His friends cele■brated the occasion by a social gatherBing at his residence and left him sevBeral souviners in remembrance of the levant. I Mr. Lumsden got the steam-shovel 4to work in the gravel pit, five miles ■east of this place last week, and from 4jhis time forward will bo working with Sall his force ballasting the track as fast a- laid. I The Decaturs met with their second ■defeat Tuesday at the hands of the ■Blue Belts of Paulding, by a score of ’’’ll 9 to 24. Heavy batting carried the ■visitors through. Another game is ■talked of. I Last week, Jesse Mann, accompa■aied by his father Justin Mann and Sbrother-in-lav- Marion Elzey and wife, ■left for Chicago. Jessie to remain and take a course of msdical lectures ■during the fall and winter, i Since the fire the new locations of ■business houses are hard to find. Al■most every day persons are inquiring, ■and have to be directed to this house ■or that. A little judicious advertising ■in this direction would be beneficial. j The weather for the past week has ■been favorable for sowing wheat, which ■ the farmers have been improving. ■There is a growing disposition among / among farmers to sow later than usu■al, to avoid the ravages of the Hes.8 an fly. ■ James Edington returned home ■fiom his prospecting tour in the west. ■He did not secure a location; thinks ■business over done, and is of the opinion that there are better locations to ■be had in Indiana than west of the ■Mississippi. I A marriage contract has been enterSed into between Miss Kitttie Worden, ■formerly of this place, now of Pulaski, I 0.. and F. E. Wenzel, of South Bend, ■lndiana, The wedding will take place Tat Pulaski, at the residence cf Enoch Cox, on the 12th of October. It is about time there was a re-or-ganization of the Adams county AgriJcultural Society. This is something Khat should be attended to, so that ample time will be had for the largest and most successful fair ever held in the county next year. E The several cases of Scarlet fever, which was noted some two weeks 3? since in town and country have passed and the probability is that no other children were infected, though several were exposed before the virulent character of the disease was known. i E. H. Corbin’s rotary engine, 8 made at Dayton, 0., was received at this place this week. The engine has .been patented and the patent is owned by a stock company of this place. It performed to the satisfaction of the patentee when tested at the shop where ///built. Mr. Corbin expects his rotary engine will make a rev olution in the ■use of steam. It is very simple in its ■construction, can be built at much less expense than the ordinary cylinder cnll/gine, and is expected to double, at S least, the amount of power in proportion to steam used of the ordinary engine. If Mr. Corbin’s ideas are correct, the company have a fortune in the investment.

A few weeks since, two men working for Samuel Smith, of Wabash township, while clearing the brush off less than an acre of ground in a single afternoon killed forty-two rattle snakes. The rattle snake oil man should have been there to secure the oil. This is a big snake story, but it comes to The Democrat with the best authentication. Samuel D. Crist, eldest son of Elias Crist, of Washington township, attained his majority last Friday. The event was celebrated by father and mother giving the young man a surprise party. Somewhere between forty and fifty of his associates assembled on the occasion. The surprise was genuine, and the party a pleasant one. B. I*. Rice and Nimrod Dailey have opened considerable stone quarries in the St. Marys below town. Both have a good large surface stripped, and have steam power to pump and hoist the stone by tramways. They are getting out a large amount of rock at present, of fair quality for building purposes, and employing a considerable number of hands. This is another of our permanent industries that will help build up Decatur, by furnishing employment to labor, and at the same time furnish good material for building purposes at reasonable prices.

