The Pational Buuner Bee e T J. B. STOLL, Editor and Proprietor, LIGONIER, FND.. MAY 7th, 1874, THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. - Elections for municipal officers were held in incorporated towns of Indiana on Monday, and in cities. on Tuesday. The contest in many localities was unusually exciting and drew out pretty near a full vote. The temperance question entered very largely into the contest, but from the meager returns 8o far received it would be difficult to determine - definitely which side of that question received the strongest popular endorsement, - ‘ TowNs.—Winchester and Lebanon - elected temperance tickets by decisive . majorities. The town of Elkhart, where the ladies guarded the polls all day, the temperance ticket beat the * opposing ticket “all hollow.” Warsaw did the same thing by over 200 majority, which result created great rejoicing among the crusaders. Hartford, in an exciting contest, |decided against the crusaders by 65 majority. , At Waterloo the temperance question - was made a direct issue, the anti-cru-saders electing their entire ticket by an average majority of over 100.— Angola, too, rendered a similar decision, after an unusually bitter contest. ;. - Auburn, for the first time in eight ; years, elected a democratic ticket « (pledged to improvement and progress) by-an average majority of 34. Noblesville, polling a larger vote than ever before, defeated the crusaders’ ticket by 108 majority. el " Crries.—LaPorte elected four democratic and one republican council- ~ men, the anti-crusaders generally supporting the democratic nominees. . . .. (GGoshen, after a most exciting contest, was captured by the crusaders, their candidate for Mayor, Geo. ‘Freeman, defeating Gen. Milo S. Hascall, and nearly all the crusade candidates coming out victorious. There is great reJoicing among the crusaders, who celebrated their vietory in the evening. ....The result in Ft. Wayne is somewhat mixed. Insome wards the temperance question was made an issue, ~ in others personal fitness seemed to be the chief consideration. Tetnper--ance, anti-temperance, independent and democratic candidates for councilmen were elected.. ...Lafayette elected four Democrats, one Republican, and one (German temperance man "as members of the council, leaving . the political complexion of that body- ¢ unchanged. ... Most important and significant is the result in Indianapolis, Here the Democrats and antitemperance men elected nine councilmen against five Republicans. . This ~ gives the Democrats six majority in the council, and places the munieipal government under complete democratic control, for the first time in 18

years. It is generally believed that the Democrats will now. carry Marion county next-fall, and théreby redeem a congressional district and probably the State. ... Wabash elected the entire temperance ticket by large majorities. Great - rejoicing.. ... Richmond," the home of Baxter, elected one democratic and o6ne independent councilman, thus creai‘_injg,r "a tie, and destroying the republican majority . ... Madison, - for the second time in the history of the city, elected.a republican Mayor and an equal number of Republicans -and Democrats as councilmen.....ln Huntington the anti-crusaders elected the Mayor and . all the councilmen by majorities ranging from 25 5050, .00 Peru deféated the’temperance ticket by about 200 majority. The- result was greeted with firing 6f cannon and ringing of bells.... New Albany elect‘ed four crusaders and two anti-crusa-ders as councilmen. The'temperancé " men now control the council. ... .In ‘Terre Haute neither the Democrats nor Republicans ventured straight nominations. Four couneilmen on the Citizens’ ticket and one on the . Workingmen’s ticket carried the day. Temperance not a direct issue...... The Democrats elected nearlytheir ,-entire ticket in Jeffersonville, by about 200 majority....ln South Bend i«the People’s ticket, headed by Mayor - Millér, is theught to be elected. The fight was unusually bitter, and a very - large vote was polled. i

Hon. N! O. Ross, of Peru, is urged as a suitable candidate for Supreme Judge on the Democratic State ticket. He is said to be a very able lawyer, and as possessed of considerable personal popularity. There is but one Supreme Judge to elect this year, viz: in place of Judge Osborn, who was appointed by Governor Bakex;éfor the newly created Fifth (Northern Indiana) District. Some of the prominent Democrats at Indianapolis are understood to favor the retention of Judge Osborn, so as to give both political parties a representative on the bench. The only objection which has thus far been urged against this proposition is that in the event of the Republicans carrying the State two years hence the Demograts would have no representati¢n on the supreme bench. Itis to be regretted that under existing laws the supreme ‘court is almost certain to be composed of men belonging to the same political party. The New York system of minoritv representation removes this objectionable feature and gives general satisfaction. :

