The ball club will g o to Celma nest c.llav. where they are scheduled tor f“ a me with the Maroons. A large crowd will attend from here. The many friends of Mrs. Peter Heiman will be glad to know that "he is recovering from her recent ill;“ss. and will soon be well again. The illuminated bicycle parade to given in this city on the evening of hifv 4th will lie the grandest thing of i he'kind ever seen in the city. Every wheel in the county is expected to join in the long line. The Ladies Shakespeare Club will hold a picnic in Steele’s Park this afternoon, to which only the husbands are invited. The affair takes the place of the annual banquet and promises to be an enjoyable affair. The German Lutheran church at Preble will give their annual picnic in the crove one-half mile north of Preble, on Sunday next. These events are always looked forward to with considerable interest by the members of that congregation. A surprise party was given Tuesday night in honor of the fifth wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Niblick and of the birthday of Mrs. Charles P. Ehiuger. The affair which was a masquerade was held at the home of the latter. Fun and amusement were galore. Lizzie Ault vs Catherine Ault was the tittle of a case which was before Mayor Beatty Tuesday afternoon. The plaintiff claims that a hat valued at two dollars had been destroyed by the defendant and she asks damages for that amount. A change of venne was taken to Berne and the case set for next Monday. Robert B. Allison is at Cincinnati, where he went last Tuesday for the purpose of having his eyes examined by a specialist of that city. For some time Uncle Robert has been having serious trouble with his right eye and it is feared he may lose his sight, unless an operation will save it, and it is for this purpose that he has made the present trip. The Huntington base ball team went to Decatur Sunday and played with the •‘real things" in Decatur s team, ‘‘Places Creams.” Ford was in the box for Huntington and Reynolds for Decatur. The score was eleven to four in favor of Decatur. The Huntington boys have no room to kick for they were up against good ball players.—Huntington News Democrat.

Pearl G. Major, through her attorney L. C. Devoss, has begun action in the circuit court against Herbert F. Majors, who is charged with fraudulent marriage or rather desertion. The complaint states that they were married December 24,1898, and there- . after the defendant failed to provide for her, treated her in a cruel and inhuman manner and afterwards deserted her without cause. The defendant secured Attorney E. C. Coffee as counsel, who last evening expected to get bond for his client. The case will not be heard until the September term.

The annual convention of the Epworth League, Fort Wayne district, was held at Geneva, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, and was a most successful meeting. The program was interesting and the meetings were attended by large crowds from the various towns in the district. Mrs. J. D. Halo and Mrs. Emma Daniel of this city, and Rev. Gross of Cincinnati, who is well known here, took prominent parts in the exercises. Mrs. Hale had charge of the Junior department at yesterday afternoon’s meeting, while’ in the evening, Mrs. Daniel led in devotional services. Among others who are known here and who took part in the services were Miss Nellie Mason, Bluffton. Miss Bertha Fry, Hoagland, F. W. Johnson, Monroeville, Rev. \\. D. Parr, Fort Wayne, and others. The meetings were interesting and inspiring and Geneva is said to have entertained her visitors in an admirable manner. Frank G. Christen and Miss Ethel King were married at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. John T. France on Winchester street, last evening at eight o’clock. Rev. H. C. Duckett, of the Presbyterian church performed the ceremony, in the midst of only the immediate relatives and friends. Dick France acted as groomsman and Miss Dollie Christen as bridesmaid. The wedding march was played by Miss Lizzie Peterson. The ceremony was a simple though delightful affair, and the happy couple received a number of beautiful presents. The bride is an accomplished lady, having been known as one Decatur's most charming singers for several years; while the groom, who is the senior member of the City News company, is a hustling young man who deserves unlimited success, and the Democrat joins with the vast number of friends in extending congratulations and good wishes to himself and bride. Mr. and Mrs. Christen left at midnight lor Huntington and other Indiana towns where they will spend several days. They will return home the first of next week and will reside for a time with the groom’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Godfrey Christen, on Adams street.

