FARE REPORTS.

There In No Diphtheria or Smrlotlnu at l'rei*cjiil In Cnuvfoulavillo.

For several days past it lias been currently reported about the streets that there are many cases of diphtheria and scarletina in town, and some have even gone so far as to advocate the closing of the public schools "until the dreadful pestilence abates." One enterprising butcher has been especially busy circulating reports of the prevalence of diphtheria and whileweighing out delectable chunks of bull beef detracts attention from the knotted and sinewy appearance of the same by confiding to terrified and uneasy mothers that the disease is rami pant, and that on his rounds he has seen many houses flying the danger Hag.

J. W. Small, editor of the Waynetown Dis}atcli, will probably turn the column rules this week and write' a double leaded editorial on marriage a failure. For some time past there has been a cold storage room atmosphere between Mr. Small and his wife, and Monday they decided that the approach of winter was calculated to only intensify the frigidity. Accordingly they separated and a deputation of knowing neighbors was called in to divide the plunder accumulated by Mr. and Mrs. Small during the term of their domestic felicity. The deputation acted with a precision and equity which strongly commends it for service in matters of international arbitrament. The two children were awarded to Mr. Small and the household goods to Mrs. Small. This arrangement proved satisfactory to all and after a hearty high hand shake Mr. and Mrs. Small parted to meet as strangers.

At Alamo.

The Republicans of Alamo and vi­

cinity know a good thing when they

hear it, as on the occasion of the

speech delivered Friday evening to the

McKinley Club by M. M. Luzader, of

Waynetown. It was an open meeting

in which all parties were interested,

so there was a sprinkling of Democrats

in the hall. Mr. Luzader made some

very telling hits and his points were

well received and loudly applauded.

He brought down the house with

laughter and applause in his ludicrous

comparisons of McKinley's and Bryan's

records since 1801. Mr. Luzader was

congratulated by all at the close of

his speech, and they all gave him a

hearty handshake. The Republicans

of Ripley commend him to any organi­

zation in the county that wishes a

good and sound argument on the

points at issue. G.

A Jolly at Uarlield.

Despite the inclement weather an

immense crowd was in attendance at

the regular meeting of the Garfield

McKinley Club at the Garfield school

house Monday evening. Prof. VV. E.

SlaveDs of the Shannondale schools, was the orator of the evening and

treated the club to an address full of

facts delivered with oratorical and

telling effect. It was a model of ex­

cellence and held his hearers with in­

tense interest for one hour and thirty

minutes. At the close of the address

some thirty or forty names were added

to the club list among the number be­

ing two life-long Democrats. Garfield

and vicinity are alive for Landis,

Mount and McKinley.

The (Jnall Law.

Complaint is made that parties are

out already hunting quails. The fol­

lowing State law is of interest on this

point:

"Whoever 6hoots or destroys or pur-

sures for the purpose of shooting or

destroying, or has in his possession

any quails or pheasants during the

period from the first day of January of

any year to the tenth day of Novem­

ber of the same year, shall be fined in

the sum of two dollars for each quail

or pheasant so killed, and the sum of

one dollar for each quail or pheasant

so pursued or had in his possession."

has received several

inquiries as to. the verity of these reports and has interviewed Dr. T. F. Leech, Secretary of the Board of Health regarding the matter. Said Dr. Leech: "These reports are miserable fakes and not the least cause for uneasiness exists. There is not now a single case of diphtheria in town and not one of scarletina either. The last case of diphtheria reported was one in the family of Dan Lipscomb, the barber, and that has been cured, the house disinfected and taken out of quarantine. No one need feel any uneasiness at all. There is no danger of diphtheria becoming epidemic here, or even prevalent."

WATSON AT DARLINGTON.

KlltllUHlMMll Without Houndx 1111(1 li relit SpilCl It.

Special to Tlu Journal. Daiimxii ton, Sept. 30.,—The Hon.

