HOMER GETTING RUDE.

He Sends a Big Hurley Constable After a "Poor Bride" in Indianapolis.

The following from the Indianapolis Sun recounts one of the experiences of Homer Hills at the capitol city, and should serve as a warning to Crawfordsville brides who might contemplate working the tailor:

The piano was going it rattle-de-bang, rich viands were tickling the sensative palates of a score of invited guests, and all was gaiety and happiness, when the door-bell at 949 north Meridian street was violently agitated, on Tuesday, and a servant, in high collar and tooth-pick patent leathers, opened the front door.

He saw a man of medium height, wearing a yatching-cap and a stern countenance. The visitor was Constable Wm. Cook, who was carrying out the orders of Justice Lockman. Cook asked to see Miss Mary B. Towner. She wasn't there in that name, however, as she had, at high noon, become Mrs. Joseph P. Phelan, and the joyous festivity that was in progress was in honor of the event.

The Constable's call was occasioned by the complaint of Homer C. Hills, a ladies' tailor, whose place of business is at 42% north Illinois street, who claimed that the bride owed him a dress bill. Tuesday morning he sent one of his lady employes up to the house to collect the bill of $44. He alleges that the original bill was not receipted, but that another receipt for 824, "paid in full as per agreement," has been prepared and his female messenger signed it. He was not satisfied with that kind of a proceeding and the Constable was sent accordingly.

When the Constable arrived the music stopped, the gentle buzz of tongues suddenly died and tomb-like quietude prevailed. The receipted bill was shown to Hills, who was with the Constable. He still claimed $24 was due him, but was persuaded to put off further legal proceedings until after the festival was over. They returned and a capias for the alleged debtor was issued, and Constable Cook went to the Union Station to catch the bride when she came with her husband to take an east-bound train at 3 o'clock.

H. W. Noble, a brother-in-law of the bride, who lives in Galveston, Texas, met the Constable at the Union Statipn shortly before the bridal party arrived to t»ke a train for the east, and paid the $24 claimed, under protest.

Hot Shot for Samson.

To the Editor of The Journal.

We have felt that reply to Samson Strong was necessary, not that there was any argument to answer, but to give him no excuse for thing that we were completely toppled off our high platform by those huge biblical boulders, which we did not in the least comprehend. Indeed, in our benighted condition, we were only able to blink stupidly at the entire effusion, like an owl under the rays of the noonday sun.

His insinuations regarding our political record are indeed cruel, although like Topsy, we rather plumed ourself on having been regarded as being bo desperately wickeii. In reality, however, our political sins are limited to having composed a campaign song and blown a tin horn tumultuously on the occasion of some victory won by the party to which our paternal relative belongs.

In his efforts to conciliate womankind, he certainly ran the risk of making her very angry when he said "woman is man's equal." Equal, indeed! If we had not believed her to be man's superior in many ways we never would have objected to her setting foot in the quicksands of American politics. R. C. M.

A Change of Firm.

The firm of Cotton & Rife, druggists, dissolved Wednesday, Mr. Rife selling out to Mr. Cotton. Mr. Cotton at once formed a partnership with J. H.Whitenack, who purchased the old Binford corner store last week. The stock of Mr. Cotton's is now being removed to the Binford corner. Mr. Whitenack and Mr. Whitenack are old friends,both being from Zionsville and are both experienced druggists. They will carry a large stock and doubtless do a big business.

The room vacated by Mr. Cotton is now without a drug stock for the first time in years, Dr. Detchon having had possession before Cotton & Rife. There are several firms desiring to secure the location as it is an excellent one. The rent, however, is rather stiff, Mr. Crawford asking §800 a year.

Public Sale.

There will be a great many sales this year aad we want those who contemplate having a sale to remember that THE JOURNAL gets up the most attractive sale bill to be found. We do your work on short notice. When in town call in and see our facilities for doing all kinds of printing. We have really the only complete printing office in the county.

W«re Defeated.

The Montgomery county candidates for door-keeper in the legislature were defeated yesterday at the caucus. There were too many of them to make a good showing.

A BLOODY BATTLE.

A Methodist Minister and His Wife Murdered by Burglars.

Spoclut toTho Journal. INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 10.—William E. Henshaw, a Methodist circuit rider at Belleview, west of Indianapolis, in the edge of Hendricks county, and his wife had a bloody fight with robbers last light. Two burglars entered the house by way of the kitchen and had found $150 that had been concealed, when Mrs. Henshaw awoke and sprang from her bed. One burglar fired a ball through her ahead but she grappled with him and fought him out of the house and into the yard where she fell insensible, in which condition she remains. Meantime the other burglar attacked Mr. Henshaw shooting him through the hip and stabbing him fifty times with a knife, llenshaw fought for his life and with his bare hands beat the burglar into the street. Feeble from blood loss he was unable to hold the burglar and sank from exhaustion. Mrs. Henshaw will die and her husband may not* recover. The community far and wide is in an uproar. The burglars escaped to this city.

Till! CERAMIC COMPANY.

It Is Dickering With the Land and Improvement Company for a Situ.

The Land and Improvement Company held a meeting Wednesday in the office of B. II. Lussell to consider a propo sition made by D. W. Cox, David Hartman and E. E. Spencer.

