Worked the Bank. A few days ago a young man named Wilson worked the Rnachdalo Bank for $300. He represented to the hank officials that ho had $1,100 on deposit at Kokomo, and reqdested that they cash a $300 check for him. He was accomodated, and it was soon learned that he had no money on deposit as represented. Wilson could not be found after this discovery, hut his relatives agree to make good to the Roachdale Bank the $300 he secured from them. Death of Mrs. Matson. Gone before; journeyed to the beyond to join loved ones and await the loved ones left behind. On Monday morning, Mary Nelson Farrow, wife of Col. C. C. Matson, of this city, died of heart disease, after a sickness of only about two days, aged 41 years, S months and 24 days. Deceased was married to Oourtland C. Matson, on Dec. 12, 1S71: four children were horn to them- Smith C., Rees F., Mary N., and Margaret C.— the latter died on Sept. 10, lsS3, in Washington City. The announcement ofMrs. Matson’s death was a shock not only to our own people, but also to the host of friends of the family all over the country. Monday afternoon and since that time, letters and telegrams of condolence, almost without number, were received by Col. Matson. Among those who sent words of sympathy were Vice President elect Stevenson, Governor Claude Matthews, Senator Yoorhe.-s, Congressmen Bynum, Cooper and Bretz, of Indiana, Congressman Stone, of Kentucky, Ex-Congressman Fisher, of Bay City, Mich., Congressional Postmaster Dalton, Major O. J. Smith, of New York, General Superintendent McDoel and Judge Field and wife, of the Monon R. R., O. O. Stealy, of the Louisville Courier-Journal, Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Rickey, of Washington, D. C., Hon. George A. Knight, of Brazil, Judge Miers, of Bloomington, Hon. Samuel Donelson. Mr. and Mrs. Craig and Mrs. A. E. Edwards, of Denver, Co!., Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Havens and Mr. and Mrs. S. E. McIntosh, of Indianapolis, R. X. Palmer, Joseph Giles, ofBedford, R. C. Houston, of Frankfort, and others. There is a very bright side to this great bereavement visited upon husband, children, mother, sisters, and other relations and many friends. Mrs. Matson was one of the noble of her day and generatlrn noble in womanly beauty, noble in lofty mind and character, noble in love, in home, in friendship, in joy, and in sorrow; her memory is sw’eet incense about and above the sorrowing here, beckoning them upward and onward to the final rest, cheering them when sad and joining them in the gladness as the days pass and eternity nears. ’Twould be impossible to fin’d words to truly picture the home circle as it has been -a trusting and loving wife; a watchful, tender, unselfish, sacrificing mother, with eye always lit with the love light of home and family; the kindly cheer and hospitality extended to the friends when they reached the family threshold; the halo of happiness ever present at hearth and board graced by her this is all gone, save as a sweet memory that will ever serve to comfort the stricken and sorrowing ones, and serve as a great and constant incentive to us that we may so “number our days that we may apply our heart unto wisdom" eternal, and from everlasting to everlasting. The bright side is in these thoughts of the missing one and in the hope that wc all will join her “over there.” The funeral which was largely attended. tool: place on Wednesday afternoon, from the family residenee, Dean Gobin, of the DePauw Theolo-
and from the World’s Fair. The road has been placed in fine condition and a large number of new passenger coaches will be put into service— some of them are now being built and others are completed.

Pessimists domiciled around about hero have made their gloomy and depressing forebodings heard in regard to the future of Oreencastle, but their croaking seems to have had no lasting effect. The outlook for Greencastle is full of promise. All Indiana cities not situated within the gas belt have felt the effect of nature’s cheap fuel, and have suffered accordingly. How much longer the natural gas supply will last is not yet determined; certain it is that many wells have failed, and many others give signs of failing, while in certain districts once richly supplied with natural gas there is none found now. With the failure of natural gas, sure to come, capital seeking location to invest in industry will naturally turn to cities and towns near the coal su pply, with good shipping facilities and healthfully located these are all found at Oreencastle, together with a magnifieont water supply. Yes, the outlook for Oreencast'e’s future is exceptionally good. Mrs. Matilda Dorsett and daughter, of Cuss county, Mo., are here visiting relatives. —Daniel Enright,ofI.imcdale, was badly injured a few days ago. The coal in one of the r ilroad chutes fell upon him l.y arcident, utterly crushing him to the earth! It i- hoped he will speedily recover. —The New York Opera and Comedy Company is iiilleil for lliursday, Feb. IS, at Opera House, tills city, and will play “Mrs. Flynn's Boarding House.” The company is one of high reputation and the play is One of the latest comedy hits so popular in the East. Amusement lovers will do well to bear in mind the date and the great attraction
offered.
On Thursday night Emanuel Marquis, Jr., found a man lying in the street, unconscious, with a great gash cut in his forehead; he was covered with blood and his appearance was startling. He succeeded in taking him th Or. Smythe's office, where his wound wax dressed. The injured man gave his name as Brown, and said he was from I'lain.ield; and later saiil his home u .is at Orawfordsvillej that he knew Henry Hillis, of this city, and would go there and stay all night. Further we have been unable to learn. Sudden Death. A very sudden death was that of Dr. A. C. Fry, of this city, on Thursday last. It was a shock not only to the family, hut also to our citiiens generally. Dr. Fry had been conlined to the house most of thetiracsince November last, suffering from nervous prostration, but of late he was considered in an improved condition and no thought was had of death l.eing near. On Thursday, just before noon, he drank some boiled milk, and afterwards asked for a drink of water. He then lay back on the bed, his wife sat on a chair at the be • ide, with her I.end on the pillow, and in a minute or two she heard her husband make a peculiar gasping noise. She looked at him and discovered his eyes glassy and rolled upward. She screamed for assistance, but ere any one reached her he was dead. The cause of death is unknown, but the supposition is 'hat it resulted from heart rupture or appoplezy. 1. r. Fry was 59 years of a ,r: he leaves a wife, son and daughter to mourn the loss of a most loving, kind and indulgent husband and father, and a host of friends and acquaintances mourn his sudden death. Arrangements for the funeral have not been made, at this writing. The daughter, Mrs. Alola Detrick, is en route from California, ami the funeral will take place soon after her arrival.
