Some Interesting Figures.
A bulletin was issued at Washington this week which makes a good showing for Indiana in the matter of real estate mortgage indebtedness. The amount existing January 1, 1800, was $110,730,643, two thirds of which was on acre property, and one third on lots. The average mortgage indebtedness per capita was $51* lower than that of any Northern State that has been tabulated, save Maine and New Hampshire. The indebtedness is but 9.79 per cent, of the estimated value of the real estate. The average rate of interest is G.84 per cent, a decline of nearly 1 per cent, in the decade.
GOMES HIGH
To Toy with the Affections of Another Man's Wife—A Sad Scene. The suit of Wesley Shotts vs. William Pyles for §5,000 for alienating the affections of his wife, occupied the attention of the court, the first of the week. The evidence in the case was so filthy and disgusting as to exclude it from publication. Mrs. Shotts occupied a seat at the elbow uf Pyles and rendered him all the assistance possible in the trial. The nature of the case drew the usual crowd of idle loafers that eagerly gulped down every word of the smutty evidence, the pretty little twelve-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Shotts occupied a Beat by the father, into whoso custody the court had placed her a few weeks ago when the divorce was granted. Tuesday when the court adjourned for dinner Mrs. Shotts made a rush 1'or tho chiki, seized her by her arm and tried to drag her away. The husband quickly grabbed the child and but for the interference of Sheriff Bible there would have been trouble. The poor child wailed and wept bitterly while the mother was almost prostrated. It A-as certainly a sad and touching scone and caused much excitement.
The evidence was gotten in Wednesday morning and after the arguments the case was given to the jury at noon and at haif past one it returned a vertor the plaintiff, placing his damages at $'2,500. All voted him guilty on the first ballot and some wanted to give him the full amount, gr,,000. When the verdict was announced the defendant's attorneys stated that they would stand on the verdict.. Crane Anderson appeared for the plaintiff and Johnston & Johnston and M. W. Bruner for the defendant.
A Peculiar Case.
Last Tuesday Ilanna it Aanna tiled a 10,000 damage suit against Charles Amiable, Keeper of a dive near tho Monon depot, tho plaintiff being Mrs. William Turner, a resident of the north end. The complaint alleges that last month Mrs.Turner desired to visit relatives at San Pierre, lnd., but had no way to get to tho Monon station that Charley Annabel volunteered to take her that upon reaching that station in the night tho train was found to be late that Annabel took her to a neighboring joint, drugged her and took improper liberties with her. Anr.able at once employed J. R. Courtney who went post haste to San Pierre to interview the fair plaintiff. She denied the allegation made in tho complaint and disclaimed any knowledge of the bringing ofjthe suit. Hanna A Ilanna claim that the husband employed the jirm to bring the suit for tho wife at her own request, and thus tho matter now stands.

ABSOLUTELY PURB
A DISASTROUS WREUK-
The Monon Eoad Acain to th« FrontThe Red Bridge Gives Way. About'2 p. m. on Wednesday after-.• noon a freight train, north bound, started from the depot. When within a third ol a mile of Sugar Creek bridge av trucK of a car near the middlo of tho train flew the track and scraped along the ties until the bridge was reached. Here a disastrous and cortly wreck at? once took place. Fourteen cars loaded with stone, iron and castings, were precipitated into the creek, carrying down the south pan of the biidgo. The cars" are mostly mashed into kindling wood, while their loads of Mono, etc., lie in the bottom of the stream. It is somewhat strauge that the engineor did not observe from the motion of the train tho car which had misplaced its truck but he did not, but under a full head of steam crossed over the bridge in safetywith tho engine and a Half dozen carBJ Good luck prevented any accident or damage t.o the trainmen. Passengers were carried around by Colfax on tho Vandalia and Big 1-our, and repairs to' tho bridge begun at once. The loss to the company by this wreck has been estimated at fully £'20,000. The cost to the company in accidents on the mile and a half of the road north of the: depot since the construction of the road over forty years ago, if? estimated by
601110
persons as high as ¥300.000. They have been numerous and cosily enough no doubt, as that particular piece of tho road appears to have much more than its share.
