Parsons, of the Monou News, after denouncing for weeks past a numberiof the nominees on the White county Democratic ticket, announces that he will in the I near future establish a Democratic paper in Monticello We suggest to Parsons that he is too overly zea ous. The mission of all such ventures may be set down to be in the interest of the Republican party. No true Democrat will en gage in such an enterprise, and we think he will have to depend mainlv upon the opposition for support. As a rule there is not room in one county for two papors of the same political faith We turn Mr. Parsons over to the tender mercy of our old friend Rothrock.

CORONER’S VERDICT. State of Indiana, j „„ Jasper County, j : Be it remembered that on the thirtieth day of August, 1892, information was given me that the dead bodies of a man and woman were at the Railroad depot, at Rensselaer, in said county and state, and that they were supposed to have come to their deaths by violence or casualty; anil to ascertain so far as possible, the cause and circumstances of their deaths, witnesses were called and their sworn statements were reduced tu writing, properly signed and filed in the office of the county clerk. This evidence is somewhat conflicting, owing, no doubt, to the considerable distance some of the witnesses were from the scene of the tragedy. I have care fully weighed the testimony. Wherefore I find decedents names to he Kuicely Bennett and Emeline Bennett, his wife, and that they came to their death by being knocked from the track of the L. N. A. & C. Railroad, at a crossing one half ,mile east of the town of Rensselaer, by a locomotive in rapid motion. I also find that the engineer, Thomas E. Kline, did all that it was possible for him to do under the circumstances to prevent the loss of life, and that no blame can be attached to the Railroad company. Rial P. Benjamin, Coroner Jasper Co.
