DOMESTIC UNHAPPINESB.

William Mattox Tried in Court on the Charge of Not Supporting His Wife.

William Mattox, a helper at the Wabash mills, was tried in the Circuit court yesterday on a grand jury indictment for not supporting his wife. Mis. Maitox's maiden name was Hettie Hughes."* She is a brunette with a few freckles scattered around her nose, not by any means marring her good looks. She married Mattox last July. They lived as man and wife till September, when they had a fall ing/ut. Mattox refused to live with her, and she had him arrested and "s6Htn?r"TBirmrB'i him, as stated, and they are fighting it out in court. Her relatives were present, as also were the friends of the defendant, and a good crowd of court house loungers, who are always around when a caBe of this kind is on trial. Mrs. Mattox tes-' tified that her .husband, while living with her, pawned his coat for beer, and spent all i}is money for drink, not giving her a cent for her support, and making no provisions for her whatever while they lived together, or since he deserted her. She said 6he went to the house where her husband was stopping one evefting and pleaded with him to do something for her. He put her out of the house at 12 o'clock at night, and told her if she flid not. go lie wouid kick her out.

When she married him he was working for her father as helper in the mill, and was boarding at their house. She said he would come home at all hours of the night drunk. lie pawned his coat for whisky, and she gave him monev to get it out of pawn. He never gave her one cent, although he was making two dollars per day. She asked him for money one day, and he replied that the price of beer was too high. On cross-examination she became hysterical. She was removed to the "salvation" room until composed.

Her father was then put on the stand. He testified that Mattox never provided anything for her support, and that.he drank his earnings.

Mrs. Mattox was recalled and testified that she would soon become a mother.

John Filer testified, for the defense, that Mrs. Mattox said in his presence that she had put him in jail to getjeven with him, and that she didn't want to live with him. Mrs. Filer testified to hearing Mrs. Mattox make the same statement. On cross-examination she said that she had been married twice, both times to the same man, having been divorced from him. The crossexamination developed that the witness once lived in a house of bad character. This seemed to anger the witness, and sho declared in aloud voice that she was employed there as a domestic.

Ex-Turnkey Pritchard was called to the stand. He heard Mrs. Mattox tell

with him again. He was in jail at the time, and she called there to see him. She brought several letters with her which she claimed were from an old sweetheart of Mattox's in Cincinnati to whom he had written after he was married to her.

Mattox was put on the stand to testify in his own defense. He said he did not make enough to support his wife that she knew it when she married him. He had never given her any money since they had been married because he did not have it to give her. All over his board he spent for clothes. He denied ever pawning his clothes for whisky.

The case will probably be decided by the court, to-day.

A BAD BOY.

De Confesses to the Judge that He ii a Thief.

Yesterday noon Officer McKenna arrested Charles Crim on the charge of stealing lead pipe form the yard of the Terre Haute Gas company. Crim was brought into court yesterday. "Are you guilty?" asked Judge Scott. "Yes, sir," answered Crim. "How old are you "Eighteen."

He said he had never been sentenced before for stealing, but had been guilty of the act. His father, a well-digger, did not know where he was, or that he had been arrested. The boy stood before the judge and made hisconfession in a bold voice. The judge took into consideration his age, and ordered him returned to jail until his father could be informed. It is possible that his sentence will be moderated to a term in the county jail on account of his youth.

The police claim that Crim belongs to a gang of young thieves in the north part of the city. They confine them selves to breaking open freight cars, stealing old iron and brass. They are

FAREWELL!

Beception Tendered to the Rev. and Mrs. Parry at the Presbyterian Church Last

Night.

