A Sign of tlie Times.
Thei\3 hung before a Jswelry Storte the Painted Semblance of a Watch, and underneath thero hung a Huge Pen, and they were signs, and it was their Business to indicate to Passers-By that gold watches and gold pens could be found within the door beneath.
One night, after listening to some Laborel's talking on the sidewalk, the Big Watch spoko to the Big Pen: "My friend, for years have we been hanging hare, and I am thinking it is about time for a^ Change. Why is it, let mo ask, that those miserable little imitations of You and Me inside the window are cared for GO tenderly? They have beds of velvet and coata of softest chamois skin they are examined and admired by tb^ Ladies they are polished every morning, and laid away at night to rest, while you and I ore left to swing in the Wind. I have borne it long enough. I propose to bring my Grievance into notice, propose to kick."
And it swung and creaked and bucked and jorkod and yanked until the Screws were Loosened, and it fell in the street, whero a heavily laden Truck passed over it and split it into Fragments. "Well," said the Pen to his neighbor, the Indian: "that is one of the Signs of the Times. He was cut out for exactly tho kind of work he was doing, and had ho been content would, no doubt, hr.vo lived to a respocte.ble old age but this Agitation in tho Air gave him the Big Head, and ho is gone—Puck.

Uncle Sam—Suppose a Canadian cruiser sees it and shoots? Naval Constructor—It will dive, just like a duok.
Uncle Sain—Dive out of sight? Naval Construrtor—Clear to th® bottom. Uncle Sam—Well, I dunno. Sounds mightily like those we have now.—Omaha World.
Anecdotes of Fox.
When the great Fox, in 1784, ran for parliament at Westminster, he asked a certain bluff tradesman to give hi™ his support. "Sir, '*said the tradesman, "I admire your abilities, but d— your principles!" "Sir," said Fox, urbanely,

'I admire your
sincerity, but d— your manners!" On another day Fox approached a saddler in the Haymarket with the same request.
He produced a halter, with which he said ho was ready to oblige Lim. Fox answered: "I return you thanks, my friend, but I should be sorry to deprive you of it, as I presume it must be a family piece!"—St. Louis Magazine.
Tho Law as to Dueling.
"I remember well," says Charles Phillips in "Curran and his Contemporaries," at tho Sligo summer assizes for 1812, being of counsel in the case of the King against Fenton, for the murder of Maj. HiUas in a duel, when old Judge Fletcher thus capped his summing tip to the jury: "Gentlemen, it's my duty to lay down the law to you, and I will. The law says that the killing of a man in a duel is murder therefore, in the discharge of my duty I tell you so. But I toll you at the same time a fairer duel than this I never heard of in the whole course of my life!" It is scarcely necessary to add that thero was an immediate acquittal.—Central Law Journal.

STORY OF GOVERNOR MARMADUKE.
The Executive Trie*, to Down the Supreme Court. A most important and distinguished wrestle took place in the state treasurer's office recently, the principals being Governor Marmaduke and Judge E. H. Norton. It appears that Governor Marmaduke made some remark to the effect that nothing would be easier than to place tho spinal column of the supreme court judgo across a red stripe in tho carpet. Judge Norton replied that the constitution of issouri gave no person tho right to down the supreme court except justicei of tha pecoe, and that at all events he belie vod himself able to make any chief executive feel dizxy 1 adocL
This vas enough. The ro*m was cleared for act on and Edward T. Nolan selected for referee. No rules were to be observed, bat each was to d« bis best to down his opponent. Governor Marmaduke opened by making a charge and succeeded in oapturing one of the judge's coat

After a brief rest, the reforee called time and both promptly responded. Each realized that h9 had undertaken a big job and proceeded cautiously. The governor issued a requisition for tho judge's coat and tho right side of his vest and secured service. In the meantime Judge Norton had commenced habeas corpus proceedings to secure possession of tho governor's collar and coat and proved successful. Back and forth they went over the room. The governor applied all his military tactics and tho judge had frequent recourse to legal strategy. TIM struggle was long and vigorous. Each exerted his strength in vain, and finally at the end of Ave minutes tho refereo called the match a draw.—Jefferson City (Mo.) Tribune.

Mr. Webster's Story.
Ben: Perloy Poore says that Mr. Webster used sometimes to read the conclusion of a charge by Judge Dudley, a trader and a farmer, a manuscript copy of which he had for many years in his desk. It was a treat to hear him read it in pure and undeflled English, as it doubtless came from Judgo Dudley's lips: "You have heard, gentlemen of the jury, what has been said in this case by tho lawyers, the rascals! but, no, I will not abuse them. It is their business to make a good cause for their clients they are paid for it, and they have done in this case well enough: but you and I, gentlemen, have something else to consider. They talk of law. Why, gentlemen, it is not law that we want, but justico. They would govern us

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 21.—After an all night session last night, at 3:30 this morning the full Eepublioan caucus unanimously nominated A. S. Paddock as United btates Senator to succeed Charles H. Van Wyok. There were 95 members present. This settles the Senatorial question in Nebraska and Paddock will be eleoted in joint session today.

