TAKING OUT THEIR CARDS.

The A. It. U. at Momenta Disintegrating The Men Acknowledge They Have Keen Misled.

To the Editor The Journal. Momence, Ii.i,., July 23, 1S04—The situation of the strike on the Chicago & Eastern Illinois Ry., since my last communication has made a decided change in affairs. Both the Chicago and Brazil divisions have opened their lines for traffic in general, which at the present time is very heavy. Nearly all the men employed in the train service are new ones, and apparently give entire satisfaction. The officers of the road have issued a notice to all employes whose services were satisfactory and who have not committed any acts of violence will be reinstated upon their application. The majority of the local union acknowledge the strike a complete failure and to their detriment. As this has been the most gigantic strike since 1877, and most of the men are inexperienced and allowed their better valor to be dictated by a set of labor cranks who have been jilted by former orders and were venting their animosity upon the heads of the older unions to their utter dismay. From all indications there will never be another general boycott without serious consideration before any action is taken. Several of the A. R. U. men at this place have taken out their withdrawal cards from the Union, (as well as myself) and have decided to stand up on their honor as men regardless of all unions. Having had conversation with a number of railroad men invariably they are of the opinion that there will be great suffering during the coming winter, and are loud in their praise for the men who held their positions. Experience, the great teacher whose lessons sooner or later must be heeded, points out with unerring certainty the defects, and demonstrates the inefficiency of the organizations as they now exist.

THE OLD TOWN CEMETERY.

Two Hundred and Twenty-Two Bodies Exhumcd—Tlie City Building to He I'apered and Painted—

Other Matters.

The council met Monday evening at a late hour with Messrs. Thomas and Robinson absent, both being out of the city.

Mr. Myers made remarks favoring the opening of Oak street, he and the engineer having made a survey of it.

The Board of Public Improvements was granted further time to consider the proposed addition of Mr. Ireland and also on the request of W. M. Darter for the vacating of eight feet on Grant avenue in front of his residence.

J. H. Cook, as the superintendent of the work of exhumation of the bodies in the vacated portion of the old town cemetery, reported that 222 bodies had been exhumed. Of these 2C0 had been reinterred in the old town cemetery and 1(1 removed to other cemeteries The expense of removal was in the neighborhood of $37.". Of the bodies exhumed 174 were those of unknown persons.

The question of placing two arc lights in front of the Catholic church for Rev.

-T. R.

Dinnen's jubilee came

up, but was not disposed of, no one making a motion to put the thing through.

Mr. McCampbell very properly roasted the miserable crossing now running across Main street from Myers Oi Charni's store, and on motion a brick crossing was ordered put in.

It was moved and carried to repair the city building with paper, paint, etc., and it was decided to receive bids for the same at the next meeting.

A large photograph of the floral tributes at the funeral of the late W. Vanarsdall was presented to the council by the family of the deceased and was received with a vote of thanks.

Gen. Lew Wallace was present and stated to the council that he had a petition to present to them signed by nearly all the business men in town and about 200 young men. At his suggestion it was voted to have a called meeting on Thursday evening to consider the petition which relates to the purchase of uniforms for Company B.

The resolution calling out the city commissioners to consider the opening and extension of Oak street from College to Haw was unanimously passed.

The question of the purchase of the lot just north of the city building came up but nothing was done, the council holding a secret after meeting to consider the question.

The council adjourned without further business.

Montgomery Savings Association. The stockholders of the Montgomery Savings Association met Monday night and elected the following seven directors to serve during the ensuing year: R. E. Bryant, J. E. Evans. W. W. Morgan, J. M. Scliultz, A. E. Reynolds, T. E. Nolan and G. W. Robinson. These directors will meet on the fourth Monday in August and elect the oliicers for next year. The semi-annual report will be prepared in a few days and ready for distributing. This shows a healthy growth for the association, and bright promise for the future

THE COST OF GAS.

FROM THE KANKAKEE.

I'lic Impressions of a Montgomery County Hoy Among the "Sand Kidgers."

To the Editor of The Journal: Roselawx, 1ni., July 23, 1894.— Thinking that perhaps a report from this part of the tenth district would be appreciated by your readers, I decided to write you a few impressions of a Montgomery county boy among the "sand-ridgers."

Now don't imagine the Kankakee country one of vast desert, inhabited only by fleas and an occasional Swamp Hoosier with web feet and a haunted look, for such is not the case. From each bank of the Kankakee, for half a mile or more, extends the flat, boggy marsh land, which in the spring is one vast lake of water covered with thousands of ducks aud geese. Later on, however, the water retreats into the main channel, leaving thousands of acres of meadow land. About the 4th of July the haying begins and lasts until fall when the immense balers are started, manned by eight or ten big ranchmen (they're all ranchmen tip here) and this lasts all winter. This is the main occupation of the people here together with gardening- and dairying. They live well and have plenty of money. The greater part of the country is owned by capitalists and operated by local ranchmen. "Xelse" Morris, Frank Landers and F. R. Otis own immense tracts in this vicinity: and that reminds me, Uncle Frank Landers remarked a while back that I13 would have been Governor of Indiana at one time if lie had received votes enough.

