years, who at one time was insured for $125,000, died last night in this city. Last summer Stewart came hear dying, and the symptoms of his disease strongly indicated poise ning. His illness was due to drinking whisky adulterated with strychnine. Several of the persons who held policies on his life are said to have given liquor vendors orders to give him all the whisky he wanted and charge the -amount to them.

Mrs. Joanna Armstrong, of Terre Haute, aged 88, is one of thirteen young ladies who served as maids of honor in the reception tendered General Lafayette, in New York city, when he visited t his eoun try iu 1824 Only one other of the thirteen, besides Mrs. Armstrong, survives. Eir'Jy ph Wednesday morning last. Mrs. H. Vermillion, who lives?at West Poin t. Tiooeean oe county, left .; her

home to be gone all day, leaving' her

daughter, by a former husband, Julia

Ward, at home. On her return in the

evening she found her daughter dead.

The cause of her- death has not yet

been ascertained. Two ex-treasurers of Adams county,

John Meibers and John Derkson, have taken advantage of the Supreme Court

decision in the Gregory case. : During the vears 1871, 1872, 1873, and 1874 the

treasurers were allowed 5 per cent, for

the collection of delinquent taxes

These two;treasurers faileu to take their per cent, at the time, and now lay in a bill of several hundred dollars against

the county. Just after dark, on Thursday night, Dr. Comstock, of Marietta, Shelby county, heard some one call his name, aud went to the door. He was immediately knocked down and seriously beaten with stones by two men, named James K. P. Shaw and George Hunt. He lie in a dangerous condition. An old feud was at the bottom of the trouble. 1

Two roughs entered Vol heim's saloon at-Laporte aud called for liquor. Being refused they created a disturbance. Mrs. Volheim, comiug in and asking them to be quiet, was struck upon the forehead with a heavy spittoon, breaking her skull. A bystander interfering to save the woman was kncckeddown and badly hurt. The men then ran, but were pursued by the ofticers and captured after a despeiate struggle. Mrs. Volheim's iiyuiies are probably mortal. ' James J. Perrin, of Lafayette, who has been several years treasurer of the school board, has accounted for about $10,000 interest on the funds in his hands, although the courts have decided that there was no law requiring it. At bis iusfauee the board has directed that this interest money shall be expended in the establishment of a .free public library, and at the last meeting of the board committees were appointed to ae'ecl books. Mr. Perrin's free-will offering, in the face of

the precedent of vcara, and of the decision of Judtre Viutou, in thus handing over $10,000 is certainly praiseworthy. -- . -: : " - Long gloves of white lace are worn for diuner and drets occasions,

BUFFALO'S PIPE LIKE.

Shipmg Petroleum Through a Six ty -three Mile Straw.

'While the rest of the country is at the summer resorts drawing lemonade, or something more exhilerating, through the straws, the city of Buffalo applies its mouth to a huge tube sixtythree miles in length, and imbibes petroleum. The oil country was tapped on Tuesday by the thirsty bison village, and the followiug from the Buffalo Kxnress tell alls about it: About four o'clock yeslerday afternoon a stream of oil four inches in diameter was. forced through a pipe into a 317,000 -barrel tank, located on . the Schemerhorn farm, on Elk street, near Babcock, and a clud of spray which came -through the man-ho!(ega ve notice tobpse in the vicinity sshat the first barrci of crade oil to arrive in Buffalo other than by rail was here. For several horns along the pine line stretching away from the tank, through valleys and over hiils, to near the Pennsylvania line, and almost to the heait of the greatest oil producing district of the world, could be heard the click,

click, from the pipes,, showing that somewhere a pulsing engine was sending through -them the. .-oleaginous fluid which has developed almost inaccessible sections of conn try, built cities, and, led more men. to sudden affluence and as quickly others to bitter poverty; than al m osi t a ny bran ch of iadus try the world has ever known. It. was ;?ome three years ago that the

subject br a, pipe line to this city was

first proposed, and it was not long refore the tilan assumed definite shape

under the hands of a number of promi-.

nent bumness men. who were rai

sighted enough to see that it would be

a paying enterprise, it was not long before a company was. formed, and an

organization was effected.. under the

Mannfaci unug act ot inen tne first important step the securing of a

riirht of wav was looked for. The

ground w as carefully gone over and the route selected. Then arose a difficulty

which' nroved insurmountable. At all

poin ts along the line excepting two, no

dtmcui ty was expel lencea in securing

tne desinc! right. But mo-JNew xoi'K, Lake Eria aud Western Biil way inter-

posed objections lo the line crossing

their pronvtv at Allegheny, ami two

iiropt rty-owners at EUicotl ville would

not permit the pipes to be lai i, nor

would they sell tiieirlauant apy ttjure.
