THE POOR WOK IN OP CHINA.
Their Life is a .serable Slavery-Mrs. Kathie Corey Ford. The Methodist church was crowded to oversowing last night with persons interested in the great cause of foreign missions. It was the occasion of the annual thanks-offering service under the auspices of the Ladies'Foreign Missionary society anil they had secured Mrs. Kathie Corey Ford to make the address. She was for four years a medical missionary at Foo Chow, China, and is a graduate of the Ann Arltor Medical School and has the honor or lieing the only woman who is a member of the Indiana Medical Society. She is a pleasant looking business-like lady and speaks with a clear, sweet voice which was easily heard in every part of the church. She said that China was abandoned in arts and science at the time Isaiah professed her conversion to Christianity but for several centures past had made no advancement on account of the dreadful curse of idolatry. Idolatry made a shame of every woman in China and it was among the women that the missionaries did their best work. Men are not needed as missionaries to China because they cannot reach the women. There are now 35,000 Christians in
China. 10,000 being white missionaries. Mrs. Ford related numerous pathetic stories of persecution which were affecting in the extreme and which no doubt unloosed many purse strings for the collection which followed. The amount was S30. After the service Mrs. Ford met with several young men of Wabash college who exjjects to be missionaries and talked with them.
The Ladies Foreign Missionary Society recently made Mrs. Sarah Heaton, known to everybody as "grandma,"' a life member of the society by paying $20. Other life members are Mrs. J. W. Greene. Mrs. .J.* R. Bryant. Mrs. (i. W. Bennett and Mrs. G. W. Switzer.
KIDNAPPED HIS OWN CHILD.
J, T. Metzger Takes Possession of his Daughter, Kate, But Soon Frees Her. The north-west portion of the city was all torn up yesterday morning by the sensation of the Metzger family. It seems that for some time past J. T. Metzger and wife have been living apart, Mrs. Metzger retaining charge of the three children and household on west Mitfket street. Mr. Metzger had made his preparations to go to Chicago yesterday and in the morning met his little daughter. Katie, aged six years, who was on her way to the First Presbyterian Sunday school. He took the youngster in charge and she at once began to squeal with all her might and otherwise gave demonstrations of her sore displeasure. Some of the neighbors arriving on the scene Mr Metzger released the squalling infant, although it is hard to see how anyone could prevent his taking her off had he been so disposed. The freed child ran home and then Mrs. Metzger roused the neighborhood and prepared to defend herself against the invasions of her errant lord and master. She interviewed the authorities and is not going to have any of her brood carried off if she can help it. It is not known whether Mr. Metzger went north cr not.
THE ATHENS IN THE SWIM.
An Intellectual and Highly Entertaining Cock Fight Takes Place Yesterday. Crawfordsville in these latter days is nothing is not interesting. Our prize fighters have brought us both credit and renown, and the various crimes and mis demeanors of our citizens are celebrating the name of the Hooaier Athens far and wide. Anew feature was added to our list of amuseinentf yesterday when about forty of the local toughs went west of town near the iron bridge and passed the quiet Sunday afternoon in arrang. ing and carrying out a cock fight. Both birds were in excellent form but the contest was a short one as within four minutes one o? the cocks dug his spur into its antagonist head killing it instantly. Willie's rooster was dead and he shed many trying tears as he and his gang gave up the good stuff they had wagered on the outcome. Nearly every sport in the crowd had up his entire pile and consequently about half of them came back to the city dead broke. This healty Sunday recreation...will be continued in future.
THE CITY CAN LIGHT ITS STREETS.
But Not Its Private Houses, Says Judge Snyder. Before the Coombs case came up this morning Judge Snyder gave his decision in the injunction case of H. S. Braden against the city of Crawfordsville. He entered a modified decree restraining the city from purchasing a plant to do commercial lighting until the supreme court decides the matter or until the court enters another decree. The court distinctly said that this does not prevent the city from purchasing a plant to do street lighting and lighting public buildings. W. T.Brnsh and Judge Davidson, nttomeys for the city said they were perfectly satisfied with the ruling and had not expected anything else. They will not carry the matter to the supreme court but a meeting of the city council will be called to-night, and the resolution changed so as to leave out all reference to commercial lighting.
FOR HIS LIFE,
CHARLES COOMBS ON MURDER.
