a snecfaI Grand jury

Was impaneled last week, and bills were
found against all the tramps whose arrest
we noticed last week 1t was hoped they
would plead guilty and save the county the
expense of keeping them all winter, but
they were too sharp for that, SO their trial
goes over to the January term. Indiet-
ments were found as follows:
Burglary and Larceny-Joe Coburn, Jim
Mason, Frank Wilson, Tom Allen, Thos.
Laughlin and Arthur Chambers, for enter
ing and robbing DR.. Wilson's and Mr.. L.
Crawford's residences in Greenfeld-tTo
indictments.
Petit Larceny-Frank Wilson, Jas. Ma
son, Joe Coburn, Tom Allen and Thomas
Laug ghIn, for stealing DR.. Quinn's over
coat
The same parties were also indicted for
Housebreaking and Larceny, at the resi-
dence of Harrison Dent, colored.
Ed Jones and Charley Slusser were also
indicted for Burglary at the Patrons Sup
ply House. Their bail was not changed,
and both were committed to Jail, Slussers
bondsmen refusing to continue on his

pleasant Surprise.

Sunday, Nov. oath, was the 14th ami
versary of our friend, A. J. Frazier's liberia
tion from Andersonville Prison, which he
has been in the habit of celebrating by a
big dinner. This year he departed from
the usual rule and went with his wife to
Cincinnati, to spend the day with friends.
On their return Monday evening, they
we're astonished to find their house thrown
open and filed with guests, who had spread
a royal feast, in which they invited Mr..
and Mrs. F. to Join them. After supper
the evening was spent in social conversa-
ton; and Mr.. Frazier recited some Of the
horrors he encountered while in prison,
which are still fresh in his memory. The
company we're treated to some excellent
music by several of the guests, and the
whole affair was greatly enjoyed. The
company consisted of q persons, and Mr..
and Mrs. Frazier deem it quite an honor
to be remembered by their friends insuch a
pleasant manner.

MARROW cAUCENEWs.
Interesting Items as to How
the Work is Progressing.

In an interview with Engineer Picard
Monday morning, we gathered the follow
ing items in regard to the work on the mar
row gauge between this place and Sardinia
Mr. Ad. Kennedy, of Sardinia, drove the
first spike on the c.. & NJ. at that place last
Thursday. Flint Rockhold says he is the
man upon whom the honor was conferred,
but on inquiry, we learn that it was only a
ten-penny nail that he drove in a cross-tie.
Six fiat cars were ordered by telegram
Monday morning from the Barney & Smith
manufacturing company Of Dayton. They
will be delivered at Batavia Junction
Wednesday, and viii be used on tie con
struction train.
-Four depots On the line between here
and Sardinia are already up namely, at
Mourytown, Taylorsville, Sraightout and
Cochrane's Station. They are built Of
frame, and are quite handsome.
It is expected that the track-layers viii
be halfway between Mourytown and Tay-
lorsviIle by Saturday night.
Frank Coine, of the Panhandle road,
and lately of the Westwood narrow gauge,
an experienced engineer, has been employ
ed to run the aWhiteoako on the C. & NJ.
Ollie Gould, who has fred for I'd. Rother
on the N. & c. Railroad for the past four
years, will be the fireman. Both are now
actively engaged in their duties Of running
the construction train.
The track-laying commenced last Friday
morning, when about half-mile was fin
ished, but the work was stopped on account
of the spikes, plates and bolts not having
arrived. The work was commenced in
earnest however, last Monday afternoon,
with twenty-five hands employed, and one
mile per day will be laid after the work is
we'll under way. The track will all be
laid into Hiilsboro by Christmas, unless
the weather should be very uufayOrable.
The new engine 'Whiteoak," arrived at
Batavia Junction last Friday She is an
eight-whceIer, with drivers 2 inches in di-
ameter. She is 40 feet long, including the
tender, and weighs 164 tons. She is very
handsomely finished, and is a frst-class
machine in every respect. Her capacity
was tested last week by pulling IS gross
tons up the Batavia grade, on the C. & E.
road, which is 40 feet to the mile. She
Will be able to draw twenty loaded cars
over the road from here to Sardinia very
easily.
Engineer Picard left for Sardinia Monday
afternoon to start the track-laying.

Tho Glenn FamiIy-A Card.

