The small boys, and some of larger rowth, are anxiously looking forward to Hallowe’en, being anxious o gain distinction by doing mischief r committing depredations. Jesse W. Weik helped to institute lodge of the “Order ot Lincoln,” at I [uncie, on Monday night, and as art of the proceedings delivered an j ddress on “Lincoln the Man.” Mrs. Clarissa P. Sloan, wito of a >rmer Greencastle merchant, who j ill be remembered as a member of 1 ie firm of Sloan & Fordyce, died icent’y, at Colorado Springs, Col., ;ed 76 years. The President, Lou J. Kader, anjunces that Greencastle W. R. C. is be inspected at the next regular eeting, Oct. 26, by Mary J. Hadley, Danville.

The meeting announced to be held at Leuteke’s Hall, last Monday night, failed to take place, because the parties having the hall rented from Mr. Leuteke refused to allow the silver advocates to use the hall, giving as an excuse the plea that it was used only for religious purposes. This may be true, but we are informed that gold bugs have held meetings there during the campaign, and this being true, it would indicate that the religious people who control the hall are of the gold hug denomination and don’t want to give their silver

brethren a show.

Fred Catherwood and wife wore hero from Indianapolis to attend the

color, held a meeting at the Mayor’s office, on Monday night. John Fox j was one of the orators of the occa-! sion, but his remarks were not foxy, or cunning, or cute, or commendable; they were disjointed, unintellible and without point or meaning— the only good thing about them was

for intelligent people present. Henry Bridges followed with the proclamation that he knew nothing about the silver question but he was up on the fact that he was going to vote the Republican ticket. Ben Hayden, who was robbed of the nomination for Councilman in the third ward, followed by denying that he was for free silver, and deploring the fact that in Kentucky the Republican Legislature failed to do away with the “Jim Crow cars” in which colored folks have to ride. William Herring, John Bolling and George Herring also displayed their mirth provoking powers as Republican orators, and their dense ignorance of political affairs before the meeting adjourned. The McKinley Gold Bug Club is a sad commentary ou Repub-

lican politics and politicians.

A Joyous Occasion.

On last Monday night the 20th wedding anniversary of James E. Foudray and wife was most pleasantly observed, greatly to their surprise and happiness. Mrs. Phillip Meikel urns responsible for the pleasures of the occasion, sho having planned the surprise in nil its details and carried it to a successful consumumation. When the guests arrived Mr. Foudray was astonished greatly, and it took some time for him to figure out just what was going on; the congratulations of his guests solved the matter. The hours passed pleasantly with music, dancing, games, etc., and the delicious refreslimonts served added much to pleasure of the occasion. Quite a number of handsome presents were give to the bride and groom of 20 years ago by the friends present. Among those present were Mrs Edgar Foudray and daughter, and Will Blue, of Indianapolis; Mrs. Lottie Davis, of Bradshaw; Messrs, and Mesdames Geeorge Burk, Charley Houghland, Ross Grismer, John Moore, Mrs. Joseph Allen and daughter Pearl, Mrs. Larkin Turner, Mrs. Phil Meikel and daughter Lizzie, Mrs. James Black and daughter Sarah, Miss Hattie Lueteke, Mrs. Frank Meikel, Misses Musie and Bettie Crawley, Messrs.

