ISSUED EVERY SATURDAY

kd f. luse,

For some years past it has been the conclusion and determination with the Masonic fraternity of Crawfordsville to erect a temple for its use, and one suitable in all respects to the demards of the order. The time is about here the members think to begin the work, and with this in view a committee of fifteen members was chosen some tuonths ago to select a suitable location for the building. They have six locations upon which options have been given and one ol' these may be soon chosen and purchased. Two of these are ton south Washington street, one of them being the old Park House property, another the north-west corner lot on Walnut and Maine, one on Market street, the V.Q.Irwin lot, and the old Robbins House property on east Main street. It is believed cne of these two last mentioned will be chosen. The committee will meet October 22d and at tbat time will determine upon a choice of location, and iu the ensuing spring the work of building be commenced.

The Knights' Drill.

The Knights of St. John on Thursday afternoon on south Washington street, in presence of vast numbers of people, gave the finest exhibition drill ever seen here. No company here, or even those that occasionally have appeared in entertainments at Music Hall have equalled the work of the Knights last Thursday. They were repeatedly applauded for their many quick and accurate evolutions, and the many strangers present were much pleased at the movements and counter movements before them so finely shown by the KnightB. Captain John Drury can well be proud of his magnificent company.

Passed Away.

Aaron Hughes, of whose former career and final sottleno'ent at the poor asylum Was mentioned in our lae^ issue, died on Tuesday morning and was burried in the cemetery at Winchester where his wife, who preceded him to the grave Several yearB since, is interred. His age was 76, and he had resided here sin5e 1852.

Assigned.

The dry goods establishment of !Newt Wray, in the Ornbaun block, was placed in the hands of an assignee yesterday. Dull trade is given hb the cause of the assignment, and the failure of prosperity to get around. Mr. Wray will probably go on the road as salesman for some wholesale house.

Injured in a Runaway.

Ben Swank, of Coal Creek township, was severely injured by being thrown from a wagon near Winguteon Monday. His head struck the ground in falling and for a day or two he was unconscious. He is now, we learn, slowly recovering fromhis injuries.

Deaths This Week.

Mrs. Thos. Powell, residing near New Ross, died on Monday. Her death was caused from cancer.

Geo. F. Linn, living at Beckville, in the eastern part of the county, died on Monday from an attack of typhoid fever. His age was 22 years.

"One Year.

John Michaels, arrested some days ago for the theft of five bushels of wheat from a farmer west of Yountsville, was brought into court on Monday afternoon for trial. He pled guilty and was sentenced to a year's confinement in the penitentiary.

Gone to Utah.

Charles Spellman left last week for Utah. He goes to accept a position as manager of a newspaper in one of the towns of that State.

A lamp exploded in the office of the Arlington Hotel at Covington, and not until alter the police broke in the door and extinguished the fire, did the night clerk awake.

The coroner's inquiry in the suicide of G. Foster, of Liverpool, England, who killed himself while a guest in a hotel at Greencastle, lays the blame upon the excessive use of cigarettes. Hie valise and pockets were found to be filled with the noxious decoctions.

A MASONIC TErtPLE

To Be Built Next Year at a Cost of

Between $35,000 and $40,000.

THE EXPERTS' PIQURES

Are that Ex-Treasurer John C. Hut-

ton Owes the County $9,479.11.

After an inspection which was probably quite thorough, of the books of the treasurer's office during the four years of John C. Hutton's occupancy, the two experts, Fosdyke and LaRue, figure that there is due from him to the county tie sum of $9,479.11. This report was made last Monday morning to the county commissioners and a num. ber of other interested parties. Of this sum $3,038.00, the experts say, was drawn by Mr. Hutton ae a part of his salary, and to which he was not entitled under the present law, while the remaining accounts, over $6,000, are errors in settlement, making his shortage the amount stated above. According to the experts' report taxes which had been collected on many occasoins were not reported. The commissioners demand a settlement in accordance with these figures and suit has been entered. The fun will probably now set in. Mr. Hutton'denieB the shortage and has employed Wright & Seller, and Johnson & Johneon to defend him in the trial which, no doubt, will be contested Wdrmly and be prolonged for two or more years.

The public knows little or nothing regarding the matter aside from reports. There is not one man in a hundred knows or could know anything about the correctness of these books of the county offices. The experts employed her follow the business of looking after the books of county offices over the State from year to year, and are certainly more competent to judge and report correctly on the condition of any office of the county where disputes arise or errors are made in the books, than anybody else. They are supposed to be disinterested and unprejudiced in matters coming under their eyeB between the county and interested parties. It Mr. Hutton actually owes this or any smaller sum to the county he should be forced to pay it. There is no politics nor personal feeling in this, but only justice between man and man.. If he does not owe it be should cxaust every resource rather than submit to an injury to himself or bondsmen. It iB said that.three months ago the county would have settled in full with Hutton for $2,500. It may be that this would have been money in Hutton's pocket to have accepted the proposition. The matter of giving bond in this county for the faithful and honest performance of duties while in office is going to be a difficult matter hereafter and officials will have to Becure bond from eastern guarantee companies. There have been entirely too many shortages. If Hutton is short in his accounts with the county he is the fifth treasurer of the county that has proven

Pecord^r

BO,

one of

them't is said being short over $40,000 and another $27,000. The people have had enough of it surely, and the question comes up why not employ experts to go over every treasurer's books hereafter who may b3 elected to the officeIt might be money well spent.

