THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.
Nine Citizens are Selected to Raise Funds for tlie Coming Fourth of July Celebration.
Notwithstanding the storm and disagreeable outdoor weather, the committee of the whole on the coming Fourth of July celebration held a meeting at the court house Wednesday night. President Geo. W. Graham called the meeting to order at 7:30 o'clock and a general love feast followed in which many encouraging expressions concerning the proposed celebration were offered. The work of selecting a Finance Committee has been a matter slow on account of the endeavor to obtain the services of foremost business men and good solicitors who could speedily push the matter of raising the necessary funds for conducting the celebration. However, the nine men were selected and agreed to lend their assistance, as follows:
Dr. S. L. Ensminger, chairman. Dr. D. N. Morgan, J. J. Insley, Jacob Joel, Louis Bischof, R. C. Smith, W. F. Hunt, Cal Barn hill,
C. Handel.
This committee will meet at once and formulate plans of raising the funds required. A number of suggestions, as to possible methods of obtaining the money, were offered but the exact course the committer will take is not yet known, though it is quite possible that subscriptions will be made payable in installments. However, the committee is empowered to select its own system. The committees are desirous of raising at least 81,500 and it is not improbable that they will accomplish this end which eariy insures a monster celebration. Anothermeeting of the big committee will be held in two weeks, at which time a report will be heard from the finance committee and other committees will be formed. Let the good work go on and1 the eagle will be forced to scream.

Hollowky Takes a Change of Tenae In His I Damage Suit.
Terre Haute Tribune: The case of Edward Holloway vs. the Big Four railway suit for 835,000 damages for false imprisonment on a charge of train wrecking, has been sent to Clay county on a change of venue.
For Commissioner.
Henry W. Harding is announced in to-day's JOUKNAL as a candidate for Commissioner from the Second or Middle district, before the Republican convention. Mr. Harding is the incumbent Commissioner. Like all new men he had to learn the business. His record is before the people, and considering that it is his first term, it is remarkably clear of defects. He has done little that can be justly criticised and much to commend him to the good graces of the people. AB is well known he is a farmer, and a good one. He has given to the public that same conscientious and painstaking work that he has all his life given to his own business. As he will be better quali-. fied for a second term than he was for the first he asks an endorsement at the hands of the Republican convention.

A Freight Wreck
All Big Four trains were much delayed yesterday on account of a freight wreck at Moore'3 Hill, the first station west of Indianapolis. As a freight train was nearing the station yesterday morning it became disconnected. The engineer was wholly unaware of this fact and pulled the half of the train attached to the engine to a point near the station where they were stopped. Shortly after that part of the train which had been left behind came crashing into the first part of the train despite the efforts of the crew to stop it. Twelve or fifteen cars were telescoped, piled and jammed into and upon each other, completely blocking and obstructing the-way. The officials give out the information that no one was hurt though the damage to the train was great. Traffic has been suspended all way on the Peoria division.

Wants to Get Shut of Him. 'i
Harry C. Howard, alias etc., etc., the man convicted of stealing the watch from Mrs. Charles Pritchard, will be taken to the Northern pen at once. Sheriff Davis states that in all his experience in the county jail he has never had a prisoner that gave him half the annoyance and trouble that this man Howard has. He and the police are certain that Howard is the worst kind of a sneak-thief.

An Epidemic or Measles at Darlington— Spares Neither Age Nor Sex.
For the past four weeks the city authorities and health officers of Darlington have been trying to overcome an epidemic of measles. They have been wholly unable to do so ana it seems that the good, bad and indifferent young and old are having the measles though in a light form. The schools have not been closed on account of the disease and a youngster keeps coming until he gets the measles when he drops out and reenters when convalescent. No deaths have been reported so far.
For Representative.
Jacob M. Harshbarger, of Clark township, is announced in to-day's JOURNAL as a candidate for Representative from Montgomery county before the Republican convention. Mr. Harshbarger is one of the best known Republicans of the county. He lives on a farm which he runs on an extensive scale. He is a man of much reading and is well informed on all subjects which pertain to the welfare of the people. Having served several years as county commissioner he is familiar with the defective legislation which has been enacted from time to tftne relative to county business.
AT Y0UNTSV1LLE.
Miss Jennie Sweeney Entertains About One Hundred and Twenty--Five Guests.
Wednesday night was a red letter night in Yountsville society. Miss Jennie Sweeney, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chris Sweeney entertained a large number of her friends, there being about one hundred and twenty-fire guests who responded to the invitations. The large parlors, stairways and reception rooms, were brilliantly lighted by candelabra which shed their mellow rays upon flower-be-decked rooms and palm and fernladened stairways. A genial hospitality was extended by the pleasant and accomplished young hostess, the guests being tendered the full compass of the large residence. Refreshments were served, many games participated in and jollity prevailed until a late hour. Several guests went out from this city. Prof. Lee O. Smith presided at the beautiful Starr piano which had, been furnished by the Gilbert music bouse of this city, in his usual charming manner. The affair was most pleasant throughout.
He Deserves It.
Hon. George W. Faris, who represents the old 8th District in Congress, is not making grand stand plays on the floor of the House but he is representing his people in a most satisfactory manner. Private information comes to the Attica Ledger that Mr. Faris is generally regarded as one of the most industrious members of that body and that his influence is remarkoble for a first term man. He has shown great adaptability for important committee work and his gentlemanly manners and proverbial good nature have made him a favorite with the older members. Mr. Faris,. by the recent apportionment, has been thrown into the 5th District and the people there have shown great wisdom in refusing to consider any other name in the impending contest. They will nominate Mr. Faris without opposition and elect him by an overwhelming majority, and the Ledger predicts that Indiana will have no better representative in the next Congress than George W. Faris.

Hinchow is a one-legged brute, who became angiy r^t his mother for lying down on his bed.
