Good .itl/.en LeasueK Are living Ort :ii)i/.e(l All Over tlie Country. Following in the wake of the Good Citizens movement in New York and the Civic Federation in Chicago, Good Citizen Leagues are being organized in the smaller cities of this State and all over

the country. A league was organized in Franklin last Saturday night. R. V. Ditmars, well known in this city, was elected president, and one vice president from each church in the city. The purpose of the association is to assist the local authorities in ferreting out and punishing violators of law:—especially those who violate the laws relating to the sale of intoxicating liquors, gambling, the maintenance of houses of prostitution and the desecration of the Sabbath. Officers are frequently condemned for not enforcing laws, when the facts are, they have not the proper public sentiment behind them to sustain when they do perform their whole duty. Good Citizen Leagues are a good thing and will benefit any city. The laws as a rule are not properly enforced.

Holler Explosion at 3IcCordsville. Tuesday near noon the boiler in the elevator of J. P. and J. G. McCord, at McCordsville, blew up, completely demolishing the boiler, engine and engineroom. The loss is §400 or §500, but the gentlemeu are not regretting that, but are deeply and truly thankful tir.it no one was hurt. Both the gentlemen had been in the room just a few moments before, but fortunately had gone into the main elevator building in time to escape the disaster. The explosion was probably caused by the water getting too low in the boiler.
