Death of Rev. E. B. Thomson.
REV.
EVERETT B. THOMSON died suddenly at his home on west Wabash Avenue at about 10 o'clock Thursday forenoon. He bad been in poor health for some time, but the immediate cause of his death was heart disease. He was on the street Wednesday, and attended prayer meeting at the First Presbyterian church Wednesday evening. Dr. Ristiue called on him as usual Thursday morning, and he told the doctor he had passed a bad night, and said "Doctor, I am about gone." In a few moments lie was dead. Mr. Thomson was the son of Alex Thomson aad was born in Crawfordsville, Dec. 6, 1843. Graduated from Wabash College in 1864, and from Lane Theological Seminary in 1867, and after one year at Union Seminary he took charge of the Presbyterian church at Peru, Ind., where he remained one jTear, being called to
Wabash, Ind,, where he served pastor two years. In 1870 he called to Piqua, Ohio, where he solidated two churches into one strong one, and remained there until 1880 serving ten years. His health failed and he preached no more until 1883 when he was called to Center church in this city, which he retired from at the end of three years on account of failing health. He was then made librarian of Wabash College, which position he gave up in 1894 to accept the pastorate of the First Presbyterian church. Ill health again forced his retirement in the fall of 1897, since which time he has not been actively engaged in the ministry. Dr. Thomson was married in 1871 to Miss
as
was con
Catherine, eldest daughter of President Tuttle. Three children were born to them. Two daughters, Caroline and Mary, who are at home, and Herbert, who is pastor of the First Presbyterian church at Wilbur, Washington. The funeral arrangements have not been made as the paper goes to press (Friday morning.)
We desire to place a tribute of respecf upon the bier of Dr. Thomson.
He was one man to whom was accorded the love and respect of every person in the city of Crawfordsville. A thoroughly good man, and a Christian without guile. He was one man who practiced to the letter what he preached. His friends were not confined in denominational lines, but the whole people accorded him their cere love and respect. His Chri6tlike life in every particular, and he stands a type of noble Christian manhood, such as is a benediction and blessing to all who come into its range. No man in all the world has anything but praise to speak of Dr. Thomson.

Life fitful fever o'er he sleeps well," and his enfranchised spirit has, if our faith be true, found the home for which it longed and to which he has pointed others so zealously.
Rev. J. M. Stafford Dead.
'TUESDAY morning at 3 o'clock, at the Shawnee Mound M. E. church parsonage, Rev. J. M. Stafford, the pastor, passed away after a long illness, from stomach derangement and nervous prostration. He was the son of Rev. Geo. W. Stafford, of this city, and was 54 years of age. He was born in this county Oct. 4, 1845. and entered the Methodist ministry in 1868, and for over thirty years it has engaged his entire attention. The field of his labors has been Thorntown, Romney, Clinton, La Porte and Crawfordsville circuits, and Shawnee Mound. His work has been sucessful. He leaves a wife and nine children. The funeral was held Thursday at Shawnee Mound church, conducted by Dr. Cissell. Interment at Oak Hill.
Brutal Mr. Corey.
CD COREY appeared in his role of brute at Michigan City again a a few evenings since. He ran away from Illinois last winter to keep out of the clutches of the law, and came to Michigan City where he made friends again with his wife. The other evening he proceeded to beat her in an unmerciful manner, and was landed in jail. He could not pay his fine and will remain in hock for some time. He vainly appealed to his bruised and swolen better half to help him out, but she gave him the laugh. He has found his proper place, and a life on the stone pile would be a good way to utilize the muscle'which he has cultivated so assiduously.
Again Insane.
LAST
Tuesday at New Albany Lee Vaughn, a Monon engineer, went insane and had to be taken in charge by the officials to prevent him from destroying members of his family. Mr. Vaugn is well known here, being a brother-in-law of Tom Nolan, and resided in this city several years ago. The cause of the trouble is injuries received in a freight wreck near this city some years since. He was afflicted in this way as a result, two years ago, but has been running his engine regularly up to the present attack. He has numerous friends here who will regret to learn of a return of the calamity, and who hope for his speedy recovery.
Gay as Birds of Paradise.
THE
Daughters of the Knights of St. John, the drill team of young ladies trained by Captain John Drury, have secured from New York, a fine new uniform. The skirts and jackets are of scarlet cashmere, embroidered in fancy designs with gold braid. The collars are large and pale blue in color. The young ladies made their first public appearance in their new outfits at Music Hall last Thursday evening, and were greeted enthusiastically. They area great drill organization, and the pride of the Knights of St. John.
