FAURBACH'S DEADLY AIM

Shoots His Mistress in the Temple and Then Turns the Weapon Upon Himself. Hyiteries Surrounding the Ca!, Involving a Woman's Unfa thfalnesa Much Depends Upon the Weight of the Ball Removed.A few minnte9 before 6 o'clock yesterday morning liessie I'itttuan, known as Bessie Bell, keeper of an evil resort at 172 West Market street, was shot in the side of the head and will probably die. The only witness who is known to have been present at the time of the shooting is dead and the facts attending tbe tragedy can only bo conjectured. The man was Philip Fahrbach, a single man twenty-four years of age, bartender at the Hotel English barroom. Ir'or about two years past he has been the paramour of the woman shot, and latterly baa stayed at her house, on West Market street, at times every night during the week and sometimes less frequently. Shortly before 6 o'clock yesterday morning he came to tbe house and went directly to thw iide door leading into Bessie Pittman'a ''cm, and was admitted. In a very ew minutes after he entered the inmates of the house heard two shots fi red in. quick succession, and wben they entered the room Fahrbach lay dead, with a bullet hole in the region of bis left eye. Tbere was a pool of blood upon the floor about his head. Bessie Pittman stood on the other side of the room, and blood was streaming from a bullet hole in her right cheek, just below the temple. The ball ranged upwards, inflicting a wound which will in all probability prove fatal. Tbe lirst person upon the scene after the shooting occurred was Dora Bartiett, an inmate of the house, who occupied the room adjoining that of the Pittman woman. She said that she retired about midnight the night before, and did not know wbat time Fahrbach came to the house. Being aocustomed to his coming in late, it did not disturb her. She heard two shots tired in the adjoining room shortly before C o'clock, but did not at tbe time know the sound she heard was plait I shots. She said the sound was mutlied. aLTl she thought it was the cook breaking coil in tbe kitchen. Following tbe shots, bowever, she beard tbe Pittman woman scream, and she rushed into the room and saw both her and Fahrbach lying upon the iloor. As the Bartiett girl entered tbe room the other cried out, "Phil bas killed me and himself, too!" Going to her side, Miss Bartiett raised her head in her hands when the latter said. "Do something for Phil. Let me alone.7' At this she left the wounded girl and went to where Fahrbach lay upon the lloor. He was lying perfectly still, but was not yet dead, and as she bent over him and spoke to him his lips moved as if in an effort to speak, but no sound was uttered, and in a few seconds he was dead. HER MOTHER SUMMONED. When the girls of tho house realized folly what had taken place they hurried to the house of Mattie Bell, mother ot the injured 'girl, on the south side of Market street, a few doors west of tho house in which the shooting was done. Flora Winkels and Jennie Bell, a lister, notitied the mother of the injury to her daughter and sent for a physician. When the mother came she rushed to the iide of her daughter, who was calling piteously for "Phil," seemingly unconscious of tbe injury to herself. She told her mother not to worry about her. and then broke out, "Oh. my God! is ho dead mother! Don't tell me that he is dead." The bouse soon tilled with a crowd of curious spectators, and in a few minutes Dr. Earp arrived and. examining tbe wound, said the ball could not be probed for on account of Us 'dangerous location. The ball, in itscourso. had shattered tbe optio nerve and ruined the sight of the right eye. Itscourso was upward, but tbe location of, the ball could not be ascertained. The coroner was notilied and hurried to tbe scene, but could get but little information from the inmates, who seemed reluotant about talking of the matter. It was decided to have them regularly subpoenaed to appear before him. Planner & Buchanan were notitied, and removed the body of Fahrbach to their morgno, on North Illinois street. There is considerable mystery surrounding the whole all air, and 'some phases which seem to call for investigation. The injured woman told Coroner Beck that she let Fahrbach into her room through tho side door, between 5 and 6 o'clock, and asked him as he entered where be had been all night. to which he replied: "That's none of your business, but 1 know wbat you have been doing." She said she had been doing nothing wrong, and Fahrbach stepped to the dresser on tbe opposite side of the room and. picking up a revolver belonging to her. tired at her And then turned the revolver toward his own bead. She begged him not to shoot himself, but he tired and fell to the lloor. Tl'.AIL OF EI.OOD. The inmates of the house all declare there were but two shots fired, but a man who slept in a house across the street says he heard, very distinctly, four reports. After tho excitement attending the shooting bad somewhat subsided, trail of blood was noticed leading from Bessie's door south through the alley besido the house to Court street, where it Stopped. Tho inmates of the house and other persons who were among the lirst upon the scene, although questioned closely as to this trail of blood, could give no explanation. It is thought that it may have been made by some unknown person who was in tbe room wben Fahrbach came and whose presence caused the shooting. Some force is given to this theory from the fact th:it the inmates of the bonse heard but two shots, while tbe man across the street heard four, and also from the size of the ball taken from the dead man's head. The ball is scarred and battered to such an extent that it is impossible to tell, with any aegree of certainty, what its caliber was. The revolver with which Fahrbach did tbe shooting was a thirty-two-caliber. A theory that has been advanced is that another man was in the room, and, wben Fahrbach saw the inlidelity of Bessie, ho shot both her nud the intruding lover, who returned tho tire and shot Fahrbach. If this be trne, he was very close to the dead man wben the shot was tired, as his face is badly powder-burned. The inmates say tr t nobody but Fahrbach ever called . upon Bessie, but persons living in the vicinity say that a strange man. supposed to be an Ohio riverman, Jias been calling rerentlr. Yesterday afternoon Dora Bartiett and Flora Boyles Win.tels testified before the coroner. Considerable ditliculty was ex-, perienced in obtaining a statement from the former. She wa kept upon the stand fcr several hours, and told very conllictingstories about tho state of atiairs existing between Bessie and Fahrbach prior to the shooting. HAD RECOKD WITH REVOLVERS. It is said that during the month of October last Bessie shot at Fahrbach while ho was lying on the bed. but the ball passed over his head. The Bartiett girl was questioned as to the truth of this statement, and at first stoutly denied all knowledge of it. She said if such a thing bad happened, she would undoubtedly hare heard of it. and she never did. Afterwards she aid that abont two weeks before Christmas Bessio and Fahrbach came into her room, and that Bessie slipped a revolver under her pillow, naying that "Phil" had tried to kill her. and he at the same time aid she ;Besie) bad tried to kill him. She also testified to numerous quarrels between them, one of which eh said took place in lions' saloon on West Washington street, and that during this quarrel Fahrbach, had choked Benaie and she had bitten the end of one of his tinzersotf. In her testimony she alto said that Bessie had at. one time shot at a girl

