FORMER PLYMOUTH ITE WEDDED. Albrt Kreighbaam, Formerly of This City, Joined In Wedlock to Miss Al vina Machel, of South Bend. ETerett Fields returned last night from South Bend, where he had been in attendance at the marriage ceremony of Albert Kreighbaum to Miss Alvina Machel. Everett acted as best man and reports a very pretty wedding, a larirö retention and a snlendiJ weddins O LT X o - . a suDDer. The South Bend Tribune 01 veaterdav savs? - - "There was a very pretty wedding in the German M. E. church, corner ot Lafayette and Wayne streets, at 8 o'clock last evening. The church was

bride and groom, Miss Alvina Machel. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Aucrust MaM,p1 and Mr Alhert k'reicrhhaum J one of South Bend's young business men, entered the church attended by Miss Wolf, of Laporte, Miss Kreighhum, sister of the groom, Mr. Oren. Hoover and Mr. Everett Fields, the Misses Kose and Lilla Fosdick, who officiated as ushers, and little Sadie May, of Mishawaka, as Mower girl, They were met at the altar by the pastor of the church, the Rev. F. C. Greutzmacher, who spoke the solemn words that made them one. From the church the bridal party and a large number of guests repaired to the residence of the bride's parents, 615 West Water street, where a reception was held and the weddine supper was served. The house decorations were llowers and autumn leaves and the table was decorated with myrtle and roses. The bride's gown was white silk trimmed with lace. Ir. and Mra. Kreighbaum left last evening for a visit to Fort Wayne and on their return will make their home temporarily with the bride's parents. Among the guests from abroad were Miss Minnie Uerger, of Walkerton, Mr. Ar thur Iiixon, of Laporte and Will Vangilder, of Plymouth. The Cioose Hone. It is at the present season of the year that the wiseacres, esneeiallv those who follow out the mysterious si ens of the mrnhiKk tti nbviioa! r-nnrlitinn nf the woochuck, etc., come to the front and predict the conditions tobe contended with during the coming winter. AVhile we allow them due credit for the power of discemine the conditions of the future weather, we are constrained to give the "goose bone" theory a front seat, and let those who advocate this mode of weather prediction have a full share of the credit due them, especially when such men as Hicks, Foster, yes, and Wiggins, have built up such an enviable (?) record. Being of a generous nature, we will give our reader the benefit of our researches regarding this "goose bone' theory, discovered after hours of menta1 toil through the numerous channels known only in the black art. We will suppose we have in our possession the breast bone of a defunct goose, and proceed - to scientifically I dissect it. The first thing to do after thoroughly cleaning this last spring goose breast, (it is important that it should be a last spring goose), and di- J vide it into three equal parts to represent December, January and February, Theboneifof a clear translucent hue when held up to the light, denotes that the weather will bj mild and pleasant; price of coal stationary. But if the bone is covered with cloudy blots, it is a never .failing sign that it will be gloomy and cold. The heavier the blot, the colder will be the weather and a sure sign to bank on the rapid rise of i ne coal barometer. Now a careful study of this year's goose bone gives the following result.as announced by a prominent geomancer. The weather for December will be cloudy and gloomy, probably with much snow; not exiremeiy com, out a aisagreeable condition of affairs that creates a desire in the breast of those afflicted with the catarrh to wear a bib. About the last of December.we will in all probability have some very severe weather. The month of January will bo noticabta for its extreme cold weather, February will be more pleasant and spring-like, but toward the latter part of the month, especially in a locality where a close political contest is looked forward to, the atmospherical de mon 8trandum will be varied, and in all probability along the Pacific coast, a tidal wave of no mean proport.ons will u uu. preimrauoua O1o Wu,B iuouc tu uiOTk vucwtuaujjCT Several months aoroG.

The Fool Killer 1 Certainly Deserving of Censure for Failure to Exercise Tacitly Conceded Prerogative. 11U When we are out looking for a fool commend us to the idiot of the Bour bon News. If there is any one man that has taken particular pains to ad vertise the fact broadcast over Mar shall county that he is hare brained it is the editor of the Bourbon News. It can be said of some people that they are unbalanced, but no such comnli ment can be paid to a man who does nnt. aivp imitation nf pvph having had I q. ...v..v,v. v... w - ... . . . weicrht enoucrh in his intellectual makenn to hav l.ppn crratlv disturbed in I tr - r J equilibrium ile has just sense enough fun almost to the burstto putt himself up ing point with exaggerated ideas of the sting and virulence of his own venom belligerent reptile.

