Bad .Runaway,

Sunday morning J. H. Phelps, of Shannondale, and Miss Fannie Chrisman, of this city, were out riding. While passing through Englewood the horse took fright and plunging into the gutter in front of the residence of J. W Skidmore upset the buggy breaking it to pieces. Mr, Phelps and Miss Chrisman were in the ruins and were quickly assisted out by the neighbors who arrived on the scene. The lady was not hurt seriously, but Mr. Phelps did not escape so easily. He was fearfully bruised especially about the legs and was not able to walk. He was taken home suffering greatly.

The State Camp Meeting.

The approaching State convention of the Patriotic Sons of America, which convenes in this city on August 2 and 3, promises to be largely attended and everything, will be done to make it a great success. The main parade will be Tuesday morning, followed by the public exercises and the convention of the State camp. The Commandery of the P. O. S. of A. will give an exhibition drill that afternoon and will act as an escort tor the parade in the morning. Large delegations are expected from Indianapolis and other places and in a few days a general programme will be announced.

Glad Tidings For fettit.

Spcclal tothe Journal: WAYNETOWN, July S.—George Small yesterday evening, while loading hay, fell from his wagon and broke his leg just above the ankle. Mr. Small was foreman of the jury in the famous Pettit murder case.

Another Sixty Days.

Poor old Fred Pettit will probably die of old age before his case is ever presented for the consideration of the Supreme Court. He was taken to the prison north about the first of January in '91 and his attorneys then proclaimed boldly that they would have him out before spring, but they didn't. Their brief has not yet been filed with the Supreme Court, although they have been granted an extension of time on several occasions. The time for filing expired again the other day and Arthur Stuart hustled over to Indianapolis and after considerable hustling succeeded in securing another extension of (30 days. This, of course, gives the State an additional GO days to file an answer. If the brief should be filed at the end of the CO days just granted the defense would have six months to file its answer and then the State won't rush things to get that answer in.

Montgomery County Folks. Mrs. James Graham, who complained yesterday to the officers of her husband deserting her, sent her children to Darlington this morning to be taken care of by Mr. Graham's parents. They are two bright little children, a boy and a girl, but are both too young to realize that they are probably to go through the world he same as orphans. The women with whom Graham was seen at LaFayette was Mrs. Mary Martz and she returned to the city yesterday, and secured a divorce from her husband who it is said is serving a term in the

tentiary. Mrs. Graham says her husband left his home against his will, and that the Martz women compelled him to go. She says that Mr. Graham had acted strangely about the house for several days, and seemed terribly dejected and downcast. She believes that he will return to her and repent of the wrong he has done.—Frankfort News.

Fair Horse 'Women.

The Fair Association has definitely arranged for the appearance of Misses Lola and Juanita Grimes here during the fair in September. These young ladies constitute an attraction which will bring hundreds of people here who would otherwise stay away. They are but seventeen and fiCteen years of age respectively, but handle the ribbons like old stagers, having been apt pupils of their famous father, Gee Grimes, of Terre Haute. They will appear on the track on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons and also on Tuesday will give an exhibition for the children. On Thursday afternoon one of them will lower the track record, which is 2:21 provided the weather is favorable. One of the features of this novel exhibition is a race between a pacer, trotter and runner driven by Mr. Grimes and his two daughters.

^a/ding the successor to

G_ gwitze® at the Metho(Ji8t

church next year. The talk of getting Eev. J. II. Holhngsworth has been dissipated by the determination of his South Bend congregation to keep him there next year. The probability now is that Rev. Frost Craft, of Trinity church at LaFayette, will be the next minister here if he remains in this conference. Crawfordsville will be the best place open and it presents a very pleasant field. Mr. Craft is one of the most popular pastors in the State and the church would be doing most excellently if it could obtain him. It is to be hoped that Mr. Craft will remain in this conference and will come to this charge.

