We believe sincerely that the trnstees and the State are to be congratulated on this choice.

i)R, GEORGE 8. BURROUGHS.
Highly (Jouipiiineniary to the New Fresi dent of Wabash College. The trustees of Wabash College have formally elected Dr. George Stockton Burroughs, of the faculty of Amheret to be president. No doubt they had assurances beforehand that Dr. Bur roughs would accept the presidency, so the ijuest-on of a successor to Dr. Tuttle is now at rest. The choice is an excellent one in all ways. Dr. Bur roughs is at the best ago lor good work Dis native ability is of a high and tine quality. IIis attainments in scholar ship are wide and solid. His success as a preacher and an instructor haB been llattering. His scholastic lineage is of the best. He studied at Princtton when such wise and sane Christian scholars as Doctors McCosh, Atwator, Guyot and Packard in the college, and Doctors Charles Houge, Green and AlcGill, the seminary, (not to mention any more 1 we-e in the full maturity of their great po.vers.
be tiie champion middle weight of the South, although it is patent to every one who saw him Saturday that he has about as much right to the assumption of that dignitied title us Dr. Small liae Mr. Henderson, who is a thoroughly lisreputable young thug and bummer if there ever was one, has been in sover-
I tights before and enjoys the somewhat rare and enviable distinction of having been knocked out by a listie female of ehadv character, in an Indian apolis dive about six months ago.
How two such estimable and praise worthy young men ever met in Craw fordsville is a question which admits of much cogitation, nnd the natural result of such a meeting was of course a mill for tho edification of that class in which their eminent scholarship and genius allow them '.rain. It was perhaps 3 o'clock in afternoon when about 150 promUiuiit young men, among whom could be eeen such lovable and jocose spirits ae Col. Nig Seering, "Duffer"' McCabe, Mort Acker aud others, walked out across the till to the spot assigned for the great fistic encounter, The principals were on the ground stripped in regulation style and munch ing tobacco and pretzels with an appetite and zest suggestive of tho mvthi logical old mare of Gargnntes. It was indeed a good sight and one not soon to be forgotten. When the ring was formed aud Messrs. Tansey anl Hen derson stood out before the udmiring throng like two, wild beautiful things of the sea—comely and well proportioned almost to godliness. Mr. Archie Voung, the founder and president of the Colored Athletic Club, was behind Mr. Henderson, while Col. Nig Soerin stood in like relation to "the champion middle weight of the South." It the happiest moment of Nig's liie and he looked as haughty as Tarquin the Proud, as he coyly kicked several small boys in the ribs and invited them to "stan' back and give de coves room See?" Mr. Bell Mitchell acted ae ref eree and throughout the thrilling battle maintained a composure nnd exercised an exactness nnd deliberation worthy even of greater things. Whenever the men came close enough to eaah other to strike he called out, "break away," ant the young gentlemen as a general thing lost no time in doing
bo.
It had been
agreed mt Mr. TanBey should adminis ter to the pugilistic wants of Mr. Hen der and deliver him safely into the care nnd keopiug of a certain ancient chap called Morpheus in four rounds, and to encourage him in this philanthropic endeavor a purse of S4.(iT was raised bv the congregation which was materially encouraged to this aid by Mr. Tansey, who kindly volunteered to throw those not contributing into the adjacent creek. Mr. Tansey's style of beauty gave weight to his words aud all who staid chipped in as Providence had prospered them.
When time was called the aspirants for gladitorial hgnors and that Si.07 walked to tho center of the ring with their heads ducked and their eves cocked, and proceeded to shake hand.?. They then began to walk about each other in a circle after the manner of dnng hill roosters which they so con sistently typified throughout their onn guinnry struggle. Occasionally one made a lungo in the other's direction and then darted back with a snort like that of a wild sow surprised in a mud hole. At a sally of this sort there would be vociferous applause from the audience and the gentle voice of Archie Young, of Gambrinus Hall, could be heard urging Mr. Henderson to lead with hiB right and "paste him on de snoot." When time was called at the end of the first round hardly a blow had been exchanged although both contestants were pulling with a noise similar to that made by an overworked clover hitller, while their perspiriug bodies gave forth a redolence similar to that of every well regulated soap factory. In the second round tho gentlemen warmed up a little and the champion of the south gave the woman fighter a slow shove on tho ear which brought him to his knees and caused Mr. Mitchell to give utterance to the following impref--nive words: "First knock down for Mr. Tansey. Stand back gentlemen and give him air."
After that glorious and soul-stirring "knock down" both gentlemen were exceedingly leary of each other nnd as deferential as "book agents before a sale When the fourth round was ended Mr. Henderson waB still nnknocked and had a right to the 61.07 which was, however, divided, Mr. Tansey having agreed 11' tho beginning of the fourth round noi to administer tho slopping draught if Henderson would continue the tight. The crowd then camo to town and Mr. Henderson sent the following touching telegram to his lady love in fndianapo-

H. PHELPS HAY
A 00LLEGE STUDENT INAUGURATES
A PE0ULIAR SUIT.
