THE PEOPLE’S PILOT, RENSSELAER, IND.. THURSDAY. NOV. 28.1895.

REMINGTON, in which place The People s Pilot has an extensive circulation, is a very prettv village of over 1.000 population, situated In the extreme southern part of Jasper county on the C~Bt. L. ft P.railway 125 miles from Chicago. Largest hay shipping point in Indiana; fine horses, cattle and hogs; rich agricultural lands worth up to 175 per acre and higher; four warehouses; county fair; excellent high schools; finOchurches; wellgraded gravel roads in all directions; two banks. To the Editor of the People’s Pilot. < Mr. William A. Amos, of Sheldon, Illinois, was in Remington last Saturday on legal business. He returned home on the afternoon train. L. Diamondstone, of Watseka, Illinois, wag in Remington the latter part of last week, having come over with his wife to look at the farm recently purchased of Mr. Amos, just across the line in White County. They are well pleased with their purchase. A man was arrested here last week on the charge of burglary committed in the State of Missouri some time last spring or winter. His name is Snell. He was held here about twenty hours, when the sheriff from Missouri arrived with the necessary requisition papers, with whom he returned to Missouri Another party hailing from Lafayette, Jnd., was arrested here last week, charged with embezzlement. The Lafayette officer was aided by George W. Hascall in making the arrest. The prisoner returned to Lafayette with the officer.

William E. Seymour is again at home from Elwood, Ind., and will remain probably one week. His presence here at this time is caused by the breaking of some of the machinery in the tin-plate mill in which he has employment. This caused him to be laid off for about a week, so he spends the time at his home in Remington. A case, entitled Arthur H. Woodin vs. Crawley, was tried before his Honor, G. B. Chappell, J. P., last Wednesday It was on an account, and resulted in a judgment for plaintiff Woodin in the sum of S7B. The defendant, we are informed, tiled an appeal bond, and the case wi.l now be settled in the Jasper circuit court at the January term, 1896.

Mr. John Eugene Spitler, of Rensselaer, Ind., was in Remington on Monday, representing the interests of the Spitler & Kite steam laundry located in Rensselaer. “Gene” is a hustler, and will make a go of the laundry business, if any body will Mr. Spitler appointed Mr. Kirk, the barber, his agent to represent the laundry here. This laundry is now doing as fine work as can be had anywhere, in fact, their work is unexcelled; and all they ask is a trial.

There was a rush of Rensselaer people in Remington on last Saturday in attendance on the football game played on that occasion. We understand that the Bensselaer team was the victor, the score being something like 25 to 5. In conversation with Charley • Warner, he informed your correspondent that the Rensselaer boys came over on purpose to do the Remington chaps up, and had the Remington club known this beforehand they would have declared the game off. But they were not informed in time. Hence their defeat.

We had a splendid rainfall Monday and Monday night following a heavy sleet. The rainstorm terminated in a snow storm, and the ground was covered to the depth of about an inch on Tuesday morning. The rain and snow will certainly do much toward providing water for the winter. Union services will be held in the M. E. Church of Remington to-day (Thanksgiving Day). The sermon will be delivered by Rev. James D. Carson. Mr. Charles E. Harlachers’ friends will ask the Board of County Commissioners to appoint him to the office of Justice of the Peace, at their December session. This (Carpenter) township is, *under the law, entitled to three justices, % but only has one, owing to the fact that two men who were elected to that office at the last election, failed and refused to qualify. We need another, hence the application for the appointment of Mr. Harlacher. Mr. H. has had experience in that office heretofore, and we are informed gave general satisfaction, and he will no doubt receive the appointment at the hands of the County Board of Commissioners.

Nathan J. Reed (our Nathan), set up the oysters to a half dozen of his select friends, as the result of a bet on a point of law concerning the general postoffice department of the general government. The bet having settled a few days ago.

REMINGTON.

Attorneys Yeoman and Guy were in attendance at court in Monticello on last Tuesday, having legal business in the Circuit court there the present term, w F. E. Babcock, of the Press office, has now got comfortable settled in the Leopold residence on South Ohio street. Mr. Ed Bond has moved into his elegant new residence on Virginia street. Samuel Mitchell has now completed a substantial addition to his house on Indiana street, which adds greatly to the appearance and comfort of his residence. Mr. Chappell will move into the Kirk residence, on northeast corner of Ohio and North streets, in a very few days. Mr. C. is a new-comer here, and a carpenter by trade and is said to be a fine mechanic. There has been much work here in his line, and is still much more to do.

