THE WOOL MARKET.

Cra\vforl8ville

AVill, As Usual, 1$e the

Biggest Wool Market In the State.

The time of year is now approaching when sheep shearing- is contemplated, and it will not be long before the clip will begin to roll into town.

Crawfordsville is, as is well known, the largest wool market in Indiana, there being a greater amount handled here and at better prices than at any other point in the State.

Because of unfavorable legislation, wool is not bringing the price it brought two or three years ago and many of the Indiana markets have closed. Others have declared that limited quantities will be purchased at low prices. Crawfordsville is the only market to declare that it will begin at last year's prices—from 10c to 15c a pound.

McClure & Graham are preparing to purchase and state that they expect to handle as much as ever. The clip in the county will be short, because for the last two years the lambs have been sold for mutton, but then thousands of pounds will be brought in from neighboring counties, whose markets have either closed or declared for a low price.

Joseph Goldberg, the old reliable hide and fur dealer, will also be in the market to purchase wool at the corner of Grant avenue and Lafayette Pike, opposite the old brewery.

W. H. Ellis, of Boston, has been in the city for several days and may induce J. J. Insley to buy for him. Crawfordsville, at any rate, will be the great market of the State, as she has been in the past.

PROF. I. M. WELLINGTON.

FTe Will Remain Here Next Year as Superintendent of tlie Crawfordsville Schools.

For some time past rumors have been going the rounds to the effect that I'rof. I. M. Wellington would not act as Superintendent of the Crawfordsville schools next year, but would return to Michigan. Just how such rumors became current is not known, but they are utterly groundless. Prof. Wellington has not yet been re-elected but the school board emphatically states that he will be at the proper time. "The schools," said a member of the board, "have never been in as good a condition as they are to-day. Everything is running smoothly and the work being done is of the best. The corps of teachers is the excellent and there will be very few changes next year. The board is contented to let good enough alone."

Mrs. Jane Hinkle.

Mrs. Jane Hinkle died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. John Wright, near Whitesville, April 18, 1895, after two years of great suffering. Her home had been with her daughter for eleven years. Her patience in her trials was great. She had been a helpless invalid for two years. Her daughter and husband's care and devotion can only be re wared by the promise to tney that honor father and mother.

Jane Randal was born in 1832 and in 1852 was married to Simon Hinkle. Five children were born to them, three sons and two daughters. Two sons are "now living in the West. Her yougest daughter,

Mollie, preceded her

mother a few years to that better land. She united with the Christian church in 1850 and was an earnest and faithful Christian until death. She was left a widow in 1868 and by her untiring industry and patience raised her family to be honorable men and women. Her funeral was preached at Whitesville by Rev. Johnson. ller four sisters, a son and daughter with many relatives and friends followed her remains to the Harshbarger cemetery. Christ said, "Come unto me all ye that are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest. M.

Making It Go.

Will Maxedon reports that his brother Tom's flexible buggy roller is proving a great success. Buob & Scheu, of Cincinnati, have its circula* tion in charge and Tom attends to its manufacture. Every buggy that goes out of Cincinnati now has the flexible roller, two hundred sets being made every day. Buob & Scheu are beginning to advertise it extensively as a good thing and the invention is rapidly coming to the front. It promises to make a fortune for Tom and Will too, the latter being interested in it.

^Flrat New Wool Bought.

The Youiit Woolen Mill Company on Wednesday purchased the first large lot. of new wool offered for sale in the county. It was purchased of Newt Compton and brought fifteen cents a pound. It all graded straight.

MORE TROUBLE.

H»rvi'y Ferguson, the Crawfordsville Wife Deserter, Arrested on a Serious Charge.

Harvey Ferguson, who deceived and deserted his girl wife, and was a few days ago convicted in the courts and given the severest punishment pi-e-scribed, is in more and more serious trouble. While the young man was on trial for wife desertion, the testimony of the discarded wife disclosed the fact that Ferguson had given her a drug to thwart nature. Through the efforts of Sant C. Davis, Findley McNutt and L. D. Leveque, who were employed to prosecute young Ferguson, the evidence of the wife was taken before the grand jury. Further investigation resulted in an indictment being brought against Ferguson, charging him with criminal action. He was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Mitchell Monday an I subsequently released on a bond of SI,000, his mother and Mrs. Curren becoming sureties. Besides the criminal indictment on which he was last arrested, Ferguson's wife has a case pending against him for support. She also has a suit against her mother-in-law for alienating the affections of her husband. Charles Ferguson and Maud Ferguson, his wife, are made co-defendants to this action. The attorneys emploj'ed to prosecute Ferguson say they will not allow the case to drag along in the courts from term to term, but will force the young man to a trial, and will put forth their best efforts to secure his conviction.

All the parties in the case came originally from Crawfordsville.

Cliauncey UePew On Trilby.

