Adams Express Company.

On April 1 Adams ExpressR Company will open an office in this city and begin competition with the United StutesCompany. The Adams will probably open up in the room used by Joe Taylor and Fount Eaetlack will probably be agent.

The Oil Gas.

The oil gas is now in general use all over the city and is giving great satisfaction. Iw is a decided improvement over the ooul gas and gives a much more eteady and brilliant light. The change was a great step forward and Crawfordsville no?* litis the best gas plant in the State. '•President Uoulter's Successor.

There is no doubt that President Coulter, of the State University, will accept the chair offered him at Chicago. Dr. Woodburn, at present a professor in the university, and Superintendent Jones, of the Indianapolis public schools, are named as eligibles for the vacancy created.

The Orchestra Enlarged.

The Crawfordsville orchestra will be enlarged from six to ten pieces. The new members will be John Hell, French horn Ivy Carr, French horn Lee Smith, viola, and Charley Lncev, flute. A higher class of music will also be played and we will have an organization of which the city may well be proud."-

It Was Only $8.

It was a judgment for ,$S and not 880 which Mrs. Col. Tribbj cjot ngiunst Sheriff Bible Thursday. The plaintiff and defendant both deny having called each other rough names. They are tirobably right. The information came from the Justice's court. The whole case was a great big farce from beginring to end.

Loss by lire.

Monday the house of Israel Patton, five miles northeast of the city took fire and burned to the ground with all its contents. Mr. Patton

and the smoke house taking fire communicated the flames to the dwelling, which was also destroyed. Mr. Patton had 8800 insurance but it will not nearly cover his loss. .New Grocery Firm.

Anew grocery firm has been made by the union in business of Henry Sloan and Jeff Stuart. They will take possession of their new quarters on north Washington street in a few days. Mr. Stuart has been for years in the employ of D. Li. Lee & Son and is thoroughly afficient and popular. Mr. Sloan has long been at the head of a good business and the two will doubtless enjoy a large patronage.

A Ohance For a Law Suit.

The Big Four railroad is about to fill up a trestlo on the farm of Isaac Davie, near Wesley. Mr. Davis, however, has been used to driving beneath the trestle and wants the company to leave him a roadway. Herman McCleur has been employed by J. L. Shrum, who is Mr. Davis' attorney, to examine Lhe lay of the land and give an opinion as to "the merits of the case. If will very likely get into court.

Purchased the Sperry Mill. Crabbs & Reynolds have purchased the Sperry saw and flour mills, the dam and water privilege, the 313 acres of land the houses and all the other property appertaining to the business from the First National Bank. The consideration was 88,000. The mill will bo run under the superintendence of Fr nk Uallowell, of Waynetown. No radical changes will be made and the mill will not be run in conjunction with Crabbs and Reynolds' elevator business. .—- VMSI

Accident to Mrs. Biner. SH

Mrs. Hiner, matron of the Orphans' Home, met with a very painful accident Thursday last week. She and her son-in-law, Frank Stout, were in a buggy near the Vandalia railroad on Market street. A freight train came up and frightened the horee which backed down into a deep gully. The night was dark and Dr. Hutchings who was only a few rods behind them could not imagine where they had disappeared to until the train had passed and he heard cries for help Mrs. Hiner had fallen on her head, sprained her neck, while her face was mashed to a jelly.. jjg

THE MAYOR OF FORT TVAYNE,

He Speaks Out In Favor of Sowerase Before Paved Streets. In beginning the work of permanent improvements there is nothing like investigation. Therefore, Tins -JOIISNAT., Lns written to the Mayors arid Engineers of several cities for their opinion's on sewerage and paving. Mayor Zollinger of Fort Wayne. writes as follows:

FCHT WAYNE, Ind, March 15, 1893.— MY DH.VK Silt —In reply t.o vonrs of the '!Ui iJ will Buy ihtit the correct outiiiso ten- your council to pursue is before iliey order permanent improvements HI THE way of pavements, it is necessary to linve a perfect s\slem of sewerage. Every eity should have good sewerage above everi/thina else. As you say, when streets are paved it ruins them to have them dug up for sewers or any other purpose. I will also say that in my opinion brick pavements well put down au- the best pavement for the cost now in use. Very truly yours,

