AN EXCITING EPISODE.

(icon Ahrnlmui's Ilnrsn l»ccon!K Fractious :IIH1 Kmleavors to Annihilate Kvorylliiug in Si^ht,

Shortly after 6 o'clock last Thursday there were stirring times in front of the residonceof Dr. Talbot on east Main strset. George Abraham, accompanied by Mrs. Noble, who rooms at his home, was driving in a buggy going east when the horse, a spirited animal, suddenly became fractious from some cause and stopping began to kick and then to kick and plunge. Mr. Abraham was cool and managed to hold the reins while the horse cavorted about all over the street. The dashboard was kicked off in short order and the whole front of the bugcy reduced to splinters. Finally the horse gave an ugly lungo and foil, thus overturning the buggy and throwing both occupants out. Mrs, Noble alighted on-the back of her head and was saved from severe in jury by a very heavy head of hair. Her skull was badly bruised in spito of its protection but otherwise she suffered no material injury. Mr. Abraham described a beautiful parabola as he shot through the air but he still held the lines. Both shafts were broken short oil by the fall of the borse and this freed him from the buggy. Mr. Abraham still held on in spite of the rearing of the beast, but his good work was finally in vain, for the horse soon h&d himself extricated from the harness and went rushing back to his stable, causing no little consternation as he plunged through the crowded streets.

No one was run over, however, and the horse stopped of his own accord on reaching his stable. Mr. Abraham was not severely hurt and both he and Mrs. Noble came out of an ugly accident in an exceedingly fortunate man ner.

Co. lteuniou.

Frankfort Times: Company £1 of the 135th Indiana volunteers held a reunion at the fair grounds at Crawfordsville yesterday. The bulk of the membership of the company reside at Crawfordsville, although there are several members living here, seven of them attending the reunion. This is the first reunion the company has ever held. The "old boys" who went frcm here were met at the train and escorted into the fair grounds. Capt. A. J. McClelland, the captain of the cotrpany, had charge of the affair, and to him is largely due the success of the day. The resident members of the company had their families present and also numerous big baskets from which they filled a sixty foot table with about the best "rations" that it has ever been the privilege of the veterans to attack. There were twenty-seven members of the company present. It was ordered that hereafter the re unions will be an annual event and that next year it will be held here.

Slioulil Be Informed.

Fifteen thousand voters lost their votes at the last election in Indiana because they did not mark their bal lots correctly. The law has been sim plified this year and a pencil will be used instead of a stamp. It will be easy for everybody to vote if they will inform themselves, but if they attempt to vote by jibbing their pencil down like a stamp, or by making a circle or some mark other than an X, they will lose their votes.

A Wn«»mlle Hum SUCCUIM'JB to Mora ot mini nj Sores mu I si \l ii^ni I KM* nt Colony of Boly Lice,

An aged tramp who was slated by the name of Henry WiHiarus, died last Friday night in the jail. Ho had not. spoken an intelligent, word since his incarceration ThutsJay afternoon and he died of some terrible disease, his body beiv covered with ruoniup sores and with iice. Ho would give no answer when interrogated but lay in hia coll in a stupor. On Saturday an undertaker was called and lis*, tifter donning glows, stripped the body of the old fellow and carrying the vermin covered clothes to the street poured coal oil over them and applied a match. The body was covered with disinfectant aud hauled to the undertaking shop where it W&B placed in the cheapest grado of a coLlin and then hustled out to a back number grave yard for interment. The victim was seventy years of age perhaps and a thoroughly repulsive customer, Ho was first arrested on Wednesday night by officer Waldrip but after Sheriff Caniue found that he was lousy the old fellow was turned out of jail. On Thursday he was found on the grass near the electric light plant aud taken to jail sick. He remained there until relieved by death.

DIED IN JAIL- HOME AGAIN.

A report was current last Saturday that the dead man was Banvelt, of Hendricks county, who was clubbed by the police Wednesday night. This report was of course a fake. Banvelt paid his fine and went on his way in good form.

MISS KROUT'S BOOK.

The Indianapolis Journal Gives It Very Excellent Notice.

Indianapolis Journal: Any ono who would like to understand why the Hawaiians wished for annexation will be able to know all about it by reading ths bock. "Hawaii and a_ Revolution," by Miss Krout, of Crawfordsville, Ind. MisB Krout lived in Hawaii overt welvo months. Her book contains internal evidence of truth, is written in trim, indicmatic English, is enlivened with anecdotes, and has a touch of light humor hero and there. Her curt, sensible preface is one of the best things. in the book. The work is narrative, beginning with a series of winter adventures that bring up at a delightful landiDg on the islands. The author's sympathetic affection for birds and for

Americans may relish it, nothing but annexation seemed feasible to the islanders themselves. .Miss Krout takes sides with the isiaudei sin quite a bold stirring manner. The hesrt gladdens

at her account of the prosperous, ous life of Japs, Chinese, Portuguese and others in Hawaii. Without writing catalogue like lists of the tropic growths, she sketches the wide, clean streets of the island capital, tuo chimney less houses standing in gardens crowded with palms aud mangos, the ltathery hedges waving long, pendant garlands of rcsc-colored fl nvers, the marvelous luxuriance of groves without undergrowth or dry twigs, and the island nights steeped in fragrance of jismine and orange flowers, grounds anrt verandas crowded with people, shadowy gardens echoing with tho notf-s of guitars and mandolins and the soft, pensive music of Hawaiian voices. Island housekeeping has its charms, according to Mits Krout. When you go visiting in Hawaii you sometimes find that a servant is dispensed with, and you find a small handbell placed within convenient reach of the door, and this you gently tinkle and put back in its appointed place.

