ANOTHER SUICIDE

TOOK THE LAUDANUM ROUTE

YESTERDAY MORNING.

William Fullen, of Ladoga. Takes a

Dose of the Poison Yesterday Morn

ing and Goes Hence An Interview

with tho Interested Parties.

Yesterday forenoon about 1 o'clock^ alarm was given by some women, resld ing on the west sido of the .Monon rail way, and only a short distance south of the bridge, that a man was dying in a cow pasture, near by, from a dose laudanum solf-administerod. A number of persons at once repaired to the place and found the man groaning in the agonies of death. He was placed in a wagon and a physician called, but died in a few moments. His name was Win, Fullen. and he had formerly resided at and near Ladoga. JI is age was near 'io years. His parents are dead, ile was a nephew of Judge Harney, of this city, and Daniel Stover, of Ladoga. For some years he had led a dissolute life, and last year came here with Sells Jiros' circus looking dirty, ragged and unkempt. When Rarnum's show was hero last week, be was around town, looking much betier, well dressed and contented. Only a short time ago, he contracted an unfortunate marriage with a woman named Curtis, whose reputation was far from spotless, she having previously been married to a man named Whitney, who abandoned her at Lafayette. Fullen seemed charmed with the "graces" of tho woman and married her at LaPorte last Wednesday, while tho bride was under the inlluence of liquor. The marriage, as in most such cases, was unfortunate for Fullen. They quarreled and disagreed soon after. Remorse at his conduct, it is thought, made him miserable ana morose, and rather than face the scofTs of the world, he supposed, it is believed, that his best plan would be togetout of it, and hedid. On his person was found a gold watch and a small sum of money. Funeral to-morrow at Ladoga.

INTKKVIKW.

A RRVIF.W representative called on Hetty Ilolloway, better known as Betty Plush, who runs the house near by and where the couple spent the night. Tho following is the interview:

Rep.—Where was the deceased found? Ans.—"He was found about one block west of the house with a half pint bottle tilled with laudanum by his side, and all of it taken but about three or. fuur tabTespoonfuls."

Hep.—Do you think he was in the habit of taking such a deadly drug? A us.--"Think he was, as he aiways carried it with him

Hep.— Do you tink he took it to end his life? Ans.- "We think it was an overdone, but do not know. After breakfast, ho made some very funny remarks and stated ho was going over and lie in the shade- and to come there if they wanted him. One of the girls went over and found him in a dying condition. A physician was summoned hut could do no go good."

THE GHOST

Never Walk Again-Five Hundred

Crawfordsville People Visit the

Place, and Return Very Late.

Wednesday evening about 500 people from this city, went to see tho mucht.liked uf ghost, about two miles west of Whitesville, near the Ladoga road. 1 hey failed to see anything after waiting until after midnight. Every livery rig in the city was engaged beside quite a number of private rigs and a number of bicycles. The ghost is supposed to he George Anders, the burglar, who was shot by Mont Fisher, at Whitesville, some years ago. The farmers IM that vicinity say they have never seen anyting and have watched night after night for it. The Crawfordsville people sa) they will never be worked again to go and look at it.

-MoiitKouiery COIHUV L"nir. As our readers are all aware two weeks from Tuesday, Sept.. the Montgomery Agricultural Society will throw open their gates to the public for one of the best fairs ever held in the state. For the past four weeks tho gentlemen who have the lair hero here in charge have devoted their time to attending the fairs in adjoiuing counties and looking after the interests of tho fair and inviting and urging exhibitors to bring their goods here. The result has been more than satisfactory to the managers, and they are now confident that the displays in all the departments this year will be better than than they have been for a uumber of years. The horse races as usual will be one of tho main features of the fair, whilo this will be added to by three or four exciting aud interesting bicycle races.

The remains were taken to Attica for burial, Rev.J. T. Tuttle oflieiating.

The Terre Haute Express give the following of last week game played in this city. They were completely worked out:

Terre Hauto defeated Grand Rapids in tho exhibiton game at Crawfordsville yesterday, and but for rough grounds would have shut them out again. Jerry Xops pitched the game, allowing the ''Blackbirds" but four hits. It wasn't a game for blood, however. Xobs pitching easy, and the Grand Rapids players exhibiting little or no ginger. Tho locals were nearly all out of their positions. Carney played third, ilartnian. tirst Xiland. second (iilFord, left: Weddege, center and Xie, of Grand Rapids right. Oiitcalt was behind tho bat. Gilke played second base for Grand Rapids, "liumpus" Jones was ou third, and Deacon Ml I is' brother on lirst. Cassidy umpired. About fi00 people saw tho .game which resulted in a score of 21 to

Harry Pearson, who played tirst base for the bartenders, put on his "Trilby uniform." armed with a ball bat, a muzzle and a eatchi.Ng glove, went to hunt the ghost, who resides near Whitesville. "fat succeeded in booking a game with the ghost and the otner eight to bo played next Sunday, at the junction park. Harry says he imported him to this county at a great expense, (2 cents). He will lie placed on exhibition in the Academy of Music. "Fat" will fireside at the hand organ, and render charming music, such as .'When the Hobbins Ncnt Again." "After the Rail" and many other of the latest songs of the day.

At the last examination for teacher's licenses, there were 91 who took examination and the licenses were granted as follows: Fi.'e for 5 months, 13 for 12 months, 1 for 21 months and 03 failed. Supt.

1895.

