liar Religious Organization.

It may nut bo generally known that two ministers of the Merman church refiido here, anil have for six months or more, and that they are in the interest of the church seeking to obtain lnem-

hers for it whenever they can secure au-'

dience with persons who may lie disposed to listen to them. The two ministers are Ilev.s. Sprague and JKelhson, and they reside at the Lewis House, on east Market street. The two have within the past few months[secured the promise of quite a number of persons to join their church, and two ladies have lately been baptised by them. The men emphatically repudiate the poligamy feature that for years distinguished tha Morman doctrine, as do other ministers sent out into various parts of the United States, but adhere otherwise to the teachings of the Morman Bible as revealed to Joe Smith over a half century ago. The two ministers here go around to tho houses of those invited by them and deliver short lectures and exhortations on the Morman faith. They would probably be perfectly willing if they could secure a hall or church in town to address the public by hundreds that might attend, but such i9 the prejudice against anything Morman that this wiil probably not be done soon. Itie probable that these men, however, will not disgrace their calling should they operate tor years, to as great an extent as have Rev. Pet-tit, Rev. Leech, and other phitiuing lights of other religious denominations Tbe heads of sonie six or eight families in town, vy« tinderstand, have accepted their doctniiea as expounded by these two men and ultimately will be baptised and become members of the Morman church.

The Lane=S\vaim Feud.

A special from Rockville says: Preston JLatie, who shot Mose Swaim about teu days asfo, using a shotgun, was tried yesterday before Squire Glass of this place and bound over to appear at the September term of the Parke circuit court. Swaim is recovering from his wounds. The shooting occurred on the highway near the home of Mose Swaim-

The trouble was over some oats in a field belonging to Swaim, which Lane attempted to haul

away.

There has

been baa blood between Lafe Swaim and his brother Mose for ten years over the title to some real estate, and about four yoars ago Mose shot and killed Gabriel Bryant, an employe of Lafe's, and almost killed Lafe at the same time* for which Mose was tried and acquitted. Lane was employed by Lafe as a farm hand whon he shot Mose. A constable tried to arrest Lafe and failed about three weeke ago after several bhots were exchanged. More trouble likely to occur soon.

Traveling by Water.

Mike Plaut. who spent a weok with LaPearl'e circus, states that the show is doing a wonderful business. Eie says that LaPearl is traveling two weeks by water because the railroads refused to haul him. ile is in a mining region and the railroads do not want a circus to get into their country and bo the eauso of tho men not working for a few days. Tho loading and unloading of the circus on tho lake is slow and dangerousLaPearl will niako two overland stands. He goes back to his train at Sheboygan, Mich., on Sept. 3.—Danville, 111., Democrat.

There were 145 of the 14G members of the Darlington lodge of Knights of Pythias in Indianapolis last Tuesday, to compete for a prize of S4G0. Darlington won. The prize was offered to tho subordinate lodge, outside of Marion county, Indiana, having a membership of over 100, for the largest percentage of the entire membership participating In the parade.

have been circulated by

UeiciKliiDt. This is an outgrowth of the

burning of Tomlinson's barn in August ISOi), It will be remembered that two of Goben's horses were in this barn at the lime of the tire and both were destroyed. It further developed on an examination of their charred remains that their throats had been cut and it was surmised that the bam had been tired by some one with a purpose. As Goben's horses were insured suspicion rested upon him and he was arrested. A trial followed and he was acquitted. In his complaint Goben says Tomlinson wasactivoin prosecution of tho case, and avers that in spite of his acquittal the defendant continues to lay the Crime at his door and frequently accuses him to others. On one occasion, the complaint continues, Tomlksjn, in tho presence of many persons said: ''This is a hull of a country we are living in. George Goben burned that barn up thore to get insurance." The plaiutiff thinks he has boon injured to the amount of £12,500 and has asked tho court to grant 1 in thatumount.

Ex-Gov. Matthews Dead.

lix-Governor Matthew-?. \Viiu Wfia Stricken with paralysis at Muharry'a grove on Tuesday of last week, while addressing the Old Settlers at that place, never rallied from the force of the prostration, and died on .Sunday last. Concerning him, the State Sentinel says: "The death of Gov. Matthews Comes witli unusual shock, for rso one had dreamed of his health being affocted in in tbe slightest until the fal.tf 3t?oke came, lie was but lifty-two years 0? age oil Dec. J1 last, and had always been of correct and abstemious habits and exceedingly careful of his health, lie cvas apparently a model of manly strength and vigor, almost six feet in hight, well proportioned, weighing about two hundred pounds, without any superfluous flesh. Any one would have named him as a man destined to long life, and therefore the stroke of fa al disease came lilta thunderbolt from a clear sky.

