How they Jollified Over the jElections.
The Democrats had a "high old time" here last Saturday night over the result of the recent - elections, Band music, fire-works, tin horns and shouting kept up a general
hurrah, for about an hour, when as much of the crowd as could get it packed the G.ourt-house to hear
Congressman George W. Cooper speak. Mr. R. A. Fulk got the en
thusiasm of the audience up to the
boiling point by a patriotic little
speech previous to introducing the
speaker. The Court room was decorated with a lot of mammoth roosters, printed on -red, white and blue sheete,donated by the Courier office. Mr. Cooper said it was the first blue rooster he had seen all the week. In answer to Mr. Fulk's-assurance that he would make a faithful, intelligent and sober Congressman. Mr. Cooper said he wouldn't be found patronizing the Vice President's bar in Washington. He then went on with his speech reviewing the cause of the disaster to the Republican party 'ami touching on Democratic doctrine, all in a way that highly entertained his hearers, who showed their approval by frequent outbursts of enthusiasm. It
was a grand meeting, and Mr.Cooper deserves thanks for his prompt respond to a telegram, sent by J. W. Craven, requesting his presence here to help us jollify. Judge Miers was brought forward at the close by enthusiastic cheering, and made a ringing little speech that made everybody feel good all over. Benjamin Hall also responded to a call, and a highly successful meeting was then adjourned.

HOWE RYORS DEAD.
Taken Away After But a Weelc's Sickness.
Death is sad at any time or in any place,no matter how obscure or humble, but there are times when its effects are more far -reaching and a community becomes a mourner for one who had endeared himself to it and by whose death a void had been made that could not be filled by one of his like. In such a condition this community is to-day by the death of J.H. Ryors, who died at his home in this citjr, on last Tuesday morning, of inflamation of the bowels. A week previous he was at Harrodsburg looking at some lumber anp upon his return home that night complained of feeling ill. He never left his bed again, bnt continually grew worse until afcer a sickness of one week, death took him away from his dear ones at home, and from an entire community of warm
friends. He had a. similar attack some time ago,but by good medical attendance, and careful nursing by a faithful wife, he was apparently restored to to his natural health. Joseph Howe Ryors was burn in Athens county, Ohio, March 10th, 1849. When he was quite young his parents moved to Kentucky. After the death of his father he came, with hi 3 mother, to Bloomiugton and entered the State University in 1864. He clerked in Joseph Howe's dry goods store for two years, then went to Logansport and was engaged in the same business for nearly the same length of time. It was in the latter city where met Miss Emma Brown to whom he was married May 13, 1874. Five children were the result of this union, and only two of them are now living. Deceased was the youngest son of Mrs. L. H. Ryors of this city, and a brother of Mrs. R. W. Miers. Mr, Ryors was in the spoke busines with Eugene Turner in 1874, then with the Bollenbachers, and at the time of his death was still engaged in the same business with Waldron, Hill & Co. He had almost the entire charge of the mechanical department of the factory, and was highly respected and beloved by all the employees. There was the most profound sadness among9t them when his death was announced. The deceased was quite an active Democrat in politics, but he never held a public office except that of Citjr Councilman, to which he was elected in a strong Republican Ward. The last campaign he was Treasurer of the Democratic Central Committee, and in all campaigns previous he was prominent in the private counsels of the leaders of his party. The funeral services were held at the Walnut-Street Presbyterian Church Thursday afternoon, and were attended by the order of Odd Fellaws, and a large number of friends of the deceased. The employees of the Ryors hub and spoke marched in a body and were joined by a number of the em pi 03Tees of the other factories. The Rev. W. B. M in ton conducted the services in the Church and his remarks were veiy appropriate and touching. The burial services were conducted by the Odd Fellows in accordance with
their ritual.
The item last week in tfilP Cotrn-
lER.announcing the death of the wife
of Lewis May.of Indian Cseek township, was untrue. Mrs. M ay bias been sick sick, but is alive and improving in health. The wife of Frank FhHlips the carpenter died suddenly on Thursday of last week of hemorrhage of the lungs. She had been playing with the children and fell over in her husband's arms and died. Mr.
Phillips himself h.d just befifun to

illness. He lives in a new house recently built by him at South Park.
His. afflictions call for the deepest
sympathy,
