After coming to this country he served in a campaign against the Yucatan Indians in Central America. He came to this city in 1840, and has resided here since that time, for many years following bis trade of a cigar maker, his shop being located in the old building at the corner of Third and Ohio streets. After retiring from that business he was for a number of years janitor of the Normal school building, a position be was com pelled to abandon on account of falling health.

The plant of the Citizens' Gas and fruel Company was sold at public sale on Tuesday, by Assignee V. Marshall, the purchaser being John D. Mcllheny, who recently acquired a controlling interest in the old gas company. The purchase price was $08,846.13. R. S. Tennant, who ba«i opposed the sale of the plant during all thn negotiations that hive been in pr

igr*s*,%was

granted «n

injunction t!«« -ale, but the papers were not served on the assignee til the sale had been made, the appointment of Judgfe Wm. Mack as special judge in the Superior court, having been made by telegraph, Judge Henry being in St. Joe. The attorneys for the aaalgnee claim that the appointment by telegraph was illegal, and they therefore ignored the injunction proceeding*, and the assignee made the transfer as if legal steps had never been taken in the matter. No explanation has been offered of Mr. Tennant's detay in the matter when the sale has been advertised for thirty days past, but he says that tne sale and transfer will bo fought up to the Supreme court, to see if it can bs made to stand.- Mr. Mcllheny disclaims any intention of consolidating the two companies, and saya that the price of gas will not be advanced, at least not for the present. Superintendent M. N. Dial!, of the old company, will now have charge of the other plant, Snpt. Kirkhim bavIng resigned his position.

John Swarta, who is an employe® of C. C. Smith's Sons Co., and the sols support of an aged mother, ia an inrrate of the county jail, because like Old Dog Tray, he got into bad company. Swam waa one of a gang that dial orbed a meeting at Harrison Park last Monday night, and when William Snedlker waa arrested by the park jjollceman, Swarts attempted to rescue the prisoner, and hit the policeman over the bead with a club, I 'tbe p^feon Wrwheels. producing painful Injuries. When! Swart* waa arraigned before Mayor Ross

he entered a plea of guilty, and the' |gg

should have thought of before he took part la the rowdy proceedings which led to hia conviction and aentenoe. Swartz's em player* agreed to atay or pay the fine if be were released from the jail sentence, but President Harrison was firm and as a result Swarta will be compelled to spend forty daya in jail to pay hia fine and serve out the jail aqnteaoe. President Harrison ia determined that the beat of order shall be ma lutained at his park, and will punish all offenders to the full extent of the law. Hia experience with the Swarta case ahows that he means what he says, and it ia not at all likely that there will be any moresoenes like that enacted laat Monday night.

Mra. Maria Burton, who is known to fame, and the police, as "Madame Hammond," whloh was her name previoua to her marriage to the lately deceaaed S. C. Burton, 1»aa found a way in whloh ahe thinks ahe can evade the prosecutions that were threatened unlesa ahe moved her questionable reaort from the corner of Second and Poplar streets. That la by announcing herself as the owner of a hotel. She posted a sign In front of her house on Monday, whloh was the day aet fortbe beginning of the prosecutions, which anuounoea "Burton's Hotel. Meala at all Hours. Furnished Rooms for rent." Thus far the threatened prosecutions have not materialized. The madame is having a whole peck of trouble just at present. To oap the climax Attorney Sant Davis sued her this week for |600 for legal advice rendered.

THE BARNZJM-BAILEYSHO W.

As the railroads have oome to the front and quoted a low round trip rate, it is safe to predict that a large oiowd from this plaoe will attend the Barnum and Bailey Greatest Show on Earth, when it exhibits at Paris, 111, next' Wednesday, August 21st. The railroads, reoognizlng the vast importance of thiB amusement institution, always make special arrangements in the way of train aohedules and low rates to accommodate the big crowds that are always sure to attend, and this year will prove no exception to the rule of the past, as thia great show this year 1B more than ever worthy of enormous patronage, for no where can one see so muoh for so little money. One of the big attractions will be the street parade whloh will represent the military uniforms of all nations, with liviog representatives of the crowned heads of the world.,

HARRISON PARK,

A very interesting programme has been arranged for this popular resort for next week. The features include Venita, the serpentine dancer, who ia said to be one of the most expert of the many fancy dancers before the public Prof. Weltzmann, the aerial wonder, who walks a tight wire and pushes a wheelbarrow, and does a number of other wonderful feats, winding up his ex hi bition With a wonderful display of fireworks Shaffer «fc Hall, the musical kings, who appear In a number of new specialties, and Montana Charley, who will giv* an exhibition of horseback riding, among the feats he performs being that of picking up a handkerchief from the ground while under a full gallop.

The determination of President Harrison to protect his patrons Is destined to make Harrison Park more popular than over. He has secured these expon aive attractions for the benefit of the patrons of hia street oar system, and in order to protect them and secure them in their rights has adopted a plan whereby all those who visit the park will, by paying ten cents for the round trip, «e cure a coupon that will admit them to the summer theatre. Arrangements have also been made for checking bleyclee, whereby riders can, for a small tee, have their wheels properly taken of, and returned to them in good order at the end of the performance. This Ur a convenience that will be greatly appreciated by those who desire to visit

to successfully conduct such an enterprise. An instance of the disposition to asalat In the matter is devoloped in the canvass made Marx Myers and Nick Smith. In the assignment of territory to them they were to raise #100 as their share of the $2,000 neoesaary fortbe expenses of the conclave. They had no trouble in raising #200, and if the other committees do as well the money will be raised beyond all question. Manager B»ur, of the Terre Haute, will go up to Chicago soon to make arrangements for the fireworks to be uaed on that occasion, and also to get figures on other features of the display. The various committees at work on the affair are doing well, and it can be safely stated that the spectacle will overshadow any similar one ever attempted in this city. It will be a great feature to draw crowds, and will materially assist in ringing the attendance of the fall raoes up to a big figure,
