HIS GAME-

A lirnxil Doctor Diagnoses Tho Case of "Doc" J'atten, of Terie Htuite.

The Brazil Miner, speaking of the case of Dr. Patten, who charges that his wife, who has beeu »t her home here for three months, is killing him by slow poison, sayt: "Dr. It. S.

CRAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA, FRIDAY, MAY 5, 1895J—TWELVE PAGES.

of thi6 city, who

was called to the bedside of Dr. Patten by the patient himself, returned here yesterday evening and in a conversation with a Miner reporter expressed himself in accord wiih the utterances aud agreed with the diagnosis of Dr. Stunkard, of Terre Haute Dr. Moss said that an examination of Dr. Patten showed some symptoms that might have been caused by arsenical poisoning, but showed no symptoms that could not be and very often are the results of other causes that he ascribes the sickness of Dr. Patten to gastritis, heart enlargement and mental worry, and taking into consideration the length of time that has elapsed since Mrs. Patten has ceased to live with the patient, he pronounces it impossible that Patten could be the victim of poison administered by his wife. Dr. Moss is familiar with the history of the case and unhesitatingly declares that he believes Patten to be a monomaniac on the subject of poisoning. Dr. Patten, according to the history as related by Dr. Moss, had centered his whole energy upon the one object of winning a wealthy woman for a wife, and had let his imagination dwell on the costly mansion in which he would then be able to dwell, the blooded horses and liveried coachmen that would equip his carriages, and the Belmont dinners in which he would indulge. The wealthy wife was won, and the happiness of the doctor seemed assured beyond the possibility of a doubt. But he began to wander back from dreamland when, after examining several fine residences in Terre Haute, none could be found to suit the whims of the wife. Then the doctor proposed to the wife that a lot be purchased and a residence be erected in accordance with their wishes, but Mrs. Patten showed a disinclination to spend her money in that way. Aud then the doctor, in his ruminating, guessed that the trouble was that his wife did

DOt lully trust

him. This must be remedied, and to this end the doctor invited Mrs. Patten to come to his offica and remain near him during the tedious hours of his labor there: to consult with him on any matter of business that might come up and even to make herself at home in the matter of collections, etc the doctor'6 idea evidently being to show that he placed implicit codfidence and abiding faith in hia better half, expecting that such a course would result in the wife placing the same confidence and faith in her loving husband. The invitations extended the wife were accepted, and again the hopes of the doctor ran high, but he must again awake from dreamland. His wife persistently refused when again requested to invest her money accordance with the doctor's wishes, and then came the jir, the separation, and, after some time, ness."

The Goat In Trouble.

The Hillsboro Times referring to the work done there by the Crawfordsville Masons last week sayE: "At one time during the proceedings it was thought the goat had succumbed to the villianous attack of his tormentors and was really dead, but after extricating him from the rubbish that fell upon him in his desperate struggle against his tormentors, it was found that although considerably disfigured he was still in the ring, whereupon tears of repen-

structive and moral lecture, supplemented by Btereopfcicon views which were explained by Wm. White, auditor of Montgomery county. No such work has ever been given before in the Hillsboro lodge of Masons. The members of the order are highly felicitated and extend a welcoming hand to all the visiting brethren and a cordial invitation to return again should occasion demand it."

IT IS IRREGULAR.

The S1)i]|liig of I)eii«l liortit'H and lloxos of Bo iins Without Legal Permission.

The health officers of the state are becoming iconsiderably exercised in consequence of the fact that many people seem to think it unnecessary to obtain permits for shipping dead bodies. Such action is, of course, highly irregular and for the benefit of the public should be prevented. Dr. Barcus, county health officer, is in receipt of the following letter from the health oilicer of a neighboring county, which shows that the irregularity haR been practiced hereabouts: "DKAK DOCTOR—A few days ago a box of bones from one of our local cemeteries was shipped to Crawfordsville. The local police put me on after it was too late to stop proceedings. Did you issue permit for re-intermont? Are you on to the deal.? Find out the undertaker or sexton who re-buried and jack him up. I should like to get in touch with my neighbors as health officers and see if these cemetery people will carry on thiugs as they have done in the past. I went to some trouble to sift this matter aud the record says, if it is the same body, "Mr. died August 23, 1873, congestive chill, etc." If you knew of the transportation I should have heard from you. But I understand that it went down the road in a coffee box and by freight at that Find out what you can to satisfy yourself and stop such irregular proceedings

Heware of i^ood Samples.""

Quite recentiy in New York two deaths occurred from poisoning by the use of powders sent to the victims by mail. In Leavenworth, Kans the other day nearly every doctor in town was called to attend the children who had gathered up, eaten, and been made ill by samples of an article left at houses by canvassers for advertising purposes.

Alum baking powders have always been favorite articles for this sampling business. Yet there is nothing more liable to lead to danger than the practice of using the various samples of baking powder left at the door. They are presented by irresponsible parties, in appearance aj not distinquisbable

from arsenic, and, indeed, in Indiana

I some time

since, one package was

found, after it had caused the death of the housewife, to have been mixed with that poison.

It is safer to refuse all samples of food or medicine offered at the door. Pure cream of tartar baking powders sell upon tbeir merits, and are never peddled or sampled.

Ollicer McCoy's Capture,

Officer McCoy last Friday captured in the woods near Mace a tramp who was loaded down with the plunder from a country store. The chap gave the name of Harry Corbett and wag locked up in jail. Saturday morning Armstrong Brothers, of Mace, identified the goods as those stolen from their store. Corbett will undoubtedly be sent over the road. The Armstrongs were naturally greatly tickled and thanked Officer McCoy profusely

for

brinKin&

the burglar to justice.

