George Molen, of Arlington, Rush county, accidentally shot himself throueh the hand while loading hia rerolvcr for Christmas. Walter Carpenter, ft young man of Fortville, while celebrating Christmas, had his hand badly mutilated by the bursting of a gun. Charles Gray, an upholsterer of Vincennes, ended a spree, committing suicide by shooting himself in the bead with a revolver in the saloon of James McCarthy, near the Union depot Christmas morning. On Christmas eve Dr. Bristow, a young physician of Templeton Junction, attempted enicide by taking poison. Dr. Kalb, of Oxford, was telegraphed for, and succeeded in pumping him dry. Cause, unrequited affection. David Hopper of Hope, hopped up behind William Ryan, who was carrying an ax on his shoulder, the ax striking him in the face, cutting hia nose almost entirely off and a deep gaeh in his cheek. The wound is very serious, but not dangerous. George Burkhart shot Taylor Bowers, at Seymour, Christmas morning. Bowen entered Burkhart’s restaurant, and the latter SRTSjBowera insulted hia wife, when he shot at blci. The ball broke the flesh just to the right of the right eye, and passed around under the skin to the back of the head. The lime manufacturers of Mitchell hare closed butiness for the present season, and report their shipments ky rail at 150 carloads, of which fully two-thirds went to Illinois. The hands thus thrown out of employment have secured work for the winter at the stare factory and lumber yards recently started there. The United States court has issued a man* damns iu favor of Hanover college and other judgment creditors of Pnl&ski county, and a tax of five mills has been levied to pay the judgments upon bonds issued by the said county abd sold in Madison several years ago. This news is especially cheering to the friends of Hanover college. The heaviest rain storm of the present year prevailed over southern Indiana and southwestern Kentucky, from Monday afternoon till Christmas. The rain was almost continuous and at times very heavy. All the streams in this section of the state are rising rapidly, and many of them have already overflowed their banks and spread over the lowlands. Freight train No. 36 on the 0. k M. road, Charies B. Miles, conductor, was ditched by a broken rail west of Mitchell, Christmas morning. The engine and twelve cars were thrown down a steep embankment and piled one upon another, only the caboose and one other car remaining upon the track. Quite au amount of damage was done, but nobody was injured. Prof. J. A. Beatty, of the Bedford college, has sued County Superintendent Edward Thornton for both libel ana slander, the damages in each case being put at $10,000. The cause of these suits is a letter signed J. J. Jones, but believed to have been written by Beatty and sent to Mr. Thornton,in. which he is censured for a lack of courtesy to*Prof. Beatty during the session of the county teachers’ institute. A report is current (hat the Evansville A Terre Haute railroad company has purchased t)0 Rock port k Cincinnati railroad, now completed and in operation from Rockport Spencer county,to Jasper,Dubois county. It is said that the purchase will be fully consummated and the necessary papers passed iu a few days, and that it is the intention of the B. k T. company to extend the road to Oannelton, Perry county, and possibly farther up the Ohio river toward New Albany. About twelve o’clock of Christmas eve, four men went to the residence of John Myere, of Salem, and called him out on the pretehee of purchasing, Myers being engaged in burning lime. They represented that they bad some distance to go and were in a great hurry. Myers went with them, and when pome distance from the house was terribly beaten about ihelaody and legs. He says;that he knows two of the parties, but refuses to give their names, nor will he tell why he was beaien. Xack Chandler and Dan Rice. [Bice’s Tern per a* ce speech.] The night before Zach Chandlers death in Chicago we were Ptanding at a bar together, drinking. He said: ‘This is my last drink, Dan.

