STOLEN GOODS RECOVERED

And Two Somewhat Noted Qirls

Have Their Reputations Aired.

Some time last winter during the absence of Mrs. Nicholson, residing on west Market street, at Chicago, her home was visited and an assortment of clothing, dresses, jewelp, etc., taken therefrom. The goods were all recovered and returned this week from Terre Haute. It seems that Marshal Grimes received a tip that one of the twins known as the "Sullivan'' who reside on east Main Btreet, had been seen by neighbors to leave the rosidence by the rear and through the alley. On this information she was arrested' brought to the Mayor's bffice and forced to answer some pointed questionsEnough was learned to satisfy the officials with all the information needed. The goods, it.was ascertained, had been taken to Terre Haute, to the home of a married si6ter of the twirs residing in that city, who was ignorant of the manner in which they had been obtained, and who promptly returned them to Officer Grimes. The larceny cases will not be prosecuted against these two girls, it is St id, although why not has not been explained. It may be the grand jury will take up the matter when it convenes.

Failed to Agree.

After a trial of three days the jury in the case of Mrs. fowler, who sued the Vandalia railway for the death of her husband, the case terminated in a fail ure of the jury to agree and it wae dis charged, nine being for the plaintiff and three for the defendant. Fowler, an engineer, was killed last August at the Walnut Fork bridge by the going down of the bridge with the engine. Two other persons were killed at the same time. Mrs. Fowler sued for the sum of $10,000, alleging in her case negligence on the part of the railway company. Those of the jury favorable to the railway company took the view that the negligence of the engineer and others caused the accident, and not the company. It is probable that a com promise will be effected between plain tiff and defense, and no more trials had

Residence Afire.

Demas Gilbert, for many years carrying on the bakery business in this city* has disposed of all hia property and has removed to Chicago.

A HOLD-UP

And a Knock Down In Which ExJudge Snyder Was the Victim.

Late Saturday night while going out the back entrance from a business room on the west side of the square, ex-Judge Snjder was baited by a man and woman for the purpose of robbing him. The man, a young fellow known as "Creamer" Watson, son of Wm. Watson, se zed Snyder and held him while the woman, known as Anna 0 Neal, proceeded to rifle his pockets of what valuables he might possess. Making resistence, he was knocked down. Just at this juncture a policeman appeared and taking in the situation at a glance promptly arrested Watson. The woman fled but was soon taken in. The action was very bold and is the first case of the kind reported here in years.

Condition of the Monon.

Some time ago the receiver was authorized to borrow $200,000 for improvement, and the report shows that $92,223.73 of this sum has been expended. The company is doing a great deal of between Monon and Chicago, and has a large force of men at work cutting down the grades at Lowell and Cedar Lake.

The First Railroad in America. Gridley Bryant, a civil engineer, in 1826, projected the first railroad in the United States. It was built for the purpose of carrying granite from the quarries of Quincy, Massachusetts, to the nearest tidewater. Its length was four mileB, including branches, and its first cost $50,000. The sleepers were of stone and were laid across the track eight feet apart. Upon rails of wood, six inches thick, wrought-iron plates, three inches wide and a quarter of an inch thick, were spiked. At the crossings stone rails were used, and as the wooden rails became unserviceable they were replaced by others of stone.—May Ladies' Home Journal.

Captured.

Henry Skelton, who disappeared so quickly after his brother's funeral near Russelville, some weeks ago, being more fleet of foot than his brother who was. captured at the time, both being wanted for stealing poultry in Brown township gome months since, has finally been taken in. Immediately after his flight he went, it was learned, to Walnut Grove, Warreu county, where some of his relatives reside. Sheriff Davis learned of this, went over and secured him and returned with him on Wednesday.

After a Job.

A Washington special says Frank Dice is there seeking the position of sixth auditor of the treasury. Dice probably has Bought to surprise his friends here by getting the place, if possible, before any of them know any thing about it, as none knew he was looking for any jqb under the government. He has not received it yet either.

Not Re-Married.

A mistake was made in Baying that A. D. Willis had re-married his former wive a few days ago at Covington. He was married but, as we understand, to a widow by the name of Willis.

New Paper at Darlington. Clyde Watts, of Greencastle, was in Darlington this week effecting arrangements for the publication of a newspaper in that town. As there is already one running there now, the field prom ises to be pretty thoroughly worked hereafter.

He Belongs to Ail.
