A Correction-

Tq ilie Editor of The Journal.

Your report of what I said concerning tlie recent oratorio i! contest represents me as severe toward Mr. Randolph to a degree that I had not intended. I regard the performance of all the parties concerned as creditable in a high degrea, beiug, in fact, the best, according to my judgment, of any that we have had for some years. I found myself compelled to mark very close upon at least five of the contestants, and my recollection is that Mr. Randolph was among that number. In any event since ho received the approval of the other members of the committee I do not doubt that he deserv.s the rank he received. JOHN X. TAYOK.

Against ihe Plaiptiff,

In tlie case of Joshua K. Spe^r vs. the Greencastle & Crawfordsville Gravel Road Company, the court rendered judgment for the defendant on the special verdict found by the jury last week. The jury under a provision of the statute, found the facts in the case, without any general verdict for or against either party, and left the court to settle tho rights of the parties as the law might require on the facts of the case, fixing the plaintiff's damages at §300 in case the court shou'd lind he had aright to recover. But us stated, the court found tho facts did not warrant a judgment for the plaintiff for anything. Tho plaintiff was hurt by ruumng off a grade near a bridge.

Four Weeks Without Food. Some time since Mike Zellar had a well dug on his place but as no water was found it was abandoned at a depth of 40 feet in a stratum of soit sand. Four weeks and one day ago a hog weighing 180 pounds mysteriously disappeared and was never seen until Friday when it was discovered living in the bottom of the well. It was hauled out by a rope aud beyond having lost DO pounds of llesh was none tho worse off and walked off with a grunt. It had fallen a distance of 40 feet and had lived for over four weeks with nothing to eat or drink. The soft sand had broken the fall and beyond a few scratches no injuries were sustained.

Behind the Barn.

On Feb. 20 Fred Hoffman, a Senior of Wabash college, left his umbrella for a few minutes on the front porch of the residence of Isaac Davis where he rooms. When he wanted it he found it missing and reported the theft to the police. Next morning Oilicer Brothers arrested Bert Wilson, colored, as he was attempting to sell it to one ot the boarders of the Lewis House. Wilson was lodged iu jail. This morning he appeared before Judge Snyder and stated that he had bought the umbrella of an unknown white boy for 15 cents worth of tobacco. His story failed to hold, however, and the court found him guilty and sent him to tho northern penitentiary for one year and fined him one dollar.

R. Howard Taylor Oapmred and Kept From Partaking jf the Freshmen Banquet.

The annual contest debate between the literary societies of Wabash College occurred Monday night at Center church before a large audience. Steele, Evans and Martin represented the Calliopoan and Burton, Guebler and VouToblo the Lyceum. Altar hearing the debate the judges retired aud soon returned awarding tho elieriywood hatchet again to tho Calliopean which society will return it to its hall until next year when it will be again contested for. This is the fourth year of contests for tho Washington hatchet and it reflects no little credit upon the Calliopean that it has won upon each and every occasion. It should be stated that the Lyceum, however, has succeeded in capturing a favorable decision upon one of the three debates each year.

One thing about th° contest which was half ludicrous and half outrageous was the guying of Burton by tho Sophs, who glared at him through monocles, occasionally taking them off to click their canes. Poor Mr. Burton was fairly wild and repeatedly forgot his speech.

Tho crowning achievement of the evening however was the capture of R. Howard Taylor, President of the Freshman class, by a gang of Sophs. It was known that the Freshmen wero preparing for a great banquet at the llobbius House and that the affair was under the management of Mr. Taylor, who was also down for a response to one of the toasts. Tho Sophs thought that his capture would break up the banquet. In this they wero mistaken for tlie arrangements had been completed and the tickets of admission distributed before six o'clock. After taipjJor as Taylor in compauy with Tliad Baker came out of his room on south Washington street, ho was approached by Sophomores Acker, Cutter, Watsou,

McCullough aud T. 1*. Hall, who told him he was wanted. "1 didn't car to have my clothes torn oil of me by the roughs, one or two of whom 1 actually ieared," said Mr. Taylor, "so 1 went with them. 1 was taken to a cab and then taken out three miles east oi' town to Eltzroth's larm. A tenant had just moved in and the stove was put up after I got there. The Sophs did not abuse me after we got there as 1 laid down on tho sofa and slept most of the time until 2:30 this morning when we returned. About a dozen wild-eyed seniors oame out and stood guard over me until 11 o'elook when they returned to the city. They heard there was to be an attempted lescue, so they were on hands to help tli3 Sophs. 1'. Y. Hall did not go out as he was scared from tho beginning. My being away did not interfere with the banquet in the least and whilst 1 should have preferred beiug there, it might havo beon worse."

The Senior Preps, the allies of tho Sophs, attempted to capture toa^tmaster ViinSellar, but tho young man was too ileet of foot and escaped to Gen. Sanson's where he was protected by the Old War Horso who stood the gang off with guu. Mr. VanSellar was escorted to the banquet by a policeman and was not interfered with. The banquet was a great success and the ejectment ot Senior Ed Randall, who came prowling around, caused much amusement. Prol. Osborne took Mr. Taylor's place on the programme and all things worked together for good.

HORRIBLE.

