They sold their old library because they got a new one. Mr. John Waldron, of- the Electric Light Co., in answer to complaints, explains that the cause of the recent failure of the lights was
on account of burning out of the dynamos. The dJay in paying premiums taken at the county fair is on account of the officers trying to make arrangements to pay them in full, or at least more than fifty per cent, as was at first intended.

It will be continued until 10 o'clock Saturday night, and is well worth a visit, Without visiting the place no one has an idea of how the Bioomington Oolitic Stone Co. is branching out at their quarry on West First street. Their new steam channeler is at work, and last week they raised a $1,200 derrick. They have about nine acres of ground, and several teams are busy ail the time removing the dirt from the top of the stone. In a short time they will have a switch built to the railroad, but at present the stone is hauled. An engine house and a blacksmith shop have been built and everything about the place is in a bustle, Capt Shoemaker and Robt, Marshall are bosses on the gjound and they are rapidly developing what is sure to prove one of the finest quarries in Indiana. Besides the gray limestone there is plenty of the blue stone. There are some ledges'now exposed there that are fully 15 feet long, without a seam or flaw. It is going to open up a big thing for this town, Fresh oysters in can or bulk, at Benckart's.

A frightful accident happened at the railroad crossing at Clear Creek church last Tuesday: evening. Allen Brassfield and a man named Wright, of Indian Creek township, were on their way home from this city with a team, and as they were about td cross the track at the above point, a locomotive da shed into them, killing both horses and demolishing the wagon, but, strange to say, both men escaped with their lives, although they were knocked some distance, and pretty badly injured. Dr. H. H.Gwinn has received the appointment of physician to the United States prisoners in the jail at Louisville. Dr. Cwinn will be
remembered as a physician who formerly lived in this county atid who killed a man named Hancock by giving him a dpse of morphine in stead of quinine. The testimony showed that quinine cduld not be told from morphine by the looks of it, and Gwinn was acquitted. The appointment he h&s now received at
Louisville is made by the Attorney
General of the United States, and the salary is $600 a yea. We hear that on last Tuesday night, on the West side of the Square, some drunken bummers l abeled some kind of a figure with "John R. East, rebel," and then burnt it. These fellows no doubt belong to the pension sharks whose service in the army consisted chiefly of standing back and yelling "Rebel," while John ft. East and other good soldiers were fighting at the front. They are such bullheaded, ignoramfc partisans they ido not know that many of the bravest fighters oi! the late war were Democrats. It is disgusting to see these bounty-grabbing, pension fiends and skulkers in the rear still going about yelling "Rebel" at decent men and true soldiers. The managers of the re-union are mortified that such a thing should have occurred, but they are in no " Wtqponsible for it. ':T