He
Wants tho Property of tho Girl lie
Loved Who Died and Left Him
Lone aud Lorn,
Nearly everybody in town remembers Harry Phelps Hay who attended Wabash College lust year and who took such an active part in religious work. He is a dapjKir young man with dark complexion and raven locks, always neatly attired in a black Prince Albert uit nnd distinguished by a pair of nose glasses. He boarded with Dr. Duncan last year and in the college was noted for the Y. M. C. A. work which I10 did and his prominence in the work of the
F.pwoith League of the Methodist hurcli. 11. Phelps Hay has distinguished himself as tho following extract from the Chicago Tribune bears witness
The novel spectacle of a onco prospective father-in-law aud his daughter's lover fighting for the possession of the estate of tho young woi:-an, who is now dead, is presented in a Circuit Court bill tiled yesterday. H. Phelps Hay is the bereaved lover who has appealed to the courts 'Die defendant is GeorgoC. Phelps, of Englewood. Miss Inez Phelps, his daughter and the complainant's sweetheart, was the young Inly whose estate is in controversy. She was 32 years old when she died last June. Her lover 23. Books and keepsakes worth S500 and real estate valued nt SI,000 form the property in contest.
Hay, the complainant, was brought here from the East four years ago and given a home in the Lelps household while he was completing a course at the Englewood Normal school. During all the time he is said to have maintained 11 correspondence with another young woman whose acquaintace he formed in his Eastern home.
The bill itself is a novelty. In storybook language the complainant shows that:
In the year 1887 ho began correspondence by letter with Inez Phelps, then residing in Englewood, an only daughter of George C. Phelps that he and Miss Phelps were related as couinsgerman, and being so related, there easily sprung up a friendly acquaintance that soon grew into a correspond once that evoked the deepest and most sincere expressions of love of the one toward the other. So that from between the year 1887 and 1802 they be came more and more endeared to rach other, and by mutunl consent and desire this endearment was, Jan. 1, 1892, further evidenced by a formal betrothal of the one to the other. The consideration therefor was their mutual love to and for each other, and giving and hold ing in deepest devotion and sancity the on' to the other throughout their natural lives, which consideration wns part of their existence for and on behalf of each other long prior to Jan. 1, 1892.
But the contract was not made public. Explaining this silence the bill says the secret was kept bocauso of the sacred nc-ss of the obligations the complainant considered liimEolf under by reason of his entering into the contract. Nevertheless his atiianced confided to certain of her most esteemed friends outside the family relatives the fact that she aud the complainant were about to be betrothed. Continuing the bill de scribes the singular "engagement" as follows:
At the time of the betrothal Miss Phelps received from yonr orator a plain gold ring as an earnest of a pledge thai he would fcr tho considerations on her part fulfill to her his promises,made and entered into under the betrothal, and she accepted the same in confirmation of her obligations under the mutual contract.
For a further consideration and in continuance of the contract the complain ant and his affianced pro forma, and in the name and for and on behalf of all the real and personal property, therefore, owned, nnd then in posession of these contracting parties, interchanged with each other a book, and stated at the same time that what was the complainant's should thenceforth be the property of his espoused, but to be used in com" mon, inter se, and at the same time and place 6he stated that what was hers should thenceforth be the property of and belong to the complainant-, only the same should be used in common during their lives, the title thereto to be abso lute in tho survivor.
Miss Phelps died June 21 intestate and leaving George C. Phelps, her father, and the complainant heirs at law. Hay avers that tho intentions of tho deceased as expressed in many letters to him, make him the solo owner of the estate. He declares his belief that Mr. PhelpB is about to sell the personal property. An injunction restraining such action is asked, aud a decree conferring the title to him. Attached to tho lull is a series of letters intended to show the intended comonality. One of them is as follows:
Thursday Morning, December 7.— This is for good-bye until I see you again, darling. It is a busy, busy girlie that is yours busy and glad in the Christmas doings. It is all of little things—many that my hands have touched in tho making—but, my dear, has been warm with love in tho doing. I had a Christmas present yesterday. I'm anxious to show it to yon. I think it will be larger when I share it with you, precious, for all mine is thine, nnd I love you, I am to see you —new thoughts will come—the life in love must bo larger thereby. O, Father, strengthen the love, I'm all yours.
Publication of the bill brought Mr. Phelps, tho defendant, to the court house yesterday nfternoon. Ho road the petition and declared the story absurd. "It's all nonsense," said he. "I took tho boy to my house because ho had no advantages in tho East. He attended tho Normal School, taught for awhile, and last vojir went to school at Crawfordsville, Ind. He was corresponding with a girl in tho East all the lime, and it's a Bhame that lie should bring an action of this kind."
