MARTINsvILLE, Oct. 1.-The Commissioners
this morning appointed Calvin Ely as successor
of Trustee English, of Clay township Mr.
English seems determined to fight it out on the
stubborn line if it takes all summer By his
attorney, he this morning attempted to appeal
from the order of the Commissioners declaring
his Office vacant to the circuit Judge His pro-
ceedings were Immediately stopped by the
county attorney, who informed his attorneys
that there was no appeal from the order of the
Commissioners. The report of the two trus-
tees filed with the auditor, shows the indebted
ness of the two townships to be as follows: Greg
DRY township. j. A. Shipley trustee, ST. S35 SIS;
Clay township. A. L. English, trustee So 679 sc.
Thus it will be seen that the financial condition
of Mr.. Englishs township is worse by thou
sand dollars than that of Gregg, although there
is no doubt Mr.. Shipley has issued the greatest
amount of bogus orders. No steps are being
taken yet to prosecute English.
