Tom Oraig in It,

A Ladogu gentleman recentlv returned from the West reports having met an old fellow citizen, Tom Craig, out in Texas. When Mr. Craig left Crawtordsville he was a slave of the drink habit but he completely reformed three years ago and is now married and quite prosperous in the Lone Star State.

An $8,000 Verdict.

Sarah Trsadwav in her suit against the Monon secured a verdict and judgment for 88,000 Tuesday at Greencastle, through her attorneys Crane & Anderson and M. D. White. The road's attorneys will appeal the case. Mrs. Treadwav lives at Spencer, Owen county, and while visiting George Rice at Linden a year ago last January received permanent spinal injuries on the Monon road.

The young ladies' missionary society of the Methodist church met at the residence of Miss Maine Gerard Tuesday afternoon and elected officers for the ensuing year as follows: Miss Nellie Coutant, President Miss Maud Cohoon, Vi2ePresident Miss Florence Durham, Secretary Miss Matie Martin, Treasurer. The society will give a musicale at the home of Miss Martin in the near future. Before adjourning the society was served to chocolate by Miss Gerard.

Elder Ja obs Sues Again.

Rev. Francis acobs, late of Whitesville, and now of the Montgomery county bar, is again after the trustees of the Whitesville Universalist church. He to-day again filed his suit for §40.50 against J. C. Goodbar and the other trustees. The trial of this case it will be rememberd was prevented by spectators in McGilliard's court at Whitesville and Elder Jacobs has now filed it with Judge Chumasero where he proposes to get judgment or break a suspender trying. The case will be entertaining and in all probability exciting.

Mr. Switzer's Successor.

Since last Sunday there has been quite a little sentiment aroused in Methodist circles in favor of Mr. Switzer being succeeded by Rev. H. L. Kindig, of Covington, who occupied the pulpit of the church on Sunday. Mr. Kindig is a graduate of DePauw and of the Evanston Theological Seminary. The greatest objection to him seems to bo his youth but a number of the prominent members of the church think that that should not stand in the way. Mr. Holhngsworth, of South Bend, is still the probability, however, and Mr. Tucker, of Rochester, id decidedly an improbability.

Death of Stephen A. Williams. Stephen Alonzo Williams, son of John E. and Mary Williams, was born July 31, 1862, on a farm four miles northeast of Ladoga. There his childhood days were passed.He was not a member of any church, but his mother having united with the Christian church in her girlhood, and being a believer in the Christian faith, he was taught from childhood the true principles of right, and that "Gou doeth all things well." He was honest, and firm in his convictions, loved and respected by all who knew his true character always ready to help in time of need. He was once a student in the Ladoga Normal, was an apt scholar. He wanted his mother who had watched over him all through his delicate childhood near him through his late sickness and told her as she sat by his dying bed of the beautiful visions that were passing before him. His little daughter, Blanche, who died just three months ago, appeared to him with a multitude of angels. He told his mcther that his time had come, and that he was so happy and willing to go, and with a smiling countenance he passed peacefully away Sept. 23, 1892. A brief but beautiful and touching sermon was delivered by Rev. F. M. Wright by the casket near the open grave. He leaves a wife, two children, father, mother, two sisters, three brothers, and a large number of friends to mourn their loss. He had typhoid fever. A very large concourse attended his funeral.

Mr. Fuson is Better.

THE JOURNAL, has received a postal card from Rev. G. P. Fuson, at Colorado Springs, which will bring joy to many hearts. It reads as follows: sTo the Editor The Journal.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Sept. 24, 1892.— DEAR SIR:—Please announce through your paper that my health is so far improved that I think it quite safe for me to return and take up my work again. 1 shall be in my pulpit again on Sunday, Oct. 9, unless Providence orders otherwise. With thanks for past favors I am Respectfully Yours,

G. P. FUSON.

A Peculiar Suit.

A novel and rather interesting suit is drawing to a close in the circuit court. Some time ago Ezra Yoris bought the tax title to forty acres of the land of the widow of the late Col. John Lee. He paid between 830 and 840 for the title and when the time for redemption had run out he sold the title to John L. Goben. Mr. Goben then began suit for possession of the land. Mr. Goben will not

it for the S40 and wants it un­

conditionally. In point of absolute fact he wants that widow's forty acres for liis forty dollars and if the law will let him he means to have it. HH »t

A Light Business.

The grand jury reported Wednesday afternoon and returned but 14 indictments. The county institutions were reported as all in good condition and some slight improvements suggested in the Orphans' Home. The number of indictments returned is unusually smal and seems to indicate that a return was avoided wherever possible. The usual number returned is between 50 and 60, but so close is it now to election that violators of the liquor laws and other evil doers got off

