Kalamazoo (Mich.) Gazette: Louis I'aquet. the German who was arrested at Crawfordsville, Ind., on the charge of defrauding the Home Savings Bank in this city by uttering a forged draft, has been quite an enigma siuce his incarceration here. He seems to be worrying like a man unused to a jail cell and several efforts have been made to get him to talk about his past life. Each time he lias been silent except that he denies the charge preferred against him and declares that he is not a criminal. Through correspondence some events in his life have been ascertained. He was ahard working boy on a farm until he grew to manhood. Money with him was very scarce and his quiet disposition led him to become very saving even to the extreme. When a young man he took a course in a Wisconsin college, where through his good conduct he was appointed prefect in the study hall and was allowed his board and tuition for two yearn without the payment of a cent. His first position at the close of his college life was as school teacher in a little country school which he taught four years. Then he became acquainted with the daughter of a wealthy and respected German farmer and asked her father for her hand. They were married and now have two attractive little daughters.

By industry and economy he amassed about §13,000. He was regarded as almost ridiculously honest and even the smallest debt or obligation gave him great trouble. An old college chum told him of the advantages open for a young man in Chicago. The chances for advancement in the country school were slim and he went to Chicago. He purchased a cozy home there and embarked in business. He failed to find the opportunity to make a fortune. They did not like life in the city and rented their home and bought a farm south of Chicago. At the end of a year their home burned down with all the contents while they were away. The farm was sold at a loss and they returned to the city and he embarked in business which did not pay and finally swamped them and he lost their Chicago home to meet their debts. To-day he is without a dollar of his own and his only home for himself is a cell in the jail. His family are cared for by friends. He declares that he will go out of the jail with flying colors.

It is thought by many that Paquet's losses unbalanced him and he resorted to bank working in a sort of frenzy. His whole life until within the past few months was one of perfect rectitude and hundreds attest to his upright character. Paquet's father-in-law several years ago entrusted him with S3,000 in cash to be given to the sister of Paquet's wife ou her marriage. This sum Paquet turned over intact on her wedding day last August after he had lost all he had.

A Surprise Party.

One of the most pleasant events of the season occurred Friday nightat the residence of Isaac Davis, on north Grant avenue,in the form of a surprise party on his little daughter, Carrie. About twenty-five of the younger class took possession of her home completely to her surprise. However, the little girl together with her older sister soon proved themselves equal to the occasion and all present seemed to enjoy themselves most excellently. Dainty refreshments were served and with the dancing and games everything passed off most pleasantly.

The Niitt House to lie Ko-Opened. J. B. Frucliy, of Cincinnati, leased the Nutt House for one year with the privilege of four. He will reopen the hostelry about March 1. with new furnishings throughout. Mr. Frucliy is a hotel man of considerable experience, having had hotels at Troy. Ohio, and Winchester, this State. Thk JorJiXAi, wishes him all success in his venture.

has

Farm ltcsideiic- liurned.

The residence of George Conrad, two miles west of Darlington, burned to the ground, together with the entire contents at an early hour last Friday. The family were, attending an entertainment at the school house and the loss was complete. The loss is about $1,000 with 8200 insurance on the house and §50 on the contents.

A I.ively Man.

W. M. Reeves has moved four times during the past year and is again looking about for another house. It is not because he does not pay his house rent, as he owns property, but from the fact that he has not found a house to suit his ideas. He is buying and selling all the time.

RICH DISCOVERY OF GOLD.

Crawfordsville People in l.urk—The Find An Important One.

Thk .JoriiNAi, is in receipt of the Leadville Jlerntii-Demncrat, which has a column write-up of a remarkable discovery of gold by the Indiana Mining Company in a new shaft just put down on the property which the company lias been operating on a three yenr lease. This rich strike is of peculiar interest for the reason that this is the company in which J. li. Bryant, E. 1). Bosworth and Newman Essiek own a three-eighths interest of the lease, Mr. Bryant's interest being onefourth and the other two being onesixteenth each. The company is now taking out fifty tons of ore daily, which assays about 873 per ton of gold, silver and lead, at the present prices of the two latter minerals. Preparations are being made to dump 150 tons daily. Even with only fifty tons as the output it means §3.050 a day. The HerahlDemucrot says the ore gets richer as the deeper the miners go. This paper regards the discovery as important, as it is the first discovery of gold in the section contiguous to the city. The property is owned by Anson Wolcott, of White county, from whom it is leased. Thk .Ioik.nai, congratulateF the Crawfordsville owners and hopes that some of that rich find will prove of. advantage to the city in which they have an abiding interest.

Good News For r. Durham. Mr. Edwards, the assignee of Frank Nelson, and his attorney, .lames M. Smiley.were in the city Saturday looking after the affairs of the trust. They report that the compromise that has been made with Mrs. Nelson will enable the assignee to realize about S7G,000 for the laud', and that they hope to raise enough to pay Mr. Nelson's h-ilf of the indebtedness. If such should be the case Mr. Durham's property will pay the other half and leave a surplus, he having already paid about 870,000 of the indebtedness. Mr. Durham's friends will be glad to hear this good news, as he will then haive a handsome sum for the remainder of his days.

Brookshixe Plachi.