THE STATE OF MAINE. It is Terribly Excited on the Coant-Oat— Gov. Gareelon A«ks for Armed Men. [Washington special to Philadelphia Record.] Copgre&man March, of Maine, before he left for home last week, told your correspondent that he knew the republicans meant to use force, and he was going to Maine for the express purpose of telling Gov. Garceloa to be sure and have a sufficient force on hand to prevent the republicans from seising the state house. “What will the fusionists do if the republicans undertake that?” queried your correopondent. “They will certainly resist,” ho replied firmly. “And if the republicans use force?” “They will be resisted bv force.” Congressman Murch said at that time that rifle clubs were being formed by the democrats and greenbackers, and that the people were determined to sustain the governor and his council, and determined not to be either bullied or cowed by the republicans. OABC1LO* APPEALS YOB ABU ID MIS. [Speech at Augusta.] Fellow-citizbk8—I came not here to make a speech. 1 came to thank you for the evidence you have ;.iven that you will sustain law and order. 1 came also to ask your support as law-abiding, liberty-loving ciunena. In my effort to perform my constitutional duties I think I may expect it. [Cries of ‘You may!’] I am confident that if any traitorous hand be raised against the constitution of this state I shall have the hearty support of every loyal man, not only here, but throughout the length and breadth of this commonwealth. I ask you to be prudent in act and speech; but if the time comes when the laws have to be maintained against the attacks of a mob, I want you to be ready to take up arm8 in their defense. The constitution and laws of Maine must and shall be preserved. THE BEPUBLICAXB DEAD IH BARSKST. [Augusta special to New York Sun.] The expressions that are heard on the streets, in the shops, in the railroad cars, as well as in private conversation with republicans of the average grade of intelligence, are not to be misunderstood. Most of them know little and really care little about what has been actually done at the state house. They honestly believe that they have been swindled, that a monstrous iniquity has been devised by which they are the sufferers. They are much too rapidly getting to be dead in earnest in their declarations of readiness to shoulder the musket and march to Augusta. BXCBLLBXT OANPAIQS MATERIAL. [Report of Hon. George F. Talbot’s speech.] Years ago the scrutiny now given to the governor and council was exercised by aidermen and selectmen, but the law was changed when the right lo ballot was given to soldiers in the field. It was intrusted to the governor and council because it was not conceived possible that such officials could ever be chosen unworthy of the trust. The candidates Mr. Talbot had voted for were not elected, and he would not soil the record of an honorable life by accepting fraud dose for his benefit. This is au excellent campaign greivance for you republicans, and will do you yeoman service next year. He was too young a democratic fledgling to give advice, but, if he were permitted to advise, he would recommend that the representatives elected and non-elected. meet at Augusta and hold sessions day and night, doing nothing but settle these contested cases, and that honestly, and let the others step down and out. A FUSION 1ST DENUSOIATIOB. 0 The following letter from a fusionist rep-resentative-elect of the Hampden and Veaxie dan appears in the Bangor Whig and Courier: Tba sir, December 22, 1879. To the editor of the Whig and Courier: I w4ah to give expression In part to my feelings at the course pursued by the governor and council in counting out members of the legislature legally elected. I have, from the beginning, publicly and openly denounced th«dr course as a fraud, which no hoi eat man should uphold, and I bow aay that 1 still denounce it, and will not uphold it either by my voice or my vote, and I hops that every bouistman elected on the insion ticket will join with me in putting down this outrage. [Signed,] KSaaour. EDISON’S LIGHT. Ill ewe Seems no Doubt of Its Success—It Lights Hia Own House. [New York special to the Chicago Journal] • Yesterday morning your correspondent received the following dispatch from the home office: Edison telegraphs ns: “1 he light is now in IIve hAiies in practical operation. Bead your New York man down to see it.” In response to the instructions received your correspondent, with members of the New York electric light company, enjoyed last evening a private exhibition of the electric light and lamp in the home of Edison, the inventor, at Menlo Park. There was previously in the laboratory an inspection of all apparatus aud material that enters into the production of the new light, but of course the information obtained by that inspection will remain with those in whom Edison reposed confidence. The working of the light and lamp in the residence of Mr. Edison was completely sucoeosfu), and the people will be both astonished and gratified at the results of the public exhibition soon to be given. The simultaneous publication, iu several cities Sunday of the story of Edison’s success was not desired by the electric company. They say there was no intention to forestall public judgment, but the unwillingness of one newspaper in possession of