TOO MUCH ICE WATER.

Mil. Charles Bernard, While Overheated, Drinks Cold Water and Is a Corpse In Thirty Minutes.

Monday afternoon Mrs. Charles Bernard came to her death in a sudden and unusal way. She was never in better health than she was Monday at noon and after dinner went out into the garden of her residence on Liberty street to perform some work. She worked for quite a long time vigorously and became quite warm. When her son, Claude, returned from school she sent him on some errand and when he returne I he found his mother seated on the ground and quite sick from being overheated. He assisted her to the house where she drank eagerly a large quantity of cold water and lay down. The boy hurried for his father and Dr. Waite, who lives with the Bernards, telephoned for Dr. Keegan. Mr6. Bernard was soon taken with a violent case of congestion and died within thirty minutes after the attack. The funeral occurred from the family residence Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock.

Bockvllle'g Horror.

A special from Rockville says: For three days the funeral knell has rung in Rockville and the pall of Pete Egbert's awful crime has hung over the city. Before any of his victims, he himself was committed to mother earth.

The triple funeral of Mrs. Ha£chke and her children took place this afternoon from the Methodist' Episcopal church, which was packed to its utmost capacity, hundreds being unable to get inside. The Rev. T. F. Drake preached the funeral sermon and no sadder scene was ever in Rockville. Never before were three hearses seen here in single procession, and never before were three bodies buried here in one grave. The mother was laid on the south side of the grave, her daughter next, her son next. At the grave the Pythian Sisters gave their ritual burial service.

The public schools were dismissed, both of the children being members of No. 3. Many beautiful floral offerings were placed on the casket.

At 4:30 the funeral of Miss Florence Egbert was held at the Methodist church.

The county commissioners will meet next Saturday and possibly may select a successor to Sheriff Mull. At present Coroner Newlin has, according to law, assumed the duties of the sheriff His many friends are hoping he may be appointed to fill out Mull's unexpired term.

For Free Silver.

The Crawfordsville correspondent of the Indianapolis Sentinel sends in the following "The Democrats of Montgomery county met by township on Saturday and selected delegates to the county, State, Congressional, and Joint Senatorial and Representative conventions. The financial question was made the issue by a few gold advocates and as a result ten townships have selected pronounced free silver delegates to the State, Congressional and other district conventions. In Coal Creek township, with its 150 Democratic majority, only four votes were cast for gold delegates, in spite of the fact that the delegates defeated were exceedingly popular men. In Wayne township, 150 Demociatic, the result was as sharply defined. Every delegate selected to State and Congressional conventions from this county are instructed to vote only for free silvef candidates for Congress and free silver delegates to the Chicago convention. The free silve.- question will make the Republicans much trouble in their convention on Saturday- and an attempt will be made to bridge the difficulty.

One Firm's Experience.

Louis Beecher, of the firm of Beecher A'. Hirst, poultry and produce buyers, said a few days ago: "Our business is growing steadily and as we advertise in one paper, the WKKKI.Y JOUKNAL, the business must come from it. Farmers by the dozen tell me they saw our add in the JOURNAL and I am convinced that it has a wide circulation."

Beecher & Hirst were the.-first patrons of the JOI/HNAI, AUVKKTISING BUISHAU.'

S

lirowu Township Democrats*

The following resolutions were passed by the Democratic convention in Brown township:

Resolved, That the delegates from Brown township be and are hereby instructed to vote for the free and unlimited coinage of silver upon the ratio of 1G to 1, and be it further

Resolved, That the delegates be instructed to vote for A. R. Bayless for Sheriff, and Allen Byers for Commissioner, as long as there is any hope for their nomination.

THE GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATES.

An estimate Placed on Their Strength and Prospects by an Indianapolis Correspondent.

