An Encampment Episode.

In details of the encampment last week in the Sentinel in referring to the movements about the reviewing stand the following incident relating to Crawfordsvillo's most noted citizen is published: "It was not very long after this little episode that an old gentleman, assisted and supported by two younger men, ascended the grand stand from the Deleware street end, and was helped slowly along to a seat near the reviewing stand. He sat in quietude and from molestation for perhaps a half hour, when an aged man, sitting not far away, said: "If ever God put courage in the heart of a man and created a hero, there he is.' "Who is he?' asked a lady.

GEN. MANSON.

'Who is he, madam?' asked the old man, with an air of utter amazement. 'Who is he? Why, that is Gen. Mahlon D. Manson, the hero of two ware, and I think I ought to know, for I followed the flash of

hiB

sword at Chapultepec,

and I was in his division in the army of the Cumberland.' The old gentleman spoke well, for on his breast he bore a badge which told the story of Bervice in the Mexican war and right above it the "heart" of the twenty-fourth corps.

It was not long until Gen. Manson received Gen. WeisBert's card, with the request that he come to the reviewing stand. With steps enfeebled by age and the effects of wounds received in batlle, Gen. Manson rose up, gave his hand to a young lady back of him, stepped with a painful slowness over the back of a chair to the floor and was assisted to a seat by the sido of Gen. Harrison in the reviewing stand."

Died in the (Jarriaire.

The infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Tolliver Hawkins died very suddenly Tuesday morning. The baby had been sick and Mrs. Hawkins had taken it in its carriage to see a doctor. While return ing home on Wabash Avenue, near Center church, it suddenly took worso and died in a few minutes.

Crawfordsvllle,

Can't Last Until Christmas. In one of the little box Btalle.in the hospital of the northern prison a Sentinel man recently found Rev. Fred W. Pettit, the alleged wife poisoner, in a critical and most pitiful condition. Prostrated from an almost fatal surgical operation and wheezing with every respiration from a large ulcer on one of his lungs, he was indeed an object of pity. He is emaciated until he can hardly totter across the room and his clothes flop loosely about his bony physique, "Oh, if the Supreme Court will only hurry up a Jecision of my case," he said. nd I can got back into the mild climate and congenial surroundings of central Indiana I may live several years but if 1 have to stay here I can't live till Christmas."

And he spoke prophetic words. He is certainly a very sick man, has been so for a year and he has not enough constitution left to tide him over but a short time longer.—Rochester Sentinel.

Reform League At Work.

The Montgomery County Reform League performed its first actual labor this week. When the commissioners court convened Monday it filed several remonstrances which were presented by Crane & Anderson and were signed by Dr. T. J. Griffith who appears as plaintiff Th«se on whom open war is declared is "Tade and Dan's place," John M. Layno and Charles F. Peters. The remonstrance states that those men have been often fined for selling liquor to minors and other violations of the law, that that they are not men of good, moral character and under the statute of Indiana should be refused license. Rev. 3. Inglis. President of the League, has the matter in hand and will prosecute the cases diligently. J. M. Seller will appear for the defendants and a great time in looked for to-day in the Commissioners' court.

Amoung the list of those injured at Indianapolis Wednesday the Sentinel says: "Jesse Xelser of Darlington, Ind., hand injured by Big Four train taken from Mississippi and Third-sta. to city hospital second and third fingers amputated."

Knocked Down and Bobbed.

Samuel M. Walters, of near New Richmond, was knocked down and robbed near Walkup & McFarland's bus barn Wednesday night about 11 o'clock. Mr. Walters and his two daughters had returned from the encampment at Indianapolis on the evening train and repaired to the Sherman House to spen,j the night. About 11 o'clock the old gentleman started for a little walk and when in front of. the bus barn he met five young men who without a word instantly seized him and dragged him down the alley. Mr. Walters fought viciously but he was no match for the young bucks who soon knocked him insensible and robbed his pockets of $15— all that he had. Walters says he could not recognize any of his assailants and does not know whether they wereblackB or whites. This is pretty bold work right in the heart of the city.

Weather Crop Eeport.

