A Large Purchase.
Few persons in Crawfordsville are aware, perhaps, of the large scale on which the Indiana Wire Fence Company does business. Nov. 11 representatives from all the wire factories in the country -were here to make a bid on wire which the factory here wished to purchase. The sale was made that afternoon and over $100,000 worth of wire was purchased. The company will manufacture this into barbed wire.

Vandalism.
The jollification Saturday night while participated in by many respectable and worthy people, partook to a large extent of the nature of a riot. Especially was this true after nine o'clock when most respectable people had left the streets. Scores of drunken brutes realed cursing through the thoroughfares terrifying all with whom they came in contact. Fights occurred on every corner and bedlam ran riot generally. A drunken beast deliberately picked up a stone and hurled it crashing through one of the $50 plate glass windows in the First National Bank. It was a high old time and everybody should be thankful that such eventB are only quadrennial.

Grinley a Goner.
Wo all remember Professor Grinley. Professor Grinley the suave but seedy aeronautt who has so often blessed Crawfordsville with his dusty star spangled tights and big balloon". The following from the Rockville 1-ieptibticun is consequently of interest to his countless admirers here:
Tom Grinley. the balloonist, is up, but not in a balloon. He was arrested Monday on a charge of stealing corn, preferred by Andrew Boardman and jailed under a bond of 8200 to await the action of circuit court. Grinley acknowledged the theft, but denied the amount. For some time Boardman had been missing corn, and suspecting Grinley he went to the aeronaut's home where he discovered his corn in a barrel. Grinley returned the grain and made the excuse that he was intoxicated when he took it. This once was not the only time Boardman thinks Grinlev visited his crib. Not long since, he Btates,
Grinley inquired of him whether
he had any corn on hands in his barn in town, to which he replied he had not, and shortly afterward surprised Grinley in his corn field west of town. Andy naturally thought that he is under no obligations to support Grinley's horse, and sifter deliberating some time determined to prosecute. On being placed in jail Grinley became greatly enraged and gave apeiform ance to an audience composed of his they did not at

Heretofore Grinley had been regarded as an ^energetic, honest young fellow. He was married recently and seemed to be getting along nicely and his very bad break is to be much reprretted.

A Country Wedding,
Quite a number of persons from this city attended the marriage of Albert Ames and Miss Minta Goben on Nov. 10 at the residence of the bride's father Jesse W. Goben, several miles north of the city. Nearly 100 guests were present and the affair was quite a brilliant one. The ceremony was performed at 8 o'clock by Rev. John L. Miller. The bride and groom were attended by J. D. Moore and George Goben and Misses Brant and Detrich, of Indianapolis. The ceremony took place under united hearts of chrysanthemums. The bride, a very pretty young lady, was attired in a cream colored silken traine and carried a large bouquet of roses. After the ceremony an elegant collation was served. The young couple begin life under the most auspicious circumstances attended by the best wishes of a large circle of friends.

"Walter flulett can have whatever he wants," remarked a prominent Democrat to-day. "Mr. Brookshire recognizes his obligations to Mr. Hulett and will not be backward in reciprocating. Mr. Hulett can have the postoffice if he wants it or he can be internal revenue collector at Terre Haute. Revenue Collector Hulet sounds well and it will fcH oe a fact I think."

