Judge Harney has decided to remove William White,' the court reporter, on political grounds, Mr. White being a .Republican. He will b* succeeded bv Miss Matie Keeney.

Mrs. Rebecca Herron was 90 years old on Sunday and in honor of the event entertained all her children and their families Nov. 1!) at their home on south Washington street. A magnificent dinner had been prepared and all had a thoroughly good ime. Mrs. Herron was born in Butler county, Ohio, and came to Crawfordsville in 1S28, being one of the very first settlers. She is still in good' health and bids fair to complete her century.

The colt was two years old .and waB the eon of Pochohontas Satn. The colt won the yearling steaks at the spring races at Bainbridge and was also in the Covington races. It was a very promising one and it paced a mile in 2.4o the second time it was hitched to a sulky. There was no insurance and it is a heavy loss, being valued at S'2,000.

The above may be good news to some of the ladies the good old man courted here making his proposals in the following figurative language: "Would I not be a gallant bean pole on which to hang your morning glory

In Defense of Hoosierdom.

An ex-resident of this cit/ has a clever article in one of the Chicago papers in which the following defense of Hoosierdom appears: ,,

A a native-born Uoosier who has been adopted by the Sticlior hi.ate, I beg lo say a few words in defense ot' Indiana against the many shafts of ridicule that are constantly being aimed at it by the small-bore wits of the press. For many years Indiana has been considered legitimate prey by all newspaper writers who aspire to be witty. Jokes about the Hoosiers and Hoosierdom are almost coeval with those about the mother-in-law in antiquity. Time was, perhaps, when these jokes were relevant but in my opinion they lost both point and ilavor long ago. Indiana has kept pace with her sister States in material, mental and moral progress, and it is high time for these wittlings of the press to seek other fields for the display of their small wares. When Illinois, for instance, has produced three literary characters that will compare favorably in merit and popularity with General Lew Wallace, James Maurice Thompson, and James Whit comb Riley, and not until then, will she have a right to cast literary stones at her Hoosier neighbor.

Wedding Bells.

Promptly at 7 o'clock the groom with Miss Campbell and tho bride with Mr. O. I". Perrin descended from the bridal chambers to tho reception parlors while the music of Mendelssohn's wedding march was rendered by Miss Fraley, of Linden. The ceremony was short and impressive, Rev. Sherrill, of Danville, 111., officiating. After congratulations a dainty and bounteous supper was served by Mosdames Tomlinson, Fraley and White, everyone morrv with the hospitality of the hostess. Among those present besides the immediate relatives wore Misses Emily Campbell, Alice and Bertha Perrin, of Stone Bluff, C. C. Perrin, of Veedersliurg, Mr. and Mrs. Birden, of Mulberry, and O. U. Perrin, of Crawfordsville. The bride wore a French steel satin evening gown, trimmed in chiffon lace, and the groom wore full evening dress. The couple were the recipients of many handsome presents and after a time will 1)6 at home to their friends at Stone Bluff.

Tom Boraker Retained.

The county commissioners proceeded to elect custodians for the court house last week and in one regard at least did thing up brown. .Tames Snarp, engineer of the coffin factory, was elected to succeed Thomas Francis as engineer of the court house. Harmon Wilson appeared as a candidate for the janitorship, desiring to succeed Tom Boraker the present incumbent. Mr. Boraker is a Republican and this was judged snfiicent cause for removal. When the vote was counted, however, it was found to stand Boraker 2, Wilson 1 Mr. Boraker was declared elected, to the satis faction of all the county officials. He is a splendid janitor and one of the Democratic members, presumably Mr.

Fullen, was satisfied to let goud enough alone. Mr. Boraker will go right on giving the eminent satisfaction he always given in the past.

The Laynes of Ladoga.

The Laynes of Ladoga are a pretty shady lot. For twelve long years a riot has been going on in the family of old Sam Lay no and now it is in Judge Cliumasero's court. Sam was a widower with a hopeful son named .Toe and married the widow Carmen who was also blessed with male issue who have always lived up to their name. A continual riot has been going on in the Layne household for so long that the good people of Ladoga have become so accustomed to it that they take all visitors to the town around past the Layne place to see the battle which is sure to be going on. Joe Layne was arrested Nov.18 for calling his step-mother rude names aud threatening to chop her liend off, while old Sammy was pulled at the instigation of young Mr. Carmen who professes to stand in deadly fear of him.

Order of the Eastern Star.

On Nov. 17 the Order of the Eastern Star held a special meeting for the purpose of exemplifying its work in the presence of the Grand Matron, Mrs. Hollinzer, of Terre Haute. Degrees were conferred on Mr. and Mrs. Charles Gould, Miss Ora Moffett and Dr. M. C-. Drake, of Ladoga. There was |uite a delegation present from Ladoga and at the conclusion of the work Mrs. Hollinzer delivered quite an -nteresting address congratulating the Chapter upon its prosperity and the efficiency of its work. The entire body then adjourned to the Bobbins House where an elegant supper was served. There were seven-ty-five persons sat down to the tables and all enjoyed the occasion hugely. A number of short addresses were made and the time caused to pass most pleasantly away.

