with hydro carbon incandescent gas lights. It is one of the, bent, country churches we havf seen and is a great honor to thoso who wocked so indefatigably for its construction, among whom was Rev i7. Fostill, the worthy psstor, who hao been unceasing in bis efforts to alvacce the eaute of his church iii every -vtw possible. Bro. Posti'l miL'hi. he tilled "the church builder," us lin earn* hero bxo years ago tb*s full from Fontanel,
where he had just caused the erection of a fine church, to find three old dilapidated church buildings—two of them here and one at Wingate—hardly fit to hold services in, but he went to work with energy and determination, and now haB two of them replaced with churcheB that area credit to the community and an honor to Wingate circuit. It iB expccted that he will cause the erection of a new church at Hillsboro duriDg next summer. A picture of Rev. Poatill is herewith presented, and also of the new Blmdale church.
They could not have asked for a better day tor the dedication. The morning was a little gloomy, but before 9 o'clock the sua began to shoot welcome rays between the broken clouds, and before 10 o'clock the house was crowded to its utmost capacity. Rev. H. A. Gobin, D. D., preached an excellent sermon upon the theme, "The Highway of Holiness," and immediately after raised the deficiency. The society was in debt 8870 66, for which sum the people were asked, and they cheerfully responded by giviDg 81,053.23. In the afternoon Rev. J. F. McDaniel preached a stirring sermon which was greatly appreciated. Dr. Gobin preached with power again at night on the theme, "Christ the-Light of the World." The people and pastor are rejoicing together... over tbis great victory. r_

eon years it hold its meetings at the cabins of the members and at the log
school bmisos which abounded country at that early date, and in 1S51 the old church that stands just across tho road from tho new one was built, and has been doiug duty for forty-eight years. When tbis old church was new wo thought it a palace and many of the best tninsiters in the conference have ministered to the spiritual wants of the people here. Amov.g them wae Allen A. Gee, D. D., who was at one time secretary of the Freedman's Aid and Southern Education Society, and superintendent of Eaglish missions in Mexico, and, by the way, Rev. Gee and Rev. J. B. Mer&han were the pastors in charge when the old church was built. That old veteran, George W. Stafford, who has bean a prominent member of thi6 conference and a director of Methodism in Indiana for much more than half a century, was an early day pastor of this congregation and also served two different terms in the old church. Bro Stafford Btill lives in oar midst and can

the benefit of his
.'abors. In 1852 the conference sent Hezekiah Smith and W. 8. Wheeler to this work, and they wer« good workers for the Master, and have been succeeded by soma of the best talent of the Northwest Indiana conference, and many prosperous eeesons have been held in the walls of this old church, which has now been turned to other uses. This church has never had a very large membership, but it has always been a strong and vigorous society, making up in enthusiam and good work what it has lacked in numbers. To it has belonged many stalwart and pious servants of God, among which many deserve special mention. There was & spccial trio that no history of the church would be complete if it did not mention. We refer to Cooley, Wideuer and Bennett. John A. Cooley was from the first organization until his death in the spring of 1864, one of the leading members. He was class leader, steward, and trustee, and many times made up the deficiencies in the

preacher's salary. John Widener wa3 also a conspicuous character. He came here in 1848 and while he lived was always on the line of duty, whether it was popular or not. He was a local preacher and binger of ability. To him is dedicated a memorial window back of the choir platform. Edward P. Bennett was in among the first and was ever at the front in the cause of the Master. No preaching service, prayer meeting, or class meeting was considered complete if Brother Bennett was absent. He died in the fall of .1862, leaving a widow who still lives in the neighborhood. There are many other veteranB who might be mentioned, but these three who have passed away are eepecially worthy of mention because of the prominent part they always took in the affairs of the church. Vincent Utter back and Jackson Quick, who are still living, are veterans of the cross, both having passed the three score and ten mark.
Sold a Vine Farm.
E C. Voris last Friday sold his fine farm near Kirkpatrick to CharleB F. Leech, of Nodaway county, Missouri. This is the farm Mr. Voris bought some months ago from Oren Stingley and John Hutton. It is a fine tract of 240 acres and he sold it for just 816,000, or $66% per acre. The gdeal required $16 worth of revenue stamps.

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.

DARLINGTON,
Nov.
17—One
of the
most distressing accidents that has ever happened in our town occurred here Thursday evening between 4 and 5 o'clock, on the railroad crossing on west Main stroet. A freight train was doing somt switching and wae in the act of coupling a couple of cars on the crossing, just as little Florence Barnhart came along from school, {jroing to her home on the west side of tho track. The one car was in motion and yet she rushed right on and was caught between the couplings, crushing her right side and arm. She was carried with the cars some thirty ifeet before the conductor, who was close by, could signal the engineer to stop. The section men, a couple of train men, and several bystanders witnessed the accident, and rushed to her assistance, aud by the use of pinch-bars soon had the little sufferer released. Tho sight was one that made stout men shudder.
Men were thsre accustomed to seeing tntn crushed and ground to pieces, yet the sight of a little girl crushed and bleeding completely unnerved them. Florence was carried to her homo, a short away. Doctors were called, but soon decided 6he was past medical aid, except to allay the suffering. Kind friends aud neighbors did ail that could be done for the little one and while all expected her to die before morning, yet at this time, (9 a. m., Friday), Bhe still lives, and when out from tho influences of opiates seems rational and talks to her attendants.

