The Alleged Hutton Shortage. Regarding the suit to be brought by the county commissioners against extreasurer Hutton and hie bondsunen for alleged failure to pay over the amount claimed due, a correspondent from this city to the SeDtinel says: "It developed, a& soon as the shortage was made public, that the charges emanated from a secret, one-sided investigation of the county auditor's settlement with the treasurer, that the investigation was made by Frank O. Maxwell and John R. Bonnell, the latter a personal enemy of Ilutton's for years, the former the present deputy auditor, both reported to have made a contract with the board of commissioners, who are republicans, that the two are to receive 25 per cent, of all they succeed in compelling Mr. Hutton to ditsgorge. Be that as it may, the auditor's records show they have already received 8307.55 "for services as experts" in preparing specific claims against Mr. Hutton but explanations of how their conclusions were reached were wholly refused to him when the charge was made."

Favorable to the Defendants. The suit of Mary Heath against Reason, Aaron and Silas Heath, her step-sons, all parties being from Ripley township, was heard this week in the circuit court, and decided favorable to the defendants. The suit resulted over the division of several hundred acres of land possessed by their father at the time of hie death, some years since, and was supposed to have been satisfactorily settled before until the widow brought the suit which, as stated, has not resulted to her advantage.

Chicken Raising.

Talk about raising chickens, the following from the Ladoga Leader shows one instance at least bow the business is pursued in Clark townBhip: "Mrs. Joel Brookshire has taken bff 825 young1 chickens and 105 young turkeys this spring, and has others still hatching. Her regular farm bens have not been robbed of their regular employment, and have been allowed to do the batching. Xo incubator has been used. Who can beat this record?"

SUIT ORDERED BROUGHT

Against Ex-Treasurer Hutton and

Bondsmen By the County Com­

missioners in Which the Sum of

$6,075.02 is Demanded.

The county commissioners and oxTreasurer Hutton had their linal meeting on Saturday last in regard to the amount of money in dispute between them. No satisfactory settlement could bo reached, or is likely to be, and a good law suit over the matter will follow. The commissioners claim that Hutton owes the county an unsettled balance of over-$6,000, whila LIutton on the other hand claims a balance duo him of over $500 from the county after deducting all credits coining to liitn. At a nieutiag Saturday after a full discussion of the matter the Commissioners entered the following order: "Comes now John C. Hutton in person and by his attorney, and the Board having heard the statement by him made and it being made to appear to the Board of commissioners of Montgomery county, Indiana, from an examination of the books and records of the Auditor's office aid Treasurer'8 office of said county made by Frank O. Maxwell and John R. Bonnell, under the order and directions of said Board, and from their report made to this Board that John C. Hutton, late Treasurer of this county, has failed to pay over all the resources collected for county, township, road and other purposes, and has failed to make settlement as required by law, and that as shown by said report a large sum of money remains duo from said llutton on ac count qf money collected by him as such Treasurer during his term of office to-wit: the sum of six thousand dollars and beventy-five dollars and two cents, which said sum was due and payable at the expiration as Treasurer of said county 00 the 1st day of September, 1895. "And the Prosecuting Attorney of said county is directed to proceed to collect said sum by the proper proceedings by suit unless said sum is paid into the county treasury with interest thereon at once, and in the event suit is brought for said balance said prosecuting attorney is directed to include in his complaint a demand for said sum together with any other matters that may be found to be due from said Huttod to said county, and the Prosecuting

Attorney is directed to briDg said proceedings to collect said sums, unless paid as heretofore stated."

Millionaire E, J. Baldwin was caught napping by his nemesis, Emma Ashley the other day. He was sitting in the office of the Bald'vin hotel at San Francisco when Miss Ashley, who happened to be passing, suddenly presented herself and a6ked him to buy a ticket for his little daughter's benefit. The millionaire dropped his paper and nervously waved her away. The young woman, who carried the same bag from which she drew a pistol in Judge Slack's courtroom one morning last year, waB not to be denied, however" and expressed her disgust that she should be compelled to sell tickets for the support of the child. She was finally induced to leave, but assured Baldwin that 6he would call again.

GOOD LUCK FOR NOAH J.

Success at Last to be In Sight.

Noah J. Clodfelter's proposed electric railway from Marion to Anderson seems likely now alter years of discouraging circumstances to be built, and consequent subsequent prosperity for him. After his insurance company began to go to pieces bad luck seemed to follow Clodfelter. Suit followed suit against him. He lost his beautiful homo, "K110I" cottage, on south Green street, and all his accumulations were swept from him. In spite of his financial troubles he Beemed to retain hie good nature and the genial manners which always seemed to distinguish him. He left Crawfordsville near four years ago, and locating at Indianapolis soon began the agitation of a proposed electric railway from Marion to Andorson, and thence on to Indianapolis. A correspondent ol the Indianapolis News says: "Noah J. Clodfelter, who has battled for three years against discouraging odds to get this enterprise on its feet, was here yesterday, and said that the line would be in operation between Anderson and this city by the 1st of September, and between Marion and Indianapolis by the first of the year. Mr. Clodfelter Bays the company has been reorganized and placed on a sound financial basis, and that it has ample funds—over 8500,000 in the Indianapolis banks—with which to push the work of construction.

