SOCIAL EVENTS.

A lteception For Mrs. It. L, Jacques ami the Entertainment of the College Seniors and Tlieir I.nlieH.

Saturday afternoon at their home on College Hill, Mrs. J. L. Campbell and Miss Mary Campbell were at home to quite a large number of their lady friends, in hoDor of their guest, Mrs. R. L. Jacques, of Lafayette. The hours were from three to five and from four to six. Floral decorations were profusely displayed in the rooms of entertainment, which presented a beautiful spectacle. Miss Fannie Binford served a delicious punch in the library and in the dining room quite an elaborate collation was spread. The decorations in the dining room were especially attractive and evinced great artistic taste. The affair was a delightful one for all present.

SKNIOIl HEC'EPTIGN.

Doctor and Mrs. G. S. Burroughs last Friday entertained in a most hospitable manner, at their home on south Washington street, the Senior class of Wabash college and their lady friends. The rooms were filled with ferns and light Spring flowers, while the class colors, cardinal and cream, were everywhere in evidence. The Seniors wore their gowns, which stood in striking, although not unpleasant contrast, with the brighter and variagated costumes of the young ladies. A sumptuous repast was served during the evening, the favors being satin bows of the class colors. Doctor and Mrs. Burroughs proved royal entertainers and the pleasant affair will linger long in the minds of the guests as a most happy one.

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.

It Will be Observed in Crawfordsville in Elaborate Style Under the Management of the Knights of St. John.

The Knights of St. John of this city in a 'very enterprising and patriotic manner, have taken upon themselves the work of seeing that the birthday of our National Independence is properly celebrated. They are arranging a programme that will not only attract people from all parts of the State but will also serve to keep our own people at home on that day. The attractions will be a gentlemen's road race, each man to drive his own horse, a running race, a trotting race and a bicycle race. A large prize will be given to the largest delegation of bicyclers from any town in the county outside of Crawfordsville appearing in the morning parade. The famous Webber Zouaves, of Indianapolis, will be present and also a juvenile Zouave company which is said to excell any in the State. A prize will be awarded the best drilled Zouave company and also for the best military or civic organization other than Zouaves. Invitations will soon be issued to all the orders in Crawfordsville and it is to be hoped that the celebration will be general.

Sietrothal Party.

The some twenty ladies who were guests at the 5 o'clock luncheon given by Mrs. R. A. King last Thursday afternoon were most pleasantly surprised as well as charmingly entertained. Just as the party left the parlors upon the announcement of luncheon the hostess informed them that the affair was a betrothal party given in honor of her friend, Miss Evangeline Binford, whose engagement to Rev. Hugh T. Gary, of New York, is announced. The doors of the dining room were opened and Miss Binford, who previously had not appeared, welcomed the guests as they entered, favoring each with an exquisite bunch of LaFrance roses. The dining room was a perfect poem and presented a most artistic and attractive appearance. The windows and mantels had been banked with ferns and flowers and under the mellow candle light the bright blossoms and the rich shades of the spring season appealed eloquently to the love of the beautiful. Floral hearts were suspended between the doors and Miss Binford's seat at the table was profusely adorned with orange blossoms. The table in its arrangement and settings was a masterpiece. It was appropriately heart shaped and the placer, of the several guests were previously appointed, being designated by cards tied with pink satin bows. "A dozen handsome pieces of candelabra set off to fine effect the exquisite service. The luncheon served was in six courses and was perfect in all its details. The affair was one of the most pleasurable and the cordial hospitality coupled with the delightful surprise caused the guests, who were the intimate friends of Miss Binford, to feel themselves favored indeed.

Xlie Next Convention.

The next county Sunday school convention will be held -at Potato Creek Friday, Aug. 4, 1895.

COUNTY SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVECTION

The Mont Successful Gathering of tho Kiml Kver llehl in Montgomery County*

The Montgomery county Sunday school convention held at the M. E. church last Friday was the largest and most successful gathering of the kind ever held in the county. The attendance was phenomenally large and unusual interest was manifested. The church was filled to overflowing soon after the call to order, many town people being in attendance. Before noon over 300 delegates from out of the city had reported.

The programme for the morning was carried out as published and the papers read were of great merit and interest. The address of State President Charles F. Collin was peculiarly excellent. He impressed upon the convention the needs of the State organization and showed how it benefitted the Sunday school organizations in the county, as well as in individual churches. He also impressed upon the convention the fact that more money should be paid into the State treasury for the use of the State superintendent and his assistants.

Upon the conclusion of Mr. Coffin's address a noon recess was taken and the ladies of the Crawfordsville Sunday schools served a bountiful dinner to the out jof town delegates in the church parlors.

AFTEIiNOOX SESSION.

