S.

Meeohler. a well-known

resident of this city, died April rth lit 1 :.'!» o'clock, after several weeks' illness from lung and heart trouble, lie was a young man who had grown up among us. and was possessed of many ood (jualities of character and a linn- I ness of determination which carried success to all his efforts. The deceased was 2:i years of age and leaves a widowed mother, his father having died over twenty years ago. lie was a prominent candidate for State Geologist before the next Republican State convention, and had very bright prospects for securing the nomination.

Charles S. Heecliler was born in Crawfordsville November 5, 1890. lie attended the public scliojJs and at the age of fifteen entered Wabash College, lie devoted himself to a special study of zoology and botany under Professor Coulter. He became interested in lierpetology and made a collection of the reptiles of Indiana for the college at his own expense. Under the employment of Frank Springer, of New Mexico, he quarried into the crinoid beds, near Crawfordsville, for specimens. Later he was sent to Waldron, Shelby county, and to St. Paul, Decatur county, to do similar work. In the spring of 188U he discovered the crinoid beds along Indian creek, Montgomery county. Mr. Beecliler continued this work through 1800. In 1891, in addition to doing much work in Indiana, he made a trip to the Missouri river to study geology. In 1892 he spent the spring doing geological work in Kentucky. In the fall of 1893 he -w ent to Georgia to teach geology and to study with .1. W. Spencer, geologist of that State. The following area list of his publications: American Naturalist, December, 1887, "Crinoid Beds at Crawfordsville" December, 1888, "Keokuk Group at Crawfordsville, Ind." August, 18S9, "Notice of Some New and Remarkable Forms of Crinoidea From the Niagara and St. Paul, Decatur county, Ind." fifteenth geological report of Indiana reprint of list of fossils from Crawfordsville, Ind.

The funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock and were in charge of Rev. H. A. Tucker, assisted by Rev. R. J. Cunningham.

A Trustee of Coates College.

Hon. James A. Mount is a trustee of Coates CoUege. In regard to the talk of moving that institution to Crawfordsville he says that if Wabash has offered to accept the debt of Coates on condition that it leaves Terre Haute the offer will be accepted unless the people of Terre Haute raise money enough to pay the debt. Mr. Mount thinks, too, the people of Terre llaute will be spurred by recent events to subscribe this money. At the same time Mr. Mount believes that it would be a line thing to have Coates College here. It would consolidate the Presbyterian educational influences to the advantage of both colleges and solve the coeducation question in a manner satisfactory to all. Terre llaute already has one college for women, Saint Mary's, which is well established, liberally endowed and will always interfere more or less with the success of Coates. The standard at Coates is very high, the curriculum being identical with that of Vassal- and Wellesley.

Similar Cages.

In conversation with one of our physicians it was learned that the recent death of three persons in this city was due largely to heart trouble. This ailment was almost the same in each case, and was probably the result of the grip. The trouble was in each case a valvelar insufficiency and endocarditis, the valves not performing* their functions, and an inflammation of the inside lining of the heart. Ft is considered rather strange that in each case the persons were taken down with other troubles, which developed into this heart trouble, and caused death.

("on Cunningham Appointed. The Indianapolis Sentinel says that Con Cunningham has succeeded in securing an appointment. He is to be immigration inspector at Port Huron. Mich., and will receive SI.200 a year. Con was not weary in his fefforts to secure an appointment, and has beseeclied the faithful for over a year for some public place.

AMONG OUR CHURCHES.

llt'Mill of (lie Inion Meetings Being Manifested lly An 1 n«Tense in Rl cmbershi p.

That the visit of Uev. Ostrom to our city has resulted in a great number of conversions and increase in church membership is plain to be seen. Revival meetings that are conducted in the right spirit can but result in bringing sinners to see the error of their way. and subsequent conversion and uniting with some evangelical church. The recent series of union meetings were conducted in a friendly and Christian spirit, and now the churches are reaping the reward. The reports from the several churches show that 89 persons became members of the church Sunday, distributed among the different churches as follows:

FIKST I'ltKSHYTKRIAN.

Communion services in the morning. Forty-one persons united with this church, two by letter, four by re-conse-cration and thirty-five by profession of their faith, a great many being Sunday school scholars. Eighteen were baptised. The regular choir was augmented by a choir of Sunday school scholars. In the evening Rev. Prentiss preached.

METHODIST.

