AOOTIBATE WKATHBK RBTORT 8IHCB 1860. Lovers of accurate statistlea may consider themselves fortunate in the residence here of Mr. Lather G. Hager, a most genial, neefol and popular citizen, and the fact thatthis is aU. S. signal service station. Since Hon. R. W. Thompson became Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Hager has been the signal service officer here and previous to that time and for the greater part of his life, he has been interested ifi noting down the state of the weather. The following report prepared for Saturday's issue of the GAZETTE, but crowded out, shows the coldest days since 1860 nearly a quarter of a century. Thermometers vary and some will show much greater degrees of oold than indicated in this report but it is probable the signal service thermometer is most accurate. Beside the observations takeD, three times daily for many years from the same instrument are relatively.correct. It will be seen tbat the coldest day in the quarter century was Jan. 1st. 1864 the next Saturday an. 21st. 1883 and the winter which' reached the least severiiy was in 1869 wheh the thermometer never reached zero, but on the coldest day, December 23rd, was eight degrees above. The other winters with excessively cold days it will te seen were 1870, "72^ '73 '75, '79, and '80.

IS OPEftA HOUSE.'

The Opera House management have had a terrible time contending .with" tfe* cold weather. Though tremendous fires have heen kept Hp all the time, several coils of pijprti, two in the auditorium and one in a dressing room froze up tight Friday and burst. It was llierelort simply impossible to heat the place Saturday night in any satisfactory way. All day yesterday workmen were engaged in- repairing these damages, and there is evety reason to believe the building will be thor®ughly warm and comfortable by tomorrow night. Indeed it would have been warm- Saturday night but for the pipes, as alreadj stated, having burst, and thus diminishing the heating capacity ot the apparatus. It is safe to say that with very few exceptions, every house and business establishment in the city found its heating apparatus insufficient when the thermometer sank lower than it has ever done within the knowledge of half the population ot' Terre Haute. The indications now are for warmer weather, aud with the bursted pipes fixed up, the house will be all richt and as warm as a toast to-morrow ni-ht.

of Anderson, Ind., whose body was found in a ravine in Sugar Creek township last

October, sent word to ex-Chief of Police Bd. Vandever by Jailor Den Early that, he wanted to see him. To Vandever, Manis said the murde.r was about fastened on him that he thought there was sufficient evidence to convict him, but that there were three others implicated with him in it—two men and a woman. One of the men, he said, lived near T«.rre Haute and the other lived in Anderson, but was a traveling man. The woman in the case, he said, lived at Noblesville Ind. He represented to Vandever that,

ihat wouM fasten the guilt on them and mt with the letters he had hid a sum of money. Yaudever told Manis that Sheriff Cleary bad been engaged with him all along io working up the case and that he desired that any statements Mania wanted to make be made also in the presence of Cleary. To this Manis absented, and Cleary was sent for, and on the 6ame day (last Friday afternoon),

letters and money to them. The officers tried lo get him to giv them the names of the parties l:e thus implicated ia the crime, but Manis sai'.i tbe letters when found would explaifi everything. He wanted it to appear that tbe letters had come

Tbe officers doubled tbe genuineness of Manis' story and the motives which inspired it, but tbey were willing to follow it up and see whet he was about. Accordingly, with the greatest secrecy that could be preserved, Manis, io company with Sheriff Cleary and Mr. Vandever, left here at 1 :o51\ M. vest'-Tdav over the Vandalia road and '4AKH1VE"0 AT NOllLRHVliXK af 10 o'clock last night. Noblesville is aboui 20 miles north of Indianapolis,and something over ninety miles from Terre Haute. It is the county seat or Hamilton county and has between 2.000 and 3,000 inhabitants.
