The Board of Directors of the Stilesville Cemetery meet on the first Saturday in August, and the Board requests all citizens who are interested in the Cemetery to meet with them and look after the welfare of the grounds, etc. Mrs. Sims, mother of Mrs. H. C. Allen, of this city, died at the family residence in Delphi, Ind., on July 9, of heart disease. Mrs. Allen was summoned to her bedside by telegraph, but failed to arrive before her mother’s death. Mr. H. C. Allen and Mr. J. P. Allen and wife went to Delphi, on Monday, to attend the funeral. Willis Mark, who is driving O’Daniel’s sorrel trotter at Forest Home stock farm, was badly injured last week. He had hitched the horse to the sulky to give him some work, when the animal began kicking and plunging, striking Mark several times in the breast. Though badly injured, Mark hung on to the horse until assistance arrived. He is re [ported getting ' «• .

The irrepressible dude very early in life Falls in love with each maiden he sees. In fact, he no sooner gets down on his lip Than he’s apt to get down on his knees. All members of Co. I that intend going to the Encampment at Terre Haute on Friday, July 21, must be at drill on Tuesday evening, as knapsacks are to be given out so that members may take them home to pack such articles of wearing apparel and furnishings as will be needed in camp. A larger attendance at camp is promised this year than last. Let Company I make a good showing. On Monday night an attempt was made by theives to break into the residence of Mrs. Maggie Matthews. The thieves tried to force one ot the front windows; Miss Bartlett, who is lodging there, was awakened by the noise, and gave the alarm, frightening the theives away. As frequently remarked, Greencastle pays largely for police service not really needed during the day, and at night the city is wide open for the benefit of such prowlers and theives as desire to take advantage thereof.

Cooper on the Sherman Bill. Hon. George W. Cooper has been called upon to outline his position in relation to the Sherman Bill, and leaves no question as to his ideas on the subject in the following language: The Sherman law passed the house July 12, 1S90. I voted against its passage. There has not been a day since it passed that I was not ready to vote for its repeal. It is fallacious in principal and vicious in practice. Under this law the government is compelled to buy M,000,000 ounces of silver annu-

ally at the market price, and nay for it in legal tender treasury notes, redeemable iu gold or silver at the option of the holder. The ob-

ject of the law was to provide a market for the surplus silver by making the government an enforced purchaser and thus maintain, if possible, the parity of the metals at the existing ratio, We see how it has utterly failed. Silver is cheaper than ever ami the government will lose about $11,000,000 on the stock stored in the treasury vaults. The law was in the line of paternal legislation which has cursed the republic and oppressed the people every time it has been attempted. There is no reason why the government should buy and store silver that cannot be urged for the purchase of wheat and corn. Not only has this law caused us to lose, by making an unprofitable speculation in silver, but it lias naturally affected our credit abroaii. Capitalists holding investnisnts in this country, rightly doubting our ability to maintain indefinatly gold payment and fearing that we would come to a silver basis took alarm, and not only refused to further invest

but actually began to unload and get away. Thus money is withdrawn from the channels of trade and a stringency ensues, then loss of

confidence, and finally our money is locked up and our whole monetary system is in

state of congestion.

I have conversed with many representatives recently and I think it, is safe to say that the Sherman law will be promptly re- * ■■ -- —. . - „ w) ]

pealed. Of conrse the McKinley law'wfll be repealed, and thus two obnoxious and oppressive laws will be lifted from the hacks of

the people, and I predict that in less than twelvemonths prosperity will again be restored. It is not a little singular that in view

ngular that in view

of the fact that both the Sherman and McKinley laws are conceded to be the cause of distress. Republican politicians arc chuckling gleefully over the misfortune and disas-

ter they have wrought?

