OBITUARY.

Chauncey Rose.

All

except

4,.

(From Tuesday's GAZETTE.)

7:20

last evening Chauncey Rote

died at his residence on north Seyenth street, in the eighty-fourth year of his age. The statement that he died of paralj sis is incorrect.

His career has been so long, and so thoroughly identified with the nearest interests of his adopted home that it will receive, at the hands of an experienced

writer, that

more minute mentiott as regards dates which it deserves. As far as it goes, what is appended is believed to be correct, though meagre.

Chauncey was the seventh child in a family of nine. He was born at Weathersfield, a short distance South of Hartford, Connecticut, on Dec,

24th, 1793.

His father, John Rose, was a modest farmer, his little tract of fifteen acres lying along the banks of the Connecticut

That he was a man ot decidcd character, and rare business sagacity, which, had he engaged in mercantile pursuit would have enabled him to shine, is evident from the family of wealthy sons he reared.

Of the sons there were Geovge, the eldest, who was apprenticed to a ship chandler at Charleston, South Carolina, and John, Roswell, William, Henry and Chauncey.

Chauncey early engaged

mercantile business. He remained upon the

larm

1819

until the

return of his brother George, who had succeeded admirably in the South and who loaned him

$2,000.00

with which he

came West. He reached Terre Haute in the fall of

1877

was here but a brief tin'e. He spent the winter in Kentucky and made a trip further west still in quest of a place to locate. In April of

1818

he returned here

satisfied to live. The country was then in almost aboriginal wildness. Fort Harri* son was not an ornament but a protection,

He threw himself into active work with rare energy and with the display ot that same iron might, and unconquerable *ill which remained with him almost to the last

he removed to Park county

and located a mill where Rosevi'le now stands. He was associated in business there with Moses Robbins and Capt. Andrews.

Roseville was his home until the spring of

182c

when he returned to Terre '3 Haute.

At this time his brotaer George died and his estate was divided among his brothers. Chauncey's portion of it was eight thousand

(8.000)

dollars. With

this, which was a very considerable sum in those days, he embarked in a general mercantile business here. He occupied the room where Locke now is on the west side of Second street, west of the public square \In

1826

took. Mr. Chauncey Warren into partnership with him. They continued doing business together for four or five years. The stores in that day were widely different irom those to which we are now accustomed, dry goods, hardware—in fact every thing. Afterward a partnership was formed between himself, his brother Henry, who lived here for years, and Mr. Waite Robbins.

Mr. Rose then built the rooms on the northwest corner of Second and Ohio, now occupied by Capt. Barrick's mill. Until 1835—or. '36 he continued^ there, meeting with excellent success, -j.

While in business there he bought a half section—320 acres—of land laying between

7th

and

13th

1S40

streets, north of

Poplar and south of Locust. This was then a farm—or rather the most of it was a vast lake covered by the spreading floods of Lost Creek. It was an easy task to skate then from Eighth street for miles around.,

the Prairie House, now Terre

Haute House,was built by Mr. Rose, but was so far east—the main portion of the town being west of

3rd

street—that lor

some years it was closed. In

1S49

the Richmond railway from

Richmond, Indiana, via. Indianapolis and Montezuma, to Springfield, Ills., was projected. Through the efforts of Mr. Rose the line of this road was made to pass through Terre Haute. The building of this road was the great business effort of his life In order to secure the rails he gave his individual note, as did also Messrs McGregor, Warren, Farrington and others, for large amounts. No sooner had the project heen fairly started than there arose a dispute between parties here and at Richmond as to from what point it should be built first. The result was that Mr, Rose and his friends undertook to build the road to Indianapolis and the Richmond people were left to take care of their end for themselves. A number of years were spent in securing the proper charter from the legislature. Mr. Rose was assisted in this work, by his brotherJohn.

With Terre Haute's other railway connections he is also intimately associated particularly with the Evansville and Crawtordsville, and E. T. H. & C. All his interests in these roads, except the last named, he disposed of some, years ago.

His brother, John Rose, died in New York in

1859.

He left an estate worth a

million, bequeathed to various charitable

TOTS TWRTC TTATTTE EVENTNG GAZETTK

institutions. The conditions of the will rendered it difficult ot enforcement* as he required that an amount equal to that he gave should be added by the city or county complete his works.

