Another Railroad.
The Ohio Falls and Northwestern Narrow gauge Bailway Company filed articles of association, yesterday, in the Secretary of State’s office. The company proposes to build a road running from Ohio Falls northwest through Clark, Floyd, Washington. Orange, Martin, Daviess, Green, Clay. Parke, Fountain, Warren, Benton. Newton, Jasper, Porter and Lake counties, thence to Chicago. The total distance in this State is 820 miles. The capital stock is $6,000,000. The directors are Enoch Lookhart, W. H Irwin, B. N. Barbour, Samuel Cleaver, Frank E. Clarkson. J. J. Brown. G. W. Gault, O. Barfield, J. T. Stout, Alj exander Worrall and T. B. Buskirk, all of Louisville.—-Indianapolis Journal.
Section 59, page 250, acts of 1881, provide that “the Clerk, by order of the Court, if in session, or in vacation, without such order, shall cause a notice of the pendency of any action. and the term at which the same shall stand for trial, to be published for three weeks successively, in some newspaper of general circulation, MAMED BY the PLAINTIFF OB HIS attorney, printed in the English language* and published in the county,” etc. This, no doubt, Includes non-resident aotices, sheriff’s sales, as well as publications required of guardians, ad. ministrators and commissioners. This Is no more than right And we would suggest to plaintiffs in causes ter to devote some attention to this matter, and give their attorneys to understand that they have preferences. We have known many instances heretofore where attorneys have dis-* regarded and failed to consult the Wishes of their clients In this respect]
In the fight over the Lynchburg | Postmaster case in the Senate, ti • rather day, Mr. Johnson read a tele- > gram* giving an extract from the Peoria Transcript, containing a description of Wilson’s wound, and the fact that his.pame is enrolled on the Peoria monument as among the honored dead. The dispatch says that in the battle before Vicksburg, under Gran’, Wilson was shot through the forehead and another minnie ball passed through his shoulder. His comrades left aim for dead, but the Rebels found him and nursed him to recovery. His left eye was destroyed and his left shoulder paralyzed. Anotner telegram from Lynchburg says Wilson is indorsed by all the business men there. . And this is the man radical senators are fiercely rtriving to dis' place, to make way for an ex rebel soldier, at the dictation of Mahone ( and in fulfillment ot the bargain made with him.
Campbell & Farden’s for Boo's A Shoes, Gents Furnishing Goods. Hats, Caps and Gloves. Opposite the Nowels House. Arthur has an exasperating time getting up bis cabinet. His appoint menu of Ifolger and James are un derstood to be temporary, .to meet exigencies, and contemplate Conkling lor the treasury and other stalwarts in the remaining places. He makes haste slowly in the face of .be November elections. Those fine dress, and Frenrh Cashmere skirts are to be purchased, cheaper than elsewhere, at Campbell & Farden’s - opposite the Nowels House.
Recalling the early history of At-torney-General Wayne McVeagh’s in duction into that position and the iterated and reiterated promises by and for him of the great things be was to do in bringing to justice those mammoth plunderers under Fraud Hayes’ administration the Star Rout e thieves, and comparing it with the unseemly haste he shows later to escape from the office and its responsibilities, we are reminded how uucer tain a Republican white man is at the best. His fierce zeal was that of the neophyte tickled with his new possession but markedly wanting in sincerity and staying qualities --a case of great professions and little deeds. The next time he is so vaingloriously boosted in ;o prominence intelligent people will reserve their gush until there is some outcome to show for it. Perhaps the magic wands of fatherin law Simon and brother-ia-lawDon Cameron have worked a spell upon him.
Senator Warner Miller, of New York, has no time to aid the republican campaign exercises in New York, although of the half-breed order which elected him, but had time to help out the bosses in PhiladelphiaSo we go. The half-breeds plant but the stalwarts reap the increase. It will afford me great pleasure to have you call and examine the exten sive and select stock just opened out at my store. No trouble to show goods, even if you don’t buy. I cor dially invite everybody to call, exam, ine goods and ascertain prices. Ralph Fendig.
Another boss, but not in this country, Bismarck, hss been brought to grief in the recent elections. Even in Berlin his faction failed to elect a single member to the Beichstag. If he should come over to this country and go under instructions for a short time with Cameron, in Pennsylvania he could learn a thing or two about reversing majorities. But perhaps the genuine Teuton wouldn’t submit as tamely te the roasting as the halfshelled dutchmen in Pennsylvania.
Headquarters for Bubber Goods, Hip Boots, Knee Boots, Ladies’ Boots, Misses Boots, Arctic Sandels, Sewed Excludes and Alaska Overshoes, at Campbell & Farden’s, Opposite the Nowels House, . The Senate has thrown upon Arthur the removal of a badly crippled Union soldier as postmaster with a view to flill his place with a Mahone ex-rebel. To the Democratic Senators, however, belong the credit. Republican members, to a man, favored the ex-confederate and repudiator. An extensive and choice selection of Clothing, good in quality, low in price, just opened out, at Fendig’s.
The following may not be wholly inapplicable to the case of Guiteau, ana will, perhaps, assist the Jury in making up their verdict Lord Broxfield, a Scotch judge, once said to a culprit who had pleaded his own cause very eloquently, “You are a very clever fellow, mon, but I’m thinking ye wad be none the worse for a bit o’ hanging ”
A large and varied assortment ot Hats and Caps, Boots and Shoes, for the fall and winter trade. Cail and see for yourselves. Ralph Fendig. Capt. Henry Snyder, who resumed last week from the Southwest, met with an adventure during his absence which will doubtless result in bringing a dangerous criminal to justice. Wm. Green, who committed a murder at Young America last summer, disappeared after the vile deed was done and 'hereafter successfully evaded arrest though diligently sought after by the Cais county authorities. Green was a resident of th s locality for a time prior to his removal to Cass Oiunty and was known to many <f our citizens, among them Cap*, Snyder, who by accident became instrumental in his arrest. On the 16th iust.. while standing near the track of the Memphis & Little Rock railroad at a little place in St. Francis county. Snyder noticed two men who had ti e appearance of tramps, walking along the railroad, and instantlv recognized one of them as the murderer, Green. As It was eight miles to Palestine, iLe county seat, it was concluded best by those to whom the matter was explained, to arrost the fugitive without waiting for the officers. The men were tt once pursued and soon ove.» hauled. Capt. Snyder made the arrest and held the man until the Sheriff of St. Francis county was notified vnd relieved him of theuharge.in the meantime telegraphing Sheriff Snyner, of Cass county, of what bad transpired. The prisoner denied being Green, asserting that his name was Faulks and that in company with bis brother he was en route to Texas. Failing to hear from the word sent to Cass county in due time the Arkansas Sheriff released the prisoner, but soon after received instructions to hold himjwith ; tiescription satisfying him that the man whom he had released waff . one wanted. Pursuit was again instituted, and the man retaken after u chase of sixteen miles. A deputy Sheriff, from Cass county, went to Arkansas and identifying the prisoner as the murderer Green, returned with him to Logansport last Monday where he now awaits trial. A reward of SSOO was offered for Green’s aoprehension by the Cass county authorities, which sum will doubtless be paid to Capt. Snyder, to whom it rightfully belongs.—Monticello Herald, Oct. 27th. Lots of Ladies’Dreas Goods. Cash, meres, etc., handsome m style, extra in quality, and lower in price than any over heretofore offered in this market. Call and see, at Ralph Fendig’s.
