The fight occured Friday evening at Coney Island and was one of the fiercest battles ever fought, resulting in victoryjfor the American in the eleventh round. It is said to have been a wonderful showing of skill and endurance and Jefferies victory was well earned and his claim to the belt was well established. About thirty little girls gathered at the home of Miss Ada Drummond last Thursday afternoon and spent several happy hours in honor of the twelfth birthday of their hostess.

Willits, a business man of j Columbia City was in town Tuesday, j looking for a location for a noveltyand I book store. While here he made the 1 1 Democrat a call and we found him a very pleasant and genial gentleman. He has not fully determined whether or not he will locate in Decatur but the probabilities are that he will. A grand fourth of Julv celebration is being planed for this city and will include, bicycle races, ball games, parades, firejworks and every thing that goes to make a successful celebration ; of the greatest and most glorious of all American hollidays. Bills will soon be printed for the event and ful] ; particulars will be given next week. Make arrangements to celebrate the 1 fourth in Decatur. Mrs. F. M. Schirmeyer was quite ’ j badly burned by a gas explosion yes-' ’ terday noon. In some manner the I i valve had been turned and the gas | , | allowed to escape in the stove, and | when Mrs. Schirmeyer struck a j match to light the gas an explosion ' | followed. Her hair and eyebrows ’ were badly singed and her right hand severely burned. Although not considered dangerous, the burn is a very j ■ painful one and will require careful i | attention for several days. ’ County Attorney Lutz was at Indi- ’ anapolis Monday negotiating for litho- ’ graphed gravel road bonds, which ’ will lie used to secure the money for ‘ the construction of the Decatur and Monroe and east Washington town- ’ ship macadanized roads. The aggre-

gate amount of the bonds ot both roads is $50,322 which will bear four and one-half per cent, interest, payable semi-annually from May 15. The bonds are issued for a term of twenty years and will be sold to the higest and best bidder by Treasurer Neuenschwander at his office to-day. A series of concerts and temperance services have been arranged to be held in several of the churches in and near this city. Miss Jessie M. Garvin, bass and" soprano soloist, elocusionist and impersonator, and Master Paul Garvin, orator and soloist, have agreed to assist in the entertainments, which will no doubt be interesting and entertaining. The press of the country speak in the highest terms of these young people, who are devoting their lives and talent to the temperance work and large crowds will no doubt attend the services. Meetings have been arranged next Friday and Saturday evening at the Evangelical church, Sunday afternoon, union service, at the Court > house; Sunday evening at the Metho- > dist church; Monday evening at the Cavalry church, L mon township and Tuesday evening at Salem church, three miles east of the city. The i evening services will begin at 7:30 o - clock and the union meeting at 2.--30 o’clock. No admission fee will be charged but those so desiring may’ place a coin in the collection box at ■ the door. A horse belonging to James Hurst became unmanageable Monday after--1 noon and ran away, severely injuring 1 the owner and completely demolishing the spring wagon to which it was hitched. The rig was standing on , First street near the laundry, when i the safety steam valve blew off, which frightened the animal and before the i occupants knew what had happened, they had turned the corner of Monroe > and First street and had been thrown out along the south curbing. Ed Swigart and son, Hammond, werealso in the rig, but escaped with slight bruises. Mr. Hurst did not get off > so easy. His face was badly bruised, a cut which required several stitches ; was received over the right eye, his left shoulder was mashed and one of his legs severely sprained. He was taken to the office of Dr. P. B. Thomas. who dressed the wounds and he is ’ now getting along as well as possible. The horse after loosing the occupants tore down Monroe street at a terrific • u-ait In front of Knapke’s machine i shop he struck a large hay rake and boot the wheel almost double. Ihe > wagon was torn in two here, but the I steed kept right on until in front of J S Bowers & Co s hardware store. . where he struck a telegraph pole and ■ ! before he recovered from the shock was caught by Oscar Lanke- [ nau. The rig lielonged to A. Engle, . the butcherand was completely wreck- ■ ed. A number of tools, which were i in the wagon were scattered all along the road and Monroe street looked as ; though it had been visited by a Kansas cyclone.

