TOWNSHIP TRUSTEES. Previous to the year

1878,

Township*

officers, Trustees, &c., were elected every •two years at the general election in October, but on the

3rd

of March,

1S78,

1877,

the

Legislature passed an act as follows: (Acts of

58,

'there shall be held an election in each township in each county in the state on the first Monday of April,

The above act has given rise to considerable discussion as to Trustees who were elected at the general election in Gctober

1876

whether the Legislature

had power to shorten the term of an of.ficer, who had been elected for two years and whether the office of township trustee was a constitutional office.

Another question also arose. Under ne AW Township Trustees were only le jto officclour years in any term of six years. Whether a trustee who was elected in

and again in

1876

Ind.,

would be

.eligible for election in April 187S. The Supreme Court in the case of Jeffries vs. Rowedecided, November

20th

0878, decides both'these points and construes theact'thu* Township offices are not created by the canstitution. They are the creatures of the law. (Con., Aart.

sec.

Offices

cseated by the legislature may be abolished by the legislature. The power that creates can destroy. The creator is jjreaterthan the creature. The term of an office may be shortened, the duties of the office increased and the compensation lessened by the legislative will. (8 Blackford,

Ind.,a .1.7 Ind.,

S94.)

482 18

The plain meaning of the statute is that any person who had, at the date of the general election, in October, 1878, held the office of township trustee two consecutive*^ terras immediately before should be eligible to hold the officd&nth4 next ensuing term. The fact untthe time of holding the elections for township trustees had been changed from the month of October to the month of April can make no difference and the fact that the contestee was eligible to hold office at the time he WM elected will not authorize him to hold it after he became ineligible, although it shortened his official terra. Offices are neither grants, nor contract*, nor obligations, which cannot be changed or impaired. They are subject te the legislative will at all times, except so far as the constitution may protect them from interference. 7 Ind.., 157.) In this .case tke conte6tee had no right to hold th« office

township trustee after the

general elections in October 18J8, any I longer than until his successor is elected and qualified. The contestor is entitled to the office, .4lnd.,

SIR—Your favor of 2id ult. was duly «received and has been considered. For sjtour information and guidance I give the ?t«Uowing opinion on the matter referred ",»todn your letter: iJL Who is disqualified from holdingth g,*$ceof township trustee under the la ^.decision of the Supreme Court in the ca

The •0. reasoning,in the case would aDply as well jpersQfl whose first election was in fi

1873,

and who qualified and held office up to April, ti87§. The shortening of the sec i| ond tera\, the onurt say,makes it no less a term, aud hasiqg thus held two terms before the electro, such person would *f| be incapaWe ofhoiding the ensuing terra.

Persons wfeose -flrsf

0r fe the next highest candidate to take thence? 0 If fte person declared ejected by the Jug canvas#ag board accepted the office, qualified aod gave bond, there is »o va-

*"1 hold the office lutilj his

successor is elected and qualified. If his competitor duly contested his election, and is in a position to prosecute his proceeding, he may get the office: but if there was no contest, the person declared elected will hold it. Perhaps a prosecuting attorney, on behalf of the state, might remove him by quo warranto, but a private party, having no interest in the office, could not contest his title in this way. 3.

Would the bond of parties thus disqualified be binding on the principals and sureties?

The bonds of all de facto officer*, not usurpers, but holding under a regular certificate or commission, are valid. These disqualified persons, having been declared elected and having given bond and qualified, will, as to the public, be amenable to the same laws and governed by the same rules as if they had been fully competent to hold tl-e offices without question.

This, I believe, will dispose of most of the questions arising under the acts of the legislature and the decision of the supreme court, on this subject. Very respectfully,

T. W. WOOLEN, Attorney General.

This we should think would settle the vexed questions which arose out of the passage of "the act of March

1878

sec. 1): "That

1878,

and

every second year thereafter, for the purpose of electing Justices of the Peace Township Trustees, etc." The other sec tions of he act provides for the mcnner in whic the election shall be conducted and for the repeal of all other laws in ^conflict with the provisions of this lawThis law went into force in July following.

