Sunday afternoon about 5 o'clock there was a sensational shooting at the McDonald saloon, at 288 Calhoun street.

The proposed lailroad between this city and Indianapolis, by way of Noblesvillej Elwood, Muncie, Hartford'City and Bluffton, is being pushed as rapidly as possible according to S. E. Rauh, one of the chief piomoters. While the road will be built as a steam lailway, several portions of it will be equipped for electric cais. Most of the work at piesent consists of securing deshable poitions of the right of way, and Mr.

Rauh said yesterday at Indianapolis, that the company had secured a laige propoition of the icadway extending out fiom that city. Little has been done on the Foi Wayne end of the line. It is expected that the road will cost about $15,000 a mile and llicic will be no attempt to "finance'' it in the way the piomoteis of most lail- loads do. The diflcrent townships tluough which it will pass will be asked to giant subsidies, but in any event the load will be built by the capital ol the men interested in it, and not by the assistance of outside financier. Active woik on the constiaction will not be begun until all have been made for lights of way, at which time tlic lorfd will be built for itb cntiie length at once, instead of in sections.

Coroner Williams, of Columbia City, etiuned a verdict to-day on'the death of Otto- Cummings. It will be remembered that a great deal of talk was occasioned by the fact that young Cummings, who was sent here for treatment, had to be ariested and while in custody of the police icceived a fracture of the skull which resulted in his death.

The police that the fracture was caused by a fall sustained by Cummings in the cell, while the relatives of the young man asserted that his injuries were the result of a clubbing he received from the policemen.

C. Stemen. It was during the Boer war. I was then staying at the Masonic hotel iu tiloemfouteu, capital of the Orange Free State. I was taking au opera company through South Africa.

On the moruiug Of the memorable evening I had obtained permission from President Brandt to borrow the Orange Free State drum for a stage accessory from the fort of the nil! above Bloeuifonteln. As I marched with my drum down the main' street that faces the archway leading into the Masonic hotel I saw a bullock wagon rolllug slowly along ahead of me. That bullock wagon contained the Immortal triumvirate--Oom Paul Kruger, Joubert and Pretorius, the heads of the Boer government. They had down from the Transvaal to ask President Brandt to throw the Orange Free State Into the war and give the Transvaal its assistance. I watched those three men go up to the White House, the residence of President Brandt, and I watched them as they turned sorrowfully away with bowed heads.

President Brandt had refused to seo them. After depositing my drum in the Masonic hotel I came out again upon the maiii street. I was suddenly accosted by a young Englishman, who said, with great excitement: "See here, old man, you're with us, are you not?" I had been away from America for six years and bad lost my American accent. The young Britisher took me for an Englishman and went ou hurriedly, "If we succeed, our names will be handed down to history." Very naturally I asked, "What's np, old clmp?" He said: "A hundred of Englishmen Intend to kidnap the triumvirate tonight. They have uow gone to the Orange Free State hotel for dinner.

They retuiu to the Transvaal tonight. You know that only a bridge over the Oiange river separates the Orange Free State from the Transvaal. It is only a shoit distance Into Griqualand West, which' is British We have agreed to meet the triumvirate at a bend of the road at 11 o'clock tonight and carry them into Griqualand West. Do you see? That will end the Boer war." Putting up my hand, I said: "Stop! 1 am au American. These people are only doing what my ancestors did.

Wbat you have told me so far is sacred. What you tell me further I do not pledge myself to keep." The fellow left me Immediately. Now, did you ev er hear of beating the devil around the stump? How was 1 to save tho triumvirate? I bad pledged iny word to the Englishman. I must save the triumvirate. It has often becu a question with me whether 1 offended against the higher ethics by my circumvention of the truth.

After some desultory conversation I asked Oom Paul carelessly at what time they intended to start for home that night He said, "At about 10:30." I felt my heart in my throat. But I said quite nonchalantly, though I am sure uiy eyes, fastening his own, said more: "I would go back, uncle, as soon as possible. Your mission to President Brandt has failed." Oom Paul Kruger looked at me from beneath the shaggy eyebrows that like watchdogs guard the lights of statecraft vvithlii bis old eyes, and he said very slowly: "How do you know?" And 1 said. "I know many things, uncle, because I am an American and because both my heart and brain are interested in your Transvaal war.

1 kuow that your mission has been a failure. I believe that you have nothing to gain by staying longer here tonight, possibly much to lose." My eyes talked to Oom Paul across the dinner table. Oom Paul broke the silence: "Have you any reason for our going earlier?" I answered "No," and then I snid pointedly: "It is safer to trek in tbf- moonlight than in the darkness. The moon rises full tonight, uncle, at 7 o'clock," Oom Paul turned to me, and his words fell like the blows of a sledge hammer: "It rises at 11 o'clock. Am I wrong In this surmise?" There was a dead silence.

The three men spoke together In Dutch. Oora Paul said, "We will leave at 10 o'clock, as first intended."
