The effeets of the Great Storms.

The great storm of Wednesday evening, of last week, was general over most of Indiana and Ohio, and wrought fearful destruction of life and property,' in many places. Excellent accounts of its general ravages will be fouad oTt our inside pages, In many parts of Jasper county the storm was much more severe than in Rensselaer* afid considerable damage was done in places, by wind and hail, to buildings, fruit, fences, gardens &c. * But by far the most serious results-of the storms in this vicinity will he fr.un the enormous rainfall of Wednrsday, Thursday and Friday nights. This can not"fail to do great damage in retarding the work of the farmers, especially the planting of the corn, but it has washed out or caused to rot much that was already planted, and besides drtnvned out many fields of other grain than corn. The violence of the storm in various parts of the county will be seen from the following notes gleaned from visitors from the surrounding country: In some parts of Jordan township the storm was very severe. In the vicinlty of Dr. J. C. Deming’s place, it is asserted that if the truth about the size of the hailstones was stated, people would think it exaggeration. The wind was also very violent there, “Large trees were blown down; every leaf and blossom were stripped from the fruit trees; the prospects for small fruits utterly ruined, strawberry beds and vegetable gardens cut clean to the ground. All the windows in the north side of the doctor’s house, not protected by shutters, were broken out, and n young man tvlio wrh attempting to keep a window sash from blowing in was badly cut a omit the' face and hands, by hail and broken glass. Horses and cattle were badly cut and bruised.” Of course many of the doctor’s neighbors suffered equally with him, from the storm. K- V. bjnodgrass, O. Ritchey, Dr. J. Ritchey, Harley lliff, Mr. Lewis, and others being among the number. In the vicinity of Mr. Harvey W. Wood’s ivsidenco,. in Marion township, south of Rensselaer, the storm was also very severe. In Mr, Wood’s house 16 large panes of glass, each -of them iilliug a whole sash, broken out. P. C. Wasson, near |Mr. Wood, also J. T. McCord and others, have been obliged to make heavy purchases of window glass.

At Marlborough, in Hanging Grove many windows were broken out of J. Phillips’ store, and' considerable damage done to the goods, by rain and hail. A great many windows were broken from Mr. Fred Zard’s residence, near the station, and fences and apple trees blown down on every hand. In the vicinity of especially severe. J. V. Parkinson for instance, having lost about fifty window lights. .

Our County Candidates.

James F. Irwin. Candidate County Clerk. James F. Irwin• the genial candidate for Clerk of the (fireuit Court, represents the wealthy and prosperous township of Carpenter. He was born a Hoosier and has been doing the same ever since. Ho was born in Hamilton county. August Brd. 1842, being now nearly 44 years old. The day he was 21, ho became a resident of Jasper county. Not long after that date lie joined the army sis a private in company “F.” of the 132nd Indiana Infan- 1 try. At the close of bis term of service ho returned to Carpenter township, this county, which place continued to be his residence until he was elected Clork in 1882. As an excellent evidence of his talents for public affairs and ot ‘'the estimation in, which his nearest neighbors held him, it may be stated that for a period of nearly twelve years he filled the responsible and laborious office of Trustee of Carpenter township. In 1882 he led the entile ticket by over thirty votes, and his opponent on the democratic ticket was a most excellent and popular man, at that. Mr. Irwin has an excellent education, well fitting him for the duties of his office; and as a Clerk he has always been prompt, obliging, efficient, and zealous forthe pubic good. Not the least fault can bo found with the manner in which he has conducted his office. He will receive the full party vote, and probably considerably more.

