A SAD ACCIDENT.

The l\ii» I Yea r-Ohl Son Nathaniel Moore, ut Waynetown, Is Rilled llv a 1'aUint Trtic.

A very sad accident occurred Monday afternoon at the farm of Nathaniel Moore, a uule southwest of Waynetown. Mr. Moore, accompanied by his eipht-year old son, went out into the woods to fell a tree. Mr. Moore worked with a saw and finally, having sawed a great part of the way through the trunk, began to drive a glut into the opening to relieve the saw. One glut did not suilice so the little boy picked up another at some distance away and started to bring it to his father. As he caine up the tree began to sway and fell without warning in a direction different from that in which it was expected to fall. The agonized father saw his child right in the path of the falling tree and frenziedly called to him to run. The lad did not sueci ad in escaping and was crushed to the ground by the limbs of the falling tree. He was horribly mangled, his head being fairly buried in the 6oft earth. The earth being so soft prevented his immediate death and he lingered several hours before the end came.

Mr. Moore's family has been peculiarly unlucky. One of his bisters had a child burned to death not long ago and another sister had a child to choke to death on a piece of beefsteak.

In the transfer of prisoners from the Michigan City prison to Jeffersonville five Montgomery county men were included, they being under thirty years of age. Of course, none of our people were taken from Jeffersonville north as under the old law all prisoners sentenced from here were taken north. Hereafter they will be taken north or south according to their ages aud the nature of their crimes. Those Montgomery county convicts Monday transferred were as follows:

William Dowilen, Montgomery county: offense, forgery sentence, two years: term expires June .'11, lS'JH.

Charles Graves, Montgomery county: offense assault and battery and larceny sentence three years term ex» pires .1 uly 2!i, lS'.lS.

James W. Russell offense, burglary: sentence, three years term expires March 17, IS'JO.

Russell was one of the tramp burglars who went through Capt. Billingsly'e house.

A Pertinent Question.

The following from the Dl•u^|{|ists, Chcmiml Gazette concerns Prof. S. A. Stilwell, formerly principal of the New Market schools: "Some days ago, says the Waynesville, 0., Gazette, Prof. Stilwell was giving a class a lesEon in the primary principles of chemistry, ana took occasion to say that by the affinities existing between certain elements, chemists could produce eggs that, were in their elements and qualities like hen eggs. Little Harry Dodson listened attentively, and as soon as his instructor ceased speaking, eagerly asked, Will they hatch?'1

"The Prince of India," "A Pair Clod" and other books of high order, was in the city for a short time this afternoon en route to his home in Crawfordsviile from a hunting expedition in the Kankakee marshes. (Jen. Wallace said he had had good luck witn birds, but got few fish.

He and his party were on a house boat for eighteen days during which time they did not once set foot on dry laud. General Wallace said he enjoyed his outing immensely.

John \V. (SreeiTs Will."

John W. Grcei/s will was probated Monday. It bequeathed to his sister, Mrs. Charles Ross, tho sum of $500, and devises to his nephew, John Green, a quarter section of land in Iroquois county. III. The rents and profits of this land shall go to the decedent's father ar mother until John Green is twentv-one years of age. Should the boy die before that "time the real estate shall be divided between his father. Robert Green, and Mrs. Charles Ross.

A Much NeeleI Train.

The Monon people have under consideration putting on a train between Lafayette and Klooinington to connect with the Indiana, Decatur & Western morning train from Decatur in Indianapolis. and to connect with tho afternoon train from Indianapolis for these points. It is said it would be a great convenience for a number of towLs along the Monon.

Tlie Acts iire Here.

Clerk Sparks received Tuesday from Indianapolis the books containing the acts of the last Legislature. As soon as the recipts of all the clerks in the State are acknowledged the Governor will issue his proclamation:

The. hearing of the case begun Monday morning and closed Tuesday noon. Judge Kennedy announcing his decision as soon as the last witness left the stand.

The evidence did not place Riley D. in a very amiable light before the public. It was the evidence of his wife that ho was a drunken, improvident, trilling plug, and her evidence was corroborated by that of others. It was Smailev's endeavor through his evidence to smirch the name of his child's mother, but ho was not overly successful even in this disgusting work. A review of the testimony is not worth the while and the whole matter can be summed in the statement that the court's ruling was eminently in accord with public sentiment and a just law.

We take pleasure in calling special attention to 1). II. Baldwin it Co.'s fine advertisement in this issue. This firm is one of the strongest and best known in the piano and organ business in the United States. They have adopted this plan of conducting "special" sales in order to bring tho product of their own factories more prominently before the public and will give purchasers the beneiit of manufacturers' prices. Everybody is given a cordial invitation to call and see the elegant display. Prices lower than was ever heard of before in this locality on first class pianos and organs. Tho members of this firm own and control the "Baldwin," "Ellington" and "Valley Gem" piano factories, located at Cincinnati, and the Hamilton organ factory, located in Chicago.

