Citizen Passes Away
After
"Iness of Several
)nths.
1'. If. Is. M.. £$, editor of the Journal. died at li-s i, .me on ist \Yahs,«h avenue, Suudav i»ht at 8 a'cluc*. His illness was of several months' duration and was the result of hemorrhage of the brain. The funeral occurred Wednesday afternoon from the lesidenco and -vas largely attended. Speaking of his career thu Journal says: "Thomas Ilart Benton McCain was born in Clinton county on January 24, 1839, and was the =on of Hugh and Minerva McCain. Hugh McCain died in 1803, but Mrs. Minerva McCain is still alive and has made her home in this city since her husband's death. The McCain family is of Scotch-lrish descmt and the American branch has been in this country for more than a century. T. H. B. McCain in his youth enjoyed such educational advantages as were afforded bj the common schools and the then famous Thorntown academy. After completing the course there he taught school during the winter season and in the summer worked as a printer in the newspaper offices of Lebanon. When the civil war broke out he was among the first to enlist and entered the service as a private in Com pany I, of the 86th Indiana regiment. After a service of several months he was promoted to the office of sergeantmajor, and during the last year of the war he served as first lieutenant of the company, being captain in effect, as the captain was serving aa a member of the staff. He took part in all the battles in which his regiment participated, among the more notable being Missionary Ridge, Chickamauga,. Stone River. Franklin and the battles of the Atlanta campaign. At Stone River he was captured and was in Libby Prison at Richmond for several months, suffering not a little from the 1 rivations which all who were incarcerated there endured. He WRB finally exchanged and returned to his regiment at the earliest possible moment. Immediately after the war he located in Delphi and began the publication of the Delphi Journal. In a short time he removed to Lebanon and there remained a year and a half as the editor of the Patriot. From Lebanon he went to Murfreesboro, Tenn., and in 1868 began the publication of a republican newspaper. Murfreesboro was not at that time an especially good field for a republican paper, so Mr. McCain returned the same year to Indiana and with John H. Hendricks purchased the Crawfordsville Journal. Mr. Hendricks because of poor health soon sold his interest to John T.^Taltot, who remained a partner in the business urtil 1876, when Mr. McCain became sole proprietor, remaining eo until the organization of the Journal Company in 1892."
Mr. McCain was an honorable competitor, a thorough newspaper man and a forcible writer. He was a member of the Knights ot Pythias, Odd Fellows, G. A. R, and the Tribe of Ben Ilur, and was always identified with the best interests of the city. He leaves a wife and two sons, Arthur A., who is business manager of the Journal, and Fred T., a premising young attorney.
Fell From the Buggy.
Saturday afternoon a lady, whose name we were unable to learn, was driving a buggy near the Dickerson & Truett corner, when her little child, perhaps two years old, which was sitting by her side, accidently fell from the vehicle, the wheel passing over its body. In stopping the horse the animal backed and the wheel again passed over the child and was just in the act of being trampled by the horse when a man ran out and rescued it. Its screams were pitiful but just what injuries it sustained are not known, as the mother drove away with the crying child, displaying little or no concern.
Death of Maj. C. T. Doxey. Major C. T. Doxey died at his residence at Anderson on Saturday last after an illness of a year. He was known to many persons of this county, among them Henry Alfrey, who attributes his success in business at the start some twenty odd years ago to the friendship and financial assistance of the deceased Doxey was a native of Tippecanoe county, but had-resided at Anderson for thirty-five years. His estate is valued at 8700,000 which a wife and a married daughter will inherit.
At Indianapolis.
J. U. Lal'earl's show exhibited at Indianapolis'Wednesday and Thursday of this week. The concern has begun to take on the airs of the big first-class exhibitions, being a two-ring circus, with a fair-sized menagerie, and about 100 performers, indicating great growth within three yean past. A number from tere attended the performances, and speak in favorable terms of them.
BACKED DOWN.
