MORTON CLUB RE-ORGANIZED. HE DROPPED DEAD.

First Meeting Held Thursday Night at the

1era

lu8e.

The Morton Club which did such effective work during the campaign of 1892 was re-organized last Thursday. The Club met at the old Opera House on Washington street which has been rented for its use until after the election. The meeting was called to order by President Bandel and after some preliminary and routine work a number of applications for membership were received, among them two Democrats. They were duly initiated according to the forms of the Club and were given seats as full members.

At the meeting to be held on Saturday evening, Sept. 22, the committee appointed to make arrangements to attend the McKinley meeting at Indianapolis on the 25th will make a detailed report. The arrangements thus far made are that the Club lias guaranteed to the Big Four railroad at least 500 tickets at 75 cents for the round trip. This guarantee was made through J. R. Bonnell and C. N. Williams who gave their certified check for $375. The special train will leave Grawfordsville soon after the regular morning train east and will return at a time to be hereafter fixed.

The Club starts off with great enthusiasm and confident in the belief that it will assist in placing Indiana in the same column with Vermont and Maine.

Found After Thirteen Years. Attica Ledger: Thirteen years ago Wesley Bever left this county and during that time nothing had been heard from him until a few weeks ago he wired his brother, Walter, at Pawnee City, Neb. Wesley had read in a newspaper of a railroad accident near Lincoln and among the list of missing noticed the name of a brother. His message was a great surprise, as every effort had been made to trace him by his father, Michael Bever, which was kept iip after the death of the latter. Detectives were sent to Australia and other remote parts of the world, but without avail, and he had been given up as dead. In the meantime the son had been traveling all over the world and at last landed on the Pacific coast, eventually going to Colorado, where he was when he sent the message. The report of the death of his brother in the railroad wreck proved to be untrue and he journeyed to Pawnee City, where for the first time he learned of the death of his father and mother, which occurred only a few months before. When Wesley left Fountain county he was slender and in poor health, and he is now said to be in perfect health and physique and materially changed for the better in every respect. He is expected to visit his old home within the next months.

Porter Dropped.

Although Rev. J. W. Porter, late of this county, was acquitted on the charge of larceny by the courts, he was convicted on other charges by the Baptist church. A special from Wabash, says:

The Rev. J. W. Porter, the Baptist minister of Liberty Center, who was arrested charged with stealing a pocketbook from Miss Lizzie Sparks, of Banquo, and who was acquitted, was tried by the Salamoni Baptist Association on two other charges, one alleging that he had represented to Noah Garrett and S. C. Cotton that he has SI,700 on deposit in an Indianapolis bank by reason of which representation he got their names as security on two

$500

notes, which they paid. A

second charge was that he had borrowed a horse belonging to James Frye, a member of his congregation, for a short drive, and instead he drove the animal sixty miles in twelve hours, ruining the horse. He was also accused of using profane language. As a result of the trial it was decided to expel him from the church.

Robbed at Covington.

A. B. Johnson, of Danville, is now in the city looking after a stock of jewelry which was stolen from him at the Covington fair. He states that a man named Hamilton, giving his residence as Crawfordsville, decamped with it. The police found that the stolen goods had been shipped here as baggage over the Big Four and were then taken from the check room by some party who presented the check. The successor of Spink Wasson is a new man here and therefore was unacquainted with the man taking the property away. The police are now looking into the case.

A New Department.

THE JOURNAL COMPANY has added a new department which will be a great accommodation to the public. Hereafter you can get rubber stamps of all kinds, including self inkers, seals, stencils and everything in this line at THE JOURNAL office. We will be ready to receive your orders on next Monday. Our prices will be as low as you can get in any large city and will save you postage,express charges and the trouble of writing.

CRAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1894.—TWELVE PAGES PART FIRST

1)avla Campbell of NortheaBt of tUe CHj.

Kecelves a Sudden Summons.

Sunday afternoon David Campbell, residing just beyond the Walnut Fork bridge on the Darlington road, went to his stable to doctor a sick horse. When his absence seemed unduly protracted his wife went to the barn and was horrified to find the dead body of her husband in a stall next to the one occupied by the sick horse. He had died of heart disease, the end being brought in all probability, by over exertion in working with the animal. Mr. Campbell had been troubled with heart disease for some time and it was expected he would pass away just as he did. lie was born in this county forty-sever, years ago and was esteemed by the community in which he lived. He leaves a wife and a daughter aged thirteen.

DIVORCE DAY.

Matrimonial Knots Untied by Judge Harney in the Circuit Court.

Friday was divorce day in the circuit coiirt and the usual peck of domestic infelicity was dished up for the enjoyment and spiritual nourishment of the usual gang of loafers that assembled to assimilate the spicy details as though it were the ambrosia of the gods.

