HICK'S HURLY BURLY.

The Kind of Weather Dished Up for Jan.uary by the St. Louis Divine.

The 2d and 3rd are centers of reactionary movements. On and next to these dates, cold will moderate, barometer will fall, and storms of greater or less intensity will travel from west to east. By the 4th general change to colder.

The storm diagram shows a Vulcan period central on the 7th, but the full moon at perigee on the 11th will tend to draw the disturbances into the latter part of the period—say the 9th, 10th and 11th. Storms of snow and rain will visit many sections during this period, and the whole country will experience storm changes, as indicated by the barometer, temperature and winds. A cold wave will set in behind storms early in the period, following them eastward, and dominating generally until secondary changes succeed in regular order about the 13th and 14th. On and about these dates, look for more storminess with rain and snow, followed by marked changes to colder.

Lafayette Courier: This morning Judge Eabb, of Williamsyort, sitting on the Tippecanoe superior court bench, began the hearing of argument in the case«of the State of Indiana, ex rel. board of commissioners* of Montgomery county vs. George A. Jamison, auditor, and the Tippecanoe board of commissioners. The suit is«to recover 82,000 paid to Haywood and Anderson, attorneys for the prosecution in the celebrated Pettit case. Attorney Johnson, of Crawfordsville, is here to represent his board, and presented his complaint in full to the court this morning, setting forth all the facts and allegations in regard to the appeal to the supreme court, pay for which Messrs. Haywood and Anderson presented their claims to Montgomery? county. J. B. Milner and C. E. Lake represented the Tippecanoe county parties, first withdrawing the original demurrer because of an error in the complaint. The error was corrected and a second demurrer was then filed, after which argument was began on the issue.

VOL. 53-NO. 1 ORAWFORDSYrLLE, INDIANA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 4 1895.-TWELVE PAGES PART FIRST

The storm diagram shows a Mercury period extending from the 17th to the 26th. In this Mercury period falls a regular Vulcan period from 18th to 21st, a reactionary period about the 25th and 26th, the new moon on the 25th and moon in Apogee on the 26th. Two distinct storm disturbances will show themselves during this Mercury period, the first from the 19th to the 21st, but -the most severe being about the 25th and 26th._ Much warmer days will precede the storms of rain, sleet and snow, but«general and intense cold wave will follow close behind them. The last will bring cold weather all over up to about the 29th. The moon being at Apogee, or its most distant point from the earth, may modify the tendency of the new moon to aggravate our terrestrial affairs. We believe that the moon's greatest influence on the earth is exerted when the new moon happens at Perigee, it being then not only between us and the sun, bul nearest to us. We insist that all our readers watch this point closely. The period, central on the 30th, will bring a return to warmer, causing storms during the closing hours of the month.

The Suit for Fettit's Attorneys' Fees.

After hearing the argument on the demurrer Judge Rabb delivered his verdict at 2:30 this afternoon. He sustained the demurrer, decided that the Montgomery county judge had no authority to appoint counsel to carry a case to the supreme court«for the State. A circuit judge has the power to appoint counsel for a defendant, but the State is supposed to be supplied with a representative in the attorney general. He held that legally neither Montgomery nor Tippecanoe county was originally liable for the $2,000 paid to Haywood and Anderson for the supreme court work, but as the former has already p&id the amount the decision will be of small satisfaction. The judge's decision deprives Montgomery of the hope of recovering from this county except through the supreme court. Mr. Johnson will let the matter rest on the demurrer and will take the matter to the higher court.

ASocial Slander.

Covington Republican: A Crawfordsville family, who have been supported by the Relief Association during the winter, have purchased a new piano, and now when the relief committee calls at that house with their usual supply of provisions they wille be treated to sweet strains from the piano such as "Polly Put the Kette On." Aristocratic people, those of the modern Athens.

THE BOYCOTT

Which the Mother Church Has Placed On the K. of P., Odd Fellows and Other Orders.

