INDIANA HAPPENINGS.

irUTS AND INCIDENTS THAT HAVE LATELY OCCURRED. Am Intaranting Summary of the More I important Doings of Our Neighbors— Weddings and Deaths—Crime, Casualties and General News Note*. Return of a Prodigal. About twenty-five years ago a 10-year-old boy named George Davis, who resided with Isaac Houghland, then a prominent farmer and doctor living in the southern part of Scott County, suddenly dis appeared. The day he left he was severely chastised for some offense, and going to the station at Vienna, fell in company with some soldiers and went with them to Louisville, from there he went to Cincinnati, and thence to Nashville, Tenn. In the course of time he married and engaged in farming. Some time since he and his wife separated, and he resolved to return to Scott County in search of his rela&ves, having never heard from them since his flight. On his arrival he was iaformed that during his absence his widowed mother had married Asa Broady, and, after his death a few years ago, removed to Kansas, where she now resides. Davis started anew on his journey to find his mother, who has mourned him as dead for years.

Family Poisoned. A very strange case of poisoning occurred at Greenburg recently. Mr. Lafayette Shelhorn has resided on a farm in Adams township, but removed to Greenburg the other clay. The family brought with them everything they ate, except bread, which was procured at a bakery. About 10 o’clock at night the entire family was taken violently ill. The physician was sent for and soon pronounced it a case of poisoning. Mr. Shelhorn was least affected; his wife and two daughters, aged 8, 10, and 22 respectively, were all very sick, and Ida Cline, a servant, 15 years old, was worse than any of the others. All are better, though the servant is very ill, and her ease may yet prove fatal. Dr. Falconbury says that the symptoms indicate poison from croton oil, and he can account for it in no other way than that some miscreant threw some of the oil in the well, and it was brought up by use of the chain pump.

She and another young girl were on the lake in a boat, and when the Hootger girl attempted to turn the boat around, she fell overboard. The body has not been recovered.

—At Lakeville Peter Hathaway returned home drunk, and compelled his wife to get up from her sick bed and cook supper for himself and a boon companion. She did so and shortly afterwards fell dead. —At North Webster, Bert Kiser was riding a two-wheeled spring-tooth harrow', when an obstruction was met, and he was jerked forward, his body falling between the frame-work and wheel. The unfortunate man’s neck was broken, and his body was wrapped around the axle when found. —A fine, large barn, belonging to George Tedrow, six miles south of Martinsville, burned with its entire contents of hay, grain, farming implements, etc. His horses happened to be out on pasture. His residence caught fire from tne flames and was, with difficulty, saved from destruction. Loss, $2,000; no insurance. - Mrs. D. L. Bouslog, aged 35 years, was killed at her home, six miles east of Middletown. She had gone to the barnlot, with her two small children, to milk the cows. She had just begun the milking when the cow kicked her, striking her under the chin, with sufficient force to break her neck, and she died in the presence of her two little children before older persons could be summoned.

—Egbert Lee, assistant agent of the Lake Erie road at Frankfort, met with a horrible death. In boarding a west-bound passenger train to ride down in the yards, his hold on the railing loosened, and he was thrown under the tram. The wheels of the hind car passed over his head and shoulders, severing the head from the body. Mr. Lee was a member of the class of ’B9 of Frankfort Highschool, and a model young man. A. C. Staley, president of theSatley woolen-mills, of South Bend, was by a mistake of a druggist, given morphine instead of quinine for a billious complaint, with probably fatal results. Mr. Staley took the dose on retiring at night, but the mistake was not discovered until next morning, when his wife attempted to arouse him. Physicians have constantly w'orked with him since then, but have not been able to arouse him from the stnpor produced by the fatal drug. Mr. Staley has always been identified with public interests, and was a man of advanced years. —County Treasurer-elect Osterman took charge of his office on Wednesday, and required a cash settlement with Treasurer Loftin. When the latter took the office two years ago he accepted about SIOO,OOO in paper from his predecessor, and Loftin has lost heavily, owing to his inability to collect the notes. One of the notes was on John E. Sullivan, the defaulting County Clerk, for $15,000, and this has proven an entire loss. After being in the office two years, and paying out everything he has made to make up the bad paper received from his predecessor, Loftin had to borrow $24,000 in order to settle with Osterman.

—A somewhat novel point of law has been raised by the Coroner of Allen County. Curtis Baldwin, whose homo is in Randolph County, was killed at Fort Wayne. A coroner’s inquest waß held. The body was shipped to Winchester with C. O. D. charges. Ten dollars were Coroner’s fees. Baldwin’s friends were willing to pay all charges but the Coroner’s fees, claiming that they should be paid by the county in which the inquest was held. The Fort 'Wayne Coroner would not hear to this and telegraphed to the express agent at Winchester to collect the full amount or send the body back. Baldwin’s friends, rather than permit a scandal, paid the money.

