HAVE SOLD OUT.

Voris & Cox Dispone of Their Hailware Business and Will Ie»l Exclusively iu Wire GoodK.

Voris & Cox have sold their hardware store to a new firm composed of Ben Oliver, Charles Gould, H. Martin, and Hal Martin. The work of invoicing was begun on Monday and as soon as it is completed the new proprietors will be in possession. The new firm will be an exceptionally strong one and will do a heavy business from the beginning. The members are thoroughly versed in the hardware business and their popular and wide acquaintance over this and adjoining counties iB not the least valuable adjunct to their prospective trade.

Voris & Cox, who have ma^e a signal success in the hardware business, intend to devote their whole time to the wholesale wire business, which has grown to such proportions since they made it a branch of their hardware business as to absorb their whole attention. They will office in the Crawford building, just north of THE JOUBNAL building, and will have as a ware: house the buildings of the late wire fence company, where they now have a 820,000 stock of wire goods Btored. They will do no retail business at all but will greatly increase and extend their wholesale business, handling wire, wire fencing, wire nails, and, in short, everything made of wire.

CHARLIE BENJAMIN.

DOBING the winter of 1897 Mr. James Reed, one of the leading citizens and merchants of Clay, Clay Co., W. Va., struck his leg against a cake of icain such a manner as to bruise it severely. It became very much swollen and pained him so badly that he could not walk without the aid of crutches. He was treated by physicians, also used several kinds of liniment and two and a half (rations of whisky in bathing It, but nothing gave anv relief until he beean ustnsr Chamberlain's Pain Balm. This brousrht almost a complete cure in a week's time and he believes that had he not used this remedy his letr would have had to be amputated. Pain Balm is unequaled for Bprains, bruises and rheumatism. For sale by Nye & Booe, druggiBts.

ORA^VFORDSYILLE, INDIANA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1899—TWELVE PAGES.

For

Cairy O. Young, the young man who this summer started the Flat Rock park and who later asked the .council for a street car franchise, has come to the front in anew way. He has sued the commission houses of T. A. Bryant and Purdy Company for money which he alleges they owe him. He asks Mr. Bryant to shell out $900 in cash and from Purdy & Company he would like $75. All the Crawfordaville banks are made party defendants in order that they may be enjoined from giving up any deposits the commission houses may have on hand.

Toung does not claim that he lost the money speculating in grain but has a different story. He says that he deposited certain sums with both commission houses and that while he had losses he did not have them to the extent of the deposits. He alleges that Bryant haa of his money $900 more than he has lost and that Purdy & Company have $75 in a like manner. It is this he wants.

'PLAIN GEORGE-'

His Congressional Boom is Assuming Keal Proportions—A Jolly From Lafayette.

The Lebanon Pioneer, the Crawfordsville Review and a number of other Democratic papers of this district are booming George Harney for the congressional nomination. The Lafayette Journal speaks of the movefnent as follows: "The Lebanon Pioneer has started a boom for George Harney, of Crawfordsville, aB the Democratic candidate for congress in the Ninth district. The probability is that no better choice could be made, if the seven counties of the district were hyinted .over from the border of Cass to the edge of Vermillion. There are a good many things In his favor. In the first place, he Is a Democrat. He inherits his politics from a father, who fought through the Mexican war and came home with the creed of Jefferson and Jackson fixed firm as his hold on life. "Young George was born in Montgomery, grew up there, was graduated from Wabash college, and was admitted to the bar. He was a lawyer in the enjoyment of a good practice when the war with Spain began, and he left it to joiu the army. He waB promoted to the office of lieutenant, and dis charged all the duties to which he was called, and was finally mustered out of the Bervice at the end of hostilities and returned to his home* He stands about six feet and an inch in his stockings, and 'looks the whole world the face, for he owes not any man "He is as honest a specimen of young

American manhood as lives. He is a good mixer. He is about thirty-five years old. He is an able speaker, and capable of an immeasurable amount of work. If he wants the nomination, and It comes to him, the good people of the Ninth district may count on his seeing every voter and telling them without reservation his honest opinion o,n the great issues before the country. "He is, too, a man of more than or dinary literary ability. His sketches descriptive of army life at a big camp of American soldiers were purchased by McClure, of New York, and were pronounced—as they certainly deserved to be—of the very first merit There Isn't a flaw about him.

In one sense, it isn't any of the Journal's affair. But all Democrats must be interested. In the election of Democratic congressmen. And it is very likely the selection of a new man would be better for the party there than another trial for a former nominee, no matter how excellent he might be."

