A large number, of our citizens went over to Spencer Wednesday to see Blaine. Both the livery stables were emptied to accommodate these going. The Courier speaks of dude students going out to tell the farmers how to vote on the tariff. It should'nt speak of several of its young orators so disrespectful. John F. Mav and wife have returned from Nebraska, where they have been visiting their sons. Both enjoyed the trip and , were much pleased with the way the boys are growing up out west. ' "For God's eake run down and get a torch," was the appeal a Democratic leader made to a lot of boys when about half a mile of the Republican procession had passed. That's about the way it was. . The Democratic drum corps, in itspver abundance of enthusiasm or

something else, stole the tennor drum from the Grand Army room

and took it to Bedford, where the head was knocked out of it. The Central Committee will have the pleasure of furnishing another one, and that without delay. James Karsell is now in Chicago, where he has gone to join his daughter Lora, who has been at Waukasba, Wis., and is returning home. Her health is not improved, and if she can stand the journey it is Mr. KarselFs intention to take her to New Mexico in a short time, where he will remain with her for about six mnths. The Democrats are playing their last game for the treasurer's office. Now they are circulating a Report

that Ike Claman refused to let his

child ren attend school with colored children. He soon knocked it higher than Haymen by getting a affidavit from the teacher that no such thing ever occurred. It was to "catch" the colored people, see?

The accident Saturday morning last was the third one of a similar nature that has happened to the L. N. A. & C. road. Last Christmas eve, a train went through a bridge near Salem, and five persons perished. At Broad Ripple near Indianapolis, a train went through a bridge, and the same number were lulled, and both were burned. The burn id g of the train Saturday morning was nothing short of a mericle, in as much as out of one hundred passengers none were fatally in-jared.

The Telephone is a legal advertising medium, and we desire to impress upon administrators, Executors and attorneys that if they desire to patronize this paper by giving it their legal patronage ail that is necessary for them to do is; to order it sent to this office or bring it themselves. "Rev." Pinkham was here last Monday niht in the interest of Pro-hi-bi-tion. The first thing he touched upon was tariff, and announced that he was a free-trader. You know what party sends out such advocates? The other man sent here was confident that "we already have the Republicans defeated!"

Martinsville Republican : "The courthouse was packed last Friday night to hear Dr. McLaughlin, of Harrodsburg, Monroe county. He was introduced to the audience by Cpl. J. H. Jordan, and his speech was one of the most practical that has been heard here this campaign. He addressed himself particularly to the farmer, and pointed out to them in a plan pointed manner, the benefits they were deriving from the tariff."

The Louisvflle, New Albany & Chicago railroad company has put on its Sunday train from Chicago to Louisville, During, the presidency of Bennett H. Young, that official took off Sunday trains, although it was understood that they were doing a fair business. Mr. Young is out of the roed and the new management have restored the

Sunday train. This gives that road three passenger trains a day between Lafayette aud Chicago. N. A. Ledger : "The gas well will, reach a depth of on e thousand feet-to-day. After passing through blue clay, slate and limestone, slate was again struck and penetrated nearly two hundred feet when blue clay was, again struck and this deposit is now being drilled through. , Indications of gas were found at a depth of one hundred and twelve feet, but none since. No water has yet been struck. The well will be sunk to a

depth of fifteen to eighteen hundred feet."

It would seem that the. devil has been turned loose for a reason to prey upon railroads and rush cargoes of human life to destruction. Of late many railroads have suffered by fiends in human form opening switches and hurling trains into wreck and ruin. The south bound passenger train over the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago Railway, which left Chicago at 7:15 Friday evening, with a large number of people, was wrecked and burned at Putnamville at 3:00 this morning. The train consisted of a baggage, mail and express car, two passenger coaches and a Pullman sleeper. At the south end of Putnamville, a few miles from Greencastle, there is a siding. As the train approached this siding the engineer saw that the signals were all right and had no suspicion that the switch had been tampered with, it being locked and apparently all right, with a light on it. But some fiend had

taken out the bolts that fastened the lower rods of the switch, and when the train came upon the switch the track of course spread out, precipitating the entire train down an embankment. The cars turned over, throwing over the stoves and setting the train on tire. The flames spread with the greatest rapidity, barely giving the passengers time to escape from the wreck until every car, including the bagbage, mail and express ear, was a blaze. The scene for a time was a terrific one; but all the passengers and train men were gotten clear of the train, and the entire train was soon a mouldering heap of ruins. Nearly every one on the train was more or less braised or scratched; but fortunately no one was serously injured, and all were able to walk about. At the place where the disaster oocured a bridge of the National road crosses the railroad track. The bridge is a low one, and three or four persons have been killed on the L., N. A. & C. trains by colliding with it. It is possible that the bad feeling growing out of these deaths and there is a bad feeling at Putnamville caused by them has led some villan to seek revenge by the wreck of a train, and he sought this morning as the occasion for his vengance. Other attempts . have heretofore been made in the vicinity of Putnamville to ditch the trains of the L.N. A. & C. That there was not a large loss of life by the wreck and fire of this morning seems miraculous. The loss by the wreck and fire is a heavy one, but as the company keeps its. passenger equipment well insured;, its loss will be small.

