Murderous Fight at New Washington.
Lexington Special.
A bloody fight between FIVE men occurred at
New Washington, near here, late on Saturday
night. Their names are William Hooker,
John Dugan, William Colvin. William Poole
and his father 1t appears that Dugan and
young Poole became engaged in fight, and the
father of Poole rushed in and knocked Hooker
down. All of the men then began fighting,
and in the encounter young Poole was stabbed
at least dozen times in the back He called
for help and the other men were separated.
Poole started TO walk away. but fell to the
ground in an unconscious condition, and it is the
opinion of the physicians that he cannot possibly
recover. 1t is not positively known who did the
cutting.
The others also sustained injuries. Dugan
was bit in the mouth with brick and had four
front teeth knocked out. One of Colvin's hands
was terribly bitten, and Hooker's nose was
broken and the sight of one eye destroyed. As
yet none of the parties have been arrested. Not
- man in the crowd was drunk or had been
drinking.

Semi-CentennfaI Session of the Bethel Bap-

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LivoNIA, Aug. 30.-The semi-centennial ses-
sion Of the Bethel Baptist Association composed
OF the Baptist churches of Washington, Clark
and Floyd counties, was held Aug 27-30, with
the Millcreek Church. in Washington county.
The venerable Elder William Mccoy. Of New
Philadelphia, was chosen moderator of the asso-
citation. Elder Mccoy was present at the organ
ization IF the association, and has never missed
a meeting since in all the fifty years large
part of the time he has been moderator. This ven
cradle man is known and loved all over southern
Indiana. He has during his ministry baptized
about one thousand converts and married nearly
three hundred couples. He was ordained to the
ministry at Salem, in 1874, and took pastoral
charge Of the Mill-creek and New Philadelphia
Baptist churches and has been pastor of these
two churches, preaching to each once a month
continuously since that time During this for
ty-two years he has missed but very few ap-
pontments. This record is unparalleled Ia the
Unconventional annals in this State. Elder Nc
Coy Is still young in spirit though nearing his
threescore and ten, and still holds the hearts
and attention of his hearers with his old-time
strength. IHe has lately closed revival meeting
with large number of baptisms.
The Bethel Association has in it's bounds the
first Baptist church organized in this State--the
CharIestown Church. Clark county. This ssg-
sion was Of unusual interest. Revs. DIR. Slim
son, of Terre Haute; G. e. Elgin, of the Indi-
ana Baptist. Indianapolis; Norman Carr, of
Franklin College; ]. E. Mccoy, son of the ven
enable moderator, of jefferson county; j. K.

Albany, besides other ministers, took part in
the exercises.

GOING TO THE FIRE.


With the first cry of 4fire" the fun and ex-
citement begins. Fun, because all routine
business is laid aside in a moment, and a wild
chase for the engine house instituted. Ex-
citenent, because men, women and children
run here, there and everywhere. Shouting,
yelling, Safeguarding and mud rolling is the
order. The first person reaching the engine
house gives the general alarm by ringing the
bell. The machine is run out, every one
present grabs the rope, and off they go at a
break neck pace.
Every active member is provided with a
uniform consisting of a helmet and white
blouse. These he keeps at home; but he is
supposed to wear them at a fire in order to be
distinguished from a volunteer. As the ma
chine is run down the street, the wives and
daughters of the 'actives" appear at the door
ways with the uniforms. The gymnastic
feats performed by these men, while running
through the streets, discarding their coats and
hats for their uniforms, beggars description.
AT the fire, every one Is at perfect liberty
to do as he pleases. A rush for the house is
the first grand move. Every available article
r. carried off, Sometimes the unlucky owner
has to skirmish all over the town before he
has collected all his furniture. When a
saloon is burned the property lin the form of
liquidsj very frequently finds its way to very
distant localities On one occasion two sac
tives" rescued keg of Scotch whisky, car
ried it TO a bouse three miles distant and
never left it for four days. On "brigade
picnic days" the entire force, both active
and volunteer, go out for sport, and leave
the town to the mercy of Providence.

