The" annual county picnic of the Knights of Pythias and their friends occurred last Thursday at Waynetown and was a decided success. The crowd in attendance was large and the town did herself and her guests proud in the way of entertainment. All present were given the best in the land. There were some fifteen visiting lodges present and the parade was a very creditable one indeed. The following programme was carried out in a beautiful grove adjacent to the town:

The following letter, sel'f explanatory in character, has been received here, being written by Congressman Faris to an old friend:

TEBBB HAUTE, IHD., Sept. 21, 1895.— As Dr. Leech comes to you from Centenary, I wish to volunteer to you in the same confidence that has existed oetween us for years, a little of my estimate of him, 1 have beard him nearly eviry Sunday for two years and for ripe' scholarship, elegant diction, intellectual culture and complete sermonizing, all embellished with the adornments of rich culture that comes by a study of history and extensive travel, I have never listened to his superior. This utterance is from the standpoint of a pew holder and an associate outside of the official relations of the church. The Doctor has had almost unusual success here in the financial, benevolent, and Epworth League work of his church^ and every official member of the church with whom I have talked, and that includes nearly every one of them, has expressed his personal high regard of the Doctor. Candidly, I do not understand clearly why he is going away, but he is going and there have been tears in our house over it, and I wish him to be understood by you as measuring up in my esteem according to the words I utter. Dr. Leech does not pretend to be an orator that flashes and attracts in his pulpit work, but in hit zealous fidelity to his duties! in his social conduct with his 'people, and in the religious teaching that abounds in all his utterances, I have reason to believe him a superior man. I feel relieved that he is going to 8uch a center of culture as Crawfordsville, and hope that he will be 'greeted by you and yours as my friend as well as your own, and that he will have a successful pastorale with you.

As ever, yours, etc., O. W. FABIS.

Bloomers Dont Salt Rev. 8am. Bev. Sam Jones, the sensational evangelist, does not favor bloomers and says of them: "Tights have budded and blossomed into bloomers. First the women wore them on the arms and called them puffed sleeves, but now they have gotten them lower down. 1 don't care if every other woman and girl in America were to wear bloomers, if it were the mother of my children I wouldn't want her to wear them. Other men's daughters may wear them, but I don't wantMto see my children wearing them."

Able Sermons.

Dr. E. •. Thomson delivered two able sermons at the First Presbyterian church Sunday morning and evening. In the morning he commented extensively on this excessive freedom of the press in the matter of sensational publications,. offering the suggestion that such publications only tended to invite repetition of the offenses and that they burdened the mind of the reader. Beth his discourses were full of brilliant thought and expression and were listened to by large attentive congregations. At both services a double quartette rendered several appropriate anthems.

Defamation and Assault.

A very sensational suit was filed in the circuit court Saturday, the details of which are doubly interesting from their character and the prominence of the parties concerned.

Through her attorney, G. W. Paul, Miss Edna Campbell, the well known school teacher, to-day filed suit for $10,000 damages against Mary I. Irwin, Myrta Irwin and Robley Irwin, the children of Doctor Samuel G. Irwin. The charge upon which the demand for damages is based is slander, defamation of character and assault.

Miss Campbell alleges in her complaint that she has been a school teacher of Montgomery county for many years, and that she is a chaste woman of unimpeachable character and of good repute that on Thursday, Sept.

19, 1895,

she was employed in the

office of Dr. S. G. Irwin as bookkeeper, keeping the books of his practice and of a saw mill in which he is interested that on tho evening of that day the daughters of Dr. Irwin, Misses Malry and Myrta, entered the office as she was leaving her work and begun to abuse and insult her in unmeasured terms. They called her a "chippy" and made many false, libelous and slanderous charges against her that they then called in their burley brother, Robley, who seized her, and shoved, jerked and threw her out of the office onto the pavement that they continued their insulting and abusive language after she fell that all of this outrageous conduct was in the presence of Dr. Irwin and other citizens of Crawfordsville. Miss Campbell further states in her complaint that she was badly injured in her spine and side by the fall and that she is now under medical treatment. She demands damages in the sum of 910,000 and all proper relief.

