NORA MAHONEY.

A Crawfordsville Girl fatally Injured Cincinnati, On Sundaj at Cincinnati a motor car became unmanageable and ran over a mile finally crashing against a telephone pole. Several persona were Killed or fatally injured, among the latter being Miss Nora Mahoney, of this city. The girl is a sister of John Mahoney, who resides near the Monon station. She waB formerly in Bischof's store but for three years ptst has resided in Cincinnati. She was well known here. She was a pleasant girl and was well liked by all. The family received word last night that she could not possibly recover, her skull being terribly fractured.

Miss Mahoney is in the city hospital with no chance for recovery. The Commercial Gazette thus graphically describes the terrible accident:

A car became unmanageable at McGregor avenue, and after a wild flight of over a mile jumped the track at Broadway, crashed into a telephone pole and one passenger was killed, three fatally injured, and twenty-six otherB more or less seriously hurt.

Three minutes of mortal terror, whirling along through clouds of dust, in a runaway car at a speed that, at the finish is described as close to one hundred miles an hour, is an experience that will never be effaced from the memory of those who

New Suits Filed.

through its horrors and

will live to tell the tale. For more than a mile the runaway car, itself weighing several tons, with its load of precious freight shot with a velocity seldom attained in the most exditious railway traveling, and the wonder of all was that it kept the rails as long as it did. Down the steep grades the terrible specter shot past wide eyed and open mouthed pedestrians,and along the level grades it coasted, and then, a quarter ot a mile from the finish, took the plunge that could end only in death and destruction.

It struck the sharp curves in the road with jolts that huddled the passengers together in heaps, and even despite the efforts of the cool headed crew, who tried to throw it from the rails, it held to them with a pertinacity that surely was predetermined by^ fate.

On, on it wentfor about a mile, when a steep declivity iwas reached, and the plunge down this meant death. Down it went striking a huge spar and carrying it till the car struck the supporting pillar of the doorway of a brick house on the corner, and, although this pillar was of stone, twenty by twenty inches iD thickness, it was torn from its place and shivered to pieces.

But the occupants of the car, they who took that terrible ride, of them? Twenty were borne away to the hospitals in the swift and ever ready patrol wagons, and one poor thing, a little girl with a pretty face and long, dark hair, now matted with blood, was lifted tenderly to the stretchers and carried to the morgue. She was dead when taken from the wreck, and for several hours was unidentified. Of the others, several are so badly hurt that they cannot recover, while others, although they may regain health and strength, will carry the marks of their injuries to their dying day.

To Fight Green Smith's Decision. At a meeting of the county school superintendents and trustees, held at the office of the State superintendent at Indianapolis, September 5, 1893, it was agreed to resist the demand of the attorney general to return any part of our local tuition money to the oounty treasury. A committee consisting of Dr. L. E. Brown, of Thorntown, J. M. Sallins, of Lafayette, and E. L, Jessup were appointed to urge all trustees of the State to resist this demand and assist in the prosecution of any case that may arise.

FIFTEEN DOLLARS

pn His Inside Pocket, .but Not a Oent Did He Have Lett on Thursday Moraine:, Samuel M. Walter, an old veteran reBiding three miles south of New Richmond, arrived in Crawfordsville last Wednesday with his.two daughters from Indianapolis, where they had attended the encampment. Mr. Walter was robbed in the heart of the city last evening before 11 o'clock. He

waB

found by

THE JOTJBNAL sitting with his daughters by the Sherman House, and in response to an inquiry told the following story: "I got the girls a room at the hotel here and after they were fixed all right I concluded I would go out in the east end of town and spend the night with my step-brother, Jim Swank. Well, I started but when I got to that alley by Walkup & McFarland's barn a gang of five men who were standing in the mouth of the alley seized me and dragged me up the dark and narrow way about thirty feet. You bet 1 struck out with my fists and made a game old soldier fight, but it was no good. They were young and frisky and soon had me down and went through me. They took fifteen dollars which I had. I had no watch or other valuables. When they got what they wanted they let me go while they hustled off. I'm nearly dead to-day as J. got badly banged up about the body and arms in the fight. I don't know who the men were but belieye I could recognize at least two of them. This happened about half jrnst ten o'clock."

Love's Lament.

In the enchanted valleys of Cashmere and Sharon countless millions of the rarest and most beautiful of earth's fair flowers are born to blush unseen and waste their perfume on the desert air. So in the gardens of the human heart the* lilies of love and violets of tender thought too often blossom without our giving them expression. In the poor human heart there is a sad and pitiful waste of love.

