A LITTLE TECHNICALITY

May Save Guy Steele From a Sojourn Within the Prison Walls. Guy Steele, arrested with Sidner near a month ago, on charge of robbing the mails of letters containing money, has been granted a new trial. Mike White, before Judge Baker of the U. S. Court, this week filed a motion for a new trial for the reason that the charge on which he

A Model Issue.

Attention is directed to the varied and interesting contents in THE REVIEW ot this week including An Old Soldier's Account df Discovered Treasure, Craw fordsville's First Circus, a write-up of ^Vhitesville, Sbannondale and Smartsburg. Letters trom New Ross, Ladoga Romney, and other points. Local news, of a varied character. A supplement containing much interesting reading matter, etc., etc.

We are aiming to give all subscribers the worth ot their money, S1.00 per year, and judging from the vast numbers of names that are weekly being added to our list the people are appreciating our efforts.

THE REVIEW is 81.00 per year, no more, no less, and will be worth that or nothing. We club this paper with the Weekly Sentinel at $1.40 per year, the Weekly Enquirer S1.50, and New York World, three papers per week, S1.65.

Postponed Trial.

The second trial of Dr. Stout, of Covington, charged with complicity in the death of Grace McClamrock, which was docketed for trial this week in the Parke county circuit court, has been postponed by|Judge White,on account of other business, A second hearing of the case will probably take place this month. This case is remarkable for the number of postponements that have been given it since the indictment of Stout nearly two years ago. At the first trial the jury disagreed and the defendant since then, as before, has been out on hail. The father of Miss McClamrock, it is said, has new and damaging evidence against Stout and is desirous of a trial without further postponement.

Death of W. J. Fisher.

convicted was not sus­

tained by the evidence. Sidner was convicted, it seems, in the particular case where the money taken from letters was found on his person, and which he acknowledged. Of this act Steele knew nothing. What he may have done in the way of purloinng letters herptofore will have to be proven before he is convicted. The court set aside the former verdict, and Steele withdrew the plea of guilty and is now out on bond. It is not probable there will be a further hearing of his case until some time next May, or until an indictment is returned against him. Sidner in the meantime Is wearing stripes and will remain ie close quarters at Columbus, Ohio, until next December.

Mr. W. J. Fisher, a well known citizen, died at his residence in the southeast portion of the city, on Tuesday afternoon. The deceased came to this county from Kentucky in 1852, settling on a farm near White6ville where he resided until 1885, when ho removed to this city. His age was 70 years. He was the father af nine children, Joe E. Fisbdr and Mrs. George Anderson, of this city Mrs. John S. Armstrong, of Whitesville: Mont Fisher, Frankfort Jatn«s Fisher, Chicago, and Mrs. E. II. Ilorton, Philadelphia, three being dead. The funeral occurred yesterday from the family residence, Rev. Trick, of Mission Baptist church olliciating.

Sudden Death at New Richmond* Isaac Watts, of New Richmond, died suddenly on Monday afternoon at his home in preserce of his mother from an attack of heart disease, it is supposed. He had been rabbit hunting during the day and in the evening returned home, expiring within a few moments after his return. His funeral accurred Wednesday afternoon from the Christian church at New Richmond.

A Serious Runaway.

While hauling crockery from the factory near the Junction, Tuesday morning the dray team of W. B. Nash became frightened at an engine and ran away. At Mill and Franklin streets they brought up against a telephone „pole and one of the animals was killed while the wagon and contents were badly wrecked. On Monday Mr. Nash had had both horses 'insured with the Inuidiana Live Stock Co.

A BIG BLAZE.

New Market's Chief Industry Goes Up In Smoke.

Willmni Ohilder's BRW mill, the chief induftry of New Market, was totally destroyed hy fire last Sunday morning about 7 clock. While the whole populace vvHfl soon on the tcene and willing hands .vere nard at work nothing was paved but the lumber which was piled close fo the mill. Under the same roof was the Keystone slat fence mill and a brick machine which wore aleo burned together with considerable contents.

The loss was in the neighborhood of SI,000 with no insurance whatever. The fire is Huppoeed to have originated by friction of an underground pulley and had perhaps smouldered for several hours before breaking out, The destruction of this industry throws a great many men out of work at a bad season of the year while the thriving little town receives a shock froin which it will not soon recover.

Amateur Safe Blowers.

Sunday night burglara forced an entrance into the rear of Pogpe & Son's grocery store and succeeded in extracting change to the amount of $3 from the money drawer, besides eating fruits candies, cakes and other luxuries to their hearts' content. They then made, no doubt, their first attempt at safe blowing. They hammered eff the combination and then filled the cavity with gun powder but for some reason they did not explode it. This would have made no difference as the result would have had no effect on the safe. It is supposed to have been the work of local talent.

The Poor Account.

Wanted to Run a Minstrel Show. A man named Hallopeter was in town the first of the week, seeking to get up a minstrel show of Iccal talent solely and composed of young ladies. He follows the business furnishing the paraphernalia for the entertainment and devides profits with any society or organization helping him. Such an entertainment would hardly prove a success here. He should try Rockvilie where they would not know any bettor.

Suit has been entered against A. F. Ramsey and II. B. Hulet, bondsmen of the late Fred Bandle during his last term as Mayor, for the sum of 8150, being the amount of fines collected by him and not returned for the benefit of the school fund, as required by law.
