DEATH OF MIR. ARTHUR OkOAD'
wATER.--This gentleman, who had
been sick for several weeks, died at hi.
home near this town about 10 o'clock
on Tuesday night last. If he had lived
until the 1st day of October he would
have been rs years old.
Mr.. Broadwater was one of our most
capable and successful farmers. He was
man of strong convictions and warn
in his attachments to his friends. In
early life he adopted a seafaring life,
which he followed for some twelve OF
fifteen years. He was first officer OF q
large sailing vessel trading between AL,
exandria and European and South
American ports. He crossed the Allan.
tic about 80 times. At one time his
vessel was wrecked in the Atlantic
ocean and large number of the crew
we're swept overheard by big wave
and drowned. Several hundred barrels
of -four were thrown overheard to save
the ship, which finally reached port
through the good management and fear
lessness of Mr.. Broadwster. He was q
Justice of the peace at the breaking out
tof the civil war, and as such swore in
a number of Confederates officers,
among them Capt. James W. Jackson
(who killed Ellsworth who took the
oath before him as captain Of artillery.
Hs became connected with the Con-
federate army and frequently rendered
important service TO Stonewall Jack.

rate Generals. He was captured and
incarcerated at Point lookout for seve.
raj months, where a somewhat anus
ing incident occurred. he received fire..
quent messages that one OF the ne
gro guards wanted to see him For
a long time he paid no attention to
the request, until finally one OF his
comrades persuaded him to 60 and see
what the man wanted. The man
proved to be George Brown, one OF his
former slaves; who had joined the fede-
raj army and had been guarding the
prisoners. As soon as Brown saw him
be dotted his hat and said:
MARS Arthur, can't you get
me away from here?" Mr.. Broad.
water had to reply that he was unable
to get away from there himself. We may re.
mark, in passing, that one of Browns BROTH
ers free negro, went away from here with
the Fairfax Rifles and served faithfully dur
ing the war and was surrendered with the
company at Appomattox.
Mr.. Broadwater belonged to family long
and closely identified with the history Of
Fairfax county. His great grandfather,
Charles Broadwater, sat In the House of Bur-
CESS IS in the Colonial period with George
Washington and George Mason. he was also
one of the Gentlemen Justices" of the coun.
ty, as were number of his deceLdants.
Mr.. Broadwater leaves q widow and four
children. 4 few years ago he lost son, Guy
Brosdwater, who had located in Texas, and
who was as gallant soldier as ever flashed
blade in defense of the u ost Cause" short
while ago Mr.. Brosdwater connected himself
with the NJ. E. Church South, of this place.

farm butter during the year is the eXplana-
ton of this decrease. 1t will be noted that
there is healthy, Though not large, IN
year. Putnam county stands first in beef
cattle, with 1905 head and Hendricks next,
with II, ,494. But it must be borne in mind
that this is only a comparison with last
year, but that the shortage in beef cattle is
over 100000 head. Allen county is nrst in
number of milk cows, with nO02, Marion
county next, with 1O,O16, and Lake county
third with 1892
Sheep and Wool-The reports show an
other decrease in the number of sheep.
There are 81 929 less than last year and 1885,
724 less than in 1885, decrease of 22.5 per
cent. in the two years. The number of
lambs decreased So 724 since last year and
S0081 since 1895. There were 1914 sheep
killed by dogs during the year ending July
/, 1897 which was less than in former years.
The sheep dying for the year numbered a.
99S, being 29, $50 more than last year. Steuben
county reports the most sheep, $3.50 head,
and Noble county the most lambs, being
1924. The tabular statements show the de-
tails of all these matters. The wool clip
wa was SS712O pounds less of than last year ana
chiefly to the decrease in the number OF
sheep.
All, ,949, against 1,4723 1872 last year. a falling
off in number of CO. 1888 since last year. But
there is an increase in pigs over last year
of 121,513 The number of hogs dying for
the year ending July 1, 1897, was very large
being S99, ,452, against 5SO,26O for the previous
year This is a very great increase. In or
der to show this most graphically the
bulletin contains map of the State by
counties, shaded, to show where swine
disease was most fatal This shows that in
thirty counties the loss by disease was to
10 per cent; in eighteen counties, 10 to 20
per cent; in twenty counties, 20 to 30 per
cent; in fifteen counties 80 to 40 per cent
and in nine counties, 40 to so per cent. The
chief fatality, it will be seen by the chart
was in the central counties OF the state
The loss in the whole State was 24.1 per
cent, valued at s., 1896, 743. The great bulk of
the hog crop of Indiana is produced in the
central counties and in the Wabash and
White river valleys, and hence the chart
shows the greatest loss in these. The pres
ent indications are that swine disease will
be less prevalent and less destructive for
the remainder of this year, but is likely to
spread farther toward the southern and
northeastern parts of the State"

