Death of EIeazer ]. Dole.

Eleazer 7. Dole, who had been lying in
a very critical condition since his fall
about six weeks ago, died on Saturday
morning, April Z. Mr.. Dole was the old
est of IL children of Gen. Stephen
and Calisto Dole, and was born in Dan
vile April -, 1916, at or near the house
now occupied by his son, Vim. F. Dole.
He married Miss Maria Morse, sister of
David Morse, who died in about one
year Subsequently he married Mary
Ann Farnsworth of Walden, by whom
he had three sons, all of whom survive
him. MIR. Dole had a keen appreciation
OF music. He and his wife sang for 40
wears in the Congregational choir, and
he was very active member OF the Dan
vile band After the big fire of 1886,
when the future of the town looked very
uncertain, he was the first to begin to re-
build, at that time selling his Weeks
lot to DIR. l. NJ. Aver and buying of Mrs.
Susan Woodward the old Eagle Hotel
lot and erecting on it fine store, which
his son Charles now occupies. During
the last few years he had made his home
with his son, c. S. Dole. MIR. Dole was
an honest, upright man, beloved by all.
Always active in promoting the best
interests OF the town, he will be greatly
missed in the community both by old
and Young His funeral was held at the
Congregational church, there being
very large attendance. Mr. Walter
Dole of Bethel conducted the services,
assisted by Rev. S. Knowlton.

DID A BIG BUSINESS
Local Railways Had Plenty of
Freight Traffic Last Week.
Heavy Shipments of Grain Eastward
Owing to Low Rates, Which Will
Likely Be Restored To-Day.

For the first time since July the train
records show az large a tonnage moving as
n corresponding weeks of last year, in the
week ending Dec. 30 there being 475 more
loaded cars received and forwarded at
indianapolis than in the corresponding
week OF 1892 This increase, however.
comes entirely from INCREASED shipments of
grain, shippers desiring to take advantage
of the low rates of a few days past, and
freight men will be surprised if the coming
week does not show a heavy falling off in
east-bound business, as to-day, If all lines
live up to their agreements. rates east
bound will be restored to the basis OF %
cents per loo pounds, Chicago to New York.
Indianapolis business taking SO per cent OF
that rate. Shipments of lumber East are
large. much of it being hard woods. to be
exported, and veneering. Shipments of live
stock last week were the nghtest in any
week of the last three months. West
bound business is light. but there is some
prospect of an early Improvement. The re-
duced rates which went into effect on SAT-
urday may increase the business some
what, but the principal increase looked for
is from the starting up of a number of
the iron Industries OF Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania- There is little to say that is en-
would have to go back a number CT years
to find a week in which so little was doing
ABOUT the city freight uepOtS as IN the week
ending Dec. 30, and, in fact, the same could
be said Of the business of the entire month
OF December, and, with but one exception,
the Vandalia, fewer men are employed in
offices, on the platforms and in the local
yards than at any time in the last ten
years. Changes in handling the business
OF the Vandalia necessitate their keeping
up their full complement of men. The year
begins with the freight men all hoping for
an Improvement in business, not a boom,
but a steady and healthy increase in traffic.
Below is given the number of cars re-
ceived and forwarded at this point for the
week ending Dec. 30, as compared with the
corresponding week of the two preceding

has shown wonderful gains, will have a
$3.50 purse to reward his stamina, while

the contest. will carry $3.50 back to New

Desha Breckinridge Speaks.

LEXINGTON, KY, Dee, 9O-Desha
breckenridge. Oldest son of Col. W.. P. C.
Breckenridge, when asked about "block-
ing Miss Pollard in her effort to find tes-
timony in Cincinnati in her favor, as has
been stated, said: Il went to Cincinnati
simply to learn the persons whom Miss
Pollard connects with the case against my
father. / only wanted to find out the
truth OF her assertions. L found them to be
a tissue of lies, and she will surely be I'M
able to prove any OF them"
Asked if he would outline what he dis
covered there young Breckenridge said:
II hardly think it worth while. but Miss
Pollard says that Oh the first Of April,
1855, she went 10 the Founding Asylum, at
Norwood, under the name of Louise Will
son. The Mother Superior says that she
was not there, and she is not registered.
The other charges seem to be Of the same
groundless character. NO, l never at
tempted TO keep Miss Pollard from obtain
ing evidence, for If her charges are true
she will nave no trouble about that. The
girls mother doesn't claim that her daugh-
ter is worthy OF much consideration, and
thinks her conduct inexcusable."

To Public-spiritee women.


To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
I would like a little space in which to
speak u good word for the Local Council
o Women of Indianapolis, and to urge
upon the public-sptrited women of the city
the importance of attending its meetings
and becoming identified with it's interests.
Many women seem anxious to know of
what benefit a membership in the council
will be to their especial association. And
in asking this question they show a misap-
prehension of it's aims, which it is my
earnest desire to correct. In it's constitu-
ton Article III says: 1.-THE aim of this
council is TO bring the various associations
Of women of Indianapolis into closer rela-
tons through an organic union, ; = > the
object of which is TO serve as a medium
of communication and a means of prosecut-
ing any work of common interest,"" The
object thus expressed may be summed up
in two words. viz. sympathy, power. The

WABASH. Ind, Dec. 30.-Not for years
has the southern part of this county bad
such a sensation as that growing out of the
whipping by Homer Hale, the well-known
horseman, OF Rev. Keely, State evangelist
of the Presbyterian Church, whose home is
at indianapolis. Although the assault oc-
Cured last Tuesday excitement continues
unabated and the general sentiment is one
of condemnation of Hale. Last evening at
the regular revival meeting at Liberty
Church resolutions denouncing the assault
as unprovoked. brutal and cowardly and
condemning Hale In strong language, while
expressing sympathy with the minister,
were adopted unanimously and the same
were sent to the Wabash papers for publ
cation. In addition members Of the church
have placed the case in the hands of the
prosecutor and demand that the grand jury
indict Hale. Hale. on a plea of guilty be-
lore a justice, was fined S., but as the pros
ecuting witness was confined to his bed
from injuries received, this is no bar 10
Indictment. Hale insists that he had provo,
cation. but says he is sorry the affair oc-
CURED. The whole family is very proud
and vindictive and it is feared that the
trouble will breed a fued in the county
which will last for years. Rev. Keely with
