The Man with a Month.

I love the man who knows it all. From east to west, from north to sonth Who knows all things, both great and small,

And tells it with his tireless mouth Who holds a listening world In awe Tho while he works his iron jaw

Ofttimes in evening's holy calm,

1

When twilight softens sight and sound And zophyr breathes a perfect psalm. This fellow brings his mouth around With its long gallop that can tire The eight day clock's impatient ire.

His good, strong mouthl Ho wields it well! He works it just for all it's worth. Not Samson's jawbone famed could tell

Such mighty deeds upon tho earth. He pulls the throttle open wide And works her hard on every side.

Good Lord, from evils fierce and dire Save us each day—from fear and woe, From wreck and flood, from storm and fire.

From sudden death, from secret foe. From blighting rain and burning drouth— And from tho man who plays his mouth. —Robert J. Burdette.

Sanders-Hutton.

Geo. W. Hntton and Miss May Sanders were married at the Methodist parsonage Dec. 28. There was a pleasant company witnessed the ceremony, after which the happy couple repaired "to their home in New Richmond.

Horse Company Meeting.

The different horse companies of Montgomery county will hold a county meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 10, 1893, at the small court room in Crawfordsville at 10 o'clock a. m., for the purpose of effecting a county organization.

His Initial Appearance.

Rev. W. G. Howe began his service as pastor of the Christian church of this city Sunday and deliverel two powerful sermons. In the morning he treated of the duty of church members and made an excellent impression. That Mr. Howe will prove a great blessing to the church goes without saying.

Married.

Thursday, Dec. 29, Eugene Fry and Miss Addio Dodd were quietly married by Elder Vancloave. The matter was kept very quiet, the license having been obtained at Frankfort. Mr. and Mrs.Fry left next night for their future home in Coldwater, Mich., where Mr. Fry holds a splendid position as professor of biology in the high school.

Oliampion Oorn Shuckers.

If nobody else can show up better the championship for corn shucking should be awarded to Brily and Ally Douglas. On their farm, four miles southeast of Linden, recently tliey shucked and cribbed 234 bushels. They also hauled the corn in from the fields and were delayed half an hour by a broken wagon. They worked from dayjight to dark and stopped an hour for dinner.

Wolsiffer Fred T. The Uouncil Meeting,

Saturday night the council held a special meeting for the transaction of important business. It was reported that there was no money in the treasury so it was voted to borrow 83,000 to bridge over the emergency. The light plant was discussed and one of the members stated that a howl was being made against the free wiring of houses and business rooms. It is a practice conducted nowhere else and it is claimed is perfectly ruinous. After some discussion it was decided to do no more wiring until next spring anyhow, and to observe in the interim how the plant paid.

Family Reunion.

Sunday,Dec.25,there was a large reunion of the heirs of John Widener at the old home near Elmdale, now occupied by George W. Widener. A large and most satiefactory dinner was disposed of after which the entire company went to the church near by to hear Rev. M. H. Appleby. Those present were George W. Widener and family, M. H. Appleby, Miss Appleby, J. T. Utterback and family, W. 11. Symmes and family, J. H. Widener and family, Misses Sarf.h and Mahala Widener, Mel Peed and family, S. B. Bratton and family, altogether about forty persons. It was an occation long to be remembered. .. .. 'S

Dave Wants a Trough,

D. A. Roach, of Crawfordsville, is in the city trying to persuade the court that he is altogether the proper man to choose for libiarian of the Supreme Court library. There are 11 aspirants for this place. That means that each judge is consulted by 11 men and that those august officials, therefore, have no time for legal work or anything else, except patient listening to wonld-be librarians.—Indianapolis Sur

The position Dave wants is now held by W. W. Thornton, formerly of this city. Mr. Thornton has made the best librarian the State ever had,for the office requires a well-read and quick witted attorney. The salary is SI,500 a year. Mr. Roach probably stands about as muoh chance of getting the place as Malachi Bill Scott doeB.

Vengence is Sometimes Terrible. I know that—so far—the trial and conviction of Rev. Fred. Pettit, for poiBoning his wife, has cost the tax-pavers of Tippecanoe county at least $15,000. But the end is not yet. Last week the attorneys for the State—Messrs. Haywood and Anderson went before Judge Harney, of Montgomery county circuit court, in Crawfordsville, and asked him to grant them a goodly allowance for preparing the State's brief, to be presented in the Supreme Court!

