INDIGNATION.

The Citizens of

Last night a committee consisting of Messrs. Littlefield and Quick, waited upon the Express and furnished the following report of a public meeting. Mr. Montgomery will sue the city for damages.

The many recent unwarrantable and inexmsable arrests of citizens of Marshall upon groundless and frivolous pretexts by the police of Terre Ilacte, was the all absoi bing topic of conversion on yesterday, and found concentrated expression in a large and enthusiastic meeting of (.iiizons, irrespective of political affiliations, in which public exprtsfci'in of the feelng uf our citizens was manifested, and a vigorous protest entered against such higti banded and lawless indignities.

The meeting was railed to order, the objects of the same briefly stated, and upon mol-ion Lyman Booth was elected chairman, and Ed flarlansecretary.

The secretary offered and read the (oliowing resolutions, which, upon motion, was unanimously and enthusiastically adopted:

Whereas, On Thursday nlglil lust Samuel Montgomery, a )«accablc, quiet and industrlmiH elUsen of this place, while traveling through Terre Haute on his wny home attending to his own business, was arro«ted by the police of said city witlmUt shadow of authority or warrant «inl dragged to prison and there kept m1il morning and then released without pxpliinatlon or without a pretended charge against him.

And, whereas, the above is only a ripeIII Ion of sundry other arrests of our citizens upon groundless charges and malicious detentions of citizens upon civil prosecutions therefore

Unsolved, That we deprecate such unwarranted outrages, and feel that such •JiHgrnceful arrests are without r?«' "i'ij will)out, authority, and without i. that a, people who will quietly cOttnlen«moe such transactions arc unworthy the nainu of citizens. That such police, acting even by their own dictation, are a burning shame on our civilisation.

Resolved, That wo, as a people assembled, hold both the city and lis police responsible for such outrages and

Resolved further, That wo as citizens. »isk as a matter of simple justice thuL the municipal authorities of Terrc Haute lake such necessary steps as will prevent repetition of such outrages in the future.-, and that the offending officers be sumniarily dismissed from the positions they have disgraced, to the end that law abiding, soberand orderly citizens from surrounding towns while waiting nt the depot, mav nave reasonable immunity at least, from arrest and outrage.

On motion the secretary was instructed to furnish all the Terre Haute and local papers with a copy of the foregoing, and that a copy of the same be scut to the mayor and police commissioners of Terre Haute.

On motion adjourned. LYMAN BOOTH, Chairman. Ei. HAJO,AN, Secretary.

A crowd followed him to his home, but acted in a quiet and orderly manner.

The justice before Carpenter had the hearing summed up the case by stating that while tne prosecution had shown a "probable cause," the evidence had not been such as would warrant him in denying the accused an opportunity to give bail. The prisoner's bond was placed at $10,000 for his appearance at the next term of court,and the sureties offered were approved by the court. The father of the murdered girl created a sensation by making a hostile demonstration against theaccused, but was reatrained by the police.

Thenext day we marched to McMinnville, and went into camp. The second or third dajj after our arrival the news came that John Morgan had captured ourcavalry at Gallatin, among whom was a portion of the Fourth Indiana Cavalry, but that Bob Stewart, with a number of his men did not surrender. They cut their way out and reported at Nashville. At McMinnville we were commanded by General Cruft, and then M. D. Manson. Here we did but little more than regular camp duty, very little drilling. We scouted over the country, at least to the peach orchards, of which there were a good many. If we had stopped at the orchards it would have been better for the citizens, but the boys would find their way into cellars and secret places where wine and brandy were hidden, but let them find what they may, they would divide with our company and our officers. I think we were blessed with good officers from the first day of enlistment. Our first captain was George Harvey, a Quaker. His patiotism got the better of his religion, and he went to the war for his country. In fact, we had more Quakers in company I than any other one sect. The next in number were the Presbyterians, and as all know very bitter against slavery. While here (McMinnville) we were almost naked. Some of us, and we were very few, managed to have a full suit minus a blouse. When washday came we. would go down

hang them in the sun to dry. While our clothes were drying we would lay around in the shade and bushes to avoid the vision of out betters—i. e. the.ladies. While here we made one Bcouting expedition of two days' march from McMinnville towards the mountains, near Sparta, I believe. Our cavalry (who belonged to heac'ijuarters) the First Ohio, went to Johu Morgan's rear guard, who soon got out of the way. We then returned to camp.

