A HOME WEDDING.

The Marriage of Dr. 0. fl. Joues and Mrs. Mmnia Inslay Consummated Oct- 5. A very pretty home wedding occurred Thursday at the residence of the bnda's mother, Mrs. Pauline Epperson, of south Water street, the contracting parties being Dr. Oliver H. Jones and Mrs. Minnie Insley. The residence hud been very handsomely decorated for the happy occasion und plunts and cut flowers were profusely displayed through out the rooms. Tne ceremony occurred at 8 o'clock promptly and at that hour between thirty and forty invited guests assembled in the south parlor of the residence where the ceremony took place. The Lohengrin wedding march was played by Miss Josie Stilwell and to this the bride and groom entered by the south door and proceeded across the room to the mantel which had been heavily banked with beautiful plants and bright flowers. They here faced the guests and the officiating clergyman, Dr. H. A. Tucker, of the Methodist churoh. The ceremony was from the ritual of the M. E. church and was performed in a beautifully impressive manner. The bride, an exceedingly pretty lady, was attired in an exquisite gown of yellow corded silk, trimmed with lace and without train. She carried bride's roses. Immediately upon the conclusion of the wedding Bervice the company adjourned to the dining room, which was most tastefully and artistically adorned the bride's table being a masterpiece of the decorative art. An elaborate collation was served after which the parties repaired to the parlors where congratulations and best wishes were extended to Doctor and Mrs. Jones.

Tha presents to t£e bride were both numerous and costly. It was one of the handsomest displays of the kind seen here sor some time.

The newly married couple left Friday for New York where they will remain some time, Dr. Jones taking lectures at the hospitals. A large circle of friends nnite in wishing them all joy. Dr. Jones is one of Crawfordsville's most worthy oitizens and leading praoticioners while the lady he has won for bis wife is both beautiful and accomplished.

Conflicting Testimony.

Judge Hadley, of Danville, who witnessed the Wesner-Brown tragedy, stated the other day that he expected to hear much conflicting testimony when the case was called for trial. When asked his reacons for thinking so he eaid that he had talked with nearly all of the persons who witnessed the tragedy and no two related the same version of the affair. Mr. Hadley thinks Fred Winters will probably be the most important during the trial. He represents Mr. Winter as standing almost exactly between the two men when Brown fired the fatal shots. It is said that many friends of Wetner will testify that Brown shot before tne deceased drew his knife. Judge Hadley has been informed that Mr. Winter will contradict these state ments and sav on the witness stand that the ugly looking weapon of Wesner's was visible before Brown discharged his revolver.

A Baby Caused a Spat.

During the speech of A. B. Anderson in making his statement to the jury of the Kennedy case, a baby kept crying and Mr. Anderson, turning to Judge Harney, remarked that "the noise was very disagreeable to him, whatever it was making it." Judge Snyder, an attorney for the State in the same case, remarked that he was astonished that a married man did not know the cry of a baby. Mr. Anderson replied that he bad not got further along than the Judge, and it was ridiculous for an old bachelor to be pretending to know the 6quawk of a baby from any other noise. .Everybody laughed, Judge Harney frowned, the sheriff pounded for order, and Mr. Anderson continued his speech with a peaceful smile OD his face.

Death of Peter Clarsson.

Peter Clarkson, aged 50 years, died Thursday afternoon at his home, three miles west of New Richmond. The fuoccurred on Friday at 3 o'clock, p. m. from the Methodist church of New Richmond, under auspices of the K. of P.'s, conducted by Rev. M. H. Appleby.

Mr. Clarkson was a good citizen and his loss will be keenly felt in the community. He served through the war in the 116th Indiana Volunteers and was a brave soldier. He leaves a wife and five children to mourn hie loss.

