JLRS. MARION DISHON TAKEN TO JAIL YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.

iBer's is a Very Sad Case—Religion Turned Her Reason—Destitution in Pearl Alley.

In a small but airy cell in the east wing of the county jail there is confined Mrs. Anna E. Dishon, wife of Marian Dishon of this city. 'This is probably the saddest case that has come under the notice of the authorities of Vigo county in along time. Until a few days ago Mrs. Dishon possessed all of her faculties. Christmas day she presided at her table, surrounded by friends. She laughed and chatted with them and was in the best, of spirits. The next day however, her husband noticed a change in her, and while he said nothing, he feared the worst. Wednesday night she became violently insane and it was with the greatest difficulty that the husband prevented her from killing him.

Two policemen went to the residence on South Fourth street yesterday and after a fearful struggle took the deuicnted woman to jail. In her frenzy at being taken from her home the poor woman l'ought with all her strength and it wis all the officers could do to hold her. At the jail Dr. Mattox waited on her and when the physician entered the ceil he was dealt a powerful blow in the face. All day and nearly all night the cries of the unfortunato woman could be heard issuing from the jail. Occasionally she would s:ng, imagining she was at church, and Lhen almost instantly she would break out into a religious tall:. During the afternoon several bf her friends called to see her. Sh? recognized them all, ,but the old hallucination woulcl come back, She would go to chs hydrant, turn on the water and, looking at her friends, would say: "See, there is the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ see how it gushes from his bleeding side. His blood will save us all and I am going to bo saved now. I will drink and be an angel like little Marie," and with this speech she would place her lips to the running water and drink.

When not talking about religion Mrs. Dishon would rave about the doctors. She is of the opinion the doctors are trying to kill her and once during the afternoon when some one looked into the cell she threw her arms wildly into the air, exclaiming: "Get out of here, Dr. Roberts don't you dare to come in here. You want to give me some of that bad medicine that kills like the whisky for sale at the saloons. I'll fight you if you come in here."

Mrs. Dishon's case is thought to be hopeless, though it must be admitted she knows everyone who comes to see her. When Iwo neighbors came she hurried to the iron floor, put her hand through and said she was glad she had friends who were not ashamed to come to the jail to see her. She iaid she would always remember them, but Almost at once relapsed into complete insanity.

Three Babes Dying: of Diphtheria. Down in Pearl alley there is a picture of destitution pen can scarcely paint. In a miserable hovel, cheerless, dirty and dark, the angel of death is hovering. In this miserable room there is a mother and three little children. The little ones are suffering with diphtheria and it was only yesterday that the cases were found. Dr. McAllister made the discovery and at once gave the dying children treatment. The youngest child will undoubtedly die, as it Is but six months of age and has the dread disease in an acute form. The other children are aged 4 and 6 years. The mother is a deserted wife and has no money with which to buy either food or fuel. The case has been reported to the proper authorities and no doubt willl be given the best and •speediest attention.

QUESTION OF A NEW OPERA HOUSE IN TERRE AUTE. 5

Matter is Now in the Hands of the Managers of the Rose Ladies' Aid Soolety. 1

The fact that nearly a hundred Terre Haute people went to Paris, 111., the other night to see Rhea has brought out more opera house talk among capitalists interested in the erection of a fine house in this city. There have been several opera houses built on paper within the past few months, but The Express is able to announce that at a meeting of the board of managers of the Rose fund next week the question will be settled for a time at least. It has not been many days since the stockholders of the Terre Haute House Co. held a meeting and at this meeting the opera house projact was sprung again.

The stockholders of the Terre Haute House are numbered among the city's wide awake citizens. They take a great pride in Terre Haute and in the years gone by have never failed to come to the front when there was anything beneficial to accrue. It is believed these stockholders, while not particularly desirous of investing in a theater, have arrived at the conclusion that Terre Haute must have a place of amusement. Indeed, they lhave said time and again that they were not anxious to build, but as no one else seems to care to risk anything in a play house, these men have again shown their true Wabash blood by agreeing to make a start.

They have decided that if they can float their bonds they will take up the enterprise. They have made a formal proposition to the board of managers of the Rose fund and these managers will hold a meeting next week. If they can s«e their way clear to take the paper of the Terre Haute House Co. then it can be set down as a fact that the city will have a fine new theater next season. An effort was made to ascertain what action the board of managers would probably take, but none of the members were sufficiently well posted to give any expression in advance of the meeting.

.... A PEEP INTO THE JAIL.

