PRoBARLE SvIcIpE.-On Frida,
morning last the railroad train from
Evansville, ran over and killed Pau
Schaier a farm hand who had beer
working for Mr.. llopf, about a mile
south of Jasper. Schafcr was 4
kind of a worthless fellow, who had
come to this country from Germany
about two years ago, and was adj
dictcd 10 drinking liquor. When
he felt his whisky he frequently
threatened to kill himself, and at
one time last year laid down on the
T. K. track in front of an incoming
train, with intent TO suicide. The
engineer saw him then in time, and
brakemen Williams got him off the
track. when he broke away from
him and jumped in front of the en-
CINE again. He was then held by
the brakeman till the train passed
Friday he came to Jasper and got
DIR. +. Green To pull. tooth for him,
and then drank some to kill the
pain. lie then started down the
track towards Hopf's where he was
hired to work. He got to the Hopf
trestle. just north IF the farm, and
il is supposed, got between the cross
ties on some old piles that had been
driven there for former trestle.
and left standing when new one
was built. These would enable him
10 hide from the engineer, rs they
Were about ; 'eet below the track.
Engineer Wagner said he thought
he saw something on the trestle.
and looked again. and didn't see il
and had no thought Of any one hid
ing below II, a there was Il little wa
ter underneath. When he got near
" to it. lie discovered there was
moving on it, and applied !
brakes, but the distance was too
short, and the train could not be
stopped till it had passed over the
restlc.
Schafer'> head was severed from
lis boiy, and fell five or six feet in
o the muddy water below. His
light leg was nearly cut of above
he knee, merely hanging by a little
lesh, and his left leg was broken
below the knee. and one arm broken.
he pieces we're gathered up and
aid along side of the track and bv
rider Of the conductor were left
here till Coroner Bigham al rived on
he afternoon train to hold an in
uest, which was conducted by him
hat night and Saturday. His YER
let will be found in another col
mn. The body was buried in the
'atholic grave yard on Saturday.
While the body was lying along .
ide of the r. K. track hundreds of ,
eople went to see it,
Mr.. JOS. Goetz was driving along
ne Huntingburg road, parallel with !
ne r. K. about 100 feet from it. !
hen the train came along, and had !

WASHINGTON AS A POLITICIAN.
Provided . Generous vinOus Feast TO
Voters.

General Gleelv's article in March
Ladies Home Journal upon "The
Personal Side of Washington" will
show that Washington VS. largely

also that he steadily tended toward
the higher standards of the present
age, especially aS regards his habits
and ideals. OF the first election. in
which he actively participated Gen
cral Greedy writes: In his younger
days Washington extended at his
first election the usual post election
hospitality, which, in those DAYS.
consisted in the minimum amount
Of food with the maximum amount
Of spirits. We find him paving an
account for such an entertainment
for some four hundred voters. where
the account wa.' three shilings for
food and thirtv-seven for liquors.
The capacity Of the average drink.r
may, perhaps, te placed at three
quarts at sitting as derived from
this account, which covered one
hogshead Of punch, one barrel Of
punch, forty gallons Of punch, nine
bowls Of punch, forty-fve gallons
Of wine and fo,tyseven gallons Of
beer. Washington, who was not
present, expressed his surprise at
their moderation, and wrote his
agent that he feared he had not
been liberal enough, and expressed
the hope that he had not neglected
those who had voted in the opposi-
ton.
"His reflective mind and acute
observation soon noted the ravages
made by drink. and doubtless con-
lirmcd that personal moderation
which never permitted him to run
into excess Of any kind. In the
Provincial army, when general
charges of drunkenness were made
against the Virginia troops. there
was not word against Washington
personally. He had, moreover,
thus early deplorcd it rs serious
vice. forbade il by stringent orders,
and apple | hundred lashes TO
every man found drunk. Sill later
he wrote that 'Gin-shops served to

nephew he adds, Refrain from
