What . Reporter has to Say Of Some
Of Then.


OF Then.
The homes of citizens are made the
test of their loyalty to principles of
social order, patriotism, and morality.
But little can be expected of those
who remain long Indifferent to the
surroundings in the family homestead.
Our business men are doing much
to enlighten those who are by priva-
ton left out of the reach Of the direct
influence of comfortable abundance.
In the line of furniture we take espe-
cisl pride in naming
Mr.. JAMES z. MUNGER,
and in making assurance doubly sure,
by the consent of the hundreds who
are patrons of his establishment. The
success attending his efforts must be
our reason for bringing out in earnest
words our sincere appreciation of the
manner in which he conducts his bus
iness. That he is prompt, reliable,
Trustworthy and obliging, are but
general expressions in the community.
His prices are moderate, the stock
complete, variety for all purposes,
and everything substantial. His
specialties are the providing of COM
plete outfits of parlor and chamber
suits, kitchen sets, office furniture,
library and book cases, tables, sc.
Even the plainest article desired by
any customer is furnished with the
two-fold object of giving and receiv-
ing value for all material and labor.
But while he supplies the best that
can be found in the cabinet-makers
catalogues, for the comfort Of the liv-
ing, he is also prepared to make the
last Offices for the dead as void of
sorrow as it is natural or probable
they ever will be.
The hearse is an attendant at most
funerals, and when one can be secured
on the easy terms offered by Mr..
Munger, it would seem unnecessary
10 urge it's advantages. But there is
another feature to be mentioned. The
process of embalming as practiced by
Mr.. Munger, removes much of the
outer evils Of the case, and though not
making any one less sensitive to the
common enemy. death, yet it provides
for the memorial and other services
without the distressing features often
surrounding the neglected cases,

The Quacke.b.sh Case.

The JOURNAL gave last week the
substance of what it could gather in
regard to this case. The examination
before the coroner was, it seems,
sometimes public, but mostly secret /.
We could readily see why this might
be advisable, and 80 had nothing
specially to say against it. We have
been informed (not by the coroner,
who refused to tell us what the ver-
dict was) that the verdict of the jury
was that the unfortunate girl came to
her death, by violence, at the hands
of , and others. On
Monday morning, Sept. %, we sought
an interview with Coroner Heintz
and inquired as to the present status
of the case, when he told rs that
warrant was ready, but there was no
money. 1t seems to be his under
standing of the law that he must have
money in some shape, from some d.
rection, to pay an official for his
work. We have had numerous in
quiries as to why no arrests had been
or attempted, and this seems to be the
explanation in nut shell.
The law says: "If the person chsrg-
"ed be present, the coroner may
"order his arrest by an officer or any
"other person present, and shall then
snake a warrant requiring the officer
cor other person to take him before .
"justice of the peace for examination,
cor if the person charged be not
"present, and the coroner believes he
'can be taken, he may issue warrant
"to the sheriff or constable, requiring
"him to arrest the person and take
"him before a justice of the peace for
Examination"
"The warrant of the coroner shall
"recite substantially the verdict of
"the jury of inquest, and such war
rant shall be q sumclent 1Oupdatl0n
"for the proceedings of the justice
"instead of complaint"
It does seem to us that Coroner
Heintz, in making out . warrant and
locking it up in his safe, and waiting
for some officer to come around and
proffer his services in it's execution,
has a strange conception of bis duty.
He says he is ready to give it to any
man who will undertake the work,
and we give him credit for an ex-
pressed desire to do bis whole duty
in the matter, whatever it may be.
We place the facts, as near as we can
get them, before our readers, who
can draw conclusions just as we'll as
we can.

wild cheers, ''the Old War-horse" made few
remarks.
The qualification of Kokomo Kern over
his nomination is exceeded only by the infinite
happiness which it brought TO Lieutenant Oscar
Henderson.

About the most lonesome looking man in the
city last night was Colonel Holden, of tho
Evansville Courier who came to the convention
solid and unanimous for Turpie and Cabbage.
Mr.. W. +. A. Bernhamer, tho kangaroo states
man from this city was not selected for secre-
tary as he wished to be- Bernhamer does not
seem TO be receiving the recognition that is
justly due him.
Lincoln Dixon, of North Vernon, the prinei-
pal secretary, discharged the duties of that po-
sltlon admirably, and H. NJ johnson, the silver
haired mugwuInp. was quick and accurate in
footing up the votes.
And once more we feel called upon to remark
that the distinguished political services of the
Honorable William Howson, of this city, have
not yet been recognized. Something should be
done about this matter.
During the ballot for Governor the chairman of
the Newton county delegation said Newton
county has three votes, and if she had 300 they
would all be cast for Hon. David Turpie," which
was decidedly encouraging.

the Democratic presidential electors for the
State at large is member of the Board Of

shouted out, Come on Bubby, and make US a
