Another Note for $15.
In the Weaver forgery case nothing new has developed except Theo. McMechan finds himself in possession of a note for $15 signed by the same parties, which proves to be a forgery also. It is understood that Arch Martin, sen., will pay the notes and to secure himself will take possession of Mrs. Weaver's property which is thought to be ample. Mrs. Weaver is now free from the toils and it is hoped will mend her ways.

A Grand Surprise.
On Christmas the family of Daniel Himes, near Ladoga, enjoyed a surprise, the children and grandchildren meeting at the old home, and in the absence of Mrs. Himes, preparing dinner and on her return from church, met her en masse, and all enjoyed a good time. There were, altogether, eleven sons and daughters, besides the sons-in-law and daughters-in-law, making in all a total of twenty-seven. It was a pleasant time and enjoyed by all.
Death of Aaron McCree.
Aaron McOree, who has been ailing for some time, died at his home on Gibson street Thursday at 3 o'clock. Aaron McCree was born and raised in Knoxville, Tenn. He came to this State just before the war. He was a private of Co. E, 14th regiment, U. S. Colored Troops, having enlisted January 14, 1864, and was discharged January 19, 1865. He was 50 years of age at the time of his death. Mr. McCree has been sick for some time, and while he not expected to get well his death was not looked for so soon. He leaves two children and a wife to mourn his loss. The funeral took place from the A. M. E. Church last Sunday Interment at the Masonic Cemetery.
Christmas at Robert's Chapel and Wesley Chapel. On Tuesday evening the young people of Roberts Chapel sang some beau-
tiful pieces of music and recited declamations and distributed gifts from a Christmas tree. The tree was nicely decorated and loaded capacity, containing articles of clothing books, pictures, horns in fact, everything from dolls to gold watches, canned fruits, coffee, lard, potatoes. The last article mentioned were for the pastor and his family. It was a good time.
On Wednesday evening the Epworth League conducted an excellent Literary, songs and declamations. A distribution of gifts from the Sunday School teachers to their classes and from the classes to their teachers followed. At the close the rostrum was piled full of sacks of corn, potatoes, cabbage and corn with packages and cans containing eggs, butter, lard and fruit for the pastor. Elder Nye, of the U. B. church, was present, and uttered some words of
good cheer, This was also an enjoyable ocoasion.

No Superintendent to Be Appointed. General Manager Barnard, of the Ohio, Indiana & Western,has decided to appoint no general superintendent, but will appoint a superintendent of transporation to look after a part of the duties of the general superintendent, aud the remainder will be looked after by the general manager.—Indianapolis Journal.
A Worthy Case.
The well known drayman, Sam Vail, is confined to his bed with rheumatism and his horse is consequently idle. Cicero McLeur is circulating a paper for Sam's benefit. Mr. Vail is a worthy man and has been useful in the city and should not be forgotten in his hour of distress. Some one could make some money for himself and also for Mr. Vail by taking charge of his horse and dray. Let some idle man try it.
Blood Will Tell.
The stock agent of the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago road says that it makes a wonderful difference whether it kills a horse on its cracks in Indiana or Kentucky as to its value. In Indiana $80 will usually satisfy the owner of a horse which chances to get killed, but on the Louisville Southern operated by the L., N. A. fc C., it costs $800 to adjust the loss of a horse, regardless of its age or condition.—Indianapolis Journal.
Enumeration of Ex-Soldiers. The Grand Army of the Republic is to be invited by Superintendent Porter to co-operate with the census enumerators in making as complete as possible the list of names of the surviving veterans of the late war. These enumerators, in addition to their other duties, are required to secure the name of all veterans, the name of the regiment in which each served, the length of service, disability, if any, etc. The pension rolls and the rolls of the Grand Army posts will be used to insure accuracy.
A Temperance Drama,
The irrepressible J. D. Tracy has written a temperance drama which he will soon produce at Crawfordsville. Waveland will probably furnish some of the leading characters.—Waveland Independent.
In explanation of the above, J. D. Tracp wrote a temperance drama, entitled "Life's Harvest" in five acts, but not with the intention of putting it upon the stage, but the Christian Sunday school wishes to and asked the author to engage Mr. Alspaugh, of Waveland, whom he knew to be a gentleman of more than ordinary histrionic talents, to assist in producing the drama. That gentleman wrote declining on account of business engagements which would render it impossible to take part. This is all there is in it.
Soldiers' Meeting.
Pursuant to a call by the State Committee, the soldiers of Montgomery county met in mass convention at the court house in this city Saturday. C. M. Travis was chosen chairman and J. D. Tracy secretary. After a brief stateof the object of the meeting by the chair, and reading selections from the appeal of Gov. Hovey, the following resolution was offered and unanimously adopted:
RESOLVED, that the ex-soldiers of Montgomery county, State of Indiana, in mass convention assembled, do heartily endow the appeal of Governor A. P. Hovey, in his appeal to the citizens of the United States and that we urge our Senators and Representatives in Con-
gress to deal justly with the soldier. He who bared his heart to the leaden storm deserves well of his countrymen.
On motion the Secretary was instructed to forward the resolution to the chairman of the State committee. There being no further business the meeting adjourned.
When the blood is impure, thick, and sluggish, or thin and impoverished, there can be no health. With these conditions, all the functions of the body are impaired, and the result is a variety of complications. The best remedy is Ayer's Sarsaparilla.

