Visitors from all parts of the county repaired at anearly hour to the scene of the tragedy, and knots of men assembled in ail di-reetions and t he awful crime was the sole theme of conversation. The members of the two im fort on ate families were wild with grief and expressions of sym-puthy for them were common remarks. The wildest threats against the remaining Keyes were frequently made, end they wisely refrained from making an appearance or mingling in the excited crowds. Their disgraceful careers were condemned and supreme contempt and positive hatred for Alex, Mont aud John were freely expressed. Tt appeared to bo a very disagreeable locality for the male members of the disreputable gang, while the other victims of their malice and pusillanimity were extended the widest sympathy. The8CKNK OK THE MURDER Is at the southwest corner of the two principal streets, at a restaurant run by Frank Trick, situated upon a lot occupied by Stewart. His residence is at the north end of the lot, facing north, his place of business at the south end, facing east. Keyes lives two blocks further south, on the west side of the street. Frank Moss, who louned Alex the revolver, lives one square oast, on the east side of the street. F.ikenherry, whose evidence so alarmed the attorneys for the defense, lives between Keyes’ residence and Stewart's, on the same side of the street. The excitement was much greater than that occasioned by the Ashha-Thomas murder, which occurred a mile south, three andone-half years ago, and has taken a deep hold upou the public mind.A YOUNG TOUGH.Fremont Keyes, a son of John, who was a defendant in the Llttle-Keyea uuto greeting, | bastardy suit this spring, has figured inMonday, Mr. Quluu and his sons were coining along the road, widen hounds Ids fields, aud jHissed Shirur’s house*. Miss Susanna)) Hhlrar accused the Quinns of killing her chickens. The latter advised her to keep the chickeus out of his field. Hot words ensued and, according to the evidence produced at the subsequent trial, at which the matter was ventilated, Miss Hliirar called young Quinn a hard name and requested hiui to assume a position of intimacywith n certain portion of her anatomy — a proceeding com promising his dignity in a manner which ho promptly resented by striking her in the side and kic king her, One of the Quinns had a shovel, another one of the parties had a pitchfork, while a third was freighted with a few nigger-heads and tho whole surroundings were pregnant with war and visions of war, hut nothing more serious occurred. On Tuesday, the Shirars had ouo of tho Quinn boys arrested and brought before Justice Leonard, VV. C. Hmlth represented the State, while the senior Quinn fired a fusilade of interrogatories at the prosecuting witnesses, to which promptand pointed answers were aarcastieal ly returned.

I mmediately after the shooting on Sunday, this individual repaired to the residence of his Undo Cleon and met Mrs. Thomas there. He at once set upou her with a tirade of personal abuse and vituperation, cursing her ami exhausting ids vocabulary of obscenity. If was the proceeding of a ruitlftii and a blackguard, and should be met by prompt and appropriate resentment. On Monday evening ho and Miss Flora weremnr-Telephone Talk, ♦ •V'-» TIA telephone line connecting this city with Lafayette has been erected, hut os the company came quietly intotowu and began putting up their poles aud stringing their wires indiscriminately and without permission of either the city authorities or the property owners, there was a little kick made, and Mayor Gresham notified the men to desist from further operations until tho proper permission had been acquired. As the company's Superintendent is located at some other point, and as it required some little time for his subordinates to notify him of tho Mayor’s action, it will probably bo a few days yet before the line is completed.The Superin tedent of the other line —tho one from this city to Logansport, was in the city on Tuesday and in a consultation over the matter with the Mayor, who explained to him the reason for his action, tho telephone man stated that he would not think of entering the city limits without permission. lie said lie would have the line up to this city in about ten days.

