ISSUED EVERY SATURDAY.

Republican City Delegates. The republicans of the city-held an election on Tuesday t,o choose delegates to their city nominating election which occurs on Monday. The number chosen is 101, and these decide who shall he the party nominees for mayor, marshal, and other city offices. From the delegates selected and the variety of opinions as to whom will be the I nominees, it, seems that for mayor the choice will be either Reed or Smitb, with Wertz a choice among many of them for the position,

For marshal it is believed that Grimes has nearly had his day, and must step asi'le for Buuk Brothers, who seems to hav* many friends among the rank and file of the party. The other candidates, Bannister and Hiatt, seem to have little or no prospect for the nomination, and will save themselves further disappointment by dropping out at once.

For clerk Tracy will no doubt succeed himself for the nomination. For treasurer the nomination seems to be reduced to a race between Otto and Nicholson.

The following is believed to be the choice for conncilmen in the three wards of the city:

First Ward—Morland Binford. Second Ward—Harry Naylor. Third Ward—Dr. Newt Morgan.

That Chicken Gase Again. The famous Ladoga chicken stealing case of Mrs. Tom Braun vs. Lazerus Goodman, her brother-in-law, was given a second trial before Squire Hanna yesterday, and after a short legal skirmish was dismissed. The case is one in which the public is familiar. The plaintiff, a pretty Jewess, was employed in the poultry house of Goodman, where she became enamored with the charms of Tom Braun, the boss picker, and the two eloped and were married. She then sued her trother-in-law for back salary to the amount of 850 and the result was a drawn jury. The second terminated as stated above.

The English.

Quite a number from here witnessed the performance of "Virginus," at the English opera house in Indianapolis this week with James O'Neill in the title role. Stewart Robson will hold the boards at. this beautiful house next Tuesday in Bronson Howard's master piece, "The Henrietta," followed by a night of grand Italian opera on Thursday, iBtroducing the world's greatest contralto, Mme. Sofie Scalchi.

V-

MONTGOnERY CASE AFFIRflED.

The Majority Opinion in Miller Case

He says, however, that, in his opinion, the judgement is not a compliance with the indeterminate sentence l«w, because he does not think "it is to be understood that the Legislature intended by the act, as so modified, that the court should abdicate its function to adjudge what punishment, within the limits fixed by BtatQte, should be meted out to a defendent for a crime of which he should be convicted."

He says, however, that the majority of the court, for the reason^ stated in Miller vs. State, is of opinion that the statute of authorizes and requires an indeterminate sentence of imprisonment in such a case, and that the judgment should be affirmed.

^Private George Harney.

81.The following special from~this-city to the Indianapolis Journal says: "ThTjGovernor still-believes™there will be no war. *1 see nothing in the situation,' said he before he left the city, 'to make me change my mind in this respect.' But there are a great many people over the State who do not think as the Governor does. They expect that hostilities are about to break out, and that a fierce war will ensue, in which there will bo a great need of colonels, major generals, majors and brigadiers. It is curious to see how many there are who are willing to wear shoulder straps and carry a sword, and in all the' Governor's correspondence there i6 not a letter from anyone offering to serve as a private. But John C.

Wingate, who travels a good deal over the State, has at last discovered such an odd individual. This gentleman lives in Montgomery county and is a son of Judge Harney. Recently he announced his intention of fighting the Spaniards as a private. Such a thing was never heard of before in Montgo ery county, and Harney is now the talk of the whole country."

Liquor License Day.

Yesterday was liquor license day in the commissioners' court. Sumner S. Burrows, Michael Callehan and Gus Karle secured the coveted documents, but Jere Ward, of New Richmond, and John Hastedy were ingloriously turned down.

The much "touted-' Jack Tierney, who was matched to m»et Ed Corey p"me time ago and then showed the white feather, made a holy show of bimpel)'at Indianapolis Monday night ii an exhibition bout with "Kid" McCoy. The Indianapolis Journal thus relates the 6ad tale: "Tierney lasted into the third round. McCoy did not seem to wgnt to punish him and used only his left hand, but he kept jabbing him on tho jaw continually. Tierney went down twice in the first round and again in the second round, but he always came back. At the opening of the third round received ha stunning blow on the jaw which sent him reeling across the ring. The referee caught him and carried him to his corner. He was out of the fight, however, and the carnival closed."

riust Control.

