NEW ROSS, NOV. '29.—Last night as Jacob Kinsley, a Big Four brakeman, was coupling cars at Mace on the local freight he w.'is caught between the bumpers and crushed in a most horrible manner. He was hastily brought to New Ross and medical aid summoned. Ho was unconscious until after his wounds were dressed when he revived for a short time, only to lapse again into a state of unconscioueness. Several of the fingers on his right hand were mashed off and his kidneys were terribly crushed rendering hie recovery impossible. He was taken to his home in Indianapolis on the night train. It was his first trip over the road and how he happened to meet with the accident is a mystery.

Davis and Isaac Davis, sr., and members of the family to the number of fifty were present. Mrs. Davis is 98 years old and had the pleasure of having with her several groat-grand-children.
The Froclaimer Has dome. The new bell for Center church has arrived and its size will make it useful as an umbrella for the 'own in real rainy weather when everybody's cisterns are full and we don't need any more cloud juice. It is certainly a "smashing big proclaimer" as a high school senior said and can easily be heard as far as Yountsville on the west, Linden on the north, New Ross on the east and Tinkersville on the south.
Limbs Broken.
Last Sunday Mrs. W^arner, an elderly widow, residing on south Washington street, stepped out in the yard to feed her chickens. She slipped on the ice and fell fracturing her arm near the elbow. Dr. Ensminger gave medical assistance.

Who Will Fill the Long Felt Want? The expected has happened and the Daily Star has ceased to enlighten the world. It was struck by a flying fragment of the comet and knocked from the even tenor of its way —which was second tenor always. Its mission has been accomplished and Grover Cleveland is president-elect. It has quit filling "the long felt want" and the vacuum, which nature abhors, is howling for another occupant. Let'er howl. The Star will continue its weekly publication as a Democratic newspaper.

During the war Isaac was elected Auditor of Montgomery county iind served two terms of four years each.

Since 1875 he has served most tho time as deputy in the clerk's and auditor's office?. He was a skillful and tidy bookkeeper and he has undoubtedly written out more of the ollicial records of the county than any other two men. For over forty years he was a familiar figure at the court house and has been almost a part of the official life of the county. Mr. Vance was married twice and his second wife and six children survive him. He was a strikingly handsome man and his genial disposition made him many friends. He suffered reverses during his life, being at one time a very wealthy man, but during his whole public career his honesty was never once impeached or questioned. He was honest and competent and dies mourned by a host of friends.
The Farmers' Institute.
An interesting meeting of the Farmers' Institute was in session Nov. 25 at the court house. About thirty of the most intelligent farmers in the county are present and a lively interest is manifested in the discussion of fall and winter feeding of live stock, the importance of pasture on the farm, and highways and their improvement. The forenoon was taken up in discussing the live stock question led by J. B. Lutz, of Tippecanoe county. The first business that afternoon was the selection of two boys to attend the special winter course in Live Stock Husbandry at Purdue University. The boys selected are Samuel B. Kesler, of Scott township, and Jesse D. Armentrout, of Union township. These boys appointed by the institute will be exempt from tuition and other charges required.

Austin, a Baptist clergyman. moved to Montgomery county, Indiana, in 1828 and settled aboul two miles west of Crawfordsville on a farm. Ill health obliged him to pursue lighter labor, however, and in 1S41 he was elected as the first auditor of Montgomery county on the Democratic ticket. He left this party later on on the temperance issue and united with the Republican party, of which Samuel was always a member after the dissolution of tho Whig party.

He remained there until 185-1 when he became kookkeeper for Campbell, Galev Ilarter, which position he held for 12 years. On January 1, 18(!8, lie became the bookkeeper of the First National Bank and held the position until declining health obliged him to resign. Mr.
Austin wiis educated in the common schools and academies of Montgomery county iind was known during his life aB one of tho most exact and scrupulous of business men, never makiug a mistake and treating all with an honesty unquestionable. For nearly half a century lie was known as a most skillful
Peaking accountant and his rep-
utation as a correct business man was more than local. Mr. Austin was married three times, his last wife being Matilda Swearingen, who survives him Five children also live to mourn his loss Archelaus, Albert, Henry, Frank and Mrs. Minnie McKnight. Mr. Austin was a member of the Odd Fellows fraternity and of the Methodist church Mr. Austin was one of the most honored and respected citizens of this county widely known and loved by all. His genial manner and his kindly hand made him an honored member of society and his strict integrity gave him an envia ble standiug in business circles. He dies lamented by till who knew him and will long be remembered for the good he htis done.
He Read the Summons.
Our old friend "Elder" Jacobs id rap idiy coming to the front in the profes siou of law, and hardly a day passes but that he files a case in the circuit court. He is of an economical turn, however, and often to save his clients costs he will execute a summons himself. The other day armed with a summons he started after Uncle James Paire and found the old gentleman in a dtable. Now Mr. Paire believed that if he could escape hearing the reading of any part of that summons that he could not be held to answer by the court for nonappearance. Accordingly when the reading begun he turned to ilee but was quickly seized and thrown by the brawny attorney who, placing his knee on the chest of the would be escape, proceeded to read the summons in a loud voice. Mrs. Paire came rushing in and being advised by her husband stood in the door to screen the light of the fast declining day and so prevent the awful re.'iding. But tho erstwhile preacher was equal to the occasion and grabbing lier he held both Mr. and Mrs. Paire until his ollicial duty had been accomplished. Then he went his way with the satisfaction born of a work well done.

