v* *A Surprise.

Pierson Township Institute. The teachers of Pierson township met in institute Saturday the 17 inst. with Trustee Furguson in the chair. The *. teachers proceeded to the discussion of the October work of the program as laid down by the State Board. The discussion of this subject took until 4 p. M., excepting perhaps about an hour and a half, which was devoted to the setting out and dispensing with a most excellent dinner. There were several parents and students present and all seemed to enjoy the occasion very much. Institutes will hereafter be on the second Saturday of each month.

Visiting teachers are not only welcome but solicited.

A Good Jury.

In the 6ourt column of the GAZETTE recently an article appeared censuring the jury in the Cole-Brewster bastardy case for the verdict rendered in that suit. Judge Mack and the court officials say the jury was one of the best and most conscientious body of men that has ocoupied the jury box for some time that the members, without exception, paid the closest attention to the evidence and that they were painstaking and persevering in their efforts to get at the bottom of an unusually intricate case* The GAZETTE can also testify to these facte. The present panel jury is one of the best body of citizens. Judge Mack iiM had in his court for some days.

Bertha Gets a Home/

A girl baby with a note pinned to its clothing saying its name was Bertha and that it was of respectable parents was left on Dr. Pence's door step Saturday night. A basket filled with clothing •was nearby. Its cries attracted attention and it was taken in. Yesterday the child was given to a woman living in the east end of the city. She is a married woman without children and took it to raise. There were several persons after the child, one being a doctor's wife from Brazil. .»i,

Aunt ^al!y Canady," "lives five miles south of the city. Oct. the 20th, 1885 was her 80th birthday and she met with a happy surprise from her old friends and relatives who gathered there and partook of a sumptuous dinner, such as the ladies of Honey Creek know how to prepare. After spending several hours in social intercourse with each other they departed to their several homes, hoping that this aged mother might still be spared many more years an a blessing tq her family and a com* forter to her friends. She was born in Virginia in 1805 and is numbered among Indiana's oldest settlers.

^Yellow Fever Prevented. The engineers of the Central Railroad says: ''Though exposed to the worst miasmatio influences, going in and. coming out of Savannah at different hours of the night, and also in spending entire nights in the city during the prevalence of the yellow fever epidemic of 1874, with but the single exception of one of us (who was taken sick, but speedily recovered) we continued in our usual good health—a circumstance we can account for in no other way but by the effect, under Providenoe, cf the habitual and continued use af Simmons Liver Regulator while we were exposed to this malaria."

This morning a daily paper announced that Blanchard was in town last night and that he said he would give himself up this morning. Up to noon, however, he had not done so. In the meantime the police were keeping a sharp lookout for him. Superintendent Lawlor said it was not true that he eaid if Blanchard was arrested last night he would make him stay in jail all night He said he could not prevent him from getting bail.

The charge in Justice Goldman's court reads as follows: State of Indiana

Who are the Losers.

It is pretty hard to tell who are the losers. Many who have been caught for small amounts are ashamed of their credulity and deny it and of course many losses are exaggerated in the street rumors. It is said, however, that Blanchard owes Mrs. Brownlee between 315,000 and $20,000 Dr. Willing $17,000 a Paris party $.7, 000 and another minister at Chicago a large sum. There are many others in the city, mentioned in the street reports as losers in sums from $500 to $5,000 each. Most of them hold certificates, and some of these deeds for Kansas lands which may, or may not, be good. Blanchard's real estate in the west is pretty heavily mortgaged, and it is not likely there will be anything left, after a foroed sale, so that the unsecured creditors, among whom are all his clerks and employes, and dealers about town, will lose everything. He has been so hard up lately that a few dayB ago he pawned his sister's ring to Ed. Owens for $20.

From Saturday's Daily.

A little after 5 p. M. yesterday John C. Paddock, who lives on Osborn street in the lower end of town, 6wore out warrant in Justice Goldman's court for the arrest of Benjamin Blanchard, the well-known real estate agent. The charge was the embezzlement of funds placed in his hands to invest in Kansas land. There being no constable at hand Justice Goldman swore in Superintendent Lawlor as a special constable to serye the warrant. Hearing that Blanchard had procured a horse and buggy and in company with a friend had driven up to the Otter Creek station, intending to board the train there for Chicago, Superintendent Lawlor went up on the C. & E. I. road as far as Danville last night, but could find no trace of Blanchaid. The report of Blanchard's departure was incorrect.

