Hornbeck-Simison.

Tuesday at high noon occurred the marriage of Dr. J. Frank Simison, of Romney, and Miss JeBBie Carroll Hornbeck, at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Hornbeck, on south Green street, the Rev. John E. Steele, of New Albany, officiating. Immediately after the ceremony an elaborate wedding breakfast was served and at 2 p. m. one hundred and fifty friends were entertained at a reception. Dr. Simison and wife left on the evening train for an extended trip through the East, after which they will Vie at home to their friends at Komney.

Getting In Their Work. That the republicans are getting in their work slowly but surely, and that nothing in the civil service rules offers a barrier .when they want to push a £,roo(l working brother along, is evidenced in the following special from Washington to yesterday's Indianapolis Sentinel. "James H. Cook, stamper and janitor in the Crawfordsville, Ind., postoffice, has been promoted to the position of mailing cleru, succeeding Samuel Johnson who is reduced to the position va cated by Cook."

They Wear Well.

J. O. Collins, an aged gentleman residing at Crawfordsville, passed through here to-day on his way home from Indianapolis. Collins has the rather unique distinction of being the possessor of a pair of socks knit from yarn made at the Yount's factory, four miles west of Crawfordsville, in 18G7. He has worn them every winter of the subsequent years. Collins is an uncle of Ed Collins, of this city. He is about sixty years of age.—Lebanon Reporter.

Prather Suit Dismissed. The suit of Elder Prather against the Brown's Valley Baptist church for back salary, amounting to 848, was dismissed in Squire Stilwell's court Tuesday morning, on motion of the plaintiff. It appears that certain members of the church had gotten together and privately subscribed the amount desired and paid Mr. Prather, thereby keeping the matter out of the courts and dispensing with the ill-feeling that was sure to arise from such a course

Bob Foster for Auditor. A number of the friends of Robt. M. Foster called at this ^ffice, this week, and announced that that gentleman would be a candidate for the office of county auditor before the democratic nominating convention. Mr. Foster belongs in Union township, is a sterling young democrat and should he be fortunate enough to secure th« nomination will not disappoint his friends.

A BIQ BLACK BRUTE.

R. B. Smith, a Notorious Negro,

Attempts Rape On a White

Woman.

An attempted rape right here in the cultivated Athens was one of the Christmas day diversions. K. Smith, a notorious negro, who has been hanging about the saloons here for many years, and- a worthless character, wsb the principal, and had the deed occurred a few miles further south, he would 'ere this have been stretching hemp. On Saturday afternoon Mrs. Pat McManDis, who occupies the rooms over thd McMannis grocery, on north Green street, was lying on a couch asleep, with her babe in her arms, when this burley negro stealthily entered, and taking the child and lying it on the floor attempted to criminally assault the woman. She began fighting off the brute and her cries 6oon brought help from other parts of the building. Smith, seeing he was foiled, h^iPtily made his escape, but was soon arrested and lodgea in jail. Monday morning he wa6 brought before Mayor Silwell when he pleaded not guilty, and was bound over to await the action of the grand jury in the sum of 81.0G0 which he, of course, was unable to give.

Martin -Cooper.

Tuesday evening at eight o'clock at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Arch Martin, on west Main street, occurred the marriage of their daughter, Miss Zerelda, to Henry Bernard Cooper of Pittsburg, the Rev. Henry Cooper, of Hubbord, O., father of the groom, officiating. Miss Martin is one of our city's fairest daughters, a lady of many accomplishments and admired by a large circle of friends. The groom graduated from Wabash College with the clafs of '96 and now holds the position of Prof, of Chemistry and mathematics in the Pittsburg high schools. Mr. and Mrs. Cooper left on the midnight train for their new home in Pittsburg.

Will nake It Warm For Will. Mrs. Will Thompson, occompanied by her brother, George Kashner, was down from Darlington Wednesday. Mrs. Thompson is still very weak, pale and emaciated and shows the marks of long suffering. Her mission to the city was to secure the services of Crane & Anderson to assist Prosecutor Kennedy in the prosecution of her husband. This would indicate that the erratic William need nor look for compassion from that quarter and as a consequence will certainly get a heavy sentence.

Spring Hill Coasting.

There have been the usual number of accidents to coasters at Spring Hill this seasoL. Saturday night Miss Laura Kepler was seriously injured by her si going over the embankment near the bridge. Monday morning Frank Foreman lost control of his sled and went crashing into the fair ground ft-cce. He was terribly bruised and lacerated and was unconscious for nearly a^hour after the accident.

Death of Dr. Will Steele. Dr. Willium W. Steele died at, his lunue iu R'jckville last Saturday night after a short illness at. the age of 4: years. The deceased was well known in this city, having been born and rais ed in Wavelund where his remains were returned "ii Monday. For many years he operated a sanitarium for the cure of the liquor and opium habit at Judson which instil ution a few months ago he removed to Rockville.

A Correction.

