WHAT IS THIS?
Were the Last Words of Hon. R. B.
F. Pierce, as He Fell Forward
Dead, at His Residence in Indian
apolis on Monday Last.
Hotn. R. B. F. Pierce, long and favorably known to the citizens of Montgomery county, died at his residence on north Meridian street, Indianapolis, on Monday morning last, near the hour of 9 o'clock. His death was quite eud den, being seated a chair reading, when he fell forward, gave a sudden gasp, and expired. His son, Edward Pierce, was present. He had handed him a newspaper, and looking up, Mr. Pierce exclaimed, "What is this?"'and nis head falling forward on his breast, he breathed his last,
Mr. Pierce was a native of Indiana, born in Franklin county, aud was 55 years of age. He was a student of Wabash college befor the war, but during its progress. entered the army for two or more years, but returned and graduated in tbe class of 1866. He studied law at Shelbyville and was city attorney for that city during the first few years of his legal career. He returned here in 1868, and with the late William Brush practiced law. While a resident here he was elected as a representative in Congress, defeating BayleBS W. Hanna by a majority of 2,200. He was again a candidate in 1882, but WHS defeated by John Lamb, of Terre
Haute. He returned to the practice of law aud was soon favored with a large .unount of lucrative business, chiefly fr railroads and other corporations. In 1885 be was chosen general counsel of the Indianapolis, Decatur & Western railroad, and elected one of its directors. The more conveniently to manage this business he removed to IndianapoliB.
In 1889, as one of the trustees under the first mortgage, he took posession of the Indianapolis, Decatur & \Vestern railroad and managed its business until May, 1894, when the road was sold. The new company asked him to remain and made him general manager of the property.
He was twice married, in I860 to Hattie Blair, daughter of J. W. of this city, who died in 1878. Of this union two children survive—a daughter, Lois J., who married William Hughes, and a son, Edwin B. He was married a second time in 1886 to Mrs. Alice W. Van Valkenburg, of Plymouth, a daughter of Arazi Wheeler.
From his second wife Mr. Pierce, it is tnderstood, was divorced over a year since, and she is now traveling in Asia. They own jointly the Meridian street residence. He carried insurance on his life to the amount ol' 810,000 payable to his children.
"Sunshine of Paradise Alley."
The long-eought theatrical prize, a Becond "Old Homestead"—The Sunshine of Paradise Alley"—will havo its
first
presentation in Music Hall W ednesday night, Dec. 14 If the author, Denman Thompson, had any misgivings about the reception of his work by the public of New York where it was iirst produced, thinking, perhaps, that dealing,
HB
it does, with New ork life, it
might not interest the people as well as bis earlier work on New England life as depicted in "The Old Homestead,'' they were dispelled by the extraordinary patronage accorded the piece in New York and Boston, in which cities it enjoyed long runs. There is sparkling streams of pure and simple humor running through the piece that could not do otherwise than win the the hearts of all. There is no one who will not be touched by the moiherly interest that the Widow McNally takes in the dillerent characters in the play, and by the ministrations of Sunshine, the heroine of the play, who comforts the sick, helps the struggling, and reproves the erring and wayward. It is noteworthy that the play has received the sanction of the New York and Boston pulpit aud Sunday schools, because of its purity and wholesoaieness. Besides the cast, the ear will be enchanted with excellent music seldom heard in any other entertainment.
To be Moved from Ladoga.
The W. F. Epperson circled heading company, of Ladoga, Ind., is negotiating with the business men of Danville with a view of putting in a factory here. It is
pretty
certain that the factory will
come here and it will be a big thing for Danville. The factory has been located in Liidoga for over twelve years, but the supply of timber ha6 become exhausted in that vicinity, which compels the factory to seek a new location, and Danville just about suits them. Tho factory employs between sixty and seventy hands.—Danville Newt.

Swindled by Lightning Rod Hen.
A few days ago two well to do farmers, living several miles northoast of this city, were badly swindled by lightning rod men. Two well dressed men drove up to the farmers'houses pretending
to want
to buy a horse. They go to
the barn and find that the farmer has just the horse to suit and price all right and the trade is made vflhen the swindlers tell the farmers that they are also in the lightning rod business and would like to rod their barns and bouses just to advertise their business in their community and propose to put up 200 feet of rod on the buildings provided he would deduct §5 from the price of the horse, which the unsuspecting farmer of course, agrees to. The swindlers pretenddd to read a contract which tbey hurredly drew up and asked the fanners to sign which when put ioto the hands of parties who can read English proves to be a contract to have several hundred feet more rod put up than the contract as read to him called for, 1 the rate of cents per foot.
One of the farmers compromised for §50 cash and keeps his horsp. Ihe other has not yet settled with the swindlers, but has taken legal advise preparatory to a settlement should they attempt to demand anything more than the contract as read to him cajjedJoiv— Brazil Miner.

