CHAIRMAN OvERMYERS's VIEWS.
He Thinks the Republicans Have Abundant
Cause for Feeling Encouraged.

John Overmyer, chairman of the Republican
State central committee, came up from his home
yesterday morning, and will remain in the city
at the committee headquarters until this even
ing. From the reports that have been received
he thinks that the Republican gains have been
rather large, and he regards the result of the
election on the whole as very encouraging.
Where gains can be made, he says, 'by divid-
ing the Democratic party, as in the cities of New
Albany, Madison, Terre Haute, Lafayette, Lo-
gansport and Richmond, it is a favorable lndica-
ton for the campaign. The result in Indian
apolis has no political significance, because De
Ruiter lost only through his own unpopularity.
The rural townships are generally steady, and
there are probably no very marked changes.
From all reports that have been received the in
dications are very favorable to the Republicans. .
Reports were received yesterday by the State
committee from twenty-three counties, showing
Republican gains over the township elections in
1882 as follows: Cass county, one township;
Clinton, one; Dearborn, one; Fountain, one;
Hamilton, two and one a tie; Hancock, two; Jay,
two; Jennings, one; johnson, one; Knox, one;
st. Joseph, one; Tippecanoe, five; Washington,
one; Wayne, one; Daviess, one.

THE K0RNER MURDER CASE.
The Allegations Made to Obtain a New Trial
An Important Witness Dead.

The attorneys for Andrew Korner, who was
found guilty Of murder in the first degree, last
week, yesterday filed a motion for a new trial,
alleging ~ that the finding of the jury was con
trary to law and was not supported by the evil
evidence; ~ that the court erred in permitting
the evidence of Mary Sloan, concerning the re-
lations between Korner and his wife, also in
permitting the testimony of Thomas w. Pease;
(3) ~irregularity and improper conduct, in not al
lowing the defendant to answer certain questions
on cross-examination. About fifty other allega-
tions of errors of the court in admitting evidence
and giving instructions are made, and it is
claimed that pew and important evidence has
been discovered. Mrs, Clara Freeland
and Mary ]. ZoIer, made afRdavits
that at the time the police were
measuring the tracks in the Korner place imme-
diately after the murder, Henry Wampf said:
1T is a good thing l didn't have on shoes like
Korners, for they might think I did it" and
that IN fact he did have on such shoes, but took
them off when the examination was made. This
evidence, which was not brought out in the trial,
the attorneys claim tends to implicate Wampf in
the crime. 1t will be remembered that he was
the principal witness against Korner, and it is q
somewhat remarkable coincidence that at the
very time these allegations were made against
him, he had passed beyond the jurisdiction of
law, for he died on yesterday morning of typhoid
pneumonia. This may have a tendency to com
plicate matters. The argument on the motion
for a new trial will begin to-day.

Two Railway Mail Service Rumors.

There were two rumors regarding G. Jay
French, superintendent of this division of the
railway mail service, abroad yesterday. The
first was that French had been offered the su-
perintendency of the Dayton & Michigan rail
road, a road that runs from Dayton to Toledo,
and that Burt, superintendent of mails at the
Cincinnati postotfice, was being pressed for the
vacancy to be made by French's resignation.
The postal clerks here were greatly elated over
the rumor, but it does not appear to have any
substantial foundation. The second rumor was
that a reduction in the force of the railway mail
service was to be ordered; that 300 clerks were
to be dropped altogether in the different divis-
ions, forty of whom were to be taken from this
division. Postmaster Wildman was asked what
he knew about it. Nothing officially, he said,
"but I have heard that there is to be a reduction
of about three hundred in order that the cost of
the service may be brought within the present
insufficient appropriation, a Democratic Con
gress insisting on c~rippling the mail facilities of
the country. That would compel the discharge
of about forty men in this division"
Reporter-Mr. French will have no difficulty
in making the needed reduction in this division,
will hel He knows exactly who the forty are
that he can best sparel
Postmaster Wildman-I don't know; perhaps
he does.

Wants 600 DAMAGES.

Thomas F. Higgins has brought a damage suit
against the j., M. & I. Railroad Company, his
modest demand being $500 He alleges that
in June, 1867, while a minor, he was allowed by
the employees of the railroad company to ride on
their engines, and while doing so he was jolted
of, dragged under the wheels and SO badly hurt
that both legs had to be amputated. He elleges
that the engine was running at an unusual rate
of speed at the time, and that the proper signals,
such as ringing the bell and sounding the whistle

Board of trades Accumulated Funds.

The governors of the Board of Trade have in
structed the law committee to report what
steps are necessary to change the articles of as
ISOLATION so as to require new members entering
after the close of this fiscal year to pay an en-
trance fee proportionate to each members share
of the accumulated funds" 1t has become
necessary to make such a change because the
accumulated funds are now greater than the
annual dues of each person, and are increasing.
