It Wan Sold Thursday at 1'uhlic Auction —A Satisfactory Sale. John Slmllz, assignee of Wm. II. Durham, on yesterday sold at auction the real estate of .Air. l)i rliam for the benefit,of the creditors. There were not many bidders, says the Crawf'ordsville Journal, but the sales made were satisfactory except on the Y. M. C. A. building, which did not bring anywhere near the price it is worth. The sales were as follows as taken from the Jour-
nal's list:
It is not generally known, but it is a fact, that a 11 umber of prominent Masons bad united and would have pur chased the building if the Y. M. <\ A. had dropped out of the bidding. Their representative, C. X. Williams, who \v ; i> present, w us authorized to bid fl5,550 for the three-fourths interest sold, but not to enter so long as the association was in the race. This coterie of gen tlemen slate that if the Y. M. ('. A. b sick of this morning’s bargain, they will give it $50(10 over the price paid. rite Dakota land of Mr. Durham’s was not sold as no bidders appeared, The total receipts of the sale amounted r <> $-2,203.55. ’I lie following are the properties sold, together with the price they commanded itt.il the purchasers: i. it ]<t Burton’s addition to liulianap-

This be Lent but owing to demOt.ratio times some of our people will not he able to tell tne ditFerence between the forty' days between Ash Wednesday and Easter and the rest ot the year. It would be suicidal for some people to indulge in any more abstemiousness than that foisted on them by the present administration.
I lie Credit Habit. ‘‘Buying goods on credit is hugely a habit,” remarked a well-known merchant one evening this week in discussing the credit system. If people could not obtain credit they would find some means of paying cash. The best proof of this is found in the case ot railroad traveling. People know that if they do not pay' cash for their tickets they cannot travel. Why should it be more of a hardship to pay cash for groceries than to pay cash I for railroad tickets? All that is 1 necessary to bring cash-paying is laying low for a week or two and catching up. People who ouv goods on credit are led into purchasing goods they cun get along very well without. In litis way they keep on mortgaging their fu tures. The money earned today goes to pay for the purchase yesterday, while the purchases of to day are a charge against the earn ings of tomorrow.
A FOOL LETTER.
Some Uipe ItentfoiiM why Grand Junes and Officer* Fall on Evidence. A letter addressed to “Foreman ot the Grand jury, care H. C. Lewis, city,” passed through the mails this morning and the Banner Times' is furnished a copy of the same, which we herewith reproduce verbatim et literatim: Gkkkncastle, ind.. Feb. 26. '95. Mr. Koreiiittii of Grand Jury and Gentlemen : Please look tifter our saloon business in ibis city verry dost and see that | they stop their Sunday selling ami to minors look after our quart saloons in the south end and at north end some -ay that they sell just about the same :ts if they had retail lieens this i.« not 1 rite and should be stopped the Sunday [ trade they tell us is a big trade with some on the square will you please look after their interest too and oblige we will see what you will do. Some Friends. The above demands more than passing attention. Its anonymous character at one stamps its weak ness, but a careful reatiing of it shows that its author is so weak kneed that he is almost atraid to breathe. Boiled down and shorn of its illiteracy', its “some say” and “they tell us,” the screed means that its author has something to tell and is afraid to tell it. The grand jury has been in ses sion ten days and has been until ing in its eftorts to get at some facts like the above chary individ uul possesses. This anonymous writer is just the person they want but he hides his knowledge behind a miserable bushel of foolishness sent through the mails. We would be almost willing to wager that the writer carried his literary gem to the post' tliee with a pair of tongs If he has any information, this genius, why in the name of common sense doesn’t hego before the grand jury and cough it up. No, he is (00 badly frightened. It is such people as these that stand around and abuse courts, officers, prose cutors and grand juries for failure, when they, the anonymous writer-, carry’ in their hands the necessaryevidence for an indictment and conviction. The writer significantly winds np his note with the sentence: “We will see what you will do.” That’s good. So long as the above writer and his timid ilk keep their secrets safely' locked up in their breasts they will see that the grand jury does nothing. They should act like men, and it they know any thing, go personally and give it up, and not resort to a coward’s method of writing anonymous letters.

