] Second presbyterian church of this city
I to the pastorate, occupied the pulpit of
| that church at both the morning and
| evening services Sunday and preached
| two excellent sermons TO large and APP

accomplished by 1t, which was handled
| by the speaker in an able manner.
| Christian charity and kindness was the

| that Thomas Trusty had accident'y
shot and killed himself. The particulars

| climb when a rail broke and he fell.
| In falling the hammer of the gun hit
| against the fence and broke, causing an
| explosion, the contents of which entered
| his right breast. His wife heard the
report and also her husbands call for
| help and Immediately went to his res

and started to run, then turned and
| lifted his little boy, who had accompan-

| had gone about fifty yards and again
| fell. His death resulted within five
hours after the accident.-Pike County

Last week at Petersburg an Adver-
tiser man, while waiting for a train
| home, heard a fellow, presumably
! populist, eXpounding the financial Ques-
! ton and the general wreck of the cOun-
try to a patient listener. Among other
- Il
| Weaver were only in the presidential
chair now instead of that dodgasted
| Cleveland, we would have plenty OF
money and times would be good. The
| country has gone to hades!' A quiet,
| solid-looking old farmer, who stood
near, remarked slowly: THE country
| is in a thousand times better hands
| than IL 1t were In charge Of the Weaver
crowd. AS stalwart a republican as 1
| am, lave great respect and confidence
| in President Cleveland. The country Is
| in good hands. At the head of the gov
eminent is a man with a head. Weaver
is a man without a head."-Washingto
| Advertiser.
| A certain young NJ D., living not a
thousand miles from here, had ludi-
crous though painful, experience Satur-
| day from which he carries his left leg
| IN a sling. He felt something moving
| in the leg Of his trousers near the knee
| and with bated breath clapped his hand
upon that portion of his anatomy. A
terrific scream, a human form bounding
| heavenward and all was quiet. "A search
| revealed the fact that bee had fondled
| him in its loving 90 embrace, and now
/ he walks with limp and an enlarged
| knee joint. This was little more Sc
/ rious than the experience of youthful,
auburn-haired grocery clerk on the East
| Side, who, upon two occasions, has had
1 to battle with that vicious enemy Of all
| womankind, a mouse, which had mis-
| taken the leg of his trousers for Its hole
in the wall. officers Of the law rushed
/ in, thinking some person was being muir
| dered, only to find the said young s. c.
| with his heart lodged in his throat and
almost choked to death.-Noblesville
| Democrat.
| Constable Joseph zimmerman Of Odon
| brought Edward Fellows, aged seven
| teen, to town today and lodged him in
| Jail, and from here went to Oakland
| charged with same crime. These boys
/ are young criminals, and are charged
| with stealing $240 from Joseph Taylor,
| with whom the latter lived during fair
| week. They came to town and spent
| the money for bicycles. Young Taylor
/ is a nephew Of Joseph Taylor and knew
| where the money was kept in the house
before he took IT, The way Mr.. Taylor
| discovered the fact that the boys had
/ stolen the money was through a con-
fession by one Of them to a neighbor.
/ At the preliminary examination Fellows
| was placed under a NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
| bond, but his father refused to go on
| II. and he was brought to Jail. Young
| Taylor has not yet been captured. 1t
| is very serious charge and the young
fellows will probably have a good deal
Of trouble before it is settled.-Washing-
| ton Democrat.

/ ity Sunday. About o'clock the serv-
/ ant girl at the home of J. Frank Reeves
| heard a noise, and investigating, found

| When the discovery was made she i'm

report reached his ears. He bounded

| Stat, only to find Charley Walters and
son Arthur coming up the street with a
water works hose. thinking a fire was

| went out in a general search, but didn't
