Willis Scoring, familiarly known a9 "Nig," arrived home Dec. 2" and was at once arrested on a grand jury indictment charging him with the robbery of the Hills grocery on Chestnut street several months since.

A Serious Runaway.
A serious runaway accident occurred on Thursday near the farm of Chris Dice to Grant Foster, a boy living with Robert Threldkeld, near Shannondale. The coupling pin of the wagon came out, which frightened the horses, causing them to run away. The wagon was completely demolished and the boy was badly injured about the head and shoulders by being thrown out of the wagon. The team was found next morning near Shiloh church.

On Christmas at the home of Mrs. EH. Mills, east College street, occurred a very pleasant family reunion it being the 85th birthday of her father, Mr. Michael Barnes. There were present: Mrs. A. PoAder, of Indianapolis Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Stout, ot Cincinnati Mr. and Mrs. Dr. Tucker, of Bowers Mr. and Mrs. Wilkinson and daughters, of Alamo. The day was very pleasantly spent. Some valuable and useful presents were given Mr. Barnes. Taking it altogether, it was a very p'easant family reunion and we hope that all may live to enjoy many more of them.
Fire in a Pamt House.
About 12:30 o'clock last Saturday the alarm of fire was sent in from the heading factory and the department called out to the plant of the Indiana Wire Fence Company. The brick paint house some distance removed from the rest of the plant had taken fire in some unknown manner and was blazing a-.vav quite merrily. The department was promptly on the ground but the hose was not of suflicient length so more was brought out but all in vain. The oils and paints made a better fire than natural gas could do and burned all the afternoon. The loss is considerable.

fighting Over Bones.
Rumor has it that some new claimants to the land, or an undivided share of it, where the tusk and perhaps bones of tho mastodon are imbeded are coming to to the face. If such be the fact it will require investigation to determine rights, and the Monarch of the Post Tertiary period may have a further lease of hie watery bed.

J±APP5T CHRISTMAS.
joicings and Gree'ings Over the Home Gathering of Wm. Shuiar. Wm. Shular arrived home over the Motion on Friday morning and tin-re W.-IP A joyous meeting shortly afterwards at tho Shular homo on east College Street. Tho parents of Will, as well as himself, consider the parole its tho greatest Christmas gift that could bo bestowed by human hands. About 10 o'clock Will Shular came down to the office of Chas. M. Travis, and with great emotion heartily thanked him for his successful efforts in having tho Governor grant a parole, and Mr. Travis told him that the only thing he desired in return for his eflort, was that he would not make it necessary to can.-el tho parole. He also informed Shular that he had made a solemn promise to Gov. Chas?, that if he did not live up to the requirements of the parole, that word should be immediately telegraphed to headquarters, and he earnestly desired that Shular would never take another drop of whisky, and then he knew that the parole would etand as it is now. Shular presented Mr. Travis with a beautiful cane made of sole leather at the penitentiary, by a man named Fowler, a life time prisoner from Lafayelte. Mr. Shular said that his mother was almost afraid to have him come down in town as she did not want him to get out of her sight. There was a cheerful Christmas dinner at the Shular household and all united in unbounded rejoicing over the fact that the wayward son had been reclaimed and returned.
A Bad Brood.
Henry Hunter, of incest and bigamy fame, lives with.his family upon Franklin street near Elm. Tho neighbors have not been aware of the character of the gang until Dec. 26, when a jolly Christmas fight occurred. Mrs. Hunter, or rather Mrs. Elmore since her marriage with Hunter is void, went with her son to Alamo yestorday leaving the house in the care of relatives. Along in the evening Hunter came home as drunk as a beast and found his sister and her husband sitting on tho side of the bed. With an oath he attacked his brother-in-law, who quickly felled him to the floor and was proceeding to make Christmas hash of him when Hunter's brother. Albert, stepped in. Albert is the youngster who went to Danville in the vain attempt to marry Lucinda, the victim of his brother's crime. Albert pulled Henry's assailant olf and the tight then became general, extending to the street where stones and clubs were gathered up for use by the rival factions. So loud and disgraceful did the racket become that the neighbors ran out and separating the combatants sent for tho police. At the mention of the police the whole brood turned in and locked the doors and windows of the house. Two policemen who soon arrived were unable to gain admittance, the late combatants keeping as still as death behind the barricaded doors. Later in the evening three other officers arrived to attempt to pull the roost, but with like success, the birds of ill omen refusing to open the doors or pay any heed to the voice of the law.
A $6,000 Horse Trade.
A few weeks ago Lew Cochran sold a fine stallion, Webber, to J. Lee Newton, of Peoria, 111., proprietor of the Spring Farm, at a handsome figure. Mr. Cochran immediately purchased of Burgen Brotheis, of Wenona, 111., a fine English hackney, for which he paid a good, round price. Mr. Newton hearing that this horse was the finest in America, immediately dispatched a messenger, John Staley,to make tho purchase of this horse. Mr- Cochran sold him for $6,000 cash, and Mr. Staley left Monday afternoon with what he considers great prize. Mr. Cochran will leave alpo on Monday to make the purchase of another fine horse.
They Uhose Prof. Studley.
Prof. Studloy, of Cornell University, N. Y., arrived in the city Dec. 25 to consult with the authorities of Wabash college in regard to tho chair of mathematics. The committee was so favorably impressed with Prof. Studley that ho was offered the position for the rest of the year on trial. He left that afternoon for his home in Ithica, N. Y., to consult with his wife and will let the committee have his decision by next Tuesday. Prof. Studley is a fine look'ng gentleman, 38 years of age, a graduate of Cornell and a ripe scholar. He is married but has no children.
Wants Satisfaction.
Fred Schweitzer has entered a civil suit against Peter Fisher for $200 damages sustained to his musical ear by the knife of Mr. Fisher on Thursday. Mr. Fisher became perfectly rational last evening and was accordingly released this morning, whereupon Mr. Schweitzer had him rearrested on a charge of assault and battery. As Mr. Schweitzer was unable to appear against him, Mr. Fisher's trial will not occur until a Jan-

