The L., N A. & C. people seem to be unable to purchase new equipments as rapidly as their business improves. They have twenty more first class freight engines, and 600 more cars than they had a year ago yet they are unable to fill the numerous orderadfor cars,, even for their local business. The; subject of a new hotel for Bloomington has again been revived One plan is to. be made a hotel out of the Allen & Lowden corner block Another plan is to buy the NationaLHouse from Guyman, for $5,500, and extend and remodel it, spending about $3,000 for that purpose.
Mr. Lawes and some of our leading
citizens now have this project under consideration, but some parties from New York are expected here next week and if they buy the National' they will re-build at their own expense. The following marriage licenses have been issued since we last pub;

As the printer would express it,a
locomotive and some freight cars were badly pied at the depot last
Saturday morning. The cars were
standing- on the main track when a freight train- came thundering down the grade from the North. In a
few moments the locomotive looked
like a frame house struck by light
ning, and a flat car was tossed over
into a neighboring door yard. Enr gineer Harding, of Lafayette, broke

Gentlemen, are you interested in the following? Many of you promjj ised faithfully to call and settle your accounts with us "after barest." Harvest is over; so is threshing. Now we ash you, in all candor, to come and see us.
An eighteen-month s old child of Andy Wyeoff, residing 6 miles East of town, was burned to death on Thursday night of last week. The parents were temporally absent from the room when the child pulled the lamp from a mantle, the lamp smashed, the oil caught on fire and the child's clothes were ignited. The mother heard the child's screams and rushed to its rescue, and her hands were badly burnt in trying to extingn ish the flames. Dr. Harris, of this city, was called, and did all he could for the little sufferer but it died soon after. .. ... .
The Teachers Association will meet in Bloomington the latter part of November. The program has been prepared and it is-a most excellent one. This is the first meeting of the association, and the prospects are very flattering for its complete success. Bloomington Division No. 33, Uniform Rank, K. of P., went to Columbus last week to attend the first annual encampment of the 4th regiment. This regiment is composed of the divisons of Bloomington, New Albany, Jefferson ville, Madison, Columbus, Shelby ville, Franklin and Lawrenceburg. Of all these cities Bloomington sent the largest division and for their interest displayed in their work, were publicly complimented by Generals Carnahan and Ross. The two nights in Columbus were spent in camp under the strictest military discipline. The day exercises consisted o Gnard Mount,Battalion Drill,and Company Drills. On Wednesday the Parade was given, and it was quite a success. The line of march was near five miles in length. A dance was given Tuesday evening in honor of the Sir Knights. Our boys express themselves as enjoying the trip hugely and they return
a firmer resolve than ever to make
their division one of the crack companies of the State. Our neighbors of Bloomington appear to appreciate our fine artesian water. The Courier says : "A man was in town, last week, with a barrel of Martinsville artesian water, which he retailed at 20 cents per gallon. The water is not so
strong as that which can be pumped
from our well. We have better
water but it is harder to get at."
Sour grapes. Mr. Courier. The samp
man was up nere, cms weeic, ana
filled several barrels, jugs, &c, witji pur artesian water, to be retailed in
Bloomington. If the water of the latter place is "better" than ours,
the difficulty of utlilizing in could
be easily remedied. 'Scat. Martinsville Gazette.
Now, see how you rave. We
would be friends with Tou and buy
your artesian water did wenot,have
better of our own, and a company
organizing to uti'ize it. ay the
way, the man with the lmrrels, jugs, &c. never reached here on a second trip. What our visitors have been telling you is taffy. Good judges will, tell you your sulphur water is mixed with with fresh water.

