DISTINGUISHED VISITORS.

The Colonel from Indiana Meets the Colonel from Kentucky.

The Attica Ledger has the following facetious narrative anent the WingateWatterson episode:

John C. Wingate drifted into ^Vttica on last Friday with his attorney, Dan Simms, to interview Col. Henry Watterson concerning his failure to keep a lecture engagement at Wingate on the 4th of last February. Col. Wingate had sold §300 worth of tickets to that entertainment and had $100 more in sight. He had also terrapin and champagne for his distinguished guest, and, altogether, had prepared for the greatest event that his town ever experienced. There was not only disappointment to the 400 people, some of whom had driven sixteen miles to hear Col. Watterson, but there was weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth in Col. Wingate's home at the non-ap-pearance of the distinguished Kentuckian. John hadn't gotten over it when he came to Attica and so he had his attorney attach Mr. Watterson's portion of the proceeds of his lecture in this city, 8100. The two Colonels met and, after quoting the well-remem-bered suggestion of the governor of

VOL. 48-1*0. 13 ORAWFORDSYILLE, INDIANA, FRIDAY, MAROII 20 1895—TWELVE PAGES PART FIRST

North Carolina to the governor of South Carolina, attempted to reach a compromise. There must have been something the matter with the refreshments, for the oftener they par took the further they got from a satisfactory basis of settlement. The Ken tucky Colonel offered 814 to settle the claim, inasmuch as that was the actual cash expense invested, but the Indiana Colonel could not get over the wasted terrapin and the disappointed populace, whose frigid shoulders have been turned toward him ever since the 4th of February. No compromise could be effected and so the $100 was put to soak until May 21st, the time set by Mayor Reed for the hearing of the case. Lawyer Simms could have overlooked the Southern gentleman's haughty demeanor but for a liitle mistake made on Saturday morning when Col. Watterson tapped Dan on tli shoulder, at the Revere House, and with characteristic politeness said "My trunk is ready to go to the depot, sir." Dan's dignity was somewhat ruffled when he was taken for the porter, and if an officer had been handy he would have been tempted to the desperate deed of levying on the trunk.

An Anniversary of the War. "This day thirty years ago," said Capt. II. II. Talbot last Friday while in a reflective mood, "the cavalry corps commanded by Maj.-Gen. J. Wilson, left Eastport on the TenneS' see river, to operate in Alabama and Georgia. Many of the old boys are still living in and around Crawfords ville that took part in that memorable campaign. From the 22d of March to the 10th of April was one continu ous round of skirmish and battle. The fight of West Point, Georgia, which took place the 10th of April, where the rebel Gen. Tyler was killed, vas the last hard fighting of the war. The 20th of April the command arrived in front of Macon, and it was there for the first time that the Federal forces heard through the rebel Gen. Cobb that there had been an armistice agreed to between Sherman and Johnston, and it was also through the same source that the troops learned of the surrender of Lee to Grant and the assassination of President Lincoln. How strange it looked to be ordered to go into camp side by side with a force that had been at your throat for four long years and visit each other in camp and trade coffee for tobacco. At this distant day it will seem to many of the boys like a dream, but it was all stubborn history. How scattered now is that band of 15,000 loyal troopers, how many of them are left alive to-day to soon go scatter flowers over the graves of their departed comrades?"

Senator Seller's Story.

Senator Seller tells a good story which illustrates the opinion obtaining in some quarters that there are no Democrats left. During the session of the late Legislature the Senator received a lengthy letter from the wife of President John, of DePauw, who is a lady foremost in reform measures of all kind. Mrs. John spoke earnestly for Senator Seller's support on the Nicholson bill, the age of consent act and other reform bilis before the Legislature. She concluded by referring eloquently to the "dear old Republican party" and drew a very pretty word picture relative to its mighty achievements in the cause of human liberty and moral progress. In the final sentence she urged the Senator to work that the present Legislature "might add new and undying lustre to its glorious history." Senator teller replied agreeing with Mrs. John in all the recommendations she had made except the last. lie stated that being a Democrat he could not consistently devote much time to adding new lustre to the history of the Republican party. The revelation was probably a shock to Mrs. John, as she failed to respond.