A faminé is prevailing in Asia Minor. It is estimated that the daily number of deaths from starvation in the Town of Angora is 100. Angora is 235 miles distant from Coustantinople, and is a city of 30,000 inhabitants. If the distress there is so great, the condition of the people in the country region must be terrible. Simply as auxiliary to the labors of Christian missionaries, the sending of relief to " these tamlshinf men and women would be a noble enterprise; and, on the broader grounds of a eommon humanity, it should be a hundred-times " blessed privilege. R

In our issue of last week we published an elaborate account of the deliberations of the anti-secret society convention recently held at Albion. A few words in relation to the ficket nominated may not be entirely amiss. For Representative, the convention selected Mr. George Harvey,a respectable old gentleman residing at Albion. Mr. H. is the builder of the present court-house and the asylum for the poor. The fact that he has been favored with such eontracts is something of a refutation of the stale charge, thayghtlessly reiterated from time to time, that “men who do not: belong to secret) societies stand no chance of gaining recognition in official circles.” Mr. Harvey is a native of Scotland, but has resided in Noble county for many years. His warmest friends do not' claim for him any special qualifications for the position to which he has been assigned on the ticket; but as the thought of his possible election has not entered the mind -of any rational being, and in view of the fact that the old gentleman is rather liberal in.the distribution of his funds, it is ‘quite probable that the selection was one “eminently fit to be made.” Mr. James T. Johnson, the candidate for Clerk, is a resident of Kendallville. -We have no personal acquaintance with the gentleman, but learn upon careful inquiry that he is a brother-in-law of Mr. Harvey, tlgat he is possessed of a fair education, and that he is respected by his neighbors as a quiet, inoffensive gentleman. " The nominee for Auditor is Jogeph Shew, of York township. This gentleman, besides farming, occasionally follows the occupation of a teacher.— Two years ago he sought the republi;czm nomination for Recorder, but was -disappointed.” His qualifications may be eminent, but if so, his neighbors generally do not so regard them. For Treasurer, the convention finally accepted Mr. Edwin R. Hill, also of York township. This gentleman, a few years since, aspired to the position of Representative on the republican ticket, but like Mr. Shew met with dire disappointment. In the late -presidential contest he warmly advocated the election of Horace Greeley. We adjudge him a man of some ability and more than average intelligenee. ‘ Samuel .N. Pence, the candidate for Sheriff, has for a nuntber of years been a resident of Perry township,) and is generally regarded a good citizen. For a mumber vears he had quite a “hankering” after the office of Justice of the Peace, and once succeeded in getting a nomination at the hands of a rppublican caucus, but was defeated at the election. His old acquaintances contradict Mr. Fai@statement that Pence once held the office of Sheriff in Ohio. . .

John Whan, for county commissioner, is pretty generally known to the people of Noble county. He was twice elected to that position by the Republicans, -and no one suspected him of being timctured with intense “anti” proclivities. His republican friends and brethren who have stood by him in fwo campaigns regard the nomination as being unauthorized and predict -his declination in due course of tite o

The nomination for the office of Real Estate Appraiser was bestowed upon Mr. Joseph Weaver, of Elkhart township—an - excellent farmer and very estimable citizen. Mr. Weaver adheres to the religious denomination commonly known as the Tunkers, and is politically a Democrat. He is too honest a 2 man to allow himself to be bamboozled by adisreputable schemer like Jim McConnell, and will therefore not prove a very good subject for Jim’s favorite operations. Henry ‘Favinger, the nominee for Coroner, is a resident of Greeni township, and, if we mistake not, a son of our venerable friend, Abraham Favinger. We have no. personal acquaintance with Henry, but if he is half as good a man as his ‘fat"her, we feel impelled to pronounce-him a good man, and therefore avail ourself of the opportunity to caution him against training too extensively with Jim McConnell. ' : e ety & —eeee EDITING A PAPER IN GERMANY. -One of our German exchanges, in speaking of the managenent of newspapers in Germany, refers to a matter which will doubtless appear unique to most of our American Journalists. The royal censorship over the German press still remaining_ quite rigorous, the position of “responsible editor” in the Vaterland is far from being like a “bed of roses.” The enunciation of disloyal sentiments renders knights of the quill liable to imprisonment for weeks or months, owing to the. “enormity” of the offense. Hence, comparatively few editors place their names at the head of the editorial columns, but usually select some one occupying a subbordinate position in the office to publicly assume the responsibility of the editorial management of the paper. Should, once in a while, something of an offensive character appear that would require the strong arm of the government to be raised against the exercise of too much freedom on part of the press, the aforementioned sqibordinate is shoved to the front and graciously permitted to do penance in “durance vile” for the offense of his superior. This arrangement is doubtless a good one so far as the real knight of the quill is concerned, but it occurs to us that a little too much is imposed upon the good nature of the “sub.” i !