George M. Itoblngon. Candidate for County Auditor. Mr. Robinson was born in Summit county, Ohio, May sth, 1844. He was presont at the event, in person, and is able to vouch for the accuracy of this statooient. He came to Jasper county when he wa3 20 years old, and has resided here ever since. During tjie first few years of his residence in this county he pursued the pleasant but not particular profitable profession of a pedagogue. Later he earned llis livlihood as a contractor and builder. In 1876 he yvas elected Sheriff of the county, and re-elected in 1878, leading ids tic ket both times. In 1882 ho was elected county Auditor, after one of most remakable contests eyer made for a county office. His opponent held the fort, and was the candidate of both the Democrat’s and the Grcenbaokors, and the whole strength of both organizations was-combined in a desperate effort for his election. Eat Mr. Robin*-' son triumphed over all their efforts and was elected by 150 majority. lie has discharged the duties of the office s os Auditor, the most difficult, arduous and responsible of any county officer, in a manner which leaves not even to his most critical enemies, the slightest ground for “ fakir finding. Personally ho has the-largost direct aequantance with individuals, and is the most popular with the masses of the people of any man in the county. He is greatly gifted yvith those qualities of geniality, frankness and manlines s which win and hold the affections of the common people. This wonderful popularity among the Republican masses is clearly shown by the tremendous vote they cast for him at the late primary mass convention. He will have a walk-over this fall, and, more thaa likely, will get considerable more than-a full party vote..

if. B. Washburn. candidate for countt treasurer. Was born iii Cass county, Ind. Ilis father who is a farmer, inovod to Pulaski county in June 1838, when he lived continuously since, excepting from 1858 to 1862, which time he livfcd in Cass county. Dr. Washburn commenced the study of medicino in 1858 and graduated in Jammy, 1861. He worked on a farm and taught school during tho remainder of the year until ho onlistod as a private in Co. 1, 46th Regiment Ind. Vols.,in November 1861. In November 1862, he was appointed an assistant surgeon, to succeed the late Dr. W. S. Haymond. In October 1863, he was apnomted surgeon of Ihs regiment. After a service ot over three years he was mastered out by reason of expiration of term of service. After which he located in Star City* Pulaski county, where he practiced his profession nearly nine years. In 1870 ho was elected joint represenative for the countiesof Pulaski, Jasper and Newton, running ahead of his ticket in Pulaski county. He was elected township trustee in Oot, t 1872, atid served to the following April, when he removed to Logansport to engage in the drag trade. He oamo from Logansport to Jasper county in 1877. The doctor is an honorable, higfir toned, Christian gentleman, and his name on tho ticket will be as *Hfcwer of strength to the Republican cause in the countv.

Samuel E. Teoman Candidate for County Sheriff. Mr. Yeoman is the only native Jasperite on the ticket, 110 was fiorn in what is now Newton township, in August in 1-839, being thus nearly 47 years old -although ho doesn’t Igok it. He was the first native of the county ever elected sheriff, and with two or throe exceptions the first to hqld any county office. Sam inherited a warlike disposition and in the very first year of the war enlisted in the syth Indiana Infantry. The following, .year ha hail the great misfortune to be run by a wagon and very badly hurt, and this was followed by such a severe attack of lung fever as to cause his honorable discharge from the service. Later he wished to enter the 128th regiment, but the surgeons rejected him on account Sf the disability resulting from his former injury and sickness. record is thus greatly to his credit, and shows that,he did all he could for the Union cause. Re is now drawing a pension on account ol his injuries in the army, Three of Mr. Yeomans brothers were also in the army. One of them, Ira, was killed on the picket line, at Duck river, another, Asa, also laid down his life in his country’s cause. Ho foil a victim to tho dreadful hardships at the seigq of Vicksburg. The third soldier brother, Alvin, is now living in Chicago. Mr. Yeoman was elected sheriff in 1884, and was the first county officer from Newton township. He is a very pleasant and courteous gentleman, and has filled the duties of his ollice with marked zeal and fidelity. He will be rc-electeiPas a matter of course, and without difficulty. Tliomas Antrim. Candidate for County Recorder. Mr. Antrim is a representative of the northern portion of the county in general, and of the banner Republican township of Keener, in particular. He is an old time “befo the wah” Republican, having helped organize the party in this county 1854. He was also a delegate to the convention that first nominated Schuyler Colfax for Congrsss. In days still earlier he was a “con.duetnriL.ou one of the lines of the famous “underground railroads” and helped many a poor darkey over the line into Canada The old gentleman has weathered a good many hard winters in this vale of tears; having been born in 1814, in Clinton county, Ohio. Six years later his par efits proved to Wayne county, this state, since which time, a period of 66 years, Mr. Antrim lies been a resident of Indiana. He came to Jasper county, in 1853.

