BRYAN'S DELPHI BLUNDER,
Gets the Laugh for Calling Landis a
PIutOcrat.
Ie indianapolis Journal.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
DELPHI, Ind. Oct. 23.-The free-silver
Democrats and the PopuIists took adyan-
tage of the presence of William jennings
Bryan in this county yesterday to make
a great effort in behalf of Joseph B.
Cheadle, the Popocratic candidate for Con-
gress in this district. After dishing up the
regulation mess of 'bimetallism'' doled out
at every place he speaks, Mr.. Bryan spoke
as follows:
TN this district + understand that the
Democrats, Populists and free-silver Repub-
Hcans have agreed on candidate for Con-
gfess, and he happens to have been a Re-
publican Well. my friends, I want to say
this to you Now, I have always been a
Democrat, and | think / as good a
broad principles that are governed by the
people, as | ever was and yet, if / was in
this district | would not hesitate to vote for
a man who was a Republican, but who is
for free silver rather than for a Democrat
who was a Democrat, but who is now a
piutocrat Better a Republican who is near
by in the hour of nations extremity than
a Democrat who is afar off looking for for
eign assistance And / want every person
lieves in the ability of our people to attend
to their own affairs in this country to see
free-coinage bill to the President
Mr. Bryan evidently got mixed up in the
coaching the reception committee from this
city gave him, as Mr.. Cheadle's opponent
Charles 3. Lands Of this city, is a Repub-
Iican and has always been a Republican.
Neither is he ''plutocrat, but a plain
everyday country newspaper publisher.
An amusing incident occurred when Mr.
Bryan finished his speech and prepared to
leave the stand. 1t had been necessary to
raise $50 to get him to stop his train at
this place. The money was placed in an
envelope and quietly handed to him by the
Democratic chairman. Just as the envelope
was handed to him Mr.. Bryan was in the
act of putting on his overcoat. He did not
care to trust the envelope to any of the
gentlemen standing around he deftly
placed it between his teeth, holding it in
his capacious mouth while he got into his
overcoat. The incident was witnessed by
thousands of people and created much mer-
riment, as everybody knew that the price
of the distinguished visitors presence was
being held between his jaws.

American Flag Pulled Down.

Special to the IndIanapOIfS journal.
HAMMOND. Ind, Oct. 23.-A large flag
which hung across the street in front of
the residence of z. Z. Towle, cashier of
the First National Bank. was torn down
and trampled in the dust at an early hour
this morning. Attached to the flag was a
banner bearing the inscription on one side,
Sound Money and Prosperity" and on the
other. Mckinley and Hobart" Ever since
1t was raised, a. week ago, 1T has been an
eyesore to the Popocrats- At O'Clock this
morning Mr.. Towle was aroused by the
noise of Il rope attached to the flag running
through a pulley. He rushed out of the
house and found the flag lying in the street.
but the miscreant had fled. Many citizens,
regardless of party, have called on Mr.
Towle to-day and expressed their indigna-
tion over the affair. Rewards have been
offered for the apprehension of the culprits,
and there is a possibility of a tar and
feather bee If they are caught.

FRANKFORT. Ind. Oct. 23.-One of the
most enthusiastic and successful demon
strations of the campaign was made to-
night at Michgantown, a strong Demo-
cratic locality, six miles east of here.
Charles B. Lands was the speaker and
rode twenty miles across the country from
Deer Creek, where he spoke this afternoon.
A great crowd from the vicinity was pres
ent, but the feature of the meeting was the
special train run by the employees of the
Clover Leaf from this city. There We're 200
of the railroad men on the train, and they
were accompanied by 300 citizens
of Frankfort with the State band
and Frankfort drum corps. great ma
jority of these railroad men have hereto
fore been stalwart Democrats, but they are
this year fighting for Republican success.
They took with them fat car and cannon.
On the return of the train to Frankfort
Mr.. Landis was escorted 70 the Coulter
House and the crowd shouted until he
made a speech from the balcony. The old
soldiers were out in force.

