A LONG DISTANCE CABLEGRAM.

Tt Went Hound liobin 1IooVh Itarn and Canto In at tlio Hack Door.

The following' will give an idea of the rapidity with which news travels as compared with times past. The storm of the 25th ult. as is well known did great damage to the telegraph wires throughout the central part of the United States, causing great delay in the sending of messages, but cablegrams which of their nature are.of the highest importance, must reach their destination by all manner of means. The following will show the means adopted by the Postal Telegraph-Cable Company on that occasion. A message sent to James P. Walter & Bro. from Glasgow, Scotland, after arriving at New York made the following tour before reaching its destination: New York to Montreal, Ont. thence to Vancouver, 15. C., thence to San Francisco from there to Kansas City, and from Kansas City to Chicago, Chicago to St. Louis, thence to Indianapolis and on to Crawfordsville, a distance of more than 6,000 miles after it crossed the ocean. The entire time from Glasgow to Crawfordsville was less than two hours.

WATCH DOG OF OUR TREASURY.

Judge Snllar Doesn't Wane the Auditor and Treasurer to Receive Their Salaries— A Test Case Filed.

Monday was the day for the com' missioners to pay the salaries of the county officers foi^the month past, but the salaries of Auditor White and Treasurer Johnson were not paid. Under anew law-,-the salaries which are fixed by law, are to be paid from fees collected, and the Treasurer and Auditor had collected practically nothing. The Auditor had S26 in fees and the Treasurer not a cent. Judge Mulberry Sellar was on hand and stated that as a tax payer he would enjoin the Commissioners from paying the salaries, except such a part of them as had been collected in fees. "I helped pass that law" exclaimed the Judge, and I propose to see it enforced."

OBAWFORDSYILLE, INDIANA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 0, 1895-SIXTEEN PAGES

The Commissioners wished to allow the salaries of the officials, but not being sure of their right to do so allowed only the S2G which Mr. White had collected. Out of this Mr. White was expected to pay himself and two deputies.

Mr. Johnson had to whistle for his money. Of course, no one expects these officials to work for nothing and to pay their deputies with their own money to boot, but Judge Sellar and a few of his minions state that they will make trouble if the Commissioners attempt to allow the money rightfully due the officials.

Naturally, as a heavy tax payer. Judge Sellar would have to sustain the chief burden of such a payment of salaries, but this godly man should reflect that "there are others."

Attorney General Ketcham recently in expressing an opinion on the law stated that a bad break had been made relative to the auditors and treasurers, but that he advised the commissioners to allow their salaries, feeling sure that no man would object to an official receiving what was due him. Mr. Ketcham evidently was not aware of a species that flourishes in Montgomery county.

The law will be tested at once as the following special from Evansville reveals: "The fee and salary law passed by the last Legislature is to be tested by Louis H. Legler, auditor of Vanderburg county. Tuesday Mr. Legler brought before the county commissioners his bill for services for the Septem-ber-Deceinber term, amounting to S2,1C1.95. The bill is constructed on the law of 1879. During the quarter he collected in fees $141.10, which, according to the new law, constitutes hi? whole salary for the three months. The commissioners rejected the bill on the ground that he is entitled only to his fees. Should they amount to less than-the salary provided by law, Mr. Legler will enter suit against the commissioners for his itemized salary, and the case will go to the Supreme Court. This action is the result of a concerted movement among the auditors and treasurers over the State, and Legler will stand for the test case."

For San Francisco's Injury.

Tuesday E. J. Baldwin filed suit in the circuit court against the fair association for $2,000 damages. He alleges that at the last fair his famous running horse, "San Francisco," was injured permanently by stepping on a harrow which had negligently been left on the race track. "San Francisco" is pictured by the complaint as a very paragon o: time winner.

A Woman Almost Frozen."

Monday night, at 7:30 o'clock, a little girl rang the door bell at the Methodist parsonage and stated that a woman was lying in the snow in the alley be' tween Wabash avenue and east Jefferson street. The pastor's wife immediately went to the place and .found a young woman much intoxicated, and almost frozen. Her few garments were covered with ice. Several men were called from a meeting in the church and they carried the woman into the parsonage where her garments were removed and her person thor oughly rubbed by attending ladies as she lay on a couch at the front Of a hot fire. When she became lit for removal she was wrapped in a comfort, dry stockings and shoes were put on her feet and a police officer took her in a carriage to the jail for the night. He stated that she was an unfortunate young woman well known in police circles. The pastor of the church said he thought the Christian women of this city ought to organize an association to do practical work of rescue among these unfortunate girl's and women. He believed there should be a house rented and maintained, with a matron in charge, where any woman might have shelter at any hour, and if necessary for a month, rather than be taken to jail. He believed many courtezans could be induced to reform if they could get a fair chance.

A 1 fiunkfigiviiig Fugitive.

Lafayette Courier: On Thanksgiving day a lu year old girl ran away from her home in Ladoga, Montgomery county, coming to this city. A day or so later her sister came up to look for her, putting the case in the hands of the police. Nothing could be heard of the runaway until the sister had gone home. Then it became known that the girl was employed as a servant girl in the family of Dr. L. M. Irwin. The sister was notified and she came up yesterday, taking the truant home with her last night. The girl related a few of her experiences on the streets of a strange town and they were far from being creditable to the young men of the city." It is very fortunate that all Lafayette young men can not be guaged by the actions of the few who may have approached this helpless stranger.

