S'aub Discnarged. From Saturday's Dally.

The grand jury having reported thai they failed to find a true bill against Agustue G. Staub, the maa who cut up James Taylor an Ohio street saloon Tuesday afternoon, the prisoner was rereleased from further custody yesterday ev«nin^, and again breathes the pure, fresh air liberty. The tacts in the case were such that it was extremely doubtful if a successful prosecution eould be made, and that tact induced the graud jury to forego returning an indictment, which would necessitate a trial and consequent expense on the coui ty. Taylor's injuries were all flesh wounds and he is almost as well again as ever.

HICHARD WATSOW, whose larm is two miles north of Middletown, in Prairie Creek township, raised twenty acres of yellow corn tbis year. From some specimen ears he left at the GAZETTE office, which all our subscribers and others aie invited to stop in and see when they are in the city, it is evident that this field was r.ot hurt by the drouth. Mr. Watson expect.-- it will go sixty bushels to the acre. The ears are unusually Jarge and fine. Any tarmers hhving anything unusually flue in the way of atricnluiral products ran give their neighbors and frimds all ov«rthe country an opportunity ot seeing them, by leaving ihrm for a week so at the GAZETTE office, which has become a sort ot Farmers' Exchanee.

A Witness Fainta on the Stand in the Circuit Court Room.

From Thursday's Dally.

Yesterday evening about 5 o'clock a sensational episode occured in the Circuit Court room, the case of Mays tt a! vs Hedges et si being on trial at the time. The case is a very important one and and has been unusually sharply cootested by both sides. The plaintiff was engaged in offering rebuttal testimony. An eld gentleman named David McNabney, from Linton township, had been introduced as an impeaching witness, and was "cornered," as the lawyers would say, in a severe cross-examination by Judge McNutt, one of the attorneys fcr the "defense, when the old man fainted dead away in the witness chair. The occurrence created considerable excite ment in the court room. Dr. H.W. Taylor, who was present and gave McNabney his attention, states that he had an epileptiform convulsion and that the heart ceased to beat for a minute. It was fully fifteen minutes before Mc-

Nabney had fully recovered.

COUNTY SCHOOL BOARDS.

Can't Adjourn Une Die and Then Re assemble. Ilnn.J. \V. Holcomb, Superintendent of Public Instruction, submitted the following communication yesterday te Attorney General Hord: "It is claimed by some persons that Section 4,436 of the Revised Statutes, 1881, is directory only as to the time or times of meeting of the County Board of Education, can meet oftener than as directed by said statute. Can a County Board of Education, when it has met on tbe 1st day ofSep'ember, and tbe change of text books was then and there determined, and the board ad journed sine die, again, assemble before the 1st day of May tberealter and reconsider its acion?" In answer thereto, tbe Attorney General holds, in substance, tbRt tbe law provides for the assembling of tbe County Board on the 1st days oi May and September. The board having met on the 1st ot September they would have a rigbt, he thinRs, to adjourn from day to day until the business before tbem was completed. But if they hive adjourned sine die, they would not have a right to meet any more until tbe 1st day of May

The

Paper

Mill.

From Thursday's Daily.

Speaking to one of the gentlemen who ha9taken the paper mill project actively in band to-day he said there would be an informal meeting to report the progress thusfar. Briefly, M. T. Close & Co will locate here if ten or twelve acres of land are donated and a stock company ot $75,000 is organized. Ot this stock Mr Close and his partner, Mr. Callahar, a wealthy banker, of Davtonj Ohio, will take $50,000, leaving $25,000 in stock to be subscribed by parties here. The gentleman whom the GAZETTE representative interviewed said that he and associates would take the necessary stock if the citizens would secure the ground, or they would doaate the ground if the citizens would take the $25,000, in stock, but to do both would be rather onerona for theui.

In an interview with Mr. Holmes, superintendent of tne new Bramble Lock Works, about whether they would import employes, he said to an Express reporter: "No, there are plenty of peopfc in this manufacturing town who can do our nsork. Besides we believe in employing home labor If we brought people from the east many of them would doubtless be dissatisfied and return Besides much of the work is light and can be doDe by young people. "In this kind of work we seldom employ pec pie over forty years of age, as we find young people better adapted to the business.

The Greenbackers in Council. Tbe execnth committee of the nation" al Greeuback party of ladiana, togethber with about thirty members of tbe party from different parts of the State held an informal consultation over the political outlook at Indianapolis yesterday. It was agreed to hold a Greenback State convention in Indiauapo'is, on tbe 22dof next February, at which a full State ticket will be placed in tbe fisld. The meeting yesterday was called by Dr. Leonard, of Logansport, chairman of of the committee, and no business of importance was transacted.

A Good Chance for Some OnePresident James H. Smart, of Purdue University, Lafayette, writes to County Auditor Gnmrs that Yigo county has no representatives in that college.

The Joab Baby Again Looms Up in a Sensational Kidnaping case.

