KNIGHTS CELEBRATE

The City Takes On An Unwontedly Gay Attire and Welcomes the K. of P.

THE AFFAIR EMINENTLY SUCCESSFUL

The I'arade One of the Finest in the History of the Town and the Picnic a Joyous Occasion.

The much talked of Pythian celebration has occurred and has proved an unqualified success. The day opened with autumnal perfection and beheld Crawfordsville in gayer attire than she she had been for many years before. The business portion of town and many private residences were elaborately decked out in the colors and insignia of the popular order and presented an attractive spectacl^. Main and Washington streets seemed a grand symphony of red, blue and yellow and banners and bunting hung everywhere, welcoming the Knights to the Hoosier Athens. People began to arrive from the country quite early and all the morning trains brought large delegations of visitors from neighboring places. These delegations were met at the depot by the Crawfordsville Uniform Rank and escorted to Castle Llall. Bands paraded the streets and enthusiasm ran high. Shortly after eleven o'clock the various lodges, uniformed and ununiformed, bands, carriages, marshals and officers that had assembled on north Washington street began to move. They marched south on Washington street to Franklin street and counter marched to Main, thence east and to the fair grounds. The procession was a long one, taking half an hour to pass a given point. The uniform rank lodges were from Lafayette, 48 men: Logansport, 26 men Veedei-sburg, 22 men Crawfordsville 30 men. The other lodges in line were Mace, 75 men Ladoga, 40 men New Ross, 14 men Crawfordsville, 60 men New Market, 35 men Darlington, 60 men New Richmond, 36 men Wingate, 12 men Waynetown, 60 men. Besides the Crawfordsville band there were in the parade the Lafayette Military Band, a fine organization, the Darlington band and the New Richmond band. Officers and marshals were all on horse back and there were two open carriages containing Mayor Bandel, Major-Gen-eral Carnahan, General Lew Wallace. W. T. Whittington and other distinguished Knights from at home and abroad. An amusing feature of the parade was the goats which especially interested the ladies as the symbol of the secrecy which their curiosity has always failed to penetrate. The division of Knights in the coats of mail and helmet and riding horseback like those of the middle ages attracted much attention. Altogether it was probably the most creditable parade we have witnessed in Crawfordsville for years.

Arrived at the fair grounds the large crowd dispersed over the grounds and at the dinner hour the baskets were opened and spread. This afternoon occurred the speeches by Gen. Wallace, Gen. Carnahan, W. T. Whittington, Dr. Greene and others.

NOTES.

There were four bands in the parade. There were several candidates on the ground.

The patent medicine man on the court house corner is a K. P. and he advertised the fact.

The interior of the court house contained some of the neatest and most elaborate adornment.

School was dismissed at 10 o'clock yesterday in order to allow the children to witness the parade.

The Indians and cow boys took the streets after dinner and finally went whooping to the fair ground for the races.

The Lafayette band of thirty pieces is an excellent organization and the fine music it put up was greatly appreciated.

John Wampler was the daddy of the celebration and labored indefatigably to carry out the idea. To his efforts the grand success is due to a large degree.

Republican Speaking at Ladoga. Hon. Washington I. Robinson will speak in the opera house in Ladoga on Tuesday, Oct. 2, at 7:30 p. m. Mr. Robinson will make a Republican speech and members of all parties are invited to be present.

LAFAYETTE'S DEATH TRAP.

Another Big Wreck at the lllg Four and Union .Stations.

Special to the Journal. LAFAYETTE, Sept. 27.—About 1:30 o'clock this morning the rear end of a Lake Erie freight train, detached at Allamont, got away from rear brakeman Thompson and ran three miles through the Big Four yards, crashing into the east end of the Union depot, totally demolishing that part. There were 19 wild cars in the train and the crash was terrible. The depot is in ruins and eight cars are piled up on South street. A big hole is knocked in the Barker, Fotteral & Brown shoe factoi^ on the north side of South street. Harry Washburn, a cabman, was badly injured and his horses were killed. No one else was hurt, but three policemen had narrow escapes. The Big Four eastbound passenger train stood on the main track and there would have been scores of people killed had not switchman Harry Brighty ran down and turned the wild train on a side track. Ilis act was one of great danger, and he is the hero of the day. Brighty's presence of mind saved the lives of many people. The wild train came from the east. When the Union station was partially demolished in 1893 by a wreck, the train came from the west. As it stands the depot is in great danger from both sides. Night ticket agent, McCormick, was penned up in the wrecked depot last night and narrowly escaped death.