County of Vigo,

John C. Paddock upon oath swears that he employed Beujamin Blanchard on the 31st of July, 1885, to purchase land in Finney county", Kansas, and placed in said Benjamin Blanchard's hands notes secured by mortgage to the amount of $1,740 to purchase said land that while said Benjamin' Blanchard was so employed and in the possession of

Baid

notes, amounting to #1,740, to

the posseesion of which said John O. Paddock was entitled, the aaid_ Blanchard did felonously appropriate to bis own UBA the said notes, amounting to $1,740, contrary to the form of the statute made and provided, and against the peace and dignity of the state of Indiana

JOHN C. PADDOCK.

Subscribed and sworn to before me by John C. Padlock this 16th day of October, 1885. DAVID GOLDMAN. J. P.

Mr. Paddock was seen at police headquarters this morning. He fonnerly ran a saloon down on the Priairieton road just outside the city limits. He said the complaint set out all the facts there were in the case. He was persuaded by friends to invest with Blanchard in Kansas land. They told him it would be a good investment. Blanchard took him out to Finney county in May last and he saw the land which Blanchard represented he had the selling of. It was good land. Blanchard gave him a certificate of purchase and said he would give him the deed in due time. He has never done the latter and has kept constantly putting him off. It was his opinion that Blanchard had never purchased afoot of land for him. Two weeks ago Blanchard said the deed would be here in forty-eight hours. Only part of the $1,740 was paid in cash. The rest was given in notes, secured by a little farm he had. He learned that Blanchard had negotiated these notes and that they are now in the possession of a prominent Main street business man. Mr. Paddock said he was told there were many others who were in the same fix as himself.

That "Big Deal."

For a couple of months Blanchard has held the most importunate of his creditors at bay with the promise that he would soon have enough money from a big transaction in which he and C. E. Hosford were interested in Mexico, to pay them in full. This sale of land was said to be to English capitalists for about two million of dollars, out of which Blanchard's share of the commissions would amount to between 880,000 and $100,000.

As his household effects belong to his mother and his office fixtures to his clerk there was no use to sue him and so creditors waited on the "big deal in Mexico" because there really wasn't anything else to do. ,, $

Public Opinion.

Opinion is greatly divided. and

per

haps always will be, as to Blanchard's intentions in coming to Terre Haute. He has always been a mystery. Some say that his object from the start was to play a big confidence game, and that like Ferd Ward, though on a considerably smaller scale, he has done it. They point to every step as a part of a deliberate plan. Others believe that when he opened a real estate office here about five years ago as a poor young man from Newport, only waiting desk room in Mr. H. L. Bushnell's office, he meant to do a straight excursion and land business that he made a great deal of money, which turned his bucolic head, and, imagining himself a Jay Gould or Vanderbilt, he commenced, about three years ago, spending money largely, mostly in acts of generosity, and also overwhelming himself with Kansas land. When the pinch came, and it came very soonj he borrowed at reckless interest and tided things along for awhile until finally he took still greater risks, as in the case of the double deed to Messrs. F. F. Keith and Fred Lee, and wound up at last with embezzlement. %t'

Skipped at Day Break.

Blanchard, as stated above, could not be found last night at his office or place of business but was secreted at Mrs Insley's op south Sixth street. Edward Insley, a reporter for a morning paper, pays that when he returned home from work at half past three o'clock this morning Blanchard was fast asleep in his !)ed, and when he awoke later this morning bold Benny had gone. "Where?" was asked. "I can't say. His friends advised him to leave town

Though Insley did not care to speak further of the man. who had enjoyod the hospitality of his mother's house during the night, he jntimated that he had driven out of the city at break of day and is now nobody knows exactly where, but possibly headed toward Canada."

He has some of your mother's funds, hasn't he?". "Yes he is into us pretty seriously but we will have enough to pay out."

Have you any security?" No we haven't so much as his note. He declared last night that he had enough to pay us, and would pay us, and that if he could sell his property he would come out about even. "Did he ever tell you how much he owed?" "Yes he said it was about $100,000." "What did he have to say of J. C. Paddock's charge of embezzlement?"

He said.he could beat it that his attorney Judge Rhoad6s told him he could and he talked as though he intended to stay here and fight the case."

THE MOUBNEBS.