Regimental Reunion.

Capt. Talbot left Monday for Cynthiana, Ky., where he went to attend the reunion of the 7th Kentucky cavalry. At this reunion the cavalry entertained the veterans of Morgan's famous confederate cavalry, and on Wednesday Capt. Talbot made the welcoming addresB to the confederates, which was responded to by Col. W. C. Breckinridge. This was in the nature of a compliment to the captain, as this was the first affair of the kisd ever held where the gray has been entertained by the blue, and especially the two organizations which were each the other's most hated enemies during tbe time of Morgan's raidB through Kentucky and Indiana, nc coming together for their first peaceful meeting.

Scott Township.

To the Editor of the Journal. Scott township has awakened to the Interest of her children and there is a petition in circulation to consolidate all the schools into one with the exception of the three brick school houses on the west side. This new district will be four by six miles. The petition is being signed by all the heavy taxpayers In this area, only three out of fifty-four having so far refused to 6ign it. It Is proposed to erect In 1900 a seven room brick building with a furnace underneath, closets, etc to be a graded school and high school combined, with all the modern apparatus of a first class school.

Sunday Uveniog.

Dr. Wallace Tharp last 'Sunday announced from the pulpit of the Christian church that on next Sunday evening he would preach his sermon on the second coming of Christ. He Btated that since the publication of his remarks of the Sunday before, he had received many letterB from all over the country In which the writers

ed that they held views similar to his and a number of them advanced new and interesting reasons. Much interest is being manifested in the opinions of Dr. Tharp and it is needless to state that his auditorium will prove inadequate for his congregation next Sunday evening.

AN ELOPEMENT.

A Fifteen Year Old Girl Carried Off By An Amorous Farm Hand.

Special to tbe Journal. NEW Ross, 8ept. 29.—William Stewart, an employe of Farmer Sandlin, north of here, yesterday morning started presumably to a field to cut fodder, but instead went to Advance and donned a new suit of clothes. Here he met Miss Effie Hamilton, who had gone to that place, as she told her parents, to have some pictures taken. Arrangements being completed, Ben Thompson brought them to this place, where they boarded a Big Four train and went to Danville, 111., where they were married.

The happy couple returned to this place yesterday evening. The bride is tbe fifteen year old daughter of Ed Hamilton, a farmer living two miles northeast of here. The match was opposed by the girl's parents, hence the elopemezit. It Is said that Mr. Hamilton is very indignant over the affair and refuses to be reconciled.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

Monon Section Men Meet a Freight Train on a Curve and Leap for Tbeir Livet.

LastFriday afternoon the Monon section gang under boss F. E. Haten had a narrow escape from tragic death. They had started for the north end of their division on a hand car and approached the brick yard curve just as a freight train under a heavy head of steam came rolling around from the other direction. Both hand car and engine were approaching each other at a lively speed when the curve was rounded and the men, with yells of terror, leaped for their lives. An instant later the hand car was struck and splinters of wood and iron were thrown high in the air, falling in a shfower among the bushes round about. All the section men escaped injury, except Ben McCloud, who had his foot mashed. He had recklessly attempted to pull the car off the traek and how he escaped death is a mystery. No one seems to know just whose carelessness caused the accideat.

Guided her safe to a world of cheer. Children of the deceased render their sincere thanks to the neighbors for their kindness shown them in thei? sad bereavement.

At Fort Leavenworth.

One of the Boldier boys, writing from Ft. Leavenworth, eays: "Everything at the camp is provi sional as yet, even to the officers. The companies have not been assigned letters and are known as 'provision at Co. 1, etc.' There are men from all parts of the country in the regiment*, but the southerners Beem to predominate. The camp and grounds are almost an ideal spot for a camp. It is on the side of a hill and slopes down to the Missouri river, which is about half a mile from the camp. All the drinking water has to be boiled before we are allowed to use it. The men are equipped as fast as the ordnarse can be hauled. We drill about three hours a day, but there are long rests between, so it is not too hard. There was a total of 887 men enrolled in the regiment Saturday, and it is expected that by the first of the week it will be filled."

Married.

Frederick A. Mills and Miss June E. Kennedy were married on the lBt instant by Rev. G. W. Stafford at the home which they had previously prepared as their future residence on east Pike street, where they will be at home to their friendB. The wedding was very quiet. Only a few special friends were present to witness the ceremony, which was performed in the most pleasant manner.