Ridpath,s wild Prophecy.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MARTINSVILLE, Ind, Oct. 23.-John G..
Ridpath, the historian, delivered a free
coinage speech at Mooresville Wednesday
night. Among other preposterous state-
ments he made he offered the prediction
that in case of McKinley's election the sill
yer money would all be called in and con-
verted into jewery and silver table ware.
Also that paper currency would also be
called in, SO that our people would have
to rely wholly on gold coin. This, he said
would be done because of Republican an
tipathy to silver money and their favoring
the further enrichment of the wealthy and
making the poor more and more dependent.
This prediction is very much akin to the
one offered by prophet Riggans d few days
ago at Monrovia, when he said that war
was inevitable between the East and West
in case OF Republican success at the polls.

Attempt to Defeat Crumpacker.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
HAMMOND, Ind, Oct. 23.-A circular
purporting to have been issued by the In
diana State Liquor League is being freely
circulated among the saloon keepers of this
district, which has for its object lessening
the chances of the election Of Hon. E. D.
Crumpacker, the Republican candidate for
Congress- The circular gives the names of
the Senators and Representatives in the
Legislature who voted for the passage of
the Nicholson law, anC one of them is that
of a Senator named Crumpacker, meaning
Senator Jonathan Crumpacker, of LaPorte
county. The PopocratS are seeking to
create the impression that it was E. d.
Crumpacker, when, in fact, that gentleman
was never in the Legislature. The given
name of the Senator is not shown in the
circular and the fact has led many of the
saloon men to think it was the candidate
for Congress, and they are using their in
ffuence against him on that ground.

THE 0RAIG-O'NEIL BATTLE.
Both Were Groggy BUT Neither Got
In a Kuoekout.


After much dickering between the rep
r~esentatives of Hugh SO'Neil and Joe
Craig, the men were brought together
last night at a few minutes before mid
night to settle their long standing grew
ance regarding the featherweight cham
pionship of this county. and while the
men battled twelve rounds, during which
both were on the entrance to queer
street. neither gained the decision and
the fight was declared a draw. h was
the result of demands upon Referee John
Ecl1hardt by O'Neil that in case of any
interference, no matter how great the adj
vantage of either man, the contest must
be declared a draw. Had not O'NeIs
obstinacys held out for this the fight
would have been declared in his favor.
as he had Craig dazed and lettering when
the bout was stopped by the police. 1t
was a hard battle, in which Craig dis
played surprising ~cieyerness. He out
pointed OsNeil in every round but the
last, and up to The time that O,Neil
smashed Craig with a short arm blow on
the jaw. sending him Keeling to the ropes.
Craig looked like a winner. The battle
was decided at the Casino in West Ho-
hoken and nearly 800 representative sports
were present. Craig weighed in at 122
POUNDS, but ONeil tipped the beam at
I311s and was compelled to forfeit his
SIS forfeit money. 1t was due to an objec-
ton ON Craig's part 10 fghting O'Neil at
the weight unless the latter was willing
in case of Craig's defeat to split the
purse. OMEN would not agree, and in
order to bring the men in the ring the
managers created a losers end. The
men shook hands at II o'clock. James
Waylett and Jim Gallagher held the
watches. In the opening rounds Craig
fought OsNeil In his own corner, and was
compelled to do all the leading. He used
his left for some clean hitting and not
until the seventh round did he draw
O'Neil out. Craig played for an opening
and sent a sledge hammer blow with
left on O'Neirs jaw, and the latter drop
ped to his knees. Upon getting up he
clinched to save himself. and. although
Craig had him going, he could not finish
him. Craig's left hand played havoc with
O'NeiTs face until the eleventh round,
when the battle was more even. O2Neil
bled profusely from the mouth and nose
and his face showed the punishment.
O'Neil played for a knockout and got it
almost in the twelfth round. His right
found Craig's jaw and dazed MIN. and
O'NeiI followed him around, sending in
terrific blows, but without success in
sending Craig off his feet The crowd
yelled and the police jumped in and pre-
vented OaNeil from finishing Craig. and
the result was a draw.

