rreM Ux Dally Tour i There plenty of work for sheriff aad detective, tlnoe tba wboloeale thieving exploit of a smooth rogue, la Union towmblp, last night L. Chanay't larf a ipaa of gray mares, aged five and tight year, a set of double work harness, a tet of light doubla carriage barnaM aud a new net of ling la buggy harness, all disappeared from hit barn noma Use during tht 1 ight John Young, of tba tamt neighborhood, loot a flat carriage to whloh the thief or thieve no doubt hitched Mr. Cheney' gray team. Not aatUfled with the carriage alone, the granery waa visited, where the aide curtain were kept, and theae were all secured. But atrange to lay, the hind eat of the carriage wa not taken, the rear part of the vehicle evidently having been needed for the storing of booty and baggage.

Cheney and Young are not the only victims of the extensive eelaure ef valuable plunder In Union township the aame night, but eta of harneaa and parta of harneaa were aecured at varloua placet In the neighborhood. Seth Wolf waa robbed of a double tet of harneaa and a pair of horse blanketa. It la alao reported that Jonathan Hosier, William Hosier and Harry Ease each loat harneaa. Jacob Haney waa not ovelooked and he le mlnut tome fine lap robot. The parties interested were (a the city early thlt morning to aend out messages in all direction in the hope effeotlng tha capture of thethief 'and the return of the property.

Mr. Chaney 1 the ex county commissioner and hit lost it in the neighborhood of 250, a considerable cum to be robbed Of at One time. He informed the He ald reporter that the work waa done so quietly that no one waa aware of it until barnt were visited this morning at chore time. Whea word passed around that Chaney' fine team and all hit harness were stolen, ethers looked through their sheds and barns to see whether they were losers too. Mr.

Chaney taye he don't know why he feels eo, but he oaa't help but feel that aDy attempt to over take the thief will be unsuccessful and that the missing team, carriage and harness will never be found. Others, 'however, are of the opinion that the gray team would attract attention everywhere and could be easily traced through, the neighborhood, in which case tidings ot the thief should be re oelved quite soon. There is every reason to believe that the culprit it some one not only well acquainted la the neighborhood but familiar with promisee and building. Otherwise, how would he know where to look for the eurtaina belonging to John Young' carriage The whole neighborhood it aroused! aad anxious to hear tidings that will lead to the arrest of the bold scoundrel who lid the Wordiiaa been reoeived from Raber, Whitley county, stating that a gray team and carriage filling the description of the onea stolen, were teen to pass through that place early thla morning. There Is a strong belief that tilt is a clue to the course taken by the thief.

No tidings of the stolen team and carriage have been reoeived that can be considered Important or that will serve aa a reliable due. Mr. Chaney ays he hat no hopea of hearing anything from the missing property. Mr. Young made the remark that while he didn't wish to accuse any one until he knew him guilty, there was only one 'man outside of the family I who knew the tide curtains to the carriage were kept in the granery.

He it the man who la no longer in the neighborhood and the probabiltiet are he secured a partner in tbe deal, one who knew exactly how to proceed. The thlevea may steer clear of towns aad 'cities, In which ease It will be difficult for officer to get on their trail. Oae of the hone had never been Railway Items.

Peru Journal: Engine No. 61, whloh was in the Newton wreck, is on a elding at the Wabash shops and it about as completely a pieoe of machinery as could be found. The Chloago Erie express train must evidently have hit the 61 with terrific force judging from its appearance. The 61 has its pilot and front truck off, the cab demolished, the jacket wrenched loose, the driver that got the principal ehoclc was badly broken and almost off Its rim, and all the email parts broken up. The tank was also badly broken up.

It Is hard to understand bow the crew escaped when the engine was so much destroyed. RULING AGAINST THE WABASH. Peru Chronicle: The muoh lltigat ed Eel River railway case was before the circuit court of Howard county, Judge Mount presiding, on a plea in abatement. The court ruled that the suit brought by prosecutor! Hale, of Cass county, against the Wa bash railway company, for the forfeiture of tbe Eel Elver company's charter, was properly brought in Cass county and that the court had jurlsdlo The The tlon. case will now be brought up" for trial on its merits at the first term of the superior court of Grant and.

Howard, the attorneys having agreed to its transfer to that tribunal. The case hat been in court about five yean and may not reach a de cision in the next five. hue others tnougnt they should be sixteen Inches. The matter of annexing the territory known at the Shoe Factory addition, Wright's sub division, J. Miller's subdivision, Wright Amiss' sub division and Mary Gephart'a sub division to tbe city was tbe next matter considered.

Resolutions adopting the description of the land were read. Dlmond thought the council was a little hasty in taking In the additions. He said the cost of street and alley improvements would be more than the amount of revenue received in taxes and that there would be no gain by placing the property on the tax duplicate. Mr. Weber thought that if the people residing in these additions were given the advantages of the olty school and fire protection they should help to pay for them.

He, for one, was In favor of annexing the additions or else quit building school houses. Mr. Wright said there was no comparison of the amount ex pended in improvements as to the amount received in taxea. The amount placed on tbe tax duplicate would fir overreach the amount expended. When the matter was put to a vote, Dlmond voted In the negative, and the rest of the council in the affirmative.

