Indiana neetU no word of praise from iue, for ehe stands to day confessedly the typical democratic state of the jjreat West. Cheers. I tood at the fron gate, of my little home in old Kentucky on the other evening, and I turned my eyes toward the north and I saw the shadowy outlines of the Hue hills of the great democratic state of Indiana. Applause and ehren. I caw the rising smoke from the democratic cainn-fires of her fierce democracy, and I knew tfiey were there Htid were at work. Cheer. I had lived o long bo near them and so close to them that I knew tbey miht be depended upon whenever duty demanded. Cheers.)

"When the state of Wisconsin was called every delegate in the hall arose, and again began a scene which rivalled the uproar of yesterday when Mr. Cleveland was nominated. Everybody produced a red bandana and every guidon in the hall was decorated with one. Delegate Tavlor of Indiana attached an enormous bandana to the guidon of the Indiana delegation and marched np on the reading-desk with it, creating unbounded enthusiasm. And the enthusiasm was genuine. The ring of it was of the kind when the yell comes from the heart. No artifices wtre resorted to to sustain it all, and when Mr. Flow er of the New York delegation, after the most vigorous effort, succeeded in crowding his wav to the reading-desk with the guidon of that state, also having attached to it an enormous bandana the delegates became frantic. The uproar was finally quieted in a measure, and the clerk again called the state of Wisconsin, the chairman of which delegation announced 22 votes for Thurman. The state of Iowa IS votes for Thurman. The territory of Alaska 2 votes for Thurman; Arizona, 2 votes for Thurman; Dakota, 2 votes for Thurman ; District of Columbia, 2 votes for Thurman; Idaho, 2 votes for Thurman ; Montana, 2 votes for Thurman ; New Mexico, 2 votes for Thurman; Utah, 2 votes for Thurman; Washington Territory, 2 votes for Thurman ; Wyoming, 2 votes for Thurman.

Thurman for vice-president be made unanimous." Loud cheers. The Chairman "The vote of Colorado will first be changed as requested by the chairman of that delegation from Gray to Thurman." A Delegate from Ohio "The state of Ohio is entitled to forty-six votes and she wißhes to cast her vote solid for Allen G. Thurman." The Chairman "The secretary will record the vote." The Secretary "The state of Ohio casts forty-six votes "for Allen G. Thurman." Mr. SLanklin of Indiana said : Mk. Chaikmax axd Gentlemen of the Convention I shall not add one drop to the flood of Perspiration by attempting to start another flood of eloquence. .(Laughter. I ari.e for the purpouc of withdrawing the name of Isaac i. Gray and movintj this convention that the nomination of Allen G. Thurnian of Ohio be made unanimous. We brought our candidate to this convention in good faith, believing it was for the interests of the party that hefchould be nominated; but this convention, composed of the ability and intelligence of the (Treat democratic party of the nation, has settled upon another choice, and we bow to that choice. Cheers. And I promi.e you that as partisans of Mr. Gray yesterday, this morning we are, now and from this time forward, the pojtles of Thurman and Cleveland. Tumultuous applause. 1 make this statement on behalf of th delegation rota Indiana; bnt there is one impression that has fained ground during the last few days which wish to take this occasion to correct. In the public prints and from the statements of individuals the impression has gone abroad that Mr. McDonald was at the beinninff of this movement in faror of Mr. Thann an. That does the dihtiniruished citizen of Indiana a great ini'ustice. lie had nothing to do with the startng of this boom for Thurman, It came from the Pacific coast, aad I bopa they will enjoj it .

as well after the November elections as they evidently enjoy it to-day. My fellow citizens I now withdraw the name of Mr. Gray entirely, and our Gray handkerchiefs shall be found no more on our housetops. Kvery Indianian in the city of St. Louis will return to his home tonight with u red bandana worn across his breast. I now move that the nomination of Allan G. Thurnian be wade unanimous. The Chairman "It is moved by Mr. Patterson of Colorado ancU seconded by Mr. JShanklin of Indiana that Allen G. Thurnian of Ohio be nominated by this convention by acclamation. Those in favor of that motion will say aye." At this point the convention arose en masse and shouted a lonr, loud and unanimous "aye." The chair then put the other side of the question, but there was not one left to vote..

