CRAWFORDSVILLE INDIANA SATURDAY, JULY

,, 'RETURN Or MINISTER PIERCE.

Denial of the Charge that He Consumed Unnecessary Time in Reachma Lisbon. Ex-Senator Gilbert A. Pierce, of North DakoiH, and llev. R. S. Inglis and wife, of Crawfordsville, arrived on the Campania on Saturday. Col. Pierce succeeded General Bachelder, of New York, as Minister to Portugal. The charge was made that Mr. Pierce consumed more time in getting to Lisbon than he was allowed by the diplomatic regulations. Mr. Pierce denies this. To a New York Press reporter he said: "I was appointed by the President on the 6th of January. I was confirmed a few days later and qualified on either the 14th or 16th of January. A Minister is allowed to get ready, receive instructions, etc., and thirty days to reach his post, generally speaking. The latter allowance varies according to the destination of the Minister. In some cases it is more and in some less. I be lieve the time limit to London is only twenty days. If the Minister does not arrive at his post of duty within the time allowed by law his Balary stops. I sailed from New York on February 4, which was about ten days before the expiration of the thirty day limit. I reached Lisbon on March 8, one day behind the schedule. I forfeited, or lost, one day's pay, about $16. "Mr. Bayard was nearly three months in getting to London after his appointment as Ambassador, and he should have been there within fifty days from the time he took the oath of office. Mr. Eustis, the new Ambassador to France, was considerably behind time in arriving in Paris. I could name many other cases."

Mr. Pierce is an old newspaper man. He has been in poor health for some time and his stay in Lisbon did not help him as much as his friends had hoped. If his health will permit he will resume the editorship of the Minneapolis Tribune. Mr. Pierce was the managing editor of the Chicago InterOcean several years ago. One of his police court reporters at that time was H. C. Hansbrough. President Arthur appointed Pierce Governor of Dakota, and he subsequently was elected to tbe Senate when the Territory was divided and admitted into the Union. Hansbrough also went to Dakota at about the same time and, strange to say, he succeeded Pierce in the Senate, defeating him for re-election. In this case the police court reporter got the better of his managing editor.

Mrs. Marcus Mote.

Clara A. Mullen, daughter of James Mullen and wife, was born in Montgomery county, March 10th, 1845. She joined the Christian church under the preaching of Rev. W. T. Warbinton, August. 2, 1862, and has lived a devoted Christian ever since. On the 22nd of February, 1866, she was married to Marcus Mote, who with their children, all boys, are left to mourn her death. She was always very delicate and subjected to sickness and suffering the greater part of her life, which kept them in the house the greater part of their tiu-e and brought her nearer to her family, who were wholly devoted to her, and never tired of looking after her comfort and wishes. She will be sadly misstd. The home will be lonely, the cot and chair she so much occupied is vacant but she has only gone before to be ready to welcome them in the pearlv gates, and as she used to stand at the door or window watchiug their return if they Should away, so is she now looking and waiting their coming. She wac never known to speak in harsh tones. If she had to reprove the children or any one in any way it was always done in a mild, gentle tone, never allowing her temper to rise, if so, she kept quiet until she could speak in that gentle, quiet way which she always possessed. She departed thtte June 17, 1893, age 48 years, three months, seven days. "Sister, thou has gone before us,

And thy saintly soul has flown. From pain and death aud all suffering-, And sorrow Is unknown." Funeral services at the Christian church at Darlington, June 19, by Rev. F. P. Trotter, from Jeremiah 15, ix,"Her sun is gone down while it was yet day."

Walter's Obances.

A special from Washington, says: Walter F. Eulett, of Crawfordsville, has filed an application to be collector of interna! revenue for the Seventh district of Indiana. Here, too, the efforts of the Indiana Democrats to make removals are unsuccessful. There are before Mr. Cleveland at present the cases of seven collectors of internal revenue whose resignations have been demanded and secured, and there are at least six more who have not sent in their resignations. These thirteenlcases will be all disposed of by Mr. Cleveland before he takes up the Indiana oases. The Congressmen are therefore pouring their tales of woe into the hapless ears of Commissioner of Internal Revenue Miller. They are preferring all sorts of general oharges against tbe present incumbents, but are oarefully refraining from putting their charges on paper.