very

lightly. .•

The Tippecanoe Oounty Commissioners Sit Down iiaid On Pettit's Attorneys. When the county commissioners con vened at 10 o'clock this morning, the attorneys, who stood before the bar of justice for Mr. Fred Pettit, now serving a life sentence for the murder of his wife, were present with their attorneys, Stuart Bros, and Hammond, to give evidence why their claim of 812,000 for legal services, should be allowed. Thomas Gaylord, and one of the attorneys in the petition, was examined by Judge Hammond. In response to queries he recited in detail the work done by the attorneys in the case, and was afterwards questioned by James B. Milner. In brief, he said that the late Arthur Stuart made the trip to Moline, 111., to investigate a rumor. Mr. Stuart also went to Chicago, and Ivumler and Gaylord and Colonel DeHart made the trips to Shawnee Mound. Stuart and Gaylord made the trips to Indianapolis, and as a result of the trial the office of Kumler cfc Gaylord was closed for six weeks. The examinations as to strychnia poisoning and what effect it would have on the human system, was made by Colonel II. P. DeHart, and the looking up of medical authority was made by Sir. Gaylord. The witness did not know how much time had been occupied in the investigation of rumors. Mr. Gaylord thought his time spent out of the city was worth 850 a day, and the office work 825 a day, and he.fixed the services at 812,000 from the character of the case, the year's time devoted to all its details and closed with the remark that for many a defense of the kind the attorneys had received 840,000. The attorneys had expended several hundred dollars in railroad fare, the purchase of new law and medical books, hotel books and sundry expenditures. A note for something over 8300, payable to the late Arthur Stuart, was now in in the Merchants'

Bank and recently 813 in interest had been paid on it. Mr. Gaylord recited the long time spent in looking up legal questions, the preparation and enormity of the brief filed in the Supreme Court and illustrated the many complications in its preparation. A single question of law or evidence must be thoroughly commented upon, thus requiring days of search and writing. Altogether he thought he had put in seventy-five days on the brief and this was a low estimate. No other witnesses were examined and when Mr. Gaylord had finished the board retired in private consultation with county attorney Milner.—LaFayette Courier.

The commissioners after discussing the matter allowed the attorneys but 83,000 for their services. A howl was made and the account will probably not be accepted. —Speaking of the action of theTippecanoe commissioners in the allowance for the defense of Pettit, Mr. Kumler says: "We offered to settle the matter for 85,400, pay all the expenses incurred and carry the case through the

Bupreine

court, but they would not accept it. We will never accept 83,000. All we ask is a fair compensation. We will not accept a pittance."

The Orop Conditions.

The report of the Indiana weather service for the week ending September 27, says: No rain fell except in a few localities, light showers on one day excessive temporature and much sunshine prevailed these conditions were beneficial to farm work, growing crops and pasturage and ripened corn rapidly most of it is out of danger from frost much is in shock and on only few fields, the grain is still soft of the late planted com the crop seems to have improved rapidly in many localities and promises a good yield wheat sowing is nearly completed everywhere and the early sown wheat is coming up groen, strong and vigorous.

Hood's Sarsaparilla absolutely cures all diseases caused by impure blood and it builds up the whole system.

DISCOVERY DAY.

Pielimiuary Arrangements Made to Oele brate the Occasion Properly. According to aunouncment a meeting was held at the Mayor's office last Tuesday to make preliminary arrangements for a grand celebiation of Discovery Day on Oct. 21. Mayor Bandel occupied the chair. Earnest speeches were made by Father Dinnen, Rev. 11. S. Inglis, Mayor Bandel, Frank Maxwell, Prof. Wellington, John Wampler and others, all warmly favoring the idea and pledging their efforts for the success of the undertaking. That these men are back of it is enough to assure the public of

itB

success. A committee

composed of Father Dinnen, Rev. 1{. S. Inglis, John Wampler, Flute McGilliard and Frank Maxwell was appointed to see merchants and members of secret and military organizations and get them interested so that they will bo sure to attend the next public meeting which is Tuesday evening at the court house. A committee on programme was appointed consisting of Frank Maxwell, Prof. Neff and Prof. Wellington. Already the Knights of St. John, P. O. S. of A. and G. A. R. have intimated that they will take part in the parade. Prof. Wellington will have all the city school children out and expects many of the country schools to come in decorated wagons. Father Dinnen will have the children of St. Charles Academy in line also. So far everything is progressing nicely and if you are asked to Help do BO willingly for the sake of the occasion and fort he reputation of our city.

These stones are at the freight depot of the Big 4 railroad, and the relatives and friends of the deceased are requested to take them and set them up ut the graves as soon as possible. It will be necessary to call on Chas. M. Travis, chairman of the committee, and get an order for the stones before going to the railroad agent. The following headstones were received several years ago and are still on hands:

Nosier, Calloway Murray, Hiram M. Vanarsdall, James BarcuB, J. M. McElliott, William Endicott, William C. Munford, J. C. Newell, Augustus E. Shevelin, .Tames Blair, A. T, Gallowuv, George.

If these stones are not taken and set at the graves toon they will be returned to the Government. If they are not wanted for any reason the person knowing that fact should advise Mr Travis at once.

Money for Wabash College. Rev. T. D. Fyffe is among our citizens soliciting funds for Wabash College to put in the fund of §30,000 which will secure a like sum from Hon. Simon Yaudes. He started out to-day taking with him a paper which already has 84,200 on it, subscribed mostly by the trustees living here in Crawfordsville and the faculty. Mr. Fyffe will work among citizens whose relations with the college are not so close. He should be given a considerate hearing everywhere as he no doubt will and we will be greatly disappointed if all he approaches do not respond with a liberal donation, liberal in proportion to their means. It is not every day that that we can secure a §60,000 investment here by the donation of S10,000. This last sum is what Crawfordsville's subscriptions should amount to.
