A FORESHADOWING.

Tbe Congregation of Center Church Very Favorably Impressed By Kev, Mr. Alexander, of Terre Haute.

Of all the visiting ministers who have occupied the pulpit of Center church since the search for a pastor began none impressed a majority of the congregation so favorably as did the Rev. J. A. Alexander, pastor of the Moflatt street Presbyterian church of Terre Haute. Mr. Alexander preached two sermons at Center church some weeks ago and ever since the sentiment in favor of a further consideration of him as a prospective pastor has been growing. Mr. Alexander is a gentleman in the prime of life, liberally educated and a broad man of not too radical views. Educated for the law he entered the ministry after conversion and is now occupying his first real charge at Terre Hate.

On Sunday Judge Thomas and Prof. Campbell were in Terre Haute and unannounced visited Mr. Alexander's church. The day was a miserable one and not at all calculated to inspire a pastor to his best endeavor, but they were eminently pleased by Mr. Alexander's sermon, it impressing them as favorably at least as did those preached here.

Of course, there is nothing to report as yet on the probability of Mr. Alexander's call here, nor, indeed, is it known that his position is such that he could accept, but it is safe to say that he is the man now most favorably considered and it is not improvable that he may be asked to accept the pastorate made vacant by the death of one so dearly loved and so sincerely mourned.

Birthday Dinner.

Sunday at his home, six miles east of the city, Robert Finch celebrated his sixty-seventh birthday by a dinner party. Nearly one hundred persons were present and the affair was a most pleasurable one. Ward Walkup made an address and Mr. Finch was presented a fine rocking chair by his children.

Mr. Walkup's address was a review of the honorable career of Mr. Finch and it commanded the close attention of all present. Mr. Finch was born in Union cpunty, Indiana, March 16, 1839, his father dying when Robert was but thirteen years of age. He proved tbe chief support of his widowed mother. At the age of twentytwo he was marred and is the father of five children. Mr. Finch has long resided in Montgomery county and has established a name for rectitude and honor.

Those present at the dinner were: Harvey Morris and family, Joe Abbott, Ode Woliver and family, Emmet Finch and family, Wm. Peck and family, John Finch and wife, Wm. Chambers and family, Wm. Rhoades and family, W. B. Walkup and family, Henry Chadwick and wife, Jere Chadwick and wife, R. H. Galloway and family, John Finch, Sr., and family, Bruce Morris and wife, Sherman Trout and wife, Tilghman Swearingen and wife, Hannibal Trout and wife, Asbury Finch and wife, of Frankfort, Albert Finch and family, Jacob Castor and wife, Abe Castor and wife, Cal Barnhill and wife, Dr. Jones and wife, of Crawfordsville, Lula Trimble, Albert Arinhart and wife, Alma Wainwright and K. Hemphill.

A Prehistoric Retrospect.

The Covington

Republican

bobs up

with the following belated commentary on Athenian justice: "Sanford Mclntyre, the man who stole chickens by the wagon load from farmers in the vicinity of Crawfordsville, pleaded guilty to a charge of larceny and was sentenced to one year in the penitentiary. A light sentence considering the fact that Mclntyre made a regular business of stealing poultry, and made his trips out into the country nightly for a fresh supply which he would sell to the retailers of Crawfordsville. Bill Bennett, of the same place, being in a destitute condition, Etole one chicken that his family might have something with which to assuage their hunger, and Bill also got one year in the pen. Bill will know better next time and when he again goes after chickens he'll get all there are in the hennery, at the same old pr,ice."

Private Opinion Made Public.

Lew Cochran:—"Yes, there is a law against hauling heavy loada when the roads are soft, but it is more frequently violated than observed in this county. The penalty is only a fine and as those who cut up the roads in this unlawful manner are usually too poor to pay the fine it is useless to prosecute them. Hewever, if those who are interested in good roads would look after this phase of the matter and cause a few arrests, there would be a great improvement."

MOUNT FOR GOVERNOR.

A Kind Word From Hie Old Oommmuler, Colonel C. G. Thouidon—An Enthusiastic Endorsement.

To the Editor of tbo Journal. I was much pleased to see in your paper the report of your county central committee so enthusiastically endorsing ex-Senator James A. Mount, of yout county, for the nomination for Governor. Iiis name is known throughout the State as a brilliant man, a popular lecturer and a practical farmer. I would like to add my testimony to his faithful service as a soldier. He carried a musket for three long years in the service with courage and conscientious devotion, never missing an opportunity of being in the front rank in the most perilous engagements. The Republican party will do itself honor in giving him the nomination to the highest office in the gift of the people of the State, and no one will be more enthusiastic for the success of the ticket in the coming campaign. Having been personally acquainted with him from his early childhood and having commanded iiis company in the beginning of his service and commanding the regiment later on, I take great pleasure in making this testimonial of his courage and sterling worth as well as a citizen.":

Howard was unaffected by the reading of his fate but his wife, who, with his child, sat by his side, cried pitifully, the scene being in painful contrast with the joyful one presented at Howard's acquittal last term. The prosecution was ably conducted by Messrs. Kennedy and Bowers.

John Lyons Arrested.

Last November John Loftus, of Linden, was arrested for unlawful salec of liquor and brought John Lyons, who used to be a prominent wholesale liquor dealer of Lafayette, to go on his bond. Under oath Lyons testified he was worth $5,000 above encumbrances, which was wholly false. He at the same time had failed and sworn in Lafayette that he was not worth SG00 in order to avoid executions.

