THE CITY WINS.

rtayor Elmore Fines the Natural Gas

.^.Company $750—Under the

Franchise Forfeiture

Clause.

The case of the city against the Crawfordsville Natural Gas Company came up in the Mayor's court Wednesday morning. The suit was brought by City Attorney Johnson in accordance with an order received from the common council and was based upon that clause in the franchise which provides that the company for each day's failure to furnish gas in sufficient quantities shall be fined in any sum not exceeding $50, on conviction and that each day shall constituta a separate otlense. The suit wa9 tried on fifteen days in which tbe company had failed to furnish gas as provided for. The prosecution introduced eight witnesses who testified as to the shortage of gas those days. The defendant's attorneys did not cross-examine tho witnesses nor induce any of their own. In the argument the defence cluuned that the company was not liablo to prosecution under the forfeiture clause because its failure to furnish gas WHS not wilful but unavoidable. Mr. Johnson, for the city, heldjUiat he was not obliged to show a wilful failure, that any failure whatever was what tho ordinance contemplated. Mayor Elmore found for the city and assessed a fine against the Gas

Company at $50, per day for fifteen days, amounting to $750. The defence stated that it would take an appeal to the circuit court.

Sallie Abused him.

Ihe last man. to purchase a ''call' in the divorce market is one, Charles M. Brumfield, who prBys the court for a divorce from his wife, Sallie Brumfield, with all the Christmas coloring on it. If all that Charley alleges be truei Sallie has certainly led him a pretty merry chase. His complaint says that Sallie has treated him in a most scandalous manner, that she cursed him, refused to cook for him, charged him with being too fresh with other girls while she herself spent most of her time gallivanting over the country with persons whose characters were not above reproach. She abandoned him and now" he wants his liberty and wants it bad.

Term Closed.

The fall term of Wabash College closed on Tuesday and most of the studentB have gone home for the holi day season. College term for the winter opens January 3. The attendance of students this year is not so large as last.

That was Easy.

A dentist formerly lived in Chicago who said he could tell a tooth he had tilled 40 yearaago, even if he haci forgotten all about the person. lie did'nt know exactly how he told, but intuition seemed to give him the information.

W. A. Muhleiseo, who manufactures the Hoboi cigar, seems to have passed a similar kind of intuition. While duving down Main street wito a friend yesterday he would make afTiiavits that he passed sevenis-two men smok ing "lloboe" cigars. But that was easy for everybody smokes them.

THE STATE GRANGE.

Will Attempt to get Some Legislation

at the Coming Meeting of the

Legislature.

The farmers of the Indiana State Grange in session at Indianapolis, adopted numerous lesolutions and pledged themse'ves to use their best endeavors toward the enactment of laws at the coming session of the legislature in accordance with the resolutions. Among the resolutions was one abolishing the office of county assessor, the work to be done by the county board of equalization. They also favor teaching agriculture in the public schools. The office of the truancy officer they held should be abolished and the township trustee should do the work. Free rural mail delivery was favorod and efforts are to be made to have it extended all over the state.

Among other resolutions was one allowing farmers free access to the stale library, the book9 to be taken out under good security closer co-operation between farmers was favored to avoid ttie •'middle" man the enactment of a l=iw prohibiting the hauling of too he.ivy loads on country roads and legislation interfering with farmers' insurance companies was deprecated two cents railroau fare met with hearty l'avor, passes to be issued to nobody except railroad employes and the sale of all adulterated food nroducts they say should be Btopped. The next meeting will be held at Lafayette.—Indianapolis News. i.

City Treasurcrship.

Milton B. Waugh was appointed by the ity council Monday night to 6erve out the unexpired term ol D.Todd Hills, deceased, as treasurer of the city of Crawfordsville. Tho appointment was in the nature of a surprise as among the numerous candidates for the position. Mr. Waugh's name hau never been mentioned. Aside from politics Mr.

Waugh's appointment is entirely factory to the democrats. He is w5ll qualified and will no doubt make an excellent, official. He was selected by the veto of the four republican members, Messrs. Morgan, Binford, Naylor and Davis, the democratic members re fusing to vote because the selection was made by a resolution instead of by ballot, as they claimed is required by law This, perhaps, is the end of the controversy as the democratic members could not have elected a man of their own political faith without the aid of

Mr. Davis and this aid was not forthcoming.

Mary J. Miller lives up in Mugar Creek township. She showed conclusively to Judge West that her husband, Dave, was a poor excuse of a man, that he was an habitual drunkard and was guilty of treating her a most cruel and inhuman manner. Metiphorically spoakinar, Mary had the coveted decree dropped in her stocking.

Mrs. Gertie Grizzle cast a yearning, anxious look toward his honor as she told of the short-comings of her husband, James Grizzle. She said he had treated her cruelly and cursed her "right to her very own face." Every one knows that Judge West don't approve of such conduct and consequently Gertie is once more a marriageable possibility.

A CLOSE CALL

A Alonon Passenger Train ha* a

Narrow Escape.

Ihe Alonon bridge over Salt Creek was swept away this morning by tho high waters a short time after the early south bound passenger train had passes over it. The structure was being repaired by tbe bridge carpenters, the supports and trusses being strengthened. By reason of the heavy rainB Salt Creek succeeded in getting out of its banks, Great heaps of ice formed a gorge at the bridge, until the pile towered almost as high as the flooring of the bridge, which is about 150 feet long. The officials were not slow in discovering the danger, and sent an engine with three car heavily loaded with stone from Bedford to the tcene. A tele, graph operator was also sent along and opened an office on the south end of the bridge, thus keeping the officials here posted. The cars of stone were purhed on the bridge to weight it down, and it was hoped thus to save tho structure from destruction. When tho morning passenger reached the scene the stone cars were pulled south to let it pass.

Terre Haute Conflragation.

The most destructive tire in the history of Terre Haute occurred in that city on Monday night. It started in a show window of the Haven & Gaddes Store and before the fire had stopped in its course buildings and stocks of dry goods, shoes, groceries, etc., to the amount of $950,000 were destroyod. The iusurance is over $500,000. Two persons were killed and a number of others injured by falling walls, lchurance adjusters arrived Wednesday from all parts of the country, but owing to the fact that the losses were generally total there is little for them to do. Tho heaviest loss falls on the Individual underwriters' association, the mutual concern, whose stockholders are '.boleading merchants of the counrty. This association carried a total of 3258,000 insurance on Havens & Geddes' retail stock and on the stock of the Terre

Haute shoe company, and r.ot a cent's worth was seved. The largest agency loss there was Allen & Kelly, with $129,000.

Accident at Brown's Valley.

Daniel Reed, a Vandalia brakeman, lost an arm at Brown's Valley Tuesday morning. Tbe unfortunate man was making a coupling when the pin dropped, and reaching down for it his right arm was caught between the couplers and frightfully crushed. Reed was broueht on to this city and Dr. Ensminger was summoned, who amputated the injured member. He stood the shock well and was able to be taken to his home in Terre Haute on Wednesday.
