Hope Republican, Volume 2, Number 3, Hope, Bartholomew County, 11 May 1893 — Page 2

HOPE REPUBLICAN. By Jay C. Smith. HOPE INDIANA Pianos in France will be taxed ten francs, or about two dollars per year. The bicycle tax of ten francs per annum will be reduced one-half. ■ People who are interested in temperance reforms in this country will be interested in the practical workibgs of the Gothenburg system now in force in Sweden, by which the number of places where intoxicating beverages are sold has been reduced to twenty-seven in Christina, a city of 160,000 inhabitants, while Stockholm with 260,000 inhabitants has but 143 such places. An event of great National importance occured at Yale college, April 22. It was the birth of a boy baby to Mr, and Mrs, Hauslien, students in the graduate department. It is the first occurrence of the kind in the history of the institution. The fortunate child was not exactly “born with a silver spoon in its mouth,” but the class of ’92 will present it with a beautiful 1500 cup as a souvenir. A Norwich, Conn., gooseologist has been investigating and states that wild gray geese will jog on for an unlimited time at a gait of 100 to 110 miles per hour, making the trip from Florida to Connecticut in fourteen hours, when pushed, although their usual daily jaunt is 600 miles. They prefer to rest at night, but have been known to travel for twen-ty-four hours at a stretch. Wild geese have been unusually plentiful on Long Island Sound this spring. A strange case of lost identity appeared at Melbourne, Australia, recently in the person of a man who reported at police headquarters, apparently perfectly rational excepting upon the one point of his own name. He desired to find out who he was. Medical examination disclosed the fact that the man was all right except that he had completely lost his memory of past events. The police named him “Edward Bellamy,” because he could not engage in “Looking Backward.” Latest reports indicate that no clue has been discovered to his past history and the mystery is likely to remain unsolved. All the Presidents and Ex-Presi-dents who have passed away died in the United States. Andrew Jackson died at the Hermitage. James K. Polk died near Nashville. Andrew Johnson died, while a United States Senator, on his Tennessee farm. Washington, as all know, died at Mt. Vernon, and Jefferson at Monticello, James Monroe went to New York City to practice law and died there. Franklin Pierce traveled extensively and passed his later years in Concord, N. H., but died in Richmond. Three Presidents only, died in Washington. John Adams attained the most advanced age of all the Presidents and died at Boston at ninety-one. “The Owl” is the name of a restaurant on wheels which has been placed on the streets of New York by the Woman's Auxiliary of the Church Temperance Society. It is to be stationed at night in front of the Astor Place Bank, and others of a similar pattern are to follow. The vehicle is fifteen feet long, six feet wide and six feet high, and is handsomely and completely furnished for the business of a restaurant on a limited scale, having a counter across the front end, behind which the waiter in charge serves various refreshments at a uniform charge of five cents for each article. It is gaily painted and has a profusion of windows, which make it very conspicuous when all its lamps are lighted. A number of these wagons are in successful operation in Boston, Fall River, Hartford and Worcester. There is a woman in Virginia who can “see” things in the skies, and she has been writing to the New York Sun about it. She is certain that war is impending, for she saw directly after sunset in the last week in March a flaming sword thirty yards long across the evening sky. A few evenings thereafter there appeared to this favored mortal in the same quarter of the empyrean blue

a battle field with all its horrors of corpses, wild beasts and birds of prey, with marching armies of infantry and cavalry. On the third of April this remarkable woman relates that she saw, about 4 p. m., in large Roman capitals under the sun the name of “Christ,” and lower down the figures “1893.” On Tuesday, April 18, she saw an advertisement of the Columbian Exposition across the northern sky, “Chicago Fair, August 8th.” She closes her remarkable communication with the remark that “the editor will have to interpret the meaning” of the signs in the heavens, and the further information that 1 ‘we are having great storms here.” The editor, however, has failed to interpret the signs, notwithstanding the unequivocal command of his fair correspondent, and the waiting world will have to remain in the dark until, in the fullness of time, all things mysterious shall be made clear. Americans are prone to fancy that. the rapid spread of Republican ideas throughout the world will soon have the effect of eliminating kingdoms ! and empires from the maps and geograpies of this mundane sphere, yet at no time in history has the demand for jeweled crowns been so large, or potentates so lavish in their expenditures for this relic of what we fondly believe to be a weak survival i of the pomp and cruelty of past ages. A manufacturing jeweler of Birmingham, England, makes a specialty of this kind of merchandise, ' and this insignia of royalty is made of solid gold and crimson velvet,decorated with jewels according to the wealth and taste of the purchaser. There are several hundred petty kings in Africa, and this enterprising manufacturer finds a ready sale for his peculiar output. Time was when an ordinary plug hat adorned with turkey feathers satisfied the savage longings for regal splendor, but the world progresses, and African kings are determined to keep up with the procession as long as there is a demand for ivory or slaves in any part of the world. Jealousy is an all-consuming passion, and the fellow that gets left, if he does not fall into the 1 ‘sere and yellow leaf” of blighted hopes and withered desires, is liable to make things warm for those who have cast the slight of contumely upon his fondest dreams. One William Kingler, of Camden, N. J., a colored gentleman of infinite resources, has of late shown to the world what may may be done by a man who has endured the contempt of those whose favor and recognition he desired. In fact it may be said that William “got even” for slights of the past, with a large surplus of revenge to his credit for future emergencies. William had not only been rejected by the idol of his affections, but insult was added to injury by the failure of his successful rival to extend an invitation to the heart-broken lover to attend the nuptial ceremony either as best man, as is customary among the elite of colored society, or as an ordinary guest. This was too much, and the unhappy lover brooded long and hatched a hot revenge beneath his woolly ringlets that was altogether successful and unique. Procuring a supply of red pepper and arming himself with a hand-bellows, he hied him to the festal scene, and though his bodily presence was not desired, he wafted a hot blast of tropic spice through the key hole that added an unwonted activity to the happy throng. Matters soon reached a climax, and William felt a proud satisfaction as the coughs and gasps of the wedding party reached his cars. His liopes of revenge were fully realized, but his satisfaction did not long endure. The panic stricken party inside broke for the outer air and the male portion of the company gave chase to the unbidden guest. Razors flashed and gore might have flowed but for the presence of a policeman—one of those minions of the law having scented a free lunch in connection with the wedding festivities. William Kingler, with the pride of conquest fresh upon his smiling but opaque countenance, was marched to jail, bearing with him the serene satisfaction that other colored belles of Camden will hesitate long before omitting his name from their list of guests when their happy wedding day arrives.

