Concerning the suicide of HoraA Markham which occurred one mile south of Wakarusa, ou Tuesday of last week, the Goshen Times contains this full account of the affair: “He formerly lived on a farm in St. Joseph county, near South Bend from whence he moved 8 months ago to his late home. Several years ago •he lost three children and his first wife bydeath which seemed to prey upon his mind for some time. In 1875 he remarried with Ellen Miller. Last July a year ago he sold his faim near South Bend and soon after was sorry and requested the purchaser to reconvey the same which he agreed to do, but before this was done he again changed his mind and purchased 82 acres south of Wakarusa for which he paid $3,000, and was not financially embarrassed. During the present summer lie offered his farm for sale, telling his wife that he was bound to return to South Bend, as it was impossible for him to remain on his farm there. On Monday night he was l-estless, and said to his wife on Tuesday morning that it was impossible for him to sleep, and complained of a severe pain in his head all day. He also gave her some papers and told her to keep them so she would have them in ease he became suddenly sick and died. At about 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon lie left the bouse and repaired some fence near the barn. Reports vary as to what he did between the time he stopped work on the fence and when he was lirst discovered. The most authoritative statement is that he proceeded to get liis team and haul a load of clover into the barn, after which he descended from his load, untied the rope used to secure the clover to the wagon, tied one end to a rafter aud the other around his neck and then jumped from the joice, the distance of his fall being about eight feet. After waiting for his return for some time, Mrs. Markham became quite anxious aud sent one of her children to the barn to see what detained her husband. The child found the body suspended from the rafters, and tried to cut it down but failed. She tlien gave the alarm, and his brother, who owns and lives on an adjoining farm, came to the scene and detached the body. Esq. 8. C. Harrington was deputized by Dr. C. S. Frink, the coroner, and held an inquest last night, resulting in the following verdict, which was filed to-day with the county clerk: “Death was caused by strangulatiou at his own hands, and the probable cause was mental derangement. 1 ’ INDIANA STATE FAIR. “The prospect could not be better,” said one of the managers. In fact, we have not met with any discouragement. Indiana ns a state has been speciallyblessed this season with favorable weather and good crops, never more so. General good health prevails; no disease among live stock, prosperity is apparent on every hand, and success of the fair is assured. At this early date there are enough applications on lile to make a good show. The superintendents are inquiring for more territory; and more stalls and pens must be made. The Board has offered a special SLOCK) purse if certain noted horse will enter for a trotting race to be made on Wednesday Sept. 29. A special Hotel prize of S4OO is offered in two premiums for the best K of 1\ drill, provided the Indianapolis and

Kokomo divisions compete on Tuesday, September _’Mh. on4he state fairground. The Woman's Department continues to improve and increase m> that all of the large Exposition Building will soon be required for their display: already the whole upper lloor is occupied by them aud space at a premium. The growth of this department of the fair is simply wonderful. Children’s day, on Tuesday <>i tlie Fair, will he observed; all free under 12 years of age: special attention will be given to their entertainment. 'The Dog and Pony show will be in full blast that day: also the K. ,of P. drills in their fancy figures and astonishing movements: also the tloral displays for which large premiums are offered. Special attractions and races are provided for each day. No reasonable estimate can be placed on the great -advantage the State Fair has been in developing the improvements in live stock and Machinery, by briuging together in contrast the best of each, so that the improvements made from year to year may be seen. Such exhibitions are now indispensable iu this “era of progress,” and no enterprisiug farmer or mechanic can afford to remain away from the Indiana State Fair the week commencing September 27. Railroad rates are now uniform for the Western State lairs.

Great St. Louis Fair Programme. The 26th Great St. Louis Fair opens Oct. 4th. and continues ti days. $73,000 is offered in cash premiums, to be distributed among the exhibitors of Horses Cattle, Sheep, Swine and Poultry; Machinery, Mechanical and Industrial Displays, Works of Art, Textile Fabrics, Produce, Fruits and Vegetables, Geological and Chemical Specimens.

Dressed meat is now being supplied to ojusto-, mers at a reduction of fully twenty per cent. So the meat business is undegoing tlic same evolution as the illuminating oil business. Thousands of dealers are injured but millions of consumers are benefited. This same monopolizing tendency is showing itself in all the great industries of the country. Its results so far lias been to diminish the number of our middle class and heap up wealth in a few hands. While it increases the numbers of workers of all kinds it is adding to their comforts.