Chicago and Atlantic R. R. The first passenger coach over the Chicago & Atlantic railway made a trip Friday from Chicago to North Jackson, Ind., and return The party, in a Wabash, St. Louis & Pacific passenger coach, drawn by a Western Indiana engine, left the depot at Twelfth street at 8:30 a. m., and proceeded over the Western Indiana Belt Line tracks, .passing through Englewood, South Chicago, and Cummings, to the State line. The road is 250 miles in length, extending from Chicago to Marion, Ohio, at which point it connects with the New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio railroad. From this point the route is over the latter road to Salamanaca, N. Y., 304 miles, where it connects with the Erie, thence over the Erie 432 miles to New York city, making the total distance by this route from Chicago to New York 986 miles. The 250 miles of the road are divided into five divisions, with headquarters as follows: First division, Marion, Ohio; second, Lima, Ohio; third, Hunt- i ington, Indiana; fourth, Rochester, Indiana; fifth, Crown Point, Indiana. The general officers of the company are located at pret ent at Lima, Ohio. The road is graded over the entire distance, and the track is also laid with the exception of some seventy miles at different points along the lino. The longest stretches of uncompleted track are between Judson and Rochester, Huntington and Decatur, and Decatur and Lima. Twenty- .re engines, seven steam shovels, and 600 cars are now engaged upon the construction of the road. The rails are sixty-pound steel rails, from the Edgar Thompson steel rail works, and are jointed with the standard railway joint of improved pattern. Twenty-five locomotives are in the shops of the Brook’s locomotive works, Dunkirk, New York, nearly; ready for delivery, and an extensive I passenger equipment is being built at ' Wilmington, Del.

Fire Improvements. W. Sholty, Mrs. M. Bremcrkamp, hn Meibers and T. T. Dorwin have repaired the damage done to the fronts f their buildings the night of the fire. Dorwin has put in plate glass, which is a decided improvement. W. G. Spencer has let the floor of his business room down to the level common to the other business rooms on the west side of Second street and will put in a plate glass front. The Delks’ and I. 0. 0. F. buildings will be repaired as soon as the plate glass arrives. Tuesday morning the Shaffer Bros, commenced laying the foundation for their business rooms. Jonathan Houston is getting the material on the ground to build two business rooms early in the spring. George Luckey is getting material delivered with a purpose of building three business rooms in the burnt district early in the spring. The Circus. The Van Amburg show appeared yesterday afternoon to a big audience, but the one in the evening was a great deal larger. Additional seats were placed in the test and all were filled. The circus performance wasgiven in one ring and the audience was not compelled to watch two or three acts at one time. The performance throughout received the closest attention of the audience and the good acts were roundly applauded. The best performance was that of Ajax, the contortionist. He is a wonderful actor and is said to be] one of the best in the profession. The trapeze acts of the Maynards were very fine, and Miss Maynard was also seen in a clever role of wire walking. The riders were Miss Annie Carroll and Mr. Lorwy, the former doing a pad and the latter a bare b. ck act in good style. Other acts worthy of special mention were as follows: Bar performance of Thorpe and La Rose, Charvatt in light and heavy balancing, Galager, equilibrist, Sam McFlynn, with the dancing ladder, and the performance of the Indians. The act of the savages were very thrilling and it brought back the recollections of the dime novel. Many boys in the audience yelled with delight when they saw the guns fired and the scalps lifted. They were something like those given by Buffalo Bill in his hall show, and blood ran deep. During the act Marquise, a young Indian, gave a wonderful exhibition of horsemanship. The Indians performance closed the main entertainment and it was followed by a very clever concert. The music with the circus deserves a passing notice The band is fine and they played the latest music last evening, including parts of Patience and other operas. This circus has no rough characters with it and the actors are gentlemanly. No games of chance were seen on the ground yesterday and the best of order prevailed.—Lancaster Intelligencer, August 30. EDITORIAL MOTES. The Smith-Gleason Joint Debate. As previously announced the joint debate, between John M. Smith and Rev. M. M. Gleason, democratic and republican candidates for Senatorial honors in the district composed of the counties of Adams, Blackford and Jay, commenced at the Court House, Thursday night. The debate was continued Friday night at Pleasant Mills, and Saturday night at Berne. The joint i debate will be continued in three places in Jay and Blackford where it will terminate. Rev. Gleason led off the debate in a eulogy of the Republican party from its advent into power down to the present in some glittering generalities. He closed by saying he was proud of the achievements of his party and as he did not make any exceptions, it includes those Credit Mobellier operations; their giving away about oneeighth of the public lands to corporations; the whiskey rings; the presidential theft, the Star Route thieves and the quarrels over the official spoils that resulted in the assassination of Garfield, the purchasing of voters by bribery through Jay Hubbell assessments, etc. Prohibition was his theme. He claimed the Republican party was the ehampion of prohibition; he claimed also that “they agreed,” but who “they” were he failed to say, to submit the proposed constitutional amendments, with a view of eliminating the issues involved from politics. As if, the people could divide upon a question that they would decide by ballot, without making issues political or otherwise, and then blamed the Democratic party for making it what he termed a political issue. The sophistry of the argument is collossal. John M. Smith followed in a logical argument, showing that the aims and purposes of the Republican party as exhibited in their legislation was to make the rich richer and the pocr poor- . er, as seen in their grants of lands to railroad corporations in their high protective tariff which had built up and . enriched a thousand great corporations . at the expense of the consumer; in i legislation that was dictated by banks I and brokers and had enriched them to ■ carry out which; while pretending to claim a fair ballot and an honest co unt, they were bribing and corrupting the voters of the country with money stolen and contributed by whiskey rings, bloated corporations and political asI sessments. In closing Rev. Gleason endorsed i the Jay Hubbell assessments as right.