A "Very Pleasant Reception Tendered bi Tucker and Family. The congregation of the Methodist church gave a very pleasant reception Monday night in the church parlors in honor of (ho new pastor, Dr. 11. A. Tucker and his family. The hours of receiving were froin's o'clock until 10 and uuriDg this time several hundred persons called ana were cordially received. The reception committee "con sisted of MesdatnesB. L. Ornbaun, Zack Mahorney and Cicero McClure and the guests upon entering were presented to Dr. Jones or Mrs. C. M. Travis, who introduced them to Dr. and Mrs. Tucker. The Music Hail orchestra was present and furnished some very delightful music while Misses Anna Willson, Hattie Ashley and Nello Coutant served delicious punch to the guests. The parlors were very tastefully decorated with chrysanthemums and vines and presented a very agreeable effect. The reception was a pronounced success and formally introduced Dr. and Mrs. Tucker to their numerous friends to whom they have already endeared themselves. They came to Crawfordsville welcomed by all and it is not to be doubted but that the pleasant relations now existing between all the churches and denominations in Crawfordsville 11 continue during their residence hero.
A Phenomenal Record. &
»The drama brings out in its full strength the fervent Christianity of "Uncle Tom's Cabin." The book itself had a distinctively religious influence. A Bible was presented the author as a testimonial by an association of workingmen in England, on the occasion of a lecture delivered on "Uncle Tom as an Illustration of Christianity." The work found sympathetic readers among all classes and creeds. All protestant Europe read it and it was placed in the index of tho Roman Catholic church.
In France the enthusiasm for the work created a demand for the Bible of Undo Tom and actually increased the sale of the scriptures.
Heinrich Heine, speaking of his return to religion, says: "With all my science I have come no further than the poor ignorant negro who had scarce learned to spell. Poor Tom indeed seetns to have seen deoper things in the Bible than I. The reawakening of my religious feeling I owe to that holy book."
Mrs. Lenowens, formerly English governess in the family of the King of Siam, tells of a lady high in rank who after reading tho translation of Uncle Tom's Cabin, ever afterward signed herself Harriet Beecher Stowe in order to express her entire sympathy with the author.
,4And
her sweet voice always
trembled with love and music when piie spoke of the lovely American lady who had taught her, even as Buddha taught kings to respect the rights of her fellow creatures."
Ed F. Davis' colossal spectacular Uncle Tom's Cabin Co. will appear at Music Hall Nov. 22.
How He Went In.
The Indianapolis Sua pays the following concerning A. W. Wishard, who graduated from Wabash College in '70:
It is now assured that Attorney Wishard is elected on the Republican ticket for joint senator, he being the only candiaate on the legislative or county tickets to pull through. His connection with the recent street car troubles, in which he espoused the cause of the men, had much to do with the result, and there is no doubt that the laboring element is responsible for his success. Arrayed against Wishard was John P. Frenzel and all those influences which ho could control, but members of tho street car brotherhood wore heard to declare previous to the electron that Wishard would have their unqualified^ support. It is now said that Mr. Wislmrd freely asserted during his canvass that, if elected, he would introduce a bill into the coming legislature requiring the street car companies of this and other Indiana cities to sell six tickets for 25 cents on all lines. Should this be attempted, there is no doubt that Mr. Frenzel will fight him to a standstill and bring every energy into play, through lobbying, to defeat his purpose.
Denounced,
Rev. R. S. Inglis occupied the pulpit of the First Presbyterian church Sunday morning and in consideration of the approaching Beason of prayer for young men, preached a Bermon bear ng along that line. During the course of his remarks Mr. Inglis took occasion to prod the polico in regard to the violation of the liquor laws. He stated that on election day he had taken advantage of the opportunity afforded to watch a few back doors of saloonB and saw that business was quite lively. He saw perfect streams floating up the alley toward the rear of the Clipper and approached the Marshal asking him why it was not Btopped. The Marshal replied that he had endeavored to find some one violating the law but had failed. Mr. Inglis offered to point out such violations but the Marshal was too busy with other matters to go with him. Mr. Inglis made Borne plain statements as to what he thought of these things and his remarks created quite a little sensation.
WATER GAS.
The Waiter & Light Company Will Go Against The People's Natural Gae Company.
Superintendent, Horner, of the Craw fordsville Water A- Light Co., says: "We are here to stay. Yes sir, we are going to crimp right here and meet the enemy as the Lord's annointed should. Wo are now preparing to put in a water gas plant and exclaim with Monte Cristo. 'The world is ours!' The company has determined that something good for the town should be done. You Bee the old coal gas plant is partly worn out, that is the service mains are rotten and leaking everywhere. We have placed now cast iron pipes along all the streets and will goto sinking them at once. Tho water gas plant will be put in where tho coal gas plant is now. It will be prepared and then some fine morning about the first of January we will turn off coal gas forever, and substitute water gas. The company is getting the machinery ready now and the only means the town will over have of knowing that a change has been made will be by the superior light which water gas will afford them. The plant will be a very perfect and a very costly one and the company, by putting it in, demonstrates that it' is not only here to stay but is hero to meet and vanquish all rivals. "Water gas will not only be sold to the citizens for light but for fuel. It is the greatest fuel in the world and is superior *o natural gas even. The price charged for the gas furnished for fuel will be much less than that charged for lighting as mixers will bo used. Separate meters will be used and the two systems maintained distinct from each each other. Wo will use meters ex clusively so poople will have to pay for what they use ar.d no more. Yes sir, we are here to stay and before the first of January Crawfordsville can boat an} town in the State on heat and light."
THE FIRST FRUITS,
The Canning Factory Knocked in the Head by tho Result of the Election. Last week it will be remembered several members of the Fairmount Canning Company visited Crawfordsville with a view to establishing a canning factory here that would employ about -100 hands during a great part of tho year. Tho gentlemen asked no subsiby, had littlo to say on any subject and nothing at all abeat politics. It seems that they were interested in politics just the same, however, and the following letter received by a member of the Land and Improvement Company is self explanatory:
Faihmount, Ind., Nov. 10, 1802. Dear Sik:—Your lotter received today and will say in reply that tho unexpected result of the Into election has materially changed tho proposed established of branch factories by our company and while your locality was looked upon very favorably as a desirable point to locate, will say that our company will take no definite action at present at least. As the success of our business depends very largely on tho -protection of tho tin plate industries and as tho El wood, Anderson and Gas City plants have publicly announced that they will discontinue the manufacture of tin, it, ofk.cj to ... but little encouragement. So littlo that for the present wo will abandon further investments in the canning business, or at least until greater confidence has been established in the coming administration relative to our branch of business.

