I From a Staff Correspondent.]

FRENCH I.JCK SPRINGS, ind.. December H.—Great disappointment came to the two or three hundred guests here today when It wa* learned that Richard Crokcr. the Tammany chief, would not arrive until Monday. He was expected here yesterday, then to-day, and a number of politicians came In this afternoon, •xpectlnc to get. a sight of the man. Mr. Croker switched his plans. He has engaged ten rooms en suite at the hotel, and they are fixed up for him with every comfort, not to say luxury, that can be devised. I do not know what he pays a day for his rooms, but It must be a pretty figure. Several New York politicians will come with him and the party will remain

at least two weeks. Mr.

here means more than a trip to test the efficacy of the waters, for a number of Indiana politicians of the Democratic variety have already engaged rooms during his stay, and Mayor Carter Harrison, of Chicago, has telegraphed that he will Join

Mr. Croker here.

A pleasant-faced man with gray mustache cut close is an object of considerable Interest. He Is Thomas McGahan, warehouse commissioner of Illinois, and all-round leader of the Cook county Democracy. He declares that be Just came here to get the benefit of the waters, but there is a well-grounded suspicion that he came to see Croker, but missed the date. He returned to Chicago this evening In answer to a telegram which, he says, required his assistance to locate a pickle factory In an Ohio town, Crawford Fairbanks, owner of the Terre Haute Brewing Company, this afternoon received a telegram Informing him that his proposition to establish a paper plant at Haverhill, Mass., has been accepted. Associated with Mr. Fairbanks In the scheme are M. R. Williams, formerly president of the strawboard plant at An demon? and B. I. Harter, formerly of Marlon, Ind. The Investment in the plant will be a heavy one. *■ Dan Thomas is one of the main diningroom waiters. Thomas Is from Kentucky and In his boyhood was a Slavs, owned by the parents of Mm. W. W. Herrod, of Indianapolis. He remembers distinctly when “Billy" used to call at the old plantation near Lexington, and any time "Billy" came Dan was sure of a silver dime for holding his horse. Dan now has five children, all grown, his daughter being a teacher In the public schools.

One of the features of a stay at French Lick Is to witness a "badger fight.” It is

always worked ‘ on a "tenderfoot" and provokes a great deal of fun to everyone but the victim. The “badger” Is usually a white water pitcher \mder a barrel, from which the tenderfoot pulls It by a rope. When the Brewers’ Association met here, a few days ago, Albert Lleber pulled out the badger, and when he saw what It was the expression on his face “baffled description,” but he took the Joke good naturedly, which Is more than a good

heard him.

If a man wants old hyson, young hyson, green tea, black 4ea, or any kind of tea, don'.t aay you haven’t got It. Just go and get

The waiter stared and then emlled. In a minute he had a cup of smoking tea be-

"Yes, sah.”

Mr. Hickman tasted It and shook his head, but he drank It and remarked: "Just doing that way is what has made

Tom Taggart a success."

This Is a sportsman's paradise for small game. There are 48,000.000 rabbits around here. That’s what the clerk told me, and he surely would not warp the truth for a few rabbits.

One of the places that every visitor to French Lick Is expected to see Is the “outlaws’ cave." located among the hills s mile or two from the hotel.’ It Is not much of a cave, but it has a grewsome history. For a number of years what Was known as the Archer gang terrorised this and adjoining counties, and the deeds of these bandits were so devilish that even the officers were afraid to attempt their arrest The gang was composed of Mart Archer, forty years old, who was considered the leader; his brother. Thomas. sixty years old; John Archer, son of Thomas; Sam tnd Thomas Archer, also sons of Thomas, and Mart Archer, a nephew of Thomas. Ostensibly they were small farmers and whetstone makers, but really they were bad men "Little’’ Mart Archer and Sanuel Morley became Involved In a quarrel and Morley shot Archer dead. The rest of the Archers kwore vengeance on Morley, who got out bf their way. Samuel Bunch, a relative to Morley. pretended to know where Morley was hiding.

Coughs and Colds

Jury Finds That Plaintiff Has No Cause of Action After Deliberating for Fifteen Hours.

[Special to The Indianapolis News.]