Gentle reader, it's been just about that way with our esteemed fellow citizen, Ben Zachary. Ben's heart is full of love and noble sentiment. His soul swells like old ocean's tide with pure and holy love for Ida Alice, his fair wife. A sweeter creature ne'er drew breath than Ida Alice. Still, somehow, Ben has restrained the expression of his boundless, infinite and granite-Btrong love in a manner almost spartan. He hasn't wished to appear too affectionate so he has assumed a cold and haughty demeanor wholly aj variance with his lamb like 'Character. This demeanor has led Ida Alice to enter suit for divorce. "The loving word unspoken is a sin," says John Boyle O'Reilly. If, however, Ida Alice had merely to bank on a lack of outburst in Ben's great love she might get left at the trial. That sort of sin doesn't go for much before the oourt. Ida Alioe has other sins to speak of. Ben refrained from loving words but not from abusive profanity. He refrained from lingering kisses of youth and love bnt not from good hard blows with his fist. Its pretty rough when such things come out on a nice young chap like Ben Zachary but we reckon he will have to stand it.

Death of Pearle Stewart.

Pearl e, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. P. Stewart, died at their home Tuesday

Ht

5 p. m., after an illness of

nine weeks of typhoid fever. Three weeks after the attack her left side was paralyzed and though she was a great sufferer has at all times been extremely patient. During her illness she found that peace which passeth understanding and whioh was a strong support to her in her last hours. On account of her amiable disposition she was a general favorite among her young friends as well as in her own family who will all miss her bright face and pleasant greetings. Her age was fifteen Jyears and two months and she was the first of the children to die. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. Fuson at 9 o'clock a. in Thursday at the family residence, 801 east College street. Interment at Oak Hill.

Weather Crop Report.

The drouth continued over the greater portion of the State and sufficient showers to do good fell only over very few fields in the southern portion. The average temperature was below the normal with cool nights and not very warm days. Uninterrupted sunshine prevailed every day. Corn is turning yellow and the ears on late planted fields are still soft and undeveloped, and even should good rains come soon they would not improve the corn much in most localities. Vegetation looks dusty and withered and the leaves on the trees are browning and falling. Water is getting more scarce every day, and farmers commenced to feed their stock, as the pastures are ruined. Light frosts occurred in some few localities on Wednesday morning, doing no injury.

Keesee-Britton.

A pretty and enjoyable home wedding occurred Wednesday at the home of the bride, Miss Lucy A. Britton, on west Wabash avenue. The house was well filled with guests and at eight o'clock the bride and Edwin T. Keesee, the groom, appeared and were married by Rev. G. P. Fuson. After the ceremony congratulations were given and a pleasant social time enjoyed. The

newly

married couple will immediately go to housekeeping on west College street.

THE EIGHTEENTH BATTERY.

Reunion of a Famous Organization at Col. Lilly's. The following from the Indianapolis Suti will be read with peculiar interest in Crawfordsville:

One day Col. Eli Lilly, the man who presided over getting up this Encampment, saw a battery from Boston come on the parade ground at Fort Henry and its marvelous drilling so excited his onvy that he decided then and there to have as good battery as that from Boston, and, resigning his commission as Lieutenant of Infantry, came home to Indiana and told Gov. Morton he wanted a battery. So one day when Father Abraham called for more troops, Gov. Morton took Lieut. Lilly, then but 24, to the adjutant-general and said: Give this boy a commission." And thus Lilly's famous Eighteenth battery got its start. Gen. Thomas said of it afterwards that it was the best battery in the army of the Cumberland and the best that he had seen in the whole United States army. Nobody needs to be told what part it took on the field of Chicamauga. It fought 5G battles and Pat Murphy fired the first shot into Chattanooga. All these matters of history were recalled Wednesday morning when the battery met in a big tent at Col. Lilly's residence, 454 N. Tennessee street, grasped the hand of their commander and revived old memories. Grizzled old men, most of them, but they were all, with the exception of Wm. Krugg, of Crawfordsville, who died recently aged 80, mere striplings when the battery was mustered in, in August, 1862. Two of them were lads of 16, Emory Starr, now marshal of Greencasfle, who was color bearer, and Henry Campbell, of Crawfordsville, who was bugler. Both men were at the reunion. Col. Lilly's greeting as ne shook the hands of each man wasn't at all lacking in heartiness and more than once the tears welled to his eyes. "Hello- here's Frank Richfield!" he exclaimed If there was any man in the army tftat could get a hog it was Frank." Then Frank told how the oolonel met him one day and aBked him where he was going with that ax, and Frank said, "coon bunting," before he stopped to think that they were camped in a town where coons didn't grow but where hogs did. "And here's Hister, who sighted the first of the guns that sank the rebel boats off Chattanooga," continued the colonel, "the same

boatB

that were after­

wards raised and saved the army ot the Cumberland. Where'B Wasaon, the blacksmith? He could turn a mule with his feet in the air, get astraddle of him and shoe him quicker than any man in the army. And here's John Bain," added the oolonel," as he introduced a big man to Mrs. Lilly. "If we wanted a man to lift a cannon across a ditch John was always there to do it." And thus the greetings went on. A short, rugged looking man arrived with his wife and broke up the meeting about 10:30. "What, Hubbard?" shouted the colonel. Hubbard nodded. He couldn't truet himself to speak. The boys had lost all track of him all these years, but no sooner had .the colonel said "Hubbard" than they rushed for him and almost shook him limb from limb, while his proud wife sat apait and wept tears of sympathy. The oolonel made the boys an informal speech and then had to leave them to go away to a meeting of the executive committee, but he will meet them again Wednesday evening. Crawfordsville and Pendleton furnished large detachments to the battery. The roll call showed that only about sixty of the men are left. W. J. Wolfe was President Henry Campbell, 'vice-Presi-dent and W. J. Crouse, of Lafayette, secretary and treasurer.

