Klkhart Youth Fall- Under h Freight Train and Come Out Whole. Eighteen to 20 freight cars ran over 10-year-old Charles Dixon of Elkhart about I p. in. Sunday and he snstained no worse injuries than bruises in the face and head, a gash in the cheek, a hole in the back, and numerous minor scratches. He is email for his age and while standing on the bumpers of a car fell between the rails. lie was dazed and remained motionless while the balance of train No. 75 passed over him. Only a few rods from where he fell the pony engine that was shoving the train out of the yard dropped back. Had it continued over the lad the ashpan would undoubtedly have fatally injured him. .V M'W Diocese. Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock the primary convention for the foundation of the new diocese of northern Indiana va9 held and will continue t Michigan City today. The services began at 10 o'clock with a full choral celebration of the holy communion. The choir, priests and bishop in their robes marched to the main entrance of the cathedral and proceeded up the center aisle to the chancel, presenting a beautiful appearance. The holy eucharist was administered by lit. Rev. John Jlazen White. The bishop in his address during this service spoke of the spirit which ought to animate the work of the new diocese and made a plea for unity, harmony and co-operation and pointed out in vigorous language the opportunities open to the church in northern Indiana. At the conclusion of the address Uishop White formally called the convention to order and Dr. Lawrence T.Cole, assistant to the bishop, was appointed secreretary pro tem. JJishop White's call for the convention was then read by the secretary and the roll call showed representatives present from the various parishes and missions. Those present from Plymouth were Hev. W. W. Raymond, John Main, (ieorge II. Thayer, Jr., Geo. W. Vinall and K. W. Thomson. Uishop White then appointed a committee, consisting of Iiev. A. W. Seabrease, of Fort Wayne; Hev. W. W. Raymond of Plymouth; Hon. James S. Dodge of Elkhart, and Chas. E. Graves of Fort Wayne, to consider the necessary steps to be taken for drafting a constitution and canons for the new diocese. On the fifth ballot the convention decided to call the diocese the Michigan City diocese instead of the northern Indiana diocese. Council Proceedings. No decisive action was taken in the Sophia street paving matter Monday evening. The petition was not even referred to, though the committee ap pointed to investigate the Sophia street water mains made their report, which the council accepted. Substantially their report was as follows: The main is laid where it. would be under pave ment. In our judgment it would last four or live years yet but the following recommendation is made. Providing the street is paved there should be a six inch iron main put in from Michigan street to Liberty street, and a four-inch main from Liberty street to east end of present main, these placed as close to the curb as is possible and practical. Several good reasons for the above were added to the report. Mayor Jones appointed Wm. Klinger as night watch. The council ventured no dissenting voice .nd hence Mr. Klinger will probably hold that important position hereafter. A resolution was presented asking hat the Van Pelt addition be disannexed, which was allowed by the unanimous vote of the council. Monds entered by Hollo Oglesbee as city attorney and Wm. Hamlet as city street commissioner were approved and tiled. Some time was consumed by the attendance to minor petitions and other matters too disinteresting for publication. Spring Poetry Ha Arrived, A bunch of spring poetry arrived at the Indeperident ollice Tuesday. The author failed to disclose his identity. We hope he was not ashamed of his own rhapsodies. As an encouragement to his flights of fa'icy, we will credit him with rythm, and a fair ap preciation of meter. The central thought is this. "Man, appreciate your wife, or she may get disgusted with house cleaning, and go back to 'ma.' " We do not want to discourage this spring poet, but as the independent draws the line on poetry, we are obliged to disappoint him. While the Independent objects to publishing poetry, it will offer the sug

gestion that the Spring Poets" practice on stories of "Love" until about May 10th. 15y that time they will be more thoroughly acclimated and better pre

