Rock is in a serious condition at his home in Charlottsville, Ind., and death may result from the wounds received at Bird's hands. The assault was made while both men were In a saloon and under the influence of liquor, according to report. Trouble in Saloon. Bird, who is a car inspector for the Pennsylvania railroad running out of this place, went to Knightstown Saturday morning to attend official duties. After he had performed these he

began making the rounds of the saloons and is said to have become intoxicated. While sitting in Brady's saloon indulging in a social game of

cards. Rock, it i3 asserted, came into

the place and began to curse Bird. "Warm words were passed between the two men. Rock, It Is said, then called Bird a vile name, and the latter grabbed the chair on which he had been sitting and dealt Rock four vicious blows over the head, felling the man to the floor. Came to Cambridge. In the excitement which followed, Bird calmly left the saloon and boarded a Pennsylvania train, arriving at his home in Cambridge City shortly after six o'clock. He went directly to his home and while seated at the supper table with his wife and daughter, was apprehended by Marshal Prischel, who had received a message from Knightstown apprising him of the assault.

For several months he conducted a dray line, while for some years he acted in the capacity of horsetralner.

Ctuhdued the Teller. There's a young fellow in Ilarlem who is inclined to "throw a bluff," as they say down in the Bowery. A few days ago he hail ?oOO to deposit and decided he'd change his bank. He dropped into a bank that is well known to accept no small deposits and told the teller that he wanted to open an account. "We don't accept small deposits," said the teller. And his tone was not exactly what might be called soothing. "Who asked you to accept a small deposit?" demanded the youth. "I did want to start an account with $."0.(Xk), but I'll go elsewhere." He got out before he could be stopped, leaving the telier with a look of pain and chagrin scattered about his countenance. New York Globe.

Frankfort, Ky., Aug. 24 After reading the statement made by ex-Governor W. S. Taylor, refugee from Kentucky in Indiana, Commonwealth Attorney Robert B. Franklin, who has had charge of all the Goebel murder cases, said: "Mr. Taylor evidently realizes that he is at last forced to say something to counteract the effect of the sentiment in the country at large that he should return to testify, immune to arrest while in Kentucky for that purpose, and undertakes after the weeks since the immunity proposition was made, by this statement to again prejudice the people of the country in his favor by rehashing the false charges against the Kentucky courts and its officials generally, which he and his associates, charged with this crime, have made from the beginning. "I am surprised that since the immunity proposition was first made he and those who have helped him prepare this political stump speech have been able to think of no better excuse for his not coming to testify than these counter-propositions. "Taylor refers to his deposition. That deposition was taken in Indiana upon written questions filed in the Scott Circuit Court and sent to Indiana by mail. Neither Caleb Powers

nor any representative of the commonwealth of Kentucky under the law, was

or could have been present when Taylor appeared before the Indiana officer to answer those questions. "Taylor does not fear that the terms of the immunity offered will be violated; what he fears is a cross-examination in open court before the country. He fears that such an examination would, as I stated in my letter to Governor Beckham on this subject, make plain one or the other of two facts, possibly both; first, that the contentions of the commonwealth with reference to the conspiracy that culminated in the murder of William Goebel are correct, or second, that Taylor himself is absolutely unworthy of belief."

Louis Brennan, inventor of the monorail train Is an Irish-Australian, who had already acquired fame and fortune from the torpedo which he had elaborated during years of patient study and experiment in an unpretentious back street of Melbourne. He is a native of Castlebar, in the west of Ireland, and as a boy at eleven arrived in Melbourne with his emigrating par

ents in 1S63. Apprenticed to a civil engineer, he displayed unusual aptitude in the mastery of details. He was only twenty-two when the first idea of his torpedo occurred to him and from that time until he "was thirty-five when the invention was purchased by the British war office for $.Vm,0", he was working night and day to bring it to perfection and interest naval and military authorities in its powers and potentialities.
