DANGEROUSLY HURT.
l'erry Sering Receives Serious Injuries in a Kunaway Accident.
About noon Saturday Perry Sering, aged about 21 years, was driving the horse of Henry Kennedy near the creamery when the animal took fright at a wagon load of wheat driven by George Grubb, of Balhinch. The animal plunged suddenly and leaped almost out of the harness, pulling Sering out of the buggy. He held onto the lines, however, and was either kicked by the horse or had his head bumped against a telephone pole. He was picked up in an unconscious condition and carried to the home of his brother-in-law, Ed Duckworth, on south Washington street. Dr. Ensminger was called and found his face fearfully cut and his head crushed in.
PROF. GARVIN EXPLAINS.,
lie N«ver Questioned the Divinity of Christ, tiie Speaker Says.
At Bethany Frirday morning Prof. Garvin spoke on "The Atonement. Prof. Garvin is the member of the Butler University faculty who was denounced as a heretic here last spring at the district convention of the Christian church. He explained his views last Friday. Before he began his lecture he stated that if anyone had any questions to ask he would answer them. He stated that nowhere in the New Testament is there the promise that Jesus bore the sinners' punishment for him. So long as a man is unrighteous he is under the wrath of God and there is no way that man can propitiate Him, for His love was before all and is unchangeable.
The speaker said he had not one word to say outside the new testament. He then explained the portion of the scripture reading, "Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin." "That this means the blood of Jesus is monstrous and revolting," said he. "What you and I say is not going to make any stir. We are not in the front of the deepest thinkers others are beyond us. These very things you are opposing are keeping the church behind and driving men away from Christ. Through the blood of Christ we are cleansed from sin, but not freed from punishment. No man has ever heard me say one word calling into question the divinity of Christ. I believe the story of Jesus Christ just as it is told in the gospel, as you believe that He is the Son of God."
Suicide of Herbert Kichie Hess. A special from Chicago on Saturday, says:
H. R. Hess, of Indianapolis, a son of ex-Sheriff Hess, of that city, was found dead in his room at 1841 Michigan avenue to-day, having taken an overdose of morphine. His suicide is supposed to have resulted from despondency, as a picture of his dead wife and a little shoe of his recently buried child were found on his pillow.
The above recounts the sad ending of Herbert Hess, who graduated from Wabash College in the class of '83. Mr. Hess had many friends here and all will be shocked to learn of his tragic death. Not long ago his wife died and soon after the only child. Mr. Hess was appointed to a position in Washington City soon after the inauguration of President Harrison. He served under Attorney-General Miller, and remained in the employ of the department some time after the inauguration of President Cleveland.
Mr. Hess was always known to his associates as an active, intelligent young man. He was thirty years old. He studied law with Harrison, Miller «& Elam. He married Miss May Brooks. Mrs. Hess died at Phoenix, Ariz., last February. The child died at Chicago a few weeks ago of cholera infantum.
Frazer's Failings.
Dave Frazer is a gentleman who has not observed all the proprieties and obligations incident to model married life. Consequently Dave is defendant in a claw hammer divorce suit in which his sometimes loving wife, Mae Frazer, poses as plaintiff. Mae states in her complaint that Dave is a dissolute, drunken wretch with no idea of politeness or even common decency. He thinks he very gay when tearing around with frisky females and delights in threatening Mae with all sorts of grim disaster and death. He has also failed to provide so Mae is hankering after the customary decree together with the care and custody of her two blooming young daughters.
Death of Mary Collins.
Miss Mary Collins, aged 26 years, died Saturday night at her home in the Valley. Her death is ascribed to rheumatism of the heart. The funeral occurred at 10 o'clock Monday morning from the Catholic church. The services were conducted by Father Pratt, of Lafayette, the assistant of Father Dinnen.

A DAY IN WONDERLAND.
