Franklin, Ind, May AT late hour
last night, Noah Rodgers, whose infant child
has been suffering some days with smallpox,
heard some one, as he thought, trying to
enter his house, and going to the window
with pistol in hand, saw a man on the out
side acting in very suspicious manner.
He attempted to FIRE at the man, but the
cartridges would not explode, and the sneak
had reached the opposite side of the street
before the pistol went off. two shots being
fired at his retreating figure. This morning
Rodgers found note lying upon his porch
containing an order to leave, sDd threaten
| ing to burn the honse over his head unless
he vacated it before Tuesday night. No
clue is had to the party, but the TRANSACTION
is generally condemned by our citizens.

as the expense of the ratIie was very small.

ceased:
Among the deaths in New Orleans on June l.
1888. was that of William Hamilton, engineer
and sugar boiler, aged Al years. We remember
well when the deceased came to Thibodauz, q
smith shop on jackson street. He subsequently
found employment in the foundry, then worked
by Gary and jackson. Later he learned to boil
reputation that was known throughout the su-
gar district of Louisiana, and which furnished
him with remunerative employment at all times.
He was married to Miss Todd by whom he had
mother IN New York. His second wife is
daughter of shc late A. j. Sharp of Ascension.
A good and useful man has passed away.

FAIR PLAY rs A JEWEL,

1t is both matter of surprise and regret
to us that the first meeting of our new Town
Council should have been characterized by
proceedings which eandor and justice COM
pels us to condemn as extraordinary and
unfair.
The minutes of the session, which are
| published in this number of the CHIEF, will
fully explain themselves to our local read
ers and demonstrate plainly thepoints upon
which our criticism is based. 1t will be
| readily understood that, in maintaining or
increasing the salaries of the Mayor, Treas
urer, and Assessor-Who were appointed by
the Governor-and in the same ordinance
increasing the bonds and decreasing the
compensation of the Collector, Secretary
and Constable-who were elected by the
people--a palpable purpose is exhibited to
discriminate against and punish those off
GERS who contended for the legal right of the
citizens of the town to hold an election and
choose their municipal servants. AS the
position of these officials was in perfect
accord with law and received the sanction
Of the highest State court, the infiction of
penalty upon them for their course is
absolutely indefensible.
1t is not our present purpose to discuss
this matter IN ectenso, and even this brief
commentary is written ssmore in sorrow
than in anger" We have the highest per-
sonal regard for nearly all the members of
the new Council; we learned of their ap-
pointment with pleasure and counted con-
tldently upon an administration of town
affairs at their hands which would be a
model for their successors--a pattern of
hberailty, economy, integrity and justice.
We should have repudiated emphatically an
insinuation that they had special friends to
reward Or enemies to punish
Our personal regard and respect for these
gentlemen have undergone no change, but
we take the liberty of telling them, in all
candor and friendly spirit, that they have
exercised their official power to make an
unwarrantable discrimination and to do an
act of unfairness and injustice which will
never have the approval of their own con-
sciences, and which they will soon regret.
We believe them to have been influenced
by pernicious and partisan counsel into
setting this example of arbitrary action
which may one day return to plague it's
inventors. A sober second thought should
induce retraction Of this false step and q
reliance upon ordinary and legitimate
means of dealing with matters affecting the
veal of the corporation.
