He grows peaches on the Knobs near Bartle in the summer and oranges in Florida where he spends the winters.

Robert Turpie. an eccentric bachelor, now occupies the old homestead and is the sole surviving one of the family In Carroll county. The verdict in the Boone case was not a surprise in the least, and it seemed very flimsy evidence on which to charge the woman with murder in the first degree. Never once was an opinion expressed that she would be convicted, and the act that the attorneys for the defense did not Introduce a single witness showed how confident were their minds. Mrs. Boone will ero back to Cambridg3 and probably never be molested agiin in a like manner. Richmond Item. The Cleveland steel mills. Michigan City car works and thousands of other manufacturing establishments employing armies of hands are opening up all over the country. The democratic administration seems to be as active in starting the mills as the republican' press tried to make us believe It was in closing them a few months ago. It seems to be outdoing Itself in the matter, as it is opening some mills that were closed during the Harrison administration. Miami County Sentinel. There came to town Tuesday morning a sad family of three, a husband, a father and a mother. They hailed from Patriot and the husband. Anderson by name, came In search of his wife.

The lethargy which has embarrassed the factory industries of Muncie as well as other lines of business Is helm? shaken off and the magic city is becoming her own booming, bustling self again. The factories are making arrangements to resume thone that have not been running all summer. Several of the glass works will start up within the next ten days. The iron industries, especially, have been the center of observation and conjecture, owing to the deliberations of the Amalgamated association. The wage trouble seems to be nearing a settlement now, however. Muncie News. Dr. Rerlck says in the LaGrange Standard: Anybody can cure round shoulders by a very simple system of exercise. The round-shouldered man should go into the open air three or four times a day, let his hands drop to his sides and then, while inhaling fresh air, rise on his toes as high as he can. The filling of the rungs pushes the shoulders back to their normal position, and if the practice is steadily followed for a couple of months, the worst pair of stoop shoulders in time will become as straight as a drill sergeant's. Stephen Culp, residing south of Nappanee, who has been on trial at Warsaw for. a criminal assault upon the person of Miss Emma Diesch. the thirteen-year-old daughter of Valentine Diesch. was fou'nd guilty by the Jury that tried him, and given a sentence of six months In the county Jail. The' Warsaw Times thinks that either the verdict was a compromise on the part of the Jury or else an uncertainty as to the guilt of Culp existed in the minds of a number, else the sentence for so heinous a crime would not have been so very light. As usual there were "shell game men" along with the circus and they found suckers among us as they always do. It is certain that one farmer lost $71,' one $S3 and one of our townsmen it is said lost considerable and how many more bit at the bait we can not tell. We keep their names out of print for their families sake, but we have no sympathy to offer them. They were simply trying to get some money for nothing and lost their own, and during our fair next month they are liable to get another dose. Lake County Star. The state federation of labor will hold a mass meeting In this city about the second week in November, for the f)urpose of a revival of interest in the abor circles.

On Thursday night last the relatives of Mr. P. C. Hammond, sr., gathered at the residence of that geatlmin and made him a present of an elegant goldheaded cane the occasion being his eightytieth birthday.

Mr. Hammond Is one of our pioneer and best citizens and every one wishes him one hundred years more of life tilled with pece, happiness and prosperity. I'eterrburg News. William Matthews, the Union depot barber, living Just north of the depot, experienced a very singular incident this morning. About 1 o'clock Mr. Matthews was awakened by a peculiar noise in the bedroom closet and upon investigation found the closet on fire. In extinguishing the blaze he had his hands burned badlx. The origin of the- fire is a profound mystery and cannot be accounted for. His wife had been ironing yesterday and had placed the clothing in the closet, but they had never been near the fire. It may be a case of the "Mouse and the Match." Vlncennes Sun. A play which was not down on the boards occurred at one of our saloons, which caused considerable merriment for a short time, and might have ended In a tragedy had the villain in the play been captured. The leading role was assumed by a prominent citizen, who, being fatigued with his hard day's work (?) fell asleep, when the villain of the piece' stepped up and mixed about five cents worth of chewing gum with his moustache, stirring it in. The antics of the leading character were greatly enjoyed by the audience, which was composed of a very "mixed" crowd. Greenfield Tribune. The Laporte Herald tells a story which is of a very peculiar nature. A few days ago two men, each in charge of a team of horses drawing a hay wagon, drove down on the Kankakee marsh to bring a couple of loads of hay. In going across one section of the marsh the wheels, under the pressure of the load of hay, cut into the soil, which seemed like a crust, flames Issuing forth, which set the load of hay on Are. Like a flash the entire load was a mass of flames. It appears that the heat under the upper crust had been smoldering for some time, and when vent was given its flames burst forth as stated. Next Sunday is the first of October and Hicks says the month will come in with cool days and frosty nights. From 3d to 6th warmer, with bluster and fall rains.