MisB Campbell, the affiant in this case, has always sustained an excellent reputation in this county. 6he has made her own living and has been the support of her aged mother for mapy years. She has taught school all over the county, though chiefly in Ripley township,{and has always been regarded as a fine instructor. Not a few are conversant with her devotion to her brother, John Campbell, who, it will be remembered, was sent to the penitentiary for life for a murder committed at Alamo. MIBS Edna Campbell devoted herself to securing him a pardon and after nearly twenty years of sacrifice and devotion her efforts were crowned with success and her brother pardoned.

The charges made in the complaint are rather surprising. Dr. Irwin's family has always been a rather quiet one and this is the first occasion of ony such outbreaks. The progress of the caa# will be watched by the friends and acquaintances of the parties concerned with rather^absorbing interest.

A Step Towards Good Roads. Senators Duncan and Holler, who, with Senator Ellison, were appointed by the last general assembly to investigate prison labor and report thereupon at the next session of the Legislature, met at Indianapolis the other night and began their primary work. The question of using convicts in the construction of roads, a system of employment that ]p being pursued in some 8tates, was especially considered. Warden Harley of the Northern prison, who was with the Senators, expressed himself in favor of such employment. The committee will visit the prison in a few days and later will go East in search of information.

He Won't Wear Diamond sYoung Mr. Burke, of Parke county, evidently prefers Wearing diamonds this winter to eating snow balls. He came to Crawfordsville the other day and went to -Smith & Duckworth's lumber yard, where, in the artless simplicity of youth be nipped a diamond glass eutter which had been left in the office unchained. Mr. Burke departed and it was a day or so before the big brilliant was missed. Marshal Grimes was then started on the trail and found Mr. Burke husking corn. He at once acknowledged the theft and gave up the stolen property. He will not be prosecuted.

Staflbtd's Mew Work

Linden Leader-. R$v. J. M. Stafford preached his first sermon at the Methodist church last Sunday morning.. Mr. Stafford seems to be a very earnest worker and will doubtless give general satisfaction to the pjsople here. By the new arrangement Linden, Kirkpatrick and Romney are in the same eirt&it.

DEATH OF ABEL S. HOLBROOfi.

An Aged and Respected Citizen Away Monday Afternoon.

FaiHi

__

I

Monday afternoon shortly before 2 o'clock occurred the death of Abel S. Holbrook, at the family residence on south Walnut street. Mr. Holbrook had been iA failing health for several years and for the past six months his death occurring on any day would hardly have occasioned surprise.

The funeral occurred on Wednesday at 2 o'clock in the afternoon from the family residence, under the auspices of the G. A. R.

Abel S. Holbrook was born June 14, 1821, in Braintree, Massachusetts, and was a son of William and Rhoda (Stetson) Holbrook, both natives of the same state. William Holbrook was a mannfacturer, but failing in business he then worken in leather. He was a soldier in the war of 1812. and his father was a lieutenant in the revolution. Atifel S. Holbrook attended a common school, and early began the trade of shoemaking. In 1845 he worked in Dayton, Ohio, six months, then went South for the purpose of travel, visiting many parts. He also worked in Springfield, Illinois, was in business in Missouri, and followed his trade in Jacksonville some three years, He spent much time in traveling, going to the (Rocky Mountains, and in a return trip from Denver, Colorado, to St. Joe, Missouri, he walked a distance of 750 miles, carrying whatever gage he had on his back. travels he suffered many never hesitating to give away the little he at any time possessed to those that were hungry. He returned to Indiana, and in 1862 enlisted in Co. I, 4th Ind. Gav., 77th reg. He was afterward transferred to the 7th reg. Veteran Reserve Corps, Co. I, under Capt. Knox. For a time he acted as sergeant, and was discharged on account of disability. He married, February 28, 1866, E. J. (Lewis) Davidson, of Crawfordsville, Indiana. Mr. Holbrook was a Democrat, and voted for Stephen A. Douglas, but cast his vote for Abraham Lintcoin in 1864, and continued a -Btalwart

