ACCIDENTS GALORE,

tjUHSHINE YESTERDAY BUT BKNOKIfcED THK ICE MOKE SHIPFKKY.

4 ft amber of Eciiou Accidents Reported As Keialt—Same of the Injured.

The sun came out yesterday end shone almost his first greeting to Terre Haute In two weeks. He bowed low in tho soutHu lad remained in that position, for this is the time when hie rays are more oblique Mid when he retires earliest of ail the year.

But although Sol's greeting -was a little chilly and his presence not S3 warm as tan be remembered, he stayed in the clear long enough to melt the upper pariiclesf of the icy cruet which has been with the citizens for a number of days. However, this melting did not extend tar enough to reduce the coating materially nor to afford, a soft and resisting footway. As a result, people slid and fell more continually and mote provokingly than before. When they arose from their involuntary reclination they were made aware that their garments,' or the portion of them which touched the ground, had suffered in looks.

The indefinable purple always present to the atmosphere actually turned to a distinct blue on the slanting street corners, and there was usually some one at these places engaged with all might in regaining the position for which man is intended.

A very laughable but very uncomfortable accident fcefell two young men of this city' yesterday while they "were out driving north' of the city a few miles. Their horse wasr not shod for slippery roads and fell several times where travel had not worn through the sleet to the gravel underneath. The vehicle finally came to a place where the road slanted on one side toward a small, branch, or brook, which made a bend at the point to within a foot or so of the edge, of^ the road. The horse took advantage of a1 Jshrt stretch of bare, ground and when the $ little hillside was reached was going at a

I good gait. The animal slid and scrambled |for dear life. The buggy slid also and Just1 as it reached the edge of the brook the 'M horse reached dry land and started forth ffwith a lunge.. The two occupants of *he buggy shot out into the water like ihelaSt* boy on the end of a game of "whipcracker.-"' •m They dived through the gauzy surface of Itte and when they stood up found the water up' jr to their necks. With one impulse thejr started for the bank next the road. The -J® other side was too high for them to reach?.*

But they could not climb out. The sid^.of •m the bank was covered with ice and there was not even a stalk of grass to cling fo'r„ '?!&> Several times they would, literally with Mi tooth and nail, draw themselves partly out, and then, losing hold, splash back in£o,~^l\ef' 'lis chilly waters. At last a farmer, who had seen the accident from a distance, arrive^. and pulled them out. ,.J ass Mack Walker, the grocer at Sixth and

Locust, sustained a terrible fall yesterday morning. His head and spine were J,nju^ed and a doctor was hastily called. .{ ?k» Mrs. Ann Joyce, 802 South Fourth str.eqt,., -9$ sprained her wrist and tore the ligaments, loose. .y.-fn

NEXT YEAR'S ELECTION.

What Mr. Crumpacker Thinks of the Outlook in Indiana. *'a' .4«ix,

Special to the IndlanaDolis News.

••m

Washington, Dec. 23-5—"For a quarter of •jgifea century," said Congressman Crumpacker, "Indiana has voted against the aaministra-7 1 tlon in off years. The election 2«xt ye^c, fs will be hotly contested all over the state,

The Democrats have already held meetings '.'•# In a number of districts. The Republicans .•?$ hold their annual love feast preparatorythe organization for the campaign the 28th 55 Inst. Currency will be the issue, a£nd with •i free silver as the war cry of the regul.ar

Democracy the gold Democrats will un* .•:« doubtedly vote with the Republicans. That •, will be an important factor, although I doubt whether the gold Democrats are as numeral ous in Indiana as they have been represented."

Mr. Crumpacker does not share entirely the views of Congressman Johnson of Indiina, about the currency. "Mr. Johnson," laid he, "says that, in common with the riews of Chairman Walker of the banking •?4 »nd currency committee, he would have radical currency reforms. I believe public sentiment is not yet eduated up to the adranced position assumed by Secretary Gage hi his bill. There would be a revolution against the retirement of greenbacks, and especially among the people of Indiana, a where in many sections greenbacks are re-

I garded as sacred."

WILL BUILD MORGUE.

Undertaking Establishment to Be Built in Aristooratic Meridian Street. 4? Indianapolis, Dec. 23.—The residents of

North Meridian street are in high Indignatlon over the acMon of the council in defeating the undertaking oi-dinance by a sd vote of 10 to 9, two members being absent.