Flint Tim** Secret8. In letting contracts to carry mail the United States government's terms provide that the line making thirty minutes better time than a competitor, all things being equal, shall be awarded the contract. While through travel always demands fast time, the matter of mail carrying explains the anxiety < ! the Vandulia-Pennsylvania lines i« make thirty minutes quicker time between New York and St. Louis than does the Big Four—Vanderbilt lines. It is evident that the hot pace inaugurated by the Big Four and soon after followed by the Vandnlia last fall will become hotter than ever when the spring time schedules go into effect. The Vanderbilt peopW-have claimed foi two vesr« that Dtey -kuSwH LuVi a larger per cent, of mail between the two points A Fant HiiKiiio. Engine 1B30, Class 1’.. sent west by the Pennsylvania to run on the Vandalia, yesterday, with train 20, consisting of seven cars, left Terre Haute four minutes iate, and, when eleven miles out. had made up the time and arrived at the Union Station two minutes ahead of time. The engineer expressed surprise over the ease with which the engine handled the train, and thinks it will haul it from Terre Haute to Indianapolis at u speed of one mile a minute without trouble.
The SnlvationUtH. The 'ower floor of College Avenue church was well filled last night, alter those in the gallery had been invited by Captain Kemp to come down to the level of the others. The services were of the same general, truly interesting nature as that of the preceding evenings, and the attention was very marked. Prof. Ogg spoke ot the good work of the Salvation Army, as he knew that the army had reclaimed fallen men. The musical selections were well enjoyed by the audience, and Captain Kemp’s religious remarks and lecture was a vigorous, wellillustrated appeal for the right. Tonight will be the last appearance of the corps in this ci'y at this time. Captain Kemp an nouncedthat the band would give a concert tonight, as is their custom on the last night of their visit in a city. Solos, band selections and other entertaining features will be introduced. No set price w ill be charged at the door, but every’ one attending will lie expected to deposit a silver (or good paper) otferng at the door. This means a dime or over. The program is named by the army as their ‘'musical festival,” and it has been highly spoken of in cities where it has been given, and when the price of admission is generally placed at twenty five cents. Dr. Hollingsworth spoke in favor of tile army, and stated that, Greencastle hadn’t done its full duty to the visitors, and made an appeal for those present ami the church members to attend tonight an 1 take their friends ami acquaintances with them. The army will go to Brazil timorrow, and the Banner Times hs--ures them in advance that they will find a field of unlimited oppor!,unities in which to carry on tiici’good work.

Uncli* Tom's Cabin Co. Brookville American. Tuesday evening the largest audience of the season gathered in the opera house to witness the masterly presentations of Uncle Fours Cabin by the justly noted v towe Co. Few who witnessed the agile dancing and bright topsyturvies lif Topsy knew that she was a smiling bride, but such was the fact, she, Miss Florence Ockerman, and J. H. Hannigan, the business manager of the troupe, having wedded the previous day at Richmond. John Stowe received a waim wel come from the K. of P. boys, he having played hero for them seventeen years ago, and they still re. member him. Harry Stetson, now with this troupe, founded the celebrated company bearing his name in 1872. So many good people in one show is unusual. Marks, usually a piece of buifooncy’, was played by Jos. Riteh without exaggerated silliness and was tenfold more funny than as ordinarily put on. The numerous bright specialties are so artistically woven in as to seem part of the original story, Little Eva, Miss Kroe, was up to the company standard, and Fred ( Ivmcr, the musical director, knows his business. Thirty people, the big dogs and trained pony, seem a big show f,. r hard time*, but the manager assures ns they have b-vr, successful, and their well groomed appearance bears out the assertion. At Opel a house i ODjgbr, Electricity played several pranks last night, not the least of which was the burning nut of the present telephone system. For a year or more, tile depots, Cooper Bros., E, A. Hamilton, the ladies dormitoty and the Banner Times have had a little system of their own, over which they could talk and at other times they couldn’t. Last night an electric wire struck the system aud knocked it into smithereens. Now we are all awaiting the advent of the new system.
