A STKANGE CASE-

Electricity Asiarted to Have Been the Clause of the Mental Derangement of Augusta Swisher.

In last week's JOUKNAL appeared the mere announcement of the session of the commission of lunacy which deolared Miss Augusta Swisher of unsound mind. The facts in the case are most remarkable and something for the medical profession to cogitate upon. Miss Swisher's insanity was caused by electricity. She was of a most ambitious turn of mind and some time ago entered the telegraph ollioe at Kirkpatrick with the intention of becoming an operator. About six weeks ago she began to be extremely nervous and Dr. Hillis had Lit leave the telegraph office at once, stating that the electricity wns destroying her nervous system. It was too late, however, as euough of the imperceptible fluid had been absorbed to completely wreok her mind aud yesterday she was a ravmst maniac. The electricity was the sole cause of her misfortune, and ts this is the case she will probably be ultimately cured at the asylum. Her delusions are most peculiar and she fancies herself to be the cause of her step-mother, who died recently, losing her soul. She constantly cries out that had she staid at home to pray with her step-mother she would have been saved. The case is a very sad one as the young lady was naturally of a very bright mind and a most amiable disposition.

Claims There Was Fraud.

John C. Shepherd has brought suit through Coppage & White against John L. Goben. Mr. Shepherd, it will be remembered, traded his home place on south Grant avenue to Goben for a farm in Illinois. Shepherd asserts in his complaint that Goben represented to him that the land in Illinois was rich and well improved, whereas it is too sterile to raise sand burrs or thistlos. In consideration of the gross misrepresentation Mr. Shepherd asks that the oon tract be rescinded and that he receive $5,000 dan.pges. Crane Anderson are retained by Goben.

Forfeited.

Taylor Hubbard, indicted for robbing J. K. P. Thompson's second hand store failed to appear before tha court this week. Accordingly Judge Snyder declared his bond forfeited. His bondsman was James Wright and the amount forfeited was $200. No one expected Hubbard to appear and the man least troubled seems to be 'Squire Wright who pays ths $200. He was very likely fully identified for the loss before the frisky Taylor was ever allowed to kick outside the bars.

Coleman's Clay.

Coleman's clay is not only good for manufacturing tile but it makes a moat exoellent paint as has been tested by T. H. Winton, who has had large experience as a painter. He gives it as his opinion that no better mineral paint is on the market than oan be made from this clay. The company that is being organized to work this olay expect to manufacture paints on an extensive scale.

A Safe Guard—Always on Duty. Thousands mage a practice of taking Dr. Kennedy's Favorite liomedy, of Boundout, Now York, whenever they have symptoms of possible sickness, and through the prompt action of this remarkable medicine they are never ill. It is a perfect safeguard against all forms of malaria, sicfc and norvoua headache, 1 palpitation, dyspepsia ana heartburn.

HORSE FLES£-

Or Rather the Horse Minus the Fks_ as Seen Upon the Court House Corner. Day in and day out, about as likely lookiug specimens as their ranstern, the dr.iv horses stand upon the court house comer—covered with ring-bones and spavins, hide-bound, long and woolly haired, sometimes lame and knockedkneed, often string-hulWed, blind in one eye and blind in both, sway-backed and tailless, dressed in a thousand aud one equiuc ways. It dots oeem that if these creatures should exert the traditional "horse sense" the would lie down and die on the spot. Bat blaok horses, bay horses, white horHos, grey horses, there they stand, shivering or sweating in accordance with the prevailing style of the season, aud the only question is, "Where in the uime ol Tom Walker did they all me from?" It is a question which one of their owners could not answer us one of these creatures frequently changes minds six times a day aud is rarely in one man's hands over a week. Couliden tially most of the stock is not registered and the pedigree of some of the unri-als is of somewhat doubtful origiu. H-JUOB the price paid for them is not fabulous and some of our wealthy citizens might purchase several without exhausting their capital. John Davis, now engaged in hauling coal for Collins' coal yard, gave some facts concerning the dr iy horses to THE JOURNAL yesterday which are interesting. Mr. Davis ep inks from a long experience ou the corner and from a close and friendly acquaintance with most of the horses and their masters so far as that goes. In answer to a few straight questions the following was elicited "Yes, there's some pretcy good horses on the corner and some pretty bad ones, too. Some of them are worth pretty nigh $20 I expect, and I oan get lots of them for $1. I have owned several worth from $1.50 to $3 bat have quit the business now. Tiie last one I bought I had to buy. You see, Harry Toney owed me 50 cents and he gave me one of his horses for 35 cents of it and 1 had to take that made a great trade though, uinl swapped him and six feet of pretty good rope to Dave Ferguson. The oily bad thin? about the trade was that Dave wouldn't pay me tho dollar. When I boned him for it ho was dragging the plug to water and yelled out:

"Here's your darned old brute, ome and get him. He's too stuck up to eat sawdust."