The Mistake of Mrs. Moneymaker. Mr. and Mrs. Mouey maker area very estimable couple who live on Indiana avenue hard by the renowned precincts of Goose Nibble. Mr. and Mrs. Moneymaker are variously blensed, chiefly, however, with children. Tuesday an alarm was turned in at the police station to the effect that a valuable young female Moneymaker had been stolen. The alarm came in by telephone and Marshal Brothers heavily armed went charging out to Indiana avenue. Great excitement had prevailed there but it had largely subsided by the time of the worthy marshal's arrival. The missing child had been found behind the door of the Moneymaker mansion. It appears that excellent Mrs. Moneymaker had uttered a material squall for tne youngster during the morning and that it failed to give its wonted response. Mrs. Moneymaker just then observed a farm wagon disappearing in the distance and at once drew the very sage and reasonable conclusion that the occupants of that wagon had stolen her darling. Accordingly the alarm was sent in. The neighbors were aroused and one of these was just volunteering the services of a hound pup to track the rascals down when the missing beauty was discovered behind the door demurely sucking her big toe. Mrs. Moneymaker's children are doubtless very precious to her and would doubtless prove a rare and valuable prize to any person fortunate enough to steal one. Still, however, "there are others" and when so many can be had for the asking it is hardly reasonable to infer that a man will incur the penalty of petit larceny even for the possession of a juvenile Moneymaker.

Was Acquitted.

At Rockville, after being out eighteen hours the jury in the murder case of Moses Swaim, charged with killing Gabriel Bryant in a wheat field last July, returned a verdict of acquittal. The theory of the defense was that Bryant was accidentally killed during a fight between the brothers, Moses and Lafayette Swaim, who have been at outs for the past seven years, during which time there had been many encounters between them. The last fight occurred over some wheat which was on Moses' land, but which Lafayette claimed and was attempting to harvest when the tragedy occurred. The brother, Lafayette, was at the same time dangerously wounded and it was thought for Bome time he, too, would die. In a general way the verdict ia well received, some enthusiasts applauding when the verdict was announced, which demonstration was promptly squelched by Judge While with threats of fines. Sympathy for the defendant, who has undoubtedly been badly treated by his brother, doubtless influenced the jury. Moses Swaim is still held under an indictment charging him with an attempt to kill his brother, Lafayette, at the same time Bryant was killed.

Ward Gets it in the Week.

The arguments for a new trial in the case of Ward F. H. Burrows, who stole and cashed at Logansport a $50 check belonging to A. Leroy Piser, were continued at some length Friday afternoon in the circuit court. At the conclusion of the pleading Judge Snyder overruled the plaintiff's motion and askid the graceful and accomplished Ward to please stand up. When Ward had complied with the request of the court he was asked if he had any to say why sentence should not be passed upon him. Ward straightened up and looking squarely at the court said in measured tones: "No sir, I have nothing at all to say."

Ward scarcely expected a new trial and so was not very greatly disappointed. "I shall grin and bear it," Baid he, "and I didn't expect anything else. Of course I should have been highly gratified and pleased for another opportunity to establish my innocency, but I am prepared to acoept the inevitable with the best possible grace. The prospect of two years in prison stripes is hardly a subject for pleasureable contemplation, I assure you, but I have great faith in the action of the Supreme Court, which I understand is a body of very considerable capability."

bucolic Bruisers.

On Saturday CharleB McGuire and son, Edward, were brought before the high Tribunal of Mayor Bandel charged with mellowing the soft and peachy countenence of one Ed Cook with their hard and horny fists. The Mayor heard the Evidence full sedately and then declared Charles as guiltless as a lamb under the protection of the glorious old McKinley bill. Into Edward, however, he cast the hooks to the tune of $11.35. Edward appealed to the circuit court and he and father McGuire at once had Cook arrested for beating their faces. Mr. Cook was found guilty and fined, much to his chagrin and annoyance.

Death of George Robinson,

George Robinson, the well known colored hod carrier, died Monday at his home west of the college campus at the advanced age of about 80 years. He had consumption and his family having died before him he was attended during hie last illness b? Joe Smith. The funeral occurred Tueuday from the A. M. E. church, interment at Oak Hill. The services were in charge of the colored Odd Fellows, of which body the deceased was a member.