1874.

3, 1877.

We have only two trustees in tl.is county which it affects, the trustee of Pierson and of Linton, and it settles the matter with them. The second had held office four years and one-half, and was therefore ineligible when elected \pril,

but having given bond and

qualified he can, under the opinion of the Attorney Genenal, hold the office. The first was elected in

1S72,

1876

again in

he was beaten and was

elected again in

1878.

His predecessor

having served less than two years, the question arose whether this was a term and whether he would be ineligible, being elected before the term of 6ix years was out. The supreme court has setttled this question, and he having given bond and qualified can hold the office.

Our Township Trustees can rest peace.

THE CHRISTMAS EVE IN GER MANY. There is a Christmas custom here which pleased and interested me. The children make little presents to their parents and to each other and the parents to the children. For three or four months before Christmas the girls are all busy, and the boys save up their pocket money to make or purchase these presents. What the present is to be, .cautiously kept secret, and the girls have a world of contrivances to conceal it— such as working when they are out on visits, and the others are not with them getting up in the morning before daylight, and the like. Then, on the evening before Christmas day, one of the parlors is lighted up by the children, into which the parents must not go A great yew bough is fastened on the table at.a .little distance from the wall, a multitude of little tapers are fastened in the bough, but so as not to catch it till they are nearly burned out, and colored paper hangs and flutters from the twigs. Under this bough the- chil dren la}' out in great order the presents they mean for their parents, still concealing in their pockets what they intend for each other. Then the parents are introduced, and each presents his tittle gift, and then bring out the rest one by one from their pockets, and present them with kisses and embraces. Wh re I witnessed thi6 scene there were eight or nine children, and the eldest daughter wept aloud for joy and tenderness, and the tears ian down the face of the father, and he clasped all his children so tight to his breast, it seamed as if he did it to stifle the sob that was rising In him. I was very much affected. The shadow of the bough and its appendages on the wall, and arching over on the ceiling, made a pretty picture and then the raptures of the very little ones, when at last the twigs began to take fire and snap. On, it was a delight for them! On the next day. in the great parlor, the parents lay out on the tables the presents for their children. Formerly., and still in all the smaller towns and villages throughout North Germany, these presents*Vvere sent bj all the parents to some one fellow, who in high busking, a white robe, a mask and enormous Hax wig, personates Knech Rupert. On Christmas Eve he goes round to every house and says Jesus Christ, his master sent him thither the parents and elder children receive him with great pomp and reverence, while the little ones ure most terribly frightened. He then inquires for the children,and according to the character which he hears from the parents, he gives them the intended presents, as if they came out of Heaven from Jesus Christ. Or, if they should have been bad children, he gives the parents a rod, and in the name of his master recommends them to use it frequently. About seven or eight years old the children are let into the secret, and it is curious to see how faithfully they keep iL v"

KUSSNERS.

THK KBAL PALACE OF MUSIC.

When, several years ago, the handsome building occupied by Mr. L. Kuasner on Ohio street as a music store barned down, the whole city lamented the loss. It was considered a great calamity because it was feared the institution would not again be started here. The structure was, however, rebuilt and christened the "Palace of Music," a title it has since borne and richly deserves. Mr. Kussner, besides being an accomplished musician, is also a manufacturer. He thoroughly understand* all about the instruments and can five his patrons reliable information.

Everybody admits that a piano or or-

Wntkins met.) It was half or threequarters ot an hour after the wreck when met WiUon. 'PATRICK WELCH, engineer on the fated train. Discovered that the target at the east end of the switch was misplaced. Whistled down brakes myself and fireman jumped from the engine and were unhurt. I called to Muriav, "Hullo Jim." A man sitting on the platform answered I asked, "Is that you Jim." He answered, "Hullo Pat, what are you doing here." He knew me but I did not know him. He said he was a little "off" but he would help us, I did not see him afterward. (Defense Jadmitted that the man on the platform was the defendant.) Believe the man remained 15 or

minutes helping carry water to

put out the fire in the engine.

