Among the arrests made Sunday was a young man named William Ellis, who was picked up in the southwest part of the city for drunkenness.

Ellis was subsequently given seven years at the Jackson (Mich.) pr.ron, which he has served minus good time.

Sloy nnd Miss I tattle peeler, w ho united w ith the church when services wire held In a lo? church on Lafayettc-st., on the present site of Wesley chap l parsonage. Mrs. Catharine Wilkinson, now ninety, three years old. was one of thu pioneer members. This "old folks" meeting promises to be unusually interesting. New Albany Ledger. The Washington Gazette says the officers who arrested Lon Williams, Oscar Ilrown and Pill Kase, on warrants charging them with the murder of the Wrntten family, returned home Saturday night, having left the men In separate cells In the southern prison. The men Insisted on their innocence and there is no doubt but that Urown Is mischarifed. Ho was at South Washington on the night of the murder as can be proven by a half dozen kiukI Citizen. Williams broke down when the prison doors closed on him and declared that he has no knowledge whatever of the crime. He says he was at home when the murder was committed. Kase informed the officers that they bad the wrong manthat he had nothing to do with the butchery. It is believed, however, th'at Kase knows more than he seems willing to tell and his may be a very important capture. Oscar Damall, the suicide, was burled at Jamestown Thursday afternoon. Miss Tillle Magers, the victim of hU murderous assault, Is Improving and will, it Is thought, recover. Coroner E. C. Wills of Hendricks county found that Darnall came to his death by a pistol in his own hand. The Jamestown Journal throws the following light on the unfortunate affair: "We have learned einee th special that she was deceived from belnnlng to end. He promised that they would go f North Salem, take the train for Illinois and get married. The Idea of gxdng to Darnall's farm was to change horses so that no one would know how they had gone. It is believed that the was chloroformed, for she did not know what transpired from the time they arrived at Darnall's farm until she was shot about 3 o'clock in the morning. It is not known why he shot her, or why she was cut on the neck. No doubt Tlllle was honest in her desire to become the wife of young Darnall and anticipated no wrong." For many years, until quite recently, there was a character In the Jefferson county asylum familiarly known ss "Standing Dick," says the Madison Courier, a name given to the man on account of a peculiar habit he had of taking a position on the roadside near the poor farm and standing there all day long. A few years Hgo this man, whose name Is Dixon A. Irwin, was sent to the state asylum for the insane at Indianapolis, where he is at present confined. Irwin was a soldier in the war for the union, and Is nfty-two years old. He Is a native of Monroe township, In this county. Thirteen years ago Mr. Daniel H. Demaree, our present county treasurer, was appointed his guardian by Judge Allison, then presiding Judge of this district, and application was made for a pension, which has Just been allowed at tho following rate: From Sept. 6, 1803. until Sept. 1. 1870, $4 per month; from Sept. 1. 1870, until June 4. 1872. $15 per month; from June 4, 1S72. until March 3, 1883. $15 per month; from March 3, 1RS3, until the present date, and from this time forward. $24 per month. His first payment will, therefore, be $5,955.03. Irwin has a divorced wife and two daughters in Kansas. The daugh