The Indianapolis correspondent of the St. Louis Qlobc-Dcmocrat gives the following on the gubernatorial contest:

The fifteen aspirants for the Republican nomination for Uovernor are entering on the last week of their canvass, and as yet there is no man in the race who is much uearer the nomination than he was at the start. The leaders will enter the convention in about this order: Griffiths, Doxey, Griffin, Posey, Mount and Sayre. The other nine are living in the expectation of deadlock in the convention, with the gubernatorial lightning likely to strike in almost any quarter.

At this writing the comparative strength of the candidates may be sized up as follows:

Griffiths will get the bulk of Marion county's 105 votes, all of Johnson, most of Wayne, most of Baitholomew, a part of Putnam and a scattering strength throughout the State that will give him 250 votes on the first ballot.

Doxey will get all of Madison, all of Delaware, most of Hancock, Henry and Rush, all of Pulaski and-a scattering strength. His friends figure on 20o votes at the start

Griffin will have the Tenth district almost solid, getting at least 100 votes out of it. He will also have a goodly portion of the Twelfth and a large strength in the Thirteenth district, giving at the start in the neighborhood of 200 votes, with the chances largelv

in favor of the whole Twelfth and Thirteenth districts and a fair portion of the Fifth and Ninth coming to him on the third or fourth ballot.

EDISON'S LATEST DISCOVERY.

Warren G. Sayre will get the solid vote of his own district, a part of Kosciusko county, and a scattering strength that will give him about 150 to start with. •».

After weeks of persistent effort, inventor Thomas A. Edison lias produced au unusually powerful ray, which enables him to see tliruugli flesli by means of the Huoroseope, and does away with the delay in photographing, which lias before beon necessary.

Posey will probably show up with as large strength, if not larger, than any other candidate in the convention on the first ballot. His own district will probably give him its full strength of ninety-three votes, and he will be able to get about fifty votes out of the Second and eightv out of the Third. He expects scattering strength enough in addition to bring this vote up to 250 on the first ballot but his danger lie« in the fact that part of his own district is liable to gp.t away from him on subsequent ballots.

Mount will have most of the Ninth district to start with and a pretty general strength from the farmer element.

Ortli Kscaped.

Orth Wickom is a gay young blade from Coal Creek township who some time ago trilled with the affections of Miss Stella Razor to a damaging extent. The girl's father. Henry Razor, toalt out papers for the lad's arrest and Tuesday accompanied by Constable Hernley went after young Wickom. Mr. Razor requested Mr. Hernley not to make the arrest but to talk the matter over with the boy and see if he wouldn't do the square thing. The lad was easily found and readily assented to the mild demand that he marry the girl. He left his work, put on his Sunday clothes, harnessed his horse and stated that he was ready to start to town for the license. He drove on ahead of the buggy containing the constable ana his prospective father-in-law and by the time Lee's tile factory was reached it was quite dark. Here Orth turned off the road and disappeared giving his escorts the slip. Mr. Razor's rage was fearful upon learning that he had been tricked by the boy. Orth Wickom is only nineteen years old but is said to be very sly.

Weekly Urop Hulletin.

Central Station, Indianapolis.—Good, warm rains and warm weather was v«-ry favorable to growing crops and advanced vegetation most wonderfully in most localities in the central and northern portions in the southern portion the rains were light and more scattered, and in several counties no ruin having fallen for some time, rain is much' needed, but, nevertheless, even then, crops have improved. On the morning of the 22d light frost formed in many localies, but did no injury. Wheat and grasses improved much and look better than last week. Pasturage is good, and live stock shows it. Rye continues to be in fine condition. Early sown clover perished, but late sown is coming on nicely. Early potatoes have been planted and some are coming up. Oats are nearly all sown, and early sownaie coming up nicely. Because for lack of rain tobacco plants have advanced less, and the quality seems to be inferior. Fruit trees are full of bloom and also small fruits peach blossoms commence dropping, and in some localities apple blossoms are less abundant than last year. Plowing for corn continues some corn has been planted in localities. Plowing has been retarded in some localities in the southern portion, because the ground is getting hard and dry. and in Whitley county, in the northern portion, because the ground is too wet. Cut-worms and clover-worms have made their appearance in great numbers in few localities the potalo bug slso.

