Elder E. T. Lane, Lebanon, on acount of impaired health is compelled to retire from the ministry, and will remove to Putnam county. He iB well known in

The good citizens' league of Ladoga are fighting the saloons keepers for all there is in it. They will perhaps get tired after they have to pay costs, like the Crawfordsville league some time ago, and nothing has been heard of them since.

The total number of bushels of corn raised this year in Montgomery county is over 3.100,000, and is the largest crop of any county in Indiana. It iB not likely that these high figures will be reached again in many years, as it is much the largest crop ever raised in the county. -." y.

The IndianapoliE Journal of Friday gave the students' society, called the "Ked Dragons" a severe roasting. The members. it is said, have been imbibing too freely. It would be a good idea for Borne of the professors to visit several well known resorts of this city, and perhaps there would be a few of them tired from that institution. "The lied Dragon'1 a dozen or more students styling themselves such, their business being to do anything else than attend to the duties for which they were 6ent to college, seems to be coming to grief. One has been expelled from college and others may follow in that direction if not more careful in their actions hereafter.

A new military company has been organized in this city, and has been enrolled as a part of the State militia by Maj. C. B. Lockwood. How long it will exist none could prophesy. If there is any town that can beat Crawfordsville in the organization of State militia companies and brass bands wo do not know where it is.

HmiU Attain lcfeiite«l. Some time since a justice of the peace of Madison township employed Wilber (J. Houk to defend some poor man. expecting the county to pay Houk for his services. The commissioners would not pay the bill, and Houk has been trying to force them to by suit in the circuit court, where he was defeated, and by appeal to suilreme court, where he was again a loser, as shown by a supreme court decision of last week: 1,1.120.

REMOVING A LANDMARK.

An Old House with a History-

Workmen are now engaged tearing away the chimneys and placing the necessary machinery under the old Major W» itlock house on east Market street, preparatory to its removal some ten rods to the northwest of its present location, where it will front east on Duboise street. It is to be occupied by Frank Maxwell, deputy county auditor, who purchased it a few days ago of Commissioner II. R. Tinsley.

This venerable old white trame house has a history. It was built over sixty years ago, and is one of the very oldest structures in the county. Its oc cupant and builder, Major Ambrose Whitloik. came to Crawfordsville in 1823, and platted and sold the first lots of the then insignificant village of Crawfordsville. This house was occupied by him for fully thirty years, or until his death in Juno 1803. Jt was head quarters for many of the pioneers. Whitlock was the register or receiver of the land office, receiving his appointment a short time before removing here. Ho handled vasts sums of money, both gold and silver, for thc government, and was an individual of the strictest integrity. An o'd citizen, speaking of him, says that he kept immense sums of money for months at a time in the upper part of this house, awaiting for a convenient time to transport it by wagon to Louisville, and from thence east by boat up the Ohio to Washington City, and yet lost none of it. In his final settlement with the government one of the clerks in the treasury department wrote him that he was short and owned the government a small sum yet. \Vhitlock knew better, and although not particularly necessary, went all the way to Washington to prove to them they were wrong. An accurate revised statement showed that instead the government owed him over §10. He refused to accept the balance due him, saying that he could die with the government owing him. and he did. Whitlock was a man of a brusque and autocratic tempera ment, but noted for his unostentatious charity toward the poor, hundreds upon hundreds of whom were the recipients of hie bounty. If he caught any one stealing apples, pears or anything from his placa he would promptly blaze away with a gun loaded with fine shot, beans or anything to cause them to beat a hasty retreat. There are several old gray headed citizens of Crawfordsville, who, kids fifty years ago, could testify to this. Asked for any fruit he would load the applicant down with it, but stealing he would not tolerate. He lived to a great age, dying in his 90th yean and the old white house on the hill is one of the few reminiscences of Major

Whillock yet left.

Tb'-- iliuwbaw Cant- tJiiHtilkd Although the Hinshaw case has been legally settled, for a time at least, and Mr. Hinshaw is safely housed in prison, yet in some localities in Hendricks county it is the sole topic of conversation. Especially is this true at Cartersburg, two and one-half miles from Plainfield. So full are the people of the subject, and so eager to discuss it, that any one called there on business, can scarcely find opportunity to transact it. Friends and enemies alike reside there, and so heated is the diteussion that it is feared that another tragedy will be the outcome. OH) a few days ago a number of the citizens of that place were arrested and lined for assault growing out of this controversy.

from which Bhe received serious spinal injuries. She Bued for damages and received a verdict for several thousand dollars. The case was taken to the Supreme Court and the judgment affirmed. The company will pay it without further process, the judgment amounting with coBts, to over $8,000.

