THE MONON DEAL.

The Big Four Falls to Tnke Possession of the Road Per Prophesy.

Special to the Journal. INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 21.—The Vanderbilt paopie did not take possession of the Monoa at the annual meeting of the latter here to-day. Crawford Fairbanks, of Terre Haute, and John A. Hilton, of New York, were reelected directors. It had baen sup­

posed that the Big Pour men would take their places. Manager McDoel feaid the proposed consolidation is off at present, but that it would come up later. It is understood that a majority of the stock i6 owned by the Big Four interests, but the actual merging of the two properties is deferred. The

bonds of the Indiana stone road were endorsed.

TIRED OF STATE FAIR.

Legislature May Give No More Aicl on Account of Management.

The fact that the state fair is being continually operated at a loss, which only the state appropriation'makes it possible to meet, has set some of those who are interested in its continuance to thinking how the matter can be arranged so that the state shall take complete control of the fair and operate it as a state institution. Among the state officers, however, there is no sentiment whatever in favor of this move, and a tjanvass of the officials brought to light the fact that in the minds of most of them the 6tat« fair is considered an out-of date institution which should be relegated to the past. The progress of the times has made it. possible for almost every county to have its own fair, which in most cases answers all the purposes of the state fair.

From the governor down to the last of the state officers the sentiment is against the adoption of the fair by the state. Some of the officials are so much disgusted with the fair as it is conducted that they say there is a chance the legislature will refuse to make the regular annual appropriation by amending the law. At any rate it is about certain that the state will not father the fair to any greater degree than subscribing money for its support.

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

Light frosts in a few localities on the 12th, 13th and 14th did no damage. Cool weather prevailed, with frequent local showers. In some localities, especially in the southern portion, heavier rains delayed corn cutting and seeding. Corn cutting continued rapidly most of it is in shock and most of that which is still standing is safe from frost the corn harvest in some localities is nearly finished the croa is very large and the quality good the ears are large and well matured. Potatoes in some localities yield well, in others the crop is not so good. Tobacco cutting continues, with satisfactory results. Clover Beed bulling progresses the yield, in general, is poor. All vegetables and garden truck are abundant turnips grow well great quantities of tomatoes are being canned in the northern portion late beans are being gathered. Sorghum is nearly all cut, and molasses is being made.

Rye is growing nicely. Wheat seeding progressed a large acreage is being sown: in some localities seeding is nearly done early sown wheat is coming up well. All tree fruit, except apples, yield fairly well the. grape crop is very large. Pasturage is green and live stock is in very good conditi J.

Jim Stamp and Tadie King Indulge in a Fight Which Results Disastrously for Tadie.

Last Tuesday in the clothing store of Jacob Joel a fight occurred between Tadie Ring and Jim Stump, the latter being a clerk there. Ring came out second best and is now under a doctor's care with no immediate prospect of getting out. Stump gives the following version of the affair: "I was in the store piling up clothes when Ring came in ana after saying that he heard that I had bought a gun for him he struck me an awful jolt on the chin. Then we mixed and pretty soon some folks came in and picked Ring up, carried him out to a cab, and hauled him off I don't know jvhat they did with him or where they took him and what i6 more 1 don't caro.

He monkeyed with me and he got it the way I give it to them. He is a bad egg and has been laying for me for some time. I knew I could tend to him easily enough but I went out of my way to avoid trouble. When he came heie though I had to wind up his clock

Ring was carried to his room at the residence of Mrs. Lewis on west Market street. His left leg was found by Dr. Ensminger to be broken below the knee and his ankle to be sadly twisted. He will be in bed for some time. He lays the blame of the affair on Stump and promises to make it lively for him when ho gets up. The men have baen enemies for some time and trouble was exoected before this.