Prof. OhaDman's Entertainment. It was one of Crawfordsville's most critical audiences that greeted Prof. James M. Ohupman JFndav Light at Center church, it being the occasion of his first appearance in Crnwfordsville and in fact, the West. Alter a short, introduction by the President of Wabash College, Dr. Burroughs, Prof Chapman arose and read his first selection. "Preparing for the Christmas Dinner." It was received well and so was each succeeding number, the applause being such in several cases that io might easily have been construed as an encore. Prof. Chapman, however, responded but once, after the long continued applause which succeeded his rendition of "How Ruby Played." The programme was quite varied and showed the wide range of Prof. Chapman's elocutionary powers The most remarkable of them is his voice, resonant as a bell and under perfect control. His facial expression, too, is most telling in his character sketches Altogether the entertainment wus most enjoyable and nothing but favorable criticism has been heard concerning the

Y. M, 0. A Prevaricators. The Terre Haute Y. M. C. A. football team, which appeared here on last Saturday, was sent home badly battered up in every respect except in its propensity to lie. The report of the gurne which appeared in the Terre Haute Express is so outrageously at variance with the facts that it ought not to pass without notice. In the first place the Y. M. C. A. people credit themselves with a touchdown, when it is a fact that during the game they were never near enough to the Wabash line to even claim one, and never dreamed of such a thing.

It is stated that the Wabash players singled out the good men on the Y. M. C. A. team and deliberately set to work to cripple them, a large picture representing a dozen or so men piled in a heap is labeled "Scrimmage when Jami was hurt." Secretary Jamison was not hurt in a scrimmage at all. He was running with the ball and was tackled by John Fry, being hurt then. No one else was near at the time. The whole report is one of the most glaring lies in the history of football aud reflects no credit on Secretary Jamison,of the Teire Haute Y. M. C. A., and those good and exemplary young men who went down with him in ignominious defeat la&t Saturday.

Mr. Hulett'B Opinion.

Walter Hulett is rattier inclined to take stock in the reported recommenda tion of Jadge Jump mentioned in THE JOURNAL'S editorial column to day. states that his own cause has weakened greatly during the month by the fact that Jnmp'p friend, Senator Voorhees, has such pres tige with the President through his being chairman of the Senate finance committee. It is known that Voorhees has been daily importuning the President to recommend Jump aud Mr. Hulett fears that he may have finally succeeded. If the recommendation is not made until after the silver question is settled Mr. Hulett is sure of an ap pointment. If it is made before Mr. Jump will probably receive the plum.

PKOF. JAMES M. CHAPMAN.

Surface, of New Market, on the night of the 15th of last May. The rig was traced to lively stable at Haughville, where thd actions of the man who accompanied the rig, caused suspicion and finally his arrest, This man was Wm. Richardson, who |up to this time bore a g- od reputation at New Market. He eaid that C. W. Kennedy, of New Mar-

ket, mentioned the stealing to him and promised to meet him at Indianapolis,

where they would seil the stolen prop-

bo"d Wm. L. Surface was the first witness and the owner of the stolen horse and buggy. lie lold about his barn and the manuer in which the thieves had obtained entrance to the barn. He had gone out to feed and found the horse and buggy gone. He in company with others traced the stolen property as far as the Greencastle road.

Wm. Childers testified to accompanying Wm. Surface and Mr. Brown in tracing the wagon tracks. It was noticed that the horse had been driven fast, except when passing houses, and at one point where some person had passed the team. Ttie road did not show that there had been any other vehicle along there that mo:ning.

Frank P. Brown also testified to the same as Messrs. Surface and Childers. The turn out of the road had been made to the right 150 feet beyond the Rush gate. Had known the defendant, and had had a conversation with him about two weeks ago. Kennedy told him that he expected to prove by witness and Mr. Childers that he did not get out of the buggy at the Rush gate.

On cross-examination he held to this story. Had talked with Joe Wright Vancleave on the day the horse was missed, but don't remember having sa to him that tbe horse hud gone at a rapid until until the Greencustle road was reached.

