I’uder the head of announcements, readers es The Democrat will find the list of candidates. The number is increasing, several new names appearing this week. Mr. J. Young, of Van Wert, Ohio, was in Decatur on Tuesday, and says that he will open up his merchant tailor establishment about the 10th of the month. Norval Blackburn, J. D. Hale, and A. J. Hill, attended the meeting of the congressional committee at Marion last week, proceedings of which appear elsewhere. Jesse Pearl, a daughter of W. P. Moon, of this place died on Thursday evening, February 16, aged two years and twentythree days. The funeral serrices were held at the M. E. Church, Saturday morning following. Rev. M. S. Melts, officiating. 0. J. Kover is working away at the freseoeing of the new M. E. Church. The outline of the work begins to appear, but as yet very little idea can be had of how the room will look when completed. It will be finished in two weeks.

They wauled two dollars for two arms full of wood last week. But the roads were in terrible condition. The moral is buy wood when the roads are good. Then again, how can a poor fellow, an editor for instance, make.the advice practical ? John Clouser, who was recently sent to the Hospital for Insane, Indianapolis. in consequence of his inability to comprehend Bob Ingersolism, is getting belter. It is now thought it will require but a short time to effect a cure. George Smith's saloon was robbed Tuesday night. The burglars entered through the celler. They drank a little pop. cook some cigars and a little money, in all, amounting to sls to $lB. Somebody's little game will be nipped in the bud some of these nights, and it may cost them a trip to Michigan City. John Sputter, wlo lives near W. P Rice’?, was arrested JFednesday evening, for abusing his family, throwing them out of doors, etc. His little boy complained to Pros. Att’y, J. T. France. The Sheriff arrested him in bed, which he had mistaken for a privy, and was odorous enough to overwhelm the perfume of a thousand flowers. The filthy beast was brought to town and locked in the Sheriff's office over night, from which he escaped the next morning by jumping out of the window. He needs reconstruction badly.

The T. D. & B. railroad commenced running an extra train on their road this week. The train leaves Delphos each morning for Marion, passing through Decatur, going west at 7:31 a. m. In the evening the train returns, arriving at Decatur, going east at 6:37 p. ni. This train is a great convenience to the travelling public along the route, and will prove a profitable enterprise to the stockholders, for which the management should be commended. Ma.

A FALSE AND CRUEL STORY. Th* Rumored Outrage, Mutilation and Murder of Miss Emily Numbers.

Tuesday afternoon, this community were inexpressibly shocked by a telegram from Willshire, to the effect that Emily Numbers had been brutally outraged, horribly mutilated and found dead in her school room, near Salem, this county. It flew over the town like wild fire, groups of excited citizens gathered on the street corners and discussed the horrible affair in all its beatings, until for the time being it seemed and was feared by many to be too true. Had it been true, and the perpetrators been brought to town at that time, their lives would not have been worth a farthing. It came upon us while busily engaged preparing matter for the present edition of the paper, in away and manner that for the time being we believed was too true. Work was impossible. The horrible scene flamed before us. A young innocent girl, full of life and vitality, surprised by iuffians, strong in her womanhood, she fought for her virtue and her life, until death came to her relief. Such was a brief outline of the picture that spread itself before us. Going out upon the street to gather up the details, happily the story was not confirmed. Too long a time bad elapsed between the alleged committal of the crime and its reaching this place. If it had been true, there had been ample time for authentic news of the same to reach us. Inquiries sent in different directions, also disproved the story, and great was the relief when the whole thing fell to the ground. It is proper in this connection tosay that Miss Emily Numbers is one of our best young women, bright, intelligent, having graduated from the Decaturpublie schoollast June.audenjoying the respect and esteem of the entire community. She is now engaged near Salem, this county, teaching her first term of school.