The Chairman "The chairman of this convention declares Allen G. Thurman to I be the unanimous choice of this convention for the olhcc of vice-president of the United states." Loud and prolonged cheering and cries. YV. II. Pojk; of Texas oflcred the follow ing resolution : Resolved, Ilv the democratic, party, in convention nsserabied, that in the death of Winfild i Ilaucock, the democracy of the union has lost one of its devoted sons and the country a P'ire and illustrious patriot. 2. That we nincerely deplore his death and here tendrr to Mrs. Hancock our respectful and earnest sympathy in her irreparable loss. The resolution was unanimously adopted. THE VICE-PR ES I DENTIAU NOMINEE. Th Hon. Allen Ci. Thurnian of Ohio Ills Illrth-Petatls or His Life. Allen (i. Thurman was born in Lynchf burp, Va., Nov. 13, 1S1.1. His father w as a minister, and his uncle was the famous "Rise Up" William Allen of Ohio, who Was a native of North Carolina. Mr. Thurman came to Chillioothe, 0., P.irly if! j the nineteenth century, aud w ju admitted j to the bar shortly after passing his ma- ' jority. Chillleothe was the original capi- ! tal of Ohio. It was there that the first j state constitution was prepared, and in this pioneer city Mr. Thurman achieved 1 distinction in his profession in a community where the giants of Ohio's early bar naturally gathered. The first office of importance to which he was elected was that of a representative in the Twenty-seventh congress. A few years after he was elected to the supreme court of Ohio and became its chief justice. His opinions are more frequently cited than those of any other jurist conspicuous in Ohio's courts His exhaustive opinions on the Sunday common labor law, an enactment which obtains in nearly all the states, have become the standard authority in practice everywhere. In ISO!) he was elected to the U. S. senate, and re-elected. He served on the monetary conference at Taris with Evarts. After his return he announced, in all sincerity, his determination to retire from public life. During his term as a U. S. senator he exposed the immense donations of land made under republican administrations and the country w a startled to learn that the amount equalled more than the territory occupied by the original thirteen states. Mr. Thurman has always been considered the most eminent lawyer in Ohio, and in party councils the reverence paid him was never divided until the occasion of the Payne-Fendlcton senatorial contest, but that that episodo has been forgotten is evidenced by the fact that last fall the whole party desired by acclamation to nominate him for governor, a wish which he blockaded by an emphatic declination couched in no Blaine-like obscurity of lanpuage. Senator Thurman served upon the electoral commission, but was forced to retire from ill-health before the final vote was taken. He was opposed to its formation, but vielded w hen it was positively asserted that Samuel J. Tilden acquiesced in this method of settlement. Ex-Senator Thurman was named in the convention of 1SS4 as a candidate for president, and though Mr. Cleveland aua Mr. Uayard alone led him in the vote first cast, Ohio's representatives diverted a portion of their vote to a hopeless candidate, and thus destroyed the chances of Mr. Thurman's nomination. He has lived almost in exclusive retirement for the past four years until it was brietly broken by the venerable man's appearance as one of the attorneys for the prosecution of the Columbus "tally-sheet forgers. His boom for the vice-presidency came recently, and for a Ions time he endeavored to oppose it, but finally yielded to the persuasion of his friends and admirers. It was not that he had developed any new qualities within the past few months or years that he was proposed by friends for the second place on the ticket. His fitness for the Eosition, his unquestioned integrity, the onor which has been accorded him universally, and without regard to part)' by his countrymen, at once attracted to his name the support of prominent party loaders, who saw in the ticket named at St. Louis a combination that would appeal alike to the honesty and patriotism of the American people. Ilia record on the Chinese question, on the Pacific railway monopolies, and on other questions in which the western coast is especially interested is trusted to earrv much weicht in Oregon, Nevada and California. The only objection urged against nomination ia his ae. His