At Rix. hitter in the circuit court a question was decided of wide interest to Indiana p-jople. An action was brought to re-strain Ih auditor from placing on the dupil at" f r taxation whit is known as paid-up stock. in uildlng and loan associations, and the court held that such stock l3 exempt from taxation under the statute. The result of this decision. If upheld by the supreme court, will be farreaching, as there are millions of dollars invested in such stock. The barn of John Tennis, who lives in the vicinity of Hymera, in Jackson tt.wnhip, was destroyed by fire last Thursday night. With the barn were burned five head of horses, hay. corn, a lot of farm implements, etc. The frequency with which barns are burned in this countv indicates a bad condition of things, and we learn that the insurance companies are not disposed to take risks on barns unKss the dwelling is included iu the iolicy. Sullivan Ieniocrat. A bad boy at Laporte has made it a practice to stone horses as they are being driven along the street. The other day he sttticd the horse of Mr. Kaher and also the horse of two ladies. For this offense Mr. Kabor jrave him a thrashing with his bugsy whip, and for doing this a justice lined him $3 and costs. Mr. Kaber violated the law in whipping the boy. hut it was a justifiable violation, and the people of La port e should have promptly paid his tine and costs for him. fbvhen Times. J. W.

Recently a farmer informed u.i tint there was conjdierahle work to be had in the country if men would work at farm wages, which includes board and v. ashing. Goshen News. A Princeton dispatch Fays that Mrs. Albert Tiehenr of that city suddenly became insane at Chicago Friday and was brourht home Saturday. She is a niece of Thomas Jones of Montgomery township, wh . accompanied by her son, went to the opening of the Cherokee strip, and both became insane. They were hroujht Lack a few days ago. That all of the.m are now insane is a singular coincidence. Mrs.-Tiehenor left Princeton f. r Chi .ego Monday and it is thought that th scenes at the world's fair caused derangement. The death of the Rev. Mr. Fottit, the wife murderer, in the prison north, imnvdiatt ly f -j lie i wed the granting of a new trial by th supreme court, recalls that throe of the prominent attorneys in the original trial of the case, together wilii several of the witnesses and one ff the jurors, have died fdnee I'ettit was adjudged guilty of wife poisoning.

Engineer Thomas Danver of Wafhing- ; ton. whov-e remains were buried here . with masonic honors from the residence ; of Daniel Lester yesterday afternoon, was a native of Kdinbur?. but for a long time he was a prominent and highly esteemed resident of Seymour. As a trainman he was popular and efllcient to an unusual degree, and in every way he was an uprisrht man, a pood citizen and an earnest Christian. His death is deplored by many who had learned to esteem him for his worth, and the condolence extended to the bereaved ones is , g-eneral and A'ery sincere. Seymour Demi ocrat. J A farmer stepped up to the window : of the Chicago & Erie ticket office last nighf and asked for thr?e tickets to the world's fair. After ensjanins' In conversation with him he stated that this was his first experience on board of a railroad train since the year lie had taken a short trio over the B. & O. railroad in that year, but had never been on any I kind of railroad since. This shows that i we still have a few Americans that are 1 not up to the modern improvements after all, but that the world's fair arouses I animation in all of them to note the progj ress of the peopie of the age. Marion j Star. I Presley Givens, who lately sold his farm south of the city and purchased one near Uoyleston, Is something of a farmer. On the F.oyleston farm were fifty-three acres which he desired to sow in wheat, and although It was late In j the year, on last Monday morning he , put seventeen team3 at work, plowing, roll ins:, harrowing: and petting the ! pround ready for sowinp, and at dark j Thursday the work was finished and the I entire field eowed in wheat. The farm- ! ers In that neighborhood say the work was done very fast and the sight of so many teajs and men working In one fiel 1 an unusual one. Frankfort Crescent. Feter- Wendle. a respectable German farmer who, with his family, lived near Ft. Recovery, is dead. Last Sunlay he took his wife to Ft. Recovery, to take the train for Celina, where a child of a married on of the old couple is lying quite sick, and the old pentleman returned home. Sxm after leeching h'me he took two tthite powders from his pocket, told the children he believed he would take them and put htinrelf out of the way, and taking a cup of water he went out to the barn with ihepowdeis in his hand. Shortly after. he came into the house and was taken violently ill and died shortly after Dr. Snipps of Ft. Recovery had arrived in respor.se to an urgent summons. Portland Sun. R-mben Long of Pat oka township was In the city recently. He is now ninetyyears old, and aside from the fact that he is partially paralyzed, is in good health for a. man of his ae. He came to this county from Richmond, Va.. nearly seventy years ago, and is the pioneer land-clearer of the present site of IVterrburg.

