Mrs. Minnie Brunsls nee Patton
Texas, is with her mother Mrs. A. M
Griffin
Mr.. Porter and Raph were in the
neighborhood recently.
"The Lesson Of the Lilies" a con-
cert exercise will be presented at
Lone Tree Easter Sabbath. All are
cordially invited.
Several farmers will try milo maize
this year.
Considerable breaking was COM
menced before the cold wave, and
will be continued as soon as possible.
Every furrow turned is an indication
Of progress; and if house, however
plain or small could be built on every
quarter, 1t would soon be occupied to
the profit of owner as we'll as tenant.
The wisdom of this is proven by the
number of applicants (14) for farm
in this neighborhood. The high rents
as far west as Iowa and Missouri are
driving farmers this way; and some
who left here last fall are finding
their way back.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gooder surrendered
their fine home to throng of friends
the 10th in celebration Of their 18th
wedding anniversary. With such an
expression of good will, pleasant sur
roundings and a splendid dinner en-
ioyment was a natural result. AL
though 16 years of pioneer life has
aged them a little, the bridal flowers
we're just as appropriate, and were
worn as proudly as Of yore. Ere the
day closed all were pleased to see
little Tom walk proudly in from
school wearing a badge which said
Neither absent nor tardy for a term
of 6 months" We regret that such
a happy day should be succeeded by
one bringing an accident to them
which might easily have been very
distressing. While riding, the break
ing of a double tree and line, left
them at the mercy of a frightened
team, one of which was a colt. AL
though the buggy capsized and the
SIX occupants were thrown down an
embankment, only Mrs Gooder was
the worse for it, and she is better.
Jay Gould's school mates and
friends accepted the freedom and en-
| joyment of his pleasant home the
evening Of the 18Th.
Mr.. Rhoads preached his last SER
mon before conference, to q large
congregation. The sorrow of parting
lightened partially by the hope of his
return. Verify his works do speak
for him. Many, many thanks are
given to the patrons Of Lone Tree
who so generously contributed to his
salary of seventy-fve dollars; all Of
which was paid despite hard times.
The 'giving which enricheth" has its
own effect IN the vicinity. How
could it be otherwise, when a district
freely gives accommodation and fuel
year after year to the advancement of
Christ's cause irrespective of denomi.

THE MATHEWS TRAGEDY.
Coroner Thinks 1t May Have Been
ustifiable-Frank Smiths Story.

Coroner Caster viewed the remains of
Frank Mathews yesterday morning, but did
not begin the investigation of the case. He
made the remark. however. that, upon the
face of the case, it looked like justifiable
homicide. The body of Mathews was taken
to his home. y Harrison street, yesterday
morning and will be shipped by Flanner &
Buchanan tomorrow to Seymour, where
the interment will take place. The funeral
services viii be held at the house this aft
ernoon.
Frank Smith, who was reported in all the
newspapers as having been of the
three men who ran after Brooks to assault
him, denies that he was the man. He says
IL was his brother, Charles Smith. Frank
Smith is employed at Shellhouse & Co.'S
hardware store East Washington street.
He was on his way nome and happened to
pass the pace where the shooting occurred
just in time to see it, He says he was on
the opposite side of Concordia street when
he saw Brooks pass the crowd of
standing in the mouth OF the alley. One of
the men said something to Brooks and the
latter told him Ito go to HI Brooks,
he says, then walked to the next alley,
turned around and dared any of the crowd
to come after him. Frank Smith says that
his brother and Mathews ran after Brooks
and when Brooks pulled his pistol and
aimed il az Charles Smith Mathews stepped
in between them and received the shot
which killed him. Frank Smith does not
know whether Albert Long was one of
those who pursued Brooks.

Sample of the Methods Employed by
fs

A short time ago the Parry Manufacture
ing Company, because it had no work at
which men could be put was compelled TO
LAY off, a number Of men. One of the
men who was thus laid off wrote to a
relative in Carrollton, Ky, story which
is probably embraced by the following
editorial paragraph in the Carrollton
News, a Bryanite organ:
"ChaS. A. Wright, of this place, received
letter Friday from his half-brother, Jerre
ID. Dunn. VINO left here about year ago
for Haughville, Ind, and worked at Parry s
he tells of his discharge, together with 1I6
others, because he expected to vote the
Democratic ticket He says the entire force
was called before their employers, who
stated to them that they expected every
one of them to vote for gold standard
but if any did not expect to vote that way
they would be discharged, Whereupon III
out of $50 employees put on their coats and
walked out. We congratulate Jerre and his
sued, but We would feel better satisfied had
they jumped upon their managers and
would-be dictatorS and kicked a lung out
of each of theIn.'
John T. Lewis. a merchant in Carrollton,
sent the foregoing paragraph to the Parry
Manufacturing Company with note ex-
pressing disbelief in the statement attrib-
uted to Dunn and asking that the COM
pany make an explanation in the Indian
apolis Journal. The following is the reply
of the Parry company:

On the 30th day of September Jerry d.
Dunn, together with six other working
men, were laid off, not on account of their
politics, but because had no work for
them. Investigating the matter further, we

Republicans and expected to vote the Re

ported in the editorial, has simply lied as

TOOK SEVERAL TRAINS
HOLSTERS LEAVE FOR THE REPUB-
LICAN MECCA OF 1896.
from This City Make a Big Party
The Wheel Parade.

