C. B. Steward and Win. Ervin scuffied Saturday e vening to see which could be the first to get into Bob Phillips’ barber shop. Ervin scored the point, but went through the glass door of the shop to do it.

Some of the candidates on the Marion tp., Prohibition ticket are. Berry Paris for Trustee, Joseph Clark for Assessor, S. A. Henry an d Webb Reeve for Justices and A. L. Willis for constable.

Other parties are 1 short of offices to supply the candidates, the Prohibitionists have hard work to find candidates to supply the offices. There are more offices than voters in their party.

Mrs. Susanna Arnold was given a divorce, in the circuit court, Tuesday, from Andrew H. Arnold, the celebrated inventor, on the grounds of abandonment and failure to provide. There are six children, from 16 years old downward, the custody of whom is given to the mother. r The New Albany Ledger gives a lengthy interview with Director Winstandley, of the Louisville, New Alban}' & Chicago road, who has just returned from an inspection of the line in company with the newly elected officers. He stated that neithe r the Pennsylvania Company nor the Louisville & Nashville Company owns a dollar of Monon stock; nor did either of these companies direct the deal, nor did any lawyer or any number of lawyers direct the deal. It was managed by President Breyfogle, and the large stockholders of the Monon were in sympathy with it from the start, because the road had not been managed to suit them, nor to their financial advantage by the former management. It will have the sympathy and be in harmony with the Pennsylvania lines and the Louisville & Nashville road, exchanging business with both these great lines. Brown’s Comedy Company completed their engagement here last Saturday night, having given nine evening entertainments and two matinees. They played in “hard luck” and did not, by a good deal, clear their expenses. The explanation of their long stay here is to be found in the fact that the company was being disorganized and reorganized for the coming season. Further that no money could be made, any place, until after Easter. The houses they played to ranged in value from thirty or forty dollars down to three or four. It can be said to their credit, however, that they played as well for twenty spectators as for two-hundred. Some important members of the company have left it while here, including the little girl, Gertie Ewing. A portion of the company is still here, while the manager, Mr. Brown, is in Chicago trying to effect arrangements for resuming the road again.

The paternity suit of Clara V. Schrader vs. N. H. Guild has been on trial in the circuit court, since Mon. day. Owing to the prominence of the parties, it is probably the most interesting case of the kind ever tried in Jasper county. The plaintiff belongs to a respected German family, of Walker tp., while the defendant is a seioirof wtat isprobably, without doubt, the most prominent family of Gillam tp. The plaintiff is only 17 years old and the defendant is not yet 19, although he is now married to a most estimable young lady of his township. The plaintiff is the mother of a fine pair of twins, born some time during the past winter. The young mau denies the charge brought against him, and the case has been hotly contested, in every particular. Of course the trial has attracted a large audience, but it is mucli to the credit of the attorneys conducting it that those who have attended in the holies of hearing prurient particulars, in the language of the vernacular, have, for the most part, been disappointed. All the proceedings have been characterized by a commendible regard for decency'. The case was drawing to a close as