Hut not so. The prices stiy right there, ar.d although but few farms have changed hai.d lately, excellent prices were paid in every instance. It seems evident that people at length begin to realize that no better farm land can be found than In thH county, and an Investment in any part of Renten is a safe one. Evidently good prices have come to stay. honton Review. Dr. and Mrs. M. Mahln of Tipton wilt celebrate their poliien wr-ddintr anniversary on th- 31st Inst. Dr. Mahln was admitted intu the Indiana conference, methodist episcopal church, in October! 1S41, when he wns Fea reply seventeen years old. He was ordnined in lSf. and the same year he married Mis Eliza beth Dorscy of Dearborn county. All of the yer.rs intervening he has been in th active ministry, and hn Ia tili hale and vigorous, mentally and physically. Dr. Ma.h in was p.ttor of the methodist episcopal church in this city some years fisro and he and his estimable wife have many wnrm friends hre who will congratulate them rn their golden wedding: d.iy. lluntlnston Democrat. Saturday nljjht the liev. R. Schwortzho of Pierre Leone, Africa, delivered an ablvj and interesting lecture on the habits, manners and customs ot his country. He ?poke of Stanley, and denounced him for the many false- statements in his book, and also denounced many of the mir-sion-aiies rent th"re, and Faid, that instead of civilizing the natives, they only came to debauch them and speculate. He said Livingston van the man the natives loved axid admired. He said though the natives over there went almost in a nude state, they entertained a high idea of chastity, and that missionaries and other foreigners who came there for debauchery were prved like colored men who attempted the same thing with the white raco hre shot down. Columbus Times. About four miles southeas-t of Hartford City lives Michael Phillips and with him stays bis nephew, who now lies at the point of death from a pistol shot wound at the hands of his uncle. The boy, who s some eighteen years of age, went to town Friday night and coming home late found the family ad"pp. Ooing out into the barn be startled the chickens into a loud and cotninuod snuaklng and Philips, thinking to frighten th thief he supposed was there, opened the window and fired toward dhe barn. The report was echoed by the Fcream of his nephew, arid poinpr out he found the lad lying In a pool of blood flowing from a wotlnd near the left ej-e, which will doubtless cost him the slpht of that ey and may result In hia death. Portland Sun. The death of William F. Pettit In prison is, let us hope, the concluding Koene of one of the saddest tragedies that thljt or any other community has ever known. There was not one redeeming feature in the whole miserable business, from beginning to end. The Call will not harrow up the feelings of its readers and friends by rehashing its details. They are already, alas! too well known to everybody. Let the mantle of charity fall. Guilty or Innocent, he has pone to answer before a judge who knows all, and whose Judgments never err. The world probably knows all that it will ever know concerning this heart-breaking tragedy; It Is one of those unfathomable secrets which, in all probability, will never be solved. Lafayette Call. The home for feeble-minded children at Ft. Wayne is said to be In a prospering condition under the management of Alexander Johnson. A farm of 160 acres has been leased for the home, and is located a mile and a half from it. Superintendent Johnson will place upon it about twenty boys and a herd of thirty cows, which will tesult in a paving of $.'5,00 a year to th school on item of milk. There are 44 children In the hom at present, the largest number in the history of the Institution. There are fifty or sixty a pplica tion now on tile for admission, and the number is increasing. As foon as the firm la in operation there will b room for twenty more children. Marlon county has forty feeble-minded youth in the home. Henry county has t'venty-one, Hamilton elven, and nix counties In the state have no representation. There ere eighteen counties which havj only one child ca.h tliere. These counties villi