.. While the convention before noon was a success beyond the most sanguine expectations the afternoon services outrivaled everything yet which has been seen in the shape of a S. S. convention at Crawfordsville. The house was crowded to its utmost and great was the number of persons turned away. Under the magnificent leadership of the President of the county union, Charles Ross, the people over the county have been made to realize that the Sunday school work is truly a great work, and the people of Montgomery county must get to work and work as they never have worked before in order to get our people worked up to a pitch that they will do all they can to benefit the cause. The first service of the afternoon was a praise service led by Rev. Pettiford. Then a very interesting as well as instructive service, "The Location of the Schools," led by the president. By the assistance of the delegates, which were from every township in the county, most of the schools were located and, as a general rule, were in good condition.

A very interesting as well as instructive paper was read by Miss Gail H. Vaughn, of Darlington, entitled "The Life of the Sunday school Then followed an interesting talk on the Cherokee Missions by Miss Trotter, of Indian Territory.

The convention adjourned by electing Chas. W. Ross, president T. H. Trotter, vice president Miss Adelia Cox, corresponding secretary and treasurer Miss May me Vancleave, recording secretary.

The Universalis! Church.

The officers of St. Paul church held a business meeting last Friday, every member of the executive board being present, and steps were taken looking to the settlement of a regular pastor. Rev. H. L. Canfield, D. D., of Bellville, Ohio, will probably be here on the third Sunday in June to preach to the people and look the field over with a view to undertaking the work. The executive board also decided to circulate cards for weekly subscriptions to pay current expenses, to be collected by the envelope method. The vacancies in the offices of the Sunday school were all filled. Mrs. Minnie Etter was chosen Assistant Superintendent, Miss Fern Tracy, Secretary, and Miss Edith Long, Qrganist. The school meets each Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock.

Will Fight Nicholson Law.

Indianapolis Sentinel: Robert J. llallis, Secretary of the National

1

Liquor League, recently arrived here from Chicago, has been in consultation with the officers of the Indiana State League regarding the conflict which is to be waged against the enforcement of the Nicholson law. It is likely a suit will be instituted by the State League to test the constitutionality' of the law as soon as it goes into effect, and that this suit will be fought through to the court of final adjudication.

Why Not a Ball Game?

To the Editor The Journal. I notice that the Knights of St. John have prepared to celebrate the glorious Fourth and have announced all sorts of amusements except base ball. Why not make a morning feature of a red hot ball game between two first class teams? That would please hundreds of people and go far toward making the celebration a success. FAN.

BRANSON ACOUITTED,

The Assailant or Wllber 1. lionk Declared Not Guilty.

The assault ana battery case against Enoch Branson, the old gentleman who pounded Wilber G. llouk so unmercifully, came to an end in the circuit court Saturday night, the jury finding Mr. Branson not guilty. The case lasted all day Saturday and during its progress several witnesses testified to Honk's bad reputation for veracity and morals. Mr. llouk was the only witness for the State. A large crowd was in attendance and the sympathy was manifestly with the defendant. The jury was several hours in reaching a decision, juror West holding out for a conviction. One of the jurymen in commenting on the verdict said: "We could not do otherwise. The State had but one witness and he was overwhelmingly impeached. The first vote was eight to four for acquittal."

Mr. llouk is red hot and condemns the verdict in stinging terms, donouncing everybody and everything connected with the case. He declares that the impeaching witnesses perjured themselves. It is stated by Mr. llouk that many of the witnesses who testified against him were his personal and bitter enemies. The others were the neighbors of these men who had heard of Houk from them. A few of \he better men who testified held that llouk was an immoral man because he was not "pious." Mr. llouk states that the whole trouble arose over the adjustment of the estate of Allen Hicks, deceased, and -that his fight against crookedness made him the object of hate on the part of a few men who have left nc stone unturned to do him harm since. He further says that his failure to accept orthodox views has rendered him particularly obnoxious to others who have openly declared that they would "run that infidel out of the country." Mr. Houk states that the testimony given was not relevant but he allowed it to go in so that he might learn of the plans his enemies had adopted.

The defense states that the impeaching witnesses are all highly reputable, substantial gentlemen. That they testified to the truth and will stand by it. Said one: "We could have brought scores of others to testify to the same things had it seemed at all necessary."

The Old Tenth Indiana.

Lafayette Call: The monument committee of the Tenth Indiana met this morning for the purpose of selecting a design for the Chiclcamauga Monument. There were present: President Dr. W. H. Schultz, Lebanon Secretary J. B. Shaw, city Major J. 11. VanNatta, county James Irvan, Swanington Capt. Warren Schultz, Fowler W. F. Ruby, city J. M. Sullins, city, and Capt. M. V. Wert, of Crawfordsville. The design will consist of three large pieces of Bedford oolitic stone, on the front side the regimental badge, and on the reverse side the seal of the State of Indiana, costing 81,000.

ltaces at Frankfort.

