ON A CURVE NEAR JOHNSTOWN Damage Was Quite Heavy, But no One Injured—Seven Hours Rea quired to Clear the Track. : Freight train No. 45 due here at 6:30 a. m., was wrecked a short distance west of Johnstown, Ohio, early Sunday morning. The train was rounding a sharp curve and a flange on one of the car wheels climbed the rail, derailing seven cars loaded with merchandise, three of which were

completely overturned. The wrecking crew at Frankfort hastened to the scene and it required seven hours for them to clear the track sufficiently to allow other trains to pass. This is one of the few wrecks that was unavoidable, as the train was running at its usual rate of speed with no visible cause for an accident, and the blame cannot be Axed upon any person< Luckily no one was injured, but the members of the crew cannot understand how they escaped so fortunately in consideration of the fact that the seven cars were so badly demolished and the stop of the train so sudden.

; CLIMAX TO MONTH OF STORMS b > Terrific Thunder Storm Broke Suddeni Sunday Night—Clear Weather ■ Promised for Tomorrow. b ■ The present menu of weather breaks ' the records for all years within the memory of man. It's horrid, says the sweet girl graduate, who attended the baccalaureate sermon Sunday evening and her expression is strangely sec- ' onded by the farmer, the business man, the busy housewife who is trying to clean house, the base ball fan and in fact every one else. After a week of rain and two months of cold, disagreeable weather, the clouds parted Sunday evening and at seven o’clock the weather was perfect, the air balmy and not a cloud in the sky. An hour later with the big full moon shining brightly in the south east, a terrific storm came up from the west and for an hour or more the thunder and lightning never ceased a moment, while the rain fell in torrents. This morning the wind had veered to the north west and a miniature snow storm on the twentyseventh day bf May, made another record. Just how long this crazy quilt weather is to last is a question the weather man seems to have quit guessing on. HJ JAKE SCHLEGEL TO COLLEGE Will Resume Work at Upland—Gives up Mission Work. Jacob Schlegel arrived back in Bluffton last night from Van Wert. Ohio, and says he has abandoned his project of opening a mission in that city. He said he could not secure a room for less than $35 per month, and further that the Salvation Army is already located there and is reaching a class of people which he would reach with his mission. He said today that he is planning to go to Upland to work this summer around the Taylor University grounds, and that he expects to return to school at Taylor in the fall,- not having given up his ambition to secure an education. For a time he will work at odd jobs around town.—Bluffton News.

CONTRACTS LET FOR NEW HALL The I. O. O. F. Will Have Half Million Dollar Block. Indianapolis, Ind., May 23. —Paramount in the proceedings of the Indiana Grand lodge, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, now in session, was the report of the building committee appointed last November to prepare plans and award contracts for the erection of a new lodge and office building to supplant the present hall of the order at the northeast corner of Washington and Pennsylvania streets. The committee reported that plans for a fourteen-story building, prepared by Rubush & Hunter, architects, had been accepted and that conditional contracts had been entered jjnto for the construction of the building to cost, approximately, $540,000. Approval of the grand lodge was given this afternoon. Tennants of the present building have given consent to move out pending building operations and it is thought that actual work will begin June 1. All financial arrangements have been completed. The new building will occupy the entire site of the present Grand lodge hall, which has a frontage of 115 feet in Pennsylvania street and of sixty-seven and one-half in Washington' street. Though it will have fourteen stories it will be equivalent in height to a fifteen-story building by reason of the high auditorium, which will occupy the top floor. — o THEY ARE CATCHING THE FEVER Many Homes on West Monroe Street Being Improved. The spirit of improvement is no place in evidence so much as it is one west Monroe street. The D. E. Smith home looms forth from a new foundation, new. porches and with many changes inside, all of which add much to the convenience and beauty thereabouts. The fever has spread and now Fred Huer, Elijah Mann and Samuel Doak will all greatly improve their homes by similar additions, with some street improvement west Monroe will be the beauty spot of the town and quite aristocratic.

SAYS DESERVE A “SPANKING” Two Highway Peteltions and a DiTwo Highway Petitions and a DiFrench Probated.

Two petitions for highways have been venued here from Wells county and were filed this morning. They are entitled George O. Pence et al and Thomas L. Fisher et al. Eichhorn & Vaughn appear as attorneys in both petitions. Another divorce case filed is entitled Mary E. Thomas vs. Harvey Thomas, L. C. DeVoss appearing for the plaintiff. The usual harsh charges are among the allegations. Judge Erwin gave his decision in the case of Grace Lister vs. Thomas T. Lister as soon as'the evidence was concluded, refusing the divorce and dismissing the cause. He said these parties had no cause for divorce or separation, that they should resume their former happy relations and added that if the court had' it in his power, he would “spank” the parties, who are acting like children. However, the couple are still mad at each other, and there were no signs of love exhibited as they left the court room. The last will and testament of Mary French, deceased, was probated. She bequeaths that her daughter, Lydia Steiner receive the sum of three dollars per week since January 1, 1899, for such time as she can help herself, and five dollars per week while she was sick. If anything is left after this and after paying other necessary expenses, the balance is to be equally divided among the other children, Lovina North, Louisa Huffman, Jere French, Marion French, and the heirs of Sarah Ann Steiner and Miller French and Lydia Steiner. John P. Steiner is named as executor. The will was written January 27, 1903, and witnessed by F. W. Mosure anh Timothy Foutz. A marriage license has been issued to Marshall A. Paxson, aged thirty, a

' plumber from Fort Wayne, and Nettie Johnson, aged twenty of this township. The bride is the daughter of . Willis Johnson. The case of the Farmers’ and Merchants’ Bank, of Bryant, vs. Bear Creek township, Jay county et al, came to a sudden termination this morning when the plaintiffs withdrew the submission. The suit is for the recovery of $1,700, the amount borrowed by a former trustee to repair roals. The present trustee is refusing to pay the warrant on the ground that it was made without proper action on the part of the advisory board. The case will likely be up for trial at some later date. —Bluffton Banner. The case of David P. Humerick, administrator of the estate of W. E. McCauley, who was killed on the Erie railroad, has filed suit against the latter company asking for SIO,OOO. The case was filed at Huntington, and venued to Wells county, where it will be tried next fall. < : - o WALLACE MAY JOIN COMBINE Circus People Met at Pittsburg Last ‘ Week. Circus people have flocked to Pittsburg In large numbers during the past week, and it is reported that the Hagenbeck-Wallace show may go into the combination, which is to have absolute control of the circus business, dividing the territory so the dates of the shows will not conflict, and reducing the salaries paid to performers and feature acts. The circus combination at the opening of the season included the Barnum & Bailey show and the Buffalo Bill Wild West, which are both owned by the same company, and the Forepaugh-Sells and Ringling shows, which are owned by the five Ringling brothers and others. The HagenbeckWallace, a new show, is owned by Carl Hagenbeck, B. E. Walace, E. D. Stair, John H. Havlin and others. ———■ ' - .—oMr. and Mrs. J. M. Lenhart, of Decatur, Mrs. Eli Merriman of Ft. Wayne, arrived on the Saturday morning train to be entertained by the former’s uncle, Joseph Valentine and family living four miles south of the city.—Portland