small or no representation are i receiving the preference In admission. County officials. Mr. John- j son si.ys, are not giving the weak-minded enough attention. If each county had Its quota the nome would have a population of about 1.5D0. The children were recently vaccinated, and there are over 4r) sore arms In the school. Lojansport Fharos. Saturday Jacob Sehwartzman, while out walnut hunting, climbed a tree near the Coyd school house to shake down the nuts to his son and W. H. Penser, who were with him. - After he had shaken all the nuts off he started to climb down, but lost his footing in some way and fell a distance of twenty-five feet. He lit on hl3 face and bead. His lower jaw was broken in three places, and both arms were broken at the waist, and the bones of the left arm protruded through the skin, making an ugly wound. He was brought home in an unconscious condition, and did- not fully rally from the shock until Sunday afternoon. Hancock Democrat. X.ugust Krause, the man who has the contract for removing the bodies from the old cemetery at Laporte, cam across a metallic eofTin the other day, the Herald says, which, with the remains it inclosed, seemed to bs in a fine stafe of preservation. The body which it contained was that of S. A. Trowbridge, who died Nov. 23. 1552, aged twentythree years. Mr. Krause has removed the remains from 403 graves. In some of the latter only a few bone are left. There are a great many skulls to be seen, and In one grave he found the perfect skeleton of a child that had been dead fifty-eight years. Two wooden coffin were exhumed which were in a good state of preservation. Prettily gowned girls, handsome women and chivalrous knights were present at the ball given Tuesday night by the K. of P. lodge in their new hall. About six ty couples were In the opening march." Added to this were the spectators, who swelled this number to almost ninety couples. There was but a slight intermission after each dance, and the different numbers were danced with a spirit of enthusiasm and enjoyment that were very conspicuous. The twenty dances in the regular program were not sufficient, and when an especially pleasing one was played it was followed by such an impressive clapping of hand3 that it had to be repeated. This made the program longer, and it was about 2 o'clock when the hnll was at last forsaken by the dancers. Marlon Chronicle. An annual excursion to the wilds of Arkansas seems to have become an established custom with the sportsmen of this vicinity. The rule is to go by rail to Foplar Lluffs. Mo., there build a boat and float down Rlaek river into Arkansas until the "happy hunting grounds" are reached, when the party po3 into camp, and fish in the river, ihoot squirrels and "lay" for deer.

For a family of 127 persons, which in'1 tides the parents, children, grandehil-dren-and prcat prnndeblldren. to. come toKethpr in u reunion, and none absent, is something unusual, but such an occasion occurred on Saturday, at the old homestead of Mr. and Mrs. Christian Meht. in Clinton township, who have lived as mm and wife for Ilfty-ttvo lonsr years, and happy and prosperous ones. A sumptuous dinner wns served and with p,.-che, singinjr And so dal Intercourse the day was passed in a manner that will always be rememlered as one of the most happy ones in the history of the family. Th Revs. J. C. Mehl and Danll Miller made very felielttous addresses and good cheer prevailed In all the doings. The aged couple are highly respected people, and their many friends will cordially wish them many years of life and happiness so well earned. (Joshen News. The work at the canning factory will close with the end of this week, and the result of the first year's work has been satisfactory notwithstanding the drouth an:l other causes. The business done by the company is probably larger than many would suppose. The figures given are as nearly correct as It Is possible to give when an estimate is made. One thousand five hundred wagon loads of tomatoes have been received, and from these about six hundred and fifty thousand cans have been sealed, besides 1,300 barrels of catsup have been made. All these tomatoes were needed to fill the orders already received. One hundred and two thousand cans of peas have been put up, a part of which have been sold, but the most is being held. Seven-ty-five thousand cans of corn complete the canned list. The pay-ndl for the summer has averaped over V. 00 a week, the company employing from 100 to 3."j0 persons. The highest roll for one week was over 11.400. Franklin Democrat. The Michigan City News, speaking ot Pettit's death and prison life, says: "In his prison lifo I'ettit never referred to his case. He was reticent in this and displayed anxiety only for a new trial, In which he hoped to prov his innocence. Ho seemed devoted to the memory of his departed wife, with whose murder he was accused, and greatly wrapped up in his only child, a daughter aged about twelve years, residing with his mother in Oswego, N. Y. A few weeks ago in a confidential conference with Warden French he made his last will and expressed a deSire to be buried beside his wife. Shortly after death, a key to a box belonging to the deceased was given to Warden French, who opened the box. In it was found only a few personal effects, among which was a beaxitlful bible, pictures of deceased's wife, daughter, and other evidences of apparent devotion to them. Death has endd all. Let the poor man rest In peace." The women Judges cf awards at the world's fnlr have presented Mrs. Virginia C. Meredith with a beautiful watch studded wRh diamonds.

