A NOTED CHARACTER

In Crawfordsville's Early History

Dies This Week at Logansport.

One of the most noted, odd and comical characters ever known in Crawfordsville, Hunibal Purcell, died at his home in Logansport on Monday last in the 83th year of his age. Purcell left here eome thirty years ago and has never visited the scenes of his earlier days. Old citizens who know bim well delight to tell of his eccentric ways and conduct, and it has been a subject of regret that he never visited here, although only a short distance away. As a hotel keeper, auctioneer, showman, etc., his odd style and brusque manner weie continued subjects for gossip and amusement to tho citizens of Crawfordsville previous to the war and for a short time afterwards. He WBB an energetic man, fighting thw battle of life bravely although in a financial sense he never at any time possessed much property. He was stout and active, and it is Baid of him, how truthful, we know not, that on one occasion he swam the Wababh from Logansport to Delphi, a distance of nearly twenty miles. Eider M. M. VanCleave of this city, is a brother-in-law of Purcell, and he has a newhew or two living here. Two years ago he challenged any man over 75 years to a half mile foot race at Logansport, but none of them accepted it.

A NICE LITTLE STOftY,

By Which John C. Wartipler is to

Come in Possession of $50,000

The Enquirer correspondent of (his city publishes the following neat bit of fiction. It is hardly necessary to state th ii the entire story is believed to 1)9 a fir^-t class y,tro, and that John has jollied some one in good style:

Things will come my way some of 1 heee dave," said John Wampler on the eve of his deparature for the west six wrp|{q ago. Just before leaving Warnpier married Miss Mollie Roberts, a supposed orphan girl.

While making a tour of the lead mines section of Missouri laBt week Mr. Wampler writes that he ran across a Jas. Roberts,a wealthy miner, who turns out to bo his father-in-law, Roberts went West 20 years ago, leaving his infant daughter with relatives in Illinois. The fates were against him for 10 years, but finally be struck the lead regions and the tide turned. 1

He struck it rich and began looking for hie daughter, but the relations had died and removed, and although he spent thousands of dollars he could never find a trace of her. He was great, ly overjoyed at the unexpected reunion in Missouri and showed his gratification by presenting his daughter with $50,000 in cash as a wedding gift.

V'y-U", Cremated.

The body of Scott Jackson, one of the murderers of Pearl Bryan, waB cremated within twelve hours of his execution at Newport, Ky., last Saturday. The Cincinnati Enquirer regarding the cremation Bays "It was the desire of Mrs. Jackeon that the body of her son should be cremated. She is a hjghly strung, nervous and proud woman, even though events have taken place that would bumble the pride of any ordinary person. Ever since it was decided that her boy had but little chance of escaping the gallows there has been more or lesB talk of where hie remains should be interred. When it was suggested that they were to be taken to Greencaetle and laid to rest in the same cemetery in which the mutilated body of Miss Bryan sleeps there was a general outcry on the part of the people of that town. So wrought up did they become that it jwas officially announced by the directors of the cemetery that interment would not be permitted there. It is not kq,own that

Mrs. Jackson or her daughter ever seriously contemplated burying their son and brother there. It is not likely that the senitive woman would care to have his resting place pointed out as the grave of a murderer. As it now stands the ashes will be placed in a small urn that can be carried about at will or quietly deposited in the family lot at Bome future time whon public feeling ha6 become more charitable.

Not Here.

Concerning Will Wood, who was the direct cause of the murder of Pearl Bryan, and the execution of the murderers last Saturday nt Newport, Ky: the Cincinnati Enquirer says:

Will Wood is at present located in Crawfordsville, Ind., where a watchful eye is kept on his movements.

This undoubtedly is an error. Will Wood has not been in Crawrordsville for over a year. He is a couBin, we understand, of Mr. McKee, the feed and flour dealer, on South Washington Btreet, and has other relatives in this county, but none of these people have seen him for a year or more, \fter his release by the court from his short imprisonment for his connection with the Pearl Bryan affair, he wisely left Putnam county for future safety, and it is generally un. derstood ie in Michigan, studying for the practice of medicine.