Secondary disturbances due about 22J. to be followed by bright, cold days 'and nights up to storm period of 2Cth to 30th. This last period promises a smart dash of winter toward and folloving the close of Its storms. August Larson, living near Elston, has been sadly bereaved, and misfortune does not seem to even give him peace. Some time ago he lost his wife, then a young child, and yesterday his eleven-year-old daughter, Ellen, died of typhoid fever. She was a brisht young girl, and her death almost breaks the poor father's heart. "While she lies dead in one room another child is apparently dying in an adjoining apartment, suffering with the same disease, which has been so fatal In Mr. Larson's family. Mr, Larson has the sympathy of all who know of his dreadful bereavement. Lafayette Courier. Last week a surprise family reunion took place In the family of our esteemed citizen. Mr. Georee Harry. His three brothers, Nicholas or New York city, Isidore of Minneapolis, and Joseph of Brooklyn, with their wives, arrived here unexpectedly on their way to Chicago.

Ilaskett of this city sent his wife to Indianapolis to visit her sister, and upon her return Sunday she found a note on the parlor table, penned by her husband, informing her that he had gone to the world's fair. He is still absent, and as several of his pictures, together with his K. of H. and Red Men insurance papers, are missing, Mrs. Haskett is inclined to believe that he has deserted her. Ilaskett formerly lived at Dunkirk, where his first wife and parents still reside. He was employed at Brooks & Co.'s poultry and produce establishment. Mrs. Haskett No. 2 is a daughter of John Glosser. Logansport Pharos. One of the most remarkable freaks of nature came to light in this city Wednesday afternoon. It is a calf with two heads. What was evidently intended as the real head end of the calf is perfectly formed back to the middle of the body. At the end of the calf "where the tall ought to be," U another perfectly formed head, but without mouth or eyes. The exit of the alimentary canal is in the abdomen Just back of the navel. It was calved Wednesday afternoon and is still alive and sucks. A number of people have gone to the barn to see it, and all declare that it Is indeed the most wonderful freak of nature they ever saw. Shelbyville Republican. Saturday evening a prominent young man was seen on Main-st. whose appearance attracted much attention. He entered the Huntington house by . ladies' entrance, and when asked by Night Clerk Long what he wanted, he answered: "Look, they're following me." The first impression was that he was intoxicated, but by his staring eyes and rambling speech it was seen tl.at such was not the case. Friends took him home and he Is getting along all right now. A small vial which he kept touching to his mouth was taken away from him and a doctor pronounced it bei la donna, which Is used by some people to make the eyes sparkle, for which the young man was probably using it Richmond Independent. The girl that gives way to a desire to gad about the Btreets and cultivate the acquaintance of young men and act the Simpering simpleton, is laying the foundation for a senseless after life. Ten to one when married she will develop into a slatternly gossip, if no greater misfortune befalls her. It is the girl of good sound . sense, the girl who loves home and helps her mother, that wins the model man and becomes an ornament to womanhood.