The Child Died,
Florence Barnhart, the child Injured by the cars at Darlington last Thursday evening, died last Friday after twen-ty-seven hours of suffering. The funeral occurred at the M. E. church in Darlington Sunday at 2 p. m., conducted by Rev. Crowder, after which the remains were interred in the I. O. 0. F. cemetery.
Death Of Mrs. Charles 15, Wilmington.
Mrs. Charles E. Whittington died Monday night at eleven o'clock at the family home on Simpson street. Her death was due to heart failure and was anticipated only a short time bofore the end came. The funeral occurred at the home, on Wednesday morning at half past nine o'clock and was conducted by Dr. Runyan, of the Baptist church, of which Mrs. Whittington was a devoted communicant. The interment was in the family lot at Freedom church. Mrs. Whittington was born December 28, 1868, and was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E D. Seaman, of Brown township. She was married to CharleB E, Whittington on October 18, 1891 and their life together was a beautiful example of the love that has made life beautiful and the devotion that has made life divine. It was a companionship as nearly perfect as any earthly one and was such as Impressed all those who were privileged in this home made holy by the love of husband and wife. Mrs. Whittington was a woman of rare gifts of both heart and mind and to all who knew her her death is inexpressibly sad.
As to Mortgage Notes.
Assessor Billingsley states that many people are of the impression that if one holds a mortgage on property in a county other than in the county where they reside, that the mortgage note is taxable in that county. This is not the fact. It is taxable in the county where the bolder resides.

the court of the amiable 'Squire Brown, who hired tho biggest hall in town to try the case of thestato against Ectoeh Branson and by the same t.ok«»v tha case of tho state against Wilber G. Houk. It will be remembered that these estimable gentlemen have not been on the best of terms for a number of years and tho courts have simply reeked with the cases promulgated by their troubles. They begin with the soft-eyed 'tquire and end with the stern-eyed supreme court and the devil' utsu&lly gets the hindmoBt and the foremost too. The devil in this case is tho lawyer. For some months there had been an armed truce but grim visaged war broke out again the other day. Hcuk owns eighteen acres of land adjoining Branson's placo, near New Market, and he took advantage of this pleasant weather to go down and look at it. As usual, Mr. Branson

Oae charged him with provoke and the other alleged a vicious assault. Trial was sot for last Thursday and it was had on the assault case, the provoke case being thrown out of court because it had been aied in a township other than that in which the alleged offense wss said to have taken place. Prosecutor Reeves was present but he kindly allowed Mr. Houk to conduct the prosecution, that gentle* man being loaded for bear, which in. this case was Branson. The prosecu* tion was vigorous enough, goodneu knows, and Mr. Houk made two speeches that scared all the quails out1 of the neighborhood. Still the court found Mr. Brandon not guilty and them that worthy arose with a sunny smile and swore out a warrant charging Houk with trespass away last June. Trial was had immediateljr and the fair defendant was found guilty and was fined. It was a disastrous day for the house of Houk. 'f
Tho Shower of 1833. '"f
The Crawfordsville Record of lsa^.,' edited by the late Isaac Wade, of tlhis city, contains the following account wf the meteoric shower of that year: "The most remarkable phenomenon we have ever witnessed made its ap-'y pearance on the morning of the 13th inatant, commencing, we are informed, at or near 2 o'clock, and continuing until daylight. It in some respect resembled the aurora borealis—corruscating with a brilliance as luminous, but not passing through the same process which is attributed to that phenomenon. "As far as our observation, and the information we have been able to collect, extends, we suppose the brilliant apparition to have proceeded from the same cause which originated meteors, or as they are termed, shooting stars aad on this occasion these wonders must have arisen from the same natur* al causes, unusually augmeuted. The scene presented was of the sublimest order scarcely a spot in the 'blue expanse' could be pointed out which WM not brilliantly illuminated with a profusion of these apparent fire balls. At the first glance, to discard all notiOM of astronomy, one might suppose (as many did) that the equilibrium of nature was destroyed, and the heavenly bodies were wandering uncertain amid, the ethereal blue. "In general, the meteors seemed to precipitate themselves toward the earth, yet many were seen flying in every direction, presenting a view most grand and magnificent. The phenomenon continued some three or four hours, producing in the minds of our citizens, sensations of every variety."
