WIND, RAIN AXD LIGHTNING.
They All Come Together and lMny llnvm: With Things About the County.
The most violent electrical storm of the season, accompanied by a high wind, occurred last Thursday and as a result much damage was done. The wind blew down a large number of fruit and shade trees over the city and county and the lightning also played a very vicious part.
While the storm was at its heiglitli a fire alarm was turned in from box 13 and before the department had been gone three minutes another alarm came in from box 12. They both announced the same fire, however. The barn of Mort Beckneron, west Wabash avenue, had been struck by a terrific bolt which instantly killed his horse and fired the building. Persons who saw the bolt strike state that the stable was all ablaze in two seconds thereafter. When the department arrived, which was very promptly, the building was too far gone to save. The department merely extinguished the blazing ruins and returned.
Reports of the storm's fury come from all directions. A number of trees were struck about the city and a telephone pole on east Market street was beautifully ripped.
The chimney of the residence of Mr. Douglas, near the iron bridge, was knocked to pieces and the house set on fire but the flames were quickly extinguished.
The father of Charley Hines, near Ladoga, had one valuable horse killed and another ruined by being struck by ligntning while standing under a tree.
AT NEW ROSS.
Special to The Journal. NEW Ross, Ind., May 18.—Last evening a storm of unusual proportions swept over this and surrounding country. The wind blew for about twenty minutes at the rate of 45 miles an hour. The rain fell in torrents and the ground seemed like a lake. Miles of fence were blown down. The fence of Broad Davis was all swept away and scattered over a twenty acre field. Sheds were blown down and the barn of O. M. Eddingfield was blown down. The timber and shade trees suffered very much. There were twenty-eight trees blown down. Vegetation was laid flat and the damage foots up in the thousands.
Dr. Gott Honored.
The State Homeopathic Medical Society met at Indianapolis last Friday and elected Dr. Gott, of this city, as President. The Indianapolis Journal says:
Dr. W. T. Gott, of Crawfordsville, the President-elect, this year's Vice-Presi-dent, is a courtly gentleman of the Southern style.
Speaking of another Crawfordsville physician the same paper says: Dr. J. N. Taylor, of Crawfordsville, followed with a long paper on "Sanitary Burial.'' The Doctor is a member of the State Board of Health, and recently its president, and largely for this season his paper commanded the attention it deserved.
Horse Insurance Adjusted.
Williamsport Ed Brewer, general agent for the Live Stock Insurance Co., of Crawfordsville. was here last week and adjusted the losses of Ezra McClaflin on his two stallions burned in the fire a short time before. On Claudius the insurance was 81.000 and on McLaren £5-100. making a total of SI.-100. The agent allowed the sum of s827.50. or a discount of $57:!.50. In conversation with Mr. McC. concerning- the matter he said he was well pleased, and, indeed, received more than he had expected to get, because of the decline in horses.
Joy For Teachers.
Some time ago .John Malsbury, a school teacher in Tippecanoe county, tanned the jacket of a refractory pupils and was promptly arrested and, after a trial before a bow-legged 'Squire was fined. The case went through the Circuit Court, also, against him and was appealed to the Supreme Court. The case was then reversed, Judge Lotz holding that "a school teacher may inflict reasonable corporal punishment upon a pupil for the infraction of a reasonable rule, without being criminally liable for assault and battery."
Teachers Examination ltesult. 1 he result of the teachers examination for April has been announced by Supt. Zuck. The fatality was as usual very great. There were fifty-seven took the examination and of this number thirty-four bit the dust. One two years' license was granted, eighteen for twelve months and four for six months.

DR. TUCKER'S VIEWS.
He Rpcafcs of Several Matters and Things Through the Columns of Ilia Taper.
Dr. Tucker's paper, which appeared last week, was interesting. The following area few selections:

water
vear.
The ex-
does not mean
The word "baptize" to immerse. No one lias ever been able to prove that Christ was immersed or that any individual spoken of in the New Testament. was immersed, or that the Bible teaches baptism by immersion.
Christ was not baptized in a pool. If people desire to follow the example of Christ, why not go to the river? Oh consistency!
Center church is talking about increasing the size of their audience room for the benefit of college commencements and special meetings.
Christ taught that Christians were to love each other. Does immersion cause them to hate each other and then say cruel things?
Why does the Methodist prayer meetings in Crawfordsville remind one of war times? Because there are so few men present.
Who hath sorrow, wlio hatli drowsiness? They that go to the dance, they that that tarry longest at the dance. Better keep away.
