EXUITIM RUNAWAY.

Two Ladies and a Baby Injured By a Runaway Horse. Tuesday Mrs. Moreland B. Binford and her infant daughter, Sue, accompanied by Mrs. Will Ramey, of Chicago, were driving in a buggy on Washington street. At the corner of Washington and Wabaeh avenue the horse Bhowtd an inclination to turn west, and when urged to continue Bouth began to kick and plunge in a vicious and wicked manner. Several bystanders Btarted toward the bridle, but the then aroueed animal suddenly leaped forward and ran at full speed west on Wabash avenue. The ladies had no control over him and seeing that a smashup was inevitable Mrs. Barney took little Sue and letting her down almost to the Ground between the wheels let go of her. The baby was scarcely hurt at all by the fall of a foot or two and was picked up out of the dust by the family of Joe Taylor, in front of whose residence she fell* When in front of the residence of Will White, opposite the Christian church, the horse ran into the gutter, and the buggy, striking a tree, collapsed. Both ladies were thrown under the ruins, from which they were taken by the excited crowd which quickly collected and were taken into Mr. White's residence. Drs. Keegan and Ensminger were hastly summoned and gave the necessary medical assistance. Both ladies were terribly bruised aDd shaken and prostrated by the excitement. Mrs. Barney's worst injury was a badly sprained wrist, while Mrs. Binford had be.n given a vicious kick on the hip by the horse. Mrs. Binford, who suffered greatly from her hurts, was carried home on a stretcher. Both ladies are reported better and are not hurt seriously. It will be sometime, however, before either of them recovers from the effects of the accident. The dropping of little Sue Binford from the buggy was a happy thought, as eh* would have undoubtedly been badly injured if not killed in the smashup. As it was the outcome of the accident was exceedingly fortunate. The horse was recently purchased by Mr. Binford and had never before ex hibited a single bad trait.

Surprised the Dear Boy.

Willie Abney got gay a few days since and after an animated chase of the can succeeded in effecting the capture of about as joyous a jag as has been recorded since the day that old man Noah fell from grace and got on a high lonesome with the aid of antediluvian grape juice. He WHS locked up in the castle of Sheriff Bible and Marshal Brothers having been informed by a little bird that Willie was wanted in Boone county wrote Sheriff Taylor that he could have him if be were worth a trip through the boundless bogs which infest our sister county.

Sheriff Taylor tied some mosquito bar over his head and hands, pulled on his high gum boots and waded through the ewamps and slushes to the high ground of Montgomery county. He arrived here Tuesday and took Willie away with him. Willie is wanted at Lebanon to answer to the distinguished and agreeable charge of arson. Sheriff Taylor dind't say but wo reckon he set fire to some of the town's historical nsdur tiees.

Lyda's Longing:.

The course of true love never did run smooth. We have always heard it and now we know it. Mrs. Lyda Starke has been on that course for twenty-one years and has found it the most abominable stream in the world. It's full of eddies, rocks and whirlpool rapids and Lyda is just about ready to disembark and will do so if Judge Harney will gallantly lend her his arm. She married Bill Starke back in '71 and he has proved a brute and tyrant ever since. He swore at her, starved her, choked her and threatened by the assistance of his knife to relieve her of the trouble of carrying her intestines about with her. Lyda wants a divorce and is rather anxious to have it in a hurry

INDIANA WOMEN MAY VOTE.

According' to a Supreme Court Decision, Which Affects Other States Also. The Supreme Court of Indiana has recently made a decision that may be far reaching in its ultimate results. June 14 this court placed on record that women can be admitted to the practice of law in the courts of the State, says an Indianapolis correspondent to the Chicago News Record. The ruling came in a test case, an appeal from Greene county. Mrs. Antoinette B. Leach was refused a license in the court below because she was not a voter. The lower court cited in support of the refusal a clause of the State constitution which sayB: "Every person of good moral character, being a voter, shall be entitled to practice law in all the courts of justice."

The Supreme Court also quotes this clause, but it adds that while the constitution specifies that voters will be admitted, it does not say that women shall not be the ruling of the court below, therefore, was not affirmed and women have gained a signal victory thereby.

Let it be remembered, that unlike any other State, Indiana has a constitutional instead of a statutory provision for admission to the bar.

Article 2, seotion 84 of the constitution of Indiana says: "In all elections not otherwise provided for by this constitution every male citizen of the age of 21 years or upward shall be entitled to vote," etc.

Section 8 furthermore declares that the general assembly Bhall have power to deprive of the right of suffrage and to render illegal any person convicted of an infamous crime.

Taking the decision of the Supreme Court for our guide inasmuch as the oonstitut'on says a male may vote, but does not say that a female may not vote, it is plainly a violation of the law in Indiana to deprive women of the privilege of voting.

Also as the general assembly has not declared all Indiana women guilty of infamous crime, therefore ineligible to suffrage, and as women are "persons" and citizens in the general and legal acceptation of the term, women mav legally vote in this State.

