IN LAFAYETTE.

Hurry Itundolph and Rliss Iliiidu Murie Deicliwiller ure United in Olairinge.

Lafayette Journal: In the presenee of about one hundred and fifty friends and relatives, the marriage of Miss Hulda Marie Deichmiller to William Harrison Randolph, of Crawfordsville, took place last evening at the home of the bride's mother on east Main street. The rooms were decorated with pink and white chrysanthemums and foliage plants, while ropes of smilax looped with white satin ribbon extended from the chandelier to the corners of the room in the front parlor. At 8 o'clock to the sound of the wedding march, played by Miss Stella Blacker, the bride and groom entered the parlor and took their position in the archway under a white canopy. They were preceded by the bride's two little nieces, the Misses Minnie and Olga Godfrey, daintily gowned in white. Miss Olga bore the wedding riDg on a silver tray, while Miss Minnie carried a basket of exquisite pink carnations and maiden hair ferns. Rev. George Schumm, of the Lutheran church, performed the ceremony, the Lutheran service being used. A novel feature, which added to the impressiveness of the occasion, was the presence of the Patriotic Order Sons of America Commandery, about fifteen in number, each in handsome full dress uniform. Preceding the bridal party, they marched two abreast and took their place in the parlor before the ceremony. This order, Lodge No. 19. of which Mr. Randolph is a member, won the national prize labt year at

Reading, Pa., for being the most perfectly drilled commandery. At the close of the ceremony the company immediately repaired to the hall below where was served an elaborate wedding sapper. Looped from the ceiling above the table were festoons of green, while the table itself was decorated with pink chrysanthemums and candelabra bearing green candles. The bride, always a beautiful young woman, was especially fair to look upon last evening in a rich gown of while brocaded silk made with high neck and long sleeves. A white ostrich aigrette ornamented her hair and she carried a white 6atin fan. The groom is a prosperous youug business man, being in the employ of Tannenbaurn Bros.' clothing house in Crawfordsville. The presents, displayed in a room upstairs, were numerous and very handsome. Among the guest6 from out of town were: Mrs. Sarah Randolph, mother Miss Carrie Randolph, sister, and Samuel Randolph, brother of the groom Mes6is. Walter Coolman, Ed Holloway, Parker Willis, Ed Mahorney, R. P. Youngman, M. A. Kelley, Wayne Ash, Howard Griffith, W. K. Somerville, Ed Dennis. S. D. Symrnes, S. J. Billman, O. V. Williams, Walter Hearn, and W. W. Goltra, of the P. O. S.'Of A. Commandery of Crawfordsville Miss Jennie Eagan, of Muncie Misses Nona and Anna Casey, Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Davis, Charles Kramer, Max Tannenbaum and Walter Huff, of Crawfordsville.

Mr. and Mrs. Randolph will remain in the city to day to spend Thanksgiving with the bride's mother and sisters, leaving at noon to-morrow for Crawfordsville, where they will go at once to housekeeping on east Main rtreet, where their home is alreadv prepared for them.

Another Ticrney Fizzle.

Frankfort News: Jack T:erney and Kid Hennessy have just returned from Rensselaer where on Wednesday night they started in to give the citizens of the town Riley has made famous in his rhymes of childhood, a real, vivid and strictly accurate representation of the battle some time ago between Robert Fitzsimmons and James Corbett. The exhibition was billed to occur in a livery barn, but the mayor of the town didn't seem to be impressed with the idea of his Rensselaer putting on Carson City airs, and he informed "the champion middle weight of Chicago," and the "champion light weight of the Northwest" that their fourteen round exhibition would have to bo postponed indefinitely and now the citizens of Rensselaer will probably never know just how Corbett come to his inglorious defeat.

For the .Defendant.

The jury in the case of Mrs. Mary Pruitt and others against Eleazer F. Wilhite returned a verdict for the defendant after a short deliberation Saturday afternoon.

United,

Last Sunday at 8 o'clock at the home of the bride's father, John Elmore, Miss Eflie A. Elmore and James H. Bush, of Wingate, were happily married. Justice S. A. Stilwell officated in his incomparably felicitious manner.

MR. INGLIS'SUCCESS-

lie Is Culled to the I'aHtorate ol'the Lending l'reshyteriiui Church in Milllll-llpoliK.

