CLARKSVILLE ENERGETICALLY PROTESTING THE CHANGE.

Riot Cases Pushed to an Issue at I.a&yette—Found Dead at CoatwYille ▲ Monster Oak at Cast le ton— — Other State News.

[Special to The Indianapolis News.]

Jeffersonville, March 2.—The voter* I of Clarksville held a red-hot meeting last | night to protest against the passage of the Stotsenburg bill, and the trustees of the town were roundly denounced for surrendering the town into the hands of corporations.

The meeting then called for the trustees to

they fail fhe

^ te* tbeia and their resignations requested. A protest was signed by one hundred voters in a few minutes. It was alleged that the teleeram asking Representative Dailey to hold up the legalizing act was sent on the demand of the ear-works by a trustee who is employed there. Mr. Dailey’s course was approved. The people declare that if the Stotsenburg bill passes, they will attempt to upset it in court. One of the trustees, Mr. Isgrigg, stated that he had signed a petition for the Stotsenburg bill, being wrongfully informed as to its merits.

He joined m the protest.

Klot Cases Fashed to an Issne. [Special to The Indianapolis News.} Lafayette, March 2.—Yesterday afternoon the attorneys for Clark, McCauley, Carter, Murphy, Temple and Joyce, charged with conspiring to commit a felony and also with assault and battery with intent to commit murder (the assault being made on George Rudolph, the ex-priest who attempted to speak at the opera-house some weeks ago, and was mobbed), moved the court to quash the indictments, alleging that the counts were conflicting, the one charging an attempt to do a thing, and the other charging the consummation of the act. The question was argued at some length, but Judge Langdon sustained the indictments. The defense took exceptions. The defendants then entered pleas of not guilty. Having been granted separate trials, it will devolve upon the State’s attorney to designate which of the six defendants shall first be tried. The Court expects to set down all of these canses at the earliest possible moment, but it is probable that the felony cases, of which there are a number, will occupy several weeks, and the misdemeanor causes are likely to go over until next term. It is the purpose of the Court to start the first trial on the 20th inst., unless some thing should intervene to pre-

vent. Monarch of the Woods.

[Special to The Indianapolis News.} Castleton, March 2.—An oak tree was felled on the farm of John Johnston, one mile and a half south of this place, which, by the circles or rings from the heart outward, lacked but live years of being five hundred years old. It measured fifty-five inches in diameter at the stump; length of trunk, clear of limbs, was fifty-two feet, measuring at the top forty-eicht indies. This is equivalent to 5,594 feet of lumber. There was u twelve-foot log above the limbs. It is not believed any better timber was ever grown in any State, and it is suggested that this monarch of the woods should be sent

to the World’s Fair.

Medical Student Having Trouble. [Special jo The Indlanepolls News.} English, March 2.—Worse than murder is the sentiment expressed her6 because a medical student prepared a skeleton by boiling the bones. The student claims that the “subject” was bought in Louisville last fall, and that it was buried in a stable until now. By permission of the owner he used a mill furnace until the stench became so terrible that he was compelled to leave. The student will be required to prove from what [toinf fhe body was obtained.

Tramps burned Charles White’s barn, in Morgan township, Owen county, and six horses were cremated. High water in the Mississinewa river carried away the dam at Fisher’s mill, near Somerset, entailing heavy loss. Mrs. Thomas McQueen, of Elkhart, is demanding §10,000 damages from the city because of a fall on a defective sidewalk. The Anderson Times bitterly opposes Sam Jones as a revivalist, and it can see no good to come out of the Kokomo meetings. Kokomo claims the distinction of being the first city to send a delegation to the General Assembly to fight the Haggard gas bill. J. H. Houapp has hteen elected president of the Business Men’s Association of Seymour, which associatiou proposes to boom the

town.

Diphtheria continues to cause alarm in the St. Vincent (Catholic) Orphan Asylum at Ft. Wayne. Yesterday four new cases developed. The Hendricks Club of Ft Wayne have set sail lor Washington, via special train, wear* ing high silk hats and spring overcoats, carrying canes and feeling jolly. Charles Griffiths, of Fairland, arose in the night to put a dog out of the house. The next morning his father found Charles dead in bed. The deceased was twenty-five yegrs old. The Rev. E. W.

His 1 daughters have brought suit against the North American Accident Association, claiming §6,000 on policy held by deceased. J. W. Pertz and family, of Kokomo, nar- ! rowly escaped suffocation by natural gas.

Mr. Meriweather speaks very determinedly concerning Ms enforced imprisonment, and he will bring suit against the retreat, claiming 919,609 for false imprisonment. He will also sue Dr. Cook, physician in charge, claiming 95,«W damages for alleged malpractice.

Mr. Culver located in Owen county in 1850, andtn 1854 he became a resident of Spencer, where he served several years as jailer. Afterward he removed to Morgan county. Mrs. John Rice, one of his children, is living near Spencer. She is seven-ty-«ix years old. Mr. Culver was born in Maryland on the 4th of March, 1789. The late Samuel E. Adams, of Richmond, was fond of telling of a remarkable coincidence which occurred three years ago. During a severe thunderstorm a canary bird flew into the house. Within a few minutes a shivering and badly frightened spaniel was found begging :or admission. The dog was let in. Less than an hour afterward-a child was heard crying on the outside, and the door opened to admit a little tot scarcely two years old. The child, dog and canary were never claimed. Mr. Adams found a comfortable home for the little one, while he continued to care for the dog and bird. The Columb ia Rifles, of Anderson, recently leased, the Olympic Theater, which is on the second floor of Maj. John H. Terhune’s new block, for armory purposes. Last evening fire partially wrecked- the theater. The Birtie Lawrence Company was playing an engagement there and the company suffered a loss in costumes and scenic effects. The State was damaged |l,o: o in destruction of arms and accoutrements. William Cartinel, queensware and notions, and O. J. Jones, hardware dealer, on the lower floor, were considerably damaged by water. The total loss reaches §11,000, partially insured. The Eastern exchange for the New Richmond bank failed to arrive last Saturday and Monday the bank lound itself short of funds, and parties presenting checks were told by the cashier that they must wait until the train arrived. Naturally, there was a disposition to criticise the bank officials, and for several hours there was considerable ill-feeling and not a few fights among the depositors when they transferred their condemnation of the bank to wrangling among themselves. Finally the train pul ed in, the Eastern exchange turned up all right, and the bank officials and depositors resumed relations. Ex-Mayor John M. Ball, of Lebanon, committed suicide by shooting himself through the heart. He had been in failing health for over a year. At the last city election he was defeated for re-election as mayor. He also met with some financial reverses. He was a leading Democrat, an d quiie popular, as shown by the fact that he was elected mayor with a plurality of 150 votes to overcome. He served as auditor of Boone county for eight years, and as president of the county agricultural society for fifteen years. He left a letter in effect that God had told him to kill himself, and that in committing suicide he simply did

his duty.

There is no election excitement aa yet in the town, although three trustees, a clerk and marshal go out of office in May. It is probable that some of the five, ii not all of them, will be re-elected, as their administration ,s said to have been satis actory to the town.

It is probable that Senator Stuart’s bill, enabling the town 01 West Indianapolis to increase tbe number of its trustees from tnree to five, will meet with the approbation of a majority of the citi. eus 01 that suburb.

Trustee Dickson was compelled to leave the town ,or a long period, to seek better health, and he had no sooner returnedand taken up h.s work again than Trustee Pierson was seized with sickness which made it impossible for him to give any attention to town business for many weeks.
