PASSING OF A VETERAN.

Geo. W. Snyder Dies Wednesday at His Home on ICast College Street Alter Long Illness.

Geo. W. Snyder, who has been ill for some time, died Wednesday evening at 7 o'clock at his home on east College street. After the death of his wife, which occurred in this city four years ago, he failed rapidly in bodily vigor and rejoiced in the fact that he would soon join her on the other shore. From this time until his death, friends, neighbors, and even stranger were especially kind and attentive to him, gifts, sympathy and consolation showered upon "Uncle George," as he was familiarly and lovingly ^alled. Mr. Snyder was one of the charter members and organizers of the Odd Fellows lodge in Orawfordsville, and always a firm believer in and an ardent admirer of this grand order. His love for his home, wife, children and grandchildren was supreme. He was a friend to everyone, big-hearted, self-sacrificing, one of nature's own noblemen. Amiable in disposition, for him every dark cloud had a silver lining showing through. The last act of his life, even while suffering intensely, was to make a little neighbor child happy by a farewell Christmas gift. During his last illness he spoke with pride of being the oldest printer in this city and every time he closed his eyes he saw a newspaper and remarked that he could even tell the contents which were opened I^ore his vision. Once he remarked, "Who prints that paper?"

The funeral will occur at 307 east College street this afternoon at 3 o'clock, Dr. H. Nave officiating, assisted by Dr. Thomson and Rev. Fyffe. The editors of the city papers will act as pall bearers.

George Weaver Snyder was one of, if not the oldest editors and printers in the state of Indiana. He was born in Martinsburg, Virginia, in the year 1812. His ancestors came over to this country from Germany. His father, Jacob Snyder, was in the war of 1812, owned large iron works in Martinsburg and traveled on horseback to Philadelphia to purchase stock for the same. His grandfather, Nicholas Marquette, served seven years in the Revolutionary war, was an intimate friend of General Washington and only a few feet distant when Cornwallis surrendered his sword at Yorktown.

George W. Snyder commenced learning the printing business in 1830 in Cumberland, Md. Had worked at the trade in Pennsylvania, Virginia and Indiana with occasional intervals ever since. He came to Indiana in 1S32 and engaged in newspaper work at Covington. Iu 1836 he purchased the Orawfordsville Record, which was at this time a frontier paper, there being none printed further west. In 1840 he started another paper in Orawfordsville called The Examiner. After running it sis moath6 sold to Phillip Engle, who changed the name to The Review, when Mr. Snyder again became proprietor, who afterward sold to John B. Powders and Enos Canutt. Then P. E Engle again bought the paper and again it was sold to Mr. Snyder, who disposed of it to Bennett Engle. Mr. Snyder then published papers at Rockvilleand Frankfort for several years, and in 1866 bought the Orawfordsville JOURNAL of Jere Keeney and continued its publication until 1868, when he Bold the same to T. H. B. McCain and J. H. Hendricks, -after which he resurrected a plant at Veedersburg called The Reporter, running it mo&t acceptably for a number of years until he disposed of it to Edwin A. Nye, and took charge of The Tribune at Jamestown, and although 82 years old, he wrote editorials, solicited advertising, Bet up jobs, worked off his paper every week on a Rankin press, worked at the case^ day after day, year after year, manipulating the matallic indices with fingers which had not forgotten their cunning though stiff with age, until a few yearB ago. Mr. Snyder was married August 31, 1837, to Mary Caroline McUonnell, daughter of Esquire McConnell, once a prominent citizen of Orawfordsville, by Rev. James Thomson. At the time of his marriage he was editor of Orawfordsville Record, acted as justice of the peace 4ive years and was nostmaster eight years. While editor of the Jamestown Tribune in 1887, he and his aged wife, assisted by their children, Mrs. Nathaniel Beatty, Mrs. Margaret Rvker, Mrs. John A. Clark,

John J. and Mary E. Snyder, celebrated their golden wedding. He voted for^ sixteen presidential candidates, having met eleven of them and took prominent part in the inaugural ceremonies of James K. Polk. He was a great philosopher and after the defeat of a favorite candidate, remarked that he would go home and read Baxter's "Saints' Rest." He was intensely patriotic, and though barred by the age limit from enlisting when the civil war broke put, he afterward enlisted in the hundred day service and was sent out to help capture the rebel, John Morgan, when he made his famous raid through Indiana. As an editor he published spicy and wide-awake sheets, waa sarcastic and ironical when occasion required, and at all times wielded a trenchant pen.

STOLE HIDES.

Two Fellows Arrested For Swiping Ten Hides From a CrawfortUvilla Man.

The Lebanon Reporter of Wednesday says: ."A fellow giving his name as John Eads and his home as Indianapolis was arrested this morning by Marshal Oden and Smith Cox. Last night ten hides were stolen from Joseph Goldberg, a Orawfordsville dealer, and Eads is charged with the theft.

