THE WASHINGTON CONVENTION.

A Programme of Intercut to the Crawfordsville Kndeavorers Wlio Will Attend the National Convention This Summer.

Quite a number of Crawfordsville young people will attend the fifteenth international convention of the Y, P. S. C. E. at Washington this summer. The general programme of the convention has been announced. It is expected that fully 60,000 people will attend the convention, which will open on Wednesday evening, July 8, with twenty-two meetings, held in twentytwo of the largest churches of the city. On every morning of the convention there will be held, at 6:30 o'clock, from twenty to thirty early morning prayer meetings in as many churches. The formal opening of the convention will be on Thursday morning in the three great tents, which will be pitched upon the White House lot, just south of the executive mansion. These will be called "Tent Washington," "Tent Endeavor," and "Tent Williston," and will seat about ten thousand persons each, including a chorus choir of about one thousand voices. At these opening sessions, which will be held simultaneously at 9:30 o'clock, addresses of of welcome, the annual report of General Secretary John Willis Baer, and the annual address of President Francis Clark will be given.

Thursday afternoon there will be held about thirty denominational rallies. The topic for Thursday evening will be "Christian Citizenship." The topic for Friday is, "Saved to Serve." The morning meetings will be held in the three tents, and in the afternoon conferences for the discussion of Christian Endeavor committee work will be held in many churches.

Saturday will be "Outdoor" day. At 9:30 an open air praise service will be held at the Washington monument. The Endeavorers will then march to the Capitol, where it is hoped brief addresses may be delivered from the steps of the seat of government. The Junior Endeavorers will hold an early prayer meeting on Saturday morning and a grand rally in one of the tents on Saturday afternoon, at which a choir and orchestra, composed entirely of children, will lead the music. Saturday afternoon will be given up to sight seeing by most of the Endeavorers, while Saturday evening will be devoted to receptions of the State delegations.

While these State rallies are being held on Saturday evening, the three tents will be given over to meetings for citizens only at which leading Endeavorers and evangelists will speak. No services will be held on Sunday morning in the tents, everyone attending the regular service in the churches. On Sunday afternoon an evangelist service will be held in one of the tents, and in the other two and in many churches there will be held denominational missionary rallies. These denominational missionary rallies will be a new feature this .year, and it is believed will prove a very successful one. At the same hour there will be held in Central Hall a meeting devoted wholly to the question of the American Sunday. The tents will be closed ia the evening. Monday afternoon will be devoted to excursions, and in the evening the convention will close with the sermons and usual consecration services in each of the three tents, Central Hall and five or six large churches.

The local committees, numbering nearly 3,000 workers, are busily preparing the details of the arrangements for entertaining the hosts who will come, aud choruses aggregating 4,000 voices are already rehearsing the convention music.

FOR LIFE.

Jesse White, or Lafayette, Found Guilty of the Murder of Mrs. Curtis.

Special To The Journal. LAFAYETTK, Ind., April 7, 1896.— The jury in the White murder case at 9:15 this morning returned a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree and fixed his punishment at life imprisonment, sixty days being given in which to file exceptions.

A Circus War.

This part of the country is to be the scene of one of the liveliest circus wars on record the coming season. James A Bailey is determined to drive the Ringling Bros, out of the territory, by making it so unprofitable for them that they cannot afford to come. To accomplish this he will fight them with two shows, the Forepaugh-Sells Brothers circus and menagerie, and the Buffalo Bill Wild West. Mr. Bailey owns the Forepaugh show, and the Sells Bros., are equal partners with him in that consolidation. He also controls the Wild West show. The plan is to send the former ahead of Ringling Bros., and keep the latter close behind them, billing both the shows wherever the advertisement of Ringling Bros.' circus are displayed The Barnum & Bailey shows will spend the season in the eastern states,

unless it should become necessary to bring it west to assist in the overthrow of the Rlnglings.

iii Watson Convict Law. Senator Watson's convict law that passed the Legislature at the last session, requiring all prisoners to be returned to the county whence they came when their termsexpire, appears to have run against a snag. The people of Jefferson ville are well satisfied with it, as it prevents an undesirable class from making their home there, but the State Board of Charities does not like it.

In his next annual report which is now under preparation Secretary Bicknell will claim that the law is a hardship to prisoners and pernicious in its results. The board's idea is to purchase a ticket for the convict and place it iu the hauds of the conductor and to give the released man sufficient money to supply his immediate wants. It is also alleged that many of the men do not care to return to their former homes on account of the disgrace they will be compelled to overcome.

Prof. Campbell's Project.

A Washington dispatch of Tuesday states that Congressman IHaieu nas asked the Committee on Railways and Canals to substitute Senator Turpie's canal bill which recently passed the senate appropriating 825,000 for the preliminary survey of a ship canal from Lake Michigan to the Wabash river for his bill now pending in the committee. A sub-committee,of which Congressman Lace^, of Iowa, is chairman, is now considering the bill, and has promised Congressman Hatch to report the matter soon to the house. Mr. Hatch hopes for favorable action from the house, now that the senate has acted so promptly, and because t'ae appropriation carried by the bill is comparatively small.