Sk Wedding at New Market On Nov. 17 at New Market occurred the marriage of Loren Britton and Miss Hattie Anderson, two of the popular young people of this county. The ceremony was performed by Dr. J. W. Greene, and tnok place in the Methodist •hurch at New Market before a large audience of friends. The attendants were Mr. Childers, of New Market, and Miss Belle Harlan, of this city. The bride, a pretty young lady, was dressed in a gown of white silk. After the ceremony a reception and wedding

per were tendered them at the home of the groom's father. The young couple will make their future home in New Market, where the groom is in business, and the best wishes of all attend them. Miss Anderson was formely a resident of this city, having been raised by A. J. Royalty.

At the Y. M, 0. A. Convention. President Coulter was escorted to the platform, President Gregg gracefully retiring. President Coulter's inaugural address was a strong and forceful address deeply impressing his auditors who gave his words the closest attention. President Coulter is an old Logansport boy and his first school work was done as a teacher in the old Logansport academy about 1875, when he was just fresh from College. Since then he has risen to highest rank as an Indiana educator, at present occupying the prominent position of President of the State University at Bloomington. Previous to that he held one of the most important chairs in Wabash Collene.

CRAWFORDSVILLE INDIANA SATURDAY, NOVEMBER i«»2 NUMT5ER 50

A VAN1MLIA AGENT. I

Wnat a Woman Can Accomplish if She Has I Ability, Tact aud Pluck, The Vandalia officials recently had application from Miss Minnie C. Bush, agent for the company at, the little town of Lakeville, ten miles this side of South liend, on the Logansport division, for an "Old Homo" excursion to Ohio points. The company was r.ot disponed to give it, but the plucky little agent persisted her application, saying there were many persons at and near Lakeville who formerly lived in Ohio who wished to visit their old homes. The company after much persuasion on her part finally gave its consent and tho excursion rate was announced. Imagine the surprise at headquarters when Miss Bush reported the sale of 3f9 tickets. Her excursion train was turned over to the Ft. Wayne road at Plymouth. That young lady will be a general passenger agent sotre day at the present rate. It is amusing and very odd to see Miss Bush out among tho tracks at train time, telling the train crews what work has to be done, where she wishes cars placed for loading, and other work that has to bo done at a station. It makes no difference how late a train may be when it reaches her station or how much work there may be to do, she is a favorite with every trainman, and the work is always cheerfully done at once. A few weeks ago Miss Bush had issued invitations for a large party, the occasion being her 18th birthday. As usual on that day the 5 o'clock freight was two hours late. Tho station was deserted by all but herself, and she had no way to send word to notify the folks at home that the train was late. The guests were to arrive at 8 o'clock and the suspense that she would be too late was terrifying. At seven tho long wished for train arrived and she was congratulating herself that she would yet have plenty of time, when she was notified there were thirty barrels of sugar to be unloaded at that point. The train pulled out, the sugar was on the platform. A slow drizzling rain began falling which would soon ruin the sugar if left out, and in one hour she was to be the hostess at home. She did not sit down and cry in despair, however, as would most girls under such trying circumstances, but rolled every barrel in the freight house by herscif and was home in time to receive the lirst guest with her always happy smile, as if nothing had ever happened.

COMET Or UNIVERSAL INTEREST.

It is Supposed to be Biela's and May Pass "Very Near the Earth. Sunday night, November 27, promises to be illuminated with meteors in great number. They are the so called November meteors, coming from the constellation Leo, a beautiful group of 6tars, of which six are disposed in the shape of a sicklo. It i& from the region that the bend of the sickle half incloses that the meteors seem to issue. Once iu 33 years they pour forth from this space in amazing number, their tracks raidiating like the ribs of an umbrella and resembling a fiery spray shot forth from Bomo celestial fountain. The last shower occurred in 18GG. Accompanying these annual visitors will be' a stranger. Last evening a dispatch was received at Dudley Observatory by Prof.

Boss from 1'iof. Berberieh, of Berlin, stating that the new comet discovered by Holmes in the constellation Andromeda may be the long-lost Beila's comet. This comet was originally discovered in 1772 by Montaigna. Its periodicy was established by Beila in 1826. Its successive appearances were watched with great interest, but its position in proximity to the sun prevented its observation on several of its returns. As time goes on the meteors are stretchod over a larger line, and if Prof. Berberieh should prove to be correct in his surmise that the Holmes comet may be none other than Beila's comet, or a fragment of it, there is a good chance that we may be treated to a nearer view of it this year because thin comet is moving along the track of

comet. It is a fact that

the earth has collided with several small fragmeuts of comets, represented by meteoric showers, and while they have"done no harm, to collide with a body so large as this known to be might be a Berious matter.

ere of the New Ross Fair Association met Saturday afternoon and decided to discontinue the holding of fairs as they had not been a financial success for several years. The association is far from giving up altogether, however, as the members expect to keep up the racing feature. All their energies will be turned in that direction and we may expect some record breaking done in Walnut township. There will be another meeting next Saturday to set the time for the spring races and to elect officers.

