Th Montgomery county courthouse has pvobabiy never before in Its history been so richly decorated as on the present occasion of the lying in state of the body of ex-Governor Mount yesterday between the hours, of 11 a. m. and 1 p. m. The chief decorator was J. W. Ciemson. who began the work Friday morning with a law force of assistants. Through their efforts the rotunda of the courthouse, in the center of which the body was placed on a dais, was transformed into a beautiful vista of flaps and flowers, made brilliant by scores of electric lights suspended from the ceiling above. A prominent feattire of the decorations was the use of the K. of P. colors. At the head and foot of the casket and on both sides the floral offerings brought from Indianapolis and tho!e contributed at Crawfordsvllle by friends of the deceased were artistically arranged amidst masses of ferns, palms r.nd evergreen. Governor Mount's comrades in the G. A. R. rsts ot Crawfordsvllle were the first to view the remains after the doors were epened. Then came the Darlington lodge, K. of P., and afterward the general public. During the two hours that the body lay la state the friends and neighbors of the deceased passed through the rotunda in an unbroken line at the rats of about fifty a minute. Promptly at 1 o'clock the doors of the courthouse were closed and preparations -were begun for the next step In the ceremonies, which was the service at Center Presbyterian Church. THE FUNKHAL SERVICES.

Center Presbyterian Church Croivded Dr. Knnr'H Address. "When the time came for the beginning of the funeral services in the Center Presbyterian Church, the fact became apparent that Crawfordsvllle was the Mecca of one of the largest crowds In Its history. Earlier In the day the visitors had sought the hotels and other places of entertainment on account of the severe cold, and thus the sire of the crowd could not be determined. "When the doors of the church were opened It did not require ten minutes to fill the edifice In every part and hundreds remained on the outside endeavoring to catch glimpses of the proceedings through the dcors and windows. As the family and friends of the deceased moved slowly down the aisles of the church, preceded by the military guard bearing the casket, the organist played the first solemn air that had been heard since the ceremonies Incident to the burial of the exGovernor began. During the marches through thes treets of Indianapolis and Crawfordsvllle prior to the church service the military band that headed the procession always played popular marches In accordance with the expressed wishes of Mrs. Mount. The solemn hush that fell over the congregation was broken by the reading of the scriptural lesson by Rev. II. A. Alexander, pastor of Center Presbyterian Church. This was followed with a brief prayer by Rev. Dr. W. . P. Kane, president of Wabash College, as follows: "Almighty God, our Father, we bow beforo Thee, realizing that we are but dust In Thy presence and that we lift our hearts In consciousness that Thou art our Father, that Thy promise is that wo shall inherit the things of Thy people. In this sacred hour we look unto Thee, the giver of life, the God who has blessed us in all our living and unto whom we shall go when we pass from the earth. May Thy spirit quicken every heart with a consciousness that God Is near in this hour. We ask it In Jesus Christ. Amen." The vocal music was furnished by the Quartet of the church, composed of John FAIR AND WARMER TO-DAY. rrobably Rain In Northern Indiana To-MorroTT Fair in the Sontk. WASHINGTON. Jia. 13.

H. SteiTaney, A. A. McCain, Mrs. Benjamin Crane. Mrs. Mary Thompson and Professor Donaidson Bodlne. The first song was the familiar hymn, "Rock of Ages," which was the favorite of Governor Mount.

