REMARKABLE COINCIDENCE.

Two of tlie Oldest People Montgomery County anil Near Neighbors Die Last _Night.

In'.he northeast [art of this township, several miles from C'rawfoulsville (Ke.irreil two deaths hist night in the same neighborhood nnd at the same time. The strange [wrt of the incident is that they were the two oldest people in the neighborhood, both being over 90 years of age. They both passed quietly away sifter long and useful lives. ISoth had seen the wilderness made a garden spot and both leave behind tliein precious memories.

Win. Cook, aged 90 years, and oue of the oldest citizens of Montgomery county. was the first of these, lie had been in feeble health for some time and his death was no surprise. He was well known all over the county and leaves many friends. William Cook was born in Kirton Linsey. Lincoln Shire, England, March 31. 1793, eatne to United States in 1852, settled in Montgomery County. Ohio, but removed to Montgomery county, Indiana, 22 years ago. settled on the farm six miles northeast where he has since lived. He joined the Primitive Methodist church more than fifty years ago, in which faith he died. Four sons and daugllter survive him. Win. lives in Missouri, John W., in Illinois, James in Ohio, Alfred in Kansas. Mrs. Mary Driver lives in this county, irnl at her home he died, lie leaves a large number of grandchildren and a good many great grandchildren. Funeral to-morrow at 11 n. m. at Young's Chapel. Elder J. II, Shuey officiating.

Mrs. Saxe, aged 92 years, and a neighbor of Mr. Cook, died about the same time at the home of her son, Frank Saxe, a well known citizen of this township. While she did not live in this county all her life, she leaves behind her many friends to mourn her death.

They Elect Ocfficers.

This afternoon the county board of commissioners close their session. The last business wns the election of county officers and so far as completed the elecli-m stands:

Superintendent of the jmor farm— Lant Long. County physician- Dr. W. B. Chain hers.

Mr. Long received two votes and Mr Ooben one, both Democrats voting for Long.

Chambers received the votes of botliDem derate also. A number of ballots were taken for attorney bnt at 3:30 there had been no election, Kead llanna had one vote, Charles Johnston one, and W. Whittington one. The two Democrats are fighting: Fullen for llanna and By ers for Johnston.

A Splendul Promotion.

Rev. A. K. Glover, of St. John's Kpis copal church, received a telegram to-day announcing that the vestry of the Christ's Episcopal church, of Madison Indiana., had elected him rector. Mr, Glover will remove his family at once to Madison and assume his new work on January 1. Christ's church of Madi son is one of the oldest and best Episco pal churches in Indiana, the building being worth 825,000 to it being attached a So,000 rectory. The work in the parish is of a most agreeable nature and Mr. Glover is to lie congratulated as is, indeed, the parish to which he goes. Mr. Glover, during hi.s short residence in Crawfordsville, has proved hiniBelf a scholarly gentleman and a progressive minister. That he may succeed in every way in future is the hope of his many friends here.

The Poultry Show

There are now nearly 800 birds on exhibition at the poultry show and the experts say that a finer exnibition was never given in Indiana. There have been larger ones but none at which there were more truly fine birds. The awarding is going on, the judges lieing Charles McChire, of New Lom'on, Ohio, and li. N. Fierce, of Indianapolis.

OO-EDUOATlON PKOWNED UPON,

Trustaes of WabaBh College Wind Up Their Business With no Definite Action.

Co education received a black eye yesterday at the hands of the trustees of Wabash College who frowned upon the measure in a most lowering manner. In the firs' place the committee of three was hardly prepared to rv|xrt. Judge Baldwinjwas not present but a letter on the subject by him written from Cairo, Egypt, was read. He was not so radical as it was oxpccted he would be iu favor of the measure and Dr. Haines, of Indianapolis, was again on the fence, while the opposing member. Judge l'axton, ceelared himself as decidedly against it. Judg« Woods made a ngthy and exhaustive speech against co-education and cited statistics to prove that it had worked disastrously in other olleges, notably Ann Arbor, Mich A letter from lion. John M. Butler was also reau which was decidedly opposed to the claims of the ladies and altogether a very negative sentiment seemed to pervade the meeting. The friends of the measure therefore moved through Simon Yaudes Hint any action on the matter be deferred until the June meeting. This was crrried unanimously. The sentiment at present, however, is decidedly against co-education and its friends will have to do some tolerably ill hustling between this and next ommenci'inent. Some of those opposng it state that the college has not the fluids necessary to take the step at present, that a very erroneous impression is abroad in regard to the largeness the college's income, and that if coeducation ever does come with their consent it will only be when well equipped dormitories can be erected ami when the sexes can recite at diiVerent hours.

In regard to the successor to I'rof. Korris in the mathematical department the committee on co education was instructed to select a fit man before January 1 and employ him. There were twenty-live or thirty applications and these have been sifted down to three as worthy. One of these gentlemen is now engaged at McAllister college at St. Paul, Minn., and has been telegraphed to come on this week. If he gives perfect satisfaction the other gentlemen may not be considered. One of these is now at Cornell college. N. Y., and the other at the Technical School of Wooster, Mass.

The question of the successor to Dr. Tuttle as President was thoroughly canvassed and some live or six names discussed. Two of the board thought that thfl now president should bv all means be a minister but the others seemed to think that they wanted the man with the best qualifications for the place without regard to his calling in life. It is pretty certain that neither Dr. Kane nor Dr. Mcl'hereou will be called but just who will be is an open question. One of the professors at Ann Arbor and a New Y'ork gentleman of high repute seem to be the most pronounced prospectives. The position has been offered to no one, and, of course, no one has applied for it. A good man will be chosen and that too, in good season.

A Splendid Opportunity.

To the Editor The Journal. CttAWFOKDSVriXE, L)t*r. 1 0.—Will YOU allow me to announce through the columns of The Jofiixal that there is now a specially good opportunity for those,' who are interested iu German and French, to enlarge their knowledge of the same.

Those who came into the entertainment at the Y. M. C. A. auditorium last evening about 9 o'clock, are deserving of the severest censure.

Walter Pickett was bundling a shot gun in "My Store" last night, when suddenly it went off without provocation and lodged a goodly lond of shot in a pile of washboards. It was all day with the washboards and the affair so disgusted Mr. Picket with guns, that he gave up a hunting expedition ho had planned for to-day.