A SNUG LITTLE POT.

George W. Oliver Get# a Jiulgmoiit 91,400 Acainftt tho Clover Leaf Kiiilroiul Company.

The damage suit of George W. Oliver, of New Richmond, against the Clover Leaf Railroad Company catne to an end last Monday in the circuit court when the jury returned with a special finding of facts ativt awarded the plaintiff damages in the sum of $1,400. The jury was obliged to answer eighty-five interrogatives put to them by the attorneys. The defendants will probably appeal from the verdict.

Oliver was an employe of the road, and while working on a bridge had his hand crushed. The evidence showed the road to have been guilty of negligence and that Oliver was in nowise to blame.

.V In Memorlam.

'And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Tabitha, cumi, which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise."— Mark f: 41.

Thus has the Savior taken unto himself one of the purest and sweetest flowers from our midst.

Rena Oliver was born Jan. 27, 1881, and died of congestion Nov. 31, 1895, after a brief ilTbess of five days. She leaves a father, a mother, four brothers, a sister-in-law and a host of friends to mourn their loss. She was ever an obedient daughter, a lovable sister and friend, and a studious pupil of a sunny disposition, always having a kind and cheery greeting for everyone. She loved to attend Sunday school and church and although she had not been connected with any church we feel assured her heart was in her Savior's keeping. She had expressed a desire to unite with the Christian church and the funeral was conducted by Rev. S. H. Creighton in the Christian church at this

Nov. 23d, and interment at Oak Hill.

What a sad task to teachers and I

lonely home. We will never see her dear face or hear her sweet voice again on earth but Christ through His infinite mercy prepares us a way for life eternal, if, like Jarius, we have faith in the power of the All Wise, He will say unto us, "Arise," and we will meet all the loved odes gone before.

How feeble are words to carry consolation to hearts bereaved of a loved daughter in the household. A tender, clinging vine interwoven in sweet memories from the hour the angel firstgave "her her home a gentle spirit of light that flitted in and out like a gleam of sunshine. No one can fill her place in the vacant chair no one will take her place in our hearts. It will be a sacred thought in all the years to come, to parents and friends, that she shed radiance in the home as long as she lived. It will be a blessed recollection that she grew up to love and be loved by those who will ever cherish her memory so tenderly. It is in such an hour as this that Hope spreads her pinion and we rest our faith on the belief that Rena is not dead. She is only gone from us for a little while. Up among the angels she is a star, and her loving ways and bright eyes are more beautiful even than here. We lowered the corpse into the tomb, but not our darling

PART SECOND

EXPIRATION OF APPELLATE CODRT.

For It Ends In 1807, Despite the Names Mentioned as Candidates.

Occasionally the name of some one is heard mentioned as a candidate for Appellate Judge at the next State election. The understanding among legal minds is that the Appellate Court is a temporary assistant for the Supreme Court, and that it ceases,to be after March, 1897. By a special act of the Legislature of 1893 the present Appellate judges continue in office until January, 1S9?. The Supreme Court fell further and further behind in its work, until it was found that some assistance was needed. In 189! the Appellate Court was established for a period of six years, for the purpose of giving this assistance. As a result, the Supreme Court has been permitted to-catch up in a sort of a way with its work, so that now a case may be reached as soon as nine or ten months after it is filed. The Appellate Court handles the minor cases, thus relieving the Supreme judges.

Ihere is a question if the Supreme Court can ever continue without the assistence of the Appellate Court, and the next Legislature may be asked to continue the assistant court, but it may be a trifle early to make announcements for Appellate nominations. Certainly men cannot be elected next year to an office which becomes defunct, even though the Legislature should afterwards continue the office.

Resolutions of Tribute.

Since it has pleased our heavenly Father to remove from our midst a beloved brother, Nathan Quick, therefore be it

Resolved, That we as a body of Christian endeavor workers of Liberty Christian church, realize our loss.

He had lived a life of morality, although confessing Christ years before but not being fully awakened to place the sense of his duty until four years

ago, he renewed his covenant with God. Since the death of his father,

I our beloved brother, we tender our heartfelt sympathy to his family. God has promised to be a father to the fatherless, and the widow's God.

We request that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the bereaved family, and that a copy be entered upon.

E. F. Larkin, of the Chicago Medical School, is at home, having been called to attend the funeral of his grand* mother, Mrs. Vaughn.

The first quarterly meeting of the Crawfordsville circuit occurred here Sunday, Dr. Cisscll, the presiding elder, preaching Sunday morning.

Mrs. Margaret Shanklin mourns the loss of a silk and woolen shawl, black and old gold in color, which was lost near the crossing of the Yountsville & New Richmond road with the Crawfordsville «&'Waynetown pike. She would gladly reward the .finder if it is left with her or at The Journal office.

In the death of Mrs. Eliza Vaughn, which occurred Thursday evening, the community loses one of its oldest residents. No one was better known or more thoroughly respected. Characterized by patience, industry, and Christian integrity, her life was in many ways a lesson in correct living. She died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. George Larkin, where she has lived so long. She was 84 years old and leaves many relatives and friends.