Death of I)ai il MrCrauor. David McCranor, known to a few acquaintances here as he had not resided here a great length of time, died at Hot Springs. Arkansas, on Monday I last. He was a brother of Mrs. Lizzie

Voris. living on south Water street. The remains were brought here and interred at Oak Hill. He waB a single man, aged 57 years. He leaves a fortune to his relatives, having been engaged lgr.many years in mining enterprises.

Whitl ti I'riMim Thinks of Our Juii. This week the police arrested a country fellow from Balhinch and placed him in jail for intoxication. The next morning when ho became sober he looked around and exclaimed to the rest of the prisoners that it was a "vry stout concern and he did not think he could escape.'' This is tho first time he had ever visited tho place..

Keller Trial. Tuesday afternoon the Kellers were brought into court and their case formally set for trial on Monday, the 25th day of November. Although it is well understood that they will take a change of venue, thiB proceeding was necessary to make a correct record. Their demeanor was perfect as to exhibiting any Bigns of nervousness or embarassment, showing as little concern as any one in the court room. They appeared to be in perfect health, in fact Dan and Mag-, gie have gained in Hesh and look the better for their confinement, while Mrs Keller, who has been sick, appears to have regained her normal condition. Where the caBO will go is not certain, but Xewport will be the most favored place. -Rockville Tribune.

The Tvncher'i* ANHUI'IUIIOII. The Montgomery County Teacbero' Association will meet in tho large court room, Friday, Nov. 29, at 10:3C a. ra. The committee has secured good speakers and all who attend will be highly entertained and instructed. These meetings are valuable in many ways and every teacher of the county should be present the entire time. The same membership fee of .ri0 cents will bo charged, although a resolution was passed at the last meeting raising the fee to 75 cents. The committee thought that the former fee would yield sufficient to meet all expenses.

The public is cordially invited to attend thebO meetings,

Will Now Kftflit Pulltimn. All the railroad in tho United States using the Pullman sleeping care aro about to present a unanimous potition to the company to have the price of berths in its sleeping cars lowered at least 25 per cent. The Pennsylvania Railroad Co. has started the war against the Pullman monopolistic rates.

A Wry Narrow KNCU|M:. William Russman, engineer for the Frankfort hoop and heading factory, had a narrow escape from instant death Tuesday morning. He attempted to tighten a loose tap on the engin?, and he was whirled over and over again until every stitch of clothing was torn from his body except his shoes and stockir.gs. He was then thrown entirely away from the machinery. He was rendered unconscious for a short time, but it is thought his injuries are not of a serious,nature. -i:':

LOST A HAND.

Chas. Warren, of Shannondale, Ha3 His Left Hand Taken olf by a Com Husker.

Cbas. Warren, eon of Georg Warren, lost his left hand by getting it caught in acorn husking macnine at his imme near Shannondale on Thursday It seems that the machine got choked up and Warren put his hand in to fix it and was caught. His hand was torn off before the machine could be stopped, and he was drawn in almost to his shoulder. The machine had to be takej down bofore ho could be released. Dr. Ensminger was summoned and dressed the wound. He will probably recover, but it will be a long time before he w.ll bo able to go to work again.

Ihe corn husker is supposed to be a labor saver, but it is also a man killer, as many farmers in this vicinity have been injured by these machines.

This Tickot is not Transferable.

A Noted Cine Itccallcd. D. K. Caldwell, of Frankfort, who waa arrested and convicted of counterfeit* ing, and sentenced to one year's impriBonment at Michigan City, was released last Monday. A petition was circulated and liberally signed three months ago, asking that he be pardoned, but Pre&i dent Cleveland refused. Mr. Caldwell is an intimate friend of sx-CongreBB-^ man Cheadle, and Cheadle did all in his power to have him acquitted at the time of his trial, and was among the first to sign the petition asking that be be par^-^ doned. Mr. Caldwell was a prosperous*— lumberman, and enjoyed an enviable reputation until arrested on the chargo of counterfeiting.
