El) F. I,U*E,

Mu"h surprise was manifested on Friday among the acquaintances of Ed. Duckworth, the well known mail carrier, to lean, that ho had thrown down his job, left his family and tied from the city to parts unknown. There are rumors of domestic troubles assigned as the cause of it, wh'le others assert that he hud for some

lionm-ed Tlnui. Xwostudents, John Parker, Georgetown, Delaware, and Richard Dague, Fowler. Ind.. '.ore expelled this week from Wabash College for unbecoming conduct during the Waskington birthday celebration. This is the correct plan to take by the college authorities. If discipline and good order i? required, there must be some power at the head to enforce it. The members of the class to which these two belong have threatened, it is understood, to leave unless these men are re-instated. Rat.her than yield an iota they should have the privilege of at once leaving if they know nothing net tor in do under the circumstances. Some one must "boss" or anarchy will at once prevail in any institution of learning, and the managers of it ridiculed. The faculty have pursued the correct course— bounce every student who will not submit to college rule and discipline.

Flem Marshall, of Brazil. the mail who last week inhumanly and unmercifully whipped aud beat his nine-year-old son. who subr eqnently died of poison which he is said to have admin istep'd with his own hand and committed suicide, is now in jail in Greei.e county. A po6t mortem examination of the exhumed remains of the boy revealed not only arsenic in the stomach, but internal injuries from the abuse and inhuman treatment inflicted by the father, which, as reported, would have resulted fatally. The father has been placed under arreBt and incarcerated to await the further course of the law and the developments awaiting the prosecution.

A Crowd Out. An alarm of fire near 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon drew out a larger crowd than had been seen before at any contiagration in town in years. A story and a half frame building, old and weather beaten, caught fire from a defective flue and the flames spread rapidly. The fire deprrtment responded soon and in a few minutes had the fire under control. A family named Howard occupying the house had their goods hustled out quite lively, but suffered little loss. The building owned by Miss Taylor, of Washington City, was injured to the extent of probably $200, which is covered by insurance.

«•«. Wullncc'K new Flnl. General Wallace yesterday secured a building permit for the erection of an addition to the Blacherne Hat. While it will be an addition and form apart of the present building, conforming in outward appearance, it will be entirely different inside. The present building, is fitted up for housekeeping, each suite of rooms having provision for cooking The new part will be divided into smaller apartments, with some rooms that can be let singly or en suite. There will be no provision for kitchens. The first floor will be occupied by a cafe. This change is made to suit the many people who would like to have rooms in such a building, but who prefer taking their meals at a cafe.—Indianapolis Journal.

An Adventurer Getx in Ili» Work. An adventurer, giving his name as Charles A. Kissel), bilked the citizens of Tipton out of a large sum of money a few days ago. He came to Tipton six weeks ago, claiming to bo a tin plate manufacturer with a million or so of capital and proposed starting a monster tin-plate works at Tipton. This attractive proposition interested the best citizens and Ki8sell was a hero in their eyes. The stranger succeeded in obtaining a number of temporary loans, which he proceeded to make permanent and did it to a finish. After working the string to the end, Kissel last Friday, left the city, taking with him a livery' rig that wa« found at Anderson,

Tilt! White Murder Case at I.nluyette Tuesday morning Judge Taylor appoin ed Col. Richard P. DeLIart to assist Charles E. Lake in the defense of Jesse White, of Lafayette, the man charged with murdering Mrs. Hester Curtis, the widow who was found in her home on Dec. 22, 1895, with her skull crushed and her person covered with blood, having been assaulted for the purpose of robberv. Her bunk book, showing a small balance to her credit, was still clasped in her hand when found. I1"

Monday White fil-nl proceedings for

habeas

corpus against Sheriff King to

compel that officer to show by what right ho retained him a prisoner, and this morning, after the appointment of Col. Dellart, this application for a writ was dismissed and three weeks of hard work for the attorneys was shut out. After the dismissal of the petition for a writ i*f habeas corpus, the attorneys of hite announced their willingness to ha\e the court set tho time for the trial to begin, and asked for an early Uaj. Judge Taylor conferred with the prosecutor, Charles Thompson, and it was agreed all around that March 10 should begin the trial of investigation into the most horrible and coldblooded murder ever committed in Tippecanoe county. It is now thought that White will not ask for a change of venue, but will be content to be tried in Tippecanoe county.

llickN for March.