He succeeds in creating disturbances in the community where his snarlings are heard. The general public hears it as it would hear any other contemptible trilling nuisance. As a manufacturer of lies Carter is pro lific, but not consistent. He lies more from perversity of nature than from any definite purpose. He lies without reason and spins out yarns that have neither judgment or reason merely because these things are in harmony with his character. The trouble is, that he cannot help it, in which case lie is irresponsible and we take this occasion to warn the people of Marshall county, through the columns of the Indepen dent, to put no faith in the things that eminate from Frank Carter; if they do they will be misled and annoyed with out adecpuate cause, lhe warning is timely, and we trust that the people of this COUllty WÜ1 take it ill good faith because it is meant for the benefit of all concerned. Carter runs a renegade sheet because it is his nature to do it, and though he tried ever so hard, he probably could edit no other kind of a PaPer SENSATIONAL. RUMOR. A Man Front Muxkegou Claims to Know the Kxiu t Location of the Lost C'hicora. Ever since the wrecking of the Chicora last winter numerous reports have been given out regarding the location of the wreck. A man by the name of F. A. Makin, in an interview with an Inter Ocean reporter gives the fol lowing "I was on one of the tugs when the Graham & Morton company were drag ging the lake for the Chicora. Two tugs - one was the Tramp, the name of the other I don't remember when dragging the chain caught along the lake bottom. The chain caught on some obstruction too heavy to lift and broke. A diver was sent down to see what it was. As soon as he came up before his armor was removed, he was taken directly down to the cabin, where the officials of the company were. When the diver came on deck, and was asked what he found, he laughed and said oh, it was only a stump or something of that kind. I was satistied then and am now, that he found the Chicora and received nis instructions when in the the cabin to keep his mouth shut." ine iranam sc Morton company state that the story of Makin is untrue in substance and detail. It is generally conceded that the wreck of the Chicora lies somewhere southwest of St. Joseph, probably within twenty miles of there, out me exact location is Known to no man and perhaps never will be. The machinery in the Chicora's hull is worth as much or more than the original value of the cargo, and the public may rest assured that if the Graham & Morton company knew where to look for the wreck they would wraste no time, nor spare no expense in an effort to raise it.

This is a right and proper move in (recognition of the generous spirit by which all Mr. Culver's works are characterized. It is now proposed to take immediate steps to have the name of the postoilice changed to that of the village.

OVER A MILE A MINUTE.

