After the Hoodlums.
Mayor Elmore has made a move in the right direction, and which will meet with hearty approbation from all goo/ citizens. He has resolved that hoodlimiism of all sorts must stop on the streets at night. Citizens have ljeen greatly annoyed by gangs of noisy young men, whooping things up at a lively rate, at hours when honest people were enjoying sleep the most. Often these young men were intoxicated, and used language which shocked the ear. On the eve of Washington's birthday and Hallow'een and Christmas and New Years, and all public holidays this was the case. The citizens have been very tired of such business for along time, and will hail with delight the stand taken by Mayor Elmore. A number of young men on Tuesday night thought that it was a "bluff" and that the same old order of things would prevail, and only discovered their sad mistake when the police landed them in jail. This experience is no doubt humiliating and costly, but there is no teacher on earth so effective. It will be a lesson to the young men, never to be forgotten, and thegood work will go on.

MORNING
The initial number of the
REVIEW,
published at Crawfordsville,
is before us. We take pleasure in pronouncing it one of the best of the many received at this office. Typographically it is neat and the many columns of matter is well written. It contains an extensive write-up of the Athens of Indiana, but the local features are not slighted.
Messrs. Cunningham and Henkel have every reason to be proud of their paper, and the citizens of Crawfordsville should give it their hearty support.—Frankfort Daily Crescent.
Paul-Voris Case Ended. The trial of the case of George W. Paul vs. EzraC. Voris, which has been on in the circuit court this week, was closed^ Wednesday evening, the jury instructed and sent to their deliberations. At 8 o'clock they had come to an agreement and reported a verdict. They found for the plaintiff and gave him a judgment for $600. This was a case in which Mr. Paul was suing Mr. Voris for attorney's fees. It was hotly contested and created much interest. It will probaby be appealed.
In Staid Old Qreencastle. The Wabash students behaved themselves yesterday, those of DePauw did not. The Sophomores and Freshmen of that institution engaged at noon in a disgraceful fight which ended in broken heads, torn and muddy clothes and one Professor being run over, rolled in the mud and liis note book torn to pieces. This experience will teach one professor, that a big policeman with a stout club, is the most potent element known to science to quiet hoodlums, and hereafter will keep out of the push.
Thawing Frozen Pipes. Prof. Wood, of Wisconsin University, is the inventor of a scheme to thaw frozen water pipes by' electricity. He uses the ordinary lighting wires, and a current of 50 volts,which successfully thawed out 150 feet of piping in Senator Vilas' home in 18 minutes at a cost of 50 cents. This is cheaper than a plumber.
Ben-Hur Condition.
The auditing committee ofthe Tribe of Ben-Hur who have been here all week have concluded their labors and report the Order in a flourishing condition. The committee was made up of J. C. Wingate, of Wingate, Messrs. Mills, of Cincinnati, and Rooney, of Chicago.
Capt. SImms Dead,
Captain J. N. Simms, of Frankfort, died Monday night. Mr. Simms was a lawyer, well known here,and all over the State. He was a brother-in-law of Capt. D. F. Allen. He was buried yesterday. Hon. E. H. Staley delivered the funeral oration.
At the Schools.
The public schools of the city celebrated Washington's birthday in becoming style Wednesday. The feature of the high school department was an address by Dr. E. H. Brumbaugh. Each room had its own particular way of celebrating, but all were good.

FACTORY PROPOSITION.
A Terre Haute Syndicate Proposing to Utilize the Vacated Wire
Fence Plant.
There has been much guessing as to what would be done with the buildings lately vacatedby the Trust, and known as the Indiana Wire Fence Co's plant. It is a valuable property and it was thought that it could not be allowed to fall to pieces through slow decay. It is rumored that the problem will be solved soon,—and we give the rumor for what it is worth not vouching for its correctness—that a syndicate of capitalists, most of them from Terre Haute, is organizing for the purpose of purchasing the buildings and utilizing them as a large woolen factory and employing two or three hundred hands. Rumor also says that Crawfordsville, capital will be inteiested in the deal.
The
MORNING REVIEW
only expresses
the hope that the rumor has foundation deep in solid truth, and its influence will be used tofurthertheschenie. A mill of that sort would be worth vastly more to Crawfordsville than the business into which the Trust inserted the knife, for the reason that more people would find employment Something fQr the people who work, is what Crawfordsville needs, and a woolen mill would be the thing.
Buried Treasure.
The old story of digging for buried treasure is being repeated in this county at the present time. Men are spending many valuable hours delving in the dirt in the Black Creek neighborhood but the coveted treasure has not been found yet. It seems that on the breaking out of the late war, there was a difference of opinion between Aaron Snyder and another man as to the final outcome of the unpleasantness, and they made abet of a jug of whisky on the result. Snyder purchased the whisky and buried it on the Tomlinson farm. Before the war closed Snyder died, but he lost the bet. The search for the jug is going on without intermission by the thirsty ones of that section. They are digging the ground well. When men will put forth so much energy to procure a jug of liquid suicide, can we wonder that they brave the terrors of Chilkoot Pass to procure that which will send them to the Keeley cure?
North Side Thieves.
Thieves have been pilfering considerably in the north side this winter. Their depredations have been in a small way but exceedingly annoying to the victims. Ed Collins, living on North street, has been the worst sufferer from these nocturnal prowlers. During the late cold spell they carried away a large amount of his wood. He has the guilty party under surveillance and is confidently predicting that there will come a time when stoves will be elevated through the roof. Mr. Collins has also been compelled to go to extra expense in procuring a lock for his cellar door, so that parties wanting in will have more trouble in getting at the canned fruit and potatoes. He has lost
cans of fine fruit by theft since winter set in, and naturally he is out of humor.
To Qreen To Burn.
There arrived at the Sherman House at 3 o'clock yesterday morning three travelers which were surely from the back woods. They came from Kentucky they said, but were in utter ignorance of what part of the state, They were ignorant of the ways of the world, and extremely leery of the water. This however may have only been an indication that they were from Kentucky. They did not know how to register, and after night clerk Hayes had explained to them, he failed to get from whence they came. Then he tried whither they were going, but with no better success, They refused to be separated, and all three occupied the same bed. Hayes was careful to see that they did not blow out the gas.
Board of Trade.
Yesterday was a good day on the Board of Trade. Sudden fluctuations made returns which caused some of our Crawfordsville Speculators to jump sideways with delight. It is said that one young "bull" made
Economic League.
Messrs. Benton & Bethel, of Chicago, representing the University Association of Chicago, are in owr city for the purpose of organizing an Economic League to take up the great subject of Economics as prepared by the eminent writers and educators, Professors Richard T. Ely of Wisconsin University, Jesse Macey, of Iowa College and H. H. Powers of Leland Stanford University. The principles taught by the study of Political Economy, Political Science and Sociology are the underlying principles of our civilization, and a better and more comprehensive understanding by the citizens of this country will be the means of mental growth and assist in harmonizing many of the serious problems that are now before us. A League of nearly 200 members has just been organized in Terre Haute.

