IN ASHES.

The New Market Saloon Again Disappears Voder the Kindly Influence of the Incendiary Torch.

On Dec. 20 about 10 o'clock the New Market saloon was discovered to be on fire and as no one hustled very hard to suppress the cruel, hungry flames,they had it all their own way and made a good square meal, with mixed drinks between every mouthful. The building was burned to the ground, but it has not been ascertained as yet who fired it. It is safe to say the guilty party will never be known, although Vallandingham's ghost is strongly suspected. It's no use talking, a saloon won't go down in New Market. Two or three burnt spots on the ground, left as monuments, ought to bear some evidence to the effect.

PRESIDENT JOHN'S UKASE.

No More I ntnrcollf Riate Football for l)cI'auw University.

The Indianapolis Journal says: "President John, of DePauw University, it is announced, has declared himself opposed to further participation of the DePauw team in intercollegiate contests. It is not known whether he has taken his stand on account of the Thanksgiving day imbroglio or on account of the reports of alleged brutality in the game as played over the country.

President Scot Butler, of Butler University, said last night, when asked concerning the future prospects of football: ''Accounts of accidents to foot ball players at Eastern colleges seem to have added greatly to local opposition to the game. I do not know what action—if any— our college authorities will feel disposed to take. For myself, I hope that the decision of the colleges of our State may not have to be against the game. As this juncture I would ask for a suspension of judgment. I believe that the evils of foot ball are grossly exaggerated in the newspapers, as are all the doings of college students. Foot ball is regarded as a dangerous game. So it is: there is more or less risk of bodily injury in all athletic sports, and I do not believe that foot ball is especially dangerous. True, it has come to us from over the mountains that shocking things have occurred there, but let us not be in too great haste to make up our minds. For the present, at least, 1 prefer to leave out of consideration everything that I have ever read about the dreadful brutalities practiced and the shocking injuries inflicted and received and ,_bear in mind this: that for twelve years I have watched our boys play foot ball and never have known one of them to receive a serious -injury. But I do not wish to argue to question. Perhaps I am all wrong. At any rate the foot ball season is over for this year, and we have ample time to consider the matter.7'

Were After Marsh.

Veedersburg Ncxos: Marsh Nixon has been indicted by the Montgomery county grand jury on a charge of perjury, the particulars of which are difficult to obtain. The trouble, as we can learn, grows out of the sale of a wagon to Granvilie Fletcher, which was sold at mortgage sale. Nixon testifying in a suit to recover cost of same, that the wagon sold for a certain amount, when, in realit3T, in that sale, it did bring that amount, though when it was sold again by Nixon it brought a different amount. Mr. Fletcher and the last purchaser both testified before the grand jury that it brought the latter amount, which contradicted Nixon's evidence, the grand jury not knowing there had been two different sales, one on the mortgage when Nixon's agent bought it in and the other at private sale. As yet Nixon has not been arrested ou the indictment and will not be until Monday, when he will promptly give bond and be released.

VOL. 52—NO. 52 CRAWFOKDSVILLE, INDIANA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 28 1894.—TWELVE PAGES PART FIRST

Will Rebuild the Mill.

J. K. Everson states that he has decided to re-build his saw mill. The boiler is not injured and he has such a large business that it will pay to start up again. The mill will probably be erected on the same spot. He thinks some of leasing a saw mill at New Ross to use until the new mill is ready to run, in order to fulfill some contracts he has on hands.

Bethesda Encampment No. 15, I (). O. F., has elected the following oilicers for the ensuing term:

A KILLING.

The lllplejr Township Kabblt Hunt Results In a Slaughter.

The bi-ennial rabbit hunt of Ripley township occurred last Thursday and was most intense contest yet recorded. The meet was at Ivan Fink's home on the Taylor Thompson farm and the captains chosen were Jim Galloway and Ivan Fink. There were twentyfour men chosen on each side but it is certain that more than that number participated. In the evening it was found that 570 rabbits had been brought in and that of this number Galloway's party had 3.15, and Fink's 215. Fink's party will accordingly provide the banquet for the victors.

The rabbits were brought into town Friday by a four horse team, the wagon being decorated with Hags and festoons of bunnies.

Some of the hunters are openly charging fraud. It is pretty evident that all of the rabbits brought in were not killed Thursday. Some fellows had been hunting all week and came in lastThursday with over sixty apiece. One of these admits that he killed but twenty-two Thursday and another twenty-three. Nimrod Stull, however, protests that he slew sixty single handed and alone.

