THE ENSUING YEAB.
Officers Elected, Resolutions Passed and
Matters of Import Dealt With.
The Oity Council held its postponed meeting last evening and transacted eon eiderable important business. Under the head of remonstrances came two lai go ones. The first was from the citizens owning property on west Main Btreet and the second from those owning on east Main. Both sets of remonstrators objected vigorously to the proposed paying of the streets. Nearly every property owner had signed the protest and all seemed to be in earnest.
The health officer, Dr. Hutching's, reported that there were two cases of diphtheria in the city, but that there was no danger of a spread of the di sense.
Permission was granted to retain the well on Ed Towneley's lot at the junction of Main and Oak streets.
The committee on electrio lights reported that two armatures at the light plant had been badly "damaged during the recent thunder storms 1 had to be sent to Ohicago for repairs.
The committee investigating tho open ing of Chestnut street wns granted more time and instructed to report whether or not the proposed opening could not be avoided by the opening of Scott street to Fremont.
The city clerk reported that Margeret J. Seawright and a cloud of others hud appealed to the circnit court against being assessed for the opening of Plum street through Elston's grove.
The oity treasurer reported a balance in the treasury of $25,080.59. The committee appointed to draft resolutions on the death of Councilman Scott reported as ToIIowb:
IN MEMOltlAM.
Jefferson W. Scott, a member of the Common Council of Che city of Craw fordsville, died suddenly lust Sunday morning. For the last six years he hud been a zealouB and enthusiastic member of this Council, representing the first ward. In all his official nets ho whs honest, conscientious and fearless and hud at heart at all times the betterment of the city in geuerul and of the ward he represented in pHrticular. lie whs 11 champion of progress and a zealous ad vocate of every measure brought before the body for the advancement of the city's interests and at all times had the courage of of his own convictions on questions of viual importance to the city. As a citizen he wus held in highest es teem and in his death the oity has lost a faithful servant, the council a worthy member and his associates a noble friend.
Whereas death has invaded our ranks and taken from our number Coun oilman Scott, and
Whebeas in the death of our friend and co-laborer we are bereft of a public servant, whose ever aim was for the welfare and interest of the oity he loved. Therefore be it
Resolved by the surviving members of this Common Counoil now assembled that we bow in humble submission to the will of an all-wise Providence who has seen fit to remove from our midst our friend and companion. Be it further
Resolved that this body tender to the grief stricken widow and relatives our earnest condolence and that this resolution be spread of record and a copy be given to the widow and that the press of the city be requested to publish the same. And be it further
Resolved that the city building be appropriately draped for thirty days. Reynolds,
VANAHSDALL, Tomlinson, Committee.
It seems that when the good oity of Crawfordsville deeded the engine house property to Mrs. Shirk that it accident ally included the adjacent property of Tom Stilwell. The city attorney reported that Mrs. Shirk seemed to know a good thing when she had it and did not appear to be in any mood to give Mr. Stilwell back his own. The state of affairs caused much merriment and the attorney was instructed to see that Mr. Stilwell received his rights.
The chief of the fire department made his annual report and stated that the lire department was just about the alum or words to that effect During the past year there had been 31 alarms sent in, 28 by the electric alarm system. Two of the fires handled were of incendiary origiu. The department had laid 9,8C0 feet of hose and had worked 8 hours and 51 minutes, going lGt miles altc gether to get to work. The loes by fire during the year had been but slightly in excess of $28,000, although there had been three big fires which were under great headway when the department is summoned.
The report of the superintendent of the electric light plant waB deterred. The next thing in order was the election of the successor to Councilman Soott, deceased. Mr. Vanarsdal nominated Henry Campbell and the nomination was seconded by Mr. Smith. Mr. Myers nominated John Drury, but at this point Captain Bryant arose and stated that he had been authorized by Mr. Drury to withdraw his name. Accordingly Mr. Tomlinson moved that the election of Mr. Campbell be made unanimous. This was accordingly done.
Councilman Reynolds made a motion that the counoil reorganize for the en
suing year and this was carried. The following committees and officers were elected:

The Orop Bulletin.
The crop bulletin iBBued by the Indiana weather service says: Little sunshine prevailed,* with an average temperature near normal and excessive rains. These conditions were not favorable to farm work no plowing and seeding wore done. The work is now behind and farmers are much dis oouraged. The crops did not advance much in growth grass and wheat on uplands continue to look well and promising fruit seems not to be hurt much by the late frosts.

