Delphi Lady Writes of Coincident in Washington.

Mrs. W. H- Bradshaw, of Delphi, who with her husband has been making a trip in the east, wrote from Washington, D. C, under date of Feb. lath, relating a coincident that occurred at the Metropolitan M. E. church. Bishop McDowell delivered an address in the morning and that evening Senator Moses E. Clapp, of Minnesota,. delivered his sermon-lecture on Abraham Lin-, coin. After the service Mr. and Mrs. Bradshaw were introduced to the senator and also to Rev. James 8. Montgomery and it developed that both had formerly lived in Carroll county. Rev. Montgomery and Senator Clapp are both native Hoosiers and Rev. Montgomery’s first appointment was at Pattsburg, Carroll county, while the senator lived in Delphi until he was 6 years of age. They had a pleasant reunion and in the course of their conversation Mr. Clapp held up one foot saying, “They don’t grow such feet outside of the Wabash valley.” Mrs. Bradshaw says in her letter, “After all, the world is not so large, and our ‘Mutual Friend’ is everywhere.”