C. A. ZOLIJINGBII, Mayor.

A Uobh Without the Uorn, A i'.iiiubcr of our citzens have peculiar CEVU86 bO remember "Rev." A. S. Cobb, the bonanza king, who resided in Crawfordsville several years ago and while in a philanthropic state of mind sold stock in the "Mineral Hill" silver mine to his intimate friends. The man of God sold a good lot of that stock and you can find boxes of"specimens"from the "Mineral Hill" in a large number of wood houses and garrets over our beautiful city. The mine never paid as well as the expounder of the Word thought it would. You see they took all the ore out and passed it around as specimens, so there wasn't any to work on when the stock was sold. After good brother Cobb had sold all his stock and everybody that bought it he left for pastures new while his wife sued for a divorce. She got it and that leads up to a little story. Brother Cobb wasn't a man to long live contentedly in single blessedness. He began prospecting around and in order to make himself more attractive he pleasantly claimed to have an income of about 850,000 a day from his mining interests. He finally struck Euglewood, III., and there men the dark eyed beauty known as the "Queen of Englewood." She was immensely wealthy and was moreover strictly business. Brother Cobb entered the field and plied his suit with the fervor and eloquence with which he once sold mining stock in Crawfordsville. The queen "ame off her perch and they were married. Then came a rude awakening, neither of them had 8100 and each had married the other for money. To give the awakening a sort of a climax the sheriff came in and closed them out. Brother Cobb is hardly as gay as when he signed out Mineral Hill stock to Crawfordsville silver seekers.

The Foot Ball Sohedule.

The schedule for the inter-collegeate foot ball games to be played next autumn was arranged at Indianapolis last Saturday and is as follows:

Oct. 14—Bloomington at Purdue Butler at DePauw Rose Polytechnic at Wabash.

Oct. 21—Wabash at Bloomington Rose Polytechnic and winner of the De-Pauw-Butltr game at the winner's grounds. Purdue and loser of same game at Indianapolis or Lafayette.

Nov. 11—DePauw at Wabash Bloomington at, Rose Polytechnic. Nov. 18—Butler at Wabash.

Nov. 25—Rose Polytechnic and loser of Butler-DePauw game at Butler or DePauw.

Nov. 30—Purdue and winner of last game, at Indianapolis. State field day was set for May 29, and the games will occur at Terre Haute.

Lover's Lane of Lee al Record. Judge Thomac has sold the 29 acre field to the Austin estate and lying just east of the city, to Wm. T. Bec-k, for 84,000. The property borders on Lover's Lane and in drawing up the deed Judge Thomas described the property as lying just west of the highway known as Lover's Lane. This is the first time the Lane was ever seen legally named, jind the fact will no doubt add greatly to its popularity. In matters of love there's nothing like a sense of legnlity to heighten the enjoyment. Hereafter spooning in Lover's Lane will be considered perfectly prop er and in good form. Young people will govern themselves accordingly.

Will Keep the Home Here. The directors of the Orphan's Home met Monday afternoon with the county commissioners and discussed the propriety of accepting the proposition made by the St. Joseph county Home to take all this county's children for a stipulated sum. The directors were unanimously opposed to accepting the proposition, and after hearing their reasons which seemed eminently satisfactory the commissioners decided to retain the Home in Montgomery countv They are now looking around for a suitable location and are ready to receive all offers and suggestions on this head.

Lame for Life.

Miss Louisa Krug, who fell a few days ago, is more seriously hurt than at first thought. A hip bone is broken which will cause her to be lame for life.

GOOD PEOPLE.

They Oomo to Urawfordsville Leaving a Scaly Record at Oovington, Spence's paper of Covington has the following to stty concerning a worthy couple who recently settled in this city:

About three mouths ago we published in this paper the elopement of Lindsey Ellis with the wife of Henry Boldt."a miller of this place, Ellis leaving a wife and two chiluren. The eloping parties went west over the Big Four, landing in Bloomington, 111., where Ellis sought and obtained employment on the electric street care, and renting a housa and going to housekeeping with Mrs. Boldt. After the parties left here, Mr. lioldt instituted divorce proceedings in the circuit court, which were granted about two weeks ago, also giving him the custody of the children. Scarcely has the ink dried on the announcement of the divorce proceedings before we publish the marriage of the divorced parties, Boldt and wife. On la6t Saturday afternoon our citizens were surprised to meet Ellis again on our streetB, and to those whom he met and conversed with he stated that he had left the Boldt woman and had returned to live with his wife, and expected to make Covington his home if the citizens did not drive him away, and in the future would lead a different life, and would devote himself to secure the comfort of his wife and little children. He appears very penitent and says he never would have left with Mrs. Boldt had not Mr. Boldt forced him to leave with her, and furnishing her 8200 to leave with. He also says that Mr. Boldt called on his wife while in Bloomington, before and after tho divorce, and seemed to show the same love and affection as he did while they lived together in Covington, and he has not the least doubt that during his visits he arranged to meet her in Indianapolis, where, report says, they were married on last Saturday. Mr. Boldt, while not having disposed of his interest in the mill at this place, has offered his residence property for sale, and has gone to Crawfordsville to engage in the beer business, having been appointed general agent for that city. The marriage of Boldt to his former wife was a genuine surprise to our citizens, all of whom thought such a thing impossible after her cruel treatment of him, yet the ways of man as well as Providence are mysterious and past finding out. This woman must have a

