FROM ED. VORIS

An Interesting Letter Concerning

His Trip in Africa.

DAMJ'HER ON THE MF.DITER^NLAN February IT, 1898 ED. REVIKW:—

In pursuance to the promise I made, I write you a line in regard to our voyage. We are now sailing from Malaga, Spain, to Algiers, Airica. But as to our voyage: We left New York Saturday, the !tb, at coon amid flowers, tears and cheers. Good bye, good bye, goes up from a thousand throats as a powerful little tug pulla us out into mid stream and the great ship "Alier" swiftly turning screws churns the water into foam and we are orT. But just off Sandy Hook we go on a bar but get off in about two hours without damage. For twenty-four hours we run along without incident, but the wind comes out of the north and tips the white ca^s to us. But the staid old "Aller" takes on the pranks of a broncho as the wind whistles and shrieks through the straining cordage, and old Neptune clasps our ship in iron embrace and tosses her up on high and throws her down into the deep, stands her on edge and plunges her nose into the big waves and poi rs tons of water over her decks, (many of us hastening to pay tribute.) But time does all things and the sea quiets down and we are again regular attendants at our meals. We also had a small fire on board but not much damage. But 1 would rather witness a fire from terra firma. We expect to land at Algiers in the morning. 1 think it will be a very interesting place as it is the terminus of the great camel train coming in off the desert. We will be in Cairo in about a week and will then proceed to take a walk up the streets of Cairo. We are going to take an overland trip through Palestine on horseback, so please make an engagement for m« to ride at the county fair, as I expect I will be an expert rider after making this trip. Well, I can't write much but will tell you all when I see you, ED. VORIS.

Death of Hilan Overton.

Milan Overton, only son of John G. Overton, died at Tacoma, Washington, on Sunday moraing. The deceased was some 30 years of age, and for some years past has been in poor health. He had traveled in different portions of the country in hopes of improvement in hie physical condition, but only received temporary relief. Some months since he took service with the Northern Pacific railway as a freight clerk at Tacoma, but his health soon again began to fail. He was confined to his bed but a few days when death came to his relief. He was a quiet, steady, exemplary young man, and his death will cause deep feelings of regret to all acquaintances. His father arrived at Tacoma on Tuesday, the day of his funeral.

The Wallace Club.

Marshall Nye, A. F. Ramsey and several other republicans met at the old opera house, Saturday evening, and organized a political club for the ensuing campaign, termed the Wallace club. That|there is an irrepressible conflict between the leaders of the party in this county could not be more firmly emphasized than in the formation of two political clubs in the county in this political year. The other club—the Morton— seems to be in running order solely in the interest of Landis and under the sole management of John Bonnell. The Wallace crowd do not propose to allow Bonnell to do their thinking for them, and in the ensuing campaign will act independent of dictation from that wing.

The Dr. Stout Case.

The probabilities are that that the second trial of the Dr. Stout case will be brought to an abrupt close owing to the illness of Judge Stimpson. A message was rceceived from Terre Haute Monday morning stating that his condition is alarming. Unless he should be able to resume his place on the bench within the next few days, which is not at all probable, the case will be continued.

Attorneys Whittington and McCabe went to Rockville Monday morning and later reports of Judge Stimson's condition will determine what disposition is to be made of the case.

Death of Eli Compton.

Eli Oompton, one of tbo pioneer citizens jf Montgomery county, died at his home on west Market street Sunday morning after a long illness at the age of 82 years.

The deceased was born in Dayton, O., in 1816. He came to this county in 1850 and has since resided here. He leaves a wife and three children.

The funeral occurred from the family residence Wednesday afternoon, Rer. A. J. Alexander officiating. Interment at Oak HU1,

CRAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA. SATURDAY, MARCH 12. 1898.

Damaged Gravel Rqads. In this county during the past four months the gravel roads have been greatly damaged by log haulers. A correspondent from here to the Indianapolis New8 thus speaks of it: "In many places heavily-loaded saw-log wagons have damaged the roads hundreds of dollars to the mile. Wagons loaded with hogs and grain have worked similar injury, and many pikes, which last autumn were in fine condition, are now merely long stretches of mud. The tires of the loaded wagons which have been carried over them cut through the soaked gravel to the clay beneath, bringing it to the surface and crushing the gravel to the bottom. The loss in Montgomery county alone will be over $30,000. "Governor Mount, on the occasion of his recent visit to his farm, was struck with the damage done the roads, and remarked that he would endeavor to have .some corrective laws enacted at the next session of the State Legislature. The enforcement of the existing law against heavy hauling in the winter season is difficult, because it is made the duty of no one in particular. As Indiana expends about two million dollars a year on her roads, Governor Mount thinks better results should be obtained. He hopes [to secure the passage of some such law as New Jersey finds practicable and successful."

James Birch.

Jauies Birch died at his home in Highland Sunday morning after a long illness of paralysis. The funeral occurred from the home Tuesday afternoon, G. S. Burroughs and R. D. Trick officiating.

Mr. Birch was born in England in 1840 and came with his parents to this country in 1842, locating in Pennsylvania. In 1880 he, together 'with his brothers, Thomas and William, established what was known as the Birch foundry on east college street, which place they operated until recently. In Mr. Birch's death the community losses a good citizen, and tho family a kind and loving father.

