To tho Editor Journal. CiiAWKomisvu.i.K, Ind., July 5, 'HI.— Permit me through the columns of your paper to correct a few mistakes which appear in the article in your issue of the lid headed, "A liig Record."
As a prelude will say I am sure the reporter did not misquote me intentionally.
The facts, as the record will show, are as follows: At the September term, I SOI, of the Montgomery Circuit Court, there was on the second day of the term, (defaultday.) llSpages of record. During the first week of the term there was Hi" pages of record. To write this up required seven days' work, commencing at 7 a.'in. and continuing each day till midnight, except the last day (Sunday), when I completed the previous week's record about 5 p. m. 1 had all the "otlice work" to do besides. I merely spoke of the matter to show the relative ditt'erence between the manner of collecting notes then and now, the bulk of the record on the second day being judgments by default on notes sued on.
Very few notes are collected through the medium of the courts now. I am not egotistical, and am glad of the opportunity of paying tribute to the superiority of many ex-clerks of the court house over myself, among whom I might mention Steve Beck, Abe Watson. Ted Hrown and Tom Powell.
I presume there are none of these gentlemen, three of whom are living, but what would say I was in my palmy days of writing, capable of ''oing more work in a given time than any or either of them, but .for me to assume that I could ever write so artistically as the parties named, would be an exhibition of gall that 1 neither possess nor desire1 have often wished, when able to do business, that I could combine the artistic penmanship of the good friends named above, with my rapidity.
If I could have done so I think no one would say me nay in claiming the position of a first class clerk, in all respects formerly, but now I am sorry to say my clerical accomplishments are like Othello's occupation—yimc.

The Logansport Journal contains two columns devoted to the miscarriage of justice in Cass county and goes after Prosecutor Frank ICistler without gloves. Among other cases it cites that of Ward Burrows as follows:
Then came the Ward Burrows case, lie was convicted of forgery at Crawfordsville and sent to the penitentiary for three years. lie got a new trial and wus taken back to Crawfordsville. He was taken from the sheriff there on a charge made here and brought here and released because the papers would not hold him, a proceeding which created unfavorable comment and looked strange on the face of it.
A Kival For "Shook" Shannon. .Said an old attache of the court house yesterday: "1 want to say right here that "Shook" Shannon's days' circuit court record of 102 pages has been surpassed. When 'Jim Crawford was deputy clerk in 1S75 he had a record that would have made 250 pages if written by "Shook." "Shook" writes a very large hand and Crawford wrote a fine hand, so his record while apparently not so large as "Shook's" is really much larger.

A BIG TIME IN CRAWFORDSVILLE.
A Mounter Celebration nt Moliarry'a anil the Shades of Death—Notes of the l)ay.
The celebration of Independence day in Crawfordsville was of a peculiar character. Hundreds of people left town to enjoy the day in the woods and hundreds came in to enjoy the day in town. The Crawfordsville celebration was under the auspices of the Knights of St. John and was eminently successful, although the great strike prevented several visiting orders from reaching the city and contributing to the pleasure of the day. In the morning there was a street parade participated in by the Knights of St. John, Company I and the Webber Zouaves, of Indianapolis. The Zouaves gave a drill on the court house corner which was appreciated by all as high class military work. In the afternoon all visited the fair grounds where various amusements served to pass the time away most enjoyably. The Zouaves gave drills as did the Knights of St. John, both doing splendidly. The chief amusement was the races. They resulted as follows:
Free-for-all trot and pace: Joo Taylor ... 1 -1 3 Fred 'i I 1 Bird a 'I 2 Nixon 4 4 -1
Time, 2:41, 2:40, 2:40. Run, half mile and repeat: Los Vegas 1 Paul Uryi'ut Mack.Goodrlek Harry Whltel'oot

