Surveyor Fulk and wife. Tuesday, j attended the funeral of the latter's Grandmother. Mrs. Julia Mosiman, of French township The deceased was buried in the Steele cemetery in Kirkland township. Mrs. Casper Heiman and son, | Joseph Heiman, left Sunday morning for Massillion, Ohio, to attend the funeral of Mrs. August Heiman, who died at her home in that city Saturday ; morning. Funeral was held Monday morning. The husband and seven small children are left to mourn the loss of a loving and faithful wife and mother. Teddy Brock, son of our well known hardware merchant, whois taking a course in mechanical engineering at Purdue University, spent Thanksgiving with his parents and other friends city. Teddy is a genius, a go<xl student and a model young man and we predict that he will climb to the highest round of the ladder of fame in his chosen work. The Rt. Rev. Bishop Rademacher, of the Fort Wayne (Catholic) diocese, has addressed a letter to Harry D. Darling, editor of the Catholic Record, Laporte, making formal denial of the report that a decree had been issued from Rome removing the ban placed on secret organizations with which Catholics are barred from membership because of religious restrictions. A letter has l>een received at this office signed “A Member of Co. B”, in which Captain Lenhart and Lieutenant Meyers are talked rather badly about, but as no name is signed we refrain from publishing the article. The letter insinuates that there is a great deal of discord and dissatisfaction in the company on account of unfair treatment at the hands of the officers to a number of the boys. The office of Augsburger & Co., grain merchants at Berne, was entered by burglars Monday night. The safe was blown open and about seven-ty-five dollars taken out. The exact amout taken however cannot be ascertained as it was not known exactly how much had been left there. A hundred dollars which was in an envelope was untouched. Blood hounds were taken tothe town from Bryant.but they failed to strike any trail. Home talent is suspected and the affair will be investigated farther. Another business change occurred in this city last Monday morning at which time Mr. John Mougey liecame the sole owner of the mammoth boot and shoe house formerly owned and operated by Mougey & Locke. The firm has been in business during the past year and by their hustling and aggresive methods have become known as one of the best shoe firms in this part of the state. Mr. Locke, however, desires to enter some other pursuit and has therefore retired. Mr. Mougey will continue to sell the best boots and shoes on earth at the old stand and at prices that are as reasonable as they always have been. John is one of Decatur’s brighest and most energetic young men and deserves the success which he insure to attain. Just what business Mr. Locke will go into we are unable to say at present, but we feel absolutelv sure of his ultimate success in any line he may choose. The Mougey shoe house will handle the same line of goods which has made the old firm famous and those who are looking for bargains can not fail seeing them before buying. Frank, the sixteen year old son of Levi Barkley, died at his home on Winchester street Tuesday morning at two o’clock. For more than a year Frank has been a sufferer from terrible pains in his head, which was finally found to be caused by a healing at the base of the brain. His condition was not considered serious until within the last few days. The physicians, how-ever, realized the conditions a few days ago and informed the parents who were loath to think that Frank could not recover. The healing being so near to the brain made it impossible to operate upon him and it was certain that when it broke, as it must, that concussion of the brain would follow, which would cause death within a few hours. He seemed about as well as usual until eleven o’clock Monday night when he suddenly grew worse. Nothing could done to relief his terrible suffering. a pd he sank radidly until about two o clock when he passed into the great beyond where he will no longer suffer, crank was an excellent boy, a favorite both at home and with his friends. He was a hard student but during the past year could not attend school on account of his hearing having been almost entirely destroyed. His parents and friends are grief stricken that his young life could not be spared and the sympathy of the community 'vith them. Funeral services will he held from the residence at ten ’clock tomorrow (Friday) morning, friends who desire to view the regains may do so from two to five > i ~ afternoon. Will Barkley, • ‘mother of the deceased; is a mem*r of company B, now located at Georgia. He was notified once and through the efforts of la Jor Miller was able to get a furand will be home this afternoon, aving left camp yesterday morning.

