CRA WFORDSVILLE, INDIANA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12,

Daniel Hannifan, of Ladoga, Has

Right Arm Taken Off by

Thrown Under a Car.

Monday, near noon, Daniel Ilannifan, of Ladoga, while climbing from a car near the Monon depot met with an accident by which his right arm was cut off near the elbow. Hannifan was not in the employ of the company, but was climbing down from a Dox car at the time. A car from a freight train was being switched to a Bide tracK and in passing the break beam of it struck Hannifan, knocking him to the side of the track with his right arm extended across the rail. Two wheels of the car pasted over it cutting it off near the shoulder. Physicians were at once called to his aid who bathed and bandaged the portion of the arm remaining. It is thought no further danger will result from the accident. He had formerly been a brakeman on the Big Four.

Supreme Court Decision

18,596. Lewis W. Cochran vs. James White, trustee, Montgomeay C. C- Affirmed. Howard, J. (1) The provisions of ActB, 1889, page 53, as to the repair by the township trustee of "all ditches and rains" constructed under the general iaw. apply to a public tile drain. (2) The enforcement by the trustee of an allotment for the repair of a drain will not be restrained by injunction, because the land-owner had a remedy by appeal from the allotment when it was made. (3) Acts -ge 271, applies only to tile drains that are properly laid, and where one is'too shallow, a land-owner nay be compelled to repair allotment of it by uncovering the tile and lowering it to a depth not greater than the original specitica tiona required it to be burled.

Forty-One Divorce Cases.

Forty-one divorce cases were set for trial in the Clay county circuit court this week, but Judge McGregor put his etamp of disapproval on thirty-six of them and continued them until the next term of court. He says he is determined to break up the granting of divorces by wholesale in that county, and that no more will be granted without gilt-edge reasons. Divorces were granted in the followiug cases: Charlotte Miller from Daniel Miller, Julia McCloskey from Ulysses McCloskey, Esther Grifen from John Grifen, Minnie Robertson from Thomas Robinson and Stevens from Elizabeth Stevens. Thomas Robinson was formerly county surveyor and his wife made many sensational charges against him.

A Damage Suit.

Paul McGinnis, manager of the Ladoga opera house, has a damage suit on his hands in which the sum of S5,000 is demanded. The plaintiff is Mrs. Margaret Messick, who in her complaint states that in coming from the opera house in June last through neglect of McGinnis the egress wasnot sufficiently constructed or guarded, and in consequence she fell and broke her hip, and believes she will be a permanent cripple.

Filled a Pauper's Grave.

The man found dead in a car on the Monon road last week was burried on Saturday evening in the cemetery attached to the poor asylum, no word having been received from relatives or friends—if he had any. From word received from Chicago it was learned that the deceased had followed the occupation of a peddler, had been in poor health and was about 28 years of age.

The Bishof Building.

Workmen are now engaged in the construction of the 4th story of the Bischof building, and within a month it will probably be enclosed and ready for the plasterers. It will probably tuke until Match or April until the building i? completed and ready for occupancy. It will be decidedly the best constructed business house heretofore erected in this city.

Tax Paying.

Tax pay'ng last week at the county treasurer's ollice is quite lively, and a large sum of money paid in for State and county purposes. On Saturday near 813,000 was paid in on taxes, and on Monday an amount nearly as large. The 10 per cent, penalty has been added to all delinquent taxes.

Meteoric Shower.

The meteoric showers which have been predicted by astronomers, are looked for to-morrow night, and if the atmosphere is clear at the time, the shower of "stars" can no doubt be seen by those desiring to witness the spectacle.

Our former fellow citizen, Henry Williams, is in town visiting among relatives and friends. Mr. Williams reBides near Fort Worth, Texas.

^ORDSVILLE REVIEW.

Bacterial Rot of Cabbage.

IJAFAYKTTE, IND., November 7.—The exper,nient station of the Purdue University agricultural department has issu"d the following with-reference to bacterial rot of cabbage.

Several fields in the vicinity of Lafayette affected with this bacterial disease, have been examined by the writer the present season. La one of these fields, containing over 20,000 plant*, which were attacked early in the season not a Bingle marketable head was obtained. In other fields, judging from a cursory examination, from 10 to 50 pencent. of tha heads were affected.

