COTION-tflSE,

A Happy Home Wedding Consummated Last Evening on Weit Main Street.

Wednesday evening at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Hartman, on west Main street, occurred the marriage of their daughter, Miss Mary Hartman Wise, to Mr. Edgar B. Cotton. The rooms of the handsome home were artistically adorned for the happy nuptial event. The lights ic the halls and parlors were shaded yellow and in the dining rooms pink. The chandeliers were draped in smilax, while festoons of ferns and smilax interwoven depended from the mantels. The lattice work between the large double doors of the parlors was also trimmed with vines and flowers.

About sixty guests were assembled at

o'clock, the hour set for the ceremony, when Miss Minnie Richmond, at the piano in the south end of the hall, began playing the wedding chorus from Lohengrin, to which music the bridal party descended the stairway.

The party was lead by a quartette of young ladies who sang the chorus as they came and who took positions about the piano. The quartette was composed of Miss Fannie Binford, costume of blue silk, ribbons in hair Miss Ora Moffett, white figured silk, winecolored trimmings, roses in hair Miss Bess Nicholson, blue figured silk, lace trimmings, roses in hair Miss May Kline pink and white striped silk, real lace trimmings, roses in hair.

Following the quartette were little Misses Lorene Ruffner and Sue Binford in CQ|tumes of white, low neck and elbow sleeves. They took the long bands of heavy white ribbon, which were tied in true lovers' knots, to the newell posts, and crossed through the hall to the east side of the north parlor, forming an aisle. They were followed by the officiating clergyman, Rev. G. W. Switer, of Lafayette, who immediately preceded the bride and groom who came together unattended. The bride was gowned in a most becoming costume of creme satin, .high neck and long sleeves. She wore no veil and carried an exquisite bunch of bride's roses with maiden hair ferns. The marriage service, which was a most impressive one, was that of the Methodist Episcopal church and included the marriage by the ring. During the ceremony Miss Richmond played softly the ever beautiful "Annie Laurie." Upon the conclusion of the service congratulations were extended to Mr. and Mrs. Cotton by the guests. After congratulations the guests were served with a sumptuous wedding collation in courses.

The decorations of -the dining room were particularly beautiful, ferns and roses predominating in the work of adornment-

At the bride's table were seated the bride and groom, Doctor and Mrs. H. T. Cotton, Mr. and «Mrs. D. W. Hartman, Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Cotton, Homer Cotton, Rev. G. W. Switzer, Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Nuckolls, Rent Wise and Robert Hartman.

After refreshments the evening was delightfully passed and at midnight the bride and groom left for the east on their wedding trip. After November 1st they will be at home to their friends at 501 west Main street. The bride was made the recipient of many elegant and handsome presents.

The wedding was in all particulars a most happy one. The groom, who is one of the leading young business men of the city, is a gentleman of great popularity and many good qualities. He has won for his bride one of Crawfordsville's most charming young ladies. whose graces have endeared her to all who knew her. A wide circle of friends unite in wishing Mr. and Mrs. Cotton, all happiness in their married life.

The out of town guests present last evening were: Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Cotton, Shelby ville, Ind. Dr. and H. T. Cotton, Homer Cotton, Zionsville, Ind. Harry Griswold, Peru, Ind. Mrarid Mrs. F. M.

"I have decided that Mr. Jordon will be remembered," said the mayor. "He shall be rain inspector for Kokomo, Lafayette, Noblesville and Fisher's station."

On the evening of October 31, Col. R. G. Ingersol will lecture at Music Hall. It will be Bob's first appearance as a lecturer in our city and he will doubtless attract a large audience-

A Hot Jary.

The Wm. Long insanity case was tried Thursday in the circuit court. As the petit jury had been dismissed the following jurors, good and true, were called to hear the cause. Wilbur G. Houk, T. E. Ballard, A. B. Anderson, George Harney, Squire Wright, Judge Snyder, Wm. Swank Tom Boraker, M. W. Bruner, Wm. Johnson, Squire Hanna, and Squire Tolbert.

It is, perhaps, altogether needless to state that Mr. Long was declared insane.

Searching for his (laughter.

Danville, (111.,) Commercial', A piominent resident of Crawfordsville, who has very good reason for withholding his name, was in the city to-day in search of his daughter, who left home Monday.

He Knni Wild Through the County and Finally End* 11 In Career Witli a Revolver.

John Jones was a timber buyer in the employment of the Childers saw mill at New Market. He was a drinking man and Wednesday week he went to Indianapolis where he indulged in a big spree. He returned to New Market last Saturday morning and attempted suicide by swallowing twentyfive grains of morphine. By heroic medical attention his life was saved and on Sunday he was much better but that night had an attack of delirium tremens. On Monday he was better again but Monday evening he began marching about his garden carrying a lantern and armed with a big revolver declaring that he was hunting whitecaps who plotted against his life. The town marshal, Mr. Warbinton, and Constable Gray then watched him until he returned, but that night he escaped and ran off.