James Foley, of Foleyville mines, has shipped to Chicago a block of bituminous coal four by four, seven foot seven inches in height. It is estimated to contain four and one-half tons, or 9,000 pounds. The South Bend Times recommends that the words of ex-President Harrison with reference to the Liberty bell, be framed and conspicuously hung up in every family room in this great country.

At the meeting of the board of trustees of the State Normal School at Terre Haute, Tuesday, Schumacher, of Indianapolis. was the lowest bidder for tho work of constructing and inclosing the new building.

Lon Trcnck, a drunken tough of Indianapolis, shot down Mr. Feadler, a Seymour hotel proprietor, who was defending a servant girl from the assaults of Trenck, Sunday.

the people to a frenzy of excitement. Officers rescued the murderer from the mob with difficulty. A terrible storm of wind and rain passed over Liberty, Friday, doing great damage to fruit and crops. Three persons were struck by lightning and instantly killed. One. Miss Ella Mitchell, was struck after the storm had passed and while the sun was shining.

McDonald, near Otis, was awakened some nights ago by a terrible pain in his left leg. Before morning the limb was swollen three times its normal size, and had turned black. Gangrene set in and two days later he underwent amputation of the limb. Mr. McDonald had been ill of heart disease, and the surgeons report that a diseased growth had become detached from the heart, and passing into the circulation, had lodged in the main artery of the leg. Several months ago Phillip Hart, a tramp, went wandering around Fulton county, and was given employment on the farm of John Robbins. He proved to be a worthy fellow. He claimed that he had been a well-to-do farmer In Michigan until ruined by forest tiros, and that after he lost his wife and child by death he went to tramping to drown his sorrow. While in the employ of the Robbins family his application for arrearages of pension was granted, besides which he inherited money by the death of two relatives in the East, so that to-day he is in possession of $110,000. Mr. Hart continues to make his home with the Robbins family and shows no disposition to leave.

Delegations of ladies, representing the Daughters of Rcbekah, were also there. Robert Robinson, a “lifer” in the prison north, familiarly known as "Old Bob,” is dying of old age and exhaustion. He is eighty years old. Robinson was convicted of murder and given a life sentence in Vigo county in 1857. He was first confined in prison south, and was one of the three hundred convicts transferred to Michigan City, in 1859, to assist in building the prison north. There he has constantly remained. In 1876 Governor Williams offered him a pardon, but it was refused. For many years he has been a “trusty” in that institution, and he knows no other home. All of his friends and relatives are dead, A startling discovery was made, Monday, at the Prison South. About two years ago, Robert Montgomery, a young married man, connected with the most prominent families in Jeffersonville, Louisville and New Albany, left Jeffersonville and for some time nothing was heard of him. Monday a convict arrived at the prison from Terre Haute, under a sentence of three years, giving the name of Robert Gerton. He was immediately identified by foreman Shane, of the Patton company, and other prison officials as Robert Montgomery. The fact has created a sensation at Jeffersonville, where his wife and children live and where they have always stood high. John L. Forkner, of Anderson, and Dennis Uhl were appointed, Wednesday, as trustees of the Northern Indiana hospital for tho insane. Mr. Forkner is president of tho National exchange bank of Anderson, an ex-county officer and a prominent politician. Mr. Uhl was reappointed.

The position of tax commissioner falls to Capt. David F. Allen, of Frankfort. He succeeds Josiah Gwin.of New Albany. Wednesday afternoon the Hon. John B. Cockrum was at Tipton to represent the interests of a L. E. & W. passenger conductor who was charged with assault and battery on Charles Hutto, of Sharpsville, whom he ejected from his train. During the progress of the trial, while Hutto was on the witness stand, Mr. Cockrum was severe in cross-examination. When the trial was over and after Cockrum had left the court-room, on his way to the depot, he was approached by Hutto, who in the interim had armed himself. Only a few words passed before Hutto struck Cockrum two or three times with a mace, knocking him down and inflicting severe and painful injuries on the head. Marshal Steiger arrested Hutto, and he was immediately indicted for assault with intent to kill, and was placed under $2,000 bonds. Jonathan Staunhope is a wealthy farmer of the section known as the Blue Lick Hills, in Wayne county. He is eightyfour years old, a widower and very eccentric. Recently he went to Richmond and presented his check for $3,800 to postmaster Jenkinson, as King that Columbian stamps be given in exchange. The Postmaster was unable to fill the order, but Staunhope insisted upon leaving the check, and the stamps have been ordered from Washington. Mr. Staunhope reports that he has concluded to paper the parlor of his home with Columbian stamps of one, two and five cents denomination, and he has estimated that it will cost him $3,800 to carry out his project. Word was sent to his son who resides in Kansas City, and young Staunhope is already at Richmond trying to prevent his father from carrying out his purpose. He claims that Staunhope, Sr., is daft, a charge most bitterly denied by the old gentleman.
