Terre Haute Tribune: Rev. A. J. Alexander preached his farewell sermon as pastor of the Washington Avenue Presbyterian church, yesterday evening, preparatory to his departure for Crawfordsville, where he will assume the pastorate of Center Presbyterian church this week. Rev. Alexander bade goodbye to his faithful flock with evident regret, while on the part of his congregation there was an undivided feeliDg of sorrow at his departure, somewhat mingled with gratification by the fact that his new pastorate at Crawfordsville is considered one of the foremost in the West. During Rev. Alexander's residence in Terre Haute he has been one of the foremost factors in religious work in the community and has made many friends, who regret his departure, bnt rejoice in his promotion. The Presbyterian church held a special convocation Friday at tee Central church, this city, and formally dissolved the relations between Rev. Alexander and his congregation here. A letter was also issued for him to his future field of labor at Crawfordsville.

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

Central Station, Indianapolis, lnd.— Warm, fine growing weather prevailed during the week. Good local rains fell except in few localities in the southern portion, where rain is much needed the rains in the northern portion were so heavy in many localities that plowing was delayed thereby. Wheat, most everywhere on good soil, is in fine condition. Rye is heading in many fields the straw is long. Barley is doing well. Young clover, timothy and all grasses, meadows and pasturage are in best condition. Oats are nearly all sown and coming up in most fields. Early potatoes are coming up in many fields. In most localities gardens are made, and vegetables, peas and bean truck are coming on nicely. All fruit continues to be in promising condition. Preparations are being made for an unusually large tobacco crop in Ohio county. Plowing for corn continues, and in many counties is nearly done. Early planted corn is coming up. With fine pasturage stock is fat and in good condition. Worms and bugs of all descriptions and grasshoppers are becoming very numerous and are doing injury in localities.

By Accident.

Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock Johnny Shepherd, the son of Thomas Shepherd was bicycle riding on west Main street and unfortunately ran into a buggy driven by Mrs. Fred Schweitzer. He was very painfully and

Of Interest to Teachers.

The questions on the Science of Education and Literature, for the six months beginning with the May examination, will be based on "McMurry's General Method" and "The Tempest," respectively. The books will not be divided into sections as during the past six months, but the examinations will be based on the works as a whole.

Applicants will be allowed to use their books in answering the questions on "The Tempest."

Ladoga Flag liaising.

Ladoga celebrated her school flag raising last Friday in the proper style. Handsome flags were raised over all the school buildings and excellent exercises, literary and musical, were carried out. The school children and patrons all attended and the occasion was one long to be remembered by the people of the place.

Rev. Alexander's Farewell.

THE CITY ELECTION.

It Passes Oil' Ouletly and Results'I11 a Victory for Smith, Hntchings Nolan and Hutton.

The city election for the purpose of choosing four councilmen took place Tuesday and was a quiet enough affair. A full vote was not polled in any precinct, but the result was not at all as usual. Three Democrats and one Republican succeeded in securing the election. The causes of the radical change are not hard to explain, although very few persons supposed that they would exert so radical an influence. In the First ward the opposition to Mr. Myers found its genesis in much the same cause that defeated Mr. Reynolds for nomination in the Third. Many of the people, especially those living on Main street, opposed the street improvements projected during the last year or so.

In the Second ward Mr. Thomas was defeated by reason of his refusal to take part in any canvas, he not caring for an office which did not come unsought. The active measures of Mr. Nolan and the hard work of a vindictive pseudo-Republican or two also contributed to the result.

In the Third ward party disaffection explains the result. Mr. Markley did not receive the support due him at tte hands of the Republican party. The Democratic city organization was excellent and the work it did contributed

largely in the result, especially in the Second ward. The Democratic coun-cilmen-elect are gentlemen who command the respect of their fellow citizens and who stand high. The .JOURNAL has never had occasion to question their honesty or sincerity and does not now. It merely remarks that the Republicans defeated splendid material to make room for them. They have promised very much and will now be expected to live up to those promises. The new council will be organized next Monday evening and will be a tie politically, Mayor Bandel having the deciding vote when matters of party import arise, as they do not often do in council proceedings.

The vote stood as follows: FIKST WAI1D.

iously injured, one leg being fractured and a large portion of his scalp torn off. He was otherwise bruised and cut and suffered intense pain. Medical aid was hastily summoned and he was carried to his father's home. He is resting more easily now but will not be able to be out for some time. Mrs. Schweitzer was in nowise to blame for the unfortunate accident.

A Successful Experiment.

Dr. Etter's experiment with the rays Tuesday before the County Medical Society was eminently successful. A representative of the JOURNAL was present and sat a very delightful hour with his hand on the plate under the cathode rays. At the expiration of this time the plate was taken to the photographer and developed, a perfect photograph of the hand being produced. If the exposure had been continued for twenty minutes longer a skeleton of the hand would have been produced.

PART FIRST

OVERRULED.

Tho Motion For a Change of Venue In PliH Hank's Case Coined to Naught.

All Tuesday afternoon the attorneys in the case of the State vs. Phil Hauk argued the motion for a change of venue before Judge Harney. M. E. Olodfelter spoke for Hauk and occupied several hours in reading newspaper clippings and reciting highly sensational stuff relative to the prejudice alleged to exist here against Hauk. Prosecutor Kennedy and Thomas & Whittington appeared for the State and presented short arguments.

Upon the conclusion of the matter Judge Harney stated that he would overrule the motion. The affidavits of the State were stronger than those of the plaintiff and from his own knowledge of the case he failed to see where prejudice existed to the extent of preventing a fair trial.

Hauk's case will come for trial next Monday, May 11, and will probably occupy several days time. There are about one hundred witnesses in the case and it will probably attract a large number of persons. The strongest evidence against Hauk will be his own signed confession of his participancy in the lamentable affair.

The several township graduating exercises will be held as follows: Coal Creek—New Richmond, Saturday, June 13.

Question.

Your daily issue of Friday, May 1, ought to be preserved because of its reference to the laws governing bicyclers and others on public highways. Familiarity with these regulations will serve to bring about a better understanding of their relative rights, and possibly avoid many accidents.

Among the references to liabilities, the first one and its latter half contains a thought worthy of special notice, viz: "A bicyclist injured while riding on Sunday for pleasure or business can not recover in States where Sunday laws are in force." Without further comment at present upon unnecessary pleasure riding or unlawful business transactions upon Sunday by bicyclers, let us inquire if the same laws hold good with regard to Sunday excursionists upon our railroads?

V. CITIZEN.

No More Drinking,

There must be no more drinking by employes of the Vandalia. The order was issued a co-iple of days ago and is perhaps the strictest order given in a long time. Employes of the road say they are forbidden to enters saloons whenever on or off duty. They attribute the order to the fact that officials of the road have often seen employes leave a saloon and go out on the road. Then, too, there area number of employes who have been seen loitering about saloons when off duty. The idea of the road in issuing the notice is that in case anything should happen and more men were needed all would be in condition to go out.