Death of Francis Nichols.

Francis Nichols, the well-known harness maker, for many years with Orn baun & Son. died on Sunday evening last, at his residence on south Grant avenue. The deceased has suffered for over a year with a cancer upon his face, which finally resulted in his death. His ag« was G7 years. 13e leaves a wife and four cbildreu to mourn his demise. His remains were interad in Oak Hill on Tuesday.

stponed.

In the divorce suit of Mollie Smalley vs. Riley D. Smalley, from Waveland which was docketed for trial on, Monday, the attorneys for the defendant secured a postpnnment of it until the April term of cjurt. There were about 30 witnesses present, ell of whom claimed fees for attendance, and some body will have a big lull to foot before the matter is finally ejttled.

Will Appeal.

56TH YEAR.- NO 3

WANT TO BE SUPERINTENDENTS.

A goodly Number of Candidates and

the Race Getting Interesting.

The legislature having failed toabol•sh the office of coun'y Fchool tuperintendent or reduce the salary, the list of candidates has, if anything, increased, as they now number very nearly one for each townehip. Some of them have been figuring for tho place quietly for a year or more while others have only lately coi,eluded that the office would about fit them. The following is the latest revised list of candidates:

George Brewer, Crawfordsville. Prof. W. T. Fry, Crawfordsville. Eph Vanscoyoc, CrawfordsvilleW. W. Ewing, Crawfordsville. Jos. Kennedy,Crawfordsville. O. H. Grist, Darlington. A. W. Cave, Darlington. C. A. Kliser, Waveland. Arthur Fraley, Linden. W. B. Walkup, Mace.. The man to succeed must get the six republican trustees to vote for him. On the first ballot, of course, none of them can do this, and it ie probable that tome ef them will withdraw before the day of election, the first Monday of June.

George Brewer wae selected two years ago, but waa not permitted to assume the duties of the office on account of a court decision which prevented it. He considers, no doubt, that under the circuDistances he has prior claim on account of it, but whether the trustees will view it in that light remains to be Been. He is a good school man and amply efficient to perform its duties, but the fact that he has been out of the school work for a year ie urged by his opponents against him.

Kliser, the Waveland man, occupies a peculiar position in the fact that he is a township trustee. Would be vote for himBelf, or can he be legally allowed to are eome questions for him to answer. If not, ho certainly cannot secure th* entire six trustees of bis party, and therefore will fail of an election.

Some of the republicans eay that if there is a cuucus held before the balloting beginB that Fraley will receive the nomination. There are five democratic trustees, and unless there is a split up among the republicans their votes will not figure in the conteBt.

Our Own "Rochester." Many here remember Rochester ltobb who at one time was engaged on theDaily Dispatch and afterwards engaged with Jno. L. Goben in the real estate business in Music Hall block. He left hfere ten years since. A Washington City correspondent.of the Indianapolis News savs of him:

Rocb F. Robb, formerly of Crawfordsville and Indianapolis, who came hersas chief of a division of the Treasury Department under the Harrison administration, was dropped by Secretary Carlisle, as soon as he was warm in his seat, for being a republican. He is engaged in newspaper work, and was in Texaa during the past presidential campaign with ex-Chairman Nelson Huston trying to carry that State for McKinley

Cpming April 1st.

The eminent tragedian, Thomas W. Keene, accompanied by Charles B. Hansford and a company or selected actors, will be at Music Ilall, Thursday night. "Richelieu" will be produced on this occasion. Mr. Keene, who 111 the natural and legitimate successor of Edwin Booth, has given careful study to the several characters of his plays and feels* a sympathy with each character he portrays. In Richelieu and Shylockthe cunning of the former and tho vindictivenesa of the latter have never been more powerfully presented,