Not only was the Number’s family at this place excited by the false rumor, but Mrs. Mary Numbers, of Monmouth, who has a daughter teaching in French Township, also received a shock from the story. She heard it at Monmouth, Tuesday, and walked through the mud to Decatur to happily find it discredited. When the story was disproved here, rumor located the outrage in Jay county. but all inquiries failed to materialize it. In conversation with Rolla Colderwood and , of Blue Creek township, they inform us that a story of this kind has been for three weeks floating around in that community, and in that portion of Ohio adjacent, that had its origin in an obscure newspaper paragraph of an outrage happening to a lady, by the name of Numbers elsewhere. This floating story is undoubtedly that which finally reached Willshire last Monday, with a location, name and details, as they were transmitted here. We have not had time to make that diligent and exhaustative inquiry desirable under the circumstances, but believe that we have substantially indicated its origin. The community were happily relieved, when the untruthfulness of the story became manifest, and will doubtless be glad to learn it did not have its origin in malice, or base motives. In such a case the originators would deserve condign punishment. As it is, the public may learn a useful lesson, if they will only remember to be very careful in giving currency to rumors, and when they do, not to magnify them. The story was gathered in by the associated press, and was published in most of the papers Wednesday morning, resulting in several applications from different papers for special dispatches giving details, from New York 1 and Chicago. Special correspondents of the Cincinnati Enquirer, were here ' Wednesday night telegraphing particulars.

Death of Ex-Sheriff David King. Struck Dm with a Beer «*»•« and 1111Hard Cue In J. ,|. Tunelllcr’e sSaloen. ieetiuiuur Before Coroner'* ln<weat—Pnel Merlttm Examination- Opinion ot Physiciu Arrest of J. J. Touellier uud Julia Toneilier aud Flight of Henry Toneilier--Bond 83,000—Death— Burial..Biogrnplilt'a 1

Friday morning our citizens were shocked with the information that David King had been struck down the night before by J. J. Toneilier and his sons, had been taken home and since been in an unconscious condition. He remained in this comatose state un til Monday afternoon, when he expired. When it was announced that King was in a dangerous condition, Henry, who struck him with the billiard cue, particulars of which appears in the testimony before the Coroner, left for parts unknown, Saturday morning, anticipating a fatal termination of his injuries. J. J. Toneilier and his son J. Tonnellier were each arrested and held to bail in the sum of SSOO to await the final result of his injuries. On Monday afternoon, they were rearrested and held in the sum of $5,000. The preliminary examination is set for Wednesday, March 9th. Following is the substance of the material portion of the testimony developed at the Coroner’s inquest, also, the report of the post-mortem examination:

King came into the saloon and complained of loosing a five dollar gold piece and said he wanted it if anybody had found it. John Toneilier said he would give it to him if he found it. King was standing with his hands iu his pocket, when Harmon Heiman, the butcher remarked, I butchered your cow to-day, when King replied you owe me two dollars on the cow yet, and said with an oath he was going to have it. The butcher said his boy, Weaver, had told him he had paid King the two dollars. King then demanded the two dollars and said he was going to have it or fight. J. J. Toneilier said to King, sit down and keep still, when King said, no sir, I will not do it; lam going to fight that butcher. Then King took off his overcoat and laid it on the billiard table, stepped back to the stove, saying he was going to fight that butcher, who then raised up from his chair and said he would not fight. J. J. Toneilier who was stirring up the fire with the poker, commanded King to keep still; laid down the poker, went to the door, opened it and told King to go out. King said I won tdo it; lam going to have a fight with the butcher before I leave the house. Then J. J. Toneilier picked up the poker and said d— you, we will see whether you will have a fuss in here. He drew the poker to strike King, who caught it, when they commenced struggling and