The Lotus Club Decides to Do Nothing By Halves. The members of the Lotus Club held an enthusiastic meeting last week and discussed the question of quarters. There are now 75 members belonging to the organization and it success is more than assured. It has been definately decided that it would be better to build a house suited to the club's needs than to purchase and relit an old residence. Accord:ngly the board of trustees was instructed to go ahead and make arrangements for the erection of a suitable home for the Club. The organization expectB to expend $10,000 in the purchase of a
Bite and
erection of a house. There are now a number of suitable places under discussion but tho trustees will go slow and get tho best possible site at tie lowest possible price. Of course the house will be built as nearly "down town" as possible. If erected within the fire limits it will be necessary to be of brick. There is some talk now of selling stock but a great many favor the building and loan plan and that will probably be adopted.
A Brutal Assault.
John Zachery is a Republican farmer aged nearly 60 years. On Saturday he came to town with his family on business and hitched his team at Manson's corner. Shortly after dark just as he was starting to go home he was set upon by Jule Bailey and a young ruffian named Harris and fearfully beaten. He was knocked down by his assailants who brutally kicked him in the face and stomach. Dr. Jones
dreBsed
his wounds
and the police landed the drunken hoodlums who assailed him in jail. Mr. Zuchery had given no possible offense other than taking no part in the demonstration. '. r" '",'

TEL BOTANY BAY TRIaL.
It Ends With the Jury Disagreeing and the Continuance of the Trial. The much looked for trial of teacher McAlister. charged with cruelly whipping Walter, the 13-year-old* son of Joseph Hritton, took [dace on Satirrday at 7 o'clock before Mavor Bandel. Every scholar in the city who could make some excuse was on hand to hear the trial, as were several parents who had young Americans in the schools of this city. A jury good and true was soon secured and the first part began. Joshua McKinsey and II. ,T. Coleman occupied tho ends while "Squire MeComas took charge as tho middle man. By the time the opening chorus was sung standing room was at a j^rwninm anil the doors were closed. M. W. Bruner appeared for tho defense while Prosecutor Moffett modestly looked after the interests of tho opposite side. alter Britton, tho boy who received the drubbing from tho teacher, was placed on the stand and proceeded to tell what a little Iamb ho had always been and how ho had suffered from the hand blows McAlister had struck him with his pile driver fists. Walter did not think it right that he should get his back warmed for doing nothing but finally admitted that he deserved all he got from the teacher, saying he had violated the rules of the school every day and had worried the teacher a great deal. Joseph Britton, father of the boy, testified that he had examined his son's head after the trouble and found several bumps as large as an egg on it. Ho immediately sought the teacher and made him promise not to inflict such punishment again.
Buck Brothers was next placed ou tho stand and received a good roasting from the "gang" because he had missed his lessons and voted for Harrison. He stated the boy had come up to him on the street crying, saying the teacher had whipped him and he wanted him arrested. He examined tho boy's nead and found several lumps on it.
Young Thomas Chumasero, a lad of much promise, was next called and politely informed the court that Britton had sufiered a hard whipping from the teacher that he did not deserve, but that Britton drew a knife and was preparing to carve up the teacher when he got the knock out blow also stated that the teacher had choked Tommy till he was black in the face on ono occasion merely because he was trying to run the school, 1 ommy was oxcusod and Loe Myers called. Tho boys evidently had their tale of woe committed to memory for they told about the same storv. Myers had heard Britton say, however, if the teacher tried to whip him again he was going to cut something in two. Johnnie Duncan, an auburn-haired lad, who will never be wlutor when he's a corpse, was the next on the stand and in a trembling voice told the same as the others. Charlie Myers, a boy who by his looks, is largo enough to be making Si.50 a day on some farm, instead of being mixed up with 13-year-old children, was called and gave the fiiwne reated story. Myers flatters himself, however, with giving tho teacher two black eyes on another occasion.
John Speed, the boy who knocked a freight train off the Big Four track a few months ago, faced the jury for the defense, and stated that Britton had made trouble in the school all day had called the teacher names, such as "rubber neck," and when the teacher corrected him, returned the compliment by asking him "if lie ever got hooks." He also saw Britton draw his knife wnen tho teacher started to whip him.
McAlister took the stand and stated he had tried to got the boys to do right and used every kind effort, but to no avail, and when he started to administer punishment to tho Britton boy he drew a knifo saying, "I'll cut your out," and he was compelled to use force to dofend himself. Prof. Wellington stated tho boy had been almost a terror in Bchool for the past two years, and although he forbids rough treatment to scholars, thought Mr. McAlister was not to blame, and had only defended himself from young Britton's knife.
The jury was then charged and retired. They were like tho jury in the "National Flower," unable to agree, however, and were discharged this afternoon. Thoy stood nine for acquittal and three for conviction.
