Reunion at New Market.

Last Sunday morning the friends of Mr. and Mrs. Simeon Vancleave began to gather at an early hour, Simeon and wife having been induced to go to Dr. Beatty's to spend the day. They were scarcely gone when the crowd began to assemble at their house and a long table was quickly spread in the yard under nice shade trees and loaded with the good things of the country. Mr. IIinkle then went after Mr. and Mrs. Vancleave. telling them they had company. They came home and to say they were surprised would be putting it mildly. Especially was Simeon surprised. Dinner being called the table was filled three times, there being seventy-five persons present, some from Crawfordsville, Ladoga, New Ross, Linnsburg and Parke county. At a late hour the friends separated, hoping for many happy returns, and all voting it a red letter day.

BOTH LEGS CRUSHED.

Tlie Fate of Harry Hernley at Champaign— Particulars Meager, But He Cannot Survive the Shock.

A. II. Hernley received a telegram this morning from Champaign, 111., telling him that his son, Harry, had been hurt by the cars. Both of his legs were mangled below the knees and one of them almost literally torn off. It was thought that the other would have to be amputated also. Mr. Hernley took the morning train for the west, arriving there about noon. Before that time,however,the family received more telegrams saying that Harry was worse and could not live more than a few hours Particulars of the accident could not be learned but it is supposed that it happened wkile the young man was on duty in the Big Four freight yard, where lie was regularly employed to do night work as brakeman. He has been a brakeman on the Big Four freight trains for two years past and just recently was transferred to the yards at Champaign. Previous to his railroad experience he was employed as a worker in wood at tlie Dovetail factory here and in a planing mill at Indianapolis. lie is twenty-two years old and has always been quiet, industrious and steady. His misfortune is a shock to the entire community where he was raised.

Latki:: Harry Hernley died Monday at 3 o'clock p. m. at Champaign, 111., of his injuries. The body of the unfortunate young man, accompanied by his father, arrived Monday night at midnight.

Mr. Hernley was injured while coupling cars in the yards at Champaign. It seems that he had cut a car loose and stepped back from the track. A pile of cinders had been carelessly dumped there and over this he fell, his legs going across the track to be cut off by cruel wheels. He was taken quickly to the hospital and was conscious when his father reached his side yesterday forenoon. Harry Hernley's death is a peculiarly sad one, he being a young man of much character and promise and liked by all with whom he came in contact.

Kelly Nuptials.

Tuesdayat the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Fisher in the pretty suburb of Highland, just south of the city occurred the marriage of their youngest daughter, Belle, to Elmer G. Horton. At an early hour the guests began arriving, for before the ceremony there was a reception for Mr. Fisher's youngest son, James A. Fisher, who had been married at Danville, 111., yesterday morning to Miss Olive Curtis. Those in the receiving line were Mr. and William Fisher, Miss llattie McEwen, Mr. and Mrs. James A. Fisher of Frankfort, Mr. and Mrs. Mont Fisher of Frankfort, and Dr. and Mrs. Bergan of Frankfort. At a quarter of nine Miss Maud Cohoon began the familiar strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march and a moment later the bridal party appeared in the following order, Rev. G. P. Fuson, Miss Lulu Canine, of W'avelaud, with Mr. Earl Horton, of Chicago, and then the bride and groom. The latter took their position in the double doors under a bower of smilax and took the solemn vows in the presence of as many of their friends as could assemble in the rooms. The ceremony was very simple and short and closed with a prayer. At its close the bridal party with the relatives partook of the wedding feast -in the dining room while the remainder of the guests were served where they sat. The rooms were decorated with smilax and a profusion of cut flowers and in the dining room there were potted palms and plants of various kinds. The bride wore a gown of white crystal silk trimmed in lace and carried bride's roses. At the conclusion of the refreshments the newly wedded couple received congratulations and after an hour of social enjoyment the guests departed. There were many handsome presents showing the esteem of friends at home and abroad. The marriage of these two young people is a consummation warmly approved by their numerous friends. The bride is a young lady of beautiful disposition and prominent in social and church circles while the groom has a wide influence for good as physical director of the Y. M. C. A. and professor of athletics in AVabash College.

Kelley, on Bluff street, after which they will go to house keeping at once on west Market street. Both are excellent young people and enjoy the esteem and respect of a large circle of friends in the city.

Bound For New Mexfoti.

Jesse Cumberland starts to Deming, New Mexico, from Chicago the 11th inst., over the Rock Island rail road. Round trip only 847.40. The Membres valley offers the richest land between the seas for gardens, farm and fruit raising at prices which every year's crop will pay and frequently several times over. In a country where the farmer can work 350 days beneath a clear and beautiful sky—in a country where a hungry market knocks at the door of every toiler with prices always satisfactory. In a country of excellent society, best of school advantages, the greatest railroad center in the southwest, with a town destined to become a great city, surrounded by great mines, great forests, and the greatest of stock ranches of tlie globe, with a climate rich, soft, balmy and invigorating unexcelled between the orient or the Occident, between the poles or the seas, a climate which links the two extremes but knows neither, which holds winter in its hands, spring in its arms and summer in its lap.

PART SECOND

A PRECEDENT SET.

The Commissioners Will Honor No Attorneys' Bills Made on Justice's Orders.

Tuesday in the County Commissioners' court came up a case, which was of very grave importance as a precedent. W'ilber G. llouk, the barrister, submitted a bill for 875 for defending certain -John W. Harshman in the temple of justice appertaining to Squire Jones of Linden. It appears that Signor Harshman was yanked up before the law on the heinous charge of provoke, with a sequel of assault and battery. The trembling prisoner pleaded poverty and 'Squire Jones very considerately appointed barrister llouk to superintend the cleansing of his character in the judicial laundry. Mr. llouk did so and then submitted the bill in question. It was considered by the board and rejected entirely. Mr. llouk states that he will appeal.

Said one of the board Wednesday: 'The case has no parallel and we could not afford to set such a ridiculous precedent. If 'squires over the county can appoint lawyers to defend every offender brought before them the county would have to pay thousands of dollars in such monkey bills everj' year. The commissioners could be shamefully imposed upon and there's really no telling where the thing would end. The bill was illegal and unprecedented. The statutes state that the Auditor shall pay no attention to orders from justices and that settles the thing so far as we are concerned. Houk will not succeed in his appeal, I am satisfied. Even if he should, however, the commissioners have a stuffed club left which will be used effectually. The statutes leave the number of justices in the county discretionary with the Board of Commissioners. You can depend upon it that if the 'squires are to be vested with attorney appointing power that there will be mighty few left to be vested.

Death of Catherine Largent. Catherine Largent, daughter of Jonathan and Elizabeth Largent, was born in Virginia, July 28, 1827. She was united in marriage to Bazzel Sibole, Oct. 20, 1852. This union was blessed with three children, one son and two daughters, one of the daughters dying in infancy. The deceased had been a sufferer from lung trouble for twentyfive years, but had been confined to her bed but six weeks. She united with the Friends church two years ago under the labors of Elder James Newlin, although being deprived of church privileges because of ill health, yet her faith in God was unshaken. She was an affectionate wife, a kind mother and an excellent neighbor. How blessed are those that die in the Lord, yea, sayeth the spirit, for their works do follow them. Shodeparted this life Sept. 3, 181(4, aged 07 years one month and five days. She leaves a husband and two children and many friends to mourn her departure. The funeral occurred Tuesday, the services being conducted by Rev. F. P. Trotter, after which the earthly remains were laid to rest in the Friends cemetery.
