A iEEi! GRAVEL ROAD.

What It Costs Under the Dew Law to Make a Road. jU.nder the new latf governing the con.etruction of free gravel roads it makes it the duty of the viewers to return a very elaborate report. Such reports are then to be published for three weeks in a newspaper, and the securing of this printing is quite a prize for anyone's -.-ppcketbook. One of these reports has appeared in the

Star,

and is four and a

quarter columns in length, the greater portion being in a tabulated form. The cost of printing this will be near $200. This is a free gravel road petitioned for by Isaac N. Meharrji e't al., and commencing at the Clover Leaf railroad on Vine street, in Wingate, and running west 112|- feet, and then north 1,G94 feet to the boundary line between Montgomery and Tippecanoe counties. The entire length being three miles and 160 feet. The estimated cost of this road is given at S'1,778.60 and benefits assessed Bgainst lands and town lots within two miles of the road are S5,304.98. The

s,-estimated

expenses of making the re

port, publishing it and paying the superintendent is given $500 while the profit t,o the contractor is named at $388.96. There are nine culverts on •i the line of road and one bridge. There are 195 tracts of land assessed and 107 lots in Wiiigute. The benefits assessed to land owned by Isaac N. Meharrv amount to S7§"-i Ates Meharrv, §750 ©gnrel'\OQrti6,. "$205 B. A. R. Bench, and ranges oti down to 20 oeAts." l'n'tlie rep'orff the description of the kind of gravel to be used is named, and the manner of the construction of bridges, culverts, roadway, etc., which occupies a. column and a half of solid nonpareil.

A Brilliant Wadding."1

Alas For Cornelius.

The Washington correspondent, of the Indianapolis

News

says: "Around the

Heilman House, the headquarters of the Indiana office-seekers, to-day the silence was

dense you could have pared it

with a knife. It was all on account of the President's order denying himself to office seekers. Among the Hoosiers who were in Washington when the cannon went off, as one of them expressed it, were the following: C. W. Cunningham, Crawfordsville Dr. Pitzer, Tipton Henry Mellon, Booneville Judge Lowry Ft. Wayne L. A. Kirkwooa, Muncie Elliott Bowman, Covington Captain Archer, Spencer. Most of them will take the President's advice and go home."

A Guaranteed Circulation

Geo. P. Rowell & Co., publishers of the American Newspaper Directory, have prepared the following advertisement for publication in

Printers' Ink.

will be read by Crawfordsville advertisers with interest: JOURNAL, Crawfordsville: Its daily idition is one of the (only eleven) daily "papers in Indiana and its weekly edition one of the (only fiftv-one) weekh papers, the exact accuracy of whose circulation ratings the American Newspaper Directory guarantees by a $100 forfeit. Its records shows a regular issue for 1892 of 1,031 copies daily, and 1,838 copies weekly.

A Good Judeje.

The El Reno

Eagle,

of April 29, con

tains the following notice, complimentary of our former townsman, Judge John H. Burford:

During the present term of court, Judge Burford has impressed upon the minds of the people.evep, more forcibly thin heretofore, the Met ihat he is the proper man for the position which he fills. He has disposed of cases with remarkable, rapidity, and the ^fairqess of instruOTldris'and deaisidrisj together with his keen perception of intricate legal points, have won for him the highest respect of the bar and the public.

Rates to the World's fair.

There is a general uneasiness among the railroads concerning the special scheduled rates to the World's Fair. This is caused partly by the general dissatisfaction prevailing over these rates. If the round trip rate had been made even one-half the regular rate it would have been more like the ideas of the people than the regular excursion ra,te. A railroad man

haB

remarked that

within a month the railroads would be trying to induce people to take the ride for $1 for the round trip.

A Trip to Terre Haute. ^.r

Several members of the P. O. S.% A. Camp were at Terre Haute April 3rd, visiting Camp 36, and initiating several candidates. They were met at the depot by several members of the camp there, and taken to the hall. Here the time was spent in camp session, initiating candidates and getting acquainted. Near midnight a banquet was held in another hall, and those from this city were fully prepared to clear ihe table. Sam J. Billman acted as tonstmaster and about a dozen of those present made short speeches. The guests were enter tained over night and returned next morning thoroughly satisfied with their trip. The following persons from Camp 6 were present: A. L. Tomlinson, Ben. W. Wilhite, Sam J, Billman, Sam Coleman, W. M. Reeves, Guy Steele, Chas. Kramer, Will Layne, H. B. Barnhart, Sam D. Svmmes, W. M. Smith, Lew Collins, J. W. White, C. W. Buck, Frank Hutchings, Frank Richmond, Howard Mauck, E. W. Leech, Howard Griffith, J. S. Kelly, Lew Willis, Walter Seerirg. The Terre Haute Camp his secured a right start, and will be a credit to the city in more ways than one.

