"Brown, was appointed to take -action ia the matter. As Mr. Willard wants complete control except during fair week it is not likely that the lease wi'l be granted.

AFTER HIS DAUGHTER.

Tim, Wills, of Linden, In Search of Bis Young daughter, Makes Some

Discoveries.

Tim Wills, of Linden, was in the city Sunday in search of his thirteen year old daughter, who, by the way, was not found here. Some weeks ago Mrs. Aravella. Dill, of bucket shop fame, went to Linden, where she formerly resided and where her reputaj tion was good, and hired the little Wills girl to come to Crawfordsville and act as nurse for the infant Dill. The girl came and Sunday the father came after her, having heard the rather shady rumors afloat regarding Mrs. Dill's character and the character of her place on south Green street. He found that Mrs. Dill had removed to Frankfort and that she claimed to have sent the little girl home some days ago. Mr. Wills enlisted the services of the police and a search of this place was made but the girl was not found. It was learned Monday that the child bad been recovered and taken to her home. Mrs. Dill instead of sending her to Linden had sent her to Frankfort and kept her there until Sunday. Mr. Wills was greatly exercised over the affair.

BADLY WRECKED.

A Small Dog Causes a Runaway and Smashes a Buggy.,

NEW ROSS, May 4.—Yesterday morning James Routh and family, of near Cason, were coming to this place to spend the day. As they were passing Thomas Powell's house a small dog came yelping toward them, which the mule they were driving and he started to run. The harness broke and the buggy was thrown into the ditch, seriously injuring the occupants. Horace, the little boy, received an ugly cut across the brow and several other bruises. The mule dragged Mr. Routh a hundred yards before he succeeded in stopping him. The buggy was smashed to atouus and the victims are thankful that they escaped as they did.

State Sunday School Convention/ An enthusiastic meeting was held at the First Presbyterian church Sunday afternoon and was addressed by State Sunday School Superintendant, C. D. Meigs and the superintendents of the city schools Committees were appointed and instructed by the State superintendent. The place decided upon was the First Presbyterian church with overflow meetings in the First M. E. church. About one thoussand delegates are expected from outside our county. The programmme is a very strong one and the convention promises to be the best one ever held in our State. The parade on the morning of the second day is an unusual feature and will be quite interesting. All of the Sunday schools in the county are to take part in it and will march probably to the college campus where a basket dinner will be served. After dinner addresses will be delivered by the State President, State Superintendent, E. P. Brown, editor of the Ram's Horn and others. The prospect neyer was better for an excellent convention. Programme and full particulars will be given in the May Aivakener which is now in press and will be delivered this week.

For Alumui Trustee.

The preliminary vote of the Wabash college alumni for trustee closed last Thursday and as a result three gentlemen were found to have secured the requisite number of votes to place them in nomination. Edward Daniels, of Indianapolis, received 24 votes, 0. M. Gregg received 22 votes and Rev. M. L. Uaines, of Indianapolis, 19 votes. These three will be voted upon by the alumni and the one receiving the most votes will be elected trustee by the board at commencement. Over C50 votes were cast, many of which were scattering. Many of these were cast by those not alumni. Dr. Tuttle, Alexander Thomson and Judge Baldwin were particularly so favored.

It Takes the First Place.

The Tribune Almanac has one marked superiority over all others in that it is recognized and has been for more than forty years as thoroughly reliable. It is not a new venture. It is not a partisan publication, but takes the first place as an annual compendium of useful facts and figures, indispensable to the citizen who would keep posted not only concerning political vents, but trade and commerce. On sale at the JOURNAL counting room. Price 25 cents.

CONCERNING THOSE WALKS.

A Card from J. A. Foster & Co. Relative to the Walks in Whitlock Place.

