Aged, but Important Information.

"The recent death of Nineveh Berry, at An
derson, reminds me of something" said an old
citizen. "Nipeveh Berry's father organized the
first surveying party that surveyed Bartholo-
NEW and Johnson counties. Nneveh, who was
boy at the time, was chain carrier, and fell
into a stream, now in the southwest part of
Johnson county, and came near being drowned
In memory of that event the stream was called
Nineveh creek, which name it now bears. There
is also Nineveh township in johnson county
and one in Bartholomew. Now I'm In for it I'll
tell you how Timber Lost creek and Loblolly
Swamp up in Jay county, got their names. In
the first or one of the first parties of surveyors
that went through what is now jay county was
tall, thin young fellow, Jim Miller, whom his
associates called Timber Jim. One day Jim
went turkey hunting and got lost. He was gone
three days, and when he turned up he remarked
that he had got lost in them burned loboies.
60 he furnished the names for both creek and
swamp"

edition that Judge Norton, of the Criminal
Court, is engaged in investigating the state
ments and interviews of Stephen W. Dorsey. re-
garding the alleged methods by which Indian

charges made by others, with view of return
ing indictments for buying voters. Judge Nor
ton says he has not taken any such steps, and
in fact has not even read the so-called Dorsey
confession" and will not do anything unless
the matter should be brought before him in the
regular way. The grand jury, which has charge
of such matters, has not thought of attempting
to do anything, and in fact, If any such investi-
CATION should be started, if would probably be
in the federal and not the county court.

The yincennes Lottery Scare.

The rumor that there is to be revival OF the
Vincennes lottery throughout the State does not
seem to be well founded. 1t is said that a
"policy shop" is now being run In Terre Haute,
as part of the old swindle. A Journal reporter
yesterday asked John T. Woodward, former
agent of the company here, about the matter.
He said that he placed no credence in the rumor,
for If the lottery scheme TO be revived, he
would have known something about 1t. He
said, further, that there was a policy-shop run
nIng regularly in Terre Hauto, but they get their
numbers" by telegraph from Covington or
Louisville, where the business is regularly con-
ducted.