Correspondence of the People's Pilot. Simon Johnson was in Monon Saturday. Otis Jacks is on the sick list. Mr. and Mrs. North Rishling visited at Simon Johnson’s Sunday. The weather had been quite rainy, and the roads are getting bad. Born—To Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Warner, on the 25th inst., a boy. Thos. Jacks visited his son, William Jacks, near Wolcott, last Sunday. Eli Wood is recovering very slowly from his attack of typhoid fever. Items scarce and work plenty, makes this list rather short this week. John King, of Rensselaer was here Saturday. Result, less rabbits in this neighborhood. Mr. Lippincott, of Monon, was in this vicinity the first of the week, getting signatures for the remonstrance against William Vanarsdale’s opening a saloon in that town.

No Damages From Counties..

Last Monday the supreme court of Indiana handed down a very important decision affecting an important case from this county, and reversing the holdings of that tribunal for fifteen years.

■‘ln the case of the board of commissioners of Jasper county against James A. Allman, Allman brought suit against the county to recover damages for the death of his intestate, caused, it was alleged, by the defective approach to a bridge over a water course. He obtayied a judgment in the lower court for $6,000, which the supreme court set aside. The opinion, is by Judge Monks, who holds that “there is no liability by counties for injuries caused by the negligence of its officers in constructing or in repairing or failing to repair bridges over water courses, for the reason that there is no statute covering such liability.” The court says there is no provision in the statute which confers a right of action against the county for the negligent acts of the county or its board of commissioners in the management of the affairs of the county. “No authority,” the court says, “has ever been given the board of county commissioners to appropriate the county funds to pay damages in such cases, nor to levy and collect taxes for any such purposes.” The court says the enforcement of the penal statute and the creation of personal liability, if it does not now exist, for injuries caused by neglect of official duty, would probably be more convincing to the officers than taking the public funds to pay such damages.

The court announces that it bases its action on the broad ground that counties being sub divisions _of the state, are instrumentalities of government and exercise authority given by the state and are no more liable for the acts or omissions of their state officers than the state.” Simon Thompson and R. W. Marshal were the opposing attorneys in the above case, the former for the appellant and the later for the appellee. It is a gratifying decision for Mr. Thompson.

Come in boys. We can laundry for you all as well as one, “boys.” Spitler & Right. Blank books, writing material and school incidentals, the finest assortment at Meyer’s drug store.

Frank Leslie’s Popular Monthly.

The Christmas number of Frank Leslie’s Popular Monthly is already out, and will hardly be surpassed in richness and beauty of pictorial illustration, or in seasonable variety of literary contents, by anything that may follow during the holiday season. The opening article, upon “Heroines and Heroine Worship,” affords a vehicle for nearly a score of exquisite reproductions from the old and modern master-painters. A similar opportunity is found in the intensely poeiic story, by A. Cressy Morrison, of “The Man who Resembled Christ,” which in addition is illustrated with some original drawings of rare delicacy. In “The City of Dordrecht.” George C. Haite fairly revels in the picturesque, giving us eight of his loveliest aquarelles. The great literary feature of the number is Tolstoi’s latest story, “Master and Man,” specially translated from the Russian for Frank Leslie’s Popular Monthly, and illustrated by Fogarty. A charming novelty is “A Daughter of the Samurai,” by Reiichi Yamagata, being an up-to-date Japanese love story written in English by a Japanese author. Amongst other contributions deserving special mention are “Heroines of Chivalry,” oy Mrs. Frank Leslie; “Literary Boston,” by Lilian Whiting; “The St. Nicholas Society,” by Wilf. P. Pond; “How the Wixes Joined the Four Hundred,” by A. Oakey Hall; and “A Legend of Jeanne d’ Arc,” —the latter being a poem by Francois Coppee.

That Foot Ball Game.

The local team went over to Reminton Saturday, and the score of six to ten in their favor tells the story of their prowess. The following is the line up of the Rensselaer team: Woodworth, r. h. b., Brown, 1. h. b., Brinley, f. b., Seigler, 1. e., Fendig, 1. t., Collins, c. g., Gwin, c., Rider, r. t.. George, r. e., Wood, r. g., Sayler, q. b. The Rensselaer boys were handicapped, not having their regular men in all places, the 1. h. b. and f. b. being absent. The Remington men averaged heavier, and really had the game won three minutes before time expired, and but for the remarkable 100-yard run of Brinley, who got the ball at the home goal and carried it safely to the Remington gpal and made the winning touchdown, with less than a minute to spare. Brown, of the Rensselaer team made the first touchdown after a run of fifty yards. New grocery, new goods, new prices; everything fresh and clean; cheap for cash. Remember H. J.
