Carlisle in the chair, and all members present except Worley and Tar bet. Councilman Hyde offered the opening prayer. Up-the reading and approving of the miuuieaofath previous session, a three months renewal of their liquor license was granted the City Drug Co. The special elections comrnitee reported, aud recommended as follows: That a permanent committee of three be appointed as a committee on elections, whose duty it shall be to instruct the proper officers in all election details. It was suggested further thakthe commit? tee furnish the Council with the names of persons who could be appointed to segregate the registry list' and furnish information lists to the judges of election. It was also recommended that twenty-fiv- e dollars be appropriated to purchase from the county a one-ha- lf interest in the booths and ballot boxes, which must be used in the coming election. The report was accepted and the recommendation adopted. The Marshal reported ' that in obedience to the Council he had investigated- the -- matter-of people building their outhouses and corrals so near running streams as to befoul the water, and recommended that a new ordinance be passed which would cove? the various conditions he bad found existing. The report was accepted and the matter referred to the committee on ordinances, for action. Resolutions were then passed, approving the lease of certain tity property to A. H. Palmer, Thomas Worley, and C. D. W. Fullmer. Prest. Carlisle then named as the committee on elections, Coun cilmen W. C. Cates, V. N. Thomas, and Joseph Tarbet.

' . . . "The Council then adjourned wilb prayer by Hansen, . - more emphatic and, perisisteni than the man in the Fifth, who thinks that the city will go-4- o ruin unless the Dewociatio ticket is elected with John T. Caine Jr., at its head,.- - Nr V Kimball, the present Mayor, W. C. Cates and Lyman Martineau; are also frequently mentioned as possible candidates for the position.. As to the Marshalship, Philip Evans, Aaron Thatcher, Geo McCulloch, Gee. Adams. Thomas Lewie, Vic Crockett and Henry G. Hayball aro all reckoned lathe eiwm. As to the offices of Auditor and Recorder, some are of the opinion that these offices will bo filled by members of the geutler sex, although no names have been mentioned. The present incumbents have many friends, and bciore the convention meets many others may be in the field. Certain it is, that the Auditorsbip will be worth less than at present. Tho Attorneyship lies between J. Z. Stewart Jrrsnff iEKeeler. Candidates far City Justice aud Treasurer are not very plentiful as yet, but very little being said about those offices. As to the coutscilmenpJiPtbe First, W. N. Thomas and Jos. Wilson are considered strong probabilities among the street talkers. Some suggest that Moses Tnatcher Jr. and Joe. Qninney will be the proper meu for the Denis, to put up in the Second when theyjmeet. Others insist that Wm. Edwards and II. G. Haybali are the proper -- men for that precinct. In the Third, people are talking about J. R. Edwards, Robert Davidson, William Evans and Morgan S. Evans, ai d it bard to pick the favorite. . Cates of tho Fourth seems to stand 'a pretty good chance of while, his are constituents cogitating ever the names of John Da hie, Andrew Eli&son and C. B. Robbins, as possible colleagues. In the Fifth it is a free for all, although quite a number of names have, been suggested. Tne names of N, S, Hausen, Wm. Hyde, Alvin Crockett, C. L. Olsen, N. M. Ilansen and Ephraim Jensen, are some of those mentioned in this connection, by their friends. Of course, this is all street talk and but very little reliance can be placed upon it as indicating the probable Democratic nominees. The Journal publishes it as matter of news, for the benefit of those who havent time to make np political tickets, and trot their friends forward for public consideration. The Republicans havent done much talking as yet, although Orson Smiths name has been mentioned quite frequently of late, in connection with the Mayoralty nomination. The Republican choice for Marshal seems to lie between Ras Cole and Chas. Ivallstrom, while J. C. Walters will undoubtedly be their candidate for Attorney. Ferdinand Jacobsen is 6aid to have his eye on the Justices nomination, and if E. R. Nielsen doesnt get the Auditors nomination, it wont be because he isnt willing to hustle, and to bid low enou gho a t ba sal t ry ToTIfTT t is reported that David Beach is also willing to make a pretty low - bid on the Marsbalship.

LouisviUe, Ky., Sept. 15.A special to the Post from Osgood, ! Ind.v8ays: Incmsed by numerous depredations, repeated burglaries and daylight robberies, the people of Ripley county;' Irtd.V have taken utfie Taw into their own hands and meted out to the perpetrators a punish-roe- ut gnater than provided by law. Five men who. have long been tothe citizens of this county, met their death atthe bands of "aCo"' enraged populace. When the citizens of Versailles, the county seat, arose this morning they found 'the bodies of five men dangling from as many ltmb3of an'elm'tree in " the center of the public square. Stout ropes not over six fret in ieqgth bad served to send the men to their destiny. Their feet were but a few inches from the ground whiletheirhaod3and feet- - had- been securely pinioned with strong ;a-ter- ropes. . . x Versailles is a town of some 1800 people. It is ooe of the oldest in the state, and although it is five miles from a lailroad station and bus no telegraphic communication with tho outaide-world- ; as have more pretentious towns of 3the county, it is still the county seat. : For four or five years, and even longer, the farmers of the connty have been the victims of a lawless gang, who, apparently lacking in fear, have plied their vocation to the terror, of the people, for they seemingly have had.no visible means of earning a living. Farmer would come into town with a bunch of cattle or a load of farming products and the next morning they would be found along the roadside suffering from a wound and minus the proceeds of their sale. Old German .farmers , have been visited ancLboth men and wo- -, ' men have been subjected to atktbe tortures that a hardened 'man could stand. Aged German wo-- : men have been forced to stand up-on & red hot stove in an effort to ; compel them to disclose the hiding place of. the ireasnre in tho house. These depredations hhve been con-- . tinued unceasingly. .Arrests have; been made, but the guilty parties had covered up their lawlessness and it was seldom that jcoovictioaj . -- followed arrest. , . . During the past week . robberies had. increased alarmingly. Last Saturday word was received bythe sheriff that the store of Woolley . Bros., at Corrects Ind, ten' miles from here, was to be entered. , (The information was given by one of . the gangs confederates who had Sheriff been, under suspicion. Henry Bushing arranged that his ; informant should accompany them, and securing .five deputies .they ? went to the place,. Sheriff Bushing concealed himself in j. the cellar i while his. deputies were stationed ; at a convenient place outside. Shortly after midnight the gang reached W oolley Bros store. Clif-ford Gordon and the sheriffs informant were, designated to break into the building. Gordon him- - T -- , i . . X7 ' I ror , ! |