Thi3

will

was set aside the money went to Chauncy and Henry, the two surviving brothers. It was the chief task of the subject ot our sketch to see the funds properly invested, as nearly as possible as his brother had desired. This cost him much anxiety but he finally succeeded

He was not a lavish giver with his own estate, which he also gave away, but liberal and careful. He spent a great deal of time in a laborious effort to see that the money he gave was not misapplied. Neither was lie an ostentatious bestower of gifts. No man more than he, believed that the left hand should not know what the right hand doeth. His private gifts at various times have much more ^han surpassed his pnblic works.

The establishment of the Rose Polytechnic school, originally started Terre Haute school of Industrial science, was one of his later efforts. To this he gave about

$450,000 00.

The following is the

board of managers: Chauncy Rose, Chas. R. Peddle, Wm- A Jones, Josephus Collet, Barnabas C. Hobbs, Eemus Deming, Firman Mippert, Ray G. Jenckes, Charles Cruf and Wm. K. Edwards.

To the Vigo county orphan home, yet a be built, he has given

$150,000.

The

land for this has been purchased of Jacob D. Earl" and consists of

acres north ot town. The institution was incorporated in

1874

with

the following officers: President, R. W. Thompson vicepresident, W. R. McKeen treasurer, Chas. fll. Warren secretary, George E. Farrington board of managers: Robt. S. Cox, Geo. E. Farrington, Alex. McGregor, Preston Hussey, Wm. R. McKeen, Richard A. Morris, John H. O'Boyle, Altred Pegg, Mortin C. Rankin, R. W. Thompson, Chas. M. Warren and John G. Williams.

Other donations are as follows: To the Ladies Aid Society he gave $100,000.00.

To Wabash College at Crawfordsville various sums aggregating

$85,000. r.„

To St. Ann's Hospital,

$40,000.

This is but one instance. He was a constant giver. It was his aim to dispose of his vast estate while living, and he so far succeeded that at the time of his death he had not above $1

£0,000.00,

if that

much. The reports of his leaving five millions are very untrue. He survived all his family. One of his chief characteristics was his exceeding aversion to all show and display. Ilis buildings he desired to be solid and substantial and convenient," but no more.

In the memory of Terre Hauteans he will retain a green spot for many years. His works, present to us on all sides, will be his most fitting monument.

PRAIRIE CHICKENS.

TERRE/ ./HAUTE SPORTSMEN TO THE FRONT! On yesterday the strong arm of the law ceased to lend its protection to the Illinois prairie chicken, and this morning a number of gentlemen started out in quest of game and fun.

There is some dispute among parties as to whether the time really expires on the 15th of August as formerly. The GAZETTE has questioned Commissioner Jordan, who is well informed on such light topics, and he says that the law in Illinois remains as before, but that in Indiana, the protection is continued until the first of October.

The following parties are known to have gone: Messrs Dick Treinarv, Jno. W. Sensensenv, Will Tuell, U. R. Jeffers, Deming. and fid Henderson.

GRANGE MEETING.

NATIONAL MEETING TO BE HELD If ERE.

Arrangements are being made to hold the annual grand meeting of the western department of the Grange order, in this city in a short time. This will bring an immense number of farmers and visitors to this city. Business of great importance will be transacted by them owing to the late raiiroad troubles. Their selection of this city showed excellent judgement, and was a compliment to us.

THE Red Men's Chicago excursion on the iSjh will be a great attraction. The excursionists can either leave on the morning or evening trains. The evening traife will have two sleepers attached. The route will be over the E. T. H. & C. Ry.

THE late Chauncey Rose never sough office. He would not attend meetings any kidd and would under no condition accept nomination., He did, however, serve as councilman for one term many years ago. Mr. Harry Rose was also in the cpuncil at fhe same time. [,

THE work on the rivei bridge draw will be entirely dene by next Friday. Contractor Jabez Smith has made a splendid job ot it. All the heavy timbers are already in, and the work of laying the floor xs commenced.

Mrs. Cunningham, the sylph-like consort of J. ^Cunningham, keeper ot the Bull Pen on First street, not by any means unknown to fame, called on The GAZETTE this morning. She takes exceptions to the card of Osgood, the chimney sweep, published a few days since in which he said he would not associate with Sappenfield and Claiidge.

