Destroyed by Fire. On Sunday morning the house occupied by Mr. D. E. Roberts and family, on the farm of Mr. Lockridge, just west of this city, was destroyed by fire, together with a large portion of the household goods of Mr. Roberts. The loss is a serious one to the last named, and he has the spmpathy of many friends. Badly Injured. On Tuesday afternoon Frank Jones was badly hurt in South Greencastle, near the Harris Mill. He was driving a team, seated on a load of hay, when a strong gust of wind tossed part of the load forward on to the horses, conveying Jones with it. He fell beneath the horses feet, and was kicked in the neck by one of them; the wagon also ran over him and fractured two ribs besides inflicting many painful bruises and injuries about his person. Dr. Leatherman gave him surgical attention. Poisoned Ice Cream. On Friday evening the family of Mr. Sewell, who resides on Indiana street, partook of some ice cream, and not long afterward Mrs. Sewell and four daughters were taken very violently ill, with symptoms of poisoning. Dr. Leatherman was hastily summoned and he exerted all of his skill to alleviate their distress. For some time the ladies were in a precarious condition, but by hard labor on the part of the doctor they were placed out of danger. Their sickness is attributed to eating the ice cream, which is supposed to have contained

poison.

Dissolved Partnership. On Sunday night about 9 o’clock, the proprietors of the fruit stand and tinware store adjacent to the Western Union Telegraph Office had a misunderstanding ffi regard to the division of the week’s profits of their business. The proprietors consisted of a one-armed man and two Jews; the one-armed man objected to an equal division of the profits on the ground that lie had half the capital invested in the enterprise and furthermore he had done half of the labor. The one-armed man secured all of the money and when the Jews attempted to take it out of his pockets ho demonstrated a caninal disposition by biting them. Finally one of the Jews struck him with a piece of iron, giving him a terrible lick, but the cripple was plucky, and breaking away from them he made good his escape, taking the money but leaving the Jews in full possession of the store.

The residence on the farm of Mr. Harvey Wright, occupied by John Wright, in Madison township, together with the greater portion of the contents, was destroyed by fire, on Sunday morning. Most of the family were at church when the fire occurred. The loss is reported at about $1,600; insurance about $500. The fire is supposed to have originated from a spark falling on the roof. Taxpayer. A gentleman residing in Madison township has requested the insertion of a very lengthly communication, in which he opposes the purchase of the toll roads, and argues for the defeat of the proposition to purchase, to be voted upon at next Tuesday’s election. His argument is that the laws authorizing and governing the purchase are not equitable or just, in that taxpayers who are in no way benefitted by the roads under consideration, are assessed to pay for them just in the same proportion as taxpayers who are directly benefitted by the purchase. He also objects to the purchase of the east and west road because the appraisement of the property is too high—twice as high as the north south road, and double what the stock has been appraised and sold for. Lack of space prevents the publication of the communication in its entirety. WORK OF LIGHTNING. Frank Rogers and Children Pros-

trated.

On Tuesday afternoon, on the farm of Jacob Rogers, in Washington township, a serious accident befell Frank Rogers, Earthie and Stella, his daughters; and Gilbert, his son They were in the shed portion of the barn when the storm was on, and when lightning struck the roof ofthe barn, which is of steel, the electric fluid followed the steel to the eave of the shed and then jumped to the supporting posts, passing to the ground. The persons named above were all j)rostrated by the elect rical shock - Gilbert, the son, was in the most serious condition; when found he lay in a “coiled” position near the barn door, unconscious and almost pulseless; Frank Rogers, the father, and Stella, were rendered part'ally or wholly unconscious, and Stella and Gilbert were burned to some extent; Earthie, the other daughter, was also rendered unconscious. Frank Rogers first regained consciousness, and he secured nssistancc, sent for a doctor and had his injured children conveyed to the house. All but Gilbert were soon on the road to recovery; he remained in a critical condition for some time, but finally he regained consciousness and the power of speech it is hoped his recovery will be perfect and speedy.

