Wreck at New Ross.

Wednesday at the crossing at New Boss a freight train on the Midland ran into a freight train on the Big Four road. Several freight cars were thrown from the track and smashed and the Midland engine was served likewise. As far as could be learned no one was injured, but the passenger trains were delayed several hours.

Purchased the Luse Property. Dr. W.H. Kistinehas purchased from O. M. Gregg the elegant re idence erected several years ago by A. P. Luse. upon college hill. The consideration was a handsome one, and the Doctor will take possession about the first of May, the property now being occupied by J. A. Gilbert. Dr. Bistine has secured one of the most desirable places in Crawfordsville.

Will Go To Florida.

A, F. Bamsey and son Charley will go to Florida in about a week to inspect Mr. Bamsey's valuable phosphate lands. Gen. Manson, T. N. Lucas, John M. Shultz and Mr. Bamsey purchased a large amount of land there several years ago at about one dollar per acre. Phosphate has been discovered on it since and it is now worth $75 per acr j. Charley Bamsey will remain there permantly.

Viewing the Ground.

Mr. Finch, superintendent of the New Market Hub and Spoke factory, and Mr. Goodwin, general manager of the American Wheel Company were in the city conferring with some of our business men relative to the removal of the New Market factory here. They viewed several spots near the Junotion and considered all of them as suitable. No definite action has as yet been formulated by the B. M. A. which has the matter in charge, but before the end of the week its engineers hope to have the project well under way.

The Fight-

The arrangements for the fight between Ed Cory and Sam Grant, of Lafayette, were not consumated for the reason thet Grant's backer was awav from home. The principals were to meet in Lafayette, Wednesday, however, and sign the articles. Tuck Cox is Cory's backer for .$500 and Grant is backed by a friend in Lafayette. Tho light will bo to a finish, aad to take place within six weeks. The contest ground will probably be "government island" in the Wabash, where is said the men will be secure from arrest by State officers.

The Blind Leading the Blind. It was not exactlv a case of tho blind leading the blind but of the blind driving the blind. The horse was biind and Leu Bowermuu was bliud-druuk and the result was that the festive Leonard got his nose broken. Bowerman loaded down to the guards started from the city, about 6 on Monday evening, with a hog in his buggy, for his home near Alamo driving a blind horse. The air was cool and bracing and Mr. Bowermau exhilarated ty it whipped up his brave charger and went tearing down Grant avenue on the jump. Arriving at the Dry Branoh bridge at the foot of cemetery hill Mr. Bowerman pulled on the reinB and die blind horse went over the side down onto the rocks of dry branoh ten feet below. The buggy was mashed to piecos but strange to relate the horse beyond being skinned up was not hurt. Bowerman was too drunk to kill BQ he escaped with a broken nose which Dr. Hutohmgs soon put in shape but it will be a long time before the victim fully recovers. He says he is hot in the habit of going home drunk, but those who know hiltt well say his habit of going home sober is a custom "more honored in the breach than in the observance." Bowerman lives on the farm of Mart Liter near Alamo.

The Men Who "V oted for the Death Penalty It has always been a matter of more or less speculation as to what jurors voted to inflict the death penalty upon W. F. Pettit. Noah Flannigan was in the city yesterday and gave his experience in the case to THE JOURNAL. "We always have been pretty close," said he, "as to how we voted. We all knew that George Foust was the man who voted for acquittal but most of the jury don't know yet who voted for the death penalty. After THE JOURNAL printed that George Lee was very likely one of them I thought I would feel him on the subjeot the next time I saw him. The other day I met him and asked if he knew who voted that way. 'I can tell one if you can tell the other,' he replied. I think I can do so, I returned. George then said, that he was one of them and I then told him that I was the other. I was pretty certain Mr. Pettit ought to have stretched native hemp but oame over on the second ballot because I thought there was a possibility of his innocence, but mind vou not a probability. George Lee was of the same mind with me and we will always stick up for the verdict."

Overcoat Thieves.

Marshal Ensminger arrested a surpicious looking tramp Tuesday who carried a large revolver. He was finally released however, and allowed to go on the promise of skipping the town. He wore a fine overcoat, and just before leaving sold it to a gentlemen here. As Miss Blancjlie Stockton went into Bulk's boarding house at six o'clock she meta stranger coming out carrying an overcoat on his arm. Nothing was thought of this until after the meal when George Abraham and Frank Erickson, a student, found their new over, coats had been stolen. There was then a great hustling to and fro and it is safe to say that both gentlemen robbed were too warm to need overcoats last night. Mr. Abraham went to the Junction and there came upon a gentleman wearing his overcoat. Mr. Abraham, knowing him to be armed did not tackle him but telephoned for the police. They started out at once but before they arrived his trampship had departed on a freight train with a companion who wore the coat that Erickson got for a Christmas gift.

Singers and Funerals-

The singers of Crawfordsville have never asked compensation for singing at funerals, have never received any except on rare occasions and have refused to sing although it is the least pleasant of any task tho singer is required to perform. In all kinds of weather, at all sorts of unreasonable hours, frequently compelled to walk, singers have gone to the funerals never complaining. Those who ask and expect them to do this of coursed not realize tho inconvenience, nay the absolute loss of valuable time which is money, which they cause. The matter has come to such a pass that business houses have positively refused to let their employes go out to sing at funerals and several business men and woman have said that their time was too valuable to give away. It is velikely that in the near future undertakers will include music in their list of expenses. Truly, such a thing would be but just to all.

