YOUR CHRISTMAS GIFT.

That Yon Ca-j Buru Gas To-morrow. This aficii)o 1:1 at one o'clock a gHng o' 11 tt'ii went out to assist in making the 1 ist bin out on Cninpltell's hill, just eict of tlio I'itv. This is tho last blowing out to he done except tho blowing out of the pipes about tlio city ami as everything is prepared for this work it will be completed this evening. Tlio gas arrives here to-night but it will not bo turned on for the benefit of consumers until some time to-morrow. That it will bo turned on then the company states that there is no doubt. Gas will be burning in places of business nnd private residences. This is in tho nature of positive information from headquarters and can le relied upon.

Here To-morrow Night,

Everyone present at Music Hall last night, had no other way but to laugh continually from the rise to the fall of the curtain. The "Two Old Cronies" tremendously funny, and especially Frank M. Wills as the Professor, whose ability to make people laugh has no limit, and whoso humor permeates the entire comedy. The company supporting the star was of superior merit, as their singing fully attested. The aim" of this comedy is to niako people laugh, and to what extent it succeeded cannot bo questioned by anyone who had tho pleasure of seeing this strong combination of comedians and singers, who, under the above pseudonym, trod tho boards last night, and made the walls ring with laughter.—Philadelphia Hem.

The "Two Old Cronies'' will be at Music Hall ngain to-morrow night. This is the compnny's fourth visit to Crawfordsville and their popularity is unluestioned and unquestionable. The show is a sid»* splitter and will till the house.

Ten Days in Jail.

This afternoon the case of John Trissell, of Noblesville, who purloined some gas fittings front Birch Brothers came up for trial. Presiding Judge Stephenson, Senator Gresham and Attorney Alexander came over from Jsoblesvilie to plead in behalf of the young man who previously bore a fine record. They carried with them a big stack of affidavits from the principal citizens ot Noblesville bearing them out. Messrs. Birch consented to leniency, and after a long tussle with Prosecutor Moffett he consented that Trissell be let off with a ten days' jail sentence which Judge, Seller accordingly gave Tho verdict gave satisfaction and the mercy shown in this case is to be corn-' mended highly.

Christmas In Jail.

Jake Freed went into the body of the jnil this morning, being unable to pay the fine and costs which piled up against him for selling liquor to a minor. Judge Sellar refused to grant him a new trial, but his attorneys, Hanna & Hanna, will tnke the case to the supreme court. It broke Jake up to think of spending the merry Christmas day in jail.

gau for a Bride Whom Ho Never Saw. Mtice is productive of marriage sensations. Hard upon the heels of tho LinnMorris elojement comes tho case of T. A. Armstrong, the saw mill man who

lion Mr. Armstrong, arrayed in his sweetest smile and a suitor store clothes with creases in 'em, stated that he intended to come back with a Mrs. Armstrong, who for good looks, mone_\*an.l intellect wonld bo decidedly tho thing. The journey of Mr. Armstrong has been permeditated for some time and thereby hangs a tale. Some two years ago in some, way or other, Mr. Armstrong started up a oorro.s[xmlenee with Mrs. Lulu {Edgerton, of Cooper., Michigan. Ho had never seen tho lady and just how he "caught on" is a mystery similar to all tho mysteries surrounding tinknown correspondents and which are really not such great mysteries after all. Anyhow Mr. Armstrong corresjiondeil with Mrs. Edgerton, who is a widow of means with one promising child, help and stay, of course, to her declining years. When we say Mr. Armstrong correspond with her, we should jierliaps qualify the statement somewhat. He really conijtosed the tender sentiments with which his letters termed by Wm. McClure dressed them up in glowing terms nnd copied them in his fair Italian hand. Mrs. Edgerton was a very coy creature, and it took some exceedingly tender sentiments "to fetch her." But she finally fetched and Messrs. McClure and Armstrong patted their heads. Well, the only thing left for Mr. Armstrong, who is a good stout man about 35 years old and of an amiable and winning disposition, to do was to go up to Cooper and get her. With his heart full of joy and his pockets full of the coin of the realm he left vesterday on his mission of love. Happy is the man whom Santa Clans remembers by putting a brand new wife in his stocking tor a Christmas gift.

Violent Derangement.

Early this afternoon ae Fred Schweitzer was standing at the bar of Gus .Myer's saloon, ho was suddenly approached by Peter Fischer, who without a word drew a knife and commenced cutting Mr. Schweitzer's ear off. He very nearly succeeded, too, and left, Mr.

Schweitzer's ear hanging by a thread He then declared that he would cut his own throat. His sons were apprised of their father's condition and at once had Officers Grimes and Hoffman piace him under arrest and in the jail. He had a number of letters addressed to Mayor Carr and other prominent citizens. Mr. Fither's mind has not been exactly balanced for some some time but no expected him to become violently insane. Every care will be given him and it is hoped that he will, in a short time, be himself. The affair is an unfortunate one as Mr. Fischer is one of Crawfords ville's oldest and best citizens, always openhearted and inoffensive and never seeking to wrong any man.

"Ah There. Luoindy 'Cindy. Albert Hunter and Lucinda Elmnri of Crawfordsville, made application Monday afternoon late for a marriage license to marry. The groom looked rather young, and after several questions had been asked him by Deputy Aberuathy and answered in an unsatisfactory manner a license was refused The couple returned to Crawfordsville, we understand, with the intention of getting further proofs of the age of the would be groom and returning, procure a license and get married. But they have not returned yet.—Danville, (J 11.) Commercial.

Lucinda Elmore is well known here having figured in the incest case with her stepfather, Wm. Hunter, who escaped on the plea of being a bigamist. Just who Albert Hunter happens to lie is not known,but he is probably a choice young man.

Paroled, Not Pardoned.

C. M. Travis returned from Indianap olis last night where he had been in the interest of Wm. Shular. Governor Chii3e signed the parole yesterday after noon and it was forwarded to Michigan City last night, so that Shular will probable get home to-morrow, a verita ble Christmas gift to liis parents. Mr. Chase, in signing the parole, stated that he wished it understood that in so doing he was carrying out the wishes of Gov Hovey, who had promisad that Shular should bo released about the holidays Although no unconditional pardon granted it will serve every purpose Mr. Shular will no doubt conduct him self in an eiemplary manner the rest of his da vs.

Another Mathematician Coming. Prof, btudley, of Cornell University. N. Y., is expected to arrive here within tho next day or so. He is a prospectiv professor for the vacant chair ot mathe matics in Wabash College, and is said to be a fine instructor. He has a most interesting young family and would be quite an addition to Crawfordsville in social way. it is stated. Prof. Boyd, McAllister College, is also still under consideration.
