GOVERNOR MOUNT.

Ho \T1U Not. Contest for Senutorliil Hon-ors-Speaks of l'rospectivo Legislation.

Indianapolis News: Governor Mount this afternoon settled the question of his candidacy for the United States senatorship. lie was askod to define his position. "I am not a candidate," 6aid the governor, "nor have I ever been a candidate for the position. I feel that I owe the people of the state a duty for placing1 me in my present high and responsible oflice, and that the fulfillment of that duty is the only concern that I have. Having- been elected to this position, it would not be showing1 a proper regard for the worthy men who are candidates, and following out the wishes of the people who elected me, if I should allow my name in any sense to be considered in the race. 1 never have made any effort toward the senatoiship, nor will I make any fight for it." "Suppose the caucus chooses you— will you accept?" "That is a question that is not likely to be presented. 1 do not like to imagine a condition of things and then 6ay what I would do if that condition should come about, unsought by myself. If the people should make a demand that I represent them in the senate, there would be nothing for me to do but to bow to the demand, and I feel that I would be in duty bound to accept. But such a state of affairs is not at all likely to occur with so many worthy men in the race, and I do not want to be considered even a senatorial possibility." "Is it your understanding that there is to be an apportionment of the state for congressional purposes?" "I have heard nothing of the kind, and I do not understand that there will be any. However, if the legislature does decide on an apportionment act, I am in favor of a fair iand honest one, and I think that is the feeling of the general assembly." •'Have you knowledge of any bills out of the ordinary to be introduced?" "A bill will be introduced for the introduction of the science of agriculture in our public schools in a mild and conservative form, one that will not require more text-books, bat will provide for an hour of oral instruction in a week. The proposition is to deal with the science in a primary form." "In your message to the legislature, governor, will you urgo the passage of a bill, to regulate primary elections." •I will, indeed," the governor B&id firmly. "I will recommend the passage of a law to govern primary elections that will prevent party bosses from dictating nominations and prohibit them from dominating in conventions. 1 feel that theipeople should have a chance in the primaries, and at the conventions, as well as the political bosses." ou will havo something to say concerning township and county reform' "That is a very important subject to the people of Indiana, and I will certainly pay some attention to it. I am decidedly in favor of a law thai will bring about reform in township and county affairs. It is something that is needed more at this time than anything that will come before the general assembly." "Will you touch on the lynchings and kindred violations of the law?" "I think I shaii ao more than touch on them. I shall recommend the passage of a law giving the relatives of persons lynched the right to recover damages from the county in which the lynching took place, thus holding the county responsible for unlawful acts of its citizens.

capping, I shall recommend that the victims of the outrages shall have recourse against the county in a civil suit for damages, and, being a civil suit, a change of venue can bo taken away from the county." "What about the re-organization of the national guard?" "1 do not know what 1 shall say on that subject yet. The Pennsylvania law is now pending before congresB, and 1 understand will be passed. Until congress does something, I aui not able to talk ou the subject. I aiu very much in favor of increasing the standing army, and the Pennsylvania law fits my ideas exactly. That provides that there shall be a reserve in the states and this reserve will boat the call of the national government without the formality of mustering in. The nation al government will be required to pay the expenses of the yearly encampments, and must have regular soldiers in the encampments. The law will give the national guard better discipline, and make real soldiers of its members." "In a general way, I shall insist on economy in the affars of the state, as well as in township and county affairs. My idea is, as Cleveland has said, that a public office is a public trust, and not a private snap, and I shall try to impress that on the members of the general assembly."

FOR THE DEFENDANTS.

The Stoner Grave Yard IHrectorx Relieved From the Insinuations of A1 Hurt.

On Tuesday the jurors in the damage case of Al Hurt, of LadogB, against the directors of the Stoner grave yard came into court with a sealed verdict which they found Monday night Th? verdict being opened showed thai they had found for the defendants but had failed to answer several of the interrogatories. The court after deliberation decided that all the interrogatories must be answered and accordingly sent the jury back to reach some conclusion regarding these questions. The jury was again out quite a while but finally returned with all the interrogatories answered in due form. They were then discharged. It is not known yet whether the plaintiff will appeal. The case was one long drawn out and bitterly contested.

Gen. Wallace's 1'o.sltioii.

Gen. Lew Wallace, in answer to a letter of inquiry from one of his old comrades, in reference to his candidacy for United States senator, says in a letter written from Crawfordsville: "ihaaita for your note of inquiry. In answur, I b^g leavy. to ttiv that I have neither the time nur the inclination to be a candidate for thu s*?nato. I was greatly in earnest when a-Ued the President to commission m\ that I might talie part in the Sp*tiis,h war. My dread was lest it might bo thought I was piaying to the galleries, and to forestall a conclusion so damaging to my personal honor, I could see nothing better than to withdraw unconditiodally from the race to the senatorship. The same idea holds good still. "Ihis is my exact position at present. I am not, a candidate for the United States senate, and will not be still, if the legislators should see fit to nominate and elect me to that place, I would regard it my duty to accept, and go and do the best in my power. 'The honor would then be greatly enhanced—in fact, impossible to bo refused. "You are at liberty- to inform all in quiring friends of tb reply definitive of my position."

Gov, Mount's Farm.

On account of the recent illness of Governor Mount, Chas. Butler will manage his farm another year For the past two years Gov. Mount's farm has been of great interest People from many parts of the state coming to Montgomery couuty make it a special point to visit his place and 6ee the fat cattle'and herds of sheep. Dozens of pictures of the house have been taken and several of different parts of the farm. The road past his place is inviting to both wheelmen and buggy riders, and many are induced to go that way. Montgomery county is a place"i5f attraction anyhow, and we are proud of all of it.

A SAD ACCIDENT.

