Mrs. Thompson Was Surprised. A real bona lide surprise party is as enjoyable as it is rare. Mrs. Maggie Thompson, wife of John Thompson, v'lio lives on the John Nutt farm, four miles west of town, was surely surprised last Friday. The forty-five guests who had assembled in her house, while her husband took her to town, could see genuine surprise in every feature as she entered the door.

And

what a dinner!

One man who was there reports that he counted eleven different kinds of pie and thirteen different kinds of cake, and then got bewildered and stopped counting. After the repast the guests, who came from Yountsville, New Richmond, Crawfordsville and Canada, Mrs. Andrew McMaken being from the latter place, had a fine time until 5 o'clock, listening to the jokes and storieB of John Nutt and Jim McCormick. Frank Jamison's matrimonial prospects were also discussed. Mrs. Thompson received several handsome presents, it being the occasion of her birthday.

Turn Him Loose.

It ought to be pretty evident to the mind of Prosecutor Moffett and to the American Express company as well, by this time, that a jury can't be found in Montgomery county that will convict Ed Brown. The county has already been taxed for two very expensive trials in this case and for the board of this promising young gentleman for the last four months. People are getting tired of hearing of the eternal Ed Brown case and more tired still of being taxed to keep it fresh in the public mind. What are you going to do about it, Mr, Moffett

WIGWAM DEDICATED.

The Red Men, Their Wives aud friends Eujoy a Reception. Another of our secret orders now has lodge room of which we are all proud. It is with pleasure that this announcement is ni'ide, because it shown that our secret, orders are in a prosperous condition, both as to the membership and in financial way.

Scioto Tribe, No. 100, Red Men, was instituted in this city on March 18, 1890, and has heretofore held its meetings in the Odd Fellows' hall, on Washington street. Now they occupy a hall of their own in the new Crawford block, on Green street. The hall is situated on the third floor, and is furnished in elegant style, with high back chairs, stands, desk-tables, grates, mirrors and rostrums. The floor is of hard wood and can be utilized for dancing purposes as well ae for lodge pow-wows. The room is beautifully lighted with an electric chandelier, and the ante rooms are larg.^ enongh for all practiil purposes. In short, it is a model hall, with all modern conveniences.

Tuesday the room was dedicated, so to speak, and was thrown open for the purpose of being "at home" to the wiveB and friends of this tribe of Red Men. The room was very beautifully and uniquely trimmed for the reception. Around the upper edge of the hali was a row of corn shucks, and there were treeB placed back of the rostrums. In one there was a live owl and in another was a stuffed wildcat. A stuffed fox was neatly arranged as if asleep in a shock of fodder near which were a number of pumpkins, making it look like a day in a cornfield when "the frost is on the pumpkin and the fodder's in the shock." In the large back room there were several booths, where coffee, ice cream, eto, were served out to the hungry and thirsty. Just above the entrance to these eating booths was a stuffed eagle with the American flag beside him, as if be considered himself its protector, and he seemed intent on keeping a lookout for the red man "paddling his own canoe," which was suspended from the chandelier. Dancing was also upon the programme and to the time of the Music Hall orchestra, the merry step of the dancers was kept up until early morn. The entire affair was a success, and long may our Red

Men live mnong us in prosperity and peace.

Two Special Juries.

The jury commissioners have drawn a special venire to select two juries to try the cases for damages growing out of the death of Wm. Hipes and his daugh ter, who were killed by a Vandalia train last summer at the Danville road cross ing. The men from which will be selected a jurv to try the case of Mrs. Catharine Hipes vs. I. & T. H. Railroad Company are W. Q. O'Neal 1, W. T. Glenn, N. G. Kessler, W. G. Miles, Jos. Stubbins, Ambrose Remley, J. A. Armentrout., R. N. Oldshue, Jas. N. Sanders, E. T. McCray, Geo. Bayless, J. C.

Disagreed Again.

The jury in the case of Edward Brown, the alleged express robber, has disagreed. The jury stood half and half and each part was determined to hold out, therefore no conclusion could be reached. At one timeeeven of the jurymen favored Brown. The idea of hie being a tramp waB against him more than anything else. This is now the second disagreement of a jury in cases against Brown and it is a possibility that the matter will be dismissed.

Frank McCalip has again bought out the interest of his partner, Will Armstrong, in the Y. M. C. A. barber shop. Mr. Armstrong will remain at his chair, however, for the present. Mr. McCalip proposes to push things and has many plans for making his alrendy popular place still more worth of public putronage.

QUIET AT HONOLULU.

LIL 13 STILL A DETHRONED DEBASED QUEEN. .....

AND

No Material Ohange In The Situation— Tlio Provisional Government Still on Top.

Special to The Journal. SAN FIIANOISOO, NOV. '23.—The steamer Alameda, from Honolulu, arrived this morning. She brings news that all was quiet on the Islands and that there was no material change in the situation. No attempt "had been made to restore the Queen.

An Outrageous Proceeding.

There were a large number of ill-bred people at Mu&ic Hall Tuesday. It was very easy to distinguish them from the well-bred persons. The ill-bred ones all began to put on their rubbers and wraps about two minutes before the curtain went down on the last act. About one minute before, they all arose in their seats, put on their overcoats and hats and began to puBh their way out. A stranger would have thought they would miss a train or else had some very pressing business outside which would not admit a delay of sixty seoonds. But we of Crawfordsville who have seen this ridiculous and outrage ous performance every night there is an entertainment at Music Hall know that no such emergencies cause it. These people, as soon as they get out of the hall, have plenty of time. Some of them, indeed, are so lavish of that, which a moment before they were so anxious to save, that they actually stand around the entrance and block the way of those who stayed in until the per formance was over. Now, perhaps, these ill-bred people don't realize it, but it is true, nevertheless, that their actions are an insult both to the well-bread part of the audience and the actors on the stage. They are as numerous on the first floor as in the balcony and equally as pernicious in both places. They

Bhould remember that the final picture in a play is always a beautiful one and the last words are as interesting as any. We do hope for the sake of those who want to see the play to the very end and for the sake of Crawfordsville's reputation that the audience hereafter will leave nil of its bad manners at home. If not the management of the house should take some method of suppressing the uuisance.

