A LARGE GATHERING,

Tlio Montgomery County Y. P. S. C. K. Convention at Darlington.

Special to The Journal. DAM.IXGTON, April

gomery county Y. P. C. E. societies are now holding their annual convention at this place, commencing last evening at the Presbyterian church. The convention was called to order by the President, Miss Mina Wilkinson, of Crawfordsville, who announced that everything was ready for the work, as the programme was arranged. The speakers were all on hand and the good work began by devotional exercises conducted by Rev. Black, pastor of the Presbyterian church. Then came songs aud solos, followed by the appointment of the various committees, after which Rev. R. V. Hunter, of Terre Haute, was introduced and given for his subject "The Mission of the Christian Endeavorers," which he divided as follows: Their duty at home and abroad their ability to perform the same and what constitutes good citizenship. He portrayed, in a very intei-esting and pleasing manner, their duties as Christian workers, and the duty they owe to foreign lands in preparing for and going thereto to teach to the world this Christianity of ours. Mr. Hunter is a man of commanding appearance, force of speech, and is endowed with a fine How of language a man interested in the work and fearless in his speech. For more than one hour Jie held his hearers as if by magic.

This morning a sunrise prayer meeting was held in the M. E. church, led by Mr. Yal Riggin, of Shannondale. To-day the exercises are being held in the east Christian church and to-night they will hold forth in the south Christian church. A large number of delegates are here from over the county and among them we noticed three colored ladies, all of whom are being cared for by our citizens.

This morning our town entered into the spirit and Main street is a sea of flags and bunting. All are striving to assist in the good work and to entertertain the visitors to the best of their ability, and we can but say, long live the Y. P. S. C. E.

Eastern Star Grand OlHcers.

The Grand Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star has concluded its session at Indianapolis. There were 330 delegates present, representing 121 chapters. During the past year 29 new chapters were organized, and the receipts were S2,-1(51.35, with disbursements of SI.(550.01. The following are the names of the new grand officers:

Matron—Mrs. Olive E. McGrew, of West Indianapolis. Patron—A. W. Ilempleman. Richmond.

Associate Matron—Mrs. Jennie .T. Nye, Laporte. Associate Patron—P. E. Hoss, Kokcrno.»

Secretary—Mrs. Nettie Ransford, Indianapolis. Treasurer—Mrs. Eliza J. Moft'ett, Crawfordsville.

Substantial Improvements.

Some of the citizens of east Main street show the true spirit of enterprise. Without waiting for orders from the city council they are having cement sidewalks and handsome stone curbs put in with a four foot grass plat between. CouncilmanEd Reynolds started the ball rolling and the others who are following suit are Mrs. Newton, Capt. Pence and William Martin. Others will probably catch the fever when they see how beautiful it looks. It is thought that Whitlock Place will be improved the same way. Let the good work of beautifying our city go on.

The Memorial Day Achlrens.

The memorial committee of McPherson Post, consisting of II. II. Talbot, W. P. Herron, J. N. Sanders, L. B. McClamrock and T. T. Munhall, have invited Dr. J. F. Tuttle to deliver the address on Memorial Day, and the invitation has been accepted. The selection of Dr. Tuttle to deliver the address is both fitting and appropriate. The few remarks that he made at the funeral services of General Mason showed that his increasing years had not in the least lessened the ardor of his patriotism.

Death of Mrs. Harriet K. Stewart.

Harriet L. Stewart, wife of W. W. Stewart, died at her home in Maysville, Ark., April 10, 1895, aged 54 years, 2 months and 8 days. She was married in Boone county, this State, March 24, 1859. She had been a member of the church of Christ about twenty-three years and had lived a faithful Christian life and'died in full triumphs of the Christian faith. She died of dropsy of the heart and lung trouble. Funeral services were conducted by Elder Wm. Johnson.

The Montgomery county Christian Endeavor convention closed its session at Darlington last Friday afternoon. The devotional exercises in the morning were conducted by O. II. Griest. of this city. The five minutes papers on committees were quite interesting. I)r. Summers, of Parkersburg, had Lookout" for his subject: Mrs. F. W. Kritz, of Wavelaud, "Prayer Meeting:"' Melia Cunningham, Darlington. "Social:" Hugh Brower, city, "Missionary." The general discussion of committee work was led by G. W. Perrin, of Thorntown. The address on "Our Pledge" was very able and was given by Rev. S. II. Creighton, who also conducted the question-box series. The morning session was held in the Main street Christian church.