Peculiar Accident.
Q1
EORGE BRAMBLETT: and three other men, took refuge from the storm Monday afternoon, under some empty box cars standing on the Midland track. While the storm was raging a Midland freight backed onto the track to take off the cars. The noise of the falling rain prevented the men hearing the approach of the train until it struck the cars. Three of them got out in safety, but poor Bramblett was crushed to death under the wheels. It was a peculiar accident, and a very sad one.
Socialism's Terrors.
SOCIAL
the experience of Rev. J. H. Hoi lingsworth who resigned the pastorate of the M. E. church of Frankfort, where he was receiving a salary of SI,200 a year, to preach socialism to the slum element of Chicago. He is now reported to be in straightened circumstances by Miss Kathryn Staley, of Frankfort, jbo is doing newspaper work in that city. She says Mr. and Mrs. Hollings. worth literally and positively do not know where their next meal is tocome from, yet they have never wanted for anything so far.
The Ripley Poet.
I AMES ELMORE, the bard of lower Rock river, is preparing to issue a volume of his choicest gems in a short time. It is to be illustrated with cuts made from photographs of much of the beautiful scenery of this and upper Parke county, including a cut of the celebrated "Narrows." These things are all described in a most graphic manner in his novel "Love Under the Mistletoe," which will be incorporated in the book, together with the witching children of the author's brain. This will be no cheap book, but has a hard back and is decorated in gold stamping, and worthy a place in the finest collection of literay gems and specimens of the book binders' art. Mr. Elmore is busy taking orders now for the forthcoming volume and is njeeting phenominal success. It is like the celebrated bitters of Mr. Brady: "Everybody takes it." This speaks highly for the culture of the people of this county. They are ready and anxious to push a good thing in literature, and they believe Mr. Elmore is the coming poet. He has added many new pieces to his collection of late, among them a startling piece of work on the Wells case, which he has named "The Wells Tragedy, or, Death of the Innocents." This poem has been placed in the hands of THE NEW REVIEW for publication, and will appear next week. Everybody will want to see it. Extra copies'can be procured by sending in early orders, or, what is still better, subscribe. One dollar per year.
Will We Have Gas.
WEto
are told by those who ought know that we will have
plenty of gas this winter. Then we are told by those who ought to know that we will have the same awful experience of last winter if we put our faith in the promises of the Dietrick Syndicate. The syndicate tells tales of new gushers and pumping stations which dazzle the public but no larger mains are being laid. The pressure is not high at this time, and the wise people are figuring on how much coal is going to cost. There is but little disposition on the part of the public to freeze this winter, and they are somewhat leary of the promises made them as to plenty of gas.
Crop Prospects.
THE
weekly crop bulletin reports 'rop prospects in Indiana fine. The corn is filling well and promises a heavy yield. There are only a few points in the State where it has suffered from drouth. Tobacco prospects good. Clover seed maturing nicely and a good a good yield promised. Vegetables are in prime condition save tomato blight in some sections. Fruit is abundant, a large crop of apples and grapes reported from the fruit growing districts. Potatoes are splendid. Pasturage good. Plowing for whjsat proceeding rapidly since the late rains. Wheat threshing is nearly finished and oat threshing fairly commenced.

Mr. Hall and His Wad.
CETH HALL, a Thorntown blacksmith, came over from Waynetown where he has been at work Monday to see the sights in the big town, and he was accomodated. He got filled up on rarefied air at the saloons, and soon parted company with a roll of dollars amounting to 37 "plunks." He told a woeful tale of how he had started to walk to Thorntown*aad was held_upby highwaymen, but it afterward developed that he was put off the andalia train at Garfield because he had no money to pay his fare. The plain facts in the case are he was drunk and some of his new found friends relieved him of hisjcash.
First Class Elopement.
pLARENCE WILEY, the young Schub who has been employed to teach swinging at the Yountsville chutes for pome weeks, eloped last Saturday with Harriet Smith, the daughter of a widow. It was a very distasteful affair to the widow, and she was exceedingly indignant, but later on discovered that the hinges of herjj? heart were not rusty, and she called the erring ones in to the slaughter of the fatted calf, dotermined to make the best of a bad bargain.
Hail Carrier Hurt.
A RRIER CLEMENTS on .Rural Route No. 2, met with quite a serious mishap during Wednesday's thunder storm.. When just opposite Governor Mount's'residence, lightning struck a telephone pole.