J. he resolution was passed. Chris Allmaa was present in the Interest of the JFirBtstreet improve ment He said the property owners were anxious that work be commenced aa soon as possible. No action.

Around the chancel was a row of gorgeous plants rich in bloom and foliage.

The parlor mantel was bright with roses and carnations, while deftly arranged ferna and flowers gracefully brightened the archway between the parlor and auditorium. The reception will no doubt remain bright in the recollection of the be loved pastor and his family, and will call to mind associations of the paat which time cannot blot out The family left the city thlt morning on the Wabash 8 o'clock train and many were ht the depot to tee them off.

So Bright It Knocked Things Into Chaos. Toblae a Concle'e Photograph Gallery the Scene of a Loud Explosion. There wa a dash light tipoure made at the Tobias St Concle gallery. at Sid Eby's old atand.tast eight, which will hardly develop Into a first class picture.

Tbe reason for such a doubt la the fact that whea the flash went off tbe subject moved. Every thing In the gallery moved just at the critical moment when the slightest vibration ould be Injurious to tba negative. When the flash light powder waa Ignited there waa a boom like tbe let ting off of a forty pound gun and the very building trembled. The report wat beard down on tbe atreet and In varlou business room and office tome distance away. People visited tbe studio and found tbat Edward Tobias, Norman Concle and bad been blown almost Into the middle of next Christ ma, The camera wa knocked end: wise, furniture waa turned upside down, a piece of sheet Iron was blown into the woodwork of the room until it stuck fast, and the inmate were trying to get through their, mind wjiat had happened that made them stand on their heada for the instant One of the trio, who was posing for a picture, la said to have gone backwards over his chair and almost peeled off tbe wall plastering when he struck It The operator used a rubber tube to set off the flash and when he aqueezed the bulb, aomething came up and smote him on the brow and made his face black.

When he opened his eyes, the room was filled with smoke and darkness. Each victim wondered whether the other was alive and whether the building was still Trades Barney the Equipments Hoag, for Land. stand ing. fire made Its appearance in the carpet and this added to the con sternation, but prompt action by the stunned victims soon placed the threatening flames under control. It seems that tbe cause of the explosion was hard to account for until It was learned that the kind of flash light powder in this case was of the variety which should not be used In a photographer's lamp and was not the kind of powderthatMrToblaal waa accustomed to using.

When the smoke cleared away and things were put to rights, it was found that no serious damage was done and the whole thing was looked upon as quite laughable Byron Emley, wbo was about to have his picture taken, prefers sunlight to flash light and will consent to no mor sittings at night. CAMERON'S LIVER Yt to Next Monday there will be a change of proprietors at Newton Cameron's livery barn, on Warren street Barney Hoag, of RockCreek has traded fifty acres of land for the livery stock and will take possession on the day mentioned.

There have been many entertaining papers read before the Cosmopolitan Club, but none more so than the one Wednesday evening by Judge Wat kins at the elegant home of Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Zent on East Franklin atreet.

Commodloue aa thla home lav the roomswerecrowdedwltb the ln vlted guests, and every mark of appreciation waa exhibited. Tbe subject of tbe paper waa "Alexander Hamilton." It waa a historical study of the great event in which this great American took part rather than a biography, and a clean cut exposition of his work as a statesmen in the critical period following the Revolution. One of Its principal objects was to refute the oft repeated charge that Hamilton was an aristocrat and a monarchist at heart, and the proof submitted wa unimpeachable tbat Hamilton bent hla whole energies to framing a Constitution the fundamental principles of which were the right of suffrage and opposition to nobility. The Federal Constitution was the work of Hamilton, Washlugt(u, Sbavliaoh and Franklin. and they had sought to make the Gov ernment aa strong as a monarchy and as tree as a Kopuoiio.

me pmrut picture of the Continental Congress, driven from Its hall by a mob, was the culmination of tbe doctrine of State's Rights In practice, while tbe picture of tbe Grand Review of the Union Veterans when tbe War of Rebellion closed, in Washington City, in 1865. was the realization of strong central government such, at Hamilton bad desired and advocated. Hamilton was nearer to Abraham Lincoln In his ldeas of the powers ind objects of cur government than any other man. In our history. Hamilton was a surprisingly great man, a myriad minded man, the real author of tbe Constitution, tbe embodiment of the doctrine of honest money, and as the years go by W8jlfleJtatesmanship JaJ)etter UD derstood and better appreciated by tho people of the Republic.

Necessarily, the paper contrasted' the publlo services of Hamilton and. Jefferson, and at they were antagonists in life, ao there waa muoh antagonism In their histories. Both were great, but Hamilton had lelt the impress of his genius upon our institutions aa an enduring monument and the Constitu tion as It is now is more in accordance, with Hamilton's than Jefferson's viewsw No debate in the Club has been better sustained than the one whicb followed the reading of this paper. It wat participated in by Messrs. Brany an Hamilton, Lesb, Spencer, Carson and Crull.

Brief remarks were also made by one or two others, and the subject was considered from, almost every conceivable standpoint. Tbe Club will meet with Dr. and Mrs. Chafee on Tuesday evening, April 6th, at the rooms of the Business University. "Tbe Slek Man of Europe" will be the subject of a paper by Dr.