AN EXPENSIVE LUXURY. A llc*lclinmter that Has Caused a I.awsttit in \av York. A remarkable lawsuit, in which John A. Morris, a millionaire of this city, and M. X. Cutter, local architect, have figured prominently, has been decided by Judge Donohue in favor of the former. The suit involves perhaps the most expcti'iYi' bed-room evereonstrueied. Mr. Morris has a large country establishment at Throgg's Neck, Westchester County. In October. l.$S2, lie decided to have a private bed-room built for his own use. and called in Mr. Cutter, who was to formulate plans. It was said at the trial that the re a-Am the. addition was made was because when Mr. Morris slept he snored so loudly that the. noise disturbed the other sleepers in the house. Mr. -Morris* specifications called for a total expenditure of $5,500, The bed-room was to be located over the carriageway, aud access thereto had through a private bathroom which connected with Airs. Morris* sleeping apartment. The room was to be twen-ty-four feet square. and, except that it should contain an, English fireplace, was to be iti keeping with the main house externally and internally. After giving these directions Mr. Morris and family went south for the winter. Although the main house was built entirely of wood, the architect provided that the western side of the addition should be an arch of brown stone aud brick supporting a chimney forty-five feet high, shaped like a champagne bottle perforated by a bull's eye window. On the eastern'end he ordered att elliptical bay window, although that of the main house was semi-polygonal. Thus the exterior, as Mr. Morris claims, was made to represent a blast furnace or factory. It was in the interior, however, that ’the architect seems to have given full play to aestheticism. The English fireplace was to have behind it a concealed heating chamber resting upon a block of stone weighing seven thousand pounds. As this mass of rock rested on three slender floor pieces it naturally settled and pitched the fireplace forward, somewhat after the manner of the leaning tower of Pisa. The ceiling of the bedroom was to converge into a dpme lighted with opalescent antique Venetian stained glass with brilliant glass jewels, the forms variously symbolizing months of the year, e. g.\ holly for December, mistletoe for January, and "Morning," "Night,” i “Music,” “Architecture,'’ etc. The r> ora was to he finished in fancy cabinet style, with tide carvings, .arabesque work, carved friezes, cornices, panels of 1 elves and dowers carved and cut through a ground of embossed and painted leather. Tiie e,•••lings and dome were to be trimmed anil hung with embossed leather and Wood, carvings. The. : gas-fixtures were to be of antique brass, Cyprus copper, oxidized silver and manj ufactured to order after tli • architect's special designs. In one corner of the j room a plate oi metal was to be sunk, upon which a brass bedstead should stand. Other concomitants specified by the architect to the carpenter- were equally elaborate, imposing and expensive. By the pleadings in the suit it appeal's that the brick and brown stone masonry was to cost over So,ooo, the earpenterv. exclusive of the interior, over 83,000, the ironwork over $1,300, the .interior finish over $12,000, furniture over $2,000. on" pair of iron andirolis $165, a grate fender $l3O, and a coal-hod. fire-set stand, brush and bellows, slll, The total for these and other luxuries, exclusive of furniture, was over $27,b00, or $21,000 more than the contract with Mr. Morris called for. The only entrance to this palatial bedroom was through a private hath and closet. The carpenter had expended some SO,OOO when, becoming alarmed, ho wired Mr. Morris, in Florida, that he had received an estimate for part of the interior finish of $0.1)71. Mr. Morris at once wrote Mr. Cutter that he had received a telegram from the carpenter that absolutely appalled him, and desired to know -‘what the whistle might cost if lie went on.” At the same timo he wired the builder for full details, and a-ked what was meant by "interior -litfish.” AVhen'he learned what was going on he wrote the following letter to Mr. Cutter: "I gave you authority to draw designs fora room to cost no more than $5,000. You sent me a month since some designs which were perfectly absurd on account of the expense., which they involved, and l wrote you a letter which it struck me any one would understand. Now you amuse yourself by forwarding another lot of designs for furniture for a room which will not bo built with inv consent. Can I say any- [ thing to you which will make you understand that 1 shall never do any of the extravagant things you propose, aud in fact there is nothing you can propose in the future that there is any chance of my doing?” At the same time the builder was directed to complete the addition, disregarding the architect’s plans of tlic interior. Mr. Morris then sued Mr. Cutter for damages amounting to $16,775. The latter retaliated with a suit against Mrs. Morris, who owned the cottage, for $1,262.05, his commission as ail architect in planning this addition toiler premises. The former suit lias not yet been tried. The latter was begun last Thursday before Judge Donohue and a jury in the Supreme Court. On Monday morning the complaint of Mr. Cutter was dismissed upon tlic merit, the plaintiff having failed to establish his ease. There was a large attendance of architects and builders. In this celebrated ease, which lias been running •some two years, tile architect was represented by Mr. John llenrv Hull and Mrs. Morris by Mr. CharlesE. Coddington. Ex-Judges Fullerton and Cardoza were also couusel for defendant on the trial.—-V. V. Graphic.
