Prof, Cyrns W. Knouff and Miss June Dorsey are Happily Married Monday in Tills City.

Monday at noon, at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Dorsey, on sou.h Green street, occurred the marriage oi' Prof. Cyrus W. Knouff, of Clarinda, Iowa, and Miss •Tune Dorsey. The home had been prettily decorated with vines, plantB, and evergreen for the ceremony, which was witnessed by only the immediate family and a few intimate friends. The marriage service was read by Rev. Henry L. Nave, of the First Presbyterian church, and was very impressive in its simplicity. The bride, who is a very pretty young lady, was becomingly gowned in a blue tailor made costume and carried bride's roses. At the conclusion of the ceremony a sumptuous wedding feast was served in the dining room, after which congratulations were extended, the bride being the recipient of many hanc'Bome gifts from her numerous friends. Mr. Knouff, who attended Wabash college for several years, is now principal of the Clarinda schools and is a young man of much promise. He haB taken as his bride one of Crawfordsville's fairest and most gracious young ladies, who is in every way fitted to make him a helpmate in ail that the word implies. The best wishes of their friends go with them.

Mr. and Mrs Knouff left on the afternoon train for Clarinda, where they will be at home after January 2

Immediately after the selection of the foregoing delegates and alternates the conventions will seperate into precinct meetings and select in each precinct a member of the county committee to serve for the ensuing two years. Upon the completion of this work by precincts the township conventions will re-convene, when the chairman and secretary of said convention, will issue, certificates of election to the precinct committeemen chosen in the precinct caucus and instruct said committeemen to meet in the smfll court room in Orawfordsville, on the following Monday, January 15, for the purpose of electing a chairman of the county committee. It will be necessary for each township to comply strictly with this call.

A BIG FOUR WRECK

An Ugly One, Hut Fortunately There Were No serious Casualties.

Monday afternoon shortly before 1 o'clock quite a serious little wreck occurred on the Big Four just the other side of Waynetown. The ea&t bound train composed of the baggage and three well filled passenger coaches was flying along at the rate of about thirty miles an hour and in passing over a switch the aBh pan of the engine dropped out on the track and threw all the cars off. They ran over the tie6 for about three hundred feet and then plunged into the shallow ditch at the road side. All tilted over on the side, but no cars were actually overturned. During the rough ride over the ties the passengers tquealt-u and cried and one or two women fainted. When the crash came all were bounced about, but it was soon ascertained that no one was badly hurt. The only man requiring aid was I. E Ball, foreman of the bicycle rim works of Plymouth, who was on the train enroute home from a visit in Farmer City, 111. His back was badly sprbined.

The damage to the company was in neighborhood of a thousand dollars, the cars bning badly damaged and the track woefully torp up. Some of the passengers hired conveyances at Waynetown and drove to Crawfordsviile to make connections for other poin's, but a majority awaited the evening train' which passed two hourslate over the temporarily repaired track, reaching Crawfordsville at 7 o'clock The west bouud train in the afternoon was obliged to go round over the Monon and Clover Leaf via Linden and Veedersburg,

Mr Ball, the only passenger at all injured, was brought to this city and taken to the Robbins house where he is now resting, the company's physician, Dr. Easminger, advising him to stay here until the extent of his it.jury can be clearly ascertained. Mr. Ball states that the company has been good to him and he greatly appreciates the kindness shown him by the railroad people from the moment he was hurt. He was sitting up on Monday and in a cheerful state of mind, although Buffering somewhat from a badly wrenched or sprained back. "I was Bitting in the middle coach talking to a young traveling man," said he, "when we felt the car leave the track. It was running along over the ties and I knew a crash had to come so 1 got up and took a firm hold of the seat in front of me. When we struck somehow I was thrown over this seat in front and struck on my back I'. didn't hurt at first and when I saw that no one was killed or badly injured I began to laugh and said to the traveling man that I guessed we were all right Then I started to get down off the seat and fell all in a heap. I couldn't get up and the traveling man called in some of the*train men They were mighty good to me and I have suffered lo lack of care or attention."

The baggage master, Mike Kelley, had his hand badly lacerated and wrist sprained. The express messenger's wrist was sprained and he was bruised about the body.

Virgil Merrit, who lives four miles east of Vt-edersburg, was on the train wnen it was wrecked. He said: "1 felt the car jerk. I was looking out of the window when I was thrown forward and the car stopped. I had to hold fast to the seats to keep from falling, as the car was badly tilted, then I got out as fast as I could

J«m»s McCoy, of Indianapolis, was also on the train and givee his exper ence: "I felt seasick, the ladies screamed and many turned white with fear.": :."

