TUB CHRISTIAN CONFERENCE.

The Second Hay's Session at DarlingtonAn Interesting Session.

Special to The Journal. 1)aki,in( tont,

Indiana Christian Conference began its second day's session with a social service led by Rev. C. A. Brown, of Merom, Ind.

Executive work began promptly at 9 a. m. The usual routine business was followed until 11 o'clock, when Rev. D. Powell, of Milroy, Ind., delivered the annual address. Rev. Powell emphasized the principle of giving largely to the service of Christ.

At 1:30 p. m. Rev. G. \Y. Draper, of Danville, 111., delivered an address in which lie plead for'men to consecrate themselves and their all to Christ.

At 2:30 p. m. Miss Ina Bovvers, of Darlington, president of the mission department of the conference, called the mission workers together. It was a very pleasant session and reports from churches showed a marked increase in colections all along the line.

Rev. C. V. Strickland", of Huntington, is present and leading in the song service. He is perfectly at home in the realm of song, and an author of wide reputation.

L. J. Aldrich, D. D.. president of U. C. college, is present in the interest of Merom.

Aug. 22.—The Western

Rev. S. (McXeelv, of Tiosa. Ind., president of the Northwestern Indiana Conference, is adding much to the session by his presence and counsel.

Rev. Iv. E. West, of Kokomo, is also a welcome visitor. Prof. N. Del MeReynolds, president of the Franklinton, N. C., colored school, is here in the interest of his chosen work.

Rev. F. Stovenour, of Portland, Ind., is one of the most profound men of the age, and must be heard to be appreciated. His address last evening before the conference on 'Consecration," was a masterly effort.

The following programme was observed during the evening missionary service:

Song service led by Rev. C. V. Strickland. Reading of appropriate scripture, and prayer by Rev. C. C. Perrin, of Capron, 111.

Sermon by J. T. Phillips, of Grays ville. Text, Mark 16, 15. Rev. Mr. Buell, of Richmond, who is laboring as the representative of the Y. P. S. C. E. extension work, gave an address of twenty minutes, followed by L. J. Aldrich, D. D., who made an earnest appeal for funds to prosecute the work in home and foreign fields.

Rev. D. Powell then appointed Revs. R. H. Gott, Silas -Masteller and C. A. Brown to distribute envelopes among the audience and receive their contributions. For a few minutes the audi ence bowed the head and engaged in silent prayer for divine guidance and direction in the matter of giving as the Lord had had prospered them. It was a moment of solemnity and tranquillity. The result of the collection will be reported later. We hope that the proceeds shall enable very many to be brought to Christ.

The citizens of Darlington are royally entertaining the Christian workers now in their midst. Rev. F. P, Trotter, their beloved pastor, has a kind word for all, and his beautiful home is crowded with guests.

Rev. Miss Jennie C. Page, of Merom, has brought sunshine with her and is scattering its rays in the pathway of all.

Reunion at Camden.

A dumber of persons from here attended the reunion of the^McCain family at Camden Wednesday. It was a great day and the noonday feast was perfect. Those attending from here were Ambrose, John and William Remley and families, Daniel Remley and daughter, E. H. and Frank Remley and wives and Mrs. Elizabeth Remley and family.

Dr. Shotts.

The veteran school master of Madison township is a pedagogue no more. He has laid down that profession to take up another. He has located at Mace and will hereafter minister to the ailments of the sick in that community. If he is successful with the pill-bags as he has been while wielding the birch, Mace will have secured a good medicine man.

A Good Suggestion.

A gentleman who has occasion to pass the watering trough at Yountsville bridge quite often suggests that the water be conveyed across the road by means of pipes. It would be well for the county commissioners to consider this favorably, as by such an arrangement the waste water would How down the hill. As it is now none can get near the spring on account of the mud in the road.

Nino Families KopreBGiUett—Forty-six Persons Present—A Happy Gathering.

Early Thursday morning, August 15, vehicles began wending their way to the beautiful country home of Joel (I. Deere. It was the day for the fifth annual reunion, and soon forty-six relatives were present to renew family memories and to strengthen family ties. Nine families were present and temporarily united themselves into one family circle to insure the occasion a success and a pleasure. The families were as follows: Besides the four immediate members of the family were J. T. Deere, wife and nine children, W. E. Deere, wife and six children, .J. T. Whittington. wife and live children. C. II. Deere, wife and two children, C. A. Canine, wife and child, W. T. Whittington and wife, A. M. Deere, wife and two children, and (1. W. Deere, wife and child. A short, spicy programme was participated in by different members of the family as follows: W. T. Whittington made a few well chosen remarks, setting forth the objects and benefits of the meeting, after which he proceeded to call the roll, insisting that all who were absent should respond, but happily no one responded. Recitations were well rendered by Gertrude and Grace Deere and a solo by Claud L. Deere was listened to with pleasure. A paper by J.

