ME. 8W.ITZEE SAW THE SPOOK.
He iJeLolds the Midnight Wraith 'Which Alarmed Mr. Martin's Ice Men. It seems that Marshall Mclntvre and Bill Grny were not the only witncBeesof the mysterious apparition which hovered over our city from midnight on Friday on till the dawn of Sal unlay morning. Several otlierB witnessed the ghostly visitor and were also completely town but out mystified both by its appearance and its actions. Kev. G. W. Switzer, of the Methodist church, saw it. anil his story is rather interesting.[_ Shortly after midnight he stepped into his back door yard to get a drink at the well. As he
stood there a strange weird sensation ricultural products crept over him and although lie is unable to say whether he was attracted by any Hound or not li attention drawn upward, and raising his as many people out viewing eyes with the full expectation of beholding something, he saw what both puzzled and astonished him. The night was very dark and very still, no breath of air stirring, but propelled by some unseen force Le saw sweeping toward him from the southwest the apparition. it was about Hi feet long and eight feet wide, resembling a mass of iloating drapery. "Sh:i|ai| liken lleeey. milk white clolnl,
Or like demon ill n^hrouil." It was much too low to be a cloud and moved far too swiftly, besides there was no wind at all. It seemed to work about as it swam through the air in a writhing, twisting manner similar to the glide of some serpents, Mr. Switzer called his wife out and they watched it until got just east of the church when it began to descend as though about to land in the yard of Mrs. ,T. M. Lane. They then lost sight of it for the moment. but Mr. Switzer proceeding into the street saw it arise again and he and his wife then watched it circle about town for some time, linally tiring and going into the house with the strange {phenomenon still visible. Mr. Switzer is wholly unable to account for it but- is satisfied that it was not the Shawnee
Mound ghost. V. Irwin savs that it
was a spirit, while the unkindc-M. remark
THE CONTRACT LET,
The Chester Company, of Philadelphi, Will Put in the Gas Mains For $240,000. A. F. Ramsey returned from Indianapolis yesterday where he went Saturday evening to sign the contract for the putting in of gas pipes in Crawfordsviilo and from Orawfordsville to the fields at Sheridan. The contract was awarded to the Chester Pipe and Tube Company, of. Philadelphia, for the very neat little own of 8-40,000. The Chester Company will furnish all material and put in all the mains in Crawfordsville, and between Crawfordsville ana Sheridan. They will bore seven good wells and connect them with the lines, putting everything in readiness for use. The mains running north and south in Crawfordsville will be eight inch mains similar to those between here and Sheridan: the pipes running east and west in the city are six inches, and then besides there are a number of four and even two inches branches. The pipe is now being loaded in Philadelphia for shipment and the work begins at once and will lie under the direction of John McAlevv. Work will be begun simul-
later!
Circuit Court.
The September term of court begins to-day with Judge Snyder on the[bench. His term will expire the last of October. Judge Harney will enter upon his duties with the beginning of the November
term.-".-
—There was a most exciting and elevating dog fight yesterday afternoon down by the Christian church. Two largo brutes closed with each other and it required the whole neighborhood to separate then. When the upper dog was finelly dragged off his adversary he took the whole side of his jaw with him. It was a most ghastly and brutal sight.

A SCENE OF LIFE,

Greatest County Fair in Indiana—
Notes From the Grounds.
The liveliest place in the city yesterday was the fair grounds. The streets presented a deserted appearance down
on the grounds all was
hustle and business. Stockmen were hurrying to and fro preparing for the week's exhibition, hucksters were raising their stands and tents, horsemen were grooming up their horses and puttmg up jobs upon their opponents, ag-
were rolling in and
everything betoken busy life. Probably there never was a Sunday iu the
suddenly felt his history of the grounds when there were
the prep
arations as were there yesterday. There were several thousands out and the grounds were fairly thronged with carriages and pedestrians. The grounds presented their best appearance and everywhere the work was well along, much further advanced, in fact, than is the ease (in Sunday. The managers were all out and were kept busy giving directions and superintending the disposition of the exhibits, which continued to pour in all day. The race track was never in a better condition than it is at present and if the fair weather continues through the week some groat events in the speed ring are certain. A glance through the sjieed entries shows much good blood to be on the ground and the owners of the horses are all here for blood,

This is probably the last year that races will be given here on a half-mile track. The mile track seems to be an assured thing for next year.
Remember that the ladies of the Christian church have charge of the dining hall and will furnish first class meals at most reasonable prices.
Never before havo the grounds looked so beautiful. The late rains have left everything clean and fresh and the grass and trees have on their most attractive garb,
There is a largo and choice force of special jjolieemen on the grounds and all drunken or disorderly chaiacters will be promptly jailed or driven out of the grounds.
The good people of Crawfordsville would do well to look to their door locks and window fastenings this week. Large numbers of tough characters are coming in from neighboring cities and will be on the lookout for all kinds of game.

The export outlook was never tx'tter immensely increased sums will bo sent to the United States for our product. Ulterior inlluenivs may, Jof course, interfere with the brilliant pros]ect, but we confess wo are beginning to share more fully the hopes of certain well informed but conservative agriculturists who predict letter profits for the farmers of the United Stales during the next year than ever before.
There will be no return of "war" prices, but the money received above expenses goes further and enable the farmer to get more value out of his profits than any previous period.

At that time the "committee of one hundred" broke the business up. No pools will be sold on the fair grounds as the association does not countenance the business.
THE HAPPY FARMER.
With Big Crops and High Prices, His Prospects are Unusually Bright,
The estimate put forward by the American Aurienlturi.it in its annual review of harvests, to ap])oar in the forthcoming September issue of that journal, shows tnat farm profits in the United StateB this year will bo $1,000,000,000 more than they have been during the late years of depression.
On the basis of present prospects, this nuthority estimates the corn crop of 1891 at 2,000,000,000 bushels, wheat 500,000,000. This makes the total prospective crop of corn, wheat and oats 8,122,000.000 bushels, or 28.8 per cent, greater than the last year, and 14.7 per