In the afternoon the South Christian church was used and the devotional exercises were led by Mrs. T. J. Sliuey, of Waveland. The address on "Junior Work" was made by Miss Ella McNicol, of Darlington, who also led a general discussion. Rev. Frank Fox, of Ladoga, delivered an address upon "Loyalty," and the closing hour of consecration was in charge of Rev. L. E. Murray, of Ladoga.

The new county secretary is Miss Sallie Fullen, of Waveland:and in case she cannot attend to the duties of the the office, it will devolve upon Mrs. Crist, of Waveland.

The next convention will be held during the second week in May, 180(5, at Ladoga.

Of Interest to School Teachers.

All school teachers should bear in mind that the Newby bill, No. 31, approved March 11, 1805, requires that instruction in the schools shall be made, either orally or by use of text books, as per provisions made by the trustees or school boards, as to the effect of alcoholic drinks and narcotics on the human system. Also, that any teacher neglecting or refusing to so instruct pupils shall be dismissed from employment. That after July 1, 1805, all applicants for a teacher's license shall also be requested to pass a satisfactory examination as to the nature of alcoholic drinks and narcotics and their effects upon the human system.

Di*miKsel

the Darlington Schools.

The wrangle over the building of a new public school iiou.se at Darlington lias taken anew turn, and the new building now seems to be an assured thing. The school board employed an architect to inspect the building and he reported it as being unsafe. This report gradually became known and there was an exodus of school children on last Thursday evening. They took their books home and on Friday morning only 50 out of 220 pupils answered to roll call. There were yet two more weeks of school but the board concluded to dismiss all further sessions. Now the new school house faction have the elephant by the tail and cannot afford to hold on nor let go.

-A Kunaway.

Last Friday about 6 o'clock as Mrs. J. F. Dice and Mrs. George Linn were driving home to Mace their horse became frightened at the top of the Wolliver hill on the Indianapolis road. It ran down the hill, smashed the buggy and threw the ladies out. Mrs. Linn was badly hurt about the lower limbs.

The Marriage of Itev. ,7. M. Mills ami Miss Mary A. Wells.

On Wednesday evening, April 21, at 8 o'clock, at the residence of the bride's parents. Mr. aud Mrs. Wm. Wells, three miles west of Colfax, occurred the marriage of Rev. J. Milton Mills, of Newton, 111., and Miss Mary A. Wells. Just the family and near relatives were present. The bridal couple entered promptly at 8 p. m. and took their position under a large anchor made of evergreen aud trimmed with white roses. The bride was neatly attired in a gown of lavender henrietta, trimmed in china silk, ribbon, and pointed silk lace, and the groom wore the customary black. The bride wore lilies of the valley and carried a bouquet of daisies, carnations and lilies of the vallej7. The ceremony was performed by Rev. W. A. Smith in his most happy manner. Immediately after the ceremony a sumptuous wedding supper was served. The groom is a most estimable gentleman and has formerly been professor of the l'erryville school, but now has charge of the Pilot circuit in Illinois.

Rev. and Mrs. Mills started for their home in Newton, 111., on the following morning, where Rev. Mills has a nicely furnished home awaiting their arrival.

The people of Bethel neighborhood can illy afford to lose Miss Wells, as she was one of the leading spirits there, but we can cheerfully commend her to the good people of Newton as a Christian lady that will make all with whom she associates better for such association.

Grand Anniversary.

The I. O. O. F. and other lodges observed the seventy-sixth anniversary of the lodge at New Ross Friday. Elaborate preparations were made to have the occasion a glorious success, 1 nor were their efforts in vain. The

Rebeccas and Rathbone Sisters prcpared Adkins' hall for a dining room and the entire hall was taken up with I tables. Each table was loaded with I the finest of meats and oils, aye, even the foods of the gods. The New Ross band was engaged to furnish music and did credit to the occasion. At ten o'clock the procession was formed.

The band headed the procession, followed by Knights, Odd Fellows, G. A. R. Rathbone Sisters and then the Rebeccas. At 10:30 the procession moved east on State to Jefferson, north to Lebanon, west to Main, south to railroad, west to Green, thence north to the M. E. church. There were about one hundred in the procession. After assembling T. A. Adkins delivered a carefully studied welcome address, touching on the origin and prosperity of the order. The response was made by Wrm. Darnell, of Lebanon, in a genial way. Miss Eva Imel read a paper on Rebeccaism, showing a wellarranged manuscript. This was followed by adjournment for dinner, of which all fully enjoyed in the hall. In the afternoon the procession marched to the Big Four depot so escort the speaker of the day. Dr. II. A. Tucker, of Crawfoadsville, to the church. He delivered a fine oration for the good of the order. It was by far the finest occasion that was ever witnessed in New Ross, fully six hundred people turning out to help make it a day of fraternal feeling. The Sisters did themselves credit for the dinner and the brethren for carrying out the programme so perfectly and making it a day long to be remembered by all present. ,J.