J. ENos NEEF, who came so near beating John Peter Cleaver Shanks for Congress in 1872, is said to be a candidate for the democratic nomination for Secretary of State. Enos is a clever young gentleman and quite at home on the stump.

At the recent session of the lowa Grand Lodge of Masons, decided grounds Were taken against members of the order keeping saloons, as it was considered as beinga:at variance with %_ very elementary principles on 'hich the whole fabric of the Masonic institation is based.” o

County Council—Patrons of HusT i . Members of five different Granges met at the court-house in Albion last Saturday at 11 o’clock A. M. The house ‘was called to order by C. Wadkins. - On motion, Mr. C. Wadkins was chosen President, A. D. C. Harvey Vice President, Jas. N. Harvey Secretary and John Brochan G. K. One member from each grange was appointed to draft resolutions, after which the house adjourned to meet at one o’clock. ; /

' AFTERNOON SESSION. . ~ The convention again met in due form, with the President in the chair. Considerable time was spent in discussing various subjects. of benefit to the Order, after which it was moved that we have a County Couneil. On motion it was agreed that said County Council shall consist of one delegate for every ten and one for every fraction over five members; that the County Council meet on the second Saturday after every quarterly report; that the delegates of the, dif-ferent-granges meet at Albion on the last Friday of May. ‘ The following resolutions were then adopted: o WHEREAS, The principal questions now demanding consideration are those inyolving the privileges and powers of corporations as. antagqnizing with, and operating in opposition to, the well-beihg of the people, and we, the farmers and laborers of Noble county, deem the triumph of the people in the contest with monopolies essential to the perpetuation of our free institutions and the promotion of our private and national prosperity; be it therefore . Resolved, Ist. That we, the farmers of Noble county, in couneil hield at Albion this 25th day of April, 1874, to work for our best interest and .endeavor to build up the calling of the préfession; and, further, that we purchase our machinery and implements where we can buy the cheapest and best articles for the money, regardless of local-or canvassing agents. 2d. We deem it prudent to patronize home manufactories as far as practical to our own interest, believing it equally to their interest to sell to us, and we cordially inyite our home manfacturers to correspond with our agent with regard to furnishing them with articles of their own manufacturing! | | - 3rd. That we, the members of this convention, oppose the granting of licences for selling intoxicating drinks. 4th. That we earnestly and cordially invite all farmers to work with us and to thoroughly investigate our State constitution and by-laws and ascertain for themselves the benefit of unity among farmers,, | | . bth. That the Secretary furnish each of the county papers a copy of the proceedings and resolutions of this convention for publication. - JAs. N. HARVEY, Sec’y.

The Corporation Election. : The election for corporation officers for the town of Ligonier passed off quietly on Monday last. It was gen: erally believed that a larger vote than was polled at the Tpreéeding- eléction would be cast; but a few hours after the opening of the polls it became apparent that neitherside displayed great zeal to rally the ;“spx}m‘eignS ‘of the land.” . B : Two tickets were in the field—the anti-secret society and temperance ticket nominated in Sam. Smith’s harness shop the preceding Monday, and a citizens’ ticket nominated at the Town Hall last Friday evening. On the latter ticket were all the old town officers except Trustee Chapman and Clerk Zimmerman, both of whom p%remptorily refused a renomination. _The result of the election is as follows—the names marked with an asterisk (*) being the candidates on the “anti” ticket: | ‘Clerk—S. Theo. Eldred, 143; John Weirk, 59. Eldred’s majority, 84. Treasurer—J. M. Chapman, 146 ; Dr. Charles Woodruff*, 51. Chapman’s majority, 86. | | ; , Assessor—Henry ' Hostetter, 139; Edmund Richmond*, 59. Hostetter’s majority,Bo.- = - . TRUSTEES: | First Ward—Hon. Harrison Wood, 137; Matthias Marker*, 56.