Dr. Knnc'n Address. The Rev. Alexander read extracts from the Bible appropriate to the occasion, after which Dr. Kane delivered the principal address, as follows: "In a solemn hour like this our thoughts Inevitably turn away from the glitter and the deception of mere outward and transient conditions toward that of human life, which is real and enduring. Death is a great dispellcr of illusions. It must be so to those to whom the summons comes. No one who crosses the threshold of the Invisible world comes back to tell us what lies beyond or what were their experiences in passing from one world to the other. There are some things, however, that must be true of such an experience. We know, for example, that death separates a man from ail the attachments and honors and possessions that are wholly of this world. The next moment after death all earthly distinction has disappeared. No man is then known as rich or poor, master or slave, president, governor or citizen, lie Is simply a soul in the presence of the great white throne. Whether he is high or low. rich or poor, noble or ignoble, will depend not upon the property he accumulated here, nor upon the offices or titles he secured from his fellow-men, but wholly upon the quality of bflng which he takes with him out of the world. That is what Ir wrought into his Immortality. "I suppo.se that when the approach of death gives time for reflection this truth ccmes out very clearly in the consciousness of the dying. In such moments the earth and all things that belong to it fade into insignificance, and only that which is Immortal becomes real. Even those of us who remain reflect in a measure the power of this change of vision. When a man of great wealth or of official prominence passes away public attention is directed, not so much to his fortune or to his office, but to the- man himself the measure of his character and the quality of his being. TURN TO THE MAN. "So our thoughts turn to-day, not upon James A. Mount, the Governor or farmer or senator, but upon James A. Mount the man upon that which still lives and loves and achieves. He himself always kept his manhood uppermost, holding it above and making it more conspicuous than office or party or property. I know of no higher tribute to be paid to a public servant than that. And I know of no service so sorely needed by the State. "Mr. Mount was for many years my personal friend. I knew him well and was permitted to come into contact with him somewhat intimately in various relations. I always found him the same true hearted, clear visloned and unflinchingly loyal to his high ideals. He was never a trimmer cither in public or private life. You always knew where to find him. He was open, candid and unconcealed. He was a thoughtful man, had positive convictions and was unswervingly true to ?hem. He was open neither to intimidation r.or enticement. I venture the asaertion that no man who knew him ever attempted to influence him corruptly, and no man who attempted to intimidate him succeeded. Thank God there are men in office who carry with them such an atmosphere of noble integrity that the corruptlonlst Is smitten with it when he comes into theit presence and his puerile soul shrinks under its blight, and he slink? away rebuked and defeated without ever having made known his evil purpose. I do not believe that every public man has his price, and I do not believe that even th suspicion should be allowed to rest upon a man who has become a public servant. Governor Mount was by no means alone in the qualities I have described, but he was rarely conspicuous In their possession. He was worthy of being called a typical Christian patriot. GENEROUSLY ENDOWED. "He was a man generously endowed by nature. He had an active, vigorous mind, with native Insight, broad Intelligence and magnetic personality. It was not by mere good fortune that he found his way to the front in any sphere that he entered. He had the peculiar combination of qualities that constituted him a born leader of men. Though compelled in early life to struggle with difficulties which to many men would have been insurmountable, he was able, not only to rise above them, but able to compel them to contribute toward his upbuilding and achievement. For the very qualities in him which had much to do with his success In life were developed and disciplined by hard conditions. "Although holding himself to high standards, he was never Pharisaical nor Intolerant. His most positive antagonists recognized his high purpose, and believed In his integrity. A highly developed conscience In a strong personality Is apt to engender fanaticism and throw one out of working relations with his fellow-men. This was not true, however, of Governor Mount. Without sacrificing his own high ideals, he was able to attach himself to the actual conditions of