Strictly speaking. Kaskine is the only blood pmlfier we have, I use it also very largely with unfailing success in all diseases pecallar to -women and children.

Some Observations of Interest to the Taxpayers of the City.

Three members of the city fire 'department—L. C. ELretz, M. W. Hunter and Walter Bell—went hunting yesterday south-east of town. About 2 o'clock Bell, in shooting at a rabbit, shot Hunter, the entire contents of the charge, or nearly all, entering his face, head and shoulders. His companions were badly soared and brought him to town as soon as possible, securing Dr. W. H. Roberts' attendance upon the injured man. The doctor discovered that at least forty shot and perhaps more had entered the wounded man. Dr. Boberts decided it wo^ld be best for the present not to try to remove the shot. Mr. Hunter was resting easy today. The shooting was purely accidental. I

A.—November 2,1886. Redirect examination by T. W. Harper:

A.—J never had any intention of assuming the duties of a Justice of the Peace. .-V. 7

Q.—Then why'wer© you a candidate? A.—At the Democratic convention preceding the April election of 1886 in Harrison township, Vigo county, Indiana, I w»s a candidate for the nomination for Township Trustee. I was defeated before the convention. I was then placed in nomination for Justice of the Peace. I declined to make the race for Justice of the Peace. I sent word to the delegates who voted for me as Trustee to vote against me for Justice of the Peace. I received tbe nomination for Justice of the Peace. I never declined to make the race, but made no canvass for the office.

Q.—If you had no intention of serving why did you not decline the nomination?

A.—I let it gd. I paid no attention to it after the nomination. Q.—If you had no intention of serving why did you file your oath of office and bond?

A.—While I had no intention previous to the election to s-.-rve after I was elected I came to tho conclusion that I would file a bond, though I never took the office.

Q.—When was your office to take effect by virtue of your commission? A.—Oct. 22,1886, for four years.

Q. —If you had no intention to serve why did you file your affidavit to faithfully discharge your duty?

A.—My answer is the same as to question four. Q.—Is it not a fact that you did not intend to serve as justice at the time you took the oath and filed your bond?

A. —I never had any intention of taking the office at the time I took the oath and filed the bond.

Q.—Is it not true that you intended to take the offioe until you received the nomination for the Legislature?

A.—No. The examination of Mr. Meagher was resumed this afteruooD.

From Wednesday's daily.

The following is the remainder of the testimony taken in the Dickerson-Mea-gher legislative contest oase by Justices Wildy and Felsenthal yesterday afternoon.

Re-direct examination of Cornelius Meagher resumed: Q.—Did you not state to Henry Clay Dickerson, in a conversation in the city of Terre Haute just prior to the election in which he asked you if you thought you were eligible to the office of legislator, that if the Democrats got the Legislature you would take your seat and if the Republicans got it you would take a walk and be a justice of the peace anyway.

A.—No and if Mr. Dickerson said so he tells an untruth. Q.—State if you did not go, shortly after you received your commission, to Justice Murphy's office to borrow his "McDonald's Treatise" and tell him you wanted to look it up before it came time to take your office as Justice of the Peace?

A.—No. Ex-Justice McCarthy told me he had "McDonald's Treatise" at Justice Murphy's office and told me to get it if I wanted it. I never went to Justice Murphy's to borrow a book from him. Justice Murphy told me that McCarthy had no book there. QQ.—You did then go to Justice Murphy's office for "MoDonald's Treatise?"

A.—I went there, as stated above. Q.—Did you get a "McDonald's Treatise if so, where?

A.—I did, from Justice Gartrell. Q.—If you had no intention of ever acting as a justice of the peace why did you get the "McDonald's Treatise?"

A.—It was a bok I had never seen before, and I thought I would get it and look over it,

Q.—Is it not true you got it for the purpose of posting yourself in the duties of Justice of the Peace?

A.—As to that, I cannot say. I have not opened the book half dozen times since I got it.

Q.—Is it not trae that immediately after you were elected Justice of the Peace there was a consultation between W. M. Slaughter, Jos. M. Wildy and yourself, either in person or by proxy, to determine and settle which one of them should have the police court practice.

A.—No the meeting was held for the purpose of deciding which one of the three Democratic Justices elected shoidd take one of the vacancies which occurred in April.

Q—If you never had any intention at any time of taking upon yourself the duties of Justice of the Peac9, ywh were you at that meeting.