ters will receive the benefit of the pension. Mr. Demaree gives bond In the case for $12,000. A suit that promises to create intense interest among inhabitants of western Henry county, and cause more than passing notice elsewhere, was filed Tuesday, says the New Castle People's Press. Mellin McCormack, owner of the building sent skyward at Kennard last Thursday night has sued thirteen citizen of that place for $1.000 damages. The defendants are among the most substantial citizens of that town. In his complaint the plaintiff avers that he is the owner of the destroyed house, which was worth $500, and had leased it to Frank Crlssom for one year to be used for a liquor 6aloon, pool and billiard room; that when Crlssom hauled his stock Into town the defendants, with divers others, did unlawfully excite and create a mob, and for the purpors of preventing Crlssom from occupying: the house that they rang a church bell as a signs 1 to congregate, and all the school children, led by their teacher, marched up; that Crlssom, with all his stock, was compelled to leave town, placing a guard around the house until about midnight, when it was destroyed. Both fides have retained able levral talent and propose to prosecute the suit to the bitter end. Mrs. David Lough, who resided a few miles southeast of this city, felt a deep Interest in the education of colored children, and in 1863 made a will bequeathing to the schol board of the city of Richmond $1,000 to be used exclusively in the education of children in the colored schools of this city. At the time the will was made there were separate schools for colored pupils, but at Mrs. Lough's death, which occurred two years ago, the colored schools had been abolished, but as she had made no change In the will the money was turned over to the school board, subject to the original wish of the donor. Her sister, who is executrix of her estate, suggested to the school board that the best manr.:r in which the money could be applied to meet the wishes of the donor would be to invest it in books, and establish a library In each of the colored churches of the city, the books to be for the exclusive use of colored people. The board, although not fully convinced that this was the best use of the money, from the fact that the libraries would necessarily be small, and without a librarian the books would soon be scattered, scquisccd In the arrangement, ond Timothy Nicholson was appointed custodian of the fund. Richmond Telegram. Some months ago, near Ropgjitown, the endneer of a freight train on the F.. F. A M. branch of the F.lg Four discovered an obstruction on the track nhid of him. It proved to be a lot of stones, crosstles and salt barrels, so placed that unless discovered a disastrous wreck would have occurred. The obstruction was removed and the train passed on to Its destination In safety. Detective drady of the pig Four, with the assistance of others, arrested (lecr.ie Cutslnger nnd Hufus Shuck. They were brought to this city, taken before Squire. Louden and plead guilty to mallrious trespass and placing the obslructlon on the track. Th next grand Jury very properly indicted them. On Monday. Cutslnger was put on trial and It was agreed that whatever verdict the Jury returned as to him would also apply to Shuck. Two days were spent In hearing evidence. The defendant virtually admitted all the facts In the Indictment and the prosecution worksd hard for conviction. The case went to the Jury In the afternoon. After nipper the defendant's attorney. Mr. Rockingham of Franklin, asked the Judge to call In the jury and Instruct them to find his client guilty nnd fix the ieiialty at two years. The Ju1ge refused and a little later the Jury gave a verdict of not qullty. Bhelbyvl.U Kepubllcan. J. T. McCall. an ex-Anderson real estate man. Is Involved in a queer transaction, which came to light Monday. A dav or two sgo he came to this city from Sulphur Springs with a car load or two of baled hay. The hay had been loaded nt Sulphur Springs and consigned to him nt this point. Monday he called upon the livery stables and feed stores and trh-d to fell It. but succeeded In disposing of a few bales only. Mls Jennie McCall. his sinter, who lives near New Cap tie, came to Anderson nnd told the police the object of her visit. She said that her brother had taken a lot of baled hay off her farm near Newcastle and shipped it to this city, nnd that he was then In town trying to dispose of It. Sorgt. Larue at once took steps to locate McCall and last evening he was picked up on the. streets and taken to Jail. After he was arrested Miss MeCall declined to prosecute him, and finally prevailed upon the sheriff to simply keep him about the lall and not lock him up. This morning she Instituted proceedlnrs to replevin the hay. Three cars loaded with baled hay were found In the Pan-Handle yards. McCall denies that he took the hay away without authority and says h will be able to show that at least half of the hay Lflonfs to him. It Is not likely that any prosecution will follow as Miss McCall now has possession of the disputed hay. Anderson Democrat. The Muncle Herald has this to pay with reference to the situation there: "The dllly dally process that has been going on for two months to stamp out the malady In Muncle has finally taken a turn, and such measures have been adopted that will bring the disease to an end in short order. The few coses that broke out early last week awakened our citizens to such an extent that the popular demand was for our older physicians and business men to gst together and gt to work systematically and end the curse that has been running hleh handed In our community. An we Mated before we have had but few deaths and comparatively few patients who have been critically 111, and at no time have circumstances been such as should alarm any one or cause any person to remain away from the city. Yet conditions have been such that a general was needed at the head, and old heads for council. The malady has been allowed to smoulder and occasionally creep out In new quarters to such an extent that It was very evident that the work was not being perfectly done. Not because It was not the deplre of persons In charge and the health officer who hHd the reins of management to stamp the malady out. The forces that are now called In assistance should have been the council at the start and taken the management, but from some cause such was not done. It Is no use to grieve over spilled milk, but always hope for the better. We feel now that confidence la fully restored and that the management will be such that Muncle will be on her feet again In a short time." The Wratten butchery and subsequent events continue to be the most popular theme and it Is paramount to all other things talked about. There Is much speculation as to the amount of money the old mother of Denson Wratten must have had at the time of her death. Her husband, Samuel Wratten. was a member of company a, Forty-second regtment Indiana Volunteers, Cspt. Joshua A. Palmer's company, and he received wounds at the battle of Lookout Mountain, Nov. 23, 1863, which resulted in his death three days later. So far as the history of that company ts concerned Samuel Wratten's bones rest In an unknown grave. Shortly after that time Klizabeth Wratten began drawing $3 for herself and $2 a piece for her two children and her pension continued until about seven years ago when she was granted an Increase to $12 a month. She must have drawn from the government all told about $4.000. She was known to lt some of her money out on interest and it Is probable that she received considerable of her income in that way. And Elizabeth Wratten was a very energetic old lady. . She raised pigs and chickens, it is said to support herself the last years and It may be that, at the time of her death, she had hid away In her little bed-room no less than $3.000. Two or three persons who have known her intimately for a number of years insist that the old lady had no less than $2,000 while others believe that she had at least $2.500 cash. Hr habits were such that instead of spending her money she would add to it. Therefore there is a very strong probability that the desperate fight which she made with her assasla was to protect, not only the

A sudden and decidedly unexpected turn In the Armstrong emlx zzlcmcnl cases struck the public Saturday aftcr noon. At non Saturday Sheriff Sim. mons was called to Tipton by telegraph on business connected with the case and was there Informed that all the Indictments against Ca I Armstrong and one sgalnt his father had b'm dismissed on account of technical defects. In the absence of Prosecutor pyke nt the wrld"s fair Attorneys J. A. Swovcland. U. II. Peauchamp. W. W. Mount and (J. H. Clifford, who had been engaged to assist In prosecuting the Armstrongs, quashed the indictment agilnt Frank Hays nnd after deliberation reached the agreement that both the bills n trains t Cal Armstrong and one of the four araJnt James K. were defective and would not stand In court. The Indictment were therefore stricken from the record. The prisoners derive no direct benefit from this, its they were ordered to remain in custody w here they now ure. unless they art al-le to give the required bond, $2rt,000 In Cal's case and $10.000 for Ms father. It Is thourht the old Kentleman may be able to secure bond, thouKh that Is by no means certain. Cal will have a good long wait as both are held to the next grand Jury In Tipton, which docs not meet until the latter part of November. Cal when Informed of the action of the state's attorneys in dismissing the indictments, expressed great disappointment. "I was greatly in hope that 1 could be tried this term and have done with the matter. I don't like the Idea, of lying In Jail another two months, waiting for a hearing of my case. It Is tt bitter disappointment to me." Kokomo Tribune. Tin: ihmcon cash. It Is Said Husband nnd Wife Will lie Heconclled. NHW YORK. Oct. 15.