The Supreme Court also affirmed the judgment of the Montgomery Circuit Court, sentencing Charles Skelton to imprisonment in the Reformatory for not less than three years for stealing forty-six turkeys. Chief Justice Howard, who wrote the opinion, holds that the objections to the indeterminate stntence law, that it deprives the prison?r of the right of trial by jury, and that it authorizes Jthe infliction of cruel and unusual punishments, are not valid.

Probable Fatal Ilneess.

The venerable Isaac F. Wade, one of the oldest citizens of Crawfordsvile, and the first publisher, is now confined to his bed at his residence on south Washington street with an attack of dropsy, and it is feared iannot recover. He took to his bed some six weeks ago, and has not been out of the house since. He is now in the 88th year of his fage. Mr. Wade began the publication of the Crawfordsville Record in 1831—two years before any newspaper was establishdd in Chicago. He continued it for some years, after which he sold the concern to George Snyder, who still resides here and is himself confined to his home.

Stout Case Continued.

The illness of Judg^ Stimson, before whom the Stout case was being tried, has developed into typhoid fever. The term of the Parke circuit court closed Thursday and the case was continued until next term.

Mrs. Joe Mish has removed her family to Gas City. Pearl Parish pleaded guilty to the charge of forgery in the Fountain county circuit court this week, and will now more than likely take up his abode at Jeffersonville for a while.

During the muddy days of several weeks past, east Main street, which was used more by the roller, "Trilby," than any other of the city, has been the muddiest and worst of any of them.

Mr. and Mrs. John Johnson have been called to Chicago by the serious illness of their daughter, Hanna. Her disease is typhoid fever, and small chances are entertained for her recovery!

Athenian Talent Abroad. Lee O. Smith, son of R. C. Smith, of this city, is now leading the orchestra in the "Mr. Barnes of New York Co." which is at present showing in the State of Pennsylvania. The Reading Review pays Mr. Smith the following compliment: "The leader is Lee Orean Smith, a young man of twenty-six, but a skillful musician, and a composer of merit, arranging all the music which his orchestra plays. He is a clever performer on the violin, piano, cornet, trombone, flute and cello, and is well liked by the ladies under his baton."

The County Poor.

The county commissioners allowed the following poor accounts in the different townships: Ripley $ 78 34 Wayne. 85 93 Clark 134 85 Scott 79 80 Coal Creek 121 98 Walnut 'J? 96 57 MadiEon 113 29 Sugar Creek ... 81 75 Fran&lin 44 10

Bird treasurer, H. C. Eldridge clerk, Otto Wolf councilman, firBt ward, Charles Ham second ward, William Comley third ward, W. II. Vansickle. The vote was the largest ever polled at a primary in Frankfort. George W. Bird, the nominee for marshal, has served in that capacity Tor sixteen years.

Caring for the Orphans. Mrs. Mary Allison, of Greencastje, in the near future will establish an orphans' home. Mrs. Allison is the wealthiest woman in the county, and among other possessions owns a handsome brick residence on Washington and Arlington streets, that city. At that house she will establish the home, and she has already made arrangements to take care of ten orphans.

FIRST MORTGAGE HOLDS.

The Ruling of Judge West Regard.

ing the Possession of Crawfordsville Star.

As our readers are aware, Samuel Fisher has for three week past held the keys to the office of the Crawfordsville Star. Fisher held a third mortgage on the property, and the question hinged on the priority of mortgage. The case came up before Judge V^est last Monday.

The first mortgage was held by the relatives of the proprietor of the paper, J. M. Keenly. It, like the mortgage held by Fisher, was over due, and hacl been for some time, when Fisher brought a replevin suit and seized tha plant. He Bet up the claim that as the holders of the first mortgage had shown negligence in forclosing, they had forfeited their rights as first mortgagees.

Fishers attorneys cited numerous de cisions in defense of this position from the Supreme courts of Illinois, Montana, Colorado and other States. No ruling on the point had ever been made in Indiana, however. A hard-fought legal battle was made on the question, and Judge West finally held that in this State the first mortgage is always first TheJJStates in which contrary rulings have been made are States which have statutes of {limitation as to the time allowedjjfor the foreclosing of a mortgage after it is due. The newspaper,plant is still in Fisher's possession, however, as he is contesting the genuineness of the first mortgage.
