If the present weather keeps up those who have permitted their coal supply to run down will need another introduction to the coal man. For a time it looked as though the winter was over, but it seems as though it was just coming and we were in for a cold snap. March and April must have gotten mixed up in the calendar. Tom Covault who assaulted Howard Burdg a few days ago. had his hearing before Mayor Coffee, and after hearing the evidence, the Mayor concluded that Covault was guilty and gave him the usual dose in such cases. Tom stayed the docket and nowswears he will avenge himself by tiling several affidavits againt Burdg. The new street sweeper purchased by John Sprague, was thoroughly tested last evening on Monroe street, and did its work in a proficient manner. The sweeper is of modern type, and is up to date in every respect. Mr. Sprague has contracted with the city to sweep the streets for three years and from this time on the streets should shine. i > i iij.C Mastick: <» 4 < ► < ;; —JOBBER OF— ■ 1 > < < > :: Cigars : :: anJ Tobacco •

M. F. Rice made a business trip to Berne today. L. A. Graham made a business trip to Monroe today. R- ”’jife went to Ft. Wayne this morning to spend the day with friends. These April showers, condensed, don t exactly please the average Adams county farmer, but no remedy has been offered by either Hicks or Foster. D. M. Hensley, the jeweler, has on display at his store in the show window- a peacock with its feathers spread and in all its glory. The work was done by Mr. Hensley himself and is a fine piece of work and Heck can feel justly proud of the same. The window has attracted considerable attention. W. H. Darby, a photographer from Indianapolis, is moving to our city, he having accepted a position with J. E. Moser. Mr. Darby comes highly recommended as a photographer and as a business man and he certainly must be all right or Mr. Moser would not have employed him, as he secures nothing but the best. Mr. Darby will reside at the corner of Jefferson and Third streets. Ralph Behringr who is booked to manage the local team this season is due to arrive in this city Thursday, when plans for the coming season will ]je discussed, and in the event of Behringer accepting the position, he will be authorized to immediately get busy for the opeining of the season and get a line on his players. The base ball enthusiasm is now running high, and that Decatur will have a crackerjack team is assured.

Saturday was the heaviest day in the history of Fort Wayne so far as egg receipts were concerned, according to the way James B. White, of the White Fruit House, thinks. Nearly 15,000 dozen eggs were received at that establishment alone, and represented a cash valuation of about $2,500. The eggs were brought directly by the farmers from all parts of the county, and were the results of the industry of the national fowl for the past week alone. An attempt was made to rob the Gorman and Dalton grocery on East Market street Sunday night at about midnight. Though the attempt was a bold one, it was discovered just in the nick of time as the robbers had almost succeeded in gaining /entrance to the store and had they done so they would have probably pecured what money there w r as in the place before being discovered, as the store is dark and there were but few people passing at that hour.—Huntington News-Democrat. In spite of the disagreeable weather of Sunday, the Knights of Columbus turned out to the number of fifty-three and attended the initiation at Logansport The special train chartered by the Ft. Wayne knights arrived in the city shortly after 10 and after taking on board the Huntington party, made good time to Peru where about thirty more were taken on board. The train arrived in Logansport shortly after 11, and the three hundred and fifteen visiting members were met by a reception committee of the Logansport Knights. They were conducted to the hall where the work was being conferred. —Huntington News-Democrat. That an automobile accident is about as serious as a runaway horse was experienced by B. B. Grinnell last Thursday evening when his machine I,came unmanageable in front of F. I ”. Shaefcr’s residence on Mein street and was completely upset, burying his two children. Gertrude and • Henry under it. Mr. Grinnell himself escaped with only a small bruise on his left arm, but the two children were severely bruised about their faces and heads, and the boy for awhile was unconscious. It is a miracle that not more injuries were sustained by them. The automobile was also badly' wrecked, but by Saturday was again in running order, and Mr. Grinnell is again spinning along merrily.—Berne Witness.