DECATUR, INDIANA, THURSDAY, JUNE 15, 1899.

A new church is to be erected at the Backestoe cemetery in Monroe township. Several of the citizens of that neighborhood have who been soliciting money’ for this purpose have succeeded in securing a fair donation and the building will be started soon. Mr. and Mrs. Peter Mueller of Louisville, Ky„ spent Sunday in this city on their wedding tour and were entertained by B. J. Terveer and family. Mrs. Mueller, who was formerly Miss Evering is quite well known here, having visited the Terveer family several times. The Daughters of Rebekah were in their glory Tuesday evening, at which time Mrs. Joseph Harris was initiated into the order. The home lodge was assisted in conferring the degree by about twenty-five members of the Geneva lodge. A banquet was served after Sister Harris had been initiated and a general good time kept up until time for the visitors to leave. Levi Johnson will give his annual ice cream and fun social at his home, one mile east of Honduras, on the pike, Saturday evening, June 27. A big time, good music, fun and amusements galore, are anticipated and a big crowd will attend. Levi has been ! a promoter of these annual socials and . moonlight picnics for several years and knows just the kind of -amusements which suit the people.

The season for snake stories is ripe. J. XV. Vail and Wash Gilpin Monday came in contact with a reptile of this sort that was several rods long and as big as an elephant a young elephant. They held a consultation, brief but painfully interesting, and immediately issued a proclamation to the effect that snakes are snakes. They did not stop to argue the question with their new’ found friend. All this oceured and not a well of rippling water in sight. The following from last week’s I Spencerville Journal shows how our city is sized up by strangers: While waiting for a train in Decatur a fewdays ago we took advantage of our short wait and sized up the town. We are satisfied that no more enterprising town lies in the eastern tier of Indiana counties, which fact is clearly discernable to the visitor when he views the pretty residencesand pretty lawns lin the outlying districts. Aside from a large number of residences being built, we saw a handsome business block in course of contraction. To view the thrift of the town will prevent any queries as to the doubt of : success experienced by the papers in j that city. About twelve o’clock Friday night fire broke out in the summer kitchen of the house occupied by Harry Cordua on south Mercer street. The fire was under considerable headway when discovered and before help could arrive the flames had almost consumed the kitchen and had spread to the main part of the house. The family were taken across the street to the home of Mr and Mrs. Ed. Beeler, and Mr. Cordua with four or five volunteers then entered the house and moved such furniture as it was thought would be reached either by the fire or water. In this manner, not a great deal of damage was done to the contents, excepting the carpets, which were ruined by water. The firemen did good work and easily got the flames under control, not however until they had almost completely 1 ruined the building. The propertv belonged to Henry Hite, who it seems is receiving more than his share of losses by the fire demon, having suffered from three or four conflagrations during the past four years. The loss is probably S3OO, fully covered bv insurance.

Mrs. John S. Colchin was thirtv-six years old last Monday, while Mrs. Frank Crawford was just a year older and in honor of the eventful day a number of their friends and neighbors planned a surprise upon them. Accordingly, just after dark that e\ enintT. twenty-five ladies, with stealthly step and well filled baskets made their wav to the home of Mrs. Crawford. whom they ambushed and surprized completely. After some time had been spent there the captain of the band ordered Mrs. Crawford to fall in line and the party moved to the home of Mrs. Coledin, whom they succeeded in surprising in as complete a manner as their former victim. The evening was spent in having a general good time and celebration over the double anniversary. Refreshments, consisting of all the delicacies of the season, were served and the event made a fitting one for such an occasion. Those who participated were Mesdames J. K. Niblick, D. D. Clark. Fred Falk, H. F. Costello. Dan Niblick, E. X. Ehinger, Barney Memhoff. Fred Schafer, John H. Lenhart. H. H. Bremerkamp. U. Deininger. C. P. Ehinger. J. B. Meibers, Chris Meyers Daniel Donovan, Mrs. McLain, O. Snellen, Henry Schulte, D. Schmitt, X Kohne, J. H. Bremerkamp, C. A . Connell and Miss Estella Wemhoff. The occasion was one of those glorious ones that this crowd of ladies are famous for. and the Democrat joins heartily with their friends in wishing that both Mrs. Colchin and Mrs. Crawford may have many more such surprises.