pared for weightv llights. Maple (Iroie Nuiiday-M'liool ton vent Ion. The Sunday school people had a fine day at Maple Grove Tuesday. Tne convention was largely attended, peo pie going from Plymouth, Inwood, Richland, Mt. Olive, and Walnut Grove Sunday-schools. The exercises com menced at 10 o'clock and the day was occupied with discussions of topics pertinent to Sunday-bchool work. At the noon hour an elaborate dinner was spread in the church, provided by fam ilies of that vicinity, to which 150 peo ple paid their respects. "A Study of John's Gospel," by Rev. Thornberry, "Needs of the Sundayschool" by Rev. Wilkison, of Inwood, "A Review of the State County Convention" by Rev. L. S. Smith, and the "(Question Rox" by Mr. John Wiltfong, were the chief features of the day. The music furnished by Maple Grove Sun-day-school was especially fine. This school is noted for its excellent singing. At night Mr. J. W. Parks lectured on "The World'e Sunday-school Convention." The people were well pleased with the success of the day's work. Doatli of (irov I'onieroy. Mr. Grove Pomeroy died Tuesday morning. Mr. Pomeroy was visiting his daughter, Mrs. McNeelyof this city, when he was attacked with a stroke of paralysis last Thursday. Mr. Pomeroy was born on Sumption Prairie, St. Joseph county, Ind., Feb. 2, 1833. He leaves five children to mourn his deatn: Jr.hn Pomeroy, Mrs. Carrie Richsee and Mrs. Anna McNeely of Marshall county, Mrs. Otto Carlisle of Fulton end Mrs. Eflie Dawson of Rarron, Wis. He leaves two brothers, Smith and Wm. Pomeroy, both of this county. His home has been inMentone. Funeral left here at 8 a. m. yesterday when they took him to his daughter's in Fulton county for burial. Kaled a Cheek. Monday afternoon Wm. Powell presented IL E. Ruck with a check on the Novelty for ;?'J.72. Upon examina tion they noticed that it had been changed and in a very bunglesome manner and so they telephoned for Mr. Young to come over. He came at once and the young man confessed that he had raised the check from 34.72 to $'J.72. He had just quit working for the Novelty and was starting for South Rend to drive a hack for Mr. Studebaker. Thematter was quietly dropped. Funeral of Mm. Anna Fedrer. The remains of Mrs. Anna Fedrer arrived Tuesday from Chicago and were taken immediately to the Catholic church where services were held. Mrs. Fedrer was a former resident of this city.

Victor Mann, of Elkhart, aged 22, a member ot Company E, 157th Indiana, is critically ill from an overdose of morphine, and it is not believed he will recover. He bought 10 cents' worth of the drug to relieve him from insomnia and took the whole of it yesterday morning, probably 10 grains. He has fallen into a deep slumber and can not be aroused. Death of .John Lowery. John Lowery, of Hibbard, died Wednesday at seven o'clock, aged 85 years. lie passed through a long and wearing sickness previous to bis death.

A new law increases the salary of judges but no appropriation was made to provide for payment. The new law increases the salary of Judge Capron $500 a year.

Kstiiuates Guessed At. I W. . I . . i . -

j. jvcLuuv.1 a i uoa ucvuieu a quarter column trying to show that some of the publishers have lied about their circu-! lations as shown by the "Headlight " It presumes that the publisher of the Independent gavd the Headlight figures as to its circulation because of the fact that the Headlight people allowed the Democrat to write up its own account of itself. The Democrat has erred in its presumption. The publisher of the Independent was not asked by the Headlight people regarding its circulation, and the write up given this paper was news to him. Had he been given the privilege the Democrat was, he would probably have given himself a writeup more satisfactory to himself at any rate. In doing so, he would not have had nerve sufficient to state that his "publication has always stood ahead of its contemporaries as a literary production" as the Democrat egotistically says of itself. Regarding the circulation of the Independent, the Headlight credits the Weekly Independent with too large a circulation and the Daily Independent with too little. New IJIoeeae OflW-ers. At the Episcopal convention at Michigan City, Rishop White Wednesday named He?. Stewart McKippen, of South Rend, chancellor. The following officers have been named: Treasurer -Walter Vail.
