MONTGOflERY AT FRANKFORT. RURAL MAIL DELIVERY.
NNIn the Vote of the County Was Two
Cast for Mr. McCradle.
In the Editor—Sir: We feel that
it
is due to the inauy friends of the Hod. John G. McCardle of Montgomery county to say that the action of Montgomery county's delegates in casting the solid vote of the county for Mr. McCardle for the nomination for congress at the Frankfort convention was wholly gratuitous on the part of the delegates of Montgomery county, aDd that Mr. McCardle was in no sense a candidate for the nomination before the convention. We desire to thank the delegates of Tipton county for the vote of their county for Mr. McCardle in convention assembled. .»
The delegates to the convention, as well as the people of Montgomery county love and respect Mr. McCardle and they have an abiding faith in the strength of his character and his stalwart democracy, and because the delegates could not and would not refrain from showing their love for him by voting for him, we sincerely hope that no one will do Mr. McCardle the injustice of considering him as having been a candidate for the nominationfor he was not and did not even know that Montgomery county was contemplating the action which they took in the convention

He Did Them Up In Good Style.
Mr. King, the county superintendent of Monroe county, whose infatuation for Nannie Rosebaum, a former resident of Crawfordsville, brought about his downfall, disgrace and liight, as heretofore reported,
Beems
to have bled his
victims to the Queen's taste, whenever he found them. In addition to the forgery of his wife's me to a 31,600 mortgage, the principal charge against him, it appears that hn was guilty of numerous other forgeries, he having borrowed various sums of money from banks and individuals on forged indorsements, usually the names of relatives
The following are some of the amounts King obtained by alleged forgeries. Monroe couDty baok, S700 R. M. Wlie, 61.75 J. F. Blcwett, 8300 E.T.Hancock Sliij'.) W. H. Lewis, 8500 Thomas Sparks, §500. The forged note to the bank was settled by King's father giving a good note.
Just before he left King borrowed from the township trustees the follow ing amounts: Samuel Kerr, of Benton township, S175 Omer Bunger, of Van Buren township, 8300 P. E. Miller, of Bean blossom township, S400. From others he borrowed various amounts aggregating SI,800.
Monon's Splendid Year.
The fiscal year of the Monon ends July 30, and figures so far compiled show the gross earning of the year to have beSn §3,393,000. it is made evident from the report that if rates had been maintained the gross earnings would have been increased fully 8230,000. The operating expenses were maintained at their usual persentage, and the management of the line expects a surplus equal to 3 per cent, on the preferred stock, which undtr the reorganization, amount to 83,880,000, the total amaunt being given in exchange for bonds or cash.
Populist County Convention.
The populists of the county, whatever number they may have, announce a convention to-day at the court house, to nominate county officers. Just what they expect to accomplish by their organization in thiB county is unknown. In the years they have been organized here they have accomplished nothing and bid fair to continue on that line. They are Dot believed to number over fifty in the county.

