is ahead in chivalry. Last week we re-
corded duel between two Of her citizens,
which resulted in no bloodshed. To day
we have advices that another duel-this
time bona ti'e duel-has been fougl I
within the city limits. Two citizens, Mr.
E. b. DeWolf and Mr.. Dayfoot, got into
a dispute in regard to a daughter of
their landlord on last Monday. They
concluded to fight it out in the old style,
and Mr.. Crosby and Mr.. Brooks were
appointed seconds. The grounds were
near the University, and at the proper
time two parties were on hand. The
ground was measured off and two shots
fired. Tho 6rst time no one was hurt.
The second shot each was slightly
wounded-DeWolf received a shot in the
neck and Dayfoot in the knee. Fearful
OF arrest they returned to town, compro-
missed the matter, aud called the whole

a GENERAL MASSACRE OF THE Jews

reported last week but later and more
reliable advices from Europe show tha,
the reported massacre is without q sha.

there have been any outrages upon the
Jews in Roumania. A political riot oc.

Sandusky, Seymour & Louisville
Railroad--The Prospect,


It has been but a few week!
since our first article appeared
urging the Importance, practical
bility, and necessity, of making
Seymour the terminus OF the
Sandusky and louisville Rail
road, instead of running direct
to the Ohio river at Louisville
without passing near this. point
Since then, the good work has
progressed rapidly and most fav-
orably, until to>day, it seems
that our ideas meet with univer-
sal appreciation of all concerned
or connected with the old road,
and it now only needs the proper
efforts on the part of our town
and county, to insure the COM
pletion of a route, that will place
our city at once among the first
towns of the State in point of
material wealth, and commercial
importance.
It has been demonstrated be-
'yond the possibility of successful
contradiction, that the proposed
change in the route, running it
direct from Brookville, in Frank
lin county, to Seymour, instead
of to the river direct, would first
of all, make a vast difference in
point of cheapness of construc~
ton; passing through a section OF
country where neither high
grades nor deep fills would be
necessary, and where no wide
streams nor dangerous water
courses remain to be bridged.
Add to this, that the old route
would pass through a portion of
Southern Indiana unusually diff
ficult throughout, and in places
almost impracticable, and the
force and importa nee of this
point can be at once seen. 1t
would make a difference of sew
eral thousand dollars in every
mile. The new route would pass
through a rich, unde veloped and
populour section of country the
local earnings of which, would
in a short time contribute large
ly toward paying the running
expenses of the road. But more
important, perhaps than any 9TH
er consideration, is the fact, that
it saves the constru CT ing of over
40 miles of road, ma king a saw.
ing thereby of near a million
dollars. The Jacksonville Rail-
road company have offered the
use of their track from Seymour
to Louisville, if fhe company
make Seymour their terminus,
and have offered other material
aid beside.

meeting at Eaton.

On a call of the President Of
the above r. r. Co., a large and
very enthusiastic meeting of the
citizens of Eaton and vicinity
met at the Court House, on the
evening of the 18th of Feb. And
on motion of T. j. Larsh. Gen.
Hendricks was chosen Chairman;
and on motion of ]. B. Stephens,
J. M. Brown was appointed Sec
reiary.
The meeting being called to
order, the Chairman stated that
the object of the meeting was to
further the interest of the said
road, and to get an expression of
the citizens in regard to the prop
er heading for the stock books.
J. II. Zoos was called on and
spoke at length on the prospect
of the early completion of the
road; he was of the opinion that
if the sum of $3O0,o0Oin addition
to the old stock, (Which is esti-
mated to be worth the sum of
$250,O0W could be raised, that
that amount would do the grad
ing and bridging, and thus Sc
~
cure the road beyond doubt.
The Stock Books are headed
on condition, that if the amount
of $300,0 900 is not subscribed,
then in that case the subscrip-I
ton is not binding on the subs
scribers; but should that sum be
raised, then said So absorption is
absolute and collectable. Mr..
Zoos went on to show the FEAST
bility and superior inducements
that should actuate our citizens
to subscribe literally. and put
their shoulder to the wheel and
help push this great work
through to completion. Mr..
Zoos calling for the feeling of
the citizens in regard to heading
of the stock books-Mr. Larsh,
Judge Haines, Morris, Daugher-
ty, Tizzard, Edison, Acton, Ste
phens, Hendricks, and many 9th
er citizens thought that the a.
greement between the r. r.. Co.
and subscribers was just right,
and that stock books should im-
mediately go into the hands of
energetic agents for the purpose
of soliciting subscriptions. Judge
Haines made an excellent speech
and which was well timed and
right to tho point.
On motion Of Judge Haines,
G. H. Edison and j. NJ. Daugher-
ty we're appointed agents tolsos
