Smith Conner, who died last Wednesday in Walnut township, was born October 17, 1808, in Montgomery county, Virginia. In 1S23, when fifteen years of age, liirt parents removed to Indiana, when the State was almost unbrokcu wilderness. December 11, l.S.'ii, he was married to Susan liurdesty, in l'utuam county. Soon afterwards he came to this county and located in Walnut township where he resided until his death. Four children were born to them, two boys and two girls, all of them, tog'-ther with his wife, survive him.

THE PASTORS.

A Few Woods Concerning the Leaders of Christian Work in Orawfordsville. During tho Uniou meetings of the last two weeks tho various congregations of the city have had an excellent opportunity to see and hear the pastors of all the churches and compare them with each other. No doubt each person will return to his regular church satislied that his preacher is the preacher for him and it is of course best so. But perhaps it has never been realized before what a good set of pastors Craw fordsville has. Dr. R. J. Cunningham has been here the longest, having taken charge of Center church in tho Spring of 1887. A strong thinker and kind pastor, his congregation has constantly increased in size and grace. Rev. G. W. Switzercame hero from the Shawnee Mouud charge less than tliree years ago. In the pulpit he has that force which comes from extempore speaking and his eveniug audiences are notably largo. He is popular with the citizens outside his church and is doing much good in this community. Rev. G. F. Fuson entered upon his work for the Baptists of this city some two years ago, dividing his timo between this place and Waynetown, but ho grew stronger in the estimation of his church here and they felt tho necessity of having his individual attention. So at the beginning of this year his salary was increased and he now preaches here every Sunday. He is a man that grows upon you. The more you hear ham, the more you like him. Rev. E. T. Lane is the newest of our pastors, all of whom are comparatively new residents. He came just in time to enter upon his work in a handsome structure which rivals any ohuroh building in the oity. He is giving entire satisfaction to his large congregation and attracts many outsiders to his service. Of her pastors Crawfordsville may well be proud. They are doing a grand work.

A svriotis burden imposed upon a creditor collecting his debt is the present existing law that a Justice of the Peace with two or three exceptional oases, has no civil jurisdiction beyond tho limits of his own township. The expressed object of this provision is to give to the different justices in their several townships, tho business arising therein. Now the fees and profits of courts liuve not, or at least ought not to have, any weight in the proper administration the rights and interests of those who invoke their aid and assistance ii.ro the subjects to bo first considered. As the law now stands, a c: jditor having a just demand against a man living out of the township where such creditor resides, cannot sue him there in a Justice's court, to whioh he desires to resort for the saving of time money, lawyers' foes and other expenses, but must either employ a lawyer and go into the Circuit Court at a large expenso, or must travel, himself and all liis witnesses, to the township wherein the defendant resides, be it one, tea cr twenty miles distant. This is essentially wrong. He should be allowed to bring his suit in the township where he himsalf resides, and the debtor, who neglects or refuses to pay the just debt he owes, has no right to complain if he be compelled by reason of his default to come to where his creditor resides. An easy solution of this difficulty would be found by adopting the New York law on this subject, whioh declares that such suit must be brought in the township where either the plaintiff or the defendants may reside.

Referring once more to our criminal law: What we need to meet the cases of obdurate and uurcformable offenders, is, what they have in Illinois and other States, namely, an habitual criminal act, which is this: where a man has been convicted, say three times one after tho other, and again on being released from his imprisonment, commits further crime, let his sentence be, upon his last conviction, imprisonment for twenty years. He has shown himself by his repeated acts of criminal aggression to bo case hardened, steeped in guilt, and irreclaimablo. Sympathy with such an offender is the sheerest nonseiiBo and an insult to society and good order, and the community should be protected from his ravages, by excluding him from that community, just as long as possible. This system, where tried, has worked most admirably.

In the case of the burglary of a dwelling house in the nighttime, the penalty should be death or at loust imprisonment for life. After the toils and weariness of the day, you and your wife and children seek your bed at night, and retire in fancied safety and security for rest and peace. In the dark miduight hour, when all is still and quiet, and the household is wrapped in sweet repose and slumber, the hardened burglar noiselessly pries open a door or window and commences his villainous proceedings he searches your pockets, steals your money, tho jewelry of wife and daughters and proceeds to carry off all of whetevor value he can find. If you sleep on, all you may lose is your property, but should you chauco to wake and detect tho base marauder in his raid, most suroly if you attempt his capture, or the recovery of your stolen treasure, your life may pay the penalty.