Christmas at Waynetown/"
The citizens of Waynetown gave the worthy poor of that place a royal Christmas. A huge tree was erected and all the citizens of means brought in flour, meat, clothes, etc., for the poor. All the indigent families of the town were then called in and food enough to last them for quite a season was given them.

THE MUSICAL AMATEURS
A Brilliant Gathering at the Home of Mrs. E. B. Thomson. By special invitation tho Musical Amateur Society met at tho elegant home of Mrs. E. B. Thomson, on wes Wabash avenue, Monday afternoon and wore delightfully entertained by section third, under the skillful management of Mrs. A. B. Anderson, who is to bo congratulated on tho success of tho afternoon's entertainment. The papers read by Mrs. Hadley and Mrs. Walter were brilliant and instructive. Miss Helen Watson's violin solo was well rendered. Miss Maud Cowan and Mrs. Hughes sang very beautiful solos. The piano duet by Mrs. Walter and Miss Campbell, and the piano quartette by Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Severson, Miss Wolfe and MisB Campbell deserve special menticn. Owing to illness of some of tho members the vocal quartette was omitted, but the vtcancy was well supplied by MisB Mary Thomson, who sang a waltz song very beautifully and in response to an encore from the ladios she sang a pleasing little ballad very sweetly. At the request of the society
Mr. Ed Brandkamp (who was an invited guest) played one of his best pieces in his usually pleasing manner. It was indeed an aftornoon delightfully spent and long to be remembered. The visitors present were Miss Agnes Nellie Dilke, of Indianapolis, Mrs. E. B. Thomson, Miss Mary Thomson and Mr. Ed Brandkamp. The following is the programme in full: Morltz Moskowski- Sketch.

A Remarkable Family..
Tho current number of tho Western Horseman contains a lengthy write up of Gae Grimes and his daughters. Mr. Grimes is stated as having one of tho best records in tho world as a driver, having given 17 fine trotters and 11 pacers their records. The Horseman htis the following to say concerning Mr. Grimes' daughters which will be interesting to their young friends hore: "Miss Lola Grimes drove Riley, pacer, to a road cart, a mi in 2:19.^ over a mile track. Also drove tho bay trotting mare, Wanetah, a mile over a half mile track in 2:29',. Miss Wanetah Grimes, aged 14, drove Arch White, pacer, to an 80-pound road cart a full milo in 2:18.',. beating the previous record of that horse 11 seconds, given to him by Mr. Grimes. The Grimes giils therefore* hold tho records for lady drivers or both trotters and pacers. Tho record of the Grimes family is truly a remarkable one and furishes new evidence that will tell.

Wants to [Keep His Ears.
John Kolley was before Judgo Chuinas'ero Monday and swore out a warrant against Peter Fisher for suretv of the peace. It seems that Mr. Fisher'has insinuated that Mr. Kelley's oars are trinkets he wished to possess. Mr. Kelley doesn't desire to part with them, as without them he could not hoar the calls for drinks at his bar. Accordingly he has eworn out the wnrrant.
Fin Shr opshire Sheep.
J. N. Davidson has just received two yearling registered Shropshire ewes from S. H. Todd fc Sons, of Wakeman, Ohio, who are celebrated importers and breeders of this famous breed, and whose herds have already won $20,000 in prizes at the different State and county fairs. With this acquisition from this noted strain to his already fine flock Mr. Davidson no doubt will be in the front as a breeder of Shropshires. ».
