MAYOR'S PROCLAMATION.

Citizens Askcil to Join in the Appropriate Observance of Memorial Day.

To the Citizens of (*mirfonlsville: The 30th day of May is again approaching and with it comes the opportunity for the loyal citizens of our city to attest their appi-eeiation of our soldiers, living and dead, who stood for home and country in the hour of peril. These veterans are rapidly passing away. Year by year their ranks thinned and one by one they fall into the grave. But a few more years and they will all have passed away. The Grand Army of the Republic, unlike all ither organizations, have no recruits, jet us prove our regard for the living and keep fresh our memory of the heroes dead. Therefore we call upon our citizens to lay aside all business cares for a few hours on May the 30th and join with the G. A. R. in paying ibute to comrades, the Notion's dead.

FRED C. BANDEL, Mayor.

The Repertoire Company.

Monday night, May 28, the Mr. and Mrs. Robert Wayne company, under the management of Howard Wall, John A. Ilimmelein associate manager, will open a week's engagement at Music Hall. The play chosen for the opening is "A Strange Woman." It is a beautiful piece, full of pathos, comedy and sentiment. The plot is laid back in New England, and depicts-well how often rural simplicity is taken advantage of, and once happy homes made miserable. As for Mr. and Mrs. Wayne we need say nothing, as they won the favor of the visitors of Music Hall when seen here last season. The supporting company has nearly all been changed. Every person stands high in their line, making the show far stronger than ever before. Don't fail to attend the opening play. Seats on sale at Brown's drug store Saturday morning at o'clock. First come first served. Prices 10, 20 and 30 cents.

Big Attorney Fee ifor H. D. Vancleave. Ilenry D. Vancleave has just received a telegram from his co-counsel at Cincinnati that the jury the case of James R. Green, et. al. vs. Mary Woodsvvorth to set aside the will of Tho&. Newell, had just returned a verdict setting aside the will. This gives the heirs, of whom there are nine, §135,000 in real estate and bonds. James K. Greene resides in this county, and by the setting aside of Newell's will he gets $12,660, of which Mr. Vancleave had a contract for onehalf of the amount recovered, being 50,233, hence this handsome fee falls to Mr. Vancleave.

Memorial Day at Linden.

The exercises of Memorial Day will take place at Linden on Sunday, May 27, instead of Wednesday, May 30. This change is made for the convenience of those unable to attend on Wednesday. The sermon will be delivered in the forenoon of Sunday by Rev. Gott, and the decoration exercises in the afternoon.

OEAWFOEDSYILLE, INDIANA, FRIDAY, MAY 25, 1894—TWELYE PAGES PART FIRST

MIXERS AT ROSEDALE.

Cars os Coal Side-Tracked at ltosedaleCars Scoured from the Strikers by Strategy.

The

The Yandalia is having trouble with the striking miners at Uosedule. Last evening a freight arrived there from Terre Haute having four loads of coal in the train. The miners uncoupled the cars of coal and compelled the train crew to set the cars on the sidetrack. The train was then allowed to proceed. This morning- the way freight had orders to take on these four cars of coal, and carried out the instructions in a manner not upon the programme. As soon as the miners were aware of what was intended a shout went up and re-inforcements flocked from all directions to prevent the removal of the cars. But the en gine had been coupled to the cars and the trainmen seeing that it would be impossible to take the cars with the train, just pulled out with the cars for Rockville. At this point the cars were placed upon the side track, and securing re-inforcements the engineer returned to llosedale after the other cars. The strikers did not make any attempt to keep the freight cars from being removed, but gave notice that only coal for use of the company could be hauled through Rosedale.

DARLINGTON COMMENCEMENT.

An Occasion of Great Interest—Five Young Men and Two Young Ladies ltegin Life.

The third annual commencement of the Darlington public schools took place at the South Christian church Wednesday evening, May 23d, 1894, under the motto, "We Prepare for the Duties of Life." Promptly at 8 o'clock Prof. Smith entered the church, followed by the class, consisting of five young men and two young ladies, who immediately took their places on the rostrum. After music by the Ben llur Orchestra the Rev. J. G. Black invoked the divine blessing, then came the speeches and essays

Carl Cox, the youngest of the class spoke first, giving us "The Meaning of the Battle of Bunker Hill."

Editli Marshall then told of "America's Two Greatest Poets," choosing William Cullen Bryant and Henry W Longfellow as her ideals.

Grant Cave, "Compared the Minds of Clay and Webster." Austin Bowers told us of "Advan tages of the World's Fair to This and Other Countries."

John Woody explained "The Beau ties of Truth and Truthfulness." W. A. Flannigan told us

:tWliat

Con

stitutes True Greatness." Florence Boots explained to us "The Formative Influence of Literature," showing the difference between the good and the bad.