The cheating was about even on both sides, however, so there can be no kick made. These hunts have occurred bi-ennially for two years, and this is the first time, it is said that the hunting has not been on the square.

A RICH HAUL.

uui

Hunter Slugged and Robbed lty known Men Last friday night.

r«-

Wm. Hunter, of odorous memory, got into trouble knee deep last Friday. Hunter went to the residence of James Howard, near the Plum street station, to collect two or three dollars due him for some work. Mr. Howard was not at home so Hunter started away. As he passed the alley some one stepped out and dealt him a terrific blow in the back of the head. Hunter rememberd no more. He was found lying unconscious on the side walk some minutes later by a crippled boy who was passing along and who gave the alarm. Hunter was unconscious for several hours and seemingly suffered a good deal. When he regained his senses he was taken to his home on south Walnut street, where he still lies in bad shape. He was evidently sandbagged, as the skin on his head is not cut. His face and hands were slightly scratched by falling but otherwise there are no injuries. His vest had been cut open as with a dull knife. His pocketbook containing twenty-five cents and his knife were taken. There is no clew to his assailants.

Trouble in Camp.

The newly organized Democratic club named in honor of Gen. Manson, has started on the down grade with the impetus of a fat man falling off a standpipe. There is a big row on hand but just what is the cause of this unseemly discord is not made public. It seems, however, that the followers of Brookshire gave up the money to put the infant organization on its feet and that when they had done so, Brookshire's enemies, to use the scriptural term of phrase, went in and possessed the land. They began to boss things with a high hand and forced the Hrookshirites to stay away unless in search of trouble. The Manson club is done for now as the Hrookshire people are fighting it tooth and toe nail.

I'rohably Fake.

A special to the Indianapolis Journal from Frankfort says: "Another chapter in the Dr. Owsley and Mattie Wilson scandal, of Darlington, the particulars of which the Journul'x Crawfordsville correspondent has already given, was added here last evening by Miss Wilson and her brother both appearing in Frankfort, both armed, and on the hunt for the gay physician, whom they threaten to kill on sight. While here Miss Wilson employed Judge Suit as her attorney, and detectives will be be put on Dr. Owsley's track to hunt him down."

Henry-HugheM.

A very pleasant wedding occurred at the residence of Rev. G. W. Stafford, east of the fair ground last Thursday the contracting parties parties being George M. Henry and Miss Laura A. Hughes, both of this county. Only a few of the immediate friends of the young couple were present to witness the ceremony which was performed by Rev. Stafford in his usual pleasant manner.

The Attorney-General Asks for a Receiver for the Old Midland.

The old Midland railroad company is to have further trouble. Last Thursday evening Attorney-General Ketcham on the relation of the State Board of Tax Commissioners filed a complaint in the Hamilton circuit court asking for a receiver for the company.

counties is as follows: Madison, $3,02-1.-25 Hamilton, §7,877.(5(5: Boone,$10,037.50 Montgomery. $(,004.'.5 Parke, §1!)1.77 Clay, 80. The State has urged the collection of these taxes from the fact that about §8,000 of the amount belong to Indiana. Not only are the total sums demanded in each instance, but the penalties, costs and expenses are also added.

The plaintiff further avers that cause the road extendcounties, no one treasi u,.i sell a portion of it to ». ... debtedness. ft is als _.ti.. !.r: company is insolvent :i but its roadbed, stations and trains that are now running.

ltoard of Agriculture.

The programme for the annual delegate meeting of the State Board of Agriculture has been arranged. The convention will convene at Indianapolis on Jan. 8, and at the morning session addresses will be made by the President and other officials. Governor Matthews ill deliver an address of welcome in the afternoon, followed by an address by Mayor Denny on "The State Fair." On the second day eight members of the executive board will be elected to till vacancies caused by terms expiring. 11 is stated that J. N. Davidson, whose term expires, is not a candidate for re-election. John

L. Davis will probably be elected in his place, as he is the logical candidate.

Oeatli of John Itutler Jennlgon. John Butler Jennison. second son of Mr. and Mrs. A. C. .'lennison, departed this life Sunday. Dec. 22nd, lS'.it. Although but five and a half years old, he had made many friends ly his attractions and happy manner. His sudden death is an overwhelming alHiction to his inconsolate parents. He was not very sick until Saturday afternoon, when the doctor pronounced his disease spasmodic creup, and not alarming. But in spite of the doctor's prescriptions he grew worse until death came. So bright and sweet, the joy of the house, his sudden dealh is an incomprehensible calamity to his family and friends.