A fire at Myers saw mfll in the north part of town Tuesday evening created some excitement, but was extinguished before the fire company arrived. Wilbur Besser and family left yesterday for Hammond, Indiana, where he has already shipped his household goods and where he expects to make his future home. His sons, Monroe and Oscar, have lived there for some time. Mr. and Mrs. James N. Fristoe and son True left last Saturday for Winona Lake, where they will spend the summer at their cottage. Earle has accepted a position with an electric | | supply company at Ellwood and will , leave in a few days for that place. Several Decatur young ladies were ! royally entertained at the home of Fredrick Roop, near Willshire last Sunday. The party was composed of Miss Kittie Christen, Emma Jackson, Jessie McLain, Bertha Sellmeyer, Lena Barthel, Hattie Wertzberger, Lena Johnson and Amelia Smith. Last weeks Portland Sun contained the following: Hon. R. K. Irwin, of Decatur, delivered the memorial address before the Red Cross Lodge K. of P. Wednesday night. He was at his best and acquitted himself most creditably and to the satisfaction of all. After his speech the ranks were conferred on Harry B. Sees, a traveling man from Syracruse, N. Y. At the home of Widow Strickler, near Willshire, on Saturday evening, June IT, Miss Pearl Strickler and Mr. Charles E. Beam were united in holy wedlock by Rev. H. Kohn in the presence ot quite a number of relatives and invited guests. Many valuable presents were received and a good time enjoyed by all. May their journey be long and happy. Ed S. Moses, a well known farmer 1 of Root township, has purchased an interest in the John Pfeiffer grocery store at Fort Wayne. The store is located at the corner of Beery and 1 Harrison streets, and is one of the ! oldest and best in the city. Mr. Moses has been a lifelong citizen of Adams county and while we regret to loose him as a citizen we wish him all kinds of success in his new field. The Old Adams County Bank is much improved in appearance and convenience since its remodelization. Much more room is given the employes for the transaction of the large volume of business done by this institution, 1 to say nothing of what it gains in appearance. The officials at the bank smile and look supremely happy when i you mention that they look nice, so . we presume they enjoy their new surroundings to the fullest extent of the . law. The law office of J. T. Merrv- > man on the second floor is also l)eing touched up by the flowery hand of > the painter.

At a special meeting of the commissioners Saturday, the first contracts under the new reform law were awarded. Bids were received for supplies for the county asylum for the present quarter. Those who were successful were Kern.Brittson A Beeler who were allotted the boots, shoes and clothing; Niblick A Co., coal oil and groceries; Boston Store dry goods and tobaccos. The bidding was close and spirited. Gravel road superintendents were also appointed in the names of John W. Mvers for the east XX ashington road, Thomas Baltzell for the south half and XXilliam Darweehter for the north half of tlie west XX’ashiugton gravel roads. Bond in the sum of $5,000 for the faithful performance of the duties involved, were filed by each appointee. Bids were also opened for the repair of the state line road. The bids filed were E. XX’oods A Co., $547, Calvin Miller $5lB, XV. R. Dorwin $535, and Eli Merriman $499. The latter was awarded the contract.

A human skull was found near Monmouth last week and has created no small amount of talk. Every old citizen in that neighborhood has been asked for a probable theory. Some think it part of the remains of some famous Indian chief, who many years ago may have fallen in battle or died of disease in the camp which was located in that section of the then “wild and wooly west”. Others tell of a number of crimes committed near the Root township capitol within the past century and among others which seems believed by many is the story of a gentleman who traveled through the country selling goods for a Cincinnati wholesale house. About twenty years ago he came to Monmouth and stopped over uisht with a family whose reputation was not considered the best by any means. During the uiorht passers-bv board a souffle on the inside and shortly afterward something resembling a human form was carried out and buried along a creek near the town. The stranger who had considerable money with him was never heard of afterwards. His house advertised for him and traced him to this couutv and an investigation was instituted, no arrests followed however and the matter was finally dropped. The family who were susixvted of knowing of the deed are saicf to live in this city at present and bv many it is believed they might explain something of the strange find of last week.

DECATUR, INDIANA, THURSDAY, JUXE 22. 1899.