How to

Potatoes.

At present date the inquiry occurs— What is the best way to store the potatoes for the approaching winter? If placed in a cellar, they should not be heaped upon the bottom, but either be deposited in bins, or in boxes, barrels or hogsheads. The bins should be partly open at the bottom, the narrow boards or planks being placed an inch apart, and these should besome inches above the cellar bottom to admit air Large boxes raised half afoot on crosstimbers, do equally well. The boxes used by nurserymen for sending trees to their customers are just the thing. One will hold twenty bnshels or upward. Coarse sacking or tight board covers are required to exclude the light. If barrels or hogsheads are employed, holes should be bored in the bottoms, and timbers placed nnder their.

In past yean it was common to bury potatoes in heaps, ajnple cellar room not having been provided in tfcose days. Many bnshels were lost from imperfect protection and want of ventilation. Sometimes they were frosen,

v^.i *1*

but more commonly the tops of the heaps were found rotten when opened, the remit of the accumulation of fom •ir then, and the want of ventistion at the apex. They were often spoiled by too mnch dampness. All these difficulties were at. once obviated by niring enough straw and making a ventilating hole at the top. A foot of packed straw was found sufficient to absorb the extra dampness, as well as to exclude frost. A few irches of earth on the straw outside, beaten smooth and compact, were all that was required te keep the straw in position. A hole made in the llpex of the heap, two or three inches In diameter, stopped with a loose wisp t%l strnw, allowed the foul sir to escape. During thecoldest weather it was more compacity closed. A well-drained spot ntast always be selected. We nave kqown heaps of potatoes containing seventy or eighty bushels thus kept through the winter, and opening fresh aD'i) in excellent condition in spring, with the loss of scarcely a peck of the rode. Where farmers have raised large crops this year to be kept till spring, and have not ample cellarroom, this mode may be successfully adopted. In grain-growing regions they have an abundance of Btraw for stQch -purposes.

The Closing Higlit a Great £uci'i,: .•

Won Them.

The dosinjt night of St. Joseph's church Bowling hall, attracted an immense crowd, and it is estimated that two thousand people were present during the evening. Every one present seemed to have money to contribute to the cause of the church and right liberally did they scatter their surplus ducats. The flower booths, grab bags and refreshment tables were liberally patronized, but the main interest was centered in the voting of an opera cloak to the most popular young lady and a gold badge to the most popular fireman. The contest for the firemans' badge was largely in favor of i. Caughlan and he had an easy show to win until some one entered a dark, horse in the person of the irrepressible Joe Fynch, who does not run with tHe machine but fires an engine in a printing office, by active canvassing, Joe, who had his strawberry hair parted on the equator and his left optic embellished with a single eye glass, worked up a very respectable vote, and it was thought for awhile that he would wear the badge but Caughlan's friends came manfully to the rescue of their favorite, and pulled him through, with 498J votes, against 441 for Joseph, and 83 for F, Cunzman. The opera cloak wasvoted to Miss J. O'Sullivan, she having received 342 votes, to 273 cast for Miss H. Stump. The other prizes were awarded as follows:

Submitting to a Poetic Inflnencc. New York Tribune. A small audience gathered in dickering Hall last evening to listen to Mrs. Cora L. V. Richmond who believes herself to be governed by spirits, one of which on Sunday night takes possession of her and delivers a lecture. The spirit on duty last night was evidently that of the graduate of a young ladies seminary, and she treated the audience to her graduating essay that, when it was. .first read, undoubtedly took a prize. The subject was "A Message from Beyond the Gates." .When the "message" had been delivered Mrs. Richmond announced that she would put herself nnder the "poetic influence" and recite an impromptu poem on any suhject given her by the audience. "When does life begin?" was given as a subject. Mrs. Richardson passed her hands over her eyes and shuddered slightly. Those in the audience with poetic sensibilities also shuddered. The "poetic influence" got to work in a rather twitchy manner, like the bridge can getting in motion. When once started, however, it rattled on glibly enough for about ten minutes, and evolved several distinct rhymes. Whoever the "poetic influence" was, it was felt to be a blessed thing that he died before publishing any of his poems.

