The work of * macadamizing Main and Division streets has progressed rapidly this week and nearly all of it will be completed by to-night if good weather continues. This is is going to be a handsome street, one of the prettiest in the city, and if the rook is thick enough to withstand the heavy hauling that is done on it—which some people seem to doubt, the coarse rock only being about 3or 4 inches deep—it is not likely the citizens along there will regret the expense. Main street is 100 feet in width, and the improvement is 40 feet, leaving some 26 feet of grass plot on each side between the roadway and the sidewalks. »

A Washington dispatch says: Influential friends in Indiana and Washington are trying to obtain an appointment for Judge Palmer, of Monticello, to a Federal judgeship in Alaska.

SLAYERS OF SHERIFF OGLESBY.

Webb and Smith, the surviving hoboes who were implicated in the murder of Sheriff Oglesby at Winamac recently, have been taken from Knox to Michigan City for safe keeping, on order of Judge Nye. The man Jwho fired the shot that laid Sheriff Oglesby low and who later died from a bullet wound inflicted upon him by the dying sheriff, has been found to be Patrick Sullivan, says the Starke County Republican. His people reside in Canada and are well respected and prominent. Sullivan had not visited bis home in a dozen years, but his people knew be bad developed into a bad man. Minnie Webb, sister of Frank Webb, came down from South Bend Thursday to see him. Miss Webb is a well educated young woman and holds a responsible position as stenographer in a large manufacturing concern at South Bend. As the poor girl caught sight of her beother within the steel cage she exclaimed, “Oh, Frank, so you are in trouble again!” Webb was considerably affected by the visit of his sister. He had no excuses to make for bis present plight, but in the course of the brief conversation Webb said: “Well I had just as well be in the penitentiary anyway. I have always been in trouble.” And so it seems. Frank Webb is the one black sheep in the Webb home. He has a weak face which not only shows the lack of will power but shows the criminal disposition. In the hands of such men as sullivan and Smith and the others of the Allison crowd of cut-throats he has become as desperate and as hardened as any of them. It now develops that before Oglesby died he stated that Webb was the first one of the crowd to fire upon him, the bullet however, missing its mark. After shooting at the sheriff Webb started to run, whereupon the sheriff fired the shot that hit Webb in the back. While Sullivan’s bullet is the one that fatally wounded the sheriff, yet Webb’s attempt upon the life of the sheriff will make him equally guilty with the dead desperado in the sheriff’s death.