Uncle KnliRTt JoneH IIhk l'artakeu of No ^Nourishment, for Over a Mouth.

Uncle Robert Jones, the oldest colored citizen of Crawfordsville, both in avre and point of residence, is lying quite low at the homa of Mrs. Abbie McCrea and will never recover from his illness. Uncle Robert is now 00 years of age and his infirmities are due to old age. His remarkable vitality, however, is causing comment and his tenacity in holding onto life is a cause for wonder For a month he has been confined his bed and duri' this time he has partaken of no nourishment, refusing all that has been tendered him. He takes neither food nor drink, except a semi-occasional sip of water, and is apparently but little weaker than when first taken down. He seems most of the time to be conscious and suffers no pain. He is simply wearing slowly out and is hanging onto life rt-m&rkably.

Uncle Rubert has lived in Orawfordsville for over fifty years and is well and favorably known to all the older citizens of the place He was free born and a native of Ohio. He worked until within the last year and then went to Ouio to live with his daughter. ThiR proved not to his liking and he came back as far as ludianapolis, where he has a son living. He found no desirable home there, so Mrs McCrea brought him here to live out the -hort balance of his life. Uncle Robert or ce had considerable property, hut !o*t it all 11h claims to have operated and owned the first threshing machine ever in this county.

Saturday to let a number of contra ta for the improvement of various bridges over the county. There were several dders but before action was taken by the board all the bids were withdrawn. It seems that as the work would have to be done after January 1 it Is a question whether the county council would not first have to warrant the improvements. As there was a d/Ubt as to the legality of the contracts if awarded by the commissioners, it was deemed best to await the action of the council. After allowing a few ciaims the board adjturned.

PART SECOND

The Two Yuar Old Child of Fred I\IcDan

iel and Wife Fatally Injured.

Last Friday at 10 o'clock a. m. the two year old son of Fred McDaniel and wife was scalded terribly at their home on the corner of Grant avenus and North street. The child was in the kitchen with its mother, who was preparing to wash some clothes, and was playing about on the floor. Mrs. McDaniel placed a zinc washtub on ft low stool and into this poured a quantity of scalding water. She then left the room for a minute and in her absauce the child toddled up to the tub and reaching up, managed in some way to pull it over. The fiery contents was emptied over the child's head, breast, back and arms. With terrrible cries of agony it rolled on the floor and the agonized mother rushed to its relief. The neighbors hurried in and Dr. Niven was hastily called. He dressed the wounds but offered little hope of the child's recovery. H® thinks that the chances are all against it living as the burns are deep and many The little ono suffers greatly. Fred McDaniel, the father, is a son of

Policeman Joseph McDaniel.

An Insurance Decision.

The appellate court last week, in the case of James H. Clark, receiver of the Masonic Benevolent Association) against Frederick W. Schromeyer, decided several questions that are new to the courts of Indiana. The Masonic Benevolent Association was an "assessment" insurance comptnv, and Schromeyer was one of its policy holders When it failed the association owed death benefits to the amount of 8134,003 and had no assets in its treasury- The receiver levied an assessment on its policy holders to collect money for the payment of the death benefits, and when Schromeyer refused to pay his assessment, sued him The circuit court decided that he was not bound to pay. The appellate court affirmed thia decision, holding that ft receiver of an insurance company can not collect an assessment from one who has accepted a policy, but hfts ceased paying thereon.

Politics In the Ninth.

Indianapolis News: The Ninth district is usually among the first to get its politics agoing J. A, Hedgecock, joint representative from Tipton and Olinton counties, will be a Democratic candidate for secretary of state before the state convention, while for the congressional nomination there are three candidates, straight Democrats, not including "Joe" Cheedle. "Jim" Allen, of Covington, who will be reappointed to the head of the board of trustees for the blind institute, on New Year's day, and WUl Craig, editor of the Noblesville Ledger, are being named for delegates to the Philadelphia convention. "Sam" Ralston, of Lebanon, twice nominated for secretary of state by the Democrats, announces that he has had enough, but there is suspicion of his being willing to run for governor.

The Teacher .Sustained,

Superintendent Walkup haB concluded his investigation of the case of Miss liitta Chenault, the Brown township school teacher who chopped down the tchool house door when she was locked out by a gang of unrnlly kids. The teacher was sustained on every point and was instructed to suspend the first pupil that gets gay on her hands. The boy who acted as leader in the trouble is said to be bad and vicious. Once before this term he struck Miss Chenault in the face whec. she attempted to correct him for some fault.
