DEATH OF WM. P. HARGRAVE.

lie Whs :i .Man Distinguished at the liar ami in the Pulpit—Sou of a Noted Pioneer Preacher.

Monday evening at 10: i0 o'clock Rev. Wm. P. Ilargrave died, after a short but painful illness of congestion of the stomach, at his home on Marshall street. Mr. Ilargrave was born in Crawfordsville on June 1. 1S32, and was the eldest son of Richard and Anna P. Ilargrave. Richard Ilargrave was one of the most powerful and celebrated Methodist preachers of Indiana and hundreds of the older citizens will well remember him. William Ilargrave was one of a family of eight children, three of whom survive: Richard W. Hargrave, of Marshalltown, Iowa, John W. Ilargrave, of St. Mary's, Kansas, and Caroline J. Campbell, of Attica. Mr. Ilargrave was lirst married to Miss Mattie Erskine on Sept. 25, ISfiO. Her death occurred Oct. lrf, 1S86. liis second marriage was to Miss Martha O'Neal, of this city, on June 7, 1805. Mr. Ilargrave was graduated from DePauw University in 1854, and after a time spent in the study of law entered the practice at Evansville. He was eminently successful and his ability resulted in his nomination for Judge of the circuit court. He was elected and filled the position with credit for a number of years. After his retirement from the bench, however, he resigned the practice of law and entered the Methodist ministry. He filled a. number of excellent charges acceptably, finally retiring and locating in this city. During the war Mr. Hargrave served in the Union army with great credit. He was also a member of the Masonic fraternity. Mr. Hargrave was a gentleman of exceptionally pleasing presence and was gifted beyond the sphere of intellect and education. He was gentle, kind and considerate and his life a fit exemplification of the virtues of the model citizen.

The funeral occurred on Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at Trinity M. E. church and was conducted by Revs. J. W. Greene and J. G. Stephens.

OPPOSITE COURT HOUSE.

LEBANON IS SORE.

A Kndicul Move On th» Part of Natural (ins Company. Calls Forth a Howling lVotrst.

A special from Lebanon says: About one month ago the Indiana Natural and Illuminating Gas Company, with headquarters at Crawfordsville, adopted a rule requiring patrons here to pay for cooking stoves three months in advance, instead of in monthly installments, as heretofore. The rule aroused considerable indignation at the time, and there was talk of enjoining the collections, but no action was taken. ...

Now that the time for the enforcement of the new order has arrived, public indignation has been given a fresh impetus. Several of the consumers have tendered the old monthly rate, but the otlicials have refused to settle on those terms. The company allows its customers to pay by the month, but adds a penalty of 123-d cents on the regular rates for the privilege. A number have refused to pay the increase, and the company has notified all such that unless the new order is complied with, the gas will be turned off. January 10 is the last day for payment.

Last night a largely attended mass meeting of the citi/.ens was held in the court house, and a committee was appointed, consisting of two from each ward, to canvass the sentiment of the citizen body and report at an adjourned meeting Wednesday night, to which the city council and city attorney will be invited. A plan of action will be decided upon at this meeting.

if O be N a Compared with the observations taken by the weather bureau during the last twenty-five years, the temperature last month, 3(5 degrees, was 3 degrees above the average. The highest temperature last month was 01 degrees on the 12th, the lowest 12 degrees on' the 1st: the greatest daily range 24 degrees on the 11th,' and the least three degrees on the 19th. The total precipitation last month was 1.13 inches, leaving a deficiency of 1.02 inches for the month and 3 25 inches for the whole year. There were five clear days, fourteen partly cloudy days, twelve cloudy days, and on six days there was .01 inch or more of precipitation. The prevailing direction of the wind was from the south and the Lighest velocity it attained was thirtysix miles an hour from the southwest on the fifty.

Law Kor tlio Ladies.

The Supreme Court ha6 made some decisions recently that are of interest to married women. It has determined that a woman holding land which she has acquired by virtue of a first marriage, and having children by such marriage, may execute a valid lease of such land for the term of her natural life, while living with a second husband, provided he joins her in executing it. Such a lease is valid where the consideration is a single payment of money made when the lease is executed. Also that money earned by a married woman by doing any labor, except that done for her husband and family, belongs to her and she may sue to collect it. Where a married woman boards, nurtes and keeps her husband's brother she may recover from his estate pay for doing so by a suit in his own name.

.father l^innen's I'rcwnl.

Lafayette Courier: The police were notified this morning that a strange woman was canvassing the town, seeking to secure contributions with which to purchase a present for the Very Rev. John R. Dinnen. rector of St. Mary's church, She secured 82 from one person, and is said to have collected quite a neat little sum from people who felt happy at the prospect of giving something to the popular priest. The woman, according to Father Dinnen's impression, is an imposter, and has been working the public. He informed the police, and they began a hasty investigation, hoping to run the canvasser to earth.