President Burroughs, of Wabash college, preached in the morning and Co. I attended in a body. In the evening Rev. J. G. Stephens occupied the pulpit. Thirty-three persons united with the church, twenty of them in the morning. Baptism will be administered next vSunday, and Rev. G. W. Switzer will preach.

President G. S. Burroughs preached Sunday morning. He spoke without notes. His sermon was very beneficial because it was simple and practical. He urged people to take up tho Christian life now. His encouragement to children was very much appreciated. What a man wanted was a motive to do right, then to do it without waiting for feeling. When a man acted from motive it would not be long until he had feeling enough to satisfy him. The large audience was greatly delighted as well as benefitted.

Rev. J. G. Stephens filled the pulp at the Methodist church in the evening. His subject was, "Christ the Foundation." He treated the subject with skill and at the same time made it impressive. His sermon was highly preciated by all who heard it.

ap-

Dr. Tucker did not preach on account of a severe cold."

•baptist.

Fourteen persons have united with this church since the close of the union meetings, and fiv? persons were bap tised Sunday night. Six persons united with the church on April 1. There was an unusual sight at the baptising from the fact that a little girl was immersed, it being generally supposed that this church did not believe in infant baptism. Rev. Fuson took the child in his arms and baptised her by immersion. The. girl is very small of her age. which is 11 years yet children 7 years of age have been baptised by Baptist ministers.

CKN'TUK.

No person united with Center church Sunday but an announcement was made that the session would meet those who may wish to unite with the church on Wednesday evening.

CHRISTIAN.

One person united with the church Sunday and there were, two baptisms at the evening service. Three persons united on Sunday, april 1, and one last Wednesday night.

The Jury Disagreed.

The jury in the Stephenson case against John W. Lucas, of New Market, could not agree as to whether Lucas was guilty, or not, of allowing Stephenson, a minor, play pool, without being convinced that he was of age. The speeches of the attorneys were very elaborate, and law books were brought forth in great numbers, authorities quoted, and decisions read in favor and against the parties.

Ilail Honor Tlirimt Upon llim. Ilarrie Pontious has received word that he has been appointed on the "National Committee on the Improvement of the Highways" of the League of American Wheelmen. The appointment was made by Chas. II. Luscomb, the President, and the members of the committee are prominent persons it,11 over the country. The committee has in charge the improvement of our roads.

An Orderly O. A. K. Kneampmeiit. Lafayette Courier: The work of the police force during the encampment deserves special mention. For the first time in the history of the city, perhaps, a big event has taken place in Lafayette without the swearing iu of a lot extra policemen. The force was not enlarged on this occasion and there could not have beenubetter order kept. Strange to say no burglaries have been reported, no serious rackets occurred, and there was but little fracturing of the law.

Lafayette Call: The good order and decorum of the encampment were most noteworthy, not to say surprising. With five or six thousand stran gers in the city, there was hardly an arrest, nor occasion for any. As the visitors were largely Grand Army men, the credit belongs to them. Lafayette has entertained many big crowds, but never abetter behaved one encamped within her bounds. The G. A. R. members have proved themselves again, if any further proof were needed, to be of our best citizens. All honor to the brave soldier who saved the country, and is still its bulwark, safeguard and defense!

Obituary.

Nina R. Boolier, daughter of A. W. and Mariam Boolier, died April 5th, 1894, aged 13 years, 2 months and 15 days. Nina possessed a gentle and lovable spirit. Her life was pure, her language was always chaste, and her words were those of kindness to all with whom she met.

She was bright iu her studies, very industrious in her books and stood at the head of her classes. She was chosen as a delegate from Iter department of the city schools of Crawfordsville to the Columbian Exposition and was a favorite of her teachers.

A light has gone out of the home and a farewell from parents' brothers anil sisiters, and friends. While the cloud of sorrow overshadows us. there is a light beyond, in the hope that our loved one hath gone to inhabit a mansion in our Father's house.

The funeral service was held at the Christian church at Darlington, conducted by Rev. F. P. Trotter. April (, 1894.

Brookshire Captures the Delegates. Mr. Krookshire seems to be having tilings his own way in securing delegates to the Democratic nominating convenion in spite of the opposition of the Swallowtail element of this county and the disappointed office seekers in ether counties. Last week in Clay county where it was claimed the miners would go against him he got every delegate but one and in the township where the strongest fight was made against him, the Hrookshire delegates received 218 votes to 17 votes for the. oppositions Well, the Republicans would as soon defeat Brookshire as any other Democrat next November.