The room of Montgomery Lodge of I. O. O. F., which is tho wigwam of the tribe, was well filled with members of the tribe, their squaws, pappooses and friendly whites, togother with a few half breeds. All hostiles were kept at a distance. Medicine Man Stan Iveeuey was master of ceremonies and instructed tho new chiefs and subordinates in their duties. The list is as follows: High

Uoben's Gall and Lusb's Lingo. There is trouble in tho camp of the ungodly, for again has John Goben, the automatic hand shaker who presides at the Auditor's office, proved recreant to the trust of the horny-headed Democracy. It will be remembered that three years ago he went back on his party "rgan, the Beview, and gave the delinquent tax list to the Star.Goben braood up after this, however, in view of the fact that he was a candidate for reeleotion, and divided the spoils of office between the two papers. During the fall oampaign he repeatedly promised the printing of the delinquent tax list to the Beview and oontinued bis promise after the smoke of battle had cleared away. Mr. Henkle called for the copy lost Friday but was told that it was not quite ready then. He was assured though that it would bo ready by Tuesiy and that he should have it. As the printing of the list is a big job tho management of the Beview bestirred itself in preparing for it. Extra printers were engaged and work was carried on until after 1 o'clock Monday night. The expense rone to was very considerable and the wrath of Editor Luse may well be imagined when he discovered that Goben had wilfully lied to him in regard to the matter and that the Star had had the copy since Saturday evening. The Star

alBO

had the publication

of the assessment blanks, the Bo view'a rightful spoils. Mr. Luse was very angry and used some rough language but had become quite plaoid when seen by THE JOURNAL and merely remaraed, "Goben had promised me the printing up to yesterday and knew that I was going to great trouble and expense in preparing for it. I don't know why he lied to mo. I wouldn't say that ho was bought, but then you often hear of men selling out."

John L, Goben was seen about it and flatly denied having ever promised the tax list to anybody. '-If Luse says I did I must have done so though, and I guess its all tho same to tho world which dog comes out, on top"

with his suave smile.

Badly Burned-

On Tuesday as tho daughter of J. A. Carver, superintendent of the local branch of tho Oil Tank Company, was lighting a lire at her home on south Elm street she met with a severe accident. Sbo used coal oil and when she touched a match to it the flames sprang up and enveloped her, burning off her hair and eyebrows besides terribly scorching her face and hands. Aid came at once and her life was happily savod though with difficulty. The burns were dressed immediately and the patient is resting comparatively easy.

A Card of Thanks.

I desire to turn my sincere thanks to my many friends who assisted me during the sickness of my daughter, and favors shown me smco her death.

A SENSATION.

A Growing Belief that Daniel Fayo Was Unduly Influenced Whilo Djrm^ Tho following special to tho ludiiinap- f: olis Journal from Now York makes interesting reading for all portion connected with or interested in Wabash collego:

The Fayorweat.hor will ease was up in tho Surrogate's Court to-day, tho executors contendinp that Mrs. M'avorweathcr should statu definitely wherciu the alleged undue inlluenoo upon tho now doad million-' is airo had boon exerted. At the close of the argument tho surrogate held the allegation, was sutlleient, but declared that Mrs. Payer weather miiat support her allegatioua of uiuluo influence and fraud.

Tbo liev. Dr. Lloyd, pastor of tho Central Congregational church, signed an affidavit yesterday which says lie was summoned to Mr. Fayorweather's house on the afternoon on which the millionaire died. Ho wont in and ward came from tho sick room that it would not bo woll to have the pastor como in. 1-le learned Mint the only person in tho sick room was Mi. Vaughn, a business acquaintaince of Fayerwoather, who was indebted to tho dying man in tho sum 01 $500,000. Dr. Lloyd stayed at the house from-I until Hp,m, when word came to him that Mr. Fayorwcather was doad.

This wis November 15, During this Interval the millionaire, who

was

uartl.v

unconscious, was inducod to sign that eodicilo to his will, and which loft to Mr. liitch, Mr. Vaughn and Mr. liuckloy an estate worth about $8,000,000. Dr. Lloyd has sworn to this. Ho says tho signature is very unlike that of tho dccoasod, although I10 docs not doubt his baud hold tho pen.

Frederick 11. Coudert, counsel for Mrs. Fayerwoatlier, promises some shocking and sonsational revelations when tho case is heard.

Trom an Old OrawfordsvillianA. J. Norris, who is a Justice of the Peace and Notary Public at Hepler, Kansas, in renewing his subscription to THE JOURNAL, sayB: "You might think I had been away from Crawfordsville long enough to have forgotten the place, but such is not the ease. I take several papers, but THE JOURNAL is tho most welcome of all. I get it sometimes on Saturday evening at 3:30 p. m. Kepler is on the M. K. & T. B. B. 20 miles southwest of Fort Scott.
