Keeling's Troubles Thickening.

Warrants were yesterday issued for the arrest
of John Keeling who fought Rash Saturday
evening, bombarded his wife's house some hours
later, and drove through the streets at a mad
speed. Fast driving, malicious trespass and
assault and battery with intent to kill are the
charges against him. On the latter charge he
was arrested by deputy sheriff. and gave bond
in the sum of $500 to answer in the Criminal
Court to the information fled against him by
Prosecutor Harding The other warrants the
police will serve. On Saturday evening Keeling
surrendered to Esquire Pease and gave bail to
answer a charge simply of assault and battery
yesterday. The prosecutor, however, asked the
magistrate to dismiss the case, which he refused
and bound him over for further trial in a small
sum, without the State being represented. The
prosecutors wish was to have Keeling tried in
the Criminal Court for intent to kill. If he is
fined by Esquire Pease and then tried in the
Criminal Court on another charge growing out
of the same offense, Keeling's attorney, no
doubt, will use the magistrates finding for all it
is worth
Keeling to vary the monotony of lis freaks
bought two ounces of laudnum yesterday after
noon, and went about town bidding friends
goodbye. He came to Turnkey Tatfe, who took

A CONGREGATIONS JUBILEE.
Members of the First Methodist Protestant
Church Rejoice Over Their Good Fortune.

Last night the congregation of the First
Methodist Protestant Church, corner of Dillon
street and Hoyt avenue. held jubilee meeting
over the event of clearing the Indebtedness Of
the church. The pastor, Rev. John Helm.
preached a short discourse upon the text "Who
is willing, then to consecrate his service this
day unto the Lord!" He referred to the building
of tie first temple by David, who desired mag
nifcent place of worship, and contrasted the
temple of earth and clay with the spiritual temple
OF immortal beings. Besides the work Of erect
ing temples to the name of God the pastor
claimed another and higher duty of man is to
consecrate his soul to the Omnipotent One.
Rev. S. H. Lowden, of Shelby county, secre-
tary of the board of Church Extension, then
gave short account of the building Of the
church, and its financial struggles. The church
was constructed about five years ago. by order
of the Indiana Conference. which agreed to fur
nish all the money needed for its erection. But
the conference failed to abide by its promises
after the church was completed. and the matter
was taken up by the active members, who, by
working hard, collected by subscription all but
81 600, which had to be borrowed of Joseph j.
Amos. of Rushville. Amos took mortgage on
the church to secure the debt which has until
the last few days remained unpaid Lately he
gave notice that he would dispose of the church
if not paid the amount due him. This aroused
the congregation, which again resorted to the
subscription list, raised the money and paid off
the last cent
A regular programme was carried out during
the evening. Good singing was rendered; the
church was lastly decorated with flowers, and
a huge stone crock was set upon the altar in
which the mortgage to be burned before the
public gaze but it was decided upon full consid-
Grafton, to preserve the document in the archives
of the church. At the close of the meeting
lawn festival was held on the church grounds.
The pastor and his congregation were naturally
feeling very good over the improved condition of
affairs and both feel newly inspired to work and
worship. The annual conference Of the church
will meet next Wednesday at Groveland, Put
nam county.

The Product of Conjecture.

The annual meeting of the Northern Pacific
corporation next month gives rise to some spec
ulation, and there are various stories of the
efforts of Vanderbilt Gould, the Rock Island
railroad and other powers to get control to
''reinstate Willard, or to give the ascendency to
Mr.. Billings or to Mr. Wright of Philadelphia.
These stories apparently are mostly the product
of conjecture. The Northern Pacific is big
corporation, and its stock is widely scattered,
though it may be doubted if Mr.. Willard will
bring homo large amount of proxies from
Europe The road is doing we'll, the country
tributary to it is raising big crops this year. and
it is not clear what would be gained by over
throwing the regime of Robert Harris, the pres
ent president The fact that Mr.. Gable, of the
Rock Island road, is enjoying trip along the
Northern Pacific does not necessarily imply that
he will come home with it in his pocket or that
the Union Pacific is to gather it in because Traf
fic Manager Kimball is making a health and
pleasure seeking trip over the line

The Proposition Gaining Friends.

''The pioneers and others who have taken an
active and successful part in the introduction of
stan dard time" says the Boston Herald. have
nil along acknowledged that the system of time
notation now in general use which divides the
day into two parts of twelve hours each, begin
ming and ending at midday and midnight, is
altogether contradictory and confusing, and is
cumbersome, because III noting the hours, which
are repeated every day, they have to DO ex-
planned as either ante-meridian or post NERD
Ian. The railway officials have been most alive
To this anomalous condition of things, because
they have found as great difficulty in making up
their time schedules as the public usually have
in deciphering them. Railroad men. therefore,
would be a unit for the adoption of the twenty
four hour system" Doubtless the Herald Is
correct IN this statement. At the meeting of
the American Society of Civil Engineers,
on the 2lst of last January, the
committee on standard time reported
that since the june previous they had
communicated with large number of prori
nent men n all parts Of the country, and found
81 per cent OF them decidedly of the opinion
that the hours should be counted in single
series, from zero TO twenty four. Replies from
railway officials representing over so 600 miles of
road were also received favoring the change.

agents on those roads to discontinue

Time to Select Men Who Will Accept.


1t is now said to be questionable whether j.
". Midgley will accept the position of assistant
traffic manager of the Central Traffic Associa-
ton. The manager of Chicago road is quoted
by the Chicago Times as saying, regarding the
appointment, that Orland Smith is gentleman
of no gr eat fame il the railway world although
having had some valuable experience in various
capacities. But he was never dreamed of or
mentioned as an aspirant and there is some
motive for his appointment that does not appear
on the surface The choice of Mr.. j. W. Midgley
as assistant commissioner is regarded
absurd that one is left to doubt the accuracy of
the news. He is at present the commissioner of
the Southwestern Railway Association, one of
the most important pools in the country. He is
acknowledged to be one of the brightest railroad
men in the country, student of railroad prob
lems a clear thinker, endowed with executive
ability, and in his profession the peer of Fink,
any of the more prominent railroad com
mssioners. To ask him to resign independ-
ent position in the strongest and mostsuccessful
pool in the country. to accept subordinate
place in an association that is itself subordi
nate and sort of fifth wheel to the eastern
trunk line COACH is regarded by the Chicago
managers too ridiculous to be thought of.