George Klein and Dyke Frisinger left today for Ft, Wayne, where they will play with the Van Wert bowling team in their contest against Mansfield. The boys received word to come at noon and they will no doubt bowl their end of the game in exceptional good shape. Mrs. John Ault, living two miles east of Pleasant Mills, died Thursday evening, and was buried Sunday forenoon at Mt. Tabor cemetery. Her death was due to dropsy and other complications. Her illness was of several months duration. Relatives of this city attended the funeral. Owing to the bad weather, work on the remodeling of the Murray Hotel has ceased, and all work is at a standstill. Mr. Murray is disappointed over the turn of affairs, as he fully expected to have everything under headway by this time. As soon as the weather settles, however, a full force of men will be put to work and the building rushed to completion. This evening at eight o'clock at the home of Mrs. May Hale, on East I Central Avenue, will occur the marriage of her son, Mr. Amos Hale, and Miss Nettie Fryback, a daughter of Oliver Fryback. The ceremony will be performed by the Rev. H. B. Diefenbach and will be witnessed only by the immediate relatives of; the bride and groom.—Bluffton News. | The new extension of the interurban • will run to the Moser gallery or just | across Jefferson street, the excavation has been made this far and the men today commenced the work of tearing up Court street where the “Y” will be put in to be used as a turning table. How soon the line is to be extended on south Mr. Fledderjohann ; would not state, although he did say : that a survey had been made to Celina, Ohio. According to the Journal-Gazette the Mansfield, 0., and Van Wert, 0., bowling teams have deposited their respective shares of the purse to be . played for this evening at the Brunswick Bowling Alleys. The teams are evenly matched and in connection with playing for the four hundred dollars are playing for the championship of Ohio. The fans who attend from this city will no doubt be given a run for their money. The commissioner of internal revenue has laid down the rule that de- , natured alcohol found on the premises of dealers or manufacturers who fail to obtain permits, or to keep the required record, is to be seized, and such cases are to be reported to the United States district attorney for prosecution. Collectors have been reporting the failure of dealers to make returns, as required by the regulations governing the manufacture and sale ■ of the new fuel. Another fight is expected next Tuesday evening when the council meets in regular session in relation to the j construction of cement sidewalks | along this street. It is announced that another petition will be pre- , sented which represents nearly all of j the property owners along the line i who are protesting against the proposed improvement as prayed for in the original petition. A full representation of the property owners is expected and oratory will flow from every direction. Although horse buyers have been active in this county for some time and the supply of marketable horses has been thinned out, a number of animal are shipped out nearly every week. Most people do not realize the extent of the horse business in this county. Farmers every year pay more attention to raising horses. Every year the quality of the stock grows better and Adams county horses command good prices in the markets. Horses bring in more money to some farmer than do any other other kind of stock.

Kalver, Miss Harruff, Miss Nellie Winnes, Mrs. J. Bollinger, Miss Letta Ernst, Mrs. H, A. Porter, the Misses Jessie Winnes, Jessie Blossom and Fanchen Rice. The crowd went away fully expecting to have an enjoyable time. The case of Smart vs. the Clover Leaf railroad company and which has been in the courts of Shelby county, Illinois, and in the appellate court for four years, has at last been settled. The jury in the circuit court of Shelby county having brought in a verdict for the defendant. The cause of the suit was an accident at a crossing near Herrick, in Shelby county, on March 18, 1901, when Alen T. Smart, a farmer of that vicinity was struck by a train and instantly killed. The administrator of the estate, Thomas H. Smart, at once brought suit against the Clover Leaf and won in the circuit court judgment for $1,250. The company took the case to the appellate court and a new trial was ordered. In the new trial the jury disagreed, and in the last trial a decision for the defendant resulted. —Delphos Herald. EMPLOYES INTERESTS INVOLVED In Case Before U. S. Supreme Court Today. Washington. D. C., April 10. —The future interest of more than a million railway employes is involved in a case argued before the supreme court of the United States today. It is the constitutionality of an act of congress making common carriers responsible for injuries to employes caused by the negligence of fellow employes. The result hangs in the balance. The case is a damage suit against the Illinois Central and the Yazoo & Mississippi railroad companies and comes from an error in the Tennessee district court, where the court held the law unconstitutional. The plaintiff, Mrs. Harvard, a poor colored woman, was trying to recover for the death of her husband, but was balked until the case caught the attention of Roosevelt a few months ago. Attorney general Bonapart will personally address the court in behalf of the government, which has cast its lot with the employes in this instance.
