OJ'KliA HOUSE BACHKIXK».
In the enumeration and classification of bachelors there i» one species which seem* to have thus far successfully escaped newspaper notice, and this Is to be wondered at when the publicity which he gives, himself ia considered. T. T. refers to the opera house bachelor. Sometimes he is married for all practical purposes excopt spending a dollar occasionally that his wife may have an evening's enjoyment at the theater. There are only a few of these, however, which speaks well for the, city. But there are numerous young men who enjoy the society of young ladles at their homes, monopolize their* time and attention, but are never wlUn to be seen anywhere in public with them where there is any cost attached to it. Yet theso young men never miss a show. They attend singly and in groups, and seem to enjoy thorns* tves very much indeed. Generally th are to be fouud down near the frout row in the orchestra in large numbers, though a few of them never get any farther than the back row of the family circle. The education of these young men bad been sadly neglected, and their young lady friends should take them in hand. If they cannot occasionally take their lady companions to a performance the ladles should organize a mutual protection association for their own amusement and the exclusion of opera house bachelors from their charmed circle.

Of course there is :h» law against gum chewing, any ii.ore than there Is against tobacco chewing or cigarette smoking, but it is none the uvs disgusting to those who are eoi.v polled to tolerate It in their presence. Nature provided the cow with her cud, but it never intended human j'tws for the mastication of gum. It is habit from which no person can derive any benefit, Is often disgusting, and should be discouraged.

There seems to be a hitch in tho ar-rangement-t for the proposed work house. The county commissioners thought tho city could help build and maintain it under the law, and that it would do so. The law, however, says it must be built by the county and maintained by it, and that the city can have nothing to do with It. The city would certainly pay its share for the construction and maintenance of the institution if allowed to do so, ami that very willingly, but it seems that the county must go it alone in the matter, which it will undoubtedly do. There is no diminution in the number of prisoners who board and lodge in the jail at county exItense, and when the cold weather sets in there will certainly be an Increase unless something is done to stop it. The board bills now foot up about nine hundred dollars each month on an average, and there is nothing to show for it. n» are intended to diminish crime, tho«e who are placed behind the bar* are put there for punishment. In the case of the Vigo county jail th© prisoners have no work to do, ar* comfort* ably lodged, well taken care of and provided with good meals. It is a sort of retreat ft-r all the bums and tramps in the neighborhood, and they take advantage of its hospitality. It is Ume to stop It, and it should be done. When the bums go to jail they should be made to work, and a work house should be provided immediately for that purpose.

There Is ©very reason to believe that if the clamor for an enormously high assessment of Ax tell and other tine stock is heeded, there will be an end to fine horses and expensive stables in fodiiD*, for a Ume at !oaat. This thing of assessing tine breeding at«ck at fancy prices is unhean! of In any other state in the Union. Kven import**! horaw for breed, lug purposes are allowed to pass through the c»«sou» house dtttv free- It is the custom to encourage the breeding of g*od sio^k everywhere, and if Indiana draws the Hnc t.'« tine it will greatly retard advancement in that diction. It was only last v»»r that New Yoik gentleman was making atmnffffieni* 1®" aiwttt in stock fart» h»re, i»«i when he fomrd of the determination »»f tiiecouut board to ntMMielt a* Axtell out of tke state be dipped the
matter at once and invested his money near I Ky., where he was assured oi-eucouragement and protection and that ia where all the fine horses will go if such a radical course is persisted in. Twenty years ago the exhibits of stock at oar county fairs were principally confined to a lot of plugs fit only for hacks, and whose owners wanted nothing better in the fteigbborbood because they couJMta't. ownlt. Times have changed since thefb but there is still that Same intolerant spirit in some quarters—envious of every person who baa something better than they possess, knd who wants to accomplish some good in tho community in which he lives. Which ought to be suppressed and which encouraged?