friends, however, as an offset to this cite the examples of Bismarck, Van Moltke, Gladstone, bright, Goethe, Victor IIupo, Washington Irving, Thurlow Weed and other remarkable characters who seemed at their best at from sixty-five to seventy-five years of age. LOCAL DEMAND FOR THE BANDANA. How the News Was Received In Indianapolis Talks With Got. Gray and Others. The red bandana is all the rage in Indianapolis. If society were involved in the meshes of the rage it would be called "the latest fad." Merchants had been preparing for the rage for the past few days and no sooner had the wires brought to the I loonier capital the news of the result of the fct. Louis convention than bandanas appeared everywhere. They "went like hot cakes" and by nightfall no well-regulated democrat was to be found without a bandana. It was the popular emblem of democracy. If Indiana's failure to secure second place on the ticket occasioned any bitterness, it was effectually concealed. Not a trace of ill-feeling was betrayed by anylody. There was disappointment, of course, but no nursing of it, and all democrats seemed imbued with the intention to rally to the supiort of the "old Roman" just as enthusiastically as they would have rallied around Indiana's favorite son had be been the nominee. Members of the party, generally speaking, had not bad time or opportunity to dissect the platform, but from casual reading they w ere Inclined to think it the witwut and strongest documunt that could have been prepared. INTERVIEW WITH GOV. GRAV. Gov. Gray was proceeding in his composed, methodical way, as is his wont, with the duties of his oßice when the news of the outcome of the St. Louis convention was coming in. His manner w as that of a man who felt a keen sense of disappointment at his failure to reach the acme of

bis ambition, but' who was able at the same time to accept the denouement philosophically and yield to the inevitable with becoming grace. AVhen a Sentinel reporter called upon him early In the afternoon he had just accepted an invitation by wire to attend the commencement exercises of the state normal school at Terro Haute to-day and make an address and deliver the diplomas to the graduates. Thon, turnine to his stenographer again, he dictated the following dispatch: Indianapolis, June 7, 1S83. To the Hon. Allen O. Thurman, Columbus, O.: Accept my congratulations on your nomination. Cleveland and Thurman will receive the enthusiastic support of the Indiana democracy. Isaac P. Gray. "What have you to say of the outcome of the convention?" the reporter inquired. "I have had no other expectation for two days," ho answered. "When the New York delegation declared for Mr. Thurman I was satisfied he would be the nominee of the convention for vico president." "Did the support of New York mean that Mr. Thurnian was the choice of the administration?" "Not necessarily so, but it created that impression. The delegates from all sections of the country accepted it as the will of the president. My friends in St. Louift wrote me to this effect as soon ns the convention began to assemble, and told me it would be impossible to overcome this impression." "1V you regard the nomination for vice president as a strong one for Indiana?" "Mr. Thurman will receive the full vote of the democracy of tho state. lie is verv popular w ith Indiana democrats and will poll the full vote of the arty." " ou feel satisfied with the action of the Indiana delegation?" 'I feel prouder," said he, earnestly, "of the steadfast, honest support my candidacy has received at tbc hands of my party in my own state than I would he of any honor the convention could have conferred Uon me. Yes, I am more than satisfied." Tho governor did not discuss the platform, localise he had not then read it, but lie took it for granted that it was not defective in any respect. He did not, in fact, have a word of complaint to make on any account. It is confidently believed that the governor will le just as active in the campaign for Cleveland and Thurnian as ho would have been if the ticket had been Cleveland and Gray. MR. KVf.I.lSIl's INDORSEMENT. The Hon. William II. English said he was entirely satisfied with the action of the convention. From a hasty perusal, the platform seemed well enough, and the ticket, he thought, was first rate in fact, the strongest that could have Ken made. As to President Cleveland, he had administered the affairs of his great ollice in a manner so entirely