The season of slipriness is not entirely over with. The demand for snow far exceeds the supply hereabouts. Jack was in the box Tuesday night, but the Marshall let him out. Seibold's orchestra discoursed excellent music for the dance last night. The next term of the circuit court commences Monday, February 26 th. Prof. Kinsey has made an enviable reputation here as a musical director. The Odd Fellow’s Band is improving rapidly. Decatur should be proud of it. There is another stray blizzard with icy breath, wandering around these parts. Os thirty teachers examined for license in Allen county, only ten succeeded. The thermometer has considerable trouble to regulate the weather this week. • . The saw-mill men rejoice. Their yards are filled with logs, and still they come. Quite a crowd of young folks attended the roller skating rink at Van Wert Friday night. The Baptist folks at Pleasant Mills arc yet holding out with their protracted meeting. The January thaw will come later this season. This is not a prediction of Venor and is reliable. There will be three base ball leagues in the field next season The NationAmerican and North Western. The saw mills aye blockaded with logs, the result of good roads, and the upwatd tendency in the price of lumber. There is no need of any locks on stable doors hereabouts. There has not been a hotse stolen for a long time. The U. B. Church, of Geneva, will be dedicated to the worship of God, Sunday, February 11th, by Bishop Weaver. The protracted meeting at the Evangelical church still continues, without any signs of closing. It will be continued indefinitely. A crowd of our young peop.c had quite a jolly time at the residence of Mr. Geeorg Kintz, two miles from town on Friday night last. Some of our young bloods seem to be totally unacquainted with the late revision. Hades is not emphatic enough to suit their notions. Miss Princess L. Clark, who created such a furore by her solo singing at Island Park Assembly, last summer, will sing at the M. E. Church to night. Next Monday and Tuesday evenings the St. Aloysious Club will give an entertainment of several comedys, full of fun at the St. Joseph school house hall. The sleighing has been hanging on the "ragged edge” of dissolution for several days, and there is no reliable weather prophet near to forecast the result. Sunday was a very quiet day. It was comparatively a day of rest for liwry teams. There was hardly eutugii snow tor sleighing, but the wheeling was splendid. the ladies of this place have not as many house plants as they had prior to the advent of the ‘ cold wave. Alter ail the care bestowed upon them, it is provoking to have them frozen. They have our sympathy. Boys seems to enjoy ‘•catching on to eltighs and taking a ride. The return tiip is the most dangerous. Several we noticed if late who stood on theiy Leads for a time after jumping off . it is dangerous business sometimes. At Decatur Thursday, Ed. Ilolswoith, the night baggage man on the Pitklutg, in this city, was licensed to marry Miss Mary Smith. Mr. Holsworth was accompanied to Decatur by Heiman Sit wa< night ticket agent, who went out on a sleighing expedition with a bevy of admiring Adams county females. — tort Way nt Sentinel.

