It came through meeting Of the La

bers saying that l made living in
Portland by furnishing music for
houses OF questionable repute; that the
same was told by drummer from
Portland, who was here OF the time.
That il was done to permanently injure
me, cannot be disputed, and it is no
credit to the one that repeated such a
scandalous report. In duty 10 myself,
as well as 10 the ladies who were pres
ent the afternoon the malicious lie was
uttered, / viii present any one Of them
with a free ticket to Portland 10 go end
see for themselves the correctness. oi
this report, and viii also give another
free ticket to bring the drummer here
and say 20 publicly, "He is dirty mis-
cradle coward who viii stab behind q
mans back. 1 have been teaching
music for the past twelve years on the
Pacific coast and I challenge any liv-

here with choral. Prompt of remedies

showing him TO have been principal of the

LAFAYETTE, July s.-tSpecid. IAN extra
south-bound freight on the L., n. A q c.
railway was wrecked three miles south OF this
city this afternoon at o'clock by land slide,
the result of the excessive rains of the past two
DAYS. Sand covered the track to depth OF
one half foot to two feet for distance Of twen-
" feet. The track was down grade, and the
train was running to make a steep grade. The
engine. no. 81, fine "mogul," struck the OBJ
struction. plowed through it and ran some dis
lance on the ties before it overturned to the
left of the track. Sixteen cars followed the
engine. They were telescoped, broken and
piled in chaotic heap. Their contents, sheued
corn, salt, beef, agricultural implements and
other merchandise were strewn about and
ruined. Maurice Harnett, engineer. Charles
Blackwell fireman, and David Julian, forward
brakeman, were buried beneath the debris.
Julian. who had been with the road but week,
fell where the escaping steam struck HIM full
in the mouth and face, and caused immediate
death. Harnett's right arm was broken, one
limb badly burned and his head
terribly cut lie taken from the
wreck unconscious, and still lies at
the hospital here in that condition. Ills case
is almost hopeless. His family reside at
Springfield. III Blackwell crawled from the
wreck without assistance. His ribs are broken
and he Is injured internally. His case is made
hopeless by severe hemorrhage. He Is
member of the brotherhood OF hremen. Inc
loss to rolling stock of the company wilt
amount to over $4,000 Trains were delayed
greatly by the wreck, which is the most severe
that the road has experienced for some time.

the course of the speech he said that the re-
publican party had outliy ed its usefulness and
could not survive upon the dead issues of the
war, high protection and free whisky. The re-
publicans present became intensely enraged,
and sought TO infict upon him various indigni-
ties and insults After the conclusion of his
speech, and while leaving the house, he was at
tackled by republicans who attended his meet
ing and was severely injured. He was struck
on the head by swiftly thrown stone. Butler

The Tippecanoe Nonsense.
New York World

With due respect to our republican friends,
we protest against the weak and puerile at
tempt to introduce ''Iippecanoe-and-Tyle r-
too" farce into the campaign. 1t has penny
whistle squeak that is supremacy ridiculous.
There is nothing of the "log-cabin-and-hard-
cider" style about the present head OF the Har-
rison family, and hard cider would be an in
discreet accessory, anyhow, in a campaign in
which bid is to be made for the prohibition
vote. Besides, the repulse of the Indians in
the attack on Harrison's camp at Tippecanoe
wat not much of an affair.
We advise the republicans to have as little
to say as possible about Ilppeeanoe and to
leave therc andidate'S ancestry alone especially
as the "Regicide" story and the PocahOntas
story are now said to be mythical. Men are
not elected because of their fathers or grand
fathers or great-grand-fathers.

A Dish of Grow.

GOSHEN, Ind, July ESPECIAL. THE nice
dish of crow which the republicans of Elkhart
served up for their brethren here at the late
judicial convention has made the average
Goshenite crazy to wallow in Elkhart political
gore. So when they brought out their fellow
tOwnsman, J. L. Dodge, as candidate for con-
gress Gen. NJ. l.. Hascall of this city, was at
once trotted out to "do up the Elkhart man.
In order TO git rid of Van Slyke, who also has a
little congressional bOomlet maturing in his
noddle, the Goshen Times is earnestly pushing
him for representative. Whether Van Slyke
will see through this move and refuse to be
thus unceremoniOusly shelved remains TO be
seen. The rest OF the district will probably
have something to say upon the subject and
may spank the Elkhart county delegation and
nominate man of their own.

