Some heartless wretch started
the story Saturday morning that the
bond proposition would probably
be voted down, aud that the men on
the private bond to the Company
would probably have to step into
the breach and make the matter
good. The susceptible victims were
more or less affected until they were
assured that the report was gotten
up for effect, when they breathed
easy.
Friday last during the rain the
lightning was unusually sharp, the
equilibrium seeming to be estab
lished between the clouds aud the
earth, rather than between cloud anil
cloud. Lightning struck in the
midst of Win. Ernst's herd of cattle
near Jackson, stunning five or six
head, aud killing one, his best cow.
The horse, upon tho which the herd
er boy was riding, crouched to his
knees, and the boy was considerably
shocked but not hurt. He says that
for awhile he saw no ground or
horse or cattle nothing but fire.

Last Saturday was tho day ap
pointed to vote upon the Columbus
precinct boud proposition, which
has occupied a conspicuous place iu
the past fow numbers of the Jouu-
XAL.
On the morning of election the
Board was organized as follows:
Judges, M. Weaver, John Huber,
1). 1). Wadsworth ; Clerks, J. J. Sul
livan and W. B. Dale.
The election was a very quiet one.
Very few probably, really desired to
see the proposition defeated, aud it
was carried by a very handsome
majority, and had there been a full
canvass aud a full voto the majority
would have been much greater. The
vote stood 337 for the proposition,
20 against it.

Tho Albion train had a number of
passengers, and three car loads of
merchandise, while tho Norfolk
train, along with passengers from
dillerent stations along the line, had
four carloads of hogs.
Everybody was well pleased with
the change from Duncan to Colum
bus, aud we believe that neither the
people aloug the Hue or the Com
pany will regret the change that has
been made.

Mouday morning about 0 o'clock
the city was horrified by the news
that John Lawson had shot himself
at his residence iu the western part
of the city. It proved to be only
too true, aud the unfortunate man
lingered unconscious till a quarter
after eleven, when ho breathed his
last.
He had not been home since Sat
urday last, and his wife and two
daughters had spent the night with
their friend Mrs. Grillin, the grand
mother of the children. Mouday
morning about seven, Carrie, the
oldest daughter, went to Mr. Hill's
for milk, and while there spoke with
her father, who told her they had
better not come home for breakfast,
but eat at their grandmother's.
After breakfast at Mrs. Griffin's the
family went home. They knocked
at the front door, which was locked,
and Carrie called her father. Imme
diately they heard the sound of a
pistol. They then went to a side
door, and entered the house, but
could not get into tho room wheie
the unfortunate man had imprisoned
himself. Calling in one of the neigh
bors, the door wa3 forced opeu, aud
Mr. Lawson was found lying on the
bed, iu the agonies of death, a Colt's
pistol and a razor lying near him.
He, evidently, had deliberately
planned the deed, though we have
failed fo learn of any intimation that
he had it iu contemplation, or any
thing going to show that he ever
before exhibited signs of insanity.
Ho had probably ret u rued home very
late Sunday night or early Mouday
morning, after a night of losses at
the gaming table, excited, remorse
ful, and, brooding over his troubles,
became mad. Letters, writteu evi
dently at this time, to acquaintances
iu the city, reveal his feelings and
his thoughts. In these he says noth
ing of a determination to kill him
self, but of his troubles having
driven him mad. Having provided
himself with two effective instru
ments of death, a Colt's revolver and
a sharp razor, he sat upon the bed,
took the pisto! in his right hand,
held it to his head, and fired the
fatal ball which crashed through the
skull and brain, rendering him un
conscious and causing death, as
before stated.
The letters referred to were dated
May 30th, and directed to J. P.
Becker, C. A. Speice and Capt.
Hammond, containing directions as
to his personal effects, the disposi
tion of his children, Sec. He gives
the names of persons by whom he
lost money at gambling, and tells
where the "dens" were kept, and
where also somo watches may be
fouud that he is supposed to have
pawned for money.
He accuses himself of having been
a bad man, asks his old friends to
foryivc him for his wrong acts in
volving them iu loss, begs of his
children to remember his kindness
to them, aud asks to be buried by
the side of his wife who is dead.
He also says that if the business of
gambling is not stopped in this city
there will be more men go the same
road.
The letters are private properly,
and of their contents we have not
the privilege of publishing more
than appears above.
The deceased was born in Ohio
and was about 3S years old when he
died, lie was in the service during
iug the Rebellion, and, as a member
of Capt. Eagau's company of the
regular army, did duty in the west
ern country, aud is said to have
been a good soldior.
Ho left the service several years
ago, farmed awhile in the western
part of this county, moved to the
city, engaged iu tho sewing machine
business, lost money and was com
pelled to quit business. About two
years ago he lost his wife, and about
one year ago married a very estima
ble lady of Butler county, now his
widow, whose money iu considera
ble quantity he squandered at cards.
Latterly he has been doing no work,
earning nothing, providing nothing
for his family, and ou Saturday last
sold a horse lor .$75, losing probably
all of it,except the (twenty-five ceuts
found ou his person,) at the gaming
table Saturday night, Sunday aud
Sunday night.
It is not known that there was
any taint of insanity in Mr. Law
sou's family, but a frieud suggests
that he was once, while in the ser
vice of his country, injured in the
head and had the operation of tre
panning performed, and that the
wound might have been the cause
of insanity developing now.
Sheriff Spielman, acting as cor
oner, summoned a jury Monday con
sisting of Wm. Burgess.C.II. Young,
H. J. Hudson, J. Kickly, M. Schram,
jr., and II. Hughes, who rendered a
verdict that the deceased had died
by his own hand.
The funeral took place yesterday
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the
Congregational church, -Rev. E. L.
Sherman officiating.
The deceased leaves a widow, and
two children by his first wife, daugh
ters Carrie and Annie, aged, res
pectively, 12" and 7.

