ANew Building Material.

One by one Indiana's vast resources are becoming known to the world. Among the more recent developments is the opening of a quarry in Parke county from which is taken a very handsome and valuable variety of brown sandstone. This Btone, easy to quarry, becomes almost as hard as flint upon exposure to the air and it is destined to become popular and famous as a high class building material. Already considerable of it has been employed for building purposes in Chicago.

WRITING BY TELEGRAPH.

An Exhibition of the Invention Between Orawt'ordsville and Indianapolis. Sunday afternoon, on a wire between this city and Indianapolis, the invention which permits writing by telegraph, was put to its first and what proved to be a highly successful test The first message sent was a special to the Indianapolis Journal announcing the royalty for the month of February on Clodfelter's "Early Vanities." The invention works to a charm. The whole effect of it is that the motions of the pencil in the hand of the transmitter at one end of the wire are exactly reproduced by the pencil at the receiving station, thus reproducing not only the words written by the chirography of the writer as well. The invention is covered by eighteen patents and it is claimed will revolutionize telegraphy. It can be used at any distance. Contracts and signatures can be. made at any distance and mistakes are impossible. A large crowd was in the room of the Postal Telegraph Co. yesterday and witnessed the workings of the instrument. Harry Etheridge, of Pittsburg, officiated at the Crawfordsville end of the line at the exhibition Sunday and W. E. Gump at the Indianapolis terminus.

Dr. Hutchings Hurt.

Last Saturday evening Dr. B. F. Hutchings received a hasty summons to the home of James Breaks, northwest of the city and started at once in his buggy drawn by a young horse. He( was driving at a rapid gait when suddenly near the Iron Bridge the horse became frightened at some object near the roadside and stopped short. The suddenness of the stop threw the doctor forward from his seat to the road brusing him about the head and breaking his arm just below his elbow where it had been broke once before. He, although badly injured, managed to control his horse and lead it to a neighboring house the inmates of which drove him to his home on South Washington street where Dr. Ensminger set the badly fractured limb. Dr. Hutchings is resting easily today considering the severe nature of his hurt and will assume his duties as soon as possible.

God's Ohosen People.

Marshal Ensminger has received the following letter from detective Shackleford, of Atlanta:

ATLANTA, GA., March 22,1891.—DEAR SIB:—The matter I wrote you about some time since in regards to Brother Hickman, of this city, has been settled satisfactorily. It was of a private nature and nothing the public had anything to do with. Brother Hickman stands well in this community and is liked by all who know him, and there will never be any harm befall him while he lives among God's chosen people. (The southern people.)

Crawfordsville and the World's Fair. To the Editor

JOURNAL:

In your remarks in a recent issue of THE JOURNAL, relative to the appointment of Prof. John L. Campell and Col. John Lee, by Gov. Hovey, as members of the State boa 1 of managers for the World's Fair, you did not give Crawfordsville and Montgomery county all the credit to which they are entitled. Section 2 of the act approved March 9, 1891, creating the 3tate board of managers, provides among other things that "The Governor of the state, the President of the State Board of Agriculture, the State Geologist, the Chief of the Indiana Bureau of Statistics, the World's Columbian Commissioners and the Board of lady managers of the World's Columbian Commission from the state of Indiana and their respective alternates shall be ex-officio members of the board of the World's Fair managers for the State of Indiana." Our fellow townsmen Chas. M. Travis holds the position as alternato Republican Commissioner and Miss Mary H. Krout, of Crawfordsville, (now employed on the Chicago Inter Ocean) holds the position as alternate Republican Lady manager for the State. Their commissions are signed by the President of the United States and they are ex-officio members of the State Board of Managers. Thus Montgomery county will have four votes and four representatives on the state board. X.

THE POOR WOMEN OP CHINA.