EDITOR NEws:-I take this means Of in
forming the many friends Of Harvey
Glenn and family, that those horrible tales
in circulation, to the effect that o. S.
Glenn and family, and DIR. Glenn and Mrs.
Mccoy, we're burned in o. S. Glenn's
house by the Indians, are altogether false.
I wrote Immediately on hearing these re-
ports to Mrs. c. c. Glenn, to learn the
truth, and her answer assures me nothing
has occurred in the Glenn settlement to
give rise to such blood-curdling tales. The
only trouble the Glenns have had with the
Indians was in the loss of some property.
They stole II or Is head Of horses from g.
P. and O. S. Glenn that were in pasture
about 3miles from o. S. GIenn's house
They also cut G. P. GIenn's ferry boat
loose and sent it down the river, but it was
recovered.
O.S. Glenn turned his house into tenn
porary fort, at the beginning of the Indian
hostilities, for the protection Of his OWL
and his fathers and as many Of his neigh
boris families as he could accommodate
and there were 8 families living in thi
small fort about months, until the Gov
ernment sent a company of soldiers TO
their protection. They have all now dis
persed to their homes with feeling Q
comparative safety, although the Indian
were only about 40 or 80 miles from tn
settlement at last account.

Rouncing a Bad citizen.

The old ScripturaI law Of the sins Of the
parents being visited on the children,
seems to be reversed in the town Of Slbina,
as will be seen by the following item from
last weeks Sabina News:
J.D. Gordon, father of Scott Gordon,
was informed few days after the Manmel-
sci murder, that his character was such as
To render him obnoxious to the citizens of
the community, and that the best thing he
could do would be to make himself a little
bit scarce. Certain threats that he had
made against those who had destroyed
Eibe's saloon made his presence still more
intoIerable, so when it was found that he
was paving no attention to their advice,
they concluded to rid themselves OF. him.
With this intent we are informed, num-
Der Of them seized him in front OF Grubbs S
shop last Tuesday night, and escorted him
to the Floral Hall, in the Fair Ground,
where tar and feathers and lynchlng were
alluded to in a manner that did not con-
tribute a great deal to his comfort. Indeed,
IT Is limited. that a moose was placed in Un-
pleasant proximity to the coupler between
his head'and shoulders At any rate, 1t Is
claimed. that he was made to beg with
tears in his ewes for mercy, and promises
such as his captors chose to extort were
gotten from him with little trouble. This
was all they wanted, so he was taken to the
Greenfield pike and started off without
further ceremony. He had previously
boasted that he didn't intend to leave till
he got ready. 1t seems his preparations
were soon made. Such, at any rate, Is the
report.

LAMP-LIcHTERS A NECES-
SITY.
What Council Should Do
for the Safety of the
Town.

In speaking Of the burglary Of the
Grange store in our last issue, we referred
to the police having to light and extin-
guish the street lamps; and we now wish to
present some facts in regard to the matter,
for the consideration of the public In
looking over the calendar for November,
setting down the time for lighting and
extinguishing the lamps, with which the
police are furnished by the Gas Company,
we find they are required to leave their
post of duty to extinguish the lamps at all
hours of the night, and that they were thus
engaged on the night of the 14th, when the
Grange store was burglarized, else they
might have caught the rogues in the act.
Now we contend that for the safety Of
the community the night watchmen should
have nothing to do with the street lamps,
and that our Council should hire men for
that purpose, at least during the winter
season, when tramps are likely to be nu-
merous and troublesome. Two night
watchmen cannot possibly attend to their
police duty and also to the lamps. The re-
suit is, that under the existing arrange
ment, they must, as a matter Of course,
leave TIE business part Of town to
take care Of itself while attending to the
lamps.
The watchmen inform us that they can
not extinguish the lamps in less than an
hour and hall, Land in that time experienc-
ed burglars could rob half a dozen stores,or
even burglarize one Of the banks, and then
what wall we would hear from the bust
ness men, of "where were the police ?"
when very likely they would be away out
in Thompsonville or in some other distant
quarter of town, when the act was com
mitted, and would not be to blame in the
matter at all. Such things are likely to
happen, and "forewarned is forearmed," or
at least ought to be.
We earnestly hope that Council will take
some action on the matter at their next
meeting. Indeed we think it is their duty
to do so, as our business men are more
heavily taxed than other citizens for the
salaries of the watchmen, from the fact
that they are the largest taxpayers.

Performing Beers.

Last Friday evening three men, accom-
panied by two large Cinnamon bears,
made their appearance on our streets, and
gave several exhibitions of the animals,
which were exceedingly well trained, and
could to almost anything, except read and
write. Dancing, climbing trees, shaking
hands and walking on their hind legs was
simply amusement for them, and one Of
them actually turned a summersault. One
of the men wrestled with the smallest an
imaI several times. It was mp and tuck"
between them, but the man generally fell
on top. A collection was taken up at
each exhibition to defray expenses.

when he was surprised by an armed guard
marching in on him and escortinghi him to the
armory, leaving his fair one in state OF
unbearabIe suspense for fear Of his safety,
she not being posted in military tactics.
Corporal Gregg was treated in the same
manner, except that he was taken from
the presence of his wife and child. This
item Is a little old, but we could not think
Of sighting our brothers-in-arms when we
heard of the circumstance.