A Lost Creek township exhibitor at the late fair has called T. T.'s attention to the alleged so-called horticultural hall on the fair grounds. He complains that it is not large enough for a display of fruits and vegetables such as the people of this county can and would make if properly encouraged, and that it is neither lighted properly nor ventilated sufficiently. He asserts that unless the directors build a new one before next year tho exhibitors will fail to materialize. The managers of the fe.ir have had a hard time of it since they assumed control, and are doing tho best they can under existing circumstances. Of late years they have vested more than twenty-fivo thousand dollars in improvements, and are not near done yet. There Is talk now of building a large addition to their fine art hall so it can be made to accommodate all the agricultural and horticultural displays which are sent in. They are willing to do all they can to accomplish the greatest good to the greatest number, so loug as they haye the money, but when that gives out they must stop. This year many of the farm era yery foolishly made w«\r on the directors, and cut the attendance down materially. Of course this injured the fair financially, and naturally retard needed improvements. But it is to be hoped that in another year there will bo no such opposition, but that all will work to make it tho largest and bofetfatrin a 4
urokui^cAt again in spots at se the old stauds. There is nothing a ling in tho announcement, because any poison who knows anything at all about it knows that, gambling cannot bo suppressed for any great length of time, any more than tho King ordinance will keop men sober. There is not a town in the country where gambling has ever been successfully suppressed permanently. Occasionally when a cry is raised against it tho gamblers havo been made to close for a few days or a few weeks, but as soon as tho vigilance relaxes tho game Is sure to commence again. It is just as hard to suppress gambling as it is to put down the liquor traffic, but like tho latter it tnay be kept within bounds, and that has been done here for some time. Years ago, wlion everything was run wide open, this was a gambler's paradise, and when they were driven from all other places they came here. Times havo changed since then, and wherever gambling is carried on it is done very quietly, and is coutluod principally to private rooms.

Thore has been a supposition that tho New England genius was not particularly strong In the amusement line. But this supposition may be not well founded. Anyhow, circumstances threw the stage management of a graud^threeringed aggregation and greatest show on earth into tie hands of the simple folk of Thompsonvllle, Conn., and Thornpsouvllle arose to the occasion nobly. In fifteen minutes after they assumed control the tent was ail afird, the animals were turned loose and the performers were licked. The entertainment is said to have come nearer living up to tho circus advertiseinentof ablaze of wonder and a sirocco of mirth than anything in the show line that has yet struch Thompsonville. But that, of course, may be attributable to the scru ptilous New England conscience.
The malicious lying done by politl^il demagogues and calamity prophets about mortgages has been exposed by the census returns. Insiead of 9,000,000 mortgages on land, with the encumbrances amounting to more than its value, as repeatedly asserted by these enemies of the people, the returns show that there are about 2,250,000 homes and farms occupied by owners encumbered by mortgages. As there are about 12,500,00c) families, leas than one-fourth live in encumbered homes. The billion five hundred and sixty-five million dollars the total amount of the mortgaged indebtedness on homes and farms, estimated to be about one-third the value of the property encumbered. The census returns also show that about twothirds of the total mortgage indebtedness represents purchase money. The lying will still go on, however. It ia extremely popular with a class of people who are looking forward to a time when they can, under cover of finance laws passed with the Intent in view, repudiate their honest debts.

At this rate how can poor Chicago get ahead in the census tables or in the matter of tall buildings?