| The gush, and stories was with Gleason; the argument with Smith. That was the verdict cf the masses. The Democrats of this district need have no fears of their flag trailing in the dust when Smith and Gleason meet. Republicans nowhere can meet the unanswerable argument of fraud, corruption and ill adviesed legislation of the party Had we not one of the richest and most prolific countries, with countless resources, the nation and the people would have been bankrupt by Republican legislation. POLITICAL BLACK HAIL. Rut. M. M. Glennon Eiidoraeo the Jay Hubbell AsMCHHinentn. The National Republican party through Jay Hubbell, one of their members, have assessed the 100,009 office holders of their party with two per cent of their salaries, the amount thus raised to be paid into the treasurey of the party for campaign purposes. In other words to corrupt the ballot box as Dorsey did two years ago. A part of the Dorsey money found its way to this town. The leaders of the party approached Democrats in this town, offered them money to vote the Republican ticket, which was refused. Afterward they conferred with Democrats, who advised them to pretend to accept the proposition and when the bargain was consumated expose it. Meanwhile those Republicans who made the proposition became alarmed, fearing the trap set for them and gave up the job. In other portions of Indiana they were more successful. This is what the Jay Hubbell assessments means; it means the corrupt use of money at the polls to ena ble the Republicans to carry the election by fraud. The whiskey ring of which the convicted McDonSld ct al and pardoned by Grant, was one of the leaders, manufactured crooked whiskey, or whiskey put upon the market fraudulently, without paying the government license, which license the government was defrauded of was clear profit to the ring. This profit they retained part and part contribute the corruption fund of the party. Later the Star Route thieves did the same thing by fraudulent contracts to carry the mails. A portion of the the money thus raised D<srsey sent to Indiana, some of which was in the hands of the leaders of the party in this town as in dicated above. This assessment is made also in defiance of the sixth section of the Legislative, Executive and Judicial appropriation bill of June 30, 1877, which reads as follows: ■That all Executive officers or employes of the Uuited States not appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate, are prohibited from requesting, giving to, or receiving from any other officer or employe of the Government any money or property, or other thing of' value, for political purposes: and any such officer or employe who shall offend against the provisions of this section shall be at once discharged from the service of the United States; and shall also be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof shall be find in a sum not exceeding $500.”

Rev. Gleason has placed himself in the attitude of endorsing an assessment for political and corrupt purposes in defiance of ,law. In other words fraud and corruption at the ballot box is right if that fraud and corruption is in behalf of and to elect the Republican ticket. He stands almost alone in this respect. Few, if any of the Republican candidates have had the cheek to endorse the Hubbell assessments. Are these some of the achievements of the party he feels proud of? When men like Rev. Gleason endorse such measures, is it not time for honest men of both parties to call a halt before they support a man with such views, willing nay, anxious that they should accomplish the results in the way and manner indicated. Every dealer in cigars praises his brands to be the best in the market. Some have the idea that cigars made in distant cities must be superior to the home made. This is entirely a false idea, and will never be adopted by smokers who are able to form a fair judgement from their own experience. Try the new and improved Brands at my cigar store and be your own judge. I have also on hand a good assortment of fine smoking Tobaccoes Cigarette, Fine-Cut and Plug chewing, Pipes etc. No. 22, ts.
