CROSSED WIRES
Pby Havoc With Oar Electric Light ul Aijum Syrt.ni. Fir* Box*. VHIW.
Between one and two o'clock yesterday afternoon a false fire alarm was rung. Investigation showed that it was caused by the crossing of the wires of the electric light system and the fire alarm system on east Market street. The result was disastrous to both systems. The east circuit of the incandescent system refused to work and persons east of the alley between Washington and Green streets depending on incandescent lights had to resort to coal oil or candles. This has been repaired and patrons will not be inconvenienced again. But the damage to the fire alarm is more serious. Chief Dorsey began an investigation of the boxes this morning and found numbers 13, 14, 15 and 17 burnt out, the springs were broken in 10 and 34 while 13 and 23 were intact. The other boxes will be looked after and by noon to-morrow Mr. Dorsey hopes to have the circuit closed and all the undamaged boxes in working order. The circuit has been broken since the crossing of the wires yesterday and should a fire break out in the edge of town it might prove a serious matter.
AUTHORS WARMLY GREETED.
Gen. Lew Wallace and Julia Ward Howe Bead at aa Kntertainment la Mew York.
New Yoik Tribune: An entertainment for the benefit of the Booksellers and Stationers' Provident Association was given Tuesday night in Music Hall. The house was well filled. Richard Watson Gilder presided, and, besides discharging his duties as presiding officer, contributed to the evening's entertainment by reading two poems. Paul Du Cliaillu and Wallace Bruce, were expected to be present, but both were absent on account of illness. General Lew Wallace opened the programme by reading "Sergius to the Lion." In response to the agplause which greeted this, he read "How the Beautiful Came to Earth," from "Ben Hur." Then Julia Ward Howe was introduced. The 'mention of the name of the venerable author of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" provoked a storm of applause. As the white-haired authoress was led upon the stage, the organist, W. A. Corey, played the old but ever-inspiring "As We Go Marching On." Mr. Gilder made a few introductory remarks, and then Mrs. Howe read "A Dream on the Hearthstone" and "A Fireside Journey." George W. Cable read "The School Examination at Grande Pointe," and John Kendrick Bangs followed with "The Inventions of the Idiot," a piece of delicious humor which convulsed his audience. This ended the programme.

Farmer. Again Ckeerfally Bite o* An Old Wernay Oheatamt and Oet the Worm MOT TOM.
Special to The Joiraal. NKW ROM, Feb. A glib tongued
lightning rod agent, purporting to be from Pennsylvania, has been "working" some of the farmers north of this place with a very clever swindling scheme. It is the old story: The agent calls on a farmer and after talking at random drifts his conversation to the subject of lightning rods and bounces other patterns and proposes to put up an improved one at the astonishing low price of $5 as an introductory price. The farmer swallows the bait and defers "payment until the rod is put up but in the meantime signs a contract for payment as soon as the work is done, after which the contract is produced and the farmer is horrified to find that he has signed a contract to pay 52 cents afoot for all the rod on his house and sees he has been duped. This fraudulent agent swindled John C. Bowman to the extent of $300, Henry Ragsel for $125, and John Dean for $115, and several other farmers near Advance and Lebanon were also victimized by the scoundrel.
AT DABLIHGTON, TOO.
Special to The Journal. DABLINGTON, Feb. 9.—Herman Goss,
a hard working farmer, was in town this morning looking after a couple of lightning rod men. He signed a contract for a rod under a new process. They let him keep the contract this time and Herman feels sure now they are after him and as usual there is a scared Dutchman in town. The contract that he holds is signed by "J. W. Reynolds, W. R. Baston, agents." He represented Reynolds as living in Crawfordsville. When will the farmers learn to quit signing for strangers?
Madison Towashlp'a loa,
John Stephenson, of Madison township, has traded his farm of 80 ovrcft and his tile factory including four acres for a liverr stable and stock at Mason City, 111., and will move to that place the latter part of this month.

For Councilman.
THE JOURNAL to-day publishes the name of George W. Markley as a candidate for Councilman from the third ward. Mr. Markley has been a resident of Crawfordsville for twentythree years, is an earnest and life-long Republican and should he receive the nomination will be an easy winner and a worthy successor to the many excellent Councilmen the third ward has furnished. He lives in the south end of the ward and holds the responsible position of superintendent of buildings and bridges on the Big Four.
The State Conference pf Charities.

They Were Gaeeta.
Eli Reeder, janitor of the Central BChool building, wants to explain to the1 public that the boys who were playing cards in the basement were his guests, invited there for the purpose of playing cinch. When they arrived he did not happen to be at home, so the boys went to the vacant room under the superintendent's office to await his return.
Alas for Allen.
Allen Dodd came up before Judge Harney last night to receive sentence on his plea of guilty to stealing an overcoat. Allen is quite a dude and when the court sent him up to the northern prison for two years he looked exceedingly weary. It is the general impression that Allen received just about what he. needed.

This morning itis wife fell in much the same manner and suffered a broken leg by the fall. Her suffering is quite intense but it is thought that she will come through all right.

The rooms were profusely decorated with potted plants and cut flowers and after refreshments each lady received a chrysanthemum as a favor. It was one of the most enjoyable social events of this gay social season.
Oa Uneasy Street.

A mammoth leather medal was carved out, resolutions drafted and several burning speeches prepared to make him sizzle if the jury went against his
