A Lawrence County man seems to
have gotten into trouble in Indiana.
Some three years ago Mr.. Orville
Moore, Of Lawrence, Ohio, went to
Liberty, Indiana, and became teacher
Of country school near that place.
Among his pupils was Sallie Barnes,
pretty-faced country maiden. Orville
won her her heart, and asked for her
hand, which was willingly bestowed.
But Orville suddenly departed and
came back to Ohio, when it was dis
covered that Sallie had been ruined.
Then detective was sent after Or
vile and he has been taken from
South Point, Ohio, and placed in jail
at Liberty, where he has been indict-
ed by the Grand Jury.

Washington City has been shaken
to her foundations. Fred. Douglass
has married white woman. A news
paper reporter called upon Mr.. Doug

that his domestic affairs were matters
of his own business, declaring that
"God Almighty made but one race" T"

titled to marry the woman Of his
choice as any other citizen. At any
rate, Fred is married, and what is
Washington going to do about it?

At a drunken earousal by crowd
Of Germans at Mansfield, Ohio on last
Saturday night, one fellow, Philip
Bruner, got so drunk that he was
compelled to lie down upon the bed,
taking off his boots for that purpose.
While Bruner lay dreaming Of lager
beer, bologna, fertilizer factories,
slaughter-houses, and the like, wick
ed Dutchman named Jonn Reamer,
took glass Of beer and poured it into
Bruner's boots. Of course this could
not hurt the flavor of the beer, but it
made the boots uncomfortable.
When Bruner recovered from his
drunken stupor sufficiently to be able
to pull on his boots, he was Mortified
to behold the beer gushing out Of the
tops.
Then Phil. got mad. He could dash
off his twenty glasses Of beeF with
any man, but this was the first time
he ever got so full that the beer ac-
tually ran down into his boots C.
+" "Ha! Dot Shon Reamer ish der
man Won done dis! I makes me efen
NIT him, right avay!'
And Phil. started out to hunt
Reamer, whom he found on his way
home. He assaulted Reamer with a
knife, cutting cash from which
Reamer.," .,"lost nearly two gallons of
blood" But as there is no record Of
his having lost any beer, perhaps he
may pull through yet.

Gen. Hancock is quoted as saying

This seems to be the banner year
for horrors Of all kinds. The daily
papers are filled with details Of the
sinking of ships, explosions in mines,

however, and by different devices. At

pulled up by main force. It is novel
