He was yesterday able to turn himself over in bed without apsistance. The K. P.'s and the I. O. R. M. are taking kindly care of him. He has careful watchers .day and night.—Lafayette Call. —Patrick J. Vaughan, chief deputy in the Lafayetle postoiHce under Postmaster Rnger, but since that the trusted bookkeeper at Loeb & Hirsh's, has resigned his position. He goes to Crawfordsville to take charge of the Tengen .V Thietne branch bottling works and act as agent of the Thieme-Wagner

Brewing Company. It is a more lucrative position than he has yet held and will pay him well. He will shortly remove his family to Crawfordsville.

Wants to Hurry Matters.

A Washington correspondent to the Indianapolis JSeivs says: "Hon. John E. Lamb, of Terre Haute, arrived this morning. He is reported to be here to hasten the appointment of Joshua Jump, his law partner, as internal revenue collector."

From this statement it would appear that Lamb & Co. think they have the colioctorship for a certainty and are merely Ix-ing delayed a little. They have been conducting a still but vigorous catujmign lately and Mr. Hulett's friends are getting scared somewhat. This is the time for Vory Brookshire to hustle, not only for Hulett but for Brookshire's future as well.

General Manson to Withdraw. The Indianapolis Journal says it is now practicully assured that General Manson will withdraw as a member of the Monument Commission. His resignation will soon be tendered to the Governor. He is now very feeble, and was accompanied Tuesday to the station by Secretary Gilliland.

Divorce Granted-

The divorce snit of Carrie Brown against Peter M. Brown was tried in the circuit court Wednesday and the plaintiff granted the decree. The defendant failed to materialize.

Uew Postmasters.

THE JOUBNAL Co.

DI70B0E DAY.

Owing to the Inclement Weather the Rush Is Hot so Great As Usutd. Wednesday was the day set apart by Judge Harney for the consummation of bliss for several worthy and estimable neople. It was the day set apart for the annihilation of Cupid's work and the breaking of irksome marital claims. Clerk Brown was in high feather and welcomed each sweet faced applicant for freedom with his sunniest smile and a genteel dun for the costs in the case.

The first case to come before the throne for judgement was that of Mrs Hattie Cory Miller against W. Harry Miller, the accomplished scene shifter of the Ben Hur Tableau Company. It was back in the 'SO's when Harry was urged 10 take on matrimonial harness which never did lit him. He accordingly failed to provide and his wife now asks a di vorce. She has forsworn men completely and husn't even looked at one since the rude Harry so basely deceived her.

James Brown is a venerable colored man with one hand forever tied up in a rug and the other forever "open as the clay to melting charity." His smiie resembles a foreclosed mortgage and the gentle pathos in his sad brown eye looks like a deed of trust. His life is a wreck for Sarah, his wife, proved him false and left several months ago for sweeter pastures. Previous to her departure she had transacted considerable business with divers saloons carrying at all times a tin pale known in polite society as a "growler" or "duck." Moreover she had been entirely too intimate with Jim Gill. The man* Jimmy Gill iB a very sad sort of fellow and when Mrs. Brown was seen chasing up an alley with him one fine evening in June she dropped from her social pedestal with a dull thud. She had to leave town and now her husband gets a divorce and the case and custody of that sweet little cherub, Jjimes Blaine Brown, who first saw the light of day during the campaign of '84 when the American eagle apparently had the rooster on the run-

The third applicant for matrimonial extinguishment was Lorena J. Surface. She was the wedded wife of Amos J. Surface when the sun rose this morning but ohe made hay while the shine lasted and relieved herself of the embarrassing entanglement. She declared that Amos was a bad man from Bitter Creefc, that he failed to provide and acted the shyster generally. Amos wasn't there to defend his great and good name, so, at the conclusion of the plaintiff's testimony Judge Harney smiled a sad sweet smile, and smash went another family altar.

THE S0IEN0E Of HORSE BREEDING.

