15.—The
city
of Terre Haute is much disturbed by the attempted murder of Mrs. Joseph Montgomery. The would-be assassin is supposed to be Isaac Bridges, a disappointed suitor for the hand of Miss Daisy Davis, the beautiful sister of the injured lady. Bridges has frequently importuned Miss Daisy to marry him, but she declined his addresses.
Mrs. Montgomery, Miss Davis and Miss Maggie Gibson attended a theatrical entertainment, aud while returning home, and within a few steps of their residence, Bridges stepped from a place of concealment, saying to Mrs. Montgomery that he wanted to talk with her. Mrs. Montgomery refused to listen to him, and when she attempted to pass him, Bridges grabbed iter and tore rhe bonnet oil" her head. The woman then started to run, .screaming for help, and Bridges leveled his revolver and fired four shots, two bullets entering the fleshy part of Ivlr.s. Montgomery's back, just below the shoulder blade. One of the bullets is supposed to have penetrated her lungs. After firing the shots, Bridges rau away.
The family report that Bridges has been annoying Miss Davis for some weeks, frequently writing notes to her aud approaching her on the street, soliciting an interview. Se.ve,ral times she his been compelled to run iu order to avoid him. He then frequently threatened to kill the girl, as well as the Montgomery family, whom he acctiscd of interfering with his suit. Several weeks ago poison was dropped into the flour barrel, which had been left open in the summer kitchen, and the whole family was dangerously prostrated by easting of bread made of the doctored stuff. Mr. Davis, father of the girl, has not yet recovered. Mrs. Montgomery is the wifo of Joseph Montgomery. DEATH OF

Pi ifNCKTON, Ind., Dec. 15.—Frank jLeottard, residing near Hammond, has undertaken the development of the li.m?ler interests of what is known as fche cypress swamp, located west of Decker's station, IU miles north of here. It is a body of government land, laying I between the White aud Wabash rivers, and comprises about 1,800 acres of weiltimbored laud, not a stick of which has ever been cut. Mr. Leonard a few months ago purchased all the staildiug timber, which consists of red oak, ash, gum sycamore and, other valuable kinds.
A
spur from the Evansville and Terre fiaute railroad has been built from Deckers, six miles out into the swamp. Mr. Leonard is now putting in one of the finest saw mills in southern Indiana, with an equal capacity in the output ot' lumber, to any mill in the state. Jt will, take along time for the mill to

JEWETT'S APPOINTMENT CANCELED
The United States Will Take No l»art in the Arinraian Investigation. WASHINGTON,
Dec. 15.—The United
States will take no part the investigation in the Armenian outrages. Finding that the limitations imposed by President Cleveland upon the functions of United States Consul Jeweti were such as to prevent his joint action with tue representatives of the other powers, the sultan has withdrawn his invitation to the United States to appoint a commissioner, and consequently Mi*. Jewett's appointment lapses.
In deference to the religious sentiment of the country, as voiced by an incredible number of petitions aud resolutions of mass meetings and private communications from respectable citizens, the president decided to allow Mr. Jewett to investigate and report upon the actual state of the Chri M.ans in Armenia, but in doing so he /elt obliged, in order to make it plain to the powers of Europe, that he had no intention of intruding upon their domaifl, to await a request from the sultan, backed by ope of the signatory powers.
As an extra precaution against involving the United States in any
European disagreements tiiat might loflow the investigation, Mr. Jewett was instructed to make au independent inquiry aud report only to the state department. These last instructions were apparently unpalatable to the porte, and so, by the withdrawal of its invitation, Mr. Jewett's appointment is canceled.
HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
The Pensiou Appropriation Bill Passed aud Other lV-iisioii Matters Considered.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.—The time of the house was consumed with debate on the pension appropriation bill, and although it abounded in charges and countercharges, it lacked interesting details. The bill carries .$141,881,570, and was passed without amendment.
The iiiu'c resolution of inquiry calling on the secretary of state for the correspondence relating to the payment of $425,000 to the bill in connection with the fur seal controversy, was adopted.
The evening session was devoted to the consideration of private pension bills and the house adjourned over until Monday.
The senate was not in session.
Contractors Arrested.
CLEVELAND, Dec. 15.—Some sensational testimony was brought out yesterday at the investigation into the frauds practiced by contractors in the erection of new school house buildings. Several bricklayers, who worked on a number of the buildings while'under the course of construction, testified that they had been instructed by contractors to build hollow walls and fill them iu with all sorts of rubbish. Late in the afternoon the school authorities, fearing that the contractors implicated in the fraudulent work would leave the city, swore out warrants for the arrest of certain contractors, and officers were started out to take them into custody.
Pilvate Mail i'ouch Stolen.

BOWEN KNOCKED OUT.
Result, of an Mi rhtei*n Round X'rize Fight at New Orleans.
KKW OKLKANS, Dec. 15.—George Lavigne and Andy Bowen fought last night in the Arditorium club in the presence of about 4,000 peoplo. The purse was §.'5,000, divided $i,500 to the winner and £500 to the loser. Joliu Daffy was chosen referee. He announced before the fight that a decision would be given at the end of the 2otli round—iu other words the contest would not be declared a draw.
Both men were over weight, Bowen weighing 18ii and Lavigne 135. The weight agreed upon was liiO pounds.
In the fix*st round Lavigne slipped to the lloor twice. Up to the third round he was the aggressor aud had the better of the lighting, though Bowen lauded some stiff body blows. In the fourth round Lavigne had all the best of the fight, landing several heavy righthanders on Bowen's face, staggering the home man as the gong sounded.
The lifth and sixth rounds were also in Lavigue's favor, though little or no effective work was done.
In the seventh round Bowen wit's cut over the eye. Lavigne looKed every incli a winner
The eighth and ninth rounds were both Lavigne s. Bowen was clearly outclassed.
At the end of the ninth round Bowen had bellows to mend while Lavigne was uuscratched and seemingly as fresh as when he began.
In the tenth and eleventh rounds, Lavigne had much the best of the fight, Bowen being knocked all over the ring.
In twelfth and thirteenth round it was the same old story, Lavigne did all the foi'cing.
Iu the fifteenth round Bowen was nearly downed by a heavy right-hander on the jaw and would have been floored had not the gong saved him..
In the seventeenth round Bowen was knocked and fell down. Ho received terrible punishment, though he took.it gamely.
In the lKth round Lavigne feinted with his right, and as Bowen ducked his elbow he caught Bowen's chin. As Bowen straightened up Lavigue's right caught him on the point of the jaw and Bowen fell back, his head striking the platform with full force. He was picked up uncounscious. Efforts to revive him proved fruitless and at midnight ho was taken to the Mercy hospital. Here he lay until 5 o'clock this morning before he recovex'ed consciousness.
Lavigne aud his party were arrested and held to await the result of Bowen's injuries.

Captian Creedon's confession was the biggest sensation yet brought forth by the Lexow committee, in itself, the captain's statement was merely a confirmation of testimony elicited before the senators heretofore, but the startling facts, essentially interwoven with this sensational exposures, affects the taint of dishonor and corruption upon men who held some of the most responsible offices in the gift of the community.
But public censure is not- heaped on Creedon's head. He had served in tne local police department for 30 years with honor and distinction. He is a war-scarred veteran, whose record shows that in 23 engagements of the civil .war he risked his life for his country. The captain's fault is forgotten by the popular mind in sympathy for his present trying position and respect for his past record.
