CRAWFOKDSVILLE, INDIANA, FRIDAY,

Charles Anabel Finetl For Selling I,iquov On Sunday—HeBIukoBii lSroad Asgertiou.

On Tuesday thu case of tlie State against Charles Anabel charged with selling liquor on Sunday came up before Mayor Bandel. Anabel stood trial and testified IU his own behalf. Officer Martin testified he had watched Anaoel's place and had seen beer sold. Anabel testified that he had sold no beer. Martin had neglected to get the names of the parties who bought the stuff so the case stood. Mayor Bandel found the defendant guilty, however, and fined him S10 and costs. Anabel appealed the case to the circuit court and declares he will fight it to the end. 1 4

On the witness stand Anabel testified that he was selling liquor under a license granted him by the Commissioners a month ago. This statement is not in accordance with the facts in the case. Mr. Anabel was refused license at the time mentioned and his testimony may cause him serious trouble if the prosecutor sees fit to go after him.

A POOR GAME.

Kockvllle Plays Poor and Listless Ball VTith the Y. M. C. A. Team.

The base ball game between the Y. M. C. A. team and Rockville Monday afternoon was not all that it might have been. Crawfordsville played fine ball but Rockville did not. Her men seemed raw and rattled and the contest was a mere walk-over for the local plaj-ers. At no time did Rockville seem in danger of winning as it was apparent to all that Crawfordsville was playing much the stronger game. Several fine plays were made, however, and some enthusiasm was manifested at times. The score tells the fetorv:

How It Occurred.

The following special from Veedersburg gives an account of the Hessler shooting: "Last Saturday night, about 10 o'clock, James Hessler, one of the wealthiest and best respected citizens of this county, was shot and robbed of $G4. Mr. Hessler lives about four miles south of this city. At the hour named Mrs. Hessler was awakened by some one moving about the house, and when Mr. Hessler sprang up he was met by a burglar armed with a revolver, who demanded his money. Instead of complying, the old gentlman grabbed the burglar by the hand in which he was holding the revolver, and a desperate struggle followed. The burglar succeeded in firing one shot, which missed its aim. Soon after he fired another shot, which struck Mr. Hessler just above the right nipple, and ranged upward. The wounded man continued the struggle, however, all the while trying to tear off the black mask worn by the burglar, but after reaching the outside of the house the fellow broke loose and fired again. This shot also went wild. He then escaped. Physicians report that Mr. Hessler is seriously wounded, the bullet striking the lung. No arrests have been made. The robbery is thought to be the work of home talent. The mask and the pants belonging to Mr. Hessler were found a short distance from the house. The wounded man is the father of Hon. Clinton Hessler, who has served two terms as Representative from this county.

Condition of the Chase Fund. The fund for the aid of the blind widow of the late ex-Governor Ira J. Chase, once famous as the "soldier preacher," has reached in the neighborhood of two thovasaud dollars, as the result of nearly two months' effort on the part of the committee, but this is regarded as scarcely a satisfactory return, for a State with a population of oyer two million, and a further appeal will shortly be issued. Of the individual subscriptions so far received fully forty per cent, are from outside States, Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, New York and Washington, D. C., being well represented.

^TEMPERANCE INSTRUCTION.,

The First examination Held ami 11 Text of the Now Operative Law,

There has been no little talk and discussion relative to the new law providing for temperance instruction in the public schools. All teachers will be obliged to teach the eil'ect of liquor on the human system and are obliged to pass an examination on their competency to give such instruction. The first examination was held Saturday, the questions being incorporated iu the same list with other branches of school work. The questions were not so appalling and technical as many had anticipated but were quite thorough. Teachers holding "renewal licenses" are obliged to take this examination on temperance and of the thirty such teachers in the county only six took Saturday's examination. The remainder will have to come in on the August examination and if any should fail they would be iu a sad plight— they simply could not teach. The following is a text of the law" under which the school authorities are now acting:

Section !. Re it enacted by the general assembly of Indiana that the nature of alcoholic drinks and narcotics and their effects on the human system, in connection with tlie subjects of physiology, and hygiene, shall be included in the branches to be regularly taught in the common schools of tlie State and in all educational institutions supported wholly or in part by money received from tl^. State and it shall be the duty of the boards of educational institutions, the township trustees, the boards of school trustees of the several cities and towns in the State, to make provisions for such instruction in the schools and institutions under their jurisdiction, and to adopt sucli methods as shall adapt the same to the capacity of the pupils in the various grades therein but it shall be deemed a suliicient, compliance with the requirements of this section, if provision be made for such instruction orally only and without the use of text books by the pupils.

