THE COMMERCIAL TRAVELERS.

The Crawfordsville Contingent Sat Down to Their first Annual Banquet Monday Night.

The Commercial Travelers, residents of Crawfordsville, rang out the old and rang in the new, Monday night and Tuesday morning at theRobbins. It was the occasion of their first annual banquet given in honor of their wives, the sunshine of their rugged and oftimes dreary pathway. For the last week it has been the one topic of social interest among the Knights of the Grip, and the committee of arrangements, consisting of Ira Cadwallader, George. W. Coons, Jeff McDonald, C. M. Waterbury, C. E. Crane and F. C. Smith did all in its power to make the affair most recherche, which was successfully done. At 8 o'clock the tourists, accompanied by their "sunshines," began to arrive, and were greeted by the committee of reception consisting of W. B. Nash, J. C. Wicker, Joe Scott, Chas. W. Johnson, Mrs. W. B. Nash. Mrs. George W. Coons, Mrs. J. C. Wicker and Mrs. C. M. Waterbury, and were ushered into the parlors, where an hour was spent in social enjoyment. A few minutes after 9 o'clock the doors of the dining room were thrown open, and headed by J. H. McCoy, the master cf ceremonies, the company, keeping step to the entrancing music of the Crawfordsville orchestra, took possession of the well appointed and handsomely decorated banquet hall. Holly, evergreen, and flowers were the predominant decorations, the favors being sprigs of holly. After the invocation by Dr. J. W. Greene, the guests, to the number of 76, sat down and discussed the following

Experienced banqueters pronounced it to be one of the most elaborate and best managed spreads ever given in the city, and caterer Jones shared in a meed of praise for the handsome manner and style in which it was served. The toasts were interspersed with the courses of the menu, the first being "The Traveling Man" and happily responded toby J. C. Stevenson. "Country Taverns" was H. M. Harter's theme, who discussed them in a humorous vein. Jeff McDonald spoke on "Our Sunshine," and like Silas Wegg, dropped off into poetry and paid a beautiful tribute to the wives of the commercial travelers. J. E. Ryan gave a humorous and sentimental response to the "Boys of the the T. P. A.," while Dr. J. W. Greene closed with some general remarks addressed to the men composing the association, commending them for their honesty, sobriety, industry, morality, intelligence and all the graces and virtues that go to make a good citizenship. At the conclusion of the "feast of reason and flow of soul" exercises, the banqueters repaired, some to the smoking room and others to the dancing hall. For an hour or more they indulged in the festivities of the giddy mazes of terpsichore, when the cabs, which had been gratuitously placed at the disposal of the tourists by W. O. McFarland, Insley & Morse, and Dock Britton, hurried the happy banqueters home to dream of their approaching Mid-Sum-mer Pic-Nic and the next annual dinner. The affair, in every appointment and detail, was one of the leading society events of the season and the Commercial Travelers of Crawfordsville are to be congratulated in the success of this their first annual banquet.

DELIGHTFUL HOP.

The P. O. S. of A. Coinmandery Dance Last livening a Very Successful Afi'air.

Last evening the P. O. S. of A. Coinmandery gave in its hall what proved to be one of the most delightful dances ever given in Crawfordsville. The hall had been elaborately decorated with streamers of blue and yellow, the order's colors, and with flags. The floor was in excellent condition and six pieces of the Music Hall orchestra furnished the right sort of inspiration all the evening through. Each guest was presented with a double badge with a flower pin in the commandery's colors, one section was stamped "1894" and the other "1895." The "1894" ribbon was worn in sight until midnight, when it was turned and "1895" displayed. The dancing continued until 1 o'clock when all adjourned. There were thirty-five couples present and the floor was just comfortably full of dancers all the time. The dance was a brilliant success in all its details and reflects great credit on the management.

Death of Bishop Knickerbacker.

Rt. Rev. David Buell Knickerbacker, D. D., bishop of the diocese of Indiana, died at 5 o'clock Monday of pneumonia, at his home in Indianapolis. He was born at Schaghticoke, Rensselaer county, New York, Feb. 24, 1833. He was the youngest son of Harmon Knickerbacker, widely known as Prince Knickerbacker.