Their Life iB a Miserable Slavery—Mrs. Eathie Oorey Ford. The Methodist church was crowded to overflowing Sunday night with persons interested in the great cause of foreign missions. It was the occasion of the annual thanks-offering service under the auspices of the Ladies' Foreign Missionary society and they had secured Mrs. Kathie Corey Ford to make the address. She was for four years a medical missionary at Foo Chow, China, and is a graduate of the Ann Arbor Medical School and has the honor of being the only woman who is a honorary member of thelndiana Medical Society. She is a pleasant looking business-like lady and speaks with a clear, sweet voice which was easily heard in every part of the church. She said that China was abandoned in arts and science at the time

Isaiah professed her conversion to Christianity but for several centures past had made no advancement on account of the dreadful curse of idolatry. Idolatry made a shame of every woman in China and it was among the women that the missionaries did their best work. Men are not needed as missionaries to China because they cannot reach the women. There are now 35,000 Christians in China, 10,000 being white missionaries. Mrs. Ford related numerous pathetic stories of persecution which were affecting in the extreme and which no doubt unloosed many purse strings for the collection which followed. The amount was $30. After the service Mrs. Ford met with several young men of Wabash college who expects to be missionaries and talked with them.

The Ladies Foreign Missionary Society recently made Mrs. Sarah Heaton, known to everybody as "grandma," a life member of the society by paying §20. Other life members are Mrs. J. W. Greene, Mrs. J.' R. Bryant, Mrs. G. W. Bennett and Mrs. G. W. Switzer.

KIDNAPPED HIS OWN CHILD.

J. T. Metzger Takes Possession of his Daughter, Kate, But Soon Frees Her. The north-west portion of the city was all torn up Sunday morning by the sensation of the Metzger family. It seems that for some time past J. T. Metzger and wife have been living apart, Mrs. Metzger retaining charge of the three children and household on west Market street. Mr. Metzger had made his preparations to go to Chicago yesterday and in the morning met his little daughter, Katie, aged six yoars, who was on her way to the First Presbyterian Sunday school. He took the youngster in charge and she at once began to squeal with all her might and otherwise gave demonstrations of her sore displeasure. Some of the neighbors arriving on the bcene Mr* Metzger released the squalling infant, although it is hard to see how anyone could prevent his taking her off had he been so disposed. The freed child ran home and then Mrs. Metzger roused the neighborhood and prepared to defend herself against the invasions of her errant lord and master. She interviewed the authorities and is not going to have any of her brood carried off if she can help it. It is not known whether Mr. Metzger went north or not.

9 THE ATHENS IN THE SWIM.

An Intellectual and Highly Entertaining Cook Fight Takes Place Yesterday. Crawfordsville in these latter days is nothing is not interesting. Our prize fighters have brought us both credit and renown, and the various crimes and misdemeanors of our citizens are celebrating the name of the Hoosier Athens far and wide. Anew feature was added to our list of amusements Sunday when about forty of the local toughs went west of town near the iron bridge and passed the quiet Sunday afternoon in arranging and carrying out a cock fight. Both birds were in excellent form but the contest was a short one as within four minutes one of the cocks dug his spur into its antagonist head killing it instantly. Willie's rooster was dead and he shed many trying tears as he and his gang gave up the good stuff they had wagered on the outcome. Nearly every sport in the crowd had up his entire pile and consequently about half of them came back to the city dead broke. This healty Sunday recreation will be continued in future.

Entertained.

Saturday night a number of the friends of J. A. Clark tendered him a surprise at his home on West Wabash avenue. The surprise was in honor of his 59th birthday and all present heartily enjoyed themselves. A fine arm chair was presented to Mr. Clark to support his bones during his declining years. Mrs. Ryker and Mate Snyder, of Jamestown, were among those present.

A Fortunate Young liady. Miss Jennie Martin, 176 North St. Roohester, N. Y., tays: "I suffered long from kidney complaints—home physicians failed to afford ..ellef. A fr end induced me to try Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, of Roundout, N Y. The effect was wonderful. When I had taken three bottles I was cured and have had no trouble sinee.