How many cases are on record to attest tho faot? A man shot down and murdered at his own hearthstone and before the very oyes of his wife and chil dreB, by a cold blooded, mean, detestable assassin for whom, lynching in its most terriblo form, is far too light a punishmont. In the midnight burglar's heart there lurks murder, and if necessary to his security murder he will commit. In the same category is tho miduight incendiary who set tiro to a

dwelling in tho night timo inhabited tit the timo by human beings, that the inmates are not burned to death is no f.iult of his. He is a murderous wretch, and death should bo his doom. I do not in any degree favor a Draconian Code of laws, but condign punishment and the extreme penalty should bo meted out to villains and fiends like these. They are useless to themselves, a curse to society, and the sooner their career is ended tho better. C.

THEATRICAL THOUGHTS,

It would bo a pity if Music Halll should not be filled to-night when Frank Daniels appears in "Little Puck." Manager Townsloy made a special effort to secure this attraction and it will be one of the few first class ones of the winter. From some matter furnished by tho advance agent the following is selected which may be taken as a promise from him: ''it h-» none of tho vulgarity, on whioh most of the so-called ''farce comedies" of the day depend, and tho never ending fun that is found in it, comesnot from tho play itself entirely, but from each member of the company, who produce it without strain* ing to make a laugh. The piece has been put together cleverly and furnishes an ovening of harmless amusement."

The Frankie Jones' company which is to be here on Monday and Tuesday is said have a very strong financial backing. Tho leading lady is Miss Helen Vaughn, who started out with Bill Richmond the first of this season. The company was to have been here on Wednesday night but "Around the World in 80 Days" had that date and so we will have but two nights of the boy actor.

Although Miss Nellie Bly has about completed her earth girdling feat in 75 days yet a great many will want to see Mr. Phineas Fogg do it in 80 days on tho stage next Wednesday evening. The piece is full of new and beautiful tableaux and Mr. Syding, the advance man, told us they carried a ballet of twelve.

Atkinson's "Pock's Bad boy" is looked for next Friday. Tho Chicago Times says: "At the Standard, "Peck's Bad Boy" disported himself to the infinite delight of an immense audience."

Hly, whoso

right name is Eli/.iflieth Cochrane, passed through the city yesterday just as she hai made her wonderful trip around the world—not stopping long-, hut seeing a good deal. She came in over the Santa Fe road, alighting at the depot at 8 o'clock. She held an informal reception at the Press Club, was breakfasted at Kinsley's, visited tho Hoard of Trade and was off at 10:30 o'clock over tlu- Pennsylvania road, to arrive at Jersey City, barring accidents and delays, at 4 o'clock this afternoon, 71! days hours and SO minutes from the time she started.

Tho itinerary of Miss lily's remarkable trip is as follows: Nov. 14—Left New York by Augusta Victoria at 0:4ft :3) n. m.

Jau. 7—Lett Yokohama via Pacific Mall steamship. Jan 21—Keatiied San Francisco.

Jan. 25—Due New York. Nov. 14 to Jun. 25—Seventy-three days. Perhaps not the least wonderful part of her trip is the wonderful time she made between San Francisco and Chicago. She started at 0 o'clock Tuesday morning, arriving at 8 Friday morning. Allowing two hours for the ditferenco in time botween tho two places, tho run of 2,574 miles was make in exactly sixtynine hours. Near Dodge Citv a spurt of sixty-nine miles was made in flfly-fivo minutes. Tin.* 250 miles the other side of Emporia was made in the same number of minutes. She was ahead of her time at every place.

This time has never been beaten oxccpt liy the .larrett & Palmer theatrical special in lb70. For .larrett it Palmer's train a month's notice was given to all the trainmen, yardmen, dispatchers and other otlicials connected with the operating departments of the various roads. The train ran from New York to San Francisco without stopping for a second. Engines were changed on the fly. Hours before the train was due all switches were spiked into position to prevent accident. T.ho train on which Nellie lily came East

What did Miss Hlv's trip cost? Her personal expenses fell trifle under S500, Her transportation up to the time she reached Mojave. Cal.. fooled up SI.500. From Oakland to Mojave she trj'.veled over the Southern Pacific on a regular train. Hut ai Mojave alio took her special over the Santa Fo system.

Hut owing to the unprecedentedly fast timo she wanted to innke, tin1 consequent risk of accident the road ran. and tho necessity of side-tracking all its other trains for her passage, the Santa Fo charged her one dollar a mile for her special.
