DEATH OF MRS. H. S- BRADEN-
She Passes Away Last Friday at Her Homo A Iter an ICxteiuled Illness.
Mrs. Mary E. Braden, wife of Hector S. Braden, died last Friday at midnight at her home on east Main street. Mrs. Braden had been in poor health for some months but had rallied and was improving until a few days ago. Friday she began failing rapidly and her relatives were summoned, being present when the end came.
Mrs. Braden was a daughter of Major and Mrs. Isaac Elston, pioneer residents of Crawfordsville. She was born here sixty-five years ago and was married in September, 1802 to Mr. 11. S. Braden, who survives her. Three sisters, Mrs. Lewis Wallace, Mrs. A. H. Blair, of Indianapolis, and Mrs. H. S. Lane, and a brother, Col, I. C. Elston, are living. Two brothers, James and Frank Elston, and two sisters, Sylvia Elston and Mrs. Eva Smith, are dead.
At an early age Mrs. Braden united with the Methodist Episcopal church and continued through life as a devoted communicant of that denomination. Not only was she consistent in her duties to the church but she carried her religion into her everydaylife where her many acts of charity and kindness betokened that she highest esteemed the creed of good deeds and works. Possessed of a brilliant mind and a kindly heart she attracted to herself a circle of warm and enduring friends with whom her memory will ever live as a most pleasant one

The door bell rings in a] sort of an apologetic way and when it is opened by the lady of the house a humble and bewhiskered individual isijseen standing on the porch holding out a plain pamphlet. "Please ma'am may I leave »one of these here little books with «you. It won't cost you anything and may do you a heap of good." With a fawning cringe he hands over the pamphlet and Bidles off toward the next house, drawing a similar pamphlet from his pocket as he goes to repeat the strange request aud make "similar deposit there. When folks are not at home the books are gently shoved under the door.
A large portion of the town has Deen thus visited and as the work is still going on it is likely that within a few days every house in town will be sup plied with the pamphlet in question, which purports to be an exposition of "the doctrines of the church of Latter Day Saints It is a book of some twenty-five pages containing among other delectable articles the prophecy of that blasphemous old blatherskite and frowsy fake, Joseph Smith, who claimed along in 1832 to receive a new revelation from the Lord and who soon afterwards received "a hot foot' from a community whose hen roosts were suffering.
The book concludes with a written postscript to the effect that'further in formation can be obtained from Elder F. W. Passey at 206 east Market street Elder Passey is the Mormon elder who has been laboring in this benighted community for some weeks and «it is stated that he has taken several uxoriously inclined gents into the fold. The gentle elder isn't scared of any resolutions the Crawfordsville literati pass against him and says he will go right on holding Mormon meetings at the old stand.

Last Friday thieves broke into Sam Gili's beer depot and stole several kegs of the foaming stuff. Gill started to get the blood hounds next morning but Marshal Ciriines took the case in hand and in the afternoon landed the thieves, they being "Tub" Chadwick, Mike Orme and "Peanut" McDonald. The boys at first denied the affair but when severely cross-questioned by the Marshal confessed and McDonald signed a paper. Marshal Grimes got his clue by the tracks left in the mud at the depot by Chadwick, who has the biggest feet in town.

JV1 iMiuoted liy An Alleged Friend.
Last week a friend of John MeCardie visited the JOURNAL ollice and the other newspaper oflices of Crawfordsville and announced that the genial John had withdrawn from the Congressional race. The Democratic organ of the city known to be favorable to fusion announced the withdrawal under a very foxy headline proclaiming McCardle a fusionist. The article in this paper read as follows:
A friend of Jno. McCardle is in receipt of a letter from him in which he says that after further consideration he has decided to withdraw from the race for the Democratic Congressional nomination. He says the fusion sentiment is daily growing stronger and that it will prevail. We believe that Mr. McCardle has acted with wisdom in this matter and that a combination of the silver forces this fall will result in a big victory for free coinage.
This report of McCardle's position went out over the State and on Satur day Frankfort Times states McCardle was interviewed and declared that his withdrawal had nothing whatever to do with fusion. The Times further quotes McCardle as follows:
That portion of the special which speaks of him declaring in favor of the fusion of all silver forces with Mr. Cheadle as nominee, Mr. McCardle says is untrue, as he has never expressed himself publicly on the question of fusion, neither for or against. "How ever," he said, "you may quote me now as saying that I am a straight out Democrat and believe that a straight out Democrat should be nominated. I am emphatically against fusion, un less they want to fuse with us. If they want to come over to us and be Democrats, all well and good, but I don't think we should go over to their."
Wallace Indorsed.
The Republican county central committee met last Saturday and fixed March 12 as the day for selecting delegates to the Congressional convention and also to the joint Senatorial convention. The following resolution was also unanimously passed:
To the Citizens of Indiana:—The Re publican county central committee of Montgomery county, Ind., do hereby most earnestly recommend our illus trious soldier and citizen, General Lew Wallace, as the ideal candidate to sue ceed Hon. D. Turpie in the Senate of the United States. Born in Indiana and continuously a resident of this great commonwealth, always inter ested in its development and endeav oring at all times to lift up to a high er plane the citizenship and the good name of our 'fair State. We unquali fiedly give to him our unanimous in dorsement and confidently present his natne for favorable consideration.
A Jingo Kcctor.
Rev. A. K. Glover, formerly recor of St. Johns Episcopal church in Crawfordsville, has written the following interesting letter to C. M. Travis:
WELLS, MINN Feb. 19, lS'.KS —Dear Capt. Travis, our hearts are mutually burning I suppose over the treachery of the coming enemy. I have not yet offered myself formally for my country's service to any governor, but I thought of writing you as an old friend, living among those patriots of Indiana so dear to me—the boys of the P. 0. S. of A., and S. of V., to say that my services in leading a regiment of Indiana boys will be always at their command, and that I would do all in my power, along with them, to make Spanish the prevailing language of hell. Truly yours,
A. K. GLOVKK.
Col. Dellart Injured.
A special from Lafayette says: "A buggy in which Col. Richard P. De Hart, the well known lawyer, and Thomas Lonergan were riding was run into at 4 o'clock this afternoon at Main and Third street, badly injuring the occupants. Colonel DeHart was badly bruised on the hip, head and hands, and Lonergan's leg was broken. The buggy was a complete wreck. The accident will greatly interfere with Colonel DeHart's canvass for State Senator, for which he is a candidate on the Republican ticket."