Escaped Prom the Pocr Farm There was a bold hair raising escape made from our beautiful county asylum July and the very pigs in tno door yard there are weeping to-day over the affair. The lady who escaped is the chrriuing and piquant Cora Bell, the Ladoga wild girl who can eat more pie and turn more "flip flops" in half an hour than a whole regiment of boys. Cora escaped at night and boarded a Monon freight train as it made the grade north of the fill. It is supposed that she dropped off at Ladoga to see the boys before going on to one of the co-educational institutions further south. The report that she threshed Supt. Long and tied him to the bed post before leaving is probably untrue.

The Midland Sold.

The Chicago and Southeastern railroad, known as the Midland, was sold this afternoon by the Sheriff of the county on eighty-one decrees and bid in by judgment plaintiffs, who now own the road. The bidding was done by plaintiffs' attorneys, Hutchison Hutchison, Payne, Herner Knight, all of this city. The attorneys believe the laborers will eventually realize their judgments.—Brazil Speeial in Chicago Tribune.

Twelve Hew Eouses.

A Chicago firm has bought twelve lots in Milligan's addition and will at once begin the erection of twelve cottages costing from 8700 to SI,000 each. The cottages will front on Milligan street, Charles Miller, the agent is here to sujjerintend their construction.

The Carving of Mr. Ohucky Fell. One would hardly suppose upon beholding the manly proportions of Mr. Cliuekey Fell that anybody would ever think of carving choice surloin steaks from his anatomy. Such an idea seems to have possessed Mr. Pete VantLeven, however, last Saturday evening. The gentlemen were discussing the labor troubles and quietly munching beer in Annabel's valley saioon when a dispute arose. Mr. Fel'l thought that the Governor of Pennsylvania should call out the troopb and Mr. VantLeven thought he should order them out by a written command dispensing with a vocal call which he believed to be inconsistent with the dignity resting upon the governor of a great commonwealth like Pennsylvania. Very naturally as the issue was so grave the discussion became somewhat hot and ended by Mr. VantLeven, drawing a razor with a handsome bone handle and a bright polished blade and going after a steak from Mr. Fell. If Mr. Fell had not had on a hickory shirt he would probably have contributed his body to an untimely grave right there but that shirt saved him. lie received a deep cut or so as it was and is to-day receiving the congratulations of his many admiring friends.

An Honorable Retirement.

William Robertson has retired from active connection with the Crawfordsville Collin Company and from now on will enjoy a well earned rest. He has been in his position for twenty-four years so that his very name ls indissolubly connected with that of the company. On March 1, 18(!8, a firm composed of William Robertson, Capt. Robert E. Bryant, Paul Burns and Frank Cox was organized for the purpose of manufacturing coffins and furniture. In 1874 a company was formed with the members of the old firm as managers and the furniture business was dropped. During all these years from 18(58 to the present time Mr. Robertson has occupied the position of treasurer and superintendent. Capt. Bryant succeeds him in this position and M. B. Binford succeeds Capt. Bryant as secretary. Capt. Bryant is now the only original member of the firm in active connection with the factory.

Why An Increase

The increase in the city assessment from §.75 to 8.90 on each 8100 worth of taxable property will be a matter of some surprise to many. It is due to the fact that last year the calculation was made before the board of equalization had knocked off 25 per cent, from the reported valuation. This left the city in the hole about $6,000 last year and a part of the sum has to be made up this year. This together with the increased valuation since last year by the board's general cut of 25 per cent, caused the difference. It might alco be stated that investments here are not as large as they were last yebr by considerable.

Offered Por Sale.

The Battle Ground camp meeting association has offered its famous grounds for sale and the probabilities now are that they will be purchased for the soldiers' home which will probably be located there. The association has concluded that camp meetings are failures in this day from both a financial and spiritual standpoint. The day of their usefulness was in the past and the expenseo necessary to maintain one successfully in this day at Battle Ground would necessitate the running in of Sunday excursions and. the adoption of other methods not in accordance with the rules of the church.

Received as Members.