Mrs. Frazier proved beyond doubt that she was too good for Dave Frazier so the court cut the cable and she gracefully glided out from her irksome moorings upon the placid sea of grass widowhood.

Wm. McNeeley showed how Louie hadn't done as she should have done and the court granted him a blissful decree of separation together with the care and custody of his male and female offspring.

Clara Wasson demonstrated pretty conclusively without having to resort to a blackboard diagram that A1 Wasson wasn't the kind of a fellow to do credit to her. She was set free.

Goldie Bowers has been released from merry wedlock with Charley Bowers and her taffy colored top is now waving as a distress signal in the matrimonial market.

Oue Allen Again.

September 15 at Covington Que Allen again came to the front. He was entered there in the 2:24 trot and won it with ease. It took four heats to settle the race, Laura McGregory getting the second heat, Que Allen's driver permitting. The best time was made in the last heat, 2:23%. Que Allen will now be taken off the track for the season, having made a remarkable record. He has won seven races in less than a month, the only races he was ever in, and has lost only a single heat. He made a mark of 2:20 and could easily have beaten it. Next season, however, he cannot be expected to do so well, although his admirers are calling a great future for him. He will have to go in the 2:20 class and there will be horses in that next season that can go it in 2:16 and 2:15 like a flirt. Que Allen will probably be with them at the finish, however.

A Mayor's Meeting.

Indianapolis Journal: Mayor Fred C. Bandel, of Crawfordsville, has written Mayor Denny, asking him to call a convention of the Mayors of Indiana cities to meet in this city to consider matters relating to city government. Mayor Denny has not yet decided whether he will consent to issue the call or not. He has replied to Mayor Bandel that if such a convention is called, in his opinion, it should be called during the session of the Legislature next year. The purpose of calling the convention at this time, if at all, would be in order that the Mayors might know what legislation concerning city government was contemplated by the Legislature. It would also be a convenient time for the convention to ask for any legislation relating to the government of cities that might seem advantageous

Meeting i9the' Loyal Legion. The next stated meeting of the Indiana Commandery will be held on the evening of Friday, October 12. Capt. John E. Cleland will make an address of fifteen minutes, covering the operations of the Army of the Cumberland under Gen. Geo. II. Thomas, from Chattanooga to Nashville, and his estimate of the man. Capt.

After the business 'meeting, General Lew Wallace will read a paper on the life and military services of the late Brigadier General Daniel MaCauley, which will be followed by expressions from other members of the Legion.

"HOW'S THE FOLKS?"

Congressmgn ltrookHliire Malces an Kmharassing Mistake.

Terre Haute Express: Congressman Brooltshire was in the city Wednesday explaining the antics of the Fifty-third Congress, renewing political acquaintances and reaching out for the welcome hands of his constituency. Although the Montgomery statesman was lost sight of amid the delegation of horsemen, he was not idle and was trying to make the fact known that he was among us and in the race, not against time, but for another seat in Congress. He was going through the hotel corridors shaking hands right and left, with that pleasant smile of a presiding elder. Stepping out of the National House onto the sidewalk, he spied a half-dozen commonly dressed men, apparently farmers, talking, as "Vorey"' supposed, about the crop prospect and the probability of the river coming up and letting the catfish out into the river bottom corn. He approached them smilingly, with outstretched hand, and said: "Why, how do you do, boys? 1 haven't seen you since I spoke out in your neighborhood two years ago."

The men looked at each other inquiringly, but took and mechanically shook the proffered hand of the congressman. As the congressional palm was passed from one palm to another, "Vorey" continued: "How are the boys all getting alonc? I know you all but to save my life I can't call your names. I'm coming down in your neighborhood again to make a speech, but in the meantime I want you to keep stirring the boys up." "I guess you have the advantage of us," remarked one of the congressman's auditors. "Oh no! You know me, I'm your congressman, Elijah V. Brooltshire. I'll see you several times before the campaign is over. We'll win if we only work." "Where are you a congressman from?" asked one of the party, with a knowing smile, as though the fact had just dawned upon him that "Vorey" was a harmless, wealtminded fellow who really imagined that he was a Congressman. "Why, don't you remember me? I am your Congressman from this, the Eighth Indiana district, and will be reelected. You certainly know Congressman E. V. Brookshire." "E. V. Brookshire, the 1," replied one of the party, "we're here from Ohio with some race horses trying to win some of the big money. We don't know any Congressman by the name of Brookshire."

Vorey, seeing his mistake, put his hands down deep in his pockets and walked away, looking as though he had lost a friend and regretting that he had lost the time and endured the embarrassment of electioneering Ohio voters for re-election in an Indiana district. He has decided to take a guide with him during the remainder of race week.