King came near throwing Tonellier on the stove. While King and Tonellier were struggling, J. Tonellier stepped back behind the bar and got a beer glass, went up to King and seized him him by the left arm and struck him with the beer glass twice on the left side of the head, then stepped away from King, who came near falling and seemed to be giving away as if stunned from the effects of the blows. Henry Tonellier then went to the cue rack, look down a cue and struck King a blow over the left side of the head with the but end of the cue as King was giving away from the blows from the beer glass, which felled him to the floor. Frank Sylvester then stepped up and when King raised up and sit up he commenced feeling as if to find something to raise himself up by. Sylvester then helped him up and he and J. J. Tonellier helped him to put on his overcoat, when Sylve iter took him home; King havingscveral fainting spells on the way. Near the corner by Dr. Trout’s, Sylvester asked him if he knew who was taking him home, he answered no, when he was told; King then remarked I am afraid I have got my last blow. He made a similar remark to his wife soon after reaching home, which was the last he spoke

intelligently. « n r By request of the coroner, Dr. D. U. M. Trout held a post mortem exami- t nation, in the presence of Drs. W. H. , Schrock, A. G. Holloway, B. R. Freeman, Jonas Coverdale, C. T. Dorwin, , C. A. Jelleff, and Wm. Trout. i His report is condensed as follows: . External appearance of the body re- , veiled no marks of violence, except on head, which showed a contusion of one inch, about one inch to to the left of the parietal suture, and one inch postericr to coronal suture. An incision was made over parietal suture from ear to ear, through integument and dissected anteriorily and posteriorily, which revealed extravasation of blood on left side at a point corresponding with contusion of scalp. On right side there was two contusions; one at a point midway between parietal eminence and coronal suture, and one at a point two inches posterior to coronal suture, and on temporal edge, with extravasation of blood throughout the entire attachment and body of temporal muscle. On removal of periostum there was revealed a fracture, commencing at a point corresponding with , articulation of the greater wing of . sphenoid bone with parietal bone, and entering the right parietal bone at or

near the anterior inferior angle, passing upwards and backwards, crossing the parietal suture at a point an inch posterior to coronal suture, and extending into left parietal bone about two inches. On left side there was revealed two fractures. One of frontal and parietal bones, commencing at a point one and a half inches to the left of parietal suture, and two inches back of coronal suture and passing forward through the caroual suture into left half of frontal bone one inch. The second commencing at the temporal ridge in left parietal bone half inch posterior to coronal suture, passing upward and slightly backward through left parietal bone about one and a half inches in length. On removing calvaria and membranes there was found extravasation of blood from rupture of anterior branches of middle meningeal artery, on both sides, with most extravasation on right side at parietal and temporal sutures, with blood clots adhering to parietal bones. Death was, in my opinion, caused by compression of the brain, from the effusion of blood from the arteries at the point of rupture of meningeal artiries above described, principally, however, from compression on right side. Inspection of brain revealed no abnormal condition. Inspection of lungs, heart, liver, stomach, and spleen revealed no abnormal condition. Dr. B. R. Freeman, at the request of the Coroner, made a special report of the case, which does not materially differ from that of Dr. Trout, which consequently is omitted.

State of Indiana, 1 Adams County. | I, John E. Smith, Coroner within and for said County and State, being called upon on the 27th day of February, 1882, to examine the dead body of one David King, to ascertain how, and in what manner he came to his death, did proceed to hold an inquest on said body, and after hearing the evidence, I do find that the deceased came to his death from blows received from a beer glass and a billiard cue, in the hands of John Toneilier and Henry Toneilier, sons of John J. Toneilier, wh :le in an affray with and in the saloon of John J. Toneilier, the blows being given with such force as to cause death. John E. Smith, Coroner.

In cases of this kind it is impossible to ascertain all the facts growing out of and surrounding the sudden taking off of one of our citizens, but enough is furnished to form an intelligent opinion. The worst that can be said of the deceased is that in his later years he has from time to time indulged too freely in intoxicating liquors, and at such times was belligerent and aggressive and the greater the intoxication the more belligerent ana Helpless ne Became. On several occasions he has been severely punished, and in none of these cases did he injure anyone because of his practically helpless condition. This much is in justice to Tonncllier’s. It was iu this condition that he went into their saloon. The result is described in the testimony before the Coroner. It is simply this: Toneilier and his two sons, and some five by standers were present when the difficulty between King and the butcher took place. King quarreling with the butcher—threatening to whip him, but