The ordinance was designed to prevent Charles Whit sell from erecting an undertaking house at (old) 2S7 North Meridian street. Now that Whitsett has succeeded In having the ordinance defeated the plans xof the opposition are set at naught.. •k The council committee on public health ??met last night to hear the residents of "North Meridian and elsewhere, who came to urge favorable action on the ordinance regulating the location of morgues and *?imdertafcltis establishments in residence streets.

Among those who appeared before the ^committee last night to advocate the ordinance were Volney T. Malott. W. If. :?3Brown, G. M. Ballard. A. H. Snow and

Pr. Henry "Van Hummel. Mr. Malott said ^Mr. Whitsett was "pleading that business was crowding northward. He gave it as his opinion that it would be thirty years Jut least before there was a business establishment in Meridian street north of

University park. Mr. Malott said he would ^not have an undertaking house across ifrom his residence for anything. "How would you like to have the gar»ibage wagons stabled against your house?" asked Mr. Higgins, of the committee. ., Mr. Malott smiled and said he would /rather have the garbage wagon stables tlii* a the undertaking house.

This suggestion called forth comment .on Higgins' ordinance requiring the garbage wagons to be assembled outside the xjcity limits and it was endorsed. "The cor™^mlttee derided unanimously to report in favor of the ordinance against undertaking establishments and also the one

Tgainst garbage wagon stables, but the .-council ignored the committee's report. gg«

KID M'COY'S PLANS.

Will Join a Vaudeville Show^May ftgfif With Firtsimmons. 1 Homer Sel\y, brother and manager of I"Kid" McCoy, is in the city for'a short %5me. says last evening's Indianapolis

News. Ho came here on private business connected with the insanity nrocerMilngs which were brought against, his mother. He says ihey will not toe pushed. "The ca?e wu sknply this." he said "mother kept my.J2-ye*r-oid sister nut of school two yvkts to te*a4t th* child her re- 1

ligious beliefs. We children did not Uk« Jt. and went to the extreme to stop it. The 'Sister is at school in Colorado now, and th,ere is no occasion nor wasj there ever any thought of putting our mother in a hospital. j. "I have signed "The tod" for a ten "weeks' tour with Harry Williams' vaudeville show, which is now playing at Buffalo. Next week it will be at Koster & Bial's, New York. McCoy Is the first fighter who ever secured an engagement there. He does a bag-punching act and a threeround bout with Tommy West. We shall tajke in all the Eastern cities. After the contract with Williams expires I shall take my brother, TommgWest and 'Doc' Paine on a ctmpaigning tour through the eountry "The Kid' will meet all comers at 15? pounds, the middle-weight limit. We aire out for the money, and if Creedon can get enough money we will fight him again. If Pjjtzsimmons will fight at 158 pounds 'The Kid' wil fight hin? right away, but If Fitzsimmons refuses to fight at that weight I believe that the day will come when my brotner and Fitzsimmons will go In the ring together, and then my brother will whip him. We propose to be cautious, and 'The Kid' will not fight any one heavier than 158. The thing which gave rise to O'Rourke's story that 'The Kid's' trainers- rubbed rosin on his gloves was the fact that at the close of th esixth round •Payne used a towel to wipe the blood from McCoy's gloves, where they had come in bontact .with the cut over Creedon's eye. O'Rourke tried to call him down, but it did not go. There was hardly enough rosin' in the ring for the fighters to put on their feet."

Dispatches quote Mrs. Norman Selby, the wife of "Kid" McCoy, as saying that she isp roud of the success which nas come to her husband, and that she may go back to live with him.

IT WAS DIVORCE DAY

.ID0OB PIKTY LISTENED TO NUMEROUS HOUSEHOLD COMPLAINTS.

Belle Mason Granted Dl+orce From Her Cruel Husband—'The Davis Family Again*/.

'AboiiiV twenty divorce cases had been set JOr trial in the Circuit Court yesteraay. About one-fourth of these were actually ,tried. {•Belle Mason appeared before the court to ask fordivorce Irom her husband, Otto liason, a railroader. Her Story was pitiful in the extreme. She was corroborated by lieighlaofs and friends.

According to the evidence. Mason left his iWife, a weak-looking 'woman, to herself and on her Own resources about two and a half ''jfv-'aiy &|jp.' Since that time he has not provided for her in any way. Mrs. Mason's sister, a Mrs. Holton, told the court that some :time ago, while the plaintiff was sitting in itihe^ house of a neighbor, her husband en,'t^red, and dragging the woman to the stairway, kicked her down the flight and followed her to her home.

