Warn the Call That Harrington Had for His Life When He Urabbed a Live Electric Wire.

Just why Harry Harrington is not a dead man now is something that electricians aro unable to figure out. That he lives is nothing short of a miracle, as he tookthe full charge of 1,600 volts from a city electric light wire on baturday afternoon, which is enough to kill anybody ordinarily. He is employed as a telephone lineman by the Home company and was sent Saturday afternoon about two o'clock to effect certain repairs on the line in the rear of Dr. I. A. Detchon's house. A rope was fastened to a wire which had to be pulled over the electrically charged wire. The rubbing wore off tho insulation and for some reason, Harrington was obliged to take hold of the telephone wire. In an instant he was knocked over, which act luckily pulled the wire from his hand. He rolled over on the ground and was apparently lifeless when he was reached by one of the linemen who immediately went in in search of aid. Miss Eula Lee was a witness of the accident and went to his aid, and by the use of artificial respiration was able to revive him to a small extent. Dr. Barcus soon came and applied restoratives and Harrington finally regained consciousness. He was taken to his home and was Boon out of danger.

The accid'ent that caused the death of Robert White several months ago was almost identical with that of Harrington's, and how one happened to survive and the other die is a mystery. Harrington must have been insulated in some manner or he would never have been able to withstand the shock of the strong current.

BUSINESS MENS' EXCURSION.

A Project On Foot to Bring People to the City for the Purpose of Trading With the Crawfordsville

Merchants.

Several of the prominent business men of the city have hit upon a scheme to bring people here to trade. The idea is to run a series of cheap excur sions from nearby cities, at frequent in tervals, and it is believed that the'-plan will have a beneficial effect upon the general business of the town. The first excursion will be run one day dur ing the second week in June. One will be from Waveland on the Vandalia, and the rate for the round trip will be 29 cents, with a fare of 19 cents for in termediate points. The same fares will prevail from Roachdale and points north on the Monon. The plan in charging these fares is for the business men to pay the additional amounts. 1 these two are successful, it is the ir tention of those having the project in charge to run a series of them during the dull season.

POISONED.

Four Little Children Have a Close Call for Their Lives—All Were Poisoned by Some Unknown Substance

Four little children ranging from the ages of two to eight years, two of whom belong to John Byrd and two to Charles Carver, came near passing to the great beyond jFridayevening.

About

three o'clock in the afternoon Dr. H. W. Sigmond was called to the home of the Carvers on the extension of Chestnut street east, where he found the children to be suffering from a poison. Emetics were administered to all the children and after several hours work they were all brought out of danger, though the little Carver boy, aged four, was in a very weak condition this morning. The children all deny that they ate a*y weeds or anything else injurious, though they were all out plaving until taken sick, and the physicians are at a loss to explain their illness.

A BIG MESS.

Prosecutor Reeves Is Stirring Up a Beautiful Case at Ladoga, and the v. Christian Church Is Having

Trouble of Its Onn.

Prosecutor Reeves is showing the right spirit in the handling of his official duty just now, in that he is not doing any discriminating in the choice of those who break the law. Mention was made a few days ago of a seining party at Ladoga that was made up of some of the leading lights of that place, and also that they would be given a chance to explain why they had any right to seine when common people could not. It was widely advertised throughout the country a few weeks ago that the new tabernacle recently completed by the Christian church of Ladoga would be dedicated and a hearty invitation was extended everybody to attend. One of the largest inducements held out was that a famous evangelist, Rev. Allan Wilson, would be present and expound. He came as represented and aid his work as per contract. Now Mr. Wilson, like many another preacher, has a predilection for fishing, but when he came to Ladoga he forgot to bring his angling outfit, and as the Ladoga people are not used to hook and line, they sought to do the next best thing to satisfy Mr. Wilson's longing, and they borrowed a big gillnet. Headed by Rav. W. T, Brooks, pastor of the Christian church, they set out in company with several of the deacons and elders for a day's outing. They came back with a nice string of fish, and one Mr. Henry Cook, who seems to have been the informant in the affair, claims to have mysteriously lost a string of fine specimens of the finny tribe which he had left tied to a root near where the church people were seining. Of course he does not claim that they took them, but he thinks that perhaps the fish accidently got caught in the net, and that in the excitement the seing party forgot to return them. At any rate he could not find them and filed information.

Prosecutor Reeves secured several names last Monday and last night he returned to the Clark township capital and completed the list which includes Dick Rose, Ed Barnes, John Neff, Sank Epperson, Rev. W. T. Brooks, David Britts, Thomas Britts and Rev. Allan Wilson in addition'to those mentioned last Monday.

The affidavits were made out to-day and the good people are in for a trial and the chanceB are that they will have an opportunity to take up a special collection.

