Special to the Join mil. NEW ROSS, July 27.—Yesterday morning- the Big Four took up and hauled away the frog at the junction of the & S. E R'y and Big Pour at this place. The crossing had become dangerous to the passage of trains and the Big Four people claim that they notified the other company of this condition, but the Midland ignored the notification and this led to the act of yesterday. The «fc S. E. came bumping along at 5:15 yesterday evening, but came to a halt. Transfers from one Midland train to another on the opposite side of the blockade go merrily on, ju6t as though a big washout had occurred. The Big Four spiked down their track through the gap and placed a' watchman their. Much trouble is looked for in a short time as the C. «& S. E. officials are debating the question. It is given out that the Monon has leased theC. it S. E. E. and will assume control over it August 1.

WOULD NOT ACCEPT PARDON.

William K. Ilinshaw, the Wife Murderer, Solemnly Kealllrms ilis Innocence.

"May God strike me dead, my kin and my friends, if I ever leave this prison Without the stain of crime wiped from my brow, As God is my judge, I will never attempt to escape until the world says, 'William Hinshaw, you are not guilty of the murder of your wife. A great wrong haB been done you.'

These words were uttered to a visitor Monday by the Rev. William E Hinshaw, in the Michigan City prison. They were elicited as the result of the attempt of three prisoners to escape. "To day I wrote a letter to my dear old parents. They are overjoyed at the prospects of my gaining liberty, but I told mother in the letter that she should never look upon her youngest child as a free man until the great wrong done him had been righted. I will never leave prison until the world declares me innocent, even though the Board of Pardons should commute my sentence. "I want the same men who said I was guilty to acknowledge their mistake and then have them say. 'You are not guilty.' I never could face the world with the slightest stain against my name, which was respected once, but now is spurned. "What would a man do if he did not have a clear conscience? Could I write to my mother and tell her as I hoped for salvation so I declared my innocence':' No, it is beyond the power of man, though he may be low and debased, to make an oath to his mother and know it is a lie. "From the moment I was first accused of this terrible crime until this present moment 1 have been held up by the knowledge that I was not guilty. Since I came to this prison I have been anew man to myself. A feeling that I cannot dcrcribe is with me all the time I am not dispirited nor do I doubt that some day, even after I am dead, the truth about this crime will be known. If it was not for my mother, who is seventy-two years old, and my father, who is seven-ty-three, and both dying from sorrow over my fate, I could live among these poor convicts always, assisting the sick and cheering the disheartened. No one knows now much I suffer over mother. "Here I am, the youngest of nine children, all reared on a farm, not one of us who ever drank, 6moked or chewed. I, the youngest, in prison for life, a victim to blind justice. But I must not condemn, I must not find fault. I am at peace with my God, and I pray to him with my soul clear from all guilt of murdering wife."

Looted the House.

Several nights ago burglars broke into the residence of John Nicholson and wife on the corner of Wabash avenue and Water Btreet aud in the absence of the family proceeded to turn thingB topsy turvy in their quest for plunder. Every drawer in the house was ransacked and the contents dumped out on the floor. The only thing missed so far W&B a handsome corduroy suit belonging to Mr. Nicholson.

DEATH OF DAN ROPER.

A Popular Colored Man Who Lived Here I ntil Lately Meets a Tragic Knd at Terre llaute,

Mrs. John Hale was called to Terre Haute Tuesday morning by the death of her brother-in-law, Dan Roper. Roper lived here until lately and was in the city on July 5, visiting his many friends. The Terre Haute Express of Tuesday gives the following account of his tragic death: "A sad accident happened a short time before 10 last night in front of hose house No. 1 of the city fire department, and as a result one of Terre Terre Haute's bravest and most stalwart fire laddies lies stiff and cold in the morgue. "It was 9:45 and a group of the blue uniformed colored men sat before the entrance to the building chatting and enjoying the cool night breeze. Among this group was Daniel Roper, or as he was so well known, "Dan." lie was one of the largest men on the force and as good natured as he was bigboned. He was a handsome fellow, with an open countenauce and eyeB of kindly light. All the little boyB in town knew him and waved their hands at him as he passed swiftly on the bouncing, clanging fire wagon in response to the brazen notes of alarm

