The deceased was one of the old ; settlers and very highly respected. He had been on tne de-line for several years, but was not thought to be in a dangerous condition. He was sitting in his accustomed place m-ar the lire when a member of the household saw him pitch forward, striking hi face on the stove. He died in a few seconds.

During Sunday morning services at the methodiet pistpal hurch at Columbus, Ind., the Rfv. Mr. Marlott, the pastor, said muny of hs members had received circulars embracing eighty uestions, challenging the faith-teachings and history of the method ist episcopal church. He stated that on two other occasions tdmilar circulars had been Fcattered amongst tlr congregation. One of the question contained in the circular sys: "1 will give $lw If it is frhown that the name of the methodist episcopal church is derived from the bible." The circular has created e.uite a sensation. Tho greatest snowstorm and blizzard ever witnessed in the city made its appearance last Monday morning. Commencing with a gentle down-eomlug of the "beautiful" as early as 6 o'clock, it continued all day. increasing in force and quantity as the day advanced. Sec-ond-st.. on the eaft?ide. and adjoining the sidewalk, the snow was drifted to a hight of live feet or more, clving it the appearance of a long line of breastworks. Travel by vehicle was suspended entirely and only thoe who had to go out were visible on the streets. The amount of snow precipitated during the day is estimated to be about eight Inches. Decatur Democrat. Frank Best, residing near "Winthrop, Warren county, exhibited a horse on the streets in this citv last Saturday that is certainly the greatest curiosity of the kind on record. No one who noticed the animal ever saw anything like it before, instead of its body being covered with hair like that on an ordinary animal, it is covered with wool. There is no mistake about this fact. As one bystander remarked, '-lt looks like wool, it smells like wool by g it is wool." This wool is about on-half Inch in length, very curly, and a black color. The animal is highly prized by its owner, and would make a drawing attraction for a side-enow. Fountain-Warren Democrat. Word wa-s received here Friday night that James M. Royd, formerly of this county, had died at his home in New Albany. The deceased at oive time was a prominent school teacher of this county, having been a teacher in the city schools here, also principal of the Odon schools. He went to New Albany in S2 and has served there as principal of rne of th" ward schools ever since, doing splendid work in his chosen vocation. He was a son of ex-Commissioner William Royd of Madison township, now dead, and had many relatives and friends in this county. The deceased was tubout thirty-seven years of age, and enjoyed the esteem and confidence of all. Washington Democrat. Congressman Rietz has received information that the war department records show that Lieut. XV. XV. Kendall, late of company A, Forty-nineth Indiana volunteers, and now the efficient county assessor of Dubois county, is entitled to one of the medals of honor authorized by act of congress approved March H, lSt".:t. to be given to soldiers distinguishing themselves for conspicuous bravery and gallantry in action. Eieut. Kendail will receive his for most distinguished service at the battle of RIack liver bride, Mississippi, fought May 17, 1S;: against Forest's command. The medal is now being engraved at the war department and will le forwarded to EieUt. Kendall when completed. Jasper Courier. The merchants of Igansrorti rnd "ther cities f .r that matter, are buncoed out of hundreds of dollars annually by advertising fakirs. The directory lake, the hangar fake, the picture ;'ake, the stereopticon fake, the l.ill-board fake and a hundred other fakes are rtpeated on business men year in and car cut. and the money might as well be burned up as far as the letutn it '-rings them. Even newspapers tngage in the b';nco business, and because merchants reap no benefit from the money expended in fraudulent schemes, thy lose faith in advertising and denounce the whole business. Legitimate newspaper advertising is the only means of reaching the- people. It has been tested in a thousand ways. Logansport Pharos. "ret," th faithful old mare of Dr. Ensminger, died recently of injuries received last Sunday while playing in his barnyard. For the past year Pet had been on th' retired list, and well had she merited the reward of rest. She was twenty-.-ix years old and for the past twenty-three years had le?n in the doc tor a service, always w illing. always gen- ; tie, always a model horse. Her life was not one spent in vain and many men have passed away after longer lives and less service to the world. In fair or stormy weather the was always the same, daytime or nighttime hurrying the physician to the bedside of pain and sickness. Ib-p ijft. c,f fidelity might well stand as an example to m.tny of us for what of worth and gentleness it illustrates. Crawfordsville Journal.

