CHILDISH GLEE.

Master Charles Marksbury and Miss Mary Hamilton Experiment With a Loaded Shell With Disastrous

Results.

Last Saturday Master George Marksbury, who lives with his aunt, Mrs. John Snyder, near the fair grounds, went out to play with little Mary Hamilton, daughter of Jeff Hamilton. The children went over into the fair grounds and one of them produced a gun shell loaded with bird shot. They fingered it awhile and wondered if it would go off. Master George thought it would be great sport to point the "shoot end" toward the ground and hammer on the cap with a hammer, making the thing go off. This was tried and after a few sturdy whacks the shell did go off. The charge didn't go into the ground, however, as was anticipated but was impartially disseminated over the neigborhood. Mary and George received their share full in the face, and their cries of fright and pain soon drew their startled relatives to the scene. The children were picked up and taken home, Drs. Ensminger and Cowan being hastily summonded. By some blessed chance both children escaped serious injury and neither of them had their eyes injured. The boy had shot in his lips and the little girl was more badly peppered. Shot were extracted from her chin, cheeks, nose, and forehead, five Bhot being taken from her nose alone.

VOL. 54—NO. 24 CRAWFORDSVILLE. INDIANA, FRIDAY JUNE 14. 1901-TWELVE PAGES FART SECOND

At first it was reported that the children had been shot by some careless or malicious individual with a shot gun and the police hurried to the fair grounds intent on capturing the guilty party. No one was found who had seep anybody about with a gun, however, and when the children recovered from their fright they told how the accident' really happened.

Crawfordsville Man Married. Jeffersonville Democrat: Miss Orphelia Read Diffenderfer, granddaughter of Mr. S. B. Diffenderfer, of this city, and eldest daughter of Mr. Kin. P. Diffenderfer, of Cambridge City, who is a veteran engineer on the P. C. C. & St. L., was married this morning at 8 o'clock to Mr. Charles Rigin, of Crawfordsville. The marriage was a quiet home affair, only the immediate relatives being present and after the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Rigin left for Crawfordsville where they will make their future home.

Mrs. Rigin. is a native of this city and attended the schools here until her father's business made it necessary to locate at Cambridge City. She is a most lovable young woman, remarkably pretty, lady like and the idol of her father. Her husband is a worthy young man and has a lucrative clerical position at the Watson cresting works in Crawfordsville, where he is admired by a large circle of friends.

No relatives from this city were present on account of there being only a formal service, followed immediately by Mr. and Mrs. Rigin's departure for Crawfordsville. Several congratulatory telegrams were forwarded, however, this morning. Mrs. Rigin has many acquaintances here.

A SAD SISTER.

She Intends to Make Trouble For the Official Board of the A. M. E. Church.

Reeves & Jones, as attorneys for SylvestaFaulkner,Saturday filed a damage suit against Zach Williams, Rev. M. V. Saunders, Joseph Russell, Margaret A. Tiester, Amelia Jackson, Lucy Patterson, Abbie McCrea, Ida Smith, William Jordan, and Irene Keen, stewards and stewardesses of the A. M. E. church. Damage in the sum of $2,000 and all proper relief is asked.

The complaint sets up a story which, if true, will make trouble for the defendants. Mrs. Faulkner, formerly Jackson, alleges that four years ago she joined the church and always thereafter conducted herself as a good and consistent member. After serving in the local vineyard for a while she went away from town, but after a few months' stay returned again and was welcomed back into the fold on Apg}l 2, 1900. She enjoyed all the privileges and was allowed to vote, commune, receive the hand of fellowship, and, incidentally, to contribute. In fact, the complaint holds out the inference that contributing was no mean part of her church service. It alleges that she was given receipts for her dues signed by the pastor and crediting "Sister Jackson, member," with the amounts received. The last of these receipts is dated January 13, 1901.