Ladoqa Wvddine

Quito a pretty home wedding occurred in Ladoga Wednesday noon. At the residence of Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Smith their daughter Miss Leah, was united in marriage to Merlin D. Shirley, a prominent young furniture dealer of Shoals, Ind. Those attending from Crawfordsville were Mr. and Mrs. J. W. McClamrock, Miss Funk andEd Ohaver.

CtE-NTLE ANNIE.

She Creates a Violent Disturbance on Market Street Wednesday Eveume Annie Oneil Kyle, who BO sweetly and coyly attempted self destruction Saturday afternoon by swallowing a dime's worth of morphine, has again come to the front. She spent Sunday, Monday and Tuesday in getting over the indisposition occasioned by the morphine feat and Wednesday Annie was herself again, which is Baying considerable, although, perhaps, it is not 6ayiug anything complimentary.

Along about the gloaming she wandered down to Inslev & DamaH's where reoreant Roland, her husband, is' employed in the capacity of chambermaid. The proprietors of the stable were sitting in front enjoying the evening's balmy breeze and their ten cent cigars. With them sat Bob Murray and a number of other young gentlemen disporting themselves in a like manner. When Annie appeared a respectful silence settled down upon the congregation and the blue emoke from the cigars rose heavenward in circles, in spirals and in clouds. Mr. Darnall crossed his legs uneasily and coughed in an expectant manner. Mr. Insley punched his nose reflectively and studiously examined the court house clock. Annie still stood before the group like Patience on a monument.* She was bathed in tearB but as it was tolerably plain that she hadn't been bathed in anything elfie recently the audience was not alarmed. Nor, indeed, was any fear expressed of her melting away under the gush of lachrymal iluid and floating down to the mouth of the Washington street sewer to join the brimming river. When tears and pretty looks failed to move the audience Annie tried loud profanity. She grew excited. Words flew from her lips like burning lava from old Vesuvius. She charged up and down the barn hunting Roland and throwing dust and Btraw in the air like an angry cow. She shouted, swore and endeavored to kick the stalls out. A reign of terror was inauguarated which prevailed until the police arrived and took the fairy tu the oooler. It was the most exciting diversion Market street has enjoyed for a coon's age and to pay for the sport Mayor Bandel gave Annie about twenty days in jail Thursday. She has made life a misery for Kyle during his married career and will doubtless continue to do so until he is fortunate enough to secure a divorce from the termagant.

Past Steppers at flew Ross. The people of Montgomery county are taking much pride in the development of the racing horse. At the New Ross fair grounds are some very fine steppers. Men sit for hours Sunday mornings talking horse and during the week are driving horses and altogether has developed much interest for fast horses in this community. Mr. Wilhite, of Ladoga, is working quite a number of good colts. Among them is Minnie R., pacing record 2:27 J, but now being trained for a trotter. She trotted a mile very easy Friday in 2:27^. Well as this was work day all tbe horses were work. He also has Orphan Alice 2:27J, and Jo Taylor, a pacer with a record of 2:23, snd "several other good celts. W. H. Gott also is driving some promising coifs. Ziglar paced a mile in 2:184 Friday, A1 Donnis paced a mile in 2:34, and he IIBS four other good colts, among them is Daisy, a winner.

Brown Bros, have Red Skin, record 2:3U, Royal Jim 2:41, Minnie 2:33£, aud two other hustlers.

Henry has Pocohontas Sam 2:27^, Burl Wilkes, Shrine and other good colts.