life, and make himself a positive force for their betterment. "Above all, as we stand beside this casket to-day, we remember that Governor Mount was a Christian. That is what lifts the gloom and changes defeat into victory and death Into life. He was thoroughly, openly and always a devout follower of Jesus Christ. He lived every day In full View of the eternity into which he has now entered. Death has not been to him a cutting down, or a cutting off, but an uplifting and a crowning. The summons was sudden, but not too sudden. He needed no special warning or preparation. His death, though a great bereavement, was not untimely. It was not cruel. It was beautiful; It was glorious. He was permitted to fill even the last day, and almost the last hour, with earnest, active service; and the transition the bursting of the new light the glory the welcome. "Who is not ready in the presence of such a career and of such a crowning to Join In the prayer. 'Let me live the life of the righteous and let my latter end be as his?' " THE CLOSING PRAYER. The closing prayer was offered., by Rev. Dr. II. L. Nave, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Crawfordsvllle, as- follows: "We pray Thee that Thou will help us to hear Thee saying to us, 'De still and know that I am God. Thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth or ever Thcu hadst formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting Thou art God. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. We thank Thee that we can come to Thee as to a father and trust Thee and know that Thou doest all things well. Thou gavest this life and Thou hast received it again. We thank Thee for this well-ordered life among us. We thank Thee for this testimony tint comes truthfully from all. that he was a man of God. one who loved his fellows, one who struggled to do Thy will and to glorify Thee. O Lord. In his body and spirit, which are Thine. We thank Thee that death came not to nim as a surprise, but that It came to him as a glad release, and we rejoice to-day that heaven is not far away from us, because we realize thai one who trusted and loved and served Thee ha3 entered Into the eternal city. And now we ask Thee that by this service we may come closer to Thy great throbbing heart. O God. and that we may realize that Thou art Interested in us and that Thou wilt do for us more abundantly than we can ask or think. Help us to leave our lives in Thy hands. And now, our Father, we commend these who loved him to Thy loving, tender care. Do Thou draw especially .near to ihem as they take up life's burdens without him. And grant, O Lord, to fulfill all Thy promises and walk with them unto the end of tho Journey. Bless, we pray Thee, this memory, and grant, our Father, that the life which has simpl been transferred to another scene may be one which the young men may emulate. And may we all live so that when the summons comes we may be ready. And may etch one of us hear from the Master's lips the words. 'Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things; I will make thee ruler over many. Enter thou Into the Joy of thy Lord. Hear our prayer and help us, we ask in His name. Amen." CONCLUDING SERVICES. The service was concluded with the singing of "Paradise," another of the late Governor Mount's favorite hymns. A little excitement was occasioned by a younz woman fainting just after the sinking of the hymn "Rock of Ages." The young woman's name was said to be Alexander, although her place of residence could not be learned. The cause of her fainting was ascribed to the excessive heat ot the overcrowded church. . n interesting feature of the services' was tts prc:-C3 cl C2vcr4 fcundrej x::i7zzi

of the civit war. many of whom served in the famous Wilder Brigade with Mr. Mount. On the platform with Dr. Kane, the president of Wabash College, sat the venerable Dr. Joseph F. Tuttle, his predecessor and a life-long friend of erGovernor Mount. At the close of the service the congregation remained seated while the family and friends passed from the church. The procession was Immediately formed for the long march to the cemetery. AT OAK HILL CEMETERY.

