KILLED IN A WLL Crunnell Falls Out of a Backet While Being Prawn to the Surface by Fellow-Workmen. Calvin Crunnell, a colored well-digger, in tiie employ of Frank Tansel, of Cler mont, was killed in rather a peculiar man ner yesterday morning. Tansel has the contract for sinking a well on the farm of Kobert Marsh, near that place, and the work had progressed to a depth of nearly thirty-four feet, the well being dry, when the men were driven out by fear of tiro-damp, signs of which were detected. After a few. moment' delay, Crunnell volunteered to descend, saying he was not afraid of fire-damp, as he was used to it. There was some etiurt to de ter him, but he treated the matter so lightlv that his fellow-workmen finally consented to lower him in the large bucket used for that purpose. When part way down he called to them to pull him out. which thoy proceeded to do as rapidly as possible, and had hoisted him to within a few feet of the surface when he fell out of the bucket. By tho time the workmen succeeded in getting his body from the well life was extinct. Coroner Wagner was notified, and an inquest yesterdav afternoon resulted in a verdict of acci dental death. Crunnell was fifty-two years old, and leaves a wife" and four children, lie lived in Hendricks county, just across the line, and about three miles from Cler mont. CULLINUS FROH T11E COURTS.

L Elder's. nit AH PEOPLE IN PABK AND CAMP At Bethany the Christians' 31issionary CausellasMnchoftheDayGivenlt. Exhibition of Articles from the Far-Off Lands Where the Church of Disciples lias Sent Its Preachers Ee rival at Acton, The pleasantly cool days of this week have encouraged the sojourners at Bethany to extend their acquaintance of the country surrounding them. So, daily immediately after the early breakfast, merry parties have set off on exploring expeditions to ward all points of the compass. The sum mit of Mount Etna, the next highest eleva tion In Indiana, and situated within a half hour's walk of the park, is the point to which many of these expeditions are directed. The ascent of this hill is not difficult enough to be a drawback, and if it was the view from the top, reavealing in tho distance the town of Centerton. a river lazily winding its way among the hills and fields would compensate most people for their trouble. Fishing parties to the mill-dam just beyond Brooklyn and to the river west of the park have also been a source of amusement to the young people at the park. Starting early in tho morning they generally manage to get back in time to hear Dr. Zollars's talks to the young preachers, which many besides those for whom tbey ire especially intended attend and enjoy. Yesterday morning the Doctor spoke upon a preacher's education. All the great re formers were educated men. be said, and upon the ministerof to-day it is incumbent that ho should bo at home in the dispensing of bis knowledge so that he may inspire his hearers with contidence. Among the studies which the Doctor mentioned as aids to ministers were knowledge of God's word, Hebrew,Greek, psychology,rhetoric,natural science, history, mathematics and homilet ics. Ho advised ministers not to be in a hurry to preach, but to first acquire knowl edge of what they are to preach. He closed with a few words to tho old ministers. Im mediately following this talk was an in formal reception held by tho Christian Women's Mission Board. The ladies exhibited to all their friends many curious articles from India and Jamaica. The wearing apparel, furniture, musical instruments and portraits of India missionaries and natives were examined with interest by those gathered in the board's cottage. Pretty articles from Ja maica, pressed and mounted ferns and mosses were shown and otlered for sale. When the people assembled, at 11 A. M., to bear the lecture of O. L. Wharton, a largo map of India was exhibited. It was made, as was afterwards explained, in Australia, "by use of needles, thread, ladies' lingers and a man's brain, the boundaries, rivers and towns being of narrow ribbons sewed upon white cloth." After the audience had joined in singing the old missionary hymn, "From Green laud's icy mountains and India's coral strand' Mr. Wharton, who, for eight years, was a missionary to India, was introduced. He first spoke of the geography of ludia, saying that, although it was only about halt as large as the United States, it pos sessed one-sixth of the population of the globe, and that a great variety of climate is one of its striking characteristics. Mr. Wharton told of British rule, of its faults, and also its manifold advantages. After explaining in regard to the geographical and political condition, he enumerated the number of missions established there, and read from the annual missionary book for 1&9. one account being of a man who stood in the water and baptized 710 people be fore he came out. Other statistics which he gave were very gratifying to the mis sionary workers. Ho said the missionsries in India have better houses and better things to eat than is generally thought, and that the people are not so diff erent from us. The dark side of the country was also presented. Its poverty, wretched markets, idolatrous religion and lack of Christian educational advantages, he said, made it the hardest of missionary fields. The lack of preachers is a drawback to speedy Christianization, there beinfc, only ono to every 700,000 souls, and there are territories as large as Indiana with not a single missionary in them. The session of the State Missionary So ciety began at 2 p. m. In the absence of Dr. A. K. Benton, who was ex pected to deliver tho opening ad dress, the society proceeded to trans act some preliminary business. State evan gelist, Rev. J. L. Parsons, read the report of the executive board in regard to the State work. He has only been an evange list since the resignation of J. P. Ewing. last February, but reported that during his time of office several churches had been founded and wero in good condition. How ard Cale then made a partial report of Mr. Ewing's woik. Following this was a slight discussion and appointment of committees by the chairman. In the evening Rev. D. R. Lucas deliv ered an address upon "The Two Books Nature and Revelation." He said that revelation was committed to men; that God had made spreading abroad the truths- a duty and the especial work of the church. At the conclusion of tho meetidg there was a solicitation of funds for the carrying for ward of the work in Indiana. This morn ing Dr. Zollars will complete his talk to young preachers, and tho assembly lecture will be delivered by Robert MotTet. of Ohio. In the afternoon the State Missionary So ciety will resume its proceedings. Prominent among the arrivals of Wednes day aud Thursday were Mr. and Mrs. James A. 