In a recent speech Chauncey M. DePew said: "We have had our litera-tui-e, which the German scientist especially deprecates, where the good old novel which amused and inspired us and brought us in contact with humanity and with nature for the betterment of our mind and soul was succeeded by the modern experiment. The new novel came on to preach doctrines the new novel came which bored us with sermons, and which sent us to bed with theilieadache, because of problems and possibilities which threatened the disruption of society, of the family and of all in which we had invested our hearts, our hopes and our future. The closing hours of the nineteenth century are getting rid of these novels by rushing frantically, with outstretched arms and mouths wide open, to human nature, humble, fascinating, plain, common, human nature, in Trilby." (Laughter.)

They Were All ltiglit.

Monday George Fuller, of north of the city, came in with two youngsters he had arrested on the suspicion that they had stolen a team of horses. The team was a good one and the boys mere children. The older one, named Anson Cristler, was fifteen, and the younger, Jesse Fred, was twelve. They claimed that they had lived at Brooke, Ind., and that they were now "traveling about the country for their health." Their stories did not agree and there were several contradictions, so Marshal Grimes telegraphed to Marshal Whiting, of Brooke, for information. A message received at noon from Whiting stated that the boys were all right so they were released from custody.

An Klgliteen Months Old J"»lvoice.'

Mrs. Emma Spingler, of near Orth, called at THE JOURNAL Monday evening and made the statement that she had been divorced from her husband, Henry Spingler, and wanted the public to know it. The divorce was granted on the 14th day of November, 1893, and the same is entered of record on Order Book, No. 55. Paul & Brunei- were her attorneys.

The tent will be pitched on the Crawford lot on west Main street it having been ascertained that this lot is large enough after all. This is a matter for congratulation as the location is very central.

PART SECOND

SHE DIED ALONE.

Mrs. Henry Brown Is Alive and Cheerful at ll:UO O'clock and. a Livid Corpso at ll!:.10.

A very distressing death was that of Mrs. Henry-Brown Monday at her home on Liberty street. In the morning she was in excellent health, cheerful and full of plans for the future. Before 1 o'clock in the afternoon she was dead. Her husband, who is the well known teamster, was home at 10:.'JO o'clock and left his wife with Miss Cordio Hutts, the two laughing merrily when."' he went out. Miss Cordie remained until 1:30 when she went home. At 12:10 Mrs. Howard Shular, who lives next door, stepped into the Browns' to borrow a step ladder. She walked into the house and was horrified to find Mrs. Brown's dead body

lying

on the

floor. By her side were a pan of water, a syringe and some liquid in a cup. There was froth around her mouth indicating that she had died in pain.

The post mortem examination of Coroner Barcus developed the fact that Mrs. Brown came to her death in attempting to use drugs of whose power and properties she was ignorant. Death was caused by a shock to her neivous system and was in nowise contemplated by her.

The deceased was a daughter of John Wilkinson, near Alamo, and was a lady generally popular with her neighbors. She leaves a husband but no children. Her age was thirty-eight years.

The funeral occurred Wednesday at 10 o'clock a. m. from the Christian church in Waynetown.

FATAL ACCIDENT.

Charles Youug Loses Ills Life Ky the ISreakiug of a Guy Kope While Raising a ISarn.

Special to The Jojrnal. SHANNON DALE, April 34.—A most dis

tressing accideut occurred 3 miles east of here in which Chas. Young, an industrious carpenter of this place, lost his life. For several days the Young brothers have been engaged in building a barn for Wm. Cory, and yesterday the breaking of a rope caused the fatal accident as stated, doing the work instantly and with hideous disfigurement. The accident occurred while the victim was engaged in the raising of the bent in the roof with block and tackle. The guy rope broke and the pole fell, striking Mr. Young on the head.

Mr. Young belonged to the I. G. 0. F. of this place and had inanv friends. He leaves a wife, who is prostrated over the sad affair. The funeral occurs Thursday.

Mr. Young was raised in Crawfordsville and was a brother to the widow of Judge Holloway.

Nearing the Century Mark.

John Earl, who lives one-half mile west of Waynetown, ^will be 97 years old next September. He was born in New Jersey, emigrated to Ohio, and sixty years ago came to Indiana and settled on the farm where he still lives, originally consisting of 1(S0 acres. His first wife died about forty years ago and his second wife about twenty years ago. He has three children, all married, and all well advanced in life. The old gentleman is hale and hearty, though his hearing is slightly defective. Otherwise he is in perfect health and his mental faculties are remarkably vigorous. He has been an active member of the Christian church for the last sixty years, and has lived up to his profession as near as it is possible for man to live. He was originally a Whig and then a Republican and still takes an active interest in all political questions. He bids fair to round out a full century.

A Delightful Kvening.

At the beautiful residence of Mr. and Mrs. George Smith, one mile west of Crawfordsville, the Ladies' Aid Society of Mt. /Aon church gave a spider web social Monday evening for the purpose of collecting funds for the benefit of the church. Fully one hundred guests were present to enjoy the hospitality of the evening. The Messrs. Shanklin and others rendered some very difficult compositions of the most classical composers and sang the latest songs of the day. The departing guests pronounced the social a grand success and one long to be remembered by all.