Wm. Richardson, the man first arrested, was then called. Lived here on May 15. Went to see his parents at New Market often. Folks lived there two years, and previous to this 2 miles north of Ladoga. I am a farmer and have known Kennedy over a year met him frequently at New Market. Met him Tuesday evening of the week before horse was stolt n, at Sanson's store, in New Market. Went from this store to Glovor & Wray'a store and also in other stores. Started to bis father's home with Kennedy did not stop until Kennedy's gate was reached. Kennedy mentioned taking the Surface horse, but he did not want to do it. He finally agreed to do it, and Kennedy told hiai not to come down on train, as when the horse was missed he might be suspected. Left for Crawfordsville Thurs day morning, returned Monday night of next week. Left Crawfordsville near 9 o'clock. Walked to New Market on Vandal ia railway. Met two trains on

the way, one a mile this side of New Market. Went first to Childer's null, then to the Surface barn. Mr. Surface was there then, it being near 11 o'clock. Here he met Kennedy,who said: "Hello, you got here, did you?" He got the horse and witness the buggy and harness and they both hitched up. Both then got into the buggy and Kennedy rode past the Hush gate, whore the buggy was turned out, in order to let Kennedy get out. Kennedy when he got out instructed him to go to Haughville, and after selling the property, to meet him at the court house in Indianapolis, where they would divide the money. Threatened to kill hitu if he informed on him. Reached Haughville at 10 next morning and was arrested at 10 o'olock that night. Witness then told about putting the horse up and that he and Mr. Kennedy had always been friends.

On cross examination he said that he had borrowed SI of Kennedy and on the night he proposed to do the stealing he had paid him 75 cents. Saw Kennedy the Wednesday aftet the Tuesday night, going along the road. Not a word had passed between them from the time he proposed to do the stealing until they met to Bteal the horse and buggy. Never had walked to New Market since his arrest, because he had been in jail ever since. Left Crawfordsville after it had struck nine Btarted from in front of Galey's ealoon was in there hunting Ab Jones found him on the street talked with him and then started for New Market. Kennedy was standing on the south Bide of the Surface barn. Kennedy told him to get the buggy and harness, and we would hitch up. Witness got in first, went east, thence south, thence east, thence north to the road, and tenn east. Stopped eaet of Til Rush's house. Here he drove out of road, so Kennedy should get out, and Kennedy told him how to get to Indianapolis, and what to do there. If he got pinched and told on him, would get killed. Did not make any attempt to sell the horse and buggy at Haughville, where he remained until arrested. Kennedy had arranged to meet him "next day" at the Indianapolis court house. Understood this as meaning Wednesday

Never went to the court house at Indianapolis to meet Kennedy, because of being arrested. Intended to try and Bell the horse after he had rested up a day. After being arrested was locked up in Btation house and brought to Crawfordsville on Thursday, Told when arrested that the horse had been bought at Jamestown. Wilders, Chil ders and Goff came after him and identified the horse. Do not think I told these men that no person except myself was in the stealing. First told his father on Friday about Kennedy being a party to the theft. Stayed at Mr. Hunt's, in Crawfordsville, from the night Kennedy paoposed the theft to the time he left to do the stealing. Drove through here on going to Indianapolis. Kennedy told him the night the

proposition was made to do the B°ealing

and Riohardson. Saw the latter in Crawfordsville the Saturday before

the stealing was done. (Objeotion was made to what inquiry Richardson mada about the whereabouta of Kennedy that day, and objection sustained.)

The attorneys then talked "all at one time" and explained the two sideB of the case, but the Judge held his ruling, but promised to look into the matter further, The State expected to prove that Richardson had told witness that he desired to see Kennedy because they had scheme on hands and expected to get Bome money from Kennedy.

Dr. Chas. Waluron.—Knew Chas.Kennedy, living in adjoining property. Had a conversation with Kennedy next morning, about 8 o'clook, after the horse was taken.

John J. Brothers, Crawfordsville Marshal.—Had conversation with Kennedy the day he wus put in jail here, and he wanted to see Richardson. Kennedy urged to see Richardson, saying that he was well acquainted with him, and thought that if he could see him he could find out if any one was with him and that he might get him to plead guilty and get off with a light sentence.

Henry H. Swindler.—Had a con versa tion with Kennedy the day after the horse was taken. Kennedy eaid that he bet 810 he could get the horse if his carfare was paid.