The business men of Bluffton have been uufoir.'.mrte...during the past year. Dr. Marshall, of Dr. cine Company is one of our prominent men at this time. Give him a call. _ Look out for tires this cold weather. The fire fiend would be unpleasant to tackle these cold mornings, and the ounce of pies ent ion tits the case exactly. Constable Coffee and Fred Myers have the rejutationof being the greatest “argufyers 'in this country. At s least, that is what we heard a native remark. The concert tonight which closes the Musical Institute at the i M. E Church, irouiises to be a grand affair, and no lover of music j should fail to attend. Decatur lias just harvested the larg- . cst crop of ice ever put up. The indications now are that our people will have ice enough to keep things eool during the hot season. ( The remains of George Scheyerling, who was buried some years since at this place were exhumed. Tuesday, and removed to Chicago, where most of the family now reside. Hart’s mill was shut down Saturday in order to connect and place their new machinery in proper position. The mill will not be ready for business until between three or four weeks. Hillyard and Quinn are canvassing this county as agents for the Rochester, N. Y. nurseries. They cau furnish you anything in the way of fruit and ornamental trees or shrubbery you may desire. . It is claimed to be a stand-off between the Sheriff and Coroner. Both succeeded in getting their men The Sheriff, however, thinks it hardly a fair eomparison, as his man was alive and the other dead. Some one gave a dog belong to Win. . G. Sponeer sen., cold poison last week. It would not be healthy for the man who did it if Wm. could only find out. Mean is not half mean enough to describe such an act. The price of hops is ’ hopping up, and will soon be beyond the reach of brewers for making beer. Do not be alarmed, however, for some other hopping stuff will be substituted in the place of the genuine hop. Rev. Blaney, the Evangelist will continue his meetings at the Christian church until Sunday night at least. At the close of the service Monday night three persons were baptized by immersion in the baptistery in the church. The English sparrows during the cold weather scattered over town, roosting in the evergreen shrubbery. They arc noticed foraging in every direction, and seem to make themselves at home wherever there is anything to eat. Somebody lost some blood Mondaynight. At least there was considera ble showed up on the ice at the crossing of Second and Monroe streets, and quite a plain trail marking the course of departure. The remainder of the story is ail conjecture. Paul G. Hooper sold situated bttwen Madison and Jefferson streets on the West side of Ffth street, last Saturday at public auction. The purchasers and prices are as follows: No 107, to IV. Bice, $500; 168, J. D. Hale, $520; 169, to John Eitiug, $530. An Irishman was spoiling for a ’ fight Tuesday night. Wedui sday morning one eye was in deep mourning i and several patches of sticking plaster concealed gltshes in his features. He was probably Successful in finding what he was looking; for. judging byappearances. Rev. A. J. Reynolds. Pastor of the Presbyterian Church, of this place, commenced a scries of lectures la.-. . Sabbath evening, on Bunyon s -Pilgrim’s Progress,” to be continued every Sabbath evening for several weeks to come. Judging from the initial discourse, these lectures will be very in- , teresting, and well worth going to hear. Local notices and advertisements intended for The Democrat should t be banded in as early in the week as , possible to secure their insertion. About one column and a half of matter of this kind came to this office, Thursday- last, some of it in the after- ' noon, most of which had to go over, , but which could have been provided ■ for had it been received earlier in the f week. And most of that which c vne ’ ’to us. could have been sent in Monday ’ or Tuesday just as well as Thursday. I.

A let’cr from Indianapolis and one from Pleasant Mills, camo too late for iuseftpiD title week. A little Marshal put, in appearance at Marshal Maloneys’ Wednesday. It made Robert very happy. Bids for building the Luckey Opera House, were opened yesterday after The Democrat went to press. There will be a Teachers meeting at the county superintendent’s office to-morrow. A good time is expected. The Breuierkamp-Eititig wedding took place at the Catholic Church yesterday, and the banquet in the evening, as previously announced. A large party of married folks went to Van Wert last Friday. They took the Marshal along to keep them straight. He had a larger contract than he bargained foi. Personals. Mr. Conrad Brake is on the sick list. Ed. Burris, of Indianapolis, was in Decatur on Monday. Gid Shaw, jr., of Winchester, was in our city Monday evening. Dave Shafer left for his home at South Bend, Monday evening. Charlie Wert, of Geneva, was visiting relatives in the city this week. O.

Miss Jessie Allison entertained a few of her friends Tuesday evening in honor of Gid Shaw, jr., of Winchester Mr. Jas. Mclntosch who has been in our city for past year, interested in the C. & A. railroad, left for Chicago, Thursday night. Dr. Fresler, of Ft. Wayne, and Dr. C A. Jelleff, of thisplace, were in consultation Tuesday, in the case of Mr Albert Barthel, who is dangerously ill. A Mr. Mills, of DeKalb County, 0., has bought the interest of James Edington in Hite & Edington’s grocery, lie is expected to take possession, Monday. Misses Etta Meibom, Maggie Smith, and Ed. and Chas. Ehinger, attended the wedding of their cousin, Miss Weiblcr, at Ft. Wayne, Tuesday. Misses Mate Furgerson and Ida Roebuck, who have been the guests of Mrs. Nellie Sholty for the past two weeks returned to their home at Delphos, Ohio, on Saturday last. Reduction of Bail. A. F. Simpson charged with forgery i was brought before Judge Hencb. Monday, and the bail reduced to one J thousand dollars, which tailing to give he was returned to his old quarters. Prosecuting Attorney France, who was present and represented the State, was of the opinion that the defendants attorneys made the application with a view of getting the prisoner released in consequence of some int rniality in the commitment. This, however, was corrected, making it impossible to secure his release as expected, anl practically left the defendant in the same ■ position he was prior to the appliestion. Though the amount of his bail has been reduced, it will avail nothing, as the defendant will he unable topresent an acceptable bond, and will prob ably remain in his present quarters until Circuit Court convenes.