Fourth Ward—Jonas W. Wyland, 143; Charles G. Vail* 56. Wyland’s majority, 87. o Fifth Ward—Geo, T. Ulmer, 141; Timothy Hudson*, 60. Ulmer’s majority, 81. : § e Last year the citijens’ ticket polled from 132 to 143 votes and the ticket of the “antis” from 82 to 93—showing quite aloss to the fantis,” while the other side not only held their own, but increased their vote. / It will be observed from the above table that about half a dozen “antis” scratched the name of Mr. %‘ry‘ and voted for his competitor. This treatment of so earnest a laborer “for the cause” is. to say the least of it, very peculiar, and indicat:bs a lack of appre‘ciation hardly excus?.ble among brethren. Mr. Fry has dqvo’fted years to the advocacy of the anti-masonic cause, has stood the brunt of many hardfought battles, and is the last man among the brethren who deserves ‘being slighted in this ungracious manner. Mr. Fry shoqld demand an investigation. L

L e —— A pEcIsiON of some interest to the temperance people in Indiana has been rendered by the Supreme Court of that State. It is that a person selling liquor to one whom he knows to be an habitual drunkard is liable to punishment under the Baxter law.— In the particular case passed upon, the liquor-dealer was acquitted, the prosecution having neglected to prove his acquaintance with the habits of the drunkard whose|relations brought suit. But the principle is established ; and in future it will be an easy matter to convict saloon-keepers who make a living out of drunkards’ families.— Unhappily the law is impotent to prevent the making of drunkards, or to fix the exact point at which reputable | inebriety becomes disreputable.—Chicago Tribune. | ettt B | The shop men of the Allegheny Valley Railroad, Pittsburgh, Pa., to the number of 490% struck work on 1 Saturday to obtain ithe four month’s back pay due them. ; ‘

e e T T S nnioßte. __Anti-Masonic County Conventiol. - Tfind in my BANNER of last weeg a report of a convention' held at Albpn a short_time since. The capatity if the reporter for a sneering contemnt of at least a part of the gptoceedingslt apparent. Whatever e may thi about it, it is my opinion that if, takm as a whole, any other ticket is gottin up in this county this season, mae respectable, or better qualified for the positions assigned, then the county is to be congratulated, for it has not lad such an one for a long time. oo As 1 am notin favor with the nagnates, those running the machim, I may be safely considered as indepadent in my remarks. I wish to spak more particularly of those I am acquainted with, as it has been the fishjon for a long time to beslaver yith praise the meanest character havinga nomination, by those giving it, ard to besmear an irreproachable ong by those opposed, and the followen of each to take for granted all that iheir unscrupulous leaders may put Hirth. Mr. Geo. Harvey is known t¢ the whole county as a good farmer, agood man, and will compare favaably with the candidates for Representative voted , for or sent by this chunty for years back. : 7

~As much as I should like to have seen Mr. A. Humphreys “stand” for Treasurer, the mantle has fallen on no unworthy shoulders. Mr. E. R. Hill is better qualified than most men ‘who receive a nomination’ for that position, having no previous pr%:tice.—--And he can be safely trusted with the people’s money. Jos. Shew, a lame man, is capable and worthy, and would make a ifirst class Auditor. : - S. N. Pence is well knowa here as a man addicted to minding his own business, and if the people should tell him. to be Sheriff, he would promptly perform the duties of the office, even if they required the ‘hanging of the writer. =

Jos. Weaver, of Elkhart, (not Orange,) is one of the very bes;t réprei sentatives of the Dunkard denomination in our midst. He is a wholesouled man, a careful nhan, one who may be trusted anywhere and to any length. Should he be elected to the office of Real Estate Appraiser, he wéuld break over the custom 8f appropriating a part of the Deputies, legal per diem. This he would do, because of his ihnate honesty, not for fear of the penalty the law attaches and which others seem willing to run the risk of incurring. | These men are all farmers, workingmen, not fanatics on the subject of Masonry, or any other. They are capable, well-meaning ; what more can we as voters ask for? I think the convention “builded better than it knew.” - LIBERAL.