If this decision is good law in Indiana it must be throughout the nation. In this single Supreme Court decision may rest the key that will unlock the bar to national woman suffrage.

The Incarceration of Isaac.

Ikey Rlelutoeli is the son of a prominent coal dealer of Brf-.zil and last winter his good old nurse put a clean handkerchief iu his pocket, kissed Lim tenderly on either cheek and gave him a cookie. Ttien his pa took him to the railway million and checked him to Crawfordsville to enter Wabash College. When little Ikey got here he proved a model eclidlur and fairly knocked the hind light lights out of Cicero, Xenophen, and other South Hall celebrities, while Pn.f Kritz squirmed and chortled with delirious joy. Ikey was such a prodigious student that he hated to go heme when commencement day had gone. So he stayed behind near the fountain of learning and has passed his evenings in the campus chewing the knowledge soaked bark off the trees around South Hall. He has passed his days in th* billiard halls about town. Wednesday the police arrested him on a message from the Brazil ohief of police and Ikey is in the cooler now. He will stay there until his loving pa comes to take him home, wi

The Indiana (Jollectorship.

A special to the Indianapolis Journal from Washington, Bays: "It is expected that the nominations of Indiana's two collectors of internal revenue will go to the Semite within a few days, among the first nominations made by the Prpsr ident. Representative Braoksbir* is confident that that Joshua Jump, of Terre Haute, will not get the plaoe in that district, and that it will go to Mr Hulett, of Crawfordsville. It seems pretty well settled that Capt William Braoken, of Brookville, will get the other oollectorship.

A BAD CASE.

Arrest of Ward Burrows on the Charge of Grand Larceny. Along about last commencement time A. Leroy Piser, the well known student, had stolen from his room at the residence of Mrs. Crawford, on south Green street, a letter from his father in Shoshone, N. Y. The letter contained a draft for $50. Piser never saw the letter and never knew that it had been sent until a subsequent letter from his father apprised hiin of the fact that it had been sent. Investigation at both ends of the line proved that the letter had certainly been received by some one here who had opened it, extracted the draft, and had it cashed at a Logansport bank. The Logansport bank people did not know the young man who presented the draft for payment, so he sent a telegram Bigned "A Leroy Piser" to the senior Piser at Shoshone asking him to acknowledge the draft. It was acknowledged and the money duly paid over. This ended chapter one, and when A. Leroy had comprehended it in all its juicy entirety he took off his tennis cap and double bi-focal glasses and proceeded to scratch his head. He was endeavoring to reach a conclusion as to whom the young gentleman could be who impersonated him in so praisworthy a manner at the Logansport bank. He thought the matter over carefully and reviewed the character and actions of all the young gentlemen who fiequented his room and who could have had accesB to his mail. He drew several very pretty diagrams and after a satisfactory geometrical demonstration he conoluded that Ward Burrows was the guilty man and gently murmuring "quod erat demonstrandum," he lighted two cigarettes and atrolllng down town hunted up a lawyer. Judge Thomas made a trip to Logansort and made a thorough investigation of the matter there. He thought the facts warranted the arrest of Mr. Burrows.

Mr. Burrows is a young gentleman who came to Crawfordsville several months ago from New York State, and after casting about for a while begun to study law with a well known firm. He is a tall, athletic young man, good looking and of pleasing address. He mingled in good society and went about town with Piser and the select coterie which worshipped at the shrine of the man from Shoshone. He staid around Piser's room a great deal and was always a welcome guest there. On June 23 or 24 he left Crawfordsville for Chicago and has been there ever since. He constantly met people from Crawfordsville and most of the time put up at the Arlington Hotel, where most Crawfordsville people make their headquarters while attending the Fair. He made no effort to conceal himself, and if he committed the crime alleged, he evidently thought himself completely Becure from detection.

The affidavit was sworn out by Piser some two or three weeks ago and requisition papers obtained from the Governor of Illinois. Last week Mayor Bandel and Marshal Brothers went to Chicago to find Burrows but returned Sunday, not having been able to find him, he having left the Arlington for some other hotel just before they arrived. They left the matter in the hands of the Chicago pclice, and Wednesday morning received a telegram stating that Mr. Burrows was there awaiting their pleas

Marshal Brothers boarded the noon train and in the morning on the early train returned handcuffed to Burrows, who was locked up in the jail,

