A CHKYSANTHEMM WEDDIM

The Mnrrlage offtlr. Btuijutnln Crnuo ftu Miss Mary K. Cau\|il)ttU CoTifumimtiltHi at Center VrvHbytMrinn Church

Tuesday KveuiiiK.

Tuesday evening at 8:30 o'clock occurred in the Center Presbyterian church the marriage of Mr. Benjamin Crane and Miss Mary E. Campbell, daughter of Professor and Mrs. John Lyle Campbell. The handsome auditorium of the church had been elaborately and artistically decorated for the occasion and presented an unusually attractive appearance. It was distinctly a chrysanthemum wedding, and these royal llowers were extensively used in the work of adornment, the prevailing colors being yellow and white. The altar was heavily banked with palms and ferns, whose solid color effect was relieved by the brighter hues of the exquisite flowers. The railing of the choir loft was entwined with graceful vines and the columns of the room were wound from lloor to ceiling with ivy. The seats in the center section, reserved for the relatives and friends, were designated by broad bands of white satin ribbon tied in large bows at the pew-ends and enclosing the seats reserved. In the bows at the pew ends' were caught large bunches of chrysanthemums. The guests began arriving early and before the hour 6et for the service every seat in the auditorium was taken. Those for whom the seats had been reserved were the last to enter, the immediate families of the contracting parties occupying the front pews. While the guests were assembling the sister of the bride, Mrs. A. 15. Anderson, who presided at the organ, played Jensen's bridal music and the Intermezzo from "Cavalleria Rusticana." At the stated time for the ceremony the notes of the "Bridal Chorus" from Lohengrin were played and Misses Edna Dice, Fannie Biuford, May Kline and Mrs. W. F. lfulet. gowned in costumes of white organdie and carrying huge bouquets of yellow chrysanthemums, entered the choir loft from the vestry, singing the beautiful and touching words of the great chorus As the chorus was rendered the bridal party approached the altar. The groom and his be&t man, Mr. Adolph Wislizenus, of St. Louis, entered from the south vestry and were preceded by the officiating clergymen, l!ev. A. J. Alexander and Dr. J. F. Tuttle. The bride and her attendants came to the altar down the west aisle and were preceded by the ushers, Messrs. A. A. McCain and J. A. Greeue, and Finley LJ. Mount E.nd Rev. John A. Blair, of Terre Haute. The bridesmaids, Miss Elinor Byrns, of Lafayette, and Miss Ellen Baker, of Indianapolis, followed the ushers. Their gowns were of white organdie, with yellow sashes, high neck and long sleeves, and they carried shower bouquets of yellow chrysanthemums. They preceded the maid of honor, Miss Mary Peck Thomson, of Chicago. Miss Thomson's costume was embroidered crepe de chene, pearl girdle, decollette and with short sleeves. Her llowers were yellow chrysanthemums, tied with yellow satin ribbons. The bride came last on her father's arm and was attired in a costume of mousclinc dc soic over white taffeta silk, en train, tulle veil, high neck and long sleeves. She carried an exquisite shower bouquet of bride's roses tied with white satin ribbons. At the altar the bride was met by the groom and the wedding party took position in a semi-circle before the clergymen. During the services Mrs. Anderson played "Andante" by Carl Bohm and Uenselt's "Liebeslied." The ceremony was performed by Rev. A. J. Alexander in a solemnly impressive manner, the ritual used being the abridged jrm of the Episcopal service but including the marriage by the ring. After the taking of the vows a beautifully eloquent prayer was offered by Dr. Tuttle and the two were pronounced one by the Rev. Mr. Alexander. The quartette then chanted "The Lord's Prayer" after which the benediction was pronounced and to the strains of Mendelsshon's march the wedding party, led by the bride and groom, passed out of the church by the east aisle. The guests remained seated until the relatives had also passed out. At the church door the party took carriages for the home of the bride's parents on College Hill where the relatives, members of the bridal party and quartette were entertained at a wedding supper which was served after congratulations and well wishes had been extended. The floral decorations at the house were also elaborate and complete, the same effect in yellow and white being preserved. The bride's table in the dining room was lighted by handsome candlebra and was banked with white roses and yellow chrysanthemums on ferns. The

