Another Eclipse of the Moon. Astronomers hare announced another eclipse of the the moon to take place on Thursday night, Oct oher 17th. It will be the first total eclipse so generally visible since 1888. The moon will enter the pen nmbra, or shadow, at 8 :47 o’clock. The beginning of the visible elipse will take place at 9:55 and from that time the circular shadow of the earth will occupy more and more of the surface of the moon until, at 11 :0ti, the eclipse will be come total. The middle of the total eclise is figured to occur at 11:57, and at 12:47 the edge of the satellite will be again visible. ! From that time the moon will grad j ually come more and more into plain view until 1 :53, when its round face will be once more uncovered. The final passing out of the shadow of the earth will take place at 3:0b, hut this change, like the first phase of the eclipse, will he practically indiscernible. Our Prearhers Short of Rations. Lafayette Courier. The Monon train north yesterday was completely swamped witn clergymen. The transportation of the G. A. R. veterans had taken all the surplus cars of the Monon and when the train reached Monon it was necessary to switch on a freight caboose, and even then full. There were eighty-six ministers on the train, besides ladies and laymen when the train reached South | Wan.atah. The Nickle Plate train had gone, and the crowd went on to Wanatah, where it had to wait two hours for a Pennsylvania train for Valparaiso. Preachers are proverbial eaters, and the hotel man did not know which way to turn when the crowd came upon him for sup per. The brethren distributed themselves in groups over the village, and managed to get supper.

A GRAND REUNION.

Tti« Mrsi Annunl ICeiinion of Hip Hillin Family a Itig Affair. Abraham Hillis and James M. Hiliis came of Putnam county in 1825 and settled on land now owned by Abe and S. H. Hillis, respectively. The two hardy old pioneers have gone to a better world but their fruits and offspring are here in lively evidence. Especially lively were they yesterday at the first annual reunion of the Hillis family. The descendents of Abraham Hillis number 208 and those of James M. Hillis 203. These consist of children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Over two hundred of their descendents met Wednesday at the residence of George Hillis in his beautiful sugar grove, three miles north of the city. The day was an auspicious one and was all that could he desired. The time was spent in social amusement and enjoyment until the grand dinner hour, when the dinner was dispatched with true vigor. After dinner everybody was happy anil the exercises began. There is a standing reward of ten dollars for the discovery of a Hillis who cannot sing. Everybody sang Wed nesday. The congregation sang “My Country ’Tis of Thee,” other patriotic airs under the leadership of John P. Hillis, the noted evangelist. Hon. G. C. Moore delivered a happy address and Rev. Wm. K. Weaver made some excellent re marks. Solos were sung by John P. Hillis, Wilbur Starr and others, while duets were also sung. A committee was chosen on arrangements for the future, consist ing of George Hillis, S. H. Hillis Wm. Hillis and Logan Foxworthy. They will elect officers and appoint time for the meeting next year at the same place. These reunions

Military In the Public School*. Lieut. E. M. Lewis met with the public school board of the city Wednesday evening in a special session to consult over the establishment of the ipilitary department of the high school authorized by the board last year. It was de cided to put the new department into practical work at once and the and the matter will he entirely in the hands of Lt. Lewis. Mr. Lewis is contemplating a trip to Cbicamauga. and, if he goes, the work will not begin until his return next week. The guns will be furnished by the state military authorities, and the young men will be uniformed in gray, something like the West Point cadet uniform. The officers of the company will be ap-

pointed by Lt. Lewis.

The department bids fair to he a popular one, and the school board is especially fortunate in having so experienced and capable a man as

Mr*. Sara It Hiripatli.

The death of Mrs. Sarah Ridpatli, relict of Abraham Ridpath and mother and step-mother of several members of tlie family in Greencastle, occurred on last Saturday morning. The event was not unexpected; for Mrs. Ridpath had been for several years an invalid. Her disease was consumption, by which she was brought down slowly to the tomb. She was a native of Kentucky, and was sixty-three years and six months old at her death. She was a woman of many virtues, and was greatly esteemed by her neighbors and friends. Her character as a wife and mother was recognized and praised by all who knew her. She was sell-sacri-ficing, devoted and humble. She bore her long affliction without complaint, mid passed awav without a murmur. The funeral services occurred on Monday morning Hie 9th instant, and were conducted by Drs. Hollingsworth, Gobin and Bassett. A large concourse