Mr. Jackson has been ailing for several weeks from enlargement of ths liver, but his condition was not serious until yesterday, and his sudden death will surprise and shock his numerous friends throughout the city.

address, followed by vocal music from an impromptu quartet. There were many appropriate preseuts delivered. In the evening a bounteous supper was served and the many cakes, meats and other goodies disappearing showed well for the hostess, Mrs. Louisa Kixmocller, as also for the health and appetite of the assemblage.

Washington-id. today, the thoroughfare from the railroad to Main-st. being given up to the happy possessors of fast horses and sleighs. All the gxi goers in town were out and put through their paces before an admiring multitude. Every one had a good time and greatly enjoyed the sport. In most other good towns whenever there com?s a snowfall the city authorities set aside a portion of some good street where the owners of good hors?s and sleighs are allowed to exercise and enjoy Some sleighing at a pace slightly superior to a dogtrot. Every one is aware of the arrangement, and those not wishing to take part in the sport or speeding resort to other streets. This would be a rattling good custom to inaugurate here and would certainly meet with popular approbation. Crawfordsville Journal. One of the saddest deaths ever recorded in southern Indiana was that of Mrs. Clint Malott. the wife of a well-to-do Ftock dealer of Petersburg. Mrs. Malott was standing with her back to a grate, which was tilled with fire. Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock, when her dress suddenly caught fire. She ran to a side door of the house and called to a neighbor. Mrs. Grebs. The poor woman, helpless and alone, next ran to a bed after a blanket to smother the lire. When Mrs. Grebs arrived she found Mrs. Malott lying prostrate on the floor in an unconscious condition. A physician was summoned immediately, but his treatment failed to revive the victim. Mrs. Malott died at 6 o'clock in intense agony. She leaves a husband and two children, the eldest of whom is sixteen years. The deceased was about fortytwo years of age and was a woman beloved by all. Mrs. Malott was a sister of Mrs. Thomas Nepper of Ihis city. Mt. Vernon Democrat. When a man who has occupied so prominent a ositioii in railroad and business affairs as has David J. Mackey, late president of what was known as the Mackev lines, including the L., E. & St. L. railway, the P., D. & F., the E. & T. H.. the E.. ii. & R.. the E. &- S. and the Ohio river roads, becomes embarrassed and has to drop out of all his enterprises it excites a feeling of sympathy among all men whose hearts are in th" right place. Mr. Mackey's embarrassments are so serious as to bring most of the properly held by him und'r execution and final sale by sheriff. Jh is out. of all his railroads, and is a dethroned magnate. He did much for Evanslle. more than any other one man. In tlij- days of his prosperity he gave his w if et deeds t much valuable property. This will be exempt from his creditors and pnay yet le the means of again putting him on his feet in the business world. It is hard to keep down very long man with the energy of David J. Mackey. Washington Democrat. The reporter who visited the home of Miss Gertrude Kelly, on heating of her attempted suicide, came into possession of a rather romantic story, which was referred to recently. Miss Kelly seems to have been deeply in love Avith the young man Chase, who took his own life about two years ugo. and she has evidently never recovered from the loss. Her mother s!i v d the attending physician and the reporter into the parlor and pointed to a large picture standing on an easel in the corner. "That is his picture." she said. "My daughter h.s iiad it enlarged and treasures it h'ghly." The picture showed the features of a goodlooking young man whose sad fate " is doubtless remembered by many citizens. "Why did you attempt suicide?" asked the physician of Miss Kelly. "Recause I am tired and disgusted," she replied. "I do not think life is worth living." "Did you and young Chase have an agreement to kill yourselves?" he a?ain asked. "No," she replied. Miss Kelly is a bright-faced girl, well-proportioned, and would attract attention anywhere. Richmond Item. The constitutionality of the law under which the indictments were found against John S. Reach last September will not be a point at issue in the coming trial. Eight new indictments, returned under the law of 1MU. came from the grand jury room, and the old bills which have caused such mental strains among the constitutional lawyers are no more. As to the legality of the old indictments, the state's attorneys were in doubt, and to remove possibility of defeat before- the trial proier of the case, they causal new ones to be issued. The attorneys now give assurance that they have indictments so framed as to withstand the technical war which will be made against them by Reach's attorneys when the cases are called for trial. Six of the indictments are long, covering from twelve to twenty counts of embezzlements in all manners and styles founded on an act of 1SIU, which provides that deposits received within thirty days prior to assignment shall be deemed prima facia evidence of intent to defraud, and fixing the punishment at not less than two years In the penitentiary and a line of twice the amount proven to have been embezzled. Terre Haute Kxpress. About three miles north of Cherubusco, Ind.. dwells a farmer who has a. farm composed of prairie land. A few years ago he stock",! it with razor-back hogs, letting them run and not even looking after them until six months ago when he concluded to go and drive them to market. He was surprised to lind the yield so enormous and when he approached them h found them so wild that they, could not le domesticate. 1. They were also very r and he concluded to feed them for the market. The more he fed them tiie thinner they lecame. In less than six, months they have consumed 1 .400 bushels of coin ami today they are as lean as church mice. They will not ever make goo.i snap grease. The llesh of these hogs resembles horse flesh. It is as tough as coon skin, and a large sized hog of this species rendered would not make grease enough to fry a Pkillet cf batter cakes. They go through the garden like a Hhovel plow, and no vegetable escape? them. They can crawl through a crack that woukl hardly admit a mouse, and their sharp noses act as levers for garden gates. The neighbors in that part are swearing vengeance and unless he kills them off war will probably b declared. Clinton Argus. That postofilee election at Kendallvills is causing a deal of troubl. In the first place, instead of sending the tallydieets, returns, etc.. to Congressman McNagny. the election olTlcers deposited them "in soinelxxly' barn. Falling to receive these linjortmi documents. Mr. McNaciiy wrote to the candidate receiving a majority of the votes, Jerry Foley, why the papers had i.ot been forwarded. Foley, on receipt of Mi-Nanny's letter, h us tied Ht a lively rate " duel the ret.ms They wci '. as it- ady slated, found in a barn. Foley pu h returns, etc.. Into an envelope and i..Jresed th earn to Mc S'agny. When the document reached Washington lr. MeNagny discovered that they were badly mutilated.