Instead of making SB,OOO out of their carnival it is probable that the Muucie Elks will lose money. The attendance from the surrounding towns was slight and the total admissions to the carnival were less than 30,000. Muucie itself should have contributed more than this. Hotel keepers all over the country are complaining of a loss of business owing to the reduced custom of the “drummers.” It is estimated that 73000 drummers have been thrown out of employment on account of the formation of trusts. Hotels and railroads are great sufferers, but the drummer is the greatest. A Fourth of July celebration will be held at Dorwin’s grove north of Monmouth by the Methodist church of Hoagland. Rev. Cissel of Fort Wayne and Rev. Daniels and Miss Hattie Studabaker, of this city are on the program for interesting lectures and talks. Every Sunday school in the county has been invited and no doubt a great time will be had. Mr. J. J. M. LaFollette, the United States district attorney, was at the Aveliue yesterday. He came here to prosecute the case against Mr. Richard Klein in the federal court. He leaves this morning for Portland, where he will look after private business. He then goes to Muncie to look after a case involving a bold defiance of the internal revenue law. —Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. A clever American woman has thought of a novel way of making a living. She goes from house to house I and offers her services as a cleaner of lamps and chimneys, and it is astonishing what a nice little income she manages to earn by it. All she requires is a kettle of hot water; a bowl and the necessary oil; a roll of soft liueu cloths, a chamois and soap are the three things she carries about with her. Scores of people are only too thankful to employ her. Saturday was the last day for payj ing of the dog tax as required by law. This year the assessors on their rounds' collected the biggest part of the taxes due on canines, but as is always thecase,there is a goodly number of delinquents in almost every township. It is the duty of the township trustees to turn over to the prosecutor next week the names of all persons who have failed to pay the tax in question, and it is the duty of the prosecutor to enforce the law. In some of the counties of the state less than half of the dog tax due has been collected, and prosecutions without number will result . A meeting of the Cycliug club was | held at the News Stand Tuesday for the purpose of appointing proper I committees to look after the races and illuminated parade to be given here I July 4th. Three races, consisting of a five and one mile road race and a sprint for boys over the brick street I were decided" upon. The races will j all be given right in the city and will [no doubt be quite interesting as a | number of good prizes will be given. J The illuminated parade which will | take place in the evening will also be | a grand display and every wheel in the i county is desired in the procession. ! all owners of wheels who will enter j are requested to leave their name at the city News Stand. Committees : were appointed as follows: Races. | George Muddy. Roy Archbold and Charles Bell; On Parade, Chalmer I Schafer, Will Schrock and John I Rieter. The club will make a special | effort to make their part of the day’s program a “bloomiu success and desire the assistance of every citizen Lets make the day a rousing one.

The regular business session of the city council was held at their hall Tuesday evening, with Suttles, Haef ling, Niblick and Mann present and Chronister and Miller absent. Mayor Beatty presided and ordered the read - ing of the minutes of June 6, which were approved. The report of the judiciary committee on petition of telephone company was concurred in and the matter was referred to the board of public improvements. The following bills were then presented and allowed: Clover Leaf Railway Co., $3.96, W. W. Moats $59.49, John Reynolds $5.10, Gas Co., $46.8 1, F. A. Dibble $3.00, F. Ferrell $1.50. G. R. & I. R’y $1.64, E. Woods $8.40, Fort Wayne Electric Corporation $66.43, Electric Appliance Co., $83.79, National Carbon Co., $47.75, Ingersoll Sergeant Drill Co.. $7.33, Win. Geary $5 30, street commissioner’s pay roll $95.55. J. D. Hale $7.00. E. Woods $10.56, John Niblick $4.00, fire company $12.50, Jack McFeeley $1.50, Wm. Mersman $20.00, Old Adams County Bank 68e, Joseph Mallonee 75c, Noah Mangold $15.00. Councilman Niblick then moved to continue the bill of W. W. Moats which was carried. The petition of Harvey D. Rice and others asking the city to have the G. R. &I. stock yards re moved was filed and Niblick moved that the same lie referred to the health committee and it was so ordered. It was then moved that the finance committee and the city attorney be directed to collect the delinquent street improvement taxes and dues by suit or otherwise. Motion carried by full vote. The meetiug was then adjourned to meet in special session June 27.