The Condition of Thomas Ward, of New Richmond Beggars Description. Tbomas Ward, oT New Richmond, who was frozen Weduosday night while wandering naked through the open Melds is in a simply frightful conditiou. His body is horribly cut and lacerated and naked as ho was ho crawled through several tight barbed wire fences in his wanderings and ghastly wounds were inflicted. The fences where he crawled through are coated with blood auil the ground soaked with it wliero ho passed along. Pieces of flesh aro found on tho ground aud ico covorod pond whore the blood on his bare foot freezing tore out chunks of llesh and ho walked on. Tho wounds iu his face, hands and foot wero filled with dirt and small pebbles and his shirt saturated with frozen blood stuck to his person takiug pieces of skin with it when removed. His recovery is despaired of but os there is a bare possibility of saving his life, both foot and one hand wero to be amputated to-day. Ward has been feeble minded for some time and is now almost penniless although he was worth §25,000 several years ago and was one of tlie most prosperous farmers iu tho county. Litigation, ohieily with his father a man over 80 years old, is to what his rum may bo chiefly asonbed. Tho last time Ward was in the city was loss than two weeks ago when ho came to inform the grand jury that Bell Campbell, of New Richmond, had been making some bad break. Ho waited outside the door while numerous witnesses wero examined and linally went away without informing.

Dr. Black, of New Richmoud, was in tho city and stated that the body of Tom Ward was the most frightful spectacle he over saw. The doctor thinks thero is a chance of Tom's recovery as no says an insane man can endure throe times as much as a sane one, tho mental disease really acting as an anesthetic. If Ward does recover ho will bo a helpless cripple for life.

LITIGATION ENDED

a Big

Betweon tlie Barbed Wire Men and Deal BegunTho Chicago Inter-Ocean has tho following to say of a rooont conference of barbed wire men in that city: It was roally not a meeting of the barbed wire men, but the attorneys called to fix up tho final details ot the transfer of tho patents from tho Washburn Moon Company. One of tho attorneys who was expected did not put iu an appearance, and consequently nothing definite was done. The hitch in the settlement of the difficulty was caused caused by two facts: Washburno & Moun refused to accept the price offered, and two firms objected to tho amount of tho purchase price that was assessed to thom. Siuoo tho last meeting hold here tho Columbia Patent Company has been duly chartered under tho State laws ot Kou tucky, and officers and a board of di rectors elected.

It cm bo postivoly stated however, that there is no hitch in tho deal and that a price has been agreed upon. It is now only a question of time enough to close ap the trade. This however will take several weeks as thero aro so many firms to be soon, located in every pait of the country, and so many legal complications of various kinks to be attended to. J. R. Bonnott, of Now York, and

IJU

Crane, of this city, are

attorneys for tho Columbia Patent Company. When the deal is completed all litigation will end and a saving of several hundred thousand dollars a year will be made for all parties.

Death ol RoDert Blair.

On last Thursday Robert Blair,one of Crawfordsville's oldo it and best known citizens, received a stroke of paralysis. He lingered on, gradually sinking until 2:05 o'clock Saturday morniug when ho passed away. Tho funeral occurred at 2 o'clock onSunday afternoon burial at Oat Hill.

He was a line machineBt and for many years was a member of the firm of Blair, Lylo & Co. About twelve years ago he received an injury which resulted iu the loss of an eye and about a year later while pouring a blast of Babbit metal his other eye waspermently injured, since which time he has been wholly incapacitated for business. The sorrowing family have the sympathy of a wide circle of friends in their sad bereavement.

Services on Last Sunday.

About lifty members of tho P. O. S. of A. which is half tho total, assembled at tho Methodist church at night to listen to a sermon appropriate to the dny by Rev. G. W. Switzer. Tho members of tho order occupied tho front seats and with their regalia of rod, white aud blue presented quite a patriotic appearance. Tho rest, ol the church, even the ehapol was filled alhi. Mr. Switzer gave a clear o: ption of

Washington, his con temp ..••irios and his times and also touched upon other American patriots. The lessons ho' drew from these men wero full of benefit for "very young American. He also referred to tlie 1'. O, S. of A. as tho origijator of tho idea of floating au Americau ling in every school yard un\t, commended the order as being tho sworn friend of tho public schoal. Tho musio which consisted of "Columbiu, Gem of tho Ocean," "My Country 'Tis of Thee" and "Auld Lang Syno" was sung with a hearty good will by the boys and added much to tho patriotic feeling of those present.

Dr. Cunningham preached an eloquent sermon at night on Heroes and Heroines in everyday life. In strong languago tho Dootor argued against these who claim that heroism in this aeo is impossible, saying that thero are men and women about us everywhere who aro doing heroic deeds day by day. Ho paid a glowing tributu to ex-Soo-retary Wiudom, picturing him as heroic iu his dovotioh to duty, literally dying ot his post endeavoring to steer tho fiuancial ship between those dangerous rocks, \V'• 11 Street and the Western silver sharks.

Dr. Tuttio in the College Chapel delivered a most impressive address taking lor his subject a Nation's sorrow® upon tho death of its illustrious statesmen. Washington, Lincoln and Sherman were tho coutral figures about which ho clustered others of less note. His poruonal reminisconses of Lincoln's death and tho close of the war held the students with broathless attention.
