Joab Elliott Dead.

Joab Elliott died at 3 o'clock on last Thursday, aged 84 years.

Probate Court.

"VN. S. Moffett has been appointed executor of the estate of Louisa Peirson, deceased.

Win. Mclntyre.

Wm. Mclntyre, aged 65 years, died at his home northeast of the city Tuesday. The funeral occurred on Thursday at Young's Chapel. Mr. Mclntyre was one of the oldest and most respected citizens of the county.

Death of William Doyle.

William Doyle,

,!.gcd

fifteen years,

died at his home near Brown's Valley, of consumption. The deceased was a grandson of James Fisher, of Brown township. The funeral took place on Thursday at 10 o'clock.

Settling With the State.

The County Superintendent has been busy this week settling the book account of the schools of this county with the Indiana School Book Company. It takes quite a sum to settle the bill even though the law does fix the pricc.

The Creamery.

The Crawfordsville Creamery Company is flourishing. Its product ranks with the very best in the New York market and the average amount of butter obtained from a hundred pounds of milk is greater than in most old creamery districts. The home market still demands nearly all the product of the factory.

David Meharry Very Low. David Meharry, the venerable resident of Shawnee Mound, is lying at the point of death with the grippe. Last night he was very low and his death was expected at any moment. Mrs. Elma C. Whitehead, his daughter, is also very ill with congestion of the lungs and bar recovery is regarded as doubtful.-—Lafayette Courier.

"An Outrage, if Time.

It is reported that the Indiana School Book Company will revise the complete geography of the series, the most costly book in the outfit this Summer, in order to get rid of the errors which crept into the present edition. This would seem to the person who looks on as an outrage on the tax-payers, unless the new edition is traded even up for the old one.

To Give a Special Bond.

The late aggregation of the State's intelligence at Indianapolis, misnamed Legislature, passed an act requiring the county Superintendent to give a bond of 8100 for each one thousand inhabitants in their respective counties, bond to be given within 30 days from the passage of the act, but kept the thing so quiet that no one knew it until yesterday. Mr. Zuck will now have to scramble around among his friends and make a bond for $2,800 by next Saturday.

Dorkins Becovered.

Jerre West has found his chickens and old ''Speckle" and "Long neck" now rooBt higher than usual under the instruction of the talented legal owner, and out of neck of the dusky hand which was once stretched out to grab them. He found them alive and well at Sam Beach's place. They had well nigh abandoned hope, and were resigned to give their necks to the ax, when Jerre rescued them. They had been brought there by a dusky gentleman and disposed of at the regular market price, and then fled.No arrest.

Something for Mathematicians. A puzzle in mathematics has been left at THE JOURNAL office by S. D. Kellison, which, while easy to work out, gives an excessively curious result. It is as follows: Take aboard or piece of card eight inches square, which, of course will contain 64 square inches The problem is to cut the board into two right angled triangles and two rhomboids which, when placed together, will make a rectangle 5 inches wide and thirteen inches long, and which of course will contain 65 square inches on the same surface as before produced 64 square inches. Where does the gain of the inch come in, is the question for mathematicians to solve. The diagram may be seen at THE JOURNAL office by any person who may desire to figure on it, •.

HE SOLD LIQUOR."

But,..Claims It Was Done as an Agent Only. Some months since a largo sluggerbuilt individual sailing under the name of I. S. Mossier, came to this city from Chicago and opened up a saloon in the building of Mike Zollers on Main street, formerly occupied by Tuck Cox. Ho fitted up the room in elegant stylo, going in debt for the fixtures, which were of antique oak, and commenced to deal out drinks to the thirsty. Ho did not prosper, luck was against him. He could not pay the rent of the room and Zellars closed the house, while Mossier fied back to his old haunts leaving Mike in possession of the outfit. The Bruns-wick-Balke Company came after him and in due process of law the fixtures, tables, etc., were advertised at Sheriff's sale under execution. As soon as Mike got rid of Mossier he opened up the concern and commenced selling as though nothing had happened. The city authorities attempted to collect city license from Zeller but did not succeed. He refused to pay, declared that he had no interest in the concern and was only acting as the agent of Mossier. Matters continued in this way for awhile when the City Clerk became impatient and filed an affidavit against Zellar charging him with selling Avithout a license. The Mayor administered a fine, and an appeal was taken to the Circuit Court. The case was called for trial this morning when it was agreed to submit the case to the court on an agreed statement of fact, which spoiled all the fun and stopped the expense of a trial. The court now will decide it when lie gets ready.

Death of Mrs. Paul Hughes. America J. Hughes, wife of Paul Hughes, died at her home on west Main street at 8 o'clock Wednesday, from a severe attack of the la grippe. The maiden name of Mrs. Hughes was Vanarsdall. She was the daughter of the late Cornelius Yanarsdall, and a sister of William Vanarsdall, of this city. The deceased was born May 7, 1829, in Mercer county, Ky., near Harrodsburg. In 1830 the family removed to Marion county, Indiana, near to the present site of Indianapolis. She was married to Paul Hughes May 4, 1852, she and her husband living happily together for 39 years. She has been a resident of this county for 40 years. The fruit of the union was two children, Mrs. Mattie C. Thornton, of Michigan City, and Harry Hughes, of Danville, 111. Mrs. Hughes was a member of the Christian church and of the Order of the Eastern Star. The funeral services were held at the late residence of the deceased Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock conducted by Rev. G. W. Switzer. The body was temporarily placed in the receiving vault of the Masonic cemetery, later to be interred at Oak Hill.

