AT FISOILLE.
Tria! of Teacher Hobson Proves' Eathei interesting:. The '.rial of Elmore Hobson of the Fiskville schools began yesterday before large and cultured audienco at the school house and wus concluded to-day. 1\ Mount appeared for the defendant and L. J. Coppage for the plaintiffs. The charge against Hobson was cruelty and general incompetency. The festivities opened by swearing about fifty or sixty enterprising and eager witnesses who all greatly desired to say something. The three sons of Mr. Coppage, Mr. Coppage and wife, and Miss Bertha Elliott testified for the plaintiffs, Mr. Coppage stating that there were several others who would hare testified had not the inclement weather kept them away. Master Joe Coppage, a youth of tender years, affirmed that on one occasion at playtime when he was somewhat noisy that Hobson had seized him by the collar and jabbed his head against a sharp window sill, besides inflicting other little endearments of alike nature. On one other occasion he was whispering to his brother Glenn when Hobson seized him by the shirt collar, tearing the buttons off, and hurling him against a seat so that his back hurt for a week. Master foe still had on the same shirt and roudly exhibited its defacement to the matronly sympathy of Snpt. Zuck.
When Hobson had treated Joe thus, his brother Glenn arose and said, ''Let's go home Joe," but Hobson then seized him and choked him until he was black in the face and spit blood all over the house. Glenn had choked the teacher back and a very warm fight indeed wa6 presented. This led to Glenn's leaving school and the preferment of the charges. Joe testified that on another occasion Hobson had whipped Master Charles Jones with a pointer. Master Jones, a very small boy with a very dirty face, was here instructed to stand in order that Mr. Zuck might size him up. TJnfoitnnately the right parties forgot to tell him to sit down and the terrified nrchin remained standing for nearly an hour until his legs gave out and he fell into his seat with a gulp of terrorized anguish. It was also sworn to that Mr. Hobson had lassoed Master Dan Burris, a chunk of a boy, upon one occasion for some disobedience and dragged him up the aisle by the neck tying his hands behind him when at the blackboard.
Master Joe also sworo that Mr. Hobson kept the articles he took away from the boys for being displayed in study hours. The rest of the plaintiff's testimony was to the same effect and in addition to the effect that Glenn's fight with the teacher had resulted in an old injury to his foot being opened which might result in its having to be amputated. Glenn swore that when he had the fight that Hobson had used him for an eraser and had rubbed problems off the blackboard with him. Bertha Elliott stated that after the fight little Joe lay sometime with his mouth open gapping for breath and that Glenn was purple in the face with tinger prints in his throat.
Mr. Coppage stated that a certain Mrs. Harris living on Green street near Gilbert's bakery, had once sent her nine year-old daughter to Hobson .Uace, and that Hobaon had relieved the monotony of affairs by standing her on the platform and throwing chairs at her. The prosecution then closed and Mr. Hobson taking the stand entered a gen eral denial. He declared everything had been exaggerated and that his school was now in good running order. He stated that the Coppage boys were bad and unruly but specified no crimes of a startling nature. Mr. Hobson' witnesses were bettor for his cause than he was. A number of them testified to the fact that Glenn was a case and that the cruelty of Hobson was not of heinous a character as pictured. Georgi Maxwell testified that several of the scholars had it in for Hobson and that Miss Amber Rogers, aged 9 years, had once threatened to whip the teacher.
Others testified that Glenn Coppage was not so afraid of his sore foot but that he was about the neighborhood giv ing acrobatic exhibitions for the edification of the rising generation, The tea timony was concluded this morning &nd the arguments are being heard this afternoon in Mr. Zuck's office.
Thrilling Runaway.
This morning Ben Jones, the popular vendor of milk, was driving along back of the college.tippy in his covered wagon and warm charcoal fire. Suddenly, however, his horses took fright at a yel low dog and ran off. They tore the wagon to a thousand pieces and covered that whole end of town with a thick coating of milk, which freezing, was de voured by the Slimpkin children as neo patitan ice cream. Ben was thrown out on the cold, hard street but was not hurt. ltising and gazing at the ruin about him he ruefully exclaimed, "Well. I'll declare!" and then started on a trot for home.