The friends of Rev. It. S. Inglis, who resigned the pastorate of the First Presbyterian church here to accept the pastorate of a larger church in Jackson, Mich., will be pleased to learn that he has taken another upward step. He has been called to the pastorate of the leading Presbyterian church of Minneapolis, Minn., a church having a congregation of 600 members. Mr. Inglis' father-in-law, Senator Gilbert Peirce, is a member of this church.

Itcunioii at Company It.

On Thursday, Nov. 18, 1897, at the invitation of Mrs. E. H. Cox, the members of Go. B, 120th Ind. Vol .executed a very neat Hank movement upon her husband, Lieut. E. H. Cox, of said Company. Early in the morning he went away on business, and during his absence a goodly number of his old Company, most of whom were accompanied by their wives, assembled at hiB house, teams and buggies having been carefully concealed. At 11 a. m. comrade Cox came home and without a word of warning was ushered Into the presence of his guests. To say that he was surprised is putting it very mild. After the applause that followee he accepted the situation with a grace of which he alone is master. At 1 o'clock all repaired to the diniDg room, where dinner was served the grandeur of which bailies description. Suflitie it to say, however, all did it justice. After dinner those present were entertained with war reminiscences, recitations and songs until a late hour, when the guests presented to Lieut. Cox an elegant chair, to which responded in his usual happy manner. The Company then voted to hold their reunion next year at the home of comrade George Boyland, of Gartield. B.

To the Editor of Tlio Journal.'Comstouk, Douglas county, Ore., Nov. IS, '97.—Your issue of the Journal of Oct., 22, '97 in the publication of a brief note of mine renewing my subscription to the Jouhnal and adding a brief compliment on the same, also an allusion to a few of my old acquaintances I made in reference to my old time acquaintance with Wm. Durham to claim an acquaintance with said Wm. Durham as an Odd Fellow. I never was an Odd Fellow. I only alluded to him as a Freemason. His place of residence and membership as a Mason at that time was at Russellville and that he resided over the Masonic Lodge at that place and that I had met with him and worked with him at that place and also at Portland Mills in Portland Lodge, No. 90, (the Mills not attaching to said lodge This was in 1854. I was made a Mason in Waveland Lodge in I think 1847 under their first charter. We immediately there after organi/.ad at Portland Mills the whole number of our lodge under dispensation I believe were'drawu from Waveland. Dr. John Slavens was our first master under dispensation. I occupied the chair two terms in said lodge prior to my leaving that place in 1S54 and was known at Ladoga in 1855, having visited them several times in'55. With fraternal regard,

Tbe preliminary skirmish in the divorce suit of Catherine Cronin vs. Cornelius Croniti occnrrpd in the circuit court on Monday before .Judge West. Mrs. Cronin asked for temporary alimony in the sum of £75, but the defense showed that she was possessed of SG00 a few weeks ago, so the court refused to grant the demand. Mrs. Cronin furnished all kinds of hot fun for the spectators during her presence on the witness stand. She kept up a constant bombardment of words, some of which were sadly contradictory of their fellows. She made frequent uncomplimentary references to her husband and sou, twitting the latter on having spent a season in the insane asylum. As to the hutband, the virtuous Con, she caused him to snort with rage by calling out from the witness stand that he hud murdered a woman in England before emigrating to America, giving those present the irapressien that this little pieasantry on his part had had materially to do with his crossing the water.

THE TEACHERS.

Thirteenth Animal Meeting ol tlie Montgomery Comity AHhoeintion^f|£ S

In spite of the' bad weather a very large assembly of teachers was present in the college chapel laBt Friday morning.

Prof. Elwood Kemp, of the State Normal, gave an address on "The Relation of Great Men to History," and in the afternoon on "Comparison of the English Parliament and American Congress." Both addresses were good, full of suggestions and received with approval by all.

Rev. Fred Stouvenour, of Portland, gave an address on "Man a Creature of Impressibility."

The session openedSaturday morning with reading and remarks by L. J. Coppage and prayer by Rev. Schultz. Rev. A. W. Conner, of Danville, gave an address on "The Reign of the Pedagogue, or Uncrowned Kings and Queens." He discussed the important position the school holds to-day and the difficult and responsible work of the teacher. The school is breaking down bigotry, ignorance and wrong. The teacher restrains much evil. Less standing army and navy and more of school, which is forming the rising generation. Rev. Stouvenour again addressed the teachers on "The Garden of Eden at the North lole," quoting largely from the scientists to show that at one time in the long ago a tropical vegetation flourished in those at present ice bound regions.

Saturday afternoon Rev.Connor again spoke on "The Bad Boy," thai seems to be present in every community.