With Sells. Brothers and Their Enormous United Shows.
change and we have changed with them," said the Roman philosopher. It may also be said that these changes are not always for the better, but very often bring retrogres
sion decay and this is particularly true of the circus of to-day. In fact, since the great ring-master, Death, gave Adam Forepaugh and P. T. Barnum their final cues, at may be remarked that but one truly great and legitimate circus remains, that of Sells Brothers, which is to exhibit at Crawfordsville on August 29. The only big tented exhibition that will visit the city this season, introducing grand triple ring circus, hippodrome races, mammoth menagerie, two elevated theatre stages, Australian aviary, Arabian caravan, pilgrimage to Mecca, tropical aquarium, spectacular pageants and trans-Pacific wild beast exhibit aud free street parade. Sells Brothers present a more than abundant feast of everything which appertains to the most popular entertainments. In exclusive features, such as their monster pair of hippopotami, the hairless horse, a whole flock of ostriches, trained seals and sea lions, and a host of the rare curiosities too numerous to mention completes a wonderful performance. The Sells Brothers' big enterprise has been under one and the same management for a longer period than any other in existence, being now in the twenty-third prosperous year. This season the price of admission has been reduced from 50 to 25 cents for all, so nobody can afford to miss the big show of the world. Special excursion rates on all lines of travel.
S-iSf Wedding Anniversary. Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Fink celebrated the 25th anniversary of their wedding last Sunday at their home on west Market street. Relatives and a few intimate friends were present, A magnificent dinner was served, the table fairly groaning beneath a load jf all the good things known to the culinary art. After dinner the Misses Fink entertained the guests with some choice instrumental music, after which liberal hearted Phillip passed around the cigars. Mr. and Mrs. Fink were the recipients of several handsome presents. The afternoon was wliiled away in talking over old times. In the evening refreshments were served, consisting of tropical and domestic fruits and ice cream. The evening was spent in social conversation until a late hour when all left, wishing Phillip and his good old genial wife a world of joy and hoping they might live to celebrate their 100th anniversary. The occasion will ever be remembered as a bright spot on life's memory.
Ladoga Won the Tournament. Greeneastle Bnmicr-T imen: The base ball games at Baiabridge resulted in the inglorious defeat of the Greeneastle team. In fact, Greeneastle wasn't in it at all. Crawfordsville backed out and the contest took on a three cornered aspect. Ladoga and Greeneastle played before dinner and Greeneastle drew a goose egg while Ladoga was piling up twenty-five runs. After dinner Bainbridge took a sky at Ladoga and made two scores while the Ladogaites were scoring twenty-four. There are a lot of fellows in Ladoga that divide their time between breathing, visiting the new railway station and playing ball and the team that runs up against them for a pudding always strikes a snag. They pulled off the Bainbridge twenty-five without any trouble. In the meantime the Greeneastle boys say "balloon."
Cholera In the State.
The people of Dearborn county are excited over rumors of cholera. A report received by the State Health Board states that a little daughter of Peter Mann, of Weisberg, was taken suddenly ill with symptoms of cholera. She died soon after. Another child, age eleven, was taken ill August 11, and died the next day. Dr. S. H. Collins, of Lawrenceburg, who reported the case to the health board, visited the family, and found that the mother had been attacked. The board is not informed as to the income in her case. The reporting physician belieyes that the disease is merely cholera noster. Secretary Metcalf is not inclined to think that there is any danger, as the outbreak is doubtless due to local causes.

THE STORY OF A STONE.
A Diamond Lost at Lunch Is Found to the Joy of its Owner.