She desired that corrections be made in the text, if misspelled, by the, GAZETTE, but at the risk of offending her The GAZETTE does not make them The original is so terse, particularly with reference to the "gablars which gabbeld," that cant be improved on Here it is:

KILLED BY A TRAIN. An incoming train on the Vandalia road, about

o'clock yesterday morn

ing, struck a man near the Eagle creek bridge, inflicting injuries which will doubtless prove ratal. He was brought to the city and sent to the surgical institute, and from thence to the city hospital. He was poorly dressed, is about five teet. ten inches in height, and

years

of age, with dark hair and scanty brown beard and mustache. He had no money or any thing about him to establish his identity. Two potatoes and an ear of corn, with some car teals, were found in his pocket It is probable that he was a tramp. Dr. Ritier last evenins stated that he could not possibly recover, and probably would not survive until morning.—[Indianapolis Sentinel.

CHAPMAN'S dining-room, on Fourth street, opposite the market house, Terre Haute. Indiana, is becoming a popular place. At meal hours you will find his tables surrounded by merchants, lawyers, doctors,hucksters, clerks, ladies, men and boys—all partaking of his fine meals. Besides setting a fine table, he is the best baker in that city, as you will concede after eating a few loaves of his make. Remember, Fourth street, opposite the Market House.—[Casey Exponent.

A letter from the Black Hills savs. "The Indians are at their usual summer amusemen .8 ot killing and scalping. A great many of our men, and women too, have been scalped during the past month. I may be home by Christmas, if my boots hold out. It seems we are never again to have any good luck, for nothing we can do to give us a start. I have worked hard, fell off forty pounds in flesh, and now I am convinced that there is no money here for me."

THE alarm of fire, early this morning, was occasioned by a slight burning out at the corner of Fourth and Cherry streets. It commenced in the basement occupied by Agenz & Boggs bakers. The- flames got a good start and wete spreading to the upper stories when they were extinguished. Loss probabiy a hundred or a hundred and fifty dollars.

The reply frequently is. "Oh, I am well, with the exception of a cold." Most persons lightly regard a cold. Reader, do you know that a cola is one of the most dangerous of maladies?

(From Tuerday's GAZKTTC.)

The interest in the murder trial increases. Below is presented the latest: THE OMNIPRESENT INTERVIEW.

About

o'clock to-day a GAZETTEER

called at the county jail to see and learn what was going on at that centre of public ir.terest. Meeting our good-natured Sheriff, Mr. Carico, he directed the turnkey to unbolt the door and let the repor ter see the boys. The heavy bolts and bars were loosed and admission gained. The interior has a dark, gloomy and peculiar prison look, not calculated fo inspirit one with cheerfulness, while thro1 the grated door comes a sickening, fetidsmelling air very unwholesome and disagreeable. About a dozen unhappy mortals were found wandering about anxious and aimless, like some lost 60ul in Hades. Some were sitting down thinking loud laughing was heard overhead and on looking up three or four fellows were seen seated on the edge of the cell tier playing cai ds. One was the notorious scamp Sam Cauthorn, with nothing but his pants on, his brown hide showing up and assisting in making fhe room more gloomy by its darkness.

Flowers was observed sitting on the hot air pipes silent and with down cast looks, nervously ivorking his lingers. On being addressed he raised up quickly and approached the reporter A close examination showed that he is a well built and fair appearing man, standing five feet eight and one half inches weighs a trifle over

150

pounds has a very

sallow, somewhat tanned skin medium moustache, and full chin goatee of light brown color hair inclined to curl, rather close trimmed same color face rather stolid in appearance with hollow cheeks. He has not been 6haved for several days past. His eyes of a very light uull blue, and are very uneasy or uncertain in expression. His hands do not bear much evidence of hard work. He wore a sober colored striped flannel shirt, light grey pants, black sack coat, and good black felt hat. All was in pretty decent order.

The reporter by wav ot' introduction remarked: Well, Flowera, this is not a very elegant place for reception."

Flo mm—"No, but I have seen better and seen worse." In answer to inquiries, he continued:

I was twenty-eight years old a short time ago. I was born in Pender county, Tennessee. When quite young ir.y family moved to Kentucky, and lived there tew years then they moved to this 6tate the first year of the war living in several plsces. Came here to Terre Haute first about that time and afterward lived in Bushville Rush Co. There in

Company M. of the

I enlisted in

Indiana cavalry,

and served three full years. I was in several battles in Tennessee, Georgia and those states. I have lived here or right about here for twelve years off and on, and have driven a team. I have worked on farms some, chopped wood some and taken lots of such jobs whenever I conld get anything of them."

