FATAL PLUNGE.
A Man Falls from a Barn Loft and
Breaks his Neck.

The Coroner, DR.. Hunt, was summoned
on Wednesday morning of this week, to
hold an inquest upon the body of James
Tucker, found dead in barn on the Jubc
Day farm, about four miles southwest of
town, occupied by Mr.. Alvin Newton, n
onin-law of the deceased. The facts
brought out on the inquest were as fol.
lows:
Mr.. Tucker, the deceased, was Il man
about Sc years of age, without family,
except a daughter, the wife of Mr.. New
ton, with whom he made it his home, in
tending to work the farm this season in
partnership with Mr. Newton. On Tues
day evening, near neighbor, james
McQui!len, stepped INTO Mr.. Newton's
residence for friendly visit and chat, in
which Mr.. Tucker participated, until
about s O'Clock, when he remarked that
he must go to the barn to give his horses
some hay, and Immediately started out,
being followed few minutes after by
Mr.. Newton and Mr. McQuillen, the
horse of the latter having been hitched at
the barn. When lie got there he found
that the horse had broken loose, and he
started for home, A few minutes after.
Mr. Newton went to the barn door and
called, Father" but got no response.
He called again, and then heard a groan.
He went to the house in haste and procur-
ed lantern, and upon entering the barn
found Mr.. Tucker lying on the floor, as
he supposed dead, with great cash in
his forehead, just over the eyes. Mr.. Nc
CULLEN was recalled Immediately, and
with his assistance, Mr. Tucker was car
ried to the house Here he gave two or
three gasps and expired without recover
ing consciousness. Upon the arrival of
the Coroner the next morning, it was
found that beside the cash in his fore
head, which had bed freely in the barn,
his neck was broken. The theory of Mr..
fuckers death, arrived at after eXamina-
ton of the premises and the attenGant
circumstances, is that he went into the
loft the floor of which Is simply few
loose rails with slight covering of hay
and in cropping in the dark fell through a
creyice, first striking the rump of one
of the horses, and from there dash
ing head forward on to the rdgy
and uneven floor of the barn. Striking
projecting, sharp edge of one of the
boards, he received the cash in his
forehead, and his neck was dislocatcd at
the same time The verdict of the Coro-
ners jury was in accordance with the
above facts.
Mr.. Tucker was Il man of exemplary
habits, and had the esteem and confidence
of all who knew him. lie lately came
from Illinois, where he had buried his
wife and eleven children, Mrs. Newton
beng the only survivor of his family.

THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE. The prospcc
tus of this first-class Republican journal
will be found in our columns this week -
We regard the Tribune as not only the
most complete and comprehensive in all
the essentials of a great newspaper, and
the most ably edited of the journals of
the northwest, but also the most reliable
in its opinions. Not that it does not
make mistakes, or that we can always
agree with it, but its general tone is that
of calm Judgment, devoid of partIsanshlp
and empty buster, which tells upon
public opinion, The Tribune is inflexi-
bly, Republican, and dealt telling blows
on the bogus reform party and its candi-
dates in the late campaign, but it never
sinks its independence or becomes the
meae mouthpiccc of scheming politicians.
We most cordially commend it to our
readers who want to take Chicago pa >
per. We will forward subscription for
the subscribers of the BULLETIN at the
low rate of II yer year, postage paid.

The editor of the Bulletin takes 1t to
heart because, having proposed to lend us
his Shanghai, we accepted, and allowed
him to crow for Tilden Brace up, broth
or, he was growing in Il good cause
Cdnserydtire
The above is not modelled after the
strictest standard of fact We have eX-
pressed no chagrin in the matter alluded
to. One would suppose from reading the
above. that our ncighbor secured our bird
by some deception or Misrepresentation,
which we resented when exposed. Is he
willing to accept that Interpretation? As
to the Shanghai Growing in good cause
it is only necessary to say that the good
cause was the theft of an electoral vote
for Tilden, in Oregon, by the Democratic
Governor, which the Consergatire itself,
acknowledged belongs to Hayes.

THE TAvERN.-This old fashioned des-
ignation for 4 house of entertainment has
been superseded by the more prctentious
title OF hotel, or caravanscry, or hostelry
or something else of the high sounding
order. II is seldom nova days that
the keeper of the most insignificant coun-
try inn, will acknowledge that he is Il
tavern" keeper, and this gives point to
the unique endorsement which c. 7.
Kimball, of the National Hotel, at ,Jcsup,
has printed on his cards:
Having desire TO once more keep
TAVERN | have refurnished the above
named House and will do all | can to
keep q good TAVERN and make my guests
comfortable Give me call when you
come this way. Good sample rooms to
this TAVERN. A Livery also in connec
ton with the TAVERN.

| \ WHIsHEY CONFEDERATION A man
named VIM. Bohun who lives few miles
north of town devoted a good share of
Wednesday to sampling whiskey at the
various places at which the article is sold
by the drink, which comprises nearly all
the saloons IN the city. When he had or
rived at that nice adjustment of his ca
pacity that would enable him to just get
home, with no margin for accidents; in
other words, when he was so drunk that
he could barely discern a hole in 'forthy
fut ladther,' he started homeward car
rying with him can of kerosene. BY
some means, while on the road, he man
aged TO saturate his clothes with the con
tents Of the can, and in this infammable
condition, attempting to light his pipe
with match he lighted himself instead
and between the fire within and the fire
without would soon have been
crematcd but for the appearance of his
brother on the road, who proceeded to
DO for him what the saloon men should
have done, namely: put him out. BY ex.
pcdtiously getting outside of his gar
mcnts he escaped without injury, though
1t was q close SINCE. His wife was in
town yesterday, notifying the saloon men
not TO sell any more liquor to her hus-
band; evidently impellcd by II wholesome
fear that she might wake up some morn
ing and find herself q widow. Bohun is
a neighbor of Tim Mahcr, the man who
was found frozcp in the road Thanksgiv
ing morning, and was companion in his
drunken bout the day before. The mis-
cradle fate of the latter seems TO have
worked no reformation in Bohun's habits.

A New Candidate.

The Detroit Free Press says
AT the calm, quiet hour of mid
night the other night, some one
halted in front of ERuse on In
diana street, occupied by an aged
colored man, and, heaving a brick
bat against the door, shouted;
"Huzzah fr blazes!"
The old negro came down to
market the next morning, and
when he met an acquaintance he
inquired:
"What ticket is dat Mr., Blazes
on?"
After he had told his story and
baep posted as to the candidates he
remarked;
Well, | doan' have much to do
wid politics, au' OBJ course | didn't
know. When de feller yelled out
so mighty big, and when de brick
hit de dQaF so powiful, ! made VI
my mind dat de new candidate was
gwine to carry de country by ten
million majority"
