The Stone Station Explosion. The Richmond Palladium, in speaking of the reent horrible explosion at Westler A Barnes mill at Stone Station, on the G. R. A 1. R. R says: The mill stood in a clearing half a mile west of the station, and the vil 1 age. which consisted of six or seven small houses, was strung along be tween them. The boiler exploded at 15 minutes' after 7 o’clock, carrying away the roof, and piling the sides and broken 1 rafters in a heap on the spot where it i s’ood. Wesler was found lying on his i face with his bead crushed, his legs I wraped around a post and every large | bone in his body broken. Hod Clark s jugular vein-was severed by a flying bolt or splinter and his skull was mashed out of shape. William Yankee’s brains were running out on the ground ana .one side of his head w.i, | ground into mince meat. A piece of iron penetrated Louis Mann’s side and inflicted a wound from which he was dying at five o’clock. The three men who were hurt were able to walk about their homes. The cause of the accident is a mystery that will probably never be explained. One of the men thinks that they were carrying between one hundred and eighty and one hundred and ninty pounds of steam, and had the safety valve weighted down. The boiler which came from I-rauman s chair back factory, between the Wernlee Orphan s Home and the tollgate on the Boston pike, had a capacity of forty-horse power and was in good condition when it was put in six , months ago. The engine was made by I Garr ScoU A Co. for them, and was : similar to those that they use mi their ! i portable machines. The wp M ; not been working very satisfactoi y . I and Mr. Wesler was repairing it when the boiler bursted. The most plauM- ’ blc theory of themccident is the one <-iven vesterday, that the pump diet not force any water into the boikr until i after it had boiled dry and th ?n suddenly began to pump. The’r. <ult was a terrific explosion that tore the boiler into a dozen pieces and sent one piece, weighing at least 2,000 pounds across the road into a field 200 feet distant and hurled the flues back into the woods. GOO feet away. The bodies ol the men had been taken to their homes before the reporter arrived, :nd were being prepared for burial. Two wen taken to a country churchyard two miles distant. to-di<y, another 9 Deerfield, and Weilar wa< buried Earlham cemetry this evening.

Circuit Court. The trial of Jacob Baker, indicted for the homicide of Wm. Howell, in Allen oounty, commenced Monday. The first ’ 'Jay was occupied in impunn-I ling the jury. Some eighteen names of the iwenty-four of' the special venire were used before the I jury were finally selected, which stands •s follow? Wm. Jackson, W. O. Hoffman, Lewis Long, Wm. Snyder, C. O. Bly, G i H. Martz, Conrad (’ronister, Washington Steele, Wm. Conrad, Joe ll’ullt, Peter Par-1 rot, and J. H. Panish . V singular feature of the case is that the principal witnesses for thy State are relations ot Baker, two of them iiis sons. Some eighty witnesses were supp. uaed 1 iking them altogether they are a hard, crowd, ftrom their own testimony they have tor along time been engaged in preserving themselves in whisky. There was among them also, several of the genus “smart Alex, ' several of whom created an unfavorable Impression upon the audience, she ladies demeaned themselves becomingly, Mrs. Baker and Howell deserve and re- I eeived sympathy as the principal sufferers growing out of the unfortunate homicide. ' I’lie Democrat refrains from quoting les- i timony pending (tie rendition of the verdict. Lemuel Hartwick was tried last week for the larceny of an overcoat and obstetrical instrument taken from Dr. Am. P. McMillen, under the following circumstances. Hartwick had been employed for some time past among the German farmers near Berne, making and repairing harness. He had been frequently trusted with sums of money to buy stock, tools, etc., at Berne and discharged his commissions in it manner satisfactory to his employers. His last order could not be tilled ut Bertie, consequently he ; came to Decatur. It seems there were I too many temptations among the saloons of Decatur for Lemuel, the result was he became drunk as a beast, more properly speaking a lord. The boys spotted him as a subject of fun and trained him unmercifully. On the round he lost his hat, wallowed in the mud and water, in fact he was a pitiable object. He wandered around until the latter part of the night, when he knocked at Dr. McMillen s. The doctor saw his condition, took him in, built a fire, made him a pallet to lie down upon and retired to rest, having been up with a sick patient the night previous. After getting warmed up, Lemuel concluded he would resume his explorations around town and so informed the Dr. and put in a plea for the Dr's, bat, which was granted, Finding the Dr. so good natured, Lemuel took his overcoat, the pocket of which contained the instrument. Having squandered his money and his appetite still unsatisfied, Hartwick concluded he would raise the necessary funds for the continuation of his spree by pawning the coat and instrument. While engaged in this financial transaction he was arrested. Os course the proof of the guilt was without a flaw and resulted in giving the poor fellow a year at Michigan City iu order to sober up. We said poor fellow advisedly, because in our opinion Hartwick is not a thief, all that was proven to the. contrary notwithstanding. He was drunk and did not know what he was doing when he took ■ the eoat. He had left his own overcoat at a saloon and doubtless thought he was simply taking his own. when he took the Dr’s, and when he got down