James E. Watson made one of his char­

acteristic speeches lust night in llulet

hall. It had been decided to hold an

out door meeting upon his coming but

the elements were against us proving

conclusively that the Lord chastiseth

those whom he lovctl Utliough the

rain came in torrents at times and

and darkness ana mua prevailed all

over the land, such was the anxiety

to hear the boy orator of the east,

that could overcome a Democratic ma­

jority of

2,000

in his own Congression­

al district, defeating one of the oldest

and most popular Democrats in Con­

gress, that the town was scarcely able

to hold the people and no hall in town

would or could hold one in ten of the

crowd. The boy and the girl with

their ever deafening McKinley tin

horn took the street in spite of the

rain and pandemoneum reigned su­

preme on the streets until a regular

old fashioned rally was in full running

order and a grand good time was had

in Darlington. Delegations were here

from Thorntown, Maci, Linden,

Howers, Garfield, Potato Creek and

Stock well. The Stock well Glee club

accompanying their delegation, were

placed on the stage and gave some

good selections pertaining to the cam­

paign. Our martial band had been

giving the crowd the soul stirring

strains of the fife and drum so that

when Wm. N. Bowers called the meet­

ing to order all were in a condition of mind (the body was too crowded) to

listen, and after some little confusion

the chairman introduced the speaker

who immediately congratulated himself upon the fact that the crowd was

the smallest he had stood before dur­

ing his campaign and that he could

be heard without any extra effort on

his part and that it was a rest for him

to get to speak in the house. He then

introduced the 1G to 1 proposition and

for some ninety minutes made the fal­

lacy of the thing so plain that the far­

mer though a fool need not err there­

in and certainly they were none such

present as his audience was composed

mostly of farmers of both parties and

both parts of one party. He then took

up the tariff and for

30

minutes ex­

plained it workings, showing the dif­

ference between the McKinley and

Wilson bills so plainly that nothing

but blind prejudice could withstand

his argument. Thus for two solid

hours did the audience, crammed and

packed as they were, sit and stand as

if rivetted to the 6pot and listen to his

logical reasoning, his bursts of elo­

quence and oratory as be warmed up

with his subject. Let him hint at a

joke and all went wild, showing the pent up enthusiasm of the crowd. At

the close of his speech he made a most

eloquent appeal to the better, sober

senses of all present to go home, think

and study and he would be satisfied

with the result and free and unlimited coinage of silver would be .relegated to go to the rear.

Will Come to Marmont.

The Missouri Military Academy at

Mexico, Mo., which was destroyed by

fire last week, will be temporarily re­

moved to Culver City, Ind., Marmont.

and run in connection with the acad-

eray at that place. The offer received

is a most advantageous one, and in

accepting it Col. Fleet, of the Mexico

Academy, has not only taken advant­

age of a proposition that will redound

greatly to his benefit, but it at once

raises the Culver Academy to the front

rank of military institutions in the

United States. Mr. H. II. Culver,

President of the Wrought Iron Range

Co., of St. Louis, tenders to Col. Fleet

and the M. M. A. cadets the use of the

Academy at Culver City. The build­

ings are all new and modern in con­

struction, and are absolutely fire­

proof, nothing but stone, brick and steel being U6ed in their construction.

They are in a very desirable loca­

tion, being on the banks of Lake Max-

inkuckee, on the Vandalia road.

Nearly all of the cadets who attended

the academy here have signified their intention of going to Culver City and

they will all meet in St. Louis next

Monday and be conveyed in special

cars to their destination, the Vandalia

road performing this service free. The

entire faculty of the Missouri Military

Academy will be retained and will supplant the instructors of the Culver institution.

The Kain Fall.

From Saturday until Tuesday 2£

inches of rain fell. This year,

in September, 0.87 inches came down,

against 7.4G inches in September last

year. Since the beginning of the year

31.57 inches have fallen. Last year,

for the nine months, ending with Sep­

tember, 22 04 inches fell.

Alfred Fowler, administrator of the

estate of Robert P. Fowler, Wednesday

through Crane & Anderson, brought

suit for 310,000 against the Vandalia

railroad company for causing the death

of the decedent. The complaint, after

setting forth the condition of the track

over Walnut Fork and reciting the

fact that it was rendered dangerous 011

occasions of high water, states that

on the evening of July 28 the decedent

in the capacity of a freight ccuductor

was at the Crawfordsville Junction

with his train. A very heavy rain had

fallen and Road master J. S. Brothers

called him to take his engine and with

his engineer and fireman to accompany

him on an inspection run to ascertain

the condition of two dangerous places.

The decedent did so and the first of

these two places was examined and

found to be safe. Mr. Brothers then

ordered him to run to the second place,

which lay beyond Walnut Fork. When

Walnut Fork was reached the engine

went down and the decedent lost his

life. It is stated that Mr. Fowler had

no way of knowing the unsafe condition of the Walnut Fork trestle and took the roadmaster's word as authority. The plaintiff further recites that decedent left a wife and two children who were dependent upon him for support. Judgment is demanded to the statuatory limit, §10,000.

The Appellate Court Tuesday

atlirmed the judgment given in the

Randolph Circuit Court against Rich­

ard A. Leavell et al. in favor of Benja­

min F. March, prosecuting attfuney.

Leavell, as clerk, collected S14.C00 in

various taxes and fees, and allowed

the money to-remain in his hands, in­

stead of turning it ovdr to the treas­

urer, until the Attorney-General com­

pelled the clerk to pay over the

money, charging a fee of 84,200 for the

service. The suit was to recover the

fee, and the judgment given below for

it was affirmed. The suit was brought

in 1S8!) and was decided in 1891. The

clerk's bondsmen were co-defendants.

On the Deadly Midland.