Kailroad, 'I he Kcmainn i Mysteriously Bi si j»rc«u aud Found Attain. t Munday morning at 6:30, the con a struction train on the 0. & A. railroai r containing the surfacing working par ty, who arc engaged in raising tbt , track and tamping the gravel as fas B as delivered on the track started east About nine miles from this place tin , train stopped for the men to go ti ’ work. After they had left tho train the engineer commenced backing the train as usual, to clear the track foi the working party. James Allen, who had been discharged from the company’s employ the Saturday previous, was on the train and got fl with the working party and stalled east on the track. When the train commenced backing and when within about fifteen feet of him, running ' slowly, he was sharply warned to leave the track, by W. N. Leyman, the timekeeper of the working party, who was in the rear caboose of the train. lie i paid no attention to the warning but continued on bis way. When the train was within three or tcur feet of him he commenced tinning around, but before he could comprehend the situation, the draw bar of the caboose struck him and knocked him under the train, which passed entirely over him, fatally injuring him so that he died within half an hour. The engineer was notified that something was wrong, but it was too late to save the unfoilunate man’s life. The dying man. as the men rushed to his assist ance.said, for God’s sake pick me up. He was asked if he had any friends but made no reply, and was immediately taken to the caboose, when the question was repeated, but met with no response. He asked to be raised up, which were his last words. The train started for this place, but he died when in sight of town, about one half hour after being injured. His remains were turned ever to Coroner John E. Smith, who h-Id an inquest If. Gauss. engineer of the train, W. N. Leyman, time keeper, of the working party and Wm, Markle, who was one of the the first to reach the injured man testified before the Coroner. From their testimony the above was compiled for The Democrat. The verdict of the Coroner was that the deeeased came to his death “by being knocked down and killed by a construction train on Chicago & Atlantic railroad, without fault or negligence of said Company.” After the inquest one of the dead man’s comrades who had known him, however, but a few days, said that he had to speak to him several times to call his attention; and was certain that he was partly deaf, and this defect in his hearing undoubtedly cust him his life. He also claimed to this comrade ito be of Scotch decent. The deceased had no friends or relatives that could be ascertained. The only thing upon his person in addition to his clothing wtmt calf pocket book, which contained a business card of tho Germania House, Dayton, on the back of which was written ‘•Robert Kelly, Dayton, 0.” It contained also a piece of poetry clipped from a newspaper which we copy: TH it Eli iriilD3. Thera arc Hine hssons 1 wouM write, Three word« as wi:h a burning pen, In tracings <’f e'eiual light, Upon the lieans of men. ■ Have hope! Though clouds env.ron round, And gladness bides tier face in acorn, 'Tn hon Ihe shadow from thy brow; bo Bight but bath its taorn. ; Have faith! H'here'er thy bark is driven, The calm’s disport, tho tempesi B mirth, i Know this: Hod ru'K n the hosts of heaven, i be inliabitnnts of earth. 1 Have love! Not love alor.e for ‘ ne. lut num as man, ihy brother call, And scatter like the circling sun, Thy charities on all. 1 Thue grave th.se lessons on thy soul.— Hope, faith and love,—and thou ebalt find, ’ Strength when life’s stirses rudest roil, Light when thou else were blind. Sl lltl.l Kt The working party voluntarily contributed a sum sufficient to purchase a respectable suit of clothes, that the ; dead man might be buried decently, i They also instructed the undertaker, ! Mr. Yager, to use the hearse to convey the remains to the grave and made arrangements with him to pay the i ° expense. The remains were left over nicht at ' ’ the Court TTousc*, where the* inquest was held, hut when morning came they Were missing. And up to the ; the time of writing, no clue to the I rqrpetfa/"tt df,. tile theft has been 1 | diicovAs/i.

The remains were taken charge of by the Coroner |( j and buried the same day. r _ NOTES. e The Doctors were at once accused it of the theft. Dr. Holloway spokest. man for them, did not swear that it e was not so, but denied in the most o I emphatic manner, the connection of i, i the physicians with the missing man, e : and counter charged the Court House Hiring, claiming they were always aci, cused of stealing ui.d now it was a e clear case —proven. Sheriff McGriff says it’is very easy '"1 ’ for a live man to get away from an d | officer— referring to the Simpson case II — but lie never before heard of a dead 11 i man gelling away irom an officer who 8 | had served a life time. Dau Donovan is authority for saying Irishmen are in good demand, dead or alive. e . Some of the working party are of the opinion that the Coroner would f have another inquest to hold if they could find out who carried off the ’ stiff. Tiii.
