BEAUTIFUL, BUT BRAZEN.

A Former Orawfordsville Woman FigureB in Disreputable Work. Much excitement prevailed at Lebanon this week when information was received that Albert L. Lane, the prominent druggist who has been missing from that city since July 21, had been located at Green Bay, Wis. When Lane departed from Lebanon on the above date it was thought he had gone to Cincinnati to dispose of his drug and bookstore. June 24 Layton Herod, his chief clerk, received a letter from him in which ho was purported to have said that everything was all right, and that he would be home the following day. That was the last heard from him until he was discovered in Green Bay last Thursday, where he had just opened a novelty store and was doing a flourishing business. It has been learned that Lane went to Indianapolis on the evening of his disappearance and there met Mrs. Jennie McGrigg, the pretty young wife of George McGrigg, a well-known young mar. of Crawfordsville. They went to Green Bay and into business, as above stated. He did not attempt to change his name, and the McGrigg woman was known as Mrs. Lane. Last week notice of his disappearance was made in all the metropolitan papers throughout the country, together with a short description of his general appearance. This notice was observed by the Chief of Police of Green BBy, who at once recognized the proprietor of the new notion Btore as the man wanted, and notified the deBerted wife, who, together with Detective Jordon, of Indianapolis, left for Green Bay Friday night. They met Lane who had a consultation with his wife. What passed between them is unknown, but the, store was closed and Lane announced his intention to return home with his wife, saying everything had been satisfactorily arranged, Mrs. McGrigg iB a handsome little blonde, about 22 years of age, and nas a reputation as an adventuress, having caused a decided sensation by her relations with a prominent young business man of Lebanon laBt January.

Lane's diamonds created an impression at Green Bay. There is gnashing of teeth by Green Bay pebple now for being imposed, upon. Lane, began the bazaar business Saturday lastr:. Creditors, headed by Daniel Stewart, of Indianapolis, have attached all the prop*: erty. Lane's liabilities are 810,000. Lane had bought threo diamond rings for the wife pro tem, and offered them to hiB true wife. The outraged woman grew indignant and threw the ringB, worth 8800 from the hotel window into the street. Gamins have been searching all day, and one was found. Lane haB been taken back to Lebanon, and the McGrigg woman has returned to Indianapolis.

McGrigg, the husband of the woman named, iB manager of a restaurant on Green street in this city. He and the woman parted near two yeare ago, and have paid no attention to each other since. A brother of Mrs. McGrigg liveB in this city.

An Electrical Scheme. Mr. N. J. Clodfelter of this city is seeking to work a scheme for an electric railway through a portion of the gas belt, in the intrest of some capitalists. The Anderson Democrat Bays:

Mr. Clodfelter, representing a syndicate of Indianapolis and Chicago capitalists,

iB

in the city this after­

noon. This syndicate is proposing to build an electric railroad from Indianapolis to NobleBville, thence to Anderson and Alexandria, and to Marion through Jonesboro.

Mr. Clodfelter's object here to-day is to obtain from the county commissioners their permission to lay its track along the highway from this city north to the north line of the county. The commissioners are hearing Mr. Clodfelter's proposition this afternoon.

A roporter approached the electric promotor this afternoon, but was unable to elicit any information concerning the contemplated scheme, It is substantially the same as the scheme proposed two years ago by RubboI Harrison, John Wannamaker and others.

A Prospective "."llllllounlre." Thursday a rough uncombed looking individual ofFountain co., viBited several places around town having in a Back a peck or more of dark and drab colored stones, which he was demonstrating to his satisfaction at least contained valuable silver deposits. He claimed to have twelve acres of land covered with this "ore," and wanted a man with 82,000 to help him work it to whom ho would generouslly givo|one-fourth of the' proceeds from the silver taken out. The silver was perhapB a myth, und the stuff he termed silver were small pieceB of mica. Ho failed to create any enthusiasm or rush of people to his "mine" and left town in disgust.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

What Might Have Proven to be Another Terrible Railroad Disaster Prevened Only by Luck.

By a matter of mere luck we are prevented from recording another horrible railroad accident and sighs of joy and thanksgiving are ascending from those whom Providence spared fro untimely grave. Wednesday night as the southbound Mononpassenger train, duo here at 1:50 was rounding the curve immediately this side of the pressed brick workB the flange on one of the front wheels of the engine broke tearing away nearly one-half of the wheel. The train was under such headway that it waB impossible for the engineer to stop it until the trestle over Sugar creek had been crossed and here it was that pure luck spared our "ommunity of a most horrible wreck. The train ran fully one-half a mile after the accident,bumping and scratching the ties on the trestle work and breaking several in two The safety chain which is fastened from the beam to the axle is said to be the only thing that held the engine on tho track and that the chain did not break is certainly a miracle. The train was well loaded with human freight but none were aware of their awful predicament until the train was brought to a standstill. Between where the fatal passenger wreck happened three years ago and this trestle is famous for its numerous mishaps. Both the night trains were delayed until an early hour Thursday morning. The north bound stopping at Whitesvile. Anew engine was run down and ^the old one taken back to Lafayette. It is with heartfelt pleasure that we note no one injured.

Taken illorphlno, A few days ago all Lebanon was aroused by the news that Hans Wesner had been 'killed by his father-in-law.o Scarcely had the excitement subsided when another fatality must be recorded. At 5 o'clock Tuesday afternoon it waB discovered that Jet Davis had taken morphine in sufficient quantity to prove fatal. Dr. A. P. Fitch was summoned and for four hours has applied every remedy known to tho profession in an endeavor to save the life of the unfortunate man. It is not possible for him to recover in tho opinion of the physician.

Jet Davis was well known at LebaBnon, though his home is near New Ross. He was a barber by trade, but has been dissipated of late and has not been at work, depending largely upon the generosity of biB friends. His brother, Jesse T. Davis of Lebanon, is a well known and respected citizen. The cause of the suicide iB not known, but it is generally supposed that he had become despondent because of his unfortunate life an the gloomy prospects for the future. He was unmarried and about thirty-six years of age.