Considerable interest has been awakened in Crawfordsville by the announcement that the authorities of the Catholic church had forbidden good Catholics to join the Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias and Sons of Temperance, and had ordered all now belonging to withdraw. There are several Catholic K.'s of P. in the city but what action they will take has not been stated.

The orders of the Cardinal are now being read in the churches over the country and will doubtless be read here in a short time. The letter of authority is as follows:

Most Reverend and Illustrious Sir— Your Excellency can not fail to know that the Archbishops set over tue various ecclesiastical provinces of the liepublic af the United States of America have, in more than one of their assemblies, taken council with respect to the societies which have grown up in the aforesaid republic, namely, the Odd Fellows, the Sons

CjlL

Temperance and

the Knights of Pythnra. And yovi must be also aware that the aforesaid Archbishops unanimously decided that the whole question as to these societies should be submitted to the judgment of the Apostolic See. His Holiness, therefore, committed this question to the Most Reverend Satolli and to the Inquisitors General. These, then, in general congregation, had on Wednesday, June 20, 1894, confirated a decision previously made, as to the aforesaid societies, decreed that all the ordinaries throughout the United States must in every way strive to keep the faithful from becoming members of any of the said societies, and must not fail to admonish their people to that effect, and that any thus admonished must be debarred from the sacrament should they fail to abandon or keep aloof from the same societies. This decree His Holiness confirms, and gave it complete effect. It is, therefore, communicated to your Excellency that through you it may be transmitted to all the Archbishops, Bishops and other ordinaries of the United States, and for the due custody of the souls of the faithful, may be by these ordinaries carried into effect. Meantime I beseech Almighty God to bestow all benefits and blessings. (Signed) R. CARDINAL MONACO.

ROME, August 20, 1894.—To the Illustrious and Most Rev. Francis Satolli, delegate apostolic, Washington, D. C.

Your Eminence Illustrious and Most Reverend—By letter transmitted to me on the 20th of November last, through Cardinal Rampolli, his holiness urges that the decree of the holy office sent to me by Cardinal Monaco and herewith delivered to you shall be made public.

The sovereign pontiff, therefore, will see that the decree in question shall be communicated by the Archbishops to ithe respective suffragans, and by them it may be promulgated. With all reverence and affection I remain, your Eminence, illustrious and most reverend, your faithful servant in Christ, (Signed) FRANCIS SATOLLI,

Delegate Apostolic.

To his Eminence, Illustrious and Most Reverend James, Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore.

Malicious Joy.

The Lafayette Journal, commenting on the decision of Judge Rabb in the case of the Pettit attorney's fees, says: "As the matter rests at present Montgomery county has contributed 82,000 of the expense incurred by the famous murder trial. This amount will offset the amount paid by Tippecanoe county to purchase cots, umbrellas and other comforts for the jurors who found Pettit guilty and condemned him to life imprisonment in the Michigan City penitentiary. Messrs. Haywood and Anderson were paid for their services some time ago and can join with the commissioners of this county in looking pleasant. It is not probable that the commissioners of Montgomery county will ask Messrs. Haywood and Andersoon to return the money to them. So far as is known this is the last relic of the Pettit case, and as socn as it is settled by the Supreme court will become simply a chapter in the celebrated case. The trial cost Tippecanoe county dearly, and there is some satisfaction in believing that the score has finally been settled with the small discount of $2,000."

A Vole* From the Tomb.

Danville, 111., News: A citizen from Crawfordsville, Ind., who is in the city says that the people over there are almost unanimous for an electric street railway, and that the Council will probably accept a proposition made by Noah Clodfelter to build one. The citizens of that beautiful little city are on the right road in their lingering hankering for an electric street railway, and may their fondest hopes be realized.

Gen. Wallace Goes East.