'A BKRiouS shooting affray occurred at Richmond and caused much excitement from the prominence of the parties. Hev. John N. Reaver, a divine and evangelist who has been in the religious work for years, shot four times at Thomas G. < >ray, one ball taking effect in the thigh and making a bad wound. The cause of the trouble is jealousy, Reaver believing that Gray was attempting to alienate the affections of his wife. A saloon building at Gas City owned by the Indianapolis lire wing Co., collapsed the other afternoon. The building was nearly completed. Two workmen engaged on the inside barely escaped being crushed in the ruins. Willard, the fourteen-year-old son of Thomas Nhidler, was swimming in Delaware lake, at Muncie, with a half dozen playmates, when he got beyond his depth and was drowned. His body was recovered after the lake had been raked for one hour. James Drummond, a pioneer of Laporte county, and one of the veterans of the Hlack Hawk war, is about to receive a pension in acknowledgment of services rendered. The pension will date from 18H2, and the money which has accumulated during this long lapse of time will make the pensioner the possessor of a comfortable fortune. Fouk boys were walking up the slopes of a coal mine near Kosedale when three empty cars rushed down and caught them. Joseph Crane, aged thirteen, was instantly killed: Otto Crogan, aged fourteen, received fatal injuries, and Rolla Crogan and Joe Blaeketer, aged eleven and thirteen, respectively, had bones broken. Milton Plilky, foreman of the straw department at the strawboard factory Gas City, dropped dead instantly while at work. He was a man of brawny stature and apparently good health, and only an autopsy could throw any light on the cause of his death, which came from heart disease. Rev. J. A. HaNI’KRT, an aged Lutheran minister, died at Evansville, a few days since, the result of a stroke of paralysis. He had preached there continually for 47 years, and his congregation numbers 1,000 souls. He is well known in Lutheran circles all over this country and Europe. He was 71 years

of age.

The Hehrrm bank muddle is at an end. A committee of the depositors met with Zimri Dwiggins and secured a settlement. Dwiggins is to pay #1,000 a month until the amount is paid. Editor J. K. Rush was instantly killed and his wife seriously injured in a runaway at Noblesville. An only daughter, who was with them, escaped

injury.

A post-office has been established at Cornelius, Brown county, and Samuel F. Long appointed postmaster. Joe Hill, a colored paper-hanger, and wife, of Shclbyville, have had numerous quarrels, and are now lixdng separately. The other afternoon Hill paid his wife a visit at her mother's house, when they had another fight. The mother joined in and struck him on the head with an ax, injuring him seriously. Pensions have been granted the fol-lowing-named Indianians: Original— Michael E. Hricker, Nathaniel Davis. Increase—James G. Ryan, Wm. Hines, Martin Wagner, John Cogle. Reissue— Samuel Burton. John Vore, Moses Powell, Christian C. Mikesell. Original Widows, etc.—Mary E. Lawwell, Phebe Jane Metzger, minors of David Hill, Harriet Uedgood, Nancy Zwygers, Ann Rebecca Dye (mother), Ellen Burris (mother), Mary E. Crosley, Evaline Nang, Mary Eisen, minor of Jacob Al-

bright.

As a result of the continuous stringency in the money market nearly 6.000 men employed in the various manufacturing industries of Indianapolis were thrown out of work the other day, and until relief is afforded as will enable the proprietors to resume business with the usual force. A majority of the manufacturers have a large amount of its manufactured products on hand, but the demand has fallen off in every class of business within the past month, and collections are so slow that many factories will close down, while others will continue, but

with reduced forces.

The other night a gang of horse thieves made a raid in Muncie and stole three valuable horses and three buggies. A stranger representing him' self to be a railroad man went to the home of Amos Richardson, near Hartford, and gave a small boy $2 to drive him to Muncie. When they arrived, the stranger skipped with the rig, leav-

During a heavy rain and hailstorm, at Hartford City, the other aftemoon, two lightning (lushes shocked a score of people, struck the Catholic church, J. P. A. Leonard’s house, Postmaster Gibbs’ house and a number of trees. The excitement amounted to almost a panic, and yet no one was seriously in-

jured.
