Locals. Court convenes Monday. Decatur has two brass bands. Jim Place has a new soda fountain. Farmers are planting corn this week. Can’t our bands give open air concerts. . The weather is warm and dry—too dry for wheat. A female book agent has been working Decatur this Week. John Bowers’ "Zulu” dog has suffered an untimely death. A brilliant wedding in the north end, it is rumored, will soon take place. The 4th of July, with or without a celebration, as our people elect, will soon be here. There was a large crowd of people in attendance at the Catholie church on Ascension day. The Knights of Pythias cornet band have re organized with Frank Schirmeyer as teacher. Ilariss & Cross have bought out the grocery establishment of U. S. Wi-e and will continue the business as Heretofore. The Horton corn planter and washing machine company aregoing to leave Bluffton for Fort Wayne and enlarge their business. Circuit court convenes Monday, May 14th. The clerk and sheriff hare been busy with the notes of preparation, during the past week. Fruit trees have been in bloom the past week. This is the critical time for fruit, once passed over in safety, there will be a large crop. The returns of thecity election were not published last week because we were unable to get a peep at the official returns when wanted. A loud cry comes up from the alleys in the shape of a perfume that makes dogs leave a tan-yard, which says in so many words clean up and disinfect. Visitors are always welcome at the public schools. Parents should make it a point to visit the school occasionally as an encouragement to the children. Mart. J. Huffman sent us a copy of the Chatanooga Daily Democrat. That paper speaks of shipping strawberries to "God’s country,” where sugar is plenty. Marshal Maloney and Treasurer Brciuerkamp arc a committee on sidewalks. They were around last week hunting for poor walks and notifying people of the fact. Orders to engineers on the C. & A. railroad require them to cut trains at road crossings in Decatur when trains are required to wait on the track at such crossings. Taylor & Sons’ great sale of buggies at Sheldon, May 18th, at 11 a. m. Timkins, Brewster, Phaetons, Side Bars and Spring Wagons. Terms: Cash, or six months appaoved note. There is work for all. If you do not believe it try to hire some one to do an odd job. Even the corner loafer has been impressed into and has yielded to the demand for muscular exertion. When you read in a paper that that paper gives all the news, the only witness to the statement will be the paper itself. All its readers who know best, will testify to the contrary. All there is of a boaster is his boasting. The winter gave the wheat a black eye. There will be a few good fields, and many that are near the turning point of being plowed up for a spring crop. Reports from farmers arc anything but enthusiastic over the wheat prospects. The Portland Sun reports an unsuccessful case of forgery in Jay county. Henry alias David Ingle attempted to dispose of a forged note purporting to have been executed by Mm. and Margaret Moore. He was captured and is held for trial. Last Sunday Henry Tonnellier and several other buys were “over the river” fooling with a target gun which was accidentally discharge!, severe.y injuring his left hand. These boys should remember that it is not always the “good boy” who dies young. Dick Townsend the popular host of the Burt House, entertained members of the local press at his hostelrie last Saturday. The bill of fate in addition to the usual joints contained a full line of fresh vegetables and the dessert Was completed with an elegant dish of strawberry short cake W e spread Ourselves for the occasion, intending to enjoy a “square meat' and do justice to Dick’s spread, but for once, that hollow lath of a fellow Lou Corbin, of the Journal was such a terror in getting away with what was set before him, that we could not and did not do justice to the table. It was not our fault though, Dick, or yours either.