The Graud Jury Visited the Institution Yesterday Afternoon. The grand jury now in session ran out of anything to do yesterday afternoon and made an unexpected visit to tha county jail. They had their eagle eyes out for dirt but it is believed the grand jurymen were disappointed. The jail never looked better than it did yesterday. Everything was neat and clean and Jafler Smith had several men at work making it still cleaner. The jurymen filed into the bum cage first, and while they did not exactly like the display of Paris Green and other insect exterminating powders, they were forced to admit that. considering the large number of men iu jail the lower cake was unusually clean. The upstairs cage, where the porch-climbers are confined, suited the jury exactly. They could find no fault with the kitchen, for since Mr. Smith moved his family to the jail, Mrs. Smith has seen to it that the euliuary department is kept as neat as a pin. The jury visited the rock pile, listened to the thumps of the hammers for a time and then went back to the court house.

She Tried to Love Them Both. There was a decidedly interesting fight on North Fourth street Wednesday evening between two well known youths who were smitten on the same girl. The young thing was doing hef best to decide which she loved and which she loved nit, but at the time of the fight had jaot made up her mind. The two boys met near the corner of Fourth and Eagle and they lost no time in starting hostilities. Constable Burke arrested them and took them to the police station, where they gave fictitious names. They wece released after a reprimand. Captain Hyland told them that in order to settle the question of who was "best" man it would be well for them to go to the girl's house together and there let her decide the question.

The Trustee Is a Busy Man. The cold weather has brought an unprecedented amount of work to Township Trustee Griswold. Never in the history of Terre Haute has there been such an army of people to come to the office asking assistance. Men, women and children throng the office from morning until night, and some of the stories told are pitiful in the extreme.

He Failed to Come Back. *it

The police yesterday sent out cards in an effort to recover a fine Hartford bicycle which was rented from J. Fred Probst Wednesday by Edward Linton. The young man when he rented the wheel said he would return it in a couple of hours, but It seems he failed to keep his part of the agreement

THE CITY DIRECTORY

WORK ON 101 PUBLICATION BEEN UNAVOIDABLY DBLATID.

JJooka WUI Not Be Delivered Bntll Late Next Weak-What the Directory Will Show.

Volume 26 of the Terre Haute City Dlrec-i tory will be delivered to subscribers the latter part ot next week. It was the intention of C. O. Ebel & Co., publishers, to have the books delivered before the first of the year, but owing to unavoidable delay at the printing house it will be impossible to have them In the hands of the people for another week yet. When the directory does make its appearance it will be the handsomest and moist complete bureau of information yet given to the people of this city.. It contains 626 pages and will be covered with a blue binding. One thing the new directory will show, one which no other city directory does show, isfea street number department. In this the name of both the husband and wife is given, also whether or not they own property. The first directory ever issued, compared with the new book, la a deoidedly ancient publication, for instead of 828 pages It had but 836 leaves. On the introductory page of the new directory is the following: "The new features added several years ago, the indexing aiid street number resident directory, have been continued in this issue, although entailing a large extra expense. At the present time these features are only found lb works issued by us. Publishers in other cities have discontinued the street number directory as a needless expense, and one that is appreciated by only a few.

Nineteen thousand four hundred and seven names will be found in this Issue, which, multiplied by

2%,

Terre Haute has shown a steady knd healthy growth, although the hard tlkea have been felt very severely. While a latge number of residences and business hoijses have been erected within the past few years, all are occupied. A large number of improvements are being contemplated, including a new Opera House, new business bjo(cks street paving, sewers, etc. ,'

As heretofore, for the benefit of our advertisers, we will place a copy of this Work in ©very hotel within a radius of sixty ihiles of Terre Haute.

A STORY FROM CUBA

To the Effect That Gomez Has Submitted a Proposition For Peace Chicago, January 7.—A dispatch to the Tribune from Washington, says: Positive statements were made to-night from Spanish Legation sources that Gomez, the Cuoan commander in chief, has actually submitted a proposition for peace to Senor Sagasta in Madrid, and that the facts have already been communicated to the Junta here. All that stands in the way, it is said, is the proposed recall of Captain General Weyler, which the insurgents insist shall be preliminary to all negotiations. These statements come to the Tribune correspondent with great distinctness, but as the durce Is Spanish, there is an open susplcioi that the news may be given out for the express purpose of Injuring the insurgent cai'se.

Secretary Quesada and other daban representatives here have all along denied that the insurgents would accept anything short of independence and they profjss to be shocked and disappointed at th^ story of weakening on the part of Gomez. They will not admit that he has communijated with them, but the Legation story is to the ef feet that a letter from the Cubap General was received by the Junta on Dejember 29, in which he says that If Weyler lis recaled and Martinez Campos, Calleja Isaji or General Pando sent in his 'place, the bsurgents wHl be ready to talk of laying t|wn their arms

Dr. Mattox Beads An Interesting History of the Booiety—Tbe Banquet Oh«r« aeteriMd By Good Tram

The Vigo Medical Society closed their year last night in a very fitting manner. The first part of the evening was devoted to their regular meeting during which Dr. Mattox read a very carefully prepared paper on the history of the society since its reorganization in 1874.

