Very Knthugiastic Meeting—Unanimous Sentiment to Uphold Those in Au­

thority, mid Enforce Laws.

Pursuant to a call issued by Gen. Lew Wallace, a large number of persons assembled at the Y. M. C. A. armory last Saturday evening to talk over the condition of our country and discuss the feasibilit3' of forming a military company. Those present talked among themselves concerning the anarchical element that had taken advantage of Debs' sweeping order "to strike everywhere," and had set aside all law, respect for Government authority and was destroying property and de fiantly interfering with all manner of •ailroad business. There was but one sentiment expressed and that was that those in authority must be upheld in the enforcement of laws, and if necessary force must be used to disperse mobs.

Gen. Lew Wallace called the meeting to order and in a brief, pointed address stated the situation and purport of the gathering. He said, in substance, that as all present were readers of the papers and were fully aware of the condition of our country and the time had come for all good and patriotic citizens to organize and take a stand on the side of law and good government. When it comes to upholding law and preserving peace in our land, there is no question of politics in it, as all good citizens are desirous of preserving our country free from anarchy, that now is hanging over the land like a black cloud of destruction. The great railroad avenues of commerce are blocked and we all in common are dependent upon them for our daily needs. There now seemed to be in this land an organization strong enough to block every railway system in the land and cause all law and authority to be disregarded. The time was at hand to be on the safe side and prepare for any emergency that may arise. The call was not for banding together to fight citizens of our country, but to be ready to respond to the "rally 'round the flag, boys," to suppress rebellion in any shape.

Gen. Wallace said that the plan was to reorganize the old Montgomery Guards into Co. A, and they would do home duty. Then to organize Co. of men between the ages of IS and 26, and this company was to be subject to all demands of the civil authorities,— county, State or National.

It is also proposed to organize Co. of lads between 15 and 18 years of age, who would be drilled and would be ready to fill vacancies in Co. B. Those who ioined Co. Band belonged to Co. I were told that their first duty would be to Co. I as long as they were members thereof.

CO. A—OLD MONTGOMERY GUARDS. The first call was for the members of the old Montgomery Guards." As Dr. S. L. Ensminger called the roll, those present responded and repaired to one side of the room. The twentyseven present were as follows: Gen. Lew Wallace G. W. Lamb C. M. Travis J. W, Clemson H. H. Ristine J.H.Watson S. L. Ensminger W. P. Herron T. E. Nolan Ed Voris M.J.Carroll A.S.Miller C. W. Wright Harmon Ilutton J. M. Schultz G. M. Vance F. L. Snyder ,J. J. Insley J. R. Robinson Henry Wasson J. F. McGilliard O'Neal Watson C. N. Williams Chas. Galey Henry Campbell Chas. Goltra

Nat Vance

After the roll call Gen. Wallace made a few remarks to them and further business was in their hands. They appointed Dr. S. L. Ensminger, J. W. Clemson and Chas. M. Travis as a committee to see other members of the guards and to report at the next meeting, Monday evening in the small court room.

CO. B—TIIE MOW AUXILIARY. After some further remarks by Gen. Lew Wallace, a call was made for recruits for Co. B, and this was responded to by thirty-six young men who subscribed their names under the following declaration:

The undersigned citizens of Crawfordsville desirous of forming and organizing Co. B, of the Montgomery Guards and fully intending to uniform, drill and submit ourselves to discipline with a view to making ready to answer calls of the constituted authori-

ties of tli roll: Will Eltzroth Harry Patterson O. U. l'errin Clyde Morris Cluis. C. Benson Chas. Wray Fred Doherty II. C. MeCluer Geo. Cole Rial Benjamin Fred Alexander Albert Galev

The services of these organizations may not be required in the present emergency, but the fact that they exist

(will

have au educational and a

healthful influence in creating public sentiment in favor of law and order. For this -reason they are a necessity. This being true the young men who sacrifice ease and comfort and become members, with all that the word implies, should not be expected to bear all the burdens including the expenses necessarily attached to military companies. The citizen who has property which may call for protection should be willing to assist not only with his sympathy and encouragement but with his money. It is enough that these men should be asked to give their time to say nothing of the hardships that they may be called upon to endure. They must be uniformed, armed and equipped. All this will cost money. The City Council should buy their uniforms, and the County Commissioners should furnish the arms, while the citizens by a liberal subscription should supply them with the means to procure other necessary equipments.

MILITARY' FLASHES.

The colored men of the city will also be given a chance to show their loyalty.

One old soldier was heard to remark that the Saturday night meeting brought back to memory "the days of

"01."

Co. will be uniformed. Subscriptions will be made up to get uniforms for members who are not able to procure them. I

Grant Agnew, a United States deputy, is at Garrett, holding forth against the strikers. He has 200 women to contend with there who are determined that the men shall strike.

On Saturday Gen. Lew Wallace sent the following telegram to Governor Matthews: Tf, in your praiseworthy intention to keep the peace by enforcing the laws, you see I can be of service to you, please consider me at your orders." The Governor responded and thanked the General for his offer.

Governor Matthews says: "It is not a fight upon labor and the workingmen it is a struggle against lawlessness, violeQCC and anarchy. No interest is suffering sd itfvkili fit this stage of the trouble as that of OrgdnJKfed labor. I am ready to aid the federal government with our militia when tlitt necessity may arise."