When Armstrong went to the jail with the police he found that even the clothes the fellow had on were taken from his store as well as the revolver, knives, and other articles found in his possession. Corbett refuses to confess and declares that he found the stolen property under the platform at tho Junction.

Darlington Cemetery Case.

The contest between the town of Darlington and the lodge of Odd Fellows of that place was argued last Friday before the supreme court. The lodge bought four acres of ground ad-

of lodge members. The town has grown partly around this cemetery and some of thoae living near objected to the burial of bodies in it. The town officers secured an order to annex the cemetery to the town and then passed an ordinance forbidding burials in the plat. The Odd Fellows claim that the annexation proceedings were not legal and the question has been brought to the supreme court for settlement.

School Hooka*

There will be almost a complete change of school books next fall, but the grammar, histories, physologies and spellers will remain the same. Silver, Burdette & Co., will furnish the arithmetics, Grim & Co the geographies, Eaton & Co the copy bookB and the Indiana School Book Co., the revised readers. The copy books will be vertical or slant aB desired by the several boards of education. TheBe changes will cause an enormous sale of books and the book dealers will be kept busy for several days in supply log the demands.

COMMITTED SUICIDE, HICKS FOR MAY.

li. Trembly, formerly of Thin County, Commitx Suicide in New Juraey.

Word has been recoived here of the death of Dr. D. G. Trombley, formerly of Mace. His death occurred in New Jersey and was due to morphine poisoning, hj having taken the same with suicidal intent. Dr. Trembly left here six or seven years ago and it is said that ho did not succeod very well in the east. lie became despondent and finally ended his troubles by self destruction. While a resident of this county he married the daughter of John Berry, of southeast of the city, and she with two children survives him. They will return here, it is thought, to make their home. Dr. Trembly was well thought of while hero and the news of his death will bo received with regret.

THE COUNTY DISTRICTED

In Accordance With the Now Reform —I'uion in a District to Herself.

The county commissioners met Monday in special session to arrange the townships of the county into four districts in accordance with the new county reform law. This law provides that there shall be four districts to the county,that no township shall be sub-divided, and that the townships in each district shall be contiguous. These provisions here prevented a fair districting as Union township has nearly twice as many inhabitants as any othor district that could be formed. The commissioners, however, did the best thing possible and made the following division of the townships:

First district—Coal, Wayne and Ripley. Second district—Brown, Scott and Clark.

Third district—Madison, Walnut, Franklin and Sugar Creek Fourth district—Union.

Judge West has not b.s yet made up his mind as to whom ho will appoint to the county council but he expect? to be able to name the members of this board within a few days. There is no great rush of applicants for pla. „s therf on so he will not be hampered by being forced to choose from desirous talent.

Thugs in Uniform.

The Lafayette company in the volunteer Rorvice in the Spanish war disgraced itself during the entire term of its enlistment by insubordination and all sorts of hellishnesB. Now that these reckless rowdies have been mustered out they do not ceaBe their trouble making, for on Saturday afternoon rival factions of tho gang held a pitched battle in the etreets of Lafayette and one man was badly injured. The company was a diBgrace to Lafayette during its service and now that it is out the young hoodlums who compose it should be brought to with a jerk that will make their bones crack.

A ifroy- LI atkard.

Sunday evening at the home of the bride in Frankfort occurred the marriage of Roscoe Alfrey, of this city, and Mis6 Nellie Hackard. The happy young couple will will make Crawfordsville their future home, the groom having a successful insurance business here. His bride was formerly a resident of this city, being a sister of Cal Hackard and is a young lady of many charms. The friends of Mr. and Mrs. Alfrey extend to them best wishes for along and happy life together.

At Hillsboro.

About thirty Masons went to Hillsboro last week and attended the lodge there, the Crawfordsville team taking a candidate through the third rank work. A sumptuous banquet was served before the initiatory exercises and a splendid time was enjoyed by the visitors.

Ho l'rvdictN a Very tVol month and 8ees A ew Fronts Coming.

Hero is weather prophet Hicks' latest prediction for the weather we« are to experience next month:

May brings from the 1st to 3d a regular Vulcan 6torm period. Very warm weather, falling barometer and rain storms will prevail, patsing from western to eastern parts during the 1st to 4th. Two or three days of cooler weather will lead up to change and reactionary 6torms on and touching the Sth and 9th, followed by cool nights with frost north. From the 13th to the 15th falls another storm period, calling for change to warmer, falling barometer and numerous storms of rain, wind and thunder. At this time of year all angry storm clouds should be carefully watched. Look for cool nights with northern froBts about 14th to 10th. The 17th and 18th are central days of reactionary disturbances, to be followed by change to cooler from 19th to 22ad. A regular storm period, intensified by mercury, full moon and an approaching Venus equinox, covers the 23rd to 27th. Many heavy storms, some of them tornadic, will occur at this time. Watch your barometer and the clouds.

A Closing Out Sale.

As has baen currently rumored on the streets for two weeks Zach MRhorney & Sons have decided to retire from business in Crawfordsville. Their closing out sale is advertised in today's

JOUKNAI,,

Mr. Mahornoy, who

has been in business here for almost forty years, will retire permanently from business. James Mahorney will remove to Marion and open a large furniture store in that city.

Asks Divorce.

Mrs. Sarah J. Marshall, of Darlington, appeared in the circuit court last Friday and filed suit for divorce (from Marvin T. Marshall. She alleges in her complaint that they were married in 1882 and that they lived together happily until last Decoration Day. On that day the defendant came home drunk and cursed her and drove her out of the house. She lived with him until October 1898, on his promise to reform, but he repeatedly broke these promises and