A special from Brazil says: The corn crop on the former Sprague creek reservoir is an entire failure this year. For some years past thousands of dollars have been expended in the improvement of these lands, all efforts to permanently reclaim them, so far, having proved abortive. The June floods swept away the large acreage and completely discouraged the owners and tillers of these lands. In fact, for the eight or ten years which have now been given to its cultivation, the reservoir has produced but one or two good crops. Several of the large owners express themselves favorable to the refilling and the maintaining of an artificial lake as a fishery. To this end, a stock company is suggested, to own the lands and place attractive improvements for the accomodation of fishing and pleasure parties. —Ollie Test, son of one of the proprietors of Test’s woolen-mills at Richmond, who has been much engrossed by the erection of a patent bridge across Whitewater, near the mill, was walking one of the twisted wire cables over the river, when suddenly it slipped off a pier, by which it was supported, and began rapidly to untwist. This caused it to part so as to let the boy’s leg between two strands of the cable, and, as it unwrapped, it whirled the boy around so rapidly as to make the appearance of a wheel all made of boys. As he went around his head narrowly missed a lower cable, and the wire wound tightly around his imprisoned leg. Finally the untwisting stopped and the screaming boy hung head downwards from the cable. Employes quickly rushed to the rescue, pried the cable’s ap’art with crowbars and took him out. His leg is bruised and slightly torn, but will soon heaL If he had been two inches taller his brains would have been dashed out bv striking the lower cable.

THE STRIKE IS STILL ON.

LONDON WORKMEN HAVE NOT RETURNED TO WOAK. Both Sides Quiet, Though Some Discontent Is Manifested by the Workmeuliaising Funds for the Strikers—Coal Increasing hi Price. A London dispatch says: The great strikt remains unchanged, neither side having made a move to-day. There are signs of discontent, howevir, among tae agitatoi s, and it is a s rfced that a small committee heen appointed to coi sider the advisability of abandtn-ng the strike. There is also trouble over the relief funds, the stevedores complaining that they are not receiving their proper share, but the men are generally standing firm and there is nothing like disaffection in their ranks. Ten thousand tailors joined the strikers this morning. Information has been received by the police and by Home Secretary Matthews that Burns to-day urged the strikers to proceed to the docks and expel the men working there. Eight hundred Ltrikers visited the Albert docks this afternoon and compelled the laborers there to quit work. Men at work on vessels in the Medway were also forced to quit. The government is now employing convicts to unload vessels in the Medway.

The dock companies express themselves as better satisfied with the aspect of affairs. They have an increased number of men at work. The officials state that plenty of labor would be obtainable if the strikers’ picket system were abolished. A deputation of ship-owners, representing eighty of the leading houses in the metropolitan district, waited upon the officials of tlhe dock companies to day and urged upon them to give the shippers power to make their own arrangements with the men for the discharge and loading of vessels. Mr. Norwood, chairman of the joint docks committee, appealed to the shippers not to press their request, as to grant it would be impossible without conceding the points which the comnanieg are fighting against. At a meeting of wharfingers a resolution was adopted advising the strikers to accept the dock companies’ offer. Mr T. P. O’Connor’s paper, the Star, has collected £2,500 for the strikers’ fund. A dispatch to the Star from Melbourne, Australia, says that at a meeting there the sv.m of *1,500 was collected on behalf of the strikers. At Rochester, there is much excitement over the strike. Coal has advanced 2 shillings. The railroads and the river docks are picketed by strikers to prevent the importation of new labor. Two of the largest firms here have expressed their willingness to grant the required concessions, but the men refuse to return to work unless all the firms concede their demands. At Dundeo, a trades union congress baa adopted resolutions to the effect that ihe London agitators are justified in their demands. The congress also called upon the various trades of the United Kingdom tc render the strikers all possible financial support. The mentionjof John Burns’ name was loudly applauded!

ELECTRICITY WILL KILL.

A New York Man Struck by an A'ternating Current. A New York dispatch says: Darwin A. Henry, aged 28, son of Charles V. Henry, superintendent of the Standard Underground Cable company of Pittsburg, and himself superintendent of construction for the East River Electric Light company, was instantly killed to-day by electricity in the company’s factory. Mr. Henry was standing on a step ladder arranging some wire on a switchboard at tbe time. It is be'ieved he missed his footing wnile on Ihe ladder and can ;ht hold of tho vires while trying to s'eady linuelf. It is said the shock was fr m an a tsmate current of 1.000 volti. The i e h on his right hand and finzers was burned 1o (he lone. His left hrnd was slightly scorched, and on his left elbow there wes tl e imprint of a wire. Efforts were made by physicians to resuscitate him in vain.

