An Application Defeated at Galveston.
A SCHEME TO GET A LICENSE.
It Is Feared That Force Will Be Used to Prevent One Man From Continuing in the Business An Exciting Event at
Evansville Grocers Fail—Other Happenings Within the State. LOGAXSPORT, Ind., March 6.—Gal
veston residents are strongly arrayed against saloons. A short time since George Conn applied for a license, but the citizens succeeded in defeating the application. One saloon is still operated in the village by Enos Scott, and he gave out that he would close the saloon at the expiration of his license. The villagers were lulled into fancied security, but Scott inserted a notice of application for license in a German newspaper, not a copy of which circulates in Galveston.
Being published in the county, however, he had complied with the law, and his scheme to secure the coveted privilege of running a saloon was in a fair way to succeed, when C. O. Fenton, editor of the Logansport Times, a Prohibition organ, notified the villagers of the deception which was being practiced upon them. When they were brought to a realization of the situation, petitions were freely circulated and the names of nearly 200 remonstrants were secured. One hundred and fifteen dollars was also subscribed to figlit the case, and it is believed that force will be used to prevent the reopening of the place should the commissioners grant the license.
The success which attended the efforts of the Burlington citizens to prevent liquor traffic in that village has emboldened Galveston people. The Burlington saloon was twice blown up with dynamite, and once torn to pieces by an infuriated mob. The structure was rebuilt each time, and the last man who attempted to operate the saloon built a stockade around the building. Learning that a movement was on foot to blow the place up, he quietly vacated one night, and Burlington has been without a saloon ever since.
DOWN A PRECIPICE.
A Horse Plunges Dmvii a Steep Embankment at Evansville.
EVANSVILLE, Ind.,March 6.—To behold the wharf of this city, as it slopes from Main street to the river's edge, a distance of about 100 yards, and at an angle of about 45 degrees, and then to be told that a horse drawing a buggy, in which two ladies were seated, ran or almost plunged down this steep slope, and that the occupants of the vehicle escaped with their lives, sounds almost incredible, still such a thing happened here yesterday evening.
It was one of the most exciting accidents that ever occurred in this city. The two ladies, whose pleasant afternoon drive ended so disastrously, were Mrs. P. A Orlopp, wife of the manager of the Adams Express company of this city, and Mrs. H. Weintz, the wife of another prominent citizen. The horse was frightened

Main street, ran
about three or four squares and then seemed determined to plunge with the buggy and its occupants into the river, but when about half way down the slope, the two ladies gathered up enough courage to jump from the buggy, and the horse then turned sideways, stopping just at the water's edge. The two ladies were severely, but not dangerously, injured.
THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS.
A Fruit Grower Is Well Repaid For His Fidelity.
OHIO FALLS, Ind., March 6.—When Peter Piers, a prominent fruit grower of this county, courted the lady who is now his wife, several years ago, in this city, his brother-in-law, Robert Duncan, objected for unknown reasons, and, in insane rage, shot Piers in the head while he. was calling on his fiance.
Piers lost an eye, and lay long between life and death, but finally recovered, married Miss Dollie Bennett, the lady in question, and moved to his farm. Duncan had to pay $1,500 damages and serve two years in prison for his shooting. He was a well known master mechanic of the Ohio and Mississippi at the time. Yesterday the news came that Mrs. Piers' father had died in Wisconsin, leaving her a fortune of $30,000.

TO BENEFIT THE OLD SOLDIERS.
Proposed Changes to lie Made in the Present Pension Laws.
WASHINGTON, March G.—Senator Gallinger, chairman of the pensions committee, has introduced in the senate several bills bearing upon the pension laws.

Of the other bills one empowers fourth class postmasters to administer oaths to pensioners one that in pension cases the oath of a private shall have equal weight with the oath of an officer one that the failure of a soldier to receive an honorable discharge, providing there is