Richmond Independent. j When a dissipated youth goes astray, says the Warsaw Times, friends gather around him in order td restore him to j the path of virtue. Gcntler.ess and kindness are lavished upon him to win him j back to innocence and peace. No one , would ever suspect that he had ever ; sinneu. But when a poor, confiding girl : is betrayed, she receives the brand of 1 society, and is henceforth driven from I the ways of virtue. The base betrayer j is honored, respected ard esteemed: but I his poor, ruined, broken-hearted victim knows there Is no rest for her this side . of the grave. Society has no helping hand for her no smile of peace no j voice of forgiveness. These earthly .j mortalities they are unknown of heaven. There Is a deep wrong in them and fearful are .the consequences. This injustice of society is vividly brought to . mind in such cases. j It is- not generally known that the : projector of the wonderful Ferris wheel, which is a great center of attraction at the world's fair, the removal of which to New York city as a permanency was contracted for this week, was the conception of Luther Rice, a young man resident of Ladoga, Ind. Rice is about twenty-seven yerrs of age, but from childhood has evinced the elements ot uncommon ingenuity, an Important outlet for which has been afforded him by the great world's fair. On consummating his plans lor the wheel, he submitted them to a number of Chicago capitalists, when Mr. Ferris became the lucky taker. Financially. Mr. Rice was unable to carry out his project. He had acquired a good English education, and taVen a collegiate course in engineering, apd the last, with natural endowments, rjrved the lucky number. He is now ttty superiritfnding engineer of the wheel at a salary of $1j1 per week. He is a brainy Hooier, whose Invention has afforded unto'd pleasure to millions of visitors. Richmond Item. C. C.

A petition signed by the grocers of the city asked that an ordinance be passed fixing the license at S per day for each person engnped in peddling fruits, vegetable and farm products in (ireencastle, except the farmers and gardeners of i Putnam countv. This was intended to shut out the Indianapolis fruit and vege- I bible peddlers who bring stuff here by the wagon load, much of which Is not in the beei-. condition.

The Indinna Poultry Phlppers association was held here recenUy and the following poultry dealers and shippers from abroad were In attendance: I". C I measure, Krilghtstown; Henry Adams, New Castle; W. II. Barefoot, Cambridge City; A. W. Bradbury, Cambridge City; J. R. Randall. Khelbyville; Thomas D. MoLrin. Sholbyville; S. 11. Grinstead. North Vernon; S. N. Davis, city. J. R. Randall and T. D. McLain are president and sx'retary of the association respectively. A meeting is held once each month and matters of Interest to them and thlr business discussed. At this meeting the one subject of spechl interest under discussion was that of Inducing fanners and poultry rahtrs to raise their standard of stock, and especially to handle what they do raise to better advantage by selling nothing to shippers but good, choice fat stock. It is the poor, scrawny stock that always breaks the market and causes lower prices to rule. This is a subject that has been under consideration for some time, but every possible effort is to be put forth now to try to get the proposition before the farmer. The idea is to sell ths choice fat stock, and thus hold back the scrawny, poor stock until it can be fattened and put upon the market. The "bad egg" question, too, was discussed. There are many rotten epgs placed upon the market, and this is often what breaks the prices, and causes both farmer and shipper to lose money. Columbus Times Some years ago two ladies residing near Chester for . ed a curious partnership. They wen Miss Mary Pickett, sister of A. J. Pickett of this place, and Mrs. Elizabeth Lee, widow of a deceased union soldler. Fach had some property and by the terms of the compact they were to reside together, care for each other in sickness and in health, and in case one should die before the other the survivor should inherit the property. About three and one-half 'years ago Miss Mary Pickett died and was buried in the Quaker cemetery at Chester. Mrs. Lee paid the funeral expenses and put up a monument and assumed ownership of the property of the deceased. Recently some ehanpen have been made in the cemetery and Mrs. Lee was dissatisfied. In consequence thereof she determined to remove the remains of Miss Pickett to the Goshen cemetery and inter them there. She had the monument taken down, when A. J. IMckett heard of It and - went up to Chester and replaced it. He then warned Mrs. Lee not to remove the remains without . consent of the relatives. She paid no heed to the warning and Wednesday hired two neighbors to open the grave. After working at it awhile they herd there was likely to be trouble and abandoned the Job. She then came to this city and hired Peter and Edward Adams to complete the Job. They went at it yesterday afternoon, but a new trouble arose. All the neighbors refused her help and she could not gt a vehicle In which to convey the remains. In the meantime A. J. Pickett had !cen notified and he had filed an affidavit against the trio for grave robbery. Con-sta-We Ren Crump went to Chester and

