lie Wife ami Infant Child »r .lohn Carrinjjton, of Near Wingate Killed I5y Dynamite Kxpiosion.

La8t Friday afternoon shortly after three o'clock a terrible accident occurred at the home of John Carrington, two and a half miles southwest of Wingate. The other day Carrington came to. Crawfordsville and purchased of Voria & Cox ten pounds, of dynamite and took it home for the purpose of blowing out stumps in a clearing near the house. Friday afternoon abnut two o'clock he took all but three pouuds of the explosive to the clearing and placed the three pounds remaining on the floor near the kitchen store "to thaw it out." An hour

later the report of the blast at a stump was followed by a terrific roar from toward the house and Carrington turning his eyes in that direction saw that an explosion had wrecked the place completely. He hurried to the house, or rather to the debris which marked the spot where it had stood, and in the ruins found his wife in a terribly mutilated and dying condition. The noise of the explosion had been heard for miles around and many neighbors were soan on the spot to give aid. Mrs. Carrington's limbs were all broken and there was a gaping wound in her head, but she lived until about 8 o'clock, when she died without having regained consciousness. In the barnyard was found the body of the eighteen months old baby. It had been with its mother at the time the dynamite exploded and was carried far away from the house by the force of the powder. The body was mutilated in a sickening manner and the head was literally blown ojf.

A peculiar feature of the accident was the escape of the eight year old Carrington girl. Just before the accident occurred she left the house and going into the yard was attracted by »the cackling of a hen under the front part of the structure. Thinking she had discovered a hidden nest she crawled under the house and was robbing the nest when the dynamite exploded. She was caught by the heavy timbers but. strange to relate was not seriously hurt, although naturally being bady bruised. It was thought for some time that she was dead also and the truth was not known until her cries attracted attention to her prison. The house was a very old one and was part of logs and part frame. The force of the explosion simply reduced it to splinters and fragments of the dwelling could be found all over the adjoining fields. Large sills were split up as though for use in a kitchen stove and the furniture was 6imply blown to bits. The eldest child of the Carrington's, a 17 year old boy, narrowly escaped death. Just before the accident he had left for Wingate to make a purchase. When the word of the accident reached Wingate many people went out to view the ruins and doctors went to give aid to Mrs. Carrington, but arrived after her death,

There seems to be some doubt as to the cause of the explosion. Some maintain that it resulted from the concussion of the explosion of the dynamite in the stump and others think that it became overheated by its proximity to the Btove in the kitchen.

Carrington went to Coal Creek township not long ago from the Russellville neighborhood, where he was raised.

"Reunion of Wllder's Brigade.

Indianapolis Journal: Governor Mount yesterday received a letter from General Wilder stating that he is arranging to hold a reunion of his brigade at the Terre Haute encampment to be held next month. It was Wilder's brigade which captured the flag of Terry's Texas Rangers which will be returned next fall. At the Terre Haute encampment arrangements will be completed for the dedication of the

Park. General Wilder suggests that Col. A. O. Miller, of Lebanon, be invit

to Texas with the flag as he was in command of the brigade when the charge was made which resulted in the capture of the flag.

of that medicine. Such persons make

a point of telling of it whenever op' portunlty offers, hoping that it may be the means of saving other lives. For sale by Nye & Booe, druggists.

The I'rKoto lie I'aid This Spring Will Not, He so High UK That, of Last, Year.

Last Friday Yount & Russell mode a deal with the agent of a New England factory for thb purchase of the wool they bought here last spring, hey had seventy-Sve thousand pounds an excellent quality and for the most of it paid twenty-two cents a pound. They sold it Friday at a positive loss on the purchase price and still received the top of the market for

Last spring there was great rival-

it ry among the western Indiana buyers and the Montgomery nounty dealers in order to maintain their time honored the dealers elsewhere had to go beyond the price their judgment warranted. Still they hoped to come out all right as the war with Spain promised to boom the market and besides there was a general elevation of all the markets. The wool market, however, failed to keep pace and still gives no material promise of a boom. The production of wool in this country last year was enormous and this fact had much to do with the keeping of the price down. The clip of this year will begin to come in next month but it will not command the price that last year's wool brought. The market will probably open at eighteen cents and if it goes over tbat it will be because of something not now calculated upon. In moat parts of the state last season the dealers paid only eighteen cents and in selling this spring to the eastern factories they barely come out even.

HAVE MADE A DISCOVERY.

Temperance LenderH Say the County Reform I.aw Hurts the Nicholson Law.

The temperance leaders of the state have made the discovery tbat the County Reform law has gotten too close to the Nicholson law for comfort. The provision which does the mischief is the section requiring the county commissioners to meet monthly instead of quarterly. This makes the remonstrators under the Nicholson law come into court twelve times each year instead of four, in many places An effort will be made to amend the Nicholson law at the next legislature, by which one remonstrance in a township will defeat all applicants for twe yearB.

Stoned tlie House.

At Kirkpatrick laet Thursday night a mob of fellows surrounded the residence of a rather shady female and began to throw stones at the doors and windows. A warm fusilade was kept up for some time and the shrieks of the terrified women could be heard for far around. Finally a couple of men who were visiting there rushed out and made a break for tall timber, followed by a shower of missies from the besiegers. None of the women

Hound the World In a Hundred Days,

On December 31,1898, Albert S. Galey started a letter around the world and Monday it came back to him in excel lent condition. He placed on the envelope a five-cent postage stamp and then addressed it to A. S. Galey, Tokio, Japan, care of the United States consul. In the upper left hand corner were instructions to forward it from Tokio to Calcutta, and from Calcutta to Rome, hence to Crawfordsville. It was mailed on December 31 at 7:1^ and was delivered to Mr. Galey last i.'on

•Speaks Iiitcrefttingly or Culiaiin— Is It AKiitiiHt Trustft.