named Millie Dehart, an inmate of the

uuubd, jut ueiug intimate wnu r auiuacu. Flora YVinkel. Known as Hoyles. tevti tied before the coroner that she bad been an inmate of the house for about A week, and that she bad heard the Bartiett girl speak of a time, abont tbe 9th or 10th of October last, when Bessie bad shot at Fahrbach whiln be was lying on the bed, but the ball had passed over his head. TWO IlUf.LEr HOLES FOUND. Last night Captain Qnigley and Sergeant Laporte visited the house, and by a thorough examination of the room found two bullet holes, one in the wall and one in the celling. The one in the ceiling is said to have been recently made, but as to the other it was impossible to tell anything as to Usage. The presence of the two bullet-holes shows conclusively that none of the inmates heard all of the shooting, as they all say they heard but two shots tired. In regard to the trail of blood leading from the side gate to Court street." the police are now of the opinion that this was made by a man who was staying at the house during tbe night, and who supported Bessie until assistance arrived, when he went to Cones's overall factory, on North Mississippi street, to reach a telephone. The theory of the police is that the man got blood upon his clothes and shoes whilo supporting Bessie, which marked tbe snow. Coroner Beck last night compared the ball taken from Fahrbach with one extracted from a cartridge still remaining in the revolver with which the shooting is said to have been done. The ball taken from Fahrbach weighed eight and a half grains more than that extracted from the cartridge. The ball taken from tbe body of George Duncan, which is supposed to be a thirty-eight calibre, weighs just one-half grain less than that taken from Fahroacb. The ball taken from the body of Mrs. McClnre, which is thought to be a thlrty-two-oalibre. weighs twenty-six grains less than that taken from Fahrbach. August Leauty. dealer in firearms and ammunition, on West Washington street, said that it was his opinion that if Fahrbach held the revolver from which the shot was tired that killed him, his face would have been much more powderburned than it was. A revolver would powder-burn an object shot at, be said, tor a distance of at least one yard. The disparity or weight between the ball in tbe pistol and that removed from Fahrbach's brain, adds still more to the mystery as to whether a third person was concerned in and was present at the time of the tragedy. Jealousy, it has become certain, actuated both tbe girl and her lover to desperate acts in the past. Last night Bessie Pittman was still alive, and Dr. Eisenbiess. who is attending her, says there is a ohance for her recovery.