The followiog are the bondsmen of Mr. Hutton for the first term he served as treasurer:

Jacob W. Hutton, Alex Harper, Edward Goff, James' Hutchison, Eph Griffith, Benton Snyder, Alex T. Thompson, John H. Smith, Samuel Weikle, G. Hunter, Edward T. Hall, James Ball, C. Schenck, John Harpel, W. H. Durham, I. C- Elston, James Williamson, Thos. Luster, Benj. M. Gaiey, H. S. Service, James F. Fisher, Isaac F. Todd, George W. Bratton, James B. Gray, Daniel Curtis, James C. Vaughn, I. H. Alexander, A. W. Herron, Jas. G. Swearingen,, D. W. Hughes, Albert Corn, Asa Corn, James W. Foster, Aaron Wolfe, J. Y. Durham, J. C. Todd, J. W. Todd, Albert Allen, Ben Swank, G. W. Bowers, J. F. McDaniel, J. P. Coleman, L. D. Coyner, Robert Dunbar.

For the 2nd term the following names appearjon the bond that were not on the first, although the second bond contains most of the names of the first:

J. S. Henry, F. M. Dice, G. S. Durham, J. P. Bible, Jerre Harlow, James H. Servies, Benj Ball, I. Wilkinson, John P. Biddle.

Cost of the Poor.

Below is the cost to the tax payers of each township of the county for the maiDtanance of the poor during the three summer months, or up to Sept. 6th last. The amount is over $2,000 and during the winter months it will no doubt reach near three times that amount: Coal Creek $ 113 37 Wayne 166 10 Union 515 42 rown 69 95 S'*ott 26 7b Walnut 103 00 Finnklin 76 77 Sijarar Creek 78 75 Mndison 83 35 ,rk 118 60 Ilipley 58 16

A special to the Enquirer says: A funny controversy has arisen over the legal residence of Gov. Mount. When he was inducted into office he leased a furnished home inside the city limits, but more recently he closed negut?£tfoftfe for a handsome quarter in Woodruff Place, a swell residence portion of the city, Woodruff Place is an incorporated town of itself, although within the limi's proper of the city of IndianapoliB. Under act of Congress in March, 1819, the site of Indianapolis was donated to the state of Indiana as a seat of government, and it is among the constitutional conditions of the state that the Governor and other state officers niust reside in Indianapolis during their respective terms of office. The claim iB now made that when the Governor changes his home to Woodruff Place he violate a consitutional'prohibition by living outside tu city of Indianapolis. Besides, it establishes a preceddnt, for if the Governor can live elsewhere than in the city, it is contended that other state officers may do the same, The Governor is looking into the question but so far he has not intimated that he will cancel hiB lease.

-S' Cory vs. Tierney.

Cory, of this city, and Jack Tierney, of Chicago, [for a prize fight for a purse of $400, the fight to take place Oct. 24th within 50 miles of Covington. A forfeit of $50 was posted by each man as a guarantee that he would be on hand on the day specified and in the rinir. It is to be a finish fight, and the rounds not limited. Tickets to the entertainment will be $2.00, and if some sheriff and his deputies do not get on to the game before hand a large at tendance of "the fancy" may be expected. Cory has already gone in training with Howard Dickerson as trainer which is a guarantee tbat nothing will be left undone to put bim into good, condition for the mill, John Robbins. it is thought, will be selected as referee

Kicked to Death.

k1 Valuable Horses Burned. CharleB Palin, a young farmer and owner of several blooded horses, in Richland township, Fountain county, suffered a severe loss early Sunday morning in the burning of one of his large tarns,'with all its contents, nothing being saved. Major Eaton, one of the best blooded stallions in this section of the State, and Peggy M, who last week at the Cayuga fair made a record cf 2:19V, with five other horses of good blood, were cremated. One horse escaped but was so badly burned that the animal was shot to end its misery. There were also four hundred bushed of oats, two hundred bushels of wheat and $500 worth of buggies and farming implements. The loss will reach $20,000 with no insurance. The fire was the work of an incendiary.

vv ilusic Hall October 5. PoofesBional jealousy doeB not seem to trouble Walker Whiteside, the tragedian. HiB manager, Mason Mitchell has engaged for leading support on hie coming tour no lees a man than Frederick Paulding, who has had a distinguished career in the beet companies that have ever played legitimate drama in this country, and has been a star hb well.

A novelty is promised for the opening attraction here in an entirely new play based on Stanley Weyman's famous and thrilling romantic play "The Man in Black". Mr. Whiteside essays a dual role, that of the old magician and that of young Chevalier de Renaux. The test is a severe one, but no one who remembers Mr. Whiteside's fervent young Hamlet and his crafty old Shylock can doubt his complete triumph.