Now And Then.

Simpson Montgomery, a prominent resident of Linden, has just returned from a visit to his cousin, Capt. I. II. Montgomery, at Milan, Mo. In 1S30 Simpson Montgomery traveled over the present site of Milan while on his way to Harrison county to visit a brother living there at that time. He made the trip on foot and alone from his present home in Indiana. The venture seems a very fool-hardy one, as he carried no gun and depended principally on friendly Indians and an occasional wjiite man to furnish him food and shelter.

The Indiana Central.

Indianapolis Journal: The Indiana Central Railroad Company, proposing to build anew line of road from St. Louis to Cleveland, will pass north of Ehvood, through Wildcat township, whose citizens will hold a special election to vote a subsidy of $35,000 to secure the road, which it is proposed shall pass through Marion, Independence, Windfall and Tipton.

Sale of the Win, McMahen Farm,

Alf Lookabill & Co. last week sold the Wm. McMahen farm of 240 acres in Ripley township to Jackson McCormick for $9,000.

A HOME WEDDING. ENROLLMENT OF VOTERS.

There are Voters Within the City Limits of Crawfordsville.

In accordance with section 1780 of the revised statutes of 1881, Trustee Hartmau is having a census taken of the voters. Warner Wilhite was employed to enroll the voters of this city, and he has just completed his work. His record shows that there are 2,055 voters within the city limits. With this as a basis and counting an average of five persons to each voter there are 10,275 persons in this city. Some figure but four to a voter, which would give 8,220 population. The enrollment of the voters outside the city, in Union township, has not been completed.

Ill Memory of Mrs. Henry L, Itrown.

Miranda J. Wilkason was born near Alamo July 25, 1857, and was married to Henry L. Brown on March 5, 1874. To them was born one daughter, Edith E., who preceded her mother to the spirit laud seven years ago this month at the age of 14 years. Mrs. Brown was tenderly devoted to this child, and her grief at the time of little Edith's death seemed almost more than she could bear. At an early age in her life Mrs. Brown's mother died and, as she was the eldest daughter, the responsibility of nine children waa thrown upon her. Her conduct toward these little orphans was such that caused all the family to almost reverence her, as she so aptly iitted the place of both mother and sister. She was kind to a fault, was a good wife, mother, daughter and sister, and these attributes combined always make a good neighbor. At the age of 13 she united with the Christian church at Alamo, and ever afterward bore a kindly feeling toward this denomination, although, for some cause, she never united herself with the church since leaving that place. Her husband and her family wish to express their deepest gratitude to the neighbors and friends who were so kind to them in the saddest of all hours—death. Her body was taken to the Waynetown Christian church, where Rev. S. H. Creighton preached a consoling discourse to a large audience. All that was mortal of this good woman was laid to rest in the beautiful Masonic cemetery, by the side of her little daughter she loved so well. E.

The l'ettit Cat.

The old gray and white cat which took up is residence in the court house during the l'ettit trial and which Arthur Stuart declared would prove a mascotte to his side, is still there. Said an official this morning: "The old rascal will lie around here until he gets sleek and fat and then he goes off

a three or four days' tear. He will come back as thin as a rail, all scratched and chewed, dragging a leg and perhaps one eye closed. Lie will be repentant for a few days until his wounds heal, and then dropping his spirit of meekness he again assumes the privileges and authoritative air which has made him a court house charactci. His sprees are periodical and we can always tell when he is preparing to go off on a toot."

A Sunday School Heeord.

Manager Hall of the Wabash College base ball team forgot to awaken Johnny Fry Saturday night when the team left the Gentry hotel at Bloomington for the home bound train. In consequence Johnny was left behind like the girl in the song and the attendant circumstances were just as sad. '1 he next train did not reach Crawfordsville until Sunday afternoon and that was too late for Johnny to attend Sunday school. It was the first time in eleven years that Johnny had missed attendance at the Center church Sunday school and when he failed to arrive Sunday morning the pupils in his class shed tears of syin-