Fletchers Toy Some Fast Stock in Kentucky Long-Bistanca Ride by Cowbojs Lackey's Sale Big Purses at Terre Haute. The initial number of Randall's Ilorse.' Register made its bow to the pnblie last week. It is a neat-appearing paper, of some thirty odd pages, which will be published weekly in Indianapolis, and be devoted to the interests of horsemen and horses. N. A. Randall, its editor and proprietor, is well known to the clientage he expects to get, being the founder and publisher, during its life, of the Western Sportsman, a horse, journal, and as having been identitied with horse interests in this city for years. The storting of this journal is but another indication of tha horse center into which Indianapolis is growing and an earnest of what it will bo. Messrs. C. B. and S. J.

Local horsemen are taking no little interest as to the outeome of the pending legislation in regard to the racing at Roby in the northern part of the State. Some of them are ratherindignantat tbe volume of calumny that is heaped upon the management of tbe track there, and declare that never were contests rnn under fairer conditions or with less jobbery than at Roby. They also say that the stories of immorality and furious gambling are so exaggerated as to be ridiculous, and declare that to abolish it will be decidedly unjust. A long-distance ride bas been arranged to occur thelst of May. Tho start will be made from Cbadron, in the northwestern part of Nebraska, and the end of the route will be the Nebraska building at the world's fair grounds. The distance is something over two thousand miles, and it is said that about three hundred cowboys will participate in it. The idea of holding the ride was suggested by the one held some time ago, in which the foflicers of the German and Austrian armies were tho competitors. ; The Terre Haute Trotting Association has just made public that it will otter 50,COO in stakes for its fall meeting this senson. It includes a free-for-all 210.000 stake for stallions, one of S5.000 for 2:16 and 2:20 trotters and the same class of pacers. It surely denotes an enterprise that might be commendable in other cities. - The Indiana Trotting and Paoing Associtian, which met in this ciiy last week, fixed no date for its annual meoting, and did not even discuss the matter. It is now understood that it is endeavaring to get the State fair week. It loot considerable money on its venture last year, and wants more of a certainty this. Colonel Dickerson informs us that the young trotting colt Imitator is a faster colt than his half brother McGmtr. 2:154. was at the same atre.

He has selected his stables, and is in fast company with Bud l)obIe on one side of him and Thomas Dickerson on the other, John S. Lackey will conduct one of bis large annual sales at Cambridge City, from Feb. 21 to 2Tjw Ho will have an unusually Urge number of blooded stock to otter, including some noted eiies and fast track horses. , - A comparison of tbe earnings of the six most prominent thoroughbred? and tbe six leading harness horses shows that the former roalized 5304.0VS for their owners, aud the latter $100,475. The man who named one of his horses Mother-in-law because it "interfered'' is entitled to a laurel wreath for working in an old joke in anew way.

