EXCURSIONISTS IN TROUBLE.

A Party of Terre Haute People Side Tracked in Chicago.

Chicago Times, Sunday: An excursiofl party to the northwest, under the direction of Benjamin Blanchard, composed largely of residents of Torre Haute, Ind., was organized some days ago. They came here on a special car Thursday, and last night were. enjoying the comforts of being side-tracked on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul tracks, in about as dark and dismal a place as could be found. The evening before their car had been hitched to the night train of the road in question, and rolled into the Union Depot, but upon the orders of the Pullman management it was detached and left standing there. Subsequently the car was drawn back to the side-trade with its freight, where it was found last evening by a reporter of the Times. Mr. Blanchard, when interviewed by a reporter of the Times, said that some months ago he contracted wiifa the Pullman Palace Car Company to have a private car constructed. The cost was to be $15, 0C0, and Mr Blanchard was to have the privilege of thirty days' trial before the jfiawtil payment should be made. On taking the car out for trial a first payment of $1500 was agreed upon. A few days ago thecal, wbioh is a luxurious one, was finished. Last Thursday Mr. Blanchard started from Terre Haiite with a of ladies and gentlemen well party knowz wn in Terre Haute society, their destination being Yellowstone Park, after which the party arranged to return home. On Monday last Mr. Blanehard sent a draft for $1,500 on a New York bank to the Pullman company, but on arriving here at 6 o'clock Thursday night, found that the draft had dot arrived, having presumably miscarried in the mails. Mr. Jewett, one of the superintendents of the Pullman company, called on Mr. Blanchard shortly after he arrived, for the purpose of ascertaining why the payment had not been made. The former explained that he had sent a draft for the necessary amount, and in its absence offered his check on a Chicago bank for $1*500, but as the gentleman who was to indorse the check was not known to Mr. Jewett, and as Mr. Blanchard knew no one whom Mr. Jewett knew who could indorse the check, it was agreed to postpone further arrangements until Monday morning, at which time Mr. Blanchard said be would pay the $1,500 in case the draft had not arrived.

Twenty-Seven Young Ladies Take the Veil Saturday.

Saturday—the Feast of the Assump tionof the Blessed Virgin—twentyseven young ladies took the veil at St Mary's of the Woods. The "retreat" closed on that day. There are three hundred sisters at St. Mary's, which is the mother house of the Sisters of Providence, all the time, and during the retreat, which begins right after the close of the school, there are about seven hundred. The taking of the veil is one of the prettiest of the many pretty ceremonies of the Catholic church and a very large crowd of visitors was present Saturday at the Institute to witness the exercises. Mons. Bessonies, Vicar a of he of Vincennefe,' was present and addressed the class and gave them the veU, in the absence of Bishop Chatard. Two young ladies from Terre Haute were among the class-Miss Katie Daily and Miss Ella Lynch, the latter the daughter of Mr. Daniel Lynch. Their religious names are Sister St. Zita and Sister Mdry Alodia. The assignments for the coming year were made Saturday by the Mother, and there are a number of changes from last year. Sister Eustel, the present Sister Superior at St. Joseph's Academy, will be transferred to Washington, Ind., and she will be succeeded here by Sister Josephine Theresa. There will be numerous other changes in the personnel of the teachers at St. Joseph's Academy.

THE NEW DIRECTORY.

A Very Handsome Volume Just Out.! C. O. Ebel & Co have reason to be proud of the new directory just issued. Itfls crowded from cover to cover with carefully collated information. Beside the list of names there is as stated in the introductory "a great deaf of information in regard to the city and county government, time of holding courts, church directory, incorporated companies, secret societies, ward boundaries, voting precincts and places of voting. Ebel & Co estimate the population, of the city at 32,000 based on the return of names. The book is handsomely printed and nicely bound.

Death of.Miss Florence Hargis. [To the GAZETTE:] Florence Hargis has gone to rest. Florence was loved and esteemed by all who knew her. She became a member of Fletcher chapel M. E. church in her ninth year and from that time until her death at 21 she was an earnest worker especially in the Sabbath school. She Med every office in the Sunday school from infant class teacher to superintendent She was an only daughter and sister and was therefore almost idolized by parents and brothers, and the church and community mourn her loss, but not as they who have no hope.

By one of her teachers. ^j

Disturbed the Camp Meeting." There was much interest taken in the colored camp meeting out at the fair grounds yesterday. John Tim was disorderly and he was brought to town by Special Policeman Cauthorn. The prisoner was discharged at police head quarters on promise to do better.

CECELIA DEVLIN.

A Very Wicked Female Who Needs a Taste of the Law.