' Mrs. Clem at Liberty! The case of Mrs. Clem, charged with tiee murder of Jacob Young in 1868, has finally been disposed of. It was called in the Boone Circuit Court on Monday of last week, when the Prosecuting Attorney asked leave to enter a nolle prosequti. J udge Palmer took the case under advisement, and on Wednesday delivered his decision, sustaining the motion. A motion was then entered to similarly dispose of the indictment for the murder of Naney J. Young. = This was also sustained by Judge Palmer. The prisoner was' then released and allowed to return to her home in Indianapolis.— The Chicago 7T7ribune thus speaks of Mrs. Clem’s release: . j

Mrs. Nancy Clem has been four times tried for murder and twice convicted. She was granted a fifth trial, but this time no preparations were made to carry out the orders of the Court. The expense of the prosecution had become so burdensome that neither county nor State would consent to carry the matter further, and so Mrs. Clem has been discharged. Sheer weariness and disgust at the monstrous maladministration of justice in the case doubtless.had as much to do with the result as the difficulty of procuring the necessary money. There is very little, doubt in the minds of: well-infornted persons as to the guilt ot innocende of Mrs. Clem. She was once granted anew trial on the ground that the murder of two persons at one time and place is a single offense, and not liable to a double indictment; an--other trial was obtained through some equally trivial technicality, the jury twice disagreed, and now the woman is free. A sadder burlesque upon the vaunted right of trial by jury has not occurred in this section of the country since it could lay claim to a place within the bounds of civilization. : The Sanborn Swindle. : The report of the Ways and Means Committee on the :Sanborn business has been submitted to the louse of Representatives. It isa concise document, traversing the evidence adduced, and presenting the counclusions reached by the Committee. The law authorized the appointment of three persons to assist the Imnternal Revenue officials in collecting delinquent taxes. ‘The Committee find that this provision has been exactly reversed, i. e, that thé Internal Revenue Department has been appointed to assist certain persons to whom collection contracts were awarded. Secretary Rich--ardson, Assistant-Secretary Sawyer, and Solicitor Banfield may be surprised to learn that the efforts of each to shift the responsibility for the making of the contracts upon the other two have resulfed in- involving all three in a common ruin. They are “severely condemned” by the Committée for inefficiency and carelessness; at the same time, they are acquitted of dishonest intentions by a saving clause. The Committee further report that a large part, if not all of the. claims collected by Sanborn ought not to have been made the subject of a contract; they might, and probably would have been collected by the reg-ularly-employed servants of the Government. The recommendations subjoined to the report are: (1) That the! law authorizing the contracts be repealed; (2) that all further claims under it be excluded from the jurisdiction of the Court of Claims. This is such a report as the people demanded. Tt “severely condemns” the three officers of the Government who have made possible the perpetration of the Sanborn iniqu;gr. - President Grant will, of course, adntit the propriety of at once dismissing these gentlemen from the service of the United States. —CMeage Triviife., ..

CRIMES AND CASUALTIES. Seven men were killed and three fatally injured by a boiler explosion at Condit’s paper-mill in Shawngunk, N. X., on Saturday.. _f ‘The residence of Henry Pennington, at Hautzville, Clearfield county, Pa., was burned on the 29th ult., and his two sons and one daughter lost their lives in the flames. Joe: Waltz, the murderer who was hanged at Catskill, N. Y., last Friday, killed his keeper, Charles Ernst, in his cell, at three o’clock on the afternoont of the day preceding, by striking him on the head with a piece of iron and smashing in his skull.