presents to the bride were displayed upstairs and made an unusually large and magnificent collection, including u. large amount of silver, cut glass and costly pottery. Shortly after midnight Mr. and Mrs. Crane left for the east on their bridal tour, their destination being kept secret. They will return early in November, however, and on the afternoon and evening of Tuesday, November 17, they will be tendered a reception by the bride's parents at their home on College Hill. Those present at the wedding from out of the city were: Mr. and Mrs. Jules Pitzman, of St. Louis, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Wallace, of Indianapolis, Mr. Adolph Wislizenus, of St. Louis, Miss Mary Peck Thomson, of Chicago, Miss Nellie Baker, of Indianapolis, Miss Elinor Byrns, of Lafayette, Mrs. John R. McLain, of Minneapolis, Miss Harriet Clelarid, of Indianapolis, Mrs. Mary Thomson, of Minneapolis, Mrs Landon Cabell Rose, of Chicago, Miss Bessie Hendricks, of Indianapolis, Mrs. Hillary, of Indianapolis, Albert Baker and family,of Indianapolis, Mrs. Jennie Blair and Rev.

Comes Out in Favor of Sound Money.

The Popocratic camp was thrown into a State of demoralization Wednesday when it became known that J. J. Mills, hitherto one of the leading and most active members cf the Democratic local organization, and who two years ago was the Chairman of the County Central Committee, had publicly renounced all allegiance to the mongrel party as it is at present constituted. Dr. C. E. Scholl, of Carroll county, was advertised to make a speech at Waynetown, and it was at this meeting that Mr. Mills took occasion to announce his position. He presided and introducing the speaker made a speech of ten or fifteen minutes in length in which he denounced the Chicago platform and boldly declared that he could not and would not vote for Mr. Bryan. Like thousands of other Demoeiats all over the land he had been wrestling with himself in the endeavor to reconcile the utterances of that convention with former Demo cratic declarations, not onlj' on the financial question, but on the insidious attack on our highest judicial tribunal, the thrcrii, to pack it in the interest of an ephemeral idea, and the vicious doctrine promulgated that it was not within the power of the United States to enforce own laws. He said he had always be?n a Democrat, but he belonged to the school of Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Benton, Tilden and Cleveland, and not to the school of Bryan, Altgeld, Tillman and others of lesser light. He said he was no repudiator nor nullifier—he was a Democrat, not a revolutionist, and as he was in favor of sound money he should vote against Wm. J. Bryan for President. At the conclusion of his remarks he introduced the speaker, Dr. Scholl, who in a most scholarly, thoughtful and logical address entertained the large audience present for the remainder of the evening.

Thin Is Kicli.

Bloomington World: Throckmorton, the young fellow from Lafayette who was arrested last Tuesday for passing a forged check on Clerk Carter, of the National hotel, and subsequently indicted by the grand jury, has repented the error of his way and has expressed himself as willing to be good now, and hencetorth, provided the present charge is not pushed.

Judge W. C. L. Taylor, of Lafayette, arrived in the city Saturday evening in the capacity of attorney, to see if some arrangement might be made whereby the matter might be adjusted satisfactorily to all parties concerned and the young man given his liberty. Judge Taylor was employed by the young man's parents, who are well-to-do citizens of Lafayette. Owing to the feet that Judge Giles was at Bedford and Prosecutor Edmondson absent from the city, Judge Taylor failed to accomplish his purpose and returned to Lafayette on the midnight passenger. Judge Taylor, however, visited his client in jail. Young Throckmorton professed to be very penitent and promised faithfully, if given his liberty that he would go for and sin no more.

THE COLEMAXS CAPTURED.

The Cliiclten TliievR Ar .i Taken Into Casnp at Frankfort Aftur an ICxeitinfj Affray.

