The city of Bloomington is just now en-
joying frst-class romance. Patsey De-
vine, condemned murderer, is lying in
jail there awaiting execution, and Lizzie
Barton, girl of seventeen, who has served
one year in the penitentiary at Joliet for
horse stealing, is an almost daily visitor at
his cell. The romance budded while they
we're in jail at Clinton together, about q
year and half ago. She was ut that time
awaiting trial for horse stealing, and he
was awaiting the decision of the supreme
court on his first trial. During the three

The judicial committee of Knox county
called consultation meeting of the lead
ing republicans from all parts of the county
to meet at Galesburg on the 18th inst, to
take into consideration the propriety of
calling a convention for the purpose of
selecting delegates to a republican judicial
convention. In obedience to the request a
large number of leading republicans met
at the county court room and organized,
with Hon. T. Judson Hale as chairman.
After an interchange of opinions q vote
was taken, when more than two-thirds of
the meeting voted that it was inexpedient
to call county convention. The Plain
dealer says: The gathering was certainly
"a triumph for Judge Craig. The commit
tee sent the invitations out at random
without knowing the opinions of the recip
tents, and If the same ratio holds good
throughout the county, Judge Craig will
receive the largest majority ever given any
man in Knox county"
HOME REPUTATION.
The Monmouth Attas has the following
ination in the republican ranks:
Thus far we have heard but three names
mentioned for the judgship, viz: Mr.. Bull,
a prominent attorney of La Salle county,
Judge Mccullough, of Peoria, and Judge
Glenn, of Warren. Either of these three
gentlemen is well qualified for the position,
and would reflect credit upon his constitu-
ents. The people here are not generally
acquainted with Mr.. Bull, though they
have ample assurances of his fitness.
Judge Mccullough presided few days in
Circuit Court here last fall, and left very
favorable impression upon those who had
met him, both as to his legal attainments
and gentlemanly manner. Judge Glenn has
been SO long q citizen here, and is so well
and faverably known to the people of the
neighboring counties and to members of the
bar throughout the state, as TO need no
commentator from us.
The prominence he attained on the
bench in this circuit, ranking almost inn
mediately upon his accession with the most
eminent jurists of that court IN the state,
is sufficient guaranty of his fitness for the |
higher position, and his genial and gentle |
manly manners, which always insure him |
a cordial welcome in the social circle, also /
commend him for the place. We are GER
tain that very large number of the peo |
pie Of Warren county, without regard to /
party, would be well pleased If Judge |
Glenn should receive the nomination, and he |
would be sure of commensurate support |
at the polls. He has, also. large fellow /
ing outside the county, and has been urg-
entity requested to take the candidacy by
gentlemen of the highest standing in the /
other counties The press of this circuit |
has spoken with much favor of Judge /
Glenn. and heartily seconds his nomina
ton.

uLrNOIs CITY.

Information from Illinois City, regarding
the sudden death of Louis Reeves, who
was struck by lightning last Tuesday, says
that the deceased was the youngest son of
NJ Reeves, of Illinois City. The boy had
just unhitched the horses, preparatory to
taking shelter from the storm in the barn.
The bolt apparently struck him in the
head, as the hair on the back portion of
his head was singed. The soles of both
boots were also burned. 1t is thought
that the electricity produced instant death,
as his expression when first discovered was
most natural.