Jacob Neff, of Chester township, Wells county, while pushing a rifle through a fence, preparatory to climbing over, discharged the same, the bullet passing through his head, killing him instantly. At least a half a dozen cases of tramps tooling about dwelling houses at a late hour of the night have been reported at this office during the week On several occasions they were pre sistent in their efforts to enter. They should be bounced unceremoniously. A Warren girl who has been playing fast and loose with a couple of young men for the last two years, returned to her first love just in time to escape marrying the second. It was a tweedle dee and dum case, in which tweedle dec won, she couldn’t tell why. Lost—a doo.—On Saturday afternoon, in the city of Decatur: had white and black spots, bushy tail, and had a eg broken. The finder will confer a favor by leaving the same at Henry Voglewede’s shoe store. Henry Blakey. A gang of gypsies have been hanging on the outskirts of Decatur, during last week. One of them is a negro who claims to be the husband of one of the gypsie lasses, and who talks German with all the grace and guttural intonation of a native born. The fellow is one of the seven wonders -to Garret Berling. John Mcibers had several valuable sheep killed by dogs a short time since. At least S2OO worth of sheep have been killed in this county within the last three months by dogs. It is a noticeable fact that the farmers who suffer these losses are not admirers of poor Tray, when Tray tramps around without a master. Last Sunday Henry Hite turned his horse into bis lot for the purpose of giving him exercise. His little boy Hugh, aged two years, attempted to play horse with the animal, and for that purposed seized a stick and struck the beast upon the hind legs. The boy fell from the force of the blow just as the heels of the horse passed skyward over the prostrate form. The little fellow had a narrow escape. Our Geneva correspondent touched up Uncle Johnny McGriff, of this place, a short time since,by remarking that Uncle Tommy Callahan watched him very closely on his recent visit to that place. Byway of explanation, it is only necessary to remark that Callahan is very afraid that McGriff will not “beware of the vidders,” when he comes to Geneva ; and there is strong probability of its being a case of vice versa. Evening promanades are very fashionable at the present time, especially among young people. While open air exercise is conducive to health, it should be practiced with a reasonable regard to surroundings In some cases reasonable fears are to be entertained that these late promanades upon the part of young girls may be the wreck of their moral lives if continued, however innocent they may be when first starting out. The Sunday sehool concert held at the Presbyterian church of this city, was a grand success in securing pennies for the Sunday school. The concert consisted of music and recitations, all of which were well rendered. The house was filled to overflowing on Friday night, notwithstanding the rain. Tuesday evening the concert was repeated to a full house. The financial result of the “jug" concert was fiftynine dollars and thirty cents, and a few “jugs” not heard from. Decoration day comes on apace. Sam | Henry Post G- A. R. in connection I with a committee of citizens selected at a public meeting of our citizens have the matter in charge. We sincerely hope our citizens will interest themselves sufficiently to aid the undertaking, so that it will reflect honorably and creditably upon both citizens and old soldiers. If this is done it will be a profitable day to all concerned in the revival of pleasant memories of 1861-5 and of those who yielded up their lives in that great struggle. Wednesday night of last week a spark from the smuke stack of Gideon s saw mill set fire to an old log in the mill yard. It was discovered, and as was thought, extinguished. The fire had extended under a pile of lumber which was resting on a portion of the log, and during the fore part of the night was communicated to the lumber, and resulted in the burning of some 7,000 feet of lumber, and a desperate fight to save the remainder containing a like amount The mill was also in danger for a time. The Wabash Courier of last week j gave the News of Ft. Wayne a lusty , kick for the gratuitous insult to the [ rural press gang of this state, in regard to the reporter’s stand at League park. , It would have been in much better | taste for the Aewit to have waited for just cause for complaint. So far as > the newspaper men of this place are concerned, they have been frequent patrons of the game of base ball at Fort Wayne, last season as well as this, always paid their way, and are under no obligations to the .Yews or the base ball management of Fort Wayne for “comps’’ or any other favors. The zVewi men would have people believe that he is a blue blooded “imperialist, when the offensive paragraph proclaims him in unmistakable terms a newspaper dude. I