MM and that the envelope e ntained a bill, made out tigainst th" congressman, for the expenses incurred in hohbng this wonderful istol7ic" election. Mr. Mc-N.'-my's feelings may be better imT.i'ined than described. He wrote sharply and pointedly t Mr. Eenrv Ca-r-bep.. o was supposed to have forwarded th document, but who now makes affidavit that le Lad nothing whatever to do with it that all he knew aboi't the matter was that Jerry Foley had shown nim tue return!?, Jk-tc as they were being mailed to Washington. Mr. MeNagny says he will sec that the bill for election expanses is paid in few days. It is a pretty bad mes.s, this postoffiee flection affair, and will I' d end without creating even a mere bitter state of feeling than has existed heretofore. South I'.end Times. The TifTin tO.) Tribune this week contains a long article concerning one Hannah A. Ennis, who is wanted in that city to answer the charge of securing a lot o household goods under false pretenses and shipping them to her son in Walkerton. Ind. In the course of a writeup following the history of the woman, the Tribune says: "It is sail Mr?. Ennis first became notorious when her husband was found one evening hanging to a rafter in their smoke house, dead. Thii. occurred on the farm occupied by the couple near Goshen, lnd. I'po" investigating the matter of her husband's death it was found that the man had been strangled and then hung up to the rafter. The smoke house door was locked from the outside, and in searching her clothe3 the officers found the key to the door in one of the pockets of her dress. She was promptly arrested for the crime, and during her incarceration previous to the trial she threatened that if she was found guilty she would ruin every official in the court house. While the circumstances surrounding the crime were strongly against her, yet, through the efforts of her counsel, she was acquitted. Later she removed with her children to South Rend, where she was again charged with having caused the death of her seven-year-old son by administering poison. She had employed the most eminent counsel in Indiana to defend her in this trial, arid owing to ua efforts she was again given her liberty." It appears that the name of this woman's first husband was Sheatsiey. The News has been unable to find any record in the court here relating to such a tragedy ever happening in this county, and some of the oldest citizens interviewed uion the subject have no recollection of the matter.