Pearl Cutting, who was a member of the 160th Indiana regiment during i. the late trouble with Spain and who 1 went to Chicago several weeks ago 1 has secured a lucrative position in i Reed & Murdock’s wholesale grocery 1 house, of that city. His many friends 1 he>re will be glad to hear of his sue- t cess. s The morning train east on the Clover Leaf railway has changed time ; and now leaves at 5:34 instead of 5:51 < as heretofore; while the west bound 1 train has been changed from 4:14 to ; 4:10. While these changes are slight, I they are sufficient to cause one to 1 miss his trains, should he not be ; aware of the changes. < Two prominent young men of ] Bluffton are soon to throw off single blessedness and assume the armor of ’ the benedict. It is announced that on the evening of June 20, Mr. Chas. : Daily will wed Miss Daisv Miller of ; Bloomington and on the following : evening Mr. Will Barr will lead to the alter Miss Madge Walling, of Muncie. Both gentlemen are well 1 known here and their many friends wish them happiness and success, and lots of it. At the commencement exercises of the Wesleyn University, Deleware. Ohio, June 18 to June 21, invitations for which have been received here, Miss Mena Meyers, a popular Decatur young lady will make her debut, having completed the four years course necessary to receive a diploma from that institution. Miss Meyers has accepted a position as Latin instructor of the Decatur high school and will no doubt make a valuable teacher in that department. The annual memorial services of the Knights of Phythias lodge of this city were held last Sunday afternoon. During the morning a committee decorated the graves of departed brothers who had been laid to rest in the old cemetary. At 2:00 o’clock at their hall services consisting of music by various members and appropriate addresses by Rev. W. H. Mygrant and Rev. E. W. Kruse were given, after which the members drove to Maplewood cemetary where the graves of brothers who had entered the Grand Lodge above were decorated with flowers. The services were very impressive and served to refresh memories of members who have gone to their reward. . Three of the county council appointed by Judge Heller either failed or refused" to qualify and in accordance with the provisions of the law the clerk, and auditor and treasurer filled the vacancies. They appointed Henry Judd for the first district, in place ot Frederick Peck, Peter Soldner at large in place of H. S. Michaud, ■ Henrv Morrow at large in place of L. L. Dunbar. According to the reform i act the appointments made by this power, shall qualify within five days 1 and failing therein, other appoint- > ments shall be made until all the > positions are filled. Since the above , was written two of the three appointees failed to qualify, which fact called for [ another session of the clerk, auditor : and treasurer, which was held yester- • dav morning. In the place of Henry : Judd of the first district. Henry Jackson was appointed, and in the place 1 of Henry Morrow, George XX . Gentis 1 was appointed. Peter Soldner quali- > fled, being the only one of the three. • If they all stick "the board will be composed of Henry Jackson for the • first district, John ‘Woy second dis- ; trict, Andrew XV. Holmes third district, Andrew G. Briggs fourth dis- • trict Frederick J. Freeh, Peter Soldner and George XX’. Gentis. For some time James Coverdale has been suffering from some sort of a tumor on his back, and on Tuesday : he had it removed. The operation was rather painful and in order to • deaden the pain Jim took several : drinks of whiskey. This made him ; bad and he began'looking for trouble. . After scouring about town for a while he finally stopped at Adolph Hart s • barber shop and began abusing Hart ■ on an old score. The latter did not seem to be in a fighting mood and - Jim finally gave up trying to get ( licked there. Just as he was leaving, ' however, he threw a chair through the i south window of the shop. He then > proceeded south as far as Bailey's • millinary store, where he picked up ■ the O. K. restaurant sign and hurled it through the large plate glass wiut dow. He seemed to be crazy and 1 tried to break several more windows, but was prevented from doing so. ■ Several children were playing in front [ of Dr. Miller’s home and Coverdale 1 was just about to strike one of them I when a plumber known about here as . “Pipes’’ happened along and gave him 1 several upper cuts which seemed to quiet him. He appeared on the street , again during the evening and was locked up by Marshal Hart for public - intoxication." Yesterday morning he . was arraigned before Judge Heller , charged with malicious trespass. His case was continued until the next ' term of court and his bond fixed at 3 $250, which amount he was unable to 5 give and he was taken to jail. In an 5 interview yesterday he said he was ' senseless from pain and the liquor lie . had drank, and seemed much suri ! prised when told that he had made | any trouble.

