7d.ott.LLg Uw »u.uU< cto V lilt. , Judge R. K. El-win and John W. Tyndall of this city were at Monroeville Saturday evening where they participated in the biggest democrat rally held in this part of the state this year. The Journal Gazette said: Oae of the greatest political meetings ever held in Allen count}’ outside of For Wayne was that [at Monroeville Saturday night. The democrats of the eastern pirt of the county gathered by thousands. and rein! reed by 190 from F r Wayne made up one of the finest rallies ever seen in this section. The town began tilling up early in the afternoon, and when the train arrived from Fort Wayne there was a reception committee of 1,000 men waiting. The Fort Wayne crowd was headed by 100 members of the Jefferson club, clad in the new uniforms, and they were given the place of honor in the parade which followed their arrival. The public meeting was held in Junior Order hall, which was by far too small to accommodate all who sought admittance. Over half the cr >wd was unable to get in. The speakers were Judge Eiward O'RourKe of Fort Wayne; Judge Richard Erwin, of Decatur, and the Hon. John Tyndall, of Decatur, the noimnee for joint senator for Allen and Adams counties. Judge Erwin spoke on national issues, devoting himself chiefly to a plea for a return to a constitutional government. He arraingned President R josevelt for his impetuous overriding of the constitution, and talked strongly again st the extravagances of the administration. Judge O'Rouke spoke on national andcounty issues. He advised all democrats to vote the straight ticket, and when he mentioned the names of the county nominees he was loudly applauded. When he sn ike of gr. Reichelderfer. and the nominee for sheriff, a ringing cheer went up, and that gentleman was fairly overwhelmed with the roar of applause. Mr. Tyndall made a very able address on state questions, talking principally on the question of economy. He pledged himself to assist in the enactment of measures beneficial to the people and in harmony with the tenets of good government. He promised to do all in his power to put an end to the wasteful extravagance that has been running riot in the state for several years past. It was a most encouraging meeting and pl linly showed the temper of the voters of the eastern townships.

The C. & E. after Clover Leaf Toledo. 0., Oct., 3.—Negotiations are now pending whereby the Clover Leaf may be sold within the next two weeks. More than this, it will be a spot cash deal, and at •such figures as to net a nioe sum for the present owners who came into possession of the r< ad Jess than a year ago. The foregoing information comes from a source high in authority, and it is not published as a mere rumor. It is a farther fact, however, that neither side in the negotiations has oommittea itself, so that the whole matter may he called off at any time. The chances are however.Jhat the road will be sold. The only mystery about the negotiations is the identity of the woulu-be purchaser, but there are reasons to believe that it is the Erie railroad, which, as is well known, has had an eye'on the property for a long time. One thing is certain: There will be no merger of the Clover Leaf with any other system. It will be a sale for cash. In the meantime the Clover Leaf is going right ahead with improvements of its roadbed and additions to its rolling stock. Bids are now in for ten big freight ■engines of the 84-ton ten-wheel type. These bids will be considered .this afternoon and the contract will probably be awarded early next week The locomotives will be 20 per cent heavier than any of the motive power now in use on the Clover Leaf. The company has just awarded the contract for twenty cabooses to the American Car and Foundry company. The statement of earnings and operating expenses for the month of August 1904 as compared with the corresponding month of 1903, was given out today. It makes by far the best showing for any single month in the history of the road Notwithstanding that an unusually large amount was expended during the month for relaying of main track, building siding and making other imrovements* the net surplus is over <69,000 or an increase of over <27,000. No other railroad property in the United States is making so good a showing at this time.

Ltnlifiea the Goods. The Lima Ohio, News says: A deputy prosecuting attorney and Mr. Baumgartner of the firm of Baumgartner Bros., hardware merchants of Berne, Ind , were here Saturday to identify the burglar who was captured here Monday. It be will remembered that D-tec-tive Hugh Patton and Officer Kelly arrested a fellow who was selling cutlery on the. public square at ridiculously low prices. W hen searched a quantity of razors and cutlery were found on his person. He was arraigned on a charge of carrying concealed weapons and bound over to the common pkas court so that he could be held as it was thought that he had robbed a hardware store somewhere. The police department got into communication with several towns and finally found that the store of Baumgartner Bros., of Berne had been broken into last Sunday night and a quantity of razors, etc., stolen. This morning one of the firm and the prosecutor arrived from the Indiana town and identified the stolen goods as the stuff that was taken from the Baumgartner store. They also identified Carpenter, the man whom the police are holding. They stated that he hit the town about ten days ago on the tramp and that he secured work there. Sunday night the store was robbed and he skipped out. It is suspected that he was not alone in the job and it is thought that local talent from Berne helped him in the work. Ou. the War Path. A fierce and all around Irish fight occurred last evening in Chari *s Murray's saloon, when A. Tubman and a number of his interurban workmen got mixed up in a bout that wound up in a fist fight that has not been equalled here in years. All had been drinking heavily and were intoxicated, and were joshing and jollying each other when one of the men made a remark that Mr. Tubman did not like, and he proceeded to clean up the place, and from all appearances he succeeded very well, as about half the time he had all his workmen on the floor beating and kicking them unmercifully. Mr. Murray in the mean time tried to quiet the rioters and had partially succeeded when two of the other men got to fighting among tnemselves, as the result of which Murray threw the two on the sidewalk where he allowed them to fight it out. While the men were thus fighting a number of outsiders took pity on the under dog and seperated the men. A riot call for the police had in the meantime been sent in. and Emil Franz, of Berne, took it in hand to assist the police, and took charge of one of the men, but citizens demanded the release of the man, which Mr. Franz did. Immediately after the release of the prisoner the police arrived, but the bird had flown Notice to the Public. Cataract and all diseases of the eyes cured without an operatihn by Dr G Thain.