the story to withhold it from the public eye. made it necessary to permit all to pubiish, hence the publication. The company did not wish either that values of gas stock should be depreciated, as dispatches from London and Montreal show is the case. It was hoped that the light would have a chance this time to be its own advocate. The successful operation of the light in Edison’s residence makes it appear that matches will be things of the past in cities when the light becomes fully established while those who manufacture piping, chandeliers and globes, now necessary in the use of gas, must find some other industries, while owners of gas stock, from appearances, will be the poorest of people. ( There ia the best authority (the secretary of the company) for the statement that no one anywhere has authority to represent or act for the company. A story is current in tome circles here that a party has authority to offer $14,000 for every $100 worth of stock of the electric light company that may be wr sale. mb. bdisoh's a xr las axiom. I New York Sun-l ‘"Hie secret of this light,” the inventor explained, ‘is that the resistance offered by that little piece of charred paper, about two inches in length if straightened oat, is as
graph wire. I moan that If the energy of a current of electricity were measured, altar it bad passed through tea miles of telegraph wire, the result would bo the same tt if an equal current were measured after it had passed through that little horseshoe. It is this resistance that converts the electricitr into beat, and causes the charcoal to glow so brilliantly. All I do Is to make the horeefchoea part of the circnit by turning this screw. No matches we needed; no ammonia, nepthaline, or other noxious gases and vapors are given off, and only one-fifteeenth of^ the heat produced by a gas jet is given CtTRAN ABOLITION. Terms ef the Law Passed by the Spanish Senate—Why It is Opposed. Madrid, December 26.—Both house* of the cortes have adjourned till January 10. The abolition bill which passed the senate provides for a gradual emancipation of slaveo in Cuba in '66, ’87 and ’88, after eight year# of provisional servitude under present masters. It is proposed to enact severe statutes against vagrancy in connection with this scheme and to extend the jurisdiction of the courts martial. The Weet Indian members of the chamber of deputies declare the law will satisfy neither owners nor staves. Gen. Marlines Campos and the senators from Cuba aad Porto Rico were opposed to the abolition measure of Canovas Del Castillo, on the ground that the new cabinet had not presented those tariff reforms which might enable the-colony to bear the increased cost of production, which would be caused even by a gradual abolition of slavery. 1 ♦ A BROKEN BAIL. , Resulting tn the Wrecking of a Train and the Killing of Two Passengers. Sr. Lours, December 26.—Very meager reports received here state that the passenger train on the Chicago and Alton road, which left here last sight for Kansas City, ran off the track between Kane and Berdan stations, some time last night. That two passengers were killed end several badly injured, two coaches burned, and the train generally wrecked. The accident was caused by a broken rail. The New French Cabinet. Pabib, December 26.—Leon Say held a long interview with President Grevy on Christmas. The Temps says De Freycinet’s Cabinet will be gaxetted on Saturday. It is also said that President Grevy, having officially commissioned De Freycinet to form a cabinet, De Frycinet is solely responsible. He will have to sumbmit first the names of persons, and later the program. Should his selection of persons not meet with Grevy’s approval, De Freycinet will have to definitely resign his commission. THM ALT8RMATIVB. Paris. December 26.—If President Grevy rejects De Freycinet’s cabinet or program, his only possible alternative ia to summon Jules Simon and dissolve the chamber of deputies. Residence Burned in Greenfield, * [Special to The Indianapolis News.] Grbbnfiild, Ind., December 26.—This morning about half-past 1 o’clock the house of Mrs. Eliza Moncrief, together with its contents, was burned, the family barely escaping in their night dresses when the roof fell. The lots will amount to about $1,000. The house was situated about four miles east of Greenfield. Strengthening the Afghani*taut Army.

Chicago December 26—J. O. MoMullia* general manager of the Chicago and Alton railroad, says lus information respecting the accident at Berden. seventy miles north of St Louis, is to the effect that the train wtt running about 30 miles an hour; that after the engine and all the cars, except the sleeper, which was the last one on the train, had passed over safely, a steel rail, rendered brittle by the cold, snapped and threw the eleeper from the track. This ditched all the qther cars, the engine alone remaining on the track. The porter, George Paine, of Chicago, and Colonel Bond, of Auburn, Hliaois, were killed. The brakeman. Bleeping car conductor, and a number of passengers, were hurt, but none seriously. Two coaches were burned, and the whole train badly wrecked. The fact that all the car* except the last passed over safely goes to ehow that the rail was in perfect condition, and was only snapped by the combined influence of the
extreme cold and revere jarring.
