REV. ALBERT J. ALEXANDER.

The Mrmlim of Gt'iit.-r Church Vote In l^tivor nf1liflTi»Tr« IlHtito ininter —lie Will l*rob»lly Accept

If Called.

1'lipre was a large attendance at Center church prayer meeting Wednesday evening and the leading members were all present. After a short religious service the business session began and Judge Thomas was made chairman with John M. Shultz secretur}'. Judge Thomas stated the object of the meeting, which was to take the preliminary steps toward securing a new pastor. The session had canvassed the matter and had fouuri that of all the ministers who had vis'ited the church and preached this winter, two were preeminently favorites—Rev. Albert .T. Alexander, of Terre Haute, and Rev. Guido Bossard, of Wisconsin. Aceordnglv it had been determined to have a vote of preference on these two gentlemen. Votes for other preferences, however, would not be barred. Prepared slips were accordingly passed and those present voted. Upon counting the ballots it was found that Mr.

Alexander had about sixty of the ninety votes cast. Mr. Bossard had about twenty and the balance were scattering.

It was then announced that a "yes or no" vote would be taken in order to ascertain if those voting for some one el-ethan Mr. Alexander on the firbt ballot were opposed to extending him a call or were merely expressing a preference. This vote was taken and was practically unanimous in favor of Mr. Alexander beiug given a call to the pastorate.

The session is now warranted in going ahead and negotiating with Mr. Alexander. It will be ascertained at once if he will accept a call and if he will a church meeting will be held and the call formally extended.

It is thought that Mr. Alexander will accept. lie is thirty-two years of age and was born in Belfast, Ireland, of Sc tch-Irish parentage. He was brought to this country by his parents when he was but two years old, and was educated at the University of Cincinnati. Upon graduation there he studied law four years and then, determining upon the ministry, entered Uni"n Theologijal Seminary, from which he was graduated with honors, lie is now in charge of his first work at the MotTatt street Presbyterian church of Terre Haute, where he has made a splendid record. Dr. S. V. Leech, who is well acquainted with him, pronounces Mr. Alexander as one of the most able and earnest young ministers in the State. Mr. Alexander is married and has one child, his wife being a most accomplished lady, a daughter of one of the most prominent Cincinnati families.

A Tree Idea.

MIph Mary l)iiion Narrowly K*c»p»fl JMith VVIille Working at th« Aluir 111 St. ItoriiHHl'A Cntholtu Church.

Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock occurred an accident in St. Bernard's Catholic church which narrowly escaped ending in the tragic death of Miss Mary Dineen, a popular young lady and daughter of John Dineen. Miss Dineen, with several other young ladies and the Sisters of St. Charles Academy, was engaged in decorating the altar for the Easter services. Among the decorations were numerous candles and these were lighted. As Miss Dineen worked a draft from a side, door blew the flames of a candle against her puir sleeves. The light goods immediately ignited and blazed up. With a cry of terror the young lady started for the door just south the altar intent on running into the yard. Just as she gained the door, however, she was seized by sister George who realized her danger and knew that if the young lady was not stopped that her death was certain. The now distracted girl struggled for her freedom but was held by the plucky sister who succeeded in throwing her heavy cloak over the burning garments and so smothering the llames. She with lur bare hands prevented the blnze from

reaching Miss Dineen's face and hair, although she Buffered some fearful burns herself. The whole thing was over so quickly that those present hardly realized what had happened. Miss Dineen, whose arm and shoulder was terribly burned, was taken to her home suffering terribly, and Dr. Enfjminger hastily summoned. She is iow out of danger although her pain is still great and distressing.

A Hot Tomule.

The red hot Campbell vs. Irwin slander case is now sizzing in the circuit court before a select crowd of hairy old goats who ought to be working the roads instead of hanging around the court room to gobble up morsels of slander like voracious turkeys snapping grasshoppers after harvest. A number of women, not witnesses or in any way connected with the case, are also present collecting gossip with which to rega'e their neighbors who are unable to attend. The details of this case would hardly look well in print and accordingly, those with an abnormal penchant for salacious scandal are commended to court attendance. Suffice it to say that Mrs. Mary I Irwin accused Edna Campbell of being a very naughty little girl and, when sued for slander, set up as defense the truth of the allegations.

At HlooiiiiiiKlon.

Bloomington Tvleiilumc: A court of Ben-Hnr wns instituted last night in the Maccabee hall. The organization chose the name of "Bloomington Court" of the Tribe of Hen-IIur, No. 70. Owing to the fact that a number of the charter members could not be present for initiation, the charter will be held open for a few days and Mr. Maxwell, one of the organizers, will remain in the city until the next meeting, which will be held Tuesday evening of next week. The court here was instituted by D. W. Gerard, Fred Maxwell and J. C. Wicker, of Crawfordsville.

For the Defendant.

Judge SDyder on yesterday gave a very decisive ruling in the justly notorious Connard vs. Gibson case. He held that paragraph of the answer good which sets up that the matter had been adjudicated.

SAVED BY A SISTER. HENRY U. JOHNSON WINS.

H« Carries Uenry County lty 11 Small Majority and Klc von of the Tliirtoun TownnhipH,

Special to the Journal. NKW CA.STI.K,-April 2.—The returns from nearly all the precincts in Henry county indicate that Henry II.Johnson has carried the county by a small majority, probably not more than 100. Late last night Congressman Watson and his friends acknowledged' defeat, but they still had faint hopes that the returns from the distant townships might change the result. Additional returns this morning led Mr. Watson to abandon all hopes. Both sides charge that votes were cast that should not have been cast. Asotlie figures now stand Johnson has carried eleven of the thirteen townships.

Time to lMmit Sweet I'FLRTH.

PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITIES—LEVI P. MORTON. Governor Lovi Parsons Morton, New York's favorite snn, was born in Kliorclinm, t., May lli, 1S24. He was minister to Franco in 1881 and was elected vice president in 1888.

It is the time now to give thought to sweet peas if we would have them gladden our gardens this summer with their beauty and fragrance. A rear or side border against a fence or other background is a good position for the bed. If one is to raise a considerable quantity they may be planted in rows and allowed to run up a screen of chicken wire. If sweet peas are to continue to bloom throutrli the season

the soil mutt be rich and capable of holding moisture A thin dry soil will not grow good peas. Deep planting enables the sweet pea to resist dry weather. It is a good plan to make furrows four to six inches deep, drop the peas in the bottom and cover an inch or so. Then, as the plants grow, fill in about them until the furrows are full. But if the furrows will fill with water and hold it, the peas should be planted more shallow and the furrows filled in at once. Early planting is desirable. In this latitude we can plant as early as the first of April in warm soil, that is, a month before hard frosts have ceased. Even if seeds are got in late and shallow the plants may be carried through with a little extra attention and tillage. If there are any secrets in growing sweet peas they are a rich, well prepared soil, earl.v and rather deep planting, picking off pods as soon as they form and the judicious belection of seed and varieties.

A Tip for Our Cl| nr«lti Lover*. A special from Anderson says: Cigarette smokers can get some pointers from a little incident which happened in this city to-day. Yesterday a character known as

1

Bluebeard" was

driven out of the city. He was the lowest mortal possible to imagine, and his house and family were 6till lowei than he. It was found to-day that he has 31,200 deposited in the National bank. This money is from an Eastern cigarette firm. For years he has been' gathering up cigar stubs and drying them. He has kept this up rain and shine, picking many of them out of spittoons and other places. These he: has shipped to the cigarette manufacturers, and they have been worked up into coffin nails. His last shipment was so large as to bring him over 8300.

For The Defendant.