The little boy had been helping his brother get ready for Christmas, and a joyous time was anticipated in that household. Now, all is changed to sadness: yet his parents have the consolation of knowing that their boy is in that land where sorrow is no more, and where there will be no more parting.

The funeral was held at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning. Dec. 20th, at the house.

Working for Cumback.

Indianapolis .Slot: Will Cumback, the political hero from Greensburg, is a familiar character about the Denison house nowadays. Jle is a candidate for governor and makes no bones about saying so. He is doing a deal of electioneering and when his tall, shapely figure is seen, as it invariably is. bending to and fro like a willow in the breeze, it is safe to surmise that he is pouring in hot shot for No. 1. He and Lew Wallace, who is also at the Denison, are two of a kind in dignity and inclinations, and it is said that Wallace is working for his brother author like a beaver.

MORE TROUBLE. SHOOTING AT COVINGTON.

The prayer of the petition is for the appointment of a receiver, that the tax indebtedness may be adjusted as soon as possible.

The Klrod Divorce Suit.

Tne divorce suit of Effie Elrod against George Washington Elrod, of Ladoga,came up in the circuit court Saturday. The plaintiff had a sensational complaint and the defendant a hair raising cross complaint. The plaintiff hammered away all the morning and proved that the vicious and depraved G. Washington had occasionally guyed her. In the afternoon at the convention of court it became known that the defendant could prove nothing more heinous against the plaintiff than a too liberal use of soda in the manufacture of biscuit, so the senseless suit was knocked out of court by Judge Ilarney at the defendant's cost. The parties interested would do well to kiss and make up for a Christmas gift.

An Early Morning Tragedy on the Fnkli* Square of Our Western Neighbor.

Special to The Journal. COVINGTON, Ind.. Dec. 22, 181)4.— About 5:30 o'clock this morning three shots in rapid succession startled thos* who were on the square after their morning beefsteak, and Morton Crane lay dangerously wounded, while Marcus Martin stood close bv with a smok-

no longer. The delinquency in the what had happened. Mark Martin is

was not sober enough to realize

the proprietor of one of the saloons of this city and last night his saloon wait open all night or nearly so. It is supposed that he and the wounded mim had been quarreling in the saloon and renewed the quarrel on the street ia front where the shooting was done. Martin, it is said, fired the first shot which was followed ly a shot from a pistol in Crane's hands. Martiiuagaia iired\ the ball from his pistol taking e:: ..t ,:u. ratie's i:glit breast, '.V ow the nippl* r,i" and downward ii?, ...on I.. .e inches below the :c'' er the skin. Crane's wound is serious but it is thought not necessarily fatal. Lie is conscious and talks freely of the matter. Martin was arrested about an hour after the shooting by Sheriff Moore and is now in jail. Physicians say the chances are about equal that the wounded mat may recover. Martin is of a quarrelsome disposition and always carried a gun and liaB frequently threatened to kill some one at whom he may have become offended. Crane is a laborer who spends much of his time and about all of his money in saloons and likes t* be called "nervy."

A Fine Case.

Saturday morning in the circuit court: Frank Osborn, of Longview, was fined $5 and costs for smashing his sister in a most brutal manner. It appears from the evidence that the sister had thrown a dish at the head of the surly Frank, and so provoked the ire of th« young man.

Osborn, after being fined, swore out a warrant charging Wilbur Ci. Honk, who had him arrested, with provoke Osborn claims that while he was administering chastisement to his sister that Houk interfered and made serious reflections on the generalogy of affiiant, ascribing his ancestry to a lower order of'animals, to-wit, Houk will be tried later ou.

Solid Natural ia«.

It is not generally known. that natural gas can be liquified and solidified, yet Prof. A. R. Whitehall, professor of chemistry and physics at the West Virginia University, has succeeded in doing it after many attempts and has the result of his experiment on. exhibition in his department. It looks like a lump of snow and froze the thermometer 125° below zero. When touched it seems very cold, but in reality is so hot that it instantly blisters the fingers. It evaporates rapidly and disintegrates in contact with the air, sending forth a smoke like phosphorus.

The Judgment Sustained.

The motion to sustain the verdict of the jury in the case of A. J. Twiford against the City of Lebanon, awarding him 825, has been argued before Judg« .Harney, who ordered the judgment entered on the record. Twiford sued for damages from an overflow of water and this was the third trial.
