The Murder Near Castleton.

Yesterday the coroner examined several wit
nesses elative to the killing Of j. c. Motif near
Castleton, the night of June %. Thos Henry
who did the shooting, was the important one of
the number. He gave an account of the affair
similar to that heretofore published. He told
about the man firing at him first and showed the
bat and vest with the bullet holes in them. bat
both of these articles showed powder marks
suggesting doubt as to their being made by any
other shots than those from Henry's revolver
lie denied that he went down the railroad firing
at telegraph poles and dogs previous to shooting
the man. Henry says the shooting occurred
about half past 8 o'clock in the evening, but
other witnesses said they heard shots at later
hour. Henry was sent to Jail in default of 81, 600

THE TELEPHONE TROUBLES.
The Patrons Committee Selects Counsel and
Calls on Subscribers for Aid.

The managing committee representing the
telephone patrons held another meeting yester
day morning, and decided to employ Addison G.
Harris w II. Calkins Cas- Byfeld and Judge
Livingston Rowland as the counsel for the
patrons in trying the case, upon which the valid
ity of the telephone law is to be tested. Judge
ii Gilman and r. O. Hawkins, members of the
committee, will assist them without pay. The
following circular letter. addressed to all patrons
Of the telephone service in the State, was issued
yesterday:
"1NDIANAPoLIS July 20, 1885.
'To the Telephone Subscribers in the City and State
1.-The managing committee recently appointed
by the contesting telephone subscribers propose
to press vigorously the duty of giving the new
telephone law strong support in the courts 1t
is believed that the law is fair and valid, and
that the company can very well afford to render
telephone service of acceptable character for the
reduced rate fixed. We therefore call upon all
telephone subscribers to contribute toward the
expense of indicating the new law, and the
sum needed must necessarily be large in order
to enable us to secure counsel able to cope with
the large array retained by the company, we
hope the subscribers will be liberal. and that all
citizens in sympathy with effort to uphold
the statute will do something to aid the cause.

It is the intention to enlist in the fight for the
unfolding of the law all telephone patrons in the
State, as all are equally interested, and there
fore subscriptions to the fund for defraying the
expenses of the case will be solicited in all the
cities and towns where exchanges are operated.

serviceable instruments at low price.
In buying piano or organ many persons
have the idea that they must pay all cash.
There are thousands of families who have an
income of fifty to one hundred dollars per
month who can easily spare from five to ten
dollars of it and scarcely miss it. To all such
we would say, do not wait to lay up enough
to pay for an instrument before buying, but
see or write us at once for our terms. No
matter if you cannot pay but five dollars a
month towards an organ, or only ten dollars
towards piano, let US hear from you without
delay, and we will satisfy you that we are Civ
ing easier terms than any music house in the
United States. We furnish hundreds of
homes every year with pianos and organs.
and take our pay in small installments each
month or quarter Were the purchasers
obliged to pay the full price of the instru-
ment in cash they would not buy one. All
letters of inquiry cheerfully answered. We
have men for that purpose alone, so do not
hesitate to write and tell us just how you can
afford to buy. d. r. BALDWIN g. CO.,