Funeral of Jeff Soott.
The last rites over the remains of the late Jefferson Scott were held at the residence yesterday afternoon and were very largely attended. The present oity officials, a large number of ex officials, the fire department and the electric force all attended the funeral in a body. Dr. H. A. Tucker opened with a Scriptural reading and a prayer and three appropriate hymns were snng. The principal address was by ltev. E. T. Lane, of Lebanon, and [he paid a deserving tribute to the many virtues of the deoeased. The floral offerings given by friends were very pretty, one being a wheel with one broken spoke, a present from the city conncil. The pall bearers were Councilman Reynolds, Smith and Tomlinson, John L. Qoben, Soott Darter and John Robinson. The fire department wagon, clioorated in black, formed apart of the funeral procession as far aB Markets rv*»t, ou ihp way to O.ilc Hill cpiiivUrv.
CHASED BY A BOX CAR.
An Rxcltliiff Epliodc of ItaUrondiiig lu the Colorado Mountains. "I was chased once by a box ear," said an ex-railroad man, to a Kansas City Journal representative. "It was out in Colorado, tho land of steep grades and sharp curves. We were sliding down the mountains one day with a baggage car and two coaches. I -was on the rear platform looking at the road when I descried a box car coming down the grade at a rate of speed that was appalling. If It struck us we were pone Bure, for it would smash the entire train into kindling wood and pile It up in one of the gorges. Our only hope was to either outrun or wreck it. The engineer caught sight of it at the same instant that I did, and put the lever down among the tallow pots. "It appeared impossible that we could hold tho track on the sharp curves •while moving more than a mile a minute, but we did, and tho box cur continued to saw wood. If wo could once get to the foot of the grade we would be safe, but that was soon seen to be impossible. Rapidly as we were going' the box car continued to gain upon us, and now we could see that it was loaded with iron. Somethingmustbedone and that quickly. All the passengers had fled into the forward coach, and were hanging on to the seats. I signaled the engineer to shut off, set a brake hard on the rear coach, pulled the pin and the engineer opened the throttle. We had not gone one hundred yards before the box car ran into the coach and sent splinters flying a quarter of a mile high. Both went plunging over into a chasm, and I hunted up a passenger who had a pocket flask, and reinforced my nerves."
.CHANGEABLE ROSES. ant or tho Florlcultural Achievements of Oriental Peoples.
The Chinese, the Japanese and the Siamese know a thing or two about botany and floriculture that would be of much value to the German, English and American botanists. One of their achivements—the one on which they pride themselves above all others, unless it is the art of raising oaks in thimbles—is the "changeable rose," a real rose in everything except that it is white when in the shade and blood-red as soon as the sun strikes it. The words "as soon" in the last sentence above do not literally mean Instantaneously, but one thing is sure, the transformation is rapid enouffh for the wondering eyes that are allowed the rare pleasure of beholding 6uch a wonderful sight. After night, or when in a dark room, says the St. Louis Republic, this curiosity of the rose family is a pure, waxy white blossom. When transferred to open air the transformation Immediately sets In, the tirae of the entire change of the flower from white to tho most sanguine of all sanguine hues depending on the degree of sunlight and warmth. First the petals tako on a kind of washed or faded blue color, which rapidly changes to a very faint blush of pink. The pink gradually deepens in hue until you find that your lily-white rose of an hour before is as red as the reddest peony that ever bloomed.
DIDN'T FOOL HINI.
Vanderbllt Wm Somethluf of a Judge Jewels Himself. A good story is told of one of the Vanderbilts, says an exchange. While abroad recently he was visited by a rich lk-rlin jeweler, who, without waiting the usual formalities incident to gaining an audience, marched in on Mr. Vanderbilt unannounced. Tho intruder was an elderly man with an intelligent face and attired in faultless evening dress, tho fashion prescribed by European etiquette for visits to potentates, ambassadors and other high dignitaries, it. s-pective of the hour or season. Mr. Vanderbilt was surprised, but not overwhelmed, by the jeweler's evident attempt at continental complaisance. lie listened to his tale of the "greatest ruby on earth," which the dealer was willing to dispose of at a sacrifice, with a courteous air, and then offered him one-tenth of the price demanded. "I have five stones of exactly the same dimensions and coloring," said he, "and am willing to complete the halfdozen at a fair figure. You may send me your answer within two hours. Good morning."
The answer arrived eighteen minutes before the prescribed time had elapsed. It was in the affirmative.
