Would Remodel It.

Should A. P. Ramsey succeed in purchasing the three atory room on the alley directly across from the city building* from an organization of Odd Fellows who own it, he would remodel it and th« two rooms a-3joining it on the north throughout by a pressed brick front and stone trimmings, similar to the Ramsey & Somerville building on Main street and would also build across the alley in the rear. The entire block looks shaggy and tumble down in appearance, and this change in a part ot it would help up tye appearance of Green street decidedly. The lodge owning this room is composod mostly of men of a past age, who probably would never improve the property, and care little for appearances, and it is to be hoped that Mr. Ramsey can succeed in making a trade for the building.

Central Medical Institute.

Dr. Tilney cf this city, with another physician, Jeffries by name, is traveling in Missouri, lecturing for the benefit of the

the lan e, blind and halt, and

also probably performing "miraculous" cures to patients calling upon themThrough some means they are represented as proprietors or connected with the "Central Medical Institute" of this place. Latters of inquiry from where they are at present located have been received here asking if they are connected with the "Contrai Medical Institute." If there is such au institute here no one knows of its location.

A Big Four Wreck.

A passenger train on the Big Four road was wrecked at a switch at Thorntown on Friday morning at 2 o'clock. The engine and tender were thrown from the track and the engineer and fireman killed, and also a tramp who was probably stealing a ride. A coupling pin which by some manner had become fastened to a switch frog, caused the accident. Whether the wreck resulted through accident or design is unknown.

They Don't Advertise.

A circus bearing the name of "Norton & Jones," through small four-page heralds, announce performances here next Friday. It is probably a small affair, as tbey have no posters announcing what they have and are too poor robably to advertise in newspapers.

Will Locate at Lafayette It is rumored that ex-Auditor John L. Gnhen has disposed of his land near Momence, 111., and will remove to Lafayette to engage in the real estate business.

STRANGE MANIFESTATIONS.

Spirits of Friends are produced By Whispers.

A number of gentlemen from this city, who within the paet few weeks have visited the noted spiritual medium, Mrs. Lottie

Herbine, north Capital

Avenue, Indianapolis, have received several exhibitions of spiritual manifestations that have puzzled them very much. The gentlemen are not tplritualiets in any sense, but merely visited the medium through a desire for investigation. They did not announce their intended visit to the medium with any publicity whatever, but in fact went to her home quietly, telling no one where they were iroing. They did not give their names nor( residence to the opedium, ae she did not desire it nor requPBt it, and at their departure she ^paa ignorant of any fore knowledge retarding them or their homes or friendsThe visits of the gentlemen from here were some weeks apart. On both occasions the manifestations were totally unexpected and startling to them, and investigate as they would are unexplain. able. Instead of writing on a slate held under a table, on both occasion? of their visit, spiritual voices or strong whispers were heard. The spirits or something of a number of persons *vbo were once well known residents of Crawfordsville, but were called hence months and years ago were manifested by whispers and by a knowledge that surprised the visitors. The whispers furnished information that could not possibly be known to the medium. A former attorney of this city, no longer in the flebh, asked numerous questions regarding persons now living here, and entirely unknown to the medium. The whispers are distinct in sound, appear to come as in waves and depart as suddenly as they appear, and corue too at times when the medium is absent fioin the room. If there is any slight of-hand, hocus-pocus in this the investigators would very much like to know by what manner it if produced. If it is not the work of departed friondB what the devil is it, and how is it done? How can the medium, they ask, if she produces these manifestations have knowledge of your relatives 'and friends, and accurate knowledge too, who have passed from earth years and years ago, or even before this medium was born? These investigators are matter-of-fact people, and would like to have some one versed in SDiritual lore explain these things succinctly, thoroughly and sincerely.

••Kid" Henderson's Sad Fate. Surday was a day of tribulations for 'Kid'' Henderson, the Montgomery county prize fighter, who has been making this'city his headquarters for some time. He appeared to be diligently searching for trouble and he soon managed to find plenty of it. He picked a juarrel with Billy Scanlon, also a prize fighter, and the two came to blows in the alley by the electric light plant. Scanlon is a much smaller man than Henderson, but he waa winning' easily when they were separated. They afterward met again by accident at Lawson's cab barn. Scanlon was sittiag on a cab and Henderson picked up a rock and told him to get down or he would knock bim off with the rock. Scanlon got down—and the blow almost killed Henderson. "Little Billy" fairly mopped the floor with Henderson until the latter begged like a whipped cur,

-ft No Financier.

As an evidence of the poor financiering qualities of the late Senator Vorhees, a son ot hs who was appointed administrator of the estate was required to give bond only in the sum of 81,000, indicating the estate to be worth about half that amount. The Senator during his Congressional career received as his salary as much as $100,000, besides was attorney in many criminal cases where the fees were often $1,000 and $2,000, yet at the time ot his death had comparatively nothing in the wiiv of estate or personal property.

