A FEW YEARS AGO RICKMAN FIGURED IN CASE AT BELLEFONTAINE, OHIO, RECEIVING COAT OF TAR AND FEATHERS. David Rickman, colored, was fined $3 and costs in the city court for creating a disturbance at a north end dance Saturday night. Officer Bundy testified that Rickman was drunk and had threatened to whip him after having made similar threats against the proprietor of the dance hall. Rickman inciignantly denied this charge and stated that all he had had to drink was a growler of beer. He said that he had been invited to dance, but as he only knew the "old fashioned figures" he declined. Rickman stated that he then went home, but returned later with the intention of trying a few "steps." He was met by Bundy and the latter searched him to see whether he was "toting a gun." Rickman stated that no gun could be found and as he started to return home again Bundy hit him with his mace, putting a puncture in his ear drum. Bundy stated that Rickman had "got bad" on the hands of the dance manager and had returned home to get his gun and start trouble. "He was nasty drunk" Bundy stated, and on Rickman's return to the dance Bundy held him up and started to search him. Rickman showed fight, according to Bundy, and as a result Bundy hit him with his hand. It was a hard jolt as the man's ear and shirt front were clotted with blood when he appeared in the city court. Rickman. a few years ago, became notorious by an expprlenee which fell to his lot in Bellefontarne, Ohio. Rickman had been living there with a white woman against the protests of the white residents of that city. One night they organized a, mob. yanked Rickman f?6m his home, and after treating him with a coat of tar and feathers rode him out of town on a pole. Rick man. as soon as hecould shed his unso licited coating, came to Richmond and has lived here ever since. NOTICE TO PYTHIANS. Members of Iola Ixdge.

VOLUME OF VALUE

TU FUTURE STUDENT Luke Woodard's Story of His Life Important Contribution to History. TRANSITION OF QUAKERS. MR. WOODARD FIRST CAME INTODISTINCTION DURING THE FAM OUS "GENERAL MEETINGS" HELD IN SEVENTIES. Commenting editorially on the work of the Rev. Luke Woodard of Fountain City, the American Friend says: Luke Woodard has given us the story of his life in a well-written volume, which we have read with keen Interest. It is the most important ac count yet written by any of the lead ers of the revival movement in our church, and it will be a valuable contribution for the future student of the history of that transition period of Quakerism. "During the early years of my ministry." he writes, "there began what is known as the revival in our church in America a movement which has resulted in a marked change, not in the essentials, principles or doctrines of Quakerism, but in the mode of conducting meetings; in greater activity in the work of evangelizing, both in our own land and in mission Tields in foreign countries; resulting In unnumbered conversions and the increase of many meetings, or churches." He then goes on to tell how the "new Quakerism arose. One of the most interesting incidents of the book is the account of the remarkable "meeting for youth," held in Richmond in 1S60, which marked a turning point in the society, and he relates that an approved minister from Indiana, on a religious visit in the East, soon after this event, was refused a religious "opportunity" in a Friend's family, because' the Friend had heard that the visitor had been at "a meeting in Richmond that continued till midnight where they prayed and prayed one after another!" Luke Woodard himself first came Into distinction in the famous "General Meetings." through which the great awakening was wrought out in the seventies. His most effective field of labor was in the limits of New York Yearly Meeting. His associates were John Henry and Robert W. Douglas, David B. Updegraff and Murray Shipley and other well-known Friends. In these "General Meetings" there was no singing, and there seems to have been little excitement or sensation, but a powerful presentation of the evangelical plan of salvation, which came v.th freshness and gripping appeal to the hearers, especially in rural neighborhoods where the meetings were dying out and where the people were starving for a message. RAILROAD YIELDED TO THE COMMISSION Interlocking Switch Is Being Put in by the, C. R. & Ft. W. Road. COMPROMISE IS EFFECTED. IT WAS FOUND THE BETTER PLAN TO GET ALL THE ROADS INTERESTED TO SHARE IN THE EXPENSE. The Iron hand of the railroad commission of Indiana has once more been shown. Last spring the commission ordered the Cincinnati, Richmond & Ft. Wayne division of the G. R. & I. railroad o have an interlocking switch placed at an Important and dangerous crossing at Decatur. The C. R. & Ft. W. objected to meeting the entire cost of this Improvement and on June 4, last, a suit by this railroad against the Railroad Commission of Indiana, the Chicago & Erie Railroad company and the Toledo. St. Louis & Western Rail road company, commonly known as the Clover Leaf line, was filed in the Wayne circut court. This suit was to set aside the ruling of the commission. Since then the C. R. Ft. W. has found it best to effect a compromise with the other two railroads using the crossing in question and the interlocking switch system is being put in. A Decatur dispatch says: In obedience to an order issued by the Interstate Railway commission some time ago. the Chicago and Erie, the G. R. and I and the Clover Leaf railroads are at present having an interlocking switch syVem placed in rt the junction of the three railroads in the west part of the city, which, when completed, means much toward the safety of the traveling public. A recent legislature passed this law. which is meeting with the approval of every citizen and also to the railroad people themselves, as it means less danger to all concerned. The plant when installed and completed will cost the three railroads the aggregate sum of ten thousand dollars. The plant will be operated from the tower that is now located at the target, and every switch along the line within the city limits will be operated by a lever from this tower, which will be under the supervision r.f itwo pieo. The plant is the latest and