He is alluded to by Washington Irving aS"",lmy cousin, Congressman," and when Mr. Irving visited Washington he introduced him to President Madison as "My cousin, Diedrich Knickerbacker othe great historian of New York."

Bishop Knickerbacker entered Trinity college, Hartford, Conn., and graduated from there in 1853 he entered the general theological seminary in New York City and remained there three years was ordained deacon by Bishop Potter in Trinity .church, New York, in June 1856, and immediately went to Minneapollis, Minn., as missionary, officiating there for the first time Dec. 7, 1856. H« was advanced to the priesthood by Bishop Kemper, in Gethsemane church, at Minneapolis, on July 13, 1857.

A BIG PORTION.

Wabash College Is to Kecelve One-Twen-tieth of the Residuary Fayerweather Kg ate.

By the last decision of Judge Truax Wabash College will receive $175,000 in addition to the original bequest of 850,000. The decision is best explained by the following from the New York Tribune:

The lawyers appearing in the famous Fayerweather will case went before Judge Truax in his private chambers yesterday to settle the terms of the interlocutory judgment on the Judge's decision setting aside the deed of gift, by which the trustees disposed of and distributed the residuary estate of $3,000,000 to various colleges and institutions. By the terms of the judgment the trustees, Thomas G. Ritch, Justus L. Bulkley and Henry B. Vaughan, are to pay to the Northwestern University $100,000, and of the remaining residuary estate, amounting to $3,600,000, to the colleges mentioned in the ninth clause of his will, one-twentieth part to each college. The trustees are restrained and enjoined from distributing the residuary estate under the deed of gift mentioned in the complaint,and they are ordered to account for all moneys and property which they have received, or to which they became entitled as residuary legatees under the will, before Charles W. Dayton, who is appointed the referee to take the accounts.

The plaintiffs are to recover judgment from the trustees for the costs of the action and the extra allowance of $2,000, such costs to be taxed out of the trust funds in the hands of the trustees.

The costs and extra allowance were the subjects of much discussion between the Judge and twenty odd lawyers in the room. Judge Truax finally decided that Stephen P. Nash appeared for all the colleges and granted him costs and an allowance of $1,000. The same was allowed to Wm. Blakie as the attorney for Mrs. Lucy Fayerweather and the two nieces, Miss Fayerweather and Mrs. Mary W. Achter. Costs were also allowed to Redding & Kiddle, the attorneys for the Northwestern University, and an extra allowance of $100, that was taken off that given Mr. Blakie. The latter announced that he was under instruction to begin an appeal at once, and Judge Truax gave him thirty days to make a case of appeal.

The colleges that will get one-twen-tieth each of the residuary estate of $3,600,000, after the Northwestern University gets the $100,000, are Amherst College, Hamilton College, Williams College, Darmouth College, University of Rockester, Bowdoin, Yale, Columbia, Cornell, Lafayette, Lincoln, Unign Theological Seminary, University of Virginia, Hampton Normal and Educational Institution, Maryville College, Marietta College, Adelbert College, Wabash College and Park College.

"Q. V.'s" Opinion.

Qui Vive, a writer in the Terre Haute Mail, says: Rev. Dr. Hickman, who said Terre Haute was the wickedest city in Indiana, or words to that effect, has taken down, or slangly speaking,, has come off the perch, in the face of adverse newspaper criticism, and says that he "has taken up arms against himself"—that what he said wasn't the hob-nail, square-toed truth. His strictures have been widely copied and commented upon by the State press, but it is not likely that his withdrawal of the charges will receive as universal notice. It is very evident that the Rev. Dr. Hickman hasn't in him the making of a first-class Parkhurst, for he turns tail and runs at the first fix-e, and that is one thing the New York divine doesn't do. The latter has convictions, and courage with them, and he fights it out on his own lines if it takes two or three Summers—as it has. When Terre Haute's Lexow committee makes its appearance—if it ever does— it is quite evident that he will not gather its inspiration from the Rev. Dr. Hickman.

A Business Youngster.

Monday night just before 12 o'clock a boy was born to Mrs. C. A. Foresman at the residence of her parents, Mr.' and Mrs. P. S. Kennedy. The little fellow was up bright and early Tuesday morning, and through his agent and servant, dictated the following dispatch to the Superintendent of Public Instructions of Idaho:

CBAWFOBDSVII.LE, Ind., Jan. 1, 1895. —C. A. Foresman, Lewiston, Idaho:— Just in time to kick the old year out.