the several boxes in the vicinity, greatly embarassing the department, but when they arrived at the fire, effective work saved the lower portion of the house, only the roof being burned. The damage caused by the lire is fully covered by insurance. Both Mr. and Mrs. Crannels were absent from home when the fire was discovered and the origin is a mystery. —Hazel, daughter of Isaiah Vermilion, is reported quite sick. A pleasant social was given, Monday night, in 1. O. O. F. hall, by the Daughters of Hebe kali. —Mrs. Bolton and daughter, of St. Paul, Minn., are visiting her brothers, H. C. and J. P. Allen. —Mr. Corneilouson and wife, of Richmond, Ky., are visiting her parents, John Detriok and wife. —Dr. Underwood is to occupy the new resdence being built by Jas. Taylor, on Seminary street. —Will Neff is going to resign his position in the city office of the Western Union Telegraph Company. —Asa Black and wife have gone to the World's Fair, and from thence they return to Wellington, Kan. —Large crowd at the Cioverdale picnic, but the management failed to fence out the gamblers and sharpers. —Capt. J. E. M. O’Hair went to Charlestown, Ills., Friday, to see his sister, who was recently stricken with paralysis. —Company I returned from Camp Matthews on Thursday night, somewhat browned by the sun, but otherwise in good shape. —Capt. H. B. Martin has been appointed to supervise and survey lands in California, the boundary lines of which are in dispute. —On Wednesday the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of College Ave. Church, picnic at the residence of K. L. O'Hair, Esq., near Brick Chapel. —The report is that the assignment of O. W. DcPsuw and the suspension of the Bank of Commerce will materially effect the finances of DePauw University. —The report is that nearly all kinds of gambling and robhiiig schemes were on tap at the Cioverdale picnic, openly and above board, and many an innocent dropped his ducats in exchange for the wisdom taught bv experience. —A few nights ago a party of sweet (?) serenades appeared at the residence of J. T Stewart, at a lute hour, to honor him with a serenade. Stewart stood the discord for a short time; he then armed himself with brickbats, etc., and bombarded the musicians, forcing them to retreat in a hurry. — Mrs. McLean contemplates making considerable improvement at the Springs: Machinery is to be put in to force the water up into the grounds about her residence, that pleasure parties may gather there uml have a nice time. There is also talk of putting in pipes to conduct the water to this city for drinking purposes. —A special from Muncie Ind., dated July 27, gives the following in regard to Pat Ryan, a former resident here. Last night Pat Ryan and a couple of Indianapolis friends went to a certain resort here and badly demolisned some elegant furniture. Ryan fired several loads from a revolver into the large mirrors, pictures, piano and other costly furniture. He took full possession of the house just to entertain his friends. The woman filed several charges against Ryan to-day. Ryan is a saloonkeeper. —Captain Coleman. Company C, New Albany, was in the city Thursday evening straightening matters in regard to a report that Co. C had robbed Thompson's restaurant last week, while en route to the encampment at Terre Haute. This is emphaticallydenied by the Captain, and he was very anxious that the good reputation of Co. C be sustained. By-the-way, Capt. Coleman is u newspaper man, having been on the staff of the Louisville Times for a number of years; he is a very courteous gentleman, and is a general favorite wherever he goes. —The Michigan City Dispatcli says; Col. C. C. Matson, who for many years represented the Greencastle district in Congress, was in the city on Monday on private business at the northern prison. He departed for his home in Greencastle next morning via the Monon. Referring in his conversation to a Dispatch reporter regarding the all-absorb-ing silver question, Col. Matson said that were he himself a member of Congress now he would vote for the unconditional repeal of the Sherman law. The silver element cannot hope to successfully combat the gold advocates, and the quickest wav for the former to dispose ofthe money question is by letting the single standard men have full sweep, for the present business troubles are undoubtedly due in a measure to the uncertainty attached to the money question. This is the only course that the silver men can pursue successfully agaiust the forces which are now at work for the gold standard Then with silver disposed of the advocates of the white metal could wait for developments and show the gold men the results of their ideas and theories. Too Cheap to be Honest. Three strangers named Johnson. Roseinliaugh and Bradley were selling gold frame spectacles in South Greencastle, Wednesday, at wonderfully low prices, indicating that they had procured them dish onestly. (Ijlieers went to arrest them; they ran a mile or so but were finally captured and lodged in jail, charged with peddling without license. The Mayor heard the evidence against the prisoners on Friday morning, and as a result Roseinbaugh ami Johnson were given fortyone days each in jail, and Bradley got off with a twenty-six days sentence.

The posts supporting the barn shed through which the lightning passed to the ground, were all split. It is fortunate that the building was not set on Are by the lightning. The horses in the barn escaped all injury.
