The senate assembled at 1890 O'clock.
Mr.. KlNTER'S bill, No. 121: For the
completion of the south wing of the
capitol,
Was read the third time.
Mr.. SORLEY moved to assign the bill
as special order for Thursday afternoon,

had time to become acquainted with its
provisions.
Mr.. CASHEL favored such assignment,
and it carried.

MIR. BURKE moved to amend by striking
out the word "hundred" so as to make the

MIR. LAMB suggested that the attorney
general, who was present, be invited to
address the senate, which was agreed to.
Mr.. Standish stated that the bill under
consideration was drawn by himself.
Unoer the constitution the railroad COM
mission could be of no practical use. The
constitution was peculiar in this respect,
giving the legislature no authority to con-
M 1Sr judicial powers to the commission.
Ihe commission, further, was useless. ex-
pensive and needless. If it could I've done,
would be preferable To abolish the COM
mission altogether, but that was i'm.
possible, except by amendment of the con-
stit9tiOn. The bill supplied Il 9 best means
OF fridding the state Of an useless expense
The amendment of Mr.. Burke was
agreed to, and the bill as amended passed.
Adjourned to 1890 tomorrow.

into the air, swapping the large ropes
which anchored the canvas. as was sup
posed securely to the ground, as if they
were made Of sand and landed the tent
against a large tree at least one hundred
feet from which it originally stood. This
brought the meeting to a sudden ending
and the people sought refuge from the
rain-storm that followed in the more
substantial frame building which stood
near by. The storm was soon over and
was followed by a calm when Prof.
Long who SO narrowly escaped death
the day before, made his second bal
loon ascension with a successful and
magnificent parachute drop.
The meetings have been a success

A PARKE COUNTY MURDER.
The Outcome of a Series of Quarrels
between Brothers.

ROCKVILLE, July 15.-Special.-An-
other murder occurred in this county
at Swaim's cross roads, five miles east
Of here on the Bellmore gravel road,
this morning, and another man was shot
at the same time, but will probably re-
cover.
There are two brothers, Lafayette and
Moses Swain. living at the above
named place. and for years they have
quarreled about their land and other
property. They have had numerous
fights in the past and the court record
Is full of various law suits between
them
This morning Lafe went into field on
Moses land and began to cut wheat.
He was driving the reaper and an old
man by the name of Gabe Bryant was
with him. The latter has been about
here for some time. He formerly lived
near Danville, ILL.,, is half brother of
David Bryant of Howard, in this county.
He has a full brother near Hillsboro,
Fountain county.
Nose made his appearance and, with
out warning. began firing at the two
men with 38 revolver. The first shot
struck Bryant in the forehead, killing
him instantly. The second shot struck
Lafe Swain about four inches from the

Upton. July 13.-Specia1.!There was
quite a sensation in Upton today over
the shortage OF ]. K. Armstrong, treas
urer of Upton county.
The auditors statement to the Upton
Times today shows that the treasurer
is $500 short, as there should be that
amount on hand. AT present there is
not to exceed $500 in the treasury. The
bondsmen. however. are good for the
amount of the defalcation and the coun-
~ will not lose a penny. Mr.. Arm
strong has permitted his boys to run the
Office during the past two years and 1t
is believed and widely circulated that
they gambled, live extravagantly, were
dissipated and had appropriated the
money TO their own use. The treasurer
claims that he has considerable money
loaned out, but this is not believed by
the bondsmen, who realize the fact that
they will have to pay $1,000 or $500
each, there being twenty-six good men
on the bond.
The treasurer and his boys have no
sympathy here-especially is this true
of the latter-and democrats will aid in
their prosecution. II is clear case OF
embezzlement as il stands today and

1t is the first defalcatiOn in Upton
county for many years and IT will no
doubt inconvenience the county for sever
al months, and it may be the means of
stopping the work on the new court
house for a few weeks. The bondsmen
are very bitter and will aid in the prose-
cution. The party paper here and the
democratic party have no defense for
Treasurer Armstrong and the gross con-
duct of his boys.
Cal Armstrong, the deputy treasurer,
who is responsible in great measure
for the defalcation, was arrested this
afternoon on the charge Of embezzling
$4,000 Of the court house fund, which
is positively known to have been taken
by him. His downfall is due to his
sporting proclivities, as he has been a
heavy pIunger at the race tracks at
Chicago and st. Louis. He is the owner
of a very respectable string of horses,
which he bought lately with money
stolen from the county. His bond was
placed at $4,000 which he was unable
TO give and he was remanded to Jail.
Another one of the treasurer's sons,

ton in the office, left town and cannot
now be located. He is also implicated

spiritualistic seances, which have been
held there by a medium named Johnson,
of Toledo, o. There are a number of
spiritualists at Andrews, and just now
spiritualism is almost the sole topic of
conversation. The first seance was held
last Saturday night. At this meeting
the terrible wreck at Keller's station
some years ago was called up. The five
men killed in that wreck. including
Trainmaster Wilcox, were talked to, and
the noise made by the fated train, the

the wreck were plainly reproduced.
Those who were present in the room
were terrigly frightened.
