic convention for president. His name has been discuss ed and his titnesB for the place canvassed for a year or more. This expression was voiced this week at a meeting of 400 or 500 representative democrats at Indianapolis in the following resolutions: "Resolved, That the democratic central committee of the State ana, assembled at Indianapolis on this 11th day of December, 1895, unanimously recommend to the democracy of the Union (Joveri or Claude Matthews as a suitable candidate for the presidency of the United States. "We know him to be a life lone democrat aniMlmt he possesses the Jeffersoniun qualifications that is to say, he is honest, competent and worthy. "We know that he is thoroughly devoted to the funitameLtal principles of the Democratic party, which must endure as long as our Republic stands. Like Jefferson and Jackson, he has come into official life from among our agricultural people, and is broad and liberal in his views concerning all the great interests that go to make up our active, progressive and patriotic Nation "lhat Governor .Matthews, in his services in the Legislature of our State, in the administrative ofJico of Secretary of State and as chief executive of the State of Indiana, has gained a very useful experience in public affairs. That he is studious, industrious, cautious and firm in the discharge of public duty. That hiB popularity is evidenced by the uniform success of his canvasses before the geople hitherto. "We, therefore, respectfully present him to our fellow Democrats of the Nation aB a fit and proper person to be the standard-bearer of the national Democratic party in the presidential contest of 1896."

Parke County Will Ca«e. Attorney John E. Lamb is receiving congratulations on his victory in the trial of the Johnson will case, which has been on in the Pake county courts during the past ten days The will ofThomas Johnson, a once prominent and wealthy, farmer of Parke county, involving an estate" valued at $20,000 was dissolved and the estate will revert to the possession of an administrator. Some time before Johnson's death, he executed a will in which he ignored'the children of one of

hiB

daughters. The

.grandchildren began suit to dissolve tiie will on the ground that the old man was of unsound mind at the time of ex* ecuting it and that undue influences were brought to bear to induce him to ignore plaintiffs who were legal heirs. Mr. Lamb's opponent was ex-Congress-man James T. Johnston and the trial was a hotly contested one from begining to end. Several lively tilts between the two ex-congressmen contributed materially to the sensational features of the trial. The arguments were completed at noon Tuesday and four hours later the jury returned a verdict in faor of plaintiffs —Terre Haute Express.

The Lawyer Won Ills Case.

The suit of George W. Galvin, an Indianapolie lawyer, against the Keely Institute, of Plainfield, on account, was on trial this week before a jury in the Putnam Circuit Court. It developed during the trial that Galvin was employed as attorney for the defendant'institution, and one of the items in hin bill is S150 for drafting a measure making the institute a State institution for the euro of inebriates. The act never got beyond the House committee that was intrusted with it. The case was brought here from Hendricks county on change of venue. It wont to the jury this week, and a verdict for 8300 returned. He sued for $600.

BEHIND THE BOLTS AND BABS

Of a Jaii was Dr. D. E. Barnes Placed. The Cincinnati Enquirer correspondent from I1 arinland (Randolph county) contained the following last Saturday, relating to Dr. D. E. Barnes, formerly of thiB city, but now living on i.ortli Illineis street, Indianapolis.

a note, but signed 11 contract for medical treatment, agreeing to pay Dr. Dawson E. Barnes $165 at the end of six months if cured, otherwise nothing.

Mr. .L'hornburg at once Bought the aovjce of his attorney, and as a result bbenff btrahn went to ludianapolis yepterday anj arrested Dr D. E.

He was taken to Winehefrter to-*i aod lodged in jail wherb he will soon be given a chance to explain to the cotrt.

The tenor of the above extract would seem to show that. Dr. Barnes was guilty of selling a note in which the signature was forged. PerBone hero acquainted with Dr. Barnes do not believe any such thing. He would not need to, is in good circumstances, and nothing derogatory to him of a nature like the above would seem to imply was ever heard of during bis several years' residence herJ^The opinion from reading amdng many is that Thornburg had wgned the note, and too late wishes he had not don6 it, and iB now aiming to repudiate the transaction. If the latter view should prove correct Thornburg may Boon find ihipiBelf^epey in the meshes of the law than hit Oolijd possibly anticipate.

Kobbad the Preacher or 940. Tuesday night a robbery occurred at the Big Four depot in Lebanon. The Rev. 7. T. F. Shannon, an old minister, ,who has lived near there ft nutaber of year^ came in on the 2:30 a. m. traip from the .stoppping-p)£o«. As he started down town, slightly behind the others who ?had alighted, he was seized by two men who ^eld him and rifled hie pockets of $40.. Mr. Shannon says he would recognize his assailants.

Weaver Will Not Uet Uremic. James Weaver came before the commissioners on Wednesday and asked for a license to sell liquor. They will not grant them as two-thirds of the voters remonstrated against him. Walnut township docs not want a saloon for two years but she will have a quart shop just the same. He cannot apply again for two years,