A SENSATIONAL SCENE.

Phil Hauk anil Bis Mother Obliged to Leave a Funeral Service at Liberty Chapel Tuesday.

Quite a sensational scene was enacted at Liberty Chapel Tuesday while the congregation, which had gathered to attend the funeral services of Mrs. George Fuller, awaited the arrival of the procession. The church was rapidly filling up with the friends of the J"™

Fuller family when Mrs. Richard Hauk,

accompanied by her son Phil, entered and sat down just two seats in front of Mr. and Mrs. Lemuel McClamrock. Thsir appearance, as may well be imagined, caused quite a good deal of

suppressed excitement. Mrs. McClamrock was so overcome that she was unable to restrain her emotions and wept bitterly. Mr. McClamrock leaned over to George Steele and wife .of this city, who occupied the intervening seat and remarked: "There sits the man who killed my daughter. We cannot stay here."

So saying he arose with his wife and left the church. The Horse Thief Detectives acted very promptly in the matter acid Amos Quick marching up the aisle to the seat occupied by Hauk quietly whispered to him that it would •be well for him to leave. He then left the church and Mrs. Hauk began to complain to those about her of the treatment accorded her son and herself—for the word of Mr. Quick included both of them. They kept their seats and in a few minutes John Jackson, a trustee of the church, entered and walking quickly to the pew they occupied quietly addressed them.

When then retained their seats he stepped back and speaking loudly aqd clearly said: "As a trustee of this church I have been requested to order you to leave

The appearance of Phil Hauk in such a place was certainly unwise in him as he was tempting fate. Many present were surprised that things did not take a more serious turn than they did

Under Bond.

The Indianapolis

News

speaking of

the case of Will Lawhon, formerly of this county, says: "William Lawhon. a young man of good appearance, the son of a Zionsville minister, was ,on trial in Police Court this morning on the charge of having taken two partly used mileage tickets from Dr. Samuel N. Metzler, his former employer. Law hon had been Metzler's office assistant but the office business became unprof itable and the suggestion was made that he travel for Metzler. The office relations were severed March 7, but Lawhon, after that date, slept in the office with the knowledge of Metzler. The latter testified that two mileage tickets were locked up in his desk, and he missed them March 11.

When Lawhon was arrested the mileage tickets were found on him. Lawhon's story was that it had been agreed that he was to travel and that he had suggested that he might use mileage tickets, as former employer of Dr. Metzler had done. He saw the tickets lying on the unlocked desk at night, and he took them to use in his work for the doctor. He admitted that there had been no definite authority to use the ticketB, but denied that he had made any effoi fact that he had them. He was bound over for grand jury action. The bond was placed at $500."

Tom Lyons, the Lafayette saloon keeper who committed perjury here and who was very properly indicted by the grand jury, is still hustlinsr to get bond. The court Tuesday permitted him to go to Lafayette to obtain

bondsmen and lf

can put up 8500 he will be saved from staying in the body of the jail here until time for his trial.

Prosecutor Kennedy is determined to make an example of this fellow and should be encouraged in his effort by all law abiding citizens. There is no earthly doubt but that Lyons know* ingly and wittingly swore to a lie to assist a saloon keeper convicted of a violation of the liquor laws. He should certainly be punished.

The amount of perjury which goes on now in the courts is simply appalling and something must be done to put a stop to it. Some men have no more hesitancy in swearing to a lie than they have in eating a good dinner—they seemingly enjoy both. Tom Lyons is this kind of a customer. About a decade at the lakeside wonld do him a heap of good.

THE ENUMERATION.

O™1 School Children Will 8oon Have Thei Moses Counted Under the New Law.

The city school board has appointed Henry W. Connard, Major L. A. Foote, Samuel Scott and Miss Ida Canine as enumerators to make an enumeration of school children in "the school city of Crawfordsville." This enumeration will be begun on April 10 and it is estimated that it will be completed in five or six days. The report

muBt

be

in the hands of the county superintendent before May 1. It is not known just how the new law will affect the enumeration hen, but it is certain that in many towns and districts of the State the enumerations will be reduced one-half. It is thought here that it will be about the same as last year—certainly no greater. ?y5:~x

The new law practically does away with the old "padding" fraud so generally and outrageously practiced in timeB past. Under the new law the enumerators are obliged to record tbe name, age, sex and exact address of every child enumerated together witk the parents' certificate of the correctness of the report.

It is certain that Montgomery county will be a gainer by the operation of the new law as she has been freer from padding than almost any county in the State.

Finley P. Mount left Wednesday for Denver, Colorado, where he will make his future home. Mr. Mount leaves Crawfordsville to the regret of his many friends, but is doubtless acting wisely aB his new' field gives him a much greater scope than this. He has built up a fine business here, and in leaving it evidences no little hardihood and resolution. He has been a favorite in the social and business circles of Crawfordsville and deservedly so. Graduating from Wabash College in 1890 he was elected principal of the high Bchool, when he served most acceptably until he resigned to enter the law. After a legal apprenticeship with Crane & Anderson he established an office focJhimself and succeeded admirably. He was twice elected as County Attorney and bis departure leaves that office vacant, but with plenty of applicants. Mr. Mount's practice here has been purchased by his cousin, R. W. Caldwell, arising young attorney.