I The Pennsylvania Sets the Pace Without Special Effort. Some days ago attention was attracted to a fast run made by a special train carrying the General Manager and other officers of the Pennsylvania Lines from Chicago over the Fort Wayne Koute. The official time shows a high rate of speed was attained, although no special effort or preparations had been made to establish a record. The trip was not for that purpose, but it demonstrated that the Pennsylvania can easl,y set tne Pace wnen it conies . I rn toct running "ot in.. It was exactly t:öl A. m. when Engi neerWm.Heliker took his position in the cab of enSine -l ia Chicago I nion station. Municipal regulations require slow running within the city li mits, and the train moved slowly for quite a distance. An open bridge on the Calumet Iliver caused a four-minute dela aml lne best part ot an hour liaa I'4 uumL iasi ,ü,l,,B w Jb IMU,UI At larke Junction a a lively giit was struck, .he distance of over eight miles between that point and L iverpool being covered in eight minutes. A crossing stop at Wanatah caused more delay but the strech ot over six miles from that station to II anna was passed in live minutes. The distance of over fourteen miles between Hamlet and Plymouth was run in fourteen minutes It was exactly a.m. when Plymouth was reached, and after a live minute stop the train shot off at lightening speed. Another crossing stop at Warsaw took up more time, and it was thirty-five minutes afler twelve noun when the train came to a standstill at Fort Wayne, having made the US mile J run from Chicago in two hours and forty-four minutes,about fifty-four miles an hour i'hiding delays, making the actual running time a mile a minute or better the entire distance. Twelve minutes were taken up in changing engine at Fort Wayne, and at 12;4T noon Engineer II. Hogers started the train with engine No. TO. Before the train was a dozen miles, a speed of over a mile a minute had been attained. The four miles between Monroeville and Dixon were run in three minutes, and the pace was just getting warm when the crossing at Van Wert necessated another stop. At Delphos and Upper Sandusky additional stops were caused by crossings, followed by a live minute delay at Nevada. At twelve minutes past three, Crestline was reached, two hours and twenty-five minutes after leaving Fort Wayne. The 131 miles between those stations was run at a rate of nearly fifty-five miles an hour, counting crossing stops and the live minutes lost at Nevada. The actual speed was over a mile a minute. Autumn AVinUs ltlow. The soughing, wailing and dismal howling of the Autumn winds are abroad in the land in the season to which they belong. Dead brown leaves in myriads and millions are scurrying before these vapor- laden winds, whir ling, eddying, pausing here and a moment and starting again like frightened birds to pause farther on and repeat their evolutations, gyrating, rolling, dancing, leaping, Hying hither and thither in search of a final resting place with mother earth where, by the mystery of nature's alchemy they will un dergo a magic metamorphosis in process of conversion to substances of nourishment for life that is yet to be. And the autumn wind, like a mournful pallbearer, is chanting its funeral dirge and wailing its lamentation as it moves along. But the same wind, as a gentle hope w hispering spring wind will with the evolution of the seasons come again with promise pregnant with the beauties of summer, and the contrast will make it more welcome a hundred fold. An 1 in porta lit Killing. James Anderson, of Kankaken townshir LaPorte countv in 18U"1 sued two roa(1 supervisors for taking soil from the road in front of his farm and hyulmg it to another part of the county, judge Noyes decided against Anderson and the case was taken un to the annftllatft mnrt. although Mr Anderson W1S viVM thft in for . ,imn. ti. appeIlate court reserved ,Tudge yoyes decision. The court's ruling shows that supervisors may remove soil or gravel from one location to another on the same man's land in working the roads, but it must not bo taken onto another man's propety without permission of the person from whose property the soil is taken. The case against Uem and Stephens will now come up in the Pforte circuit court and there is no doubt hat Anderson will ho allowed ' ----- ' " damages. Other like cases will follow. toshen Democrat.

The early prayer meetings were all well attended and so were the usual hours of Sunday morning worship. The denominational side of the Endeavor movement was emphasized, each church having its regular services, The auditorium where the convention was held was decorated handsomely in their colors, bine and white, and amongst all the colors which show respect to us all were the stars and stripes which were hung cn each side of the rostrum. The new woman was commented on and Dr. Clark says there is not only a new woman, but a new man, referring to this saying as a thought on the text of which he was talking. In the afternoon standing room was at a premium at the rink. The subject or topic which was talked about was "The World of Christ." alter which Mr. K. O. Excel!, gave a missionary Song sei vice al ter which followed sevtral prayers for missions. A silk banner was presented to the Twelfth district Junior Knueavorers.by 1 'resident Kirkpatrick for the largest addition of junior societies the number being seventeen with a total of 20 1 and a membership of over 7,U!J0. On the Velvet side of the banner, the words 'Indiana duuiors, Twelfth District," and on the otiier the words ' Indian i State C. E. Union." It was a gift from Mrs. Hageman's olTered as superintendent al the beginning of the year. The closing meeting at the rmk in the evening, Idled the hall to over tlowing again and those wh; did not reach the hall before "o'clock were compelled to attei d the overllow meeting at the M. E. Church. It seems as though the members that were expected to have attended this convention, did not appear and consequently dissapomied the leaders considerably, yet the general expression of delegates was that the people of (Jreensburg had treated them with marked hospitality and that the convention was no less a success than fo.mer ones except in the sove.ewhat diminished numbers. Newspaper ShotiM Jive I'iihiael Keport In comment on the practice of news papers in discussing the guilt or inno cence of a party accused of crime, the Indianapolis Sentinel holds to the pelief that it is wholly outside the bounds of good judgment. The opinion is given as the outcome of the llinshaw murder trial. The Sentinel says: A newspaper may properly report the evidence and arguments made before the jury, and there it should stop. After the trial is over it may properly discuss the fairness of the trial and the justice of the verdict. In what the Sentinel has to say of criminal cases no one can truthfully accuse it of sickly senti mentality or maudlin sympathy with persons accused of crime. No paper in the state has more often condemned the pardon of persons who have been fairly convicted. None has more often protested against the release of criminals on mere technicalities and iniormalities. None has more earnestly denounced the release of those of whose guilt there was reasonable evidence to justify a trial. But there are two opjects of the criminal law. One is tbe punishment of the guilty and tbe other the protection of the innocent and in this case it seems plain to us that both have failed. If llinshaw is innocent, as we think he has been proven, the guilty parties are at large and unpunished. If he is innocent one hardly dares to think )f the awful wrong that has been done to him and to the young girl whose name his been brought into this case. AVe do not see how any citizen can pass this case with mere curiosity. It presents a mystery which ought to be cleared up. The lloosier l'oet.