The History of the Murdered Woman's Life as Gleaned froui ./iter Townsmen—Bolter

Dead Than Alive.

Friday afternoon an Express reporter boarded a train and went to Anderson. There he learned that Susanna Nelson was not a good woman. The influence of her life and company waB pernicioup. Notwithstanding this, she was of the gentler sex, lacking as she. did a few mdnths of being 70 years old. She was fast enough approaching her grave. There could have been butoner object in the murder of a woftian of this age, and that would be the money which she carried on her person.Htr relatives would gain flo'bios^ her 'death, for she had squandered nearly alliiie fortune lefther by her husband. What Blie did not spend she gave to her son Jasper to gamble away and to spend on fast women. It seems strange to honorable people that A woman would live»to be 58 years old, Bear a good reputation,"he left a widow with a handsome fortune, then turn and lead a life of debauchery and crime. In the home"—if it could be called a' home—of Susanna Nelson, the last dozen years of her life, many dark things happened. For along time she claimed to keep a boarding house but she had too many "hired girls" as she called them. She would dress loud, appear on the streets ot Anderson with h"cr wrinkled face painted,' and her person robed in the gaudiest of colors. Soon it was said that her place was an assignation house. Then it was the story that she would let men decoy innocent girls under her roof, and start them tn the road to ruin. -Then she became bolder, "hnng out her shingle," and went into business in a bold manner. The good people of Anderson objected, but objection proved no remedy.- "Madam". Susanna Nelson "held the fort." The police dared not molest her, for she held a sway that would take their official heads off as soon as they raised a finger against her. Men feared her women trembled at her every look. No home was safe in Anderson so.long as she held the power she did. Whfcn the Express reporter left Indianapolis he fell in with a man from Anderson, a man who said he had traveled the world over, and had never meet the equal of Susanna Nelson. To be candid with you," he said to the reporter, "it is a good thing that she is dead. She ought to have died years ago. If she had there would hture been more pure women in the worla, many a man would now have a happier home. She was a destroyer of her own sex, the ruin of men and the curse of homes."

At Anderson the tragedy was the all absorbing topic. Men were discussing it in the hotels, the Baloons, the restaurants and on the street corners. In all the town there was not one who \yculd say a good word for her.. Her own relatives kept their lips closed when it came to the question of the kind of life she lived. Speak to the citizens about it, and they would say, "It is a good thing she Ms gone." No one lamented her death. If she had fallen dead in the streets people would have exclaimed "glory!" She would have been buried the next day, and tile mourners would have been few. It was the manner of her taking off that caused the sensation. As one citizen expressed it to the reporter, "They felt as though they had a murderer in their midst a man who did not murder for revenge, but to get the few paltry hundred she had on her pereon." Theories as to who committed the crime were many. Men were open and bold in expressing their opinions. Two of her relatives were accused of knowing all about it, or having a hand in it. "It was Jasper Nelson," said some. The old lady had refused to give him any more money aud he killed her to get what she had with her. Tho reporter learned that the murdered woman and her son did not always get along well together that Jasper often mistreated her, and she had been heard to say that she wasafraidof Jasper, as he had threatened to kill her. Still she.was supposed to have entertained a strong attachment for this son, even though her tfffectioos might not have been reciprocated. Jasper is well-known as a traveling peddler. He inherited $15,000 from his father, but he kept his mother company in her debauchery till every penny was gone. Then he "squeezed" money from her, and to get that money- the mother led innocent girls to ruin, destroyed the souls of men and women and homes. Jasper was twice married. The same woman stood at the altar on both occasions and became his wife. She was a daughter of one of the most prominent citizens of Anderson. He first won her for his wife when his mother and himself led respectable lives. He broke her heart deserted her to associate with lewd women. She appealed to the courts for the marriage bonds to be broken. In the course of time he pretended to reform. Some say he did make a struggle to again hold up his head among honorable men. She married him again, only to see him sink lower and lower. Woman-like, she clung to the man who had been the curse of her life, and" is clinging to him to-day. She has deserted father and mother for him, and has followed him in his wanderings. She has been deserted by him time and again when his eye would happen to strike some loud-dressed woman. She is now at Cape Girardeau, Mo.