satisfactory that public sentiment demanded his nomination with remarkable unanimity. As to Mr. Thurman, he was notoriously not a seeker of a place on the ticket, and his selection was the spontaneous work of the people, who recognized in him the highest type of a pure, able and thoroughly honest statesman. "The record of the lives of these men is sufficient guarantee that the interests of the people would be safe in their keeping. The objection to Thurman on account of his age is very ridiculous in view of the standing of such men as Gladstone and Bismarck. It is true he is an old leader in the democratic party, but none too old in age for the position to which he has been nominated. In fact, bis age is cntirelv appropriate for the presiding officer of the senate, and there are those who will recognize a trace of poetic justice in the nomination on this occasion of so old a democratic leader as Mr. Thurman." Mr. English said he had the greatest confidence that the ticket would be elected. GOV. POUTER ADMITS ITS STRENGTH. "The ticket of Cleveland and Thurman is undoubtedly a good one," said ex-Go v. Porter. "I remember one very curious incident in connection with Mr. "Thurman which has been vivid in my mind for many years. A great many vears ago Judge Thurman, Judge David McDonald and myself were engaged upon a suit in this city. For some reason or other the suit was delayed for a week or s;o. Judge Thurman was stopping at the Hates house, hence one evening Judge McDonald suggested that we call upon him. We arrived at the hotel ami knocked gently at the door. No one came and " we knocked a little harder. It was quite early in the evening and we had no thought that he was in bed. Finally, however, he came to the door in his night clothes and ushered us in. He gave a most odd reason for his early retirement. He said that he had for years been in the habit of "accumulating rest." Whenever he was engaged on a suit and it was postponed he would devote all his energies to sleeping. 'I'll tell you, gentlemen,' he continued, 'I can sleep more than anv man you ever saw. I sleep for a week sometimes almost steadilv. Then I am prepared to stay up three days and nights and work continuously. That is what I call accumulating rest.' Judge Thurman was a magnificent man physically and mentally in those days, but I suppose the Eassage of years has furrowed his visage y this time." , II A J. CALKINS SATS IT IS STRONG. Maj. W. II. Calkins was approached by a Sentinel reporter on the subject of the nomination. "What do I think ( f it?" he said. "Well, to give you my candid opinion, I think that the ticket of Cleveland and Thurman is fully as strong as the democratic party could have nominated. There seems to be a unanimity of choice unparalled in the history of the party, and this would certainly indicate a harmonious campaign." "What do you think ot the tariff plank?" "As for that I have not seen enough of the platform to talk intelligently. But from the telegraphic reports it would apFear that it is somewhat of a straddle, lowever, the indorsement of President Cleveland's message would pretty nearly indicate the policy of the party, and tariiF reform or protection will be the cry for 1888." JUDGE ELLIOTT. The Hon. Byron K. Elliott, judge of the supreme court "I think it was a good thing for the republicans that Gov. Gray was not nominated, lie has a very strong following in this state. Personally I was for Gray if we had to have a democratic vice president. Thurman, though, must be a splendid man and nianv democrats idolize him. But, as the little boy said who was whipped for crying, 'It's none of my funeral.' Judge Greshnm'g Opinion, Ixrisvin.E, Ky., June 7. Judge Walter Q. CJresham passed through Jfew Albany, Ind., this afternoon on a vi?it to his old home at Corydon, Ind. While there he was seen by a reporter to whom he said: I consider the action of the democratic convention in the platform adopted a complete endorsement of the low tarill wing of the party. It is a Kplcndid triumph of the principles so long and so ably advocated by Mr. Wattcrson and the Courier' Journal. Red Bandana's Galore. Jeffkrnonvillk, June 7. Special. Democrats here are pleased with the St. Louis nominations. The city has bloomed out in red bandanas. Men, horses and wagons are decorated with them. One Hundred Guns. Madison, Ind., June 7. Special. The democracy to-night fired 100 guns in honor of the nomination of Cleveland and Thurman. r .