A FEMALE FORGER.
MRS. SARAH J. WEAVER SEEKS TO INCREASE HER EXCHEQUER.
Her Fine Italian Hand Places Her Uncle's Name to Notes to the Amount of $490.
It was discovered Dec. 27 that Mrs. Sarah J. Weaver was a forger. The discovery was made in a peculiar way. For some time past Mrs. Weaver has lived in Chicago. A few days ago the First National bank received a letter from a Chicago bank asking if a note bearing the name of Archibald Martin would be discounted. This led to an investigation and it was discovered that Mrs. Weaver had forged the name of Archibald Martin, sr., who is her uncle, to the note in question and was trying to raise money on it, Mr. Martin, of course, pronounced it a forgery and his nephew Arch Martin, jr., of the firm of Tinsley & Martin, made inquiry at the banks for paper bearing the name of his uncle. Ho found notes as follows: At Elston, one for $85 and one for $55 at First National, one for $200, and one for $100 at Citizen's one for $50. Her plan was very simple. She would ask the banks to loan her money, she to give her note for the amount. The bank officials of course required her to furnish good security and she would return in a short time with her uncle's name attached. The imitation was pronounced quite good by those who are familiar with Arch Martin's signature, especially for a woman inexperienced in such things. When Col. Elston learned that he had loaned money on forged paper he immediately took steps to recover it. He knew Mrs. Weaver's postoffice address having been in communication with her. She had written to the bank asking that her note which was due Dec. 22, be extended until Jan. 1, which was granted. So Col. Elston had made arrangement to go Chicago last night, but strange to say, about five o'clock yesterday afternoon she was seen on the streets by Dudley Jackson. The police were notified and all trains were watched but she did not leave town. Then all her old dives, for she is a woman of bad repute, were searched and she was not found. Finally about nine o'clock she was discovered at the house of her sister, Mrs. O. P. Edwards, in the south part of town. Officer Grimes took her to see Col. Elston where she confessed all but assured him that she would make it all right and that her uncle would help her out, but it was thought best keep her safely and she was taken to jail. She was greatly prostrated over the matter. About 10 o'clock Marshal Ensminger took her out to see her uncle, Arch. Martin, who lives near Mace. They returned about 3 o'clock and Mrs. Weaver returned to her cell. It was arranged that Mrs. Weaver should turn over her property to Mr. Martin and he will come in on Monday and settle the whole matter.
It is learned that Mrs. Weaver's forgeries have extended back for at least two years. She first obtained a large sum of money from John E. Humphries by signing her uncle's name to a note. As soon as it was about due she worked the same scheme on some one else to obtain money to pay it off. And so the forgeries went on, each one being necessary to cover up the last one. It is thought that her object was merely to obtain the use of the money and that she did not intend to rob anyone. She owns a house and lot on west Main street worth $1,500.
Death of a Former Student of Wabash. From the Terra Haute Express the following facts are gleaned: James Byrns, a young man of much promise and bright expectations, Sunday at 5:15 o'clock, ended his life by his own hand. Gambling was the immediate cause which wrecked a life full bloom. Decease was once a student of Wabash College and was favorably regarded by all who knew him. His death should be a sad warning to young men who are adicted to gambling, but will it? Time after time these casualties occur and yet the crime goes on. Here is a cloud overspreading a family, caused by this all absorbing mania, a family bowed with grief and a pall of gloom hanging over a household, and yet the fiends who toil not, neither do they spin, continue their hellish work.
Whooping cough, croup, sore throat, sudden colds, and tho lung troubles peculiar to children, are easily controlled hy promptly administering Ayei's Cherry Pectoral. This remedy is safe to take, certain in its action, and addapted to all constitutions. -J..