111M Lnhl nr Pcrhnim. The Cincinnati Enquirer correspondent from this place says that several members of tho Methodist church of thiB place have withdrawn from the church on account of the activity displayed by Rev. Tucker, as president of tho "Good Citizens' Leaguo" in urging tho Sunday closing movement. When you touch a man's pocket book you strike his most vital part. Rut tho Lord help such Christians who condemn a man for doing what he believes to be right and for tho welfare of the community, but datnn those other members of the "League" who seek to make him a scape goat and dodge out from any responsibility. The Christianity of any church member is not very deep who may be pecuniarily injured through the efforts ef any man to make the community better, and after Hev. Tucker leaves here for another Held and they come sneaking back to the church their reception should be anything but cordial. in fact they should remain on the probation bench a long time. It is quite probable that Hev. Tucker is serving his last year here, and at tho next conference will bo assigned to some other charge. At the samo time outsiders should protest against tho opinions and wishes of thoso opposed to Hev. Tucker simply because he has not hesitated to express his views and done his duty as he saw it, through which course it has not been satisfactory to them from a financial standl«)int. Kilter Poverty's Work.

The noed of means even when death pays a visit to the family circle, and poverty stalks into the household was certainly fully illustrated in the family of John Conliite. formerly of this city, but now residing in Greencastlo. Their infant child died on Monday and tho arrangements were made to bury it in the Masonic cemetery hore. A brother of Conkrite spent all his available means in bringing the remains, but tho sexton's services for digging tho grave and a carriage to take tho family to the cemetery had not been provided for, and for a time it seemed that the township trustee would have to be called upon for aid. Finally Charles McCoytook up a collection suflicient—three or four persons contributing—to have tho interment completed. It would 6eem that the churches of Greencastle which every year contribute money '-to the poor heathen in a foreign land," would do a moro sensible thing by aiding tho poor in their own vicinity for

few

seasons, and let the "foreign" fellow rest for a time,

Kov. HiekuuiiK The last quarterly conference of the First Methodist church was held at the church building, corner of Seventh and Poplar streets last night. Tho assembled officials of the church, including the board of trustees and the teachers ol the Sunday school wore unanimously in favor of retaining Rev. Hickman for another year and a resolution was adopted to that effect.

The annual conference will be held at Valparaiso during the second week in September, when the placing of niinistors will take place. Rev. Hickman is satisfied in bis present location and also tho congregation is satisfied with tho pastoral work of Mr. llickman, and efforts will bo made to hold hi in here.--T. 11. Gazette.

The Good Citizens 1 ,oague of Crawfordsville have started in to reform that town, and are enforcing tho Sunday closing act. Last Sunday you could not buy a cigar or a package of Hiawatha, aud a Monon newsboy who sold a paper was arrested. Tho livery stables were closed tight, and a plumber who went to stop a gas leak was hauled up for following his "usual avocation." There are lots of good people in this world, and then there aro a few —-—Frankfort News.

Denili ol John Itrouh. John Brogh, living near Waynetown, who had Ins neck broken some three week's ago, died Sunday night. His case has bathed many eminent physicians and specialists. He could not take any kind of nourishment and was unconscious nearly all the time. It was a very peculiar case, he funeral occurred Monday.

this committee, composed of comrades Travis, Leech, and Tinsley, have been at work, and report most flattering prospects. They have engaged 150' free quarters in a nice camp, each man to have a good eot

fortable quarters, plenty of good water and meals to be had al 2:» cents each at the camp. The names of all who jointhi' battalii are Loing arranged for publication, giving the company and regiment of each soldier, and tho committee is anxious to completothis list as soon as possible, so that if the l.)0 free quarters now engaged aro not suflicient for thoso who want free quarters they can arrange with the encampment rommittee at Louisville for additional free quarters. It is probablo that there will be at least 250 in tho battalion, as the veterans from several of the adjoining counties have signified their intention of joining at the uni®n station at 1 ndianapolis, in the forenoon of Sept. 10, and going with tho battalion to Louisville about noon of that day.

The faro from hore via Indianapolis is' 6.'S..T round trip, tickets good to Oct. 5. If any road makes a less rate, the samo will be made by tho Big Four.

Ever since the new tax law went into effect there has been a disposition in several counties to ignore the authority of the state tax board. Four years agoa few counties whose valuations were increased by the state board did not put on the tax duplicate the full amount of the increase made. Tho state board will ask the attorney general to compel these counties to add to tho tax dnplicate the full amount of tho increase made four years ago. The total valuation of all tho lands and improvements and personal property in tlie state last year was 81,112,709,198. The totaL amount returned by the county assessing oflicers this ear was §1,099,334,052: The state board discovered that the failing oil" waB largely in real estate, and in equalizing tlie appraisement in the various counties it has increased the valuation fixed by the local officers enough to bring the total above what it was one year ago. In l.sJl the total valuation in the state was §1,088,998,.122, almott as much as that returned by tho assessing oflicers this year.

Many building associations havefaileu to make their reports to the Statu* Auditor, as required by law, and this oflicial is now sending out copies of the law bearing on the question, with the information that .'onger delay will subject the delinquent associations to a fino of £100. A failure to file a report of tho condition of the association also calls for an ei.forced examination under ths direction of the Auditor.

The Veteran Battalion, to bo com-masck-d by Gen. Lew Wallace at the Louisville national encampment of the G. A. R„ bids'fair to bo one of tho prominent features of the encampment. Free quarters have been secured for 150, a fine banner is being made in Chicago, and everything looks promising for the battalion. Tho veterans of this and adjoining counties are joining'rapidly.
