An informal affair. delightful in every

! The beautiful home was brightly illu-

/ yet not profuse-character Of the

was indeed a pretty one. Mr.. and Mrs.

The speedy trial. conviction and con-
! domination of James h. Stone i'm the Da-
/ Viess circuit court Saturday morning for
/ the Wratten murders was a genuine rec

| whether it ever had an equal SO far as
/ speed goes. In fact the case from be-
i ginning TO end has been remarka BILE for
I Its unusualnesS in many particulars
| First. the crime was the most savage
! on record, and while there are cases
/ where as many persons have been slain
/ there is perhaps not another instance
/ where an entire family of this size has
/ fallen by the same murderous hand. And.
| the apparent want Of a motive also at
| tracts no little comment. The murderer
/ says he loved the family-that they were
! good neighbors, and he claims he did
| not secure any booty He also displays
/ general composition of mind and body
| the like of which is seldom if ever met
| with. He apparently has as tender love
| for his own offspring as any father could
| have, and. in full knowledge of the fact
( that the testimony of his wife and
! daughter before the grand jury led him
! TO the terrible trouble he is in, he does
/ not chide them for exposing his guilt
| but rather he praises them for telling
| the truth about it-Washington Gazette
The Columbia city Commercial says
| Prof. Kirsch of that town is taking
! great interest in his duties as fish COM
J missioner of the state of Indiana. He
| is doing everything in his power TO pro-
| tect the finny inhabitants of our lakes,
] rivers and creeks He Is also making
l an effort to stock the lakes throughout
! his jurisdiction wherever the people
| promise to enforce the laws of the state.
| He has just succeeded in securing $4,000
i wall-eyed pike for the five little lakes
| in Noble and LaGrange counties. In
| talking with Mr.. Kirsch we learned that
| he would be glad 10 secure an equal
! number or even more, If desired for the
! lakes in this county if the people will
| only guarantee to protect them. The
] minnOws that he is now securing will
| be shipped next spring to the nearest
| railroad station from which they are to
| be taken to the different lakes by inter
| ested parties. This is all done without
/ any expense whatever to the county.
| The people around our lakes will GER
| tainly pledge themselves to protect the
j fish for il would only be a short time
until the most uhlucky fisherman could
| catch all the fish he desired Let all who
| feel an interest in securing an abund-
| ance of fish give this matter their at
| tention.
In the death of William A. Beane. SEN
| Tor editor of the Democrat. one Of the
| most conspicuous characters in the city
| OF the last decade-has passed away.
| He was the personnel Of the paper which
by his genius he made for and gave to
| national reputation. His kind. sympa-
/ thetic nature drove away many a
| troubled look; for his presence was gent
| atty injected into life all around and
about him. He was not inclined to for
| get friends or enemies, although with him
] the latter were few. but such he pur-
| sued with all the energy of determined
| resentment. His constant espOusal of the
| rights of the newspaper fraternity was
| appreciated wherever he was known. Mr..
Beane was not brilliant writer upon
| matters of political economy and he had
no taste for such. He advocated men
| and measures. but he realized, and cor
rectly, too. that all parties had their
shams and that his own was not eX-
empt from such; and no man could es-
| cape his just castigation by concealing
himself behind party and vagaries. He
would say, Smoke him out" and "let
| the sunlight of public opinion reveal the
deception of treacherous humanity
whether in the capacity of preacher or
! teacher-rich or poor-high or low, and
the meek and the lowly everywhere had

smite the hand that helped him, whether
his bestowal were words of eulogy or
money or paper to read at his fireside.
The migrate to him was a thing for con-
tempt and to be Stunned. His facetious-
ness was a prominent characteristic and
what reader of the Democrat has not
been amused by the witticisms of it's
editor? His aptness in this respect has
always been a prominent feature of the
Democrat. Mr. Beane firmly believed that
| mans true and proper mission was to
| make the world better, and to increase
the store of happiness of each and all

Gen. John O. McQuiston and wife
were reunited in marriage at Columbia,
Cincinnati, last week after a separation
of twelve years. and the event smacks
somewhat of a romantic order in the
lives of the old couple. Fifty-one years
ago John c. McQuiston was married to
Frances Amanda Bailey of Kentucky.
In 1851 or 1852 they removed to this city,
where Mr.. McQuston obtained employ
ment in Craft &, Hobbs's distillery of
which Stout Morris, an excellent ma
chinist, was engineer. McQuiston &C
quired considerable knowledge of ma
chinery under Morris. He first began
railToading as fireman on the old l. & c.
railroad, then being built from this city
to Indianapolis, and which now forms
a part of the Big Four system. George
Fl. Dunn was president and Robert
Meek assistant superintendent and mas
ter mechanic of the new road. Nc
Quiston was ambitious and persevering,
and soon became promoted TO engineer.
He in time filled other important posi-
lions very acceptably to the company.
At the breaking out Of the rebellion he
entered the army as captain. and for
gallant service finally reached the po-
sition of brigadier- general. After the
