The fatal result to Bennett from being overcome by poisonous gas'or "damps'' while digging a well on Morgan street on Thursday brings to mind a similar incident which occurred here during, or about the beginning of the rebellion. An old resident says that on east Main street the father of Tude Hamilton and a man named Birchfield were engaged one day in digging a well in the rear part of a lot a few hundred feet west of the Vandalia depot. Both were overcome by the gas or "damps,'' and expired before they could be rescued.

DAMPS" IN A WELL

Causes the Death of one 'Man and

Quick Work Barely Saves the Life *f Another.

Thursday afternoon two men, Rick Bennett and Edward Reynolds began preparations to clean out a well on the property of Charles Smelcer on Morgan street. Bennett started down the well, Reynolds and one or two otherB letting him down by a rope attached to a windless. In a minute or two it seemed after Bennett was down he fell from the rope into the water, a corpse, the poisonous gas or "damps" having completely filled his lungs preventing any air from entering. Reynolas immediately begin the descent of the rope to rescue bis companion, and when near the bottom of the well yelled to thoBe above to draw him out quickly or he would die. This was done at once and he was rescued from his perilous position not a minute too soon. Restoratives were promptly applied and he in a few hours was all right. The body of of Bennett was drawn up soon after, taken to Career's undertaking establishment, and an inquest held, the verdict being in accord with the facts given above. Bennett was aged about 35 years, and a single man.

No Dividends.

Those of this city who invested their funds in the Order of Equity at Indianapolis expecting dividends, have every reason to be disappointed. Tbe indebtedness ot the concern is reported to be quite large with assets of only about $20,000, and hundreds of stockholders to divide it between them. The fate of the late Iron Hall of Indianapolis, a proposed big dividend paying concern which failed, involving losses to large numbers of persons in the west, and here lately the failure of the Order of Equity, will tend to make persons with surplus meanB exceedingly cautious as it should.

Governor's Staff.

Gov. Mount has at last remembered one Montgomery county republican. He has appointed A. F. Ramsey on his staff with tbe title of asniRtant chief of ordinance with rank of lieutenant-col-onel. It requires about twenty-five men to complete a governor'® staff, and tbe whole business looks a rank antiquated humbug.

ONE DOLLAR AND COSTS

Are Assessed Against the Dohertys

at Joplin, Mo.

Some months since in an extract published from a Joplin, Mo., paper an account was given of the arrest of a woiurn, Mrs. E. T. Nell, Mat Doherty and bis son Harry, tbe two latter former residents of Cra wfordsville, oncharga of conspiracy to kill one George Ilnggwrty of that city. From the accouct it seems that Ilaggarty was jumped upon and terribly beaten by a man named Marrs at the investigation of the above mentioned parties. A trial ot the case was postponed for some months, but last week took place. The Joplin paper in mentioning it says: "The jury in the True Nell-Doherty Hapgerty case, which held the attention of circuit court for two days, returned a verdict of guilty and fixed their punished at one dollar and costs."

The case is one between the "Hard Shells" and the "Soft Shells" for the possession of church property. The question involved is one of church law. Each side has a large array of expert witnesses from all sections of tbe country. Judge T. J. Terhune, of Indianapolis, is attorney for tbe defendants, or "Soft Shells" A. J.lShelby, of Lebanon, and A. C. Harris of Indianapolis, appear for the plaintiffs.

PASS RESOLUTIONS.

Crawfordsville Democrats Take Action on the Death of Mr.

Vooohees.

At a meeting of a number of demecrats of this city, on Monday evening, the following resolutions relating to the late Hon, D. D. W- Vorhees, were passed:

The democracy of Montgomery county mourns the death of Daniel W. Voorhees as that of a great and trusted leader endeared to our hearts and embalmed in our memories by the viscisitudes of triumph and defeat, of sorrow and joy in which we sustained the mutual relation of leader and* people. While waiting the celebration ot hia obsequies, we recall with mingled feelings of pride and sorrow all that he baa done and euffered in the cause of civil liberty and tbe maintenance of the con stitution and the principles of free government and declare that his advocacy of those principles that were first those of our great party and its progenitor, and who subsequently became those upon which our government is founded, there were none more loyal to the interest of the whole people, none mora ready to bare his breast to the shafts of the common enemy nor more eloquent in pleading for the right and for (he establishment of truth and justice. "In testimony of the great lose that ,. has been eustained in his demise we tender to bis bereaved family our sincere sympathy, to the State and to the nation

There were over 600 prisoners altogether moved on two trains of eight or nice coaches eaeh. They were taken by way of Indianapolis. The following from Montgomery county were taken from Michigan City to Jeffersonville:

Laboring Mens' Resolutions. At a meeting of the Laboring Men's Union at the Court House last week the following resolution was passed:

We, the Laboring Men's Union request the city council when letting contracts tor work for the city to request of all contractors for such work, that they pay their labor in the construction of said work the same rate of wages as the city pays its street laborers.

This will help the contractor, becauee he is not compelled to figure how cheaphe can secure labor, but knows exactly what the work will cost.

This will help the city, because well paid labor will do honest work and a contract completed will be of value while cheap prices secure inferior workmen and insure second class work.

This will help ail labor, because fair wages enables the workman to meet all obligations depecding on him, and makes him self-supporting, and he ceases to be dependent on charity to enable him to live.

"Alabama."

Clement Bainbhdge, now tbe manager and also the Captain Davenport of "Alabama," was for several years leading man for Augustine Daly. He also held the same position with A. M. Palmer for along period. Prior to this be was leading man for Lotta for years.

The most delightful story of American life upon the stage will be told again at Music Hall Tuesday night, April 20th the story of Agustus Thomas' now famous play, "Alabama." The mellow moonlight of the South will again gild the battered walls around Colonel Preston's (Fred Mower) little yard. Again the sweet music of darkey voices will rise and fall through shadesof the palmetto groves.. Again in the glamor ot the moonlight that pours down so warm and tender through the trees. Captain Davenport (Clement Bainbridge) will meet again the lote of his early years, will find his father and his daughter, and the old wounds will be covered with poetry and peace. No play was ever so fascinating as "Alabama."

The two-year-old son of Taylor Alston died at the family residence north of Elmdale on Sunday morning, and was buried on Monday at Oak Hill.