ANGOLA, Ind., December 14.—A suit was tried in the Steuben Circuit Court this week In which F. 8. Roby, one of the appellate Judges of Indiana, was plaintiff, and Mrs. G. AIHe fMsk, defendant. The action was based on a claim by Judge Roby against Mrs. Fisk for attorney’s fees in a divorce proceeding tried in the State of Utah. In which Judge Roby assisted. The plaintiff claimed that he was to receive 550 and all expenses in going and returning from Utah, in return for his services. The defendant asserted that Judge Robjr was to travel to and from on an excursion ticket, and that the cost of such ticket, with $50 added, was the extent of compensation she agreed to pay; and that she had already paid that an.ount. She also asserted that Judge Roby agreed to start for Utah on the same day with herself and mother, Mrs. George E. Young, of this city, so as to arrive in time to prepare for the trial. Upon reaching their destination in

Mart and John—father, son and brother. Sam Archer was afterward arrested In Fountain county and hanged for the murder of Bunch. This wiped out the gang. Some of the relatives of the Archers still live here, but they are reputable citixens. The man who owns the cave in which the murder was committed has grown rich from visitors, who have to pay an admission fee to see It. W. H. McDoel, president and general manager of the Monon, and one of the owners of the Springs Hotel, arrived here this afternoon, and will remain over Sunday. Judge E. K. Adams, one of the leading lawyers of Shelbyville. and president of the Indianapolis, Shelbyville & Southeastern Traction Company, Is stopping here for a week or ten days. Mr, Adams says his company has purchased the necessary ties, rails and other material to build the road, finished considerable of the grading, and put In a good share of the bridge foundations. The Intention Is to connect this line with the/Greensburg, Shelbyville A Batesville traction line, and extend It to Lawrenceburg. where direct connection will be made with a Cincinnati trolley line. The two traction companies are made up of the same people, who are acting under two corporate names in order to better finance the Greensburg, Shelbyville A Batesville road. Tom Williams is the athletic Instructor at this place and keeps those who are fond of physical exercise busy. Williams in his day was a famous man In the ring. For several years he was the chamolon lightweight boxer of England and Australia, later he was athletic Instructor for the British army, and In this country was the Instructor for several New York clubs. He drifted out to Indiana a few years ago and landed at French Lick and has been hers ever since. He is one of the interesting characters about the place. This Is the dullest season of the year at the hotel and It Is expected that there will be few arrivals until after the holidays. The reservation of rooms shows that there will be an unusually large number of people here, beginning with February 1. Among the most prominent of Indiana people now here are: IndtanaDOlia—J. M. Wood. Daniel Burton. J. M. Sullivan, George A. Rasbeck and wife. J. L. Hadley. G. C. Goss. Albert Gall, Jr„ Mrs. T. Taggart and son. Terre Haute — Crawford Fairbanks. Maurice J. Frank and wife.

James Murdock, of Lafayette, arrived this morning In a blinding snowstorm. He is here, he says, on business, but announces that he will likely stay until Wednesday. Mr. Murdock Is taking a more active interest in State politics than for several years, and he can go away Wednesday and still have a conference with Croker. Mr. Murdock says that if Stephen B. Fleming, of Ft. Wayne, were coaxed hard, he would accept the State chairmanship. Murdock, however, says he would not himself accept the position under any consideration. W. H. BLODGETT.

Said that the Chicago Pipeline Company Proposes to Get Greater Volume to Avoid Illegal

Pressure.

[Special to The Indianapolis Newa.] ALEXANDRIA, Ind., December 14.—In speaking of the matter of pressure necessary to transport gas a long distance, John L. Pertz, councilman of Elwood, and for years superintendent of the Kokomo Gas Company’s plant, together with Superintendent Clark, of tse Pittsburg plate glass-works, Kokomo, and Assistant Gas Inspector C. C. Matthews, of this city, the unanimous conclusion was. after much figuring, aided by years of experience, that natural gas pumped in the mains that the Chicago Pipeline Company Is using in the territory between Greentown and Tolleston, must necessarily lose five pounds per mile of pressure by friction. As the distance from the field to Chicago is about 126 miles, the problem is plain. The further fact is mentioned that east of Greentown the capacity of the mains is nearly double that from Greentown to Tolleston, and further thdt the boilers at the Summitville station number but eighteen, while Fairmount has twenty-eight, with larger horse-power per boiler, while at Greentown forty-eight are used. The opinion of these men is that, regardless of the pressure this side of Greentown, the State gas’ supervisor, If he desired an actual test, would tap the gas mains the other side of Greentown.

This he has never done. Guards Still on Duty.

The secret tap made near Radley is yet unplugged, and the gauges stand where placed, still sheltered by the house which was set over them. The ruling of the court at Marlon did not bear on this act, and the matter is still unsettled, the railroad and the gas company keeping men at the spot, though for what purpose they themselves do not seem to know. The gas pressure at the time of the tap is said by those who ought to know, to have

been Just within the legal limit and approximately 2r« pounds. This, however, proves nothing as to what the company is doing the other side or Greentown. The laying of an additional main to increase the volume of gas at this end, and thereby cut down the pressure, is regarded as evidence that the company is uncertain cf the result of a suit by the State, and it is expected that pumping stations will be sandwiched in between Greentown and Chicago, if need be, with larger mains, that the company may continue the volPl AfiF ume without exceeding lawful limits in

Assistant Gas Inspector Matthews was at Frankton, Elwood, Fairmount and Summitville yesterday and found a few minor violations, mostly relating to the flambeau law Drillers in the oil field around Alexandria are lying awake nights trying to invent harmless-appear-ing ways of wasting gas, among them being the plan of taking the front end of the extension off the boiler and letting gas rush through the flames and Into the open air.

to Judge Roby, at his home in Auburn, requesting him to come at once. The trial began on Tuesday morning, and Judge Roby left Auburn upon receiving the telegram, reaching the courtroom on Wednesday morning, too late, as alleged, by the defendant, to be of special service, as she then had three other attorneys engaged in the trial. She also alleged that he left for home a day before the decision was rendered, which decision, however, proved to be In her

favor.