Is the Sentence of a Clinton Connty
Murderess.
The jury in the Clinton county circuit court, which, during the past few da\s has been hearing and considering the evidence and arguments in the case of tbe State versus Mrs. Henry Shenkenberger, indicted for the murder in August last—by arsenical poisoning—of her daughter in-law, Mrs. Edward Shenkenberger, retired Saturday evening, shortly arter 6 o'clock, and at 9 p. m. came into court and announced its n" elusion, the verdict being,guilty of murder in the first degreee and imprisonment during life. The trial aroused more attention than any case that ever came before a court in Clinton count). The convicted woman is a confirms! slave to morphine. Her husband wan born in Lafayette, and was a brother of the late Otto Shenkenberger, who conducted a bar-room, at No. 100 Mai" street, in Lafayette. The murdered murdered woman's maiden name w«s
Belle Sheridan, and she married E ward Shenkenbcrger in 1894. It was not clearly shown what motive—oth^r than hatred—actuated Mrs. Ileurx Shenkenberger to poison her daughter in-laW.

The Gas Supply.
Tte gas supply most of this week has been quite light, aud if this city ie now being furnished with the fuel through the F'liokfot' line, an intended, the I'jbiio hat D'. tv. -m ti increase. Witbir a iarg..- number of patrons jf (he (.iimynoy *41 wwhdraw from it, being satisfied that they cannol depend upon it for a regular and permanent agency for furnishing them neat. If the supply of gas is diminishing, which many do not believe, then the remaing patrons of the company can probably have more of it than is now given. At Richmond, Anderson and Wabash the 6ame loud complaints of gas shortage is heard as here, and many persons in those cities are beginning to again use wood aud coal.
Whether the same gas syndicate controls the plants in these places that manages the one here we are not advis ed. If there is no actual shortage of gas then the syndicate is pursuing certainly a very short sighted plan to force its patrons into the use of meters through which it might hope to increase its revenue. People who cease the use of gas now will in moBt cases abandon it permanently, and the revenues of the company be continually lessened.
Killed By the Cars.
John Parke was killed by the care at Yeedersburg Wednesday and some allege that his death was simply suicide. The Covington Friend*speaking of the man, sav6: "John Parks was about thirty-live years of age. He formerly lived in Yeddo, having moved to Yeedersburg only laet summer, lie Was a married man, but has not live 1 with his wife for some time. She is the woman who created quite a sensation about a year ago by eloping with John Allen Fruits, The woman soon returned and was re ceived by the deceased. They moved to Yeedersburg, but d'd live together but a
Bliort
time. They separated and
the woman went
to
Crawfordsville
where she now resides."
Made Them Settle.
Prosecutor Reeves came up Wednesday to try the cases against about a dozen young bloods over in Sugar Creek township for disturbing a box supper given on Nov. 4, by the Potato Creek school taught by N. B. Couberly. The cases were tried before Squire Frank Waugh, a newly elected justice. Orval Crull received S'J.Gi), Arthur Gray 8E).45, Joe Ttiee $9.45, Earl Peterson S9.1G, Jesse Kirk $8.15, and Harley Kirk 88.15 as gentle reminders of their waywardness. Some others were dismissed for want of evidence and three intictments are preferred against Marry Riley, who has left the country. -Darlington Echo.

58TH YEAR.- NO. 14
They Downed the "Kunnel."
I hat was an unkind joke that someot the patriots practiced on Jobn Wingata Saturday Dight. Mr. Wingate hails from Montgomery county, and just now is busy coddling Albert J. Beveridge'a boom lor the Senate. Mr. Wingate was told in confidence that a combination was to be formed against bis candidate that very night, and he proposed to b*6\' on guard. At 11 o'clock p. in., J. Frank Har.ley dropped into the Denison. Half an hour later, Frank Posey went upstairs, regardless of the elevator. At midnight George W. Steele suddenly appeared. Ah, there was the consternationl But why go into details?
While the senatorial candidates were snoring in their respective bede at 3 a. m. Sunday morning, the foot-falls of the guarnian of the Beveridge boom was heard in the almost deserted office of the hotel. As the cocks crew, tha statesman from Montgomery "tumbled" and went to bed.—Indianapolis News.