Among the applications the cement could bo used to keep col l or heat in a room, pipe or other reeeptac. A cork concrete floor completely deadens sound, as in a library or for partitions between offices. Where troublesome vibration occurs, as near running machinery, cork composition may be used with advantage. As to elasticity, the walls of a powder factory were ronstructc-d of the material, later an explosion occurred, the cork partitions (after greatly slackening the vibrations), tumbled to piece.-:, reducing the damage and loss of life to ? minimum. As to lightness, as in high building construction, cork brick is superior to porous brick, having a specific gravity of only .CS, against .70 of br:cK. As a water proof material it is adapted to cellars, basement? bath rooms, etc. Cork brick is nearly lire proof, giving off smoke, but no name. ME MISSED THE FIRE. The CiiiliJ Coii! Not I inl rt :n-l Jl !"!! Not Awakfii. About the eofUn in which rested the body of the fireman sat a silent group of mourners. No one had spoken and i the widow was resting her head on her father's shoulder, when the door opened. A little child, the 4-year-old daughter of the dead man, ran cheerily in. She had on her flowing white night dress. She climbed a chair and looked at her father lyinp: pallid and still. "What's the matter with papa?" she cried. "Sh-h-h!" they said, softly. "He is asleep, darling. "Why does he lie in that ugly old box?" "lie can sleep better there, little one. Don't disturb him. Now go back to bed. like a jrood little girl." The child moved away slowly. "Good-night, papa," she said, in a low voice, and soon was tucked away again. The silence of the night was suddenly startled by the harsh clangor of the gong in the fire house just a few doors away as it sounded the alarm. The thrilling call was ringing the second time when the fireman's daughter flew into the room again. Again she climbed upon the chair, and shook her father's body by the shoulder. "Wake up, quick, papa!" she said. "There's a fire," Still he did not move or open his eyes. The strange looks of those about the bier frightened her. ' r . .1 i .. yju, i'ip, uu wane up. cant you hear the bell? You'll miss the fire." The baby looked around in wonder, Then she tried her parting shot, which she was sure would bring her father quickly to his feet. "You'll miss the fire," she exclaimed. "Then you'll be fined." Even then he did not move. Puzzled and worried, the child turned around. "Papa will not go to the fire tonight," Faid her mother. In a tearstrained voice. Then the widowed mother burst into tears. Repeating that she couldn't understand, the child was quietly carried back to bed, to cry herself asleep again. Not So Funny Atter All. Two little fellows struck a mine of amusement one day last week and worked it for all it was worth. Tneir plan was to stand at the street corner and when a pedestrian got in good range they called out excitedly, pointing to the victim's fect: "Say! You dropped your foot-steps!" It was great fun for the boys. Presently an old lady approached the corner. Sbe was fat and looked important. The boys hugged themselves in sheer delight. This time, to prolong the enjoyment, they began: "Say, missus! 'Scuse us, but you dropped something!" "Dear me! What? Such nice boys, I'm sure." And she stopped and picked up a silver quarter lying directly before her and sailed on. Ail Inducement. Sunday School Teacher "You know your lessons perfectly this time, Tommy." Tommy "Yes'm.

