FIRE.

Barn Burned at Prairieton.

The barn belonging to Mrs. Jane Pritchard, on her farm a mile this side of Prairieton, was burned Wednesday morning. Fire was first noticed about 1 o'clock.

There was also some harmless and farm machinery. Seven hundred bushels of corn and a quantity of hay were also destroyed. The total loss will exceed $1,000. There was only $200 insurance on the barn and a small amount on the contents the aggregate not nearly reaching the loss.

OBITUARY.

From Monday's daily.

I JOSEPH H. BLAKE JR. The good die earliest And ithey whose hearts are dry summer's

I dtast, .. fiaro to the sockets. Hie death of "Jodie" Blake, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph H. Blake, on Saturday night was one of those dreadfully, painful events which is rendered more acute by its alarming suddenness, He returned almost a week before from Lake Maxinkuckee where he visited his aunt, Mrs. Joseph Strong, in his usual good health and so grreatly enjoyed the stay that he looked forward to an other visit this week. For a day or two the latter part of the week he was in a little discomfort with his stomach but the malady was not thought, either by himself, his parents or his physician, Dr. Waters, to be of any consequence. Saturday afternoon about six however, he was taken worse and died at eleveh of paralysis of the heart. He was fifteen years of age, a remarkably handsome, fair-complex-ioned youth of most winsome manners and a disposition lovely in its gentleness and warm affection. Ho was a manly boy, not. the least effeminate, though not physically rugged, but ho was singularly free from the inconsiderate, thoughtless roughness of most boys of his age. His mother had often said he had never given her the slightest trouble. It is needless to say that such a boy was idolized by his parents and loved by all who knew him and that there are no mere words which can condole for his untimely taking off. .j

FRANK L. BALL.

Another sudden death, though not so unexpected as Jodie Blake's, was that of Frank L. Ball, only surviving son of Mr B. L. Ball. He had been sick for about two weeks and died yesterday shortly afternoon. He was twenty-two years old. Those who knew him when clerking at Godecke's book store remember his good manners and gentlemanly bearing. Everyone liked him. Though his health was somewhat delicate it never served to make him peevish nor to sour the natural sweetness of his amiable disposition.

His funeral will take place tomorrow. WM. HAMMAN.. U,r Wm. Hamman, an old and wellknown citizen, died Saturday evening at 7:30 in the sixty-fourth year of his age, after along and painful illness. The deceased had been a resident of Terre Haute for thirty years, and was at one time city marshal. He was a carpenter by trade. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon from the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Ann Lockey, 918 north Sixth-and-a-half street.

MISS EW JOYCE.

Yesterday afternoon Miss Eva Joyce was buried from St. Patrick's church. She suffered through along and terrible illness with the most touching chrisfortitude and resignation. She was greatly beloved by all who knew her and her mother and sister have the sympathy of a large circle of friends."

In Hart luck.

Jno. McFall keeps his temper admirably under the hardest luck. Not long ago he had a large number of hogs die on his farm and a week or so back five flue steers, worth $65 apiece, were struck by lightning. "I can't help thinking that the wire fence was the cause of it" said Mr. McFall, speaking of the occurrence, "There is one strand of barbed wire on my fenco and steers were walking along about two rods apart in a path alongside the fence and all dropped in their tracks./ "Did you slaughter them?" "No, I lost every thing but their hides, though they hadn't a scar.

This is a matter for interesting inquiry. Why isn't a steer, killed by a stroke of lightning, as good to eat as one killed by an ax in a butcher's pen?

Besides the above, since the first, of April, McFall has lost two other head of c&ttle and last week his favorite riding mare died as related in the GAZETTE at the time. Mc. thinks he has had enough ill-fortune to do him for several years.

SHE STOLE A CHILD.

The Queer Freak of a Colored Woman. PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 12.—The detectives remained at Chester all night and succeeded in establishing beyond doubt the fact that Ellen Darien is the abductress of the Claxton child and are unravelling her motive for the crime. She was married about four years ago to Wm. H. Darien in Germantown. and on March 27th, 1882. her husband who had found her unfaithful left her. Sinoe that she has constantly been endeavoring to bring her husband back to her or to get him to support her. On one occasion she obtained a photograph of a colored infant, showed it to him and declared that he would be compelled to provide for its support. Her attempt failed and she then decided to steal a child and force her husband to acknowledge its paternity. On the morning of

July 11th she left Wilmington and began a search for a mulatto baby to palm off as her child. She saw the Claxton infant in a coach at Eighth and Catherine streets of this city and seeing a favorable chance took it away. Darien works in Chester driving a wagon and when Ellen reached home she at once began to represent the child as her oWn. She said she had come to her mothers house in this city where it had been ever since its birth and gotten it. A few days after reaching home she went before Alderman Allen,of Chester and made an affidavit that her husband Darien was the father of the child. •iit

Will Make Steel Nails.