H. Deere closed the programme. He spoke of the beauty and necessity of union in the family, touched upon the moral, intellectual and financial attainments, but especially upon the moral: and closed by making an earnest appeal for professional men and women from the ranks of the family. At the close of the exercises the families immediately retired to the Shades where they enjoyed a sumptuous repast prepared at the hotel by the genial manager, Fred Stebbins. The afternoon was spent in conversation, playing at horseshoe and croquet. Not until the sun was nearing his day's journey did the families go to their homes, each feeling strengthened by the moral, social and literary enjoy ments of the day, and that he was bound to the old home by stronger ties of friendship and kindred relations.

BAPTIST CONGREGATIONAL MEETING

Resolutions Unanimously Passed Asking Kev. G. F. Fuson to Withdraw His Resignation—Has tlie Request

Under Advisement.

A large congregational meeting was held Wednesday night at the First Baptist church to consider the resignation of Rev. G. P. Fuson as pastor of the church. After canvassing the question a resolution was introduced in the form of a request asking Mr. Fuson to reconsider the step he had taken and withdraw his resignation. This resolution was passed unanimously. To this request the pastor has made no formal reply, neither has he indicated as to what he will do. He still has the matter under advisement. The contract between Mr. Fuson and his congregation is that either party desiring to sever the relations must give the other three months' notice. He therefore has until the last of October to make a decision. It may be explained in this connection that Mr. Fuson has not had a call to any other field and it was not because of any flattering inducement that led him to resign his pastorate. He felt that as he had been the pastor for several years some other man would be the means of more good, and it was under these convictions that the step was taken. Whether he can be made to see matters in a different light remains to be seen.

The Wallace Battalion.

The Wallace Battalion is to be composed of veterans whether they belong to the G. A. R. or not, and regardless of rank. The roll now shows the names of two Generals, one Colonel, one Major, one Surgeon, one Assistant Surgeon, four Captains, several Lieutenants, one State Senator, and one Representative, and these are all of the same rank of the boys that carried the muskets. The only condition to membership is an honorable discharge from the service and that the members shall wear dark colored clothes. Straw hats and linen dusters are tabooed.

Lowest Kver Known.

Capt. H. H. Talbot says that there has never been a time when there was less water in Sugar Creek. Wells deepened in the early spring have again gone dry, necessitating this lowering process again.

Corn Hasker.

H. R. Tinsley & Co. have a full-sized corn husker and shredder in store and invite the farmers and machine men to call and examine it. 8-23-3t

DEERE FAMILY REUNION. WHAT IS THIS? GREATEST ON EARTH.

Some l'eople «ono Wild Over tlx* Itopoit That uihoHt in Scun it F«»\v Milt'8 bouth of the City.

For several days rumor has had it that there, was a ghost near Henry Davidson's residence some six miles south of the city. People out that way have been all" agog over this ridiculous story and hundreds of people from Ladoga and the other small towns and the country have made special trips to see the gobblin, 'tis said that the goods boxes of Ladoga are the scenes of thrilling recitals of how we saw the ghost."' Wednesday night one excitable woman from there drove out with a party and saw the man—he is a man ghost—and fainted. Think of it, a new wqman from Ladoga fainting because ehe saw a masculine—ghost. Ye, gods! and little fishes! He was probably frightened at a serpent or his ghostship would have been more courteous while in the presence of ladies. One rubber-necked individual saw the ghost and mistook him for some of his departed relatives, perhaps, for the minute he caught sight of the ghost he jumped from his conveyance and went up to greet him—so In says—and what do you think, there wasn't a thing there, so he says. He violently clutched the air in the neighorhood of his seventh rib, yelled like a Comanche, and gave up the ghost.

The fact is, this sort of thing has been going on out there for a week. People, sane people generally speaking, go there and imagine they see something, get frightened and froth at the mouth like a lot of sick infants in a nursery and come home telling their "three black crow" stories until the thing ifc becoming a ridiculous farce. And what is it all about? Nothing of course. Some natural phenomena mooted into mysterious bugaboos. When asked how Banquo's ghost appears,

ball of fire with steam issuing from the top and assumes the form of a' man with a long flowing beard. His ghostship had best be careful as the chilly blasts are not far away and he may be caught out in the winter time with his whiskers.

Hack load after hack load of people went out from here Wednesday to view his cadaverish countenance, and it is said the ghost's face bore an expression indicative of "that tired feeling." It being the first night he had appeared before a Crawfordsville audience he interspersed his usual programme with several specialties. Several of these were very fine. His "chewing the rag," while not new to many of his audience, was well done. Other specialties worthy of mention are: "Fanning the breeze" and riding the wind," while his song "Out on a fool's errand" and "When shall we two meet again," were great comic hits. And yet if you should ask any of those who were there if they are superstitious, they would straightway answer, Oh! no. They are not. Oh! no.