TRIAL FOR
Twelve Good Men Sheeted tc Try Him and Give a Verdict on the Law,
It was nearly ten o'clock before the case of the State of Indiana vs. Charles Coombs was brought up. The court room was full without being crowded witnesses, attorneys, reporters and officers making up the larger part of the audic. ,iv. When Coombs came in, in charge of Policeman Brothers, he looked neaher to the right nor to the left, but with a down cast, hopeless air took his seat near his attorneys and buried his face in his hands. He seems now to fully realize cm what a slender thread his life and liberty hang. The roll of witnesses for the prosecution and the defense were called by Deputy Davis and all those present answered to their names. There were thirty-three for the prosecution and thirty-two for the defense. The regular petit jury then took their seats and were asked by Prosecutor Moffett whether they had formed any opinion as to the guilt or innocence of the defendant. Only three had done so. D. S. Enock, H. H. McDaniel who had talked with witnesses, and Isaac H. Montgomery who had read an account of the murder in THE CitAWFoitDSvrLLE JocitNAL. None of them were opposed to the death penalty. The State excused Mr. McDaniel. Jonathan Xutt was called. and having formed an opinion which would prevent him giving the defendant a fair and impartial trial was excused. S. S. Imel, of Garfield, a son of Fred Imel, a juror in the Pettit trial was called and answered all questions satisfactorily. The State then passed the jury. M. W. Bruner then questioned the jury for the defense. Wm. W. Steele had read about the murder in THE CRAWFORDSVILLE JOURNAL, but had not talked to any witnesses, li. G. Crist, of New Market, and Win. Bromley, of this city, had read the accounts in THE CRAWFORDS
VILLE JOUKNAL. The defense challenged D.S.Enoch peremptorily and J.W.Perry, of New Ross, was called. The defense challenged him for cause. Eli Armentrout was called. The defense challenged J. W. Nicely peremptorily and Asher Wert was called. James Ames, of Coal Creek, was excused by the defense, and Squire Warbrittou, of New Market, was called. He had read THE CRAWFOBDS VILLE JOURNAL accounts of the murder. The defense challenged him peretnptorily aud John II. Robinson, of this city, was called. He was challenged for cause. Capt. H. H. Talbot was the next venireman. The defense excused James N. Riley, formerly of New Market, now of this city. Brook Thomas was called and excused. Samuel Fisher took his placi and the defense passed the jury.
The State questioned Eli Armentrout and finding him a little shaky on the death penalty excused him. Levi Martin was ushered in by Deputy Davis, but was very reluctant to take his seat and to be excused. Of course the court refused to do this and Mr. Martin with evident disappointment took his place among the jurors. The State excused Asher Wert. Jacob M.Harshbarger was called, and on account of sickness of his family was excused by the court. It lie ing noon, court adjourned.
During the whole morning Coombs hid his face in his hands, only removing them occasionally to speak to his attorneys, M. W. Bruner and Col. Sellar. At an adjoining table are seated Prose cutor Moffett and A.B.Anderson with F.McClure and George Graham near by for consultation. The work of getting a jury proceeded very slowly, because there was no special venire and DeputyDavis had to search the streets for free holders.
AFTERNOON.
John Lockridge was called and excus ed. Jacob Swank and Edward Goff wore called. The defense asked each juryman if he thought it was even right to take human life in defense of home and property, and also if he had any prejudice'against the defendant. Every man answered satisfactorily and the defense passed. In a moment the State passed and the following twelve men stood up to bo sworn:
B. M. GALEY, Brown's Valley. AMAZON WARD, city. R. G. CRIST, New Market. WM. H. MONTGOMERY, Linden. WM. BROMLEY, city. GEORGE GUNTLE, Darlington, of the regular panel and
CAPT. H. H. TALBOT, city. LEVI MABTIN, Union township. EDWARD GOFF, Coal Creek township. JACOII SWANK, Union township. SAMUEL R. FIHHER, New Market. S. S. IMEL, GARFIELD. It was after 2 o'clock when the jury was selected, and a good lot of men composed it. The jurymen are all as "good and true" as any who ever served in any of Montgomery county's great raises. At a quartor past two Prosecutor Moffett arose and legan tho opening statement for the State of Indiana by reading the indictment against the defendant
NOTES.
The case will probably bo over by Friday nigm. Coombs' wife and female relatives form a group alxiut him.
S. S. Imel, tho jnror, is a son of Fred Imel, one of the jurymen in the Pettit case. -5
After Mr. Moffett closod his remarks he was followed by Judge Sella.- for tho defense. The lateness of the hour prevents a synopsis of tho opening statements this afternoon.
Death of Bev. Reuben Olaypool. Special totlio Jouruul: WAYKETOWN, Ind., March 22.—Reulxm Claypool died at his home at 6 o'clock yesterday evening after a brief sickness. He was Methodist preacher and 69 yeurs old. He wjll be .buried Tuesday, March 24.
WRITING BY TELEGRAPH
An Exhibition of the Invention Between Orawfordsville and Indianapolis. Yesterday afternoon, on a wire between this city and Indianapolis, the invention which permits writing by telegraph, was put to its first and what proved to be a highly successful test. The first message sent was a special to the Indianapolis Journal announcing the royalty for tho month of February on Clodfelter's "Early Vanities." The invention works to a charm. The whole effect of it is that the motions of tho pencil in the hand of the transmitter at one end of the wire are exactly reproduced by the pencil at the receiving station, thus reproducing not only the words written by the chirography of the writer os well. The invention is covered by eighteen patents and it is claimed will revolutionize telegraphy. It can be used at any distance. Contracts and signotures can be made at any distance anu mistakes are impossible. A large crowd was in the room of the Postal Telegraph Co. yesterday and witnessed the workings of the instrument. Harry Etheridge, of Pittsburg, officiated at the Crawfordsville end of the line at the exhibition yesterday and W. E. Gump at the Indianapolis terminus.
A Saloon Row.
Saturday evening Constable Byas, our colored digintary, went down on Market street to close up the saloon of Bill Morrison. A gang of toughs were assembled there, and it was not without much hustling that they were finally fired. Mr. Bill Robb had to be deputized and some of the roughs who were too drunk to move quickly were bruised a little. They appeared before Justice Chumasero and tried to hove Byas arrested, but the Judge "shooed" thf*n out of the room. Mr. Morrison is still holding possession of the saloon room without rental. He can't be ousted yet awhile, as Courtney brought his first action in irregular style.
