Old Delphi Debt to Be Discharged.

The city of Delphi, Carroll county, has arrauged to have the banks of that city take up bonds to the amount of $22,000, that have been outstanding for the past thirty years. The bonds were given by the city in 1878 to settle a claim the Monon or Air Line railroad had against that city for a voted aid in the construction of the road. The proposition had been brot to Delphi to vote a $75,000 assistance, with the understanding that the railroad shops were to be built within a half mile of the city. The road was built but the shops were built at Monon and after a long legal battle it was decided by the courts that Delphi should pay $25,000. They had already paid $3,000 in cash, and they gave 30 year 7 per cent bonds to raise the balance. The name of Alfred McCoy is associated with the Influence brought to get Delphi to vote the tax originally. During the thirty years $46,200 has been paid as Interest Delphi would have gladly discharged the debt many years ago, but It • was provided that no part of It could be paid for 30 years. So that Delphi has in ail paid out $71,200 in addition to what the litigation cost them, for the Monon railroad.

T . - There will be 1,371 delegates to the democratic state convention to be held March 25th and 26th. Jasper’s quota is 7. Beveridge’s address before the Lincoln League at Wabash last night was a ringer. Perhaps four years from now Indiana may have a candidate that all of us will take off our coats for. Daniel Storms, former secretary of state, is now at the head of the Blue' Light Mining Co., of Goldfield, Nevada. He is spending a few days in Indianapoiis. He likes the west and says he expects to remain there. The post-master of Bridgeport, 111., committed suicide yesterday. He was a prominent business man, about 38 years old, and had been highly respected, but for the past few months he had neglected business and his decline seemed very rapid. He was a widower with two children. There is a big telephone war waging at Bloomington, Ind., because the company undertook to increase the rental of both residence and business phenes, and 900 of the 1350 subscribers ordered their phones taken out, but they have found It very inconvenient A new independent company is being organized. The main fight seems to be between the national bunks of the city. Congressman Crumpacker was by no means the only man who considered the language of Representative Tawne/ as directed toward the President very objectionable, but the credit of Immediately taking his feet to resent the attack belongs to Mr. Crumpacker. The vote to recede from the action Of the appropriations committee and to concur in the amendment of the senate was defeated by a vote of 101 to 56, but this was on the proposiiton as to whether the should l e paid or not, and did not Involve the question whether the President was within his bounds in appointing the comm if.f ci, and many have expressed themselves, both in the house and senate, and claimed that the executive hail ample authority to appoint the commission and that the appointment certainly carried with It the right to have the commission paid. It is probable that the money for the commission will be paid after a few of the objectors cool off.

The new citizens’ telephone corncompany at Bloomington has been organized and 935,000 in stock subscribed. Richard P. Hobson, hero of the Merrimac, thinks war with the Japs inevitable, and urges navy increase. He spoke Thursday night at Anderson advocating a $50,000,000 annual appropriation for strengthening the navy: ; There will doubtless be much temperance legislation attempted at the next Indiana general assembly, and the saloon interests are said to have paid, agents now starting out on a campaign to bust temperance legislation. Temperance people therefore, be on the alert. Supt. Bevans, of the Benton county poor farm, was attacked by Claude Dodson, the maniac who murdered his aged grandmother a short time ago, and had it not been for the interference of the other inmates, Bevans would have been beaten to death. On account of the increasing business the Monon shop men will again work eight hours a day. Since the first of the year the employes in all the departments of the shops have worked but five hours a day, but the slump of three months ago is over and Friday the employes will'begin work on the old scale. Congressman Crum packer offered an amendment to the executive, legislative and judicial appropriation bill Friday, reducing t&e mileage allowed to senators, members and delegates from 20 cents to 8 cents a mile, but the amendment was rejected on a point of order raised by Englebrlght, of California C. W. Kruger, deputy fire chief of New York, known as the “grand old man of the Ore department" lost his life Friday while leading a fight against a bad fire In Canal street He always led In fire fighting with ihn command: ms, boyii, M and on this occasion led six men Into a basement to get at the base of a fierce Are, and stepping on a trap door was plunged Into six feet of water in the sub-basement and drowned before he could be pulled out Others had a close call.

had been a member of the fire department for 37 years and was a noted fire fighter. Willie Robertson, formerly slush splasher of the Kankakee Valley Telephone, now running a sort of misfit organ at Fowler, viewed the recent convention in Rensselaer from behind a cigarette, and went home and Bald some caustic things about the convention and the people behind It. He took the side of the underdog, and howled worse than the whipped candidate did. He has furnished the democratic papers ‘with a topic for discussion, and that is about all the good he has done for either himself or the party that he wants to support him, and he didn’t tell all the truth either.