Officers were elected for the ensuing year as follows: Pres.—Prof. G. F. Kenaston.

Vice Pres.—E E. Vanscoyoc. Sec.—Wm. White. Treas.—Aubrev Bowers. Executive committee—Prof. G. F. Kenaston, S. S. Piiillips and S. H. Watson.

The resolutions were read and a good meeting adjourned.

A

Thorny AVay.

There is no rose without its thorn but there are plenty of thorns without roses and Addie Thorn found one of this rosele6s kind when she married Courthey Thorn. There wasn't any rose about him nor any other kind of llower either except the toddy blossom on his nose. Life with Courtney was not along the primrose path of dalliance by any manner of means but a break neck gallop over the rough and thorny way you read about iu story books. Courtney made it a sacred practice to get beastly drunk and then hunt Addie up and curse her till he was black in the face. At least that's what Addie recites in her complaint and, as Courtney didu't show up with a denial when the case came to trial on Mon day, it will have to be taken as the truth. No candidate for a country office ever had his character blasted any blacker than Addie blasted Courtney's Monday morning. Judge West was pro foundly sympathetic and granted the divorce with commendable alacrity. Addie is now at liberty to make a more suitable selection from the vegetable kingdom.

Mr. l^trnh's Suit.

Frankfort Crcuccut: In the circuit court John M. Larsh has filed a suit against the Clinton county contractors, Dunn, Goar & Dunn, oil a contract in which he asks a judgment forS2,000.

In the complaint he states that the commissioners of Clay county decided to build twenty miles of road in Hamilton township and the specifications called for Putnam county stone to be used, lie avers that the defendants contracted with him to use his influence to have Middleberry stone ueod instead and if possible aid them in getting the contract in which event they would pay him 82,000. This, ho avers, he did, getting Engineer VanCleave to specify Middleberry stone, and that he furnished them with such information as permitted them to bid successfully on the work and get the contract. Mr. Larsh now wants a settlement.

,, At Darlington,

The llathbone Sisters of Darlington gave a highly pleasing entertainment Saturday evening, entertaining about one hundred and tifty guests in a most enjoyable mannes. A bounteous supper was preceded by a literary programme of a high order of merit. Several splendid drills were given, and excellent music, vocal and instrumental, and recitations added materially to the evening's pleasure.

and 1!), 181)8.

Through general order No. 7, issued Saturday, James S. Dodge, department commander of the G. A. It., made the official announcement that the next annual encampment will bo held at Columbus May 18 and 19, 1898. The commander announces that during the summer and fall months he, with other department officers, has attended many reunions and camp fires, and he found, ho says, that the interest aroused by meetings gives hope that the feeling of comradeship is not dying out, but rather increasing. Many posts have added to their membership within the. last year. Post commanders are urged to make a personal effort to induce every comrade to become a member of the G. A. It.

It is with regret, the commander says, that he is compelled to announce'! that the call for contributions for the purpose of procuring Christmas presents for the children in the Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' Home has met with few responses. He suggests that if comrades desire to contribute they must do it at once. The commander announces in the order that the annual election of post officers will occur at the first regular meeting in December. Ho urges that the best material be selected to fill the offices.

At the 6&me meeting posts will elect representatives and alternates to the department encampment. Each post is entitled to one representative and one alternate for every fifty members in good standing, and one additional representative and one additional alternate for a final fraction or more than one half that number. Posts with a membership of less than fifty members are entitled to one representative and one alternate. It is announced that the new post officers will be instable .1 at the first meeting in January. The commander recommends that this service be made a pub-: lie one in conjunction with the Woman's Relief Corps and the Sons of Veterans.

Won't you save papa?" asked a little flaxen haired tot, 12 years ago, when she met Tom Bowles on the train as he returned from Indianapolis during the memorable incarceration of James Dennis as an accomplice in the McMullin murder. Mr. Bowles then took the little girl in his arms and promised that he would invoke the aid of Heaven and earth. A few days ago Mr. Bowles was accosted by a young iady who said: "Mr. Bowles, I'm Pearl Dennis," and in telling of the incident to a 'Yelper' pencil pusher he remarked that she was so pretty that he was again tempted to take her in his arms. The little flaxen haired girl has developed into a handsome and accomplished young lady who will soon graduate from the Crawfordsville high school. Her mother is in Att'.'ji, receiving 85 per week in a laundry. Her father, .lames Dennis, died two years ago in Ky. Mr Bowles 6tayed all night with r.