Many Members of the State riiliiia
at Indianapolis Show a Yellow
Streak and Refuse to Enlist.
there was a decided surprise in store for the State ibi.itary officers at Camp -Mount last Sa urday when it was learned that an amazingly Urge per cent, ol the soldiers in camp had concluded not to enlist in the service, but wanted to return home to ma. On that date Gen. Mclvee ordered that a census be taken ot the men who prefer not to voluntft r. All the companies sustained losses and eome of them were quite heavy. Out of 120 men io the Roachdale company fifty of them stepped out and were allowed to return home. Twenty-nine from Company showed signs of homesickness much to the chagrin ol the rest of the company. When Gov. Mount learned of the result of Gen, McKee's order he said "I regret that men who did not intend to be mustered in came over here and remained in camp at the expense of the State. It was not right for them to do so. It was well understood that the militia was brought to Indianapolis to be sent to the front, and notice waB given that those who did not wiRh to go, or who felt impelled to stay at home by reason of ill-health or strong family or business ties, were honorably excused from eervice. It is unfortunate to have so large a percentage, in several instances, fail to be mustered in. The men who had no intention of serving their country had no right to come over here at the States expense. It is not a military spirit. These men should be sent home at once. I do not know but what it would be best where a company falls off so largely, to send the entire company home, and admit one that is willing and ready to go."
Another Military Company. Since the departure of Co. M, some of the best young men of the town have been quietly organizing another military company. The organization was perfected last Friday night by the election of Hal McClamrock, Capt. James Wilhite, 1st Lieut. D. V. Blair, 2d Lieut, The company at once notified Gov' Mount that they were ready to be sworn in as a branch of the State militia and made a requisition for arms. The roster of the company is:

FUSTIAN AND FLAPDOODLE
With Rot and Rubbish, Make a Pa-
thetic Letter with Gen. Wallace as the Subject.
The following extract from a correspondent at Indianapolis to the Enquirer regarding Wallace's attempt to enlist as a soldier appeared in that paper last week. Gen. Wallace should ask bis friends at once to save him from such silly gush. Here it is:
Out of the bleak and dreary prospects of a rainy, raw day in the eamp of the Indiana soldiery came an event today that will stir with all the emotions of patriotism and pathos millions of people who read about it. The grizzled old warrior and author of "Ben Hur,' General Lew Wallace, walked into the camp of the Second Regiment and begged like a eiov to be enlisted as a private in Company of that regiment. Behind this is a s'ory of tortured pride and emotions that might inspire a volume equally beautiful, if not ae tragic, as that which embraces "The j.ale of the Christ."
General Wallace came through the rain on foot, with his old army cape looped about his shoulders.
HIS FACE WAS SF.T
With a hard, old-fashioned army countenance, but tears welled up in his eyes as he made known the object ot his visit to Colonel Smith. '1 deBire,' said he, 'from the bottom of my heart, even at this age of life, to give back to my country a fragment of its usefulness. It is my most fervent wish to carry a musket to the field of battle to Cuba, and if possible redeem in a measure -what I lost through an unfortunate error on my part at the battle of Shiloh
Of course, General Wallace waB acquainted with the fact that his age was a bar against his enlistment, but be tarried to ask the commanding officer to use bib influonce toward getting him into the ranks as a private, and it may be accomplished."
To Camp Mount.
Nearly seven hundred tickets were sold by the Bi Four from this city to Indianapolis last Sunday. Aboutevery body who had a relative or friend in Camp Mount went over. It was a great day for Company and the good things to eat which were carried over in baskets tor the boys was devoured with a relish. The crowd at the State Fair ground was estimated at neariy 200,000 people. Fortunately they were admirably handled by those in charge and no accidents occused to mar I he pleasure of the day.
Wool Buying.
The season for wool buying is now on, and quite a number of farmers have already disposed of this year's clip of wool to McClure, Graham it Rountree. The Rountree of this firm is Daniel Rountree, the former well known merchant, who carried on the dry goods trade here for many years. The firm have the money to pay the highest ruling prices for wool, and there is a waste of time running around to ascertain who will pay any more. •,
Keller Case Postponed.