GEO. FULLER,

fireman. On the night of the accident I was warned by Mr. Welch to "look out." 1 looked ahead and saw that the switch had been thrown. I jumped from the engine and was uninsured. We were about half an hour behind time that night. We looked all night for Murray but did not find him until morning. I went east to flag the west bound passenger.

DANIEL MORAN,

Section foreman at St. Marys. I hastened to the wreck as soon as it occurred saw Wilson there was at the wreck all the following morning did not 6ee Wilson again.

S.A.MICHAELS,

agent at St. Marys. On the night of the accident, I heard a sharp whistle, then heard the sound of the smash up. As I heard some one exclaim, "Boys, what the hell are you doing saw a man on the platform when I went out. Believe it was Wilson. v.- GEORGE W. JACKSCN. baw the ditching of the train. Saw the switch thrown. There were two men certainly. I think three. The two were Oliver Wilson and Kahoe. Saw them unlock the switch and throw the switch. Heard one say "hold on Oliver," the voice I recognized as that of Wm. Chrisman. At the time the head light of the locomotive could be seen. 1 saw Wilson and Kahoe by the light of the head light. The men disappeared.

Cross examined: I was on the platform nearly opposite the target. Was within

feet of the target.

Mr. Knight was with me. After the wreck we went home did not think it any of my business to stay around there. I had come over from McKeen thai day, and was going home. Left Terre Haute about

9:30.

St. Marys an hour, watching those men. When we were going out from Terre we stopped at the McQuilkan coal bank to wait for Wilson. When he came along Kehoe was with.him. I was not on good terms with Kahoe, so we let them pass. I knew Wilson was coming because I saw him on the bridge. He was taking with another man could not see the other man, and did not recognize him. I did not see Chrisman at the target, but I heard his voice: heard him say: "Hold on, Oliver.1' Have been living in Chicago since the wreck went there with Mr. Funican, the, detective went there about Nov. 21st stopped with Mr. Funican, who keeps a boarding house. [Mr. Mack asked witness if Kahoe did not have a suit against Mr. Mickleberry.] The question being objected to, Mr. Mack said this man, Mickelberry was the motive power in the case, that he had instigated the suit, employed council and afterward tried to secure the conviction of Kahoe, in order to save himself from the results of Kehoe's

Was at

6uit

against him. .[The question was ruled out by the court.] Witness—Knight and myself stood behind the fence on the opposite side of the track from the switch. After the wreck we went home. When Kehoe wae prosecuted before I talked with Vandever, but] did not tell him what I had seen Talked to Fasig but did not tell them what 1 knew. I was a witness in the former trial but did not have an opportunity to tell what I knew because they dismissed. Jame* Middleberry never offered me

or any other^um.

I first met Funican here in Terre Haute. I kjjlew of him before under the name Of Finncan. I was with him three days before I went to Chicago with him. 1 have been with him ever since I gave my testimony before the grand jury. Went to Chicago on a pass received from the I. & St. L. road. Returned in the same manner. Went to Chicago because I had been to'd that if I ever appeared in court again as a witness I would be hung. Did not swear before the grand jury that I saw and recognized Chrisman. I said I recognized his voice I saw Wilson and Kehoe take out the pin that holds the target and throw the switch. We did not try to 6top the train because they were going so fast that they could not have stopped.

Redirect: Went to Chicago because I thought it was not safe to stay here. Parties made threats that if I appeared in court against these men, they would hang me. Knight and I haye talked the matter over frequently.

JAMES KUGHT.

Live at Sanford station. Was with Jackman at St. Marys on the night of the wreck. Saw the men unlock and throw the switch. Atter they had opened the switch one ot them came up on the platform, the other went over the hill. The headlight of the engine shown in their faces and I recognized them. One was Oliver Wilson, the other was Bill Kehoe. It was Wilson who came on the platlorm. Heard the engineer speak to Wilson. Wilson asked him, what was. the matter, The engineer said

Mcant

you see."