A ten pound l>oy made its appearance at the home of Frank Heiman’s about a week ago, and Frank is the happiest man in his neighborhood. Mother and baby are getting along nicely. ° ° Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Bremerkamp and Mr. and Mrs. E, X. Ehinger spent Thanksgiving at Rensalear with their sons, who are attending college at that place. They report the boys in good health and getting along nicely with their school work. The pumping station which is used to furnish gas for the Decatur people, was totally destroyed by fire last Friday morning. The station was located near Camden, in Jay county. Manager Bowers showed his hustling qualities, however, by making arrangements at once to build a temporary station, and the gas was never entirely shut off to the consumers here, although it was rather low for a day or so. On last Thursday evening Miss Anna and Gertie Merryman entertained a number of their friends in honor of Gertie’s fifteenth birthday. A merry time was had by all, games and tableaus were enjoyed until a late hour when refreshments were served and all repaired to their respective homes, wishing each other many more such good times and declaring Miss Gertie and Anna excellent entertainers. Guests from a distance were Mr. Dick and Miss Bessie Andrews of Monroe and Franklin Andrews of Washington. The following from the Kokomo Dispatch of yesterday shows that Mr. Brown is making good progress: T. B. Brown, a liveryman of Coffeen, Illinois, was in the city Monday with a team ot ponies stolen from him November 2, and which he had recovered after a chase of 700 miles He got the team at Willshire, Ohio, and the thief, John Leisure, was captured in Decatur, in this state. He is now on his way back to Montgomery county, Illinois. The thief passed through Kokomo with the rig, going east, Thanksgiving day. Liveryman Brown says the state of Illinois pays §IOO for the conviction of a horse thief and his county pays 5100 more, and it thus pays to hunt them down. Edward Miller, Major of the Third battailion, 160th Regiment of the Indiana Infantry, arrived in the city last Friday morning from Columbus, Ga., where he and the other members of the gallant fourth are now located. He is away on a ten days furlough and will leave for his return sometime to day. Major Miller left here as captain of companj- B, which office he had filled faithfully for several years. Within a few days after arriving at Camp Mount he was made acting major of the Third battailion and shortly afterwards received a commission He has performed his duties in a splendid manner and is spoken of well, both by the officers over him and the men under his command. He is probably the youngest major in the service and his’large circle of friends here are highly pleasxl with his success and wish him a continuance of the same. He says that the 160th is now under orders to move to Cuba and will probably leave within the next thirty days, unless the orders are countermanded. The Adams county boys are nearly all in good health and most of them are willing to go whereever sent. The members of the Decatur High School football team have been forgiven for any errors they may have made in previous games or for any hard fought battles they may have lost heretofore, for they have met and conquered the “buckey” boys from the high school at Van Wert. The game occurred upon the gridiron in Fronfield’s park last Thursday afternoon and was one of the prettiest and cleanest ever seen on the grounds. Play was called at two o’clock byReferee Shaffer, the ball was kicked off by France and the game was on. For five minutes the players on each side played earnestly and hard without much headway by either, when suddenly a Van Wert boy with a tasseled cap on and the football under his arm, jumped out from the mass of players and sped away down the field like a frightened deer. He had gone probably twenty-five yards when he was tackled by France, he broke awav, however, and down the held he went again with the rest of the p ayers after him, never stopping until he had landed the ball over the goa and scored five for Van Wert Goal was kicked and the score stood 6 to 0 in favor of the visitors. The ball was carried back to the center and play resumed, and within five minutes more Decatur had scored A™- In ‘he remaining fifteen minutes of the first half Decatur scored two more tou< h downsand kicked goal both times making the score 17 toOin favor of Decatur. In the next half Decatur sconsl six points by a touchdown and Xal kick, but it took the full twentyarc minutes to do it a " < ? th ? v clostxl, Decatur 23, Van Wert Twenty-five minute halves were the game was interesting ! throughout. Sheeter, of VanWert acted as umpire, and Shaffer as referee. The like professionals and well desen eu their success.

