Odon, Ind., Oct. 19. – Last night about 8:30 o'clock, a heavy charge of dynamite was exploded near the residence of Robert SHEARER, of this city. The explosion demolished an out building in the yard at the SHEARER home and shook the entire town, breaking a number of window lights. The dynamiter is unknown and it is supposed by the people here that the guilty person or persons wanted to frighten the SHEARERS into leaving these parts. Will IKERD, of East 17th street, left home with his family a few days ago, and when he returned he found only three bushels of apples in the garret of his house, where he left 17 bushels.

Reports from Owensburg are to the effect that in the immediate vicinity there are eight Silver Republicans, ten Silver Democrats and two Gold Democrats, who voted against Mr. McKinley in 1896 who have announced their intention to vote for him this year. The Odon base ball team has disbanded. The closing season has been a very successful one with the team, it having won 12 out of 13 games played. The team was too strong to be a success financially as the neighboring teams could not hold it to a close game. On this account the latter part of the season the attendance was small. Manager GARTEN reports the indebtedness at six dollars. The boys will be ready to renew the game next year. T. L. BIXLER & Co., of Mitchell, will move their racket store to Bedford, and occupy part of the DINKELSPIEL store room, between HAASE & OWEN's and the Boss Shoe Store. M. A. and N. J.

Last Sunday, as the West Baden excursion was leaving Orleans, on the return trip, Mrs. Edgar COLGLAZIER was struck by a stone on the right side of her face just below the eye, inflicting a severe wound. Evidently the rock was thrown by someone who was either under the influence of intoxicants or by some mischievous boy and it is very likely, also, that someone was a witness to that act. Mrs. COLGLAZIER went to Orleans, Monday, and will offer a reward of $100 for evidence that will convict the culprit. – Campbellsburg Graphic. Members of the Blue River Fishing Club, who came home from camp last evening, brought with them some of the finest bass ever seen in this city. The fish were never known to be so greedy for the bait. Twenty-six fine bass were caught in a few minutes on the first day the camp was opened, and luck was good all the time the fishermen remained at BABCOCK's. – Jeffersonville Cor. Courier-Journal.