March 2d and 3d are centers of storm movements, on or about which dates barometer will fall, temperature will rise—both, of course, developing first in western parts of the country—and storms of rain and snow will mark tho passage of storm conditions eastward. Two or three days of much colder weather will follow. About the 8th to 11th is a storm period that will bring marked changes in tho thermometer and barometer- the former rising and the latter falling—and storms of rain and snow will pass acroaB the country. Almost without exception, March 10th to 12th brings many electrical and atmospheric disturbances. The reactionary period is central on tha 11th and loth, with new moon in Apogee on the 11th. Within 48 hours of that date, after if not on it, storms of great energy will occur in many places on land and sea. A cold wave will follow. The 19th to 22d is the passage of tho vernal equinox, blended with a regular storm period. Watchit! Cold, for the season, will follow. The 2Gth to 28th will bring many storms. Mocn will be full and in Perigee on the 28th. This means many violent storms and gales on and about, that date.

Feeliirn:Townrdu Will \Y«oi]»in rerma-tle Rev. Woods of Greencastle, father of Will vVoods of the Pearl Bryan murder case, speaking of tho feeling towarsl his son to a reporter in Cincinnati this week, says: The feeling about Greencastle and elsewhere in Indiana has bocome much more mild toward Will Wood. He says Fred Bryan, brother of tho murdered girl, is about the only one who is still bitter toward Will Wood. He blames Pearl Bryan for inducing his boo to bring her asd Jackson together during last August and September. "It was only after three or four weeks of urging on Pearl's part that Will consented to take Scott Jackson out to Pearl's home. Many of the young men of tho town have come to ine personally and assured mo of what they know of Pearl Bryan and my son that never was any improper intimacy between them. The feeling is growing that Will was made a convenient tool by Jackson, and an intermediate friend to go between her and Jackson by Miss Bryan.

Kd Tori* Lucky Again. The members of the local gun clnb who journeyed to Kilmoro Friday to take part in the shoot given by the club at that place, found the company just a little too swift, for them. Thompson of Lafayette, and Voris, of Crawfordsville both champion wing shots, carried away the bulk of the prizes. Parsons, Kramer and Gaddis got a "piece"' now and then, as did the Kilmore lads, but none of them gof what they went after. Our boys will give a shoot here Thursday week.— Frankfort CreBent.

Crnwder-ICIinore. Mr. Corper Crowder and Miss Maye Elmore wore united in the holy bonds of matrimony at Kingsley's Chapel, on Wednesday at noon. The ceremony was performed by Rev. S. B. Grimes. After the ceremony they tendered a reception and a sumptuous wedding dinner was served. The young couple are quite well known in this county, and have many friendB who join with us in wishing them much happiness and prosperity during their lives.

There are four names announced for county clerk before the republican nominating convention to be held May 2d. They are Walkup and Hulse, of Union township, Coberly of Wayne, and Wirt, of Ripley. Members of .the party say that Wirt has the inside track for the nomination.

f'taltCN in Imlinnn.,

State Geologist Blatchley recently finished a classification of Indiana fish. The state has 1.578 species of fish and sixty five genera. More kinds are found in the Wabash river than in any other stream in the state. Sixty-four different species have been caught out of that stream at Terre Haute. Bean "Blossom creek, in Monroe county furnished fortytwo species in one miloof its course and forty-four species were caught, in Eel river in Putnam county.

One-fifth of all species are darters, and they are, perhaps, tho prettiest fish swimming in 1 ndianastreams. They are small, long and graceful, and their haunts are in the clear, running streams, where they lie on tho stony bottom or dut among the rocks. Minnows make up another one-fifth catfish and suckers another sunfish, salmon and trout another, and the last fraction is composed of tho remaining species.