Cecelia Michaels-Devlin seems determined to give Dr. James T. Laughead and his wife no rest, and last evening between seven and eight a'clock, in company with two other women, she made a Sunday evening call at the Ijaughead residence at 211 Chestnut street, making quite an unusual episode in that quiet neighborhood. The police were notified by telephone by Mrs. Laughead that Cecelia Devlin and her partners had been there and Abused her shamefully, and she asked that Cecelia be arrested and she would see that she was prosecuted. Offioers Early, Hyland, Murphy and Boll started for the Michael's establishment The inmates were saucy, and the police filled the place, arresting Emma Michaels for being the keeper, Cecelia Devlin, (her daughter) May Hudson and Maggie Riley for. being inmates and Chas. Watson for associate ing. They were all'in police court this morning before Justice Goldman. They appeared with Lawyer Harper, and the whole outfit pleaded not guilty. After the evidence was submitted, counsel for the defense set up absence of proof on a technical point. The court overruled that, however, and fined the keeper $10 and costs, the girls each $5 and costs and bound Watson over in the sum of $50 to the Circuit court. It seemsAbouc time that some measures ate being taken to suppress this Cecelia Devlin nuisance.

TESTIMONIAL.

The Lookabill Whip Fund. The general sentiment is that Noah Lockabill, the sturdy old Montgomery County farmer, did about the right thing when he gave those three burglarious tramps a hundred lashes each on their bare backs. It will do them more good than a term in-the penitentiary in a reformatory way. There will be no bothersome and expensive boarding them in jail and running to and fro getting a jury and witnesses, and long and expensive trials. It was all done up in the stillness of the night in his back yard, or it would have been still but for their howling. Doubtless the old fellow wore out his whip and he ought to have another one. It is proposed to get him a good, big, stout one, and send it to him. This will be an easy matter to do. The individual contributions ought to be for very small amounts so as to give more a chance to contribute. Unless they are small they will far exceed the requirements of the occasion. So far these contributions are: THE GAZETTE. 2 5 Cash 1 J. R. Osburn'. 1 R. Barlow 1 M. Merton 1 Cash 2 A sufferer 1

MRS. ELLIS.

Lockwood Says She Will Be Able to Walk IMJ Without Crutches or Cane. Dir. Link stated this morning that he had given Mrs. Ellis no medical attention since the 4th of July. "She often drives around with her husband and seems perfectly well and cheerful. Lockwood, the artificial limb maker, tells me he will make her a pair of limbs as soon as the muscles are strong enough with which she can walk without crutches or cane. It seems to me, though, that she will certainly have to use a cane."

It is said that Mr Lockwood has made several pairs of limbs for people who have had both legs amputated above the knee and that in all oases they have been satisfactory. ..

The Party Will Go On To stone And Ben Will Return From Paul.

After four days delay in Chicago from causes stated in the extract from the Chicago Times in yesterday's GAZETTE Ben Blanchard left with flying colors at nine o'clock last night via the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway.

Mr. A. H. Kildow states that Blanchard will not accompany the party further than St Paul but will send them on in his car and return from there to this city.

CHARLEY SCUDDER DROWNED

At Lake Maxinkuckee This Moraing.

He Was In Bathing Alone From a Skiff, A Quarter of a Mile From .Shore.

Body Not Recovered.

From Monday's daily.

At noon today a telegram to W. H* Scudder announced that his son Charlie had been drowned at Lake Maxinkuckee at 10 o'clock this morning and that, as yet, the body had not been recovered. Mr. Scudder had gone to Brazil and a message was sent after him* "FTifi brother Will had gone to Hillsdale and another message was also sent for him. The dispatch gave no further particulars.

Charley was a boy about sixteen years of age and worked in his fathers wholesale confectionery store in Dowling Hall block. He went to Maxinkuckee last Tuesday with the H. C. Douglass and Wm. Byers party of about thirty persons who are camping out there.

FURTHER PARTICULARS.

MARMONT, Ind., Aug. 17.—[GAZETTE Special.]—The boy who brought the telegraph message to the office here was so excited and dashed off so quick that nothing could be learned from him whether yonng Scudder had been drowned in the lake or a barrel. Hence the delay in sending particulars. It seems he was out bathing about 10 o'clock in the lake, not over a quarter of a mile from the shore. He was alone and had a skiff with him from which he dived into the lake. He was heard to call for help and several boats put out to his assistance. They were all too late, although one mnn got near enough to dive for the body which had gene down for the last time. Up to a late hour this afternoon though the lake has been dragged the body has not been recovered. The water is about 25 feet deep and very cold down at some depth, owing to the fact that the lake is fed by springs. Cramps probably seized young Scudder and caused his death

From Tuesday's daily

Last night V. G. Dickhout, who had gone as a friend of Mr. Scudder to Lake Maxinkuckee to endeavor to recover the body of his son Charley, telegraphed here that he thought a professional diver should be sent for from Chicago. There area number of these divers living in Chicago, who, with muzzle, make a business of going down any depth in the lakes to recover bodies or objects lost Mr. Scudder at once ordered the diver to be employed but before he arrived at the lake this morning the body was found near where it went down and raised to the surface with grab hooks. The remains were taken to the depot and will be brqpght down tonight on train No. 53 arriving here at S P. M.

