CHANGE OF VENUE J. C. U?tUt iM iutl & Bins. Hare to Fttenkirt to (M Jn> tleo. ; vVUtk Ther Tkraikt Tk«f OraM Not Ml In ttatlcu Coonly. Thursday forenoon the Sheriff and deputy of Daviess county brought James C. LaVelie and Aaron B. Hawes to this place and Sheriff Stilweli placed them In the county jail to await trial at the next term of the Pike Circuit Court, whieh begins Not. 9. Readers or The Democrat wiil remember ihalLaVeile was a long time Auditor of Daviess county and one of the most popular men the county ever had. lie was accused of beiug defaulter and the Daviess county Commissioners ordered an investigation of the books. While this was going on someone coal-oiled tUe books in the Recorder's office and also in the Auditor’s office and set fire to both rooms. The Recorder’s office burned out and most Of t he Auditor’s office wasdistroyed. Detectives went to work and soon found sufficient evidence to get au indictment against LaVelie and Hawes, who are accused of hiring a laborer of Washington to set the court-house on fire. Hawes is accused of conspiring with LaVelie and both are indicted for arson. They have been in the Daviess couuty jail for a good while, but they took a change of venue, and were brought here aud placed in the hands of the sheriff, who keeps them safe in jail and well guarded. Sheriff Stilwell was requested not to pul them in jail

for awhile as they wouhpoe haileti out iu a few moments.- Thi>* he wisely refused to do, aud when the bond was presented it was refused, as the Sheriff did not know it to be stood and did know they could not give bond at Washington. Mr. Stilwell says if the State's Attorneys, Ogdon ft O’Neal savf the bond is good, the prisoners may go. S- M. Hardy, attorney for tly> defense was here part of the day. FIRE AMONG OUR NEIGHBORS. Evansville Journal, Oct., 28.—One of the most destructive forest fires that ever occurred in this neighborhood is now raging in the Blue Grass region of the state, some thirteen miles from this city on the Evansville and Indianapolis Railroad. The nearest settlement to the scene of the conflagration is Buckskin, a station on the E. ft I. Mr. John Eisenhauerrof this city rcturnedjfom the scene last evening and gives a most graphic description of the destruction. Daniel Ferguson owns a piece of wood land a few miles from the station, which he has been clearing, and on Saturday evening la-t gave orders to his workmen to clear the underbrush with tire. There has been no rain in tho neighborhood tor nearly three months, and as a consequence everything is as dry as tinder. The woods arc full of dry leaves and bark from the trees and it did not take long for the fire to get a good headway after it had been started. Sunday and Monday* it will be remembered, were both dry hot days, and aided the fire in its progress. The fire that had been lighted in Ferguson's place was started in several places in order that the woods should be cleared quickly, and as the result shows the workmen guessed, rightly, but their heads were uot quite long iiiough to see the destruction that itared their neighbors iu the lace. The fire was started, as stated,SunJay evening, and spread so, rapidly ihat it alarmed the people on the Ferguson farm. They began lighting it as soon a; an hour after it had beeu lighted. By midnight the entire woods pasture, covering about five acres, was ablaze, sending up great longues of fire and filled the air with tmoke. The wind was so strong that it bore blazing brandies of trees into an adjoining field of corn, and soon the lire was traveling towards Ferguson’s dwelling. Farmers in the neighborhood who had watched the progress of the fire mounted their horses ami rode to the scene. Some fifty or more men were battling with the flames, but the high wind seemed to laugh at their efiorts, for they were unable to *cope with the fire.

By 2 o’clock Monday morning Ferguson's bouse, barn, outbuildings, farming implements, stored bay and grain, together with several bead of horses, cows, pigs, fowls, etc., were reduced loaches, leaving nothing but the charred earth as a reminder of what had been there. By daylight Monday morning alike farmers were out fighting the ttaines, but each oue on Ilia property, for now the fire had become general. The flames seemed to leap from one woods pasture to another, leaving the fields to burn at leisure. The distracted farmers dug ditches, cut paths, started fires to burn back to the original, everything in fact that anybody ever suggested to fight a prairie fire but all to no purpose. They were driven back before the advancing flames, and-finally desert cd the fields to save their houses. But they, too, were doomed. The high winds carried burning embers in every direction, and farm houses, barns, crops, everything that could furnish fuel for the flames were burned to tinder. Willis Traylor’s farm house and buildings followed the destruction of t he Fergusou place. Ifis place covers 3:00 acres and it swept it clean. Both the standing coru atjd everything that he bad stored was distroyed. Luoien Briggs’ farm adjoins that of Traylor’s on the east, and it was next at (acted. 'There U a good-steed creek running through live farm, hut the rfl!ames leaped across the stream and Wgpt away a fine woods pasture,

