A very bad state Of affairs exists be-
tween our town and school district which
is that the town has small claim upon
the school building, for use as a Town
House and the condition of that school
room the day after election or any public
meeting is simply horrible. The effect
On children's morals caused by the sight
of what older people have done can not
but be damaging. The seats muddy, dirty
aud full of tobacco juice, old cuds, cigar
stumps, whittlings, even chips from the
desks-and worse still-vulgar scribbling
and pictures done by the less genteel OF
the motley crowd who always hang
around on these occasions, rendering the
room totally unfit for school room,
which ought 10 be neat, clean and tasty,
and entirely free from such dernoralizing
influences. An attempt is to be made to
dissolve the partnership and it is to be
hoped that no voter will protest against

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. "A B. Dennis was

acy to murder his sons wife. In an interview,
Dennis said that Edward Mellen and his wife
attended to the stewards department., the bar

der Mrs. Mellen, jr. went to the Stockton and
registered as Emma Long. She was followed by
q rough looking man who wanted to be assigned
to rooms adjoining those of Mrs. Long. Mrs.
Mellen, jr., was taken sick about
this time, and Edward, her husband,
was sent to Baltimore. DR.. Hoy, of this city,
was called in. He found her almost dead. Mrs.
Mellen, ST., refused to 60 to her, or to send any
tions filed and summoned the house keeper.
DR.. Hoy gave the latter instructions to allow no
one to administer the medicine but himself.
The next day Mrs. Long and the rough-looking
man left. From that time Mrs. Mellen i'm
proved, and in time regained her health.

A BRUTAL MURDER.
Bartholomew County Excited Over Murder
of the Most Brutal Character.

Special to tho indianapolis Journal
COLUMBUS, Ind, Jan. 2-Late yesterday
afternoon q courier came to this city and re-
ported that the body Of a murdered man had
been found in the edge of the woods, near the
pike Eve miles east of here. Esquire Kinny
acting coroner, at once proceeded to the spot and
found the body as reported. The head was
horribly beaten. one eye and part of the nose
gone, and there were Ave or six bullet holes
through different parts of the body. The man
had evidently been dead several days. His over
coat, revolver with one chamber empty.
and understanding club, all bloody,
lay near the corpse. 1t was identified
as the body of George A. Cooper. young man
Of twenty, who lived with his father few miles
from where the remains were found. The coro-
ner took some testimony on the spot. and then
ordered the remains brought to this city, where
a post-mortem was held to-day. The inquest
was continued, and is not yet complete. The
testimony showed that young Cooper worked, on
Tuesday, for Widow Fix, neighbor, Evan
Fix. her son, being with him. That afternoon
was the last time he was seen alive, though his
family felt no uneasiness as they thought he
was still at Mrs Fxs. Investigation showed
that the body had probably been hauled to whore
had come that far, then turned about and gone
back east. Suspicion pointed SO strongly to young
Fix that he was placed under arrested, and Is
now in Jail. Two other young mon are sus-
pected also, and will probably be arrested
This is the most horrible crime that has been
committed in this community fer many years
and creates great excitement II the guilty
parties could be certainly identified there would
be great danger of violence. The absence of any
reasonable motive for the crime on the part of
any one deepens the mystery and adds to its
fendishness IN the eyes of the public.

the alarm, the sea was extraordinarily high, and
persons residing near the beach, and more
especially those living at the Puntinella left
their beds, and watched the furious waves as
they broke on the shore, and fear of an irruption
