HENRY c. COLE, Mayor of Kokomo,
Ind, was shot dead few nights ago while
surreptitiously conveying some flour from a
mill. The owners of the mill had for some
time been aware of the loss of flour, and on
the night in question the Sheriff with a
posse had been concealed near by for the
purpose Of nabbing the thief should he put
in an appearance. At little before II
O'Clock, as the Sheriff states, figure was
seen stealthily approaching the mill from
the rear. The man entered the mill and
had carried out four sacks of flour and de-
posted them near by, when he was ordered
to halt. At this he ran and volIey of
shots were fired at him. He ran about 100
yards from the mill and dropped on the
ground. The Sheriff's posse followed him,
and when they arrived at the spot in which
he fell they found Mayor III. C. Cole stark
dead, with revolver in each hand. Cole 8
previous reputation had not been altogether
unsmirched, but he possessed certain ele-
ments of popularity which enabled him to
achieve political preferment at the hands of
his fellow citizens. He was elected Mayor
last spring as an Independent Democratic
candidate, owing to split in the Republican
party of the city. Coles friends allege that
the whole affair is a damnable conspiracy, in
which he met his death at the hands of Bit
ter foes.

The Massachusetts, Republican State
21st. Mrs. Mary C. Livermore was a duly
appointed delegate to the Convention, and
was finally admitted to seat after her
claims had been twice rejected by the State
Central Committee. The present State Of
1icers were renominated without opposition.
The platform favors gold basis exclusively
for our currency; a revision of the Tariff
laws; a reform in the Civil Service; national
aid, where needed, in support Of common
schools; just and humane Indian policy;
the suppression of poligamy, ETC., etc. A
resolution of sympathy with the family Of
the late President Garfield and extolling his
brief administration, together with an ex-
preston OF confidence in President Arthur,
was unanimously adopted.

ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.
Ben F. Sain, the express messenger, says:
"The leader asked me for the key Of the
safe, ut the same time pointing revolver
directly Mt me. / took the key out of my
pocket, when he ordered me to open the
safe. 1 did so, and he proceeded to 90
through the contents of the safe, while The
other two stood with cooked revolvers point

the Express Company. belonging to the Iron

Each Of the robbers had light hair and
smooth faces and wore black felt hats, but
had no masks on. They appeared TO be or
binary country boys. Beginning in the mid
die Of the car they commenced plundering
the passengers.
Toward the ladies, of whom there were
only few i'm the car, they were especially
polite and gentlemanly.
E. b. Owensby, Woodville, Ala, SAYS

watches. when the robbers said, "Let your
watches and jewelry alone: we only want
change" To the ladies the leader said:
'.Be quie. and easy, ladies, you shall not be
molested. We only rob men, and not
women and children" The youngest of
the trio carried dark lantern and revolver.
The others had n revolverin each hand. Ali

They were of light complexion and rather
awkward. Quite number of the passen-

So complete was the surprise and so sud-
den the action of the men that the occupants
of the car were completely cowed. The
bandits reached for the valuables, which tho

A Lay Sermon.

Few Of the intelligent and educated
rsliRionists Of tho present hold TO the
plain reading OF the Bible in Genesis
that the earth and all that Is thereon was
made In six days. In order to reconcile
the teachings OF the Bible with the teach
ings Of geology. IL 10 10 customary to
claim that the true meaning OF that por-
ton Of Genesis which treats OF the crea.
ton IL that the six days referred TO mean
six indefinite periods Of tune. instead Of
ak days OF twenty-four hours each. This
reasoning might perhaps serve to deceive
q few persons. including themselves. 10
IL were not for other passages In the Bible
bearing upon the Same point, where the
conteIt plainly shows that tho days re-
fsrrsd 10 In Genesis mean days Of twenty.
fsur hours each. The fourth command
ment, in Exodus. rssds as follows:
Remember the sabbath day to keep
Il holy. For In six days the Lord
made heaven and earth. the sea, and all
that in them is, and rested on tho sew.
snth day /; wherefore the Lord blessed
the sabbath day and hallswed it,"
Now. this quotation clearly shows that
the day which man was commanded to

which man was commanded 10 keep holy,

commanded to keep holy. consists Of an

not strange. One position places them
in opposition to the plain teachings Of
the physical sciences; the other would