Judge Snyder Immersed.
Lem Gipscra lives at the intersection of Wabash avenue and Gipson street and thereby hangs a tale. Gipson street was recently filled in and as Lem's lot is low it was left a regular hole in the ground. Naturally when the floods came and the rain descended the lot filled up and water about six inches deep stood on Lem's floor, covering the brussels carpet, floating the chairs and tablest diowuing the dog and oat, giving the children bad colds, putting out the gas fires, necessitating the wearing of rubber boots and making the habitation of the house altogether undesirable. Lem decided to sue the oity for damages and yesterday as Judge Snyder went past on his way down town L«m called him in. The Judge had on high rubber boots and went wading through the rooms with almost youthful glee taking an inventory of damages. It so happened that the oellar door in the back room had been left open, and as the room was rather dark and six inches of water on the floor, the Judge stepped squarely into the hole before his host had time to warn him. He sauk to the bottom and coming up missed the opening and bumped his head against the ratters of the cellar ceiling. Again he snnk but this time he was more fortunate and came up through the door •vhen Lem seized him and pulled him out by the hair exolaiming in a loud voioe, "Necessity knows no law!" The Judge is inclined to think that Lem put up a job on him in order to make him more zealous in the prosecution of the case.
A Mmng-of Names.
Some time ago Michael Lowerie, ac companied by a blooming young lady, entered tlje office of an attorney here and stated that he desired to enter divorce proceedings against his wife. The complaint made out, Mr. Lowrie smilingly informed the attorney that the lady who accompanied him also desired to make suit for a divorce from her husband. The lady was Mattie Newlin and according a suit was instituted against her husband, Jim. It was a pretty muddle of fish, to be sure, but. the course of true love and the divorce mill ran smoothly and harmoniously, and in due season both Mike.and Mattie were freed from the galling bonds of matrimony. Yesterday they took out a license and were gloriously and hilarously married. There was just one little oversight, however. When Mrs.
Newlin got her divorce she*failed to ask for her maiden name, Mattie McClure. When the marriage license was taken out, it was made out for Michael Lowrie and Mattie McClure. Her name was not Mattie McClure but Mattie Newlin. and Mike must bestir himself and make nunc pro tunc entry at once. This would doubtless make Mattie feel better and would render the marriage legal beyond question. When two -such shining social lights make a bad break it tends to demoralize the body politic.
Mrs. Eussell on a Eampage, Some time ago J. L. Church, of Linden, sold a piece of property to Mrs. Diana Russell. She didn't pay for it, however, and Church instituted ejectment proceedings against her. Grant Agnew and Col. Tribby went up yesterday to Berve notice .on the lady and knowing her to be handy with her fists sued for peace, by laying the blame on Henry D. VanCleave, the attorney tnrough whom she had filed her schedule. Muttering out threats of vengance and profanity Mrs. Russell descended on Crawfordsville last evening and bore down on Mr. YanCleave's office. He had received news of the enemy's approach, however, and had made himself scarce. Mrs. Russell is now bick at Linden in possession ol her castle and is defying the world.
Pan Jiallenic Dance,
The Pan Hellenic dance given by the Greek letter fraternities of Wabash College at the P.O.S.ofA. armory last night proved to be a most enjoyj.bie affair. About 38 couples were on the floor and until a late hour the festivities were prolonged. The MuFic Hall orchestra furnished the music and refreshments in the shape of punch was served. Besides the regular college boys there quite a number of alumni present and several out of town guests. The dance was greatly enjoyed by nil present.
foot Crushed,
Yesterday at Waynetown Wm. Roberts, a Big Four brakenian, had his foot terribly crushed. The train on which he was running broke and threw him between the cars. He had an exceedingly narrow esoa^e from a terrible death. He was taken to his home in Indianapolis for treatment.
Creamery Sold.
The Crawfordsville Creamery was sold yesterday, N. J. Clodfelter buying it in for $1,800. The Veedersburgh plant was sold to-day and W. T. Brush, J. W. Stroh, Ben Crane and W. E. Humphrey went over to see that it was done correctly.
A Good Show.

The oratorical contestants n.re still scrapping over judges. §|§S Bard and Bushnell, the bearded Juniors, are said to be thinking of putting their patent hair forcer and restorer on the market. It they do they will reap a fortune.
Harry Morgan took English with the Freshmen for several dayB and was initiated into the Sigma Chi Fraternity. The rules of most college fraternities provide that only college students shall be admitted but the law is frequently dodged as in Mr. Morgan's oase.
In this column yesterday we stated that students only would be admitted t6 the primary o'otorical contest next Thursdny evening in the college chapel. Now lest a wrong construction be placed on the above, we will say that the orations will soon be given in public, it was thought best not to inflict the same orations twice on th» people. Therefore the audience (next Thursday) will be limited to the faenlty, students and alhrnui.

A howl was raised but the winner left on a night train and the losers are too sore for expression to-day.