An .'"Esthetic Young Man In Jail. Bert Wilson is a colored youth whose aasthetic sense has been abnormally developed by association with the beautiful and a slim purse, until it has taken on a tinge of kleptomania. Bert was a visitor at the county fair and spent a goodly portion of his time in Floral Hall gazing upon the decorated china with the dreamy admiration of a ceiamic connoisseur. After the failwas over some of this same pottery remained in the building and Albert deliberately burglarized Floral Hall bent upon the laudable ambition of augmenting his china collection. He was discovered by Keeper Weaver, however, and Wednesday was arrested. Mayor Bandel, who is a patron of the arts au'l sciences with a sympathetic feeling for all lovers of the beautifully very considerately encouraged the china collecting craze by^ fining Albert 85 and socking him into jail for 30 days.

Music Hall, October 3.

Press Note: "The Prodigal Father' made a reputation for itself as a laugh provoker at the Ly ceum last night, or rather the people wno are presenting it did that for it. The piece is a farce comedy with a plot that results in some amusing complications and the men and women who are presenting it aided but little by the dialogue, succeeded in making itjvery funny, as they squirm in and out of their several embarrassing predicaments. Last night's audience laughed almost incessantly from the time the curtain was lifted on the first act until it descended on the final act. There are some very clever comedians in the last—people who could make amusing a piece furnishing them even less material than does "The Prodigal Father."

Improvement on the Old Flan. The trustees of the Trinity M. E. church met at the home of Andrew Yount Wednesday and decided to change the plan of the church from a frame to a brick. The building will now be made of brick, with a basement unuer the entire audience room. A very desirable plan has been secured and within four or five days the building committee will be ready to secure bids for construction. Mr. A. F. Ramsey was made chairman of the building committee. The subscription, in the hands of Rev. J. G. Stephens, pastor, is progressing satisfactorily. The church will cost about §8,000.

ANew Office.

B. R. Russell and Finley P. Mount have rented tne room just north of the Wire Fence Company's office oa the ground floor and will fit it up as an elegant office. Mr. Russell will move his building and loan and insurance business there and Mr. Mount will begin the practice of law in the same room. There is no partnership but the gentlemen are merely associated for their mutual advantage and have secured one of the best rooms in town for their office.

A Songster Warbles.

Thursday in the circuit court Wm. Singer filed an answer to the divorce suit brought against him by Miranda Singer. He entered a general denial and the case came to trial. The divorce was finally granted Mrs. Singer, William having given his consent.

A Surprise oil L, C. Ambrose. When Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Ambrose of east Main street, returned from viewiug the parade of the K. of P., they found the premises over-run by friends and relatives who had "happened" in to celebrate Mr. Ambros's 54th birthday. The tables were loaded with a delicious dinner at which all enjoyed. Those present were Mr. Alex Meharry, Lafayette Mrs. Harriet McClure, Holgate, O., Mr. and Mrs. J. 11. Claypool, Mrs. Florence Anderson and Carl, Mrs. Abbie McClure, Frankfort, Mr. and Mrs L. J. Phillips, Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Hinry, Mark M. Dennis, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Cord, jWingate, Mr. J. V.

Still No Indictment.

Terre Haute Express: They are the two men who were arrested in the grand jury room for refusing to testify to facts which the grand jury had good reason to believe they knew, regarding the Big Four wreck at Fontanet. There is yet no indictment against Holioway, but what progress the grand jury is making in the effort to secure evidence sufficient to indict is not known. External indications are to the effect, however, that the investigation has developed a new lead toward disclosures, and that the probability of fastening the terrible crime on Holioway grows less favorable. George Roberts is still kept under close confinement and no person is allowed to speak to him. There is no way at this time of telling what evidence there is against Roberts, but the fact that he is in jail without bond and the precaution being exercised to prevent him conversing with any person outside justifies the conclusion that the officials are in possession of some damaging evidence against the accused. Harth and Black gave bond for their appearance when wanted for trial and were released.

A Fine liand.

TIIE JOURNAL was serenaded last evening by the New Richmond K. of P. band which is a musical organiza' tion of great merit. The band has the very finest musical instruments made and what is more the boys know how to tap their instruments for the best results. The New Richmond band is all right. The Darlington band doubled up with the New Richmond baud in the serenade which only added to the sweet strains discoursed. Mont gomery county is full of first class musical talent.

She Disclosed.

Wednesday Mrs. Jetty Brown, who keeps an evil resort in the south end, was arrested and fined in the Mayor's court. The old hag occupied an hour's time in court in making a loud ex posure of her business and patrons' She called out the names of those who frequent her place and caused some very decided sensations, opening even the eyes of the police as to the devious ways of some people.

l'ostofttce Force Entertained. Howard Craig celebrated his twentyeighth birthday Wednesday by entertaining the entire postoffice force at his home. An elegant and sumptuous repast was served and the evening was most pleasantly passed by the clever folks who sell stamps and get to read all the postal cards. As a slight token of their esteem the force presented .him with a handsome rocking chair. 1) ARLINGTON.