PAPA'S TEN-I'OUND BOY.

SHEPHERD-K1RKPATRICK.

A Happy Wedding Consummated on New Year's Eve at the Bride's Home.

The last hours of the old year rolled merrily nway at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Shepherd, graced by the beautiful ceremony that united the lives and fortunes of their daughter, Mayme, and Mr. Edwin Kirkpatrick. About fifty of the immediate relatives of the contracting parties came, each laden with a beautiful and suitable offering to the Shrine of Hymen. Promptly on the strike of eight, Miss Fannie Kirkpatrick began the wedding march, to the music of which the bride and groom entered, preceded by Dr. Tucker. They paused under an arch of holly and mistletoe between the parlors, and Dr. Tucker conducted the ceremony that made them one, in a manner that impressed upon his hearers both the beauty and the vows. The bride wore a handsome gown of cream silk with pearl trimmings, and carried a bunch of bride's roses. The groom was dressed in the conventional black. The assembled guests followed the happy wedding pair to the dining room, where a most sumptuous repast was served. Pleasure was crowned king, and reigned joyously until the pealing of the bells announcing the birth of a new year.

Miss Shepherd has lived here but a short two years, but in that time has endeared herself to a large circle of friends who will bid her a reluctent good-bye.

Mr. Kirkpatrick is one of Tippecanoe county's progressive farmers, having harvested this year 1,500 bushels of "King Corn." He is a welcome guest at many firesides in Lafayette, where his parents reside.

Among the guests were Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Kirkpatrick, Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Shuey and Mr. Will Kirkpatrick, of Lafayette Mr. and Mrs. Boyd MacMillen, of Taylor's Station Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Kirkpatrick, of Anderson and Sam Kirkpatrick, of Sugar Grove.

Judge Burford Keslgns..

From the Daily Leader, of Guthrie, Oklahoma, the official organ of the Oklahoma Democracy, we clip the following:

EL RENO, Dec. 26.—John H. Burford, associate justice of the Supreme Court of Oklahoma, to-day sent to the department of justice his resignation, to take effect January 1st. Judge Burford had contemplated this move for some time. Who his successor will be is a mere matter of conjecture, but it is quite probable that an Oklahoma man will knock the plum.

The Leader says editorially: The resignation of Judge Burford removes one of the ablest jurists this territory has known. Without discussing the policy that retains in office a factor of an opposite political force, which we condemn, it is admitted by all that the second judicial district has been presided over by an honest, impartial, upright judge. With his knowledge of the law and peculiar adaptability for administering it, Judge Burford combines the many excellent and pleasing qualities of a gentleman. His work both in his district and upon the Supreme bench has added the force' of an agreeable personality to a vivid and clear enunciation of the law. The territory is indebted to him for an able line of opinions, and no one ca,n say in bis official acts but that right was done and that justice prevailed.

ANew Year's Dinner.

The family of C. D. Cook is somewhat numerous, being in -reality two families united in one by the second marriage of both. The many children and grandchildren conceived the idea of meeting at home on the 1st day of January for a big dinner and a good social time, so accordingly Frank Cook and family, Charley Cook »and family, Clev Cook and family, Silas M. Dunbar and family, D. V. Pittman and family, Wm. Cook and Frank Thompson, of Kokomo, in all about thirty. The day was most pleasantly and profitably spent as only children can enjoy a day at home with father and mother. The dinner was one of those old fashioned ones, of mother's, we all loved so well. The conversation the good feeling all around gives one an appetite and we feel such enjoyment as we can only feel at home with father and mother.

Kighth Anniversary.

New Year's day Martin V. Boraker and wife celebrated their eighth anniversary by giving a grand dinner to friends and relatives. Fifty guests partook of the delicacies. Music was furnished in the afternooon by some of the prominent young ladies. It was a day to be remembered and each one felt that the first day of the new year had been enjoyably spent.

The Highway Association.

The Indiana Highway Improvement Association, of which J. A. Mount is president, will hold its convention on Tuesday, January 8, at the State House. P. S. Kennedy and M. B. Waugh are both on the programme.
