ABLAZE DOWN TOWN.

An Old Frame House Goes Up in Smoke And Water,

Last Friday afternoon about 1 o'clock fire broke out in the old frame dwelling house just south of Gilbert's bakery on south Green street. The house had just been taken possession of two days before by Steve Allen and wife and both were absent when the fire was discovered. The doors were kicked in and most of the furniture was saved. The fire department was not notified until after the fire had been discovered some time but responded promptly when called and did good work. The roof was torn off and the place badly damaged by fire and water.

Of course as the house was an old shell anyhow, the council would not grant permission for it to be repaired even if permission were asked. There are too many such fire traps in the fire limits already.

The house is the property of John B. Smith, of Kankakee, 111., and the loss is covered by insurance.

NOT A THING

Did Jilmer Crist Do to Harry Nixon ChickenH Cause Trouble,

The blue bloofled chickens of Elmer Crist, of Pine street, have caused the no less violet tinted heart juice of Harry Nixon to flow as free as beer at a dutch picnic. Thereby hangs a tale. For some time past the excellent people in the Crist neighborhood have been missing their chickens. Even pet chickens with bows of red ribbon around their necks would disappear without one final farewell squawk'to note their taking off. Elmer Crist has missed his beloved biddies for some time and when be got home last Friday his wife made him cognizant of the fact that five more had failed to show up at feed time. Failing to show up on such occasions isn't a habit cultivated by Elmer's chickens so Elmer concluded that they were detained against their wills. He suspected that Harry Nixon of the fair grounds knew something of his pets so he set out to enter habeas corpus proceedings against that distinguished young man. According to the story of Mr. Crist he came upon Harry along about the gloaming just as Harry was departing from the grounds with Mr. Crist's pet hen, "Lucile," tucked snugly under his coat. A battle royal was begun at once by the pugnacious Mr. Crist, and Mr. Nixon was reduced to the appearance of the youth who fell in front of a handcar loaded down with Irish section hands and going thirty miles an hour. He was just a little bloodier than the traditional stuck pig and it required not only the administration of vinegar and brown paper, but also a few stitches from the skillful needle of a kindly surgeon to make him presentable in polite society.

Mr. Crist, in his enthusiam, dislocated three of his fingers and passed Saturday in the pleasurable pursuit of soaking them in arnica.

Mr. Nixon has no very distinct recollection of the affray and clings to the impression that he was kicked by a favorite horse.

Dr. Fletcher on Anti-Toxin-Indianapolis

Journal:

VOL. 48—NO. 44- ORAWFORDSYILLE, LETDIANA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1895-TWELVE PAGES PART FIRST

The case of

diphtheria that was treated by dispensary physicians with anti-toxin serum last week and was reported to be on a fair road to recovery, proved fatal Thursday morning. In regard to the use of the anti-toxin Dr. C. I. Fletcher has some very pronounced views. He does not take much stock in its efficacy and thinks it should not be depended upon by physicians until its merits are established beyond any doubt. He fears that physicians will take the reports of cases, similar to this one, in which good results were at first reported and administer the medicine and do nothing more. He doubts the wisdom of such a course and wants to warn the physicians of its danger. He does not say that he does not believe the Berum will do what is claimed for it, but he places it on the ground that it is yet to be thoroughly tested and nntil that is done it should be handled in an experimental manner rand not depended upon for a cure to the exclusion of all other remedies. He favors giving it a fair trial, but at the same time would like to see other remedies used. He has traveled in Europe and has visited the Pasteur Institute, where he has seen the serum made and heard it discussed in all its phases. After seeing all of this he is doubtful and believes .that care should exercised.

Court Adjourned.

The September term of the circuit court closed last Friday. Judge Harney adjourning the court it the morning. The November term will begin on Monday, November 4.

A NEW ROAD.

A Good ISxnmple Set for Other KnterprisitiR ana Progressive Citizens To Follow.

Last Fall the Board of County Commissioners, to ayoid the construction of a bridge over Offiel creek for the accommodation of the neighborhood west of the long iron bridge on the Terre Haute road, constructed a third of a mile of gravel roadjin such a way as to afford the use of the bridge on the Terre Haute road. After the completion of this third of a mile a number of citizens interested in the further extension of this road westward, organized a plan for grading and graveling it through to the old Chambers' Mill site, a little over two miles west 01 the Terre Haute road. Something over $300 was subscribed and expended in the work, and to this sum the Township Trustee, as the law requires, added a like sum, and with the money thus raised the work has been pushed nearly to completion. Many ugly hills have been graded down and deep ravines filled up, and when completed the road will not only be one of the most useful in the county, but will afford one of the most delightful and picturesque drives in the country for those in search of recreation. With this link completed there will be an almost continuous gravel road from Alamo direct to New Boss and thence to Lebanon, in Boone county. This new road runs, most of the way, over high hills and through deep valleys here and there winding around precipitous bluffs and steep hillsides covered with giant oaks and other trees which now cast their autumnal shadows, at noonday, far across the road.