Last night at the Central Presbyterian church a farewell reception was tendered to the Rev. Thomas Parry, who has accepted a call to the pastorate of the Jefferson Park church in the city of Chicago. The attendance was large, including not only the members of the church, but a number of ministers from other denominations and many other friends of Mr. Parry. After an hour spent in general conversation. Dr. Mitchell called the assembly, to order, and Prof. Byers, of the committee yn reception, offered the following, which was adopted:

A little more than three and a half years ago the Rev. Thomas Parry peached his first sermon to the Central Presbyterian church, assembled for almost the last time In the Ohio street, bouse. The two churches had formerly united some months before, and were feellnjr their way toward a union In spirit, as weli as In letter. It was the desire of all to obtain the services of an able, energetic man as pastor. As we listened to the vigorous utter1 ances of this flaxen-haired Btranger, the sentiment grew stronger and stronger, "This Is our man." A,nd, through the months and years which had Intervened, he has labored Indefatlgably forth© welfare of the church.

Sanguine and always hopeful he has Inspired others to renewed efforts, whilst his able sermons have shown that his Is talent of no minor order. He has decided to leave us for a new field of labor—and while we regret th# sundering of the ties whlct have united us, we acknowledge his right to do the best for himself and family and bid Ira God-speed with all good wishes for his future welfare.

To the excellent woman "whose prudence and fidelity have been a constant AVAII of strength to her husband, how Wiall we say good-bye? Her sweet spirit and unfailing tact have won for her the admiration and love of this people. If the wishes of her Terre Haute friends could'realize themselves, her life would be one of unalloyed happiness. It Is pleasant to remember that, fn this age of easy and rapid travel, such partings as this need not be final, and when we say farewell to Mr. and Mrs. Parry, we will hope to often see them amongst up as wsloome guests. jja

Mr. Parry's remarks were delivered with much feeling, and at times it was difficult for him to proceed. Dr. Mitchell then called upon Revs. Stewart, of Brazil, Rummer,Skinner,

Parry, on being called to re

spond, made a short and feeling address, in which he said the members and congregation of the Central Presbyterian church knew his feelings toward them. That for three years they had been working together for a common purpose in the vineyard of the Lord, and as he looked back to his life in Terre Haute, he could see many changes, and especially in that church When he came here the church was divided, but he left it a united and harmonious body of Christians, all striving to attain the same great end, the bringing of souls to Christ. That the unity and Christian fellowship now existing in the church was not due to him in particular, but to the members, who had come together a true Christian spirit, and

in labored in season and out of Beason to build ujp a church where discord and ill feeling should not be known. He looked to the future of the church with much pleasure, and should go to his new charge fully confident that what has been done is only a beginning of what can be accomplished. ile believed it would be a Blessing to the church that he was going away. That the congregation must not depend on this man or that man, but on God alone, and the church would prosper. That during his pastorate here he has had much sweet fellowship with the members and officers of the church-

Their relations had always been of the moBt. pleasant character, and wherever in the future it may please God to cast his lot, this church and its people would always have his earnest prayers. He parted from them-witL regret., but, as duty to the cause of Christ, and to himself, compelled him to sever relations that have ever been pleasant., and called him to another and wider field of Christian labor, all that was left for him to do was to say farewell and God bless you.

The Bev. Thomas Parry is followed to his new charge by the good will of his large congregation and a very large number of the citizens of this city. He is a man of broad christian ideas, who has not closeted himself within the walls of his owh church, but has circulated among the people of other denominations and those who are not connected with any church. He is probably better known by the people in general than any other cler gyman in the city, and every acquain tance is his friend. As a preacher he is forcible, logical a^d eloquent, and it will be a surprise if in a few years he Will not be known as among the foremost pulpit orators of the country. His many friends in and out of the church in this city, while sincerely regreting his departure, bid him a hearty God speed, and. wish him a successful and happy career, in whatever field his lot may be cast.

have at last reached "home." That event took place on November 19th, near the close of day. The party waB received rather numerously, at least two hundred people coming out to meet and welcome us. It was all very kind and such a greeting put me at ease and at home at once, so that I felt as though I had lived here for years, In reality, however, I have scarcely been out of the house and know posi tively nothing of the city. On account of exposure on the last part of the journey (I gave my rubber coat to Miss Holliday and got veiy wet myself) was seized with -sciatic rheumatism in my'right leg and am just,now getting over it. That was on the 6th of November, the day we reached Fabriz.