Fishing will be good soon. Last summer I stayed on the river nearly every day for, to be able to go down most any day and catch from twenty to fifty pounds of pickerel is great fun for a fellow who used to fish two days in Sugar Creek and catch a goggle-eye.

THE CRUCIFIX.

Mrs. Bridget Cogan Expired While Kissing the Cross, the Life Fluid liunning Upon it From Her Mouth.

Indianapolis Sun: With a crucifix covered with her own blood in her hand, Bridget Cogan, of Crawfordsville, Monday morning about 3 o'clock, walked unsteadily down the stairway in the Crain home, 106 Fayette street, aroused the family and complained of being sick.

She was assisted back to bed, and died almost instantly from internal hemorrhage. Sunday night she seemed as well as usual and attended a Catholic church with the family. She was evidently seized with such a violent hemorrhage that she expected death, and while kissing the crucifix blood ran upon it from her mouth.

The Journal Tuesday morning says: Mrs. Bridget Cogan, of Crawfordsville, died suddenly yesterday morning at 3 o'clock, at No. 10(5 Fayette street, where she was visiting her brother-in-law, James P. Crane. On arriving in this city she was ill, but she improved within the last few days. Her condition was such that she was preparing to go on to Washington, her destination. Coroner Beck viewed the remains, and held that death was due to hemorrhage. Deceased was fifty-four years old. She was a native of Ireland. Her husband, who is in Crawfordsville, has been notified.

WHO TURNED THE SWITCH

And Wrecked the Train at Fontanet?—A New Development In the Case.

The case of Ed Holloway, charged with turning a switch at Fontanet, wrecking a train and killing two persons, is still fresh in the public mind. There seems to have been no new developments in the case, so far as newspaper accounts have been concerned, since it was reported that Holloway had denied having anything to do with the wreck, and claimed to have been in Rosedale that night near 10 o'clock, and got something to eat at a restaurant. The Vigo county Sheriff went to Rosedale to investigate the matter and upon his return it was announced in the newspapers that he refused to tell what he had found out, and they would have to wait until the preliminary trial. This seemed rather strange, and the friends of Holloway surmised that Holloway had at last come to himself and told the truth concerning his being in Rosedale. Tuesterday ''Babe" Holloway a brother of Ed, went jwn to Rosedale aud called at this restaurant to get something to eat. and also to pump the owner about whether he remembered Ed Holloway being there the night in question. Babe Holloway did not make himself known, but became engaged in conversation with the restaurant owner, Samuel H. llogan, who told him that he had made an affidavit concerning the matter and it was taken by the Vigo county Sheriff aud delivered to the coroner. He then described a man who had called at his restaurant that night about 10 o'clock and asked for a piece of bologna sausage. He said that he looked something like his new caller (Babe Holloway). The sausage was not in stock so he fixed a sandwich for Ed, who sat down and ate it. Then Holloway narrated to him about how he had got run away from the train at Fontanet by the strikers, and forced to leave the place. He said the bruise on his forehead was caused by a rock thrown by a striker. It also seems that Ed also told the same story to other parties in Rosedale before he called at the restaurant. After he left the restaurant he said that he slept in a box car and arose early and walked to Rockville, where he was arrested. From these facts it is seen that Holloway, to have thrown the switch at Fontanet, must have "walked back, a distance of six miles, after 10 p. m. and after wrecking the train at near 11:30 o'clock, have walked seventeen miles to Rockville by early the next morning. All of these matters will be brought out on next Monday at the preliminary trial in Terre Haute.

Death of Mrs. Betsey l'aytoii. Mrs. Betsey Payton died Sunday, July 22, at 7 o'clock p. m. of heart trouble at home at Possum Ridge after many years' suffering from rheumatism. She was the wife of James Payton, who passed on before August 31, 1891. She was kind, sociable, industrious and loved and honored by all who knew her. She was the mother of six children, four of whom survive her and have the sympathy of the entire community. The interment occurred at Freedom church cemetery Monday.

Owen, the Wallace photographer, will remain here till August.

He can't possibly be spared till the hot weather is over.'

Rev. Booher, of Anderson, filled his regular fourth Sunday at Lutheran church. He preached a very able and eloquent discourse Sunday morning, the latter part of which was heard by a large audience, the first half of the services being almost continually interrupted by persons straggling in. Church began late, the majority of the congregation came later and about one-third cime after the time for services to close. Three accessions to the church were received at the close of the service.

The Childrens' day exercises at Livengood's church Sunday night was well attended and, to everybody's delight, consisted of a literary programme of much the same character as a school exhibition. It is to be expected. however, that there are persons who never gave an hour or a nickel toward this or any other public entertainment and who, perhaps, attend church once or twice a year that are greatly shocked, and professional gossip may also be furnished with material for their art for weeks to come. 1 he affair, on the whole, was pronounced a very enjoyable one.

A Hillsboro quartette of young picnicers passed through here Saturday enroute to the Shades. They gave free concerts on the wing as they passed each house and at short intervals regaled themselves from longnecked bottles filled, perhaps, with some soothing elixir, judging bv the sleepy and peaceful attitude which they assumed during the latter part of their journey. The party consisted of two young men aud a female partner for each. Their horses got awav from them Sunday and started home but were caught at Lutheran church. The gay party returned Sunday evening apparently as happy as a nest of catfish.