Heard a voice before the wreck say, ••Oliver, what are you doing?" To the best of my judgment and belief it was the voice of Bill Chrisman. I am well acquainted with him, and his voice is familiar to me.

Cross-examined—Did not stop after the wreck, because I knew the men who were there, and one of them was an enemy of mine. I did not know how many of them were there, and I did not have anything to defend myself with. Before the wreck they said they were going to tear the road to hell before they

got home. That was on the bridge over the Wabash. It was Wilson who spoke. The other man spokV in a low tone. We went on to the coal shaft where we waited for Wilson. I saw he toas drunk and thought I would help him liome. When he came up to us Bill Kehoe was with him and we let them pass. We followed them to the platform, where we watched them for about an hour before the wreck. Have talked with Jackman about the affair since the wreck. Talked with him first about it at Mr. McKleberry's. Did not talk with any body else about it until some time .in Ju!y. Did not then tell all knew. I talked with Vandever and Faaig but did not tell them all. After we lef: the coal bank that night we followed Wilson and Kehoe up to St. Marys. I next saw them at the west end of the piatform. I walkeJ around to a position where I could hear them talk. I was standing at the gate post at the west end of the platform when they threw »he switch.

The court here took a recess for dinner. AFTERNOON.

James Knight resumed the witness stand, and the cross-examination was resumed by Mr.Mack. Have been stopping in town since the beginning of this case. Have been boarding at Dr. Shcckles, paying

per week for board. Pay it

myself. I stay in town because threats have been made against my life. Geo. Symms showed me a rope which had hanged other people and said it was for me if I appeared against them, these men. 1 go tovuit my family at Sandford about every other day. I always go in the daytime, and always have some one with me. Uncle Geo. Reynolds most always goes with me. If Reynolds is a railroad detective 1 don't know it Nickleberry has not furnished n.e any money to pay board. The railroad does not furnish me free passes. I know the detective Funican. I saw him a day or two ago. for the first time in three or four weeks I told Funican something about the case but not all. I do not remember when I told the whole story. I told it

Bay-

less W.Hanna,Mr. McLane.Mr.and Mrs Seldomridge. I told them because I thought they ought to know. It was some time last month when I made up my mind to tell them. I did not tell it before because we are all neighbors and I preferred that the detectivss should catch them without my help, but when I found they could not I made up my mind to tell. I met the parties to whom I told the story at the Terre Haute House. I went there to

Bee

them. I do not re

member who told they were there. Funican. the detective,was present at the interview. The money I have lived on in town was received from Mickleberry for two yoke of steers. I got the steers from Mickleberry in the first place. I paid for all but one in hauling. That one was given me as a compromise for his having charged me with stealing last summer.

Redirect: I was afraid cf personal violence, because George Symms, a brother-in-law of Bill Kehoe, made threats against me. Witness was about to detail the circumstances of the threat-making, when objection was maJe by the counsel for the defense. The point waR argued by Judge McNutt and Mr. Mack, and the court decided that the evidence was not competent. (From Wednesday's Iaily.) av CONTINUATION AFTERNOON.'

Little evidence was adduced yesterday afternoon after three o'clock at which time the GAZETTE report closed.

Mr. Moran, section foreman at St Mary's showed a swilh stand and target similar to the one used at St. Mary's where' the accident occurred.

Deputy Vandever on oath testified that Knight and Jackman told him when Kehoe was first presented that they knew a good deail about it, but would not tell at the time, nor did they until recently divulge the fact that they witnessed the throwing of the switch. At this point the attorneys for the state rested their evidence and Ho«i. William Mack made the opening statement for the defetfse. The statement was brief but exceedingly pithv.

He expressed his entire confidence in the innocence of his client, and stated that the fact would be established. The accused was a very (poor mechanic who was unable to employ an attorney, while he was being prosecuted with the wealth of a great railroad corporation. The case was adjourned until this morning.