PART FIRST

A PLEASANT EVENT.

State Y. M. C. A. Dinner at Indianapolis Tuesday Night—General llarrirtsoii Presides.

One of the most enjoyable gatherings of the present season was the dinner given at Indianapolis last Tuesday by the State Executive Committee of the Indiana Young Men's Christian Association. Over 200 guests attended the dinner which was served at the New Denison. The purpose of the gathering was to increase the already large interest taken in the Association's work by the business men of the State. After a most excellent repast had been disposed of, ex-President Harrison, chairman of the evening, introduced Rev. Dr. H. A. Buchtell, of Indianapolis, who spoke briefly upon the relation of the Association to the "city problem" of to-day and its success in helping to solve the problem. Dr. Buchtell was followed by Professor John M. Coulter, of Chicago University, who discussed the intercollegiate work of the Association,—now a world-wide movement. President M. E. Ingalls, of the Big Four railroad lines, told of the remarkable work done by the Associations along the line of the Chesapeake & Ohio railway, and throughout the country, referring to the money invested in support of the Associations as one of the best possible investments, from a strictly business point of view. The C. & O is now pretty well equipped with these Y. M. C. A. houses, and they are bringing in their per cent., the same as any other investment, or probably more, for to them we owe a largely increased efficiency of the men. "Our duty does not end with the employment of men and paying their wages," said Mr. Ingalls, "but we must see what they do with their money, and help them and give them something to hope ifor.

When riding on a palace car you little realize that your life depends upon some breakman on a freight train closing a switch ahead of your fast flying train, and that he gets only 850 a month. Would he not be a better man and much more likely to do his duty if we give him something to hope for?" Richard C. Morse, of New York, gave some very interesting facts concerning the progress of the Association work during 1895, showing that the work had held its own along all lines and made gains in most of its departments. The Associations now have in real estate property valued at 810,700,000, the increase of the year 1895 being S700.000, an increase of about 4 per cent. The current expenses fcjr the year were $3,300,000, an increase of 875,000,000 over the year before. The membership jumped from 244,000 in 1894 to 200,000, of whom, Mr. Morse said, a majority are not numbers of any church, but are young men whd are being oncouraged and assisted to live moral and upright lives. In 1894 there were 1,158 officers, which number increased in 1895 to 1,248, an increase of 8 per cent. The Associations own 310 buildings, and have secretaries at over 600 city departments.

The purpose andsentiment ofTuesday night's gathering may be briefly stated by quoting a part of General Harrison's opening remarks: "The Young Men'6 Christian Association is no longer on trial: it has been tried, and has been accepted, accepted by the churches long ago, and now accepted by the business interests of the country. It has come to be recognized as a most powerful and helpful aid to the Christian church it has come to be recognized by railroad presidents, who, perhaps, have been skeptics sometimes in their lives,to be a powerful influence for the conservation of the properties intrusted to their care. And so it has come to be recognized by college presidents as the college police force. It is, therefore, not an institution on trial: it is au established, and accepted and powerful agency for good in all our communities where it is established. Therefore the question is not whether we will have the Young Men's Christian Association, but whether we will equip it for that full and effective exercise "of its organization and the power it ought to have. The gentlemen in the management of this State institution have this representative and strong body of men assembled here to-night to create an interest in the question whether this State organization will not be equipped as to be assured, without annual solicitation, with the funds necessary for the wide and efficient conduct of its work. I am sure every one here to-night will, in a large or a small way, as his means be large or small, be willing to promote this most desirable end."

The dinner w:l' undoubtedly do much toward increasing a general interest in Y. M. C. A. work among business men throughout the State, and the committee in charge is to be congratulated upon its success. Those in attendance from this city were O. M. Gregg, T. H. B. McCain and G. H. Hauser.