I am informed that Judge Harney took the matter under advisement. Section 5659 of the revised statutes of Indiana expressly provides, viz: "The Attorney-General shall prosecute and defend all criminal or State prosecutions that are now or hereafter may be pending in the Supreme Court of Indiana." In 24th Indiana, in the case or Stewart vs. State, page 124, the Supreme Court declared that the Attorney-General has "exclusive control of criminal prosecutions in the Supreme Court."

When the Pettit case went to the Supreme Court—on appeal—the State's prosecuting attorneys were done with it, the Attorney-General taking it in charge, as required by law. By what right, then, are the tax-payers of Tippecanoe county to be further taxed in this seemingly unending Pettit "milking" affair? I confess it seems the people are sometimes helpless against courts, and you and I know the vengeance of a patient people is sombtimes terrible! LaFayetle Sunday Times.

But for that saving word "sometimes" one would be led to believe that "the tax-payers of Tippecanoe" were preparing to take up arms and march against the capital of old Montgomery.

Mr. Hickman's School In Luck, Rev W. H. Hickman, late of this city and now President of Clark University, at Atlanta, was rejoiced Monday by hearing the following news from Batavia, 111.: "By the death of Mrs. June C. Gammon the Methodist Seminary at Atlanta, Ga., becomes the potsessor of nearly §750,000. Tho seminary, it might be said, belougs in the Gammon family, and it was Elijah II. Gammon's cherished hope of the past few years before his death that it be made a monument to hie memory. Th& institution was established by the Methodists in Atlanta in 188G as the theological department of the Clark University. Mr. Gammon took a deep interest in the seminary and its success. He made" a donation in 1888 of §100,000, which was used in the erection of a new building and in the payment of teachers' salaries. Mr. Gammon had a very large estate, worth, it is said, over §1,500,000. In July, 1891, Mr. Gammon died. He made an endowment of §250,000 to the institution at the time, making in all §350,000 that went to the seminary. By the conditions of his will the institution was further provided for. His wife had the use of the estate during her life, and at her death one-half of the pr perty went to the heirs and the other half to the seminary. Mr. Gammon did not name the heirs in his will, but left that and the undivided amounts that each should receive to his wife in making her will. MrB. Gammon neglected making a will, and now one-half of the estate will be equally divided between four legal heirs, three of whom live at Batavia and the other at Evanston. As the estate is worth nearly §1,500,000, the seminary will be endowed with over §750,000.

Robert Ooyle's Beautiful feet. The ancient boots of the Rev. Dr. Coyle of the First Presbyterin church of Oakland were for a long time an eyesore to his congregation. Preach he never so eloquently the thoughts of many were kept from the skies and upon those shocking boots. Finally the church edifice was renovated. Heavy new carpets were placed upon the floor of the auditorium and on the pulpit platform. This emboldened one of the lambs of the flock to write to the pastor, admonishing him that the new carpets really seemed to call for new number niDes.

The next Sunday morning the Rev. Dr. Coyle appeared with his feet arrayed in flashing patent leathers. Either bv accident or design the choir opened the services with the anthem, "How beautiful are the feet of those who serve the Lord."—San Francisco Examiner.

A BLESSING IN DISGUISE.

The Burnmp- of the Central School Buildin? Proves to Have Been a Good Thing. This time last year everyone was howling about the Central school building. It was unuafe, it was poorly ventilated, it was miserably lighted, the stair steps were death on the children in fact, it was a pretty tough sort of a hole all around if general talk was to be believed. All is changed for the better now and the city is not the loser either. The big fire which gutted the large structure appeared at the time in the nature of a calamity, but to-day it appears BB a demonstration of the fact that God moves in a mysterious way his wonders to perform, or words to that effect.

