In closing his report Mayor Dunlap adds: "Bloomiugton is the seat of the University of Indiana t is in the heart of the famous Oolitic limeKtone region and has many quarries now in operation, and the prospect for a great increase and development of this industry is flattering, inasmuch as it now seems certain that the C. I., St. L. & C. railroad will build the connecting link from Colntnbus to Switz City, thus placing Bloomington on a through line from New York to St. Louis east and west."

In another part of this paper will be noticed the advertisement of King & Franklin's New CoIosboI Shows and Wild West. It is in fact a circus with all its attachments aside from the menagerie.

Austin Reeves, of near EUettsville, died Tuesday night after a sickness of three weeks with brain trouble. He was 57 years old and one of the most respected citizens of Monroe county. . He was the father of Garrison Beeves, night policeman at this place. The funeral took place yesterday, the remains being brought to Bloomington for burial
friends ; it is better than a letter, for it goes regularly twice each week. Fifty cents to the end of the year.
Tuesday night some unknown bat venturesome person entered the bedroom of John W. Buskirk and carried out his pants, in which was found ISO in money and a new gold watch. The same night the same game was played on W. J. Allen, but with le&s success, as he had only $2 for them to take. The first thieving in Bloomington for some time.
James P. Dunning, alter a five yearn' tramp in Pennsylvania and Virginia, arrived at a point midway between Martinsville and Bloomington last Monday, en route to the scenes of his boyhood days at this place While seated on a log ruminating over the halcyon days of his early life, he said within himselfj "If I go back to Bloomington, I will find few acquaintances, and in my ragged and seedy condition none will care to see me. I have been away for years, and, after all, I would better not return. I will go away again.' Carrying out his resolution he took the back track aud returned to Martinsville bound for Indianapolis and the East. A reporter of the Tsmsphonx met him at the Martinsville artesian well, and learned of the above mentioned wood pile conversation. Jim is prematurely old-looking, wears glasses, and is stooped, and broken and bent from the hard usage of enforced tramp life. He said he did not hear of his father's death until three months after its occurrence and then heard of it by chance, lie picked up a Cincinnati Enqvivcr in some city in Ohio, and read the account
of the funeral. This is truly a la-
atives of Louisville a:.id Detroit. He
added that he would start from Washington on the .last Friday in September : that ho would go directly to Pittsburg from Washington, aud from there ho proposed to come straight through to Indiana
