Stoll says in the South j Bend Tinies: The inference of the [ genial editor of the Kendallville Sun i that the Times would prefer Tom i Taggart to Colonel Bryan for national chairman is fully warranted. Haromny is the one thing needI ful in the next year’s contest, and : our Tom stands for harmony with both feet, while the Nebraska editor is constantly exhibiting his war paint. These, Brother C’onoogue, are the whys and the wherefore. A NEW LINE. A Railway Item That is Somewhat Interesting. A corps of engineers are at work between Pittsburg and New York surveying the route of railroad which is to parallel the Pennsylvania lines for a great distance, but which will be the shorter between the two cities named by 73 miles. Just who is at the head of this road is not known definitely but the work is generally thouhgt, by railroad officials, to be under the direction of the Goulds, whose chief interests are ■ centered in the Wabash road. It. has long been known that it is the aim of its directors to make the Wabash one of the leading trunk lines of the continent and their recent invasion of Pittsburg and the work of the surveying parties between that ; lace and New York is beleived to be the extending of that line to the seashore. When this is accomplished the Gould system will be able to compete without handicap with the Pennsylvania and a breaking of a now much enjoyed monopoly will be the result. BIRTHDAY PARTY. G. W. Calderwood Four Score Years and Eight. Grandpa G. W. Calderwood was eighty eight years old yesterday and the event was celebrated by a big dinner at the old homesead twelve miles south of this city.

We leg to acknowlege receipt of a plate of palatable cake asarememberance of the occasion. Mr. Calder wood is the oldetst citizen of his part of the county and a pioneer of Indiana.

HAS AN OLD ONE John Brock Has a Book Printed in 1762. Volume of Chippendale on the Furniture Then Used by the Wealthy. One of the oldest books in Indiana and a very valuable one too is a volume owned by Uncle John Brock of this city and published in 1762. It has been the property of Mr. Brock for over forty years, he having purchased it in 1860 at Charleston, S. C., of an old hook merchant. It is a large volume published by Thomas Chipendale of St. Martins lane, London and contains 200 pages printed from copperplate and showing beautiful dosings of furniture, including chairs, stands, sofas, beds, book cabinets, pipe organs, in fact everything in the line. All are beautiful,'as Chippendales name in those days meant the best and his goods were used by kings, noblemen and only the rich. The designs are very much like the furniture now in use though apparently more beautiful. The book was sold at a fancy price and not j given away as our catalogues now days. It also contains description of the different kinds of architecture then in style, they being the Tuscan, Dorick, lonick Corinthian and Camposite. The big volume is well preserved and Uncle John prizes it very highly. UNLUCKY CLUB. Their Regular Session a Pleasant One. The Hon Ton or Unlucky Club met with a full quota of members present at the home of M iss Muyine Voglewede on Fourth street, and as is the custom of these young ladies the regular evening's enjoyment was gone through. Predo was installed as the favorite game and Miss Bertha Deininger and Miss Clara Lange were considered the lucky members as they captured first prizes, while Rose Tonnellier and Gertrude Bremmerkamp were compelled to console themselves with the boobies. During the progress of the evening s entertainment a fine four course lunch was served of which all heartily partook and at the eleventh hour the girl s adjourned to mi'et nnxt Tuesday evening at the home of Miss Rose Fullenkamp.