town and found there was a mistake somewhere, if he ever did comprehend one had been made, his appetite was pressing him too hard for a drink to be particular as to the method it might 1 be attained. His crime was such as 1 was not excusable under the law. and the finding and sentence a simple act of justice. The circumstances are given in detail as a warning to those who come after. It is a dangerous business to drink to excess, as many could testify, and so long as people 1 will drink to excess other examples ' will follow. The moral is. do not drink strong drink. C. H. Holmes, the Miesse House cook, indieted for the larceny of a commercial traveller's samples, is: 1 witneesTor the State. His evidence is necessary to identify the goods. — JI4RRIEI*. By the Rev. Wm.

Sensational Journalism. Last week the excitement over the reported outrage of Miss Emily Numbers was as stated in The Democrat. ■'inexpressible.” It lasted but a short i time when our people became satisfied that if such an occurrence hal taken place, it was not in this county, when ' the excitement measurably subsided. I Several telegrams inquiring for particulars passed over the wires between this place and Willshire. In this manner it was transmitted to Richmond, where the most absurd and sensational special was manufactured for the Cincinnati papers imaginable; sensational and untruthful not only us to the rumored outrage, but the people and their religion had to be commented on, together with a description of the coun- ! try, such as only existed in the imagination of the author of the special dis patch. One word of inquiry from this place would have contradicted the en tire affair two hours after it reached here, and iu ample time to have given a truthful statement to their readers. This was not what they desired; they prefered the sensational. It was published to the world as a fact, when the managers knew it was false or had the means of knowing by using the wires. The Cincinnati Enquirer sent a special correspondent here the day following, and for two days kept the readers of that paper in suspense and used this i false rumor under a pretence of inves- ' tigating the matter fully to prolong the sensation, and create an additional demand for the paper. Their own special correspondent tit this place informed them of the falsity of the rumor, but they did not permit one word to appear in their columns.

The special correspondent at this place, Mr. A. F. Simpson, wrote in our office and at our desk, an indignant letter to his paper, the Enquirer, protesting against the suppression of his true statement of the case. He received two letters in reply, one from the manager and one from the proprietors, saying they had credited him with the message and wonld pay for it—that his work as a correspondent is highly appreciated, but that owing to a lack of prompt delivery of the mails his message was not published. This statement is made so that the public may give credit where credit is due, and judge of the reliability of special dispatches, measured by the one in question. The Origin of the Emily Numbers’ Story.

Who was the hero of the false story of the Emily Numbers’ outrage is the question that has been on the lips of our people sines the occurrence? 1 1:is question we propose to answer. Some three or four weeks ago, several parties were together at Salem, among whom was a stranger, a tramp if you please, when they began telling blood curdling stories of the dime novel order and each one tried to tell a : more sensational story than the one i who preceded. The tramp told a story of the outrage, mutilation and minder of a young woman similar to the one reported in connection with Emily Numbers, almost identical with the story reported from Willshire to this place, except that he did not give name, time or place where it should have happened. The night before the rumored story reached M illshire, a , similar story telling party assembled i at Salem, among whom was Dan Shoej maker. Among other stories some one repeated the tramp s story. It so impressed Shoemaker as being such a good thing that he repeatedit at M illshire. but iu such a manner that it connected Emily’ Numbers with it. and it thus went over the country the great sensation of the hour. Circumstances have been such that we have not been able to see the parties who could throw : all the light upon the question desired, [ hut we have heard enough to become t satisfied our statement is substantially i true.

it is an outrage that Shoemaker: : should be prosecuted for. and be punished to the full extent of the law. — — > The License Question. There were four applications before the commissioners for license to retail intoxi eating liquors, in Pecatur. viz: Henry • . Biebeiich, Matthias Colcfiin, John VV. Klienhenz and John T B a goner. Recent developments in the liquor traffic has aroused consiler.tb’e opposition to indiscrim uaie licensing of parties, ns a consequence til of them have been resisted in their application. The application of John AV. Klienhenz was dismissed in consequence of insufli- - ency of petition. The three other cases stand for hearing tfridiy, upon a motion to dismiss application for insnfficency. In the Colch’n case there is additional motion for dismissal, on account of variation of discription bet eeu the application and the printed notice Remonstrances are on file also ag&mr Coiohiu and Wagoner, and it is understood there will also be one filed against Bieberich Stock Holders’ Aieeting.