L. W. Oochran & Uo. Have It Down About Right and Show Practical Results. We are proud of the fact that Montgomery county, Indiana, has such an excellent and such a wide spread reputation as the home of fine horses. This distinction is due to the intelligence and honest endeavors of our jhorse breeders who are not content with any but the best methods and the best horses. Among those who have helped to raise the quality of Montgomery county horseflesh to its present high standard none are more prominent than L. W. Cochran & Co. They spare neither pains nor money to own the very best stallions. Take for instance that fine English hackney, King of England, a horse that has been at the Detroit International Exhibition, the Indiana State

Fair, the Illinois State Fair, the St. Louis Exhibition, the American Horse Sbow at Chicago and in fact nearly all the big horse shows and has taken firdt prize in every single instance. He hiis never been beaten in his class in the show ring] He was brought 1o this country in 1891 and is a handsome chestnut four years old, fifteen and three-quarters hands high and weighs thirteen hundred pounds. Service can be had at Insley & Darnell's stable in this city.

Another beautiful English hackney owned by Cochran & Co. is Weber, an animal of fine pedigree imported in 1890. He stands sixteen hands high, weighs 1350 pounds and is dark bay in color. If you want to know what kind of a colt getter Weber is consult Wm. McClamrock, James Hutton, P. A. Croy, Cyrus Wray or anybody who owns a Weber colt. This stallion will be found at James Fleming's barn, three and a half miles north of this city at the connection of the Concord, Soap Factory and Concord Extension gravel roads on Monday and Wednesday mornings, at Cochran's barn Mondays and Tuesdays, and the rest of the time at Insley & Darnall's stable.

Along with Weber will be found Scarcliife Stamper, an Engliph shire, that has an unbroken record as a priza winner since imported into this country in 1890. He has given the greatest satisfaction here in Montgomery county and all who got colts from him in 1892 are sure to breed back in 1893. In 1891 he won firat at Detroit, gold medal at Peoria for the best shire owned in Illinois, first at St. Louis and reserve numberHPor gold medal at Chicago. In 1892 he was at Detroit and Toledo, second at Columbus and won grand sweepstakes at Indianapols.

Cochran's stallions are all prize winners. Here is another English hackney, Expectation, that took first at Detroit and St. Louis, second at Peoria and Chicago in 1891 and in 1892 first at Detroit and Toledo and second at Indianapolis and St. Louis. Expectation will be found at the Darlington Driving Park. He is five years old, fifteen and three-quarters hands high and weighs fourteen hundred pounds. He is a brown and his strong points are a neat head and strong legs.

Along with Expectation will be found a heavy bay stallion, William Henry, weighing 2,000 pounds. He is six years old, sixteen hands high and took first premium at the Crawfordsville fair in 1891.

All the stallions above mentioned will stand, $10 for the season or $15 to insure colt to siand and suck, except William Henry, whose terms are $10 ana $7.00

Farmers are learning that it does not pay to breed to any but the best blooded stallions and surely a finer array cannot be found anywhere than those offered the public by L. W. Cochran & Co.

Bob Osburn is missing and rumor has it that when he returns there will b*j a fair damsel swinging on his arm that ever hereafter will claim a half interest in the Hornet office. So mote it be.

We don't wish to comment further than what has already been said concerning what rot gut whisky, bad blood and old grudges brought about at Armory hall last Saturday night but simply wish to say that at present all is peace and that harmony prevails.

We would say to the Possum Bidge correspondent: If there be any more —'s in his locality (besides the 13 that received personal notice in his letter this week) that we think that they should surely be heard from in next week's communication. It would only be doing justice to the neglected ones.

STRICKEN DOWN.

Edwin Booth Thought to Be on His Death Bed.

ANOTHER STROKE OF PARALYSIS.

It Is Feared the Famous Actor May Not Recover from the Present Attack Which Is Similar to That Suffered

Several Years Al o.

1IK MAY DIR.