A SLIGHT DELAY

In Closing Up Saved Itarnlilll, Hornaday «& Pickett's I$lg Store Tuesday livening.

Barnhill, Hornaday & Pickett's hour for closing at this season of the year is 8 p. m., and except a slight delay Tuesday evening their big store would have been in ruins to-day. The members of the firm were detained some twenty minutes after the regular closing hour by a traveling man and sat in the furniture department. Finally Mr. Hornaday arose to go and stepped into the grocery room and awaited Mr. Pickett. As he stood there a small blaze suddenly leaped up in the back part of the store where fifty dozen brooms and a large amount of other iniiammable stock was stored. Mr. Hornaday rushed back and found that the fire had just broken out from some un. known cause. Although he witnessed its start it was only with difficulty that Mr. Hornaday and the other gentlemen who rushed in succeeded in mastering the ilames. Mr. Hornaday's overcoat was almost burned from his back in his combat with the fire. Had the fire had three minutes' time among those brooms the conflagration would have been a great one. The fire would easily have gained the heavily stocked furniture rooms overhead where to fight it would have been almost impos-

It

sible. The origin of the blaze is a complete mystery.

Dentil of a Pioneer.

Mrs. Martha Logan, aged 95 years and two months, departed this life Sunday evening, April 5, at the home of D. W. Ronk, 2J£ miles southeast of New Ross. Martha Voris was born in Ohio in 1801. While she was yet a child she moved with her parents to Rush county, this State. She was married to Patrick Logan in 1820. They moved to Marshall county and lived there until 1830 and then came to Montgomery county, where she resided until death, her husband dying several years ago. The deceased was the mother of twelve children, two of whom survive her, Mrs. D. W. Ronk, of New Ross and Mrs. Martha Morris, of New Brunswick, Ind. She was an active member of the Newlight church, an exemplary Christian and a model of patience. In 1892 she fell and sustained injuries so that she hasbeen confined to her bed ever since. She retained her mental faculties until the last. The funeral was preached at the Dunkard church Monday by Rev. L. E. Murray, of Ladoga. Interment at the Yelton cemetery.

A Big Hair.

Kokomo Tribune: It isauthoritively announced that General Lew Wallace would highly appreciate being chosen as one of the four Republicans to represent the State at large in the St. Louis convention. It is taken by common consent that Uncle Dick Thompson, of Terre Haute, shall be one of the big four and the selection of General Wallace ought to be made in the same way. Thompson and Wallace would make a big half of a

really

big

four and give the Indiana delegation national distinction and commanding influence. They are Republican-lead 1 ers of the highest order who have outgrown personal ambition and serve their party for its own sake.

Haru liurued.

The Coining Man.

Terre Haute Tribune: (Independent). The newspaper men of Indiana will unite in rejoicing over the fact that one of their number has been given the recognition which political parties too frequently fail to accord to those who fight their battles with the peu fiftytwo weeks in the year. Charles B. Landis, of the Delphi Journal, who was chosen as a candidate for Congress today in a district which is overwhelmingly his way, is one of the most genial, clever and capable newspaper men in Indiana, and in the event of his election, which under the circumstances seems certain, there will be few more popular members of the next Congress than the genial oracle of the Delphi Journal.

Populist State Convention.

The Populists of this State have decided Dot to hold their State Convention until some time in August. They think it will be wise to wait until after the other parties have all held their national conventions. The leaders say the Populistic sentiment throughout the State was never so pronounced. They believe that if the two old parties do not offer some inducement to the advantage of free coinage, there are thousands of farmers who will vote the Populist ticket next fall.

Death of Kezlali Hemphill.

Miss Keziah Hemphill, aged 03 years, died Tuesday night of a complication of diseases, at the home of Hannibal Trout, with whose family she had made her home for a number of years. The funeral occurred from the home' yesterday morning at 10 o'clock. Interment at Pizgah.

Miss Hemphill was born in Nortli Carolina but came to this county when a child. She was a woman of more than ordinary intelligence and lived a life of usefulness and honor. She was a sister of Robert Hemphill, of this county.

A Compliment from the Kneiny. Lafayette Journal: (Dem.) Charles B. Landis wen easily in the Republican Congressional convention at Crawfordsville yesterday. If a Republican is to represent the Ninth district, Mr. Landis is about as good a man as the enemy could have picked out. He is young, vigorous and able, and to his' credit be it said that he isn't half the partisan that a casual reading of his fire-eating editorials would cause one to imagine him to be. He has even been known to be on speaking terms with a Democrat.

At Delphi.

A special from Delphi to the Indianapolis Journal says: Thl nomination for Congress of Hon. Charles B. Landis, editor of the Delphi Journal, was received here with every evidence of joy by members of all political parties. Five hundred people welcomed him at the station at 9 o'clock to-night on his arrival from Crawfordsville and, headed by a brass band, escorted him to his home where he made a brief speech.
