Val Seib arrived home from his trip across the broad Atlantic, last Sunday, after an absence of six . -weeks and one day.

The Rensselaer Stock Farm owners do notintend that their big sale sliall fail of a full degree of success for want of proper advertising. The Republican office has {wanted for them 1,500 large card-board sale bills, is printing the same number of 34 page catalogues, while their advertisement will appear in 15 or 20 newspapers. They know the value of printer’s ink. ?

A couple of light weigths had a prize fight m the big barn, at Shelby Saturday night, which was witnessed by several hundred toughs and sports from Chicago. Information had been received here that the fight would take place at Thayer in Newton county, and arrangements had been made by Porscutcr Marshall, Sheriff Blue and others to go up on the early train Sunday morning and ~get ~EEe necessary warrants from Squire Ray,and arrest the outfit, but when it became known that the fight was to be across the river, out of this judicial circuit and out of Squire Ray’s jurisdiction, the project was abandoned. The arrest and punishment of the principals and a lot of their abbetors would have been a salutary lesson to the Chicago sports who are in the habit of coming to Indiana for their prize fights &c.

Monon Wreck at Battle Ground.

Shortly after midnight last Wednesday night, the south bound passenger train on the Monon encountered an open switch just sbuth bf the Battle Ground station. The engine was tipped over on its side and the baggage car derailed. The fireman clung to the engine as it went ovei, and escaped with a few bruises. Jas. Covington, the engineer, of Lafayette, was very badly injured, jumping from the locomotive as he felt the cab going over. His injuries are internal, and the doctors cannot state how serious. Baggageman Newton was more or less bruised, but not seriously harmed. The wreck caused a delay of about eight hours to the train, and a temporary track was built around the wreck to enable the north bound passenger to go through.

THE SO-CALLED “PEOPLES CONVENTION.”

A convention was held at the court house yesterday afternoon, pursuant so a call issued by Geo. W. < Casey, Frank J. Gant, Austin N. Lakin, J. W. Noland and S. P. Barker, claiming to be in accordance with the wishes of a number of the sub-alliances of Jasper county, to nominate a county ticket. The meeting was first addressed by Mn Smith, of the Indianapolis Globe, after which the followsng ticket was nominated : '■ \ Walter Harrington (the democratic candidate) for clerk; C. W. Horner, of Carpenter township, for auditor: John L. Nichols of Barkley, for treasurer, Wm. Ventling (the democratic candidate) for sheriff. the call was nominally in the name of a portion of the Alliance, it was far from an . Alliance movement, and nine tenths of the members of the Alliance disclaims the movement, A considerable numberof the members of the Alliance were present, but only those who favored the nomination of a ticket were allowed to vote, and the number of these was small. Primarily the movement was gotten up for the benefit of John Nichols, secondarily for, the benefit of certain democratic candidates; but it will do no good to any of them. It was announced that no one would be nominated unless he would renounce all allegiance to all parties except the 'Peoples, andj this Mr. Nichols very promptly agreed to do. The ruie~does not seem to have been enforced however, in the case of the democratic candidates who were endorsed. It was called a' “Peoples’ Convention” but only those who could give the Alliance password were allowed to stay in the room, and of those who could stay in, only those who favored the movement were allowed to vote. *>-