One of the large valleys through which the road runs was known in the early settlement* times as Happy Hollow, and here, tradition tells us, the first settlers used to meet on Sundays and other holidays, to enjoy themselves in such sports and diversions as were common in those days. They were not always elegant and refined amusements, but at any rate they were far less demoralizing than the present-day prize fights, and not quite so dangerous to life and limb as a modern game of foot ball. The road, for some distance runs adjacent to what is known in the neighborhood as the "Buzenbarrack Woods," a forty acre tract in the exact condition in which William Offield found it, on his first entrance into the county seventy-five years ago. One can never pass near or through this gloomy woods, with its huge trees and thick undergrowth, without thinking of Robin Hood and his baud of bold outlaws in Sherwood Forest.

The building of this new road is an example worthy of imitation in other neighborhoods and we doubt not that our wide-awake Trustee, S. D. Symmes, will take pleasure in aiding other like enterprises to the full extent that the law will allow. He has taken a lively interest with the public-spirited citizens who have had thiB work in charge, and many a man who has heretofore pulled over steep and almost impassable hills and through muddy valleys will thank him for the aid he furnished to the enterprise.

The Whiskered Folk*.

The Farmers' Mutual Benefit Association in convention at Indianapolis, indorsed the Nicholson temperance law, commending the Supreme Court for assisting the fee and salary law asked for the rigid enforcement of the laws against gambling and immoral shows at county, district, and State fairs, and declared for a farmers' continental exposition in 1900. There was discussion of the Cuban question, and the association decided that it would be proper and right for this nation to recognize the insurgents as belligerents.

Went to Whlteavllle.

LastFriday night the followingjgenta drove down to Whitesville to attend a box social at White's school .house: John Callahan, Hugh Burns, Maynard Butler, Ivan Myers, Scott Galey and Emery Steele.'

They furnished music for the occasion on mandolins, guitars and French harps. Coming home their team balked, the double trees broke, the farmers enroute were awakened and the watch dogs diid the rest.

A Vicious Dot.

John McCarty, of Whitlock place wants Mike Britton's big and vicious bull dog killed. Some dayB ago his little daughter was bitten by the dog and her hand has badly festered from the wounds. Prosecutor Kennedy holds that Marshal Giimes has no right to- kill the vicious brute notwithstanding that it is not licensed and iB dangerous.

MR. ROBINSON RETIRES

After a Service of Twenty-Six Yearn nt tlie Bij Four Station lie is Succeeded By W. S. laiciis, of Illinois.

It is with genuine surprise and regret that the people of Crawfordsville learn that to-day George E. Robinson, agent of the Big Four at this point, retirees in favor of W. S. Lucas, of Muncie, Illinois. The change was effected by Supt. Riley, of the P. & E. division of the road.

Mr. Robinson has been connected with the interests of the Big Four at this point for twenty-six years, twelve years as operator and fourteen years as agent. The work has been exceedingly arduous but Mr. Robinson has been a most efficient and popular officer. He is among Crawfordsville's most respected citizens and it is hoped that his business hereafter will retain him here.

Of his successor but little is known beyond the fact that he is a trusted employe of the road. He is doubtless a gentleman well qualified for the position.

A COLD MONTH.

Hicks Says November Will Be A ltegular Screamer.

The storm diagram indicates that all the month of November is comparatively free from disturbing causes. In the nature of things, autumnal gales must be expected on and about the lakes and seas, but these will likely fall to the minimum in frequency and force. The storm period originating in October will reach a crisis about the full moon on the 2nd, about which date, disturbances will pasB east of the Central Valley, and a cold wave will be announced in the west and north. From about 3rd to 7th, cold weather will prevail in most parts of the country. Reactionary temperature and storms will center about the 8th and 9th, and will be followed promptly by cold. Snow and rain will result, more or less, at both the above periods.

The 12th to 16th is regular Vulcan period, containing the moon in Perigee on the 13th, and the nqw moon on the 10th. This will be a good time to note whether the greater disturbances occur at the Perigee, on the new moon the two dates being separated far enough to differentiate any perturbations that might occur on each. From about the 13th to the lGth, much change to warmer may be expected, and after a general storm of rain and snow—say from about 10th to 18th— look for a change to very cold. The 19th and 28th are reactionary centers, about which will hinge change to warmer, falling barometer and more rains and snow. About 21st to 23rd sharp cold will reach most parts of the country.