.Indianapolis (Temperai ce) Organizer: "One of our good brothers, Prof. J. A. Woodbum, of the Bloomington Schools writes: "I had the pleasure of presenting your cause (Scientific Temperance Instruction) to our XL P. Sabbath School, Sep. 28," and 'die School readily gave a small contribution to our common cause. If we can, we intend to have our School give a collection quarterly to this work, and my desire, is that it be sent direct to the W. C. T. II., of the State." A noble example indeed! And is it more than any Sunday School could do on the quarterly temperance day? What a fund it would give us! Think about it, friends."

It is a pleasure to announce that IJloomington is to have another splendid lecture course the coming season though the energy and enterprise of the University Association, that now enters upon its second year. There will be jive lectures and a concert company, as follows: Chicago Madrigal Club, Maj. Dane, Judge Tourgee, Mrs. Mary A. Liyermore, Bob. Burdette, Rev. Rob't Collier. The first of the season will be the concert, to be given on the night of the 19th of November. The young gentlemen of the university have gone to the trouble and are taking the risk of furnishing a splendid

literary treat to our people the coming months, and we ha.ve no doubt it will be appreciated by liberal patronage, j

An Excursion run up to ElSetts- i

ville Monday night to attend the Grubbs meeting. Qnite a number attended, and further it was a respectable and decern- crowd. Major

Grubbo had a very large audience. I

Last Saturday night several persons found their way into the Catholic Parsonage and made way with some of Father Logan's sacred wine, to the amount of several gallons. Not content with this they carried off several robes, user! in church services.

In all parts of the county Maj. Grubbs' meetings have been very largely attended, and at each place he has made a most excellent speech. He thoroughly shows up Col. Matson and his great pretentions as the "soldier's friend," giving his record in Congress. Maj. Grubbs' canvass

has not beer, equaled in this section

of Indiana gince Gen. Hunter made his memorable canvass against Dan. Voorhees, and it is likely to result

j in the same way.

"The County" news is becoming a marked feature of the Tklkphokk, and from every section is coming thanks for the efforts to izive the people in the county a hearing as well as about Bloomington. We are glad of this feature is proving so successful. Every neighborhood should be represented, and our riends should see that no item of news fails to reach us.

The Judge West demonstration next Friday night will be a grand meeting. Judge West is quite an old man and is blind. He speaks in a chair and as he grows eloquent rises to his feet. He placed the name of James G. Blaine before the Chicago convention.

The Democrats will never again

set a trap in which to catch them

selves, as they did last Saturday

night. Though they had no speak

er when the Republicans announced

Scanlan, the Irish orator, because it

was the Democratic night (by divis

ion) they kept writing to the State

Central Committee until finally

BaylessHauna was procured, which

of course gave them the right to the

stand. But Republicans are never

out done and so they announced to

hold their meeting in Claman's

grove. Then the Democrats boasted -that Scanlan should have no crowd, but when the two processions formed it was found by actual count that while the Hanna procession was 8 minutes in passing a given point, the Republicans required 15 minutes to pass the same place. It was pronounced by men of all parties by far the largest procession ever known in the history of the city. Of the immense audience that listened to Scanlan it is only necessary to say it never had an equal in this city; and his address

was a marvel in eloquence and ar-'

gument. The Democrats were fortunate enough to escape with a few minutes of Byless Hanna, but found they had been completely gulled when SamBiiskirk was called out, as Senator Jewett of New Al b,ny, and Judge Jordon, of Indianapolis, had been promised for the night meeting.

'Peterson's Magazine" for November is on our table ahead, as usual, of all others. How the publisher can afford to keep improving it, as he does, is a standing wonder, with this number appears the Prospectus for next year. It promises even better things, and "Peterson" always keeps his promises. There will be over 1,200 printed pages, 14 steel-engravings, 1 2 double-sixed colored steel fashion-plates, from 800 to 900 wood-cuts, six copyright novelets, one hundred smaller stories, etc., etc. In short, the magazine will continue to be, as heretofore, the cheapest and best for ladies. The terms are only Two Dollars a year. To clubs, it is cheaper still, viz: four copies for six dollars and a half, with an extra copy to the person getting up the club. Or fi"e copies for eight dollars, with both an extra copy and "the Pearl of Price," a beautifully illustrated volume, or a large steel-engraving, The Lion in Love." .Everybody should take this magazine. Now is the time to subscribe. Address

Cuakles J. Pxtekson, 306 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa. Spec

imens are sent, gratis, if written for, to get up clubs with.
