Aaron Moon, a wealthy Pierson township farmer, is defendant in a $10,000 breach of promise suit filed against him Monday afternoon by Mrs. Delania Rauley, who gives her occupation as proprietor of a West Wabash avenue hotel. She alleges that Moon, who is a widower, 60 years of age, courted her last April and secured her promise to marry him, July 4 being set for the nuptials, for which she made great preparation in getting her wedding trousseau ready. The aged but coy Adam, however, failed to show on the bridal morn, much to her disappointment, and he has since failed and refused to keep his promise. She has been mortified thereby, and her feelings outraged to such an extent that nothing less than $10,000 will assuage them. DeKalb Fortune is her attorney.

EAST WABASH PAVING IS OPENED TO TRAVEL

Gives Farmers Fine Brick Road From West Terre Haute to Well Into Lost Creek.

The Fast Wabash avenue pavement was opened for traffic at noon Tuesday and travel on the National road east is now afforded. A brick paved road way as far east as a point 1,200 feet into Lost Creek township.

Louis Seeburger,. inspector on the work, said Tuesday morning: "This is the greateet thing that has happened in Terre Haute for many a day. It gives Terre Haute and the farmers of Vigo county a paved road way from the Vandalia tracks in West Terre Haute to some distance into Lost Creek township, passing through Sugar Creek township, Harrison township and that far into Lost Creek township. The work has been done by the Pflzenmeyer construction company. I have had as my assistant Andrew O'Mara, a brick man of manyyears' experience, and I believe that we have one of the finest brick streets ever laid. The street is fifteen feet two inches wide, wide enough for all purposes of traffic and it will be of a tremendous advantage to country travel coming into the city."

The construction of this road was made possible by the city cemetery fund being applied to the purchase of the bonds. The city will get four and one-half percent interest for the money thus invested. The work was started by Mayor Roberts and members of the Chamber of Commerce and good roads committee turning the first dirt.