Will Go it Alone.

Thursday the trade was consummated which dissolved the wholesale grocery firm of Hadley & King, the latter purchasing the interest of Mr. Hadley in the firm, and will hereafter play a lone hand. Mr. Hadley will remove to Chicago where he will enter into business of some sort. He has had several good offers but is not decided which to accept. Mr. King, the remaining and now sole proprietor of the business here, is a young man of superior business qualifications, and possessed of great enterprise. He will carry the business to success. The best wishes of THE JOURNAL go with Mr. Hadley to Chicago and to the new firm we say "put'er thar!"

Wore Himself Out.

Rev. A. G. Yount, of the Wabash township circuit, was compelled to close a twelve weeks' revival meeting on account of an attack of nervous prostration, but is again recovering. During the meeting one hundred and twenty joined the church. Bev. Yount is an active worker in the church, and is accomplishing much good .—Lafayette Courier.

No Changes.

A telegram from the President of the Monon to the general manager, announces that no changes will be made in the management of that road, neither in the operation nor policy, and asking that the fact be imparted to connecting lines.

Probate Court.

In the Probate Court Lida Watson has been appointed guardian of the heirs of James B. Wray.

It requires six or more to organize a subordinate lodge. Upon the organization of as many as five subordinate lodges a charter may be obtained to organize a grand lodgo for the State.

FIVE THOUSANDMORE.

Wabash College Receives a Starter on the Thomson Chair of Botany. A number of friends of Wabash College have been for some time working to have,the chair of Botany endowed and at the same time to memorialize the name of Thomson, which has been so prominently connected with the institution since its foundation up to a few years ago. The idea was to get $5,000 contributions until a sufficient amount was raised. To-day THE JOURNAL has the pleasure of announcing that the first $5,000 has arrived and the donor is Wm. S. Hubbard, of Indianapolis. Mr. Hubbard is one of Simon Yandes' most intimate friends and is a trustee of the college. Fifteen thousand dollars is in Bight and will be announced later.

BitterSweet.

On Thursday in the circuit court Amanda Hayes appeared with her attorney, M. W. Bruner, and the accusation was made against Franklin S. Hayes the recreant lord and master of the fair plaintiff, that ho had abandoned her and was now a wanderer. He had failed to provide for her comfort, and had been guilty of other things too numerous to mention. Franklin was called three times and came not, and the court cut the lengthened thong. But sorrow got in her work at last. The court put in the proviso that no marrying should be done on her part for two years.

TACKLED A WRONG MAN

SUPT. HARTMAN, OF THE MIDLAND. THRESHED BY AN EMPLOYE.

The Workmen Want Their Wages—Wreck on the Midland and Two Men Hurt.

Special to The .Journal: WAVKLAND, April 1.—There is much discontentment here among tho employes of tho Midland on account receiving no pay for work done long since. The men are particularly exercised because they think that the road has had ready money several times. Yesterday Gonoral Superintendent Hartman was in town and tho roport got abroad that he had come to pay tho men. They congregated in tho depot to meot him and requesting their monoy selected Will Mooro as spokesman. He told Mr. Hartman ho would like to bo paid and also remarked that ho would not be allowed to leave until a settlement was mado. Ho made no hostile demonstration, however. Hartman pulled off his overcoat and said he would go. As he stopped out of the door ho caught

Mooro by tho throat but it turned out that ho had tackled the wrong man for Mooro recovered himsolf and gave his assailant a severe threshing. Public sentiment hero with Mooro and the employes.

Two Men Hurt.

Soction boss, John Piekard was caught between the coach and a hand oar breaking his right leg in two places below the knee. Will Smith was also bruised. Both were brought in town and cared for by Dr. Straughan. The section men had just removed thoir hand car from tho track and were waiting for the train to pass when the accident occurred.

SHALL WE LOBE HIM?

The Prospects £are that Prof. Coulter Will Be the Next President of Indiana University.

THE JOURNAL stated Tuesday that it did not think Prof. John M. Coulter would accept the position of President of the Indiana State University. Now THE JOURNAL predicts that he will. Prof. Coulter was seen but would express no opinion on the subject for he said: "It would be in bad grace for me to accept or docline a position which has not been offered me." The board of trustees of the University do not meet until next Wednesday but it can be safely said that they will then offer our famous botanist the place to be vacated next Fall by David S. Jordon. Before Prof. Jordon became President about six years ago Prof. Coulter had an offer of the place, or rather it lay between Coulter and Jordon and each insisted that the other should take it. The salary was then $2,500 and the University was in a state of ohaos. Now the salary is $4,000 with perquisities amounting to $1,500 more and President Jordon has made the institution rank with Ann Arbor and the State University of Wisconsin as the three leading universities of the West. So the situation is entirely different. Prof. Coulter's present salary is $1,800. President Jordon it is understood is anxious to take Prof. Coulter to Leland University with him. So taking all things into consideration it looks as if we should have to lose our distinguished friend who has so long reflected glory on Wabash college and Crawfordsville. President Tuttle was interviewed as to whether any extra inducements would be made to have him stay but he said that matter lay entirely with the trustees.

Baptising at the Foot of Washington Street. Elder Nowols, R. W. Thompson and Archie Brown will assist Elder Oliphant in holding meeting the last of the week at the Primitive Baptist church. There will be preaching Friday night and on Saturday and Sunday at 10:30 a. m., and at night. There will be baptizing at 3 m., Saturday probably at the foot of Washington street.