A Washington special states that Representative Charles H. Landis, of Delphi, lnd., is not highly impressed with the qualifications of the Cubans for self-government. HIB conclusions were reached as a result of his recent visit to the island, in company with Representative Lacy, of Iowa, and other members. Said Mr. Landis: "The characteristics of the Cubans surprise me. I confess that I was deeply in sympathy with their struggle for independence before the war, but I learned from my visit to the island many things about the* peculiarities of the natives which, to my mind, prove them absolutely unfit for self-government. I asked Gen. Wood, in command at Santiago, if he did not believe the withdrawal of tho United States troops from the island would result in anarchy. lie replied by saying that a short time before our arrival a report went abroad through Santiago province that the United States troops were to be withdrawn. In an hour after the report got out, the consuls from the British, French and German governments called on him in a body to inquire officially if the report was true. They said it it was, they intended to send cable dispatches at once to their governments to send warships "I talked with Dr. Orlando Ducker, who was one of the surgeons with our army during the battle of Santiago.

He afterward had charge of the yellow fever hospital there, and on account of his efficient service was recently put in charge of tho hospital at*llavana. tie told me that in attending wounded soldiers he frequently found their fingers badly lacerated, and on inquiring was told by the soldiers themselves that these injuries were caused by thieving Cubans, who, as the American Boldiers lay wounded on the battlefield, Btripped their fingers of rings and inflicted theBe painful injuries. The general characteristics of the Cubans are laziness, untruthfulness and general cuasedness."

Speaking of trusts Mr. Landis says: "In our state the Republican party was never in better condition and the Democrats were never worse off, as they are thoroughly demoralized. This seems to be true throughout the whole country, and while it is rather early to discuss politics, I believe the Republicans will win hands down in the next campaign. All traces of the panic have disappeared, business ip improving, wages are being increased voluntarily, and altogether the laboring people are well off and apparently happy. Money 1B cheap, the farmers beiDg able to borrow all the money they require for improvements as low as 4 per cent. All of this will redound to the credit of the Republican party. There is but one blot on the existing conditions, and that is the formation of so many gigantic trusts. If it proved they area menace to legitimate trade and in any way restrict it, I be lieve the next national will declare against these corporations in its platform and that congress will enact legislation to carry out the wishes of the people as expressed in that platform."

Grand Jury Will He Called.

Prosecutor Reeves will call the grand jury this term of court and there will come before it quite a number of interesting matters It is whispered that a self constituted reform committee proposes to submit to the jury's attention certain forms of law breaking that are rather too common here at present.

PART SECOND

Itrownr, of Chicago, l.cctures ltefore tho Ouliiteuoii Club Ximt Week.

Dr. IJrower, of Rush medical college, was greeted by an interested and attentive audience last Thursday at the

M. C. A. chapel whore he lectured before tho Ouiatenon club and a few guests. Dr. lirower lectured on the medical aspcct of crime and his address was illustrated profusely by sterioptican views explanatory of the topics treated. Dr. Brower maintains, as is now becoming generally conceded, that crime is a disease and should so be treated. He would not abandon the idea of punishing crime but would supplement pnnishment with medical treatment, or rather moral treatment After demonstrating the alarming increase of critno and explaining the cause of such increase he proposed what would be to some extent pre*' ventative remedy. He held that every man convicted of an offanse should be sent to a reformatory for an indeterminate period which has no limit as the law in this state has. The offender should be kept there under approved reform treatment until ho should be pronounced reformed. Should he fail to show improvement he should be sent to a prison better suited to his case than a simple reformatory and possibly kept there during his natural life. Dr. Brower has made a long and careful study of typical criminal cases in Chicago and finds that the prisonl methods which now obtain are farcial so far as beneficial results to the criminals are concerned. He pleaded for a divorce of politics and reform schools' management and in cflosing urged the adoption of a radical marriage law. He would forbid tho marriage of any person ever convicted of crime, of any person of criminal antecedents, of any consumptive, of epileptics, of paupers, or those tainted by any sexual disease. Dr. Brower believes that if marriage could be properly regulated it would not be many generations before there would bo a model race inhabiting this country.

A Wedding.

At the homo of Rev. H. McCalip at 7 p. m. on the evening of April

curred one of the most quiet weddings of the season there being no one present but the bride and groom except a neighbor and wife, called in as witnesses. The contracting parties, Mr. Charles M. Servies and Mrs. Emma F. Smith, are so well and favorably known as to Buperceed the necessity of further comment. Mr. ServieB is one of the most prosperous young farmers in the county, having by industry and good economy succeeded in building the cage before catching the bird. The bride is a lady of high moral Btanding and ripe experience with a good farm to back it up. With such prospects we can predict nothing but peace and prosperity. So nay it be.

Houglit a Horseless Carriage.

Cliff Voris and Fred Gregg returned last week from Kokomo, where they

convention Thursday purchased a fine horseless carriage for use here in Crawfordsville. They will receive the vehicle on May 25 and it will be in rental after that date. It is adapted to use on country roads and will be especially in demand for trips to the Shades. It will carry a party of eight people beside the driver and has three

Bpeeds,

five miles an hour, ten miles, and flf-" teen miles. It can climb with ease any hill hereabouts and besides the novelty has many advantages over livestock motors.