Dick France is at home from Ann i Arbor to spend his summer vacation. ; having satisfactorily completed his his first year in the medical department of that celebrated college. Dick has developed into quite a base ball pitcher and will prove a big help to i the Creams which team he l as already I signed with. Rev. XV. E. Adams, who for two years past has had the Christian j charge in this city, has tendered his | resignation and accepted the charge at Ada, Ohio. While Rev. Adams has been coming to our city, he has made many friends who regret to see him go. but still are glad to hear of his success. He is a forcible and able minister who will do good wherever he may be sent, and the city to which he is going may well be proud of him. A down east editor has drawn up some new’ game laws which he wants adopted. The following is a summary: “Book agents may be killed from October 1 to September 1; spring poets, from March Ito June 1: scandalmongers, from April 1 to February 1; umbrella borrowers, from August Ito November 1 and February 1 to May 1; while every man who accepts a newspaper two years and upon being presentefl with his bill, says, ‘I never ordered it!’may be killed on the spot without reserve.” And now the President of the Home Bachelor Club. John A. Fetzer, has forsaken his old standbys, broken all vows, thrown aside all scrupples and taken unto himself a wife. Mrs. Della F. Evans is the happy bride and the event was solemnized Monday morning at the German Reformed parsonage by Rev. E. XV. Kruse. The wedding was a quiet one and Mr. and Mrs. Fetzer are already “at home” on North Tenth street. The bride has been a resident of this city for several vears and is quite well known, while the groom, who has been proprietor of Jthe Monroe street bicycle store here for some time is one of the city’s most popular business men and we heartily join with the host of friends in wishing them many long years of happiness.

Place’s Creams defeated the Celina, Ohio, team in two well played games Tuesday and Wednesday. The first resulted in a score of fifteen to two and although rather one sided was interesting on account ot many bril liant plays, among which were several phenominal catches bv Reynold sand Peterson and the batting of the entire team. Tom Quinn of Fort Wayne, did the pitching for the home team and but four hits were made. Yesterday’s game closed with a score of eight to one. For six innings neither side scored. Then Celina made one lonely run. the only one they were able to land during the game. The Creams were shut out until the eighth inning, when with a grand rally, during which a home run. a three-baser and any number of singles were made, eight scores crossed the plate. Dick France, who did the twirling, was very effective, allowing but one hit and striking out twelve men. McCall Decatur’s brilliant second baseman. won the hearts of every “rooter” and secured several “tips” by sending the ball almost to the river for four bases. The finish was a grand one and the fans were satisfied, although a little frightened for a while. Circuit court proceedings for a week past are Isabella Williams vs Peter B. Manley et al, findings were that plaintiff is entitled to life estate in real esstate described, and the owner in fee simple of other real estate described. Joseph H. Brown vs Earnest XV.

