Rev. Thos. Stabler, the new pastor of the M. E. church, preached two very acceptable sermons there last Sunday. Mr. Stabler's family, consisting of his wife and two daughters, Misses Mary and Edetb, arrived here Tuesday from Richmond, and are now about established at the M. E parsonage. We congratulate the M. E. church on their new pastor. He is an earnest, able, scholarly and eloquent minister, one that will please his congregation and all others who may hear him. His family is also quite an acquisition to our city. From an acquaintanceship begun twelve years ago at Noblesville, we can very cordially commend Dr. Stabler and his family to all of our people.

Mr. H. broke his left leg about six weeks ago, but it is getting in good shape now, and he is ready for a race.

We understand that Coleman Pope, of Brandy wine Tp., offered any one who would pay his taxes, the wool off his flock of 73 sheep, with no takers. With Democrats controlling the government the price of wool is low, and with Democrats controlling this State and Hancock county taxes are very high. Why not change all along the line?

Carried off and Kavished.—The Iirute Still at Large,
Tuesday night, about 8 o'clock, Rosa Shane, not quite 13 years old, was playing on Baldwin St., alone, as her Stepsister had just gone to the house, when she says a man approached her from the rear, threw a cloth over her head and placed a gag in her mouth, so that she could not cry out. She was then dragged and carried to the creek bottoms, over a quarter of a mile away and her person outraged three times. About 11 o'clock the beast took the covering from her head, the gag from her mouth and ran when she started for home screaming. The entire neighborhood had been aroused by this time and search of two hours by the frantic father, Frank Shane, had failed to find her until she was released. The girl was bruised considerable, but not as much as would be expected. Dr. Ekogart, was called in and the girl is recovering from her fright and shock, but such things are horrible to contemplate, and no pains should be spared to find the fiend, and then let him be punished adeqately, if such a thing is possible.
Superintendent Pollard Hurt at the Paper Mill.
Tuesday morning, General Manager, C. F. Allen and Supt. E. Pollard were trying to re-adjust the large calendars in which the straw is boiled, when the man in charge, without seeing Mr. Pollard, started the machinery apd Mr. P., who was working with a lever was struck in the side hurled into the air over the shafting and his head struck the brick wall, knocking him insensibie, and the lever then came oyer and hitting his head inflicted a scalp wound. Dr. Bruner was called, dressed the wound and brought him around alright. He is doing nicely now and will be about as usual in a day or two. Mr. Allen was not hurt as the machinery, where he was working was not started. It is indeed fortunate the ac cident was no worse. We congratulate Mr. P. on his speedy recovery, for he is one of the nicest men in the state, a gentleman in every particular.
.Fatal Farm Fire Near Wilkinson,
[Special to The Indianapolis News. WILKINSON, April 18.—Last evening

Archer, of Fountaintown were crossing the railroad bridge over Brandywine, they were overtaken by a train, taking their only chance they jumped into the creek below, about 14 feet.