'Pritchard. Maria Jameson. Win. Wallace and Amos Clifford, Indianapolis; G. L. Wharton, Bethany, W. Va.; U. C. Brewer, Danville; W, J. Loos. Louisville, Ky.; John Brazelton, North Vernon. Preaching at Acton. The interest in the meetings at Acton is sustained by tho earnestness with which their leaders strengthen their teachings and appeals. Yesterday the morning prayer service and the Bible readings were largely attended, and in the afternoon the Rev. M. B. Hyde had a good audience. His sermon was based on the twelfth verse of the first cbapter of Second Timothy. He said noth ing so keeps a man strong as a conviction that be is right. Paul had this conscious ness. 'We have," he continued, "a great many questions about theories, but they are not so important as the question: Am I right and loyal to the right! A man recently stood on the platform from which I speak and labored one hour to prove that Shakspeare was not the au thor of the writings ascribed to him. But no man has attempted to disprove the his toric Christ. But Paul could go so far as to say I know 111111.' He knew him not only as the historic Christ, but as a divine Savior. Peter knew Him in theory when be was profane, as well as when he praised Him, yet there was more than theory when he adored Him; for he praised Him as a Savior. There was a spiritual impartation that brought with it profound couviction and dauntless courage. Therefore, faith is essential to knowledge in religious mat ters." In the evening Dr. Bolton preached a strong sermon, aud after that service, as well as in tho afternoon, the altar was crowded with seekers of religiou. Nearly all the best cottages at the camp are occu pied, and a large number of visitors wero on the grounds yesterday, among whom were noticed Rev. G. S. Conner. Rev. T. W. Northcott aud wife, and Mrs. G. P. Jenkins, of Greencastle. Preparations are being made for several meetings next Sim day, so that every ono in the great crowd expected can bo reached. To-day the usual sessions will be held, with the afternoon sermon from Rev. J. F. Woodrntt". of Ames Church. Saturday there will bo a meeting at tt o'clock in the morniug, and in tho afternoon Dr. Will iamson will give his Bible reading on "Temptation." I'ledces Not Fulfilled. Many citizens, without regard to politics, are criticising tho Council for its delay in making street improvements. The Demo crats went into power with their platform of pledges that have not been redeemed, and many of tho people in tho southern wards are making loud complaints. The now cry that has been raised is on the sewerage question, some of the Dem ocratic touncilmen insisting that no pavements should bo laid, no matter how many property-owners desire them until the streets are sewered. "But that is all a blind," remarked a Democratic Councilman to a reporter last night, "for the pavement ordinances can be passed and then there will be plenty of time left to put the sewers in. I am getting sick and tired of some of the methods that have been practiced since this new Council went in, but what can I do to help it! Absolutely nothing." i FOE, SPECIFIC PURroSE. An Appropriation for Maintenance Cannot Be Used for Painting and Equipping. William Rahm, jr., president of the board of trustees of the Southern Hospital for Insane, at Evansville, wrote to the Attorney-general a few days ago on behalf of the board, asking for an opinion. Ho wanted to know whether they had tho right to spend money out of their $S5,0GO annual appropriation for the purpose of painting and of buying carpets, dry goods, linen and bed clothes. Mr. Rahm adds that the building needs considerable re painting inside, and that the central dome on the ground floor ought to be decorated to make it attractive, as it is tho intention to uso it for a visitors' reception-room.. In compliance with Mr. Rabm's request the Attorney-general yesterday rendered an opinion in which it is held that under the statutes it is clear that the Legislature intended that the ap propriation of SlfJi.OOO. under an act ap proved March 2, 1889, should defray all ex penses of construction, equipment and fur nishing of the hospitals, and that the $3.000 appropriation 6hould ba devoted solely to maintenance and repairs. The opinion aennea me meamug jj hjo wuiub equipment and maintenance, and holds that the authority to maintain cannot be construed into an authority to equip. In the ordinary life of an institution when equipment wears out it is field that the trustees may replace what is deemed neces sary, using the regular annual appropria tion for that purpose, but that tho latter cannot be used to purchase entirely new equipment in the first instance. In brief, the Legislature appropriated the $165,000 for the purpose of equipping the additional hospitals and the regular annual mainten ance appropriation must be used to keep the property up after it is equipped. Of the f 165,01)0 appropriated for the construc tion and equipment of the additional hos pitals there remains in the State treasury something more than $85,000. MINOR CITY MATTERS. Local News Notes.

