ADDITIONAL LOCALS.

Hod. Thos. H. N< Ison had a splen* did meeting at the court house, Tuesday afternoon. The room was packed to the utmost limit, and many went away, unable to obtain entrance. He gave the people a fine speech and one that wilt do great good to the Republican cause. The work ou the new addition to the Pavilion is progressing finely, and the catching of shadows is also going on. If you can’t catch yours call around and see how easily it is caught and preserved for future use, but not by the new French Process.

Prof. Fisk’s balloon and parachute exhibition, Tuesday, drew an enormous crowd. The balloon went up about 5 p. m., from M. O. Halloran’s lot. The birds, tame pigeons and a melancholly owl, were automatically released at a proper height, and fiew in every direction. The parachute carrying the team of goats, decended safely at the corner of Washington and Division streets, only three blocks from the starting point. The balloon came down about a quarter of a mile further east. Nearly all of the birds with business men’s cards on were captured or shot, and the rewards claimed. ; -

Reductions on all grades of sugar at Porter’s. See their price list. Don’t neglect to call and see the pattern hats at Mrs. Lecklider’s, on opening days. A very serious epidemic of typhoid fever in parts of Jordan tp., and Newton county, adjoining. Squire Wm. Cain, a well known citizen of Jordan, died with it Monday night. That same morning Mrs. Martin Snow also died. The wives John Ulm, Sr., and of John Ulm, Jr. and also of John Reed are very low; and so also is Chas. Heusler and Frank Phillips, on the Geo, Bessee farm. Some deaths previous to those above mentioned have occurred in the township, and quite a number in Newton county.

The only unpleasant incident cf balloon day, was a disturbance created by a young man named Sam Thurston, who was drunk and creating a disturbance. Burgess Dillon, who was acting as marshal in the sickness of Mr. McGowan, tried to quiet the fellow, and failing m that, to arrest him. Thurston drew a big knife however, and brandishing it about in a most reckless manner, narrowly missed stabbing a number of persons, and did cut Peter Minions across the back of his hand. Finally Mr. Dillon was compelled to club him, and did it most effectually, and Thurston was landed in j dl, with a very sore head. His father Wm. Thurston, very foolishly gathered a rock and tried to attack Mr. Dillon, and later he was also arrested, and on plea of guilty was fined $lO and costs, by Squire Burnham. If the case against young Thurston is pushed, it may go pretty hard with him. He is peacable and industrious when sober, but a bad man when drunk.

Three good stoves for sale, or to trade for wood. One is a good Owen stove. Also a good cupboard. Mrs. J. Q. Alter. Latest designs in pattern hats at M rs. Lecklider’s on opening days. The meeting at Marlboro, last Fri day night, at which A. McCoy was the principal speaker, was one of the largest and most enthusiastic yet held in the county. It was attended by an immense crowd, including fully 2uo from Rensselaer, who went down on the milk train, and returned in a special car attached to a freight, and provided at Mr. McCoy’s expense. The glee club and a martial band accompanied the Rensselaer delegation and their music was one of the principal features of the meeting. Mr. McCoy spoke for over an hour, and while, as a matter of course, his remarks Were largely humorous, yet he uttered many important political tiuths, in a way to make them plain to everyone. His remarks upon the disastrous effects of free trade upon the workingmen, were especially to the point. Mr. McCoy is one of the kindest hearted and most sympathetic men that ever 'lived, andthe great sufferings of the working people of this country, during the last 18 months, caused by the fear of Democratic free trade, have touched his heart greatly, aad in his desire for ; the success of the only party that j ever gave prosperity to ail the people of this country, is most earnest

A Boy’s Bad Break.

There was quite a large siz d sensation io town Sunday morning. The everting previous, Jim Randle, the 17 year old son of one of onr wealthiest families., procured a horse and buggy at Cambe’s livery stable,

ostensibly to drive into the country to attend a dance. During the night the horse and buggy, without a driver, were found loose in the streets of town, and in the buggy was a derby hat, with two bullet holes through the brim, and near the holes a smear ol what looked like blood. The holes in the hat were not in such position as to indicate that the bullets had gone into the head of the weirer, still many people at fit st believed that the boy had been shot But when the milk train that evening arrived, Grant Warner, who was on the train, reported that he saw and spoke to young Randle, on the train just before it reached Hammond, he being in company with Clarence Sigler. It is evident that the boy had fixed up the bullet pierced hat, for the sake of creating a sensation. It looks like be was suffering from an overdose of the proverbial “yellow-back” literature.

The Circuit Court.

The October term of the Jasper Circuit Court is now in session, with Judge Wiley on the bench. His honor's health is evidently much improved by his northern sojourn. Tuesday was the banner divorce day in the history of the county, three having been granted. The divorced parties were: Joseph I. Adams, of Marion tp., from Susan M. E. Adams, for abandonment. Clara Griffith from Perry Griffith, for desertion. This case is from Remington. James Rogers from Mary A. Rogers, for desertion. The plaintiff lives ia Wheatfield. The pettit jury has been notified not to appear until the last week of the term, and there will probably be no court next week.

The divorce mill resumed its grind yesterday, and to such effect that Tuesday’s unequalled record was broken , four decrees being granted The parties were: Idora Armstrong, of Kankakee tp., was given a divorce from Benj. F. Armstrong, for abandonment. Emily Faunce, of Rensselaer, from John Faunce. Also, abandonment. Mary A. Downer, of Keener tp., from Frank Downer. Cruelty, drunkenness and failure to provide. John H. Crawford, also of Keener, from Cassie Crawford. Cruelty, bad temper and filthy habits. The grand jury finished its work, yesteiday. Three indictments wire found. Sam Thurston, for assault with deadly weapon, and Squire O. Castor and Owen Hurley, for pettit larceny.

Concert.

Emma Warde Hoffman, the talented pianiste, will give a concert at the Rensselaer Opera House, Oct. 19th. She is a graduate of the College of Music of Cincinnati, where she won the gold medal for piano playing. She has a fine technique,and this coupled with talent of a high older makes her. a musician of unusual ability, and she has won golden opinions wherever she has appeared in concert. She will be assisted by the gifted young violinist, Bert Shepherd, of Chicago, and Mr. Frank Hardy, basso. Mr. Shepherd delights his audiences by his masterly playing upon that most difficult of instruments, the violin.