SUSIE SMILES

Ami Sues Young Ora Kutwnbark for Itreacli of Promise.

White, Reeves & Orear have filed for their fair client. Miss Susie Barnhart, a 85,000 breach of promise suit against Mr. Ora Busenbark.

Both parties live south of town and the defendant is the son of one of the very substantial citizens of the county. Susie and Ora became engaged during the glories of the county fair and along about fodder time their love was warm enough to melt beeswax. As Christmas approached, however, Ora began to get shy, evidently having considered how he would have to blow himself for a Christmas present. He quit going to see Susie, who naturally felt pretty tough as any girl would whose hopes were builded up on the promise of marriage and an out of sight Christmas present. She waited however, until satisfied that Ora intended to back out of the entire arrangement and then she went to law.

DGBLE ON POOL SELLING.

He Believes It To Be tlie Bane of the Legitimate Iiuce Track.

The world-renowned Bud Doble has made some very pertinent remarks concerning gambling on the races, and they should be read by those who advocate*pool selling at the Crawfordsville fair. Mr. Doble is one of the racing men who believes in the aboli' tion of pool selling. "I do not mean the occasional abolition of the pool box and gambling of all kinds at the race tracks, or the abolition by a few associations. 1 believe that if there were no gambling of any kind attached to racing on trotting tracks it would be of great benefit. The racing would be better and the attendance would be greater. The average individual is in terested more in trotters and pacers than in any other kind of horses. He drives them on the streets and rides them in the roads. Their speed is of a practical utility. The runner is a gambling device, largely. It was not long ago that the running tracks made a war on pool-rooms, and said the war was declared to protect the patronage at the tracks. In other words, the patrons of the runners did not go to the tracks to bet when they could more conveniently go to the poolrooms. Trotting interests are in no such situation. The racing is clean and has never fed pool-rooms. But it has suffered for the sins of the running tracks. I believe the effort to form an

American Sporting League to protect legitimate sports is commendable. It will do much to put racing on its merits. The National and American Trotting Associations should have taken cognizance of the conditions bejore now. I do not say that in criticism of either, but I believe either or both should have discussed the subject. Probably it was felt that any discussion by either would bear the stamp of self interest as a motive, and it is, perhaps, best in view of that that an ihdependent effort will be made. However, action by the associations would not have injured the standing of either with the general public."

Sappy Beech.

Veedersburg News: "You did not understand our verdict,"was the way a member of the jury who gave Coffinberry from Montgomery county a verdict of SI,020 damages last week against his county. "The facts were proven that the timber placed in that bridge were sappy beech and that kind of stuff was within itself carelessness sufficient to give a verdict, for it will rot and lose what little strength it has in one year." The juryman acknowledged that such a verdict was establishing a bad precedent, but in the face ef the evidence no other result could have honestly been determined upon and he also said that the evidence showed that they had been building .quite a number of bridges out of the same kind of timber, which if be true the county commissioners had best be looking after 'ere more serious results are reported. The verdict, it seems, is not such a bad precedent for damage seekers as it is a warning to our sister county to make a better selection of its timber—in short what's worth doing is worth doing right. ,.

A Sal Accident.

The friends of Mr. and Mrs. WalterSmith. late of this city, will be pained to learn of a sad accident which befell their infant child about a week ago in Chicago. The baby, about six months old, fell out of its cradle and broke its back. The doctors have placed it in a plaster cast and state that the cast cannot be Derinanently removed until the child is three years old. It is now perfectly helpless and can move only its hands. 9'V5

FRACTIOUS FRUITS.

An Aged Kcproliate Who Abuses His Wife Because She Oous to Cliurch.

Uncle Billy Fruits, of Waynetown, has been causing no end of talk for the last few days because of his outrageous treatment of his wife. Billy is about 70 years old but is violent in his hatred and denunciation of churches. His wife, however, is a religious woman and clings to the faith of her youth in spite of the protestations of her husband. She is obliged to attend church unknown to him or else abide unpleasant consequences. Some time since Fruits learned that his wife occasionally slipped away to attend divine services and it made him furious. He kept a watch and a week ago Sunday he found that she was in the congregation of one of the Waynetown churches, lie went home straightway and locked the doors and windows, refusing to admit her. She was obliged to seek shelter in the home of a friend and it was about three days before her irate husband would again receive her to his home.

