Correspondents Wanted.

THE JOUBNAL wants regular correspondents at Kirkpatrick, Waveland, Wingate, Ladoga, New Richmond and other towns and neighborhoods where it is not now represented.

Two More.

We understand two more candidates for the postoffice have materialized in the persons of Robert F. Beck and Charles N. Vancleave. A primary election among the faithful is the way to settle the matter. By all means let the masses hive a say in the matter. :1

funeral of Mrs. J. W. Cumberland. The funeral of Mrs. J. W. Cumberland occurred on Thursday from the iesidence of the family on LaFayette avenue. conducted by Dr. Jos.F. Tuttle. A large concourse of friends attended and followed the remains io their last resting place at Oak Hill cemetery. The pall bearers were T. D. Brown, Charles Harding, Fred Manson, J. R. Robinson, Wm. Nicholson and T. H. B. McCain. The honorary prtll bearers were Ben T. Ristine, Alexander Thompson. Gen. M. D. Manson and Major L. A. Foote.

The Ead Draws JNtv.r.

The end of the great Pettit murder case is drawing near. Messrs. George P. Haywood and A. B. Anderson, attorneys for the State in the Pettit case, Mir. 29 sent to the Supreme court at Indianapolis, their brief in answer to the appeal of he defense for a new trial iD the celebrated cause. The appeal covers 238 pages of printed matter, and is a volumninous and complete review of the case from the State's attorneys. An early consideration is expected in tbt? Supreme court. It is the custom to consider State cases at the earliest possible moment as the appellant is always imprisoned, of course, during the court's deliberations, and if he is not guilty in the judgment of the court, or if he merits a new trial, he should not be obliged to suffer the delay which necessarily attends judgment in many civil cases. A verdict from the court may be given in a month.

Booked the Clothes. •.

A sDeak thief visited the place of Hon. F. M. Dice Monday night and made things look blase about the establishment. He entered the smoke house and carried off all the meat but unfortunately he did not stop there. The week's washing was gaily fluttering in the March wind from the clothes line and the thief sacrificed thiB also on the altar of his greed. He took every Btitch of puiple and fine linen and wrapping up the meat in it drove gaily off. The report that a party which visited an adjacent sugar camp that night committed the heinous crime is false iii every particular.

Jesse F. Booe, who married Mrs. Emma Crique a few days ago, was duly arrested Thursday charged with the robbery committed at the plnce.of Hon. F. M. Dice Monday. Thursday afternoon Booe waived examination befor Chumasero and was placed under $1,000 bond to await the action of the circuit court. At last accounts the dear boy was in jail.

The moment the police were notified of the theft of the clothes and bacon they instituted inquiry and ascertained Wednesday that Booe had offered cured meat for sale at a well known grocery house. A search warrant was swort out and the res'dence of Booe duly searched. The meat was found and was duly identified by John Miles, Mr. Dice's farm superintendent. The clothes were none of them discovered on the Booe premises, however.

Booe was jailed and denies the crime in the language of the polite society in which he has moved since his advent into Crawfordsville. It is thought, in fact it is jDretty well established that there were two parties to the theft and the other man probably got the clothes as his share. Booe is exceedingly well connected and was raised by his grandfather at Hillsboro. He is suspected of relieving the old gentleman of §170 just before he married the Crique woman.

fifty Years.

Thursday last, the 23d of March, was ex-Senator James A. Mount's fiftieth birthday anniversary, and in response to an invitation from his wife about thirty neighbors and friends gathered to celebrate it. Mr. Mount was busily showing the workings of his evaporator to some visitors who had set that time purposely and the guests gathered quietly while he was thus engaged. Near noon he went to the house with them and conducted them to the parlor, where the "surprise" awaited him, and he confessed' it was a complete one. Dinner was announced in due time. The table was not heard to "groan" as it is often said to do on similar occasions. Mrs. Mount's table is too well inured to hospitality for that, though the choicest viands of the season were that day spread in profuse abundance. There was a dainty little "fiftieth birthday" favor for each guest, as a memento of the happy occasion. Mr. Mount was born on the farm where he now resides and his career is too well known to need any comment at this time. He might say, in the language of Riley,

Forty years of shade tin' shine :f: Sence them boyhood days of mine."

and linger on the retrospection with satisfaction. His friends wish him many happy returns of the daj. M.