Just after noon on Friday, during
the storm, a flash of lightning struck
the east chimney of the Clother
House, splitting it dowu to (he third
floor, bursting off shingles, aud
playing havoc generally. The cur
rent followed the tin along the
gutter of the roof and dowu the
water-spout to the east side of the
kitchen, entering the ground at that
point. Another current seemed to
follow the tin roof of the kitch
en, pass down the pipe to the stove,
shatteiing tho west lid of the reser
voir, then glancing to the eastward,
aud entering the eath through the
floor by the foot of tho stove. Two
of the kitchen girls were shocked,
one of them very severely. She was
sitting within a foot of where the
current must have passed.
John G. Mickey, Mr. and Mrs.
Theodore Bccbc and son, of Osceola,
were iu the parlor at the time, and
all were more or less hurt. Mr.
Beebe was thrown face dowu on the
floor from the lounge. Mrs. B. was
partially paralyzed, the boy aud Mr.
Mickey wcro shocked, Mr. M's hear
ing being alfectcd quite a while.
Somo fifteen guests wcro in the
billiard room, aud knew nothing of
what had happened in the other cud
of the building until word was
brought from the outside.
The fire bell was rung immediate
ly, and everybody responded to the
call, but their services were not
needed.
Perhaps a hundred dollars would
repair all damages.
There being some eighty persons
iu the building at the time, it is a
wonder more of them were not hurt.
The house had no lightning rods.
C. D. Clother thinks that tin is an
excellent conductor, and believes
that a house with a good tin roof
and spouting would be safe from
lightning iu a storm.

parties present, and after the ceremony
the happy pair were followed to the res
ideiicc of the bride's parents, where
they partook of a boiintiiul and sumptu
ous" repast, prepared to celebrate the
joyous event.
'Ti with great pleasure I give you my
speech.
For my subject I know will be welcome
to each:
It relates to an act which is frequently
done,
That of turning two fond loving hearts
into oue.
We've been favored this day with that
beautiful sight,
And have witnessed the scene with the
greatest delight;
1 refer to the marriage which took place
today
ltetueeu Kichard L. Itossiter and Alice
31eCatl'rey.
From tho time of our ancestors, Adam
ami Kve,
IIae these acts in all ages been known,
1 believe.
Aud while ladies aud gentlemen single
are found,
.Matrimonial engagements will always
abound.
They are sanctioned by Ciod, disapprov
ed of b none,
And at Cana our Savior was present at
one.
And 1 hope the same blessing he asked
on them there,
He will also bestow on thi new mar
ried pair.
From the queen on the throne to the
peasant iu cot,
We have proof married life is the hap
piest lot;
There are special engagements both iu
doors ami out
AVhieh all unmarried people know noth
ing about.
Friends may feci great concern for their
sorrows'and cares,
Hut all these to a wife's no compailson
bears;
Curtain lectures, 'tis true, we may get
now and then,
Still the married are always the hap
piest of men.
Mr. Rossiter must feel himself proud as
he should.
In obtaining a lady so fair and o good;
All will praise her indeed, aud we
know she will share
Not his good name alone, but his love
and his care.
If they wish to be happy together, as
now,
From this day may they always remem
ber their "vow;
May they honor ami cherish and love
and obey,
As they promised to do at the altar
to.day.
Iu this life may they dwell together iu
love;
In the next join the hosts of the ran
somed above,
And throughout all eternity there may
they shine
As bright stars in the crown of the
Savior divine.