The usally quiet and modest lit
tle village of Harrodsburg, this countv. has been "all torn up" since
u ' . - early Saturday morning over a
fatal shooting affrav. The Courier-
hatt interviewed a number of Har
rodsburg citizens, looked over the
evidence as taken before Corner
Maxwell Monday,and heard a stated meat made by the prisoner, and ill spite of mau3r other wild stories and rumors, is satisfied that the following account of the terrible affair" is about correct. Els worth Anderson, a young man about 25 years of age, was living at llarroclsburgh with a widowed mother. He was a son of Archie Anderson who died a number of years ago, and a double cousin of Ed;
Anderson. lie had been working
in tiie quarry near larrousuuiy,
and on Thursday of last week laid off to come to the show at Bloomington. He drank pretty heavily during the day, and the next day he went to Bedford and continued his spree. He returned to Harrodsburg on the accomodation train Friday night and soon after went to the house of Sarah Meadows, who
was living alone, with the exception of three.small children. He said, that he was going t the house for the purpose of outraging the lone woman. This was about midnight. Arriving at the house he ordered the ivoman to open the door using language to the effect that he intended sharing her bed with her. The woman tried to shame him away telling him that he ought to have more respect for a young lady at Guthrie whom he was about to marry. Anderson finally left without gaining admission but said he would get some whisky at Oldham's and return. Mrs. Meadows at once took her children to an adjoing house, occupied l3r Joe Smith, and left them there. She related the circumstances to Smith, and said if Anderson returned she would shoot him. She returned to her house alone, and in a short time Anderson made his appearance. He again demanded admittance, cursing and using indecent language. The woman appealed to him to go away, bnt finally Anderson kicked the door open, which was fastened only by a button. He grabbed the woman about the waist. With one hand she threw him away from her, and as he was about to advance again she fired the shot. The ball was a 32. It entered just above the collar bone and lodged in the back, making a frightful wounds Anderson ran a few yards and then fell calling for help. He appeared to be dying, and was taken to his mother's house. Dr. Lowder dressed the wound, but the unfortunate young man lingered in great pain until about 3 o'clock Monday morning,, when he died. He talked but little before his death. Dr. Maxwell went down to hold an inquest Monday. There were no living eye witness to the terrible midnight scene but the woman. She told a straight story, which was generally believed, although, it is said, her reputation for chastity has not been the best. The Coroner's
verdict was that the deceased came to his death by a pistol shot, at the
hands of Mrs. Meadows. The woman was brought to this place Monday night and lodged in jail. Mr. R. A. Fulk was engaged as her attorney, and he advised her to make no statement before the grand jury or to any one else, until she told her story in court.

While on a spree at Bedford over a year ago he cuft the Bloomington and Bedford mail pouch while it was at the depot not to rob it, but out of pure devilment. A Government officer got after him and he fled to the West. Tuesday afternoon, the grand jury still being in session, the case was taken up, and a number of witnesses from II arrodsburg examined.

Mr. John Graham recently wrote to Dr. H. V. Norvell for information concerning the new railway about
which our people are so anxious,
and received the following in reply : !Wojrk is progressing rapidly in
theroad froni Palestine, to Effing
ham, and will soon be completed, making iji a standard gauge, from Switz City to Effingham. I am ordered to proceed with the right of way from Bloomfield West and will
commence on Tuesday next. Mr. Ally, who has returned from Boston
met Mr. Blue in Chicago yesterday.
I know of nothing discouraging. Will perhaps know more of the con
dition of things, soon, I was to have been in your city some two weeks
since, l neneve ftir. iiue so informed Mr. Feltus; About the time
I was to have been there I was
directed so Chicago. I met Major
Perry on the streets of Indianapolis
and expected to meet him. again at
the Grand Hotel where I expected
to give him some information, also
to send an excuse for my not ap-
peoring at Bloomington. I was detained, and did not get to the hotel
as I expected, I am in no way dis
couraged in regrad to the railroad.
1 am confident the company is in earnest, and will not fail to do all
in their power." There wfs rather an novel scene at the spacious store room of the McPheeters Hardware Co., in this city, on last Monday night between six and seven o'clock. For the time being the noise and bustle of the busy establishment gave way for a pleasant little drama in real life in which Cupid and Hrmen were the principal actors. In plain language, it was a real wedding, with James Sweeny, of tills city and Susan Clark, of Salt Creek township as the high contracting parties.
That evening Miss Clark had walked twelve miles to town to join her affianced husband, and upon her arrival, he speedily made arrangements to tie the knot, Charley McPheeters was selected by the groom to arrange all the little preliminaries, which he did to perfection. 'Squire Tate was summoned, and in the presence of a large and interested audience, the ceremony was performed. Capt. Shoemaker stood as the groom's best man, and Charley McPheeters gave the bride away; which entitled him to the first kiss, and Capt. Shoemaker came next. The cohgratulatioiis were many and hearty, but the only present was a rattle box which Charley modestly slipped into the pocket, of the groom. The happy young couple then repaired to the National Hotel where they ate their bridal supper and spent the night.

AT THE COUNTY If AIR NEXT WEEK.
The trial of Charles M. Leas for the murder of PhillipDick at Bloomington last week, resulted in a verdict for two years in the penitentiary The verdict is considered by some as a light one, and even condemned by some as not being neavjr enough. But this is probably by those not familiar with the facts. It is said by some, who heard the eveidence and the argument, that nearly all the testimony for both srdesyshowed that Dick war to blame in bringing on the fight, and that a fair case of self defense was made out. The case was closely contested on both sides. The Pros. Att'y., Wm. Asher, and I. H. Fowler for the State, and Beem & Hickam and Miers for Leas. It is thought by those who heard the trial that if Leas had behaved himself and kept kept away from the saloons, he would have been acquitted. But it was ever thus ! A man's character, good or bad,is a power for or against him in time of trouble, and so it ought to be. The defendant made no 'motion for a new trial, although his lawyers say they could gotten it by asking, as the prisoner was not arraigned and never entered his plea of "not guilty" before the trial as the law requires, Spencer Democrat.