Sudden Death.

Thomas B. Johnson lived near New Market until about five years ago, when he went to Witchita, Kansas. A shcrt time ago he decided to return to this county to end his days, he being 83 years old. He started and got as far as Decatur, 111., where he stopped to visit a married daughter. On Saturday night he retired in his usual good health and was feeling well at five clock Sunday norning, but between that time and six, when he was aloDe, he .quietly passed away. The remains were brought here and interred in the Masonic cemetery.

natural influence over him, r.nd works him br though he were but putty in her hands, or that he is so deeply in love with her that no sin she can commit is so black, but that he can condone, forgive and forget it. Ellis and wife have settled their troubles and will live together as formerly, eo soon as they can find a vacant residence.

The Premiums for Children's Bay. The following list of premiunir has been agreed upon by the county superintendent and trustees and the prizes will be awarded at the fair on children's day:

ITEMS OF INTEREST.

Gome of the Thiners For Which You Must Pay at the World's Fair. On May 1 the groat World's Fair begins at. Chicago and wo all intend to go in spite of our poverty aud tho Monon station. It is going to cost to go but the pries a good many things is fixed by a law as unalterable as that of tho Modes and Persians.

Hotel

rules

are going to be high. The

cheapest rooms will be lot Tor'82 per day, or ^l each to two persons occupying the same apartment. Rates will nBcend front this figure to

815

and

§25

per day, depending upon the hotel and its character. Few' hostelries will receive gueaIs on the American plan, most of theni preferring to tap the visitor separately for hie room and his meals.

Admittance to the fair grounds will be

50

cents. No "checks" will be issued allowing people to leav6 the grounds and re-enter without paying again.

The gates will be opened from 8 a. m. to 10 p. m., and the 50 cent admission ticket will be good for this period of time.

Persons who so desire may bring their own lunches into the groundb, but paper and refuse cannot be scattered about. Even peanut shells are tabooed, and all peanuts sold on the grounds will bo without shells. Meals sold at the exposition will be on the restaurant order, aud will cost from 50 cents to $1 apiece. One can figure at 75 cents as the price of a satisfactory meal.

The moving sidewalk will convey visitors around the grounds at 10 cents per ride, b« it long or Bhort.

Many of the minor exhibits and novelties will be charged for ext.ra as, for instance, the Eskimo villages, at which a peep may be had for 10 cents. There will be money-making contrivances withita the grounds, but a visitor can see most of the exhibits of interest without price, if he feels so disposed.

The gondolas upon the waters of the lake will carry passengers at 10 cents a passenger.

Chairs for wheeling about sick, infirm and elderly people can be hired by the hour at, a price not stated.

There will be checkrooms in the varions buildings, where baskets, parcels, etc., can be safely left for 10 cents apiece.

The street cars, both cable and electric, will charge 5 cents cash fare from the city to the'grounds.

The elevated road, if completed in time, will also ask 5 cents. The Illinois Central Railroad, from the city to the grounds, now charges 23 cents one way, or 25 centB for the round trip. It is alleged that the railroad proposes to reduce its rate to 10 cents each way.

The authorities of Chicago compel the hack and cab men to post up in their vehicles tariff rates fixed by ordinance, but many ol the drivers evade the law by scratching out the tariff while allowing the cards to remain in position.

Under the municipal regulations in Chicago the driver of a one-horse cab is allowed to charge 25 cents per passenger for distances not exceeding one mile, and 25 cents additional for each added mile or fraction thereof, 'i'lie passenger is allowed to carry one

trot

and 25

pounds of hand baggage ee. When cabs are hired by a party

by

the hour

the legal toll is 75 cents for be first 60 minutes, and 20 cents for ih addition al 15 minutes.