W. A. Bodel, of LaFayette, made an interesting talk at the Methodist church Sunday night and at the conclusion of the services the following persons were received into membership: Fred Nichoils and family from the Illinois conference by letter Misses Bessie and Heltie Wheat on probation, and the following class into full membership: ]\Irs. Flora Bird, Mrs. Lavina C. Douglas. Mrs. Flora Tribby, Ingram Hills, Silas Wilhite, Misses Bulah Creeters, Minnie Liter, Fannie Britton, Susie Adams and Myrta Petro.

Too Mucli Ice Water.

On Saturday Charley Conners, the telegraph operator at Colfax, drank too much ice water and, being seized with congestion of the bowels, died. His funeral occurred here Monday where he had many friends, and was conducted by the Order of Railroad telegraphers, the internment occurring at Calvary cemetery. Mr. Conners was a popular young man and his death comes upon his friends in the nature of a shock.

ITS ANNUAL REPORT.

The State Board of Chanties Gives Some Interesting Pacts. The annual report of the State Board of Charities is at hand and a glance through it discloses some interesting figures. The report on the Montgomery county poor farm and jail is given as "no change since last report." In tho last report the poor farm was commended with a few improvements suggested. The jail was also noted as a good one but the system of bathing was roundly condemned as both too incomplete and too public. Tho bedding was also criticised severely, but the general management accepted. This year's report shows the last annual expenditure the county for the maintenance of tho poor to have been 815,898.04, or 8.5(37 per capita. Of this amount 81,300 had been expended for medical treatment and 82,584 for tho Orphans' Home, Some of tho counties expend over 81.07 per capita for tho poor, Warren county heading the list.

Crawford county spends the least per capita, her rate being only 8013, a disgrace to the county, which has not oven a county building."

The counties with reference to expenditures for the poor are divided into eight classes. Montgomery stands in the third class, expending over 8.50 per capita for her needy, there being only fifteen counties making a bettor showing. In some of the counties, however, the rate is greatly cut down by the poor farms which in thrifty hands are made more than self maintaining. Ours is not so, expending 83,279 over and above all revenues. The report contains the following concerning tho Orphans' Home of this county:

The Orphans' Homo is very well located, on a farm of seventeen acres of very good land, on a main road, ono and a half miles west of Crawfordsville. The land and buildings are owned by tho county the personal property belongs to a Board of Managers, who conduct the business, appoint the Matron and pay her salary, she hiring her own help. The furniture was mostly provided by voluntary contributions. The Commissioners make the usual allowance of 25 cents per day for each child, which, with the large garden, etc., supports the institution, although the number of children is not very large. The house is a good sized frame building fairly well adapted to its purpose, and is kept in very good order by the competent Matron. Efforts are made by the Board of Managers and the Matron to place the children out in good homgfc with tolerable success, especially as to the girls, who are in good demand Some trouble has been experienced from the relatives of the children placed out, and also through persons being allowed to take children without either adoption or indenture. Several children have been brought to the Home from among those recently placed in the county from Boston by the New England Home for Little Wanderers. In each case, however, a good home has soon been found for them. The children attend the district school. There were twenty-five children present at the time of the last visit, nineteen boys and six girls. They looked hearty and well cared for.

TOO GREAT A SHOOK.

The Sudden Marriage of Her Daughter Causes the Unnerving of Mrs. McOlure. The home of widow McClnre on east Jefferson street Sunday night was the scene of quite a tragic episode. It appears that for some time past Henry McMullen had ben paying great attention to the widowed daughter of Mrs. McClure, Mrs. Jennie Abbott. Finally the couple determined to get married and set upon Sunday as the happy day for the blissful event. Nothing was said of the arrangement to Mrs. McClure, however, but along about the gloaming Mr. McMullen and his brideelect Blipped over to the residence of Rev. G. P. Fuson where the ceremony duly took place. They then entered a carriage and were driven out to Fiskville where the groom resides. About an hour after this Mrs. McClure was informed of the marriage and immediately began to carry on at an awful rate.