The next person to whom a few people alluded—and the reporter found them to be very few—was a nephew named Bronnenberg. He and Mrs. Nelson had been in some difficulty had a-law suit just befoie her departure from Anderson, and these suspicions ones thought he might know seething about it. He is a well-to-do man, and wonld gain notfiing hy her death. As soon as he learned that name was linked with the mystery offered a reward of $500 for. the arrest

•r?-?-'..»

of the murderer. He told the reporter that if the man who made the arrest did not think that waa enough he was willing to give more. His father stated that in the event of the murderer's arrest bis pocket-book would fly open and shower forth its contents. He is well able to do it, as it is staffed with crisp notes, backed by thousands of dollars worth of land and other property.^

The next to be accused was a preacher. A man of no denomination, but who preaches to any one who has patience to hear him. It is Baid by the police of Anderson that he was intimate with the old lady that he would leave the pulpit and go and dtbauch with the women that Mrs. Nelson kept in her house. He always wore seedy clothes until Mrs. Nelson's death. When she disappeared he disappeared. He turned, up shortly afterward, but her remains were found in a dark ravine whete the hogs and dogs bad dug them from the earth that had been thrown over them. When he returned he wore good clothes, spent money, bought blooded, stock, aud drove on the street# wiftt brazen women.

These are the ones suspected by the people of Anderson. How far they are wrong time will tell.

Mrs. Nelson's maiden name was Susanna Bronnenberg, She lias five brothers residing in Madison county—Jasper, Michael, Carl, Henry and Frederick Bronnenberg. They are well-to-do, their combined wealth aggregating six or eight hundred thousand dollars. When they were first informed of their sister's death they refused tobeleave it But when the blood-stained insurance policy was ehown tl^em, and inquiring telegrams brought no tidings of her whereabouts they refused to offer a reward, and it is confidentially believed by many that not a Bronnenberg would have raised a hand to avenge a sisters murder if the whispers of suspicion, had not set against one of them. They are men of high repute. Their mere*, werd is good for thousands of dollars. They despised the Jife led by their sister. Thihk as peoplft will, it is not natural for men to care for a sister after she ha£ lived a -life without stain for over half a century and then to plunge into the lowest depths of debauchery and place her soul on the brink of hell.

The reporter was able to learn more facts in regard to Mrs. Nelson's disappearance than has heretofore been published. As stated, she threw evety dollar of her fortune to the wind. By the means of her damnable avocation she scraped together about $1,100 in money. The fact that she had this motfey was kept a sfecret from her son Jasper, for as soon as he learned that she had any money he would make his appearance and demand it, and she would turn it over. She had' lawsuits that went against her, and thq. $1,100 was about to be taken from her. She wanted to leave, and determined to go in such a manner as would not attract attention. She said a son in Nebraska was very ill, and she was going to him, and woul ?. return. She got her money, rented her house, stored her household goods and prepared to "jump the town. s. Nearly at the last moment she thought of getting ber goods insured, and instructed an agent to draw a policy for $200. It seems that she forgot the policy until ie reached the depot, and sent a man the insurance office after it. Her trunk was checked, and when the policy was given her she thrust it into her bosom. Mrs. Nelson was not a vigorouswoman. She was nearly blind, brought on by the kind of life she led. She was feeble, with one fcot in the grave, and the other was kicking the clods, making a desperate effort to fol.low. When she boarded the train, and looked for the last time on Anderson, if the girls, men and women she had ruined had known it to be the last time her withering eye-sight would look upon the 'town she had cursed, the brass band of Anderson would have a job of serenading. Before she left she tohl a woman she was going to visit her son- Jasper, who was at Brazil, Ind., sick. She was last seen hy an Anderson citizen on tho train at Forlville, a station between Anderson and Indianapolis. That she stopped at Brazil is questionable. A letter had been found among the effects she left behind from her son Jasper, dated at Brazil, but it make no mention of his desiring her to visit him. To get a plausible theory as to what brought her to .Terre Hante, the reporter visited- the home of Mr. Frederick Bronnenberg, Mrs. Nelson's brother. The reporter was told that Frederick

