A Fine Display.

George Luse has placed on exhibition in C. L. Host's window a number of beaiitiful photographic views of residences and interior scenes in residences taken by him in his work through Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. The views are from the most elegantly appointed mansions in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Indianapolis and other cities and present a very attractive appearance. Several interior views from Gen. Harrison's home are among the collection. The work is of highly artistic character and commands great admiration.

Entries for the State Fair.

Since the entry fees have been abolished at the State fair, the exhibit has grown from year to year, and this year the increase is more marked than in previous years. The entries which close in all departments Sept. 7, are coming to the secretary's office at a rapid rate will be the largest ever received. The application for space in the mechanical department as well as the live stock is about to exhaust the available grounds and stables. The rates will be so low that everyone can attend the State fair.

there appeared in the

Journal an article copied from the Logansport Reporter relating to the rrbbery of C. D. Billman, of Logansport, and John Mount, of this city. The article set forth a wholly, erroneous statement of the robbery and published among other things that '"the robbers secured a roll of nearly S500 which Billman had collected and secreted in his shoes before starting. They dismissed the frightened men with several parting shots one of which tore a hole through the crown of Mount's hat." The headlines of the article were as follows: "WhataCheerful Liar That Man Billman from Logansport Must Be—A Cock and Bull Story." Monday evening Mr. Billman reached Crawfordsville and made an indignant protest against the article in question. He showed that he had never told such a story to the Logansport Reporter or any one else and that the Reporter had merely copied without credit a grossly exaggerated account of the affair sent to a Cincinnati paper. The reflection cast upon Mr. Billman, therefore, was a most unjust one and the Journal takes pleasure in thus setting the matter right. Mr. Billman very properly feels that he suffered enough in the experience without having his veracity called in question.

Rev. Hugh Taylor and wife, missionaries to Laos, Farther Asia, arrived on Tuesday at Darlington to visit S. S. Martin, father of Mrs. Taylor. They have been gonce since 1888 and now have three little girls who saw their grandfather for the first time Tuesday.

A DASTARD'S DEED.

An Inhuman Wretch Cuts the Throats or Two Stallion* and Then Fired a Ham to Hide Ilia Work.

Mondaly night the big barn of Henry Tomlinson, north of the city on the Lafayette road, was burned to the ground with all its contents. About 10 o'clock Mr. Tomlinson discovered that his barn was on fire and in a mass of roaring (lames. Greatly excited he rushed to the building, intent on rescuing three fine horses belonging to himself and two stallions belonging to George Goben, which were in the building. Entering the barn Mr. Tomlinson seized his own horses and by almost superhuman efforts ho succeeded in getting them out. The barn was filled with stilling smoke and burning embers fell about him as he struggled with the frenzied animals in their stalls. It seemed every minute that the building would fall in and burn man and beast in hot and horrid death. The terrifically hot interior of the barn almost overcame Mr. Tomlinson and his clothes frequently caught on firel Coals of fire fell from above on his hands and neck, blistering and cooking the ilesh. The horses also suffered from similar tortures and when the open air was finally gained all were almost dead. Mr. Tomlinson was borne to the house where he is now confined, suffering intensely. His hair was burned off and one ear burned nearly to a crisp.

He was unable to do anything for Goben's stallions, for they were dead when he entered the barn, their throats having been cut previous to the tiring of the building. When Mr. Tomlinson entered they were lying down and he did not know what was the matter until after the fire was over.

Nothing was saved from the barn except the three horses Mr. Tomlinson so heroically risked his life to save, and the great structure was a complete loss, together with vehicles, harness, implements, 271 bushels of wheat, 150 bushels of corn, 100 bushels of oats and a large quantity of hay, entailing a total loss of 81,500 exclusive of Goben's loss and a loss of 8175 by Morfc Tomlinson, who had a new feurrey and other property stored in the barn.

The terribly criminal part of the affair has Caused a deep feeling of indignation in the neighborhood. The fellow who cut the horses' throats evidently intended to conceal his deed by firing ,he barn and thus giving the impression that the animals perished in the llames. The wind, however, gave evidence of the crime in an unexpected manner. It blew the fire from a corner of the barn pvhere one of the young stallions lay so that its body was not badly burned. It was found after the fire with its throat cut and lying in a pool of blood. The other animal was, however, burned to a crisp as the dastard, of course, intended both should be.

The horses were quartered in the Tomlinson barn by Goben who employed Aaron Ross to care for them. Ross was in bed asleep at the time of the fire. The horses were insured for §250 apiece by the Indiana and Ohio Live Stock Insurance Company, the policies having been taken out only a short time ago.

There seems to be no clew as to the identity of the perpetrator of the outrage and if anyone is suspected nothing is being said as yet. It is not unlikely, however, that the next week will witness interesting developments.

FOUND THEM SHY.

IS 11 irgtarH "Kmer Two KcftMeucfiH and Secure the l'rlncely Pot of Thlrty-Fivo CentH.

Burglars were out in the south end Tuesday night and had small reward for 'all their toil and trouble. About 1 o'clock C. M. Coutant, of south Water street, was awakened by hearing some one under his window and leaped out of bed to repel the invaders. The noise he made caused the marauders to ilee and going further down the street they stopped at the residence of James LI. Stump, a clerk in Jake Joel's clothing store. A heavy growth of vines was cut away from one of the windows, the screen torn out, the window sash raised and the entrance effected. The burglars passed through two rooms to the sleeping apartment occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Stump and their little daughter. The burglars passed the child's bed to that of its parents and secured the pantaloons of the head of the house. They then escaped by unlocking an outside door.

None of the family were aroused and the pantaloons were dropped outside, thirty cents being abstracted from the pockets.