A Patriotic Uitizen From Ladoga. Mr. George Gardner is one of the leading citizens of Ladoga and vends to the public of that enterprising place fluid extract of enthusiastic patriotism. Mr. Gardner's many admirable qualities come recited in detail and his lasting praises sung before the grand jury, which before it adjourned extended to Mr. Gardner a warm and pressing invitation to visit the county seat. Naturally Mr. Gardner was highly pleased and arrived March 29 with his sunny smile and Sunday clothes. Among other places of interest which he visited was the court house, where he met his old fellow townsman, Judge Harney. Mr. Gardner expressed himself as highly pleased with the eights of Crawfordsville, whose prosperity he rightlv ascribed to education. "Education," remarked Mr. Gardner impressively, as he leaned against the Judge's bench, "is the hope of America." Then this great and good man contributed $171.60 to the school fund. "\y.

THE RIOT TRIAL.

Begins to Look Dark for Murphy—-Tin Coils Tightening. The riot trial at Lafayette still con tinties audit begins to look as thougl Murphy would surely be convicted ol attempted asaasination. Tuesday Dr Aokerman testified to seeing Murphy in the position in the house where* tlu State has repeatedlj placed him. He heard the shot and saw the flash, bill did not know who fired it. George Kachele testified to being within a few feet of Murphy at the opera house. He saw him standing up and heard him ask Jamison to move along in the row of seats so he (Murphy) could occupy the end seat. This witness sat almost in front of Murphy, and saw him get up, load his revolver and shoot, his weapon being pointed toward Rudolph, was on the stage. The defense tried to find out from Kachele whom he told first about seeing the shooting and to whom he had told the name of the shooter. He replied he had told members of his family and two women employed at the place where he works.

John W. Graves testified that Murphy and two companions went up into the gallery. One of the men with the defendant was drunk, and the opera house policeman asked Graves to go up stairs and get the drunken man out. Graves found the men in an aisle and told them to sit down or go down. Murphy, the defendant, turned to his companions and said, "Come along, boys, there is no chance for us up here." The defense sought to secure an admission that this remark referred to the fact that there were no seats, but the witness testified that there were vacant seats up in the gallery.

Robert J. Hudlow, better known as "Jack" Hudlow, a railroad engineer, waB examined at length in. regard to what he saw at the opera house on the night of tho riot. His description of the scenes that followed the shooting was highly graphic. He said he saw men and women on the lloor, behind the seats, crawling and dodging in every manner, endeavoring t.o keep out of range of the bullets. Hudlow was the man that came in contact with l'eter J. Clark, present street commissioner of this city, and knocked Clark down. He did this with a seat, that he tore loose from the opera house floor. He had hardly downed Clark, he said, and was in the act of giving him another blow, when someone smashed him aua ho fell across the prostrate body of Clark. Uudlow's testimony was the most interesting description of the riot yet obtained.

The State closed in the case against Murphy, the LaFayette rioter, Wednesday. The principal witnesses of that day all gave strong evidence against the accused. At the request of George P. Haywood, for the State,

Btage

manager

James Isley was directed to reset the scenery exactly as it was at the uime of the riot, and after the counsel for both sideB should examine the stage and settings, the jury would go to the house and make a special inspection. James H. Bagby, train-oispatcher for the Lake Erie & Western, was the next witness. He knew Murphy personally for two or three years. Bagby sat in Section E, on the night of the riot. There was a noise under and all around the stage. As the noise began, Bagby said he turned around to his right, and saw Murphy advancing from the raditator, on the west side of the house, around the seats toward the stage. Murphy had his revolver in his right hand, and carried the weapon partially extended in front of him. He saw Murphy fire the shot, but said he did not wish to do the defendant an injustice, and wished to say that he did not think Murphy's pistol was pointed at the speaker.

W. M. Johnson, a carpenter, sat in Section F, the point from which Murphy has been repeatedly shown to have fired at the speaker. After Riley struck with the pole at Rudolph, Rudolph fired, nearly falling on the stage from the force of the blow when he was hit. There were shots fired from behind witness, which is about the locality where Murphy is alleged to have been when he fired.

Lovejoy and Jamison, two witnesses who swore to seeing Murphy shoot, were asked by Colonel Dehart, for the defense, if they had not told Frank Kennedy and Maggie Enright, respectively, that they did not know the man who had fired the first shot. Both denied having said anything of tho kind. Prosecutor Wood at 4 o'clock rested for the State and Judge Langdon adjourned court till Thursday.

The Annual,Horse Show.

At a meeting of horsemec and others, at the office of Insley & Darnall, Tuesday, it was decided to have the annual horse show in Ihis city on Saturday, April 15. Besides the show of stallions heavy draft geldings and mares will be shown from three years old up, general purposes, geldings and mares, three years old and upward, light harness geldings and mares, from two years old and upward. An effort will be made to make the Ghow the greatest ever given in Crawfordsville.