and
AT TILK SHADES.
The crowd at the Shades of Death was estimated at from 1,500 to 2,000. There was such a largt^ territory for them to cover that it was hard to tell just how many were there. At any rate it was an immense crowd, a good natured crowd and a crowd that was thoroughly enjoying all the entertainment that had been prepared for them. About 11 o'clock the Waveland band played the opening piece at the grand stand, followed by an excellent reading of the Declaration of Independence by John Deere, of liluft' Mills. After another selection by the band Rolla Crist, of New Market, the chairman, introduced Hon. John C. Wingate, the orator of the day. Mr. Wingate spoke for nearly an hour, holding his hearers to the very end. He paid tribute to the fathers who founded our government and described the marvelous growth of the country from the beginning to the grand consummation of the World's Fair. Speaking of our great system of educations he alluded to the Wabash College donation as follows:
The day is not distant when those of us who live in this county will regret our criticism of the custodians of our county funds for their proposed appropriation to Wabash College, when we fully understand the premises in the matter only oneocondition of which I will now mention, and that is the securing of two scholarships, free for Montgomery county, for all time to come. Who knows but Montgomery county has in one of its obscure homes a Jackson, or a Garfield,driving a canal mule, a Grant feeding a bark mill, or a Lincoln hewing a glut to open a rail cut. Shall it be said of us. in the language of Patrick Henry, that we are "of the number of those who having eyes see not and having ears hear not the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation?"
The speaker also warmly roasted the demagogue who misguides the voters of the country and is in a large measure responsible for labor troubles. At the conclusion of his speech Mr. Wingate was many times congratulated.
Shortly after dinner the baby show occurred. John Bonnell and C. J. Head were the judges and awarded the first prize to the baby of Mrs. Rena Boots, second to that of Mrs. Clore and third to that of Mrs. uHockett. The same judges awarded the prize for the hnndsomest married lady to Mrs. Pearson, of Alamo. The young ladies were all so bashful that none of them came forward to enter the contest arranged for them. The ball game between Bluff Mills and^Vaveland occupied the greater part of the afternoon and was a spirited contest resulting in a victory for Bluff Mills by a score of 39 to 18. The grounds were decorated with flags and bunting, the band played at frequent intervals and there were numerous balloon ascensions and fire works at night. Landlord Stebbins is to be congratulated on the success of the celebration.
TIIK FOUKTII AT MKHAHHY'S. While the attendance was not near as large as usual for that popular place it was made up of the best people, and the finest order prevailed. The Waynetown cornet band and a martial band from West Point made very agreeable music. Wm. M. Reeves made an oration in the morning that was very favorably received, and it was very flatteringly commented on by Hon. W. IJ. Owen, who spoke in the afternoon to the satisfaction of all. Rev. W. E. McKin/.ie also made a good speech. Miss Borum, of Greencastle, and Miss
Alexander recited very fine pieces. No one went away dissatisfied. The absence of the venerable David Meliarry, so long the president, was sadly noted and S. A. R. Beach, who has been secretary for thirty years, was also absent from sickness. All expenses were met and no hat was passed or donation asked. There will be a celebration theri next year. The annual old set-tlei-s' meeting at Meharry's occurs the last Thursday of August each year.
THK FOUltTH AT DARI.INGTON. uly 4, 1894, was ushered in at Dailgton promptly at 3 a. m. by the ringof church bells and the shouts of 11^ boy until the older people the Fourth came but
once a year. The morning opeued up clear, cool and beautiful for the occasion. Early in the morning the work of decorating was begun—and if there is any one thing our people excel in it is that of decorating their places of business and residences. The crowd began to arrive early coming from neighboring towns, during the fore-' noon, but tl-e rush did not begin until after dinner, when the farmer left his wheat field and with his family came in that the childreu might see the races and the balloon man. Promptly at 1 o'clock J. W. Williams, of New Market, Lobe Harris, of Mar, and John Hampton, of Darlington, took their places on the judges' stand, and with Williams as starter, called the horses and the racing began.
The first was the 3-minute trot or pace. There were four started with Aldonis at the poll, Iova, Burt Wilks and Judson following as named. Aldonis won the race, dividing th-j honor with Burt Wilks, making four heats: best time, 2:30 purse, §30.
The second was the 3-year-olu pace. There were three starters, Montana Billy at the poll, with Henry S second and llalstead's sorrel eolt as followers. Montana Billy took first heat in 2:-lo, and then the sorrel colt came to the front and won the race best time, 2:42 purse, 820.
The third was a free-for-all trot or or pace. There were but two starters, William II. and Jule] Cox's bay mare. William"H. won the race. Best time, 2:33.
Then came the running race. Three ponies were started, Vanice, Hatch and Mullen. Vanice won the race in two heats.
At the close of the races T'rof. Grinley began to inflate his balloon and the crowd watched the proceedings somewhat impatiently, but in due time came the order let her go and away she went to a height of some fifteen hundred feet feet, when he cut loose and came back to earth by the parachute route making a safe landing,but narrowly escaping a large tree top as he brushed the limbs and leaves along itsside. This closed the days' work at the park.
The crowd then came to town to await the fire works, as we are noted for our display of fire works on such occasions, and this time we were up to the standard. And late in the night the crowd dispersed and we. think went home satisfied with their days' sport, and the Park Association are to be congratulated in their management, while they -made no money they will come out even by giving themselves credit for considerable. The gate receipts amounted to S143.50 at 15 cents per head, while almost as many viewed the proceedings from the outside. The usual side show and lemonade slinger was on hand, but the crowd was the most orderly and quiet we have ever had. Not a man under the inlluence of anything all day except patriotism, love of country and plenty of harmless fun. Thus while Debs and his strikers continue to liarrass the country we will continue to have the most beautiful little town aud in the future as the past give each and all their money's worth on every occasion.