THE LAW AND THE WHEEL. Legal Statu of tin I.leyele Accord ii to .?nIii;il Decisions.

! The use of the hicvcle for the nurnost. of locomotion and travel is so recent that as yet there is little adjudication as j to the rights c.nCi liability of travelers employing it upon the highway, Lut the trend of judicial authority seems to plate the wheel on a plane of equality with other vehicles. The early advent of the bicycle met with strenuous opposition, both from pedestrians and agencies of the road, the former contending that it was a vehicle and sl.o iid ; be excluded from the sidewalk, vu 1 the : latter asserting that it was an obj : of terror, the use of which was peri'u i -: in that it frightened horses. Put by :- grees this child of adversity le::!: i ! he recognized by the courts and its ! u ..' status to be established. Phk:!1 i j paternity was e stablished and it w;i1 placed in the category of carriaui-s . :: : vehicles. Although Illackstone. Co..and other common law jurists nee r ; experienced the sensation of a spin ou ; a bicycle, yet. wo look to the law of niotner country lor the crlie.t j involving the law of ths wh-v!. ; author:;.-, almost without e.i : now recognize the bicycle as a I rlage" or "vehicle" entitled to r;1 j rights of carriages and vehicles in n I eral, and no longer regard it as an o jStruetinn to, or an unreasonable u ; of the street? or roads, but rather a r. : and improved method of using same, and "germane to their principal j use as a pathway." One Taylor, an Englishman, was the first to lake th j bicycle into court, and the case ot T.iyi lor against Gocnlwin is a leading one. ! Mr. (locdwin sprinted on a certain io. I ! in violation of a statute making the I furious driving cf a carriage upon ths highway an offense. Upon the trial he did not deny the allegation ot" immoderate speed, but contf nded that the bicycle was not a '"carriage" and that ih" word "driven" as ordinarily undersioo 1 was not applicable to the bicycle, an i that the mere fact that it had wheds ; did not make it a carriage anv more than a wheelbarrow or roller skates. But the court was of tliG opinion that it was a carriage in the full sense of the word, and that persons riding it may b : said to "drive" it in the sene that an engineer drives an engine, alth nnh u guides as well as propels it. Ji.veftig-i-j tion disclor .s similar American atnhm iI ties. In applying the established law j of the road to the wheel, probably it U j not entitled to the dignity of a carriage, j and while there is no authority for the I statement, it seems that the whe- lm -n j in riding on the road should be govene l j by the immemorial usage and cust y.: . applicable to horsemen.

During the fire at the Gilbert S. Graves starch works on Court s'reet, Buffalo the other morning Assistant Chief Murphy did what not one man in 1,000 would do if he could. The assistant chief saw emoke pouring from the windows of the third floor, and as no truck had arrived and it was absolutely necessary for some one to get to the seat of the trouble at once, he determined in some way to get to the third floor without waiting for a ladder. Tho doors and windows of the first floor were tightly closed, but the windows all over th building were guarded by horizontal iron bars. Seeing but one possible means to attain his end Murphy climbed up the grating on a window of the first floor and was Just able to reach the lowest bar on the second story window. Seizing this bar he drew himself up till in the same way he had reached the window on the third floor, the bars of which he also climbed, to see a big pile of blazing material in one corner of the room. The bars over the window were of heavy iron, close together and fastened to the window casings with long bolts and screws. Murphy thrust one arm around two bars and with the other hand wrenched from its fastenings the upper bar, tearing bolts and screws bodily from the side of the building. Through the small opening thus made he crawled into the room and soon was able to see the flames extinguished. This feat is most remarkable in view of the fact that less than two years ago Murphy broke both his arms in falling through a hatchway in a building on Elk street market, an injury that will be felt by him as long as he lives. ThU U I.nol.f. In explanation of the hot wave tiif wcather man says: "This storm center is what is called a Mow.'

This very simple and graphic explanation illustrates the absurdity and uselessness of indulging in profanity when such a lucid explanation "may bo had for the asking. Chicago Tiraes-IIcrald.