A SPLENDID CONVENTION.

THE HIGH COURT OF DEMOCRACY. KrTiew of th Week's Work at St. I.onU Why Cleveland Wai fnanlmouily Re. nominated The Vlce-Preildency and Indiana's Delegation Platform. St. Loris, June 7.-Ppeial-The great convention is over, and the participants are leaving the city to-night for their respective homes well satisfied with their work. They feel that they have fully met the wishes and expectations of the democratic masses of the country, and that they have given the party a platform and a ticket with w hich it is certain to win "hands down" in November, whatever the republicans may say or do at Chicago. Whatever may be charged by the opposition press the convention was a thoroughly representative body one of the most so that has ever been held by any party in this country and remarkably free from the pressure of official power, or the influence of class interests. There were not very many men of national reputation in the convention, which is to say that there were not many senators or members of congress or other public officials of any class. It was mainly composed of good, honest, working democrats, close to and fresh from the people, whose action was inspired by motives of the purest and motit unselfish patriotism, and whoso course reflected the sentiment of their constituents. They were all for G rover Cleveland's renomination, because ninetyninc out of every hundred democrats in the country were for it, and not because the slightest pressure had been exercised by tho administration in any quarter tobring alout that result. The enthusiasm which greeted every mention of Cleveland's name was hearty and spontaneous, and nothing can be farther from the truth than to represent the demonstrations in his honor as in any sense artificial or forced or strained. Cleveland, ns the first democratic president in a quarter of a century, has naturally made a profound impression upon Iiis party, as he has upon the entire country. Ho has made a good president; his administration has been free from scandals; he has fought the monopolies and the trusts: he has had the courage to do,' unpdpular things when his sense of duty dictated such action, and, best of all, berfha. by a single brave and manly act brought a great issue squarely before the country - and put his party in the right relations to it. It would be strange indeed, if, in view of these things, the president s&ould not be enormously popular with hh' party. The greatest amount jnterest has naturally attached Ö to the., action of the convention upon the tariff question. The charge was freely rwido before the convention assembled that tho piatform had been prepared in the white-house, and that "Bill ' Scott wo'ifM'tring, it out with him and the convention, "Would adopt it, whatever it miyht iray.e tobe. The charge was a silly invention,- There was no cut and dried platfcinti, lio rough draft of one even, sent otttironi; Washington. The platform as it stands Is the outcome of protracted deliberation by a committee consisting of one delegate from every state and territory in the country. As "I telegraphed so long' ago as last Monday evening certain Eastern politicians, among them Senator Gorman of Maryland, Edward Cooper of New York and ex-Gov. Abbett of New Jersey, laid their plans very carefully to capture this committee. They managed bvßome clever work to get several men of ! protectionist tendencies on the eoramiitw ,-o.s representatives Of States whO-b 'delegations were heartily for tariff .formv Mr. John O'Day, for instance of '.'.Missouri, was put upon the commhux with the understanding that ho wa 'nil i right on the main question." BÄt he; voted for Gorman for the chairmanship, and supported the "straddle" polier1 fa the'early sessions of the committee. Vhf rights course came to the knowledge ci the legates from Mistouri they were highly ..mdignant and called him to account, lie attempted to justiiv his action," but th delegation would listen to noarshlmcnt upon the question and wa Id1 'probably have requested his withdrawal from the committee, had be iit Intimated that he would comply with, ite desires in the further deliberations of the committee. Two or three other mumliers of the committee, who were found: to be misrepresenting the views of rtbe?r delegations, were sharply disciplined!' and given to understand "that unlesf they toed the mark on the tariff issue, they would expose themselves to grave political consequences. Notwithstanding all this, however, it is not unlikely that a majority of the committee would have adopted an evasive declaration but for the announced determination of Mr. Watterson and the other outspoken tariff reformers to carry the question before the convention. Tho tariff trimmers knew that this would result in