i. arrested the Adamses, who had Just got ready to remove the coffin. Mrs. Lee had come to town after Downing to haul the remains and Crump found her as he returned to the city with the other two prisoners. Mr. Downing, knowing nothing of the circumstances, had agreed to go up after noon and take the body of Miss Pickett to Goshen. Mrs. Lee was tried Thursday, found guilty by a justice, and bound over to court. Richmond Independent. Wllla Clara Vanlue is only fourteen years of age, but she is evidently bent on seeing the world's fair if it takes the last calf on Farmer Vanlue's f.-rm and though prison gates yawn for her on her return from the great White City. With J63 of her father's savings in her reticule and a fixed determination in her mind, Willa Clara, for all her youth and inexperience, has succeeded in eluding the police of Kokomo and outwitting the constabulary of Greentown. If she has succeeded in evading the Chicago officers, Willa Clara is no doubt at this hour munching antique ham sandwiches in the court of honor, ga7lng on the blue waters of Lake Michigan from the peristyle, or feasting her wondering eyes on the marvels of the midway. Sunday afternoon the girl's father, William Vanlue, a prosperous farmer living a short distance northeast of the city, missed her from home, and a short time thereafter discovered that a sum of money G5 in all which li Ind secreted about, the house, had disappeared with her. The fact that Willa Clara had informed some of the neighbors that he proposed to quit home, ard the further fact that she had been receiving attentions from a young man objecticnable to her parents, led the father to suspect an elopement, in this, however, he was mistaken. Willa Clara had simply gone on a sight-sec-inp tour in this particular Instance very wisely dec-Hard to encumber herself with a young man. Kokomo Dispatch. The news is going the rounds of the press that John Condon, the famous Chicago gambler, who got his start in Rochester, has lost so heavily during the past year that he is practically "gone to tho wail." Condon and Pam Doll commenced their careers of fortune-making at the game table In Logantport and Rochester.