The officers elected for the ensuing year ate the folowlng: Dr. J. E. Link, president Drl. C. F. Zimmerman, vice president E. L. Larkins, secretary and G. M. Smick, treasurer. The committees appointed were the following: Judiciary, Drs. Eichelburger, Neblack, McLean, Comba, Hays. Board of censors, Drs. Weinsteln, Weir and Crapo. Subjects, Cooper, Schelly Glover. During the evening Dr. Mattox read a letter from Dr. J. N. Mathews, of Mason, 111., in which he sent his regrets, his excuse being that he was to be married to Miss Madge l'ation, formerly of this city, last night. At the close of the meeting Dr. Matto* extended to the society an invitation to be his guests at a banquet which he had prepared for them at Sage's cafe. The invitation was accepted by the following who adjourned to reassemble at that place: Drs. Link, Mattox, Larkins, Weidman, J. R. Crapo, Weinsteln, Combs, Hunt, Spotswood, Elchelberger, Swafford, Wyeth, Givens, ^Veir, Aikman, McLean, Niblack, G. W. Crapo, Schell, Cooper, McAllister, Sweeck, Glover, Hays, Spain, Swafford and Professor H. M. Wills, professor of elocution In Coates College.

The banquet was served in excellent style and consisted of the following menu: Blue points, salted almonds, consomme royal, olives, Kennebec salmon, cucumbers, quail on toast, oelery, ice cream in forms, assorted cakes, fruits, coifee.

After the banquet was finished a lenghty programme of toasts was responded to as follows:

Dr. Swafford—"A few things that I remember." In this the doctor gave an interesting resume of the progress of medicine during his professional life. He said he would not undertake to tell all he remembered for fear he would tell some things he did not remember. He said he remembered 1-lQOth of the world's- history according to Archbishop Usher's chronology.

Dr. Glover said that any one going to Europe to attend or visit schools and hospitals letters of introduction would do no good as professors were always supicious until one had proved himself a gentleman and then they treated them in a very courteous manner. r,

Dr. Givens said: "The trials of the country doctor were many and varied." He said while they were compelled to compound their own medicine aud give their instruction orally prescription writing was not an art with them but their patients were not in danger of mistaking the directions for Egyption orally. Prescription writing was not an cine at all. He thought facts were good but experience, observation and a cool head

Bauman reiterated the confession tonight when he said: "My partner was Dave Edmunds, an actor, who is now in Evanston. We met Arbuckle in Sullivan's saloon, down in Harlem. We saw him flash his roll and when he left Edmunds and myself concluded we would follow him and get his money. Edmunds used a small slung shot and I cracked hint over the head with the butt of a revolver. We took his money, $325, a diamond ring and a gold watch. The watch is now pawned in a shop on Park Row near the World building. "When I arrived/here a few days ago I expected to join Georgia Cayvan's company. I have played in Shakespeare and Shakespearean roles with Frederick Ward. When I first started out it was with one of Tony Pastor's companies. My father i» J.

Dr, Hayes—'"The Woman in Medium"— said there was not a place on earth and heaven where woman was not welcome. Poets, orators and all accorded woman a place with the sick which could not be given to man.

Dr. Combs—"The Texas Doctor"—He started out by giving General Sheridan's ^pinion of Texas. He then gave his experience in that state when he started out to" practice. He described the old colored wom,n in the role of doctor and nurse, which as very amusing. He told of the ignorant eing imposed upon by specialists who came ere ostensibly for their health, but in ality to fleece the populace. His talk as interesting and his eulogy of the huanity of all true physicians was of a aracter that showed the doctor to have igh ideals of his profession.

Lloyd and Tlerney to Fight. Jack Tierney. who until recently made l'i headquarters in Terre Haute, but who is no at Brazil, has been matched to fight with KLJ Lloyd. The date and place 0* the battle is known to but few, but it will be given out among the sports In due time. It is said, however, that the ropes will be stretched not more than 1,000 miles from this city and that all lovers of the manly art will be there. The provisions of the fight are rather peculiar when the two men are known. Tierney is a middle-weight, while Lloyd is a light-weight. Tierney puts up money that he can stop the Brazil lad in ten rounds. There area good many people in this city who are of the °P'^" ion that Tierney will be able to do this. Until Lloyd's fake fight with Mlckle Norton At Newport, Ky., the young fellow had many admirers and backers here. He still has a few men of the opinion he can fight. Tierney is a good man, and ifc can be predicted that if the scrap* pers get together there will be a lively time. Tierney. it will be remembered, was XnocKea out by Babe Robinson last summer.