Grecneastie Ihtimer-Thiiex: The local bartenders were out practicing yesterday for their game to-morrow at Crawfordsville with the mixologists of that city. The local lads claim they will knock the pop smashing crowd of Athens oif the face of the earth. It is stated that refreshments will be served on third base in the game and every man reaching that point can have his choice. That scheme would not work well, however, as the batters would run to third base first and go no further.
The game came off yesterday and Crawfordsville won by a score of 25 to 15. The feature of the game was Mike Oneil loosing a ten dollar bill out of his pocket.

CAN'T BE DONE BY MACHINERY.
Dottles That Have to B« Manufactured by Uand. Many attempts have been made to 6upplant tho glass-blower by machinery, says a trade journal, but up to this time none have attained commercial Importance. Either the cost of production has been found to bo higher than by the time-honored method or the ware produced was not of a quality up to the demands of the market. TMs is more especially tho oasc in the kinds of bottles used to contain effervescent drinks, which must be capable of withstanding a pressure of several atmospheres without failure. This, in fact, is the critical point in the automatic manufacture of bottles, since the difficulty has always been to obtain a distribution of the glijfs forming the walls of the bottle as uniform as in the hand work. The attempt has been made to press the body and bottom separately, and to unite the two by fusing them together, but tho bottles made in this manner were very heavy and of a poor appearance. The bottle machine invented by Ashby, England, aroused much interest and was much talked of, several companies being formed to engage In bottle manufacture by this method, but none, if they still survive, have succeeded in putting any great amount of ware on the markets of the world.

BOSTON'S WEALTHY WOMEN.
Hovernl Millionaire* Among Tlieni, Including One with «n Kntato of •'•i2,000,000. One of the wealthiest women in Boston is undoubtedly the widow of the late Augustus llemengway, as she was the chief heir to an estate valued at 822,000,000. Mrs. llemengway resides in one of the grand old houses on Mount Vernon street, and from her home dispenses a wide hospitality that includes the poor as well as the rich, and the charities aud philanthropic enterprises in which she lias long been quietly Interested can only be numbered by her nearest friends. Her normal cooking school and hergymnasium are described by the Journal as two of her most successful undertakings.
Mrs. Quincv A. Shaw, daughter of Prof. Louis Agassiz, has a private fortune which enables her to dispense a royal bounty. Iler "kindergarten" work alone is said to cost her about 850,000 a year.
Mrs. Sears, the wife of J. Montgomery Sears, and daughter of Charles F. Choate, of Southboro, also has a worthy fortune in her own name. Mrs. Sears' reputation as an artist lias been established since her notable triumph in winning tho 8500 Evans prize, awarded by tho jury of the New York water color exhibition last year.
Mrs. S. D. Warren, of Mount Vernon street, Is credited with at least 83,000,000. She owns the Androscoggin mills and a great deal of other property. She is exceedingly philanthropic, and her love for pictures lias led her to indulge in many by tho most eminent artists of the time. Mrs. Alpheus Hardy is worth nearly 81,000,000. She Is very fond of flowers, cultivating them with great success. A superb chrysanthemum is named for her. Mrs. W. II. Slocum, daughter of Moses Williams, is worth 8800,000, and Miss Elizabeth Brigham enjoys a share in the use of her late brother's largo estate, which, when the last legatee shall have died, will endow a liosyital to be called by the name of its founder. There are many women whoso names do not appear in the tax list because their money is invested in government and corporation bonds. In the latter case the corporation pnys the taxes, and tho names of individuals do not appear. There is, however, a long list of names of women who pay taxeB on very large sums, ranging from 8100,000 to 8500,000 or more.
LINCOLN'S MAIDEN SPEECH.
It Wan Short and Simple and Went Straight to the i'olut. A citizen of Buffalo has found among his papers an account of tho circumstances under which Abraham Lincoln made his maiden speech. It was originally printed in the Springfield (111.) Republican, and is as follows: "The president of tho United StateB made his maiden speech in Sangamon county at Pappasville (or Richland) in the year 1832. lie was then a whig and a candidate for the legislature of this state. The speech is sharp and sensible. To understand why it was so short the following facts will show: (1) Mr. Lincoln was a young man, say twenty-two years of age, and timid. (2) Ilis friends and opponents in tho joint discussions had rolled the sun nearly down. Lincoln saw it was not the proper time then to discuss the questions fully, and hence ho cut his remarks short. Probably the other candidates had wholly exhausted the subjects under discussion. The time, according to W. II. Ilerndon's informant—who has kindly furnished this valuable reminiscence for us—was 1832 it may have been The president lived at the time with James A. Ilurdon, at Salem, Sangamon county, who heard the speech, talked about it, and knows tho report to be correct. The speech, which was characteristic of the man, was as follows: 'Gentlemen, Fellow-Citizens: I presume you all know who I am. I am humble Abraham Lincoln. I have been solicited by my friends to become a candidate for the legislature. My politics are short and sweet, like an "old woman's dance." I am in favor of a national bank. I am in favor of the International Improvement system and a high protective tariff. These are my sentiments and political principles. If elected I will be thankful. If defeated it will be all the same.'"