He warned her against a repetition of her offense but the influence of the revival service was so great that she yielded to temptation again Saturday night and slipped off to church. Fruits learned of her whereabouts and she was again locked out. He refuses now to allow her to come about the place. The citizens of Waynetown are highly indignant at this rank intoler ance and are indulging in some harsh talk.

Some weeks ago Fruits1 married daughter, Mrs. Courtney, became converted and joined the church. Fruits sent her word that he would have nothing more to do with her at all and would disinherit her.

Death of l'hu le Voris.

Phiube Voris was born in Butler county, Ohio, Nov. 1(1, 1810. She died the 21st of March, 1S!)5. In 1855 she married Benjamin Snyder and soon afterward moved Indiana, in this county, and took up their residence on a farm three miles northwest of this city, and lived there for many years To them were born two children, Jen nv and Samuel. The daughter, Mrs. John B. Swank, alone survives, Benjamin Snyder having died in 1892, and Samuel, the son, in 1888, and the mother last Thursday. They have had three grandchildren, who are all liv ing. Mrs. Snyder has for thirty years been a member of the Baptist church and a consistent Christian. She had kindness and unselfishness of heart that endeared her to her to all who knew her. While along the journey of life she has sown seeds of goodness and now reaps the harvest of the faithful. Death had no terrors for her, On the other hand it was a glorious gate chat led to life eternal. From her room she could see the monuments of Oak Hill cemetery blazing in the morning sun and she would often say. "I will be so glad when the sun shines on my monument." The grave reaps no victory over her and death had no sting. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. G. P. Fuson at the home of J. B. Swank, on Blair street Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Inter ment at Oak Hill.

Death of E. M. Klllott.

Ezekial M. Elliott departed his life at his home, 012 west Perry street, at 4:30 a. m. Mar. 23. He has been in poor health for several weeks, but was con fined to his bed but a short time, and passed quietly away last Saturday to the enjoyment of the life beyond. He was born in Butler county, Ohio, Oct 10, 1817, and came to this county when six years of age, his parents locating on the farm now owned by John L. Davis, six miles south of this city. His early days were spent in the toils incident to pioneer life and he was always an energetic and industrious worker, a kind husband and father and a good neighbor. He married Catherine Hudson in September, 183!), and nine children were born to them, of whom six are living. His beloved wife preceded him to the spirit world in 1887. He was a consistent member of the M. E. church for nearly sixty years and died in triumphant faith of eternal life in Heaven. The funeral occurred from his late home at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon, conducted by Dr. II. A. Tucker. Interment at Oak Hill.

The [.Christian church was packed Sunday, both morning and evening, the new pastor, Rev. Creighton, late of Illinois, making his initial appearance in the pulpit as pastor of the charge. Mr. Lreighton is an unusually able and eloquent speaker and both audiences were highly pleased. His sermons are strong and logical and liis delivery is earnest and pleasing. He will prove very popular and doubtless do great work for the church. On next Sunday he will deliver a sertnon introductory to his work in Crawfordsville.

AN ARTESIAN GUSHER.

A Wonderful Flow Struck ly Well Driller* Near New KOHS.

Special to The Journal. NEW Ross, March 25.—On the farm of Isaac Vanniee, a mile west of here, a firm has been drilling a well and last Saturday the climax was reached at a depth of 140 feet. A gusher was struck aud the water spurted into the air eight feet high and has never ceased. The flow is from a 3-inch pipe and has a tremendous force, throwing out 500 gallons of water an hour, or 13,140 gallons daily. The water when analyzed is found to contain rich quantities of mineral water, especially of an iron nature. It is the only artesian well in this vicinity and to the awed it is a curious phenomenon. To-day black sand is being forced out and from the appearance it will affect^ the many mineral springs just cast of here.