A MONTANA CAMP BURNED.

Barker Nearly Destroyed—Several Dives Thought to Have Been Dost. Great Falls (M. T.) dispatch: The mining camp of Barker was almost destroyed by fire yesterday. The fire started in a miner’s camp, three doors below Zeigler’s house, and swept from there up the valley, burning all the eastern portion of the camp. It is supposed that Ellis, bis wife, and four children all lost their lives. There are also three men missing. Mr. Heibles lost seventy tons of hay, farm tools, and everything but his household goods. Barker is the business center of the entire Barker district and is about sixty-five miles southeast of Great Falls. The mineral deposits are on both the east and west sides of the camp, the burned portion being on the east side of the creek, where most of the business was done. The place will be at once rebuilt.

CENSUS EMPLOYES.

Robert Porter, Superintendent of the Census Bureau, Makes Appointments. Robert Porter, superintendent of the census bureau, has appointed Dr. Charles A. Ashburner and John H. Jones special agents to collect statistics of coal for the eleventh census. Ashburner was formerly in charge of the geological survey in Pennsylvania. Jones was the statistician for the Pennsylvania railroad compuny. James H. Blodgett, Rockford, 111., has been appointed special agent to collect the educational statistics. James M. Swank of Philadelphia has been appointed special agent to collect sta-* tistics of the iron and steel trade, and Joseph D. Weeks of Pittsburg has been appointed special agent to collect statistics of petroleum, coke, natural gas, and glass. Burned to Death for His Crime. Lexngton (Ky.) dispatch: The 1% year-old daughter of William Oates, a wealthy farmer of Wayne county, Kentucky. was assaulted Saturday by a negro servant. As soon as the crime was made known a posse was organized and a search began for the negro. He was found and identified and after some delay was placed In a trench. Dry rails were placed on him. 4-Iter being saturated with coal oil the r&fls were set on fire. The fiend was burned to a crisp.

WHAT BASE-BALL COSTS.

RECEIPTS OF THE LEAGUE AND AMERIIAN ASSOCIATION. The Race for the Various Pennants—TVhat the Clubs of the League Are Doing on the Season’s Home-Stretch—Diamond Dust. [CHICAGO CORRESPONDENCE.] The race for the League championship grows in interest as the season draws to a close. New York and Boston are still running neck and neck, and no one can safely predict which will come out ahead. Chicago has showed a marked improvement in play during the pakt two weeks, and threatens to displace Philadelphia from third position, if, indeed, as “Old Anse" boasts he will, she does not give Boston and New York a tight rub for first place. The Philadelphia are in hard lines. They haven't a man to place in the box in whom they can put any feeling of security, and the rest of the team is not doing the sort of work t:iat permits of loose pitching. The poor “Babies' are having a serious run of bad luck, losing most ol their games by only one mn. Ihey couldn’t come down the list anv faster on a greased pole. Cleveland crowds are souring on them and seim not to care whether they hold filth place or the last. The Pittsburgs are close behind and are out for all they ••an get. Hauion’s manugement was all that was needed to put the Jonahs on their feet. The Indianapolis people continue to break out quite regularly and grab off a game here and there. Tho Washingtons, too, give an occasional black eye. but noue of their scraps seem to return them any benefit and they are as heavily anchored at the bottom of the list as ever.- The Western clubs have of late been showing tho best work and some radical changes in the leaguo standing may be very proporly watched for.

Should Boston and Brooklyn win the pennants of the League and Association respectively, it will emphasize the power of boodle in base-ball. The hopeless breakdown of Peter Conway takes from base-ball one of the best pitchers ever in it, and conveys to its exponents a warning to correct their habits. The Washington management have made arrangements with the Bostons to play a series of six games In Washington during the triennial concl-v* of the Knichts Templars In October *

