Mount-.

Last Monday under a suspension of the rules in the House of Representatives the bill providing for a change of tci :.'is in the Montgomery circuit court .vas passed without a disseuting voice. As the bill had already passed the. Senate it was taken to Governor Mount for his signature. Mr. Mount stated that he would sign it. The bill, as been stated previously in these columns, provides for three terras of circuit court here each year instead of live as at present The change will greatly facilitate business, especially in the Clerk's otllce, and is hailed as a jolly good thing all around.

lt«'\. S. A. Mowers mid the (.'linrcli. Lafayette Courier: For some time there have been rumors on the streets and among the church people that Rev. S. A. Mowers, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, hail been reel uested to resign, and a Sunday paper on yesterdoy made reference to the rumor. As „the Conrlcr does not publish rumors, an interview with Dr. Mowers was sought this morning. In response to inquiries, he stated that the congregation of his church had not asked him to resign. At the congregational meeting, held last December. there was no reference made to a resignation, and as the congregation alone bus the right in the Presbyterian churdh, according te Dr. Mowers, lo ask a pastor lo resign, there has been no such request, contrary to the reports concerning the action of the deacons last November. Mr. Mowers is conscious of an antagonistic element in his congregation, but says that he has no intention of resigning. On the other hand, it is true that the board of deacons did hold a meeting in November, when it was thought by a number of them that a change wonld be advisable. Mr. Mowers was acquainted of this fact, but the congregation has never taken action in the matter, and there is an apparent satisfaction with his ministry among the majority, so the pastor is led to believe. At all events, there is not the very smoothest kind of sailing in the church since the rumor first gained circulation.

Lafayette Courier: Dr. Samuel Godfry delivered one of his characteristic sermons in Trinity church yesterday morning. The church was quite cold, and he opened his discourse with the rather unusual observation: "It may be very cold in here, but it is not as cold as you may be some time, although you may not know it".

W. A. Van Huron, appointed is a special master to sell the New Monon. has fixed the date for March lo. The sale will take place at the north door of the Federal building at Indianapolis. So far as can be ascertained the only bidder will be the representative of the present holders of the bonds and stock, and he will have little more cash to pay than the amount required to be deposited^ which is about $30,000. It is said that if the company is able to get out of paying the Beattyville bonds and win the Pope receivershin cases the road will be in a good financial condition.

Receiver McDoel will expend considerable money the coming season in making improvements.

Waul I nun I In- Minnm. Two outnage suits aggregating $22,000 were tiled against the Monon at Bloomington, Ind., yesterday. They grew out of a crossing accident at Bloomington September 12. Ifiilii, when Abolphus Kay was instantly killed and Vinson Kay was made a cripple, forlife. The suit is for 820,000 by Ii-aac Kav, the father of Vinson, because he is under age, and claims such damages because of a fractured skull and the loss of his right, leg. The second is for 82,000, brought by Isaac Kay because of the death of his boy Adolphus, seventeen years old. The accident out of which these suits grow was as follows: The two Kay brothers, living in Owen county, had sold a load of melons and were returning home in a two-horre wagon when they were run down by the south-bound passenger train. Adolphus Kay was instantly killed, Vinson had his right led crushed off and his skull crushed, and both the horses were killed. After lingering for several weeks, Vinson finally re covered.

The Supreme Court ^Tuesday reversed a case in which Frank O'Donnell was granted a license by the circuit court of Washington county to sell liquor in Salem. The license was granted after a majority of the voters in the township had remonstrated against it. The circuit court permitted fifty-two of those who remonstrated to withdraw their names from the remonstrance. An attempt was made to distinguish this case from others by the appellee, on the ground that the motion to withdraw the names stated that the remonstrance had been signed under a misapprehension of the facts. The Supreme Court held that when a remonstrance had been signed by a majority of the voters in the township is filed within the time limited by law the circuit court has no jurisdiction or power to grant a license to the person against whom it is directed.

Wlu that gallant beau of the brunette style of beauty, Henry Warren, allowed the creditors of Lemuel J. McMullen to enter the Lotus Club hall way and open a way into the Music Hall restaurant ty a disused door, he opened tho way for some lively litigation. The creditors cleared tho place out in approved style, even carrying ofV the things which were nailed down.

Now Mrs.Margaret McMullen,mother of the departed Lem, comcs into the circuit court as plaintiff in two suits, she alleging that she owned the property carried oil" and demanding damages.