A special from Washington, says: Representative Brookshire expressed much satisfaction over the selection of Thomas J. Mannas a member of the Democratic State eommitee from the Eighth district. "Mr. Mann," he said, "is 'a gentleman of integrity, high character and ability. He will fill the position with great satisfaction to the party. I place no reliance in these reports that his selection has any significance as between any two possible candidates for nomination. He is too big to wear any man's collar, and if he were prejudiced in any one's favor, he could not, in his position, legitimately influence the result of a nominating convention.''

Obstructing the Streets Wttl» Vehicles. In the case of Joseph A. Linn vs. the town of Ladoga, the appellate court decided Friday that a lot owner in a town or city has no right to make a wagon yard of the street in front of his lot, and that if the town permits wagons and other vehicles to remain in the street the city will be liable for all damages resulting therefrom. The city of Crawfordsville would £do well to give attention to this VJdecision. There are some streets in this town that are strewn with vehicles of various kinds that are not only an eyesore but a positive nuisance. When a $10, 000 damage suit is lodged against the city some time the City Council may wake up.

The Western Indiana Fair Cireult. The representatives of the Western Indiana Fair Circuit met in the small court room on Saturday to consider business of importance. The fair as sociations represented were those of llainbridge. New Ross. Sheridan. Lela non, Frankfort Lafayette. Covington and Crawfordsville. It was foun that several dates for fairs conf1ictc so it was decided to adjourn until Feb ruary 10. in the meantime the severa associations will meet and determine upon the best plan of adjusting the existing difficulties.

Applicants for primary teachers' license will be examined by the county superintendent on the last Saturdays in March, April and May. Applicants for State and professional licenses will lie examined on the last Saturdays in February. March and April. The literary work of the year wile be "Burk's Orations."

Tlie Jim Bridge Completed. The Jim bridge is now complete and is crossed by the traveling public. No possible complaint can be made of the work. It cost the county just §10,303.85 exclusive of the approaches.

OIK RAILROADS.

Number in Montgomery County News of Interest 4'once mini 'I'llcm.

The lirst railroad through this city was the "Crawfordsville tt Wabash Railroad," extending from here U» Lafayette. Ma jor I. C. Elston, sr., was president, and Alex Thomson, secretary. This county gave $100,000 stock, ssuing bonds which were never paid. The road was commenced in 850 ajul completed in 1853. In 1855 it became u, part of the present Monon system.

In 1855 a railroad was surveyed from Indianapolis through here, to Danville, Ills., but a financial panic killed! the project. In ISG-t the construction of a oad was commenced and this soon was abandoned. The niattey -was taken up again in 18C, and the next year the county commissioners donated 9125,000. The first spike was driven near the .Junction on Nov. Hi, 18(58. and the first train of cars to lndiama.polis passed over the road on May 4, 18(ti. \fterwards by a consolidation with other roads the present Big Four Peoria branch was put in operation.

The present Vandalia branch through this city was formed by the consolidation of three partia..llvcompleted roads. A donation of: SI000 was also given to this road.

There are also two other railroads in Montgomery county—the Midland and the L., St. I& R. C. 11. R.

NOTKf

The Midland will be extended to Muncio by .July 1. L. A. Chirk, Monon agent, has been visiting at Bloomington.

The Vandalia has become a part of the Pennsylvania system. The Big Four owns 18,000 freight cars 3,000 have air brakes and 8,000 Automatic couplers.

The general superintendent's ofliee of the Vandalia lines is to be moved from St. Louis to Terre Haute.

The Big Four earnings in December show a decease of nearly $200,000, compared with the same month last year.

The L. N. A. it C. earned in the sixmonths ending December 31, the first half of its fiscal year, $1,839,089, an increase over the corresponding six months of 1892 of $05,348.

The Midland Railroad has had more ups and downs, literally and actually than any other railroad in Indiana. Even the strike of one set of section hands is enough to stop the running of trains for a month.

Milkshake's Sister.

Last Thursday in her fashionable quartes over Truitt's grocery Mrs. Piatt handsomely entertained a brilliant assemblage of her colored friends. She children becoming noisy Mrs.Piatt very indulgently and considerately gave them a large revolver to play with in order to quiet them. The revolver was a large 32-calibre affair employed by Mrs. Piatt in shooting trou blesome cats and men who are wont to come prowling around at all hours of the night. The children were overjoyed and at once proceeded to play rabbit. Miss Milkshake and lie.r little sister were the rabbits and commenced to jump up from behind chairs and squeal like pigs while the little girl who impersonated the huntsman bold would point the revolver and say "Bang!" Whereupon the one aimed at would fall over and after grunting awhile would play dead. This was all very fine but soon became monotonous. To vary this tediousness the juvenile she-nimrod cocked the revolver on the sly and when Milkshake's sister started to jump from chair like a white rabbit the trigger was pulled and down came the game like, a ripe paw paw in a cyclone. The girl was shot in the arm and the soire was broken up in the ex citcment. A physician was called am the alleged rabbit is doing tolerably well under the circumstanees.

Will NHtlu in Bloomington.

Stan Wilhite and Ora Nicely have purchased a photograph gallery in Bloomington and Mr. Nicely has gone down to take charge. The gentlemen have line prospects, as Bloomington has long needed a couple of first-class artists like Messrs. Nicely and Wilhite. They will "take" everybody from the university president to belles and beaux of Bean Blossom.