Knowing ones at Ladoga say that this IB not the first time the preacher and his friends have been seining and public opinion seems to be against the parson and his friends. The real truth of what is known will not come out until the trial which has not yet been set, but it is said that when it comes off there will be some Bensations sprung that will have a mighty effect in the Christian church.

Safe at Last.

The Big Four has given notice to its engineers that the arch over Dry Branch is at last in a safe condition for the trains to run over at schedule speed. Since it was built all trains have been under orders to run at three miles per hour while crossing, but it has now settled enough that it is safe for fast running.

Two things in the treatment of nasal catarrh are now fully understood. First, the drying process is a delusion that produces more mischief than benefit. Second, science, common sense and experience proclaim Ely's Cream Balm to be instant relief and final, certain cure. It cleanses the diseased membranes and never makes the patient sneeze. Price 50 cents. Sold by druggists and by Ely Brothers, 56 Warren street, New York.

NO VERDICT.

The Jury In the Gllmore Case Unable to Decide Whether Gllmore Is a Legal Practitioner—Nine to Three for Acquittal.

A disagreement was the best the jury in the Gilmore case could do after being out eighteen hours. The argument of Mr. Mount was concluded at 2::!0 yesterday afternoon, after which Judge Piety gave his instructions to the jury and at twenty minutes to three the twelve good men retired. The first ballot showed eight for acquittal and four for conviotion. In a short time one man came around with the majority and there they hung until nine o'clock when they were oalied in by acting .fudge Thomas, Judge Piety having gone home last evening. When asked if a verdict had been reached, foreman George Widener, of Elmdalc, reported in the negative. The jury was then asked if in their opinion a verdict could be reached if more time were given them, but it was the unanimous opinion that they could never get together on the question, and Judge Thomas then discharged the jury.

It was the consensusof opinion among the lawyers that there would be no conviotion, as they say that in the light of other suits that have been tried under the same law It is evident that there is something inherently wrong with the law. Jt is said that when the next legislature meets a strong movement will be inaugurated to repeal this law, and it was the opinion of one lawyer of this city who is also a member of the legislature, that such a movement would be successful.

A DARLINGTON SCANDAL.

Nancy Booher Alleges All Sorts of Mean Things Against Her Husband ana :Wants $2,000 Alimony.

On Saturday through her attorneys, W. D. Jones and A. B. Anderson, Mrs. Nancy J. Booher filed suit for divorce from her husband, Ephriam W. Booher. The parties to the suit reside at Darlington and are quite prominent and well connected, and the filing of the suit has caused all kinds of talk in that staid little village.

In her complaint she alleges that they were piarried in February 1-386, and have lived together until May of this year. Then, she says she learned of improper relations between her husband and one Mary Vaughan, who, if the clause of the complaint is accurate, has not such a reputation for chastity as would let her into the upper crust of society. She further complains that her husband at divers times has cursed and maligned her and refused to support her. At one time she says that he struck her and knocked her againBt a door and injured her arm. His other shortcomings are numerous, among them being the appropriating of $415 belonging to the plaintiff. He has other faultB she avers, but thinks that if the court can see all that she has set forth it will not hesitate to grant the action. She asks for a divorce and alimony to the sum of $2,000, which she says the defendant is worth in real estate and personal property.

Suit For Support.

Mrs. Katie Shular has filed suit against her husband, George Shular and Shorty Shular, for support. She alleges that she and her husband wejre married in January and that he deserted her in April of this year, taking to Shorty Shular all of their household goods which are of the value of fifty dollars. She Bays that she is unable to support herself and asks that George be make- to pay her five dollars per week for the ensuing ten months lor her support.

A Big Detective Company. James Swearingen has just returned from Remington, in Jasper county, where he organized a horse thief detective association of ninety-four members. This is one of tho largest asso clatlons in the state and rellects no little credit on Mr. Swearingen as a hustler.

Caution

This is not a gentle work—but when you think how liable you are not to purchase for 75c the only remedy universally known and a remedy that has had the largest sale of any medicine in the world since 1868 for the cure and treatment of consumption and throat and lung troubles Without losing its great popularity all these years, you will be thankful we called your attention to Boschee's German syrup. There are so many ordinary cough remedies made by druggists and others that are cheap and good for light colds perhaps, but for severe coughs, bronchitis, croup—and especially for consumption, where there is difficult expectoration and coughing during the nights ana mornings, there is nothing like German Syrup. Sold by all druggists in the civilized world.

They're Still Mixing.

The Booher divorce suit at Darlington, which was filed Saturday, is still causing some trouble and one young man, Booher's stepson, ^s here In jail as a result. It seems that the mother of young Franklin, the man in jail, oomplained Friday to him that Mr. Booher had struck her. Franklin took his stepfather to task for it on the street and in the melee which ensued he threw a rock at Booher which went through the windows of Booher's milkwagon. Booher had Franklin arrested and the latter, being unable to pay or Btay, was sent here to apend fifteen days in the county bastlle.