And when the fire was reached and the dangerous posts assigned Dan W&B never one who faltered. He was al ways where he was wanted and ready for the most desperate action. "While the men were thus seate 1 in front of the entrance the electric light above the middle of the street sudden ly went out. After a little Roper got up and walked over to the pole which supports the metal reel by which the arc is raised and lowered. "it will be remembered by citizens of Terre llaute that last winter line •uan Schafer was killed by a current of electricity which ran down the wire supporting the globe. That light had also gone out, and Schafer has been sent to fix it. He had no soone touched the crank to the end of the reel than he was a corpse. "Since tbat time the company has provided ail of these wires which the light is lowered with a glass neck, breaking the connection in case through whatever cause the current which runs over the wires becomes grounded on the pole. Had Roper caught the wire below this glass insulator the lamentable accident would never have happened. But it is very near the reel on that pole and the poor fellow reached up a foot or so above it and grabbed the wire with his left hand. His idea was to shake the globe so that the upper carbon would jar down on the lower and the light ilash forth once more. This has often been done before. •"The companions of Roper watched him passively, never thinking there was danger. They saw him reach up and clasp the wire. The next instant a terrible scream brought them to their feet and the blood to their faces, as they saw their comtade writhing on the ground. "They caught Dan up and carried him into the house, while one of their number ran for a doctor and another gave the alarm for the patrol. Drs. Crane and Combs were on the scene in a short time, but before they reached the spot the man had breathed his last. He lived no longer than three or four minutes after he was carried into the room, "When the patrol wagon came the body was placed on a stretcher and carried to the morgue. In the excitement after the accident the shoes of the unfortunate firemanhad been taken off aud the feet were exposed. On the sole of the right foot were six black spots, three on the ball and three on the toes. There were three similar spots on the bottom of the left foot. Such they seemed at a cursory glance. But a closer inspection revealed the fact that they were holes—holes literally bored by the electricity on leaving the body. A little ridge of cooked and blackened Uesh stood around the circle. The current had passed down the bone of the legs and had burned the holeB out between the bone and the ground into which it passed.

Hying Oil".

A report for the Bix months ending June 30, prepared by the department of the G. A. R. of thiB State, which is just completed, shows that the old soldiers are rapidly dying oil in Indiana. Seven j'ears ago there were about 25,000 veterans in Indiana. The present report shows that on July 1 there were 19,184 veierans. This is a falling off in memberoljip during the six months alone of 355, of which 186 were from deaths. It will be seen that there was an average of more than one death in the ranks daily.

HIS WEEKLY BUDGET.

Our Sunday School Kditor Comes 'Forth With oine Interesting Sunday Sehool New*.

Madison township will hold a con* vention at Oakland school house on Thursday, July 29th. Oakland Sunday school is one of the most enthusiastic in our county. At the State convention held in Crawfordsville last summer it had its entire enrollment in lino in the grand parade and proudly exhibits a banner as iihe result of it. The convention promises to be a very excellent one in every respect. The programme is a strong one. Vice President W. B. Banks, of the county association, expects to be in attendance. Dinner will bo served in the grove near by.

Fairview Sunday school at Kirkpatrick will have a picnic on Friday, Aug. 0. An excellent programme has boon arranged for the occasion and a good time promised for everyone.

An excellent programme liaB been arranged for the occasion. It is expected Gov, Mount will brs in attend ance and deliver an addresfl. Everybody welcome, \Vheti the Slihda^ 6chools pf the State were giving their annual home department reports at the State con* vention at Winona last month, Fair- I view M. E. school, of Kirkpatrick, occupied third place. The First Methodist Sunday school of Elkhart held first place Roberts Park, Indianapolis, second Fairview, Kirkpatrick, third. Fairview made, perhaps, the best showing, all things considered. It is located in a small country village while the other two are in large cities. The average attendance of the Sunday school proper is 08, while the homo department numbers 108. We very much doubt if there is a Sunday school in this State, or any other state, that will make a better showing.

Sand Bank Sunday school in Wayne township has reorganized with Brother David Phillips as Superintendent. This means that Sand Bank must sueceed.

A new Sunday school has been started in North Crawfordsville with Wm. Jackson as Superintendent. It will not be denominational, but will be run as a Union school.
