of All Present.

Wednesday night quite a number of people were gathered at Reimann's restaurant at supper time and all things were conducive to enjoyment until a couple of young bloods, much the worse for liquor, entered and taking seats began to indulge in loud and not altogether elegant talk. Their unseemly and maudlin conduct was tolerated until they finally began spitting the victuals from their mouths into their plates, taking more up only to repeat the performance. ThiB beastly conduct was so plainly to disturb the stomachs of everyone else in the room that there were soon loud protests. Finally F. P. Mount, who was present with two or three friends, stepped to the front and stated the case to Mrs. Reimann, asking her consent to relieve the room of the obnoxious company. This done he returned to the dining room and seizing a cub with each hand, he rushed them to the street before those present were aware of what was going on. He was liberally applauded on his return and voted the thanks of everyone remaining in the room. The richly merited bouncing seemed to sober the young men and they slunk off into the darkness with a commendable celerity.

.* Divorce Granted. Thursday in the circuit court Sarah Souder was granted a divorce from Richard Souder on a cross complaint. Souder was clearly shown to be a cold storage egg.

While waiting for the train at the Danville Junction Bill Bly, of this city, engaged in an altercation with Kid Henderson and a fight resulted. Henderson had a regular picnic with Bly and when Bly reached Crawforflsville he looked as though a train of forty loaded coal cars had run over him. He will not decorate his wonted position of conspicuity in polite society for some time. When Henderson had finished up Bly another gentleman present essayed to do what Bly had so signally failed in and was served even more roughly than the unfortunate Bill, He was left in a box car surrounded by his sorrowing friends.

THE BULL FIGHT. AT MUSIC HALL.

thiB

place, and Ells

worth Snyder, of Covington, did not take place at Covington Wednesday as was expected. About forty went from Crawfordsville to Fountain county's capital but when they arrived there they learned that Sheriff Miller had declared that the fight could not occu.". At the(last fight there his pocket was picked of 850 and this made him so sore that be would not let the game go on. However, in the expectation that he would relest tickets were sold and the ball was filled with the society people of Covington and the recherche element that went from here. Before the time set for the slugging Sheriff Miller entered the place and announced that he would arrest the first man that stepped in the ring. The sports fairly howled with rage but the flea bitten official was obdurate and he declared that not even if they refunded his lost 850 would he allow the fight to be pulled off. Finally it was announced that the meeting wouid adjourn to Leonard's road house in Danville, 111., and that the fight would there take place. This caused much dissatisfaction as most of the audience had spent their all to get ia the Covington hall and didn't have the price of a trip to Danville. Cory and Snyder signed new articles agreeing to tight ten rounds and the crowd thon distributed itself to the saloons of the place, which did a thriving business the rest of tbe

night. Drunken gangs of brutal thugs roamed the streets shouting and 6inging and there were twenty or more disgraceful fights. The worst of these encounters occurred in McMains' saloon where Torn McMains wits struck on the bead by Tom Bayers with a beer I bottle and dangerously injured.

Most of the Crawfordsville talent returned home on the midnight train sore »»nd disgusted but perhaps a dozen went on to Danville with the Covington push and the principals. At Danville no opposition was encountered and about four o'clock Thursday morning the fight really took place. About fifty fellowB witnessed it and an eye witness describes it as being the iliost brutal spectacle he ever witnessed. Cory was much cleverer than Snyder but be was unable to finish his man. DuriDg the ten rounds Snyder landed only once, then striking Cory on the jaw. In every round Cory fought viciously and literally battered Snyder's face to a pulp. The man would go down like a beef but jumping up, spitting blood and bellowing with rage, he would rush at Cory only to be knocked off his feet again. This thing began in the first round and continued until the end, Snyder displaying a gameness that elicited the wild applause of his friends. He was simply soaked in blood when time was called at the end of the tenth round and repeatedly fainted while being washed and plastered. The princely purse of 875 was equally divided and the meeting broke up.

'Ihe Popular Old Drama, Damon ami 1'ytluiin, IK 1'reMunted Wednandiiy Kvening.

Quito a fair audionqe assembled at Music Hall Wednesday to witness the presentation of the popular old drama, Damon and Pythias, given under the auspices of Deliayard Lodge, K. of 1'. Considering the short time the talent had had to prepare for the performance ihe play was atfuirably put on. The costuming was excellent and the individual work of several of the cast was of a high ordor of excellence. The audience was liberal wit.h applause and evidently appreciated the treat which was afforded. There was considerable regrot at the failure of W. C. Carr to appear, ho being indisposed. However, hie place was acceptably filled by Mr. Wishard, of Gosport, who had filled the part before. The following was the cast of characters: D.iuio Harry Webber Pythias Will H. Johnston Dlonysius Mr. Wishard Philiatus T. A. Bryant Damocles A. W. Johnson Proxies Ivy Carr Lucullus w. A. Swank Bervant to Pythias...v. J. T. Prewltt Damon's Child Leo

STRUNG THEM-

Guy Smith ai I Dora Moore, of LiHtayrtte, Claim to Have Taken Out a Marriage license Here.

The Lafayette Couriev contains the following interesting item: "Another secret marriage has come to light and one of the moatprominent young men in the city is the groom. On the 18th of June, 1898, in this city, occurred the marriage of Guy McllvaiDe Smith, only tion of lion and Mrs. B. Wilson Smith, and Miss Dora I. Moore. There had been objection on the part of the groom's family on account of his youth and the question as to his ability financially to take unto himself a wife. Daspito the objaction the young people were secretly married, but it had not been their intention to keep the affair a secret for so long a time. The marriage license was sccured in Crawfordsville. The first intimation that the groom's family had of the marriage came last week when the young benedict sent for his father, now a resident of Indianapolis, and to him confessed his happiness. One of the groom's sisters, Miss Benaldine, was aware of the marriage from the first, but bad loyally kept the secret. Mr. Smith was chagrined and somewhat angered upon first receiving the startling news, but acceptsithe inevitable gracefully, and has already given the happy young people his blessing. The groom refuses to divulge the name of the minister, as that divine had befriended him and deserves his considerate silence."

The above is all very well but in one particular it will not hold water. The couple were never granted license to wed in Montgomery county. They will have to think over the matter again and Btudy up the place where they really were favored.