Hood, a negro murderet, was hanged in Cleveland on Wednesday of last week. He enticed his ‘stepson, a boy of 12 years, away from home, made him drunk with whisky, killed him with a board, and buried him under a pile of rotten wood. Bovee and the sentimentalists will doubtless plant forget-me-nots on his grave. v STtURrGis, MicH, April 30.—Last evening, about 9 o’clock, a collision occurred at the crossing of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern and the Grand Rapids & Indiana Railroads, between two freight-trains, one bound west, the other south; the first section passed the tarfet, and immediately afterwards the target was turned | for the train going west. The train | bound west started out, when the trainxi going south struck it,'smashing up | five cars on the Lake Shore Road, and ‘ completely demolishing the engine on | the Grand Rapids Road. Two derricks came as soon as possible,and about 8 o’clock this morning the track was all clear. The fault seemed to be with the Grand Rapids Road, as it is_ reported that the conductor was asleep ! at the time of the accident. No person hurt. ; :

PiTTBBURGH, May 3.—On Thursday morning the House of John Hamnett, six miles from Pittsburgh, was destroyed by fire. The entire family, ‘consisting of Hamnet, his wife, two children, a hired man and boy, whom they were raising, six petrsons in all, were burned to death. But two were recognizable when the bodies were found. It is certainm that the entire family was murdered, and suspicion rests upon a man employed on the place. One of the bodies found arnong the ruins showed that the throat had been cut. The young man’s name is Earnest Mintzing. He was captured in Allegheny City early last Saturday ‘morning, and has made a detailed confession of the manner of committing the murder. He saysthat he committed the crime to obtain Mr. Hamnett’s money, but that he only got about $l5. He also states that burning the house was unintentional. Mintzing’s crime is one of the most horrible on record. He was impelled to kill,and he simply surrendered himself to the impulse.— Taking an ax in his hand, he asecended to the sleeping apartments of the family, and with as little remorse as he would have Kkilled a bullock, knocked the three children on the head. The parents were dispatched in the same manner on returning home late at night, and the house was set on fire over the six bodies. Mintzing got $l5 for his trouble. It will be a source of regret to right-feeling people that this man caunot be more than once hanged.

Notes from the National Capital, Secretary Richardson has the credit of reporting a reduction in the public debt during April of nearly $3,000,000. It is not officially stated whether the decrease is actual, constructive, or apparent; nor are there any means-of knowing whether these good results were reached by design or through the routine process. b i . A noteworthy feature of the bill making an appropriavion of $3,000,000 to meet the expenses of the National Centennial ~vcelebration has hitherto escaped attention. It is a reconimendation that the duties on tea and eof-, fee be restored until the Government is reimbursed for its expenditures on account of the Centennial. Possibly this provision is intended as a remeote and delicate recognition of the resistance made in Revolutionary times by the sturdy patriots of Boston to the imposition of a tax upon tea. The Senators who voted against the Currency bill and in support of thé veto represent a considerable majority of the people, and about two-thirds of the wealth of the country. The testvote was 34 to 30 in favor ef the inflationists. Senator Washburn’s name must now be added to the numerical minority. He appeared in the Senate last Friday, and was sworn in. So the paper money party haveonly a majority of three Senators, and their strength is drawn from the least educated and most poverty-stricken sections of the country. ‘ : o ; Both Houses of Congress have passed the Louisville & Portland Canal bill. By its provisions the canal becomes the property of the United States, subject to a lien established by mortgage. In the future, only such tolls will be charged as may be necessary to meet running expenses. Under the present management, the canal has not been at all such a public highway as to meet the wants of people having to use it; possibly as an appurtenance of the United States Government it may give satisfaction to all. At any rate, the experiment will be worth making for its bearings upon the Cheap Transportation question.

Lagrange County. H. Nichols, a prominent business man of Lagrange, has failed. : There are between six and seven hundred delinquent tax payers in Lagrange county. : The “Buckeye Broadaxe” has been lecturing in Lagrange. . : - The Standard says: “John E. Johnson, a youth in jaii, who made such a fovorable impression in court as an inoffensive and well disposed young man, took leave of the new jail some time Saturday night, without the consent or knowledge of the Sheriff. Owing to the insufficiency of the furnace to heat the cells, the prisoners have been allowed free access tothe lockup, a room provided for sick prisoners, which was thought to be sufficiently safe, and could be kept warm. During the night Johnson pried the bars inside of the window of this room with a bed-slat until-he broke off one, and through the narrow space left between the bars, apparently hardly large enough to admit the passage of a small head, he crawled through and onto the portico roof below,and from there readily slid down and made his escape. He had tried to file the bar off, but evidently . finding this too slow a process, he tried the pry, and broke the bar in another place entirely.””