The handsome new organ for the St. Mary’s Catholic church arrived last Thursday afternoon. It was brought from Fort Wayne on four mammoth moving wagons and is now being placed in the church. Opening exercises in honor of the organ will be given December 20th. It has been announced that the Misses Keuchmann and Mr. Eugene Douglass will give an evening’s entertainment at the Methodist church at Geneva. Friday evening. These artists have appeared in this city several times and are among the favorites with concert lovers. The Keuchmann sisters are acknowledged masters in the art of music, while Mr. Douglass is one of the finest elocutionist which has ever appeared in this city. We are certain that the patrons of the Geneva entertainment will be highly pleased with their efforts. The Indianapolis News says: R. B. F. Peirce several days ago tendered his resignation as receiver of the Toledo, St. Louis & Kansas City railroad to Judge Taft, and Thursday he received word that his resgnation has been accepted and will date from the first of the month The resignation was due to the fact that the physician of Mr. Peirce told him that he could regain his health only by a rest and a cutting down of the work he has been doing. It is probable that he will go to California for about two months. He will remain as general manager of the Indiana, Decatur ana Western for the present. Mr. Peirce was appointed receiver of the Clover Leaf Jan. 22, 1895. His successor has not yet been named. The Decatur Dramatic Company played to large audiences last Thursday and Friday evenings and acquited themselves very creditably. They presented an English drama entitled, "The Ticket of Leave Man.” The play is a very difficult one to render but the club was equal to the occasion and each and every member did his part excellently. Those who took part in the play and their cast was as follows: Bob Brierly, a Lancashire lad, J. J. Bourk; James Dalton, alias Downy, alias The Tiger, Oswald Wemhoff; Hawkshaw, a Detective, Henry Thomas; Melter Moss, Thomas Haefling; Green Jones, F. H. Barthell Mr. Gibson, a Bill Broker, Henry Knapke; Sam Willoughby, Andrew Mylott; Maltby, Joe Parent; May Edwards, Miss Amelia Smith; Emily St. Evremond, Miss Mayme Terveer; Mrs. Willoughby, Miss Nettie Smith. The ladies especially did credit to themselves and promise to become famous in their work should they wish to continue. The play was a success both socially and financially, and the church will realize nearly §l5O after the expenses have been paid. This amount will go towards paying for the handsome new organ which is nowbeing placed in the St. Mary’s church. Prof. Fred Falk's Juvinile Orchestra furnished the music for the occasion and the boys did splendidly. Court proceedings can lie told in the following: Isabella Williams vs. Peter B. Manley, cause submitted to court for trial. State vs.' Pompey, cause dismissed and defendant discharged.

Brubaker, Mrs. Martha Wagoner, Mrs. Maggie Evens, Harry K. Town, Worden Wingle. Milton Majors, an old man who for many years has acted as weighmaster for the town of Willshire, met instant death in a horrible manner Tuesday noon. The east bound freight which left here about eleven o’clock was doing some sw-itchiug in the yards at Willshire. The engine, with several cars, was moving east a short distance from the depot, Majors, who was walking along the track until the train had passed him, then stepped on to the track and was following the train, when suddenly the engineer reversed the lever and began to back the train. Mr. Majors was not expecting the train to back up and did not notice it until too late. He was thrown down and the entire train passed over his body, mangling it to pieces. His remains were taken to the undertaking establishment where they w-ere prepared for burial. Funeral services were held yesterday. Mr. Majors was sixtythree years old and leaves a wife and numerous friends to mourn his untimely death. He was a member of the 47th Indiana regiment in the rebellion and had many friends here. John Laisure, who for several mcnths was a trusted employe in Bert Lynch’s factory at Coffeen, Illinois, is now branded as a horse thief and stands an excellent chance of serving several years in the Illinois state penitentiary. Several weeks ago Laisure and another employe of the Lynch factory concluded that they could make a living easier than doing the ordinary factory labor. They accordingly watched their opportunity and when a good chance presented itself stole a team of horses and a wagon. They succeeded in getting away with the outfit, but after being out a few days Laisure,s partner in the crime repented and going back to Coffeen gave himself up. Laisure came on through to Willshire, where he arrived about a week ago. He left the team there and came up here to visit his parents, w-ho