1 e old folks concert at the M. E. ch r:h Wednesday night was a succes in attendance and abounded in pleasing incidents and old time reminders. Some of the leading features of the concert was Mrs. Cath and Ed. Albers and Mrs. Jacob Shafer’s hymn sang in German; Mrs. D. Studabaker, in old-time costume, recited “Ninety i Years Ago;’’ Mrs. Jenny Phelfs, “Our New Church Organ. A large number of elderly people took part in the concert, singing old-fashioned hymns lined by the pastor, There were, also, several other pieces sung by the younger people. It was a pleasant occasion and was enjoyed by all. We do not often go to Geneva; Tuesday was an exception. Farmers were busy along the line of road sowing oats, planting and getting ready to plant. Wheat, though spotted, looked better than we had expected, judging from what we had heard. The ground is in splendid condition for sowing and planting, never saw it mellower. Geneva seems to be growing. There are no large, over-grown business rooms, but Line street, for some two squares is compactly built up and occupied with shops and business of some kind. A glance as we passed indicated good stocks of goods on hand, with every indication of business. The grading and graveling of Line street was a success. It lacks but one thing now: the gutter should be curbed. This was a glance and a few things of what we saw. Calling on Wifi Reed, he was elected our guide to the gravel pit.' where they dig out Indian bones, of i which more hereafter. On returning we learned that the Geneva base ball club and the Geneva “Scrubs” were having a game, which we took in for fifteen or twenty minutes The “scrubs” had the field and were likely to keep it, as some twenty-five scores were made on that inning and only one man out when we bad to leave to catch the train. Personals. Mrs. Byron Dent is dangerously ill. Mrs. Jas. Stoops, sen., is seriously ill. Frank Schirmeyer was at Van Wert, Friday. Mr, and Mrs. Dr. Freeman were at Fort Wayne, Monday. Thomas Mickle is suffering with dropsy of the stomach. Miss Ella Schirmeyer returned home from Van Wert, Tuesday. Ada Dorwin returned from a visit to friends in Ohio, last Saturday. I. C. King with several other Van Wert boys Sundayed in the city. . Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Reynolds paid Fort Wayne a flying visit Monday. Mrs. D. Studabaker entertained a number of ladies at dinner Saturday. Mrs. Will Vesey,of Ft, Wayne, spent Sunday in the city, the guest of her parents. Little Jonnie, son of George McConnell, has been very sick for the past week Will Reed, of Geneva, was in Deeatur, Saturday, and called at the Democrat office. A. R. Bell is in Chicago. He went for the purpose of purchasing a hack for his livery. I. D. Nuttman, one of Fort Wayne’s most thorough business men was in the city on Tuesday. The Misses Mary and Amelia Niblie and Jess Allison spent Sunday with friends in Bluffton. Mr. John Feltman, agent for Drifmeycr’s Cigars, Richmond, Ind., was in the city Tuesday. Mr. Jas. Mclntosh, of Chicago, was shaking hands with his many friends in our city last week. Mrs. Judge Combs and daughter Alice were the guests of Judge Studabaker s family last week. Freeman Galbreath, of this city, will shortly be married to a handsome young lady of Bourbon, Ind. A. W McW. Bollman is boasting of the biggest and handsomest girl that ever came to town, just like its mamma Mr. Clarence J. Reynolds, who has been attending school at Prinoeton, New Jersey, is expected home to-mor-row, on a short visit with his parents. Mr. and Mrs. Jim Place, Maggie Townsend, Jess Donell and Chas. Speucer heard “Fritz and Lena”at the Academy at Ft. Wayne; Thursday night New Railroad. Articles of incorporation of the Atlantic and Pacific railway were filed at Indianapolis, April 30. It is proposed that the new road shall run from the Ohio state line at the southeast corner of Union township, Adams county, running thence west through the counties of Adams, Wells, Huntington, Grant, Howard, Tipton, Clinton. Boone (via Thorntown), Montgomery, Fountain and Vermillion. The capital stock is fixed .»t $200,000. The directors are John Higgins, John M. Boyd P. A. Huffman, Rich. Neptune, J. C. Ferber, G. M. Wilds aud Samuel Harding. Jas. IL Cobb takes $198,850 of the stock. What system of railroads it is intended as a part, and what the probabilities of its construction are, we have no means of knowing. The point where it leaves the state of Ohio is directly east of this place, favorable for its construction through Deca- ’ tur. I

Local Insurance Rates. In response to the call of the local Board of Underwriters of this place, J. S. Bennett, who is the principal factor in determining the rates of insurance for this section, visited Decatur again last week. He refused to accede to the demands of the local board in modifying rates, in accordance with their views, but consented to a change in a few cases. The rates will be printed and placed in the hands of our local board in a few days. They will be of interest to all who are interested in the mercantile risks of this city, from the fact that they will govern the rates at which future risks will be taken, and from which there will be no departure, unless companies outside of the insurance pool can be induced to take the risks at a lower rate. A singular incident occurred during Mr. Bennett’s visit. In discussing the rate of John King, jr.’s Carriage Manufactory, Mr. Bennett and Paul Hooper walked around to the rear of the buildings for the purpose of taking observations. As they did so, they found a nice blaze in a pile of bark that was thrown against a pile of lumber, which in turn connected with some out buildings of the factory. It was discovered just in time to prevent a disastrous fire. On the one hand, our merchants protest that the rates fixed by Mr. Bennett are excessive ; on the other hand the companies assert that they did business at a loss last season. While this might be true as to some ot the companies, for a lime, yet in a decade of years the old rate would yield them a handsome revenue. All solvent insurance companies are increasing their capital and surplus from year to year, and since the Chicago tire the stockholders of none of the companies have been called upon to pay assessments. As was indicated in a previous number of the Democrat, we believe the increased rate oppressive and unnecessary in view of the burning of wooden row last fall, and the tearing down of wooden ware houses on the east side of Second street and replacing them with brick. Roads and Factories. There has been no new developments of gravel deposits in this section, although there has been considerable prospecting done. Pikes will have to be built of broken stone taken from the river. At least that seems to be the conclusion at present. One thing js certain, there is any quantity of stone in the bed of the St. Marys, but what the minimum cost of quarrying it is, and the difference between the cost of gravel and broken stone, taking into account the difference in their lasting qualities, are questions The Democrat is not prepared to answer. If stone is not too expensive, measures should at once be set on foot to build roads of it in different directions lead ing from this place. There is but one tiling that would benefit us more than this, and that is the location of manufactories in our midst. In this direction however, there is nothing in immediate prospective. A Valuable Calf. Jacob Teiter recently commenced an action before Justice Fetters, of Jefferson township, for the recovery of a calf from Peter Aumiller. It was a case of mistaken identity; both men claimed the calf; Aumiller had possession and had marked the calf with his mark. The trial before the justice was interesting enough to run up SBO, costs, saying nothing of the attorney's fees. Teiter, before the justice, was adjudged the owner of the calf. Aume ler was not satisfied with the decision and has appealed. The calf may be s t down as at least a hundred dollar calf at this time, with a reasonable probability of doubling its value in a very short time, and it is not a Jersey calf either.

