The owners of carriages who drive about the city in the evening are complaining bitterly of the way in which some people sprinkle the streets with their garden liose. They state that many places on the streets are daily converted into veritable mud holes thus necessitating the washing of buggies every day. —Manager Sheetz, of the Water Works, is in receipt of a letter from a gentleman in this city, which is unique. The writer goes on to state that his neighbor persists in sprinkling the street in front of his (the writer's property. This the writer believes to be unjust to the water company and states that he will shortly appear and settle for water, rent.
Pretty Tough
The Board of Review visited Lafayette Wednesday and compared the assessment of the two counties. It will be remembered that the assessment in Clinton county ran about 25 per cent, lower than in Montgomery and in Tippecanoe is found a similar state of affairs. The personal property of Montgomery is assessed 33 per cent, higher than that of Tippecanoe and the real estate 25 per cent, higher. The land of Jackson township in Tippecanoe which adjoins Madison in Montgomery is assessed 85 lower than Madison. The comparative assessment on land is 831 in Montgomery against 826 in Tippecanoe. According to this then the assessment in
Montgomery is over 81,612,000 higher than it ought to be and we will pay over 85,500 more State tax than Tipjjecanoe is paying on the same amount of property.

An Honorable xirm Wronged. Money letters are still pouring in to the Art Supply Company of Crawfordsville, to purchase counterfeit money,notwithstanding the manager, Evans, has been convicted and is in prison. The letters are sent bv the Crawlordsville postmaster to Major Carter, of the secret service, who is looking up the would be counterfeiters. Five such letters were sent to the detective Saturday.—Lafayette Courier.
Similar reports have been printed in various jinpers over the State, but as far as the Crawfordsville postoffico and the Art Supply Company are concerned there is no truth in them. Postmaster Bonnell said no such letters were received here and the Art Supply Association, run by the Davis Brothers, formerly of this city, but now of Indianapolis,' is well known as a reliable and honorable concern.
Has Not Applied.
Prof. Stanley Coulter cards the Lafayette Courier to the effect that he is not a candidate for the chair of Biology in Wabash College, that is that ho has not applied for the position. This is probably very true but doubtless the professor would take the position if tendered him, as many of his friends hope it will. The card is as follows:
In an article headed "Dr. Tuttle's Successor," in last evening's issue, it is stated that I am a candidate for the chair of Biology in Wabash College. If I understand the meaning of the word candidate the statement is without foundation in fact. If any application has been made on my behalf to the authorities of Wabash College it has been done without my knowledge or authority.

A Cue for Orawfordsville Congregations. The remarks of Rev. Dr. Wm. P. Kane from the pulpit on last Sunday acknowledging the generosity of his congregation in sending him to Europe to enjoy his vacation, were touching and beautiful. The Doctor has achieved a great work here, and richly deserves this recogniton of his services. The congregation gave him a two month's leave of absence on full, pay and besides raised a purse sufficient to defray all the expenses of the trip. He expects to leave for New York on Thursday, and will sail,as heretofore announced, 011 Saturday noxt.—

Refuses to Pay.
The city officials are in reccipt of a letter from B. A. May, president of the Knickerbocker Trust Co., in which it is stated that his company is the official successor to the defunct American Loan & Trust Co., and requesting the city to pay over to the Knickerbocker as such the sum of 85,100 due for water and light rent. No affidavits accompanied the letter and the city refusefc to pay over until the Knickerbocker furnishes an indemnifying bond. ,v
Married.
On July 1, at the home prepared by the groom on east Main street, Clayton Snyder and Miss Daisy Britton were united in marriage. A number of invit ed guests were present and the occasion was a most felicitous one. Both of the young people are justly popular in Crawfordsville and receive the congratulations of a host of friends. A feature of the evening was the visit of Company I., with which the groom is connected, which fired a salute in honor of the event. L-i-fs

