Heretofore, aa a matter of courtesy to the committee, I have ailed it to;her each year and nubmitted myrejort to it in adtance, and ail preent have signed it, so that it became tiimr rt-port aa well as mv own. In thig tea I did not do that for several reruns. (1) I called the committee together last fall and presented the question of the dates to them, and they said they had nothing to pay. (L'j I realised that there was a - dklerence of opinion amonj; the members on the p:ibject, an I concluded because of this to make my own oiiicial report, leaving each cf the rest to follow hia own course, and to expreaa his vi.jwa for himself in his own way. The committee is cosnpored of twelve members, and at leait eight of us have stood together on thia subject, and one cf tbe rt has expressed himeelf to xne in the same wy.

For several days the seventy-live thousanddollar damage suit of the Dronberger brothers of Frankfort, this state, against the Clover leaf railway, has been on trial here. It was a suit to recover damage from the road. In lSVJ the Dronbergere, who were shippers, had a difficulty and a light with tbe agant of tLe defendant's company at Frankfort, Some of the newspaper accounts of this fight, the Dronbergers claimed, did them a financial injury by hurting thsir business, and they sued the Tnu of Frankfort and the. railway company, as well as the local agent cf the latter. Since coming here, the Droubergera dismi'ned eo much of their uction as was against the newspaper and the local agent. Mr. Freuchy, but presold the suit against the railway company. The allegation was that the aer.t had procured extra copies of the publications named, and distributed them through the cars and over the lino of tbe road, and the edort waa made to hold the company reeponailile for the acta of the agent. The officials oi the road, from the president down, s'ffore that they knew nothing of any publications being made, or of extra copies being secured and distributed, and in fact knew nothing about any action Mr. French might have taken in regard to circulating copies. On tnis showing, at the instance of the defense, this morning Judge Larue instructed the jury to return a verdict in favor of the Clover Leaf road, which was done. The suit was for $73,000.

In Ihi.s ward a titter fight waa made on Councilman Yon Behrsn, who was a candidate for re-election, based upon some grievance real or imaginary which the J-mn al bad sgaiiiht him. and the probability is that bis friends rallied to his aupport an they might not have done had tfley not felt that the motive of the attack upon blm was pure y a peraonat one.

A CONVICT'S RECORD. The Keniat l.:itle perlene? of an Old I'enitPntUrj Ilinl. Noiir ksvii .i.e. April 10. Special. Ja!ne9 Shockley, who was arrested in this c'tv Saturday eveninir aa being an escaped convict from the penitentiary at Michigan Citv. ha a checkered career. His main fort is borae-etealiog, and for ofienHes of this nature he has served previous terms in both dato prisons. He is an exceptionally line brick mason, and laet ( ctober. when his escape was eilected, he had been placed on newer work outside the prison walls. Being a shrewd, as well as a desperate criminal, he experienced but little dih'iculty in giving the guards the s ip and gaining his freedom. He has the remarkabio record cf being fif:een yeara in serving out a five years' eentence, having escaped from the prison four times during the tiftcen years. He would be ireo for various lengths of time, ranging from six months into the years, when he would be captured and returned to the prison to s-rve out his unexpired terra. After being incarcerated a few months he would sgain eucceed in escaping. He has been the source of almost as much trouble to the otlicials of the prison aa any other convict.

IIol.l Open liny l-ilit Murder in A Intrrftoti. Axnn!o, April 10. Special. John Mor nritv, a well-known resident of this city, phot and instantly killed McClelian Streets, ut tbe corner of Main and Ninthsts., tbis afternoon. The tragedy came as the f etjuel of a trouble that has long been brewing in Kitcheutown, a locality cf this city, between a lot of rili'-raH and the better element. John Moriarity, John Ii. Tavlor and others of Kitchentown had incurred the enmity of the Streets, Lee an. I Kandall fami.ies by trying to force them to leave the locality or act with more decency. A few nights ago some parlies, supposed to be these last named, surrounded the houses of Mr. Moriarity and Mr. Taylor and threatened to do violence to them. The result was a lot of affidavits Mied against th) Ilandails and Lees and they were placed under arrest. The trial took place Saturday, but was coutinued until to-day. Saturday night late some parties stoned Moriarity's houae and knocked out a lot of windows and broke the door. This made Moriarity very mad and he determined to get even. I!e was sati6tiea he knew the parties that stoned his house, but he could produce no evidence sullicient to convict. So he brooded over tbe matter until be became almost insane with rsge. This afternoon he had gone up into Squire Fleming's court to be present at the trial. He came down on the street for some purpose, and when nearing the corner of Ninth and Main-ets., be met McCledan Streets. Moriarity had a revolver in his pocket, and aa he met Streets he grabbed it with one band and in a low voice aaked Streets "why he had stoned his house." Streets denied the charge with an oath when Moriarity inntandv pulled bis revolver from his pocket and fired. At the first shot Streets feil to the ground, and while trying to rise to hie fe t again Moriarity tired tbe second shot. Both took deadly e'tfect. Moriarity is supposed to be insane. He wae arrested immediately after the murder and is now iu jail. A QUICK JOB. ISuilding n Kallroml in Mnnein in the ICnrly huiulay Morning Hour. Mrxni:, April 10. Special. The quickest job of railroad building ever accomplished in Muncie, or likelv the etato, was done between the hours of 12 o'clock Saturday night and 6 o'clock Sunday morning in this city. The Citizens' etreet railway company have a franchise on W. Main-st. and had the material for their tracks on theground for some time, but as the Muncie street railway company occupy that street and operate a line on same, it was understood an Injunction suit would be brought as toon as tbe new company commenced work on that thoroughfare.' To obviate the diiliculty and avoid the delay incident to an injunction suit, the new company dacided to put in such of the lino as was neceusary lor them to have in order to connect with other streets on Sund&v, when it would be impossible to legally serve them with an injuuetion. In order to accomplish their object overything was gotten iu readiness on Saturday, and 150 men were held in waiting in the company's office in the An thony block until midniyht. When the clock in the court hous tower chimed out the hour that divides eecu.ar from sacred time the 150 men, with picks, shovels and crowbars, marched to the corner of Main and Walnut-eta., where they set to work with a vim aud vigor that showed determination to accomplish their obje t before morning. - The object of the sudden wove was to build a single - track on Main-st., from Walnut to High, put in their turnouts and string the wires before tbe old company could enjoin them. And when peopie came Uonn town on Suaia morning they

saw a complete electric lino from Walnut to Hiifh-8t., which had grown to completion in a few hours. Since that time no work has been done to connect this track with other lines of thia company which have been completed, or near.y eo. The work on the street at that hour soon attracted a large crowd and the work was watched with much interest by hundreds of people. Superintendent Gotshall directed the work, and did it o systematically that within a very few minutes very man was at work. Flagstones were raised and the po ea placed in position; stakes were driven defining the lines where the track waa to be laid, and everythin moved a ong as smoothly as if the matter had ail been prearranged and the workmen instructed in their parta. Today, the old company, the Muncie street railroad company, filed a suit against tbe Citizens' electric etreet railroad company, asking $5,0)0, claiming that amount oi damage was done their Main-st. track. They also filod a Buit for ejectment, to causa a removal of the electric road's track, and want an injunction to prevent their finishing thia piece of track or further laying track on streets occupied by them. The proposed lines of the electric company conflict with the old company at many placee. Citizens in general are with the new company, as they want to see the steam motors now iu uje moved from the streets.