PULLED A JUDGE S HAIR

SARAH ALTHEA HILL-TERRY’S ENMITY SHOWN. The Habeas Corpus Case of Deputy Marshal Nagle Hi lugs Out Some Testimony Not at All Favorable to the Peaceable Character of David Terry. Pan Francisco (Cal) dispatch: The taking of testimony in the habeas corpus proceedings in tbe case of Deputy Marshal David Nagle, who shot and killed David Terry at iAthrop recently, was commenced in the United Stales Circuit court before Judge Sawyer Tuesday. The counsel for the defens? in opeuing the case made a long statement of the circumstances which led to the killing of Judge Terry, and gave a synopsis of what the defense proposed to prove by witnesses who were to be examined. He said it would be proved that the life of Justice Field bad been threatened long prior to the assault in the dining saloon at Lathrop, and that Nagle in shooting Terry had every reason to believe that unless he did so these threats would be carried out In acting as he did it would be shown that he merely did his duty os a sworn officer of the law. Witnesses wore then called who red ted the details of the attack made upon Judge Sawyer by Mrs. Terry on the train between Los Angeles and San Fran isoo over a year ag\ Judge Van Dyke of los Angeles Testified that he was a passenger in tho same car with Judge Sawyer, and that David Terry and his wife entered the car at Fresno. Soon after the train started Mrs. Terry arose and passed up the car, glaring at Judge Sawyer as she passed him, and then returned to her seat. A few minutes later Judge Terry arose and took a seat at the forward end of the car, facing Judge Sawyer. Mrs. Terry then joined him. and as she passed Judge bawver sho reached over and pulled his hair. Sho afterward took a seat behind Judge Sawyer, and the witness thought she intended to attack him with her parasol, but in a few moments she joined hor husband and no further trouble occurred. W. M. Coles of this city, who was also a passenger on the car, corroborated Judge Van Dyke’s account of tho affair, and said that after Mrs. Terry made the attack she j ined her husband in a seat near him and related what had occurred with a great deal of glee, at which Judge Terry laughed. The witness heard Mrs. Terry say “I will give him a tasto of what he is to get hereafter; let him render that decision if he dares.” He heard .Judge Terry say that the only thing fit to do with Judge Sawyer would be to take him out in the. bay and drown him. Marshal Franks was then called and related the incident in the Circuit court room last September when Mrs. Terry interrupted the roading of Justice Field’s decision. He said that he attempted to remove her from tho room, when she made a violent attack upon him and Judge Terry interfered and drew a knife. A pistol was afterwards takon from Mrs. Terry’s sachel. The marshal further stated that when he presented to Terry the ordor committing hitn and his wife to jail both became very abusive and Terry said: “When I get out of jail and Judge Field returns to California I will meet him and it will not be a very pleasant meeting for him.” A number of other witnesses also testified asto the affair in the court-room. Deputy Sheriff Woolsey, who had charge of the Alameda county jail while Terry and his wife were confined there, testified that he often conversed with Terry and the latter told him that ho always carried a knife. He called tbe judges and marshal “curs” and said he would yet iive to see them in their graves. He* was very abusive of Judge Field. An Oakland newspaper reporter testified that Mrs. Terry had once told him that she would probably kill Judge Field some day.

STOLE THOUSANDS.

The Son of an Austrian Count Arrested for Embezzling. Max Jacobson, one of the cleverest of European sharpers, has been arrested at Chicago for extensive embezzlements on the Fidelity and Casualty company of this city. Jacobson, who is a young man of distinguished appearance, has been in the employ of the company nearly a year. He caino here with excellent recommendations. His promotion was rapid and he was soon given entire control of the company’s Western business, being installed as superintendent. He had the handling of large sums of money, and his accounts passed with very little examination. During the l Washington park races, however, President Alexander learned by accident that his superintendent was risking large sums of money in the pools, and a systematic investigation was begun, and Jacobson was proved to be a forger and confidence man, known in most of the capitals of Europe, and to have been released only a year ago after serving four years at Joliet for forgery. From Vienna, Austria, word came that Jacobson’s father held the title of count and was one of the wealthiest of Austrian bankers. It having been reported that Jacobson was preparing to leave the city, a warrant charging him with embezzlement was sworn out at once, arid an officer arrested the young man just as he was stepping on a train for New York. When locked up at the Central Jacobson admitted much that was charged against him; but when he heard that his father knew of the matter he became almost frantic.

SCARED TO DEATH.

A H ealthy Kentucky Woman Succumbs to a Queer Case of Fright. Bellevue (Ky.) dispatch: The largest funeral seen here for years was that of Mrs. Angelo Rusconi, one of the riches* women in the State. She was frightened to death by a ghost. For some time ant “uncanny” visitor has appeared nightly in a room over Boro’s grocery and cfbwds gathered nightly to see It. Saturday night Mrs. Rusconi went to see the “ghost” She was very fleshy and was afflicted with a tumor. When suddenly the ghost appeared she fell dead; Last night a thorough investigation was made and it was found that the “ghost” is the reflection of an eleetrio light at the river landing.