Bronnenberg is a queer man. He is rich, but will bet on anything, from a horse race to a bull fight. It is said ha has bet once too often in the bucket shops. The reporter found him to be a straight forward man. His wife is & fine-looking old lady, and lias a habit of expressing her opinions in strong words. Mr. Bronnenberg said he did not believe Jasper Nelson killed his mother.. "I'll tell you who killed her," said he. "It was nobody but that G—d preacher. H6 is the one that did it. Look at him now, riding around in his carriage, wearing a fine suit ol clothes, in the company of sporting women. D—n it, before Susanna was killed he didn't have a second shirt to his back. After Mr. Bronnenberg got through with his talk against the preacher, he went on to tell why Susanna, as he called her, stopped at Terre Haute. They are all Spiritualists, and believe that ghosts walk on earth from cabinets. He had often come to Terre Haute to see Mrs. Stewart when she flourished here in all her glorv. His brothers had come, his wife had come, and Mrs. Nelson had been here. His wife stated that Bhj knew that Mrs. Nelson had been toihe sceances here. "Now, that is just what caused her to get off at Terre Haute," said Mrs. Bronnenbergv "She said she had seen lier husband there, and if she ever passed through Terre Haute again she intended to stop." This looked verv plausible to the reporter, as Mrs. Nelson undoubtedly intended to shake the dust of the eastern portion of the Mississippi valley from her feet forever, and what could* le more likely than for her to stop and see her husband and learn what chance there was for her on the other Bide.

After talking with Mr. and Mrs. Bronnenberg, the reporter learned from others that Mrs. Nelson was very fond of showing her money to strangers. The day she left she drew her roll of money from her pocket to pay the drayman for hauling her trunk. When she'arrived here it would be perfectly natural for her to show lier roll again and impress people that she was able to pay her way. She undoubtedly pulled it once too often for the good of her health, as a .lot of old bones and rags, burieo in a pine coffin, will testify. Mrs.

may be abl» to do it, but it will be a hard matter to prove. A sensible view will lead one to believe that it was not her son, for his mother was the "goose" that laid the golden egg for him. If reputable citizens are to be believed, Jasper could get anything he desired from his mother that she had to give. She has been known to

him her last dollar, and then reouble her energy in her nefarious work to make more money for him. Shortly before ahe left Anderson (a month or six weeks) she gave him

The reporter learned that there was a girl in Anderson who was a "mash" of Jasper's, who could, if she would, throw some light upon the subject of his whereabouts. Sue was called upon but would furnish no information. "I'm no sucker go soak your head," and she got up and flirted out of the room, leaving the reporter to follow her. "You follow me any further and your head will get cracked," said she. The reporter assured her that it wouldn't, and informed her that he would go where she went till she told what she knew. "Jasper is not with his wife, I'll tell .you that much."- She grew calm, talked in a sensible manner, owned up that she hadn't heard from him since his mother left, and said she had another "sucker" in town with more money than Jasper had.

The reporter returned to the city esterday and called on Dr. Pence. Je stated that he knew the Bronnenberg brothers. They had all been to the seances. They were honorable men, and strong spiritualists. He did not know Mrs. Nelson. "If she was ever here she came tn cog." said the doctor.

As far as unraveling the mystery is concerned, it's deeper than ever. All that is known is that she was murdered, and undoubtedly murdered for her money. There could be no other cause.

Bayless and Vandever left Terre Haute yesterday morning for Anderson t» further investigate the case.