§§gl|f| Death of Mrs. John White. Mrs. John White, one of the well known and most highly respected citizens of Alamo, died on Nov. 17 rather suddenly. Her son Will, who is a Senior in Wabash, did not even know she was seriously ill until notified that morning of her death. She was an aunt of Will

In the evening Dr. Putnam held a reception for Dr.

Burroughs and a great many alumnus of Wabash and Princeton were there, among them being Gus Landis, E. J. Dukes, McCabe and others.

Jim Elmore Again,

We all know Jim Elmore, the scholar, the poet, and tho Democratic politician of Ripley township The mellow dreaminess of his fond brown eye is known to us all. The only bad thing about Jim is his all around enssedness. He has quarreled with his own family and iB estranged from liiR brother. Now to cap the climax good old 'Squiro Fruitts, whose name is a synonym for truth and probity, comes before the Mnyor of Crawfordsville and swears out a warrant for Jim's arrest, the charge being provoke.

A Corrected Card.

A gentleman of this city has this answer: Replying to your favor of the 18th inBt., desiring to know whether the Independent Order of Foresters, of Toronto, Canada, was authorized to do business in Indiana, will say that they were refused admission of the grounds that they are doing an endowment busi ness, which is contrary to the law regulating assessment companies. 4'

Henderson, »4l

Auditor of State.

He of

Refuses to Listen to the Advice Fiiends and Files a Suit,. The contest suit, of Sheriff John Bible against Sheriff-elect Charles 1'avis has been filed. The complaint is type-written and elaborate, and at the end is the signature in tho fine Italian hand of the Lord High executioner of Montgomery county. The complaint is a jewel of its kind. It is calculated to delight, tho aesthetic eye, quench tho logical thirst, appease tho technical appetite, and gratify the yearning aspirations of the immortal mind.

I'.

The instrument, draws down its shaggy eve-brows, and without coughing a preliminary cough or cleaning its logically legal throat, says in tolerably fair English that at the election held November 8, Noah Flannigan, Charles E. Davis, the contestee, and John P. Bible, tho contestor. were candidates for the office of sheriff. That tho board of review decided that Flannigan had received P22 votes, Davis 3.81'.) votes and

contestor objected and states his objections about as follows: 1st. Illegal votes were cast in each of tin* -12 precincts of Montgomery county. 2nd. Illegal votes were counted for Davis in each of the -12 precincts in Montgomery county. 3rd. Leg'il votes cast for the contestor at, said precincts were thrown out, which would have oloctod him had they been count,ed. 4th. Tho election boards at said precincts refused to allow legal electors to vote who intended fully to vote for contestor. 5th. The election boards in each of the 42 precincts allowed persons—not legal voters—to cast their votes for Davis, which votes were counted for him. 6. The board of review counted for the .: eontesteo votes, which had not been cast, counted or certified to, as having been cast and counted.

The contestor asks that ho be declared elected and that the defendant be made to shoulder the costs of the case.

Tho Auditor set down tho caso for a hearing before the Board of Commissioners on December 8. In tho meantime the defense will preparo and file counter chargeB and an answer.

The complaint of Mr. Bible is lamentably weak and it is not to bo wondered at that his friends protested against his making a contest. Tho instrument begins with a falsehood in declaring the vote counted gives Davis a plurality of one. It is known by all that the board of review gave him a clear plurality of six.

Mr. Bible is not specific in his charges but sweepingly accuses every one of the 42 election boards in Montgomery county of conspiring to defeat and defraud him. As nearly all of these boards were Deinoratic his charge is rather fishy to say the least. Lie caps the climax, however, when he accuses the Democratic board of review of fraudulently counting votes for his opponent, which were never oven cast for him. Mr. Bible's complaint does not even look well on paper and it is a matter of surprise that a man of his years and supposed judgment should even have brought such a thing into public notice. To be sure he is naturally mortified at the result but common sense should have led him to a different course. He has not oniv made himself a laughing stock but has angered many of his frionds by his charges preferred against the Democratic election boards and the board of review. Doubtless, though, through his inscrutablo wisdom Mr. Bible knows how each man who entered a booth that day voted and is fully satisfied that he received a plurality, yea, a good round majority of the votes cast.

Reading the complaint, no other inference can be drawn. It is hard to see,i however, how ho will persuade the judges that ho knows all these things.

18.—Tuesday niglifc

tho Democracy in this end of tho county met here to celebrate the result of the recent election. Whisky was freely imbibed by several of our sports, and as usual a light \wis thought, just the thing. Charles Taylor, of New Ross, was over and as soon as the boys found him they wanted to mutilate him. Charley was tanning them as fast as they came to him until the Davis gang came up. He fairly powdered James, when the old man piled on and held Taylor while Jake struck'him three blows jr the head with a 2x4 Bcnntling. Charley looked like a bloody butcher and blood was gushing from hie head in torrents. He was picked up unconscious and taken to the home of Charley Sparks, just south of here, and medical aid summoned, but of no avail. Ho is still unconscious and is now in a critical condition^