Early Tuesday morning he met Milton Surface in the road and drawing the revolver on him pulled the trigger. For some cause the weapon failed to act and Mr. Surface did not give him a second chance to plug nim. About a mile west of this scene Jones was seen by a Mr. Hammond who was cutting corn. Jones rushed past him through the field waving the revolver over his head, and bellowing incoherently. Mr. Harwood called out and asked him what his hurry was. Jones stopped and with a wild look cried out imploringly for him not to tell any one which way he had gone.

This was the last seen of Jones alive. Thursday as he had not been seen or heard of, a search party of about fifty was organized at New Market to search the Balhinch hills where he was last seen. The party began the hunt where Jones had last been seen by Mr. Harwood and took the general direction he had pursued. At oat one mile further on in the heart of the woods the dead body of Jno Jones was found. It lay in a clump of bushes and a big bullet hole in the breast and the revolver at his

B.ide

told

the tale of insane suicide. The body had evidently been lying there since last Tuesday, but owing to the coolness of the weather was not so badly decomposed as might have been expected. Strange to say the remains had not been preyed upon by the small animals of the wood. The spot where the body was found is an unfrequented place in the heart of the famouB Balhinch hills. Coroner Barcus was summoned at once and will doubtless render a verdict of suicide, the result of an insane delusion.

Jones leaves a family of six motherless children. They will doubtless be cared for by relatives

The Honon Flyer. I*

The management of the new Monon, or properly speaking, the new administration of the olii Monon, has by its progressive and able management practically rebuilt and equipped during the last four years a road which in all its departments now compares most favorably with the very best lines in our country. Millions of dollars have been wisely and judiciously expended in bringing up the road bed ta its present state of perfection. On the heaviest and best quality of ties every mile of track has been relaid with ninety pounds to the yard first quality steel rails. Abetter and safer track cannot be found in this State. In response to the public demand for rapid transit this up to date management has inaugurated a new fast train service. The special feature of the new time card effective next Sunday, Oct. 20, will be the "Monon Flyer," a new finely equipped train for accommodation of through business. The new train will leave Chicago at 10:15 a. m., Lafayette 1:43 p. m., Crawfordsville 2:28, Greencastle 3:09, Bloomington 4:10, arriving at Lousville 7 p. m. The returning train will leave Louisville at 7:30

m.,

Bloomington 11.05, Greencastle 12:09 p. m., Crawfordsville 12:55, Lafayette 1:45, arriving at Chicago at 5:30 p. m. This will be the faBteBt long distance train passing through Indiana. All other passenger

trainB

will run on

much the 6ame time as present. The new card will be published Saturday. The present management of the Monon has by fair and honorable treatment of its patrons inspired confidence all along the line. Long live the Monon and. the "Monon Flyer."

Challenge Answered.

To the Editor The Journal. Last week the JOUBNAL contained a communication to the effect that Miss Hurt, one of the contestants in the county graduation contest had challenged the winner, Miss Remley to a trial of their oratorical merits a»»4 that Miss Remley had ideclined. Now it so happens that at the time of tho writing of the communication Miss Remley had not even received the challenge and hence could not have declined it. However, that is of little $ purpose except to show the animns evidenced in this affair. Miss Remley declined the challenge and her letter I written to her teachers Mr. and Mrs. I Couberly through whom the challenge was extended to her speaks for itself. The letter is as follows:

WESLEY, IND., Oct. 10th, 1895,—MBI AND MBS. COUBERLY,—Dear Friends and Teachers,—Your letter came this morning somewhat in the nature of a surprise. Knowing the decision at the contest must have been given without the least degree of partiality, as we were not even acquainted with the judges, I would not care to cast any reflection upon their judgment by accepting the challenge.* My health will not admit of accepting now at any rate, as I go to Indianapolis this week to undergo a surgical operation and possibly would not be able this Winter. I spoke that day under great difficulty, being at that time under the' Doctor's care, and had been all Summer. In all good faith and sincerity«

The play itself, as a literary and high toned production, however, was not up to what Mr. Downing has pre-* sen ted here in former years, although it was, perhaps, put on better than any previous play. The tone of "Helena"' is questionable. The hero is guilty of an offense for which negroes are burned down South and white men are lynched up North, yet he is made to appear as a very adorable sort of a creature and altogether lovely. There is too great a tendency in the modern drama to make "good the final goal of

Que Allen won new laurels Thursday and in the free-for-all trot at Viacennes he easily vanquished in three straight heats the heretofore champion half mile trotter, Poem. Thia makes Que Allen the champion half mile horse. Poem was backed heavily but was not in the race, Que Allen winning each heat with ease. The best time made was 2:103 which was not bad considering the poor condition of the Vincennes track. Que Allen has made a wonderful record this year and has won first in eightteen out of twenty races with second place in the two races he lost.