North Green street, where trouble occurs, will be made to blossom as the rose this Spring, as about $12,000 worth of substantial improvement will be placed there, giving the thoroughfare a good high tone.
A. F. Ramsey will tear ou1 completely the building now occupied by the 11. C. Smith & Co. drug store and will at an expense of $8,000 erect a new and modern building, handsomely equipped and appointed.
The row of one-story buildings belonging to Ram6ev tfc Somerville, just in the rear of their Main street block, will also be improved by the addition a second story, at a ccst of from S3,00 to $'1,000.
These improvements will revolutionize the appearance of the street aud will greatly enhance the desirability of location in that quarter. The work will be begun as soon as practicable aud the building permits have already been issued.
These improvements will give work to quite a large number of men and the rospect is pleasing to those desiring employment.
Mr. Sweeney Again Honored.
The Rev. Z. T. Sweeney, State fiah commissioner, has again been honored, this time by being asked to accept the position of chaplain at the reformatory at Jeffersonville and its State agent, to provide suitable positions for paroled convicts. Elder Sweeney has considerable fame on account of his great influence for good over convicts, and it is for this reason particularly, in addition to his executive ahility, that makes the reformatory management very desirous of securing his acceptance to the offer. There seemB to be a hitch in the matter, du? to the existence of a provision in the laws of Indiana to the effect that no man shall be eligible to hold more than one lucrative office in the service of the State. At least it is said that prominent attorneys have so advised Mr. Sweeney.
linund To Go.
On the first day of March Alf Lookabill and J. J. Darter, the old reliable real estate firm, will move their office from north Green street to south George Washington street. They have rented two large front rooms in the Braden block over D. J. Woodward's carriage establishment, and just south of Myers & Charni's dry goods store. They are going to take a little hatchet with them and the story of Washington and his hatchet shall never be forgotten. No. Ye land buyers they will not tell a lie. No. They cannot tell a lie they cannot tell a lie. They say that they will bid farewell to old Green street aud will no doubt think of't times of the old stand where hundreds of farms have been sold and thousands of truths have been told.

A young man, though with degrees from Wabash and from Princeton and now taking advanced study along theological Jines, Mr. Thompson impressed his hearers as a man of ability and power, one who will, without doubt, be among the great ministers of the future.

Saturday evening Sam Randolph and Will Muhleisen attended asocial function with Cora Mounts and Cora Burton, dining-room girls at the Ramsey Hotel. It was midnight when the party broke up and while strolling homeward the subject of matrimony came up. Sam and Miss Mounts were together and in the some way it was suggested that it would bo a jolly sort of a joke for them to unite their fortunes. Mr. Muhleisen, who believes sincerely in the happiness of worthy young people, stopped short and remarked that if they would get married at once he would pay for the license and tho ceremony. The bantered couple took Mr. Muhleisen's breath by t&e promptness with which they accepted his offer. The procession about faced and marched merrily to the house of county clerk Wallace Sparks. He was rousted from his nine warm bed and was finally induced to go down town and issue the license. Squire Stillwell's home was next invaded and at two o'clock in the morning the marriage ceremony occurred there.
Mr. Muhleisen and Miss Burton stood up with the high contracting parties and made the scene as light as midday by the radiance of their sweet and sunny smiles. m:'.v
The happy couple repaired to the Sherman House after the ceremony and there spent the night, the blooming bride being up, however, in time to assume her place in tho diningroom of the Ramsey at breakfast. So endeth the first chapter.