GENERAL WALLACE'S INVENTION.
He Has a Cross-Tie That May Pay Better Than "Ben Hur." General Lew Wallace, who is of a mechanical turn of mind, has invented a steel cross-tie, with which he expects to revolutionize railroad building, says the Now York Tribune, "A big fortune awaits the author of 'Ben Hur' if he has succeeded in making a tie that can be brought into general use," said a leading railroad contractor. "For many years we have been looking for something to take tho place of oak and pine, both of which are becoming scare and deer. Have you any idea of the number of running feet of timber used as cross-ties on the railroads ol the United States? Of course not. It never occurred to you to make an estimate. Well let's see. Each tie, taking the average size, contains forty feet of lumber—board measure, you understand—and, again taking the average, there are about 2,200 ties to every miles of road, giving us 100,000 feet of lumber and there are now in operation about 150,000 miles of railroad in this country, the total amount of lumber used is 15,000,000,000 feet! Take a pretty big forest to supply that, eh? "Now the timber region ties cost from 30 to 40 cents apiece, but roads, like the Pennsylvania, for instance, that are far from the pine country, have to pay sometimes as much as $1.50 apiece for them. Such roads must soon find a cheaper and if possible a betler material. There have been numerous experiments with metal ties, but none have been entirely satisfactory. There are two difficulties in the way—oost and rigidity. What we want is a tie with a little elasticity and a tie that can be produced at a reasonable price. I have not seen General Wallace's invention, nor have I read a description of it, and am therefore unable to judge its merits. "I wish somebody would invent a continuous rail for roads, a rail that would do away with joints and fishplates. The rattle of the elevated roads, due entirely to these open joints, is enough to drive people crazy. I can't see how people living along the lines ever get used to it. It seems to me there ought to some way of stopping the noise. A method of doing it is worth $100,000 to the discoverer or inventor in cold cash."
The Pettit Case.
Lafayette Courier: A gentleman from Shawnee Mound to-day informed a Courier reporter that there was a great reaction of public sentiment in favor of Mr. Fred. Pettit who is charged with the murder of his wife. He stated that a greater portion of the people in that locality believed him entirely innocent, and that this was especially true of those who condemned him at first and busily employed their time in spreading the rumors. The evidence so far brought against Pettit has changed public opinion to a degree that was remarkable, and the people of Shawnee believed he would bo proven wholly innocent of any crime. At the jail Pettit employs nearly all of his time reading choice literature furnished him by liis friends He doesn't seem to take his confinement in a very serious mood. There is always a pleasant look on his features in fact, he is remarkably composed for one behind the bars on such a serious charge. The statement of the gentleman from Shawnee strangely contrasts with those of Prosecutor Haywood. The latter says he is daily securing additional evidence against the prisoner and will present one of the strongest cases ever in the Tippecanoe courts. He firmly believes he will convict him.
The Farmers' Council.
Hie Montgomery County Farmers' Council was organized Saturday by the election of tlie following officers: Jasper N.
Davidson, President Milton B. Waugh, First Vice President; Mrs. J. A. Mount, Second Vice President; J. E. Lidikay, Recording Secretary; P. S. Kennedy, Corresponding Secretary; Jacob M. Harshbarger, Treasurer. An interesting paper was read by Mr. J. D. Tracy on the growth of plants and whence they drew their substance, showing how largely plants draw on the air and the various grasses arising from tho ground, for their growth. Mrs. J. A. Mount read a paper on How to improve the moral and social condition of Farmers' Families, which was attentively listened to and much applauded. Milton B. Waugh spoke about the raising of sheep for mutton alone, demonstrating that it will pay the farmers of your county to raise sheep without regard to the wool product. The Society starts out with 70 enrolled members. Tho meeting to-day was exceedingly well attended, and this new organization promises to become a leading institution of our county. The constitution is something new in the way of farmers' organizations, embodying provisions for observation and experiment on a large for intelligent farmers.

Wesley, and which resulted in tho organization of the Mothodist church. The meeting is in session this afternoon and will continue until to-morrow noon. To-night Dr. M. M. Parkhurst, pastor of College Avenue church, Greencastle, will deliver an address on "The Use of the Word in Bringing Souls to Christ," followed by consecration service.
A Worm That Eats Steel.
There is a smull worm in Spain that eats the steel rails, and a sad accident has occurred, resulting in the loss of life on one of the railroads where it was found that the rails has been entirely honey-combed where the wreck had occurred. The worm has a small sack on each side of its head filled with acide which its omits every ten minutes, and which renders tho steel soft, spongy and palatable food.
