SPECIAL TRAIN IS RUN FOR MINE PAYMASTERS
Eleven Coal Companies Each Providing 1,500 Tons Daily—Coke and Gas Plant Site.
The development of the coal Industry In Fayette township, Vigo county, has made It necessary for the Chicago, Terre Haute & Southeastern railroad to run a pay train extra out of here twice a month to accommodate the paymasters of the several coal companies operating there. Heretofore, the paymaster of each coal company, in an automobile, with an armed guard, has visited the mines of each company on pay days, but now this has been done away with.
The paymasters are taken in automobiles to Grover, Just north of the city, where the Clinton interurban crosses the Southeastern line, and there the special train meets them. The magnitude of the business in the district is shown by the fact that eleven coal companies are operating there, each producing from 1,500 to 2,300 tons of coal daily, a condition tha.t did not exist three years ago.
Runs 8pecia! Trains.
The Southeastern runs special trains for the miners daily, 1,500 miners living in the northern part of the city, and using the train daily to go to their work. The round trip price for this service is only $1 a month.
Myron J. Carpenter, president of the Southeastern, said three years ago, when the Fayette township coal industry began development, that he would make a round trip rate for the miners that would make it possible for them to live In Terre Haute, give their children school privileges, and have the advantage of modern homes, instead of being compelled to live in the shacks that are in too many instances the only residences possible for them in the average mining camp.
The recent purchase by the new S2.500,000 corporation, the Indiana Coke and Gas company, of twentyfour acres of ground in the southeastern part of Terre Haute on which to place the coke and gas plant it proposes to operate there, has been followed by the preliminary work on the part of the Chicago, Terre Haute & Southeastern Railroad company, of putting in eight switch tracks adjacent to the site of the new plant.
Gas for Terre Haute?
The ground was bought of the railroad company, and an average price of $500 an acre was paid for it. It is situated at Thirteenth and Hulman streets, which gives the new corporation the advantage of connection with the huge belt sewer at that point. Gas will be one of the main by-products of the company, and it is common report that the new corporation will contract with the Citizens' Gas and Fuel company, the local gas company, to provide it with gas for its patrons, although this report has not been verified. It is expected that work on the plant will begin shortly.

SIX SHOT TO DEATH IN HOMEINCOUNTRY
Customer of Dairyman Discovers Gruesome Tragedy, and Summons Officials to Scene.
NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Nov. 27. —Breaking into the home of Samuel Weitzmann, a farmer, near here lato today officers from the district attorney's office found six persons shot to death. They were Weitzmann, his wife and daughter, the latter's husband and two farm hands.
It is the belief of the kcal police that one of the farm hands killed the other five members of the household and then committed suicide.
The dead in addition to Weitzmann and his wife are: David Kigner, 28 Mrs. Beatrice Kigner and the two farm hands, apparently Polish.
Weitzmann was a milk dealer. A customer who had received no milk since Tuesday went to the Weitzmann home in an effort to learn what the trouble was. Approaching the house he noticed no one seemed to be about and peered in one of the front windows. In the front room he saw the body of Weitzmann. The frightened customer then ran back a mile to the nearest telephone and notified the police and district attorney. Officers from the latter's office, accompanied by police hurried to the scene.

PARIS JUDGMENT STANDS.
Probate Judge Overrules Motion to Reopen Inheritance Taxe Case. The motion of the state auditor, Dale J. Crittenberger, for the reopening of the estate of the late George W. Faris, former congressman from the Fifth district, and for a modified Judgment providing for the collection of the inheritance tax by this state, which was referred to L. R. Niftzger, of the United States attorney general's office, was overruled by Judge A. L. Miller in the Probate Court late yesterday. An opinion was received from Niftzger which set out that the demurrer filed by the attorneys for the estate was valid, and for this reason the complaint dismissed.
Recently Crittenberger filed a petition for the reopening of the estate on the grounds that the state of Indiana had a right to the inheritance tax on the estate, which wns appraised at $78,676.12. Niftzger held that as the property in question was In the District of Columbia it therefore was without the jurisdiction of the Indiana courts.

ANCIENT WILL SETS UP UNIQUE PROVISIONS
Document Written In 1821 Took Particular Care of Upbringing of Writer's Daughters.
An echo of quaint speech and peculiarities of by-gone days was heard in the county recorder's office yesterday, when the will of David Raymond, a wealthy farmer of Orange county, attested in the year 1821, was read. The will was filed to clear up the title on a section of the city lots taking In a territory from Seventh to Tenth streets and from Crawford street to College avenue, which, at the time of the writing of the will, was owned by Raymond and deeded to his heirs.
The principal heir to the estate was Raymond's daughter, and in addition to inheriting a goodly portion of what is now one of the most popular residential districts in Terre Haute, she was also deeded much good advice.
The will provided for five executors, who were to make it their duty to see

She was to be taught the things that are "useful, not ornamental," and was to copy her actions after two spinster aunts.