A CHURCH WEDDING.

The Marriage of Frank M, Fox and Miss Manette Wolfe Consummated This Morning at Center Church.

A very beautiful wedding occurred at the Center Presbyterianohurch Thursday by whioh the fortunes and lives of Rev. Frank M. Fox, of Riceville, N. C., and Miss Manette Wolfe, of this city, were united.

The doors of the church were opened shortly before 10 o'clock and the audience were seated by MeBBrs. M. B. Binfojd, J. R. Hanna, A. A. McCain and J. A. Greene, who acted aa ushers for the occasion, being college classmates of the groom. At 10:30 oolockthe auditorium of the ohurch was well filled with the friends of the contracting couple, and the audienoe was a large and fashionable one. The music varied from the tieual form and was of a most beautiful and impressive character. As the bridal party entered the wedding march from Lohengrin, "Faithful and True," was faultlessly and exquisitely rendered by an ootette of ladies composed of Mesdames C. L. Thomas and R. S. Inglis, Misses Maude Cowan, Ora Moffett, Margaret Morgan, Mary Campbell, Edna Dice and Fannie Binford. Mrs. A. B. Anderson accompanied on the organ. The officiating olergymen, Dr. J. F. Tuttle and Dr. Ii. J. Cunningham, entered from the door west of the altar and awaited the contracting couple and attendants who came down the aisles from the main entrances. From the west door came the ushers in couples followed by the groom, while the bridesmaids, Misses Katherine Campbell, Maude MoM'echan, Jessie Lee and Elizabeth Riatine passed down similarly from the east door followed by the bride. Arrived at the altar the ushers took their places on the west side facing east and the bridesmaids on the east faoing the west. The bride and groom stepped between and stood directly in front of the altar, faoing the olergymen. The service was performed by Dr. Tuttle in his usual impressive style, the organist continuing the music of the wedding maroh in a subdued manner during the ceremony. After prayer by Dr. Cunningham, the Lord's prayer was chanted by the ohoir and after the benediction the bridal party retired to the music of the Mendelssohn wedding march, the ushers escorting the bridesmaidB and following the bride and groom. The bride was gowned in an exquisite costume of white Persian lawn, with white satin ribbons and carri bouquet of bride's roses and maiden feme. The bridesmaids were attire becoming gowns of white organdy with pink ribbons and carried pink roses.

Mr. and Mrs. Fox were driven at once to the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Mary Wolfe, on north Grant avenue, where a wedding dinner was served, at whioh was present only the immediate family. At twelve thirty o'clock they left for Chicago where they will spend several days, proceeding to Cincinnati where they will visit relatives some time before leaving for their future home at Riceville, N. C. The bride was the recipient of many verj beautiful and useful presents from numerous friends.

The wedding of Thursday was the consummation of a courtship of several years and is a most happy one in all particulars. Mr. Fox graduated from Wabash College in the class of '89 and from McCormick Theological Seminary in the cla3s of '92 and is a young minister of exceptional ability and promise. He takes with him as his wife one of the most lovely and estimable young ladies of Crawfordsville. THB JOURNAL with the many other friends of Mr. and Mrs. Fox takes pleasure in wishing them long lives of usefulness, happiness and prosperity.

Bill's Good intentions.

We doubt not that the intentions of Mister William Batcher toward Hannah, the wife of his bosom, have always been of the most noble and exalted character. We are told, however, that Hell is paved with good intentions. We are pretty certain in

Baying

hiB

that the good inten­

tions of William would pave the streets around the largest brimstone emporium in that tropical and eternal city where Williams's disembodied spirit will likely arrive when the house of this earthly tabernacle has been dissolved. Hannah has filed a blood curdling suit for divorce against Billy boy and alleges that while his intentions were doubtless good and holy that his actions were quite the reverse. He has lost no oooasion, since 1885 when a bald headed old squire with a red nose pronounced them man and wife, to maltreat and abuse her. He has cursed and kioked her with a regularity whioh if exeroised in proper channels would have won him lasting honor for punctuality in business. He has also obliged her to rustle for the metal to provide herself and children with clothes. William iB evidently not the sort of a fellow to be at the head of a family and the court should see to it that

throne is abdicated.