working their way up through a corn field to the house, barn and ootbuildlugs, earning everything before them. The wind oow veered and carried advancing flames to the coru field and farm bailings owned by John Lankford. Here the same complete destruction was wrought. A farmer named Rainey, lived on an adjoining farm. His. property was swept away as was a neighbor’s named Ward, who adjoined him. By Monday evening the fire deecrib- j ed a complete circle, and the farmers | and their families were huddled to- j gather in the center of the secthiug mass of flames. There was no avnue of escape, and all they could do was to keep as ue&r the earth as possible, to prevent being stifled by the smoke. Strange as it may seem there was but one casualty. Jitn Kelley, a farm hand, had his face, arms and body badly burned while battling with the flames. His injuries may prove fatal, as he bras without medical aid for several hours after he was hurt. The fire, Mr. 'Eisenhauer reports, is still racing burning in an easterly direction, threatening the village of Mackey, on the E. & I. Railroad. The losses amounted to between $35.000and $40,000, on which there is some insurance, but not enough to start the farmers up again. Ihe territory covered will amouut to bet ireen 700 and 1,000 acres. The families of the farmers are now at Buckskin, distributed among the geod people of'that place.

‘ lumber burned. Special to the Evansville Journal, Oakland Cite, Ind.,- Oct. 27.—A disastrous fire occured at Dougela, tour miles north of here last night at Theodore Chappell’s saw mill. Over 100.000 feel of quarter sawed oak, worth fifty dollars* thousand, was entirety consumed by the flames. It is supposed to have been the' work of incediaries. OTHER FIRES. Reports of forest fires all along the different lines of railroads in this vie* iuity indicate a serious slate of aflairs. The trains on the Air Line ran through fires at English and Pigeon, Ind., yesterday. The woods on both sides were all ablaze, anil the sceuc was a grand, though appalling one. The fire at Pigeon at 2 o'clock yesterday was a mile from the depot, a ml at 9:30 was raging an both sides of the track. Tiie railroads patrol) every foot of their lines night and day, and all bridges and trestles are closely watched. * Obituary. Ansel Jackson Patterson.

Susan Hargrave, an aged and well known lady of Otwell died at her home in that place .Nov. 2, and was hurried Nov. 3. No particulars are furnished, hut we suppose the funeral was by the Rev. Royer, as she was long a member of the M. E. Church. Died from SnperauuRtion. errata. We erred last week in stating that Mrs. MiuervaJMiley, deceased, belonged to the M. E. Church. The error came from the fart that Rev. Fields, of the C. P. Church, of which she was a member, was from home and Rev. Bain preached the funeral, thus giving us a wrong impression.

N E1G HBOBHOOD NOTES. Prtnocton Clarion, Oct. S3. What Is likely to result In • brutal murder occurred at a school house In the l«tI toms four or five miles flrom Mt.Carmel last Wednesday. It seemee that a prohibition I speaking eras being held at the school house that night and that a man named Nick 1 Hughes, a rather tough character • f the neighborhood, was present full of whisky aud more in a jug. He got into a row with a, man named Farley Johnson In which Hughes was slightly worsted. He received a cut in the neck shout two inches long flrom some one. Shortly after he armed himself with a heavy club aud without pro. vocation struck Harry, a 13 year old son of Farley Johnson a murderous blow ou the head, crushing bis skull. Hughes then skipped out for IUin-ris, but was arrested at Belmont by Sit. Carmel officers, and was brought over here by Sheriff Key last Friday. He is now In jail and his ease will be disposed of at the present term of court. A very serious and probably fatal accident occurred at Doss saw mill, located on, Dr. Frank Blair’s laud about seven miles west of town Monday afternoon, Allen Hatcher, an employe of the mill, was attempting to place a belt on a' pulley when his right hand was caught by the revolving pulley. The hand and right arm was Instautlv drawn under the belt and around the pulley with such forces as to almost tear the arm from the shoulders. The flesh under the armpit was torn and lacerated In a fearful manner but strange to say no bones were broken, although the arm was bent lu a circle around the pulley. The unfortunate man was also teribly cut on the side of the face by the belt and otherwise bruised. He was released from his terrible position as,soon as posible and surgical aid summoned. His injuries were found to be very severe end it is doubtful about bis reevoery.

Washington Democrat, Oct. 3S . About 4 o'clock Tuesday evening the farm house occupied by squire William Elliot, near Shoals, was discovered lo be on fire by some of the neighboring farmers and when assistance arrived the old man was fouud near the ruins fataljy burned, and the remains of the old lady were found buried beneath the burning ruins. She had toolishty ventured into the burning building to remove some pieces of property, when the burning roof foil in upon her. Both were over seventy years of age and the old gentleman very feeble. Their youngest son, who had been takiug care or hia parents, was absent on his bridal tour. The old man received bis injuries in trying to rescue his wife. . Mt Vernion Democrat, Oct. 39. The street car stables at Evansville were destroyed by fire Thursday night, causing a loss of over JiOO.OOO. seventy-five mules were roasted alive, and twenty street cars consumed. Eleven buddings were burned and nearly all totally destroyed. It was the most disastrous fire ever known in -Independence,” and is suppose*) to have been incendiary. There were terrible sceues in the barns while the poor mules were burning. The man, or men. who did the awful work should be hunted down and punished to the fullest extent of the law. They deserve to be roasted alive also, which would be light punishment for the horrible death for the poor dumb brutes. Otwell. WXLL, Ini>., Oct. 31st, 1831.—Wheat is suffering tor the want of rain.