Snap Judgment.

Another deal has been made in the Nutt House affairs. Bv agreement between S. S. Burrows, the former proprietor, and Wm. Nutt, concerning the mortgage on the hotel furniture held by Mr. Nutt, judgment was confessed for $207 50. Mr. Burrows at once gave Mr. Nutt a check for the amonnt, and is now moving out all the furniture from the hotel. This is being stored in vacant rooms or sold. There are two rooms which Mr. Burroughs will not disturb for the praeent. These are to be reserved for Mrs. Winn until she is able to go away. Everything else is being removed, from the garret to the cellar.

The New Block.

Ramsey Sr. Somerville are beseiged by applicants for the rooms in the new block on Mnin and Green streets. The third floor has been let to the Odd Fellows, and the Indiana Live Stock Insurance Company has engaged the east side of the second story. There are numerous applicants for the busires? rooms on the first floor. Several of the applicants are from the city and others from elsewhere. The office rooms on the second floor and the business rooms are yet to let.

Death of Thomas Robinson. Thomas Robinson died Tuesday at the home of his son, Geo. E. Robinson, on south Washington street. About two weeks ago Mr. Robinson took a severe cold and this developed ink) the grip, causing death. The funeral was held at 12:30 o'clock a. m. Thursday at the residence, and the remains were taken to Greencastle for interment.

Thomas Robinson was born in Shelby county, Kentucky, on Nov. 11, 1811. In 1854 he was married to Miss Eliza Ann Talbott, and two years later they came to Indiana, settling at Greencastle. They resided there until the death of Mrs. Robinson in 1881, when Mr. Robinson came to this city to live with bis son. Mr. Robinson was a member of the first board of trustees of Asbury (DePauw-) University, and served as Secretary for a number of years. While residing in this city he has made many friends, who will be surprised and grieved to learn of his death.

Mr. and Mrs. Werkoff left at 6 o'olock for Lafayette, via Colfax, whe^e the groom is employed by Wallace Bros., plumbers.

A DEMOCRATIC SENSATION.

Senators Voorhees and Turpie Denounce Hoke Smith anu His Methods. Special to The Journal.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 23.—At the Democratic gathering to-day Senators Voorhees aud Turpie created a sensation by denouncing Hoke Smith and his pension methods. Mr. Voorhees said that leath was thinning out the pension roll fast enough without the aid of government officials and spies. He denounced the policy of high salaried ofiicials being employed as ferrits for Hoke Smith. Senator Turpie followed aud endorsed all that Senator Voerhees had

Baid

and went

still further on the pension question, by saying that no pensioners should b« suspended till he had had a full hearing. Isaac P. Gray was not at the meeting. He disappeared from the city last Monday.

A POTTERY PLANT.

A Ohanoe for Orawfordsville to Secure a Manufacturing Establishment, E. E. Spencer, gentleman of large experience in the pottery business, is in the city and has made an examination of some of our valuable clays. He pronounces them equal, if not superior to any clays in the country for the purpose of making line pottery. He was employed by the World's Fair Commissioners of Kentucky to investigate the different clays, and it is conceded that he is an expert in his business. Now is the time to show enterprise in seouring the establishment of a Pottery Company that will pay large dividends as well as furnish employment to many laborers. To show that he means business he makes the following proposition:

This is a proposed organization by E. E. Spenoer who is an artist of high repute in the manufacture of all grades of pottery, inoluding ifrt pottery, enameled briok, eto. He proposes to locate a plant for the manufacture of the same in or near the oity of Crawfordsville, Indiana, and use the materials in clays abounding in this country, and foreign clays adapted to his use. Mr. Spencer agrees that as soon as $5,000 stock has been subscribed in good faith by responsible parties to place the subscription books in the hand of one of the stockholders to collect as per agreement, and begin the erection of a plunt immediately. AB the business of enameling is traditional, he also agrees to take any party that the stockholders may agree to, and teach him this art, so that the company may not be entirely dependent upon him. He also agrees to furnish sales for all the stock thut can be made at Baid plant, at a large profit. He also agrees to remain with the company for a term not less than five years und give it his beBt efforts, and energies, under the financial management of the stockholders or directors, or both, as they may provide. He also agrees to perform his said duties, as the mechanic of the company, for the sum of one thousand dollars per year. It iB further agreed thut the said subscribers may pay for the said stock subscribed as follows: 25 per cent. when, the full amount of $5,000 has been subscribed 25 per cent, in 30 days from said time, and 25 per cent.dn 60 days from said time, and it is further provided and agreed that the remaining 25 per cecC may be paid from dividends accruing" to the credit of Baid stockholders. As a further consideration of good laith the said E. E. Spencer agrees to give a bond in the sum of one thousand dollars for the faithful performance of his said duties to the organization.

Landlord MoOoy,

The Nutt House ie in a peculiar condition. Landlord Winn has given it up and proprietor Nutt will not receive. So there it hangs between the two with J. H. McCoy in charge. He offered his keys to Mr. Nutt, but the latter with a knowing smile declined them. The cook with one porter are staying with Mr. McCoy and a few guests get lodging but no meals are served. Mrs. Winn is still there and ie improving some, but not enough to be moved.
