they learn that the rope which surrounded the
ring or enclosure in which Morrissey and Hee-

gentleman Of Buffalo, and in short time will
be cut up, set in gold, silver or brass, and sold
to all gentlemen and ladies who desire a me

He Owns Up.

The distinguished member of Congress
from Indiana, Mr.. Foley, acknowledges
that he penned the letter which was first
published in the Cincinnati Gazette. The
indianapolis Journal says that member
of Congress writes that the letter is genu-
inc. The Washington correspondent of
the N. Y. Post, says:
Mr.. Foley, of Indiana, 'owns up" that
he wrote that funny letter against Lindley
Murry and Noah Webster! He says the
theory and practice of those gentlemen in
regard to spelling, and the construction of
language, has been allowed to go unrebuk
ed long enough. He thinks it is time
somebody was "lett luce agin um to sett
the publick rite" He says it may be all
very well to laugh at his letter, but cit
wont do no good" for he declares, that if
he can be sure of all the votes of those of
his constituents who can't spell and write
any better than he can, be will be re-elect
ed by an overwhelming majority! Think
he has rather "got 'em there" Mr.. Foley
wants it distinctly understood that he is
not ashamed to face bis constituents on
that letter!

EE The Mt. Vernon Banner, edited
by Lougy HARPER, is favorable to the re-
nomination of Gen. JOSEPH BURNS, for
Congress. 1t is great wonder that the
idea did not suggest itself to HARPER, of
naming BURNS for the Presidency. 1t
would have been so smart in him.
Now we are quite anxious that BURNS
should get the nomination, and we do not
like to see his chances injured by the sup
port of the Banner. We want to see how
many of those that voted for him before,
will do it again, after saying time and
again, that they would not, because of his
vote for Lecompton. If nominated, we
know some of them will, and we amt SO
sure, but they all win. Will not some
respectable Locofoco paper in the District,
advocate BURNS claims to denomination.

Terrible Accident.
LiYFAYETrr. Mapls 1s

L1tkAA nay Id, 1900.
The express train from Indianapolis, on
the Layfayette and indianapolis railroad,
due at this place at / o'clock Friday night,
met with q severe accident at Potato
Creek, small stream about eighteen
miles below Lafayette. The bridge across
this stream, some sixty feet long, gave way
on the engine striking it, precipitating the
train into the waters of the Greek, making
a complete wreck of the entire train.
The engineer, Jacob Bitenger, was cut
nearly in two, beside many other bruises; )
he evidently never knew what hurt him.
The fireman, Pat Mallory, was badly cut
about the head. His body was lost in the
creek under water, and only recovered sincs
daylight.
The conductor, James Irwin, was sit
ting In the forward passenger car at the
time. One of the timbers of the bridge
passed up through the floor and struck him
on the head, a splinter penetrating the
brain. He lived about an hour giving ut
terance to continued moaning. He was
probably insensible until death relieved
him from his suffering. Mr.. Irwin has
been in the employ of the Company for
some time and was highly esteemed BY all
who knew him. The officers of the Com
pany regarded him as one of their most
faithful employees.
The baggage master, Perry Homaaf
brakeman, VIM. Severson, and the train
boy Joseph Irwin, were slightly brnised,
but they are all able to continue on duty.
We are gratifed to announce that none Of
the passengers were injured.

Difference to sslaw and order," to that end.
Three friends of the "wimmen," named

selves and prepared to defend the offensive

house about IL o'clock at night. Mr.. Can
field, wealthy farmer, one of the attack

of the house, and carried home, where his
wife was sleeping with her babe, and died
in few minutes; his wife being aroused
from her slumbers to hear that her husband
was at the point of death.

EieudiSh Murder.

The Sandusky Register of yesterday
Goth, is furnished with the following ac
count of murder perpretrated in Town
send. The account says:
II seems that one James James, cous-
in of Isaac June, harbored an old grudge
against the latter, and having prepared
himself for revenge by constructing an In
fernal machine with powder, and some 9TH
er material, and armed himself with re-
volver and knife, called at June's house
Tuesday morning at an early hour, saying
as he came in, "June, l am in time to take
breakfast with you" He was invited to
do so, and sat down to the table as cody
as if on friendly visit. After the meal
was done, and June's workman had left, lie
rose and locked the door, putting the key
in his pocket; and drawing his revolver,
said "June, Ihaue come here to commit
murder, and am going to do it," As he
said this be presented and snapped his re-
volver which missed fire. June then seiz-
ed him, and tremendous scuffle ensued
between June, aided by his wife, and the
miscreant; the latter by this time eating
right and left with a sharp knife. Mrs. j.,
perceiving that her husband was being cut
piece-meal, quit her hold, burst through
pannel of the door, and shouted "murder."
On the arrival of the neighbors aroused by
her cries, it was found that the murderer
had succeeded in disemboweling June, and
had only failed of completing bis diabolical
purpose by his knife breaking off at the
handle. James was secured, and ON his
examination before Justice confessed his
purpose freely, and said he 'only wanted
June to die, and then he would die happy
expressing no contrition whatever. He is
now in Jail at Fremont awaiting his trial.
P. S.-Since the above was put in type
June has died.

New CASTLE, Ind, Friday, May 21.


The County Treasurer's office Of Henry
Co., was broken open this morning about
l O'Clock, and robbed, it is supposed, of
about eleven thousand dollars. This is the
second time it has been robbed within q
few months. The first time the thieves
blew open the safe with powder and got
about thousand dollars. The Treasurer
then got a new safe from Hall d Co., of
Cincinnati. There were three keys TO it.
These keys be took home last night and
hid in different places in his bed ROOM
In the night the bed room was entered
Chloroform administered to the man and
his wife who were asleep there, and two Of
the keys taken. The robber did not sue
ceed in finding the other key which belong
ed to the inside door, but they probably
got that door open by some other means.
As however, they locked the safe up again
and carried away the two keys so that no
one but the maker can open it, nothing can
certainly be known about it till some oss
from the makers gets here.
No one doubts, however, but that the
money is gone, as the inner door would
present no very serious obstacle to the rob-
bers after the outer one was open. They
locked the safe up again and took the two
keys with them, in order to gain time to
get away before anything can be certainly
known. w. L. NJ.

MiIlersburg High school.

We are glad to learn that the expert
ment of sustaining school of this char

far, Parents, Scholars and Teachers, the
parties most Immediately interested, are
satisfied with it. The former with the
mode of instruction adopted, and the
latter with The support received. The
School is yet in its infancy, but 95 Schol.
ars are already enrolled, and additions to
this number are of almost daily occurrence.
Two-thirds of those in attendance have at
tanned to years that will entitle them to the
appellation young Ladies and Gentlemen,
and quiet number of them are from
abroad. No Scholars are taken who have
not previously made considerable progress
in their education.
The Principals, Messrs. scorr & POM
R1NE seem to be very popular with their
Scholars, which, we think an important

kind. They design that it shall become
one Of the permanent fixtures in Millersburg,
and if our citizens will 60 to work and get
up School Building of suitable kind, it
need no longer be said that the Schools of
Millersburg are disgrace to the town.
By securing the services of Mr.. c. kobe,
as Musical Instructor and Teacher of the
German language, as good an opportunity
is offered for acquiring knowledge of the
languages, or the study of Music, as is af-
forded by some df the best Colleges in our
State. Mr.. KS. Glass in vocal and instru-
mental music gave Concert in the Court
House on Thursday evening last, which
was well attended, and the execution by
his Scholars of their several parts, spoke
well for his ability as Teacher.