Frank Maus, of Indianapolis, is the president of the reorganized company, Mr. Clodfelter is first vice-president and general manager, and W. R. Pearson, of Fairmount, is the superintendent. In the work of construction a fifty-six-pound rail will be built. There will be thirty-seven sidings between Marion and Anderson, and twenty-two cars will be operated at the start. There will be two power-houses—one at Fairmouut, that is already built, and the other at Alexandria. The road will be built at a cr.6t of $500,000."

1 Light Punishment. Johnson, the Logansport bank wrecker, unfortunatelv can receive a maximum sentence of but ten years in the penitentiary. Although hundreds of people lost large sums of money bv his thievery and will suffer much inconvenience and many of them misery, yet all the punishment is 10 years absence from the Bcenes of his operations. This is not enough. It fails to sufficiently intimidate others when no more punishment is accorded. If in Germany, England or Japan an embezzlement and forgery so extensive as this would have occurred the prisoner would get a good deal more than this in fact the embezzlement of bank funds is rarely recorded in those countries iu consequence.

The Weather for June. Hick's has the following predictions for thiB month: |j 'From 10th to about 15th we will have a regular, running into 0 reactionary, storm period. Storms through all this part of June will be highly electrical. This is the annual solstice rain period, fully understood by all who intelligently followed our predictions for any time. From about 20th to 24th, we pass the crisis of the solstice disturbances. Look for many vivid electrical storms. Volcanoes will show nervous endrgy, and earthquakes will transpire. The month goes out with reactionary storm forces moving from west to east.

They Wanted Work.

Early Monday morning near 100 laboring men gathered on the Wilson building school ground where it was understood work was to begin in tearing down the old building and excavations begun for the now. The contractor could not employ but about fifteen of the largo number present, and gave preference to those having families to support, most of the disappointed ones movmg away soon after. Others will bo eiuployod as the work progresses. If, is hoped to have the building ready for use by September 15th.

They Go to Jeffersonville. John Jeffreys and John Patterson, who werejfollowers of the Sun Brothers circus, but stopped long enough at Waynetown en route to do some stealing and beljplaced under arrest, were tried by jury for their offense last Saturday and found guilty. Each was sentenced for an indeterminate term in the Jeffersonville prison.

Won't Come.

After all preacher McLoed who had engaged his services to the First Presbyterian church for the coming year haB determined otherwise, and will stay where ho is, his salary having been increased.

DR. LEECH'S SER/ION.

by a

Appropriated and Published

nr. A. G. Brown.

Ihe New York Commercial Advertiser publishes the following article, which will be of interest to tho friends of Dr. S. V. Leech, one of the former pastors of Centenary church: "The Rev. S. V. Leech, D. D. a well known preacher of the Methodist Episcopal church residing at Crawfordsville, Ind., complains that in a volume of sermons published by the Fleming H. Revell Co., of Chicago and New fork, and also by the Western Book Concern of the Methodist Episcopal church there is a remarkable instance of plagarism in the "Homiletic" of September, 1878, Dr. Leech published a sermon entitled "Joy Among the Angeli over Repenting Sinners." This sermon now appears in the book entitled "Revival Themes," published by Revell, but as from the pen of a certain Mr. A. Q. Brown. The solitary difference between tho discourse published by Dr. Lcech* nineteen years ago, and the one now published by Mr. Brown is that Mr* Brown has left out one-third of Dr. Leech's sermon. But in every other respect it is the same eermon. Dr. Leech has submitted the two sermons to Dr. Funk and Dr. Gregory, the associate editors of the "Homiletic" who says: "We regret to be obliged to state that we have examined the two published sermons with care, and find Mr. Leech's statements concerning plagiarism true. The two sermons agree verbatim et literatum et punctuatim," This surely is theft and not plagiarism.

Twenty-Two Graduates. The graduating exercises of the city high school were held Tuesday evening at Music Hall. The following people received diplomas: Sara Ellen Brown, Bess Nicely, Mary Peck Thomson, June Mae DorBey, Myrtle Beal Griest, Mary Ann Winter, Mina T. McComas, M'liss Autumn Lee, Clyde E. Peterson, Amy Blanche Crease, Theodora D. Lareh, Etnel Moore Wasson, Mable Rose Matthews, Frank J3arl Dennis, Caroline B. Thomson, Harry Elias Taylor, Mary O Dinneen, Rubie Mae Schleppy, Henry Graham Evans, Lela Pearl Scott, Paul Gerard, Mario Louise Craig.

Poorly Patronized.

The excursions to Indianapolis and Chicago thus far this season have been poorly patronized, and certainly do not pay the railway companies to run them. The great and leading cause is the scarcity of money among the people, which in these McKinley confidence days teems to become scarcer as the season advances.

Again Postponed.

The trial of Dr. Stout for alleged complicity in the Grace McClamrock abortion case has again been postponed until the September term of the Park* county circuit court. The postponement racket seems to be worked witb great succoss by the attorneys for the doctor.

Fined.

Jeff Stewart was lined at Indianapolis the other day for taking up too much of the sidewalk with a display of groceries and vegetables. A little of that kind of law might be beneficial here. Many of the grocerymen take up as much as six and seven feet of the sidewalk with goods when they are entitled to but three.

Chosen Next flonday.

Monday the township trustees meet to select a county school superintendent for tho ensuing two years. At this time from the numerous complications that have arisen among the various candidates, it is difficult to say who will be tho lucky man.