The brows of the judge contracted at this it relation, an^jwhen it was sustained by others, he did Jiiot wait for much other evidence but entered a finding for the plaintiff as she asked. The husband was not present.

James W.„and Ella Davis, with their attorneys,. M: C. H-imill and- J.. T. Walker, respectively,1 also came before the court. The

DaY^'s^'amil^ has had more trouble in the •iplast ieK'months 'than an ice merchant in December. ''The principals in the suit had a number of ihot fights, arid threw things at each other, from an angry glance to a chair dr rolling pin. She had him arrested for assault and battery and desertion. Then he for divorce, to which she filed a cross complaint. Davis is an itinerant photographer.

At times during the trial yesterday the sheriff had trouble to keep the loving couple apart. The lawyers got into several wran-

matter under aclvlsement. He will probably

give the child, over which the. fight is principally about, to the father with the understanding that ihe find for it a• suitable ome, aifd will give the divorce to ithe mother.

Lillian Myers was given a divorce from Fritz'- Myers. The defendant was the man who recently "mixed" with Jlerchant Policeman O'Reiliy. 'Charles K. Hlte was divorced from Lucinda Hi'te. Two children were given to the defendant and two to the plaintiff.

TERBE HAUTE EXPRESS FRIDAY MORNING. DECEMBER 24 1897

A SYSTEMATIC SHARK

WORKS A SKBIKS OJF BUNCO GA.HKS DOWN MAIN STBKBT WEDNESDAY.

Descriptions four FImm Tally Exactly —Thought to He Bslroadr-. Mm.

There was a "bunco" man on Main street Wednesday night who should be the king of them all, as far as a fertility of invention and quickness for lying is concerned. Before he had vanished into outer darkness he had "hocuased" three gold rings and two good pairs of shoes.

It seems that the fellow began his operations near Seventh street If he struck any other merchant before he entered the store of Louis Smith no report has been made. It was a little after 9 o'clock that a tall, comfortably dressed man, oi dark complexion and moustache, thought to be about 35 years of age, sauntered into Louis Smith's place and leaned over the showcase toward Henry Schmidt, the jeweler. "Say, I want to get a solid gold watch chain of*some very handsome pattern," hesaid. "I have nothing of the sort in stock," answered Mr. Schmidt, "but here is a catalogue, by which I can order you anything you want"

The fellow hesitated a little and then said "Well, I am one of a committee which is buying a Christmas present, and I don't want to go it alone. I will step out and look for my partner and we will be back in a few moments." The jeweler was not disturbed a second time.

From that place, taking the time he arrived into consideration, the next store the man entered was that of Froeb Bros. Here the man (he answered to the description given by Mr. Schmidt) wanted a watch chain. He looked at one and asked that he be allowed to take two or three home with him for his 'Wife to see. He said he had a fine gold watch at home which he wanted to trade on the chain, and that he would pay the difference. Mr. Froab told him the holidays was too near for him to think of thus depleting his stock for a moment.

The next attempt, and this time a successful one, was made in th store of E. W. Leeds. This time it was rings he asked to see. He told his stock lie that the goods he had bought before in the place had suited exactly. He said he had bought a ring for his little daughter from Mr. Leeds a week before and that it was exactly satisfactory. He asked that he be allowed to take hime with him three rings which suited his fancy and he would return in a short time. Mr. Leeds, thinking he had really seen the man before, allowed him to do so. About the time to close the doors he notified the police about the matter.

It is supposed that It was th.V'sa'mfi sharper who walked into the shoe store of Nick BoIand a short time after Mr. Leeds had been victimized. A number of persons were standing in the room, among whom was Charles Gilmore, the popular shoemaker. The fellow spoke to the group, calling several by name. Mr. Gilmore says he had seen the man a number of times, although he did not know his name, and thinks he is a railroader. The description Mr. Boland and the others present gave is identical with those of the three other stores. He walked up to Assignee Grimes and asked to see a pair of fine shoes. Mr. Grimes was busy and Nick Boland took the man in charge. The latter told Mr. Boland that the pair of shoes he had bought a short time Before from the place were excellent and that they had fitted finely. He finally picked out two pair of high priced shoes of a given size, and asked that he be allowed to take ithem in next door to Tune Bros., where his son was trying on a suit of clothes? This was so reasonable a request that Mr. Boland felt perfectly safe in acceding. The fellow did not even put the shoes in^their boxes, but strode out with them in his hand. In less than half an hour Mr. Boland "caught on."