The residence of Ed Sargent on south Washington street was next visited and an entrance gained through a window. Mr. Sargent's aged father sleeps down stairs and the burglars had secured his pantaloons and taken a solitary nickel from the pockets when the old gentleman awoke and called out. Ed heard his cry and came hustling down stairs. Too late, however, to be of service as the thieves had decamped with their precious booty and made good their escape.

Blames the Other Side.

The Brazil Times blames the Lebanon end of the fake prize fight for the failure of the affair and laments as follows: "Two special trains were to have been run on the Midland, one from this city and one from Anderson. The fare from here was to have been 82, which included admission to the fight. A deal of interest was worked up in the matter and not less than three hundred were prepared to take in the fight from tlm city and the special train stood at the depot liere ready to pull them out. Gates had been tumbled off to bed early in the evening and was feeling 0$ strong as a lion and as merry a& a lark ifl bis perfect confidence of his ability to best }iis man. About 10 o'clock, or about three hours before the train was to pull out, a telegram was received from Kelly's backers stating that the fight had been declared off and that the special train at that end of the road would not start. There was no excuse given for this action, or nothing said to justify this unusual procedure, hence our people could not help but feel sore, and it is probable that a couple of interested persons will go to Lebanon to demand an explanation and reparation. There was no forfeit posted and this leaves Gates out his time and expense money. "We learn later that the reason the Lebanon sports failed to come was that they failed to raise sufficient money to get a train."

Cox-Shelton.

At the beautiful residence of Elder Vancleave occurred the marriage of John Cox and Mattie L. Shelton, Sunday morning of last week at 8 o'clock. Only a few relatives and intimate friends were present. The bride wore an elaborate gown of cream albatross trimmed in lace and taflety and satin ribbons and carried bride's roses. The groom wore a conventional suit of black. Mr. Cox is one of the most promising young men of West School House, and has won for his bride one of the sweetest ana most handsome young ladies of the Christian society of Smartsburg. Mr. Cox is to assist the Big Four railroad company. In the near future they will take up their residence in Crawfordsville. We extend our congratulations to each of them AFuiknd.

Accident to Captain Hot.on.

About 1:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon Capt. W. P. Herron was driving along near the corner of Wabash and Grant avenues when his horse took fright at the steam roller and made a dash onto the sidewalk. A telephone pole was struck and the buggy and harness were sadly demolished. The Captain was thrown heavily to the pavement and was cut about the head, also suffering an injury to his thigh. He was taken home and is resting as easily as could be expected. His injuries are painful but not serious.

Thumb Cut Oil".

Tuesday evening Emery Krug caught his thumb in the rip saw at the plan1 ing mill and had it cut off.

PART FIRST

FOSTER'S FORECAST.

Tho Wvat!i*r rrnphot Who I Ian so Greatly Hcllpxed Old ltIclfTulln lis All About It.

Warm wave will cross the west of Rockies country about September 1st, great central valleys 3rd, Eastern

States 5th. Cool wave will cross tlie: west of Rockies country about 4th, great Central Valleys Gtli, Eastern States 8th.

The second disturbance of September will reach the Pacific coast about th, cross the west of Rockies country by close of Sth, the great Central Valleys 9 to 11th, Eastern States 12th.

Warm wave will cross the west of Rockies country about 7tli, great Cen-» tral Valleys !th, Eastern States 11th. Cool wave will cross the west of Rockies country about the 10th, great Central Valleys 12tli, Eastern States 14th.

These two disturbances will constitute the severe storm period of September. In bulletin of August 1st the following was published: "A series of storm waves on land and sea will run through the remainder of 1890. The worst of these will occur not far from August 12th, September !)th, October 8th, November 1st or Sth and December Sth and 20th."

The severe storms that crosses the continent from 11th to 13th of August, in which many lives were lost, fully sustained the forecast.

September 3rd to 9th will be the return of the same disturbing forces and I expect the storms to be more severe than those of August.

The exact dates cannot now be given but the first of these disturbances will probably begin to increase in force in the great central valleys about September 4th, in the Eastern States about Gth and will become a severe storm increasing in force as it goes out on the Atlantic.

Killing frosts may be expected in northern latitudes following this disturbance in Rocky mountain country, about 10th and great central valleys about 12th.

The central path of these storms will probably not be far from the fortieth parallel. If tornadoes occur they will probably be in tte Southern States. Thunder storms and the heaviest winds and rains will probably occur in middle latitudes,

Temperature of the week. Atighst 30th to September 5th inclusive, will average about normal in all parts of the country and rainfall will be gen-', erally deficient.

A New ICec-tor For St. John's.

To the Kditor of tbo Journal.

Kindly permit me to address a word or two to the members of St. John's Episcopal church, its adherents and many kind friends. 1 leave your midst to take charge of other work after a short sojourn! among you as minister in charge of8 t/he parish. But I feel it encumbent upon me to give my parting words of thanks for the kind sympathy and the earnest support which my many kind friends gave me which made it hard for me to sever my relationship with the work at Crawfordsville. 1 leave the church here in the care of my successor, who comes next Sunday, Sept. litli—the Rev. Charles li. Schulcze, of New York City, formerly assistant minister of the Church of the Transfiguration. His experience and ability will make him a valuable leader in the caube for which he stands. Therefore, I trust that he will be cordially welcomed and his friendship early sought, for he comes as a stranger among you.

Cheeky Thief.

Van Sidener has three wheat sacks with the name of G. W. Warren printed on which the owner can have by calling for them. They were left by some thief who was stealing wheat from Mr. Sidener's granary, and finding that they would not hold wheat he left them and filled Sidener's good sacks and left him with the bag to hold or the bag with the holes.
