WASHINGTON, Ind, Aug. 10.-Frank
Purcell, brother of George Purcell. of the
national executive committee of the United
Mine Workers, is in Jail here charged with
numbering his wife. Information was given
by his fourteen-year-old son. The mother
died in great agony, after what seemed
to the neighbors to be a sudden illness.
and it was reported that she was stricken
with heart disease. To-day the boy re-
ported a quarrel between his mother and
father that led to a brutal assault a few
minutes before the woman's illness was
reported TO neighbors
The boy says his mother was crying be-
cause her young daughter was to be mar
ried ana that Purcell reprimanded his wife
for her weakness. Her response enraged
him and he knocked her down and kicked
her several times in the stomach. The
mother was assisted to the house and died
in few moments. The undertaken no
ticed, while embalming the body, great
quantities of blood in the bowels and men,
toned that fact.
The boys story has been so fully cor
roborated by facts that Purcell has been
arrested and is held for murder. Purcell
has a son in the prison at Michigan City
serving time for numbering a companion
in Pike county year ago.

Dimmick with the theft of 10000 in gold
from the United states mint In San Fran
cisco. The other charge was made by
Superintendent Leach, accusing Dimmick
Of Misrepresentation Of funds placed in his
hands for the purchase of supplies.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 10-Ever since
July (. when the discovery was made that
six sacks containing sS0.c0 were missing
from the mint vaults, Walter " Dimmick.
former chief clerk of the United States
mint. has been a prominent figure i'm the
investigation. When Dimmick was dis
missed from the mint il was stated ly
Superintendent Leach that il was not on
account OF the robbery. but in pursuance
of a decision made before the robbery was
discovered and that the robbery prolonged
his retention. Since his release from duty
Dimmick has been under the surveillance
of secret service men, who have probed
into every detail OF his private life in this
city and at his former home i'm Santa Bar
bara. Dimmick was at one time cashier OF
the mint and was one of the four persons
known to have had access 10 the vault.
In a memorandum book in his possession
the secret service men found that he knew
the combination 10 the upper lock of the
vault door. This is something that ii was
thought Cashier Cole alone knew An ex-
pert found that the time lock was not
working and as a result a person who had
the combination could open the vault at
any time during the day night To the
officers Dimmck admitted working at the

New Telephone System.

Manager Hardman of the local tele-
phone company informs us that he
finds the present automatic system
inadequate to the needs of this city,
and that he has decided to abandon
the system and substitute the "hello
girl" The switch board for the new
system has been ordered and will be
put in operation in the course Of a few
weeks. The automatic system is very
good for a limited number of phones,
but is unsatisfactory for extensive
use, hence the change.
Since assuming the management of
the telephone system at this place,
Mr.. Hartman has rapidly built up
the business until it has attained
proportions far to great to be accom-
mOdated by a limited system and the
manager believes in giving his patrons
the best possible service. Such enter
prise on the part of Mr.. Hardman is
certainly commendable and that it
will be appreciated by our people we
have no doubt.

Revival rTeetings.

AS pastor of the Baptist church, I
wish to say a word to the public about
our meeting begun and suddenly
closed. Bro. A. F. HOuser of Evans
ton, gave us some ringing sermons
about sin, political, municipal and
personal, and [ have found when some
one else begins to pull the beam out
of our eye, we object. Bro. Houser
awakened a Spirital interest here in
the city which old Christian workers
say has not been so high in years. At
our last Sunday morning sermon and
service twelve persons asked for the
prayers of Gods people. [, myself
believe if we could have continued our
meetings many souls would have put
on Christ by faith in Him. We sub
mitted willingly to the mandate of
our county health officer, putting our
heart, hand and vote to the speedy
suppression Of the malady of small
pox.
Bro. HOuser will in all probability
return sometime the last Of March OF
the first of April and continue the
meeting. If SO, his singer, Mr.. Hough-
ton, will accompany him.
Your pastor,

being bound over to the district court.

PrOtracted Meetings.

The series of meeting which began
Monday of last week, were closed with
the Sunday mornings service, on ac-
count of threatened epidemic of small
pox. The attendance and interest in
the meetings were good. Evangelist
Houser is an excellent preacher. He
has a very poor voice, but is, in spite
of it, forceful and eloquent. He rea-
sons logically, and is apt in illustra-
tion. 1t is unfortunate for the church
and for the city that the meetings
were compelled to close just as they
were well started

Smallpox.

The epidemic of smallpox is SO near
our city that the authorities thought
best to close the series of meetings
that were in progress at the Baptist
church and to prohibit for time all
public gatherings in the city. Monday
morning the schools were closed, and
a determined effort will be made to
prevent an outbreak of the disease in
this CITY,. Last Saturday the county
health officer, DR.. Fisher, received no.
tice that there were over fifty cases of
genuine smallpox at Agra, and two or
three near Dana. 1t seems to have
spread somewhat from there as it is
now reported at Speed, in the country
about ten miles north, and at or near
Kirwin. He at once took prompt steps
to prevent the further spread of the
scourge, ordering a strict quarantine
of the localities affected. DR.. Fisher
is to be commended for his prompt
action in the matter, and it is hoped
the malady will be checked and soon
stamped out.
1t appears to be very mild form of
smallpox and no deaths have occurred
thus far in this county, but the ply
sicians all agree that it is the genuine
smallpox. There are no cases reported
in the city yet.