The case of the state vs. Morgan Reasley, charged with shooting witn intent to kill, came up in the circuit court this morning. The ojvening statement '" the attorney for the defense brings out for the first time an explanation of a shooting affray that until today lias been h mystery. Last June Reasley was married. In August 1 e and his wile met William M--Millan on the road near their home. Without a w .rd. Reasley got out of the buggy and. approaching McMillan, shot him. The ball took effect in one of McMillan's thighs. He was taken to a neighlx'i'ing house, given attention and asked for an explanation, but would give none. Eensley was equally reticent. Today, according to the counsel for the defense, th- shooting is ascribed to alleged improper proposals made by McMillan to Rtasley's wife. Rrownlee & Renters are counsel for the defense, while C. C.

The election was held under the Australian system am! everything passed off quietly. There were from two to four candidates for each oilice and each one was hustling for votes. Complete returns were not received until this morning, which showed that a -ry large vote was cast, the largest for years. There is considerable talk of fraud in I'.lue River township in th.' way the election boai.l was organized. Some think the township will be thrown out.

ANDERSON. Feb. 13. Special. Little Ethel Gamble, aged eight years, was kidnaped from the Col u bat school building in Hazlewood this afternoon at .1 o'clock by her father. Gustavious Gamble of Poone .county. Arkansas. The abduction was one of the most daring ever attempted in this county and may implicate Chief of Police Walker and Patrolman Pence as patties to the abduction. Eleven years ago Mr. and Mrs. Gamble were married in Arkansas and four years later were divorced, the child b5ing placed by the court in the custody of tho mother, who was later married to her present husband, Charles Nicholson. Upon four different occasions has Gamble tried to obta.in possesion of the child by litigation, but upon eich occasion his wife has been successful as a defendant. About one year ago Nicholson moved here from Davis county and has siinH been living on Forkner-st. Last night Gamble' arrived in this city from Arkansas and this afternoon, by presenting papers, which it is now thought were bogus, obtained the aid of Patrolman Pence in securing the child. They secured a closed cab and drove to the school house where she was attending. She was called from the room and when once out in the hall Gamblo grabbed her, and despite her cries carried her down the stona steps and deposited her in the cab and ordered the driver to go to Pendleton, where he expected to catch the St. Louis limited. The mother heard of the abduction in a few moments and by her attorney caused his arrest at Pendleton just as he was getting on the train. He was brought back to this city tonight and is now behind the bars. Her attorneys will fi a fifteen-thousand-dollar suit against Chief of Police Walker and Patrolman Pence tomorrow morning as being parties to the abduction. ' l'HAI D CM lllilll). ' T Dissatisfaction Couccrniug the 'ticket .Nominate.! in Juhnmiu fount . FRANKLIN, Feb. 1.. Special. Never in the history of Johnson county has there been so much dissatisfaction manifested over the democratic primary election a that held in this county Saturday. The county committee was called to meet today at the court house, which was packed with an angry crowd. So strong are the charges of fraud practiced in Blue River township that the inspectors of Pleasant and Nim-vea townships refused to turn in their tally sheets to the canvassing board until the county committee should decide whether the ticket nr, nominated stand or another primary be ordered. If the committee agreed on the first the vote would be returned; if the latter then they would be entirely withheld. Tho central committee? was called to meet this afternoon in the county sehend superintendent's room and a stormy time was had. The crowd patiently waited their return and decision. Among those here from Edinburg is Will Threlkeld, who addressed the committee in favor of another primary being held. He charges fraud in the selection of the ticket nominated, and he believes that under the circumstances every man thereon should ask to be set right through another primary. Three-fourths of the crowd here today make angry expressions over the ticket and the light and ill-feeling aroused is spreading. At Edinburg this mcrning a petition containing many names was being circulated calling on the democratic county committee to call another primary. The Blue River democracy is badly worked up and frauds of the most gigantic kind are openly charged by some of the best men of the township. W. M. Neal was given six votes, but Edward Cutsinger has the names of forty men who will make affidavit that they voted for him. Although O. XV. Tingle had no opposition, the board awarded him fifty-two votes. The talk today was to have the Blue River vote thrown out altogether. CONDEMNED TIIE ROAD LAWS.