New

Yonic, April '20.—Edwin Booth,

the tragedian, is lying' at the Players' club, 10 (Jramerey park, suffering from paralysis. It is feared that this, the second paralytic stroke the, famous actor has been stricken with, will prove fatal. At 11 o'clock Wednesday morning Superintendent McUonigie, of the Players' club, not having heard from Mr. Booth, opened the door of his sleeping apartment at the club and found the tragedian lying in bed unconscious. Dr. St. Clair Smith and Dr. Hansom were immediately summoned, and they gave it as their opinion that lie had been seized with a paralytic stroke some time during the night. Drs. Smith and Ransom reir-n'^ed with their patient all day, and at midnight thought there were signs of consciousness. is condition was considered very critical, and the attending physicians said it was very doubtful if Mr. Booth would recover.

Rallied Only a Jjitt.le.

Mr. Booth remained in a lialf-un-conscious condition all day, rallying a little about 10 o'clock p.m. lie recognized one or two of his friends and his daughter, but the recognition was merely momentary. The faet of Mr. Booth's illness was kept exceedingly

quiet, and only his immediate friends and his doctors knew of it. At a late hour Wednesday ni^ht the actors, of whom there was a large number at the club house during the afternoon and evening, chatted, dined and played billiards.entirely unconscious of their president's condition.

Sinking Kapiilly.

At 3 o'clock this (Thursday) morning it was announced at the club house that Mr. Kooth was sinking and that while he might recover his condition is more precarious than at any time since his attack.

His First. Serious Attack.

The ffrst attack of this kind which Mr. Booth had was on April 3, 1SSS) lie was then playing "Othello"' with Lawrence Barrett in Rochester. He appeared weak as the performance went on, and finally another actor had to be put in his place to finish an act of the play. He had for the time lost the use of the vocal organs as in the present case. Mr. Barrett, fearing that the attack was of a much worse nature than it really proved, made an address to the audience, saying that Mr. Booth would probably not be able to act again. He recovered, however, in a few days.

Since Mr. Booth gave his last performance at the Acanderny of Music in Brooklyn on April 3, 1891, his health has been generally poor. He has spent most of his time at the Players' club. A few weeks ago lie appeared to be considerably better, so much so, indeed, that it was reported that he would return to the stage next season. He had been in the habit of leaving the club to dine with his daughter once or twice a week and he went to the theater a few times. The last time he was seen in public was on April 3, when he attended Alexander Salvini's performance at the Manhattan opera house. For the last few days he has not been so well.

Brief Sketch of Mr. Booth.

[Edwin Booth was born near Baltimore, Md., November 15, 1833. His father was Junius Brutus Booth and he was trained for the dramatic profession. Having filled minor parts, he made his tirst regular appearance on the as Tressel in "Richard III." in 1849, and in IKil played the part of Kicliard I1L in place of Ins father, who had been suddenly 1aken ill. After a lour through California, Australia and many of the Pacific islands he reappeared in New York in 1H57, visited England and the continent in 1801, and returning to New York began a series of Shakespearean revivals at the Winter Harden theater in 1WK. After a series of successful engagements in Boston, Philadelphia and other iarge cities he began, in 18(18. the erection of a new theater in Now York which was opened Febru vry 3, l^S), but the cest of the building, in which Mr. Booth had invested all his moans, prevented ultimate pecuniary success, and the theater, although it still bore his name, passed from his hands. For several years he virtually retired from the stage, but near the close of 1877 he began in New York a series of brilliant performances. He rarely undertook any except the leading characters of Shakespeare—Hamlet, Othello, Iago, Shylock and Richard III.—Hamlet being his most admired personation. In 1881 he went to England, where he remained two years, meeting with marked success especially in 'Othello," where he alternately took the parts of Othello and Iago with Mr. Irving.

In the early part of 1883 he played Shakespearean parts at Berlin and Hamburg with great applause. His most conspicuous engagement since then was that with Lawrence Barrett, extending through two or three years. When Mr. Booth last appeared he was supported by Mme. Modjeska.]