Base Ball. “Such a game” said everybody who witnessedit. We mean the game between the Decatur's and Monmouth’s Saturday. Beth teams had substitutes; both teams lacked practice. Their hands were soft, their actions clumsy in catching and throwing. It was the poorest game we ever saw on the ground, played by those who pretend to play. The scene stood at the close 24 to 16 in favor of the Decatur’s. notes. Both teams were weak in catcher and pitcher. Cal Kunkle, of the Monmouth’s is a good first baseman. practice is recommended co both sides. John Walters will never make a League umpire. Saturday the Pleasant Mills boys will play the Decatur's at Decatur. The ball ground need some attention before they are tit to play upon. The boys will play a better game tomorrow. A WOMAN’S EXPERIENCE. _ Mothers and Daughters should feel alarmed when weariness constantly oppress them, “If lam fretful from exhaustion of vital powers and the color is fading from my face, Parker's Ginger Tonic, gives quick relief- It builds me up and drives away pain with wonderful certainty.”—Buffalo lady.

Trial of John M. Tonnellier. The trial of John M. Tonnellier, the eldest of the two brothers, who with the father were indicted, charged with the murder of Ex-Sheriff David King, was concluded this week in the Wells circuit court before Judge Bobo. Most of our readers are familiar with the story, a full account of which was published in The Democrat at the time it occurred. Most of the material facts in the case were either developed before the Coroner's inquest or on the preliminary examination. The only material difference in the testimony is from the three defendants, who each testified that King had wrested the poker from t he elder Tonnellier and had it poised over him in the act of striking, when the sons each rushed in and delivered successively the fatal blows. Including the deceased, there were nine persons in the saloon. The story of the Tonnelliers in this respect was contradicted by the five witnesses for the State who were present. Their testimony was that the elder Tonnellier and King were struggling for the possession of the poker, which both held in their grasp at the time the fatal blows were given. The case was given to the jury Monday night. Failing to agree, they were discharged at 12 m., Thursday. The result is the case will stand with the others for hearing at the special term of the court, to be held in July, next. Soldiers Reunion. At a meeting of the resident ex-vet-eraas of the 47th Regiment Ind. Vol s, at North Manchester, Ind., April 25th, 1883, for the purpose of making arrangements for a re union of the exsoldiers of said Regiment, Capt. C. B. Rager was chosen chairman, and B. F. Clemens secretary. On motion of Capt. J. R. allace, the following resolution was adopted : Resolved, That there be a Re-un-ion of the ex members of the 47th Regiment of lud.

On motion they adjourned to meet on call of the President. Capt. C. B. Rager, Ch’n. B.F. Clemens, Secretary. City Council. The city Council reorganized Tuesday night, Mayor Merryman retiring in a neat little speech, in which he was followed by the Mayor elect, B. 11. Dent, io a brief inaugural. The following committees were appointed. Judiciary Committee —Henry Stetler, George Patterson, and H. Voglewede. Finance Committee—Jesse Niblick, D. O. Jackson and Henry Stetlcr.

The bouldering and curbing of the south end of Second street to its intersection with Winchester street and the boulderingof the latter street to the Narrow Guage depot was then agreed upon and notice for sealed proposals for constructing the same ordered. Circuit Court. Circuit Court convenes Monday. The civil docket contains forty five new cases, and three new state eases. The criminal d ocket contains three cases of forgery, among which is that of A. F. Simpson, and the rape case of Moses S. Moore, enough to occupy the attention of the court for several days, if tried at this term. It has been supposed that Simpson would ask for a change of venue in his case which would carry the case over. His local counsel, however, claim that they will not ask for a change of venue, and that the ease will be beard at this term, unless compelled to ask for a continuance in consequence of witness for the I defense not being able to attend.

There will be preaching every Sunday morning and evening except on the second Sunday in each month, which Sunday I will spend in Berne. J, M. Dustman.
