HIRAM MAYHEM came near losing his
stable few days ago. He was working
in the woods, a short distance from home,
when becoming tired, he started in COM
pany with boy, to go home. When near
the stable, the boy discovered smoke is
suing from the stable and shortly after
ward discovered blaze, in the corner of
the stable, near the door. The stable con-
tanned considerable hay at the time, and
it was well that the fire was eXtinguished
as soon as it was. What is strange about
the matter is that Mr.. Mayhem cannot
conceive how the fire originated.

WE have been informed that our old
friend John l.. Long, read extracts from
the STANDARD, at the Democratic indig-
nation meeting on last Thursday, which
put him in threatening mood. He
would "go into court" and do other terri
BILE things. Our advice to our friend Long
is to keep out of court. If we get into
any bodily fear we will call John Smith
to our aid.

On Monday night Edgar Meacham had
an examination before Mayor Aleshire on
charge of rape and was bound over to
court, and in default of bail was sent to
jail
| On last Saturday two young women, or
rather girls, named Angeline Garvin,
daughter Of Alexander Garvin, and Ida
A. Stewart, a niece of Mr.. Garvin, were
in Jackson, and a young man, nelghbor,
was to take them home in buggy. He
was late getting ready, and told the girls
to start, and he would overtake them.
They reside some five or six miles south
east of town. 1t was nine o'clock at night,
and they had scarcely got out of town
when Meacham and another young man,
not yet arrested, overlook them. They
managed to get the girls separated, and
the foremost one attempted an outrage
near the residence of II. c. Bum. She
screamed, and escaped, and got home and
raised the alarm, and the neighbors came
to look after the other girl. Meacham
told the girl, who is only IA years of age,
that her companion had stopped in the
woods, and to find her, they went into
Pickrels woods. When those in pursuit
got opposite the woods they heard the
cries of the girl, and went in pursuit. The
young men ran, and as it was dark in the
woods, being now about one o'clock in the
night, they made their escape. The girl
thinking the new arrival were more enc
mics, also made her escape, and reached
home. She had been fearfully outraged.
Her clothing, exhibited before the Mayor,
showed how she had been used, the cloth
ing being torn and soiled.
On Monday Constable T. w. Steele
caught Meacham in Richmondale, and
brought him to town.

WONDERS OF THE TELEPHONE-In
the forenoon on Tuesday we received the
following note from Price Brothers:
"Mr. D. Mackley. Come down and try
our Telephone"
We went down, when Frank Price
turned his face toward the wall, where
there was a desk with an aperture in the
centre, and said: "John, Mr.. Mackley is
here" We held kind of small trumpet
to our ear, the other end of the trumpet
being attached to a rubber tube, which
tube was connected with the wires. Then
we heard, as if it were at great distance,
but very distinctly: Good morning MI.
Mackley." We replied: Good morn
ing" Then he said: "How did you get
your cow out of the pasture this MORN
ing?" We replied: 81 got horse and
rode" Said he: 81 did not know you
could ride horseback" We replied: 81
was almost raised ON horseback" Then
he laughed. We could very distinctly
recognize his voice, and his laugh. Frank
then told us to ask him to play the violin
He said he could not play very well, and
he was afraid we would give him away.
Then he commenced tuning the violin,
and we could very distinctly hear not
only his touching the strings to test their
tone, but we could hear the screaking of
the keys as he turned them to tighten the
strings. He then played two pieces,
every note of which we could hear most
distinctly. We then said: Il must go; ;
good bve," Said he: Good bye: take
care of yourself
Mr. Price was at the coal mines, three
and half miles from town.

THE employees of the Springfield South
ern Railroad presented Frank Ellmaker,
Chief Engineer of the road, with fine
gold watch and diamond stud, valued at
800. The presentation took place last
Wednesday, at Springfield, at the residence
of William Thornburgh, Superintendent
of the road. where a banquet was served.
Mr. Ellmaker has Ii en- in the employ of
the road five years, and has host of
friends. He has now accepted a position
ON the Pennsylvania r. r.
Our town was represented at the pres
entation and banquet by V. H. Benton,
J. H. Halterman, Jake Mohler and II. A.
Bedel
Mr.. Bedel, the Jackson jeweler, fur
nished the watch, and most splendid
watch it is. We saw it a few days before
the presentation, and it was by far the
finest watch we ever saw-works Of the
most improved kind, case very heavy, fine
gold, the workmanship on which is in
the very highest style of art.
Mr.. Bedel is very good judge of
watches, jewelry, ETC., and always keeps
a very full stock on hand, and the fact
that he was called upon to furnish so fine
a watch, shows that his reputation is not
inferior to that of any jeweler in Spring
field, Cincinnati, or elsewhere.

store of Boggess and Dickson, on Main

taken before the Mayor, plead guilty, and
were fined five dollars. The fine and cost

even get the ham. They claimed that
they took it in a joke, but the Mayor
thought that they carried the joke, (or at