Routes Established in this
County.
The attempted establishment of a new free delivery of letters, papers and other mailable packages in this county to farmers and others residing at a disiance io the country from the post office is to be put under way at once. Two routes for trial have been established. One runs east from the city to Gov. Mount's residence and returns to the city by a road south of it. About 125 families will be served. The south route runs into Brown, Clark and Union townships extending probably ten miles from the post office. On the tirst route Frank Clements has been appointed carrier, and on the south route WmDaggett, and they will begin work probably next week. The establishing of what is termed the rural mail delivery is more in the nature of on expermeut tnan anything else. If it can be managed so as not to cost too much, is found to be convenient and necessary, it will be continued, and similar routes will be established in time all over the United State. The carriers make S300 per year each. They are allowed to carry packages for persons along the route the same as the express companies, this being aside line as it were. Farmers are asked only to provide boxes where their mail may be deposited.
BEN FLY.
Reported to Have "Crossed Over
the Divide."
Report arr.ved here on Tuesday of the reported death of Ben Fly. a former well known individual of this city. Fly left here last November to seek a fortune in the uncertain gold mining regions of Alaska, and arrived there about, the lirst of January. Wednesday a letter from Fly was received by by his wife which at once proved the report untrue. It is as follows: "Dyea, Alaska, July 10, 1808— Dear Pet.—I have just received your letter of June 25. I don't understand why you have not received mine as I have written every two weeks. My last letter was a little longer as I waited for postal order. I sent you -S50 in my last letter of about a week a*o. I am attending to a toll bridge now and am well and comfortable in every way. I will be here until fall but since you worry so I will come home. I put in most of the twenty-four hours at my work, but it is not haul work and it pays me 875 a month. I am working for J. F. Jack who could post you if I should go away. The woods near my cabin burned yesterday end 1 nearly lo6t my cabin, but we saved that though it burnedS 75 worth of timber I had on hand. The weather is co'd here. Ice hangs in the mountains yet. 1 have the newspaper clipping you sent me. See that my dues in the lodge are paid.
Don't worry about me. I am all right. Lovingly, B. F. Fly.
Who Were They.
Two men, strangers in this community, appeared at all the news paper offices in town on Thursday, all gently requested that the papers would say nothing about "that dillieulty between us two, a- it has been satisfactory settled." One of them had a well cultivated black eye seemingly caused by a brick or fist. What their difficulty had been none seemed to koow, nor were their names or location learded. It was subsequently ascertained that the wife of one of the men had been on too intimate terms with the other fellow, had been caught, and hence the difficult.
Leg Taken Off.
Mat McNierney of this city had his leg cut off from falling under a train on the Lake Erie road, east of Frankfort, on Sunday. He aime'd to board a train going to Tipton and in taking hold of the car while it was in motion wae thrown under it with the result stated above. He is now at a hospital at Frankfort.

THE WAR SITUATION.
Gen. Miles Effects a Landing in
Puerto Rico with But Little
Trouble.
There is little in the war intelligence this wee' of a very thrilling nature—no battles nor engagements rising to the dignity even of a small skirmish. The most important affair this week was the advance and landing of Gen. Miles ou the island of Puerto Rico, which is told in the following message: "St. Thomas, July 26, 1898, 9:35 p. Circumstances were such that I deemed it advisable to take the harbor of Guanica first, fifteeo miles west of Ponce, which was successfully accomplished betweeo daylight and 11 o'clock. Spaniards surprised. The Gloucester, Cammander Wainwright, first entered the harbor met with slight resistance fired a few shots. "All the transports are now in the harbor and infantry and artillery rapidly going ashore. This is a well protected harbor. Water bufficiently deep for all transports and heavy vessels to anchor within two hundred yards of shore. "The^Spanish flag was lowered and the American flag raised at 11 o'clock to-day. Capt. Iligginson, with his fleet, has rendered able and earnest assistance. Troops in good health and best of spirits. No casualties.
Milks,
Major-General Commanding Army." It is the intention of (r9n. Miles to begin the conquest of the island with a force of from 25,000 to 30,000 men, and which it is believed can be accomplished within two or three weeks.
There is nothing new to report from the situation at Manilla within the past few days. Dewey has been reinforced
by the arrival of from 0000 to 7000 men within the past month from San Francisco, and is ready, it is understood, to begin the bombardment of Manilla. A large number of war vessels from foreign powers are at present in the tiarbor of Manilla to watch the interests of the countries they represent, and witness the fight when it occurs.
There are daily reports of a probable peace between this country and Spain. The reports need verification. It would seem that the Spanish leaders at Madrid are bereft of Bense and foresight. Their navy is nearly completely destroyed and their landed possessions being taken from them, yet like animals withou, instinct, they want to continue to fight, although it perfectly useless to them.
A NAUGHTY PHYSICIAN
At Darlington, Guilty of Unlawful
Conduct, is Compelled to
Leave.
Occasionally Darlington comeB to the front with, a sensation, and it did so last week. This time, as oftimes before, the leading character in the excitement was a physician. The medical gentleman refered to has resided in the town for some years, has professed to heing a God-fearing man being a membor of church and a leader in Sunday school work. He is married, and his conduct may lead to a suit in court for divorce. It was ascertained that this M. D. was in the habit of passing nights frequently with an unmarried woman whose people were away from home frequently. A son-ir-law caught on to what was going m, and one morning discovered the physician coming from the house which he knew should have been occupied only by the young lady.
The indietant scn-in-Iaw at once demanded an explanation from the M. D. which was far from satisfactory and he gave him 24 hours to leave town with the information that it would be dangerous to remain in the locality any longer. He has left.