We stayed there one week, and feeling some better I undertook the jour jier jierp. It.vas fi,ve .days on horseback? You may Imagine what I had to undergo on that trip I will not attempt to describe it. Since" reaching here I have been under the doctor's care and I hope to be all right very soon. In consequence of this trouble I have not commenced the study of the language—Syriac. After I get that, or get a good start in it, I will take up the Turkish also. You see am about to become a great linguist. In addition to my superintending the printing, I will have the treasury of the mission. And the money we use here—great Cassar! It is very largely Russian silver, and of small denominations. Imagine yourself paying the Expresfcforce with pieces of money the largest of which area little larger than a dime, and worth about that much while a great part of it is smaller, and worth seven and a half and five cents. A hundred dollars will fill a peck measure, and one must have a man with a pack saddle on his back to carry $500. A piece of gold is a

indeed—a sight wonderful to behold an oasis, &c., a kohinor among diamonds. Paper money, there is none. You see whatafate is before me, counting this "dross." Last night I received about fifty dollars of the stufi', and I must say I never had so much money in my lite! If life was not so short I would count the pieces, but I can't un dertake it.

I enjoyed the journey very much indeed. We took such a northerly course through Europe that I was able to see little that was historical. I regretted this, but could not help it. This is our route. From New York to Liverpool, London, Harwich, Rotterdam, Berlin, Odessa, Batoum, Tiilis, Julfa, (on Aras river between Russia and Persia), Tabriz, Oroomiah. From Julfa on, the traveling was on horseback. From iEhstafia Bixty miles east of Tiflis where we left the railroad, to Julfa by carriage. You may be sure I saw all I could.

Just awhile ago with others of the gentlemen I received a call from the governor of this city and province. He is of the royal blood and seems quite unassuming. As he spoke in Turkish I of course could understand nothing except as it was translated for me. The conversation was about Falcon hunting, horses, wars, rumors of wars, etc. Several cupa of "chi-"tea were drank during the seance and the prince

Some nnkind notices refuse any credit to Mr. Elliott Barnes' latest effort, but the posters on the bill-boards were really yice. The play on the stage iB remarkable for its artless simplicity. It does not pretend to be anything and it isn't. The company deserves much credit for its industrious and earnest efforts to make the affair amusing and sympathy in tliat the au dience would dribble out at the end of each act, but there is a limit to the pa tience of a long-suffering community.

An Old Lady Seized With S«T«re Pains Which Grew More Sever at Intervals.

Yesterday afternoon au old lady fell down on south First Btreet, below the rectifying house, and began rolling over and over on the sidewalk. Her groans were heartrendering. A philanthropic gentleman stopped and asked her what the matter was, and was informed that she had thecholic, a disease she was subject to at frequent intervals, and when it came on "nuthin' on earth would stop it but whisky." She began to groan louder, double herself up, and kick in a lively manner. 'Madam, is there any thing I can do for you," asked the gentleman. •'Give me whisky give me whisky!" she moaned. "By this time quite a crowd had collected. The old lady was assisted to her feet, but sat down again, declaring that she couldn't go a step further. "Let her sit there," said a boy, who stood by with a grin on his face.

There comes a policeman, and he'll see that she gets whisky" "Are the police comin', said the old lady, as she got up and walked ofl without assistance.

Tho sympathizers looked at each other. The stillness was oppressive. Presently the philanthropic gentleman sneaked off, and the spot was soon deserted.

The Owl Club Reception. The Owl club, which stands high in social favor, is compoeed of a number of young gentlemen who understand the secret of getting up very delightful and successful dancing receptions. The club gave itB fourth reception for thiB season at Dowling hall last night, which in point of attendance, music order of dancing and enjoyment was a success. It was known as a leap year calico reception although the ladies did not adhere as a general thing to dresses of the materi al designed. During the first half of the dancing programme the ladies en gaged the gentlemen for the dances, which plan was very satisfactory to the gentlemen who were asked to dance, but several of the boys who were left as wall flowers did not approve of the leap vear plan of eon ducting dances. lThe dancing programme was well arranged and the music by the Ringgold orchestra was excellent. The Owl club receptions are conducted under the supervision of the following committees:
