STARTLING SUICIDE.

John Harp of Bourbon Drinks Two
Ounces of Carbolic Acid.
Bourbon was startled Monday after.
noon by the suicide of John Harp, one
of its citizens. Mr.. Harp chose sure
but by no means an easy instrument of
death. Two ounces of carbolic acid
was the weapon of self destruction and
of course caused intense agony before
pain vanished in the Oblivion of death.
No reason is made public for the act
He was employed in the ditch which
was being dug to extend the water
works and had worked steadily through
out the morning. At noon he ate a
hearty dinner aud went up town. Re
turning he met his wife directly
across the street from their residence.
He produced the phial and holding
in plain view addressed her, saying,
among other things, that in six hours
he would be in eternity. Before he
could be prevented from drinking the
poison he had done so, and NJ help
proved sufficient to call back the fleet

Those Who Have Bills Against the City
Should Bear This in Mind.
A new law was passed by the last
legislature regulating the allowance
and payment of claims against cities or
towns In the state of Indiana and this
law is now fully in effect. The law
makes it unlawful for any board of
trustees or common council or any
member thereof to make any allowance
except at regular or special session of
said trustees or common council and it
shall be unlawful for any clerk to issue
warrant to any person except the
same has been ordered and allowed as
above stated. 1t also stipulates that all
claims must be filed with the city clerk
and sworn to five days previous to a
meeting of the council. The clerk shall,
at the expense of the city, keep claim
docket, stating the name of claimant,
the amount claimed and, in general
terms, for what claimed and the date of
the fling thereof. Said docket is to be
open at all times to inspection of citi-
zens a fine of not less than $50 is the
penal clause attached for any violation
of its provisions.

Since the departure of Will Leonard

make him popular ID react in a man

the office. He first came here several
years ago and was in the employ of
the Bicycle works. Having established
his reputation for integrity and ster-
ling business requisites, he was enabled
to secure the position of driver for the
U. S. Express company. That he
proved entirely satisfactory and worthy
of promotion is evinced in the fact that
the company has made him agent. For
the present he will hold the position
without assistance III the way of a
driver, but when business picks up he
expects to employ other help.

TOWNSHIP TRUSTEES.
Duties of These Officers Under the New
Reform Law

Duties of These Officers Under the New
Reform Law
Attorney General Taylor has received
inquiries as to the duties of the town
ship trustee under the new reform law
The directions given by him are as fol-
lows:
1. Township trustees should report
to the board of county commissioners
all of their doings up to the 2Sth day of
April, 1899, when the acts of 1899 went
into effect.
2. From the 20th day of April, 1899,
township trustees should report all their
acts and doings to the township advis-
ory board at its annual meeting, OF the
first Tuesday in September next.
3. The act of 1897, providing for re.
porting to the board of county commits
sioners was specifically repealed by the
reform bill of 1899.
4. From the 26th day of April, 1899,
all estimates, contracts, expenditures
AMI reports of township trustees are
governed by the acts of 1899.
3. Since the first annual meeting of
the township advisory boards does not
convene until the first Tuesday in Sep
tember, the provisions concerning esti-
mates to be made are not applicable to
township trustees between the taking
effect of said law and the first Tuesday
in September, 1899. While this is true,
still the township trustees must, on the
first Tuesday in September next, report
to such township advisory boards re-
spectively, all contracts made and ex-
penditures incurred, and these will be
subject to the approval of such advisory
boards at their meeting on the first
Tuesday of next September.

evidence of severe pain. The lady
hastily went to his assistance and pre-.
vented him from falling heavily upon
the floor. Seeing however, that he was
overcome. she ran to the street where
she summoned several bystanders. DIR.
Wilson was called in haste, but he
found himself powerless to act against
the chill of death which was already
passing passing over the body. Every
effort to revive proved fruitless and
even consciousness did not return. The
allment was undoubtedly apoplexy, the
same which took his younger brother
Amos off, several years ago.
Chauncy was the son of Joseph Mead
and his whole life has been identified
with this city. For years he has been
faithful employee of Ed. s. Hogarth
and was remarkable for his amiability,
honesty and perseverance. He had al
ways pleasant word and a bright,
genial smile. Others, besides his rela-
tives and near friends, will miss him
long after the temporary excitement of
his death is subdued.
A wife and one child survive him.
He carried no life insurance.
The funeral will be conducted at the
U. b. church this afternoon at
2:3O. 1t is probable that Rev. Lands
of Rochester will ofliciate as Rev. De.

RICHLAND BANK ROBBERY SOLVED.

"Larr'' Russell Turns states Evidence,
duplicating Slater. Allison and Others
The Richland bank robbery case is
practically solved "Larr" Russell, at
the trial in South Bend Tuesday, con-
fessed and Implicated Allison, Harring
ton, Slater, Spellman and Thomas
Black. 1t will be remembered that
efforts were made last fall to secure
Slater's escape by playing upon the
credulity of Prosecutor Lauer, of this
city, without success.
The confession is as follows: Rus
cell was put on the stand and testified
that he met the gang on Aug. 2 at
Mlshawaka, and that all went from
there to Elkhart. He said that from
Elkhart they went to South Bend, and
later to Stillweil, Ind, station west of
South Bend, on the Chicago & Grand
Trunk railway. He further stated
that on the afternoon of Aug. they
went to Battle Creek. Russell told the
story of their breaking into black
smith shop In Battle Creek and secur-
ing tools and related an account of
their trip to Richland. He said that
the powder which they used on the
bank in Richland was procured in Bat
tie Creek. Continuing, Russell made
the sensational confession that when
they arrived at the bank in Richland
Slater and he broke open the front door
and that Slater and Spellman took a
rowbar into the vault while Allison
remained near by on the outside.
81 remained at the door," said Rus
sell, "while Little Joe Harrington
stood outside and Whitley remained
near by. There were four explosions
of nitro glycerine used. We secured
about $1,000, Of which my share was
$500. We all arrived in South Bend
on the following Saturday"
On cross-examination Russell ad-
mitted that he had been ia Jail and in
prison many times. 1t was brought
out that he had an ali.round bad record.
He turned states evidence because he
thought Slater would become a wit
ness. For turning states evidence the
prosecution promised that the case
against him would be nolle pressed.

Winter Wheat.

The winter wheat crop of this year
throughout the middle west will not be
heavy one, estimated upon its present
cond tion. The warm weather of the
last few days has caused vegetation 10
make rapid progress, and the farmer
has been able to tell at last whether OF
not his fields suffered during the ex-
treme cold Of the winter. In many of
the middle western states damage by
freezing has been immense. Illinois
reports the crop as almost entirely
killed and the fields plowed up and de-
voted to other uses. Wisconsin and
Iowa Jared little better. Nebraskas g
shortage in the winter variety will be
supplied by very heavy acreage of
spring wheat. Indiana reports some
favorable localities, while Michigan
shows an average crop. Ohio's yield
promises to surpass that of any of the
states mentioned.
The yield in Marshall county will fall
far below the average. The most san
guine prediction is that there will be
seyenty-flve per cent of an average
crop. Those who have given the mat
ter careful consideration, however, de-
clare that there will be little more than
fifty per cent of an average yield. 1t is
estimated that the average per acre of
all wheat sown in Marshall county will
not be more than twelve bushels.
Much las been plowed for corn and
hundreds of acres have been so badly
damaged that it will hardly pay to
harvest the grain.

cLYDEs MAY GO TO BRUNSWICK.
The Port Has a Lively War of Tow
boat Companies in store.

Brunswick, Ga, Aug. 17.-Reliable in
formation has reached Brunswick that the
Clyde line of steamers is to be increased
between this port and the North and East
during the coming season. The informa-
ton is to the effect that the promise Of
developments in the coastwise trade Is
so great that the Clydes will put four
steamships on the run, and will probably
make an occasional run as far south as
Jacksonville.
The towboat war on the Brunswick bar
is now on in earnest, and by a deal en-
tered into to-day the Darien and Sapelo
Tow boat Company has placed its fast boat
Dandy in local waters to fight for tonnage
with the South Atlantic Towboat Com
pany's fleet against the Jacksonville boats
that have been here for some weeks. There
is an inside tip given also that the tug
Dauntless will probably soon join the To-
cal combination, and If she sticks her
nose in the fight it will be warm one.
The toWboat war is not the only one
on the Brunswick bar, as there is di-
vision amongst the pilots and between
these two wars there is much activity in
local marine circles.