The Frankfort Times of Tuesday morning says: 'For several weeks the farmers and people living in small towns in Montgomery county have been receiving frequent visits from housebreakers and chicken thieves. They also frequently branched out into other counties. The operations of the gang became so bold and their visitsso numerous that all the power of she law was brought into use to bring the marauders to justice. The notorious Gus Freeman was a member of the gang. "In their efforts to bring the thieves within the law, the Crawfordsville officials sent descriptions all over the country. One of these descriptions came here, and to that fact the capture of two of the gang may be attributed. While passing along the east side of the square near the postolli :e yesterday morning, Marshal Bird noticed two young men reading a letter. He thought they were the men wanted, but made matters doubly sure by stepping up behind them, where he could see the contents of the letter they were reading. It was from a woman in Crawfordsville, and warned them to remain away from that city, as the officers were after them Bird immediately placed both men under arrest and started to jail with them. AB they neared the jail, however, they changed their minds and suddenly tried to break away from the oilicer. One of them drew a revolver and thus secured Bird's undivided attention for a few minutes, the other fellow getting away, but the man with the revolver was quickly lauded in jail. "As the man who got away crossed Clinton street Officer Denton saw him and gave chase. Near the High School building Tank Anderson undertook to stop the fleeing man, but the sight of the revolver convinced Mr. Anderson that he had no further objections to make. He ran east on Walnut street to John Young's house and crawled under the porch. At first he refused to come out, and made a threatening display of the gun, but when he saw that Denton was in earnest he crawled out. "The men gavo the name of Coleman and were, a few days ago run thirtyfive miles by Miller's Darlington blood hounds. Detective L. W. Cochran, of

Crawfordsville, jand S. M. Miller, the blood hound man, came up on the evening train after the men. Word was received from Kokomo last night that another of the gang nad been arrested there, and they went up after him on the early train this morning."

AltE TKKKOI1S.

Tuesday morning Messrs. Coclirnn and Miller arrived from Frankfort 1 charge of the Colemans and locked them in the jail. A warrant was at once issued for their alleged sister, Ida Coleman, and in twenty minutes she also was hung up behind ithe bars. Roe Miller speaking of the arrest said: "These fellows are not named Coleman at all, and they are not brothers, although the girl is really the sister of the youngest. They are part of a regular gang of thieves which has infested Cass, Howard, Clinton and Montgomery counties for along time. They have been regular terrors and have gobbled up thousands of dollars' worth of property. Several of the gang have come to grief before these fellows we have nabbed and others are still at liberty. Coming down from Frankfort on Tuesday they acknowledged their leader is still at large and presumably in Crawfordsville, but they further stated that they would die before revealing his his identity. A number of crimes can be easily fastened on them and on Tuesday they volunteered to plead guilty to the chicken stealing cases provided the other crimes are overlooked. They are the same fellows who did the wholesale burglarizing at Darlington a week ago Saturday night and acknowledged that they had been very nearly captured by my dogs. They refuse to state, however, how they so mysteriously escaped."

Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. Attention is called to the advertisement of the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune in another column. The C.

It is reliably Republican in polities, and bssides it possesses many features of interest to the farm and fireside.

A CHANCE FOR THE TALENT.

The "confident and enthusiastic Democracy" of Crawfordsville and the region round about haven't been wearing their legs off short by the hot liaste with which they hfive come to the front to back their confidence with coin. It's a mighty hard thing for Republicans to get bets and most of those already taken have been taken at odds. It might possibly be, however, that small bets don't interest the talent and that they are looking for bigger game. If this be the case they can rest easy. C. N. Williams has received from Philadelphia a draft for 51,000 with instructions to place it if possible as a wager on McKinley's election. As custodian of this money Mr. Williams has deposited it in the bank and is waiting, sadly waiting for the cock-sure opposition to come forward and cover it. In case of their doing so and wanting more Mr. Williams is inclined to think there is another similar draft where the present one came from.

Tb«'Ki«rdeii'rt Troulilrn,

Brother B. F. Teegarden has troubles and has whispered them into the sympathetic ear of the circuit court concluding with a fervent prayer for monetary solace. Brother Teegarden had a horse (observe tho past tense, please) and that horse was the pride of the pasture. Nary ringbone or spavin marred his unexceptionable and incomparable anatomy. His ancestry ran back on a bee line to the blood of Bucephelus, Thompson's colt and other equine celebrities and but for an untoward accident, for which the Vandalia railroad was wholly and reprehensibly responsible brother Teegarden's favorite might have even eclipsed his illustrious sires. The Vandalia railroad company, however, which has the record of never having killed a plug again got in its deadly work on a standard bred. It didn't maintain a proper fence along the right of way and brother Teegarden's fine horse wandered up the track to see if Bryan wasn't on the rear platform when the train went by. When the train went by, however, the noble best gazed at the rear platform from the jasper battlements of horse heaven. The cow catcher coyly gave him a swift shove which sent him forty feet in the air and even spoiled him for dog meat. His owner asks