AMONG THE CYCLE CRANKS

Dealers Gettinc Ready for a Big Spring Trade, and Salesmen Scattering. Consul Hny Favored a Well-Defined Line Between Amateurs and Professionals, and Will So Vote Richmond Lcses the CoTentrys. " The few warm days last week that caused the disappearance of the snow, and the appearance, after many weeks, of some dry pavements, brought a large number of wheels from their winter abiding places, and saw the loosening np of a great many joints in the nether limbs of the owners of these wheels. They acted as a sort of harbinger of spring, and their influence on trade was felt to a considerable extent. Retail dealers and jobbers now regard tbe season as practically opened on, although sales are as yet coming in a little slow. They are trimming up their front windows with their most seductive machines, embellished with all of tbe accessories, and are starting their most talkative men out to drum adjacent trade. L. J. Keck, of H. T. Hearsey & Co., starts to-morrow on a tour of tbe State in the interest of his firm, and Tom Hay, of Hay fc Willitts, will be saying "Good morning" to bis out-of-town trado in a few days. The prospects for the coming season are more than flattering. The constitutional convention of the L. A. W. occurs in Philadelphia, beginning Feb. 20, and at that time will be settled tbe much-mooted question of whether or no "professionalism" shall be admitted in raoing among. the leaguo members. Thomas Hay, as chief consul for Indiana, will be a delegate to it, and he expressed himself in regard to that question as follows: "Two sets of roles have been drawn uo by the L. A. W. racing board, to be submitted to the convention, which propose to organize two classes, A and B, in the league, tbe first to be composed of amateurs, pure and simple, and the latter to be known as what are commonly called 'makers' amateurs men whose expenses are paid by themakers of the wheels they $de, but who will not be allowed to ride for out-and-out cash prizes. I do not believe such a plan a good one. I say make two classes, but let one be as strictly amateur as the other is strictly professional. Then there will be no quibbling and haggling over tine distinctions as to whois and who is not the one or the other. There is no reason why bicycle racing should not be brought down to a money-making basis, the same as horsBraciug or baseball. There is no less inter est taken in the latter because people are in them for the money there is in them, is there! Amateurism is all right at home, and in home races. A community feels a certain pride in its best rider, but when thai; rider goes out of his own bailiwick be has to subside in favor of the favorite of the place to which he goes. If bioycle racing is conducted for money the result will be better tracks to race on, better facilities for seeing tbe races, better management of them, for men will tit themselves for it, and better men to race, for the reason that if they see some compensation at the end of a season's bard training tbey can ailord to do that training. I think we ought to havo both classes, and I shall vbte to that effect when 1 attend the league convention.'' The Coventry Machine Company, of Coventry, England, bicycle manufacturers, has abandoned its proposed plant at Richmond. It organized there some time ago, securing a number of local stockholders, and,' receiving a generous bonus, proposed building at once. A meeting of the local stockholders was held last week, audit was unanimously voted to withdraw their support and guaranty.' They claim that tbe Coventry people acted in bad faith with them, in that they wanted to s ock up the plant with about $25,000 of old machines. The Coventry peo-i pie charge the failure toa tight of the Eastend land syndicate against the West-aide syndicate. It is said that the Englishmen are not greatly put out on account of this, action, believing that the newadministra-j tion will remove the tariff on their product, and that. they can operate their plant, at home as well as in jthis country. t Thomas Gallen and W. L. Sachtleben,' two St. Louis young men. hare about completed a tour around the world on 'cycles, except where water prevented. They started from New York, and yesterday had completed the circuit of tho globe as far aa Tucson. Tex. They crossed tho celebrated Colorado desert without mishaps, accomplishing fifty-six miles a day. They expect to reach New York in about ninety days. The Indiana Bicycle Manufacturing Company's new men were all in the city last week familiarizing themselves with their lines and getting acquainted. W. C. Marion, Hartford, Conn., celebrated announoer, who will cover tbe eastern territory, Fred Pattee ("King Patiee," as he is called), who has assumed tbe general management of the works, Charles Johnson and A. C. Wyman were among them. Carl Cameron, the candidate for captain of the Zigzag Club on one of the tickets nominated, desires it to be stated that it will be .impossible for him to accept the position should be be elected, owing to arrangements made for the summer, and that he declines to run. Harvey Du Crois, representing the Dunlop Tiro Company, Boston, was in tho city lust week. He is one of the celebrated Du Crois brothers, who are numbered among England's fastest "peds." He announces his intention of taking to the "path" in America the coming summer. C. F. Smith, president of the Indiana Bioycle Company, has presented the Zigzag Club with a new home trainer. It is the "Sweeting" machine, and is arranged by means of dials to show tho speed acquired, and. being "double-barreled," can be used for racing. , The bicycle firm of Minor & Hunter, on North Meridian street, suffered quite a loss by water at the timeof the English Hotel tire last week. Their storeroom is located next to tho portion of the block that was on tire, and was Hooded. Arthur Zimmerman, the world's champion, has turned author, aud will publish a book in the near future in which he will give his views on bow to train for bicycle racing, and will also tell of his race experiences while abroad.