A Beaut to Kxpouml the Word. Waveland Independent: Charles Hickman and wife left for Brumley, Mo., on Tuesday, to visit Charley's father for a few days, after which they will go to Gainesville, Mo., where he will have charge of a Methodist church of

is?* Willi Friomls,

Charley Doyle, of tho Kith United •States infautry, arrived in the city last week and :h the guost of his relativrs here. Since leaving Crawfordsville a few months ago Charley has had some lively experiences and lins attained that mjed of crcdit which belongs to nil the American soldiers who participated in the battle of Santiago,

Clmriey was in tho salient of tho light and it was his regiment which lir.'3t planted tho stars aud stripes on San Juan hill. His description of the fitrliLisa graphic and exciting one, and yet ho is free to say that it would take six months steady talking for him to teU of all he saw in much less time. Charioy says that he cannot say that he certainly killed any of tho enemy, but he knows for a ccrtainty that a number of the Spaniards at whom ho shot. fell. He frcquonty shot into a retreating bunch of the rascals and always had the satisfaction of seeing one of them stop.

Ho was present when tho bravo Lieu tenant Ord WES killed by a wretched prisoner, whose life was immediately taken by an American soldier. Charley's partner was killed by his side just as a wire fence had been reached Charley left his canteen with tho dying boy but was forced to leave him for just as the poor fellow fell the charge war sounded.

IUB

stor'es are

interesting indeed but ho says that much of the time after the fight is lost to him as ho was sick and when ho reached this country he was in an un conscious state, lie is homo on thirty days' furlough and does not yot know when he will bo ablo to leave the army. With him came a young man named Reed, who bolongs to tho second cavalry, and who was also in tho battle. Reed was raised hero but has been in the army two years.

GOT THEIR COMMISSIONS.

Wilhite is Cnplalu, Ktston Kirgt. Lieutenant, itml Harney Second l.icutonant.

The commissions for the officers of Company have been duly received and the men receiving tlieiu are now in office. Charles 0. Wilhite is cap tain, I. Elston, jr., is first lieuten ant and George S. Harney is second lieutenant. Harney's promotion make:ser it is

auimals, cogs, *.nd all, the meek and geante, but who is to benefit by

shamefaced curs as well as the full-fed fighting dogp, enables her to depict the animal life as well as the human life of the islands. She delineates the native Hawaiians, without making any comments on them, BO that the reader soes exactly where they stand among the races of the globe likewise without comment she neatly portrays the Hawaiians of foreign descent, so that the reader sees them as they are —the mild, the unoffending children of missionaries, incapable of shooting, hanging, exiling, buying or imprisoning enemies or conspirators, or of doing anything whatever as a government but catching on to one of the strong powers. Miss Krout plainly shows that Hawaii is really an American colony, and that, little as thinking

vacancy in the ranks of the

not yot known. It will doubtless be one of tho corporals, however. 4 Capt. Alexander was asked Monday if he wished to make any statement as to his side of the fliculty with the company. He replied that in the ab sauce of the company from Crawfordr ville he had nothing to say. When the men return home he is willing to make a statement if it seems good at that time and says he is not afraid but that the best men in the company will back up all he has to say. Captain Alexander is confident that he would cumo out of an impartial investigation with flying colors.

BURNED OUT.

-on Maxwell mill Family lla\i to llustlo to Snvo l'hoiuselvo.H From the I'laiucs.

Lou Maxwell and family about four months ago moved out to the old Bcal farm, three miles northwest of town and took poEsescion of tho house, which waft one of tho oldest in tho county. The place is now owned by AmoeQuick and is woll known to nearly all tho residents of this city. Monday morning about 1 o'clock Maxwell arose at:d built a firo in tho kitchen stovo aud then wont back to bed, calling to his wife to get up and get breakfast. Mrs. Maxwell, like some other people, concluded to take jtiBt one more little snooze before arising, and turning over was fast asleep in less than no timo. It was perhaps half an hour ater that Maxwell was aroused by hearing something fall in the kitchen.

Ho called to his wife and asked what it was and she replied that it was that plaguey cat again. That satisfied Mr. Maxwell, but in a moment more there was a terrible crash. The kitchen roof had fallen in and the next room to tho bad room ^as a fiery furnace. The Maxwells turned out in short order then, but all they could save was tho children and a feather bod. Tho children's clothes wero burned and so wore the dud6 of their elders. Maxwell himself started back into the houBe to rescue his wife's worstod dresp, that her mother had given her before she died,but ju6t as he got to the hook the roof of tho dwelling proper began to fall and ho started back for tho open air. The neighbors gave all the assistance needful in caring for the naked children. The house was insured but Mr. Maxwell loses all his goods, they not having been protected.

Shu Passed react-fully Away Stiaday MorniiiK at an Hm-ly Hour-A L'SBTIII I.ill, Foiled.

Mrs. William W. Morgan died Sunday morning at 2:15 o'clock at tho family homo on east Market 6treet. She had beou in failing health for some time, being alU cted with heart trouble, but as lato as Saturday afternoon tho attondant physicians wero inclined to bjlieve that she would survive tho attack.

Her nature was kindly and her life was lovely, replete with good works and a very precious memory to those who knew her.

Muy He in Klondike.

The whereabouts of Joe Coyner, late of Sugar Creek township are unknown, although diligent search by mail has been made for him. Some are inclined to believe that he went to Klondike and that ho has probably perished there. If Joe is alive he will iirld his Klondike by returning home. Clerk Sparks has for' several months been holding about §700 to which Jce is entitled, it being his share from the sale of land in the Coyner estate. If Joe never returns the money will eventually be turned over to the other heirs.