John Caldwell has a full brother of Poca Eagle 2:21^, which is very promising, and all are in fine working order and most of them will go on the Foarth. There are alreadv over twenty fast horses entered and several to hear from. The entries closed Wednesday. Wilbur Cooley, of Crawfordsville, a crack starter, has been secured and no one need fear a bad starter. The green pace and trot will be worth seeing. The free for all pace will be very fast as some merry skippers are entered.

in Operation.

The machinery of the Crawfordsville Pressed Brick Company began running Thursday morning. It will be run and examined thoroughly until Saturday when the work of making brick will begin in earnest. The factory employs twenty-five men at the start and the force will have to be increased when work is fairly under way. The first brick made will be used in the construction of permanent kilns. John Ferguson will be superintendent of the brick making. Large numbers have visited the place and all pronounce it complete and perfect.

Death of S. M. Haines.

A special from New Albany says: Jame9 M. Hams, aged seventy-five, died this morning at his home in this city. He was born and always resided here. He was a large stockholder in the New Albany National Bank, and had been president of the institution since 1865. His estate is valued at $100,000 He was a trustee of Wabash College at Crawfordsville, a position he had held for nearly twenty years.

NO OHEAPER RATES. I

No Prospect For Lower Fares on the Railroaas to Chicago. Notwithstanding the popular clamor for reduced railroad rates from the East to Chicago for the benefit, of persons desirous of attending the World's Fair, there is no immediate prospect of cheaper rates. As it is the railroad companies are pressed for engines and coaches to supply the unusual demand, and it is unreasonable to expect that they will make cheaper rates so long as their facilities are taxed to the utmort to accommodate patrons who do not seriously object to paying the existing scale of prices. Corporations are so peculiarly constituted that they are not perturbed because any considerable portion of the public is disposed to anathematize their methods, and we believe the understanding does not generally prevail that capitalists invest iu rail road properties especially for the benefit of their health. It may be truly said that the rush of visitors to the fair has as yet only begun, but even at the present cost of transportation, the passenger traffic on lines leading into Chicago is so heavy that all available rolling stock is taxed to its utmost capacity to accommodate the crowds. The rush of visitors to the fair during the mouths of September and October will be far in excess of what it is now and persons who have determined on attending the exposition should avoid the mistake of delaying until the closing weeks. The discomforts of the heated term are not pleasant to contemplate, much less to endure, but experience will determine that it is far better to risk the heat of midsummer than it is to take chances in the enormous crowds of the early autumn. So far as the railroad rates are concerned, there is no good reason for the belief that there will be any material reduction from the present schedules, except on occasions when cheap excursions are run, and nearlv everybody knows what that means—old and dirty cars, slow time and a miserable lack of accommodations. Nearly all the regular trains of the lines leading into Chicago are new, or practically new, vestibuled, and have sleeping and dining cars attaohed, affording all the comforts of home, but none of these desirable features are available on ordinary excursion trains, and a person who can afford to go to the fair under any circumstance, ought to feel able to go first clasB as well as fourth class, as the cost of transportation, especially from points in this immediate section of the country, is a small item in comparison with the aggregate cost of even a three or four days' visit at the fair.

The DePauw Year Book.

We have received the year book of DePauw University for 1893. It appears in a new and attractive form. The book contains 150 pages, and gives a full account of the work in the various departments. We note that there were in attendance in the College of Liberal Arts, 462 students the School of Theology, 100 School of Law, 151 School of Music, 248 School of Art, 54, and the Preparatory School, 398. After deducting all names counted more than once, there were more than a thousand students in the university. Of this number about 650 were in the college depart ments. There are ninety-nine graduates in all. The steady growth of the university is a source of gratification to all friends of liberal culture. The new year book will be sent to any one desiring it on application to President John, Greencastle', Ind.

Some Roaring:.

Several of the teachers in the city schools are indulging in a mild sort of strike for higher wages. It appears that some are receiving higher pay than others who teach the similar grades and do similar work. This is what causes the roar to be made. The trustees have adopted the system of raising a teacher's wages so much each year until a certain salary has been reached. Of course under this system the now teachers are not at present receiving quite eo much as the old and heDce the dissatis faction. The board, however, declares that it will not swerve from its policv and that if any teachers fail to sign the contracts that their place will be filled with others.