Last week The Review stated that Ote Thompson, of Linden, had been fined in the Mayor's court here for intoxication. This was a mistake and should have rend Ote Thomas. Mr. Thompson is one of the best young farmers in Montgomery county, a man of exemplary habits and the publication of last week did him araLk injustice.

VanSandt-Sidener.

Thomas J. Sidener and Miss Nanni VanSandt were married at the home of the bride on [eaet Jefferson street Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Rev. H. Nave officiating. Immediately after the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Sidner left for St. Louis for a wedding trip after which they will return and reside in this city.

Simpson Montgomery Dead. Simpson Montgomery died at his home, near Linden, Wednesday night, at 8 o'clock,, from a stroke of paralysis which he suffered Sunday night. Mr. Montgomery was one of the oldest and most respectable citizens of the county.

A big Christmas dinner was served at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Carney, five milos north of the city in which all the immediate neighbors participated. Mr, Carney is 75 years of age and his wife 1%

NURSED A VIPER.

Ira Alward Robs His Benefactors and

Is Now In Jail.

Sunday altrrnoon Chief of Police Grimes received a telephone message from Wayneto»vn to lookout for and arrest i.ne Ira Alword. a bucolic individual from the wilds of Fountain county, stating that he was wanted for robbing Joseph Gray and wife of $268. The mat ter was given in the hands of the police anil about midnight Officer Flynn found the gay Ira in a room over a Green street saloon. The yjung oihd quietly submitted to arrest and he was soon safely behind the bars.

The prisoner is a son of Tobias Alword aud is about 21 ears of age. When quiti small hd was taken by Mr. and Mrs. Gray to raise and resided there continuously until eotne two years ago when he left, and went to work on 1 tarm in Fountain county. He, however, niade periodical visits to tho Grays and at the time of the theft had come to spend the holidays with them. Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Gray left home to spend the day, leaving Ira alone. No sooner had they left than he went to the trunk of Mre. Gray and took therefrom §268 in cash, representing the savings of many ears. He went direct to Waynetown, and after imbibing a few ounces of old booz" made a loan of 8125 to Moody Hoiman, a chum, taking his note for the same. He came to Cracfordsville on the evening train and registered at the Sherman Houbo, giving the clerk 8140 of the money to keep for him. Then he hunted up Everett Michael, an old side partner, and the two started out, as Ira said, "to tear the old town wide open,"' which job they were doing artistically when corralled by the police. Monday morning he was bound over to await the action of the grand jury in the sum of 61,500.

That Alwood is slightly demented there is no question. He doesn't seem to realize that he has done anything particularly wrong, and thinks he will Boon be liberated some time in the near future. To a Review man, he said "'he didn't care a durn what became of him," and then brightening up suddenly, Baid: "Say, I'm about the hottest thing with the girls down at Waynetown that ever happened. I've got 'em all on my etafl. Say, I can go with the top-notchers down there, you bet." After a moment's pause he added rather gloomily, -'Wei:, whiskey has got me into this trouble and I expect I'll go over the road for it."

A Negro's Terror.

The prisoners at the jail had an amusing time Sunday night with R. B. Smith, the colored ravisher, who assaulted Mrs. Pat McMannis. They informed him that a mob wa? being organized to lynch him, and soon had him wild with terror. Along about midnight when a number of horse thief detectives accompanied by a policeman with young Alward, the Waynetown thief, came into the corrider of the jail, Smith thought it was the mob after him and began to scream with terror. His shouts and prayers could be heard for a blue': and were truly pitiful. It required the combined fforts of the Sheriff and all the prisoner to quiet him, which was done only after considerable time.

ACC1DENTLY SHOT.

A Bullet In the Brain Ends the Life 1 of John B. Stingley. I

One of the most unfortunate accidents in the history of the county occurred at the home of John Jj, Stingley, in Madison township, about 7 o'clock Thursday morning, in which Oren Stingley accidently shot and killed his father. The horrowing details ot the tragedy are about as foilowE:

The family were arrangir to kill hogs and Oren had just finished cleaning and loading a rifle to be used for that purpose,? |ln the room was seated John Stingley,'.Mrs. Oren Stinglyand son, and a grand daughter. Mrs. Noah Hormson. As Oren Stingley arose from his chair to repair to the yard the weapon, by some means not known, was discharged, the ball striking the aged father in the back of the head just at the base of the brain. He fell forward and was picked up unconscious, but only lived about a halt hour, never regaining1 consciousness.

The affair is a niost deplorable one. The unfortunate 6on is almost wild with grief, and it is feared by his friends that he may lose his mind. The deceased was one of the oldest and best known citizens in tho county.

Wm. Birch is home from Jonesboro, Ark.

Quite a change is being made in the large court room. The judge's bench has been moved to the middle of the west side of the room and will face immediately in front of the main entrance. The seats have all been changed but the entrance the sams as before. It it is believed that the change will greatly improve the accoustic properties of the room.