The first of these suits is against Thomas 1$. Sering and John A. Clark. It alleges that they carried from tho restaurant a lunch counter, some large mirrors and an ico chest, all of which belonged to her and were worth SIG'.i.OO. As Sering & Clark furnished most of these chattels to the place and had received no pay for them, they will likely enter a defense.

The same may be said of the Ross brothers, of tho DDc store, who are sued for S28!i..ri0 and all proper relief. Tho Ross brothers are charged with having carried oil' the side boards, chairs and carpets, the tables, the tin ware and a barrel of dishes.

The case will likely be a lively one and considerable interest will attach to the outcome as a precedent for future cases of this character.

PICNICKERS TAKE NOTICE.

Prosecutor Kennedy having had the matter presented to him by many complainnnts, is now taking the necessary steps for the complete annihilation of the saloons which have been maintained at the Pine Hills for two seasons by Torn Ham and Pheeley Ilallett, otherwise known as "Pheeioy. tho Fat.'' These two resorts have become somewhat odious it appears from the complaints made, and the stories brought forward as to the unseemly orgies enacted under the gilded roofs of the saloons are not only interesting but are positively thrilling.

Pheeley Hallett is a fat and eosy going gent whose chief faults are his gool humor, his bad beer and his proneness'to tell his family troubles to the weary passerby. As there are no police in that vicinity this latter failing of the foxy Pheeley can, perhaps, be overlooked. Pheeley has many virtues, among which may be included his hospitality, his urbanity and his old mare. InlJspite of these virtues, however, Pheeley's saloon has proved the curse of the community. More drunken roustabouts are inspired to cussedness there than almost anywhere else in WeBtern Indiana except Tom Ham's place about 300 yards further up the road.

Prosecutor Kennedy has began a court of inquiry before 'Squire Stilwell and during the next three (lays every young buck in the Bluff Mills neighborhood will appear and be subjected to a rigid examination. Already the prosecutor has enough caseB against both saloons to close them up and bankrupt their owners. It is likely, however, that the places will be closed merely, and Messrs. Ham and Hullctt be given a chance to enter better business.

Mr. Wainpl»r Has Sold.

John C. Wampler has sold the Kulton Market to hischief clerk and right hand bower, Jim McGilliard, who will conduct the business from this time on. His experience extending over years of service with Mr. Wampler fits him to look after the trade in good style. Mr. Wampler will engage in other business after a short rest. He has always oeen one of the hustlers among Crawfordsville merchants, always ready to help any enterprise that would benefit the town and has gained a most honorable reputation as far as his dealings extended.

a. Saloon and tho Itcsntt i» ItatlnT IVrnliar*.

Tuesday night burglars effected au entrance to S.S. Burrow's Market street saloon and carried otT about $" in money and quite a little of the liquid stock. Considerable judgment was displayed by tho burglars in their selection of material from the saloon. Soveral quart bottles of Burrow's best fifteen cent whiskey were carried olf along with some of his best tobacco.

The burglary occurred between one and two o'clock in the morning. George Sperry, the bar keeper, was in the room at one and then went upstairs to bed. Shortly after two Officer Jack Bannister awoke him and stated to him that the place had been burglarized. Mr. Sperry arose, dressed and investigated. He finally concluded to experiment a little with W. W. Seawright's blood hound pups and going to the home of their keeper, Mr. Weaver, he rousted that gentleman out pf his bed. Weaver got his pups and proceeded with Sperry to tho saloon. The eager pups took the trail at once and Weaver was obliged to hustle to keep up with them. The pups went first to a stairway on east Main street which leads to a well known hall but did not climb the steps. The burglars had evidently gone there and had then changed their minds. The pups followed the trail to a south Green street residence, entered the gate and went to the steps then they whirled and went to Jell'erson street on the jump. The finally came to a standstill at the door of a well known residence in tho west end where they arc a number of young men room.

No attempt was made on the purt of Weaver and Sperry to enter the place but they felt satisfied. The police are now investigating the case.

LATKK:—The bloodhounds must have tracked a customer Tuesday and not a burglar. About noon Wednesday five tramps were jailed for the crime and have a clear case against them. They had part of the stolen money on them and two bottles of the whisky. In O'Neal's quart shop one of them Wednesday passed a marked nickle which was stolen from Burrow's saloon. These fellows were allowed by O'Neal to sleep in a room under his place at night, but it seeins that they engaged in a little foraging expedition. They gave their names as James Carsey, Pat Ryan, Jim Kelloy, Richard Brincon and James Dean.