By the wisdom, foresight and indefatigable industry of the board of trustees, Supt. Wellington and other interested partieB the structure has beea rebuilt. Comparisons between the Central building of a year ago and the Central building of to-day would be rankly odious. When the building was thown open to a reception of the general public several hundred persons meandered up the walks expecting confidently to enter a building patched up and painted to hide the ravages of fire. They expected to see a few new boards in the floor, considerable fresh paint, perhapB, and new window lights all around. They were agreeably disappointed for they entered a really new building. Old things had been done away with and all things made new. A representative of TIIE JOUUNAL called during the afternoon and was shown through the building by Dr. Cowan. The appointments of the new Central building are something to be marveled at when all things are considered and it is safe to say that there is not a better equipped building in the State. Every room is elegantly fitted out with new furniture and appliances. Above the first story floors everything are new and nearly everything on the first story is new. Every ceiling in the building ic of the best quality of compressed steel, beautifully moulded and presenting handsome and striking designs. The colors are different in the different rooms but all are delicate shades calculated to increase the light. Ventilation has been studied and provided for in a scientific manner and the hygienic condition of the building will be perfect Ventilation will be regulated by registers pasting up to the dome and carrying off all foul air. This will do away with the old system of hoisting windows to let in a rush of cold air periodically during the day. The old system was a bonanza for the sad-eved undertaker but really, the present system will meet with more general approval. The stairways have been revolutionized and the steps lowered from 9 to (5 inches. It took a little more wood perhaps but it will be much easier on the children. Nearly every stairway is broken by along landing giving an easy rest during the mount or descent. Every teacher has an elegant new desk of the latest and most improved pattern. The platforms upon which the teachers used to perch like grim visaged monsters of vengeance have been torn out and the teacher is now on a level with the pupil, literally speaking. In the third story is the high school department which is a model in all respects. In the north wing iB the general assembly room where all the excrciBes will be held and where the pupils will each have a private desk to occupy when not reciting. The east wing and the west wing are fitted up as chemical and physiological laboratories and are magnificently equipped with the latest and most desirable apparatus. In the south wing are two large and well arranged recitation rooniB for the high schools, also each instructor is thus enabled to hear his classes privately and the recitation of one section will not interfere with the study of another. The building throughout is a gem and when school opens there Monday it will be under more auspices circumstances than ever before. Everything is perfect and t.he city is not taxed for it. The insurance money on the old building by judicious manipulation paid for the remodeling and the board has enough money left to buy a brand new gad for every teacher and half a dozen for the warden of Botany Bay.

Do You Need Help.

Tho ladies of tho First Baptist church meet eveiy Tuesday afternoon in the new building for a sewing circle. They desire with their needles to earn a fund in aid of the building and are prepared promptly and cheaply to fill all orders for comforts, quilts, aprons, childrens' garments or any plain sowing. Will take anything excepting nice dresses. They have a sewing machine and two experienced cutters. Ladies needing help in this line will aid the new church by sending their work to the church on Tuesday afternoons or at any time to the residence of Mrs. Nannie Duncan, 411 Walnut Btreet or Mrs. M. D. Britts, 303 Elston avenue.

A Pleasant Surprise.

The young ladies of J. A. Mount'B Sunday Bchool class gave his a pleasant surprise last mghi,. Mr. Mount was at his desk buBily engaged in preparing an address to be delivered before the State Board of Agriculture when the young ladies entered and gave him a complete surprise. They brought refreshments in profuse abundance and the evening was hapilv passed.

THE POKER POPPED.

A Fowder Explosion Wrecks Things at the Robbins House This Morning. Some days ago the cook of the Robbins House picked up in the coal shed what appeared to be a piece of gas pipe turned to a point at one end to make a poker. It looked liken funny poker and he accordingly took it to the kitchen and utilized it as such. It was taken into the water closet a day or so later and was used to poker the fire there. Charley Rossiter poked the fire with it several times and everybody voted it a great find and took delight in poking the fire whenever they passed along. Last Saturday Fred Mills, the night clerk, and Bob Thomas, the colored porter, were in the room and Fred seizing the poker began punohing the fire with a right good will. He was just giving the 13th punch when there was a tremendous explosion which shook the whole house. The people in the office ran into the wash room and beheld Fred Mills rushing out of the water closet holding a revolver in his hand while Jake Joel crouched in terror in one corner of the wash room where he had been combing his imperial whiskers when ttie explosion occurred. Bob Thomas sat dazed in the water closet covered with soot and gasping "I never done it!" Mills fell and declared his revolver had accidentally gone off and shot him in the knee. His pantaloons were torn to shreds, and blood streamed down his leg profusely. He was picked up and carried to his room where DrsTaylor and Gott dressed his wounds. It was found that three sharp fragments of iron, presumably pieces of stove, had shattered his knee bones making an ugly wound which will probably stiffen the member for life. In the water closet everything was wrecked, the windows had been blown out, the stove broken to fragments and soot covered everything. Bob Thomas, the colored boy, had a bad cut on the side of his head and it appears a wonder that both he and

Mills were not killed. It seems that the cause of the explosion was that poker. It was not a poker «it all but a bomb lance such as aro used by the whale h,unters on the sea. How it came there is explained by D. W. Cox. Last year when the Bon Hur Tableaux Co. was in the East it stopped some time at New Bedford, Mass., at one time the great whaling center on the coast. When the whaling industry was transferred to the Pacific NewBedford's occupation was gone and every old junk shop in the town contains relics of the by gone traffic. Mr. Cox secured one of the great guns and several of the bomb lances. These lances are about two feet long and resemble a pioce of gaB pipe sharpened at one end. They are loaded with powder, shot into the whale and explode from a fuse, causing the animal's death. None of the lanceB Mr. Cox brought home were loaded but Milt Burk brought home Beveral which lay around Music Hall for awhile with the company's effects. One of those was in some manner left loadod several years ago and was finally thrown into the back yard of tho Robbins House, where the cook poker.

rejoiced to find it as a

If Natural Gas fails.

