Thrilling Tragedy Of War Days Recalled by
tho Death of q vandalia Citizen.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
VANDALIA, Jan. 7.-At his home in Hur-
rlcans township, this county, recently, oc-
CURED the death of Levi Sears, commonly
called Uncle" Lew. He was famous
character in his way, and his death re-
calls thrilling tragedy enacted at his
fathers house. in Fayette county, in war
days. 1t was Aug. IL. 1854. that troop of
cavalry was passing the house of his father
then called Uncle" Johnny Sears. The
old man was bitter against the soldiers
and. getting his old squirrel gun ready, he
fired on the cavalrymen. and one fell
wounded. Three or four shots were fred
in quick succession from within the house.
An order was given by the lieutenant IN
and the front door of Sears's
house was riddled with bullets. The
soldiers were not anticipating any trouble
and the sudden attack led them to believe
near at hand: At the volley fired by the
soldiers the firing ceased within. The SOL
diers dismounted and surrounded tho house,
and on investigation found they had killed
both John Sears and his wife Hannah.
The door stood slightly ajar and both
bodies lay almost againstlt, pierced through
and through by the bullets from the SOL
diers' muskets. Their son Lew had erected
over their graves monument, upon which
is the following inscriptions: "In memory
ct John Sears. who fought under Genel al
jackson at New Orleans and was killed in
his own cabin by the soldiers of the Forty
first Regiment. Illinois Volunteers, Aug

RUSSELL INAUGURATED.

The Bay States Democratic Governor Be-
gins Another Term and Presents q Message.
BOSTON, Jan. 7.-William E. Russell was
to-day inaugurated Governor of Massa-
chusetts. His address was read to both
branches of the Legislature. The Governor
devotes the larger portion of his message to
an argument against the divided RESPONSE
bility, or no responsibility, in the system
of executive management established in
this Commonwealth. He earnestly recon-
mends favorable consideration of such
legislation as will give the power to re-
move administrative officers for cause
stated, to the Governor leaving the Council
the power of confirmation of his appoint
ments. He then reviews the several execu-
tive boards and officers, making sugges-
tions and recommendations ss to each one.
He recommends the passage of q compre-
hensive and stringent law to
secure the publication of election
expenses and if possible to limit this
amount and define their proper object nd
urges an amendment to the ballot law, so
that single mark may constitute vote
for all the presidential electors of pOlit-
zeal party. At present to give full effect
to vote for President the voter must
mark separately the names of fifteen elect
ors The danger is that with the present
extent of partial voting many voters,
through carelo ssness or mistake, Will not
m ark the foil list of electors. In q close
election this would certainly lead to an
upintentionai division of the electoral vote
of the State He further asks legislation
in the interests of labor, and requests that
national legislation be petitioned for, pro-
yiding for the adoption of safety appii-
ances in coupling and uncoupling cars.