Shannon's Bank.
Evansville Journal: The failure of the Shannon Banking House, Terre Haute, is not as disastrous as at first reported. There is a large amount of valuable real property belonging to the estate of Patrick Shannon, deceased, that will be liable for the debts. The bank was closed by order of Judge Mack, of the Vigo Circuit court, for the teason that the cash on hand was gradually diminishing. The bank's affairs will be closed under direction of the court. In the end tbe concern will come near paying out in full 'unless it becomes necessary to sacrifice tho real estate.
This banking house was started in 1839 by John Watson, one of the square reliable old-time financiers. Subse-
auentiy he took into partnership Pat- ... .. nek Shannon, a shrewd clerk, who add-
«d to the popularity of the concern. A heavy line of deposits was always carried, principally from farmers. During the free bank panic of 1857 "Watson's checks," "shipplasters" issued by the firm, were considered par money, and were preferred to the generality of free bank currency.
Pat Shannon was (T scheming politician, and by manipulating county and city matters he managed not only to feather bis own nest, but the bank's also. So long as he lived the concern had clear sailing, but when he died,, the bottom was knocked out. He had' accommodated friends to a large amount of money, much of which is unavailable.
So passeth away one of the oldest financial institutions of Indiana. With the exception of Fletcher's Bank, Indianapolis, it is perhaps the only one that has existed nearly fifty years, always •olvent.
Injunction.
NEW YQJRK, Jan. 21.—Clarence A Seward, counsel for John Kelly, No. 44 Broadway, applied to Judge Shipman today in the United States Circuit Court for an injunction compelling the French steamship line to accept goods from the Old Dominion line. Mr. Kelly contracted with the French line for the shipment of goods to Havre. The longshore {men are on a strike and the French line refused the goods. The Judge granted the injunction.

Mr. Anderson Continues as the Administrator.-An Unfiled Inventory of the Estate.
There has been much premature talk in regard to the appointment of a receiver in the Shannon Bank failure and there has been an unfamiliarity with the facta shown by many depositors. The appointment of T. A. Anderson as administrator of tbe estate dates from April 12, 1886, when his bond in the sum of 820,000 was approved by Acting Judge Huston, tho sureties being T. A Anderson, Elizabeth Shannon, W. 0. Hoff, Daniel Lynch, Frederick Fischer and E. S. Erney. He still continues as administrator. The selection of Dr. B. F. Swafford in his place, which position Dr. Swafford has since declined, would not have been valid unless Mr. Anderson chose to resign, which he has not done. Under the statute an administrator cannot bo substituted by another unless cause is shown to tlie court.
A subscriber has brought to this office a query which reads as follows: "Interested parties would like to know why the inventory of tbe estato of Patrick Shannon, deoeased, was not filed by the administrator as re-quired by section 2260 of the Revised Statutes." Mr. P. B. O'Reilly, deputy county clerk, was asked in regard to the matter. He said that no»e was filed at the time of Mr. Anderson's appointment because the court (Judge Mack) gave verbal orders that as the widow was the sole heir of Shannon it was not necessary that an inventory should be filed. The creditors are agitating the question because had such an inventory been filed the actual condition of the Shannon estate would have been laid bara However, it is not likely that even if it had been filed that much notice would have been taken of it. The filing of Bucb papers is a perfunctionary matter and very little attention is usually paid to it, outside, perhaps, of the attention of the clerk, whose duty it was to record it.
About half a dozen creditors met in Judge Mack's room this morning and were in consultation with the judge over