Last night the Express received the following special from Anderson: ANDERSON, November 10.—There are no new developments which I am at liberty to state now, but within fortyeight hours I will send you all tho particulars, with the name of the guilty man, etc.

ne was "the joy of her life," "the prop of her declining yeare." For him she "worked," schemed and sinned. She supplied his wants whenever he called on her. Why then would he kill her when he couldget every dollar she had hy asking for it

A citizen of Anderson advanced a plausible theory to the reporter. Mrs. Nelson said she intended to leave Anderson. She said she was afraid some one .uld burn ~her out. She said she intended to go where she could carry on her business and not be molested. She probably selected this tity, where she knew that many houses had flourished for years and bad become a land mark. She may have come liere with that intention, and fell among thieves.

THRKE HAUTE, Nov. 10, I»»3.

Our class had gone to the nail works with our chemistry teacher, and after going through the workBhtbe rest of the class, with the teacher, decided to go to the blast furnace, but we being very tired thought it best to return home. As nearly as we remember we were three squares from the nail works on the railroad when we passed a policeman. We were talking together about our school work. We observed that he was trying to walk with us. He then came near us and said "Where do you belong?" We did not answer him. He repeated this question again and again. We then told him, "We are Normal students and have been to the nail works with our teacher. He with the rest of the.class have gone to the blast furnace we are going home." He then asked "Whatare your names?" We did not answer this question, but told him he had no right to molest us in this way. He then gave us to understand that we were his prisoners until we identified ourselves. He said, "I'll know who you are. You are sporting women, are you not?" We were greatly frightened "at this |remark, and being nearer the nail works than the city, we decided to go back there for protection. We went back as fast as we could go, the policeman following us. We had not gone far when we met a man and a woman coming toward the city. We askeir them to protect us. The policeman said, "You need not ask them they do not know you." They did not offer any protection, and seemed disposed to let the matter alone. The policeman then insisted upon our going to the furnace to meet our friends, but we felt safer with the strange people, and decided to keep in their company, as far ss they went, which was to Tenth Btreet We here insisted upon the truth of our statement to him and asked him to leave us. He answered, "You have lied to me." Feeling perfectly helpless in his hands, ye made our way toward the normal building as fast as we could, that' being the nearest place where we would find friends. After we had walked some distance together—the man and woman had followed behind,—he said, "1 would call a patrol wagon if there w?s one in sight. It is too bad to have such nice looking ladies as you walk. You have lovers out at the nail works, have you?" We made no answer to these remarks. He taunted us every now and then by saying, "You are normal students, are you That is all right. I am going to take you to the normal building to be identified." Other than these remarks at several different times nothing was said until we reached Main street, at which place we pleaded with him to take the opposite side of the street, but he refused, but said he would walk behind us but before we had gone half a square he was at our side. We kept on the south side of Main street until we reached Seventh street, when we crossed to the north side, and then to our great relief we met President Brown.

The above is signed by two members ofthe senior class at the normal school two bright, spirited young ladies. An Express reportertalkad with President Brown. He said that when be came upon the young ladies the policeman was at their side, and the students, seeing him, began crying.

WHO'S BUSSING THIS

Mr. Joseph Blake Makes His Ap* pearance in the Agricul* tural Society.

He Anaonnces That He Proposes to Run the Concent.

At a few minutes of 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon Mr. Joe Blake mounted the platform at the mayor's desk in the council chamber and said "the meeting will come to order." There were ten or twelve gentlemen scattered about the chamber, but with one or two exceptions they did not pay much attention to the announcement made by Mr. Blake.

The gentlemen present were stockholders of tho Vigo Agricultural society, and the day and hour were the ones set for the annual meeting. Mr. W. P. Beachamp, president of ttie

•M

It said Mr. Blake held enough

Eave

roxies to carry any point he may had in view. For some time he has been trying to get control of the fair grounds. They are now leased to the Vigo Agricultural Association, the lease running until 1886. Mr. Blake has proposed to the Association that if a sub lease to himself were made he would pay the indebtedness, upwards of $2,000 now hanging over the association, and let the association have the grounds one week in the year to conduct a fair. Hia scheme is to make a resort, of the grounds. He had a charter from the county to build street car track from the city limits to the grounds, hut this, it is said, expired in August last. The question now is whether, since he has got into the board of directors, he will be able to make the point wiiich he has failed to make heretofore. Tho meeting,-two weeks from yesterdav, will be held at his oflice. Officers will then probably be elected by a meeting of the directors.