Democrat, always would give all the news. By so doing he was not the most popular man in the world, but he had long lists of subscribers. He is now threatned with many libel and damage suits. The "coffee slingers" are after him, and some parties who are accused of being mixed up in a dark case at Sheldon would like to see his pockctbook open. Three of the Kankakee councilmen and the Mayor threaten him, and the last is over a story of a lost bull, that was shipped from Momence to Chicago, and* has mysteriously disappeared. If libel damage suits are healthy things for a newspaper, the Democrat ought to flourish. Giving all the news is sometimes dangerous.
A Pleasant Contrast.
The manner in which the 22nd of Feb. passed in Crawfordsville leads to the conclusion that the Wabash student has abandoned some of I his "glad free ways" and is going to be a civilized being for three hundred and sixty-five days in the year.
Probably very few people will sigh for the "good old days" of the flourishing of clubs and the destruction of property. Let them become "pleasing reminiscences—the sooner the better.
Look for the Agent.
Mr. James Hulett, our agent was at Waynetown yesterday putting in a list of subscribers to the
MORNING
Lists will be placed at New
Richmond, Wingate, Linden, Waveland, Brown's Valley, Ladoga and New Ross. We will in another week be sending 400 papers daily to the various towns in the county. We are more than pleased with our reception.
John Snyder Dying.
A card received by Jere Voris announces that John Snyder is dying at his home atBurkett,Ind. Mr. Snyder is well known to the people of Crawfordsville, having lived for .many years on Black Creek, where he owned a fine farm. He has been in poor health for sometime and the news is not entirely unexpected.
Fixing the Oas Halns.
During the late freeze many of the mains carrying illuminating gas broke and the gas escaped in great quantities. This could not be helped as the ground was frozen so deep men could not dig. The work of repairing has commenced and the public's nose will no longer be assailed by the terrible stench, of escaping gas.
Drake and Foster Winners. Another debate between Drake and Foster, of the Phillis Wheatly Society, and Gus Fink and Chas. Benjamin of the labor unions, was decided in favor of the colored men by the judges.
Insurance Paid.
The late Harry Connard had an insurance policy of $2,000 on liis life in the Railway Mail Clerks' Insurance Association. The face of the policy has been paid to his parents.

PINNEX TO HANG.
THE DANVILLE, ILL., MURDERER HAS NO HOPE.
Governor Tanner Will Not Interfere
and the Young Colored Man Is Doomed. Special to Tho Morning Koview
DANVILLE, III.,
Feb. 24, 2 a. m.—
Unless Providence se& fit to interfere in some unknown and mysterious way Thomas Pinnex, the colored murderer will die upon the gallows at noon today. He was to be hanged on December 16, but acting Governor Northcutt granted him a respite for ten days. Governor Tanner again lengthened it until Feb. 24.
On
the 16th
of
December, the sheriff read the death warrant and Pinnex dressed
himself
for the execution, and within a few moments of the time the ten days respite came. The man has suffered a thousands deaths already.
J. 2. Foster Dead.
The well known colored porter at The Ramsey, J. Z. Foster, died at the home of Mrs. Mary Thomas on Harrison street, yesterday morning. He was taken violently ill at the debate Tuesday night. He was one cf the participants and was seized while speaking. Wednesday evening he was taken to Mrs. Thomas' where he died. Mr. Foster was born at Madison, Indiana in 1809. His mother still resides there. He was a graduate of the Madison High School, and had taught several year. He was a member of the Baptist church, and a faithful worker. Mr. Foster was honest, gentlemenly, and reliable in every way. He made many friends in this city by his upright conduct, and christian life. He was a good influence among the colored people, educated and well informed, his energies were l^ent toward his race'B elevation. The body will be shipped to Madison for burial.
The Bank Case.
The trial of j^ie ease of the 1st National Bank vs. Howard Dewey, on note, was held yesterday before Judge West and a jury. Dewey had deposited some S480 in notes in the bank as collateral security for -S400 borrowed money for which he gave a note. The bank was to collect the notes left in its vaults. The whole amount of notes deposited amounted to over §600 but two of tlieni wen-. pronounced by the late Wm. H. Dur ham as being worthless. They were taken out by Dewey. One of them amounting to SI01, he collected, and for another of $124 he secured a judgment in the Circuit Court. As the' notes left in the bank were paid Dewey's note was correspondingly reduced until it is now S160. For this the bank sues. The case is quite badly mixed up. The jury now has the case under consideration.