IB view of these facts, it has been thought best to send out a note of waning in regard to the disease, in osder that such precautionary measures asare deemed most valuable may be at) once employed in keeping it in check.. Portu nately the life history of the disease has been quite thoroughly studied of late and the result of the investigations, together with other valuable information, may be found in bulletin No. 65, of the Wisconsin Experiment Station, and Farmers' Bulletin No. 68 of the Unitod States Department of Agriculture. The latter bulletin is sent free on application to the Secretary of Agriculture.

The conclusions of these investigators, al hough working independently, are essentially thesame. Both are agreed that the only hope of successfully combating the disease is in the careful observance of several precautionary measures.

Precautionary Measures—As there is no remedy known, preventive measures must be relied on in combating the. disease. These measures are as follows:

Avoid planting in laud on which infected plants have been grown. Several years may be necessary to rid the land the germs.

Do not use manore containing de cayed cabbage leaves, or stalks either in the seed bed or field.

Wet land should be avoided, as it fa vors the development of the disease. Keep the plants as free from insects as possible.

Remove and destroy all diseased plants or portions of the plant, as soon as dia eased condition is noticed.

SCRAPS.

The average hight of the elephant is nine feet. Coffee trees produce up to the age of seventy-five.

Brazil is now the principal coffee producing country of the world. In 1895 the crop was estimated at 7,000,000 bags.

A recent Parisian law compels all the theaters to have in attendance a doctor or a surgeon during all the performances.

The Way They Bled the Candidate*.

Was a Sight to. be Remem

bered.

The last four are five days before the election was a harvest for the dead beats and loafers, of town, and many of the candidates will remember-their incursions upon, them for many months to come. They paid their respects to all the candidates of all parties who would give them i*o minutes audience, and candidates being compelled to be patient, forbearing and long suffering generally listened to them. Many of the dsad beats would strike a candidate one day for a quarter, next day for a half dollar, and as the election drew near prices rose and two dollars,, five dollars and some even de. manded ten dollars for their "influence" and labor for a candidate. Some of them worked the business systematic ally and by pulling $5 or $10 from each candidate who would stand the bleeding process, were enabled to accumulate from $20 to 830, and oven more. Toward the laet the importunities of the6e jackets tecame more oppressive, and a veral of the candidates secreted themselves from view during all of Monday to get away from them. One candidate hid himself in a toom in the Ramsey block and had his meals brought to him, thus escaping the cyclone, and although earnest efforts were made by these men of "influence" to uncover him, they were unsuccessful. Another candidate was 'n hiding in a law office, and succespfully evaded all attempts to discover him. It is shameful the way candidates are bled, yet the dead beats have bled them this way for thirty years past. If a law oould be enacted disfranchizing buyers and sellers of votes it would in. deed be a blessing. The Australian ballot voting system while an improvement over the old way, does not stop vote selling. Permanent disfranchisement would.

Getting in Better Shape. The Danville Press, speaking of financial difficulties which ..\ rounded Mr. J. H. LaPearl, the show man, Bays:

The financial straits of the LaPearl shows are over. At a meeting of the creditors last evening, Mr. Donaldson, of Cincinnati, bought up all the claims of the Danville parties, thus putting him in possession of the shows. He will pay the expenses of wintering the same and will start the show out in the spring under the management of Mr. LaPearl, and that gentleman is to have five years in which to pay off the claims Mr. LaPearl was in pretty good spirit last evening over the final settling of the finances and his many friends will t$r joice with him when they read

and Returned Hone.

All the companies composing the 158th regiment, were paid off at Camp Mount, Indianapolis, on Friday last, and ooon after dispersed to their homes. The members of company arrived home here on Saturday or at lea&t most of tLem. The amounts received in cash varied from $60 to $70 to each enliBted private, the officers, of course, receiving more. It is somewhat disgusting to Dotice that a number of the boys made bad uses of their money, and visiting a number of saloons.soon became glori~ ously full. This in.tikeir sober momenta they will regret* The money thrown away in having a "good time" would have greatly aided them in getting through the ensuing winter when busiceBS is dull aad work hard to secure. There were, however, quite a number of them who dad not throw awBj their money and are not going to. Soma placed their earnings in the bank, and, others gave it to their parentB.