That-bluffed me so 1 skinned out and Dave hai got the onory old thing yet I reckon. Frank Skaggs has got a couple of $3 horses that cuu't be beat aud Marion Watts had a couple of as fiue dollar flyers as there are in the

bein

able to go fast euough to got out of the fire when his stable burnel down." Why don't they use butter limbos?

W el!, McGrigg and Sliuler ami Elmer Toney aud those «ho get jobs have got good horses but the most of them don't get over 75 cents a day :uil svjuit: of them don't average 25 cents, the transfer line swallows up all the big jobs of hauliug and McGrigg and tho fellows with good teams do all the moving so there is only a little jab once in a while which turns up for tlu- big gang to scrap over. They don't make enough to feed themselves let alone their horses. A good many are too lazy to do uuything but loaf around on thecornor with some old heap of bones of a horse anil a good many others don't know how to do anything else.

Wnat do they feed the horses? That's one of the mysteries but wind and clubs are umocg other luxuries. Most of the horseB are too weak to bite oorn even if they had it, so Boraps of hay and straw picked up around here and there oome in. 1 know one fellow who feeds his horse on slop and it keeps him pretty fat too, only it gives him the heaves when he swallows a pieoe of salt meat or a bone by mist ike. You see he's blind and can't see to dodge the meat and bones in the pail and when he gets them in his mouth once they've got to go down as he's too olu to spit them out. In summer time the green, grass is good feed but too much of it will salivate them just like the brown paper which some of the boys feed in winter does. No, they ain't stout enough to haul big loads and some of them couldn't hardly stand up if the shaftB didn't prop them. Hen Rankin had a good puller last summer that was really dead on '.ts feet. Hen nailed a sharp stick on the end of the shaft and stuck a cabbage on it about three feet in front of the horse. The horse couldn't see very well and was just des-

perate enough to trot along after that cabbage for hours expecting to catch up with it. I feel powerful sorry for Ed Watkins, who lives the other side of the fill.

His horse is too weak to climb the hil in wet weather or winter so he has to stay at home then and loses a good deal of time. I don't know where all those old plugs come from but some have been given away, some turned out to die and been picked up, and I reckon the most of them have been sick willi something or other and been traded around until they stuck fast on the court house corner which is the next stage above the valley "stink factory."

A CONTRACT.

Tke Laud and Improvement Company Will Make a Contract With the American Wheel Company.

The mooting of the Crawfordsville Land and Improvement Co. Monday evening was a most enthusiastic one. The by-laws of the association were read and adopted and several more shares of stock were taktn. The amount subscribed now amounts to about $6,000. Next morning the directors met at tLe office of John M. Schultz and elected officers aa follows: C. M. Crawford, President Louis Bischof, Vice Harvey Tinsley, T-easurer and B. R. Russell, Secretary. The executive committee is J. J. Insley, Chairman, C. M. Crawford and John M. Schultz. The Secretary has written to the American Wheel Company to come on and make a settlement of the Hub and Spoke factory business. A contract will be made which shall be binding on both parties so that there oan be no slipping through a knot hole on either side. The business is on the move and will be settled definitely now in a very short time.

Wreck at Cherry Grove-

Moud about 7:39 o'clock p.m. as a heavy freight train loaded with ulack coal was passing Cherry Grove a brake beam broke and caught the switch. Eleven cars were derailed and smashed iuto smithereens, a wrecking train at ouce came down from Lafayette and by 12 p. m. the track which had been bttdly damaged was repaired, and the passenger trains passed on time. The fragments were picked up this morning and takeu to the company's shops. Fortunately there was no loss of life and as the cars destroyed were loaded with siauk coal the loss was minimum.

Not Guilty.

The assualt and battery case against Simeon Bryant occupied all day Monly in the circuit court. After the evidence and speeches were made by W. R. Wood, of Lafayette, and Prosecutor Myffet for the State and F. M. Goldsbsrry, of Colfax, and Hon. M. D. White for the defense. The jury then retired and after a few minutes returned a verdict of not guilty. Bryant was convicted of assault on Wm. Horney in Squiro Ramsey's court last August and appealed the case to the circuit court. If he had been convicted yesterday the costs would have amounted to several hundred dollars.