Lawrenceburg Register. John E. Leuteritz, who lives a short distance east of town, left Monday to make a six-months' visit to Dresden and other roints in Saxony. Germany. John has not seen his aged mother and other members of the family for twenty-five years and his present visit will be a great surprise to them, as they have not the slightest intimation of his intended visit. Should a beneficent heaven grant that the mother and son may meet under felicitous circumstances, words cannot picture the Joy of that fond old mother's heart. It will indeed be to her an autumn sunbeam of unusual brightness. Brownsburg Record. The casa against Thomas Bust, who lives near Nevada and who was arrested some months ago on the charge of assaulting his daughter, was dismissed and Rust was released from Jail. We learn that the girl went before the grand Jury and denied the storv which she told, hsr neighbors at the time of her father's arrest, and for that reason no indictment was returned. The girl evidently swore falsely at one time or another and her actions in the matter have been the source of much uncomplimentary comment. Before Squire Fippen her evidence was of the most incriminating nature against her father, but it seems that she has greatly changed her mind.-Tipton Times. Mrs. Abigal Hoel Davis died in Crawfordsville Tuesday, aged ninety-eight. Mrs. Davis was born Feb. 8, 1795, at Newark. N. J., and at the time of her marriage in 1815 to Randolph Davis reSided In Butler county, Ohio. In 1328 they came to Montgomery county, settling on Indian creek in Brown townShip. Their first home was a typical log cabin in the midst of an unbroken forest, the one room answering the purpose of parlor, bed-room and kitchen. Mr. and Mrs. Davl3 were industrious and In time had a comfortable income. They had nine children, ix sons and three daughters. The sons living are Isaac and John Davis. The daughters are Miss Eliza Davis, Mrs. Jemima McKinley and Mrs. aiary Burgess. The county "commissioners have purchased a lot on the corner of Eighth and Broadway on which to erect a new Jail. The lot was bought of Mrs. E. Baker, for which she received $2,050. The location is an excellent one, being In close proximity to the court house. A handsome Jail will be built at a cost of $60,000, with all the latest Improvements and appurtenances and when completed will be the finest In southern Indiana. This Is something that Knox county has needed for a great while, as the Jail we now have was built on the narrow contracted plan and is a filthy, disagreeable ; place and a disgrace to the county. The new Jail will be after the most modern type, and we predict that it will be a thing of beauty when completed. Vincennes Sun. The other evening there was a wedding at Clay City. A number of young men made up a charivari party and some of them imbibed tK freely. At a late hour, and while in a restaurant on Flfth-st., two of the yoiing men, Charles White and Robert Wagner, became involved in a quarrel, the former attacking the latter, and in turn being knocked down by Wagner with a club, the blow rendering White senseless. When White was picked up It was discovered he had an open knife in his pocket, and as it is stated he was the aggressor in the quarrel, the fact of the knife being found on his person leads to the conclusion that Wagner acted in self defense. Wagner, however, skipped out to avoid arrest. Physicians say White cannot recover from the injury inflicted. Brazil Democrat. The unusually quiet town of Angola was startled yesterday (Tuesday) about noon bv the sad and true report that one of her worthy citizens, Seneca Dutter. had taken- bis life with his own hand.

Soon after the famllv heard the report of a revolver, and on rushing to the room found that he had shot himself near the center of the forehead. He died Instantly and without a single struggle. Kendallvllle News. Every city ought to have a stringent law prohibiting the young of either sex from wandering about the streets after dark, says the South Bend 'Tribune. If parents could only see the actions of their little sons and daughters some of these nights, they would be more particular about knowing where their children were and hail with delight such an ordinance aa exists in- Newburg. Ore., which forbids any person under the age of eighteen years to wander-about the town after 7 p. m.. between November and April, and after 8 p. m. during the rest of the year, unless bearing a permit from or being in company with parents or guardians. Many are the seeds of wickedness sown by this custom of allowing children and young people to roam the streets at will during the hours of darkness. Charles A. Tuttle, the new professor of history and sociology of Wabash college, delivered the first of a series of public lectures Tuesday evening at the college chaDel. Besides students a goodly number of citizens, both ladles and gentlemen, were present. He was introduced bv President Burroughs. The initial lecture was mainly devoted to the baslo principals of economics, a study that should engage the attention of ' the masses as well as the student. Prof. Tuttle is a pleasing talker and his lecture bore all the evidences of a man thoroughly conversant with the branches he proDOses to teach. Wabash college can be congratulated that this chair has been established and that the services of a thoroughly competent man have been secured to fill it Crawfordsville Journal. "I was .n a thrilling poker game the other night," said a pensive youth. "We had no chips, so we used matches. I was banker. We gathered all the matches in the room and in our clothes and then divided them out at 2 cents per match. All went well. Everybody had good hands and betting was redhot. Luck seemed to be impartial, and when we stopped the winner ought to have been only about tl cents ahead; but when it came to cashing up I found that the bank was out $3. Then one of the players kicked because I would not redeem matches that had been used to light cigarettes. Another man growled becauia he could not bet half a match for Hi cents. I could not find out where all those matches came from that I redeemed, -and fear that there was a Job put up on me." Rlcp-nond Item.