A ShelbrrilIe Murder.

SHELBYvnLE. July 9. Especial. Jacob
RopP, the seventeen-year-old lad who stabbed
and killed Jacob Medsker, at Bengal, this
county, yesterday. was brought in last night
and lodged in Jail, where he was interviewed
by your correspondent this morning. He
claims that Medsker has been imposing on him
for three years, but refuses to say what the Sc
eret of his enmity is, though it is reported that
there is a girl in the case. Ropp says he was
standing in front of the church when Medsker,
whom he says was intoxicated, came up and
commenced TO abuse him, and finally catching
him by the and insisting that he come out
in the road and fight him. They then started
out and as they walked around buggy and
came together Medsker struck at him twice,
Ropp responding with two blows with his
knife, the first being stab which penetrated
the heart, and the second inficting slight
cash in the left side of Medsker's throat.
Friends then parted them and Medsker died in
five minutes. Medsker was twenty-f0ur years
old and had been married about year, Ropp

pIore Anti.Harrison Sentiment.

ROCKVILLE, July Especial. l-Republi-
cans are very much disguised, Notwithstanding
the county is expected to give the usual
majority for them. In 1886 their boosted
majority was cut to seventy-six on treasurer,
ninety-two on clerk and the democrats elected
the auditor The democrats are in good
position for a sturdy fight on county, state and
national ticket. There are twenty-three
avowed greenbackers here with prominent and
brainy leaders. They declare themselves
averse to Harrison's every sentiment On the
greenback and labor questions. One remarked
to THE SENTINEL correspondent very recently
that the greenbackers had been awaiting an
opportunity like the pending one to return the
compliment that Harrison paid their intellect
when he referred to them as fiat idiots" and
their money as "yagabOnd currency" and that
1900 greenbackers were in line organized 10
vote against him. Prohibitionists are also OPP
posed to him. Such men as Alfred X. Stark
of the Parker bank. Attorney Elwood Hunt,
vigorous ,Prohibitionist,, and the Rev
y. ID. Morris, another worker, are
not ready TO lend their wide influence
toward the success of a platform that opposes
every principle of their profession. They each
supported Mr.. Blaine four years ago.
Arepubliean neighbor OF THE SENTINEL cor
respondent now takes THE SENTINEL. He
mildly says that he questions the Journals
position on some things. He was in the legis-
lature last term, elected by republicans.
John Beadle's paper, the tribune, revised
republican paper has made great change in
the district lately as a free trade organ, which
must ultimately rebound TO the strength
of the democracy. It's pushing editor, /. r.
StrOuse, successor to John ii. Beadle now or
New York, is of true-blue republican blood,
but is now liberal and will support with his
might, President Cleveland. He says
Cleveland is by no means what the free traders
want, but his honest administration of public
affairs, his answering allegiance to the public
good, his uncompromising attitude toward mo-
nopolists and his just demand for a reduction
of the war tariff in times of peace, make it
possible to a duty for every liberal person and
press to be his supporter. Dick Garland, q
soldier of wide local repute, is one of many OF
the ITibUHe'S converts, and he, in turn as his
following. In Parke county we exp ct great
changes, made through the changes lo.Ig on
entirely in the ranks of the opposition, so
that by the disafiected republicans, the green
hackers, the prohibitionists and the free trad
ers, we stand an excellent show of giving
Parke county democratic majority.

AtGang of burglars.

KNIGHTSTowN, July Especial. For sew

with a gang of burglars. Jesse Wright, who
lives near Greenfield, was arrested to-day and
confessed. He says that there are twenty-seven
in the gang and that they have been operating
in Henry, Rush and Hancock counties. To-
night the following additional arrests were
made: Michael Kriner Jesse Archibald

More arrests will follow. Miss Bedgood's store
at Clemland was robbed recently. She recog-
nized the thieves as Charles Jackson and Lon
Weleh, and both were arrested and the goods
recovered. Stolen goods were also recovered
at Jesse Wrights near Greenfield. 1t has come
also TO light that some of the gang formed a
plot to blow up the Panhandle pay car with
glyeerine, but the plot was frustrated. There
is general feeling of relief since the gang has
been broken nm
