A BKOKKN BANK.—Our citizens were startled from their usual quiet last Friday evening by a terrible noise, like unto that of a small earthquake, in the direction of the Klston Hank. In a short time the whole town had collected on the spot, to ascertain the cause, when they learned that the north end of the brick build iiHr in which the Bank is located had given away and fallen to the ground. The falling of the building is accounted for by the digging for the foundation of the new building which is to be erected just north. The family of Mr. Fargo, who were living in the rooms above the Bank, hearing the cracking when it commenced, ran down the stairway, barely escaping being buried in the ruins. Squire I Wright and John Hill, occupants of a room on the lust lloor in the rear of the Bank, were out at the time of the accident and escaped, though the tableat 'which they usually sat the same time in the cvenin

WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE MEETING.— The Woman Suffrage Association will hold a meeting this evening at their Rooms, one square south of Center Church, corner of Washington and South streets.

All those sympathizing with the movement, of both sexes, are earnestly invited to be present.

REV. SAMUEL GREGORY, an old and well-known citizen, died at Thorntown last Monday. Mr. Gregory, who was long a resident of this county, which he represented in the State Legislature in 1864-5, had moved to Thorntown sometime in March, but the citizens of Pleasant Hill, his old home, will regret his loss none the less keenly. The deceased was buried with Masonic honors at Thorntown last Tuesday.

Excursion From Indianapolis

Visit of tie Indianapolis City Council.

THE TWO CITIES SHAKE HANDS.

On the part of the citizens of Crawfordsville our Common Council extended an invitation to the Mayor, Council and citizens oi Indianapolis to visit our beautiful and growing little city last Tuesday. The invitation was accepted, and it was announced that an excursion train would start from the Capital fit 8 o'clock on Tuesday morning. After a ride of two hours and twenty minutes, the iboutjquickest time ever made from Indiwas anapolis to Crawfordsville, the train

county. A pleasant drive through the principal streets of our delightful young Athens showing to the best advantage its avenues of shade, its gravel-paved streets and its beautiful residences to our visitors, not forgetting our sandy sidewalks, a halt was made in front of the Richardson House, where preparations had been made for the entertainment of the invited guests. Before the hour for dinner arrived the time was spent in social convivialities. At 2 o'clock dinner was announced by that prince of landlords, Zeb Richardson, and 'die jovial company of visitors and citizens sat down to a bounteous feast. The inner man satisfied, Col. Henry S. Lane, in behalf of the citizens of Crawfordsville, bade our visiting friends welcome to the hospitalities of our city. His speech was just such a one as none but Col. Lane can make. He was in his happiest mood and the shouts of applause which interrupted him were sufficient evidence that it was warmly received. At the conclusion of his speech he proposed the following toast which was drank with cold water in cold earnest: "The Mayor of the City of Indianapolis."

Responded to by Gen. Dan Macauly in a neat and appropriate speech. "The Press of Indianapolis."

Responded to by J. H. Holliday, of the Sentinel, Will Pound, of the Journal, and W. B. Vickers, of the Mirror. "The Press of Crawfordsville."

Responded to by C. H. Bo wen, of the Review, and T. H. B. McCain, of the JOURNAL, and Geo. W. McWilliams. "The City of Covington."

Response by George Nebeker and George Glasscock. "The President of the I., C. & D. Railroad."

Response by Gen. M. D. Manson. "The Present and Future of Indianapolis."

ResDon.se by Dr. Winslow S. Tierce. A. short time now elapsed before train time when another jaunt was made over the city and out to the train to see our friends off. All expressed themselves as well pleased with their visit and returned home with increased good feeling toward our city and its citizens.

It is due to say that our City Council, composed of Maj. L. A. Foote, Wm. S. Galey, James Riley, Samuel D. Smith, Wm. Epperson, and James F. Watson, together with the City Treasurer, Wm. Burbridge, and City Attorney, 1. Willson, spared no pains to render the visit of our friends from abroad a pleasant one.

AN Irishman, living in the northwest part of the city, became slightly belligerent last Sunday, and threat ened to do some wholesale shooting among some near neighbors with whom he was on the most intimate terms. He flourished his gun rather threateningly, and his curses were loud and deep. The last we saw of him he was wa.king up street with Marshal Watts.

OUR city was the secne of a disgraceful drunken row las which threatened to result in a gen-1 eral riot. There must be some Sunday holes in the saloons which ought to be stopped. A license "to sell} liquors in quantities" fec, does not

IT is not true as reported in the It view, that the I., C. fe D. Railroad has been to Yountsville. It is probable that immediate steps will be taken to secure the right of way on some route, though it is not definitely announced that yountsville will be made a point.

TOM PATTERSON addressed the temperance meeting last Sunday, taking, we understand, grounds similar to those of the JOURNAL on the temperance question. An imitation of his example by other members of the bar would be good for their moral standing.

ON account of continued bad alth Hon. John Speed, Mayor, has been granted a short respite from his official duties. At a special meeting of the Council last Monday evening, Esquire Canine was selected to fill the temporary vacancy thus occasioned.

ENSMINGER & NICHOLSON have sold their saddle and harness shop to a gentleman whose name we did not learn, with a view to going into the Sewing Machine business exclusively. They are agents for the Empire, said to be the best machine made.

THE foundation for Kelley's new building on Main street has been commenced. The inauguration of the brick work has furnished occupation to a large number of lookers on, politely termed "overseers."

THE largest window glass ever in the city can be seen at Fry's drug store. It is intended for one of the new buildings being erected on Main street.

THE Good Tempbrs' festival, last Thursday evening, Friendship Lodge, was a success. About fifty dollars were netted from the supper.

But wc may now hope that the rains arc over, and the crowd of customers at Joslin's, on Green street, is increasing. He has stoves by the cart load which he wishes to dispose of at low figures.

A Piece of Beef

Is far more palatable ifthe man who sells it keeps a neat and cleanly shop. Thisin some measure accounts for the popularity of the meat shop of Guthrie & Bro. These gentlemen keep their blocks clean, and kill none but the choicest beeves. Hence, when a citizen of Crawfordsville desires a fresh beefsteak, tender and firm, he goes to the shop ofGuthrie &Bro, No. 10, Green street.