the box with thoskeloton on August- 14th and bad taken it to to Hillsdale on Aug. 16th (S.inday). He took it back to Chicago, where ho called and got the Mutual company's §5,000 policy on August 17th and then returned to Hillsdale. He and Trout carried the valise and tho box from
Otter Creek junction to the cabin. There they were stowed away and on Sunday night Trout assisted him in arranging the bones for cremation. While they were arranging them Musgrave said that he grow faint and weak, when Trout said: 'Braceup! You must not weaken now. We havo started this thing and must finish it now.' Musgrave was rooming at 4,347 Berkeley avenue. I had gone there to see him, his name theie being J. D.Thornton, but he had gone to the Oakland hotel to send a telegram. I went to and from his room and the hotel two times and finally saw him coming on the street to the hotel. He wore no glasses then but I knew him by his walk. I told him that it was a very foolish scheme to attempt to work because no one believed that he bad been burned. Charley Trout had told me on Monday that Musnrave's address would be 4,345 Berkeley avenue but Musgrave explained that the room he had rented before coming to Hillsdale could not be reached when he returned to Chicago because the family was away from home and he had rented 4,357 Berkeley avenue instead." The story was told in a straightforward manner, and noonehad any doubt of its truth.
After Markle left Trout was called in and repeated his old story with alight variations. Then it dawned upon him that some one had given him away, and he weakened. Some things he admitted and frankly stated that in his former examination he bad perjured himself. He told a portion of the truth and concealed most of it: He waa evidently trying to shield others, and if the whole troth ever comes to light hearts will ache which have never before been talked of In connection with the case. Trout waa arrested on a charge of conspiring to burn the cabin. Justice Wiidy admitted him to bail in $5#0, which was furnished by his mother and daughter.
A telegram was sent to Chicago to arrest Musgrave, but some enterprising newspaper correspondent here headed off the police by telegraphing the news an hour ahead, and when the officer* went after their man they found he had profited by the news and skipped out. As there Is no reward for him be will probably escape, for a tlm« at least, but It I* not among the paeelblHUee that he will remain long in obscurity. His rascality will not remain dormant very long.
A look into the history of the Mostgrave family In this locality shows that
'^SHi
"Bob" came honestly by his disposition to rascality. The older citizens of Terre Haute will remember the Musgrave brothers who came here from England. For years they conducted a tannery at the foot of Walnut street, on the bank of the river. Their names were Edmund and Jonathan. Jonathan was Bob's father, and later moved up to Otter Creek, where he purchased a farm. Edmund remained in town, and had a family here he was married twice, and by his first wife had a daughter named Clara, who was a deaf mute, but a very bright girl. Along about 1874 Clara's grandmother died in England and left her §9,000 in cash. All the correspondence which came to this country in regard to the matter was appropriated by tho girl's father, who wauted to obtain possession of tho money. With tnis end in view a power of attorney was forged, purporting to give Clara's father authority to go to England and collect the money.
Armed with the forged document, Edmund went to England, collected the monej', returned to Terre Haute and put the money in a bauk here. Not satisfied with that he filed a petition in the Circuit court to have Clara adjudged insane, and himself appointed guardian. Pending the hearing of tho case the victim was taken up to Jonathan's home in Otter Creek, where she was fastened up in a room and kept there by force. In some mysterious way tho facts became known by a few and John E. Lamb, then a young attorney, became interested in the case, and determined to see that justice was done. Officers were sent up to Jonathan's house with instructions to return with the girl. Jonathan refused to deliver her and the door was battered in. The girl was found inside and brought to town. Fearing violence she was sent down to Prairioton township and placed lu good hands for safe keeping. Afterwards when she was brought to town the Musgraves made au attempt to take possession of the girl by force, which was resisted successfu'ly.
While these proceedings were going on, a charge of laioeny was' preferred against Edmund.

MALPRACTICE.
A I'ralrie Creok Doctor Accused of Causing tho Death of a Young Woman.
On Thursday, August 27, Rboda Starkey, aged 30 years, a seamstress who lived upstairs on the
theast corner of
Fourth and Mulberry streets, a:ed after a short illness. A death certificate was made out by Dr. J. M. Talbott, of Prairie Creek township, and gave the cause of death "congestion of the stomach and bowels." On Friday the body was taken to Pogue's cemetery, south of Middlotown, and burled.
There were rumors of malpractice, and on Monday the Cotoner, accompanied by Deputy Zimmerman, Dr. Schell, Chief Meagher and Captain fly land, ~'ent down, exhumed the body and held a post mortem. Dr. Schell's testimony was that on tho day of Miss Starkey's death be had been called in by Dr. Talbott to see her. In the morning she wan lying on a loungo and almost pulseless. He asked Talbott if she might not bo in an interesting condit'on, and he said not. He saw her again at in tho evening and when he called again two hours later she was dead. The post mortem showed that the woman had been pregnant, and that she had aborted, but there was no evidence of the use of instruments or of violence of any kind.
The evidence of Dr. Talbott was in substance that he had known the deceased for ten or twelve years, and that at tho time of ber death they were engaged to be married. He acknowledged that he had been treating her for ten or eleven days before her decease, but denied knowledgeof her being in a delicate condition. On Tuesday Talbott was arrested on an affidavit sworn out by Coroner Mattox, charging him with malpractice. He was taken before Justice Wildy, who released him on fl,000 bond, which was furnished by several of the most prominent citizens of Prairie Creek township,