Gen. Lew Wallace left Monday for an eight weeks' lecture trip through the Eastern and New England States. He has a large number of engagements and anticipates a pleasant sojourn. Mrs. Wallace will spend the winter in Indianapolis.

A BLAZE OF GLORY.

An Incipient Fire on South Greon Stroe Fxtinguished by Two Men.

A slight blaze occurred Sunday at the house of Mrs. Work, 308 south Green street, in the rooms occupied by Prof. T. G. -Walker, of the Business College. The fire was cause^ by the rafters beside the flue becoming heated. Fortunately Prof. Walker came in, as usual, just when he was wanted, and opening his window gave the business college yell, which was instantly responded to by the ubiquitous T. J. Houston, solicitor for the school, who is ever on hand when the interests of the B. C. require him. After about fifteen minutes hard work, with F. G. Walker on the top of the house and T. J. Houston ably supporting him in the burning room the treacherous element was brought under control, both men working as quietly as if in the school room instructing the young ideas how to shoot ahead of competitors in bookkeeping and stenography. Looking at the ravages done by the fire one cannot help wondering how two men with nothing but a few buckets of water managed to save the house. But two men who have succeeded in building up the Crawfordsville Business College in the fane of the difficulties encountered in 1894 are not the kind of men to be beaten by an ordinary fire. Both Prof. Walker and Mr. Houston are loud in their praises of the presence of mind displayed by Wm. Work.

A Trlile Too Late.

Marshal Grimes is in receipt of a number of letters of inquiry relative to the late Madame Crowe. The last is from Manistee, Mich., and encloses a clipping from a local paper, the article purporting to be an extract from a speech made by Congressman Brookshiro in Congress in which he lauds Madame Crowe and her wonder ful power to the skies. The letter is as follows:

MANISTEE, Mich., Dec. 25.

CHIEF OF POLICE OF CRAWFORDSVILLE. DEAR SIR:—You will see by this clipping what information I want. I am bothered with catarrhal deafness and have traveled all over this country try ing to get some benefit. I just got back from Dublin, Ireland, where I went to see a doctor. Please inform me if there is such a woman there, for if she can do as Mr. Brooksliire says she might be able to tell me where to go to get some benefit. I will go and see her after hearing from you, and if it is true about her will call and see you while there. Hoping to hear from you soon, I remain

Yours truly, TOM MCCORMICK,

Dr. Harper's Opinion.

Dr. Harper, of the University of Chicago, does not agree with the Indiana college presidents or 'approve of their action in putting a restriction on the game of football. "It will not interfere with the game except in Indiana," he said, "and Indiana is but one State. Football is all right in my opinion As far as the University of Chicago is concerned, it will always cncourage and support football as well as other good and popular athletic sosrts. The Chicago football teams have never been charged with brutality or unfair play. They have been beaten sometimes, but the first charge of ungentlemanly action is yet to come."

A State Chautauqua.

The Presbyterians of Indiana have decided to establish a State Chautauqua. It is announced that a sufficient amount of stock has been subscribed to warrant definite action. The stockholders have been called to meet in Indianapolis on January 4 at 10:30 a. m. The location of the resort will'be decided on at that meeting. A committee has made a tour of the lakes of the State, and the choice, it is said, has been narrowed down to Cedar or Bass lake in Starke county, and Turkey lake in Kosciusko county. President Coulter, of Lake Forest University, is to be at the head of the educational department. The Rev. E. S. Scott is to be superintendent.

From A. J. Norrls.

A. J. Norm, writing from Mapleton, Kan., renewing his subscription to THK JOURNAL, says "We have had a very nice fall and winter up to date have not had any snow yet and the ground has not been frozen so but what we could have plowed every day. I was very much rejoiced to know that old Montgomery county rolled up a good Republican majority and that Indiana has been redeemed. Our county went from five to nine hundred majority for the Republican ticket. The Pops are very badly disorganized now and the Democrats are net in it."

Death of Edward Loucks.