To the Editor of the Journal. We are very glad you take the posieion regarding the cement walks in Whitlock Place, as shown in yesterday's issue. You are entirely correct. We are under bond to reconstruct the walks where defective and keep the walks in repair. The bond is good and the repairs will be made at the earliest possible date. The defects were caused by freezing, and the necessary repairs could not have been made at much earlier date than the present. The slight delay has been unavoidable. We trust no one will be an innocent sufferer. Very Truly Yours,

J. A. FOSTER & Co.

OH, UNCLE ABE!

Isn't It Nice in Indee!—The Methuselahic Lover Finally Coralls a Wife.

Uncle Abe Estes, the octogenarian sweet heart who proposed to every Crawfordsville widow and old maid with whom he could obtain an audience, is finally happy. He couldn't make the rilfle here but- after a short season in Indianapolis he bobs up with a bride. On last Friday he was married to Annie Donivan, of the Capital City, and is as happy as a pig in a pea patch. Old Uncle Abe is a fine old man and now that his matrimonial voyage is at an end, in one sense, let us hope that in the other sense it will be less varied and tempestuous than in the first.

BICYCLE NOTES.

So much has been said relative to the road law that the following brief is published, it incorporating the points made by the most eminent attorneys and as upheld by the Supreme Courth:

I.AAV OF TEE HOAX) IX BKIEF. The bicycle is a carriage, and the wheelman may go upon the public highways at all times possessed of the same rights and liable only to the same restrictions to which the drivers of other carriages are subject. He must keep his wheel in safe, roadworthy condition, keep to the right of the center of the highway when meetiag other vehicles, give way when necessary to drivers passing in the same direction who may desire to pass him, exercise proper care to to prevent collision with other carriages aod with travelers on foot, and in general the degree of care which he is required to exercise is such as a person of ordinary care and prudence would exercise in the particular case in which the question arises. The law favors courtesy, though it does not demand it, and in the fa.ee of the existing prejudice against bicycles the exercising of deference, compatible with dignity under trying circumstances, will, in case of a trial at law, go far toward winning the favor of court and jur^, and exemplify the soundness of the maxim, "Thrice Is he armed that hath his quarrel just."

ABOUT LIABILITIES.

1. Municipal corporations or cities are liable to a bicyclist for injuries incurred by reasons of defective roads, (i. e.( unguarded embankment, a deep tut, a large stone) provided he is not guilty of contributory negligence. A bicyclist injured while riding on Sunday for pleasure or business can not recover in States where "Sunday laws" are in force. 2. A wheelman has a right of action against the driver or owner of a vehicle who wilfully or negligently causes a collision or damages his wheel while leftstanding by the street curb or roadside. It is the duty of a wheelman, however, to avert collision if possible, and.he cannot recover damages if his own negligence is in the proximate cause of th6 injury complained of. 3. A traveler riding on the left hand side of the road probably assumes all risks, and is prima facia guilty of negligence. 4. Vehicles going in the same direction, the hindermost may pass on either side. 5. Sidewalks are exclusively for foot passengers, but a toot passenger has a right to walk in the highway, and is entitled to cross the street where he may elect, but is guilty of negligence if be attempts to cross ahead of a vehicle. And the fact that a vehicle is on the wrong side of the road is no evidence of negligence in an action for injury to a pedestrian. 0. A bicyclist employing an immoderate rate of speed on a highway or street njay be liable civilly or criminally in case of accident. If he recklessly runs his wheel against a pedestrian, he is liable for assault and battery. Recklessness will sometimes supply the place of criminal intent, and if a bicycliet kills a human being while going at a dangerous speed he may be convicted of manslaughter.

The tarm "immoderate rate of speed" can not be accurately defined. It depends upon 'time, place and circumstances.

Death of Washington Mote. Washington Mote, an aged and respected citizen of the Garfield neighborhood, died Sunday at his home. For two years he had been in failing health. Mr. Mote leaves a wife and several grown children. He was formerly justice of the peace and was a leading citizen of the county.

The Enumeration.

The township and school corporation trustees were here Friday reporting the enumeration to Supt. Zuck. The enumeration, under the new law, will fall several hundred short in this county. Franklin township is the only one to report a gain and the gain there is but four.