In Which the Kidnaping Fart of the case Falls Through.

From Wednesday's Dally.

George C. Joab, who is a brother ot M. M. Joab, says that yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock an attempt was made t» kidnap the child in controversy between Mrs. Sheets and his brother, which was then in the keeping ot his wife at his residence seven miles west of the city on the National road. Mr. Joab says he was harrowing near his house with a team at the time. His wife and a neighbor womaa named Mrs. George Fogel were at the house. A man whom Mrs. Joab did not know came around to the back door. She asked him what he wanted, and he aaked for a drink of water. Mrs Joab asked Mrs. Fogel to get the gentleman a drink, which she did. The man took a drink or two, handed back the cup or gla3s which he had used, and suddenly

MADE A DASH

for Mrs. Joab, who was standing in the doorway with the baby in her arms. Tbe man caught Mrs. Joab around the waist and made an effort to lake the child out of her arms. She resitted, and the two struggled quite a while, he ail the while exclaiming that s!ie had hotter let go of the baby. Mr. Joab heard the cries ot hie wife for help aud ran to the scene of action. Mr. Joab says when tue man saw him coming he released his grasp ou the child and Mrs. Joab, and turned and ran backwards toward tiu gate,

DRAWING A REVOLVER

and holding it out at Joab as he went Vlr. Joab says Mrs Shee was in a ravine in the road a short distance from thfe house with the buggy, and that she met the man who bad just tried to get possession ot the biby at the gate. Mrs. Joab had taken the child in the house, when Mrs. Sheets and her escort, according to Mr. Joab, advanced np to the house from the gate, each having out a levolver, and that they demanded the cbiid, but that after considerable parleying they left without having accomplished the object of the visit.

Mr. Joab says they have been expect ing something of the kind and that they were prepared for it.

The name oi the man who accompanied Mrs. Sheets could not be learned, and the GAZETTE representative was led to believe from the conversation that there was an object iu keeping it concealed

jr.

The Board accepted the resignation of Prof. IJli F. Brown, and elected Prof, Jenkins to the chair of science thus vacated. Prof. Brown's resignation, it will be remembered, was brought about by a resolution requiring all members of the faculty to reside in this city, Prof Brown having removed to Indianapolis to connect himself with an educational weekly of that city.

The appointment of Mrs. Lucy Svlm 11 to department ot history wss confirmed. While in the city the Trustees visited Pres. W. R.

The following is a list of cases as far as they have been set down for trial in the Circuit court:

TEA POT TEMPEST

The Fire in the Union Pacific Tea Store L^ast Night. 1

What the Loss Will Be—Tbe Incidents—Second Alarm, Etc.

The loss to the building, owned by the Ludowici's, is also considerable, in paper plastering, etc. ,,

THE ORIGIN.

How the fire originated is a mystery explained only by the supposition that sparks fell from the stove into a hogshead of straw some distance to the rear oi it. Ihere was a fire in the stove yesterday but at night when the ttoie was closed the stove doors were all closed. Just to th rear of the stove a packing room is partitioned off which, like all such rooms was necessarily full of combustible materials. Thi9 room is also under the back stair way running up to the dining room of the hotel and if the fire had gained a little more headway this stair way would have acted as avdangi rous flue.

The fire, once started, caugh onto the pretty Japanese parasols with which almost the entire ceiling was attractively decorated aod this raused most of the •sudden heat and dense smoke. The amoke spread over the whole hotel and issued from many of the ^jixth street windows, so that when A. B. Salsich whose room is next to the office of the A.' O. U. W stuc^hii head out of his window in Beach lilock, he thought the whole hotel Oil fire and fearing that Beach Block would also go he packed up the lodge books and strapped them together with a shawl strap, ready for any emergency.

THE EST5.

No one was hurt among the guests, but there was certainly a scattermcnt that, now it is all over, was quite laughable. There were between forty or fifty guests in the house, all of whom got out with an alacrity worthy of firemen. The help in the house were among the first out. Tney tell a funny story on Anna Row. When she came flying down the ball in ber night gown, Jonathan Mills' portly form, also thinly clad in a night gown, startled her. "Get away, get away" she shouted "the rest of the girls are coming." "I never want to see another fire in a hotel" said Will Athon, the day clerk, although the fire last night was amusing in some respects. One old couple got out of their room with their tiunks into tbe hall way and were so overcome with sleep that they sat down on their trnn ks and were found there afterward fast asleep." "Did the guests go back to bed soon "Oh, yes, all but oue. He was scared and went down to the Terre Haute House. Two men arrived while the house was full ol smoke and before the fire was fairly out, and wanted rooms. I told them they had better wait awhile but they said they weren't airaid and went upstairs and to bed. Almost every one had retired and gone to sleep when the second alarm was turn in."

All the guests, nearly,

zZ if/1 'f. .i' Under the National House and Doable Scare to the Guests p/*

From Wednesday Daily.

