Chauncev NJ. Depew was candidate
for United States senator IN 1881, but
had to stand back for Warner Miller.
He has had his weather eye on the SEN
ate ever since, but was unable to crafty
his ambition until now. In this case,
at least, the old adage that call things
come to those who have the patience to
wait" has been strikingly verified
A movement has been started in the
senate to bring about an extra session
of the legislature. The law provides
that the legislature shall be in session
81 days, and a. the end of that time the
governor can call a special session to
last 40 days. and during that time he
cannot disband the general assembly,
which can con inue in ession the en-

Yesterday afternoon a scrap, or more
properly, an assault took place in one
of the down town allies. The parties
bore the relation of father and son in
law to each other. The son-in-law

where the disease already prevailed. He
decided to examine the cat and diph-
theric bacilli in large numbers were
found in its throat. 1t was killed.
Ney Stevens went to Goshen and
Auburn today under special instruc-
tions from the board of commissioners,
and will try and gain information con-
corning the investigation of public re-
cords in DeKalb and Elkhsrt counties.
The commissioners have acted wisely
in securing every clew possible as to
what the final outcome of similar III
vestigation in our county would amount
to. With the story of DE Kalbs and
Elkhart's experience held perfectly in
mind they can consider any petitions in
and ineligible light.
This morning a freight train pulled
by two engines was wrecked midway
between the Michigan street viaduct
and the Yellow river bridge. Though
not serious it is but another of large
number of wrecks due to double head
ers. 1t is demonstrated practically that
two engines can not always act in uni
son. 1t would seem more in the light
of reason to divide the heavy train and
place one engine to each section. This
out question, but the present cost in