resides in the west part of town. The officers here had been notified, however, and were on the lookout. They heard he was in the city and at once notified the Illinois officers who arrived here Saturday. Sheriff Erwin arrested Laisure Friday evening and placed him in jail and on Saturday evening the Illinois officers left for home with their man safely in custody. The outfit had been stolen from a man by the name of Brown, who came along with the officers. He succeeded in finding his property and left Sunday morning for the drive home. Laisure confessed to the crime and the chances are that he will get to serve several years for the state of Illinois. EdwaAd McLeod, one of the oldest citizens of Adams county and a pioneer of St. Mary’s township, was stricken with paralysis at the home of his daughter. Mrs. Janies N. Fristoe, on Mercer street, last Thursday morning. The family physician was called who did everything in his power for his relief, but to no avail, and he sank gradually until Monday morning at ..ine o’clock, when he died. Fath r Edward McLeod had been a resident of Adams county since 1846. He was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, April 24, 1813, and died at Decatur, Indiana, November 27, 1898, aged eighty-five years, seven months and three days. ’ In 1816 he removed with his parents to Kentucky, thence to Deleware county, Ohio, in 1818. In the fall of 1846 our subject came to Adams county and shortly afterward purchased a farm in St. Mary’s township, where he resided until a short time ago. He was married in 1835 to Miss Eliza Rose. To them were born seven children, five of whom are living as follows: Susan I. Jackson, St. Mary's township, Isaac R.. Del Norte, Colorado, Angenora B. Eicher, Warsaw, Indiana, John S., Altona, Indiana, and Eliza K. Fristoe of this city. Mrs. McLeod died in 1885, after having lived a long and useful Christian life. Father McLeod has served two terms as trustee of St. Mary’s township and has proved himself to be a useful, public spirited man. He has, by contribution and otherwise, assisted in building three churches in Decatur and three in Pleasant Mills. In December 1885 Mr. McLeod was united in marriage to Mrs. Diadem Davis of Troy, Ohio, who still survives him and who, with the children and many friends, mourn the loss of a glorious life. Mr. McLeod was an earnest member of the Baptist church, having united with that denomination in 1832. Funeral services were held at Pleasant Mills, Tuesday morning, conducted by Rev. G. W. Pearce, assisted by Rev. Duckett and Rev. Mygrant.

Jasper Pace, a young married man from Hartford township, now languishes in jail on the very serious charge of rape. The charge is brought by a fifteen year old girl named Cora I Sark. Pace was arrested last Thursday and taken before Squire OplingeF ! who bound him over to court in the sum of S6OO. Failing to give the re-! quired bond he was brought to this city Friday evening and lodged in jail. Pace is about twenty-six years old and has been married but a short time. He refuses to talk and conviction looks like a sure thing. J. E. Ellsworth, who lately withdrew from the firm of Ellsworth & Meyers, is now engaged in organizing a stock company for the purpose of starting a carriage and bicycle factory in this city. Arrangements have already been made with a number of out of town capitalists, who with Mr. Ellswprthjwill compose the company. The company will occupy the Ellsworth building on north Second street, now occupied by W. J. Meyers’ hardware store, and will manufacture first-class buggies, wagons and bicycles. They expect to open about February Ist and will run from ten to fifteen people to start with, and increase accordingly with their patronage. Several salesmen will be put on the road and the industry, which will be known as the J. E. Ellswwth company will no doubt be one of our leading ones. Mr. Ellsworth does not expect to secure stock from Decatur people, and only asks from them their patronage and good will. Such a concern as this should be welcomed by our citizens and helped along, as it may be the beginning of an industry which will be known all over the country. Harry Straub, a young son of Daniel Straub of this city, is in jail on a charge of theft. He has already confessed his guilt and will very probably spend eight years in the boys’ reformatory. On Thanksgiving morning Harry was sent to the shoe store of Kern, Brittson & Beeler on an errand by his mother. He hail to wait a few minutes until some work was done for him by the shoemaker. The clerks were all busy with theirworkand did not notice that Harry had noiselessly slipped into the office department of the store, where the safe stood open. Nevertheless this was true,and Harry, who has always borne a bad reputatation, and who it seems was looking for some money