Reporter—Did you ever live in Illinois? Flowers—Well, yes, a short time

Rep.—Where? Flowers—Oh, several places. Rep.—Did you ever get into any scrape there?

Flowers—Me? No sir, n6ver. I came back here and went to work for a farmer named Henry Miller and got into a fuss with him fcbout a little affair and lie had me arrested and I got sent up f»r

years in the penitentiary at Jeffcrsonville Reporter—What was the "litt affair" that Miller had you arrested for?

Flowers—It was about a gun. They didn't use me fair at all. I used to see this Sheriff, Mr. Carico, very often when I was in the penitentiary.

Reporter—Did you see Rudifer while there? Flowers—Yes I saw him a good deal.

Rep.—Did you know him! Flowers—Yes, I was prettv well acquainted with him. He tried to escape three times while I was there.

Reporter—What about that affair you had a hand in of seizing a guard to help Rudiler escape? Flowers here paused awhile and then said! "Well,I guess we won't talk about that any more."

Reporter—Oh well, all right. Only you must know people are telling all sorts of stories about you in that affair and say you were the one to blame... and all such yarns."

Flowers—"They do Well I wasn t. The fact is Rudifer put up the job, and he got me and #0 others in the game to help him out, This is the way it was: He and I and a fellow named Johnny Ryan, and another one named Dudley managed to get together and stood ready when the guard came along, and all went for him and got him down, tied him tight, took his arms and things away, and kept him in the cell, one watched him while the others dug a hole in the wall, but before we could get out, other guards found us, and we were all locked up again and

the

guard was-untied. That was all

about

that. The guard wasn't hurt a bit." Reporter—When were you released?

Flowers—"I was released last March no, it was early in April, and went to one or two places near here, Rushville and

some other places. Finally I about the middle of April,

came here or towards

the last of that month. I had no money, butgmanaged to get a job for a week town.

Reporter—What was the work?" Flowers—"Oh, just a common job, not worth mentioning.

Reporter—Were you here about May 2nd? Flowers-When?

Reporter—May second. Flowers—Let see. yea I believe I was. Why?

R'eporter—Oh, nothing, only I wondered if you were. Flowers—Well I don't care any way what day I was here. I am all right. I got several jobs. Now and then, I worked for Fields awhile at corn planting and such work.

Reporter—Did you know Dr. Armstrong? Flowers—No never saw him. I was sitting on the bridge getting rested but didn't see him.

Reporter—Where were you shortly after sitting on the bridge. Flowers—I will tell that at the .j right. time, but not now."

Reporter:—That is the main question Where where you? "Fiowere:—I'll teH'em when I think best but not now."

Reporter:—Do you always cany a pistol? Flowers:—No, But have since I had that fuss I told about yesterday."

Here the conversation ended. Flowers stood and thought awhile then said. "Mr, they have got me in here on a charge I am innocent of this time, that is sure. I 'aint the man and I didn't do the thing they claim. I was down there, but I didn't do any wrong."

Here he went back and sat down and began his ceaseless uneasy working of his fingers and the reporter withdrew.

PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION. Contrary to expectation as published in last night's GAZETTE, the pfeliminaiy trial of William Flowers was held yesterday afternoon after the GAZKTTE had gone to press.

Dr. Stevenson testified the he had found the bodyM and that the bullet extracted corresponded to the one taken from Flowers'revolver.

JNO. ROGERS

a son of Romson Rogers, swore that he was going home on the night of the murder and saw Flowers sitting on the bridge on the poor farm road with a revolver bv his side. He indentified the prisoner and also the revolver.

Another boy who was with him, (bo^i are small) testified to like purport, w" MESSRS STACK AND FASIG testified as printed in yesterday's GA-

was him.self put on the stand at thi point. He swore that he did not see Dr. Armstrong on the fatal night at all. He was on his way to King's but stopped and sat on the bridge a shot time to rest himself. He afterward changed his mind about going to King's, and concluded to go to Mr. Woods. Tie didn't do this either but slept at night in Jackson's woods. He said he had seen young Rodgers on the bridge. He acknowledged haying the pistol, which he said he got from his uncle English to protect himself against a man named Bridgewater, who had threatened to kill him. He bought eight cartridges in town on Main street, (he don't know where), and loaded it.

The examination having concluded Col. Cookerly remanded him to jail to await the action of the Grand Jury. The next meetiog of this body will be on the 1st Monday of September.