sociation, was talking with several stockholders when Mr. Blake rapped for order, but beyond looking at that gentleman rather curiously, did not heel the unusual proceeding. After a few moments Mr. Blake addressed Mr. Beauchamp, asking him if he intended calling the meetirg to order. "I am in no hurry" said the president. "Well, I want the meeting called to order. I am going to run this meeting," emphatically remarked Mr. Blake. "I don't intend you shall" retorted the president of the Vigo agricultural association. "You will see," replied Mr. Blake

Presently Mr. Beauchamp mounted the platform and Mr. Blake stepped to one side as the former rapped for order. It was plain to be seen that there was what is sometimes denominated "a ruction" in the Vigo agricultural society.

It was announced that Mr. Egbert Curtis, the secretary of the society was confined to his house by sickness that he had been sick since the fair and that consequently his report was not ready to be submitted in due form. Some of the directors, however, read from his books what they thought would be sufficient information for the time being. The books showed receipts this-year of $5,207.83 and expenses $5,119.66, with $87.17 remaining in the treasury to meet $2,012.83 indebtedness. A discussion arose as to the advisability of adjourning for two weeks to allow the secretary's report to be made up in a complete manner. This proposition finally carried. Then came the election of six directors to take the places of the six who retire this year. There are twelve directors in all and every year six are elected for two years. The six elected yesterday are Messrs. J. H. Blake, W. E. McLean, B. F. Rogers, J. M. Sankey, G. A. Schaal and A. B. P6gg. Mr. Joseph Gilbert was elected, but declined to serve. Mr. Schaal was chosen to fill the vacancy. Of these six only one is a re-election, Mr.JB. F. Rogers. The five who retired are Messrs. Samuel McKeen, Phillips, Wallace, Cusick and Beauchamp. The six who hold over are Messrs. IT. R. Jeflfcrs, J. M. Bolton, Juh~ —or, Aaron Moon, Reuben Butz," and Egbert Curtis. There were twentyfour votes cast in the voting for directors and about a dozen gentlemen were present.

Deer in Collision.^' "1

Galveston News.

Mr. John Warren is the oldest settler in Hockley, and is probably one of the most successful deer hunters in the state. A few days ago he met with success unprecedented throughout all his hunting experience. Through that strategic maneuvering known only to the experienced trapper, Mr. Warren came within rifleshot of an unsuspecting buck browsing upon the prairie, and fired upon him. About 150 yards further on was another deer, feeding around as unconcerned as his companion. At the crack of the huntsmans trusty rifle both deer started ofi full Bpeed, running directly toward each other. In closing the distance between them and about midway, the two deer collided with terrible force, one of them springing about twenty feet in air, and both falling to the ground dead—killed by the collision. On exploring the bodies, Mr. Warren found that he had but slightly wounded the buck at which he had shot, and that the death of each had been caused by the force with which the animals had come together.

Origin of the Reclining ChairP The St. James Gazette says that Mr. Henry Havard, in his recently pullished work "L'Art dans le Salon," attributes the invention of the reclining chair to a curious piece of etiquette scrupulously observed in France during the period of the old French Monarchy. Whenever the king honored with a visit an invalid whose illness was of such a character as to. force him to keep his bed, a second bed was invariably placed in the room close to the sufferer's couch. His majesty reclined on the spare bed, and lay in a recumbent posture during the entire time occupiod by the visit. When Louis XIII. visitohCardinal Richelieu during- his illne®, this cumbrous etiquette was rigidly adhered to, as it was likewise when Louis XIV. went to see

Marshal Villars after he received his wound. The second bed, by successive modifications, became eventually the modern reclining chair.

A number of young men living in Shakopev^Minn- reading of the downfall of the original Jesse Jkmes gang, determined that the era of bandits in Hiia country should not be a thing of the pas^and forthwith resolved themselves into bandits of the most ultra kind. They armed themselves with pistols and knives, each stole .alL he could from his parents, and thsiwrl^pnired to a convenient cave in, the rounding mountains, from which tl diiily sallied forth fin depredato tours until the town mthorraesfinally ptared -tii cm all.
