OUR esteemed contemporary, the Trib.
une, will not do General Fremont SER
vice by taking up the cudgels for him
against Nicolay and Hays criticism of his
military career during the civil war. II
our neighbor is General Fremont's friend,
he will observe golden. silence, es-
pecially over the Pathfnder's military
administration of the Department of the
Missouri. The gentlemen who are now
publishing in the "Century" magazine the
history Of Abraham Lincoln have not
been half as severe upon Fremont's won-
derful conduct inst. Louis as has Gen
eral Sherman in his Memoirs" and to
defend that gentleman now from the mild
animadversion's of Lincoln's biographers
might provoke . retaliation which had
better be left to the writer's Of future
age.

The Democratic caucus will meet to

The Democratic caucus will meet to-
night to select delegates to the City
Convention. There seems to be a gen.
eral feeling that the new Charter will be
ratified by the Legislature, and in that
event it is almost a vain thing for any
man to expend much effort to secure
election to an Office that will, in all pro.
liability, expire in three or four months.
On this account it is difficult to find suit
able men to accept nomination. So far
gentlemen whom the party would be de.
lighted to honor with places on the
ticket have declined. But when the
convention meets we doubt not that ma
terial for good and strong ticket will be
found,

The South Side Irrigation Company,
who have the franchise to the sewage
of the city delivered at Vernon, informed
the Council yesterday that they would
not relinquish it, although they at one
time notified the city that they wished
to be released from it. They now say
they will let it all go but one hundred
and fifty inches; but the Council is not
in the mood to be trifled with, and has
determined that they shall have all the
sewage discharged from the San Pedro
street main sewer or none. As that
amounts to something more than four
hundred inches, it is believed that the
company will soon cry "Peccavi"

INDIANAPOLIS, November 26 The
switchmen's strike did not extend to-day
to the engineers or firemen as was antici-

except that all the roads were moving

applying for work at nearly every Office,
and the superintendents say
that they will have no diff.
Guilty in supplying every strikers
place within the next few days. The
day, taken as a whole, was rather disas-

ble weakening manifested by some OF
their number. The general officers of
the locomotive engineers and firemen's
associations did not put in their appear
ance to-day, as was given out they
would. 1t cannot be reliably ascertained
that either of these organizations have
taken any steps toward assisting or sus-

On May 2, Mr.. Gardner Upham
was 80 years old. Which occasion
was kindly remembered by his friends.
His pastor, Rev. G. A. Beckwith,
and Mrs. B. invited him to dine with
them which he did occupying chair
which was one hundred and ten years
old. In the afternoon he was pleas
antly surprised at his home by a few
friends who helped pass the remain
ing hours very happily. Mr.. Upham
is very grateful for the beautiful flow
ers and other tokens of remembrance
received. Seldom do we meet a per-
son of his age who retains their health
and vigor to such degree. He steps
as firmly and apparently with more
ease than many men at seventy-five.
One noticeable fact is that he has al
ways enjoyed good health, never hav-
ing found it necessary to consult q
physician, with single exception.
At the teachers examination or
April 2S, very few were present. Two
young misses of IA years, Nellie A
Stowell and Mamie Z. Lawrence

with pleasing results ; as each gained

ED-INCENDIARY.
Early last Sunday morning the
barn on the Melendy place, about "a
of mile west of the village, was
burned. The barn contained about
rs Or 80 tons of hay, three seated
express wagon, valued at about 1925,
and horse rake. About 8 tons of
the hay was owned by r. E. Bost-
wick. The remainder of the loss falls
upon the Melendy brothers. The Or
igen of the fire is unknown, but was
without doubt incendiary. 1t being
located some half mile from any trav-
