Indianapolis Journal: The Montgomery county friends of General Wallace yesterday got possession of the rooms they had originally engaged, Nos. 53 and 51 Denison House, and opened their headquarters there, where they bad a number of callere. In their talks with members of the legislature they are expressing a preference that th« senatorial causus be held at the usual time, instead of in the first week of the session. "Speaking for myself," said Charles N. Williams last evening, "I would prefer that it be held as it usually is the night before the election which would bring it the night of Jan. 18th. We have not been in the eon test very iong and we would naturally like sufficient time to get acquainted—with the members and present our claims''

BUGGY AND HARE

Gone, and a Ladoga Liveryman Mourns Their Absence. A smooth tongued and plausible ap peering individual, a traveling swindler, no doubt, appeared in Ladoga a few days since, and made the acquaintance of Mr. Roueton, a liveryman at tha place. He hired a rig op two or three occasions, always returning the property and paying for it The last time he failed to return, and driving out with a nice black tnare and buggy toward the latter part of the week failed to appear and is not likely to unless accompanied by the sheriff. He represented himself as'a horsebuyer, instead of a horse thief, as he proved himself to be. The loss tp Houston is about $125, if he fails to recover'the property.

Piaoavl Coialy Office

The executive committee of the County Officers' Association met at Indianapolis on yesterday to discuss the effect of the recent decision of the Supreme Court that the salary law of 1805 is valid. On account of the meeting a large cumber of county treasurers and auditors made it convenient to go to the city to settle with the State. The sentiment seems to be in favor of asking of the Legislature that it legalized the acts of the county commissioners their salaries for tbe last year and a half without regard to the fee provision and that the error phioh crept into Section No. 126 of the law be corrected, Several ot the influential members of the association said it would be wasting time to/ endeavor tp persuade the Legislature to

repeal the salary act, 1

THAT SAME OLD SWINDLER

That Made it so Interesting to 'Squire Vannice of Franklin Townehis, MrsDr- McMeohan, et al-, is Nearing

His Former Stamping GroundA Kokomo paper tells of a swindle perpetrated in that county a few days ago', which sounds very similar to the one worked off here. It Bays: "W. E. Biacklidge, a well known real estate and loan agent of Kokomo, was fleeced out of $1,700 by a professional shark last week. A stranger, claiming to be A. W. Sawyer, of Nottingham, Wells county, went to Mr. Blacklidge's office with a mortgage of $2,500 on the farm of Samuel Biegler, a prominent resident of the west end of Howard county, and wanted to sell it. The signatures appeared to be genuine. Biacklidge being acquainted with Biegler and also 'Squire Stiffler, whose seal was attached, suspected nothTtffe wrong. He made a personal loan of 91,700 on the mortgage, writing his ckeck for that amount on the Citizens' National Bank. Sawyer took the check to the bank, got the 11*700 in cash and suddenly dis appeared.) Biegler, who had been noti fled, came to town and pronounced the mortgage a forgery."

CHOPPING DOWN TOLL GATES-

Clinton County Farmers on the War Path, and Much Trouble Ahead* They are having much trouble over the toll roads in Clinton County. Last Friday the prosecuting attorney filed affidavits against forty-four ofthe leaders of this organisation, in which are included some of the most prominent farmers in this part of the State, idonday morning before the sheriff could serve the warrants, all parties charged came to the city and in a body proceeded to the sheriff's office and surrendertd anil they were taken before the court and gave bond for their appearance at the January term of court. They chopped down both of the toll gates on the road as they catne into the city to surrender to the officers. It has become the custom of all parties in this fight to carry axes in their vehicles, and when the gates are up the arey chopped down and cut up. As soon'BS one gate is cut down another is put up by the company. The old sweep-gates have been removed and replaced on this road as many as four times in one day since this fight has begun. The men who are leading in this tight say that they well not dee. troy any of the company's property in the night time, but that they intend to make an opeo fight of it, and will assist in the prosecution of any one who shows the spirit of an incendiary in the destruction ot property. The feelings aroused over this fight is the most intense and bitter ever known in the county, and business men are fearful lest the city and all its business interests will be affected.

Remembrance of nameB and faces is quite a difficult matter with many people, and especially after a decade or two has passed before they meet again.

His daily walk and conversation were clean and pure. He was a genial, exemplary character in all the best relations of life, and everybody loved him.—Tborntown Argus.