Her lamentations aroused tho whole neighborhood and people running in found her to bo suffering from a very violent attack of hysterics. She could not be quieted but cried and moaned in a most pitiful and heart rending manner for over two hours. The suddenness with which the marriage was consummated and the news broken to lier had completely unnerved Mrs. McClure. "T-fi

The Waynetown Hornet has been sold to Robert Osborn and John 'Small, who will publish it future. John Brant who has been in control for some time past will go to Yeedersburg to assist C. M. Berry on the News. The new management of the Hornet will no doubt greatly improve the paper.

The great and renowned circus of James Travis will be in this city on July 28. It is one of the best shows in the country and carries Melville, the famous rider, and other performers. The proprietor is a brother of Hon. C. M. Travis of this city and is one ot the wealthiest citizens of Grand Rapids, Mich.

An Immense Snake.

The loving couples who delight to stroll through the college campuB and whisper the old, old story, had better look out and keep off tho grass. There are snakes there which are big enough to eat them up, love and all. This morning Mart Burk, the custodian of the grounds, had an exciting battle with one of the reptiles. He met the snake between tha library and Peek hall and went after each other without even saying "good morning." Mr. Burk had a hoe and after some hard blows killed the snake which fought furiously. It tneasuied over live feet in length and was a blue racer of the most vicious kind.

NUMBER 32

THE SUCCESSION.

An Alumnus Addresses a Pew Words to ttie Trustees of Wabash College. For over a year the trustees of Wabash college have been hunting a man to place in charge cf that institution, and to date tlioy have been unsuccessful. They thought tho matter was settled when they called Dr. Kane, of Bloomington, ifl., but the Doctor has declined and now the trustees are again, at sea. With all due respect to tho trustees of Wabash college the Journal would suggest that as a body they are not alive. There are gentlemen on the board who move and have their being but it is almost necessary to apply a galvanic battery to develop evidences of

life in the board as an organization. During the twelve months this board has been hunting for a president they appear to have confined their search solely to the ministerial field. Thirty years ago tho impression prevailed tha't no one but a minister was capable of engineering a college, and the Wabash trustees appear to bo of this mind still. Tho good men are in error. Wo do not sow wheat as wo aid thirty yoars ago neither do we sow knowledge as we did then. There was a groat deal of creed and sentiment in college lines thirty years ago. There is little of either today. It is all business and it should be of little consequence whether the new president of Wabash college is a preacher, a lawyer, a philosopher, a journalists, a physician, or an uhd«5rtaker. Ho should be a good business man, a Christian, 3 educated and cultured and of good address. If he can plan it matters little whether he can preach, for if he is a good planner ho can hiro good preachers.

It takes a business head to run a big concern, nnd tho educational institutions of Indiana have become great institutions and concerns. A business head 'i has made Purdue a magnificent success, and no one ever heard of a sermon coming from it either. And tho same is true of the State University at Bloomington. Two or three fine business men are planning for DePauw constantly. Wabash college has money. Her history is an inspiration. All the graces of nature and art make beautiful her location in the most charming of all of Indiana's small cities, Crawfordsville. Now if she can only get an active young man with vinegar in his system to take up tho work where the sainted Tuttle left off she will be all right. But her trustees should bear in mind that a col-1 lege is a business institution, that there is competition in the college world, and that one gill of huetle is worth a gallon of meekness and theological dogma. As a starter toward securing the right kind of a president it might be an excellent idea for the present board of trustees to resign and turn the job over to some one else.—Delphi Journal.

Journalism at Harrodsbura A low down dirty scoundrel milked a cow belonging to one of the proprietors of the Journal one night last week. If the lousy cur is not able or too stingy to buy his milk for coffee or for a dish of ice cream, if he will aBk for it we will give it to him. If the offense is repeated we will employ a detective to Bell the fool cow for being too intimate with strangers.—Harrudshury Journal.
