Hotel Teegarden, LaPohte, IND, Sept. 10,1893.—Whereas there appeared in the Battle Ground Repository of Oct. 1892, and March, 1893, statement that I had suedJohn A. Griffin, administrator of the estate of David Roudabush, for funeral services, and as the records of the court appear as if a suit had really been brought, I now make this statement: I filed a claim against said estate at the solicitation of tho friends of David Roudabush and the administrator with no thought or intent of bringing a suit, the administrator stating the claim would be allowed. I hold a written statement, affirming the above from the administrator which also states that by an oversight tho claim was not allowed, but went on the trial docket, and that he, the administrator, urged the court to allow the above claim. I nevor intended a suit and greiitly regrot having Hied the claim and the embarrassments that have grown out of tho affair. In accordance with an agreement entered into 1 make this statement to be published in the Battle Ground Repository with a statement made by Goo. B. Chamberlain, and thereby drop tho whole matter between Mr. Chamberlain and myself.

Particularly one as to the suinc for funoral services that an investigation was held at Brazil by seven ministers called by the Presiding Elder, and from the evidence offered the verdict of not guilty was unanimously found.

The Bagged Edge of Hope,
An indication of tho interest felt in tho Torre Haute collectorship and incidentally in tho question as to the present power of Voorliees' pull, is found in tho following print in to-day's Amoricq, Boss Croker's new paper in New York: "Of all tho officeseokers of really unique names, who have hovered around Washineton more or less since the 4th of March, all but Joshua Jump, of Terre Haute, have been accounted for. "Pod Dismuke has gone back to his mountain home in Tonnesseo disconsolate, if not broken hearted. Dink Botts is pursuing the even tenor of his way down in "Gawgy," and reflecting upon the ungratefulness of republics. Potsdam Stanhope Sams has thrown political ambition to the winds, and all politicians with a "pull," especially those who promised him so much and procured for him nothing. "But what has become of the Hon. JoBhua Jump? Has he been "slated" or been carried out, or is he still hanging on to tho ragged edge of hope? It is possible that, as Mr. Jump is one of Senator Voorheee' constituonts, his success depends somewhat upon whether Mr. Voorhees gets a vote on the repeal bill this year or next. It is possible but it won't do to jump at conclusions.—rWashington Correspondent to Terre Haute Express.
Pickpocket Bishop's fate.
Frank Bishop, the young shark who stole Mrs Harvey Thompson's pocket book containing fifteen cents, on circus day, was brought before Judge Harney Saturday and pleaded guilty to the charge. A. B. Anderson, his attorney, prayed to the court with te^rs in his eyes for clemency and as a result the lucky dog was let off with a thirty day's jail bentence and the usual disfranchisement.

Stolen Property Found-
Some, school children [discovered a buggy in the woods on the Brier farm last week and notfiied Marshal Beamer. He visited the place on Wednesday of last weekjand recognized tho vehicle as the one stolen from Melvin Hattou, near Wingate, on September 6th. The buggy was badly broken and gave evidence of having been in a runaway. It is believed that the thief had a runaway, with the horse stolen from Henry Palin the Eame night, tho harness still attached to the buggy showing that the animal had pulled away from tho vehicle. In the buggy were two sets of harness. This will afford a pretty good clue to tho thief, for in his trouble he doubtless applied to some farmer in that vicinity for assistance.—Attica Le Iger.

A STEANGE FIND.
The .Remains of An Unknown Babe Found In A Shoe Box Near AlamoWord reached the city Thursday morning that tho remains of an infant had had been found in a shoe box on tho farm of David Stanford near Alamo. Marshal Brothers at once repaired to the scene and found the terrible story too true. The remains were those of a foetus between six and seven months old. It had been wrapped in a WOBBD'B Bkirt and then placed in a shoe box. The box was found near the road, just over tho fence in afield and had evidently been placed there several days ago. There is no clue whatever to lead to tho arrest of the guilty parties and it is very probable the crime will go unpunished.

RATTLINQ T*MB.
fllwn Stick and a Flcke* Fence ttM Boj Is Beunc] to Hve It. "Every middle-aged man of sound memory who was brought up in town,* Baid
Mr. GraUbar, "will recall the faol that when he was a boy he found great delight in rattling a stick alonf the picket fence. "This amusement of childhood, lfka many others of that period of life, appeal* to have been transmitted from generation to generation without material change. The strings of spools and the soldier hats andso on of tha children of to-day are substantially like those of their forefathers. But it might seem to some that this succession is in danger of being broken. "In many suburban towns and^vll* lages there is now no pioket fence. The modern spirit says lawns, and so there are many places where the louses are as if in parks, and where the younger children might not know a picket fence if they should soe one. "I have two ohildrcn, for instanoe, .#ho I am quite sure have never enjoyed the felicity of rattling a hard stiok against the resounding pickets.
It might indeed seem, under sucb circumstances, that this is one of the enjoyments of childhood whioh in some families might be lost altogether that one could scarcely expect the children of those children who have never rattled pickets to think of it themselves but I oannot believe this. "I believe, rather, that if" in their youth the children of these children should come upon a town where picket fences still remained they would pick up tho handiest stick and go quite naturally and very gleefully rattling it along the pickets for I cannot believe that a habit grounded for centuries in the human race can be utterly lost by its lapse in a single generation.
LUKE'S IRON CROWN.
Terrible Mode of Punishment Used la the Middle Ages. One of the most awful modes of punishment inflicted by the law-invested barbarians of olden times was that jocularly referred to by the old inquisitors as "Luke's iron orown." I can only find record of one country— Hungary—where it became the recognized mode of killing criminals convicted of enormous crimes (and they *t was only used on regicides) bat •cveral other governments are known have used it in aggravated cases. This mode of punishment with an apostoHc name consisted of placing a crown of red-hot iron upon the head and leaving it there until the sizzling flesh and bone burned away and allowed the very braiu of the writhing wretch to be fried to crisp before life had entirely left the body. Could even a hoofed and horned, spike-tailed devil, fresh from the infernal regions, devise a more inhuman method of inflicting the death penalty?
The term "Luke's iron crown" was applied to this method of legal killing because it was first used in ridding Hungary of a rebel named Luke Dosa. Luke and his brother Qeorge headed a revolt and the former allowed himself to be crowned king by his folowers. When finally taken by the government they made the orown business "too hot for him"—an example to future would-be kings.