For two horse carriages the legal toll is SI for one or two passengers for one mile, or two miles for §2. If the driver attempts to exact more fare, call the nearest policeman. He must not charge for your trunk on his carriage, nor a 25 pound valise.

Chicago has an admirable omnibus system, and a uniform charge of 50 cents is made for transferring passengers from the depots to the hotels.

The Oollectorship Fight.

Judging from last Monday's Wash ington dmpatches the collectorship fight is not exactly settled. A special to the Indianapolis Sentinel says:

Congressman Brookshire feels very confident that Hulett will be appointed, lie will stand by him to the last while Senator Voorhees will stand by Jump, lhis contest will be carried on without any bad feeling among the members. Senator Voorhees and Congressman Brookshire are on the very best terms although both have candidates of their own for the tame place. The appointment of Hawkins for marshal, it is thought, will Injure Jump's chances as Hawkins and Jump reside in adjoining counties. lhe Indianopolis Journalxcorrespondent put it in the following light:

Senator Voorhees said to day that there would be no change in either the revenue collectorehips before August at the earliest. Meanwhile the opponents of Joshua Jump are trying the consolidate tho field against him, and are making some headway. Of his rivals, Samuel Ralston seems to be the most active. His personal "pull" on Clevelaud is worrying the friends of Jump. Ralston patiently waits about the corridors,smiles on everybody he meets, and says the collectorship in the Seventh district is far from settled yet.' Hon. John E. Lamb, who was appealed to by Jump's friends to come on and add his influence to that of Governor Matthews in favor of Jufnp, was expected here before this, but if here he was not visible to the naked eye of the hosts of waiting Democrats who want to tie onto his tow-line.

A GRAND SUCCESS.

The Entertainment of St, Charles Acadomy Proves to bj a Most Pleasant One.

Music Hall was filled on March 17 to ltness the annual exhibition of tho pupils of St. Charles Academy. Jt was St. Patrick's evening and tho bright green ribbons flutlered all over the andtence, which was rei.dered warm and appreciative by a so use of the great I national holiday of Ireland. The initial performance on the programme was the I presentation of the United States silk Hag to the Knights of St. John by the I Ladies' Auxiliary society of Crawfordsillo and this was introduced by a silent rill by the Knights whose grace and proficiency in the dillicult military movements excited general admiration und praise. The presentation address was made by Hon. T. E. Howard, Judge of the Supreme Court of Indiana and was a most excellent one. Judge Howard spoke as follows:

GHNTI.ISMEN, KNKIIITS OK ST .IOIIN IB pleasure, as it is an honor, to bo jailed upon the name of .your pastor and of tho Ladies' Auxiliary Society, to present tho American Hag to a socicty banded togethor us ,\ ou are, in tho cause of Clod anil your country.

Nor could any day bo inoro appropriate for these patriotic services, St. Patrick's day is almost as much an American as it is an Irish holiday. One-third of tho American people are proud of tho royal Ii iah blood that courses through their veins, and no one of the mother races of Europo has more strongly impressed itself upon tho American character than has this bright, bold, liberty-loving Irish race, a nation of warriors, scholars, poets and orators, bright minded as the ancient Greens, and deeply religious as tho chosen peoplo of God.

And it is fitting, too, that you,as a Catholic Knightly Society, should receive in this public manner the sacred banner of your country.

None arc more intensely American than the Catholic people, and with none is our national history more intimately associated. Four hundred years ago a Catholic genius, perhaps the greatest man that ever lived upon his earth, /ind under the auspices of a great Catholic nation, discovered this land of ours, and since that day in tho discovering, colom/.ation, civilizing and Christianizing of the laud, and in forming its government and in defending it when lormed. Catholics have always been present. Tho Catholic colony of Maryland was the lirst to proclaim religious liberty in the now world. On every battlclield of tho revolution, from Lexington to Yorktown, in every engagement in tho socond war of Independence, from Lundy's Lano to New Orleans, in every encounter in Mexico, from Bcuua Vista to tho capture of the city of the Montazumas, on every Union Hold of glory, from Fort Sumter to Appomattox, Catholic blood has been freely and gladly shea In defense of these stars and stripes, which you receive to-night. You are Catholic Knights and your country's history is full of tho heroic deeds of brother Knights, as chivalric as ever contended for the Conquest of Jerusalem. Ouo I will name to you as a pattern and a guide in defense of this flag of your country. Wh8u Colonel Mulligan was struck down, mortally wounded, on the Virginia battlefield, and his comrades, with tears streaming down tholr bronzed faces,tenderly took up tho dying lioro In their arms, suddenly he oponod his eyes and and in his weakened voice oi led oat. "No, no, boys, lay mo down and savo tho ling." Thero Is not a braver und more patriotic speech than that, that ever fell from the Hps of tin Ainorl can. Bleeding, dvlug, forgetrul of self, but onlj thoughtful of Ills country and of hor Hag, lie rouBed himself from approaching death aud offered oven this dying body, lying alone on the hattioneld that this banner of freedom might not lull Into the hands of the enemy.