The Midland's Scheme.

Harry Crawford, general manager and high cockolorum ex-officio, was in the city vosterday, and when asked by a

Herald

reporter if the C. & S. E. would

go through to Muncie thia year he said: "Well, I guess not—they did not vote us the subsidy, and when we said it wouldn't be built unless the subsidy was voted we meant it. Several people thought it was only a bluff on our part, and it would go,through, subsidy or no. They aire mistakejb, and unless Salem township reconsiders her verdict on the matter, the road will continue to have its eastern terminus in this city."

Middletown is now after the road. This would take it around Salem township, and should a subsidy be voted it is highly probable that the road will go to Muncie 'via that point.—Anderson

Herald.

Miss Anna Million's Death. When the Crawfordsville Presbytery met here three weeks ago one of the brightest and happiest young ladies in attendance was Miss Anna Milligan, of Crawfordsville. She read a paper on "Glimpses of Missions 'round the World," which was conceded to be one of the most meritorious contributions to the entire session. ThiB paper made so many friends for Miss Milfigan that she was elected secretary of the Home Mission board of this presbytery. This hopeful and charming young lady is now in her grave, snatched avpay in the twinkling of an eye.—Delphi

if-' THE flEWELL ESTATE,

Two Heirs in This County Interested in the Suit. The contest at Cincinnati., over the estate of Thomas J. Newell is qf interest to two residents of this county, James ,R. and George Green. There, are seven theirs who are trying to break a will aW leged to have been made by Mr. Newell.

A brief history of the case is that Mr. Newtell was a baohelor, worth over $125,000, and died in October^ 189], at the age of 72 years. Several months before his death he made his home with a Mrs. Mary A. Woodsworth, a woman who had before figured in the courts contesting over wills made in her favor by wealthy people who had died at her home. Mr. Newell seemed to have been infatuated with Mrs. Woodsworth, and when she and her daughter went on a trip to Niagara Falls daily. correspondence ftas kept np, and a large portion of this'correspondence was in words unlit, for publication. He, especially, longed to see her again and she always reminded him. to burn her letters, wliich it seems he did not do. During his last illness Mrs. Woodsworth and her husband bestirred themselves concerning a will. Finally Mr. Newell had his attorney to draw up a will conveying property to persons whose names were left blank. Finally Mr. Woodsworth told the attorney that Mr. Newell desired to convey nil his property to his wife. The paper was drawn up, and when presented to Mr. Newell he refused- to sign it. After he died this will turns up signed and acknowledged. All this has been shown on the witness stand, and also that his former acquaintances had been refused admission to his room, under the plea that he was crazy and liable tq.strike them. The defense is now endei\oring to show that the will is genuine.

Status of the Rate War.

The demand for cheaper fares to Chicago has reached the ears of the general passenger agents, and they are giving the subject considerable attention. Most of them are not pleased with the stand token by the Lake Erie it Western, but no local line will will agree to give as low rate as that line. It is said that there will be plenty of cheap rates, and that the $8 rate is for people who want to go to Chicago on tickets.that are good till Nov. 1, and' by trains that have sleeping and dining-car accommodations. They say there will be a niimber of special rates made Jjut r.lsp say ,the trains on which they are good will not be first class. In other words, the jjeople will be crowded two in a seat, the coaches will be old and the trains run as extras. The Lake Erie & Western people announce that their trains will be first class in every particular. The agents of the all-rail lines decline to discuss the situation until after next Wednesday's meeting. They

That McPherson Post, No.

7, Department of Indiana, G. A. R., endorses the action of the Department Encampment at Evansville, April 6 and 7, 1893, relating to the Mexicanization of the State Soldiers and Sailors' Monument.

The resolution carried with but one dissenting vote. It was a full meeting of the Post. There were no speeches made and from the discussions that had been made through the newspapers for the last several months it was thoroughly understood. It but expresses the sentiments of McPherson Post, and reverses the action taken some time since when It was not understood and at a small meeting. The offensive dates on the monument may not be taken off this year, or next year, or the next, but in time they will be erased. That step has been determined upon.

-a, ., The Indiana Collectors. The Washington correspondent of the Indianapolis

News

says it may be stated

upon the very best of autority that the two revenue collectors for Indiana will be appointed about July 1st. There seems to be no longer any doubt that Bracken, of Franklin county, will be named for the Sixth district, and Joshua Jump, of Terre Haute. haB the lead in the Seventh, although there has been considerable opposition to him of late, and his chances can hardly'be said to be as good as those of Bracken.

A Free Church.