These gentlemen desire to obtain the old spoke factory property as a site for a pottery plant and on Wednesday made a proposition for its purchase, which the Land and Improvement Co. did not feel warranted in accepting although the matter is still under advisement and it is thought an amicable adjustment can properly be made. The pottery people had on hand some elegant samples of work which they are producing at their present factory, and stated that the business was one of great promise. The ware especially attractive was the glazed ware, which Mr. Spencer produces in its most perfect form by a secret process. The wares of the other factories were presented and the superiority of Mr. Spencer's product was evident to the most casual observer.

The Snpreme Court.

The Supreme Court of Indiana, with its five judges sitting on the bench, was reorganized Monday morning. There was no particular ceremony attending the opening of the new session. The judges merely held the usual consultation and afterward the customary decisions were handed down to the clerk. The two new members of the court, Judge James H. Jordan and Leander J. Monks, took their places. Judge James McCabe was made chief justice. The court will complete its organization by the election of a sheriff January 14. The present sheriff, D. A. Roach, and R. E. Jenkins, assistant clerk of the court under A. M. Sweeney, are candidates for the place.

Roads in Italy.

After the conclusion of Mr. Kennedy's addsess at the road meeting in Indianapolis on the evening of the 8th inst., ex-Governor Porter was called on to speak and he gave an interesting talk about the roads in Italy, to which country he was for four years our minister. Italy, he said, had the finest roads he had ever seen. They were hard and stnooth, and were kept so by a system of continuous repairing—in other words they were never allowed to get out of repair for a single day. Trained and skilled road workers were always looking after them, and as a consequence the roads were always in good condition. And this system, he said, had proved to be less expensive than the plan of letting the road get out of repair, and then reconstructing it.

Will Schlemmer Kesigns,

Will Schlemmer has concluded that life is getting too exhilarating at the Monon station and consequently tendered his resignation yesterday. He will be succeeded by E. J. Bennett, who moves here from Rising Sun with his family.

The mystery surrounding the Schlemmer affair is still unsolved but it seems settled that the connection of any woman with it is improbable. Will is an industrious boy and will have no trouble in securing a position elsewhere.

One Thousand Tons.

Martin & Son broke their record for putting up ice Wednesday, storing one thousand tons of cold comfort in their houses. This is a third more than they ever succeeded in putting up in one day before.

THE LEGISLATURE.

The Opening Session T«-I)ay Marked by Auspicious Work,

Special to Tho Journal.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 10, 1895.—Both branches of the Legislature met 10 o'clock, the first time since 1873 that the Republicans have controlled both House and Senate. Ninety-two members of the Honse were present. Secretary of State Myers presided. R. H. Smith of Tipton county, not called because of contest. Officers selected in both branches as arranged by the caucaus. Speaker Adams' speech advocated conservative but prompt action on all legislation. In the Senate Lieut. Governor Nye presided and objected to appointment of president pro tem, but Senator Newby Henry, of Fayette, chosen over Nye's protest. The Republicans of Northern Indiana about the lobby before the beginning of the session discussed officers chosen by the caucus. Men in northern part of the State are inclined to object, as all the officers but one come from south of the national road and alleged that Senator Wishard promised patronage to secure the best results in close congressional districts. Both branches of the Legislature adjourned at 12 o'clock until to-morrow, when the Governor's message will be read.

Special to The Journal.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 10.—In the Senate Adam Foust contested the seat of John W. lleinar, .of Huntington and Wells counties claiming Reinar violated election laws. Senator Duncan, of Bloomington, says the legislature will have the office of Superintendent of Public Instruction investigated. The House met this afternoon.

RAPID TIME.

The Monon Sends a Flying Special Through Town This Mornitg.

Yesterday shortly after 9 o'clock a special train of engine and four sleepers passed through Crawfordsville going south on the Monon at a flying clip. It was the "Passing Show," the great burlesque company, enroute from Chicago to Louisville where it arrived in time for a full orchestra rehersal. The company showed in MilwaukeeWednesday and left after the performance for Chicago. There the Monon special was taken and the time to Louisville, a distance of 333 miles, was made in eight hours, the train making nineteen slow up and stops.

The time made is readily illustrated by that clipped off between Crawfordsville and Romney. From Romney to Crawfordsville is fourteen miles and it was made in less than fifteen minutes, the train making one full stop at the Linden crossing.

Death of John B. Smiley.

John B. Smiley died at the residence of his son-in-law, James P. Vanscoyoc, near Linden, on Saturday, Jan. 5, from the effects of rheumatism, of which he had been a constant sufferer for the last ten years. Mr. Smiley came to this country from Virginia in 1865 and operated a saw mill at Mace for some time. After retiring from that he worked at the machinist trade until his afflictions came upon him. Since that time he has been unable to perform any manual labor. He was a consistent member of Newlight Christian church at Union chapel and an honorable Odd Fellow, under whose care he has been since his affliction began. The funeral was preached on Monday morning by Rev. Gott and the interment took place at Shiloh church, under the direction of New Ross Lodge, No. 397, I. O. O. F. Another brother has answered the call and has gone to the Grand Lodgo above but we mourn not as those who have no hope.

W. P. P.

Did Tall Rustling.

The friends of John L. Davis who accompanied him to Indianapolis, did some great work in his behalf. A determined effeort was made to seat a Putnam county man but the Crawfordsville delegation was too smooth.