Section 2. No certificate shall be granted to any person on or after the first day of July, JS05, to teach in the common schools or in an3r educational institution supported as aforesaid who does not pass a satisfactory examination

Hon. T. T. Moore in Town.

Hon. T. T. Moore, of Greericastle, the author of the Moore bill, and Joint Representative of Montgomery, Putnam and Clay counties, was in the city Tuesday. It was hoped that under Mr. Moore's bill we would be able to root out the quart shops by restricting them to the business part of town. It was found however, that the law was applicable only only to saloons when liquor was sold to be di-unk on the premises." Now the quart shop is not allowed to sell liquor to be so drunk. It must be taken away to be consumed. Mr. Moore stated Tuesday in explanation of this apparent error that the matter had been debated by him during the preparation of the measure, but he was afraid that by making the particular provision against quart shops that lie would invalidate the whole bill. Hence he let it alone.

to the nature of alcoholic

drinks and narcotics and their effects upon the human system. Section 3. Any superintendent or principal of or teacher in any common school or educational institution supported as aforesaid who willfully refuses or neglects to give the instruction required by this fact, shall be dismissed from his or her employment.

Section 4. This act shall take effect and be in force from and after the .'iOth day of June, eighteen hundred and ninety-five, (1805.)

PART SECOND

A BUNCH OF BARNS.

A I.ittle Child's Amusement Can Ben olteiiiont for a multitude.

Kx-

O11 Tuesday at 2:.t0 o'clock the fire department was called to the alley running north and south from Jefferson street to Wabash avenue and between Washington and Walnut streets. A big bunch of barns in Haines caused a large volume of smoke to rise and set the whole neighborhood by the ears with excitement. It seems that little Gertrude Barcus, the daughter of Dr. Barcus, who lives in the W. II. Durham property just south of Center church

011

Washington

street, was out in the barn at play that afternoon. The game played is not known but the little child used matches, which she obtained somewhere not known by her parents, and accidentally set the building on lire. Mrs. Barcus discovered the smoke and running out labored heroically tosubdue the iiames. She thought she had succeeded and so she had down stairs. Unfortunately, however, a spark had arisen to the loft and found the dry hay. In a minute, almost, the whole loft was a roaring furnace, the llames being communicated quickly to tlie barn of Henry Wasson, just south and across the alley to the barns on properties owned by Dr. Thomas and occupied by pharmacist Dunn and Win. Lydick. Tlie barns were all in a bunch and although the department was quickly called aud promptly responded all the barns were burning away quite merrily when the scene was reached. The work done was remarkably efficient and a fire that threatened to wipe out a good big section of tlie town was under control by 3 o'clock.

I he barn on the Durham property where the fire originated, that of Henry Wasson and those of Dr. Thomas were ruined. Joe Fisher's barn, south of Mr. asson s, was also damaged. Tlie loss will perhaps amount to

$800

and is thought to be fully covered by insurance.

After lr. Leiwli.

To the Editor of The Journal. CoijKAx, Ind., July 20, 1895.—Last week f. F. Leech, M. D., Secretary of Board of Health, made a statement through the columns of Tine

JOUKNAI,

in regard to the sanitary conditions of the farm where David Miller resides. But it seems to me that the Doctor made some exaggerations. In the first place he says the house and stable are supplied with water from fourteen fooi wells. Water for house use is obtained from an eighteen foot well, and the well heretofore used for watering stock is sixteen feet deep. But how does the Doctor know how "bad the water stinks if one can't bear' to hold the pump handle while pumping"? As I was not at home at the time of the Doctor's visit I do not know how he obtained any of the water so as to know how bad it stinks, but perhaps he employed Dr. Britton to do the pumping while he did the rest. He also states that the cattle are being watered from this well while the sick horse was watered from »water hauled from a neighbor's. Beg pardon but we haye never watered any stock from that well since it was condemned as impure water, which was previous to the Doctor's visit. The sick horse was watered with water from the house, as we were left without any horses to haul water for the sick or well.

That "makeshift of astable" has not been situated on the premises "twen-ty-live years" nor the third of it, hence it is not the "accumulated filth and manure" of the designated time. It has been the custom every spring to clean up as much "filth and manure" as possible but this spring being a very busy one there was not as much done as usual. And that "large foul mud hole used by the hogs and barn-yard fowls" is of recent date, only since the water has not been used for stock, and have been pumping the well dry.

Perhaps the sanitary conditions of the place are not what they ought to be, yet I think the doctor exaggerated in his statement. As a family we are as healthy as most of people are, have never had typhoid fever, nor any other malignant disease and have lived here ten years.

Yes, "bought knowledge does come high" when it costs three good horses to find out what the Secretary of the Board of Health thinks, of the place people are living on. its. David Mili.ek.
