AN ELECTRIC RAILROAD.

A Route That Would Pay Big Money and be of Great Benefit to Crawfordsville and the County.

The question of an electric railway is being agitated here again with considerable violence and it is now probable that when the plant is put in it will be not only for Crawfordsville but for the county as well reaching out to those towns and places not now possessed of railroad communication. A route has been proposed which any one conversant with the situation can readily see would pay big money all the year around and at the same time be of immense benefit to the city and county. The proposed track would traverse the streets and then run a loop through the southwestern portion of the county. It would go first to Oak Hill cemetery and thence by the high ground to the O'Neal corner in Yountsville, thence west on the Perryville road to a point due north of Alamo and thence to Alamo. From Alamo it could be run to the Shades, crossing the creek at Bluff Mills. From the Shades around to Waveland completing the loop to Crawfordsville via New Market, Brown's Valley and North Union. A prominent railroad engineer says that a grade of 200 feet to the mile is eminently practical in electrical railroading and such a grade would meet all the difficulties of the proposed route. The scheme if perfected would be a great thing for Crawfordsville and the section of country visited. It has been tried in other sections of the State with magnificent results and should certainly be tried here. It would be a popular enterprise and would be encouraged by all.

The Big Circus Iay of all the Year. As old "Rough and Ready would have put it, "all the world and all the rest of mankind" hereabouts are pictorially and editorially advised of the hilarious fact that Sells Brothers' Big Show of the World is to give afternoon and evening exhibitions at Crawfordsville on August 29, preceded by a grand free morning street parade of unusual liberality and attractiveness. The various interesting and amusing exhibitions massed under twelve huge tents need not be x-eenumerated, but it is pertinent to say that one and all will be forthcoming, as Sells Brothers are honest and impartial managers, who wisely regard one man's money as good as another's, and everywhere, and at every performance, return precisely the same abundant and satisfactory equivalent for the price of admission. While abroad Sells Brothers added notably to its special attractions by purchasing in Australia, East India and elsewhere, many exceedingly rare and royal wild beasts, birds and reptiles among them five tremendous tigers, any one of which is big enough to swallow any other one heretofore exhibited a whole drove of giant kangaroos of varied hue a flock of splendid, full-grown and baby emus prodigious constricting serpents, singular apes, and superbly-plumaged language gifted birds. In truth, great and proportionately successful efforts have been made to gather from every clime the most valuable and unique promoters of instruction and entertainment in living form, and the grand result cannot fail to universally profit and please. Reduced price of admission, twenty-five cents to all combined shows. Special excursion rates issued on all lines of travel.

The Montana Silver Statue. The two things which of all others at the Columbian Exposition will be thought of as peculiar and monumental to it are the Montana Silver Statue and the great Ferris wheel. Both of these were conceived in an accidental manner Ferris drew the first sketch of the mammoth wheel on the back of a bill of fare at a chop house while he was waiting for his luncheon. Iligbee got up one night with the idea of a silver statue, sketched it and went back to bed. and forgot all about it until his wife found the sketch days afterward and carelessly asked if it was of any value before she threw it away. The silver statue probably had more newspaper mention than any one thing at the Fair. It advertised Montana and her great resources in every paper in the world and drew everyone to see it at the Fair. Since the Fair it has been on a tour of exhibit.

The many Indiana people who were unable to visit the Fair will soon be given a chance to see this wonderful work of art. The Pettis Dry Goods Co. (The New York Store) of Indianapolis, with their characteristic progressiveness and enterprise have secured the statue at an enormous expense and will place the same on exhibition at their store during the State Fair.

The State Fair.

The State Fair at Indianapolis this year promises to be of more than ordinary interest. A great change has been made in the programme and several most popular and entertaining features have been added. The entries already made insure the success of the exhibit, and the patronage promises to be better than for years. The dates are September 17 to 23. yS'c

Ice Cream Supper at Alamo. The ladies of the Presbyterian church of Alamo will give an ice cream supper at their church on Saturday evening, September l, 1891. The proceeds will be for the benefit of the church. Admission 10 cents. Everybody invited. Don't fail to come.

INDIANAPOLIS BANK WRECKERS.

Kx-Congressman Peirce Makes Good His Indebtedness—The Uaugheys.