The Christian church was crowded Sunday night to its utmost capacity to hear Rev. W. J. Howe's lecture on "A Free Church." The audienoe was not disappointed for the lecture was a most eloquent and patriotic one. It abounded in sentiments truly American and met with the hearty approbation of all present. Mr. Howe is an eloquent minister and is growing in popularity.

that at the last

meeting of the Chicago and Ohio River Association, held in this city, General Passenger Agent Daly agreed not to make a cheap rate for World's Fair business, and are angry that he has done so. Mr. Daly says he made no such promisee, and sees no reason why there should be a high rate to Chicago now, when for over a year the local lines had a regular rate of $3 when there was no particular attraction at Chicago. Though the local lines are in a strong agreement there is no penalty attached if the agreement is broken.—Indianapolis

Reversed a Former Action.

Last Saturday evening at the regular meeting of McPherson Post, No. 7, G. A. R., the following resolution was adopted:

spent Saturday

in Crawfordsville and Sunday in Crawfordsville nil. Oliver grew weary of moulding minds last week and when the

was out and the mental cravings of its subscribers ministered to, Oliver put the contents of the safe and a No. 32 bulldog revolver in his pocket and came to Crawfordsville. He thought great thoughts all the way and drank great sphooners of beer all day. He solicited ii little for his advertising department in the afternoon and along about three o'clock was "drugged" by some contemptible bar keeper, who had no respect for the "fourth estate," the freedom of the press or the editorial fraternity of Darlington. It took considerable good red liquor to drug Oliver but when once under the influence of cactus juice he made things hum. When his eloquence failed to convince his auditor.-? he had an unanswerable, overmastering argument in the shape of that bulldog revolver which speedily brought the dilatory or hesitating tradesman to Nancy Hanks time. Along about the gloaming Oliver descended on

IUK

oilice breathing strange oaths

and awful threateningB. The oflice of the great religious daily was closed for .the Sabbath rest, so Oliver missed a glorious opportunity to display his cuuning marksmanship, swell the population of the morgue and to make the heart of Coroner Bronaugh jump with professional and pecuniary joy. Just why Mr. Pitman desired to spill the rich blue biood of THE JOURNAL force is a mystery but to the bystanders he stated that he wanted every scalp in the establishment and by the continental congress he intended to have them or, to adopt his euphoneous turn of phrase, "bust his belly band." Having failed, however, to quaff the gore of any of his esteemed contemporaries Oliver concluded that beer was the next best thing.

He'accordingly proceeded to the friendly shelter of Gambnnus Hal), and held U|j Johnny Hochweinder, the barkeeper. He laid his revolver oh the bar while he sipped the cool, refreshing bock and the clicjk of the instrument as it was cocked was mistaken by Johnny for the ring of the customary expected nickel. He

careful not to discover hie error until after the departure of the erratio mind moulder. From Gambrinus Hall the doughty editor prooeeded to the. Sher* man House and endeavored to walk through the mirror in the office under the impression that it was a door. He interested the guests for half an hour and finally started for his train. Mine host Nolan, beaming with appreciation followed him to the door and going on the principle that it is well to speed the parting guest, admonished lym to "hustle." Oliver did hustle, but not in the direction Mr. Nolan expected. He hustled to his hip pocket and drawing his deadly argument fired point blank at the landlord, who beat a hasty retreat to the kitchen. The officers arrived at this interesting stage of the game and Oliver was garnered in, even as the ripe Bheaf of wheat is garnered by the hired hand who eats pie with his knife and drinks buttermilk with the noise of the bubbling brook.

Wm. Ridley Dyine

'•Bill" Ridley, colored, who is well known in this community, is quite low with consumption at the residence of Bill Robb, where he is receiving the best care that can be given him. A subscription paper is being circulated, asking cash contributions to help the poor fellow to secure medicine and necessaries, and every acquaintance of Ridley should contribute to the fund.

An Antiquity.

A. E. Ruffuer April 3rd shipped to Rouse, Hazard & Co., at Peoria, 111., one of the largest bicycle firms in the United States, a bicycle made in 1863. The machine weighed 80 pounds and was very clumsily built with large wooden wheels and solid iron and brass frame. It will occupy a position in the bicyole booth of the above firm at the World's Fair.

Another Howl Due.

Monday an order was made by Judge Harney on Tippecanoe county for $2,002 to pay G. P. Haywood and A. B. Anderson, for prosecuting the Pettit case. They had received $1,500 before. Another good healthy wailis due from the county on our north, which spent $25,000 trying Pettit and has 29 rioters to try at about $2,500 a try.