Interment of the Remains of the Late Ex-Governor. The procession to Oak 'Hill Cemetery, which started a few minutes after 2 o'clock, was formed in the same manner as that which acted as escort from the depot to the courthouse in the morning, with the addition of scores of vehicles of all kinds conveying friends of the deceased who came from miles around to pay a last tribute of respect. The line of march to the cemetery was north on Washington street to Main, thence west to Vance, thence along the Lafayette pike. The route included Sparry bridge, an historical structure which spans the stream marked on the map, as Rock river, but known to the people of the locality as Sugar creek. The scene at the grave was one of great beauty. As the casket was deposited near the grave the .sun shone more brightly than It had any time previously in the day. The mounds of earth left from the excavation were completely h.dden beneath a mass of evergreen, upon which the floral tributes were arranged in artistic groupings. A slight hitch in the ceremonies occurred here, which was speedily remedied.. The silken flag which covered the casket was removed and the body of the ex-Governor was reverently lowered into Its last resting place. With head uncovered Dr. Kane spoke the final words in the service. He said: "Inasmuch as It has pleased Almighty God in His providence to take the soul of our deceased brother out of this world, wo commit this body to this kindred 'earth to earth, dust to dust, ashes to ashes' in the confidence of a glorious Immortality to Jesus Christ, our Lord. And now, our Father, we lift our hearts in gratitude unto Thee at this moment for all that this life has been to us, for what it has wrought, for the influence that It will leave behind. We thank Thee for the outlook of faith toward the gathering in the other home and may the blessing of Almighty God. the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit abide with us forever. Amen." Company C. of the Indiana National Guard, fired three volleys of musketry over the grave, and the Impressive ceremonies were brought to a touching close with the sounding of taps by Bugler J. Russell Powell. Return of Special Train. The special train started on Its return trip from Crawfordsvllle at 4:23 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and the run was made smoothly and without stop, the train entering the Union Station at 5:30. Mrs. Mount returned with the party, and will remain at the Denison Hotel for a few days, arranging her plans for the future. Memorial Meeting Held. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Jan 10. A meeting was held in the courthouse to-day In memory of the late Governor Mount, and was very largely attended. Appropriate resolutions were adopted. Senator Duncan called the meeting to order and William F. Browning was secretary. Addresses were made by Judge Reinhard, Senator Duncan, Judge Martin, Dr. Swain, Dr. R. J. Aley and Prof. W. P. Rogers. AMERICANS TOO FAST THEY SHOULD Ilfl PATIENT WITH THE I1EXIGIITED CHINESE. Interesting Address by Minister Wu Tine Fans Ilefore the Commercial Club of St. Louis. ST. LOUIS, Jan. 19. The distinguished Oriental diplomatist, Wu Ting Fang, was the guest of honor at a banquet given by the Commercial Club at Its palatial headquarters in Lindell boulevard. It was a function that will long be remembered by those participating in it. Good fellowship In all that the term Implies prevailed. The tig banquet hall was tastefully decorated with Chinese and American flags and the tables were banked high with flowers. After the elaborate menu had been discussed, the Chinese minister was Introduced by President Robert Moore. He was accorded an ovation as he arose to speak, and when he closed with a stirring peroration he was vociferously applauded. He took as nis ieme "Commercial Relations with China," and his entire speech hinged upon the term reciprocity. In Mr. Wu's opinion, an "open door" In China was imperative if 3he was ever to take rank with other nations commercially. He advised those present that If the United States desired to do a large business with China she should send well educated young men to his country to learn Chinese customs and manners. Americans, he continued, must be patient with nis benighted nation. They were too fast for the average Chinaman and .wanted results too quickly. If this country wanted Chinese trade it should encourage Chinese merchants and gradually school them in the way of carrying on business relations with foreign countries. China offered a great market for American goods, he said, and if Americans act on the principle of equity they will do a tremendous business with the Oriental empire. Mr. Wu paid a -high compliment to the American people by saying they were a wonderful race. They did things in such a systematic way that the Chinese longed to do business with them on a larger scale. By their ingenuity and by the perfection of their machinery the people of the United States can compete commercially with any country in the world. When he was manager of a railroad In China years ago he bought his supplies in Europe because they could be got cheaper, but times have changed since then. Manufacturers In the United States were now outbidding Europeans for the business and to them the Chinese are turning. His people, he said, were) noted for their commercial integrity. There was no fear of their leaving their contracts unfulfilled. Consequently, he averred, they were desirable people to do business with.