An Indianapolis special to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat says it is regarded as definitely settled that ex-Con-gressman R. B. F. Peirce, who was indicted with the Haugheys and Coffins for looting the Indianapolis National Bank, will not be tried at the approaching term of court, and that the case against both Mr. Peirce and Cashier Rexford will be stricken off. Mr. Peirce made good his indebtedness of 805,000 some time ago, and as his guilt was of a constructive sort as a director, being cognizant of the fraudulent transactions of President Haughey, it is argued that nothing would be gained by pushing the case. In the case of Cashier Rexford, the indictment was somewhat of a surprise. In the first place, Rexford had no responsibility in the bank and acted only under the instructions of the President. According to the programme now, Schuyler Haughey will be tried next month, but there is a possibility that his case may go over until the Supreme Court has decided on the questions that led to the supersedeas granted the Coffins after they had spent a few days in the Michigan City prison. Their attorneys are confident that they will be given a new trial ultimately, and there is a good possibility that none of the seven men indicted, save President Haughey, who pleaded guilty and is now in prison, will ever be made to suffer for the wrecking of the bank. The case against young Haughey is on much the same lines as was the Coffins. If they should escape, the President's son would get the benefit. The boy is charged with getting away with 845,000 of the 81,100,000 deposits that disappeared from the bank. F. O. Stannard, who was indicted for the conspiracy to bribe Juror Armstrong to sell the verdict in the case of the Coffins, is still successfully hidden, and the officers have no trace of his whereabouts, except a hint that he has gone to Mexico. His bond has long since been forfeited and the 84,000 paid into court.

WANTS $10,000 DAMAGES.

The Administrator of Charles Oaborn's Estate Demands a Bonus of the Big Four.

On Wednesday, through Paul it Bruner, the administrator of the estate of Charles Osborn, deceased, W. M. Reeves filed suit in the circuit court for 810,000 damages. The complaint alleges that in July, 1893, the decedent was a freight brakeman on the Big Four railroad that for several nights and days previous to his injuries he was forced to work without rest because the road was short of hands that one evening his train reached Peoria, 111., and he was allowed to go to his boarding house to get the sleep denied for about seventy-five hours that he had not been asleep half an hour when forced to get up and take a place on an extra freight that had been made up to run to Indianapolis that Osborn worn out took the place of head brakeman and did the work until Jamestown was reached that there he was sent ahead to flag the passenger train that he set his red lantern down between the rails and that the by-laws of the railroad company expressly state that no train shall run over one of these lights that Osborn knowing this and that it could be seen a mile down the track sat down on the ends of the ties that he was worn out and fell asleep: that the passenger train disregarded the red light and ran over it fracturing the skull of Osborn who did not awaken quicklj enough to escape that Osborn was not given medical attendance at Jamestown when it could be easily had but was brought on to Crawfordsville and was not treated until 9 o'clock the following morning.

He died of the injuries received and his estate now asks 810,000 damages from the railroad company.

YVants Light on the Subject.

To the Editor of The Journal. Who pays the loss when a County Auditor loans 8900 on a four-acre lot of land and it runs until the principal and interest amounts to 81,100, and said Auditor sells the aforesaid land for §400 has it sold rather privately, and has a man to bid it in for him, but lets on as though the bidder owns the land, but really the said Auditor owns it? Who pays the State the 8700 loss? I want light on the subject.

We noticed in the Artjiis-News Monday evening a statement to the effect that there were three M. D.'s at this place who were likely to be indicted by the grand jury for making a thorough post mortem examination of the remains of Miss Opha Hays in order that her character might be vindicated and that the public might know beyond a doubt what was the real cause of her death, etc. In answer to the above named article, after investigation, we are prepared to say that the doctors referred to are eating hearty and sleeping soundly and show no signs of being the least bit alarmed about the case. And will further say that it is our prophesy that if some of the jealous, envious and meddlesome bodies here who have been and are still agging this on, don't let up that they themselves will get badly mutilated and possibly punctured before the case is settled.

I notice in last week's JOURNAL that there is a new correspondent popped up from this place, which, happening at this particular date, just on the verge of a feast, reminds me very much of Christmas times with the Sunday schools, when treats are expected, etc. You know every child within three miles will attend about that time just in order to {get a ball of pop corn, candy and sich like, after which you see and hear no more of them until something else if promised. But in conclusion, to our friend we will sav, we are neither jealous or envious and that if you will come around next Wednesday morning and make yourself known you can have a free pass to the city with us and after we get there you shall share equal with us (yes, even eat out of the same dish) both at luncheon and at the circus, but we will insist that you don't disappear entirely out of sight when the social is over, like the Sunday school scholars above referred to.

Of Interest to Mothers.

The success of Mrs. Annie M. Beam of McKeesport, Penn., in the treatment ment of diarrhoea in her children, will undoubtedly be of interest to many mothers. She says: "I spent several weeks in Johnstown, Pa., after the great flood, on account of my husband being employed there. We had several children with us, two of whom took diarrhoea very bad. I got some of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy from Rev. Mr. Chapman. It cured both of them. I knew of several other cases where it was equally successful 1 think it cannot be ex celled and cheerfully recommend it."' 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by Nye & Booe, 111 N. Washington st., oppo site the court house.