$75.ooo RECEIVED

By Wabash College Last Week as a

part in the Fayerweather Will.

Last week T. H. Ristine, treasurer of Wabash college, received $76,000, being the second installment ot the amount given to the institution through the Fayerweather will. There is yet another amount ot cash, equal to the last, to come from the aame source to the college, making the total amoiiltt from the Tayweather will 8200,000. fhis is the largest gift from any individual ever received by the college. Fayerweather was a rich leather merchant Of New York City, who died about sevmi years ago. He left many thousands bf dollars to some twenty educational jilstitutionp, WabaBh being one ot thettl. No one about the college had heard or knew anything about Fayer^enthe previous to the publication of his will, and the donation to it was great but agreeable surprise.

BAD B00T5.

He Has a Serious Case on His Hands

at Present.

John Goble, of DarlingtoQ on Sunday pwore out a warrant against a young man named Newton Boots of that place, charging him with an attempt of rape upon the person ot his daughter, Pearl Goble. Young Boots had induced the girl to go out riding with him in a buggy on Saturday evening, and when some distance from the town attempted to commit the crime, but failed in his attempts by the determined efforts of the girl to prevent it. Boots was arrested on Sunday evening and taken before 'Squire Campbell, a large crowd gathering to hoar the details of the outrage. lie pleaded guilty and was placed under $1,000 bond, but on Monday morning on a re-hearing of the case withdrew the plea on advice ol' hie attorney. The bond was reduced to $500, and the tiamee of Wm. Boots and John Clouser placed upon it, and he was then released until the next session of Circuit Court in September. Public sentiment is pretty strong against young Boots, and it would seem that he hae a pretty serious case upon hie hands.

A Streak of Rust.

The Waveland Independent in speaking of the Midland railway 6ays: "Dr Moore denies that the Midland is to be sold to the Monon and sayp the road is to be extended from Anderson to Muncie. Some attention had better be given to this end of the streak of rust, or soon there will be nothing left but the right of way. Inspecting his section of track the other day, George Hennessy actually counted over 9,000 rotten and worthless ties in that one section. An employe states that the fairly sound ties will not average more than two to the rail."

A Frog.

At the railroad crossing at New Ross the Big Four company have been both ered with a defective

(rog

belonging to

Crawford's two streaks of ruet, known as the Midland railway. It was worn out and repeated solicitations to replace it with a new or more secure one, made no impression upon the Crawford concern. Its continued use endangered the passage of trains on the Big Four and finally on Monday it was removed and a watchman placed there. The next day the Midland placed anew frog in position, and trains on both roads pass as usual.

Rev. Hinshaw Hopeful.

Rev. Hinshaw, who is serving a life sentence for the alleged murder of his wife, expects soon to regain his liberty, owing to the confession of Noah Baney. In talking with an Enquirer man on Tuesday Mr. Hinshaw sa»d: "As for thiB new evidence, I don't know what to say. I am not raised by false hopes, and notwithstanding that convictB are to offer evidence in my behalf, I believe that the time will be ehort when I am a free man."

CUTTING AND SHOOTING.

Feather Renovaters Conie Together With Bloody Results.

Two brothers-in-law, Rube Potter and A1 Edwards, feather renovattrs, and residing in the south-east part of the city, fell out Monday over some business matter, and before they separated both had drawn blood from tho corpus of each other. The quarrel started, it is alleged, over a bar bill due some saloon keeper, while others said it was over a horse. Mr. Potter, who seomed quite handy with a pocket knife, made a lungs at Edwards, cuttipg bim on the left side of the back from which the blood flowed for some minutes in great plenty. Edwards had the next inning and dropped Potter with the hard side of a brick and at once pounced upon him, taking off apiece of his ear with his teeth. Both marched in solemn procession with Een Bannister in company to the jail where they had ample opportunity to meditate on matters that have been but are not. Both were taken before the Mayor and fined in sums, which it will take the^renovation of many feather beds to pay.

He Would Not Work the Roads. Alva Ward, who refused to, work the roada as ordered, and as absolutely refused to pay for some other man's labor for him, has since bad cause to regro his resolution. Constable Bers like a hawk bounced down upon Ward's property in the way ot clothing while he slept, took them away and sold them at auction on the court house corner, the lothing bringing the princely sum of 67 cents. The constablo has a wide Held of this kind to work in, levying upon property few refusal to work the roads if he desireB to cultivate,it.

Didn't Play.

The much advertised game ot base ball between the Y. M. C. A. team of this city and the Cincinnati Reds, failed to come off on Thursday as advertised. The Cincinnati teaui had engagements elsewhere which interfered with the engagement here and hence it waa declared off. The manager of the Cincinnati team sayB they will play here Sept. 21th. There was considerable disappointment among base ball cranks at the failure of tho engagement. \.v