DER, INVITED TO THE PAsTORATE.
He Is Now in Evansville District
Christ Church Plans to BE Sub
mitted TO-MOrroxv.

A call to the pulpit of Roberts Park NJ. E.
Church has been extended by the official
board to Rev. DR.. Bacon, presiding elder
of the Evansville district. At the meeting
of the quarterly conference last night il
definitely decided to take this action.
A committee was appointed to urge the
bishop to make the appointment at the
annual conference to be held Sept. %. 1t is
understood that the bishop will offer no OBJ
jections and that he will appoint DR.. Bacon
to the new charge.
Rev. DR.. Bacon was formerly pastor of
the First M. E. Church of Louisville. He
rendered his resignation to become presiding
elder of the district. He has preached be-
fore the Roberts Park congregation and
made very favorable impression.
Since DR.. Coultas resigned to accept a
call at Morristown, n. j., much thought has
been given by the congregation and official
board of the church to the selection of his
successor and a number Of prominent di-
vines have been invited to preach. with a
view to being called to the pulpit After
much consideration the choice centered on
DIR. Bacon.
At the meeting last night the quarterly
conference also decided to delegate the en-
tire official board to attend the laymen's
conference TO be held in Roberts Park
Church next Wednesday.
There was also a meeting of the Broad
way Nj. f: Church official board last night,
al which delegates were appointed to attend
the laymens conference. The delegates
were not hampered by instructions ana
there was no expression on the different
matters that will come up at the conference
Following are the delegates that were Sc
lected: Chairman of the delegation, w. O.

SENN'S MONEY UNCLAIMED.
His Body Buried-A Letter to Him
from Cincinnati.

The body of Frederick Sem, the suicide,
which was found the banks of Fall
creek Wednesday morning, was buried at
Crown Hill Cemetery yesterday by Under
taker Tutewiler. No word was received
from any of his friends or relatives. Yes
terday morning Coroner Brayton was given
letter which was addressed to Sem in
this city. 1t was written by s. Graf, from
Cincinnati, in German Translated by Miss
Brayton the letter reads as follows:
Worthy Senn-Your letter received. I
was glad to hear from you. 1 hope that
the first letter will not also be the last,
but that 1 will often hear from you here
after. 1 was especially glad you recognize
the ways of Providence. Gods hand. in
deed. He sees you. l have prayed for you
for long time. May God fulfill my prayer
and may His eternal love find a place in
your heart Dear Sem, you are indeed just
as your letter tells me. The answer 10 it,
You must succeed Only have faith and
realize that whether you are worthy or
not the Lord has done it all for me, as for
you. Depend upon it, you will find forgive
ness, for God lets the just succeed. / send
YOU the address of the preacher of our de-
Davidson street.) Call on him. The Lord
and His blessing be with you. With greet
ings from your friend"
And there was the following postscript:
"Toeclips come afterward. My best
wishes"
This postscript is probably a figure of
speech which would readily be understood
by Sem. who was an expect maehinist in
the bicycle line and a bicycle rider. Toe
clips to a cyclist are an after blessing
which comes TO the rider after he has
figure to say that blessing would follow If
Scnn should learn to know the Lord.

A MILLION In OLD RUSH
WITH THIS YIELD OF WHEAT SHE
LEADS INDIANA COUNTIES.
The Farmers of the State VIII Ex-
port About $22,OOO,OOO of the
Cereal This Year.