There is not the slightest clue to the identity of the smoothest and most audacious bunco man that Terre Haute has seen for a long time.

For som'e nlysteriousreason Captain Pierce, who was in the store of iA. F. Froeb in connection with the case about 11 o'clock Wednesday nig£t, kept the thing secret until yesterday morning.

ANOTHER SMOOTH FELLOW.^

Worked His Little Game and Got Away With All the Money. More than one installment house of the city is regretting the departure of Charles Miller, or W. C. Carter, or whatever his name may be. The fellow is a well-dressed, smooth-looking stranger, and he first presented himself to W. C. Baker, general agent of an installment house of Chicago. Mr. Laker was impressed with the man's appearance*and aadress, and at once engaged him as a canvasser. He w.is selling albums and rugs, and went out dayafter day HtHi goods belonging to Mr. Baker's firm. Then tho canvasser disappeared and Mr. Baker began looking around.

Ho found he had been very cleverly swindled by the fellow. Ihe plan of operation of Miller was to t»*e a number of blank leases with him and while out in the city fill one of them out with a fictitious name. The albums he carried were supposed to sell for $5, but Miller would sell them for $2 and *3 cash. Of the money received he would turn over to the company 50 cents and kee: the balance. He sold rugs on the same plan and when he leic the city he was just $46 to the good on his week's work. The police were notified of the man's operations and tried to find him last night. It is believed, however, he has left the city. Agent Baker is not the only installment dealer to suffer by reason of Miller's operations.

Miller swindled James Kuykfcndall, of 1421 First avenue out of $11. He went to Kuykendall's house to board and borrowed $11 a few days ago. He left without paying either 'his board bill or the $11.

BASKEr BALL TEAM.

One Is Being Organized in the High School in This City.

Since the High School played its last game of foot ball last fall the institution has been without much athletic activity. Within the past few days, however, some of the foot ball men and a few others have set on foot a movement to organize a basket ball team.

Last year the High School *1iad''£" i5'6d basket ball team. It played the Polytechnic,

the Normal aad the Y. M. C. A. Some of the men who played with last year's aggregation will be Connected with the one now being formed. It is said that the team is practically made up, but as yet it has not practiced any. All this work will be done in the T. *M. C. A. gymnasium. When the, team is in shape it will arranga dates with other schools in this city and with the High Schobfts of neighboring towns.

THE CHRISTMAS NUMBER.

Rose Technic in an Attractive Cover and With Interesting Articles.

The December-*and Christmas number of the Rose Technic has just been issued from the publishing hoyse of the Globe Printing Co. It is more than, usually attractive.. The cover of the book was designed by Mr. J. M. Lansdon, Jr., and is a very creditable piece of work for an amateur. There are five colors in the cover.

In the number are the following articles: "The Dodge System of Coal Storage," by Prttfessor John B. Peddle "Some Problems in Track Laying," by W. R. Sanborn, '96 "The Yerkes Observatory," by Professor J. A. Parkhiirst of Marengo, III. "The Harmonic Analyzer," by J. Henry LendV, '97, and the "Differential System of Multiplex Telegraphy," by F. t). Platter, '99.

The plates of illustration and the cuts throughout the number are very good. The members of the institute consider it the best Technic yet issued.

Kecorda For All Fears Broken. Sault Ste 3$«rie, Mich., Dec. 23.—The year *97 shows an increase over all previous years of nearly 2,000,000 tons in freight traffic through the United Liates and Canadian Sault canals, 18,918,400 tons being carried through this year. The number of vessels' passages this year shows a decrease of 1,447 from last year, but there was an increase in registered tonnage of 370,500, indicating decided increase in business of lake vessels. The number of passengers carried in 1897 was 40,200, an Increase of 5,150 over last year.

New Counterfeit Sliver Certificate. Washington, Dec. 23.—The secret service division of the treasury gives notice of a new counterfeit certificate. It is of the series of 1896, check letter, face plate number,, 22 back plate number, 12 J. Fount Tillman, register N. Morgan, treasurer No. 2,852,687. It is printed on two thin sheets of paper with the silk'fibers between. The silk, however, is ttoo heavy. The most marked defect is in'the numbering, which is much too small while the greeri ink on the back is too light itr color.

Launched Oa Blinding Snow Storm.

Cleveland, Dec. 23.—^In a blinding snow storm the revenue cutter Onondaga was launched this afternoon at the yard of the Globe Iron Works Co. The steamer was christened by Miss'Lois Augusta Allen. Many government officials witnessed the launching.