In many instances Its report of the testimony is Incorrect, one of the attorneys calling our attention to one particularly grievous error. 'i!In its report of the Hen Peek difficulty it makes an absurd mistake by crediting the remark that precipitated tho racket, to Consadine when it was made by Dr. Isxip and directed to Consadine. It also says that Dr. Loop “refused to bo arrested without a warrant,’’ when the fact is that ut that time not a warrant hut atubpoena had been Issued for the doctor, aud ho having come to this city, could not be found by the Constable. Other absurdities of a similar characterMbhNn »» a t ■ ^Its write-up of the Bieseeker-Stout affair is apparently blind guess work. We give it in its entirety :A BbootiogU'ry occurred ai ('ollmru on Saturday night last, at a tlamv, Frank Stout ilrlug at one Jod Bicsecker for being too intimate with Stout’s wife. It* gutting tlaagiroiift to t»o w»fti iu this part of flooxiertlaom.With the exception of the last sentence, this is wrong in every particular. There was no shooting tiff ray; Stout didn’t fire at Bieeecker; there was no charge of intimacy between Bieeecker ami Stout's wife aud Stout hasn’t any wife. With these trilling exceptions theJournal’s report of the trouble is correct* It might prove a good kick for the Journal to change its publication day until Saturday aud borrow our tyjie.Keep Your Eyes Open.Ou Tuesday of next week, the 31st inst.,Sells Brother’s show will exhibit iu Delphi. Tho performance will doubtless draw a very large crowd; among the crowd will be a number of very bad men; and many of these bad men will bo very slick; some of them have spent years In studying plans by which they can swindle honest persons out of tlie.r money. We ask readers to remember that circus followers are not traveling philanthropists. They do not go about seeking to benefit others at their own expense. Not at all. They are on just the opposite lay, and will use all their skill, ingenuity aud persuasive powers to fill their own purses without returning an equivalent. If any of the Times readers desires to purchase any article, remember wo have responsible and legitimate dealers in Delphi who can sell the same to you. It is not necessary to patronize itinerant mountebanks orperegrinating peddlers. No honest man is ever duped by the mouto or bunko games. It is only those whose cupidity induces them to believe they cau will a large sum of money by a trifling out-wmning manners ana suavity of conversation managed to work himself Into the good graces of the members of tho lodge and the citizens generally. He was elected financial seererary of the lodge. That was his opportunity. As soon us sixty or seventy dollars hod accumulated in iiis hands he skipped out. He was found iu Indianapolis, arrested aud taken hack to Koodhouso to ati-swer to u charge of embezzlement. This break is somewhat gigantic for a111:41 of Kiddie's calibre. It would bo an easy tusk for him to heat sixty-five people out of one dollar each, but to go through oue institution for that amountis considerably surprising to the citizens hero who remember him.Disastrous Runaway.Saturday evening Harry Haugli, son of Jerry Haugh, of this city, met with an accident which, while not necessarily fatal, will lay him up for the summer. He wus engaged by Bowen Bros, to drive their delivery wagon and while on a trip to the northern part of tho city, driving down Wilson street, the horse attached to the wagon, was frightened by a train of ears 011 the Wabash roud, and rati away, upsetting the wagon and throwing Harry violently to the ground. It is supposed that his head struck a stone or a railroad tie. At any rate, a gush perhaps an inch iu length, was cut in his skull and it was feared that other and internal injuries* were sustained. He wus carried into tho resideuce of J. B. Fisher, ou Wilson street, and kindly eared for until aadifc-anco arrived. After overturning the wagon, the horse rail north on Wilsonstreet scattering tho remains of the wagon indiscriminately, and one lady, who a was wituess to t he accident declared it was almost impossible to tell whether the hone had been hitched to a wagou, a wheel-barrow or a bicycle. The wagon was a total wreck.A Waning Industry.In early days the pioneers made considerable money out of the sale of ginseng root, which they found iu the woods. Tho gathering of tho root destroyed tho plant, and every year the plant becomes scarcer. Still considerable of it is brought to town and sold the druggists. It commands one dollar per pouud for good dry root, and pays handsomely for the time and labor expended in digging and preparing it for market. Tho demand ftr exceeds the supply, as thoroot is one of the staplo remedies in China, where it is sent, and sells for Us weight iu gold. Wo should think an effort would be made by some of our farmers to cultivate it, as the return from an acre of the plant would amount to tho value of an ordinary farm.
