Lockner in December last, and who was
convicted of murder in the first degree at
the May term Of the Circuit Court for
Carroll county, Nd, committed suicide at
the almshouse Friday morning, at IL
o'clock, by cutting his throat with a ra-
zor. Since his conviction Pfautsch has
been confined in cell at the almshouse,
near Westminster, under guard night and
day. The guards had left the cell window
for moment this morning, and return

folded himself and cut his throat. 1t Is
not known how he procured the razor,
but it is supposed that he has had 1t for
some time concealed in a hole in the
floor or crack in a bench. An inquest
was held and the verdict Of the jury. was
that "Andrew Pfautsch came to his death
from wound of razor in his own
hand" A note found in his cell request

train on the Louisville, New Albany and
Chicago Railroad met with serious accl-
dent about four miles south OF Bedford,
Ind, Friday morning. The train was
late and was running fast to make up
time. Nearing the White river bridge the
rear coach jumped the track and rolled
down a steep embankment, pulling the
other coach and the engine tender and
mail and baggage car with it. The en-,
CINE also jumped the track but lodged
about half way down the embankment.
There were 35 or 40 passengers on the
train and all were more or less injured.

H-FIGHTING THE ARMY WORK IN ONO.
"A dispatch from Warren county, Ohio,
says that the army worm is playing havoc
with the barley in that section. Some OF
the farmers attempted to get the advaht-
age of the worms by harvesting their
barley, though green, but in this they
are being defeated and have quit cutting,
for the sheaf would no sooner be bound
than the worms would gather upon it,
and as soon as the shock was put up they
would cover it and eat the grain. Many
are now trying another experiment, with
some apparent success. A deep furrow
is plowed in advance of the worms, and as
fast as the worms come up to this furrow
they tall in it, and horse is attached to a
log, and this log is dragged back and
forth in this furrow, crushing the enemy.
One or two farmers are doing this work
day and night. The corn is suffering
with the barley, and the worms have also
commenced on the wheat in some places.