Their store room in Crawfordsviile being too small to show the immense stock sent for a special sale they have rented the Y. M. C. A. Auditorium for one week only, commencing Monday, April ]9. They will keep open of evenings for the benefit of those who cannot call during the day. Several first class salesmen will be on hand, always courteous and ready to give callers every attention. Call on them whether you are ready to purchase or not. It will pay you to do so.

A Cciiiii-. In .Jail.

Charles Victor Neilson, tho mechanical genius employed at the works of the Wire Fence Company, was jailed last Monday for intoxication and was put on the stone pile oil Tuesday. Neilson is a big, good natured Swede, who worst faults are drinking and improvidence. He is a wonderful mechanical genius and on his person were found knives, shoe buttoners and other trinkets all fabliiotied from large wire nails. He at one time received •517 a day for special work in an Illinois factory. He saved no money, how­|tory." ever, and when the mill shut down he drifted to Crawfordsviile.

On Wednesday the City Council and the City School Hoard met to select tho location of a new school house. The couneilmeti were all present except Mr. Mutton, aud all tho members of the School Hoard were on hand. The ground was looked over and a vote was taken on the location. The vote stood livo for the Willson lot. two for.'K8 the Busenbark lot on Wabash avenue, and one for the Busenbark property on Main -b tree I. The new building.-'.^ will therefore be located on the Willson lot. Just when the building will be erected is not known.

Those objecting to the liusenbaric..-^ property stated that the hoirs were too badly scattered over the country to be looked up. Thero are nineteen of the heirs and the objectors expressed the fear that a clear title could not be obtained in time to begin tho work. Whatever else may be said regarding the location selected it may be said that there are many people opposed to the choice made.

THE G. A. R. ENCAMPMENT.

The approaching national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, which will be held at Buffalo, N. Y., in August, a month earlier than usual, will probably be the largest ever held in the history of tho order, except that held at Washington in 18!)2. Tho arrangements are now well under way. Free quarters have been assigned to 18,000 veterans and quarters engaged for over 3,000 more at hotels.

The camp has been established in Buffalo's most attractive park, at the foot of Lake Erie and at the source of Niagara river, on a ri6e of ground fifty feet above the water. It will have all tho features of a regular army camp, oven to a sutler's tent, and will bo properly guarded night and day. The ground Is tile drained aud heavily sodded. The tencs will be large "A" tents, lloored with matched boards. All military maneuvering incidental to a camp will be done by the Thirteenth United States Infantry, stationed at Ft- Porter, which adjoins the camp ground, and is within ton minutes' ride of the center of the city by steam and electric cars.

The distinguishing feature of the week will bo the electrical display each evening in all parts of the city, as well as public concerts in the parks and excursions to Lake Chautauqua, tho Thousand Islands and Niagara Falls.

Buffalo has the reputation of being the best paved city in the United •States, having 200 miles of asphalt streets and fifteen miles of park roads and connecting boulevards, making one of the most delightful drives to be found in the world. A one cent per mile fare has been obtained for all Western points. The tickets are good for thirty days. Comrade McKinley aud most of his Cabinet will be pres-^' ent. The grand parade will occur on Wednesday, the 25th day of August.

Tliu Normal is

Crowded,

The enrollment a». the State Normal has reached 1.300 The enpae.ity of the school is only 1,000, and the conditions at present are very much crowded. In speaking about tho recent reports of thefts at the school, President Parsons said:

Well, when you get 1,300 people of heterogenous classes together, it is inI deed a hard matter to get them all I perfectly straight, unless one has his pick and that from a very large terri-

President Parsons further said

that there had been but one case, that of a young woman, accused of tho theft of a purse, that has been reported to him and a speedy investigation will follow.

The Motion's New Move.

It is announced that the Monon road about to enter into more active comthan it has at any time hereI toforo for a large share of tho freight business between Chicago and the

Ohio river. During the receivership and bince its termination tho road has been undergoing improvements in its track and roadbed which will enable it to run fast trains with no risk, aud when all of its arrangments are completed it will probably go after the business with great energy. It is said that it will handle freight between Chicago and Cincinnati in

le6S

time by

twenty-four hours than it has ever been handled up to the present time. Wants to lie .Justice.

James Keller has filed a petition before the county commissioners to be appointed Justice of the peace in Sugar Creek township vice Richard Harper, resigned.