When you look upon this glorious Hag of stars, aud stripes, stars brightas those in heaven blue to guard our liburty, stripes only to lash the enemies of freedom. When you bear it in honor at the head of your column, think how many a hero's blood has sunk into tiioso hr glit colors, how many a patriot has died to save it 1 rom dishonor.

It Is tho Hag of your country. Knights of Bt. John, thill 1 present to you in the name of tho sitters, wives, mothers and daughters of your own homes and llrcsides In the name of civil and religious liberty which It represents. The American peopie are the children of tho picked races of Europe. (Jod has gathered us here In this last new laud which ho has reserved for the greatest ol nations. This Is tho banner which represents this favored people of God. Guard it and care for Has the emblem of all that is best and purest in tho hope of humanity and Christian freedom. Defend it, 11' need be, as Al ulllgan did, with tho last drop of your heart's blood, and Ho will bless you, and love you as ho loved St, John WIIOBO knights you are.

The pupils of the ncademy then began the entertainment proper. Tiiis was introduced with the pretty chorus "Welcome Here" by the large and well trained vocal class, ana was followed with an admirable salutatory by Miss J. Kelly. Misses 11. Kelley and G*. Lawrence followed in tho vocal duet "Beautiful Moonlight," and displayed unusual talent and aptness. Prof. Eddie Rrandkamp and Prof. Harry liamsbrook then rendered a choice selection ou tho piano and violin which was warmly encored. Tho pretty little operetta, "A World's Affair," was then put on by the pupils whoso efforts, training and native ability cannot be too highly commended. The sisters of the ncadetny had evidently taken the utmost mains in their work as all acquitted themselves with a grace and credit far beyond their years and experience. Throughout a thoroughness and skill was displayed which

truly admirable and reflected the greatest credit on both teacher and pupil. The operetta is quaint little conceit which represents a conference of the different nations regarding their attendance at the World's Fair and introduces a humor at once rich and suprising. It presents many of the laughable sides of not only American national character but also that of other nations and pokes some sly fun at mushroom Chicago and the New York 400. The following was the cast of characters:

Many features of an amusing and instructive character were introduced which lent a charming variety and spice to the entertainment. All those taking part did most excellently and the costumes presented wore certainly very rich and attractive, as well as historically correct and exact. The speeches and songs wero all in excellent taste and faultlessly performed. The chorus "The Day We Left Ireland," by Misses F. SchuHz, M. Lawrence, ,T. Kelley, M. Halpin, It. Kelley, A. Schultz, G. Lawrence, M. Slattery was splendid and was heartily encored as was the magnificent recitation "A Suprise For Papa," by little Miss A. Lawrence, who iB certainly a marvel.

,4The

"Ocean Spray"

chorus by the vocal class was well executed. The entertainment closed with an instrumental duet by Misses M. Hanna and B. VanBandt, which was deserving of much praise. The entertainment was an unquallified success in all particulars and all connected with it are to be congratulated.

ANNIVERSAfLY BANQUET. The P. 0. S. A, Appropriately Celebrate Its Anniversary.

The third annual banquet of the P. O.S. A. was held March 16 and proved to be an eminently successful affair. The large assembly room of the organization in the Joel blook had been tastefully decorated and prepared for the occasion and here tho members of the order and their gueBtB assembled. The nBsemblage was a large and brilliant one and the spectacle presented was a very pretty one. When all were assembled a short and pleasant address of welcome was made by W. M. Reeves, who was followed by Mrs. ROSB Campbell who recited a stirring declamation in a faultless manner.

Shortly after 9 o'clock all adjourned to the banqueting hall in Elston's block, when nearly two hnndred sat down to the

tableB

so daintily spread. The ban­

quet was a great success and proved one of the most pleasant features of the evening. B. F.

The banquet over, all who had poetry in their heels returned to the armory and until a late, or rather an early hour tripped merrily through the dreamy waltz or the rollicking reel to the sweet music of the orchestra. It was a very happy occasion and will not soon be forgotten.