On Thursday afternoon Elder Howe met Rev. .J. G. Stephens on the street and said to him: "You must be careful about the statements you are making about baptism, for I shall expect you to be ready to prove your statements." or words to that effect. Rev Stevens replied: "All right, I stand ready to prove all I jhave said about baptism. More than this, I have §500 in the bank that I will give you if you can prove that Christ was immersed." Here is a chance for Elder Howe to get well paid for proving his broad assertions. He will be obliged now either to prove that Christ was immersed or to acknowledge that the doctrine of immersion rests on a human foundation. Of course the proof must be beyond a reasonable doubt before an unbiased jury.
Vory a Candidate.
The Washington correspondent of the Indianapolis News states thai, Vory Brookshire will undoubtedly be a candidate before the Democratic convention and says further:
The Eighth district is regarded here as one of the doubtful quantities in the next campaign in Indiana. Mr. Brookshire is young and aggressive, and although he has had John E.Lamb and Senator Voorhees to combatoin all matters of Federal patronage, he hopes to unite the Democracy of that district. The Republican candidate has not yet been named. Clay county has instructed her delegates for E. S. Holliday, ex-mayor of Brazil. This is the only county which has instructed thus far for the Republican convention.
At the beginning of the Fifty-third Congress Speaker Crisp appointed Mr. Brookshire, a member of the appropriations committee, one of the most important in the House. The honor came unsolicited and Mr. Brookshire has been a very faithful and efficient member. Speaker Crisp has shown his high personal regard for the Indiana Representative in numerous other ways. Lrookshiae presided over the House during the consideration of the tariff bill and is usually Speaker pro tern at Friday night sessions.
A Kongl) Ileal.
A case of alleged cruelty is reported from the we.it end winch will certainly bear investigation. Saturrday afternoon Stan field Jackson, a small colored lad. residing west of the campus with his widowed mother, was thrown from a wagon and had his hip bone broken besides sustaining other injuries. According to the story given out the cause of these injuries was heartless cruelty. It is claimed that the youngster climbed into an express wagon owned by the. celebrated Lindamood boys, and while the wagon was in motion, was pitched bodily out into the hard street. In falling he sustained the injuries mentioned.
The Lindamood boys claim that the lad was playfully thrown from the wagon, but such play is entirely too rough.
Dropped Head.
Special to The Journal. NKW Ross, May 18.—Yesterday evening the beautiful little mare Victress, of J. K. Henry's stables, fell dead on the track. She was four years old and could pace in 2:25. He drove her to the fair ground yesterday evening and was working her when she died. She was valued at $700. and there was no insurance. Mr. Henry has had very bad luck. Two years ago he lost about half a dozen and a little over a year ago Twister died suddenly. He still has a score of good colts.
It. H. F. l'eirce Klected General Manager. Stockholders of the Decatur &. Eastern Railway, formerly the Indianapolis, Decatur & Western 'Railway, met at Decatur yesterday and elected R. B. I".

THE ANTI-LIQUOR LEAGUE.
It* Kxecutlve Committor Meet* ami Deto Have ii Fourth of July Celebration—Dr. TueUer Kleetetl 1'reH-
Ulent —Sunday Closing to be Agitated.
At a meeting of the exective committee of the Montgomery County An-ti-Liquor League last evening it was voted to hold an old fashioned celebration, in which all the Sunday schools, temperance organizations, lodges, firemen, city council, business men of all the towns in the county, farmers and the ladies would be cordially invited to take part. The day will be honored by firing salutes, music and good speaking. Besides this the different Sunday schools will be asked to take part and furnish some chorus singing. The committee appointed to arrange for it were the following persons: D. W. Gerard, S. M. Coffman, Stephen A. 11. Beach, A. A. McCain, AV. J. Ilowe, N. C. McCay, Clias. W. Ross, L. A. Clark, O. M. Gregg, W. B. Lyle, J. C. Hutchinson. The committee will soon have plans arranged cand invitations sent out to all parts of the county. No doubt it will be the most profitable celebration Crawfordsville has had for a long time.
Also a motion was carried to secure an auxiliary organization in every town in the county and in as many of the school districts as possible, these organizations to work with the county Anti-Liquor League. Also these new organizations will be given a place in the Fourth of July celebration. To effect these organizations the following committee was appointed: Elder W. J. Howe, Rev. G. P. Fuson, Dr. J. Cunningham, Rev. John McDaniels, Dr. H. A. Tucker and Rev. T. J. Sliuey.
As President Burroughs was not able to continue longer as President of the League, on account of pressing busi ness for the college, his resignation was accepted and Dr. Tucker was elected President of the League.
