The South linl Firm Send 300 Anuy Wagona to the ltritish in South Africa. The Studebaker liroe. Manufacturing Co. today made a shipment of 300 wagons which are to go to South Africa to be ueed by th Hritieh army in the war with the ßoers. They were eent from here to New York, and from there they will be taken directly to their destination. These wagons are built very much like the ordinary American army wagons, will carry 6,500 pounds and are to be used for transportation purposes and ambulance wagons. The order, which was received about two months ago, was accompanied by specifications as to what was wanted, but Bume of the features of the American army wagon were adopted by the agent of the British government instead of what the original order called for. South Hend Times. Con n-11 I'rocr eilings. The council was called tr order in regular meeting Monday night by Mayor Jones. After the reading of the minutes of the previous meeting by the clerk the street commissioner made his report of work done during the precading two weeks. The finance committee reported favorably upon the appended li6t of bills and they were allowed. The streets and alleys committee reported a resolution to have the sidewalk in front of C. L. Morris' residence on Sophia street repaired. It was adopted, all members concuiing. The final estimate for the sidewalk along some lots in the Cabell addition in the southwest part of town owned by A. C. Capron were received, and a resolution ordering that amount be placed on the tax duplicate was adopted. Estimates of the cost of the sidewalk along the property by the Urownlee bridge owned by M. SpiesholTer and occupied by David Wiser, were received and the costs ordered to be placed upon the tax duplicate. There being ao further business adjournment was in order. Jiills allowed: M. V.

The Lafayette Times, speaking of the situation of a coadjutor for Bishop Rademacher, of this diocese of the Catholic church, says that "when the application for a coadjutor is approved by the Vatican authorities, the council of the bishop and the diocesan consuitors will meet in Fort Wayne and select three names that they deem worthy of the episcopacy, and such list will be sent Archbishop Elder to Rome. The bishop's council in the Ft. Wayne diocene comprises the Very Revs. John II. Guendling, Fort Wayne, V. G; August Centering, of Fort Wayne; John R. Dinnen, of Lafayette; M. E. Champron, of Logansport, and J. Wiedau, of New Haven. The diocesan consultorb comprise Rev. Father Heuser, of Huntington; Wilkins, Decatur, and Meißner, of l'eru. The prelates in the province of Cin cinnati comprise Archbishop Elder, of Cincinnati, and the bishops of Grand Rapids, Detroit, Fort Wayne, Indian apolis, Columbns, Cleveland, Covington, Louisville and Nashville. These mentioned prelates will meet in Cincinnati and agree on three names to be sent to Rom The list will be made independently of the one framed by the bishop's council and consultors in the Fort Wayne diocese. The Vatican authori ties may select a name for coadjutor from either list, or it may make an appointment of a person on neither. It is idle to speculate as to the person likely to be selected. As a proof of this it will be recalled that Rishop Rade raacher was appointed to the see of Nashville in 1883, vhile he was pastor of St. Mary's church, in Lafavette. There have been three bishops of Ft. Wayne, viz.: Rt. Rev. John II. Luers. appointed in 1858; Joseph D wenger, 1871, and Joseph Rademacher, 188. Vow to Avenge) an Attack. Ronrbon, Nov. 28. Dr. Daniel Weiser was severely injured Sunday evening while watching for thieves. Weiser caught some thieves a couple of weeks ago in his barn, and, hearing a noise Sunday evening, he started out to investigate. He was struck on the head with a sandbag, suffering serious wounds. He was still staggering from the effects of the blows when he entered his office. His father, also a physician, at once started in pursuit of the outlaws with his revolver, declaring

that he cared not whether he lived or died, but would shoot the man who waylaid his son. Dr. Weiser claims that he knows the guilty person and will severely deal with him when able to be out.

KAILKOAI) ACCI DENT, Four Cars and Engine Thrown from the Track at l'ierceton. There was a serious accident on the Pennsylvania line at Pierceton Monday. A freight train was backing from a side-track on to the main line when another train occupying the latter track started up and caught a portion of the foimer train, throwing four cars down an embankment at that point, besides overturning the engine.