In the Garden of the Gods

The careful observer in this locality
will find that the garden is inhabited by
a most remarkable colony, the famous
honey ants. The nests of these little
creatures may be seen for quite dis
tance, forming mounds six or eight inches
in hight; but below the surface they
have mined in the rock until in some por-
tions it is honey combed in a remarkable
manner.
The ants are nocturnal, working at
night, though l have seen them COM
Iaence work at 4 D. III. One nest that |
observed was fifty feet from the tree and
the line of ants was four feet wide. The
ants not only collect honey, but store it,
and this in a most marvellous manner.
Having no bottles or casks and being un-
able to make reservoirs, certain members
of the colony are selected as living bot
ties and are actually filled up by the
other ants until they attain enormous
dimensions, resembling ambler-hued cur
rants. These honey bottles are kept in a
separate room by the other ants and hang
or cling to the walls, being carefully
cared for and tended by the rest When
honey is required a hungry ant proceeds
to a bottle, caresses it with its antenna,
and the aunt gives up ration to the sup
plicant. Such a remarkable modifica-
tion seems almost beyond the possibility
of belief, but probably did not surprise
Sir John Lubbock, who some years ago
expressed it as his opinion that the ant
stands next to man in point of intelli-
gence.-Manitou (CoL) Cor. Philadelphia

Mr.. TiIden and the Doctor.

Two years before his death Mr. Tilden
was taking severe medicine, prescribed by
Dr. Simmons, to stop or lessen the nerv-
GUS shaking from which he suffered. The
medicine apparently had good result.
Mr.. Tilden, however, always quarreled
with ii. He said it disagreed with him.
One morning he declared to DR. Sim
mons:
"I shall stop taking that medicine. it
hurts my stomach
Governor" said the doctor, sit can not
hurt your stomach. It's effects are not
on that organ at all"
@But 1 tell you it does" pers listed Mr.
Tilden. @and shall take no more of it"
DR. Simmons was now really alarmed
and said:
Are you resolved on that?'
The answer was. Il am"
~Then," rejoined the doctor. "at least
promise me to leave it off gradu ually, be-
cause if you stop it all at once would not
be answerable for the consequence"
Drawing his chair nearer to the doctor
Mr.. Tilden laid a hand on the phsician's
knee, looked him str aight in the face, and
with a steely glare out of his game eye,
said to him in n whisper:
Il have stopped it"

alarmed doctor.

Easily Frightened Elephants.

ats a we'll known fact that elephants
are afraid of small objects" said Head
Keeper Byrne at the Geological garden,
@and 1 have seen them scared almost into
a fit at the sight of a mouse. These warm
days we have been giving them warm
bath at o'clock, and to amuse them and
the spectators we have thrown half a
dozen inflated bladders into the pond
when they went in to swim. At first
they almost scared them to death Then
Empress struck at one with her trunk,
and when it flew into the air both trump
eted and scrambled out of the pond EN-
press, who has the curiosity of her sex
and a mind of her own, gently fished one
of the bladders out of the water and then
kicked it with her feet. No serious re-
suits following, she continued her investi-
cations, which ended by her putting her
front foot on the bladder. 1t exploded
with loud report, and the two elephants
scampered home. e."-Philadelphia Times.

The Toughs and President Arthur.

The Toughs and President Arthur.
The toughs of the town have small re-
spect for eminent men. While Gen. Ar
thur was president, he came on to New
York and registered at the polling place
nearest his residence. 1t was a small
cigar store near Twenty eighth street, on
Third avenue, a neighborhood OF average
respectability. / chanced to pass it cleo
tion day on my way to the elevated road,
when saw the tall and imposing figure
of Gen. Arthur swing around the corner,
and stopped to see a president OF the
United States cast his ballot. He was
alone clad in the most fashi enable attire,
erect, composed, dignified and handsome.
There was a group of half-grown boys,
hulking roughs and slatternly women
around the door, and as the president
walked through them one or two of the
small boys gave a feeble cheer, and half
dozen of the men raised their hats. The.
president lifted his hat courteously and
stepped into the little shop. Here he an
swered the usual questions about his
name, nativity, residence and so on in
deeped-toned voice, voted, bowed to the
clerks and inspectors and began to make
his way out.
at seems ter me-" fiabby-looking
woman with babe at her breast re-
marked shrilly as the president brushed
by her, "as 'ow lis legs is givin' somewhat
ter bowin Jemimer."
"Yis, ma am, perhaps they does; but his
whiskers," said the woman addressed,
with an expression of engaging candor-
"his whiskers is what / calls puffectly
elegint."
Upon this, one of the half-grown boys
said confidentially to the president:
"Say, Chet, yuv got mash! Y'ave, fur
a dead cold fac She's stuck on dem
sideboards Give 'er one for a philoppe-
ner, won't yer?"
There was a roar of laughter, which did
not subside until the chief magistrate
disappeared around the corner. His de
meanor was as composed, sedate and po-
lite under it all as though surrounded by
his own family. N. Y. Cor. Chicago

The Comstock, and the Nevada. The
first has a capital of $250,000, and

has already gone to work on recently
purchased mills, which are being rem

shape possible; the Nevada will be-
gin operations soon.
This betokens a prosperous era on

be that there will be something to