T. 21. C. A. LEAGUE IN TEOUBLE. News and Meridians Have a Controversy About Violations cf Rules and a Protested Game. There is trouble in the Y M. C. A. League that threatens to disrupt the organization. It all arose from last Saturday's game be tween the Meridians and News, which the former team won by a score of 8 to 3, and which the News protested because of an infraction of the rules by the Meridians. Tho latter played a couplo of men not members of the association, which is clearly a violation of the rules, though not the first one. Here tofore, however, the clubs violating the rules have always lost their games, hence there was no protest, nor would there have been on the part of the News team, it is urged by the Meridians, had Sat urday's game not resulted in their favor. The protest was decided against them, and they are talking of dis banding or withdrawing from the League. On the other band, bad the decision been against the Meridians it seems to havo been their expressed intention of doing the same thing, so the dilemma was rather a perplexing one. The News team's proposition was to play the gamo over, and it was certainly fair enough, but Captain McKee, of the Meridians, says he will not compromise in that way, for the reason that he had no ideaof causing any trouble when be put in the two players Sat urday who were not members of tho asso ciation. He had seen the same thing done before, and it never occurred to him that there would be a protest. Had he thought so he would have either paid the membership fees for them or obtained permission from Captain Eckman, of the News team, to play tbo men. His club was badly crippled. and he urged that the gamo be postponod because of tfce rain, but Eck man insisted upon playing it. His known desire to have it postponed, he urges, is proof absolute that he never thought of taking an unfair advantage by putting in the two players not mem bers of the association. The mem bers of tho News team claim that the rules should be lived up to, and that their position in the matter is right. Their protest is undoubtedly well grounded but of questionable taste, for, as above sug gested, had they won tho matter would probably never have been agitated. They should abide by the decision and join with the other clubs in seeing to it that hereafter there shall be no violation of tbo rule in that or any other way. The talk on the part of either the Meridians or News of withdrawing if they cannot have a decision to suit them is childish, and the sooner it is abandoned tho better all arouud. Had Saturday's been the first and only instance where tho rules were violated it would be different, but as members of the contendiug clubs bad known of previous infactions and had Tacitly countenanced them the only thing tbey can consistently do now is to let the game go as played and avoid a repetition of the trouble. SONS OF ST. GEORGE. The First Steps Toward the Organization of a Lodge of Englishmen in This City, The first steps toward the organization of a lodge of the order of St. George were taken last night in the Bates House club room. About a score of citizens born in England responded to the call for the meet ing, issued by Joseph Preece, of Allegheny City. Mr. Preeco is one of the visitingdele- gatostothe moldors' convention. Being a Son of St. George, he turned to tho directory on coming here in search of a lodge of the order, and, find ing there was none, at once uotermiued to see whether one could not be organized. The progress made last night indicated that his cllort will be successful. It was decided to proceea to organization, and it was ordered that each member constitute himself a committee of one to induce other Englishmen to enter as charter members, twenty of these being required. A meeting to hear reports on canvassing was set for next Tuesday night. A long talk about the Eurposes. nature and conditions of tnem ersbip ensued, during a threehours' session. The order is one for those born in England, or the sons or grandsons of par ents of such persons. It is a benevolent order, paying sick benefits and funeral ex-. penses. Its purpose Is to bring those eligible to membership in to closer fellowship and greater measure of influence. Among those who subscribed to the petition for a charter wero Joseph Solomon, who acted as chair man of tho raeetinir; A. W. Dawson, the secretary; John C. Brill, J. H. Atkinson, T. H. Powell. S. T. Jordan, John Jordan, William H. Eccles. E. F. Tavenor. W. H. Andrews, Edward Dickinson, John Levick, William Jackson and William R. Milts. The Model's Annnal Picnic. The Model Clothing Company, in accord ance with a custom which it originated in 1SS4. gave its annnal picnic to the poor children of the city yesterday at Blue river Park. J. G. Kirkwdod was in charge of the excursion, and to him and his corps of assistants is the success of the occasion to be largely attributed. The hour of 7 o'clock in the morning had been fixed for the meeting of the little folks at tho Model store, but two hours before a number had come prepared to take time by tho fore lock and be certain of the pleasant trip that was promised them. Nearly two thousand children were ready when the appointed hour came, and the march to the Union Station was commenced. From their smiling countenances and light steps it was evident that tho company's object bad been secured, for every ono was happy. Tho day