A corner in apples is being formed, aud if plans do not fail, the apple trust will be one of the largest trusts formed by fruit dealers for years. The idea originated in Chicago. That city will be the headquarters, but the plan has extended to all the large cities, and Indianapolis is "in it.'1 The plan is to buy all the apples in the country, place them in cold storage and then dictate tho price next season. It is almost impossible to buy sound apples at this time, all the picked ones haying beeu sold to the agents of the trust. The apples now on sale at

11.75 a barrel are ''droppings,

from Lawrence county to Orange. A few days before the trial was tirst appointed he was transferred to the jail at Paoli, where he was

beaten almost to death by an insane prisoner. He has never recovered from the injuries received and he is now an imbecile. He realizes his surroundings no more than would a newly-born child, and he is almost entirely helpless. His condition is such that death may follow at any time. Some time ago he was tried at Paoli and given a life sentence at Michigan City, but a new trial was granted on ei i or. Lwn at that time Flora was insaue, but the sheriff of Orange eountv, it is said, was afraid that the Lawrence county people would take the prisoner and lynch him, so he brought him back to the reformatory.. Flora was confined in tho jail of this city for several weeks after the commission of the crime, before being taken to Bedford to plead to the indictment.

The apellate court passed upon the following case of local interest yesterday: Francis M. Stephenson vs. Lydia Gillaspie, Monroe C. C. Appeal dismissed, Black, J. In the absence of a linal judgment no no appeal lies from a ruling on a demurrer addressed to a pleading or from exceptions to the conclusions of law on a special finding of facts, and where the record fails to show the entry of a final judgment determining the rights of the parties, an appeal must be dismissed. This was a suit wherein Mrs. Gillaspie sued Stephenson to enforce the. collection of a note. Her demands was met by a note given to Stephenson by her deceased husband which Stephenson alleged should offset his debt.

The love of her son was acted out and portrayed with such feeling and effect that despite the sin and shame of former years, entailed

j by the character, .she carried her

audience with her, and taugl

them a lesson in the single standard

of morals, they, that saw it will not soon forget. The character

is one of deep feeling and intense

ly dramatic possibilities, which

Miss Paige filled remarkably wel

and made the most of. Her Felicia will be long remebered and cherished bv those who saw it as a superb piece of work. The Monjoi of Mr. Richmond was handsomely done, and deserves special mention for its polish and reading. Mr. A slil. y as Captain Daniel read Lis part nicely and because of its ' 'fatness'"' it was a success, but he is sadlv lucking in facial expression, joy or sorrow are the same to him as an actor and while he has grace and is capable of good reading he loses some effectiveness by not using facial expression in keeping with his lines. The scene where he discovers Felicia is not his auut but his own mother might have been made more impressive by Mr. Ashhy, had it not been Tor this fault. The Beauchampof Mr. Bailey was the best thing he has done this week, and it was a dignified and exacting role. Mons. Godfery by Howard Benton was a good bit of work. Mr. Jennings had a thankless small part in Mons. Morrisean, that was fairly well done. Miss Blanchard who did the part of Edith was winsome but has a faculty of playing every character alike. She might have made more of scenes in which her heart was in the balance. Al in all the company did splendidly and " A Soldier of France" was a very enjoyable performance. To-night "A Box of Cash" will be presented and $5 given away as usual. Dr. Potts was the win-