During privations,

Republican afterward. He belonged to the Grand Army of the Republic. Mr. Holbrook was a man of many parts and was respected and esteemed by all with whom he came in contact He lived a life of rectitude and honor, and in departing leaves & name untarnished and a pleasant memory, His wife and one daughter, Mrs. Loren Benham, of Wabash, survive him.

What a Bicycle Coats.

A boy working in a bicycle factory at Indianapolis laid aside a piece at a time until he finally had enough to build himself a bicycle. The firm discovered the fact and arrested the boy on the charge of, grand larceny. The boy's lawyers proved by actual facts gleaned from the firm and the employes themselves that It cost but 916.50 to place on the market a 970 bicycle, and, therefore, the material stolen by the boy did not •amount to enough to convict him of grand larceny. It has long been known that there is an immense profit in bicycles, and while the price has fallen much in the past year or two, the facts show that there is yet room for a great decrease* in the price of high gradq wheels.

JFarewell Reception.

Laporte Herald: A farewell reception was tendered Bev. and Mrs. J. H. Cissel last evening at the Methodist Episcopal church, by the ladies of, the congregation. (There was a large attendance of members of all denominations! a number of ministers being present. Two nice rocking chairs were presented the worthy couple and refreshments consisting of ice cream and cake were served. Mr. and Mrs. Cissel were the center of attraction, and much regret was expressed by all at their near departure. They will move to Crawfordsville, Thursday. The estimable couple will carry with them many good wishes.

She Died Suddenly.

Coroner BarcuB was summoned to Darlington Monday morning to hold an inquest in the case of Mrs. John MoClure who was found dead there in the morning in her own bedroom. Mrs. McClure was a strong and apparently healthy woman of about twenty years, having married John McClure a year ago last July. She was seemingly in her usual health Monday when her husband went to his* work, he be-, ing a plumber. An hour later she was found dead in her bedroom. It is supposed that death was accidentally caused by the use of some drug, the properties of which she was ignorant.

A Hollow Victory.'

Que Allen had a hollow victory in the 2:80, purse 91,500, at Fort Waynb last Thursday. There ^as a good field of starters, but none of them interested the Crawfordsville horse, he finishing an easy winner every beat. No bets eould be had against him, it beluga foregone conclusion that he would win the race. The time in the three heats was 2:19, 2:16K and 2:15^, not very flossy for a mile track.

WILDER'S BKIGADE.

An Informal Reunion of the Old Soldiers u. at Chattanooga.

During the Chickamauga celebration the Wilder brigade held a reunion which was a meeting of unalloyed pleasure. The meeting was turned into an experience meeting, and every^ body said something: When the enthusiasm had reached its height Col. Cantwell read the following poem, written by Capt. Woods, and intended for reading at the reunion of the brigade six years ago, but which was not read until thiB occasion: A greeting from away From a Spencer scout And can't get into camp to-day.

Dr. Speech's Initial.

Rev. Dr. S. V. Leech occupied the 'M pulpit of the First M. E. church Sunday both morninjg and evening and on each occasion was listened to by large and appreciative audiences. Dr. Leech is a master in the pulpit and his sermons Sunday were scholarly, log* ical and Christian. His hearers were highly pleased and his pastorate he& will doubtless be one of mnch usefulness and profit. k|

Dldaf liw Oateh tho The police attempted Sunday to capture the participants in a "craps" game which has luxuriated for some time in the composing rooms of one of the city papers. The bone throwers were warned, however, and all through a rear window. The game has not been restricted to disciples of the art preservative but numbers among its devotees many of the sons of Ham.