The Canton excursion from this city was
a great success. Two big trains left here
last night and one train came through car
rying delegations from Evansville, Vim
cennes and Terre Haute. The first train left
promptly at 10 o'clock and was composed of
nine cars, three of them being sIeepers.
Every car was filled to its utmost capacity
and this train will make no stops on the
way except those necesstated by passing
other trains and taking coal and water.
1t was thought that this train might carry
all the excursionists from this city, but in
this the railroad officials were mistaken.
1t was arranged that this train should
leave at 1G o'clock and should be followed
Immediately by a train of five empty cars
10 pick up passengers at stations between
here and the State line, but when it came
to loading the first train it was found
that all the people could not get on. After
it pulled out there were enough people left
TO fill two cars of the second train. For
this reason it became necessary to put two
more coaches on this train at BrightWood
The commercial travellers made a good
showing for the trip. They met at their
heaGquarter; on North Pennsylvania
street, formed in line and marched to the
Union Station, headed by the First Vot-
ers' Drum Corps. This drum corps is made
up of about twenty-four young men whc
will cast their first votes this fall. Dressed
n white duck. they present fine appear
ance, and their drum-beatfng is equal to
tfeir personal appearance. They attracted
a great deal of attention wherever they
went last night
There was a large crowd at the Union
Station to see the Canton pilgrims Off.
Many friends were there to wave adieu
the trains pulled out of the sheds. All were
in good humor in anticipation of the pleas
ures of to-day. The trains will arrive in
Canton at $3.50 this morning and the pill
grims will rest for short time, after which
they Will march to the home OF Major Me-
Kiney where they will be the first to be
received to-day. The return trip will begin
at $3.50 this afternoon.
Besides the two trains from this city
there was a train of ten cars passed
through the city at O'Clock. carrying the
pilgrims from Terre Hdute, Evansville and
VinEennes. This train expected to be
entirely full by the time it reached here
but as it will have a large locomotive pull
ing it it was arranged that in case the
two trains from this city could not carry
all the passengers found waiting at the
stations between here and the State line
two more coaches would be added to the
Terre Haute train at Brightwood. From
all points Indiana will be well represented
at Canton to-day.
This morning at o. clock two big trains
pc ssed through bound for Canton One OF
them was composed of clever sleepers and
chair cars and carried st. Louis people.

THE POP FUSION.
Case Brought I'm Dekalb County to
Determine It's Legality.

Since the various efforts by the Popu-
lists and Popocrats to fuse by negotiations
through committees, involving the setting
aside of the work of conventions, there has
been much discussion among the legal fra
ternity of Indianapolis of the legality of
such proceedings. The Indiana ballot law
recognizes the legality of conventions and
provides a legal method of certifying to
their work. 1t recognizes the legality of
primary elections and provides method of
certifying to nominations thus made. 1t is,
however, question whether nominations
made by conference committees will not
have to be made by petition A case in
volving some of the questions arising out
OF the fusion deals has been brought in
DeKalb county, and will probably come to
the Supreme Court for final adjudication.
Lyman Lockwood, Populist candidate for
County Commissioner Oh DeKalb county,
has filed complaint in the Circuit Court of
that county, by his attorneys, Frank S.
Roby and c. A o. Mcclellan. against the
Board of Election Commissioners and va
rious other parties. asking a writ of man
damus compelling the board to print the
Populist county ticket and to otherwise
prepare the ballots in accordance with his
view of the law.
A committee of three was appointed by
the Democratic central committee to hold a
conference with a like committee appointed
by the Populist central committee, after
all the conventions had been held and full
tickets nominated. The result of the con-
ference was that the PopuIists agreed to
suppress their county ticket and to print
the name of Robinson, the Democratic can
didate for Congress, among the list of Pop
uiiSt candidates, In return for this the
Democrats undertook to secure the with
drawal Of the two Democratic candidates
for County Commissioner and to substitute
the names of two PopulistS; to name the
Popuiist candidate for prosecuting attorney
and print his name among the Democratic
list of candidates, and TO furnish one thou
sand subscribers to the PopuiiSt newspaper
of the county at 81 each.
Lockwood attacks the entire arrange
ment upon the ground that it is against
public policy and contravenes the spirit and
terms of the statute of the State. He al
leges that the transaction is in it's nature
Illegal and corrupt and prevents the full
exercise OF the ballot, ii being impossible
for the voter to vote for persons whose
names are not printed on the official ticket
Should his contention prevail it will result
in the election of a Republican county
ticket in Dekatb county, and a Repub-
lican Congressman in the Twelfth district
The Importance of the principles involved
can hardly he overestimated, and if the
suit lis sustained by the Indiana Supreme
Court. II viii result In putting an end to
the barter, trade and purchase which have
formed so large a part Of this campaign.
Lockwood Is a middle-of-the-road Popultst
and a man of determination. He has en-
Dloyed the best legal talent in the district.

NOT OVER 10000 VISITORS.
Offfcial Figures Dyvindle the Bryan
Crowd Last Tuesday.

So loudly has it been proclaimed that the
Indianapolis lines brought into indianapolis
on Tuesday, the day Bryan was here, 20, coo
or more people that the passenger men on
receiving actual reports are surprised and
disappointed. The official figures show for
instance, that the four Pennsylvania di-
visions brought III 497 people on the low
ra les at which the visitors to the city were
carried. The six lines in the Big Four Sys-
tenn by official report brought in 1862 on eX
cursion rates and the Indiana. Decatur &,
Western, the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Day
ton and Monon could not have brought in
as many combined as did the six Big Four
lines. This makes it evident that the In
diarapolis lines did not bring in over 10000
people on the excursion tickets that day.
Especially are the Pennsylvania officials
disappointed, as the Indianapolis & Vim
cenneS and the j., NJ & [. roads have al
ways been noted for turning out large
crowds whenever there was big meeting
of Democrats at Indianapolis.