Epworth League Meeting.

Thursday at Cleveland, Ohio, be gan the great International Epworth League conference with an address of welcome by Governor McKinley, in behalf of Ohio, and the Mayor of Cleveland for the city. The conference holds Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, in the Music Hall of that city, and provision has been made for 15,000 delegates. The growth of this part of the church has been almost miraculous, having reached a membership of 700,000 in the short period of four years.

A DIRTY TRICK.

Two College Students Held CJp at Jamestown as llorse Thieves. Tuesday evening Scott McDonald ind Brax Carpenter left Crawfordsville in a surrey iutending to drivo through to Indianapolis by easy stages stopping all night at Jamestown.

They put up at the Jamestown hotel about 10 o'clock and were awakened in the morning by the town marshal who informed them that they were under arrest for stealing the horse and surrey they came in with. They had been arrested on an unofficial telegram from Crawfordsville signed Mart Johnston. This telegram was to the marshal of Jamestown and told him to hold up the two boys with the surrey. Ho proceeded to do so and although he did not put the boys in the lockup he paraded the streets to the edification of the entire populace which turned out enmasse. After a morning of work and trouble the boys cleared themselves and establishing their identity returned to Crawfordsville to try to find out who had played the mean joke on them.

The joke was anything but a joke and has a serious side. It was probably the work of some friend but its results placed the victims in a most unpleasant und disagreeable position and if they discover the man who sent the message they promise to make him sweat.

Held Up Again.

Scott McDonold and Brax Carpenter did not escape from their Jamestown escapade without another of a similar character. They left Jamestown Wednesday about 6:30 p. m. and arrived in Brownsburg about 9. Here they were held up again on suspicion by the town marshal and detained for two hours. The Brownsburg marshal olaimed to be aoting on advices received from Jamestown. After a lively skirmish and a great deal of hustling the boys proved their identity, were released and went on their way roaring with rage. Their experience in reaohing Indianapolis was a rough one, but has the virtue of being unique. In each instance the officers acted wholly without warrant in detaining them. It is safe to say that the boys were pretty sore when they reached the Capital city.

Dr. Kane on the Anarchists Pardon. A reporter visited Dr. Kane last even, ing at the Second Presbyterian churoh and a iked his opinion in regard to Governor Altgeld's pardoning the three anarchists. The announcement that the sotion had been taken very much surprised Dr. Kane, and he denounced it quite emphatically. He thought Buch action, turning loose on the people men convicted of such an atrocious crime, was an outrage, and that it looked as though the governor was catering to the anarchist element of the State, and did not believe that the sentiment of his party will sustain him. Dr. Kane thought that the people of the State should hold public indignation meetings and, regardless of party, denounce this action of the governor.—Dlooviington Pantograph.

The Oo-Eduoation of Races. The school trnstees are still considering the advisability of doing away with the Lincoln colored sohool and trying mixed schools for awhile. They are anxious, however, that the matter should be discussed thoroughly in the public prints and elsewhere in order that the final decision may be intelligent and attended with the greatest good to the greatest number.

When my little girl was one month old, she had a scab form on her face. It kept spread* ing until she was completely covered frott. head to foot. Then she had boils. She had forty on her head at one time, and more on her body. When six months old she did not weigh seven pounds, a pound and a half less than at birth. Then her skin started to dry up and got so bad she could not shut her eyes to sleep, but laid with them half open. About this time, at the earnest request of friends, I started using the CUTICURA REMEDIES, and in one month she was completely cured The doctor and drug bills were over one hut. dred dollars, the Cuticura bill was not more than five dollars. My child is now two years old, strong, healthy and large as any child of her age (see photo.) and it is all owing to CUTICURA. Yours with a Mother's Blessing,