The complaint further sets up that along in March and April the plaintiff had occasion to feel that Zach Williams was not acting toward her as a true believer or as a faithful follower of the doctrine and discipline of the A. M. E. church. It is charged that he defrauded the plaintiff and that he acted in other ways unlike the true Christian brother she had theretofore thought him. Pained and saddened the plaintiff sought out her pastor, the Rev. Melkiah Saunders, and told him of the alleged sinful errors of Brother Zach. She asked what steps she could take to have him churched, and Rev. Saunders explained the usual method of procedure, the plaintiff departing in tle blessed assurance that she would soon have Zachariah sizzling on the disciplinary frying pan. Soothed and comforted by the blissful thought she laid down to dream of the excommuni cated Zach dying unabsolved and being hustled off by the accomplished adversary of souls to the hot and smoky regions of the damned. "If dreams came true" all this might have been, but while she softly slept and sweetly dreamed, Brother Zach had it tipped off to him that the grass was on lire and he lost no time in getting out his plow to run the safety furrow. The complaint alleges that when Brother Zach heard what was on he used his in fluence and formed a conspiracy with the other members of the official board and had a special meeting called on

April 15. At this meeting, it is al leged, the plaintiff, who had received no notice whatever, was expelled from the church. No written charges were filed against her and she was given no opportunity to make a defense. Of course, when once out she could not proceed against brother Zach, and he had the laugh on his side. The complaint states that the plaintiff has suffered unutterable things by reason of the disgrace put upon her and the deprivation of the church privileges of the sanctuary, "especially the loss of the social and common rites and experiences." She has suffered great mental worry, at times bordering on frenzy, and has been so depressed that a great portion of the time she has been unable to follow her usual vocation of housekeeper. She has suffered greatly from insomnia, and has also sustained a complete loss of appetite, which, before her trouble, was good. The plaintiff alleges that she was a sincere believer in the tenets of the church from which she was expelled contrary to the discipline, and that the privileges accorded her were highly prized and beyond her power to estimate or compare in corresponding terms. However, two thousand flunks will be acceptable.

Her Troubles are Over.

Judge West made Mary Thompson a happy woman last Friday by granting her an absolute divorce with passementerie trimmings from Andrew Jackson Thompson, described in the complaint as a drunken, shiftless, no account old wreck. Andrew Jackson was not present to catch the bouquets thrown at his character, which, by the way, will have to be fumigated and disinfected for several weeks before it will pass muster even in bar room scciciy.

It shows that more counties reported this time than in April, and that the weather of the last month has not been by any means favorable to the growing crop of corn Neither has it been the best for the fruit crop. If good weather prevails throughout this month, however, there is little harm to be expected from the recent cold snap The indications are goodj for a big crop of timothy and clover and wheat also promises a large increase over the crop of last year, even though the acreage this year is less.

On the wheat conditions seventy-four counties reported, indicating a yield of 84.5 per cent., with 100 as the basis of an average yield. In April the yield was indicated at 70 per cent. On oats conditions seventy-five counties report ed, showing a yield estimated at 71.4 per cent, against 80 per cent, in April.

Indianapolis Sentinel-. An effort is being made by the Illinois senators and congressmen to have the headquarters of the middle division of the rural free delivery system removed from this city to Chicago. This is taken as an indication that an effort is being made to secure the removal of Frank M. Dice as superintendent of the division and the appointment of Cha rles Lynn, of Chicago, who, it is said, is after the place.

Such an attempt will be fought by Senator Fairbanks and some of the Indiana congressmen and already several letters have been sent to Washington regarding the matter. Just what object there could be in removing the headquarters of the division is not clear as the mail and railroad facilities of Indianapolis are equal to those of Chicago. It is believed, however, that the contemplated change is a move for the purpose of working Lynn into Mr. Dice's position.

Mr. Dice, when asked about the matter yesterday, said the proposed change first came to light about a week ago. He said he had received no information from Washington regarding the mattar and was not in a position to talk about it.