Daniel Lewis, Rev. Black and Rev. W orrall were chosen as judges, with instructions to give points on expression, delivery and thought and the one receiving the highest number to represent the town in the county contest in June. Miss Florence Boots received the highest and will represent us in the contest, while W. A. Flannigan reached second place. The speakers all did well and both teacher and class are to be congratulated on the work done. Prof. Smith, in his address to the class, gave them some valuable hints that they will do well to heed and profit by. Supt. Zook failed to get here and the professor presented the diplomas to the class.

An admittance fee of five cents was charged at the door and while the church was comfortably filled, it had the desired effect, that of avoiding the rush and crowd of a free entertainment.

The Ben llur Orchestra, led by Chris Schweitzer, was one of the features of the evening and received the plaudits of the entire crowd for their beautiful music, and the class can well say, "we gave the finest music ever in the town for commencement exercises."

On the evening of June 9 th the township commencement exercises will be held atCenter Grove church, some four miles southeast of here.

Double Birthday Celebration. There was a double birthday party Thursday noon at the home of Robert Beck, Wm. T. Beck, of Shandondale, being 52 years old, and Mrs. Nancy Ferguson, of this city, 75 years of age. The friends of these parties met together for the purpose of observing the same.

Plenty of ltoom.

The postoflice people are now able to turn around without knocking someone down. The money department is now in the rc -in at the north, connection between the rooms being made by a large door. It is now a model postoffice room in every respect.

THE PRESBYTERY

\ccepts the designation of licv. 1J. S. Inglis —The KCNOIIIIions of First Church —Itev. .lames Douglas

Ordained.

There was a special meeting of the Crawfordsville Presbytery Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Dr. J. F. Tattle presided as moderator and Rev. T. 11 ale acted as clerk. There was not large attendance from out of the city, Rev. Sherrard, of Roachville, being the only out-of-town minister present.

Kev. R. S. Inglis, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, offered his resignation, which was accepted.

The committee appointed at the congregational meeting, held after the regular service last Sunday, consisting of W. N. McCampbell, W. D. Harlow and II. F. King, reported the following:

Inasmuch as Rev. R. S. Inglis feels it his duty to resign the pastorate of First church to accept the call to a church which lie believes affords a wider field of usefulness, the congregation hereby expresses its warmest gratitude for the noble work performed here and wishes him God speed as he enters upon the duties of his new charge. In briefly reviewing the progress made by the church since Mr. Inglis became its pastor we feel that God has abundantly blessed us, in the many additions made to the church membership and its increased capacity for carrying on the work of the Master in every department of work. Although we greatly regret to see him leave us, yet we would not seek to thwart what seems to be the divine will, but unite with all good people in this city in commending him and his loving wife to the citizens of Jackson, Mich., and extend our congratulations to the Presbyterian church there in securing the services of so valuable and useful pastor. Be it therefore

Resolved, That First church expresses its thanks to Mr. and Mrs Inglis for their earnest and devoted labors here, and that they accept our kindly benedictions and well wishes for a continued blessing from God in their new field of labor.

The resolution was ordered to be spread on the minutes of the Presbytery.

The examination of James Douglas, a candidate for the ministry, was held and he answered all the questions satisfactorily. In the evening the ordination services occurred. Rev. A. A Pfansteihl, of La Fayette, was expected to preach, but a telegram was received from him, saying, owing to an acci dent to his eye, he would be unable to oome. So. the candidate, Mr. Douglas, himself delivered the sermon, which was a aoteworthy effort and received close attention. Rev. J. T. Hale read a scripttT selection and Rev. R. S Inglis offered the prayer. An anthem was sung by Center church choir. Dr Tuttle delivered the

A STEP ROME-WARD.

Til is Is the Way Dr. Cunningham Characterises the Action of the (Jeneral Assembly.

Dr. Cunningham, pastor of (.'enter church, is one of the few supporters of Dr. liriggs among the ministers of the Crawfordsville Presbytery. He is indignant at the action of the General Assembly in assuming control of the theological seminaries, and does not hesitate to express himself. Said he: 'This action of Uie Assembly is revoutionary. It is papistic in tendency, in fact, a step Rome-ward.' It seems that we are to have an infallible church to decide in advance how we shall think. It means that the millions of dollars of endowment belonging to the various seminaries is to be under the direction of the Assembly and that not a professor, nor even a trustee, is to be employed or elected without the approval of that body.

Instead of progressive leaders in the religious thought of the church the seminaries are to be harrassed and driven at the caprice of the Assembly. There will hardly be a split in the church but the result will be just the reverse of what the Assembly wanted. That is, there will be a growing independence on the part of ministers and individual churches and a decreasing respect for the action of the Assembly. The proportion of four to one in favor of this reactionary proposition surprises me and I cannot believe that this Assembly is representative of the church at large."