making no particular effort to do-so, except taking off his overcoat and threats, when J. J. Tonellier rushed at him with th- iron poker, and while they .were struggling, J. J. Tonellier struck him two heavy blows with a beer glass, when Henry finished the business with a billiard cue. The wonder is that David King did not fall dead in his tracks, and had he not been a man of wonderful vitality, sueh would have been the case. In its worst form it was a cowardly murder. From a charitable point of view, it was a needless, causeless taking of human life, showing a remarkable lack of judgment as to cause and effect, but which is no excuse or justification of the crime. And with the number present,

there was no necessity to use violence to expel any one man, such as would put a life in jeopardy. The funeral services took place Tuesday, at the Presbyterian Church, Rev. C. A. Kanouse officiating. Notwithstanding the storm of rain, the church was crowded to the utmost capacity, showing an unusual excitement and interest in the sorrowful circumstances. the final act of consummation, being the committal to the ground of the earthly remains of a

citizen, a husband and father. His remains were born to their last resting place by the following: Thos. Mallonee, Michael Wertzberger, B. 11. Dent. Henry Cronister, Albright Christen, 11. H. Meyers, Wm. Cully, Joseph Shady, T. F. Auten, A. J. Teeple, Peter Decker and A. J. Hill, all of whom were his old comrades in the 89th Indiana. To those who had been with him in the strife and battle of contending armies, the survivors in the bloody fray of 1861-65, it was an occasion of sadness and sorrow. It aroused the tenderest of feelings, tightened the hand grasp, and moistened the eyes with , tears, of those who remembered the t alligned ranks as they stood shoulder ■ to shoulder in those days. Then came the memory of past fatalities, of dwind- • ling ranks, of the survivors, one of i whose number, who had escaped all to f meet death in so ignoble manner. It 1 j was inexpressibly sad. r 1 David King was born in Tuscarawas

county, Ohio, April 10th, 1836. In 1841 he came with his parents to Decatur, where he has since resided. August 14, 1862, he enlisted as a private in Company I, 89th Indiana Volunteers, serving as a faithful soldier until the close of the war, when he was mustered out as a Commissary Sargeant of the regiment. On returning home he resumed his old trade, blacksmith, until 1870 when he was elected Sheriff and again re-elected in 1872. As an officer he was honest faithful and efficient, discharging his duties to the satisfaction of all parties. On retiring tc private life he resumed his trade, which he followed until his decease. A SUGGESTION. Substitute for Gravel Roads. The question of good communication to the various railroad lines of the country is now receiving that attention from the people and the press that its importance demands. Governor Porter recently made the statement, that the people of Indiana had made a mistake in first building railroads; that they should have built gravel roads first. While not agreeing with him in this particular, yet their importance is universally conceeded. Recently a commercial traveler, while visiting this place in connection with his business, incidentally related some of his experience while traveling in the south, among other things mentioned a road in a low bottom in Louisiana, the soil of which was soft black muck, which had been thrown up about two feet, leaving a ditch on either side. This road was built a distance of ten miles and had been roofed over with a shed, so as to throw the water into the ditch on either side. The result was the road packed solid, making a good serviceable road, which had been in use some two years, and with little care and attention is a good solid road, over which a large amount of teaming is done with very heavy loads.

The idea struck us that this kind of road might be serviceable in our county, and in other places where there is a scarcity of gravel. The cost of poles, of material for the roof, and of building the same can easily be computed, when the width of the road is once determined and its length given. Aside from this there are various materials used for roofs besides wood, such as iron, felt, etc. The liability to partial or total destruction from storms should be taken into account. There is no doubt that a good substantial road could be built in the man ner described. If it can be kept dry it will not cut AAIUrO than omm- To a dry time in the summer. They may at times become dusty, but dust is not as bad as mud. With such a road a farmer could do his marketing on a rainy day, when he could do nothing else. The subject is thrown out for discussion for what it is worth. Heretofore our only remedy for mud has been broken stone or gravel. There may be substitutes, and this may be the means of calling attention to something that will become a practical substitute for the materia] mentioned.