GAINES ON- THE STAND

SAYS HE ONLY ISED HIS KXIFE IN HIS OWX DEFENSE. Murder Trial Opened at Terre Haute Losa and Insurance, in Iloann Fire Kahns Returned to Ohio. Special to th Indianapoll Journal. BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Jan. 19.-The whole of to-day was devoted to the defense in the Thomasson-Galns murder trial. Both men told their story, and Thomasson insisted that his revolver shot was in selfdefense and did not kill Lentz. while Gaines testified that he used his knife to save his own life. Both were given a searching cross-examination and made more than fair witnesses. Thomasson denied that he made any confession to Deputy Sheriff Stone, but admitted that he did make a statement under duress and a promise of mercy, and that what he said was not true, but with the hope of securing clemency. The story of Gaines is outlined the general theory of self-defense. He said If he had not killed Lentz he would have been killed himself. As he and Thomasson were driving out of the barnyard in the Lentz buggy Lentz came up on his bicycle. Gaines tried to get out and get away, he said, but Lentz attacked him. A shot was then fired. Gaines looked around and Lentz was picking up something and a moment later struck Gaines with a stone. Gaines then described the desperate struggle that followed. Lentz was much the stronger, and he beat anu struck Gaines. A kaife was drawn by Gaines. Both tried to use It. Gaines finally got awav from Lentz, saying he would kill him. When he was cut he was frightened and could not tell how it was done. His intention was to get away, as he believed his life was In danger. He only tried to protect himself from bodily harm. Evidence also was Introduced to prove that Lents was very strong and that he had made threats to kill any one if they took his horse and buggy again. The case will not go to the Jury before Tuesday afternoon. Thomasson did not know of the death of his father, and no notice of it was taken in the court proceedings. Put on Trial for Murder. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE. Ind., Jan. 19. Ed High was placed on trial to-day for what was thought to have been a cold-blooded murder last April at Fontanet, when he killed Joe Malinski. His plea is self-defense. The only eye witness, Tom Bullot, a fellow miner of Malinski, said that High went to the house where he and Malinski lived and atked the latter for 15 cents with which to buy beer, and that when Malinski refused High shot him. Other witnesses for the State say High then marched down street threatening to shoot every foreigner in town. There are a good many foreigners in the mines, and as High had a reputation for denouncing. them, they raised a fund to employ lawyers to assist the prosecution. High's father has been a Justice of the peace for many years, and when his son was placed under arrest the father made out the commitment on which he was brought here to Jail. ALMOST A MURDER. Daring; Assault on a Carroll County Farmer for Purpose of Robbery. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LOGANSPORT, Ind., Jan. 19. Thomas McQuary, of Washington township, Carroll county, about fourteen miles from this city, was robbed and assaulted and seriously, if not fatally injured, by two men while driving; home from this city last night. Mr. McQuary , had .been in Loganspert during the day and at about dusk started to drive home. Just as he reached the city limits he was accosted by two well-dressed men who asked that they be permitted to ride. Mr. McQuary made room for them in the wagon, the smaller of the men taking the seat beside him and the other standing up behind. When about three miles from the city, the man on the seat suddenly caught McQuary around the neck and with his free hand struck him in the face with a knife. The blade entered the mouth and glancing downward came out at the point of the chin, inflicting an ugly wound. Almost simultaneously with this the other man struck McQuary on the head. He knew no more until nearly midnight, when he recovered consciousness and found himself near Pipe Creek Falls, about twelve miles from the city, his horse being tied to a tree by the roadside. He managed to get the horse untied and turned its head towards Logansport, where he arrived shortly after 2 o'clock this morning. Going to the police station he related his stcry and a physician was called, who after an examination ordered him taken to the hospital. The effects of the assault nnd the long exposure to the cold had made McQuary's condition serious. At the time of the assault McQuary had $24 In cash and a note for J15 In his pocketbook. These are missing. He gave an accurate discriptlon of his assailants to the police. Sharp Fight with Burglars. LAFAYETTE, Ind. Jan. 19. Edward Dolphin, of Round Grove, probably fatally wounded one of three burglars with whom he engaged, single-handed, last night, and himself received a shot in the left arm.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. COLUMBUS, Ind., Jan. 19.-Benjamin F. Jones, aged seventy-seven years, and a p'.oneer of Columbus, died at the homo of his daughter, Mrs. Bossle Hamilton, In this city early this morning. Mr. Jenes was born in South Carolina In 1824, and came with his parents to thU county at an early age, the family locating at Jonesvllle. At the age of fifteen he camj to this city, where he has since resided. In 1S52 he formed a partnership with William McEwen and William F. Pidgcon and they conducted what was known as the B. F. Jones & Co. Bank. He continued business in this bank for three or four years when he formed a bank under the State law and it was called the Kentucy Stocc Bank, of which he was cashier. This banking institution continued until during; the civil war, when the government, taxed such institutions out of existence. After that the bank of McEwen & Sons was organized and Mr. Jones was made cashier. Mr. Jones severed connection with this bank about thirty years ago. For many years he was a leading Democratic politician, but had no ambition to fill a political office.