The much talked of Maggie LaHue (nee Keller) $50,000 damage suit has again been postponed and will not be called for trial next Tuesday. This time the attorneys for the plaintiff, who reside in Rockville, say they are not ready for trial owing to a press of other business. Upon this ground the cause was continued until the next term of court.—Covington Friend.
A Glorious Victory.
By his victory at Manilla last Sunday Admiral Dewey secured a firm hold upon the hearts of the American people and so has Muhleisen's "Hoboe" cigar bv its unquestionable superiority. Everybody admits it.

FILES A CROSS BILL.
Mrs. Leota Edwards Has Some,
thing to Say in Opposition to Her
Husband, Charles Edwards' At-
tempt to Secure a Divorce From Her.
No sooner had Chae. Edwards, the Ripley township farmer, filed application for divorce from his wife, Leota Ed wards, than she comes back at him wi across bill in opposition, in which she avers many things againet him. She alleges brutal and inhuman treatment °n his part, in the way of curses and threats of bodily harm. In her bill she makes affidavit that Edwards started after her with a butcher knife, and if she had not at once retreated she might have suffered serious consequences. She says, or intimates as much, that
was
very
stingy toward her with his
money, and that often when needing raiment ho refuted her the money to purchase it. She aske for divorce and alimony to the amouut of $3,000. Sentiment among those acquainted with tho parties is that while tho defendent may not be free from all the allegations in Edwaads' application for divorce, he himself,seems to have very fitly personified the expression, "an old fool is a bigger fool than any other kind."
THIRD TIMETIS CHARM.
Dispondent and Tired of Life Wil
liam Whipple Leaves this Vale of Tears.
William Whipple, a well known farmer living a short distince north of Linden, committed suicide last Saturday by taking morphine. He was discovered in an unconscious condition soon after taking the drug, and a physician was summoned. He rallied sufficiently to tell what ho had done but gave no reason for the rash act. He said he purchased the drug at Crawfordsville several weeks ago and that he had made two previous efforts at suicide. The first doee was a light one and only made him deathly sick for a time. The second was a little larger but a doctor was called in and saved him without suspecting the cause. Saturday, it is said, he took enough to kill a horse, but he lingered until Monday before death relieved him of his sufferings. Mr Whipple was in comfortable circumstances and no reason can be assigned for the rash act except deBpondencv caused by ill health. He was 49 years old and leaves a wife and three children. The funeral occurred Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock. Interment at Romney.
McCutcheon an Eye Witness. The Indianapolis Sentinel publishes the following interesting item concerning a man well known in this city and county: "John McCutcheon of Lafayette, who gained much fame as an artist on the staff of the Chicago Record, it is believed, was with Admiral Dewey during the Manila engagement. Mr. McCutcheon was on tho dispatch boat, McCullough, on a cruise around the world, When the boat reached Asiatic waters instructions were given to join Admirable Dewey's squadron. It was learned *ythat Mr. McCutcheon has secured permission to accompany the admiral on his flagship and ho was no doubt an eye witness to the engagement."
Linden's Election.
Linden held her regular election on last Monday. There were two tickets in the field known as the Citizens' and Peoples'. Both tickets were mixed, each containing democrats and republicans. The contest was friendly but spirited Below are the successful candidates:
Trustee First Ward—Frank Dunkle, Trustee Second Ward—Daniel Ilarrigaa.
Trustee Third Ward—J. M. Hoge. Clerk—Ed Wilson. Marshal—John McCorkle.
The Willis-Bennett Marriage. Saturday's Chicago papers contained the notice of the marriage license of Parker Willie and Minnie Bennett. While it was known to many that the pair went to Chicago during the earlier part of the week yet the notice of their marriage in the papers was a complete surprise. It is understood that Willis has put his photograph gallery here in charge of his brother and that it is his iptention to seek a location elsewhere.