Some time ago a freight brakeman of the Vandalia stopped at the Junction House for lunch. Now this brakeman is a fastidious sort of a chap with an abnormal penchant for personal ornamentation and he had in his pocket book on the occasion in question a very pretty diamond worth something over S100. It so chanced that in paying for his lunch he accidentally dropped the stone on the floor and left without noticing his loss. The valuable bit of jewelry was shortly after picked up by that cherubic divinity, Mr. Jimmie Donovan, who had about as much idea of its value as he had of the literary merits of "The Ships that Pass in the Night." To the guileless Jim the rare "Stone appeared as a very pretty toy and sticking it in his not altogether immaculate shirt front he waded off as proud as a prize pig at a county fair. Iu the course of meanderings of the young man he reached the College street meat market of Will Kramer. William's .esthetic sense was offended by the evident incongruity existing between James and the sparkler and in order to put things more on their level he offered James a quarter for the bauble. Mr. Donovan shelled out like last year's corn and went hustling off to invest the cash in the various emporiums of liquid traffic. Mr. .Kramer kept the stone and for full many a day it shed its beneficent luster in his wigwam. A week ago, however, Mr. Brakeman came to Crawfordsville and offered Officer Jack Bannister §25 if lie would recover his lost property. Mr. Bannister had heard of the acquisition of the Donovan diamond and informed the brakeman on the spot. Together they repaired to Mr. Kramer who agreed to give the stone up upon the brakeman identifying it. It was placed in a jewelry -store with a number of other stones and Mr. Brakeman promptly pointed out the correct one. He now is in possession of his lost property and feeling considerably better.
CAl'T. E. W. NICHOLSON DEAD.
He Shoots Himself and Expires in a Short Time—The Deed I) sue in WHHIIington City.
Capt. E. W. Nicholson, formerly of this city, but more recently of Indianapolis and Washington, committed suicide in the latter city by shooting himself at the treasury stables near the white lot. The ball entered the liver just below the heart. A Washingspecial to the Indianapolis Sentinel gives the following particulars:
At 5:30 o'clock the report of the discharge of a gun attracted the attention of watchmen of the White House. When they reached the treasury stables they found Capt. Nicholson iu a pool of blood, with a 38-calibre pistol by his side. He was still alive and was immediately removed to the Emergency hospital, where he died at 8 o'clock. He was almost unconscious when found and all that could be learned from him was that despondency was the cause of the act. He was superintendent of the stables and employes saw him write two letters an hour or two before the shooting occurred. These letters were addressed to Indianapolis. Search has been made for them, but as they could not be found it is inferred that he mailed tliem just before sliooting himself, and that they contained reasons why he preferred ending his life to exertion. Another theory is that he was influenced by the articles on suicide that have appeared in a New York paper every Sunday for some time. A whole page has been given to communications, and eminent contributors have furnished their views including Bob Ingersoll. The preponderance of "evidence" has been on the side that it is not a crime to commit suicide when one is in misery on account of poverty or physical disabilities. According to the story told by the employes of the stable, the captain read the paper in question this afternoon. Of a despondent mind, there is no question that the suicide sheet referred to would have some influence. Capt. Nicholson was an old citizen of Indianapolis. He was a captain of police of the Indianapolis force before it was organized on the metropolitan plan. Soon after the Harrison administration was installed, through the influence of liis brother-in-law, Capt. Meredith, late chief of the bureau of printing and engraving, Capt. Nicholson was appointed watchman at the treasury building. He was retained by the present administration but transferred to the treasury stables, where he had charge as superintendent. He was about sixty yers old and was very popular with among the treasury people, where he was well known. It was largely through his own popularity that he managed to hold on under an admistration with which lie was not in accord politically. His position was secured. He leaves a widow and a son, who are now at In dianapolis. His remains will be shipped there for interment.
Capt. Nicholson lived in this city for many years and will be remembered as a most popular dry gooods clerk in in the store of Campbell & Harter. He served through the war as First Lieutentant and Captain of the Twen ty-second Indiana Battery, which was attached to the Twenty-third Corps and participated in all the battles and skirmishes in which the Corps was en gaged. In 1808 he was the Republican candidate for Recorder of this county, but was defeated by T. N. Myers by 72 votes. He is the father of Meredith Nicholson, of the Indianapolis News, and whose sweet poems have so often graced the columns of-TIIK JOURNAL.

How Tom Saw the l'in 1'3ate Works. Torn Clark was at Gas City a few days ago and for along time tried iu vain to see the tin plate works but the gate keeper and general manager said that visitors were excluded and refused him admittance. Finally Tom spied a workman coming out with a dinner pail and an idea struck him. He borrowed the dinner pail and with the excuse that he was to deliver it to one of the workmen, easily secured an entrance in spite of the orders of the general manager.