A GEEAT JOB.
Peddler of Examination Questions for Teachers Neatly Trpppod. fYbout a week ago a dealer in school supplies requested Supt. Zuck to give him the names of a number of teachers who had failed to get licenses at tho regular examinations. Mr. Zuck gave him about a dozen names including the name of a reliable lady teacher already holding license. Nov. 25 that lady appeared at his office and presented a letter reading thus :-wr.-.s
M.VDAMK-—If you desire to try for a license Saturday next, please call on mo at Sherman house, Friday, Nov. 25th, and investigate my plan. Sure success.
Yours truly,
Strictly confidential. Ei BLANK. Mr. Zuck requested her to make tho call and report its result. She soon returned and stated that INIr. Blank had offered to sell her the questions and answers of the examination to be held today for $10. She was supplied with the cash and returning to tho Sherman house copied the questions which Blank declared he had gotten from a stand in he had with the State board. It was ascertained upon tho lady's return to Supt. Zuck that tho list of questions was an old one but developments were awaited and nothing said. Saturday several of the old failures were up for examination and when the trtio list was presented they "dropped dead" and withdrew in confusion leaving only two, who had not been initiated to undergo tho ordeal. When the peddler arrived he was nailed by Mr. Zuck, who at once informed him of his knowledge of the affair. Mr. Blank at once broko down and acknowled the corn. He declared ho had purchased the list in good faith from a superintendent in adjoining county for $50 find had been driven to the sale by poverty. Ho had lost his whole fortune, $2,700 in selling school supplies ,and offered Mr. Zuck a chart worth $•" to let him off. Upon hearing his pitiful tale Mr. Zuck decided not to prosecute but forced him to return the money he had taken from teachers for the questions. The sensation was so hushed up. The peddler is well connected and was recently married. lie protests that this was his first offense and that it will bo his last.
A VILLAIN FOILED.
Miss Grace Works a School Teacher Assailed by a Ruffian in Ripley Township. Miss Grace Works is the daughter of James Work, who now resides in Crawfordsville, although until recently ho was employed at Snyder's mills, in Yountsville. Miss Grace teaches at district No. 7 in Ripley and boards with John Brown, nearly a mile north. On Tuesday evening she was late and it was nearly dark before she left the school. As she hurried through a strip of wood she was startled by a man suddenly stepping out in front of her. His pants, coat and cap had all been turned inside out and his face was masked by the lining ho had torn from his coat. Miss Grace thought it was Henry Boll who had been chopping wood there that day. Thinking he was trying to frighten her she called him Mr. Bell. He shook his head to deny that identity and made an insulting domand. Upon her refusal he drew a revolver and soizing her by the throat attempted to force her to his will. A desperate struggle ensued and the girl finally broke away and fled like the wind followed to the* edge of tho woods by the infuriated ruOian. He stopped then but called after her that if she revealed the attack ho would kill her. Miss Works arrived at the Brown place crying and terribly excited. No attempt was made to capture the villain who escaped easily. Miss Works is to be congratulated upon her plucky defense of her honor.
Tore Down the Fiag Again. Clark township, District No.9, is again excited over an insult offered to the American Hag. This is the school where Emma Conner taught last year and where the flag was torn down. It was was claimed then that the deed was done not as an insult to tho flag but to Emma Conner. This year Jeff Wheelen, a big Kentucky Democrat, was given tho school iind ii, was thought under the charge of this double fisted gad-wielder the Hag would be safe from insult. But it seems not. On the Sunday night following tho election the flag staff was chopped down by unknown vandals and the Hag destroyed. All the Republicans, and the Deans and other respectable Democrats of the district are highly indignant and are endeavoring to ferrot out the perpetrators of the outrage. I.'hey should be hunted down and given the roughest usage there can be awarded such curs under tho law.
Dr. Haines at tfie Game.
ATter leaving tho street car for the grounds, Dr. M. 11. Haines was seen in the crowd. It was then a few minutes past time for calling tho game, and tho shouts from the pavilion told that the game had already begun'. Dr. Haines walked a little faster. Two newspaper sprints were at his heels and tried to keep up with him. Another shout from

As to Oliver.
I tlu* I'M to I* 11 .Jnurniil. DAKMN«TON,NOV. 21.—Knowing your desire at all times is fairness to all and knowing that you have been imposed upon by your informant as to the character of one Oliver Hamilton, I wish to correct you by saying that the said Oliver is well and favorably known hero as a quiet, inoffensive boy. Ho is known to take his own part but is far from being tho aggressor you pictured him to' be. As to his racket at Bowers many good citizens say that he was perfectly justifiable in all he did as all was in self defense. As lie is a son of a veteran the same spirit that desecrates soldiers' tombstones caused him to use his knife, and plenty of good men are ready to stand by Oliver in this case. If they I will tackle him one at a time I will guaranteo that ho will bo the last one to use his knif.\ but four at a time are too many. O.SE WHO KNOWS.