The state statistician issued a bulletin yes
terday in which he says concerning the
wheat crop:
''The average area in wheat for the past
five years was 2.631 1892 acres. That of this
year, after a part was plowed up in the
spring, was only 2,479,0 or. The yield of wheat
this year averages 1928 bushels per acre, or
total yield for the State of 81, ,769 S75
bushels In quality it is very high much
better for the whole State than in several
years past. The plant headed and filled per-
fectly and it was due to this fact that the
crop is much larger than anticipated
Estimating the usual 4s4 bushels per capita
for home consumption and 4,5OO, 900 bushels
for seeding the average acreage, there will
be left of this years crop for exporting 22,-
344, S75 bushels, and by October will prob
ably be worth over $22. .000, 900. Rush county
reports over 1,000,0 900 bushels of wheat, be-
ing larger than that of any other county
Several other counties show large yields as
will be seen in the accompanying table"
Under the stimulus of higher prices an
immense amount of wheat is being sown
this fall and the acreage will be the greatest
ever known in the State. The corn crop
promises to be somewhat above the average
in yield. The acreage is 1000 acres great
er than in any previous year. The follow
ing table shows the yield and acreage of
wheat and acreage of corn by counties:

BISHOP CHATARD,s LETTER.
He Urges the Clergy to Keep the
Schools Unmfxed.

Schools Unmixed.
Bishop Chatard, Of the Diocese of Vim
cennes, has written letter to the clergy
in which he quotes from a letter recently
received by himself from a high cardinal
of the church concerning the diocese.
Bishop Chatard, in his letter. says that the
cardinal had asked him the number of chill
dren of the diocese who do not attend the
Catholic schools. The reply of the bishop
was that about 1900 out of a possible
20,cO0 Catholic children attended the Catho-
lie schools.
The bishop urges the clergy to strive to
children, and that the best teach
sary, the bishop writes not only
10 teach youth religion during certain
hours, but to have the whole of the edu-
cation giving forth the good odor of piety.
Every species of learning has its dangers
and these can scarcely be avoided by the
young unless some divine control affects
their minds and hearts. In conclusion
Bishop Chatard says:
Many are in places where there is phys
school. But much can be done by you in
encouraging parents who are not properly
inclined to send children to our school, and
seconding the zeal of your pastors in i'm
parting Catholic instruction We urge you
to do this, and to keep up healthy Catho-
lie public opinion which will sustain the
cause OF Catholic education in the midst
or opposition or trial. and in this way we
shall emulate the spirit Of sacrifice of our
the country by giving it good, reliable
citizens"

s. OF v. TREASURY ROBBED.
This Explains why Muncte Camp Is
Not Mt the Encampment.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MUNCIE, Ind, Sept. 10.-It developed to-
day that Charles Parkey, ex-captain and
present quartermaster of Letter Camp,
Sons of Veterans has absconded with the
proceeds of the treasury of the camp and
a considerable amount Of money belonging
to the local lodges of American Mechanics,
both junior and senior lodges The money
taken from the mechanics was dues which
Parkey had collected from members, and
most of the cash belonging to the Sons of
veterans was money collected at a recent
public entertainment given to raise funds
for defraying the expenses of the entire
camp to attend the national meeting now
In session in Indianapolis. AS a result of
Parkeys departure the camp did not at
tend the meeting. Parkey came to Muncie
from Toledo, and was an energetic worker
in the orders, and took a prominent part
IN the national political campaign. His
family is still in Muncie. Mrs. Parkey
states that her husband informed her that
he was going to Birmingham.

CHRIST CHURCH CHANGES.
They Will Be Presented to the Con-
gregntiOn TO-MOrroxy.

Rev. A. j. Graham has returned from the
seashore where has has been recuperating,
after a season of broken health. Mr.. Gra-
ham is at once reviving interest in the re-
modelling of Christ Church, of which he is
the rector. An article in the Journal some
time ago gave a brief sketch of the pro-
posed changes. Plans have been drawn by
Vonnegut & Bohn, which will embrace an
extension of the chancel eighteen feet and
extension of the south transept twenty-eight
feet, the erection of private chapel at
the angle facing the soldiers monument
and the tearing out of the back to make
parish house The latter will have an as
semby room, choir room, a rectors study,
kitchen and other rooms The changes will
cost in the neighborhood Of $4,000. Mr..
Graham will present the plan in detail at
the church service Tomorrow morning.
The object of retaining the present edi-
flee is that Christ Church shall be the GEN.
trail church for a cluster of missions AT
present there are two missions on the
South Side sustained by Christ Church
One is st. Georges and the other Trinity
1t is contemplated joining these into one
and making a stronger church Another
mission is at Woodruff Place Christ Church
would be the center of larger growth ana
the mission churches would make an out