When he came down to the court house he discovered that the prospective groom was only about sixteen years of age and refused to issue a license without the consent of his father. So the marriage was declared off for the time: The father subsequently gave his consent and the license was issued. The event was celebrated by a charivari Saturday night. Sullivan Democrat. W. A Carter and son Arthur are home from the scene of murder of the Wratten family at Washington. Mr. Carter states that the scene that met his gaze as he entered that humble dwelling made desolate at the hands of fiends, beggars all description, and made the heart sick at thought of so fiendish a crime, while the appearance of the mutilated bodies, mangled and butchered, with blood spattered and in pools in all parts of the house made a creeping sensation permeate the whole system. He speaks of the surroundings as being of a nature neither to entice nor Invite a professional robber, and be1 lieves that the murder was committed by some one well known in the vicinity and familiar with the Wratten family's circumstances, and believes that with clues that are held by the authorities, that the guilt of the crime will soon fasten Itself upon the perpetrators of the fiendish deed. Seymour Republican! In accordance with an act passed by the general assembly of the presbyterian church, the churches of that denomination in this city Sunday held temperance services. At the Third church the venerable pastor, the Rev. Charles Hutchinson, preached a powerful sermon on the subject, arraigning the people for the general condemnation of liquor dealers, claiming that the nation itself waa responsible. At night there were varied exercises, Mioses AdaGroh, Alberta Putnam and Nellie Armbruster reciting selections in a touching and effective manner, and a male quartet and the choir rendering special music. Miss Belle E. Pierson delivered an address pertinent to the occasion.' In which She showed that the law-making persons were responsible for the liquor evil, in that they licensed the traffic. The pastor delivered the closing address as an appeal to young men to be temperate and moral. New Albany Ledger. The suicide of Mrs. Eliza Lebo was an exhibition of nerve that is not witnessed , every day. She took a small cord, j doubled it, made a slip-loop in each end, got upon a box about two feet high which stood beside an open door In an upstairs j room of her house, put one loop around j her neck and hung the other on the top . of the door, and then kicked the box j aside or stepped off. The noose about her neck drew tight, and her feet touched the floor. The loop over the corner of the door slipped off when the body was raised. Her children discovered her position, probably very soon after she committed the deed, and called to Joe Hauser who was coming this way to "come In, mother is hanging herself!" But instead of going in at once Mr. Hauser ran back south some distance to Hancock's and notified them. The body of the dead woman was yet warm when neighbors arrived and took it down, but life waa extinct. Pulaski County DemocratThe officers from time Immemorial have spent a good portion of their time trying to save the lives of the army of small boys who seemed determined to snuff out their lives under the wheels by Jumping on and off moving trains. The lads, by special and cordial Invitation to the death messenger, have persisted in meeting him more than half way, by inexcusable recklessness and daring. To that end a vigorous start was made and two Kokomo lads are now in Jail, where they will remain for seventeen days each. The boys arrested were Ray Horick and Oscar Shultz, who were taken in by Officer Hutto while boarding Clover Leaf cars in the yards. The parents of the boys were seen by the officers. They declared they had tried in every way possible to stop the dangerous habit and were willing the boys should go to Jail, believing it would teach them a lesson they had tried in vain to impress upon their children. Kokomo Tribune. W. P. Davis and other Davis heirs brought suit against Henry P. Davis for their interest in the property left by Sarah E. Wright at the time of her death. The property is located near the crossing and is worth from $5.000 to $7,000. All the parties to the suit are brothers and sisters. Henry Davis, the deftndant, who was with Mrs. Wright considerable of the time during her last Illness, claimed to be the owoer of the real estate by purchase front Mrs. Wright and upon the trial of the case In court produced receipts showing payment of the money. He defeated the case and was left in possession of the property. The proceedings brought in the circuit court yesterday were for a new trial of the case, and the complaint filed is of a highly sensational character. It is claimed that the receipts exhibited to the court on the former trial were rank forgeries and that Davis never paid a penny for the property. Anderson Herald.

