George Maddy made a business trip ' to Bluffton today. Eugene Runyon of Berne, was a < business calier to our city today. ! Did you ever hear of any man who . wasn’t tellng you what a lot of philanthropic stunts he 'would be doing if ; he had a lot of money? Miss Kelley of Geneva, passed ■ through our city today, en route to i Bluffton While here she was the J guest of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Whit- ■ comb. ~ A New York judge has rendered the . opinion that It is no crime to hug a’’ girl on a doorstep. Without touching ' upon the legality of the operation there ■ are men who will cling to the opinion , that it is exceedingly dangerously if ' the girl’s father happens to be large and husky. While hauling some material along the interurban line this morning in one of the newly fitted cars, the same became stuck about two miles out, ; caused by the ice that had accumulated on the trolley. Several of the Westinghouse men went to the rescue and soon had the car running again. The display window of D. M. Hensley the jeweler now causes almost any citizen or stranger to stop and take a look, as he has it filled with _ reptiles, fowls and small animals that haunt the local communty. The work of stuffing all these animals was done., Mr .Hensley, and speaks volumes concerning his ability. Samuel Acker returned today from Fort Wayne where he was visiting ■ with his wife, who is confined in the Hope hospital. He reports her as being much improved, and will soon be so that she can be brought home for care and treatment. This will no, doubt prove very good news to her many friends. The Elks yesterday ordered their new paraphernalia, which became necessary owing to a recent act. of the Grand Lodge which remodeled and reconstructed a large part of the old work The new outfit should arrive in a short time and will at once be put into working order and tried on the next candidate. One thing particularly seems likely to make the sixty-fifth session of the : general assembly of Indiana notworthy, and that is the amount of rail- . road legislation that will be proposed. Bills of all kinds and all descriptions , will be dropped into the legislative mills, and the railroads, should all the bills be passed, would find themt selves leading very circumspect existences. Marshal Green last evening, picked up two young fellows and placed them in jail on a charge of vagrancy. They were arraigned before Mayor Coffee this morning and after telling a pitiful tale, they were ordered to get out of town as fast as possible. The boys looked honest enough, but seemed to be up against a run of tough luck. The mayor’s action is to be commended as he thus saved the county several extra board bills, and as the young men had harmed no one they were entitled to their liberty.

Tom Miller was officially informed today that the auditor of the road would be in this city on the 18th, to check him up, preparatory to sending him to Bluffton as agent of the same road. Mr. Dull of Malinta., €>., who comes to this place, will be checked up on the 17th and Mr. Fletcher, the retiring agent at Bluffton, will be checked up on the 16th. Mr. Miller is ready to change his domicile and is now anxiously awaiting the arrival of the auditor, so that he may be able to settle up and get settled in his new home at Bluffton. A minister of Fulton. Kansas, was moved by the grief of a husband whose wife was to be burled and sought to commiserate him in the following manner: “My brother, I know that this is a great grief that has overtaken you, and though you are compelled to mourn the loss of this one who was your companion and partner in life, I would console you with the assurance that there is another who sympathizes with you and longs to embrace you in the arms of unfailing love.” To this the ’ reaved man replied by asking as he gazed through tears into the minister's face, “What’s her name’” —Ex. The home of Mrs. Nancy Kennedy, ne • Spencerville, burned to the gro I Saturday morning. The only occ... -its of the house were Mrs. Kennery who is very ill, and her little niec . about 12 years of age. The flam t started in the attic, and when they were discovered the little girl, barefooted and clad only in her nightgown, ran to the home of her father, Mr. Wasson, a quarter of a mile away, to notify him of the tire. He succeeded in rescuing his sister from the burning house, but she is in a critical condition from the shock. The house and contents were entirely consumed.

Smith of Montpelier, has purchased the practice and business of the late Dr. Younge of Fort Wayne, and is moving the business to Montpelier. The sale was made by Dr. Lawrence Younge, a son of the de- ' ceased, who is closing up his father’s estate, expecting to return to his practice at Louisville, Ky. Dr. Smith is a former Huntington county young man, his mother still living east of the fair grounds. He and Mrs. Younge are brother and sister. —Huntington Herald. A recent decision of the court of appeals at Kansas City will be of interest to the fruit and produce trade. It was in substance that a railroad in its capacity as a common carrier is obliged to accept freight for shipment and be responsible therefor regardless of any plea it maymake that it is not in a position to carry the same. In this case a shipper asked to have a hog transported from one point to another, but the road <re- | fused it on the ground that it was already overloaded with business. The court did not concur in its view, holding that the road must accept business whether it wishes to or not.

A wreck was narrowly averted on the Clover Leaf Saturday night, when No. 41 a freight, bound westward, was stopped within two car lengths cf a switch engine. Some of the trainmen jumped, expecting the two engines would come together. The yard engine had been at Michaelsviile about three miles west of Marion. No. 41 was to have been held in Marion until the switch engine had come to the yards. An error evidently was made for No. 41 fulled on through the yards and was near Thirtieth street, on an up grade when the switch engine came into view The emergency brakes were set and the trainmen began hurriedly to unload—Marion News-Tribune.

1 "At last!” exclaimed the foreign statesman and man of letters, as he stood on the deck of the ocean steamship and gazed with kindling eye at the busy mart of commerce that lay almost at his feet. "Within an hour the dream of my life will be realized, and I shall stand on the shore of America, the land of the free, the home of the brave, and the hope of the world.” Within an hour, however, he was standing before a red-nosed, glassyeyed inspector and indignantly denying that he was an anarchist, a pauper, a cc -lie laborer, a bigamist, a thief, a murderer or a fugitive from justice.