^Lhe drouth continued over the greater portion of the State and sufficient showers to do good fell only over very few fields in the southern portion. The average temperature was below the normal with cool nights and not very warm days. Uninterrupted sunshine pervailed every day. Corn is turning yellow and the ears on late planted fields are still soft and undeveloped, and even should good rains come soon they would not improve the corn much in most localities. Vegetation lookB dusty and withered and the leaves on the trees are browning and falling. Water is getting more scarce every day, and farmers commenced to feeil their stock, as the pastures are ruined. Light frosts occurred in some few localities on Wednesday morning, doing no injury.

McGuffin Ae^in Gets In Jail,

Julian McGuffin, of New Ross, whose abnormal appetite for alcoholic beverages is preponderous, and Hugh Mullen, a festivo companion, were up before the thorny throne of justice Tuesday morning. They had inbibed too freely of Market street chemicals Monday night and were arrested while amusing a crowd by Binging a temperance duet. McGufllni who toils not, neither does he Bpin, of course was broke, and was given luxuriant quarters with Sheriff Davis. Mullen had money and paid and daring tho excitement almost succeeded in choving a counterfeit silverdollaron the unsuspecting Mayor.

INDIANA'S HEAVY MAN.

He Lives in Danville, Hendricks Oounty, And Weiehs 900 Pounds. Danville, Hendricks county, Ind., is willing to lay big odde, says the Evansville Courier, that there isn't another place on the face of the earth that boasts a citizen whose thinest summer stockings weigh three pounds, and who earned $1,000 when he was only two years old. Danville has just Buch a citizen, and he is John H. Craig Mr. Craig is 37 years old now, and is 6 feet 5 inches tall and weighed last week 906 pounds.

When he was born he weighed only 11 pounds, but when he was two years old he had grown to be such a likoly boy that his proud parents were not backward in entering him as a contestant for P. T. Barnum's prize of $1,000 for the fattest baby that could be shown at Barnum's historic baby show in' 1858. Master Craig won the purse, as he puts it now, "hands down." At the age of 21 the combined weight of three 200 pound men was loss than his weight, but he was only allowed to vote once. On that day he weighed 651 pounds. He has never weighed less than 755 pound since he was 22 years old, and at his present rate of increase will send the scales skyward at 1,000 pounds within a year.

It requires a pound and a half of yarn to make each one of the robust citizen's socks, and no tailor can make him a suit of clothes out of IOBS than forty yards of cloth. He has a chest measurement of ninety-six inches and four inches more than that around his hips. His thighs measure thirty-six inches, around his leg below the knee twenty-nine inches and his ankle eighteen inches. |He can wear a twenty-one collar, but prefers a twenty-five inch one. Some 160 pound men have bigger wives than Mr. Craig's wife is, and his three-year-old boy hasn't any more points about him as to size than any three-year-old boy for whose father Citizen Craig's vest wouldn't be too small for overcoat.

Indiana Day at the Pair. ~D The Indiana state world's fair commission has finally decided upon Wednesday, Sept. 27, as Indiana day at the fair. Executive Commissioner Havens has notified Director General Davis of this decision and also sent the informa^tion broadcast throughout' the Hoosier state. It is the intention of the comraision to rival and, if possible, excel the great attendance on Illinois day at the fair, The railroad companies traversing Indiana have agreed to cooperate with low rates, and there will be special features on the Hoosier state day that are expected to bring an enormous crowd to the fair.

Probate Court.

Marshal A. Brown has been oppointed guardian of Dora Brown's heirs. H. M. Billings has been appointed guardian of Charles H. Hartsock, minor heir of I. P. Hartsock, deceased.

The court has appointed Charles Gilbert guardian of his daughter, Josephine M. Gilbert, a minor heir of the R. A. Fullenwider estate.

By. order of the court Wm. M. Hampton is appointed assignee of the Butler & Hampton hardware stock at Darlington, the firm having assigned last week.

John and 01a.

There is trouble in the house of Harris. This was made evident last Monday when John filed a suit for divorce from his wife, Ola. One is led to be lieve from the complaint that Ola has treated John in an outrageous manner. She positively refused to support him and when he demurred she would amuse herself by pushing him in the face. Many times, he says, she had grabbed him by the throat with one and then threw the other one in his face. John wants an absolute divorce but refrains from asking for alimony.

Another Hydrophobia Victim. The sixth victim of the mad dog that created so much excitement in the Clements neighborhood, three miles southeast of the city, along in July, succumbed last Saturday night. It was a horse belonging to William Zackery and it is said the animal's sufferings were something terrible. Tho week before Tom Mason lost two hogs which were bitten by the same dog. There are two or three other animalB in the neighborhood that are Known to have been bitten by the do? and they are heing closely watched.