Word has been received here by friends of Rev. W. E. Loucks, of Philadelphia, formerly pastor of First church, that his son Edward has just died of typhoid fever. The young man was eighteen years old and had been ill but two weeks.

WILL NOT GET LEFT

Lawyers Wrangling For Fees in the Big Fayerweather Will Contest.

The final settlement of the big Fayerweather will contest drew twen-ty-six lawyers by actual count to Judge Truax's private chambers in New York on Friday morning, and for an hour the twenty-six dickered for the proper bestowal of the costs os the case. William Blaikie, representing the executors of Mrs. Fayerweather, the testator's deceased widow, next asked for an extra allowances This was a signal for nearly all the rest of the twenty-six to chime in, and applications for more money and allowances poured down upon the Judge thick and fast. Judge Truax tried to put a stop to it all by saying that those who did not work in the case should get no pay. But no one would admit that he had not done anything. Finally it narrowed down to the five colleges, who fought the will. Their various counsel got $2,000. All the counsel present agreed that an appeal was likely. This means several years more before the famous estate is settled.

A Hard Fought Case.

Lebanon Reporter: .Unless the Supreme Court reverses the decision of the lower court, the city of Lebanon will be compelled to pay A. J. Twiford $25 damages and to foot the bill of expenses in three law suits, the amount of the costs being about $300.

Yesterday afternoon Judge Harney, of the Montgomery court, who heard the case on a change of venue, rendered judgment on the jury's verdict, which was in favor of the plaintiff and gave him $25 damages and cost of trial.

The fight between the city and Twiford has been going on in the courts for over a year. The plaintiff, who lives on Indianapolis avenue, asked damages for injury to crop and property resulting from an overflow from a city sewer. The case was tried here twice, the jury failing to agree each time. A change of venue was then taken to Montg omery county and the case was tried a few weeks ago.

The city had nineteen witnesses in. Crawfordsville for two days while Twiford had but two. However, the latter wins his case.

Had Twiford lost the case it would have ruined him .financially. He felt, however, that he deserved damages, and persistently refused to drop the case but ordered his attorneys to push it to the end.

A Beautiful Tribute.

Capt. H. H. Talbot has received the following letter from a friend which is a beautiful tribtue to his mother: "It was thoughtful of you to send me papers with articles on the death and burial of your mother. The loss of one sustaining that relation is amongst the greatest sorrows we have to bear, whether it comes early or late in life. My mother died when I was a boy, but the recollection of her form and face, her words and actions and her aims and character, has been, in its silent presence a pleasure to me through all my days. You saw your mother grow old doing good, unselfishly getting her own happiness in

striv­

ing for the happiness of others, and the innumerable remembrances of her that will now come like a flood must surely console you at this time, and certainly comfort and cheer you ever after. Whila I write I remember the countenance of your mother as she looked during the years of our gatherings, so pleasant, in the old home, so long ago, and my heart is touched."

A New Court.

Lebanon Reporter: Dan-Eber Court, No. 19, Tribe of Ben-Hur, is a new secret order of a fraternal and beneficial character organized in Lebanon last night, with a charter membership of sixty-seven. The Tribe was instituted in the Red Men's hall, the work being in charge of Supreme Chief Col. L. T. Dickason, of Chicago, Supreme Scribe, F. L. Snyder, Chairman Executive Committee D. W. Gerard, and Organizer J. W. Stroh, of Crawfordsville. The wife of the latter acted as Tirztkh. There is but one degree in the order and it teaches only the purest lessons and illustrates the highest principles.

Hopeful.

The Y. M. C. A. building will not be sold for two or three months yet and the directors are very hopeful of retaining it as the association's home. There is talk now of the formation of a large stock company to buy the building and allow it to continue as a Y. M. C. A. building. In this way no one would be exactly out of pocket. The place will go for $15,000 or less and cost three times that amount. It might be a good speculation to buy it.