their overwhelming defeat, and so thev yielded with the best possible grace. It was a splendid victory for the reformers and puts the democratic party on advanced ground. It meets the question of the dav bravely, with a declaration that has no Ifs or anas or buts about it. The meaning of the platform is so plain that he who runs may read." The wayfaring man, though a fool, cannot mistake it. The party has shown, through its convention, the courage of its convictions. It has responded nobly to the brave and patriotic statesmanship of the president. It has staked its all on a principle. It has nude a manly appeal to the intelligence and the conscience of the country. It has raised full high the standard of "revolt against monopoly, and has proclaimed its undying hostility to trusts and combinations. "Live or die, sink or swim, survive or perish," the democratic party is for a reform of the tariff. As to the varying phases of the vicepresidential contest they have been accurately presented in these dispatches. There has never been a moment since the delegates reached JSt. Louis that any other nomination ' than that of Mr. Thurman was possible. This has been clear to every intelligent and practiced observer, and to none more so than the managers of Gov. Gray's canvass, who, however, maintained the light persistently and pluckily to the last and never once admitted to the outside world what they were compelled to admit to themselves, that they were fighting a hopeless battle. They had a superb organization and they covered the ground fullv and well. They presented the claims of Indiana and the merits of Gov. Gray forcibly aud eloquently to all who would listen ; they stated with great clearness and cogency the reasons which indicated his nomination to be good politics; they argued Gov. Gray's superior availability and urged that hisselection would remove any possible doubt as to a democratic victory in Indiana. Hut it was all in vain. The delegates from the Pacific s!oie, from the Eolith, from the New England and from the Middle states w ere, with few extions, bent on having the old lioman on the ticket. They listened courteously to all that was said in favor of Gov. Gray, but few ot them wavered in their preferences. It is not true that Mr. Thurman's nomination was dictated by the adminis

tration. If the administration had opposed it, it could not have prevented it. Call it sentiment, or emotion, or what you like, the Thurman boom wasa sponcaneousand enthusiastic movement, and one that could only have lecn overcome by the positive refusal of the old statesman to accept a nomination. There have been a good many wild and silly rumors afloat during the past few days, some of which were calculated to reflect on the good sense and manliness of the Indiana people. For instance, they were accused of making attacks upon Senator Thurman's private character. There was not a particle of foundation for this. They invariably spoke warmly and appreciatively of the senator's character and public services. Their only objections to him were based on his age, his health, and the very decided improbability that he could carry his state. These objections were stated in a dignified and courteous manner, and in fact the whole canvass for Mr. Gray was conducted in a spirit of fairness and w ith strict regard for the proprieties. No illegitimate or underhanded methods were resorted to to promote his interests. Gov. Gray would not have sanctioned the employment of such methods, nor would the gentlemen in charge of his interests have been capable of using them. The Indiana contingent made a fair, open and manly battle. It was fairly and squarelv defeated, and accepted its defeat gracefully. It has nothing to reproach itself with. It was a capable and skillful body of workers, and made a most favorable impression upon all with whom it came in contact. A candidate's interests were never in letter hands than in those of Messrs. Voorhees, Turpie, Sheerin, Hawkins, Murdock, the Shanklins, Pass, Kern, Munson, .Skinner, Hawkins, the Stuarts, Henderson and fifty more that might be named. I'his morning when the convention met the result was a foregone conclusion. Kverylodv knew that Thurman would be nominated oa tho lirst ballot. But the Hoosiers were determined to die game, to show their loyalty to their candidate and then to accept the defeat which was inevitable with becoming grace and dignity. All of which they did. Senator VoorheeV nominating speech was a happv effort; under other conditions it would have had a profound effect. Put the oratory in behalf of Thurman was of a very high class, and the orators had the great advantage of being en rapport with their auditors. The great speech of the day was that of Senator Daniel of Virginia, seconding