A DESPERATE ENCOUNTER

WHOLESALE PLODERI.XG SCHEME AT SIMMITVILLB THWARTED. Orrr Twenty Shots Eirhancrd la An Eighteen-Foot Room Counterfeiter Arrested and Held for Trial at Ivo Wo mo tli er State Xtw. MARION, Oct. 23. Special. The town of Summitvjile vas the scene last night of a wholesale attempt at plunder and destruction. About six weeks ago a man named George Straud went to Summitvlile from Orestes, near Alexandria, and secured a position as night watchman. About ten days ago he divulged to a number of merchants a well-pianned scheme fov burglarizing and burning a number of business establishments at that place. He had been admitted to their councils, and was thoroughly informed as to their plans. What was his original purpose in joining the gang is said to be in doubt, but at any rate he gave the scheme away. Different dates had been set for the raid, and the general stores of Wilkins, Rosebaum and McNabney, three different establishments, were selected for pillage. After they had been depleted as far as possible of their contents, they were to be burned to conceal the crime. At each time set for the raid up to last night one obstacle or another appeared, and the attempt was postponed. The merchants had been on the alert, and it Is supposed that the surface indications were not encouraging to the marauders. Last night, however, they appeared. All the foregoing establishments were well guarded, but the Wlikins store being the first to be visited. Amos Coburn, deputy sheriff, stationed himself there and awaited the onset. Pat Hannon and D. Fennimore were also present. About 1 o'clock a window in the rear of the building was raised and the body of Frank Goodmnn was half through it when Deputy Sheriff Coburn ordered him to throw up his hands. Instead of that Goodman began to pour the contents of a revolver in Coburn's neighborhood. The latter had two revolvers, and the three were emptied before the burglar retreated. When he did retire he carried a bullet wound in the abdomen, from which he Is not expected to live. Coburn also received a shot, which skirted toe abdomen. Inflicting a trifling wound. Coburn was hit by the first shot fired by Goodman, and it is the first discharge of his revolver that is supposed to have struck Goodman. Rack of where Coburn stood are ry'ne bullet holes in the wall In a horizontal line not over six feet in lenpth. The window at which Goodman entered is in the side of the building near the rear. The room Is but eighteen feet in width, and between the walls of this room directly opposite each otlier these men emptied their revolvers in one of the most desperate encounters on record. The wonder is that either escaped alive. The walls and the furniture near the window are filled with bullets, and the window is perforated. Over twenty shots were jexchaned at a range of less than el ph teen feet. Goodman was accompanied by Thomas May. who contributed his part to the fusillade, firing a number of shots through the window. He was pursued by members of the Horse Thief detective association, whose services had previously been procured. He was captured after a hot chase and the exchange of a number of shots, In which nohexly was hurt. The prisoners were Immediately started on their way to Anderson, though Goodman was not expected to live to complete tne journey. The rest of the gang escaped in a wafron. There are near a dozen in the organization, according to the statement of the nlpht watchman. About ten days ago, he says, they burglarized and burned a dry goods store and saloon at Dundee. The plunder was hid in a strawstack on a farm belonging to Goodman's father, who, by the way, is known as a reputable citizen and who is supposed to have no con nection with his 6on In his thieving pro clivities. NOTED COlXTKRFKITEnS. Their Arrmt and Preliminary llearInT at Kokomo. KOKOMO. Oct 25. Special. "Buck" Harlan and Steve Ttinebolt. the counterfeiters arrested by United States Marshal Hawkins and Secret Service Officer Carter last nlpht, were arraJpned before Deputy United States Commissioner H. F. Elliott in this city this afternoon. Rinebolt was held to the federa.1 grand jury la $1,000 bail, in default of which he was taken to the Hamilton county Jail at Noblesville. The case against Harlan was, on motion of District Attorney Burke, continued to Nov. 10, when he will have a haring before Commissioner Elliott. His bail was fixed at J1.000 and was given by bis mother Mrs. Rebeccah Harlan of Tipton county. He was immediately rearrested by a IocjU officer on a charge of carrying concealed weapons. When taken last . night he hid two dangerous looking weapons on Vi nraon. Harlan was aiTaJened in J ?"ayor Thorpe's court this evening and pleaded guilty to the concealed weapon charge. He was flne-d J16 and the magistrate refused to accept Mrs. Harlan as security for the fine. This was what the officers wanted- The purpose was to keep Harlan in custody until a search of his house in Shelby county could be made, and by separating him from Rinebolt It is believed a confession from the latter will be secured. Marshal Hawkins Is convinced that Harlan is making some of the best counterfeit dollars, halves and quarters that have ever been used In this part of the country. He has been twice convicted of counterfeiting, escaping ence with a suspended sentence, and the next time with two years. He formerly lived at Sharpsville in Tipton county, where he is regarded as a very bad man. A few years ago he settled in Shelby county on a farm near the home of his somewhat noted brother-in-law, "Rabe" Hawkins. He came on a visit to Sharpsville six weeks ago and since that time hundreds of dollars worth of bogus coin have been w&rked off In that community. Lew Harlan, a brother of "Buck," made his escape when Ruck" was arrested. He has been located and will they have a geiod lead on a gang of clever counterfeiters, and other arrests will doubtless follow. MARRIAGE NOT A FAILURE.