The west bound passenger train j over the Clover .Leaf Sunday night had aboard one of the warmest of the ; warm delegations, the Toledo lodge of Elks, known everywhere as the Cherry Pickers, being enroute for the grand lodge meeting at St. Louis, j There were nearly' two hundred j in the party and they wore going in 1 for the mileage and drill prizes. The ; lodge has set aside S6OOO for the trip and will probably be the sensation of the meet. Tuesday evening twenty-one members of St. Mary’s Lodge, I. O. O. F. went to Convoy, Ohio, where they were entertained by the order there. Those who took advantage of the excursion were George Phillips, -J. H. Lenhart, L. C. Miller, M. L. Byers, H. R. Moltz, L. C. Helm. U. S. Cress, Phillip Foreman, Ed Brushwiller, Sam Butler, Charles Allegar, George Patterson. John M. Baker, L. A. Graham. H. S. Porter, H. D. Rice, H. E. Sowers, John W. DeLong, R. A. Sparks, Barney Kalvariski and A. Krunnemacker. Second degree work was conferred by the visitors. Manager France of the base ball club is busy this week looking after improvements at the park. Since the season has opened the management have been greatly annoyed by crowds congregating along the road on the north side of the park and seeing the game without paying and to stop this a canvas fence ten feet high and 400 feet long is being constructed. This will be placed just back of the right fielders position and will completely cut off the veiw from the road. Besides this the grandstand is being enlarged and otherwise remodeled and those who attend the game hereafter may bo accomodated by a commodious and well shaded stand. The management is keeping well up-to--1 date with their grounds and deserve a good patronage. The following with regards to the burial of Rev. Gregg is taken from the Kokomo Dispatch and will no doubt be interesting news to the many friends of the family here: Editor Arthur L. Bodurtha of the Peru 1 Journal, a schoolmate and a very inmate friend of the late Rev. E. T. Gregg, was in the city Friday and ’ witnessed the probating of Rev. ‘ Gregg’s will. The document was 1 filed by Attorney J. F. Elliott. ; The will was made in 1895, and according to its terms the wife becomes • executrix without bond and takes ‘ the entire estate, which is valued ’ lietween $25,000 and $30,000. Mr. ' Bodurtha appeared at the clerk’s office with Mr. Elliott, and aeknow- ; ledged his signature. The other r signature to the instrument was C. L. r Rayburn of Peru. With Mr. Elliott. ! Mr. Bodurtha had a long consulation • with Mrs. Gregg as to the final dis- ' position of her late husbands remains, i It was determined that they will be t laid in Crown Point cemetery. The 1 interment will take place some time 1 during the coming week. The exact i day has not yet been fixed. j The Huntington base ball aggre- ; gatiou has joined the innumerable } throng and went down under a crushing defeat from the hands of the ' famous Place’s Creams. The game r was played at Frcuefield’s park last Sunday*and was the tenth successive ’ victory for the home team. The visj itors arrived over the Chicago & Erie j at two o’clock Sunday morning and were entertained at the Park. They | were a clever, gentlemanly set of boys and while in the city made friends * with all whom they met. The game was called at three o'clock with Ford and Bowman and Reynolds and Cole as opposing batteries. For some < reason or other the game was listless 1 and part of the time very uninteresting, probably because the home club [ showed their superiority in the first : inning. The visitors went to bat and not a man reached the initial bag, i while the Creams followed in their > half with four runs. Huntington did f not score until the fourth inning, when i they made two runs and in the sixth > they again scored two, the last they « were able to force in. Decatur in the 1 first four innings sent ten men safely r over the plate, adding another in the i sixth and closing the game by a score . of eleven to four. Ford, the visiting . pitcher, was very effective and suet ceeded in striking out eight men, but , his support was very ragged and a - victory impossible. The Creams 1 played in their usual form, and could r have doubled their score by an effort. I Reynolds pitched a splendid game, i allowing "but six hits, and himself - making two nice singles. McCall and , Burgess made a number of brilliant s plays while the out-fielders were all at » their best. In the first inning Touhey - made a home run which was one of , the longest hits seen this season, foli lowing up in the next half with a . pretty running catch. Peterson and ) Mevers were also on the spot when fly - balls came in their direction and rel ceived their share of gratitude from > the “fans.” The game, as the pre- . vious Sunday exhibition, was quiet * and orderlv and the conduct of the > crowd most satisfactory to the maut ageinent. Peterson and Edwards did the umpiring and to the credit iff the r latter we wish to say that the he is - one of the fairest and best judges of i ball playing ever seen on the home grounds.