A Lutheran Sunday School Convention will begin at Lagrange on the 7th inst. " i — et & e ¥ Emile Cook, a delegate to the.Evangelical Alliance which met in New York last October, took a return passage to France in the ill-fated Villedu Havre, and was drowned. A subseription in behalf of his family was started, and now the Committee having charge of the matter report.that more than $7,000 has been received for this ‘fund, Thereis in such an act more satiat%ctbry‘ o;videﬁce of a spirit of true_Christian fe owshig: than was developed by any of the hundred brotherly-love speeches to which the meeting of the Alliance gave occasion.

{ STATE ITEMS. ‘ An altereation occurred in the Clinton House billiard-hall in Kokonrio, on Saturday night, May 2d, in which a man named William Bebee was seriously stabbed, the knife going through the right lung and penetrating the spinal column. His injuries will probax[))ly prove fatal. Parties implicated were held over to await the result.

On Saturday night of last week a passenger train onthe P.F. W. & C. Railroad, bound east, was thrown from the track at Summit Station, about 60 miles west of Fort Wayne, by a misplaced switch, and all the cars except the refrigerator caught fire and were totally consumed. The passengers escaped by a miracle. The engineer, fireman, express messenger and baggage master were badly but not dangerously hurt. : The body of little Mary Weston, daughter of J. Weston, an engineer on the Ohio & Mississippi Railroad, who disappeared from her home, near Seymour, recently, was found in" the pool below the dam across White River, at the Rockford Mill,on Monday niorning. Her clothing was all beaten off by the water pouring over the dam. She was found early in the morning, but the Coroner held no inquest until about 3 o’clock. The body was left im the water all day. The jury returned a verdict of death by drowning. Neith_er her father nor herstepmother went 'near her until after she was taken to the graveyard, though she was not ‘buried for ten hours after she was found.. The strange conduect of the l parents excited a suspicion of foul play, and the body was taken up that evening, and physicians held a post- - mortem examination.

The dead body of an infant was discovered in the cellar of the Aveline House, in the city of Fort Wayne, on May 4th, by one of the .porters named Martin Miller. The remains were deposited in a bucket and coverayl with a cloth'saturated with blood. The body was nearly devoured by rats, there being nothing but a few bones and shreds of flesh remaining. The Coroner was notified, and proceeded to investigate the matter. Miller testified that he first discovered the remains about thiree weeks ago, and told several of the employes of the circumstance, and gave as the reason that he was informed on Mdnday that Katy Flock, a sister of Laura Flock, accused the latter of putting the body in the cellar, and that the latter was sick ‘at the time and was supposed by every one to be enciente. The coroner’s jury returned & verdict that the body of an infant was found in the Aveline House cellar, but how it came there was unknown to them. . : — gl - P——————— ; . 'The Arkansas Imbroglio. . The Arkansas imbroglio is invelved in further complications. On "Monday morning Baxter arrested two Arkansas Supreme Court Judges, to prevent a session, which was to have been held that day, in Brooks’ interest. To check-mate this move, Brooks’ friends threaten to arrest the members of the Arkansas Legislature, who'intend to assemble in Baxter's interest next Monday. Every move made in Arkansas is planned at ‘Washington.— Baxter’s friends intend to prevent a meeting of the Supreme Court, while the Brooks’ leaders declare that; the Legislature shall not meet. An ‘amicable settlement is further away than ever. "

—Baxter and Brooks have made statements to the people through a New York paper. Baxter will abide by the decision of the Legislature summoned by Baxter. On the other hand Brooks will obey the Courts; Baxter {maintains that the Courts have already declared the contest to be without their jurisdiction. The President, it is said, will support the Governor who carries the Legislature. Altogether, it is a/ very pretty quarrel, and one in which the equitiées are so evenly balanced that neither side receives much sympathy. : !

THE great double track railway job has been reported in Congress, and is now under consideration.