to celebrate the holiday with succeeded in getting a ten dollar bill in his pocket and geting away with it. The money belonged to C. L. Walters’ and when it was missed shortly afterwards young Straub was suspected. He kept himself hid until Monday morning when he was found and accused of the crime. He finally admitted that he had done the stealing and was handed over to Sheriff Erwin who landed him in jail, where he is nowconfined, awaiting his appearance before Judge Heller, who will no doubt send him to the reform school. The boy, although but thirteen years old, has been almost a criminal during the past five years, and has frequently been caught with other boys in the very act of stealing. It is hoped his comrades who have been as bad as he, will take warning and reform ’ere it is too late. A beautiful wedding occurred at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Wolford on North Fourth street Thanksgiving evening at six o’clock, at which time Prof. B. F. Kizer, of Linn Grove, and Miss Lizzie E. Wolford, of this city, were united in marriage. Rev. W. H. Daniel performed the ceremony, which was a beautiful and impressive one, occuring as it did on that day when the hearts of every one are overflowing with praises and thanks to the Great Creator. After the ceremony a bountiful supper was served and the large number of guests thoroughly enjoyed the occasion. Miss Wolford is the highly esteemed daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wolford, of this city, and has a large circle of friends all over the county. Mr. Kizer is the well known principal of the Linn Grove schools and is one of the county’s most talented young men. A reception was held at Linn Grove for the happy young couple Friday afternoon and evening. Many beautiful presents were received, among which were the following; Mr. and Mrs. Lyman Hart, lamp; Mr. and Mrs. Mont Evansand daughter,dinner set; Mr. and Mrs Frank Crai?, water set; Ruth Kizer, fruit and desert dishes; Mr. and Mrs. Silas Kizer, steel range; Kate White, sugar shell; Lydia Kizer, tea pot; Mrs. M.

Schadeweide, a farm laborer, was before Judge Baker Wednesday for violation of the postal law. He was playing Romeo to Miss Celeste Waxenfelter’s Juliet, near Fort Wayne. He suspected that some one else was writing to her and called for her mail, and, finding a it addressed to her from Roanoke, Ind., opened it, and for this he was indicted by the Federal grand jury. “If a young man is courting a girl,” said the court, “and is engaged to be married to her, it may palatiate his offense a little if he tries to find out whether she is writing to some other fellow, but he should not open letters addressed to her.

Gregg is taken from the Miami County Sentinel and will inter est many of our readers as the deceased is the father of Rev. Gregg so well known here: Aaron H. Gregg died Wednesday afternoon at 1:30 o’clock at his home No. 61 South Broadway, aged sixty-eight years, eight months and twelve days, the immediate cause of death being an injury he received Monday morning. He and his wife occupied rooms over Shuman’s grocery store, the building being a part of his possession. Monday morning, as usual, he started to descend the stairway which leads to the sidewalk, for a walk out in town. I When about half way down he fell and sustained a severe injury by striking his head on the hard pavement below-. On account of his age and ill health it was evident that he could not recover and he was in a semi-con-scious condition much of the time until his death two days later. He suffered two slight strokes of paralysis within the past, two years, which together with rheumatic troubles left him in quite a feeble condition, although he was able to lx* up and about nearly all the time. Mr. Gregg was a native of Kentucky, haying been bom in Bracken county, that state. March .11, 1830. In 1849 he came to Peru where he obtained a clerkship in a general store owned and operated by his uncle, John Harlan. Some time later he became a member of the firm. After a few years Mr. Harlan withdrew from the firm and the business was conducted under the firm name of Gregg & Co. Later Mr. Gregg became sole owner and continued in the dry goods business in the room nowoccupied by Shuman s grocery until forced to retire alxnit eighteen months ago on acount of failing health. He was united in marriage in this city in 1857 to Miss Martha Timberlake, to which union eight chilnren were born, three of whom are living. They are Rev. Edward T. Gregg, pastor of Grace M. E. church, Kokomo. Miss Grace Gregg, of this city, and Hiram Gregg, who is in business in Bellfontainc, Ohio. The mother of these children died some years ago and in 1892 Mr. Gregg was united in mari riage with Mrs. Naoma Bradley, who survives him. Mr. Gregg was a faithful member of the Methodist church,
