CITY AND VICINITY.

TUB bill of County Superintendent Clodfelter for the lust quarter was cut down about $7!) by the Commissioners. Auditor Watson is one ahead of Clodfelter.

A r.CMOB was in circulation on the streets yesterday that President Grant had been assassinated. Inquiry at Indianapolis by telegraph, however, failed to elicit any confirmation of the story.

We understand we were in error last week in stating that Arch Johnson had returned to the Democratic fold. He is still working in the ranks of the Independents. We supposed the information on which we based the statement to be entirely reliable.

A Finn was discovered in the south room of the jail last Thursday afternoon which caused a good deal of smoke and created some alarm. It destroyed the tick and straw of one bed, but did no other damage. The frightened prisoners took refuge from the smoke in the northern part ot the buildimr. They say the tire originated from a coal from a pipe which one of them was smoking. I

TJIE Clowser-lihoads case from Sugar Creek 'township, which lias figured so long in our Circuit Court, was tried again at the present term, the jury returning a verdict for Hhoads. The case was a suit by Daniel Clowser against Daniel Rhonda for a year's rent of a farm

owned by dowser and occupied by ltlioads. The amount of the rent was ji37f. The only question was a question of fact as to whether or not the money had been paid. Two previous juries! had been unable to decide the matter, but the present jury, after being out about five hours, decided that the money had been paid.

Our Eyes.

We are exceedingly cautious in recommending traveling physicians,yet when we find one whose talents and skill are endorsed by the best medical men in the .^tate we feel that we run no risk in prerenting them in the most favorable light, We have just met one whom we can certainly endorse. We allude to Dr. Sasseratli, an eminent French Oculist, who is highly recommended by Dr. Fitch, of Logansport, Drs. Gliek, O' Farrell, and other physician* of LaFayette, and scores of the best citizens (»f other places. It you have weal or diseased eyes, give Dr. Sasserath a call, ah.I we are satisfied that he will give you entire satisfaction.—-Del-, phi Journal.

The Doctor is visiting this citv, and our citizens will have an opportunity of becoming acquainted with him. He will be at the Richardson House to-day. He receives large numbers of complimentary letier-i from every place he has ever visited.

Commissioners' Court.

The County Commissioners adjourned iaat Wednesday, the term having expired by limitation. The following additional business has been transacted since our last report:

I'etition of S. S. Detchon to have streets and alleys in Ninv Richmond vacated. Granted.

W. A. Carney was awarded the contract to roof the stable at the county jail .'or $1G, the county to furnish all material.

A contract was made with Thompson B. Stevens, guardian of J. W. Hulett, insane, to keep said Hulett at the County Asylum for S3 per week

The City School Trustees appeared on Saturday and asked that the time for making their report be extended to the K)th *f October, the regular time. Granted.

In the matter of the petition of P. S. Kennedy and others for a highway near the toll gate on the Crawfordsville & VountHviile turnpike, new viewers were appointed, to meet on the 18th of November.

An order was passed directing the Sheriff to charge other counties ior prisoners confined in our jail the sum of 15 cents per day each for fuel and lights.

Resolutions of Condolence. At a regular meeting of Ridgely Lodge No. 61, I. O. 0. F., convened in tlieil* lodge room September 14, 1S74, a committee was appointed to draft resolutions upon the death of Brother 0. B. Wilson.

Whereas it has pleased Almighty God to summon from his labors on earth our beloved brother, O. B. Wilson, calling him by His omnipotent will to that judgment which awnits all and whereas the lies of Odd Fellowship which have so long bound uh to .-ether in Friendship, Love and Tiuth to our departed brother are severed, no more to be reunited until the day when the grave shall give up its dead therefore,

Be it rewired, That we sincerely mourn the loss of our departed brother, bearing in remembrance nis fidelity to Odd Fellowship and his devotion to the principles ,, tlioreot.

Jx'cHuirctl, That we sincerely sympathize with tho bereaved family and friends of our deceased brother, and tender to them that eom.olation which the world can neither give nor take away and that we will wear the usual badge of mourning for the period of thirty days.

JleKotful, That a copy of this preamble and resolutions be furnished the family of our deceased brother, and a copy inserted in the Crawfordsville JOI'UNAL.

Committee.

The Crimiual Business in the Circuit Court. The trial of criminal causes occupied most of the time in the Circuit Court on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The following cases were disposed of:

The case against Jacob Fall for grand larceny was dismissed on the ground that the defendant was idiotic and not. responsible. The offense with which he was charged was committed at Beckville last Spring.

The case of Philip Bible, prosecuted for malicious trespass, was dismissed on account of a mistake in the name of the party against whom the trespass was committed.

State vs. Win. Townsley and Allen Gilkey, for disturbing a meeting. Townsley tried by a jury, found guilty, and fined five dollars. The case against Gilkey was dismissed for want of evidence to sustain the charge.

State vs. F. 1*. Wagner and John Swank for disturbing a meeting. Swank pleaded guilty and was fined five dollars. No arrest wasmAdein Wagner's case.

State vs. Milton Stuekley, assault and battery. Trial by jury and the defendant acquitted.

State vs. Jasper l'orter, attempt to provoke an assault from Ada Dickniau. Convicted and fined thirteen dollars. This ease was tried on an appeal from Mayor Coons.

State vs. Anna Peters, for assault and battery committed against Mrs. Elizabeth Sanders. Defendant found guilty and fined one cent.

State vs. Frank King, for grand larceny. Trial by jury, defendant found guilty and sentenced to three years in the penetentiary.

State vs. Matthew Louften, for grand larceny. Tried by jury, defendant found guilty and sentenced to four years imprisonment.

State vs. Robert Henry, for grand larceny. Plea of guilty. Sentence not passed.

State vs. Isaac R. Miller, for petit larceny. Plea of guilty. No sentence announced.

State vs. Israel K. Kirk, ol Darlington, for selling liquor to a person in the habit of becoming intoxicated. Acquitted.

In the case of the State vs. John O'Neal, for obtaining a signature under false pretenses, the indictment was quashed and the defendant discharged.

Cases against Frank Carson, Ed Carson and Besserick Kenisey, for grand larceny, and against W. L. Brown for,selling liquors on Sunday, go over till next Tuesday.

Cnah System. The converting of a livery stable into a dry goods store is not a wonderful work in these days of change and improvement, but it is a wortr that no everybody would think of undertaking. It has been done in our city this Summer, however, and the change is as complete as could be made. The room occupied by Cooper'e livery stable only a few months ago is now the largest and finest dry goods store in the city. It was formally taken possession of this week by McClure & Fry and filled with an immense stock of dry goods, clothing, boots and shoes and carpets. It is supplied with new counters, shelving and cases, all arranged for the mutual accommodation of customers, clerks and proprietors. It is well lighted, and is in all respects the handsomest and best arranged store room in town.

The firm of McClure & Fry have long been acknowledged leaders among our dry goods men. Their success is a gratifving proof of the good results ol the cash system. They have fitted up an enclosure and supplied a desk for a cash clerk, but they have no place for a book keeper. They keep no accounts with their customers. Their sales are all cash. And yet they have long been pushed for room to hold the goods required to supply the demands of their