Claude Matthews was a man who rose very rapidly in political lite. Until, ho was toriy-live years of age he followed the uiet avocation of fanning, representing his county one term in the legislature, in 1S7G, but otherwise not appearing in ollicial life. In IS',10 he appeared as a candidate for secretary of state, and was easily nominated and elected, Two years later he was chosen governor, and at the end of his term, in 18%, hia state unanimously presented him for tho democratic nomination for president, but like all other probable nominees, he was passed by for the magnetic statesman, William J. L5ran. "As governor of Indiana he became widely known throughout the United States for suppressing tho Roby race track gamblers and preventing prize lighting in Indiana, Ilis prompt use of the militia in maintaining public order which was threatened by the coal strike of 1S95 also received wide notice. His administration was satisfactory to the people without distinction of party and gave him a certainty of lasting popularity. He was deeply interested iu agriculture and gave every assistance in his power to advauce its interests, officially and personally. "Governor Matthews's private life was a_ creditable as his public career. He was married at the age of twenty-three to Martha E. Whitcomb of Indiana.

Samuel McClatnrock, father of (Jrace McClamrock, who died over two years ago from the effects of a criminal operation, was in the cfty, one day last week, is an exodus from Linden and that buslooking up evidence against the defendant, W R. Stout, of this city. The case has been tried twice. The first time the jury failed to agreo upon a verdict, the second time the judge took sick while the case was in progress and it was continued. Mr. McClamrock says it will be called again in tho Parke county circuit court if it is in his power to bring it about. Thousands of dollars have already been spent by both the prosecution and defense and it begins to look like much more will be spent befoie the case is forever settled. About one hundred witnesses from this city might as well prepare to be yanked down to Rockville again.—Covington Friend,

The city schools will open on Sept 12. the fair ground to-day.

Their two daughters survive him, the elder being tho wife of Mr. Cortez Ew. ing, and the younger unmarried. Gov Matthews was devoted to his family and to his home and in his homo life was a model tuan in every respect/'

Neighborly Sympathy.

Word reaches us, this week, that thero

iness men are preparing to leav\ In fact the harness man is gone and Brennon it Son will leave Boon. Two other firms want to go and the bank has failed to materialize. The Cellulose factory has hung tire so long that the people are getting discouraged. If these things be true, Linden people have tho sympathy of every one who has the advancement of the country at heart, and, although wo have been lree to poke fun at them in the hour of jubilating over future prospects of greatness, they have the symathy of the Enterprise in the hour of their despondency.—New Richmond Enterprise.

New Camp at Knoxville a Pleasant

Change.

With the One -hundred-and-lilty-eighth Indiana volunteers, Camp Poland. Knoxville, Tenn., August 21.— Th- regiment is now in its new camp at Knoxville. We reached Lonsdale, a suburb ol Knoxville, at 11 o'clock Thursday night, and at once left the cars, so th it they might be sent back for the other regiments.

A cup of coffee was served to each man, and wo lay down on the loading platforms to sleep until our wagons came, they having followed on another train. Thev pulled in at 3 o'clock in the morniag, and then followed a scene both picturesque and exciting. Over thirty wagons were to be unloaded and probably 150 mulea by the light of torches and locomotive headlights. The mules were frightened, the men were sleepy, the platform slippery, and it all resuited in many an exciting tangle.

Soon, however, we were marching to our new camp, two miles away. This is in an incloBuro called Lincoln Park, and is truly beautiful place. We iire up on a hilltop, the tents of the camp running down the slops. In J|the valley wo can see part of tho suburhs of Knoxville, and far beyond are the Great Smoky mountains.—Cor. Indianapolis News.

Killed at Muncie.

The following special from Muncie last Saturday relates the sad death of little Theodore Peters, who until recently resided in this city: "This foronoon, while raising the center pole for the tent of tho world's greatest dog and pony show, the heavy pole got loose from the ropes and fell among a crowd of small boys. Theodore, the twelve-year-old son of Charles Peters, of the Muncie bottling works, was pinned 10 tho eround and instantly killed, his chest being crushed in. Ile had just been employed to carry water to earn a ten cent admission ticket and this makes the show company liable. The street parade and afternoon performance was cancelod as a result of tho accident. It was marvelous that several others escaped tbe same fate."

158th at Knoxville.

A special from Knoxville says Camp Poland, near this city, is rapidly filling up with troops from Chickamauga. The One-hundred-and-lifty-eighth Indiana, Second Ohio and First West Virginia nave arrived. All troops are unloaded from side tracks within a short distance of the camp, and net brought Jinto the city. Tho health of the 7,000 men now here is excellent, and those sick in hospitals are improving, Sowing to the change of air and water."
