Recovering.

Mrs. Will Thompson, who was two weeks ago to-day, is gradually recovering from her injury, and, it is thought now, will be entirely restored to health in short time. She is able to sit up and walk around the house, and if she continue.-: to improve may be tnken soon to the home of her parents in Darlington. There is no one more pleased to learn of tier probable recovery than Thompson, and he repeatedly asks as to her condition. Her recovery, no doubt, lessens to some extent the punishment to him, although that he will receive a sentence of some years in the southern prisoD, there seems no question .:-

{•Death of Charles Callehan.

Charles Callehan, aged 35 years, died at the residence of his mother, on east Market street, on Wednesday evening, alter an illness six weeks.

On Thursday Nov. 4 the Crawfordsville Gun Club will give an all day shoot at its ground, north-west of the city. The event of the day will be the contest between Whitney Thompson, of Lafayette, and E. V. Tripp, of Indianapolis, lor the Grand Hotel challenge cup now held by Mr. Thompson.

The franchise, iron, ties, and power house of the proposed Clodfelter electric railway, between Marion and Anderson, is to be sold by the receiver on the 15th of November. This lots Clodfelter entirely out of it, and all his work in behalf oi the enterprise has come to nothing.

Gone to Oregan.

Charles Robinson, son of George Rob.neon, has gone to Portland, Ore., to locate and get iuto business. Charley was for a long time connected with the express company here, and is

Tolla

ble, honest, and affable in his conduct, and will, wo believe, succeed.

A FAKE FIGHT.

Cory and Tierney Fail In Their En

gagement.

The fifty or more sports from this city, who journied to Covington to witness a prize light between Ed. Cory and Jack Tierney, of Frankfort, were badly disappointed, as it failed to como off. There was quite a crowd of the fancy, also, from Danville, Frankfort, and other places, but their going was useloss. A ring was pitched on a farm just over the State line in Illinois, and Cory was ready at once. Tierney for a long time kept himself away from the crowd, but finally appeared. He refused to enter the ring until, as he said, he had seen tho 8400 purse that was to be contested for. Cory offered then to light for what had been taken in on tickets sold, but Tierney would not assent. Cory about this time began to get excited, and offered to fight for the cigars, or even anything, but his opponent had not come there to fight, it was evident, and did not. lie had, as tho fancy term it, a big 6treak of yellow in his blood, meaning that he was afraid of his opponent. After a vast amount of wrangling the crowd finally dispersed, most of them having paid from 84 to SG for seeing nothing. It would be difficult to disappoint a crowd like this again. They consider Tierney a coward, and in sporting circles he has lost caste, if there is any nuch thing as caste in the business.

Will Bring Suit.

Henry K. Lee, of New Richmond, will bring suit against the county for injuries received by going through a defective bridge near tho Groendyke farm on the New Richmond road a few days ago. In the accident Mr, and Mrs Lee were badly shaken up, while the horse was injured to an extent as to render him almost worthless and the buggy badly wrecked. Mr. Lee will ask tho county to reimburee him for his loss.

Juvenile Thieves.

Two young boys, George and Cloveland Bowen, aged 12 and 0 years, were arrested on Tuesday on charge of stealing. Chickens, turkeys, and other property missing were found in their possession or traced to them. They may be sent to the Reform school at Plainfield.

Elder

Calls From Time to Eternity

Matliias M. Vancleave

In the death of "Klder Mathias M. Vancleave, at his residence in this city, on luesday last, a faithful worker in

no better known citizen in the county, few living now that have resided here so long as he, and few more zealous workers in the cause of religion than the

venerable old citizen who has bnen con

signed to his grave. Klder Vancleave was by birth a Kentuckian, coming here with hia parents in the lirst settlement of the country in the year 1824. Many are the interesting incidents portrayed of early pioneer life in Montgomery county by Elder Vancleave, and n.me took moro pleasure in reciting them to the younger generations that followed than be. The stories of early couit trials, hunting expeditions, hardships of early life in the settlements, and other matters of pioneer days, a6 coming from the lips of Elder Vancleavo, were always interesting and lost nothing by age or repetition. He, many years ago, owned the land upon which the water works plant is now situated, and opened a small establishment fcr the manufacture of pumps and chairs, lie adopted the calling or a tainister when a young man, and fol. lowed it for near 00 years, or until declining health prevented him from engaging regularly at hiB chosen profession. At no time when in heath has he failed to answer the Kummons from the sick and dying, who begged for the consolations of religion from this ever faithful minister. His reputation among his school, the Primitive liaotist, was extensive and reached beyond the borders of the State. Up to tho time of his death he had probably married as many couples as any other minister in Indiana, tho number only lacking a few of 000. He leaves six children of whom Mrs. J. Hunt and Wm. Vancleave, reside in this city, Mrs. McCabe, wife of Judge McCabe, Williamsport, S. N. Vancleave, Kansas City, Mrs. It. M. McCoy, Lebanon, and Mrs. W. W. May Indianapolis. He was in the 87th year of age. IJis funeral occurred on Thursday, and was attended by large numbers of people.