Those who have ever been to the lake are familiar with the topography of its banks and will understand where the catastrophe occured when it is said that Charley rowed out from a little below Long Point opposite where the party was encamped under the trees. Some one remarked as he went out that he rowed very rapidly and for quite a distance and this exertion probably heated his body considerably. Where he dived the water is as cold as a well and he robably came np from a deep dive emimbajl and cramped and somewhat stunned. Instead of finding his boat ready to hand it was fifty or sixty feet away. It was light and as he jumped it was pushed a considerable distance from him.

Charley was quite a favorite here and in- the camp. When he first went to the lake he stopped at the hotel and meeting Mr. Jno. Hanley, whose family is with a party of campers, he asked if be might not join them as be thought it would be cheaper and pleasanter. He was told he might and when Mr. Hanley came 4pwn he told Mr. Scudder of it and the latter sent up the necessary bedding.

LAKE STEAMER SUNK.

Narrow Escape of Her Crew to New Haven. CHICAGO, August 19.—Captain Condon, of the steamship Oceanica, which arrived from Buffalo at a late hour last night, reported the loss of the steamship Jarvis Lord. The Lord was bound from St Ignace to Chicago with a load of iron ore. Monday morning, while passing the mountains she Bpruncr a leak and made water so rapidly that her pumps were useless. It was then decided to run her on the beach and sbe was put about and headed for Glen Haven. About 1 o'clock in the afternoon, when within two miles of Glen Haven, the steamer was abandoned and she sunk stern fast in about forty fathoms of water. The crew narrowly escaped with their lives, but succeeded in making Glen Haven in the small boats where they intend to take thepropelloi Lawrence for Chicago this morning. The Lord and her cargo are a total loss. She was built at Marine City in 18*32 and was owned by Moore and others of Cleveland. She measured 938 tons, rated at 2% and was valued at $32,000. She is said to be insured for 928,000 in the Hull pool.

STREET CAR'STRIKERS.

No Cars Running Today.

MEMPHIS, Tenn., Aug. 19.—The difficulty between the street car drivers and the officers of the Memphis city railroad company remains in statu quo. There are only two cars running on the Main street line, and all the cars on the other lines have been withdrawn. At a co ference held this morning the officers of the company agreed to restore wages to the former price of 123^ cents per hour but the striking drivers who are now being controlled by the Knights of Labor demand 13*4 ce^ts per hour. The President of the street car company says he will not pay more than 12% cents and claims that the municipal authorities are powerless to protect the property of the company. There have been no demonstrations on the part of the strikers and no attempt made to injure any of the property of the company.

DYNAMITE SCOUNDRELS-

They Blow Up the Steamer Felton. WILMINGTON, Del., Aug. 19.—Captain Wiley and Pilot Curry have been overhauling the plaster and other debris on the steamer Felton this morning, and have found a fragment of metal belonging to a oabba, a bunch of bright twisted wire, and a piece of tin, believed to have been the lid of a dynamite canister. Canisters to which such a lid would belong are one inch in diameter and three inches in length and it would require several of them to do the work of the explosion. The finding of the cabba clasp is considered as important as corroborating the statement of the colored passenger Hiram B. Miller, of Morrisville, N. J., that he saw a man whom he described, unhook the companion way door, place a cabba behind it, and rehook the door. Government Inspector Frank Hand and Master Machinist Callahan, examined the boiler this morning and found the tubes behind the indention bent inward, but sound and unbroken,

THE WABASH STRIKE.

It /Doesn't Go Off Just Right ST. LOUIS, Aug. 19.—The action of the national executive committee of the Knights of Labor, in issuing a general order to Knights employed upon roads west of the Mississippi, prohibiting |the handling or repairing of Wabash rolling, has been followed by no serious results today. Members of the Wabash committee, which is in session here, are of the opinion that the full force of the order mil not be felt by the railroads for several days yet

Telegrams have been received by them from different parts of the state, from branch assemblies of the national organization endorsing the issuance of the general order and indicating their intention to stand by it. Meetings of the Knights all over the west will be held as soon as the order is received by them and it is expected that concerted action will be taken by the 21st at the latest.

T. J. Russell, of Cn9 committee, says that the resolution calling for the impeachment of United States Judges Brewer, Treat and Krekel, will be carried out, if possible. Congressman Warner and General Palmer will draw up the articles of impeachment, which -will be introduced into Congress and pushed, with all the influence which the Knights can command. Trouble is expected at Kansas City shortly. A number of the yard and train men at that point are Knights and in obedience to yesterday's order, it is thought that they will refuse to handle Wabash cars, in consequence of which ail Wabash freight will be side tracked. ,f 1:30—There has been no delay to passenger trains so far and none seems to be apprehended immediately, although the order applies to passenger coaches as well as to freight cars and other rolling stock. Nor has there beqn,fuiy destruction of freight.