at the park was spent in amusement of every sort, with a good, hearty dinner to cheer the young guests. Sl William Sayres's Wild Driving. William Sayres caused a sensation last night, and led the police a long chase be fore they arrested and put him behind bars at the station-house. Early in the evening, accompanied by a young lady, he 6pent an hour or more in driving. At 11 o'clock they drove the entire length of the Washington-street asphalt pavement, going west. From the way Sayres lashed his horse, patrolmen Pope and Kinney de termined to stop the couple if they re turned. In a few minutes, however, they were seen to turn south on Tennersce 6treet, and ths officers, by running, over took them on Kentucky avenue. Kinney attempted to stop the horse, but was thrown aside. Climbing over tho rear of the seat, be got into the buggy and took the reins. Sayres resisted, but was overpowered and sent to tho central station. He will be tried this morning on tho charges of pro fanity, fast driving and cruelty to animals. Will Not Reinstate Thein. The end of tho Panhandle switchmen's strike followed quick upon its inception. General Superintendent Miller went home yesterday afternoon pleased at tho early settlement of the trouble. "It was an ill advised thing," said be, "and ought never to have been begun." A number of the discharged men, under the dread of the necessity of removing to other cities for employment, sought Superintendent Darl ington for reinstatement, but were refused. "You men made a mistake," he told them, 4and I am sorry you made it, but I cant be responsible for your mistakes. I can do nothing for you." The men returned again accompanied by men of some influence, but the same answer was returned. Many of tho men havo families, upon whom the error works a hardship. July Deuth Rate. In July there were 1C1 deaths in the city. as against 170 in July, 1SMJ. Twenty-one deaths resulted from cholera infantum and seven from typhoid. Of tho total number of persons who died, eighty-one were males and 140 white. Meeting? Poorly Attended. The citizens of the First. Seventh, Eighth, Nineteenth and Twenty-first wards, who are desirous of having natural gas supplied to them, wero to have held a meetiugln the Council chamber yesterday afternoon, but nothing was done beyond tho selection of officers. William Parke was chosen chair man and L. Clotigh. secretary. Owing to the few who were present it was decided to call another meeting Saturday evening in the Criminal Court room. TIIE .MACHINERY MOLDERS. They Spend Part of the Day Visitinp and Make Up Lost by Roldinjj aLon Niffht Session. The meeting of the National Brotherhood of Machinery Molders continued yesterday as committee of the whole, considering pro posed amendments to tho constitution of the organization. In the afternoon the delegates were taken about the city, visiting the principal foundries, the State Capitol and the Hos pital for tho Insane. They were accom panied by Councilman Markey. To make up for the lost time, so as to be able to fin ish their work to-day. a night session was held. Tho recommendation of the committee to abolish tho office of treasurer and constitute a bank in the city of tho president a depository of funds, was concurred in. The constitu tion was also so amended as to provide for the protection and support of committees appointed to adjust labor troubles. The office of corresponding secretary was abol ished, and the duties added to those of the financial secretary. By a new law the president may be selected from among all the members, and not, as here tofore, from among delegates only. A provision was incorporated in the constitution that any diilerences that may arise between a molder and his employer must first be considered by the local brotherhood and an oiler to arbitrate made before the International Brotherhood can be called into the case. This was ex plained to mean that every method must bo taken to remove differences by arbitra tion before a strike is ordered. The con vention will close to-day with the election of officers and the selection of a city in which to hold tho next convention. There seems to be but little division as to the offices, but a sharp fight is on between the cities for tho convention. PHASES OF POLITICS. Chairman Michener's Visit to Republicans of Two Districts. Chairman Michener, of the Republican State central committee, returned last night from the southern part of the State, where he had been in conference with lead ing men of the party in that section. He was at Mitchell Tuesday where the Second district Republicans met, and at Evansville Wednesday, where he found the 'men of the First district at one of the largest political meetings of the kind over held in that city. At Mitchell, also, the number in attendance was large, and at both places the enthusiasm, harmony and earnestness promised well for a vigorous campaign. Twentieth Ward Republicans. The Twentieth ward Republicans have perfected a club organization and elected the following officers for the campaign: President, T. G. Alford; vice-president and treasurer, W. D. Wilson; secretary, Frank Richmond. There was a large turnout at the last meeting, and some good talks were made. It is intended to have a big meet ing next Friday eveninp, with good speak ers and music. Tho club-room is at the corner of Noble street and Fletcher avenue, and has been made an attractive place.
