NO CITY TICKET.

A Strong I'robubility Tliat tin* PiMUocriits Will Not Nomiiiatr a CilyTicUot Tills Spring.

Tiik Jo

a approached a promi­

nent Democrat last evening and asked him what the unterrified would (lo regarding the nomination of a city ticket this spring. "Well." he replied. "1 guess we will do nothing. Everybody "knows the real election occurs at. [tke Republican primary. The Republican ticket is bound to be elected and most Democrats are getting tired of walking through a slaughter house to an open grave. The only thing in it was a possibility of a fellow's gaining prestige by running ahead of his ticket. here the whole ticket is bound to be beaten by several hundred majority. However, there's mighty little in prestige. I have talked to most of the party leaders and most of them are agreed to let the .thing go by default. None of them are enthusiastic and none that favor running a ticket are willing to sacrifice themselves as victims to a righteous cause. 1 reckon we. shall let the thing slide. We may nominate councilmen but 1 don't know. There will be two to elect in the second ward, which is the closest politically as I understand that Aus Toinlinson will resign and stay in California. There is a bare nossibility of our getting a man through there, but it's a mighty bare one."

Over the Long Distance Wire. Wednesday several young ladies called at the office of the telephone agent and for amusement had the agent call up the operator at Cincinnati. They found liim fluent in conversation, very witty and the agent here informed them that the gentleman to whom they were talking was quite skilled in the use of the French harp. Of course they at once desired to have the fact demonstrated to them. Their request was granted on the condition that they would sfng him ft song. "After the Ball," was sung and was highly complimented. "Annie Rooney" was returned to them from the harp and was greatly praised by those who could hear. So the time flew by between the parties at the two offices in pleasing chat and laughter, songs and instrumental music. The young ladies all at the same time wanted to both talk and listen. No great amount of skirmishing- occurred however, when the agent, seeing what might happen, informed the young ladies that their charming conversationalist and musician was the handsome and jolly Con Brady just across the street at the natural gas office and might be pleased to meet them face to face since he had been one of their number during the forepart of the evening. Con together with Billy Murphy and the other crowned heads of the natural gas dispensary, had been impersonating Cincinnati folks the entire evening. Mr. Brady had turned the water faucet at full pressure into a tin pan to represent the roaring of the Ohio river, which the young ladies all heard and enjoyed. Z.

There To Kick.

The convention of county office holders at Indianapolis Wednesday commanded a rather slim attendance, but was full of interest. One of the speakers denouncing the injustice of the law said: "I could name any number of instances wherein the law works an injustice to the officers of the several counties. Take, for instance, the Clerk of Montgomery county, where there is as much litigation as there is in Parke. Putnam and Vermillion put together. He gets the same salary and has to pay three or four men besides. I know that one week not long ago he received for his services but 313.50."

Kd Brown's Case,

The case of Ed Brown Is now in the hands of the jury. The evidence closed Wednesday. Brown went on the stand in his own defense, and faithfully adhered to the plausible story he told with such effect at the two former trials. Thursday the arguments began, Moffett speaking for the State and Johnston & Sellar for the defense. In the afternoon Moffett closed for the State and the jury retired. There is much speculation as to the probability of a verdict being returned but public sentiment is clearly and unmistakably with Brown.

A REVIVALIST COJIIXG.

Ileury Ostium, of !M ilwiiiilmo, and llnrr.v Maxwell, (lie Siiitfcr, Will lie llorn ill .Miii'ili or April.

Dr. 11. A. Tucker, of the Methodist church, lias made arrangements with Rev. Henry Ostrom. of Milwaukee, an evangelist of wide reputation, and Harry Maxwell, the singer, to come to Crawfordsville and conduct a series of meetings some time in March or April. Speaking of Mr. Ostrom and his work the Lafayette correspondent of the Western Christian Ailvorttte says: "One of the most successful revivals ever known here has just been closed. It was conducted by Rev. Henry Ostrom, of Milwaukee, and Mr. Harry Maxwell, at the Ninth street church. Preparations had been made by a systematic canvass of the people from house to house, and the faith of the people was strong for a great revival. From the first night to the close there were conversions. On the second night, seven-ty-five expressed a desire to lead the Christian life, and in every meeting people came to Christ. The work was dee]) and abiding. The preaching of

Brother Ostrom was nightly. His sermon on "Redemption" carried us hack in mind to the days of our fathers, when such themes swayed the multitudes. Everybody felt 'truly this is a man of God.' Many of the meetings were marvelous. Strong men wept, and many were converted. Mr. Maxwell's singing is wonderful, and carried conviction to all. These two are to do a great work in the field they have just chosen."

HIS PENSION NOT RESTORED.

Simpson Montgomery, of Undcn, Is Still Under the Ban of Hoke Smith and Cirover Cleveland.

Simpson Montgomery, of Linden, was in the city Thursday, called as a witness in the famous Tyers-Viee suit. Mr. Montgomery, it will be remembered, fell a victim to the lloke Smith pension policy and had the little stipend he received from the government cut off. He served three years in the Seventy-second regiment and was placod on the pension rolls in an honorable and legitimate way. His pension was increased from time to time from 88 to $18. lie is now 78 years old and totally incapacitated for manual or any other kind of labor, being a sufferer from a complication of paralysis and odemia. His name has not yet been restored to the pension rolls and has about given up all hopes that it will be during the term of the present pension hating administration.

l'enitentiary Birds.

On Thursday George McCaw and Allie alias "Reddy" Case, of Ladoga, appeared before Jitdge Harney to receive sentence on a plea of guilty to the charge of burglary. These young men, or rather boys, burglarized a number of stores in Ladoga recently and were arrested when the crimes were fastened upon them by red hot evidence. The Judge in consideration of their tender years Jet them off with a year and a half each in the northern prison. Their fate should stand as a warning to the juvenile bad eggs of Ladoga. There are plenty of them there to take it if they only will.

The Bonds to Be Issued.

On Wednesday the county commissioners issued 820,000 in county bonds and turned them over to the Treasurer to sell. There are four of these bonds of the denomination of $5,000 each. They arc for two years to bear interest at (i per cent. The Treasurer can probably sell them at a premium. They are issued to raise money to pay county debts and provide for current expenses.

May Leave Here.

The college correspondence of the Indianapolis NewH contains the following: "It is rumored that Prof. James II. Osborn has been offered a position at the head of the public schools in one of the leading cities of the State and has the acceptance of the place under consideration. Professor Osborn is one of the most popular members of the faculty, and his departure would cause regret."

Should Be Stopped.

To the Editor of The Journal: In going home from town last Monday night about 9 o'clock, two patrons of the city schools saw four young men playing cards in the basement of the central building, under the northeast room, or office, with an old lantern for a light. This should be stopped.