On his part Judge Roby asserted that he was not to go on an excursion train, and that he charged her, as a part of the expenses, with the cost of a first-class ticket each way, together with sleeping ear, porter tips, and like expenses. Much feeling was manifested in the trial, which was before a jury; one of the sensational items of evidence being a letter which the defendant claimed to have received from Judge Roby after her return from Utah, which she and her counsel conscrued as a threat, for, if she did not pay the amount demanded, he would assist her divorced husband in taking from her the custody of her child, which was awarded by the Utah court to her. The jury, after deliberating fifteen hours, brought in a verdict that the plaintiff had no cause of action. The plaintiff will ask for a new trial.

HENDEE FOR SENATOR.

SMALLPOX IS FEARED. Hagerstown People Were Exposed to Richmond Victims. [Special to The Indianapolis News.] HAGERSTOWN, Ind., December 14.— A letter received from S. C. Whltesell, an attorney, of Richmond whose home is at Hagerstown, states that his brothcr, Frank T ,A hltesell, a railway bridge carpenter, has the smallpox, at his home in Richmond. Mr. Whltesell states that his brother was engaged in building a station at some town on the C., R. & M. railroad, with Samuel Gebhart, whose wife had the smallpox at that time in Richmond, and it is believed that he became infected In that manner. W hen Mrs. Gebhart had the disease several Hagerstown people who had been exposed at her home were quarantined by the local health officer, and forbidden to return to their homes in Hagerstown. Some of the persons, however, came back here on Thanksgiving day, and now that there is a fresh outbreak of the disease, which can be plainly traced to the Richmond case, there is considerable alarm and anxiety. ' More Electric Railway Talk. [Special to The Indianapolis News.] HAGERSTOWN, Ind., December 14. Electric railway talk has opened up here again. Local capitalists have been asked to assist In building a line from Richmond to Newcastle, the object being to connect with the line there between Knightstown and the gas belt. The scheme received much encouragement locally, and it is said that a contract will be entered into between a Richmond promoter and a number of men who will furnish the money to build the road.

to Dr. Hartman he writes, among oth

things, as follows:

“Our boy, James, had the membranous Croup, and after he had recovered he was subject to repeated at-

“Our boy, Charlie, was also subject to attacks of Pneumonia and pleurisy. Our third boy, John, was subject to fever and ague {malarial) and liver

"Myself and family were all sick a few days ago with stomach trouble and used Peruna with very satlsfactoiy results and at one-third the cost it would have been had we called in a physician who could not possibly have prescribed a better retn-

et than Peruna." L. O. SUMMERSETT.

“We Will Not Do Without Peruna.” Mr. James A. Stalls. Otego, 111., writes: “I can say that Peruna has cured mr four-year-old boy of the tonsllitis, and that of the worst stage. He had It last winter, and 1 took him to three of the best doctors and got no relief. When ? *nok him to the fourth his tonsils were so inflamed that blood was running out of them. The doctor said he could reduce them, so I used his medicine for tour or five weeks, and the boy got but very nitre better. There was a week c.r two mat we thought he would choke to death in

“In looking over your almanac I saw Peruna recommended for throat trouble, so I wrote to Dr. Hartman In regard to

Mr. Albert Uetsmann, 1636 Milwaukee avenue, Chicago, III., writes: “I am only too glad to Inform you that I am feeling splendid and have never felt better in my life. "Through the advice of a friend I tried Peruna, and am glad to say It cured me' to perfection. I began to tell a friend about Peruna the other day, and I had no sooner commenced than he told me his folks have kept Peruna in the house for the last five years. I am sure I wouldn’t do without it. Mother also uses it to keep herself In good health." ALBERT LIETZMAN. Mr. J. H. Billings, Tyronxa, Ark., writes: “My wife and my little boy, six years old, and myself have been using your medicine. I was broken down and my wife had catarrh. I never saw anything like Peruna for a strength producer and appetizer.” J. H. BILLINGS. T. J. Walden, of Jamestown. N.

As soon as the value of Peruna Is fully appreciated by every hou&ihold, both as a preventive and core of these affections, tens of thnusanus of lives will be sa\cd, and nundieds of thousands of chronic, lingering cases o f disease prevented.