A Difference of Opinion.

Monday morning when Sheriff Davis presented his bill to the County Commissioners for boarding prisonors, Mr. Fullen entered a protest which he sustained beyond question by a correct interpretation of the law. The new law btates that the sheriff shall receive $2,250 for hiB services and no more and no provision is made for boarding prisoners. The law is plain and Mr. Fullen was in favor of following it out to the letter but Messrs. Byers and Peterson decided otherwise and tho bill was allowed.

BIQ FIGHT IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS ENDED.

Gladstone Cacrlea Hli Maaaare Through By a Tot* of 301 to 867—The Agod Premier Given an Ovation on Hia

W»t to the House.

LONDON Sept. 2.—Mrl Gladstone's long home rule fight in the ho^ise of commons is ended. The bilt was passed at 1 o'clock this morning by 301 to 207. It was hurried to the house of lords, which gave the first reading and adjourned.

There wss unusual animation along the route from Mr. Gladstone's residence to the house of commons yester day afternoon. The streets wen crowded with people who wished to yet a glimpse of the great champioa

3aere

Irish home rule, and although was no organized demonstration the prime minister was cheered throughout the route. At Mr. Gladstone's rosidence two policemen had been stationed at the door to keep feack the crowd that packed the sidewalks and escort Mr. Gladstone to his carriage, *nd an extra force of policemen was on duty along the route to prevent the people from interfering irith traffic.

The galleries of the house began to dll up long before the sitting opened. There was a noticably large number of ladies present and the galleries presented an unusually brilliant appearance. Members were remarkably prompt in their attendance and the desire to learn the nature of the government's expected announcement was everywhere manifest Among the members who arrived late was Mr. Joseph Chamberlain. He was accompanied by his wife, whe wsa formerly Miss Edicott of Boston. Mr. Chamberlain passed through the crowd unnoticed.

It was 4 p. m. when Mr. Gladstone left his residence. He was announced by loud cheers from the throngs near his residence. Shortly afterwards his carriage appeared in sight to the crowds that lined the streets. Mr. Gladstone was accompanicd by his wife. He wore a white azalea in the buttonhole of his coat. He was evidently much pleased with the heartiness of the greeting which he received from the populace. The cheering was continuous, every man lifting his hat as the carriage passed, while the women waved handkerchiefs. Mr. Gladstone bowed constantly to the crowds on both sides of the road In acknowledgment of the plaudits. His reception was a complete ovation, with •o mark of dissent to mar it.

As Mr. Gladstone, with bared head, passed through the crowd and entered the house it was noticed that his face was very pale. A number of Irish priests wers prominent in the crowd in front of the house and lifted their Hats as the prime minister passed them. The prime minister was loudly cheered by his followers as he entered the house and walked to hia seat. The galleries also gave him a warm greetinsr.

WOULD BUILD A PANTHEON.

Bartholdi Venires to Make Bedloe'a Island Still More Ornato. NEW YORK, Sept. 7.—To August E. Bartholdi America is already indebted for the impressive statue in the upper bay. His creative brain has conceived another project about which he is already enthusiastic. M. Bartholdi has Ion? been considering the idea of establishing an American pantheon on Bedloe's island. The center piece of the pantheon would lie the towering statue of Liberty, while at the base would be placed the colossal statues of Washington and Lafayette, which the artist is now exhibiting at Chicago, and the long list of American statesmen and heroes in peace and war could be represented by appropriate statuarv. M. V'vrtholdi was serenaded last night a* his hotel—the Martin, in University place.

HARD ON THE JUDGES.

Doomed to Laneulah iu Jail for Failure to Carry an Election. Kansas City, Sept. 7.—The three judges of the county court of St. Clair countj', Missouri, returned here yesday an.i went back to jail for contempt of the United States district court for refusing to order a tax levy to pay bonded indebtedness of the county to construct a railway that was never built. The judges were released from jail during the spring on a furlough to order a special election ior the purpose of compromising the matter. The proposition was defeated. This ends the matter so far as the present judges are concerned, for Jud^e Phillips can take no further action in the case, and the judges will remain in jail until 1805, when their sentence will be completed.
