I HIT Sill 5 WATCH?
A gentleman called on a certain Greencastle jeweler to have his watch repaired; the jeweler adjusted his eye glass, looked very wise, and informed the gentleman that ‘■the intermolecular vibration of the isochronal was deflected from the supplementary curves of the horologium, and the repairs would
cost him !?o.
The gentleman left in disgust and came to me; upon examination I found he had, in attempting to move the regulator, bent the balance pivot, which I straightened
for 25 cents.

The Clarions were at Baker & Brownings Hall, the first three nights of this week—they sing and talk in the interest of the Prohibition cause, and they sing and talk in a way that entertains and amuses.

The second anniversary of the Columbian Club was handsomely celebrated, on Tuesday evening, Miss Martha Ridpath entertaining the club at tea. After enjoying the bounteous spread the Club listened to reviews of the year’s work prepared by Will Graham and Gray Potter, and to music rendered by Mrs. Mae Mann and John P. Hillis.

After congratulations had been extended alljpartook of wedding spread prepared for the occasion. Mr. and Mrs. Stone left for their future home, at Toledo, Ohio, on the noon train. Their friends, and they are many, wish them long life, a full share oi happiness and prosperity. A few days ago the Mayor of Crawfordsville, issued a proclamation that all “usual vocations,” except in cases of “necessity and mercy” must not be followed on Sunday, and that those who disobey the law will have their names handed to the grand jury. As a result Crawfordsville is
enjoying a spasm of experimental
mess, a
goodness, and on Sunday last you could buy nothing to eat drink or amokc in that village. The Sunday papers could not bo sold, and no one was allowed to do any sort of work that could be left undone. Every business house of every sort was closed tight as wax, and the quiet of that quiet hamlet was even more pronounced than usual. This state of affairs is the outgrowth of the work of the Good Citizens League, aud there is a great hick because thereof. The livery stables, restaurants and milk wagons were running as usual, the proprietors claiming that their business was of “necessity and mercy.” The Sunday law was passed in 1853, and has been a
dead letter for some time.

The Woman’s department of the sta e fair this year promises to be more interest-

re. The ladies of the state
should make it a prominent feature of the show. There are many articles in this county that ought to compete for the * liberal premiums offered and we would advise our
lady friends to enter into competition. —The Indianapolis Sentinel or Frii
iday says :
Frank D. Ader, attorney for Putnam county, was before the board and protested against the increase of the valuation of property in that county. The board has increased the valuation of lands in the county 10 per cent, and the improvements in the city of Greencastle 10 per cent and the lands in the township in which Greencastle is situated 10 per cent., making a 20 per cent, increase in Greencastle township outside of Greencastle. Mr. Ader said that for twenty years Putnam county had been assessed too high, and at the present time the assessment was much higher than Hendricks or Montgomery counties. He also said the population of the
county had decreased; the people had gone to the counties that have coal, oil, gas or stone.
CORRECTED ANCIENT HISTORY
Harper Evans’ Crime viction.
and Con-
Last week we published an article from the Louisville Times, purporting to give an account of the crime, conviction and escape of Harper Evans; it was so far from correct that D. E. Williams, who was the attorney of Evans, at the trial, has furnished us a correct
statement as follows:
"On Sunday uightof January, 1861, Oroveland,a small town on the eastern border of Putnam county, was the scene of the most brutal murder ever coramittted within its jurisdiction. Two persons, man and wife, side by side in the same bed, a third, in ventre sa mere, were the victims of the mid night tragedy. The crime was discovered about 9 o'clock the next morning. As the community was highly moral and law-abid-ing, the victims young and without enemies, you may imagine the excitement the crime produced. The people of the neighborhood, men and women, all classes ran to the house of the dead. It became the center of attraction to which all tended as to a common center. One of the first to enter the house was Harper Evans, then not over twenty-one years of age, born and raised within two miles of the town, of honest parents and respectedly connected. For some inscrutable, reason several persons kept their eyes on Evans, closely obserbing his conduct. He seemed to take in the surroundings at a glance, walked straight to a dresser, picked up a small memorandum book, turned the leaves as though searching for something known to exist, found certain sentences written with a pencil, such as "He is a dam good groaner, catch the murderer if you can,” evidently written by the hand of the
murderer, and while the parties were dving

The two victims had been brained
ax.
While others were pale and weeping, horrified at the ghastly sight of the dead, weltering in their own blood, he stood unmoved and pointed to different objects of a criminating character, that afterward stood up in evidence against him. At the burial he was observed to crowd his way to the grave and casket containing the dead, and gratifying his curiosity, with a smile on his face, turned and walked otf. Either God intended that the murder should out. or the devil determined to lead him to destruction These acts on the part of Evans formed links in the chain of evidence that convicted him. Within twenty-four hours after the crime became public the entire community laid its commission on Evans. The Coroner's inquest developed additional circumstantial evidence on which he was arrested and placed in jail for trial at the coming Anri! term of the Putnam Circuit Court. Able counsel, Judge Eckels and the Hon. John Hanna, both now dead, conducted the prosecution. The firm of Williamson A baggy, with Senator McDonald, of Indianapolis, made the defense. There was no thought of a plea of guilty, that meant certain death. The evidence was purely cir-
cumstantial, the trial covered the entire
Monday morning until Saturday
week, from
night, the historic week of Ft. Sumter. "Before the Coroner's jury Evans

several other young men were requested to write the sentences found in the book. Unfortunately for Evans the handwriting, spelling of certain words aud the capital letters bore such striking resemblance to the writing in the hook that experts swore they were written by one and the same person. Many other circumstances of less weight, but important factors in the aggregate, formed the chain of circumstantial evidence that fastened conviction of guilt on
the minds of the jury.
“The defense was conducted with the view of qualifying, explaining or destroying each criminating circumrtance. This course of procedure saved his life, though Evans frequently told the writer that in case of the latter punishment he would take his life. On the morning after the verdict he cut his throat, using part of a case knife he had secreted for that purpose. After the first cut he stood before a small glass, opened the wound with his two fingers and made two additional cuts, but failed to sever a vital organ. He fell on the floor from loss of blood, and was found by the Sheriff welte: ing in his own blood. There was no question of romance, love or courtship in the case. It was a coldblooded, brutal murder, the only motive being the love of sensation and a desire to hear the neighbors talk about
the crime.
Tie attended church Sunday night in the town, walked two miles to his father’s house, his parents being absent disrobed, went to bed, got up and walked back to town, committed the crime, returned to this home, went to bed and slept soundly until 8 o'clock next morning, then returned to town and was one of the first persons at the scene of the murder. These facts I learned after the first trial, as I did not wish to know them
before.
"Evans passed the ordeal of trial without emotion, cool and brave as a Hon. No conscience, no sympathy; in fad, he was a human tiger. A strange fatality attended the family. Sylvester Evans, the father,
