CHAPTER

Twu

OF THE STORY MRS. UNDERSELL BELIEVES NOW HER HUSBAND DID NOT ELOPE WITH FAWCETT WOMAN While the Woman's Father Believes They Are Together Somewhere. The publication yesterday of the UHderhill-Fawcett escapade caused considerable comment. Mrs. Underbill, when seen today, said she knew nothing more than was stated yesterday, and since she learned of the letter written by the Fawcett woman she does not believe they are together. A Palladium representative called at the Walker home and interviewed th6 father in regard to the matter. He stated that it was his opinion they were together someAvhere, and that somewhere was not the places heretofore mentioned. Miss Lizzie Walker stated that her sister, Mrs. Fawcett, had snoken to her about going away with Underbill on Saturday night last. She did not state definitely what time they were going, neither did she say any more about it until Wednesday, when she said she was going to Bradford, Ohio, to an uncle, who raised her, and never intended returning here. The sister also said that Mrs. Fawcett packed a valise and left it in the house upon leaving. She stated further that while she was out of the house some one came and got the valise, and she saw no more of it. The whole affair is shrouded in mystery, but all will come to light ere long. ONE OF THEFIGHTS A Reminiscence of Center vMIe and Salisbury. (The following is copied from the local editorial columns of the Centeryille "True Republican" of June 5, 1SG2. Jacob Julian, the hero of the sketch, was an uncle of Jacob B., George W., and Isaac II. Julian, so Ions: identified with Wayne county, and was one of her earliest settlers. He afterwards located at Greensboro, Henry county, and later resided for many years on his farm near Logansport, ending his days in the later 60 's.) Coming u p to our office one morning in February last, we saw Lewis Jones of this vicinity in conversation with a tall old gentleman who, although his face was turned in another direction, we recognized at a glance as Jacob Julian, an old pioneer of this county, but now of the vicinity of Logansport the same whose religious belief we copied into our paper of the first of May. The association of these two men at once called up in our mind an interesting narration which we had some years before heard Jones give of a scene in the early days of Centerville,' in which said Julian figured so as to make himself o.uite famous in a field of enterprise in which he had never aspired to distinction. It occurred during the now almost forgotten "fighting days of Centerville," while Salisbury was yet her formidable rival, and our town a straggling village, mostly of log houses scattered along the yawning mudhole of a street, nearly every other one of which was a dram shop. Drinking was then well nigh universal, and fighting hardly less so, among the heterogeneous population of the place, and the rude frontiersmen who congregated here of Saturday evenings. There was a certain "set" of ruffians and "bullies" who come to town regularly and expressly to provoke a "fight" with some one parading the streets Avith curses and bravados for' that purpose. In the reminiscences of the fighting and drinking days of Centerville wliich we sometimes hear talked of by old settlers, a family o the name of Brocas, always figured prominently. They were, we have been informed, from Tennessee. One of their number, Jerry Brocas, was pre-eminent among them, and was of imwerful make and ferocious appearance. There was an other of this class named Alexander, and it was he who figured prominently

in the story we are about to rehearse, Jacob Julian was in those days one of the most powerful men of his time till, large, athletic and active. Few men were a match for him at log rollings and raisings. He cleared a good

part of the ground where the city of Richmond now stands. With these physical gifts, however, and perfectly self-reliant, he was one of the most quiet and peaceable of men. He never drank, quarreled, nor fought was, in short, a Carolina Quaker without guile. He it was whom this bully Alexander singled out as a supposed easy subject to triumph over. It will be seen that he "caught a Tartar." Lewis Jones saw the fight, but by way of preface, first gave a graphic account of the "side scenes," on the authority of the late Lot Bloomfield. Alexander, who was also quite a large man, lived at Salisbury, between the citizens of which place and those of Centerville, the utmost cordiality did not exist. Bloomfield going over to the former delectable place one morning, met Alexander on his way to Centerville, "to whip some of the d d scoundrels about that place" so he said! Bloomfield advised him to be a little cautious, or he might get a sound drubbing himself, and so passed on. Coming home in the evening, Bloomfield met Alexander returning, about the same place where they had met in the morning, and saw at once that a change had come o'er the spirit of his dream. He was considerably the worse of wear, and quiet crestfallen. As soon as they met, in response' to Bloom field's inquiry as to what was the matter, Alexander exclaimed: 'Py I went over to Ceerviile and got into a horse mill!" Now, as to the fight, Jones says that Alexander met and accosted Julian by asking him for a chew of tobacco. The latter was dressed in a linen suit, including a wamiss a "Jersey frock" an old lady of that period suggests to us with side pockets, in one of wliich he had a handful of "dog leg", tobacco, a part of wliich he handed to Alexander. "D n your tobacco, and d n you!" he exclaimed. Another account has it that he said: "I had ratlier take it off of your cheek." Julian merely replied, "I know what you want," and immediately seized the other iu his grasp, crushed him to the earth, and choked and mauled him till he was fain to call for quarter. The thing was done with an ease, coolness, and thoroughness which entirely Avon the applause and admiration of the crowd and as the event became noised abroad,, the prompt, righteous and handsome punishment of a most wanton insult by a professional bully, gave very general satisfaction .and is remembered and related by old settlers of Wayne county as one of the big things which oecm-red during its early history. Jacob Julian, as we have said, was no "fighting man," and is now bowed with years and bodily infirmities, but a peculiar smile Avill yet play around his face Avhen reference . is made to the subject. Garfield Notes. The following four talks Ave re given yesterday morning at the exercises: Ocean Cables John StaiT. The Struggle for Kansas Walter Richmond. The Monroe Doctrine Ralph Sudhoff.