Sheis in Jail For Safe Keeping, Awaiting Her Fattier,
From Monday's dally.
Sunday morning about 2 o'clock Jos. Wysong, a former barber of this city who has until lately been running a drug store in Filmore, Ihd., as found in the north end at the & St. L. depot iu company with a young girl of prepos sessing appearance who could not have been more than sixteen years old. They had just come in from the east. Officer Lyons suspected something and arrestted the couple. It turned out that Wvsong brought the girl from Filmore with him and the interval between the time of his arrival and his arrest was spent in looking around for a suitable place to spend tbe night in company with the girl. He had selected the Mayers House. The girl's name is Ada De Eaun. Her father, Stephen De Baun, was telegraphed to and hereplied saying he would be here and to hold Wysong. The girl says that she likes Wysong and that he asked her to come here
ai?4 wor£
Yf™SS9^.
^1S ^am^y as a
domestic. Mrs. Wysong moved here about a week ago. Wysong makes the same statement. That there is a screw loose some where is shown by the fact that Wysong did not at once take the girl to his wife's instead of selecting the Mayers House as their trvsting place. The girl said in jail this morning that her folks hadn't treated her right and she didn't want to live at home. She is short, plump and good-looking. She said she was 16 years old last Saturday. The charge against Wysong was made "abduction.''
Mr. De Baun arrived in the city about noon and took his daughter home this afternoon. He said he would stop off at Qreencastle and swear out a warrant for Wysong. It seems now that Wysong brought about his own arrest very simply. He was acquainted with Officer Lyons and when he saw him at the depot after getting off of the train he approached him and told him he had a country girl with him whom he was going to have a time with. This put the officer on to the young man's meanness and at the proper time 'he nabbed him.
It was shown at the opera last night, says the Boston Transcript, how much more easily the American women can be coaxed than driven. Had hats and bonnets been prohibited there would have been either rebellion or rows upon rows of empty seats. But the request to remove them met with an -amiable response from a good two-thirds of the ladies present.
Once again the report comes that Mrs. James Brown Potter has signed a conroct to appear as a professional actress.

STRUEBEL TOOK IT.
The Vincennes Barber Made With Cora Martin's Watch.
From Mondays Dally.
About a week age Cora Martin, an inmate of Victoria Ray's bagnio, had a gold watch stolen from her. She oaused the arrest of another inmate, Nellie Anderson by name, on suspicion of having taken it. She proved her innocence and was discharged. Suspicion then fell upon Albert Stroebel, a Vincennes barber, who had been at the house on benight the watch was taken. He had returned home in the meantime. He is well-known in Vincennes. He was arrested by City Marshal Calloway at his place of business in the Union depot and Sergeant Dwvor went down after the prisoner, returning with him and Depot Master Mechlin. The letter's connection with the cose was caused by his efforts at befriending Stroebel. Mechlin came to this city with the watoh, which he obtained from Stroebel, and in company with Detective chas. D. Flaid went to Ray's and turned over tbe stolen property to Cora Martin.

be authorities here didn't
look with favor on the compromise and the result was that Mechlin was brought along with Stroebel from Vincennes. Nothing will be dono with Mechlin, however. Stroebel was locked up on a charge of grand larceny and at 11 o'clock this morning Prosecutor Henry said the prisoner had about made up his mind to plead guilty. The accused is a young man and cannot be over 22.
This afternoon Stroeble pleaded guilty to taking the watch and said he was drunk at the time and he intended to return it. After hearing the testimony the court sentenced him to the penitentiary for two yeare. Sheriff Weeks will take him away tonight. He is 21 years old and his parents live in East St. Louis.
IMPORTANT PURCHASE.
C. C. Smith Buys of the Cluggage Estate the Room Occupied by Cook & Bell.
Last week was a week of big real estate transfers. Friday's GAZETTE announced the purchase of McKeen's mill by W. L. Kidder & Son, and Saturday another large transaction was made public. C. C. Smith has bought the building on the corner of Third and Wabash avenue, adjoining his store and at present occupied by Messrs. Cook & Bell. Both buildings are now three stories high and it is tho intention to make them four stories high. A power elevator will be put in and the agricultural im-, plement house moved from the lower I end of the street. Mr. Smith has now The Missing Man's Will Filed for
one of the largest and most complete store stores and tin shops in the west and when his implement house is joined to it, the effeet will be qnite imposing, The property has belonged to the estate of Mr. Cluegage, who will be remembered as a former partner of Mr. Owen Taller. The consideration was §13,000, Messrs. Cook & Bell were 0 good deal disappointed, as they prefer to stay wher6 they are, bat they will lose no time in getting a suitably large bnild ing.
A large trade by Mr. T. B. Johns of his 1,100 acre farm north of town,to Mr. Montgomery for 7,000 acres of timber in Georgia, is about completed.
There are one or two other big transactions on hand.
NUGENT'S BONES.
They Were Found This Afternoon —the Debris of the Distillery Ruins.
From Satuaday's Second Edition At 1:15 this afternoon in tbe debris of the distillery rains was foand some of the remains of James Nugent, the unfortunate yonng man who lost his life in the fire of last night a week ago. A force of men had been searching for the remains as soon after the fire as possible, but without success until this afternoon, when Michael Wolfe, a fellow workman, run across some small bones. They were found at southeast of the battery of boilers. When a GAZETTE reporter visited the distillery shortly after 2 o'clock this afternoon several men were still searching with a shovel. None of the bones found were much larger than the end of a persons finger and were charred and burned. None of the clothing could be found. The remains were sent to an undertaker's.