At ten minutes past two o'clock last night a boy who was putting out the gas lights over town discovered a fire in the Union Pacific teastore room at 527 Main street, in the National House building. He ran around to Chris Postlewaite, night clerk at the hotel, and told him of it. Chris lost no time in seeing if tiie fire amounted to anything worth an alarm to the guests. When he got in front the heat within was so intense that the plate glass front was already cracking and dense volumes of smoke were issuing from the cracks. He at once turned in the alarm and notified the guests. When the department arrived there was every indication of a big blaze and streams were turned oa to drown out the fire. In a lew minutes persons acquainted with the construction of the building, aod tbe position of the wooden partition at the rear, among whom was Will White, who rooms over his restaurant, informed the chief of a back door, through which the fire could be belter reached. The door was locked, but it was promptly knocked in and the flames happily, extinguished beiore any very serious damage was done. It was all done so quickly that the fire was out before Mr. Ha) ward, the manager of the store, got down.. The damage is principally lrom water, the roast coffees particularly being injured in this 'way. Green coffees can be dried aud roasted without much loss Ot course Mr. H. can form no estimate of the loss yit, a large number of presents which the company gives with its sales being broken, damaged or totally destroyed. He thinks the loss will be about $1,200. The insurance was placed in New York, wbere the headquarters of the Union Pacific Tea Co. are, and he does not know the amount. He has telegraphed to 'he company for instructions and an adjuster.

seeing that all was right went at tet to his room and retired. At about three o'clock the fire was discovered commg through the floo/ in ihe dining room immediately abo?e. and the departmeni was oalled out again. There is hose on the second and third floors of the hotel aod attachments were made and the guests assisted in putting out the second blaze, which really threatened to be more serious than the first. The guests were all routed out the second time and tew of these got much more sleep during the nighty

FIBB ESCAPE.

"We are going to put in

different plans fir some time and had almost decided to adipt the system in use in the Fremont House, Chicago." "Describe it" asked the scribe.

It consists ot an iron pipe, on one aid, through which water can be oonducted ftom the inside to each flooi with attachments lor all parts of the house and on the other side a ladder, furnishf ing from each window the means of descent to Ihe street in case the stairways become dangeious. We have, beside, two stairways, a front and back and under now on two of the floors. "Cannot burglars enter the rooms in the summer time when tne windows are open by the same stairway intended tor fire escape?" "No, because tbe ladder will not come nearer than ten or twelve feet to the ground. Guests can drop that distance without injury or lad, ders can be put up for them by 'the department." ''What will it cost?" "We do not know, but the system will require a good deal of money. All hotels will have to put in fire escapcs before the 1 of November."

TQUEERCASE.,.

."W/*

An anonymous letter was received re-. cently by Chief of Police Fasig calling his attention to tbe fact that a widow woman who Jived on north Third street, was compelling her fourteen-year-old "-V1 daughter to lead a life of shame. The letter was written and spelled poorly, and the signature to it was "A Married Lady." Tbe letter stated that the woman in question came here recently from Sullivan, where she is related to some of the best families, and that the other day her daughter asked a man to get her a home among respectable people, to which the old lady had stated that her daughter should not go, and that the mother, whom the letter irreverently styled "the' old hag," had told tier daughter in the ,* presence of witnesses that she bad to stay and make her a living, as she had done since she came to Terre Haute.

Chief Fasig set about to investigate the case and with the assistance of Detective Dwyer found that the parties in question lived at No. Ill north Third street, east side. The uirl is quite fleshy and good looking. The mother's name is Mrs. Ellen Hice and her daughter's name is Emma Hice. Mrs.Hice says her daughter is eighteen years old, but she does not look it, though her conduct and talk gives evidence that she is a good way along on the road to ruin.

Mrs. Hice and her daughter were both taken to police headquarters this mornine. The girl was at'ired in a bright re5 diess She denied that her mother had induced ber to choose a life of shame. Mrs. Hice, a little tfqman wiih a troubled look, said the latter must have been written by some person who didn't like. tbem up in the neighborhood where they lived. She denied that there had been men visiting her house for immoral purposes, bhe had recently come from Sullivan, she said, aud she cried when she told liow her relatives, who were well off down there, had treated them. She has a brother named Wil- a a W a a a Sullivan, whom she says once itfused her credit for a quarter's worth of goods,5 and she has another brother named Jeptha Whitman at Vincennes.

Referring no doubt to her own case, Mrs. Hice said: "People don't know\ what they will do when they are driven to it" She said she had gone several times to the poor house and that her brothers had never made any attempt to aid her. Chief Fasig talked kindly to the mother and her daughter, but stated to them emphatically that the work they have been carrying on must ba stopped or they wou be landed in jail. The police learned enough of the case to know that the charge is true and that hack drivers have lieen taking men up there for immoral purposes. They were dismissed with a caution.