The Barnum Fakirs Come to Grief. The crowd of fakirs who are following Barnum's show, four of whom figured in the Mayor's court of this city, are having a tough time. They were all arrested at Logansport, where they followed the show two days later. Before being allowed their freedom all were conducted in turn to the city clerk's office, where they were kodaked, ticketed «and turned out, like sheep from a pen. This is the first time that the authorities followed this plan and the departure is commendable. They have secured ten photos as a starter for a rogue's gallery. This will prove a valuable aid to the police, as no one, having seen the likeness, would be liable to investigate the originals. The proceedings attracted quite a crowd of interested spectators who filled the official gallery to the doors.

Appealed.

The case of Doc Britton vs. Charley Vancleave has been appealed to the circuit court by the plaintiff. This case was tried before Justice Hanna and involves the right of possession to some horses, a cart and some harness. The evidence in the first trial seemed quite contradictory.

New Grocery Firm.

Art Davis, the well known grocery clerk, and W. .Brick, a good business man from Frankfort who has recently settled here, have purchased the grocery of H,arry Nicholson on the corner of Main and Walnut streets. They will make things hustle in that end of town.

A Hero.

One of America's greatest artists is dead. Thomas Hovenden is sleeping under the sod at Plymouth. Those vis' itingthe World's Fair remember his inimitable, "Breaking Home Ties."

Prospects Favorable For tli lllggpst Fair t'ruwfortlHville Hag Known.

The days are drawing nigh when the big crowds of people and clouds of dust will again be with us. Said general secretary W. W. Morgan, when approached by a

Joitknai,

they reply that he comes from the ground^ ^has the appearance of a large Montgomery County Races' close|Mon day, Aug. 20th. In this race the horse

man:

"l nless all signs fail, Montgomery county will have the fair of her history from September Dth to 13th. We have had and still have more inquiries for catalogues and information of all kinds pertaining to the fair than ever before. "Special features'.' Yes, we had all kinds inquiries from all kinds of people in this line. There are propositions from lady bicycle clubs, others from the man with the trotting dogs, the Wild West show, the irrepressible balloon ascension, and another from a man who proposes to shoot himself out of a cannon one thousand feet into mid-air and then make the fall with a parachute. •"No. we have not decided what we will have in this line: but speaking about nerve, some of these fellows have it in unlimitable quantities.

One fellow from the east part of the State wanted that we should allow him to exhibit his Cooley dogs here— that ho would make the exhibit free and all he wanted the association to do was to present him with a free pass and furnish the people to buy his curs.

Yes, our purses are larger than usual—ten thousand dollars in all, three thousand for the speed ring. As you will notice, the bicycle races are made interesting. Thomas Ross is superintendent of the bicycle races* and he tells me that he is getting* numerous inquiries in this line. Yes, we have a number of entries for the speed ring and the race course promises much fun for the lovers of this sport. In this connection you may say that all entries in tho 'Home or

must be from this county and never have started in a race and must be driven by their owners. J. J. Insley, superintendent of the rac^ course, says the outlook bespeaks a splendid meet. "The music will be furnished by Montgomery county talent with Johnny Rice as leader."

Mr. Morgan is in Chicago now making arrangements for excursion trainB over the Monon.

THE LEW WALLACE BATTALION.

Itis an Assured Success-One Hundred and Fifty Free Quarters Engaged— Fare V3.30

At the meeting of McPherson Post, No. 7, G. A. R., on Aug. 3, inst., a committee was appointed to invite the veterans of the county and tho adjoining counties to join in a battalion to be commanded by Gen. Lew Wallace in the parade at Louisville, at the National Encampment of the G. A. R., Sept.

11, 1895.

This committee, com­

posed of comrades Travis, Leech and Tinsley, have been at work and report most flattering prospects. They have engaged 150 free quarters in a nice camp, each man to have a good cot to sleep on in comfortable quarters, plenty of good water and meals to be had at 25 cents each at the camp. The names of all who join the battalion are being arranged for publication, giving the company and regiment of each soldier, and the committee is anxious to complete this list as soon as possible so that if the 150 free quarters now engaged are not sufficient for those who want free quarters they can arrange with the encampment committee at Louisville for additional quarters. Is is probable that there will be at least 250 in the battalion, as the veterans from several adjoining counties have signified their intention of joining at the Union Station at Indianapolis in the forenoon of Sept. 10 and going with the battalion to Louisville about noon of that day.

The fare from here via Indianapolis is 83.35 round trip, tickets good till Oct. 5. If any road makes a less rate the same will be made by the Big Four. The committee requests all soldiers who expect to go to send names, company and regiment to either member of the committee as soon as practicable. [By request of the committee will county .papers please publish.—Editor Journal.]

Farm Sold.

J. J. Darter has sold the Henry farm located two and one-half miles east of the city to John Weller. Mr. Weller will improve the farm by building a new residence.

New Suit Filed.

George W. Stout has filed a suit against David C. Hunter, in which a promissory note is involved.
