' A CREDIT TO LIGONIER. - i v v :I‘hoz New Hotel Goldsmith Deserves the Public Patronage.—A Splendid House under Excellent. Management. Ligonier people and the traveling public are to be congratulated upon the splendid hotel accommodations offered in Ligonier since the opening of the new Hotel Goldsmith, under the management of that excellent landlord, Cnarles H. Clark. The hotel builiing’ is indeed a credit to our beautiful little citv. Having been completely overhauled and rebuilt it is arranged in a way to afford all of the modern conveniences and both its interior and exterior are attractive and pleasing to the eye. When the house was vacated in the spring it was promised by the owners that they would completely remodel and rebuild the hotel. Tbere| was some hitch in the work and it was delayed until after Mr J. L. Dunning purchased an interest in the property. With Mr. Goldsmith and Emma Fleming it was an easy matter to agree upon plans and & competent architect was at once secured and ordered to provide for such changes and improvements as would best subserve the interests of the hotel. A large addition was proyided for and a complete new roof put on. The iterior of the house was greatly changed and many new and commodious rooms added in a way to give the very best of accommodations to the guests. Bath roomsanc closets were put in and new windows furnished instead of the old style affairs that graced the old building: The office was changed and the front completely overhauled and surmounted by a beautiful cornice and it now presents a most attractive appearance. A large and commodious veranda

. In the great cities people attend to their own business. They pass and repass, scarcely speaking and in the main not knowing each other. But in the small towns and villages the reverse of this is true. There is a zealous prying into the knowledge of everybody’s business—each more intent on the affairs of others than his own. Men sit in clusters and tattle. Women sit together and tattle. A story is started. It is repeated with liberal additions and grows to be a monstirous thing—a wonderful thing the prince of liars would be proud of.—Greencastle Banner. ; o

It took several ballots to secure the superintendencye_‘g the poor farm in Elkhart county.%'Fifteen candidates were in line for the place, but Charles MecFillan of Clinton township was the lucky man. Those who receiyed one vote during the fight were: V. J. Vir gil, John Heacock, Abram Garver, Joseph Eash, F. McDowell. while the candidates that were not in it at any stage were E. J. Kimmell, Samuel Leatherman, Jason Ramsby, Ben J. Weaver, Geo. H. Lee, Samuel C. Smith and Frank Inbody.. Itis understood that Commissioner Walley and Kinnigon g2t together and that the lucky man was discovered by the latter gentleman.

Some months ago a fellow vyisited Ligonier ostensibly to make a resurvey of the city for the fire insurance agents, but from the nature of his report and the schedule of rates adopted under his recommendation, his mission savors considerably of highway robbery. The new liat of rates, signed by the local agents, without any kick upon their part that we haye so far heard. raises the rates upon an ayerage of about 60 per cent. and in many plans it is greatly in excess of that figure. No man can give any reason for this condition of affairs. The town was never betier situated to fight fire. The buildings are nearly all detached and easy of access. The fire department is well organized and the water works always ready. Such a raise in rates is to be understood only upon the theory of stand and deliver. :

- Stark County Democrat: The Hamlet Hay company is having built and will put in operation 1n about a week a traction engine, to be used in plowing that will be well worth seeing. The engine which is being built by the Huber works, at Marion, Ohio, is on the principle of an ordinary traction engine, but the front wheels haye tires two feet wide, while those of the rear wheels are four feet wide.

Bill Knepper Goes Up. ‘ ‘ | The trial of Bill Knepper at Albion last week charged with manslaughter resulted in his conviction and. a sentence of nine years in the penitentiary. The readers of THE BANNER are familiar with the circumstances surroufiling the death of the young man, dabn Monk, from the effects of a blow upen the head at the hands of this man Knepper. The evidence on the circumstances surrounding the. trouble was very meagre as no one saw the trouble between Knepper and Monk but the admission of the accused the next morning and at subsequent times of his having struck Monk went far to convince the jury that he was guilty. . There 18 no doubt in the world that Knepper hit the boy a vicious blow upon the head and there can be no doubt that the blow ultimately caused the boy’s death and everybody is well satisfied that the yverdict of the jury is only a mistake in its leniency. : Knepper has always been a bad man and lif penitentiaries are for anything they are for the care of just such fellows. He has done many things that ought to have taken him there before and the community down about Wawaka is now safe for at least a few years from his bad temper and unwholesome presence. He was ably defended by Hon, R. P. Barr of Kendallwillez but the evidence was too .conclusive, ;

The case was appealed andjthe decision of the supreme court is also ,againstl Mrs. Lamport., The . ruling 'is by Judge McCabe and is as follows: | " 1.

The question of care at railroad crossings as affecting the traveler is no longer, as a rule. a question for the jury, tor the quantum of ¢are is exactly prescribed as matter of law. 3. At public crossings the public have the right to cross the track of a railway, but in doing so all persons are required to exercise reasonable caution to avoid receiving injury. and the company is compelled to ex: ercise the same degree of care to preyvent the infliction of the mmjury. 4.