THIS MORNING. 4

Court commenced at

9.30.

Major

Brown, of the counsel for the defense stated that himself and associates were satisfied that the evidence would not warrant the further detention of the defendant Chrisman. He therefore moved that a nolle be entered, so far as Chrisman was concerned. Deputy prosecutor Foley endorsed the motion and Judge Long announced that Chnsman was discharged. The spectators applauded most heartily, and were warned by Judge Long not to repeat the operation, as applause was entirely out of place in a court of justice.

The first witness examined far the defense was JAMES CHRISMAN.

I live in St Marys, have lived in that neighborhood for twenty-three years I was employed by the railroad at the time of the wreck we had been at work near the switch that day I had not seen Wilson to speak to him for three weeks I saw Kahoe frequently I was on good terms wish the road I went to bed about half past nine that night they came for me to go and help at the wreck think it was about one o'clock I went to the wreck and worked Until eight o'clock, when I went to breakfast returned and worked until the wreck was clearedjup I was not near the switch that night until after the wreck have known Knight for several years have known Jackman for a shorter period Knight is very short sighted, aand when he reads he must hold the printed matter or writing very close to his eyes.

Cross examined:—'Think it was about a quarter before one when I started" for the wreck we worked with a lantern, which sometimes left us, when we worked without the light worked all night transferring baggage between the cast and west boundpassenger trains.

HAKCY CHRISMAN.

Wife of William Chrisman husband

was at home the night of the wreck he came home at about six o'clock, his usua. time about half past eight ojr nine o'clock I was restless, and did not sleep much that nisht, and I know he did not leave the house until he was called by the messenger who summoned him to the wreck. That was between one and two o'clock. I heard the clock strike two afterwtrd.

MRS. WM. KAHOE,

wife of one of the defendants. In June '78, we were living on James Mickeberrv'a place, one and a half mileb frv»m St. Marys. On the

8lh

of June my husband

They remained during the afternoon, one of them joining my husband in a fishing excursion to a neighboriag brook. They caught fiah which we used for supper. Mv husband went to bed about nine o'clock. I know he remained in bed all night as I was suffering with palpitation of the heart and did not sleep. I did not know that he was suspected until he was arrested on the day before the

4th

of July.

Oliver Wilson stopped at our house on the morning following the wreck and told us about it.

WM. KAHOE,

one, of the defendants took the witness stand. On the night ot the wreck I was at home. On the day previous I had the Kelley boys plowing my garden. On the morning following Oliver Wilson passed my house on his way to Thos. Beauchamp's he told U6 about the wreck that was ,the first I heard of it I was not in town the day before, nor was I at or near St. M»ry on the night of the wreck I had nothing to do with the wreck, and know nothing about it had been working for the railroad, but quit on my own free will several months before this wreck have known Jesse Knight about three years I was arrested for the burning of the station house at St. Mary's was tried before Esq. Cookerly on that charge and acquitted on the night of the wreck I think I went to bed between nine and ten o'clock when in Terre Haute I sometimes went out on the pusher (the locomotive which pushes freight trains over the St. Marys grade), sometimes I walked out On the eight of June I did not see Wilson I was not with him at any point on the railway track I arrived at the wreck about 9 o'clock on the morning ot the9th They had removed the body of Mutray aud I did not see it I was foreman on the switch again at Mattoon for a month or six weeks Sometimes had a switch key in my posession for a few hours at a time But I always returned it to the switchman.

A WIDOW AND HER CHILD." A singular "instance of superstition came to light not long since, which is thus ielated: Going into a neighbor's house, one da/ last week, I found one of the children suffering from a severe cough, and expressed my opinion that it was a case which medical assistance should be obtained. The mother of the boy agreed that it was very Lad, but said that before calling in a doctor she intended to try a cure that she ha long used in similar cases, and never found to fail. On being pressed to communicate the prescription, she gravely informed me that the charm consisted in Hale's Honey ot Horehound and Tar. and that it could be obtained of all the druggists.