The prospect that natural gas fields will be exhausted in the near future need not cause serious alarm. Even if the natural gas doeB give out its place will be soon taken by the manufactured article. Many of the oil and gas men of Pittsburg went to Greensburg the other night to witness a test of a new gas which it is claimed iB destined to replace the natural gas for illuminating and heating purposes. The gas is produced by a simple chemical process from coke, oil and water. The inventor made his first test at Bellefontaine Ohio. Only a small furnace was used at that time, and the Greensburg manufactory iB the first large concern ever constructed. At the test it was demonstrated that the supply of gas can be made equal to the demand. The test was made through a ten inch pipe, and even experts said they could not detect the difference between it and the natural gas. The Pittsburg people are negotiating with the inventor for the right of the process Sor that city.—Anderson Democrat.

"Clint KifT."

The Christmas number of the U'eslefni Horxcman contains a full page write up of ,T. H. Freeman's "Ciint Kill"' and displays a magnificent picture of the fine animal. Among other things it says:

Clint Kiff, who is obliged by his inheritance to show good looks, speed and endurance, was out as a raser last year ./hen he paced fifty-two heats in twelve races, usually in strong fields and with but one exception staid in the thick of the fight till five heats at least were disposed of. At Bainbridge, in a six heat race, he won the 4th, 5th and Gth in 2:32, 2:30, 2:32. Five days later at Crawfordsville, in a field which held three Bald Hornets, he was a close fighter in eight heats, coming in number one in two heats and second in one In the fifth heat he secured last year's record of 2:27.

HAPPY MARRIAGE.

Hiram Connard and Miss Florence A, Dillman United In Matrimony. Quito a large number of invited guests assembled in tho audience room of the First Presbyterian church on Deo. 29 to witness the marriage of Hiram Connard and Miss Florence A. Dillman. At eight o'clock Miss Anna Burns began playiDg the Mendelssohn wedding march and to this beautiful m'.i6ic the wedding party entered the room preceded by tho ushers, Messrs. Elmer and Ingram Hills. The grosm entered at the east door with his beet man, Mr. Ed Tucker, and was followed by attendants Messrs. George Fry and Will Griffith.

lowed to the altar by her brides' maids Misses Flora Kostanzer and Edith McLain. The party arriving at the altar, formed a half circle with the bride ana groom in the center facing tho officiatng minister, Rev. J. R. Breaks, or Earl' Park. The bride was attired in a becoming gown of white silk trimmed wifcU, lace and carried exquisite bride's roses as did the maid of honor and bride's maids. The ritual used was that of the Westminster confession amended by the introduction of the beautiful ring service. At the conclusion of the service a very impressive prayer was offered by Rev. R. S. Inglis and to sweetly, solemn music the wedding party proceeded up the west aisle. Arrived at the door the party faced and received the benediction which was pronounced by Mr. Inglis. The party was then driven to the residence of the bride's mother, Mrs. Ellen ,T. Dillman, at (08 south Green street. Here a reception was tendered Mr. and Mrs. Connard and Mr. and Mrs George Dillman, of Waveland, who were married Wednesday, Mrs. Dillman being a Miss Ada Putnam, of Glenwood, and a very amiable and charming young lady. Mrs. Dillman will prove a valuable acquisition to the society of Waveland where her husband is a loading business man. The rooms of the residence were very tastefully adorned with ferns, mistletoe and holly, these beautiful plants being profusely displayed. Over fifty guests were received and were entertained in a most cordial and hospitable manner. An elegant luncheon •was served and as favors white satin bows were presented to the guests. Quite a number of very valuable and beautiful presents were recoived and made a very pretty display. Mr. and Mrs. Connard will go to housekeeping in a beautiful little home on west Market Btreet attended by the well wishes of all their numerous friends. They are deservedly a popular young couple and have many admirable attributes to command them to the esteem of all who know them. THE JOURNAL takes pleasure in extending congratulations.