FOR COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

Ciipl. K. T. McCi-ea. Kepresi'iitill i%•( of .MoiitKouuT.v County, Will IntroUnco Itill to Tlnit l'.ll'dct In r. tin* I.CK-islature.

Capt. 10. T. McCrea, representative of Montgomery county, has prepared a bill providing for compulsory education in Indiana and will introduce it during this session of the Legislature. This bill makes it obligatory on all parents, guardians or other persons with whom children between the ago of six and fourteen years reside to see that said children attend the public schools for a stated number of months each year, unless the children bo incapacitated by sickness. The bill also provides that all school teachers shall keep a record of the children between six and fourteen years residing in the districts where they teach and upon the conclusion of a school term shall report to the prosecuting attorney all cases where parents or guardians have failed to send children of the stated age to school. For a violation of this law parents, guardians or others having the care of children, shall be punished in a sum not less than 85.00 or over 825.00 for each offense.

In case a child should finish the common school course before his fifteenth year his parents would be exempted from sending him longer.

tieneral "Wallace"* Race.

Indianapolis News: There is a great deal of lobby talk to the effect that Lew Wallace is being starred with 1898 in view. His supporters do not take kindly to this sort of talk they declare he is a candidate for the seat Daniel W. Voorhees will vacate, aud not for the one David Turpie will surrender in two years. Men who go about with pencil and paper "checking up" the Republican Senators and Representatives allow him three votes at this time and twenty-one or twenty-two if the "field" should make him its candidate and his friends who surround him, receive cordially all who call at his headquarters. He himself especially agreeable to veterans of the war who drop in to pay their respects. He likes to wander down into the lobby oocaBionally and have short chats with his friends there.

At a meeting of the Boone County Veteran McKinley Club, held in Lebanon last night, the candidacy of Gen. Lew Wallace for United StateB Senator was indorsed and his election was urged by a unanimous vote of the club.

How .Mayor Humld's Succesnor is Chosen. Section 3434 of the statuteB provides that all vacancies in the office of Mayor, Clerk or Councilman of any incorporated city occurring in any manner, shall be filled by appointment of the Common Council of such city. Such appointees shall hold office until the election and qualification of his succebsor who shall be elected at the next general election after such vacancy. The present Council stands a tie, three Democrats and three "Republicans. It will be a difficult matter to fill the vacaucy. The proper thing to do under these circumstances will be for the six members to agree upon some good representative citizen regardless of his party affiliations and all vote.for him.

To Center on Wallace.

An Associated Press dispatch from Indianapolis says: "It is 6aid to be the intention of the anti-Fairbanks people ultimately to center on Lew Wallace. The managers of William R. McKeen's campaign, it is said, have realized for several weeks that their candidate was beaten. For the last three days it has been noticeable that there is a close tie between the men who are looking after the Wallace boom and the men from Terre Haute, who have the McKeen camgaign in charge. The "workers" in the party are against Wallace. They say they have great admiration for him as a citizen, but they do not think much of him as a politician."

Meeting of Two Old Comrades. Dr. Henry 15. Gallaher is in the city the guest of John W. Cletnson. Mr. Gallaher was a comrade of Mr. Clemson in the 4iith Ohio regiment. They enlisted together from the same place, and were bunk-mates during their entire term of service. Soon after their muster-out Dr. Gallaher went to California where he remained until about seven months ago when he removed to Kalamazoo, Mich. This is the first time the two old comrades met since they were mustered out, thirty-two years ago.

IllllIlOI'M.

It is rumored that a young gentleman of this city was secretly married recently to an Alamo young lady who iB making her home in Crawfordsville.

The same small bird whispers that a Linden lad will next spring wed a Crawfordsville belle somewhat his senior.

New Luw for Odd l-Yllow*. The Odd Fellows of this city will be pleased to learn of a new law that was enacted by the last session of the Sovereign Grand Lodge. Heretofore it has been necessary when a member of any subordinate or grand lodge intended leaving his State to travel, for hiin to secure his lodge or visiting card for the purpose of being admitted to lodges outside the jurisdiction of his grand lodge. Under the new law every subordinate lodge in all States is now compelled to keep a form of receipt which every member is entitled to have one on the payment of a quaj ter's dues, this receipt admitting him to any lodge in the United States, providing, of course, he has obtained the annual pass word, which is furnished to all members holding one of the receipts. This is a great reformation' and meets with the hearty approval of all Odd Fellows.