A serious accident oecured on the G. R. AI. railway, near the Decatur Egg case factory Tuesday afternoon in which George Meihls came near loosing his life. A number of workmen were pushing a car into position to load and Meihls was helping them, while thus employed other men were pushing another car just baekofthem. Meihls did not notice the second car and as the two came together he was caught between the bumpers and his body terribly crushed. Three ribs were broken and two cracked, while one of his shoulders was crushed flat. He was taken home and Dr. D. D. Clark called who dressed the wounds. A careful examination showed that no internal injuries were received and it is thought he will get along alright. His physician reported last evening that he was resting easily, and that he would very probably recover within a few days, although the escape from a terrible death was a close one. At the St. Mary’s Catholic church at nine o’clock yesterday morning was solemnized the marriage of Miss Mary M. Schurger and W. E. Rohr. Father Tlieodore H. Wilkens performed the ceremony, which unites them for life. Following the wedding the couple drove to the home of the bride, Mr. and Mrs. John Schurger, about a mile west of town, where about a hundred invited guests assembled and where the day was made one long to be remembered. A dinner of everything which goes to make a perfect wedding feast was served and the crowd was indeed a merry one. Last night a dance was given in honor of the occasion, the grand march being led by the bride and groom. Miss Schurger is well known in this city and surrounding country, as is also Mr. Rohr who lived here many years but who latley has been making his home at Hoagland, where he owns and operates a blacksmith shop. The happy couple will make their future home at Hoagland, where they will go within a few days. The Democrat extends congratulations and happiest greetings to Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Rohr wishing them many years of happiness and prosperity.

Places Creams, were at Bluffton last Friday for the purpose of crossing bats with a lot of broken down “stiffs” who hail from the little old village along the tow path. The hamlet is certainly well named for if there is a place on the map which is a bigger Bluff-town, we have failed to hear of it. It is one of those towns which invites her neighbors to meet them in a friendly contest, then robs them in broad day light, and expects to cover up their villiainv by saying “you fellers play baby ball.” The Bluffton team was organized about two weeks ago and is composed of such “has beens” as “Kid’ Fear, Gore Genette, and others equally as poor. They had twice met the Decatur club and were still smarting from two stinging defeats when they went upon the diamond Friday, prepared to either steal the game or whip their visitors, knowing that an honest victory from the Creams was out of the question. For eight innings they robbed and stole, kicked and and squealed upon every occasion, thoroughly disgusting their patrons and everybody else. In the first place, they would hear to no one umpiring the game, but Mac Arbaugh, whose principles upon the ball field are too well known to need any introduction. From the very start he was umfair and his decisions so rotten that every one on the grounds except Jake Schlegle and the Evening News reporter were disgusted. At the end of the eighth innining. the score, with everything against Decatur, stood nine to nine. In their half of the last inning Decatur made three runs. Then Bluffton came to bat and the first man up was thrown out at first. Fear, captain of “de gang" then gave them strict orders that no one was to strike at a ball and at the same time yelled to Arbaugh to give all the boys free passes to first. Reynolds, who pitched the last inning, France having been crippled threw the balls straight over but ere the sphere would reach the plate, Arbaugh’s voice could be heard all over the lot crying “ball,” until two men had been sent to bases. Then the third man came up, three balls were thrown to him, of these two should have been called strikes, but they all went for “balls” and Taylor who had been instructed what to do called the men in and quietly left the field. A large crowd was present and it is probable that fifty dollars were taken in, of which the Creams should have received fifty per cent,, but they were not even given their suppers. The game was a farce from start to finish so far as the “saudbaggers” were concerned and it is doubtful if they can beat our high school team, but we would not advise them to try it here, for our citizens might be tempted to give them a bath in the Kekionga. The Bluffton aggregation has treated every team which has visited them in this same manner and it is most probable that they will not be able to secure dates in *the future and will have to disband. The invincibles of this city played an excel lent game, considering what they had Ito overcome and are to be praised for [their gentlemanly actions.