from time to eterrlty. Mr. Benson was born at Snow Hill. Md.. in 1801. He came to this county and entered land, that on which he lived at his death, Aug. 12. 1833. He had been a member of the primitive baptist church at the time of his death seventy-two years. He was like his master, a man of peace. He would not quarrel never sued a man in his life. He was neither rich nor poor, and never complained. For the first horse he ever owned he paid $20 and made 20.000 rails. He was the father of nine children, eight of whom survive him. We knew Mr. Benson well, and doubt if he ever harmed a man in all his long life. He was a democrat, but owing to ill health, did not go to the last elction. His last elcknees was of four weeks' duration, during which time he waited patiently for the messenger that was to take him to the Savior he loved so well, and the friends who had gono before. Rushville Jacksonlan. During the June session, the county board accepted a proposition submitted by J. W. Hunter of Indianapolis to examine the books, vouchers and settlements in the various county offices, to ascertain whether or not there is any money due the county from the state, or any other source, on account of any error or omissions. In the event anything is found Mr. Hunter agrees to collect the same without expense to the county, save his charges, namely, onehalf of all money collected. It is underStood that the proposition does not Include the examination of the accounts of any of the county officials or ex-offlclals, but applies wholly to possible omissions In matters due from the state or other sources. In pursuance of this contract with the board Judge A. F. Ayres arrived yesterday from Indianapolis and commenced a systematic search through the archives. He began in the records somewhere back In the fifties, and the task will employ his time for three or more weeks. Goshen News. A bright contributor to the columns of the Huntington Herajd writes: "There is no business today that requires more intelligence, more study and more 'sand than the business of the agriculturist, 'Anybody can be a farmer!' 'Any fool can plow and sow!' Yes, and anybody can be a lawyer, a preacher or a doctor. A man can 'practice law or medicine, and have no more sense than a goose. Nor is there any law in this country that prevents a simpleton from being a preacher. The lawyer, the doctor and the preacher cater to the wants and demands of men. The agriculturist has to do with and meet the demands of nature. The lawyer and the doctor yes, and the preacher, too can humbug the people, because the people love to be humbugged. But the agriculturist cannot humbug nature. She will net yield up her treasures to those who deal dishonestly with her. The business of agriculture ia a great and high calling. Few, indeed, comprehend Its greatness or are aualifled to meet its demands." A telegraphic dispatch waa received here Saturday stating that Woodard Fulghum, who formerly lived east of this city, had been killed by lightning Irl Clinton county, Ohio. We have not been able to get particulars farther than the following dispatch: "Mr. Fulghum, husband of Mrs. Amy Fulghum, minister in charge of Olive Branch friends' church, was found dead yesterday under a tree which had been struck by lightning during a storm Friday afternoon. He had accompanied his wife to services at a tent tabernacle half a mile west of this village, where the friends are holding a series of meetings. After set vices he gave his place in the buggy to a lady who was to accompany them home, and he was to walk across after attending to some affairs on the way. Not arriving at home, it was concluded that he had decided to tarry and attend evening services in the tent. Still not reaching home In due time after the services, alarm was felt for his safety and search was instituted, resulting in finding him." Winchester Journal. William F. Vogt, postmaster at Covington, and editor of the People's Paper, has become insane. Mr. Vogt has not been in good health for some years, but despite this fact has, until the last week or two, insisted on personally looking after the work In both newspaper and postofflce, his indomitable will alone sustaining him, when most others would have given up the struggle. This strain has borne its fruits, and of late he has been falling rapidly. Added to his other cares, a bitter fight has for some time been on between blm and the editor of the Veedersbarg News. This affair, which had a very small beginning, had grown to be personal, and was one of the most vituperative and heated fights known to Indiana county Journalism. It was while reading the last proof of an article on this controversy, being confined to his bed at the time, that Mr. Vogt's mind gave way. Mr. Berry of the News, with the Instincts of a true gentleman at heart, promptly published a card cf regret for the part he played in the sad affair. Rockvllle Tribune. A Nappanee sucker wants the law to reimburse him for his lack of a little gumption. Some time since a republican bet James Griss, who is a democrat, that in three months after the inauguration of Cleveland one-third of all the factories would be chut down, and a written agreement was made; but in the meanwhile, by the Inserting of $23 as the amount the republican backed out and Herrn Hosbrough took his place. It was a sure thing, as the date fell on Sunday. The contract, Griss claims, called for the deposit of the stakes and the document in the bank for three months. Before the time was up when the money was to be paid the winner, Griss "caught on," and wanted his money, at the same time disputing some alleged terms of the document. This led to the breaking of the seal, when It was found that the money had never been "put up." Griss brought suit on the grounds of a violation of the agreement and to recover as in the manner of such cases. The defense offered no evidence and the interesting part of the matter did not come out, but as Judgment was taken and the case has been appealed, it will no doubt come out and be Interesting.