A JOUKNAL reporter called on him Thursday and conversed with him inthe outside corridor, where he was brought by the accommodating sheriff. A sympathetic greeting and a few questions brought the following statement irom the young man: "It is no less embarrassing for me to bd here than for you to see me here I assure you," he said in his low, well

voice. "The whole thing

modulated has taken me so by surprise and is so ridiculous withal that I have not yet realized its true import. I never us much as dreamed of such a thing us 1 am charged of until Marshal Brothers toid me last night for the first time. When arrested the police would tell me nothing vhuteyer, and from Tuesday evening until last evening I WHS iu curcerated ignorant of the ohHrge against me. I should think my verv actions alone woulu demonstrate rnv innocence to any clear headed person. I left Crawfordsville openly on June '24, Derby day, and went straight to Chica go by the way of Benton Harbor and the lake. I had intended to go with a drummer friend on the 23rd but failed to get off. When I got to Chicago I went to the Niagara and put up over Sunday, then out to the Arlington,where all the Crawfordsville people stopped. I met some of them every day and talked with them, making no effort at concealment. In fact, I was talking with Judge Harney when the police arrested me. I had been assisting a friend of mine in the Canadian exhibit and was going to the theater with him Tuesday night. I left his side to talk to Judge Harney and you know the rest, The charge ie entirely false and without warrant and 1 fail to understand it. I shall waive a preliminary examination as such things are mere farces anyhow, and withhold my line of of defense. I shall give bond and be released. Crune & Anderson will probably be my attorneys."

Mayor Bandel placed the bond Ht $500 and thus far it has not been fu

ished. It is stated by the police that they have evidence that Mr. Burrows left here on June 23rd, instead of June 24th as he claims. Mr. Piser left Monday tor Shoshone, N. Y., and will probably not return until the time of the trial. There are number of interesting detuils which will come up then which will doubtless prove edifying to the community at large.

A Mid-Summer Wedding.

An interesting social event occurred Wednesday evening at the beautiful country home of Mr. and Mrs. James M. Booe, six miles south of Veedersburg, where relatives and intimate friends to the number of fifty had assembled to witness the marriage of their only daughter, Margaret E., to Mr. Frank B. May, of Arlington, Ky. The house and grounds were brilliantly illuminated, while the interior of the house was profusely decorated with smilax, ivy and potted plants. Promptly at 7:30 Mendelsohn's wedding march was sounded by Mrs. Marshal Nye and the bridal couple entered the parlors. They were preceded by the attendants Miss Elsie Adams, of Danville, Ills., and O. D. Humphrey of this city. Taking their station under a bower of vines, the contracting parties were made husband and wife, by the Rev. Omer Huffard, of Middleton, in a brief impressive ceremony. The bride was handsomely costumed in a gowd of white silk and lace, with full sleeves and Bhort skirt. She carried a bouquet of bride's roses. Miss Adams were a dress of cream silk and laoe, with roses. Immediately after the ceremony the bride and groom led the way to the dining room where elegant refreshments were served. Then returning to the parlors they received the congratulations of the guests. The newly married couple were the recipients of many beautiful and useful presents and begin their wedded life very auspiciously. The bride is a favorite in a large circle and esteemed for her many womanly qualities. The groom is well known in this city, being a nephew of Dr. W. L. May, and a graduate of Wabaeh college, claBs of '88. After a few days spent in seeing the World's Fair Mr. and Mrs. May will be at home to their friends at Arlington, Ky., where the groom is superintendent of the schools. Those present from this city were Mrs. Dr. W. L. May, John A. Booe and family, Mrs. M. M. Nye and son Bob, Miss Ora Moffett, Chas. Bourn and Will HeBBler.

Tried to ConvertEd Vons.

There was a gentleman at the Lahr house last night who has some decided views on the financial condition of the-, country at present. He is the director of a national bank and has been connected with an extensive bond-buying firm in Chicago for years. He visited Europe last year and, being a stalwart Republican, was anxious to secure a malleable Democrat for a companion. His choice fell on Ed Yoris, of Crawfordsville, a member of the Lafayette gun club, a Democrat of long standing and, withal, one of his most highly prized friends. When London was reached the gentleman piloted Edward down to Picadilly court and pointed out to him the vast army of scarlet women who daily promenade there. Then he took him to the immense clothing establishment conducted by Hope and pointed out sewing girls who made $1.25 a week when they had all the work they could do. Voris was next escorted into the establishment and convinced that he could leave hisorder for asuitof clothes in the morning and get the garments in the evening for 88.50, no extra charge fer the promptness in delivery. Then they went to Paris and to Berlin and to

Vienna, the protectionist pointing out overy fenture of free trade toEd and making his own comments, until they finally landed in Italy. There Edward was shown the scale of wages paid marble cutters and other laborers und was shown what the laboring classes eat, and was then conducted to Mt. Vesuvius and permitted to peep into its crater, all the time guarded by an extraj platoon of police to keep the brigands Ht harmless distance. When they were crossing the Atlantic Ed confessed he hrd been carrying a free trade beam in bis eye, but he would remove it. now and labor earnestly in the cause of protection. But when be reached the Hoosier Athens he found a scarcity of good timber for the postollice and concluded to sacrifice himself for the good of hie party, the good old Jeffersonian Democratic party, and now bis friend gazes at him sadly and has vowed never again to attempt to convert a Democrat.—Lafayette Journal.