Maple Molasses and Sugar. The season for making maple sugar and molasses has been very brief, and the amount made is small compared to former seasons. Some have been brought to town, and much of it is of the bogus article, made of hickory bark and corn cobs. Reputable grocers when they discover it should refuse to purchase the stuff. The genuine article seems hard to get.

St. Bernard Entertainment. The young ladies of St. Bernard's church will produce the beautiful Irish drama, "Inshavogue," at Music Hall on Wednesday afternoon, April 13. The proceeds of the entertainment will boused toward refurnishing the church The enterprise is a most commendable one and should bo liberally patronized.

A New Gravel Road.

An order has been made by tho Montgomery county commissioners and by the commissioners of Parke county also for the opening of what is known as tho Sophia Goslin gravel road on the line between the two counties. The road will be built this spring.

Basket Ball.

By defeating the Indianapolis basket ball team last Friday night by a score of 15 to 12, the Crawfordeville team won over the State championship honors. Our team is composed of Harry Gill Harvy Taylor, Charles Myers, and Fred Alexander.

J. N. Zuck has Bold hia poultry businets to hia partner, Lew Beeoher.

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

Jay Cook, a financier during the war, said a public debt was a blessing. There is one blessed thing about our city debt. It cannot be made much larger. Ijt is nearly to the 2 per cent, limit.

Wm. Carr is announced as a candidate for councilman from the Third ward. Was there not a man by that name who assisted the proprietors in selling the electric light plant to the city?

Neither White for auditor on the republican ticket, nor Canine for sheriff on the democratic ticket, will probably have opponents from their respective parties, or at least it looks that way now.

The republicans chose their delegates :hat are to make the city nominations on Thursday. The delegates from now on will know what it is to be bored by office wanters until the nominations are settled upon.

If there are any democratic candidates for auditor, representative, surveyor or coroner, they are extremely modest in their intentions of letting it be known, as none of them kave as yet considered the matter worthy of announcement.

The chances for Mayor, it is said, are strongest with Elmore, with Bob Smith a good second. Stilwell who a month ago was considered a formidable man, is not judged from the opinions of many republicans "in it" at any stage of the game.

It is said that McCampbell is to be "remembered" with his position again of street commissioner even if he is defeated for mayor. This is a sham and a burden on the taxpayers. He should be turned adrift. The taxpayers of the city very generally desire that he should be released as soon aB% possible from official honors.

The conduct of the three democratic councilmen last May in the dickering and truckling they engaged in wheD a few petty offices were to be doled out, has greatly injured the prospects of the democracy electing any couneilmen this year. Those republicans who voted for them eay now they will try reform in their own party first.

Skipped For Pastures New. F. A. Norman and Jake Goldman, comprising the J. F. Pritchard & Co., collecting agency, have flown their kites, leaving numerous creditors to mourn their hasty departure These men came to this city ostensibly from Ft. Wayne early in November and soon established a good business, not only in this city but in the surrounding towns of the county. Their method of collecting bad accounts was perhaps the best ever seen here, and many business men fell in with the scheme. For a time they seemed to prosper, but, like many others, they could not stand prosperity. 'Twas the same old story, gambling, drinking, and hi?h living. While their creditors were numerous their accounts were small, and no effort will be made to trace the missing men.

Fountain County Criminal. Judge P. S. Ksnnedy was at Covington last week and part of this, acting as judge of the court in the case of the State vs. Elam Curtis indicted for bur glary.

Curtis, assaulted and robbed Mr. and Mrs. Enoch Thompson, a venerable couple near Veedorsburg, subjecting them to namerous indignities, and finally driving them into a closet, where they remained for hours as prisoners, was [found guilty on Saturday evening. He received an indeterminate sentence of from two to fourteen years confinement in the southern prison.

Dirty "Dagos."

Last Saturday a gang of dirty Italian beggars with a couple of dancing boars made the rounds of the city. They went into camp just east of town on Lover's Lane, and Monday morning the residents, of the neighborhood complained so bitterly of their filthiness and the depradations of the bears that Sheriff Canine paid a visit to the camp and made them leave the country. They went east toward Indianapolis.

A New Firm.

A new institution has been established in this city known as the Wm. Lee Gilkey Co. This firm manufactures a phosphate food for domestic animals, hogs, poultry, etc., which is said to be the best on the market. Their place of business is at 120 west Pike street.

A Remonstrance.

A petition bearing something over 350 signatures has been filed in the commissioners' court by citizens of Coal Creek township against the granting of a liquor licsase to Jerre Ward, of New Richmond. Jerre seems to be in bad repute with the citizens up that

iness—Entrance Fee Abolished.

The fair directors held their regular monthly meeting at the court houso last Saturday afternoon. 1 he first thing to receive attention were the floral and agricultural halls. The exhibits in these departments have been dwindling from year to year, and it was decided to abolish the entrance fees which have heretofore been charged in both departments.

An effort will be made to make Tuesday a more attractive day. One of the free-for-all raceB and a couple of good running races will bj on the day's program this year. Children will also be admitted free on that day, but after that they will be charged 15 cents instead of 10 cents as heretofore.