The plan here is so different from Avhat is necessary in the ward buildings that some time is usually lost by entering classes.

TAKING PLENTY OF TIME Republicans in No Hurry About th9 State Convention. Indianapolis, Jan. 2fi. Republicans here are beginning to discuss the question of when the next state convention shall be held, and there is a growing sentiment in favor of postponing the meeting until May or perhaps even June. For several year3 it has bea customary to hold early conventions, and usually the nominations have been made before the first of May. This year a change is likely, however. Republicans here as elsewhere over the state are not agreed exactly as to the proper time, but for the most part they say the convention should come late. One reason given is that the candidates need more time in which to make a canvass of the state. The present campaign for ofaces has been a peculiar one in that the candidates have been A'ery late in starting in to canvass the state. Two years ago the candidates for state offices had almost completed their first tour of the state at this stage of the campaign. But this year there is not a candidate who has visited a dozen counties so far as can be learned. Some of the Republican leaders also think it will be well to postpone the conA-ention as long as possible in order that it may be possible to know more about what the Democrats intend to do. While the action of the opposition will not have much effect on the Republicans it is felt that no opportunity to take advantage of Democratic mistakes and call attention to them in the platform should be overlooked. For these reasons most of the party workers here favor a lato convention. This city is in the grip of a colj snap and blizzard such as has not been seen here for a long time. The great drop in the temperature, preceded and accompanied as it has been by th Curries of snow which have made the walking difficult, has driven everyone indoors who did not find it absolutely necessary to be on the streets. The blizzard which has been raging in the West seemed to empty itself into Indianapolis last night, and this morning the town was "frozen up." The streetcar service has been affected as much by the cold as by the fire in the car-barns which destroyed twenty-six cars on Sunday night, and these incidents coming together have tended to make Indianapolis anything but a pleasant place to live in during the last twenty-four hours. The cold and the snows have caused new apprehensions about the safety of the bridges here, too. The structures were so weakened by the last freshet that'they have not yet been opened to travel. , It is feared that when the fresh ice caused by the cold snap breaks and comes down against the bridges the supports may Aveaken and the old structures go. Mayor Holtzman has appeared in a new role and as a successful detective he ha3 set an example to the police force which the officers could emulate with great advantage to the city. For the mayor made an arrest on Sunday in person which may result in clearing up some of the mysteries of the past few months. Recently Mayor Iloltsman suffered a loss of $1,000 through the rifling of his rooms in the Claypool by a thief who walked off, with a stack of jewelry. Sunday Mayer Holtzman caught a bell-boy coming from his rooms and, scenting something wrong, stopped him. On questioning the boy it developed that he was Aery much alarmed and he finally confessed to using the pass-keys to enter the room and steal $1.50. He confessed to robbing other rooms of $39. The use of the pass-keys by the boy is thought to explain the former robbery, although the bell-boy who is involved in the present trouble is not considered guilty of the other offense. IU ijmna on tne weQuing morning presents . are sent to the bridegroom and among them always a pair of geese. fTliese are not sent as a jest, but as the emblem of domestic peace and faithfulness. In the evening the bridegroom ami his friends convey the bride to her future borne. On arrival she is lifted o-er the threshold, on which a pan of charcoal is burning to prevent hei bringing any evil into the house Avitt her. She then makes obeisance to the assembled guest3 and takes food in company with her husband. At this meal they share two cups of wine, ono with bitter herbs In it and the other sweetened. This is to symbolize the sharing of each other's sorrows as "well as joys In their married