A Mercury period beginning on the 21st, and having its center on the 26th, will run into December. The regular Vulcan period has its center on the 95th, covering the moon's first quarter on the 23rd, and reaching to the 27th. In all probability the most severe storms of the month will occur during this period. As the storm conditions advance from the west it will turn quite warm. Winds will blow from the south and east. The barometer will be very low in the northwest and falling hourly in an easterly direction. Storms of wind and rain will follow within a few hours, changing rapidly into snow and and sleet -in all central and northern regions, and a cold wave of vast extent will sweep down from the northwest as the storms pass out of its way to the east. A November blizzard in the north and west need not surprise about the 24th to 27th. Prepare for the cold which will follow the period, whether or not much rain or snow results. Sleet will be a marked feature of the disturbances.

A Success.

The concert of the Baldwin quartette at Veedersburg last Faiday was a brilliant succeus. A large audience was present and each member on the program was enthusiastically encored. The recitations of Miss Wilhite were also received with the greatest favor. The entertainments of the company are becoming justly celebrated in this section of the state for their excellence and high merit.

Fined S20 and Costs.

Messrs. Blacker and Hurbee, of Colfax got very gay at the basket supper of school district No. 8, of Franklin townshipFriday night. They became so very gay in fact that the marshal from Darlington was called'out and arrested them. Saturday morning they were tried before squire Tom Campbell, of Darlington and very properly fined 820 and costs each.

EIGHT YEARS FOR COFFIN.

Judge Baker PaaRfiH Sentence Last Saturday on Francis A. Coffin.

Special to tho Journal. INDIANAioi.is, Oct. 20.—Judge Baker of the Federal Court this morning sentenced Francis A. Coffin, the former president of the Indianapolis Cabinet' Company, found guilty of aiding in the wrecking of the Indianapolis National Bank, to eight years in the penitentiary. F. A. Coffin was found guilty on seven counts of the indictment against him and on each count he was sentenced to eight year6. The sentences were made concurrent—not cumulative. This afternoon an application for a writ of supercedeas will be made before Judge Woods.

THE NICHOLSON LAW.

Judge Co*,' of the Indianapolis Police Court, Holds it to be Constitutional.

Special to TI10 Journal.

Indianai-olis,

Delphi

25—Judge

Oct.

Cox,

of the police court, in a test case today held the Nicholson liquor lawconstitutional. The section in question was the one forbidding persons, other than the ealoonkeer and bijs family to enter the saloon in prohib'

ited hours. The defendant was FredBrandt, who has a restaurant attached' to his saloon. Under to-day's ruling, restaurants to which bars are attached'^, will have to close when the bars are1" shut up. An appeal is probable. Judge Stubbs from the same court before retiring from office a month ago held.this section unconstitutional.

General and Mrs. Foster are Hoosiers and they have never lost the' plain unaffected address that characterizes true and loyal citizens of Indiana. The life of no man illustrates to a greater degree the possibilities within the range of the average Indiana•. boy than that of General Foster. He was a country boy born and reared among the hills of Pike county. He never won a prize that he did not work for. Every contest made him keener and stronger and at last he found the great field of diplomacy familiar territory. His name is familiar to the great men of the whole world, to the kings and queens of Christendom. General Foster stated that he had been over the entire world but there was but one place he called home and that1 was Indiana.

It seems strange that with such Indianians as General Foster, General Lew Wallace, James Whitcomb Riley and a whole lot of others who shed a bright light on the name of the whole nation, there should be left a few people who continue to attempt to slur Indiana by referring to "Posey county."

And yet there are such people. We were greeted in Louisville by a newspaper that printed cartoons representing the Indiana editors' with long whiskers gawking at big buildings and sitting on street corners eating pie and sandwiches. If that newsper artist had run across the editorial party he'd have been scalped.

Did Mot Survive the Operation. Mrs. O. D. Thomas, of Linden, died at the Indianapolis sanitarium last Thursday at 6 o'clock as the result of a surgical operation. The remains were shipped to Linden Friday and the fu neral was held Saturday, conduct* »d by Rev. Shanklin. Interment at Linden cemetery.

It Is Felt Here.

The declson of Judge Cox, on the constitutionality of the Nicholson law is felt here already. The attornays for Tom Herron, the Waynetown grog dealer, had asked for an arrest of judgment on the ground that the law was invalid. Judge Cox's decision rather gives this plea a set back..

8he Dropped Dead.

Special to The Journal. Dablington, Ind., Oct. 26.—Thia morning Mrs. Robert Allen, of this place, dropped dead. Her death was due to heart disease. She was twentytwo years old and had been in this country about a year, coming from Wales. Her husband is the Darlington saloon keeper.
