THAT man who was the victim of
mistaken identity on the part of our
sheriff the other day was probably
unable to appreciate the joke while
being dragged before the commission
as lun.tic, Notwithstanding his pro-
testations that there was q mistake.
Dan. knew better; he could tell he
was crazy the minute be clapped eyes
on him.
On Wednesday afternoon last, in
the broad light of day, some person
unknown entered the section house
at Hadsr Station on the Creighton
branch, and forcibly bound and gag
ged the wife of the section boss. Then
they proceeded to rob the house, and
succeeded in bagging three hundred
dollars, and then made their escape
Norfolk Journal.
BoRN.--On New Years day, to Mrs.
ID. L. Bruen, daughter, weight lO1s
pounds. The JOURNAL makes it q
rule to record all these arrivals when
ever we can get word of them, and
very gladly welcomes all little new
corners. We expect to hear from this |
special youngster in the after years,
and that she will be particularly we'll |
informed on the railroad question.
The Msnnerchor concert for the |
benefit of the poor school children of
the city will be given at the Opera |
House next Saturday evening. 1t is
expected that Miss Mary Turner and |
Miss Metz will assist in the entertain
ment, and also that the Columbus
Cornet Band will take part. This is
a philanthrOpic movement that will
commend itself to all and We hope to |
see the Opera House filled to its
utmost capacity.
The wife of Mr.. Mark Scharer of
this city was buried on Monday last.
having died in child birth, which oc-
Cured on Thursday last. The ap-
pearance of the body after life had
apparently departed was so uncom-
mon as to create doubt in the minds |
of friends as to whether the woman
was really dead or only in q trance,
and the body was kept until unmis-
taxable signs of decomposition had |
made their appearance.
The attention Of our readers is |
called to the statement of the First |
National Bank of this city, published |
for the first time in response to call
Of the comptroller of the currency,
showing condition at the close of
business the Both of Dec, 1882. 1t
shows remarkable growth and q
fine condition, considering the short
time it has been in operation-about |
month and half-and only about |
three weeks since receiving its circu-
lstion. The proportion of reserve to
liabilities is large, showing a conserv-
tive management and desire on the |
part of the officers aud directors to |
make it strong financial institution. |
Sunday evening at the NJ. E.
church just about the time Rev. Will
son was closing up an interesting |
sermon aud the audience being |
wrapped in perfect silence, the chan
delier hanging in the northeast wing |
of the church gave way, falling in the
aisle with crash. breaking every
thing connected with the lamps ex-
cept the iron rods, and instantly
setting fire to the carpet and every
thing else the oil had saturated. 1t
was a moment of a wonderful shock,
fear and confusion with the audience,
and many were the awkward move
ments made to extipguish the fire,
nothing being at hand suitable for |