“ The Ladies’ Mite society of the M. ; E. church gave a pleasant afternoon social at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Dibble on First street last Friday’ afternoon. An interesting musical program was rendered in which a numi ber of Decatur’s gifted artists took I part, each andevery one acquitting i themselves admirably. The closing I selection was given by little Margaret 1 Bell, who charmed her audience by I singingthebeautiful and popular solo, I “Just as the Sun Went Down.” Miss Margarethas a sweet voice, and is destined tobecome a talented singer. Refreshments were served and the afternoon well spent.

Invitations are out announcing the fifth annual commencement exercises of the St. Joseph’s High School of this city, to be held at Bosse’s opera house Tuesday evening, June 27,1899. On that evening four young ladies and one gentleman will take part in the services which closes their high school life, and thereby launches them upon the busy world, Those who will graduate and the subjects of their essays are as follows: Salutatory and “Heaven our Home,” Miss Rose Geary; “Beauties of Nature,” Miss Bertlia Johns; “Language,” Miss Rose Center; “Tragedy,” Miss May C. Niblick; “Abraham Lincoln,” and Valedictory, Master Frank Wemhoff. All are well known young people and their friends hope that the future may be as bright as the outlook and as happy as their school days have been. A half-cracked manager and a bunch of the poorest ball players that ever happened arrived from Columbia City last Thursday and were given a drubbing by Place’s Creams that they will not soon forget. It was the first shut out of ths season and while there never was any doubt as to the result of the game, Pitcher Reynolds and his staff of supporters kept right on playing the game, much to the satisfaction of the fans, while the visitors disgusted every one by giving up and playing like school boys. The game resulted in a score of 28 to 0, being entirely too one-sided to be interesting, although brilliant plays were made on every occasion by the home boys. Reynolds and Cole formed the battery as usual for the Creams, while Quinn and Fitzpatrick did the work for Columbia City, until tne fifth inning, when they were replaced by a new battery. Messrs. Quinn and Fitzpatrick are Fort Wayne boys, and were with the Stars here Sunday. They are ball players and gentlemen, and it was through no fault of theirs that the game was dull. During the five innings in which they formed the battery, but three hits were made, but the support was such that fifteen Creams had already crossed the plate. After the game, the pumpkin head who called himself manager, with three or four of the players made an endeavor to drown their sorrow by a life size jag and succeeded in disgusting every one who met them.

The first Sunday base ball game of the season was played at Zimmerman’s park last Sunday between the Fort Wayne Stars and Place’s Creams, resulting’in a victory for the latter by a score of nine to four. Fully five hundred people were present, but none of the “rooting” and noise which usually is a feature of the national game was prevalent, not even any coaching being allowed. In fact the order was perfect and no _ one could possibly have any complaint on that score. The Stars are the strongest amateur team of Fort Wayne, and the fact that the Creams defeated them places the home team at the top notch of independent clubs of the state. The game was called at 3 o clock with Quinn and Staub and Reynolds and Cole as opposing batteries. In the first inning three-base hits by Kickley and Collars and a single by Hayes netted two runs for the visitors, while the home boys went out in one, two, three order. ' During the next two innings neither side scorer!, and it began to look rather dubious for Place’s famous leaguers. In the fourth, however, they struck their gait and a bunch of pretty hits brought four tallies over the plate and made the silent fans in the grand stand fairly chew the air for joy. In the fifth inning three more red stockings crossed the pan and yelled to “Lase” Meibers for credit, and in both the sixth and seventh rounds one man was sent around the diamond, making a total of nine runs. The visitors did not score again until the seventh inning, when by a basket full of errors bv Burgess, France and Taylor in which the ball was juggled all over the ten acre field two more runs were added to their list. This completed their allottment and added another victory to the Creams. Features of the game were the batting of McCall and Collars, the stealing of the plate bv Taylor and Reynolds’ pitching. The latter displayed his nerve by 1 pitching two innings with a badlv I cripled thumb, during which time not a hit was made. The visitors were I a gentlemanly set of fellows, and their ! actions while in the city were highly ; approved by our citizens, and along ! with their courteous manner they are ! ball players and the game was a clean ' and brilliant exhibit of the national sport.