Ex-County Treasurer Dltmire if Fulton county has been detected in a wholesale scheme of petty stealing from the taxpayers of the county that is cut of the usual line of highway robbery or foot pad burglary. From each taxpayer in figuring up the amount of his tax, he collected from 10 to 20 cents more than the duplicate showed was due.. In this way an examination of the books indicates that he stole from the taxpayers about fifteen hundred dollars during the two years he was treasurer.

He took th.9 Southern Pacific road. He gave u. very vivid description of the arid plains through New Mexico and Nevada, in some parts of which it had not rained for nearly two years. A ride of sixty miles In southern California takes ona from tne most mil desert and among orange and lemon groves. California Is the land of surprises, of fertile and arid strips, and is geologically the newest part of our country. He spoke of the Santa Anna wind as being very strong and blowing sand through every chink into the houses. His description of hl3 seaside sojourn and his study cf corals and anemones was very good. California Is also the place where things ar aone on large scales.

Before adjournment last week the board of county commissioners entered Into a contract with the Indiana trust company of Indianapolis for the sale of eighty thousand dollars' worth of county bridge bonds, and more if it be necessary. The county, under the contract. Is to receive $77,000 and to pay 6 per cent, interest. The bonds are issued for ten. fifteen and twenty years. The Indiana trust company is to pay 140,000 to the county treasurer on Oct. 3, $?5,000 on Oct. 15 and the remainder on the demand of the county treasurer. The commissioners have been aware for some months that it would be necessary to have this amount of money, so they instructed the clerk. Ash P. Reynolds, and their county attorney, M. A. Ryan, to negotiate the sale wherever possible. The banks of this city were notified that these bonds would b j sold, the various bond-buying establishments of New York. Chicago and other points were communicated with. Last December $30,000 worth of county bonds were disposed of at $1,000 premium to Farson, Leech & Co. of Chicago, and since that time have changed ownership several times. The fact that these bonds were offered at a sacrifice week before last to local capitalists did not tend to improve the chances for selling the JSO.000 bonds. The best bid received was the bid of the Indiana trust company, made by Henry W. Marshall, w.io is a stockholder, as above set forth. 'When the records were about to be signed up a few citizens, who wene said to represent capital, protested on the sale at a discount, and the board held off until the next day that t?iey might find place to put the bonds. But at 9 o'clock the next morning the time appointed these gentlemen did not show up with money and the contract with the trust company was duly signed up. It was necessary to have the money at that time for Craven Smith served notice on the board that his work would be completed by Oct. 5. and the money must be here. Delphi Times.
