MISPLAUED CONFIDENCE.

Bob Stump, of Balhinch, Nurses a Viper in His BosomReligious and social circles in aesthetic Balhinch are all agog with excitement over the disgracefnl conduct of a man whom they had welcomed and accepted a9 tho minister of their church and loader in things socially. Some two months ago a man with a clerical appearance presented himself to tho trustees of Salem Baptist church and introduced himself as' E. F. Volkenburg, claiming to have been assigned to the Salem church by the high officials of the Baptist State Board. Being a man of fine appearance and smooth tongue, he was received with open arms and no one had the audacity to ask him for his commission or credentials, but accepted both as a matter of course. For three or four Sundays ho expounded the word of God in a highly satisfactory manner. Then a little incident occurred which caused Brother Volkenburg to drop about fifty degrees in the estimation of his flock. He visited Rev. Hamilton of the United Brethren church, and invited the minister and his congregation to visit his church. This is common courtesy among preachers and Rev. Hamilton gladly accepted the invitation. Evidently this was just what Mr. Volkenburg wanted for after the congregation was seated he oponed Tip his mud guns and turned thorn squarely into tho ranks of the United Brethren. He said that hell was yawning for U. B. worshipers, that when tho judgement day arrived tho place would be so full their legs would be sticking ,hrough the crevices. Th* tirade grow so hot and disgusting that most of tho congregation left before the speaker was half through. This sermon aroused the suspicion of tho trustees and an investigating committee was organized to learn the new ministers truo status. Tho committee was not long in learning that tho preacher was paying too much attention to one of tho fair sisters and in a manner not strictly in keeping with Balhinch's social code. Then it dawned upon their minds that Volkenburg was perhaps a fraud and had no commision from tho Baptist church. Things were getting pretty warm for tho preacher and ho quietly arranged to seek other pastures. Among his parishioners Volkenburg had a woman and faithful friend in the person of Robt. Stump who was willing to stand by tho preacher in the dark hour of his adversity.

Going to Bob he borrowed that gentleman's watch while he came to this city to secure papers which were to set him right in the eyes of his flock and forever close the mouths of his enemies. The rest of the story is soon told:* The preacher is gone, so is Bob's watch, and a Solom church is without a minister,

A Female Scrap.

Last Monday morning Misses Maude Toney and Gertrude Gerbrick, precocious young damsels who spend their leisure hours in gamboling on Goose Nibble's green commons, were up before tho Mayor charged with participating in a merry rough and tumble fight. The testimony developed the fact that the scrap was due to defamatory reports circulatod by one, Jimmie Blaine McKinsey, in regard to Miss Gerbrick's chastity. To have her character thus assailed so incensed tho festive Gertrude that Bhe set out on tho war path Sunday afternoon with a fixed determination to chastise her defamer. She ran across the fair James as that young man was descending the marble steps of tho Toney mansion, after making his regular Sunday afternoon call and the way she wont after the young fellow should stand as a warning to all despoilers of woman's character. She beat, scratched and kicked him and was preparing to stamp his remains into the ground when Miss Toney flew to her lover's rescue. Hastily grabbing a club she dealt Gertrude a neat but healthy blow on the cranium which laid the young lady out for keeps." Miss Gerbrick was [still suffering from a sovere headache when she appeared before the Mayor. His worthy highness administered some Bound advice to all parties concerned and then discharged them.

Women at the World's Fair. Mrs. Prof. Campbell has received £a letter from Mrs. May Wright Sewall, of the Board of Lady Managers of the World's Fair requesting her to arrange for a meeting of the women of Crawfordsville to arouse interest in the great Chicago exhibition. Mrs. Campbell brought the matter up at the meeting of the Athenian yesterday and by general consent it was turned over to Mrs. J. M. Waugh as a person eminently qualified to make the proposed meeting a success. In her letter Mrs. Sewall said that whenever the ladies decided upon date for the meeting Mrs. Harrell, of Brookville, and Miss Williamson would come here to address those in attend-ance.—-Journal.

Dirty Work.

Crane & Anderson have filed in the circuit court a complaint for injunction and mandamus forbidding the clerk, sheriff and auditor from proceeding under tho apportionment act of 1891 or that of 1885 on the ground that both of such acts are unconstitutional, and Girecting the clerk to issue his certificate, tho sheriff to publish notices and the auditor to furnish blanks, poll bookB, etc., under and pursuant to the apportionment act of 1879. Under the act of 1879 this county has one senator and one representative. The suit is brought in the name of the State of Indiana on the relation of John S. Brown, and the complaint iB exactly similar to the one recently filed in the circuit court at Newcastle. In this last suit Judge Bundy held the acts of 1891 and 1885 unconstitutional, and directed the officers there to proceed under the act of 1879.

A Vicious Fight.

In a cuttiug affray at Now Richmond last Friday night Charley Brown nearly lost his life at the hands of three drunken men whose names wo were unable to secure. The assault occurred in front of Jake Burns' saloon and was made wholly without provocation. Brown's throat was badly lacerated, an eye was almost gouged out, whilo his face, arms and breast wero hacked in a frightful manner. Mr. Brown's injuries will confine him to his bed for sometime to come. The assailants escaped and havo not yot been arrested.

A New Republican Paper.

It is authentically reported that tho new paper to be launched at Waynetown this week will bo run in the interest of the republican party during the present campaign. Our informant says that Postmaster Bonnell was present at the christening and left sufficient "pap" to keep the infant alive until tho election after which time it will be turned out into a cold and merciless world to shift for itself. If this is truo the child will find slim picking in good old democratic Wajne.