Kuhn of this city, to Miss Edith Rurkett, of Warsaw, occurred at high noon Wednesday. It was held in the First Methodist church at Warsaw, the pastor ot that church ofiiciating. A large number of friends from this city attended the ceremonies, which were exceedingly impressive and dignified. The church was decorated with (lowers, and the bride dressed in a handsome white costume, carried in her hand a bouquet of light Mowers. Adolph Kuhn, brother of the groom, acted as beet man, while the bride was attended by twelve ladies in waiting. Two exquisitely rendered soprano solos were eung during the early part of the ceremony. The groom is a well respected young man of Plymouth who has spent much of his life here, and for some time been assisting his father in conducting a clothing store. The bride is a highly gifted young lady of Warsaw and a niece of Dr. Rurkett (ft this city, who has in her frequent visits here made many friends. A wedding trip to Chicago has been contemplated after which they will go to housekeeping iu the Reeve property just north of the home of Chas. Reeve on Michigan street. L.argv A mo Mi t Due. A dispatch from Indianapolis says: The suit of Indiana against the Vandalia railroad company to recover 82,500,000 claimed as due the state school fund under the company's charter, on trial before Commissioner Rut ler in the federal court, has assumed definite shape on account of the expert's report and the state's attorney's claim. The evidence and report show there is due the state 32,011,000. hey claim the railroad company, during the last six years it operated under its special charter and exercised the right to fix its own rates, earned an annual income of from 18 per cent to 33 per cent on the original cost of constructing the road and kept it all, though its charter permitted it to divide only 15 per cent among its stockholders GoNhen Taper Has .Suspicions. Monday's Goshen Democrat sayn: "A Chicago Record dispatch from Valparaiso today says that Specht, Finney fc Skinner's store in that city was robbed of 8800 worth of 6ilks Saturday night. "From this it is to be inferred that the gang of silk robbers is still at work in this section. All the efforts of the officers to capture these thieves seem to be of no avail. Opinion prevails that tue silks stolen in South Rend, Elkhart, Goshen and Valparaiso go to the same place and that place is supposed to be South Rend. Yet the otlicers cannot gain the slighest clue. Withal it must be accepted that the gang of silk thieves is composed of clever people. They apparently cannot be outwitted." News from V. 11. Carpenter. Ed Carpenter received a letter from W. H. Carpenter Tuesday. He and his wile are now at Flagstaff, Arizona, where they expect to stay for two weeks. They are living at a very great altitude aud Mr. Carpenter finds much difficulty in breathing so that they may be compelled to go farther west sooner than they at present anticipate.

N EXT YEAR'S DI NKARIIS' MEETING

The Contract Signed for Holding It at North Manchester. All questions concerning the location of the great annual meeting of the Dunkard church of America next year was dispelled yesterday, when the church committee signed the agreement with the citizens' committee at North Manchester for holding the gathering there. Ry the terms of this contract the meeting is to be held in Harter's grove, at that place, commencing May 29, 1900. The local church agrees to trect all the buildings needed and furnish water, electric light, police and waiterp gratis. It also agrees that transient lodging rates in the town shall not exceed 25 cents per night and that translers to and from the grounds will be 5 cents. The local Dunkard churches will be tendered free for committee work and the other denominations have offered the use of their edifices, without charge, for regular services. There will be free telephone service, local and long-distance, and the Wabash railroad will put in a 500-foot platform and will stop its trains at the grounds. The Rig Four will build a board walk from its station to the grounds. Ilanna to Retire. A special dispatch from Columbus, O. to the Cleveland Leader, looked upon as the inspired organ of the administration in Ohio, announcep that Senator Hanna will retire as chairman of the national republican committee, and that Colonel Charles Dick, of Ohio, will succeed him. This is the meat of the information from Columbus: Senator Ilanna will not be chairman of the national committee which will be chosen at the next national convention. This is his own determination. Nothing could induce him to confront rheumatism and the resp( nsibilities of a national campaign at one and the same time. Not even the earnest solicitation of the president will change this determination. Rut no statement to this effect may be expected from Senator Hanna for sometime. In accordance with precedent, the chairman, will be named by the nominee for president. President McKinley has not yet canvassed the field of possibilities. The national convention will be held m Chicago in June. Over half the members ot the committee have been heard from, and favor thid place and time. The delegates-at-large from. Ohio will be Senators Foraker and Ilanna, Gov. Nash and State Chairman Dick. No attempt will be made to displace Chas. L. Kurtz from membership in the national committee, and he will serve, if he so chooses, until the committee ceases to exist in J une. Clergymen's renn its. The railroads make a radical change this year in the matter of clergymen's permits. The application this year costs one dollar, instead of 50 cents as heretofore. The agents can now certify only to local clergymen and missionaries. Commencing Jan. 1, 1000, the use of the present form of card clergy certificates will be entirely discontinued, and in its stead will be issued a book certificate, containing in addition to the conditions heretofore appearing on the card certificate, 100 consecutively numbered requests, one of which the holder of the certificate will be required to fill up, sign and deliver to the ticket agent for each ticket purchased. Traveling I'mler DirticultleK. Goshen Times: A couple in destitute circumstances arrived in the city Friday evening from Flint, Mich., with twin babies 11 months old. They stopped at the Ilattle and Saturday morning the husband notified the landlord that he had no money with which to liquidate his bill for lodging and breakfast. A number of Goshen parties were made acquainted with the family's pitiful condition and they were cared for while here and the township trustee made arrangements for their transportation south to their destination. Special Meeting!. There was a good sized congregation present Tuesday night and the interest was excellent. Rev. Mr. Shirey preached a powerful sermon on "Regeneration." It was a most timely discourse, and a most earnest and able plea for men and women to turn unto Christ and be saved. The scripture reading in the afternoon was a precious and blessed feast to those who were present. Such opportunities ought not to be missed by christian people. Death of Cllflord Florau. Clifford Gale Floran, the little sou of Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson Florae, died at 7 o'clock last night at their home on West Jefferson street, after an illness of less than one week with membraneous croup.