Train Derailed On the Monon. The Monon midnight train going south had a queer mishap at Lafayette last Saturday night. It had slipped out of Chicago all right, but was delayed four hours at Lafayette. At the Ninth street crossing it encountered a stub switch that had evidently been turned, for it swung the rapidly moving locomotive and cars onto a sidetrack. Then to a target switch on the side track guided the train again upon the main liue, with the exception of the two sleeping cars, which were derailed, and required considerable labor to again place on the track. On the main line, near the switch that turned the train, there was a broken rail, and ground space for a rail's length instead of iron. The passengers aboard the train were badly frightened but only one person suffered injury, Chas. Laing, of Lafayette, a young man who was riding on the platforrc. in front of the mail car and who jumped when the train made the swing, leaping right into the target switch.

Two Girls Fought.

On last Saturday night Stella Hackney and Olla Layne came to blows on the street over a young man who both claimed was "my fellow." Words, arms and hair filled the air until the police arrived and gathered them into the jail. They were both charged with assault and battery and this morning the Hackney girl pleaded guilty and was fined 81 and this with costs amounted to §11.35. Olla Layne denied being guilty, and will stand trial to-morrow at 2 p. m.

Gravel Koad Kxpenses.

To maintain the fr^e gravel roads Montgomery county last year paid the sum of §18,9(30.18. The free gravel roads cost money but they pay in the long run.

Albert Hunter, a Youth of Twenty, Kiids Jlis xi»l'H i' lli'riiusi' of Domestic Troubles.

Many people in this city and county will remember the llunter outfit which created such a sensation here a couple of years ago. Old man llunter, the father of several half-grown boys, married a widow Elmore in Ripley township and while living there was accused of being too intimate with his wife's daughter, the Elmore girl, aged about sixteen. He was arrested at the instance of his wife and would doubtless have landed in the penitentiary had not his son, Albert, come to his rescue and married the Elmore girl, proclaiming himself the author of her wrong. After this marriage the family lived in the Harris property on south Elm street for some time and several stirring domestic scenes rendered their residence there memorable to all the citizens of that part of the city. Last Saturday THE JOURNAL received the following letter from the mother of Albert Hunter, Mrs. Stump, of Ghent, Ky., which gives au account of tne suicide of Albert at that place:

GHRMT, Ky., July 0, 181)4.—Dear Sim: We have been taking your paper for two years until last week. We run out of money as we have had bad luck. I was called to Tipton to my daughter's death bed and we laid her in the cold clay. When I returned 1 found my son very bad because he had grieved very much over his wife, who lives in Crawfordsville. They parted some time ago over his brother. Henry Hunter. llis wife was an Elmore before she was married to my son, Albert Hunter. When I was back a few days, my son got very ill on the 2d day of July, and on the 3d he got to grieving over sister and his wife. I went in the kitchen to do something. While I was gone he wrote a note and laid it on thd stand, then taking his pistol placed it to his head and fired. The ball went through his temple, coming out just behind the left ear. These are the words he wrote: "Dear mother, brothers and sisters, also my dear wife:—We have laid my dear sister in the cold ground to rest. Now I will bid you all farewell. have lived in torment ever since I have been married now I will rest. 1 loved my wife but she did't me, so 1 will say farewell to one and all.

We laid him to rest on the 4th of July. He was 20 years old, and would have been 21 the 12th day of August.

The teachers who retire are Mr. Taylor, Miss Williams and Miss Emma Griest. The new teachers are Mr. Noble, Miss Wise and Miss Van Sandt. Owing to the reduction in the school tax levy from 10 to 5 cents and the failure tho enumerate as many people as usual it will be necessary to reduce the salaries of tho teachers somewhat. All of the teachers have accepted their positions except Miss Binford, who is considering an offer from a college.

Two Hoys Almost Drowned. Last Saturday afternoon Several boys, among them being Frank and Clyde Syinmes, went down to the dam to fish, and they concluded to take a swim. They did, and came near getting more than they were expecting. Clyde plunged off into a deep hole and yelled for help. Frank rushed right in to "pull him out." A man fishing along the bank ran to the rescue and pulled both of the boys out. Now Clyde vows that he would never go to the dam again, and says as he was blaklng the first time he could "see mamma and the baby right be/ore his ey

Distinguished Guests.

eedersburg Ncwx: Gen. Lew Wallace and Hon Maurice Thompson were here Tuesday evening, stopping long enough in town to get a horse shod, when they went down to the creek on a fishing trip to either catch a string of bass or buy 'em of the small boy who always has good luck down that way. It is not often that our town is honored by a visit of two such men as they are, but their common Hoosier manners is such that no one, unless they knew them, imagined the distinction of the guests.

A Thing of Iteauty.

THE JOURNAL COMPANY has just issued a history of the class of 1873 of Princeton college. The history gives the record of all the class members since graduation. Its author is Dr. G. S. Burroughs. The book is a thing of beauty and attests powerfully the ability of TIIE JOURNAL COMPANY to execute as fine job work as can be done anywhere in the country.

A Now Variety of Wheat.

A. B. Smith, of near Garfield, has a field of wheat of a new variety which promises an abundant yield. The heads have a velvety covering which it is said protects them from all insects, the usual enemy of wheat. The heads contain from 85 to 90 grains, are large and plump and it is estimated that his field will yield 30 bushels to the acre.