Bad State of Affairs,

Atchicon Globe: The congregation at the Church of the Holy Kiss yesterday morning was probably the largest in Atchison. There were as mauy men present as women, which is unusual, but only a small per cent, of the congregation were Methodists. Only five of the twenty-five members of the official board were present. Of this number, only two are supporters of Dr. Leech. C. W. Poslethwaite, a member of the official board, has asked for the letters of himself and family, and will leave the church. He is probably the only one of the official board to go, as the rest believe that developments will prove that they are right, and that Dr. Leech's successor will be named in a very short time. There was no choir at the services yesterday. The board had notified the organist that they would not pay for his services under Dr. Leech, and the rest of the choir went out with him. Dr. Leech took for his text a verse that said nothing about kisBing, and he did not allude to his recent experience either in his sermon or prayer. There were only half as many present at the evening service. The situation, so far as the board is concerned, is this: Dr. Leech can open the church every Sunday and hold services, but he cannot in any way avail himself of any of the church funds No one in the church can touch the church funds without the authority of the treasurer, and he belongs to the insurgents. The adherents of Dr. Leech represent, according to the insurgents, not one-twencieth of the church income. Dr Leech was paid in full up to the time he resigned, and the power of the board is such that hie future labors will be rewarded only by prayer and jewels for his crown in heaven. The members of the official board do jiot intend to resign they say they have a hen on, and that developments within a few days will result in every member taking his place in the church, though the same man may not give out the text. The insurgents now allege that Bishop Fowler was chiefly induced to reinstate Mr. Leech by a letter writ-ten by another pastor of tftchieon, who had not investigated the case, and whose means of knowing the real grievance were limited to the

Methodist parson's side of the story.

The Champion Setter.

A C. Jcnuisua lays claim to the ownership of the ciMinpiofi setting hun and tiis claim will probably pass unchallenged. Mr Jennison is chicken fancier in a small way although it can b«s truthfully said that his neighbor's flower beds will not bear witness to the fact. When he left for Europe he removed all his fowls except one to the o'd Jennison homo place. The exception was an ancient.hen which he left faithfully setting on a door knob. Mr. Jennison thought he would leave her and give her her fill of setting, never doubting,that she would become disgusted after a week or so. Upon his return after a two months stay abroad he was astonished to find the old biddy still clinging to the nest and underneath the door knob. The knob was c:,r.cca'od ths hen barred from lhe hen house but that afternoon she found a similar knob on the kitchen door and flying upon it squatted and began to set, hanging on to her combination perch and egg with a devotion which was admirable even if fanatic.

BROKE HiS LEG. THE GOVERNOR'S CONDITION.

He Will Be at a Sanitarium for a Couple of Weeks.

Indianapolis Journal: Gov. Mount was yesterday compelled to return to his bed by the orders of his physician, Dr. O. S. Runnels, who now has him in charge at a sanitarium in this city, suffering with nervous and local disorders of a peculiarly trying nature.

Yesterday it was found necessary to perform an operation of a local nature, ana last nignt the announcement was made that the governor must be keDt absolutely quiet for several weeks, and to insure this he will not be allowed to see anyone but the members of his family.

THE LYING PARSON.

lie is Blown lip By His Own Powder— Yellow Little l.iav Brought to Book.

Chaplain Carstensen of the 15Sth regiment, is a Democrat who does not acruple to lie in his attempt to push his party's interests. His recent terrible story of the hospital horrors at Chickamauga is fresh in mind as is also the prompt manner in which he was called down. Since the publication of hia yellow fake in the Indianapolis Sentinel some investigations havo been made. It sooms that this buinmy lit tie blackleg Carstensen was the war correspondent of the iSe?iii?ieiand wrote frequent letters to it. Some time ago, before he thought of manufacturing hospital horrors for campaign purposes he saw things differently. The following tidbits from his pen are interesting to say the least: "I went through the division hospi tal last night. It is about two hun dred jards in the rear of General Po land's headquarters, away from the dust and noise, and well fitted up with all necessities and many comforts for the patients. It will comfort the sol diers' friends at home to learn that every possible provision is now being made for the care of the sick men and they are nearly as well off here as they could be at home."—Chaplain Carstensen, in a letter to the Sentinel, pub lished June 20, 1898. "Do not let your readers believe any yellow journal fakeatorieB about hard conditions in camp now. There was a good deal of difficulty at first and food and water were both scant and poor, but I have heard no word of complaint from any reasonable man for the last fortnight. The 'kickers' are invariably the men who are faring better today than they would at home—men who have never been able to command a living such as Uncle Sam now furnishes them. The service would be better off without them, but there are always a few such in every army, and

I sup pose we shall have to endure them as philosophically as we can."—Chaplain Carstensen in a letter to the Sentinel, published June 22, 1898.