The Terre Haute Nail Works has decided to manufacture steel nails. The puddlers were all given their discharges last Saturday afternoon. Over 175 men are thus thrown out of employment, including puddlers, helpers, rollers, and a large number of workmen employed in the yarcL- cv

E A S E

THE CHANGE.

President Nippert conversed freely with a GAZETTE reporter in regard to this change, which though contemplated for some time came much sooner than expected. Said he: "We have tought the steel nail from the beginning, but to no avail. The market wants nothing now but steel nails and we must give them steel nails. We have had our trade taken away from us for months by eastern mills which are making the steel naiL" "The novelty of the steel nail is what makes it take on a dull market," remarked Secretarv Bridwell, "but I think the steel nail has come to stay." "It is only an experiment as yet," continued Mr. Nippert. "It will be either all steel nails or all iron nails, I think. Whichever succeeds we will be in a shape to meet the demand."

yi The Colored Miners.

James Finley (colored), of thfe city, is in town called by the sickness with typhoid fever of his daughter Hattie. He is now mining for the Parke Co. Block Coal Co. at Bosedale. It was his partner, Pat Marshall, who was killed by the "cage" as described in a special telp^ram to the GAZETTE last night. Jim says the business is new to him but he is able to get out about five tons per day, which, at the present, scale, 60cts, is $3 per day, from which must be deducted about 20cts for powder and oiL He says the colored miners from Lynchburg, Yd., are great hands to sing and dance and that they keep it up nearly all night. V«\

An Exchange of Courtesies.

The police force of the city surprised their mend, Mrs. Wm. Scholz, last evening at her residence south of the city. They see a great deal of each other, Mrs. Scholz having a vegetable and ilower stand in the market house, and there have been frequent interchanges of courtesies between them, Mrs. S. having presented them with buttonhole bouquets. Last evening a delegation of five policemen, representing the whole force and headed by Capt Vandever, went to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Scholz and presented Mrs. S. with a handsome plush covered rocking chair. Mrs. Scholz thinks it the finest piece of furniture in the city and is very grateful to the donors, whom she desires through the medium of the GAZETTE to thank for their courtesy. .c.™

THE DILKE SCANDAL. *Vl

The True Story of the London Scandal. London special: The alleged true inwardness of the Dilke scandal is thus told by the London correspondent of a New York newspaper: "Divers stories are current as to how the intrigue was discovered. The report accepted in the inner Liberal circle is that the intimacy began two years ago, when Virginia Mary Crawford, then only eighteen, and a young lady of great beauty and fascination, was accustomed to visit Sir Charles at his town house at Cadogan Place, in company with her sister, Mrs. Ashton Dilke. This was before her marriage to Mr. Crawford, and before the death of Mr. Ashton Dilke but the visits Were continued after her marriage. The domestics suspected nothing unusual of these Visits, the lady being a relative of the Baronet, and they were frequently repeated until a few weeks ago, when Mrs. Crawford, entering the drawin fir-room unannounced, as was her wont, w«is horrified to surprise Sir Charles in the act of entertaining a lady visitor. Mrs. Crawford's jealousy was at one aroused. Recriminations took place, and a passionate scene ensued, the lady bursting into tears and flinging out of the house in a hysterical condition. Arrrived at home, she found it impossible to avoid the explanation demanded by the outraged husband, and she made a partial confession, accompanied by charges against Dilke of betraying her before her marriage to Crawford.. Her relatives tried to persuade Crawford that the confession was merely the result of hysterics, but a search in the lady's rooms discovered a suggestive correspondence, which left no doubt that the confession was too well-grounded.

'.J'" FAIR NOTES.

Jacob Henn, the Edigar county stock raiser, passed through here today for New Ross with three car loads of hogs.

BAYCITT, Mich., Aug. 12.—This: morning about nine o'clock a telephonedispatch was received by Sheriff Brennan stating that the strikers had forcibly shut down Carrier, Heathe & Co.'s salt block and asking assistance.

He proceeded to talk to them,but they refused to disperse,.,, whereupon he undertook to arrest one of*' men whom he thonght was a leader. The strikers interfere 1 and for some* minutes great disorder reigned. Clubs and edgings were drawn and' used oik the offioers and they pulled revolvers.