A GALLANT BEAU,
John Mclntyre Swallows Machine Oil While Engaged in Conversation. .Tolin Mclntyre lias charge of YVm. Yfinarsdal's fiirni just north of the city. Mr. Mclntyre is about 35 years of ago and although a married man is most popular among the ladies who delight to surround him and get him to talking. Tuesday he was working with the hands in the harvest fields and several
coming out under the trees where the tools and jugs were felting engaged
him in conversation. Mr. Mclntyre became most absorbed in the talk and till was going merry as a marriage bell. He had been working hard and after talking for a few moments became aware of the fact that he was quite thirsty. Still talking he took up what bethought wis the water jug and putting it up to his lips took a good long swig at the same time paying attention to what was being said. He had swallowed nearly a pint when he realized that what he was drinking was not water. He immediately withdrew the jug from his mouth and discovered that he had been drinking from the jug of machine oil which sat on the ground by the water jug. In a few minutes lie became deathly sick and was taken to the house where he was soon suffering untold agony. He was relieved somewhat by frequent spells vomiting but all night long he was worked with by the family and friends, it appearing at times that he would surely die. N xl: morning he was considerably better and will be all right in a short time, but considers that he had a very close call. The oil he drank was made' up of coal oil and like ingredients of a much more harmful nature than the lard oil which is used by many
Married in the Spring Time of Life. Alison Dodd, aged 19 years, accompanied by Miss Mary Quinlan, aged 1G years, departed on Wednesday for Danville, 111., where they went in quest of a marriage license. It was not an elopement, but on the part of the groom it was jolly near it. His family were strenuously opposed to his taking the grave step, for while he is 19 years old he does not look to be over 10. Nevertheless, they decided to interpose no material opposition, as Alison is a boy of his own mind. They opposed his joining the Salvation Army at one time, but join it he did, and stayed with it too 'until the war drum throbbed no longerand the battle Hag was furled. The bride's parents considered it all O. K., however, and her father, Thomas Quinlan, built an addition to his house and purchased a piano in anticipation of the momentous event. The happy couple will soon return home after the consummation of the nuptials and go to housekeeping with th^ bride's parents on W. Indiana ave. Both bride and groom are as good as they are young and it is safe to say that they will ever remain as devoted to each other as on the auspicious morning when they left for the maiden State of Illinois where marriage laws ai lax and preachers are plenty.
West Indiana Avenue was in a blaze of glory that night and the home of Thomas Quinlan was the scene of a brilliant social event. Allison Dodd and his blushing sixteen-year-old bride arrived home from Danville, 111., in the afternoon and were at home to about thirty invited guests in the evening. The mansion was beautifully decorated and the soft strain of enticing music floated out on the idle summer evening, inspiring all who heard it with the belief that love is beautiful and good. It was indeed a holy sight to view the young couple, who in the very spring time of life and bud of promise had sworn to love, honor and cherish each other till death did them part. The bride and groom, glowing with modesty,
beauty and grace, handsomely
tained their parts and the entertain passed off with true metre and rhythm of the inspired epithalanium of the sweet Roman catulus. The symposium of which the guests took part was elaborate and inviting and all present expressed themselves as more than entertained. The only disagreeable feature of the evening was a loud charivari tendered the happy couple by about seventy-five of his boyish friends who in the buoyancy of youthful spirit and exuberance of mirth appeared on the scene burdened with fish horns and similar accompaniments. They proceeded to pour forth their souls in melody until invited into the house to eat, which they did and to such an alarming extent that there were not enough viands left when they departed to make a good breakfast.
Fred is Annoyed.
The Lafayette Journal man was behind the bars of the northern pen the other day and seen his old friend Pettit has the following in regard to him: "There hits been a great amount of senseless stuff published about W. F. Pettit since his incarceration in the penitentiary. One man has seen him wielding a razor. Another asserts that he is much annoyed by the stares of the visitors to the prison. None of these statements are true. Mr. Pettit would naturally feel averse to being stared at by everyone passing through the prison, but he is not subject to such annoyances.
Warden French has considerately assigned him to work in a room that is rather obscure and is not on the route taken by those who pass through the prison, and not one visitor in 1,000 catches even a glimpse of him.
He can do double the amount of work assigned him and earns some money by doing so. The value of his extra time last month was 810.80. He speaks in cordial tones of his treatment and has a kind word for all. He is confident he will receive a new trial. In reference to the proposition of some of the jurors who passed sentence on him to hold a reunion, he said he thought some of them had too much sense to do so while
Borne
of them might."

THE NEW TK.EASTJREK OF "WABASH.
He Piles His Bond and Takes His Office— The Retiring Treasurer. Thursday Alexander Thomson retired from the oilice of Treasurer of Wabash College and turned the affairs over to his successor, T. H. llistine, who has duly filed his bond of 850,000. Mr. Ristine will have his office in the room so long occupied by his successor, and will devote his entire time to the work, retiring from active participation in the business of the law firm of Ristine it Ristine. Just here it would not be inappropriate to quote a portion of President Tuttle's report to the Trustees. It says:
The resignation of Mr T'tomson as Treasurer ought not to !v.e place without special notice. He was elected to the oilice in June, 1864, and has occupied it until this time, a period of twenty-seven years. The meeting of the Board.June, 180-1, was marked by the fact that the college was reported out of debt. It was so cheering a fact that its mention at the close of the commencement exercises was received with lively satisfaction.
Nor was it in illusion. It was a great fact. But the currency was then in a low condition as to value. The dollar that year had sunk to about forty cents of purchasing power. The country was still involved in war which task™! its power to the utmost. Without accurate data I suppose the college was nominally worth one hundred thousand dollars. It is now really worth seven or eight times as much as that.
The college since that time has made extensive repairs of the South Hall and the Normal building. It has added to Center Hall two wings, built and equipped the HoveyMuseum,PeckScientilic Hall, Yandes Library Hall, the a a a a
p!ir itus for he^ting aH the
1
buildings. I
need not say the money for these pur-
these
poses has amounted to a large sum. In addition to this the scientific apparatus in the several departments and the library,increasing from six or eight thousand volumes to over thirty thousand, altogether have cost a large sum of money. In addition to this must bo named the current expenses of the institution constantly accruing for salaries, labor, fuel, repairs, taxes and other necessaries. The aggregate for these must reach many thousands of dollars. I suppose the books would show the sums expended in fixed properties and current expenses. It must be a large amount and all of it has passed through Mr. Thomson's hands. During these twenty-seven years no employe of the college has needed to wait for his money when due.
During these years the Treasurer has seldom been away from his post—the longest being two periods of serious illness. He htis been a marvel of punctual and scrupulous attention to his business. And it is needless to say these services have been invaluable to the college.
Mr. Thomson is the fourth treasurer of Wabash College. John Giliiland's term of office was from June, 1832, to 1834, Robert C. Gregory's term from 1834 to 1838, Edward O. Hovey's term from 1838 to 1864, and Alexander Thomson's term from 1864 to 1891. The first term was two years, the second four years, the third twenty-six years and the fourth twenty-seven years. The united period of Hovey and Thomson include 53 years. The college has beon singularly fortunate in her financial officers, not only in the long period of the two last, but in the further fact that the treasury has never lost a dollar during the fifty-nine years through dishonesty.
It is worth while to mention the fact that the terms of office of the second and third Presidents of the college lack only two years of equaling the united terms of the two Treasurers, Hovey and Thomson. ......
