THE STATE SCHOOL FUND Table Showing What Each County Pays In, What Each Receives and the Balances In the Treasury. The apportionment of the state school fund, aa prepared by Deputy Superintendent of Public Instruction Glascock, has been given to the press. The following excerpt shows the number of children in each county and the amount received from the state. In many cases the counties receive a great deal more than they pay in, a state of things which leads to all the agitation over the distribution, and causes the padding of returns in order to swell the amount received to the size of the amount paid in. The figures are as follows: ————— ■ ii: in m lh Hi K; iff i-g ;si Adams 7,M)l| 19,333 14 112,782 00 Allen 25,931| 46,76(1.00 45,379.25 Bartholomew..... 9,104| 17.470.20 16.932 00 Benion 4,225 11,56594 7,393.7 a Blackford 3,9*8' 5,870.32 6.196.50 Boone. 9,atti 15,28247* 16,278.50 Brown 3,8u9| 2,808.27 6,665.75 ; CarrolL 6,530 1233830 11,410 00 : !

INDIANAPOLIS seems to be suffering from a wave of murders. For two months they have come at the rate of one or two per week. Early the other morning John Tarpey, street commissioner of Haughville, a suburb of Indianapolis, was shot dead in his tracks by an unknown thief, whom he and three others surprised in the act of robbing Shaw’s saloon. The murderer, in the confusion, made good his escape and has not been caught. A few nights ago, at North Indianapolis, another suburb, John Mackey, white, was shot and probably fatally wounded by Ed Miller, colored. Miller had a squatter’s shanty near the canal, and while he was up town the shanty caught fire and burned. While the fire was in progress Miller came rushing wildly among the crowd that had collected, flourishing a revolver, and let go at the first man in his way, who happened to be Mackey. He was at once overpowered by the crowd and turned over to the police. His only reason for his crazy action is that he thought the crowd had set fire to his shanty. MRS. AMOS THOMPSON, widow, residing with her son Cyrus, near Crawfordsville, was killed by a horse the other evening. She went to the barn to feed the animal, and entered the stall where the horse was tied. She had a shawl over her head, and it is supposed the horse became frightened at her appearance, and knocking her against the partition stunned her so that she fell down under the animal’s feet. It then pawed her head and breast into a mass. A hired hand, on coming into the barn, noticed the horse pawing, and on examination found the remains of Mrs. Thompson. He attempted to enter the stall, and was kicked against the barn. Calling for Cyrus Thompson, he came, and after pacifying the beast carried out the body of his mother. AT Jeffersonville, Geo. Johns and his wife were attacked by a mad cow. Later in the day the cow died. THE following postmasters were named the other day: Cheadle, Clinton county, George Land; Coatsville. Hendricks county, N. N. Patrick; Freedom, Owen county, J. H. Courim; Pekin, Washington county, C. B. Elrod; Springport, Henry county, Wm. Pickenpaugh. JAS. MORRONEY, a well-to-do farmer of Morristown, suicided by hanging himself to a beam in his barn. He leaves a family. The cause is said to be despondency, caused by disease and reverses.
