THE ALDRIGE OUTRAGE.
The Preliminary Examination Postponed I'm
til the 9th-Condition Of the Victim.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WINDSOR ILL.,, March LA large crowd of
people assembled in this little city to-day, in the
hope of hearing the evidence in the preliminary
examination of William N. Price, charged with
the outrage upon Georgia Aldridge The case
was called at o'clock, before Squire Baldwin,
and continued till March upon an affidavit of
DR.. G. III. Brunk, stating that Miss Aldridge.
one of the principal prosecuting witnesses, was
unable to appear in court. There is no abate-
ment of the desire, on the part of the people. to
punish anyone who may be proven guilty and
the opinion of the people concerning the accused
remains about the same as il
has from the beginning. All admit
that the circumstantial evidence points rather
strongly towards Price. yet his ardent friends
believe his statement of innocence, and will see
that he is given fair hearing.
States Attorney W. C. Kelly fastened home
to the bedside of his wife, who is seriously i'll.
and Judge Anthony Thornton was not present.
though he will be on hand on the 9th. The de-
tective who caused the arrest places great stress
upon the copy of the original letter which Price
made at his dicration. though he has other strong
points which will be brought out on the
preliminary examination. OF the crowd
assembled in the church to-day, fully one fourth
were ladies. the wives and daughters of the best
families in Windsor and the entire male popu-
lation of the town and surrounding country
were in the church when the case was opened, or
talking about it on the streets adjacent. A
careful examination of the sore spot on the top
of Miss Aldridge's head shows an incentation or
depression in the skull, which shows clearly that
she was rendered senseless by stunning blow
She is kept as comfortable IS possible in an

CINCINNATI. March 1.-The Sun will to-mor-
row contain a long article on the effect of the
recent active warfare of the Law and Order
League of this city on Sabbath dissertation. Ac-
cording to the Sun. the members of the Cincin-
natl Turner'S Association, a powerful Ger
man organization, are thoroughly reused
over what they term interference
with their personal liberty, and they propose to
take active measures in support of their views
on the subject. They intend to employ counsel
to fight the Sunday cases, and, if they lose, they
intend to appeal the cases to the United States
Supreme Court in order to ascertain definitely
the powers of the State in regard to closing
amusements, ETC.. on any particular day in the
week. 1t is also decided that, in case the laws
should be construed in favor of anti-Sabbath
Dissertation, the Turner's should form political
association, and nominate and vote for only men
who are pledged to oppose all religious bigotry.

An Art Gallery.

Mr.. VIM. Lawton's idea Of establishing an
Art Gallery in the new annex to his business

this will afford the general public the oppor-
tunity of seeing item and perhaps Of making
purchase.
No effort has been made in the direction

only method the artists Of Wilmington have
Of making their work known to the public
is by exhibiting their pictures in store win
dows.
This does oil paintings especially a great
injustice. The painting cannot be properly
seen under the circumstances, las the reflection
rom the streets usually intervenes upon the
window glass. 1t is quite matter Of chance
whether pictlre can be seen with any de-
gree of satisfaction at all when placed in a
store window. Properly graduated light
from the right direction is " hat is net ded
and that can be gained only indoor, in an
apartment properly constructed for the pu :
pose Mr. Lawton's intention will be hail
ed with delight by numerous art lovers in
Wilmington and throughout the State.
The choice Of Mr Clauson Hammitt as
manager Of the galary is ain excellent one.
He is well know to the citizens here and we
have not the slightest he iIation in asserting
that We are sure lie will do all justice in
regard to the accepting or rejecting of pic

DisgrunLled MIR. Dean.

Mr.. William Dean, usually good-tem.
pered well meaning man is suddenly become
cross and disgIuntled. He resorts to abuse

some hidden motive that an infuriated temper

from suspectii 6, and what will readily be rec.
ognlzed by outsiders, as being the real bas-
is for his disgruntled disposition.
Mr. Dean says of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad. 81 am as much friend to rail
roads to-day as in 1881, bnt do think that
they might be managed by honorable men,
and if there were any such in the Baltimore
and Ohio Company they were kept in the
background"
The facts are Mr.. Dean asked that railroad
for siding or stem road to his MILL The
cost of it would probably be about $40 000
but, as the officials of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad placed upon the condition of
its construction the proviso that the stem
should extend beyond Mr.. Deans mil to the
business place of another gentleman engaged
somewhat similar manufacturing, Mr..

Total Abstinence.

Each succeeding generation, says an ex-
change, is less able to 'carry the drink" Gas
the saying is) than the former one, therefore
our piesent race Of lads, ualess they are ed
ucated up to total abstinence, will be
more pitiable victims than their fathers are.
All these facts prove the necessity of just
the wor k embraced by the Woman's Christ
ian Temperance Union, the teaching in home
and school, aud church, the Kindergarten
and mission schools. Thauk God, the wom-
Ell, the selfvoiced, the self-denying, are
reused to cry out against the cruel mouster.
We are satisfied that the women have struck
the right remedy, which in time will cure
the evil, providing Legislators, school boards
and intelligent voters sustain and push for
,rd the movement. One might thiuk and
hope that the philanthrop'c Efforts of the
women of our land alone Will overcome and
subdue this, the most destructive and over
vhelmipg evil the world ever knew,