Lebanon Rctmrlcr: On last Saturday

evening as the east bound passenger

train on the C. S. E. was nearing Ad­

vance the rails on the south side of the

track began to turn and continued for

a distance of 100 or 150 yards. There

were but three passengers, but they

received enough "shaking up for

fifty." The train was stopped and on

examination it was found that the

trucks under the baggage car were

crossways and to proceed further was

impossible. The passengers were

taken aboard the engine and carried to Advance, where the west bound passenger was waiting.

The School Directors.

The election of school directors oc­

curs in the several school districts on

Saturday, Oct. 3, 1800, at 7 p. m. The

election is held at the school house,

and in case no election is held the

Trustee will appoint. The office of

school director is a very important

one and a director can very materially

aid the Trustee in school matters, pro­

vided the director is the right kind of a man for the place.

West Point School.

School will commence at the West

Point school house, No. 20, on Mon­

day, October 12, 1896, with Miss Flora

Harwood as teacher. This house has

been removed a mile east from the

former location, and is now in the cen­

ter of the district, and its present loca­

tion is one of the prettiest in Union

THE FAIRBANKS MEETING.

Notwithstanding the inclement

weather MusicHall was packed Tuesday

night from pit to dome with an intelli­

gent, eager and enthusiastic crowd of

Republicans to listen to the magnifi­

cent address delivered by lion. C. W.

Fairbanks. He was escorted to the

hall from the hotel by the Veteran

and Sons of Veterans' League, the

Morton Club, tha Wheelman's Club,

the Mount and Landis drum corps, and

the Crawfordsville band. Three hun­

dred and eighty Republican voters

were in line, but on account of the

muddy condition of the streets were

compelled to keep to the sidewalks.

Arriving at the hall every seat was

soon taken and -many were compelled

to stand. Not many ladies were pres-

emt, so that it might be called a meet­

ing of voters, and in this respect dif­

ferent from the Democratic meeting

of last Saturday, not that Republican

women are less interested than Demo­

cratic women, but because of the inau-

spiciousevening. The country precincls

were well represented,so that all in all it was an audience which was not only

complimentary to the speaker but to

the cause which he represents. Hon.

Milton B. Waugh was called upon to

preside, and after two numbers by the

band, introduced Mr. Fairbanks, who

for an hour and three-quarters enter­

tained that vast audience with a clean

cut and able exposition of the financial

and tariff subjects. The attention

given the speaker was an evidence of

the great interest of the people in

these important questions,

DUDLEY YOUNG'S WILL.

The Supreme Court MakeH a KuliiiK Which ltcverMUH the Decision of tTio Montgomery Circuit Court.

The supreme court has reversed the

decision of the Montgomery circuit

court in the Wm. Dudley Young will

case. Several years ago Wm. Dudley

Young, one of the most substantial

citizens of this county, died at Ladoga,

and by his will left only a small por­

tion of his estate to his two grand­

daughters, the children of his dead

son, Lafayette Young. The estate

proper went-to his widow and after

her death he provided in his will it

shduld go to his nephew, Robert

Young, and his grandson, Wm. Dudley

oung, Jr. The cause of his leaving

his granddaughters out lay in the fact

that he had had a great deal of trouble

with them in a legal way and had be­

come much embittered against them,

charging them with disobedience and

maliciousness. These girls, Mrs. Sarah

A. Miller and Miss ('.race Young,

brought suit to break the will and the

trial, over which Judge J. V. Had ley,

of Hendricks county, presided, was an

interesting one. It was closely con­

tested and the jury finally returned a

verdict for the plaintiffs, thus break­

ing the will. The case was prornptlv

appealed and Judge Hackney of the

supreme court lias handed down the

opinion reversing the case. Me holds

that a prima facie case made by the

plaintiff must always stand unless its force is broken by the defendant's evi­

dence, but the defendant is never re­

quired, under his general denial, to

negative the truth of the plaintiff's

prima face case by a preponderance of

the evidence. If the plaintiff does not

have a preponderance of the evidence,

or if the evidence is equally balanced

betweeen the plaintiff and the defend­

ant the plaintiff is not entitled

to

re­

cover. 2. The piirase "unsound mind"

as employed in Section 2720, Revised

Statutes, 1891, was employed with ref­

erence to the existing and then well

understood legal definition of testa­

mentary capacity, which is a mental

condition not wholly sound, but pos­

sessing the scope and power to com­

prehend the property subject to be­

stowal, the uatural objects of such

bounty, including their just deserts,

and to direct and execute a testament

bestowing such property without influ­

ence from existing mental infirmity.

Vyse Fined.

John Vyse paid a fine Tuesday for

violating the liquor laws and by so do­

ing blighted the hopes of Linden's

temperance people. These people had

a sure case against Vy6e but stated to

him that if he would give a S500 bond

not to sell liquor again for thirty years

they would not prosecute him. Vyse

by paying the fine declares that he in­

tends to again embark in the liquor traffic.