the nomination of Thurman. It was eloquent from beginning to end and took the convention by storm. Capt. lawson, the brilliant editor of the Charleston Xacn and Couvh r, also made a great speech. Tho balloting had not proceeded far when it was seen that the result would he as foreshadowed for the week past. The scenes that followed as state after state ook their places in the Thurnian column were enthusiastic and inspiring to a degree and wi ll never bo forgotten by those who witnessed them. The feeling to-night is one of universal satisfaction with the work of the convention. The ticket is considered invincible by all good democrats, and the platform as an honest, able and manly statement of democratic principles. A Narrow Kcape from Death. Lockport, X. Y., June 8. A thrilling accident, in which escape from instant death seems miraculous, occurred at Brundage's whirlpool elevator on the Canadian side of Niagara river, at 9 o'clock this niornin?. Four South American", accompanied by an interpreter, stepped into the car to descend to the rapids, a descent of .100 feet at an angle of 4", when the ear suddenly started and rushed to the bottom of the incline, where it was dashed into splinters and its occupants thrown with great force upon the platform. Before they could escape the other car reached the top with such force that it was detached and came down upon the shocked and bewildered victims of the first car with a tremendous crash. Itelief soon came to the party, when it was found that Mrs. Santana had a leg broken and was terribly shocked and bruised, and her daughter badly cut under the chin. The lady's husband and the interpreter, fortunately escaped injury, but it is feared Mrs. Santana will not survive. " Drawn Under Table Rock. LOUISVILLE, June 8. Charles Murphy, a fisherman, aged thirty-three, was drowned on the falls this morning in a singular manner, lie went out with his net, and making two or three unsuccessful hauls, passed over to a point called the "Backbones." There he was seen to Made in with his net and a moment later to throw up one hand with a cry of surprise and to begin to move down the current rapidly as if drawn by some irresistible force, lie stood uprijrht, struggling backward with all his force, and screaming for help till he was drawn beneath a huge flat rock. Other fishermen hurried toward him at his first cry for help, but before they could reach him he was drawn into the whirlpool under the Table Rock, which is supposed to be bottomless. It is thought a huge fish was causrht in his net and making a sudden plunge got the start of Murphy and was aided in dragging him down by the strong current of the rapids. Murdered by Thieves. Jasper, Ind., June 8. Special. A young man named Prosser was murdered night before last near Boonville, Ind., by a party of thieves consisting of five men and two women. A valuable coat belonging to Prosser had been stolen, and in attempting to recover it he was murdered. The entire party is in jail. The Beautiful Baltimore Belle. Baltimore Home Journal.

No Universal Remedy haa yet been discovered ; but, as at least four-fifths of human diseases have their source in Impure Blood, a medicine which restores that fluid from a depraved to a healthy condition comes as near being a universal cure as any that ran be produced. Aycr's Sarsnparllla affects the blood in each stao of .its formation, and is, therefore, adapted to a greater variety of complaints than any other known medicine. Boils and Carbuncles, which defy ordinary treatment, yield to Ayer's Sarsaparilla after a comparatively brief trial. JIr. C. K. Murray, of Charlottesville, Va., writes that for years he was afflicted with boils which caused him much suffering. These were succeeded by carbuncles, of which he had several at one time. lie then began the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and after taking three bottles, the carbuncles disappeared, and for six years he has not had even a pimple. That insidious disease, Scrofula, is the fruitful cause of innumerable complaints, Consumption being only one of many equally fatal. Eruptions, ulcers, sore eyes, glandular swellings, weak and wasted muscles, a capricious appetite, and the like, are pretty sure indications of a scrofulous taint in tho system. Many otherwise beautiful faces are disfigured by pimples, eruptions, and unsightly blotches, which arise from impure blood, showing the need of Ayer's Sarsaparilla to remedy the etil. All sufferers ironi blood disorders should give Ayer's Sarsaparilla a fair trial, avoiding al! powders, ointments, and washes, and especially cheap and worthless compounds, which not onlv fail to effect a cur, but more frequently aggravate and continu the diseases they are fraudulently irlrtised to remedy.
