The horse Dewey that was displaced by the city to make room for a larger horse and better match for Prince, was sold at Lafayette last week and brought $162.50. The new Dewey is recovering from a severe attack of lung fever. During his sickness the city has been compelled to hire a team. A young feUow named Whit'ng, who pitched base ball for Brook last year, has been signed by the Terre Haute team of the Three Eye lague for the coming season. Whiting pitched a game or two against Rensselaer and seemed to be a very ordinary pitcher, but he may improve in faster company.

Hazel Carr left yesterday evening for Walla Walla, Wash., where, his wife and family have been visiting for the past six weeks. He has been keeping batch since their departure, and it didn’t set very well with him, so he determined a few days ago to go to Illinois to visit his brother, but aftgr he arrived at the depot he decided to go on to Washington-to see his family. Mrs. Carr is very favorably impressed with that state and it is possible that Hazel may decide to move there. Jesse Eldridge and wife came in town yesterday evening from the home of his father, Nathan Eldridge, in Barkley township, where they have been for the past seven or eight weeks.

The new city of Gary reems to have put it over Hammond In the scrap for another superior court in Lake county. Hammond wanted another superior judge, and so did Gary, and the latter city was willing to build a fine court building costing from SIOO,OOO to $200,000 If the legislature would provide for ho'ding court there. Hammond opposed the Gary bill bitterly, but to no avail, and the bill which was introduced by Senator Bowser, was advanced to a 3d reading Monday. Evidently Gary proposes to make Hammond take second place among the towns of Lake county.