Ho was elected Recorder in 1882, his opponent being a very popular young man of Remington, and he hustled the old man pretty close, but the latter is better known now, and besides has kept the work of his office in such excellent shape that he will have no trouble in carrying the full party strength. The tremendous majority of the popular Republican vote, over two good men, which he received at the late primary conventions, is conclusive proof of the high estimate in which ho is held by the masses of the party.

James C. Tlirawls. Candidate for Surveyor. Mr, Thrawls is a native of Maryland, but~has lived in Indiana since 1840. He is now 60 years old, but halo and vigorous, and a most competent' surveyor. Ho has been surveyor cf Carroll and Wabash counties, and city engineer in the town of" Wabusfi. lie has field the office for Which he is a now a candidate for tho last two years, and discharged its duties efficiently,, pram-. ptly, and to the complete satisfaction of everyone with whom ho came in contact.

Philip Illue. .... Candidate FOP a Conoxsu. TTnylast sentence in our notice of Mr. Thrawle will apply.equally well to the candidate for coroner, Mr. Philip Blue. He has filled the office for two years and;had occasion to •‘sit” on several Corpses, not (meof Whom Was ever known to utter the least, complaint in regard to Mr. Blue’s.treatment of them personally nor of the justice, fairness and ability with which he inquired into the J why aud the wherefore of each curpus delicti that cajne under his his official inspection.

REMINGTON ITEMS. Some inaccuracies crept into oar letter of last week which those interested will please donProf. L. N. Fonts left for Hope,. IM., where he expects to conduct a Normal this, su'nmer beginning, ►Tuesday of this week. The upsetting of a braider of burning charcoal on the roof of J. E. Hoilett’s new (ire-proof building came uear causing a serious conflagration last Saturday. Key. L. Nebeker and wife spent Sunday and Monday in itemington, the guests of Mr. and Mrs J.' E. Hollett, where a reception was hold for them on Monday afternoon and evening. • It. J. Bowes, traveling special agent for the Bradley Manufacturing Co., died very suddenly at Salem, Ina. T He was in Kemington a few weeks ago, looking as though he might live for years to come. John A. Clark, of Orlando, Florida, is at home for a brief visit with parent and friends. We are glad to be able to state that John is in good health with good prospects ahead of him in the land of his adoption.

throat frightfully lacerated by coming in contract with a barbedwere fence. Dr. Patton sewed up the gash, which waa 2 inches long and san Inch deep. The little sufferer is in a somewhat precarious condition, but will probably recover. We have net time nor space to give an extended synopsis of commoncent exercises, but will say briefly that the programme was very interesting. The graduates, Misses Dora Morris, Alice Hollingsworth and Lottie Hoover, were were handsomely and tastefully dressed and their orations were well composed""' Hud well delivered. The closing exercises of the school on Thursday afternoon were much enjoyed by those present ,especially the play of Cinderella. Remington has reason to be proud of her excellent schools.

THE NEW THE MILL.

We are glad to bo able to state that there will soon be no occasion for farmers and others to send out of The county for their draining and sewer tile. When the extensive additions and alterations to M. G. Stackhouse’s big tile works, north of town, are completed, that factory, together with that of John Kohler, west of town, will be able, probably, to supply the entire home demand. Mr. Stackhouse is spending a large sum of money and fitting up his factory in excellent shape. He already has 100 feet of new shed room constructed, a new and improved crusher in position, and a 40 horsepower engine upon the way. He expects to begin making tile of all sizes in a short time.