Quite a number of the business men of the city have been complaining that they were obliged to open their stores on Sunday because others would open their places of business. They earn estly desired the League to aid tliem in securing an agreement from the business men to close on Sunday, so as to enable all to keep the day sacred, to give their clerks a rest and to allow themselves a much needed rest. The League determined to assist all it could and a committee was appointed who should have the matter in charge. The committee is: Rev. G. P. Fuson, T. E. Ballard, Stephen A. R. Beech, O. M. Gregg, W. B, Lyle, Geo. S. Durham and Mr. Wilson.
SUNDAY CLOSING.
There is little doubt but all the business men of the city will gladly enter into an agreement to close their places of business over Sunday. If all close it will be no detriment to any. Then there is a law that requires all to close, and business men who have financial interests to consider, cannot afford to set an example as violators of law. There is such a strong feeling in favor of Sunday closing that the committee expect but little trouble in getting all to enter into an agreement to close. Of course fruit stands, tobacco stores and drug stores have no more cause for being open than groceries and dry goods stores. So they will all be asked to enter the list of law abiding citizens with the other merchants. '1 hi ilk ol it and make up your minds to close. The conmritl.ee will call on you in a week or two.

A CHALLENGE.
Ilr. \V. ,T, llowe, of the Christian Church, Thrown Down the tilove to Dr. 11. A. Tucker of the Methodist Church.
MY BKOTHKK—In the llcrnhl of the nth inst., a paper that poses as the organ of the M. E. church of this city, iind supposed to be controlled by you, find no less than twelve paragraphs on the first page relating to baptism, all of which are misleading, or base misrepresentations of Bible truth, and of the teaching of the Christian church. cannot believe that you would wilfully misrepresent us, and hence I believe you to be ignorant alike, of the teaching of the Bible, and of the Christian church, on the matters at issue. The M. E. church holds, in common with all churches, many great Bible truths, but holds and practices many things not warranted by the word of God.
I therefore, in the spirit of brotherly kindness, challenge you to meet me in public debate, in this city, and allirm that,
The teachings of the creed and discipline. of the Methodist Episcopal church are in harmony with the teaching of the Bible, and I. will deny. And 1 will allirm that,
The teaching and piactice of tl.o church of which I am a member (the Christian church) are in harmony with the teaching of the Bible, and oyou deny.
Let the debate continue at least eight nights. Now, Bro. Tucker, it will not answer the demands of the public mind for you to reply that a debate .will do no good, when every issue of your little Methodist sheet contains invidious allusions to the ordinance of baptism, and the points of difference between us, are being discussed on every street corner. The Hero hi persistently misrepresents the views of all Christian people who practice immersion.
Bro. Tucker, the people of this cityare intelligent, and fair minded, and would like to have these matters publicly investigated.
Now, Doctor, meet the issue, or forever stop misrepresenting the teachings of the Bible, and the Christian church.
Yours for the truth as it is in Christ. W. J. HOWK.
The State Institutions Not Closed. Dr. John N. Taylor, who is a men?-" ber of the State Board of- Health, says that the charitable and penal institutions have not been closed, as was stated in THE JOURNAL'S special of last Saturday. He says no such order has been issued by the State Board of Health. The benevolent and penal institutions of the State have been ordered to receive no persons comingfrom infected localities without permits from the State Board of Health. 1 he warden of the Northern prison has been ordered to receive no visitors from Chicago. During the summer months excursion steamers ply between Chicago and Michigan City, bringing many visitors to the prison. The danger of conveying small pox by this means is very great, if from carelessness or inadvcrtance, on the part of officials charged with the execution of this order, small pox should breakout in any of these institutions, the loss to the state would prove very lie*!vy before the disorder could be stamped out.
Kesignalion Accepted.
Sunday morning the congregation of the First Presbyterian church held a congregational meeting. Dr. J. Tuttle presiding, to take action on the resignation of Rev. R. S. Inglis. The resignation was read and it expressed its author's regrets at leaving Crawfordsville but expressed a belief that duty called him to the field at Jackson, Mich. The resignation was regretfully accepted and Mrs. W. N. McCampbell, Horace King and W. D. Harlow were appointed to draft resolutions.
Next Sunday the congregation will hold another meeting for the purpose of electing a successor. Jt is very probable that Rev. E. II. Thomson will be called. His health has improved sufficiently to warrant his re-entering the work and the First church people are desirous of receiving his services.
Happily Wedded.
William E. Doss and Miss Annie M. Ivlopp were united in marriage Sunday, May at 8 p. m. at the residence of the officiating clergyman. Rev. no. M. Stafford. Mr. Doss is a worth young man and his bride an estimable young lady who for several years has made her home with James McClelland, who resides north of iCrawfordsville.