The Frankfort Times doesn't like the idea of reassembling the 158th regiment in this city. It says: "It strikes us that this will be an unpopular and at the same time an unwise movement. It also would be au almost impossible thing to do. The orders in the oral furloughs issued to the members of the regiment were that they should report at Camp Mount, Indianapolis, on the 17th of October. It would be an almost end less task to change these orders, as the men are by no means bound to re port there by companies, and many will doubtleos go back from other points of the state than their home town. The records of ail the men are at Camp Mount, the camp paraphernalia is there, the examining surgeons for the mustering out examinations are there, ana finally, but not ine least of the reasons why it will not likely be done, is that the men and officers will object. They will by no means want to do all the extra work that will be imposed upon them by a chango in camp, simply to give the Crawfordsville poople a show."

The fact ,hij metier ia th«..t Crawfords' le ba volunteered to move all the camp paraphernalia here free of charge and then, again, this city is aa centrally locutud for tha members of the regiment as is Indianapolis. The grounds are much better than those at Camp Mount and far from the officers and men objecting most of them are strongly in favor of the plan. The objections of the Times are not well taken and show a spirit of great un-

fairness.

Lowered Dig Record.

Lafayette Journal: Egg wood, the handsome and speedy brown stallion owned by Thomas Murdock, made a new mark at Milwaukee yesterday. He was entered in the 2:15 trot and was in tho buuch of eleven starters that left the wire. He did not win the race, but he did the next best thing and was given second money. The best time was 2:14%- Egarwood won the 2:20 trot at the county fair ^nd duplicated the performance at the

Montgomery county fair. He was bought of Joe Taylor, of Montgomery county, by Mae Gregory, who sold him to his present owner. Eggwood has

DR. WEST'S WORK.

How tho Contributions For His Work in the Fur Orient Were Kxpended.

Tiik Journ.vi, is in receipt of the following letter and enclosure from Dr. Tucker: To the Editor The Journal. "Valparaiso, Ind., Sept. 20. 1898.— If you will be kind enough to print the within letter from Dr. West, it will be a favor to many who are interested in this work. Dr. West has accomplished a great deal witn tne little money we gave him. I know that those who contributed to this fund will be pleased to know what good has been accomplished. Dr. West is in debt now on this work nearly §100. We ought not allow him to pay this out of his small salary. If anyone feels disposed to aid him in this good work by helping to pay off this little debt, they can do so and the amount will be gladly received and accounted for. Such persons can leave their contributions with Dr. E. Detchon or send to me, as they many desire. Very kindly, "H. A. Tlvkeh."

Following is Dr. West's letter: "Penang, S. S., Nov. 18, '97.—Dkar Doctoi: Tuckhr:—I have used that farm money as follows: I havo got 35 acres of land in the native state of Kedah, (or Quedah as it is spoiled on most maps). It is about 20 miles from Penang, situated on the mainland of the Malay Peninsula. I have arranged to have 1,000 cocoanut trees planted aud in seven years these will yield a revenue of SI each por year. I have built a church and dwelling house, the house for the preacher and a bedroom for the minister, all of teak wood and a cook house with accommodations for 100 people. Now I have exceeded the amount I received from you by $75. Would it be possible for you to raise that amount and send me?

I have borrowed the money and am paying interest on it. 1 thought it best to finish up the place at once. I have a church membership there of 27 already and I baptized, a man and wornan last Sunday there. We will have our own people living on the farm, our own church and every thing. The people have helped as they were ablet having contributed $30 to the buildings. Please let me know if you think you can do anything and also give me the names of the original donors so that I can write to them to report progress. You know 1 never had a list of the donors. We are all well. With best regards, yours sincerely, "B. P. WEST."

7:^/' A Bad Egg.

Fred Johnson and Billy DerickBon,"4 of the colored volunteers, are home ojjf a five days' furlough and Johnson hadn't been in town two hours before he was out hunting trouble. His wife, Georgie Daniels Johnson, had sued him for divorce before he joined the army but when he came back he presumed that it was still his privilege to abuse her as of old. He accordingly kicked her a few times for luck and gave her shove in the face. He then started out for more trouble and was so succerBful that before night there were two warrants out for his arrest. He declared that be was not amenable to the civil law when the officer went after him but just the same he was on hand Wednesday in the mayor's court. Johnson was a bad egg before be joined the army and his experience there has not curbed his vicious inclinations ia the least.