On June 12th, 13th and 14th, 1895,the Frankfort, Ind., Racing Association will give their second annual meet. The gentlemen composing the association are Frankfort's best business men, and the lovers of light harness racing will be assured of good sport. Already many of the fastest horses have been entered to contest for the prizes. In the language of their advertising, "go and see the first fast mile of the racing season." As this will be the first meeting in this circuit the attendance will, no doubt, be very large. Reduced rates will be given 011 all railroa Is

A Case of Mistaken Identity. Henry McMains rode to town Friday night to attend services at the Christian church. While he was in the building the police impounded his horse upon the complaint of a gentleman who alleged that it had been standing there since 7 in the morning. He probably had it confused with some other animal as Mr. McMains had no difficulty next morning in proving that he did not come to town until dark Friday evening.

A Good I'reaclier.

Rockville Journal: Rev. T. J. Shuey, of Waveland, Ind., who preached at the Christian church in Rockville Monday and Tuesday nights of last week, in place of L. E. Murry, of Ladoga, Ind., as was announced last week, preached two splendid sermons to a well filled house. He is a preacher of great power, and all who hear him once will not fail to hear him when he comes again.

Approaching Marriage.

It is rumored that -early next week invitations will be issued for the marriage of a very pretty east Market street young lady and a gentleman from out of the citv.

PART FIRST

MEMORIAL SUNDAY.

Its Observance in Tills City—Kev. O. P. I'tiHon's Sermon.

There were but few heads in the procession of veterans Sunday that were not Mpriukied with gray, in the loyal hearted citizen those gray hairs inspired a feeling of deeper sympathy and gratitude and stronger admiration than ever for the brave men who gave the best years of their youth to the cause of the imperiled Republic. These gray haired men who are now mem bers of the Grand Army of the Republic met at 10 o'clock at headquarters of McPhcrson Post. After the Post had been opened in due form H. H. Talbot presented the following resolutions which were unanimously adopted by a rising vote:

WiiEitEA.s, Memorial Day has been set aside and designated as a National holiday, sacred to the memory of the falleu defenders of the Union, and,

WIIEUEAS, the day has been heretofore desecrated by games of ball and other sports, therefore llcsolved, that McPhcrson Post most earnestly protests against any such games and sports, and calls upon all good and patriotic citizens to discontenance the same, and to join with us in the proper observance of the day, believing that this is a duty which they owe to their Nation's defenders, and that as we go year by year to perform the sacred duty of decorating the graves of our departed comrades we feel that all good citizens should participate with us in this service.

The lines were then formed by the Post Commander and with the American colors at the head of the procession the Post marched in a body to the Baptist church and occupied seats\ which had been reserved. The ladies of the Woman's Relief Corps had been assigned seats on the west side of the auditorium. Handsome and artistic decorations met the eye on every hand, the national colors .prevailing, while the portraits of Lincoln, Grant, Logan and Manson held conspicuous positions. All the selections by the choir were patriotic airs,and the programme of exercises throughout was in consonance' of the day.Not the least interesting incident though it passed almost unnoticed was when J. C. Fry stepped to the desk of the minister and left an enve" lope containing a check for 5520, the contribution of the Post to their comrade and the esteemed pastor of that church. The subject of Mr. Fuson's address was "The War of Conquest," basing his remarks on the words of Revelation, "To him that overcometh. will I give to eat of thfe tree of Life, which is in the midst of the Paradit* of God." Much of his address was commemorative of the imperishable achievements wrought by Union veterans, living and dead. As these recurring memorial days arrive it is seen that public interest in them does not diminish. Indeed, it seems to increase. Time magnifies rather than inimimizes the dimensions of the greatest deeds as seen by mankind.

Ladoga Taken Into Camp.

The base ball game last Saturday between the teams of Ladoga and Wabash College resulted in an easy victory for the latter. It was evident from the first that the collegians were playing better ball than their opponents but for all that it was a pretty game up until the eighth inning when Wabash began to hit safe every ball which Leutz threw over the plate.

In the ninth inning with the score standing 10 to 2, Ladoga suddenly began to roar on Herdman's umpiring and finally Leutz withdrew from the box, the shortstop going in and tossing the balls over. This caused the howl of "baby act" from the spectators and caused a bad ending to what had previously been a line1 game. Manager Scott, of Ladoga, however, insists that Leutz withdrew merely because he saw tho game was lost and did not care to overwork his already sore arm. Mr. I Scott objected to tho calling of balls by Herdinan because he stood so far from the plate when the catcher was behind the bat. There were several questionable decisions on both sides, hut Ladoga suffered nothing, two of her three runs being secured by a very' rank decision of Dorsey in the first inning. The final score was 14 to 3 in favor of Wabash. Semple's pitching was the feature of the game, only three hits being made off his delivering, two of which were scratches.

Grand Jury Impanelled.

On Monday a special grand jury was impanelled and begun its Work Tuesday morning. It will indict Mrs. Nelson for the killing of her child and several law breakers now out on bond or in jail. Other work will also come before it. The jury is composed of the following gentlemen: Harvey Miller, Clark t®wnship J. H. Steele, Ripley B. N. Grimes, Brown J. B. Groendyke, George Krug, Win. I Tomlinson, Union.