Marshal Brown, of Thorntown, was notified of the theft and was asked to keep a sharp lookout for the thief, it being surmised that the fellow had gone toward Thorntown. Mr. Brown instituted inquiries and found that Eads had been in Thurntown and that he sold horsehidep to Jaques & Sons for S22 50. Before he could apprehend the fellow he had left town, coming in this direction. The authorities here were notified and Mr. Brown, in company with Ben Graves, started in pur. suit of the thief. As soon as they were notified, Marshal Oden and Smith Cox started out the Thorntown road to meet Eads. They came across him near Wm. Henry's farm and before he could make a resistance had climbed into his wagon and made him a prisoner. Eads was making his journey in a covered wagon pulled by a dilapidated team composed of a horse and a mule. He was accompanied by William Smith, a fifteen year old boy whom he said was his cousin. In the wagon were found two hides, and in addition a job lot of old shoes, blankets, etc. The outfit was brought on to town and the two strangers were lodged in jail. They said they were on their way from Illinois to Indianapolis. Shortly after their arrival Brown and Graves drove in and the Orawfordsville hide dealer was notified of the apprehension of the thieves. Mr. Goldberg upon re jeipt of the information that the thieves had been arrested, started at once to Thorntownt identify the hides. He is expected nere this evening with the Orawfordsville marshal."

Mr. Goldberg and Marshal Brothers arrived from Lebanon on Thursday with the thieves and they are now in jail. They have told a dozen different stories and are dead sure of conviction. The hides were all marked with Goldberg's private mark and were stolen from his place Sunday or Monday night. Tuesday some rabbit hunters discovered the hides under a culvert near the intersection of the Darlington and Shannondale roads but did not tell Mr. Goldsberg until Wednesday morning. He went jut and finding the hides gone surmised that the thief had gone to Thorntown to sell them. The police suspected that Eads had accomplices but he stoutly denies this, and protests that he purchased the hides from a stranger.

A HOLIDAY WEDDING-

I.uclan W. Carr and Lora K. KwIng are Uuitcd In Marriage at the Christian Church W*ulneri(lay.

Wednesday evening at the Christian church occurred the marriage of Mr. L. W. Carr and Miss Lora E. Ewing, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Ewing. The church had been handsomely decorated for the event with palms and presented a pretty spectacle. Ihe guests were seated as they arrived by the ushers who were Messrs. Tom Ross, Edward Dennis, James Wilhite and Joe Preflvitt. At 8 o'clock the Music Hall orchestra seated within a bower of palms, began the beautiful strains of the Mendelssohn wedding march and to this the bridal party entered. The bride and groom were preceded by the ushers, there being no other attendants, and were met at the altar by the officiating clergyman, Rev. Wallace E. Tharp, pastor of the church. The bride, who is one of the prettiest young ladies of this city, was attired in a handsome gown of French mull, decollette with long sleeves, trimmed with Valenciennes lace and carried bride's roses. The ceremony was that of the ring with responses and was very impressively spoken. During the progress of the service the orchestra rendered softly "O Promise Me," and at its conclusion as the bridal party passed from the church the wedding march from Lohengrin was played. The bride and groom were at once driven to an elegantly appointed cottage which had been prepared by the groom for their occupancy. There was no reception because of the inability of the father of the bride to be present. Mr. Ewing is in charge of the Indian schools at Fort Apache, Ariz., which is ninety miles over the mountains by stage coach from a railroad station, and travel there at this time of the year is almost impossible. Mr. Ewing sent to his daughter as a wedding present a very elegant pair of Navajo Indian blankets, which are magnificent specimens of this race's handiwork. At the home of the happy young couple were displayed the wedding gifts to the bride, which comprised many handsome pieces of solid silver and beautiful Chinaware. The present from the city officials was an elegant brass trimmed divan, and from the orchestra, of which the groom is a member,an exquisite onyx topped table with an ornamental vase. The groom holds a responsible position with the municipal light plant and is a young man who has made a host of friends by his business ability and genial manners, and he has won for his bride one of the most popular and accomplished young ladies of this city. Mr. and Mrs. Carr start in their new lives with the best wishes of their legion of friends who are pleased at the consummation of such a happy nuptial event.

The guests from out of the city were as follows: Robert Ewing, Miss Rose Devol, Misses Clara, Kate and Alice Johnson, of Lebanon Miss Maud Allen, Mr. and Mrs. Russell Allen, of Indianapolis Warren Wilson, of Ladoga Mr. and Mrs. Grantham, of Greencastle Miss Jessie Watson, of Chicago Miss Ethel Atchison, of Annapolis Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Fraley, of Linden Miss Maude Grantham, of Greencastle Mrs. Simeon Smith, of Bloomfield Hon.