WHAT S0CT1IEKXEK3 EAT. Fried Bacon and Corn Bread the Poor Man's Food Cooking Without Stoves. Christian UnionA dish of fried bacon for breakfast is about as universal among the poor as tbe light of the morning sun. The frying-pan 19 pan-southern. It has been denounced as an enemy of the human constitution, but it movea the cotton hoe and drives the mule. But suppose we tako breakfast, or dinner, or supper with Mr. Amos Muse and his family a wife and eight children. He is a white tenant cotton-planter; has his full share of sloth and improvidence; mortgages every crop, plows a mule and at the end of every year is stripped and stranded. The commonest necessity, such as wheat flour, sugar, beef, rice, fruit, etc., is a rare luxury in that home. Three months at a time wheat bread is not seen on the table, and sugar is a luxury so little used that its high value as a flavor is not so well appreciated. Iteef is brought to the table so seldom, and is so miserably cooked, that thero is no relish for it. The cooking of these more wholesome food articles demands an art that has never been acquired in this home. So the expensiveness of such food, and the lack of skill in preparing it," have denied it to the table of this very poor aud humble home. But the wolf never gets eo near the door that the breakfast table of the Muse family does not have these two articles corn pones and black cotfee. That has been nmuy a breakfast there in the springtime, and the working members of this lamily ground with poverty went to their morning task with not much moro to expect at dinner.; But the nsual breakfast consists of four articles corn pones, fried meat, black coflee and molasses, all of which are pnri-based at the neighboring store upon a mortgage. If there is a question between meat and cotfee at breakfast cotlee is al ways chosen and meat preferred at dinner. Molasses always takes fourth place with the olaer members of the family, the younger making their meal principally of molasses and bread. Tho dinner is more often corn bread and boiled meat aud vegetables, either cultivated or wild. Amos Muse's spring dinner-table has poKe salad and other wild vegetables on it many a day. and his family has quailed many a cupof sassafras and spicewood teallavored with molasses when cotlee could nRt be had for supoer. Every poor familyvusualiy owns that indispensable creature to tbe happiness of the home, a milch cow, but Amos Muse has forfeited his by mortgage. Because of improvidence, chickens do not nourish in his yard, and eggs are also a luxury on his table. There are seasons, of course, when tho stern diet of meat and bread, etc. is relieved. In the summer the blackberries and the huckleberries ripen and bring a sense of relief to the Muses. For thete berries in the South are peculiarly tbe poor man's. Wild in the woods, the poor gather them for food and for market, and they are bartered at the neighboring store for meat, inolasses and cotlee. The frost never touches these crops in the South, and there is a chuckle of joy in many a poor farmhouse down there when the blackberries get ripe. With the return of the blacKberry comes the first new wheat Hour, the annual little bag of sugar is bought, and there is the midsummer family feast. It is a gastronomio sensation never to be forgotten, and it comes to the home of Amos Musn. But, whatever may be said of the improvidence of Amos Muse, he is always sure and careful to cultivate one article, the sweet potato, the food of the poor man's paradise. A poor man would as soon bo deprived of his aquirrol dog asof his sweet potato patch, which represents bis highest ideal of husbandry. It furnishes more food, and better adapted to his taste, than anything else he grows. There is poetry in tbe poor child's expectation over tbe roasting sweet potato in the hot ashes. When the sweet potato get ripe, tbe Muses take a long holiday, and Amos spends the long August and September days in tbe woods with his dog and gun. The norghum cane-patch is another spot of earth to which the poor man devotes his atlections. The new-made bright sorghum and the new corn bread furnish a deal f new hope and happiness for the harvest of the cotton crop. There is one more gastronomic joy, and v;hen that is gone the Mues must content themselves on that bill of faro only which King Cotton can afford to furnish his subjects. The house shoat his grown ready for the slaughter, and the only kind of

The cooking in this humble abode is as inartistic as the food, though t orn-bread is one of the finest of breads aud cotlee one of tho finest of drinks, prepared by an artist. , All tbe Doorof this class are without stoves, and so must cook in simple vessels over great hot lire-places, where the drndgervbearing women burn their facee. The cooking is drodgery of tbe most trying and laborious kind, forit imposes upon the women the carrying of water and the making of fires. 1 have seen many a barefooted white 'woman swinging a dull ax at a woodpile on a hot summer day, struggling to prepare dinner for her hungry spouse in the cotton-field; and. if it were not done promptly, there was sometimes a disturbante in the family. Many of these poor white women boo cotton until late in the forenoon and then prepare dinner for their families. There are no higher examples of obscure heroism in this country than the lives of these poor white Southern farmhouse wives and matrons. The dining table is an object of education in the home. Greek and lioman art devoted its highest efforts not only to the food, but to the furnishings of the table and dining-room. The patricians ate reclining npon conches, their digestive organs aided by soft music; but the foodtaking of the very poor certainly has none of the intellectual or emotional enjoyment about it, whatever may be said of its animal pleasure. Amos Muse's table is without napkin or cloth, and fnrnisbed with inartistic tin-plate vessels aud coarse crockery. Never a tinkling and shining glass or bright knife is seen there. The food is poured in great dishes and fed out, and tbe bread eaten in awkward hunks. It is gone through in silence, as a stern, uncomplaining and heroic necessity. That is our poor man's table in the cottonfields of the South, aud it gives a glimpse of the tables of many of the poor there, where agricultural poverty is grinding so many of the people. But of late many of tho poor farmers have turned their attention to the cultivation of food supplies. They will not rely eo mncb upon the Western smokehouse and crib, for this favored Kection can and will produce almost every necessity and luxury that ia to be found upon the tables of the land.