Decorate the Court House Yard Montgomery county should follow the example of her neighbors and make some decorations in her court hotiflfe yard. A few well arranged flower beds would cost but little but would make the appearance of things much improved. Krause & Crist offer to furnish the work free and the plantB for their aotual cost.

ience of Captain Rice and Dr. Coulter in the Big Four wreck us follows: Dr. Stanley M. Coulter, of Purdue, was a passenger on the ill-fated train from Chicago. He left the smoker for the coach in front of it, to join Captain Rice, who got on at Fowler, and both came down from there together. The train left Templeton at a good speed and when it struck the grade opposite Purdue had evidently become uncontrollable. On the compound curve on the embankment across the river bottoms, immediately west of the bridge, the coach began to careen over on its side like a sailboat, first on one

it was intense

ly dark. Both gentlemen left the scene inside of an hour, and after the tense nervous strain and excitement were over, began for the first time to be frightened. By the time they got home, they were all of a tremble. Dr. Coulter says he had enough of wrecks.

The initial lecture in the May Festival course given by the Epworth League was delivered Monday night at the Methodist churoh by Dr. R. V. Hunter, of Terre Haute. The evening was unfavorable on account of the rain which began to fall at the hour for assembling. However, he had a fair audience in attendance and one that appreciated all the good things uttered by the speaker in the couse of his address. The subject of his lecture was "Then and Now." He was most graphic in his description of the customs and manners of the people forty and fifty years ago and showed a striking contrast with the habits of the people of to-day. Great advancement had been made and the change was in the line of progress ana increased happiness for the people. The lecture was voted a success and at its conclusion the Doctor was warmly congratulated. 'i

Vauchn Vanishes.

Johnson J. Vaughn has been released from custody and is far, far away, as happy as Mike Britton with a new hound pup. Johnson was taken to Rockville on a change of venue to be tried for the crime of arson alleged to have been committed in Darlington several years ago. There happened to be an error made in the transcript so the court then decided that he had no jurisdiction. Accordingly he turned Johnson Vaughn loose. Johnson instead of coming back to Crawfordsville to be tried, as a good and conscientious citizen should have done, deliberately boarded the train and went to St. Louis. He will never come back any more, so it is well. We are rid of him and the county is saved the expense of a trial. Blessed are errors in transcripts for they shall make glad the county exchequer.

"'M'U Not a Calamityite. J. S. Forgy, ut Wellesville, Kan., in renewing his subscription to THE JODHNAi/, says. "Don't think for a moment that I havfl anything to dp with the calamity movement here. 1 like the political tone of THE JOUBNAI, and am too radical a Republican for such. In a few days a number of former Hoosiers will be with you to visit and to see the World's Fair.

Skipped the Country.

Peter J. Clark, one of the convicted Lafayette rioters, an Wm. Temple, one of the untried, have skipped their bail and left for parte unknown. Clark's bond was 84,000 and Temple's 8500.

then on the other. Dr. Coulter remarked to Captain Rice that the train was running at a sinful rate, and that there would be an accident some time if it was not stopped. The lights of the city were soon visible, and when near the bridge, with no sign of chocking, both gentlemen realized that there was trouble ahead, and Doctor Coulter said, "Jump for the aisle," and the Captain, "We're going to run into something!" All in the oar were awake and jumped for the aisle, although Messrs. Coulter and Rice, knowing of the dangerous right angle curve ahead, were probably the only ones who at all realized the terrible peril. All estimated the speed at about seventy-fivo miles an hour, and the train crossed tho bridge (which did not even shake) like an arrow, whose flight could scarce be seen. Dr. Coulter expected to land in the canal at the first curve at the end of the bridge, with the sleepers on top of his coach yet not a woman fainted or screamed, or a man halloed. All the passengers behaved well, and the Doctor has a good deal of faith in humanity now. He was calm, as was his companion, apd their conversation was continued while standing in the aisle. When the coach left the track Captain Rice said, "We have landed at last," and Dr. Coulter, "Somewhat unceremoniously, but still here." Both gentlemen assisted the ladies from the car, going forward and to the right. The sleepers had pushed the coach on a little, and the sheds had fallen in front and to tho left of it, and between them, and tho wreck. No one in the car was hurt. Dr. Coulter had the Bramble House night clerk telephone for surgeons and inside' of five minutes from the time the train left the track, the fire department had hose laid and begun work. The city electric lights were out and the train shed lights had been extinguished by the fall of the shed,

We clip the following from the Rockville

t*or

many months past the publishers of the Biographical Record of Monti gomery, Parke and Fountain counties* have been industriously gathering together the necessary facts and, informa-, tion to compile this work. We are informed that in addition to containing valii'ible local remiuiscenses and historical facts the work will be embellished with handsome lithographic portraits of many of the old pioneer men and women, and some of the prominent men of the pres-, eut who have helped to develop the resources of these counties. The publishers have in their employ a fine artist,' who will make pencil drawings of many of the old as well as some of the new homes of our citizens. From these sketches elegant lithographs will be made which will grace the pageB of the forthcoming work. The importance of the publication cannot be too highly estimated, nor the enterprise of the publishers too highly commended. We trust our citizens will accord to the representatives of the company who are now in our county a hearty and cordial co-operation. •1':