Kvangelist Dodell.

Evangelist W. A. Bodell began a series of meetings in the Presbyterian church at New Castle last Sunday. The following is a short account of his meetings in Wellington, Kansas, as given by a Wellington paper:

W. A. Bodell, of Crawfordsville, Ind., has just closed a series of meetings here. The Presbyterians and Congregational churches were united in the work. There was a great outpouring of the spirit. The churches were greatly revived and many souls brought in. The revival spirit was in the town, religion was the talk on the streets and in the stores offices and shops. Over fifty have united with the Presbyterian church, more than half of whom were men. Among them were judges, lawyers, doctors, merchants, bankers and prominent young men in the town. The work is regarded as the most substantial ever done in this place. Evangelist Bodell appeals to the consciences of men and his methods are free of all sensationalism.

Four More Marie Happy.

Saturday in the circuit court Clara Dyson obtained a divorce from Peter Dyson. Pete was proved to be a no account sort of a hub so the court granted the decree with a frigid rush.

Marguerite Rakestraw (Marguerite of long ago) was to-day granted liberty from Bill Rakestraw. After hearing her plaintive ditty the court opened the door of the matrimonial cage and Marguerite liew away.

County Schools Open.

The county schools, with the exception of those of Coal Creek, which openSept. 24. opened Monday, with the prospects of a very successful year. The corps of teachers is exceptionally fine and great things are expected of them.

GENERAL GROSVENOR'S SPEECH.

The Morton Club's First Appearance ill Line This Year—A Logical and Convincing Address.

Gen. C. H. Grosvenor, of Ohio, opened the campaign last Saturday evening at Music Hall before a large and enthusiastic audience. The Morton Club, headed by the band formed at its headquarters on Washington street, one hundred and fifty strong, and marched to the hotel to act as an escort for the speaker to the hall Hon. M. D. White acted as Chairman of the meeting and introduced the distinguished visitor in a few well chosen words. General Grosvenor limited his speecli to about an hour and confined himself to the tariff question and showed up the inconsistent record of the Democratic party in Congress where for thirteen months it sat incubating a bill and hatching a law which after it was hatched, in the language of Senator Mills, did not please a thousand men in the United States. A satisfactory tariff bill could not be expected made as it was by a heterogenous and disorganized party. The spectacle presented at this time illustrates the truth of the criticism. The President of the United States accusing a portion of his party of having been traitors to Democratic principles Senators and members accusing the President of unwarrantably interfering in the affairs of Congress, and among all their leaders is found envy, sedition and discord. The General then discussed the principles of the two parties and the different systems proposed. The McKinley law was the continuance of a system which had prevailed in this country for over thirty years. Revising the schedules of a system could not produce a panic, for the reason that the men at the head of all our industrial enterprises very well knew that, pending the discussion of the McKinley bill, the system would not be changed, and they kept their operatives at work. And for two years after the passage of the bill the country enjoyed a degree of prosperity unprecedented in our history. It was not until after the election of Mr. Cleveland and it was known that both Houses of Congress would be controlled by the Democratic party, with their promise that the system to which all the business of the country had been adjusted should be upturned and overthrown and a different system adopted, that the first effects of the panic became noticeable and the hard times set in. The panic of 1803 was the result of the shock given to the financial and industrial world by the triumph of this heterogenous party. Every manufacturer in the land, feeling the uncertainty of the situation, believing that the Democratic party in declaring for free trade meant free trade, began a curtailment of business. Slowly and surely were the number of employes reduced, the output of the country diminished, capital hoarded and withdrawn from circulation, and the seeds of the great financial revolution planted. Are we to keep the Democratic party in power that they may give further exhibitions of their incompetency in legislation? The speaker in closing appealed to his auditors to say by their votes, Thus far but no farther. It was a speech that appealed to the reason rather than to the passions of men and will have a telling and lasting effect.

Give Us That New Station!

The report of the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago railway for the year ending June 30, shows gross earnings, S3,195,883 operating expenses and taxes, 82,118,211 neat earnings, §1,077,272 surplus, $20,733, after paying a dividend of $57,252 on the preferred stock. "President Thomas says in his report: "When the present management received the property three years ago, the road consisted largely of iron rails, it was without ballast, its Chicago terminal was contracted, its equipment was meager, it was without shops, its bridges were light wooden structures and the company was confronted with debts due, or speedily maturing, in excess of §2,000,000. These debts were promptly paid and the disadvantages enumerated have all been removed, of substantial progress has been made in their removal. In comparison with what has already been accomplished the work remaining to be done seems trival."

Open Day and Night.

The headquarters of the Morton Republican Club in the Opera House will be open day and night. J. H. Cook is in charge there and all are welcome.