(Special correspon-' dcnce. >—A very pretty home wedding occurred at the residence of the bride’s parents on West Commercial Avenue, Monday evening, Oct. 12th. The contracting parties were Mr Roy Abrams, of Greencastle, Ind., and Miss Sylvia M. Dwyer, daughter ol John Dwyer of this city. Rev. Mor ris of the Church of Christ of Green castle, Ind., officiating. Beautiful Indian Summer weatht r honored the occasion, the spacioi s grounds surrounding the resident e were brilliantly lighted by Japanese lanterns hanging from the nature 1 forest trees, golden in their autuhim 1 foliage. Every surrounding about the home offered an inviting appearance The interior of theheute, ablaze with numerous lights, had been trans formed into a perfect bower of natura and artistic beauty: roses and fiowertof every description and varietj bounded in profusion, the walls were wreathed with clinging vines, selected for the occasion. A large tissue paper parasol hanging pendant in the library was an appropriare attractive object. The nuptial window nook was especially profusely decorated, and over the heads of the bride and groom, as the marriage ceremonj was rt cited, was suspended a mammoth (lowering horseshoe. Some 300 invitations hadgbeen is•itied, ami at 7:00 p. m. the guests began assembling. From the music room the romantic strains of the orchestra could be plainly heard in all parts ot the residence. Promptly at 7:30 p. m. tho wave of a familiar march was wafted through the rooms and tho bridal party marched to the ceremony parlor. uThe bride wore a costume of white pearl silk, with appro priate ornaments, and carried a large boquet of Marshal Niel roses. Miss Julia Bryant, of South Chicago, 111., bridesmaid, was costumed in pink silk, neatly trimmed in lace. The groom was stylishly dressed in black suiting. Mr. Duff Neff, of Greencastle lud., appeared as best man and was similarly attired. Little Misses Por ria Dwyer, neice of the bride, and Daisy Elliott were flower girls, and perfect little fairies they apreared. The ceremony was impressive and the strictest attention paid. Tho us ual congratulations were then tender ed, and the party repaired to the din ing room, where an elaborate wed ding feast had been prepared by a celebarted caterer and his assistants. The proverbial punch bowl was pres ent, but happened to bo filled with clear, cool lemonade. No sooner had the party seated themselves at the table, which groaned under its weight of delicacies, than from without came the serenading airs of the Lowell band. A concert of several popular selections was then given, the music of the hand and orchestra alternating. Tho evening passed happily, but too swiftly, and all too soon the time arrived for tho train that was to bear the bridal party southward: some of the guests to their central Indiana homes, amf the bride and groom on a tour through the southern

cities.

A large company of intimate friends accompanied them to the station and many were the well wishes extended and great was the quantity of rice thrown over the bridal couple. Among ihe guests were: Rev. Morris, Mr. Thomas Abrams and wife, parents of the groom; Mr. Renick and wife, David Abrams and Duff Neff of Greencastle, Ind.; Miss Julia Bryant and Artlmr Bacon of South Chicago 111.; Mrs. Williams, aunt of the bride, from Frederickton, O., Mrs. Jane Sanger, Hammond Ind.;and Mr. Vorhees, of Hebron, Ind.

Bryan appeared on ••Sunset Hill.'’ before 11,000 people, and with his manly presence and matchless eloquence charmed and captivated all within sight and hearing. The occasion will be remembered and noted so long as Greencastle has a history. Mr. Bryan and his charming wife, were introuduced to the immense audience, by Col. C. C. Matson. Our presidential nominee, as he appeared before the people, greeted them with a pleasing smile, indicative of the fact that he appreciated the interest of our people in the cause of free silver, as was evidenced by the immense throng present and their patient wait of over an hour, because of the belated train that brought

Mr. Bryan to them.

The address of Mr. Bryan was neeessarilly very brief—he had two appointments to fill after leaving here, at Brazil and Terre Haute, which latter place lie did not reach until after 8 o’clock—but his remarks were pointed, positive and perfectly in acccord with the expectations of iiis hearers; they wore strong in

arr given victory ut the polls iu this county. Talk ofthis sort, coming from such u source, is similar to n lecture on morality coming from Satan's lips. The Kepuhlicaus have been in office in Greencastle for many years, and crookedness lias been the rule and not the exception in the alVuirs of the city the people have been robbed, and records, books, and bonds have disappeared—been burned or otherwise destroyed to the end that the guilty ones might not been punished, and Iheir bondsmen have made public acknowledgment that the destruction of books, bonds, etc., had saved to them thousands of dollars they would have been forced to pay into the city treasury had not the evidence of the steals been put out of the way. This same gang has illegally and with only partisan real as a warrant, paid out thousands of dollars of the people’s Monday to pay private debts; they have used their official power in this city to cover partisan crimeit and shield partisan wrong doers: they have been dishonest and extravagant in the conduct of the affairs of the city, and now they pose as political saints and pray that the county may be turned over to their tender mercies. An investigation of the books and accounts of this city, for the past twenty years, will unearth crookedness and rotteness that will astonish our people generally, and an investigation should be had, and that too, with-

out loss of time.