MONEY BY REGISTERED MAIL, I was no more

Re-

Reasons Why Banks Prefer to by Express.

A novei feaM.ro in the shipment of currer cy to interior points, and particularly t,» the South and West, by local banPs this fall.in the great extent to wh: :h the registered mail servlct? is being used for that purpose, instead of the money being shipped by express as was formerly the general custom. Tho r-ason for this is the inability of the

hanbs fo fe

cure this year, through the

Sub-treasury, the benotit of the aovernment contract rates for tho expressage

As a result of that the banks have had to pay what are known asbanksrs' rates to tho express companies, which are two or three times as great as the govern-ment-contract ratoF, or ship their money by registered mail.

Tho course of the Treasury in respect

m!4! er

has been explained from

tuue to time in the Evening Post, so far as any explanations could be obtained. Heretofore the Treasury gladly gave to the banks the privilege of shipping cur rency at tho governmt nt-contract rates or rather, shipped tho currency for tho banks at the government rates in return lor gold deposits. A (lause, however, was inserted in the contract with tho express compeny when it was

Bafe

laBt

made

by which such priviveges should only bd afforded to the banks whon the Treasury needed gold. The discretion in the matter apparently rests with tho Secretary of the Treasury, and he has seemingly decide that the Treasury does not want gold now. Consequently the banks cannot have the benefit of the government contract rates for expressage, although bunkers generally seem to think it would be better for the Treasury always to take gold when it can withbut loss. The Treasury ruling, however, has not helped the express company very much, because nearly all the country banks to whom money is remitted, and who have to pay the,«ost of transmission, direct their New York correspondent to ship the money by registered mail, and insure its

delivery in one or other of

the companies which make a specialty of that business. The cost of postage and insurance is much less than the usual express charges at what are known as bankers' rates. Few New York bankers, however, would remit money in that way, unless they -veri? directed to do so by their correspondents. They would rather ship it by express, even though it cost more to do so, because they consider it the safer way.

If money is lost by an express company during transmission, the loss is promptly made good, whereaB, banko: say, it takes a long time, and is a troublesome task, to recover the amount when the money is lost in the mails. The government i« not responsible it only promises to take greater care of a registered package, for which the registration fee of eight cents is charged, it cannot or does not guarantee its delivery or reimbursement in case of loss. The cashier of'a large national bank which s-hips man)' thousands of dollars every day to its correspondents all over the United States, in speakiog of thio matter to-day, s/iiu:

"The conservative banker still prefers to send money by the well-known express co panics but, to save expense, since the government refuses to remit for the banks any longer at government contract rates, the country banks are apparently willing to take the risk of transmission by registered mail, with the guarantee of an insurance company's policy for

itB

safe delivery. Notwith

standing, however, the registration and insurance, tho risks of sending largo sums of money by mail are very groat. A package of currency which is forwarded by the registered mail department of the postal service has no distinctive mark indicating its value a pencil receipt is given for it just the same as for an ordinary letter or package of merchandise. The package of money is thrown in with packages of merchandise of all sorts, and no more care is taken of it than is taken with a box of shoe6 of a package of gloves. The registry clerk's receipt is not a document that is as well known or as ratisfactory as the receipt of the receiving clerk of an express cempany, and in caso of the loss of the package, the delay in the recovery of the money is interminable. "For instance, iv few years ago a Southcan bank ordered from its New l'ork correspondent £20,000 in currency, the money to be sent by registered mail. The package was put, or supposed to have been put, in a certain through pouch, but when the pouch was opened in the Southern poBt-oilice in prsence of the President of the bank, who was anxious about the arrival of the money

successful, and it was

long time before the bank was reimbursed for the loss. The inconvenience ••use tD banks, by the non receipt of •""•ey on time could not be estimatedIn some cases, asm times of panic, for instance, tho delay might be fraught with very serious consequences. A year or so ofter tho loss of the money referred to other missing artices were traced to a cei tain dishonest postal employee, and the socret of the missing money package was then solved by his confession. ... 'On the other hand, the express companies locate missing packages of money or make good the loss promply, without technicalities or delay. They are responsible, and banks run no risk in shipping by them."

LOST HIS HOME.

Will Thompson a Former Resident

Attorney Is Minus a Home.

Will Thompson, the well known at-® tomes, formerly of Crawfordsville, but" now of Seattle, Washington, is minus his home just now through a coulUgra^ t'ou that destroyed it, last week.

Tho damages will roach 81,000 or $5,000, although the greater part of the contents was saved. Ihe tire apparatus was practically of no use, owing1 to the lack of watar. Mr. Thompson's home was a two and a half t-iory frame, finished in oak. If was built several years ago and cost 85,000."

Ihero was an insurance of §4,000 on the house.