Hubert. InneHH GrolV, th« Aged Father MRI. OliMiiiicuy HI. Coutant, SIIHtaiiis K»tal In.juriea.

On Monday at the home of Mr. and Mrs, Chauncey M. Coutant, on south Water street, Robert Inness Groff, the father of Mrs. Coutant, met with an accident, which resulted in his death at (5 o'clock Tuesria/ a m. Mr. Groff was S!) years of age and was a man splendidly preserved for his yenrB, being fond of taking long walks. It IB surmised that he started to come down the stairs to walk out for awhile and that as ho reached the head of the tho stairs that ho tripped, falling down to tho bottom of tho llight. Mrs. Coutant and her daughters hoard him fall and running out into tho hall found him lying unconscious at the foot of the stairway. lie was picked up and a doctor sent for in all haste. The sufferer lingered until (5 o'clock next morning, when ho died, never having regained consciousness. Tho body was taken to Lawrenceburg Wednesday for interment.

Mr. Groff was born in Asbury, New Jersey, on July 5, 1810. In November, 1836, he was married to Miss Christina McClellan, of Johnstown, New Yorl. and to them eight children were born, four of whom still live. They are Mrs. Kate Andrews, of Anna, 111., Miss Sarah Groff. of Oil cinnati, Robert Groff, of Terre Uaute, and Mrs. C. M. Coutant, of this city. The deceased passed most of his active life in Lawrenceburg, this state, where he was a citizen highly respected. He was a member of the Presbyterian church and lived a consistent Christian life.

WHO DRUGGED TIM?

South Bond Is Agitated Over What Map]enet to Murphy,

The city of South Itena is reported as all torn up over the question of "Who drugged Tim Murphy?" The line of opinion in the town is in a measure drawn between the Oliver and the Auditorium theaters. The peoplo who think Tim Murphy was drugged are champions and supporters of the Oliver. Those who insist that Tim was not drugged, but yet in a condition also spelled wiih a "d," are rallied about the Auditorium. This is the way the Times spok« of Mr. MLIIphy's appearance: "A staggering, gibbering, vacantstared, whisky-soaked outward semblance of South Bend's old favorite, Tim Murphy, was pushed, pulled, dragged, coaxed and whewlled through a semblance of the loading role of Governor ranu in -The Carpel Itai.ger" HI the O iver tiaiurday nig ho 11 im b:iat'd cuodition would have mused him to b: ni&s.'d oil. any s'age Lu', fur tho proverbial, palienuo of a South Bend audiriuce, hut, even some of those present lined the calcium light apIJ iralun in jubilant disapproval of tho state of the star performer."

That is one ou Tim. Hut here is submitted another story of that eventful night tending, to show that Tim had been wronged. This is from the South P.end Tribune: "It was the first belief that Mr. Murphy was intoxicated. Later it was freely talked^that the man had been drugged. A dispatch from Mr. Murphy says ho was sick the day of the performance in South Uend, and his doctors had prescribed a malt tonic. He took the tonic, but was perfectly sober at 0 o'clock. The members of the company say that the usual reminder of his cues during the play had not tne slightest effectiupon him. Mr. Murphy, in BpeakiDg of the affair later, said the evening was the most horrible experiencei«of his life, and that it is utterly impossible for him to understand it."

Thus stands the 'case. The burning question of the hour in South Bend, which quite overleaps such trivial inquiries as "Who billed Cock Robin?" and "Who struck Billy Patterson?" is "Who drugged Tim Murphy?" It is said on good authority that when Mr. Murphy arrived in town he was as 6ober as it is possible for a man to be woo has not gazedt upon the rum demon for seven long years.

Sentinel Makes Another Guess. Indianapolis Sentinel: John Wingate is in the city. He came over yesterday for the purpose of taking part in a Beveridge consultation, which, however, did not materialize. That Wingate is for Beveridge is admitted, and this fact is significant in view of the fact that Mr. Wingate is and has been tho closest man to Gen. Lew Wallace and Governor Mount. If either of thum were a candidate Wingate would be in charge of the campaign. Mr. Conger expects to be stato tax commissioner and he would never ally himself with any other candidate if Governor Mount had any intention of being an active candidate.

Fighting Tom Herron.

Tom Herron, the notorious saloon keeper of Waynetown, has more trouble ahead of him. A remonstrance is now being circulated to prevent his getting license at the coming BCBsion of the commissioners.

Foul-Smelling Catarrh.

Catarrh ia one of the most obstinate diseases, aiyl hence the most difficult to ^et rid of.

T-her0 is but one way to cure it. The disease is in the blood, and all the sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures in the world can have no permanent effect whatever upon it. Swift's Specific cures Catarrh permanently, for it is the only remedy which can reach the disease and force it from the blood.

Mr. B. P. McAllister, of Harrodsbure. •Jr"' "ad Catarrh for years. He writes:

H,*,

seo no Improvement whatever,

though I was constantly treated with sprava and washes, and different inhaling remedies—

In fact, I could feel that each winter I was worse 'nan the year previous.

Finally It vras brought to my Inotloe that Catarrh wasablood disease, and after thinking over the matter, I saw it was unreasonable to expect to be cured by remedies which only reached the surface. I then decided to try

o. S. a., and after a few bottles were used, I noticed a perceptible improvement. Continuing the remedy, the disease was forced out of my system, and a complete cure was the result. I advise all who have this dreadful disease to abandon theirlocal treatment,which hasnever done them any good, and take S.8. S.,a rem. edy that can rcuuli the disease and cure it."

To continue the wrong treatment for Catarrh is to continue to suffer. Swift's Specific is_ a real blood remedy, and cures obstinate, deep-seated diseases, which other remedies have no effect whatever upon. It promptly reaches Catarrh, and never fails to cure most aggravated cases.