4 GOOD ORDINANCE.
Street and Water Board Will
Try to Preserve the
Roads.

In order to preserve the macadamized
roadways in Arlington, Bay View and
Garfield avenues the Street and Water
Commissioners. at their meeting yester-
day afternoon. placed On it's first reading
an ordinance regulating the use OF the
roadways. The ordinance was introduc-
ed at the suggestion of Commissioners
Harding. who that the road
ways were built for the comfort of wheel
men and drivers of light wagons.
The roadways of the three avenues in
question form a link in Mayor Wanserss
smooth-surfaced driveway system. Start
ing at Grand street, the road runs in
a s~outherly direction to G~reenville, final
ly connecting with the Boulevard. Be
fore the roads We're built the city officials
went to a great expense to repave Ocean
avenue with Belgian blocks for the ac-
commodation of truckmen who drive
from this city to Bayonne and vice versa.
Since the macadam roads nave been fin
ished truckmen have abandoned Ocean
avenue absolutely and have been using
Garfield, Bay View and Arlington ave-
nues. AS a consequence the roads have
been cut up. filed with ruts dam

will require a few thousand dollars to
put them in good condition.
Under the ordinance introduced 1t will
be unlawful for any truckmen whose
truck and load weighs 1000 pounds to use
the roadways unless the tires of the
wheels measure at least three inches.
Where the truck and load weigh more
than 1000 pounds and up to 5000, the
tires must be 4 inches in width. The
penalty for violating the ordinance is a
fine of not less thar s. or more than
SIS.
The object of the ordinance is merely to
drive truckmen off the maeadam roads
and back on the Ocean avenue pavement,
which was laid for their accommodation.
Restrictions are also to be placed on
doing business along the mac
adam roadways. In calling for or deliv-
ering orders drivers must enter the road
from a side street nearest the house at
which they are to stop. Business wag-
along the o by using only one block
at a time. If they violate this provision
the fine ranges from s. to s25.
Commissioner Harding says that the
narrow tired wagons, which in many in
stances are heavily loaded. are ~responsi-
BILE for the bad condition of the roads at
present.
AS soon as the macadam roadway or
dinance is passed another is TO be in
troduced to protect the asphalt driveway.
which has been laid at considerable ex-
pense from the ferry to Hudson street, to
York, to Henderson, to Mercer, to the
Niaduct. to the Boulevard. 1t is pro
posed to shut out all heavy trucking on
Mercer street.

AN EARLY NEW YORK CHURCH.
Description of the First Church at
Albany Ruflf IN 651.

The first church at Albany, built in 1867.
was simply a block house with loopholes
for the convenient use of guns in defense
against the Indians, if defense were
needed. On the roof were placed three
small %cannons, commanding the three
roads which led to the church. This
edifice was called "a handsome preaching
house." and it was boasted tina it was
almost as large as the fine one in New
Amsterdam. It's corner stone was laid
with much ceremony. Over all, hung in
the belfry, a bell presented to the little
congregation by the directors of the Am
sterdam chamber of the West India Com
pany. The pulpit was a gift of the same
board of West India directors, since the
twenty-five beavers skins sent for its
purchase proved greatly damaged and
hence Inadequate as payment. This pull
pit still exists-a pedestal with a flight of
narrow steps and a curved balustrade. 1t
is o~ctagonal; of the sides being hinged

small panels and mouldings are of oak.

Mr.. Brown was a very rich merchant.
but was extremely superstitious. He had
three ntimat friends, Mr.. Eager, a Pro-
t~estant: Mr.. Savage, a Catholic, and Mr..
Goldsmith, a Jew.
One day Mr.. Brown became very i'll. and
summoned his three friends to his bed

Shortly afterward he died. Mr.. Eager.
the Protestant, came, and, according to
the promise, put 500 In the coffin. After
he left Mr.. Savage, the Catholic, came
and put In smother 500. Lastly came Mr.
Goldsmith, the jew. Just as he was about
to put in the 500 a thought struck him.