There was a

fine

large crowd of mourn

ers at Blanchard's office this morning. TJ. R. Jeff era, the owner of the building, was there with his attorney Thomas Foley, demanding the rent for September—$75—or possession of the room. *Mr. Eli Hamilton advised him to take possession and said the key would be handed over to him as soon as the fixtures were removed. The fixtures were sold on Sept. 28, to Alonzo Duddleston, one of his clerks, to partly secure him for money loaned and back salary due.

As one after another creditor dropped in there was cussing loud and long, but most of them seemed to take the matter good humoredly as theludicrousness of their situation dawned on them.

Alonzo Duddleston is removing the fixtures this afternoon. His claim is on the safe, several elegant desks, carpets, book cases and books and the chairs, etc. Everything the office is of the most expensive character.

Mr. James Blanchard, a brother of Ben's, is still here. He advised Ben several months ago to appoint a trustee and wind up his affairs, but the advice was not taken. For along time Blanchard has not told his business to even his confidential clerk Henson, and he always dealt in glittering generalities to those most intimate with him.

The black

Bpan

and carriage pur

chased of C. P. Staub, the team for $550 and the carriage for $750 and also the side-bar buggy was taken in by Mr. W. T. Beauchamp some time ago though Blanchard continued to use it on hire. He owed Mr. Beauchamp several, hundred dollars for the boanl of the horses and when the outfit was levied on for taxes Mr. B. paid the claim and took it all in. The small balance coming to Blanchard that operator agreed to take in livery.

A Not to Chicago:* It is not likely that Bianchard in his flight "ere rosy morn the daughter of the Dawn" had climbed the eastern hills, went to Chicago. It is said there is a warrant for his arrest there on the oharge of embezzlement.

Some Curious Facts About His Flight. After all, Ben Blanchard did not leave town Saturday morning, but was here or in this vicinity secreted and probably read in the GAZETTE the account of his esoape.

The following story of his departure is quite authenticated and shows that Ben's fondness for petticoats hung to him to the last. One of his employes says that two notes were received from Blanchard in the afternoon but was unable to find where Blanchard, was hid.

Mr. Courtwright, night operator fo the C. fe E. L, whose office is in the yard north cf the city, says that on ji

THE TERRE HAUTE WEEKLY GAZETTE.

Saturday night when the north bound 11 o'clock train stopped in front of his office to register that his attention was called bj the express agent and operator at Hillsdale, who happened to be down here,to a man and woman standing near the water tank. They both thought the parties, who were rough looking, intended to steal a ride and the train's brakeman was put "onto tbem. The Hillsdale man got on the train also and when he reached home telegraphed back to Mr. Courtwnght that the person dressed as a female was Blanchard and that he had taken off his skirte and thrown them off the train.

Further developments are expected from Conductor Ballon whose train it was and who will reach here this evening.*

The Victims.

"There were ten men standing in front of Somes' drug store yesterday morning," said a banker laughing over the Blanchard escapade, "and I felt sure they were victims and made inquiries. Every one of them had been bitten." "MILKING" THE E. T. H.

Blanohard "milked" the E. & T. H. to use a Wall street phrase. He caught Conductor Laugle for $2,500, Conducttor Henry Beard for $3,000 and Conductor Lou Albin for $2,000. "What did you get from him?" was ssked of Albin. "Certificates," was the reply.

Just then a well known photographer passed and was hailed. He said ho did not taint his transaction placed in the paper and his request was granted. He had certificates at first and afterward Blanchard made out deeds which he (Blanchard) sent out to be recorded. They have not been heard from yet and the chances are they never will be. "You may say for me" said F. F. Keith "that I am ahead $2,500 in my transactions with Blanchard. The double deed he gave me and Fred Lee made me cautious and I compelled him to settle everything." "INTERVIEW WITH MRS. BROWNIJEE.

Mrs. Brownlee who, on account of her widowhood and the alleged large extent of her losses is an object of especial interest, was found by a GAZETTE, reporter at the Union depot where she was waiting for her brother to arrive. She seemed very anxious and may well be, for the total amount placed by her with Blanchard iq atated, by a rgal estate man, at $27,000. "Have you deeds, or certificates?" was asked. "Deeds" she ropliedt.:

f:V

i.r

"All deeds?" "Well I can't say until I look over mypapers." «. "How much did you place in his hands?"

VI can't tell, exactly, nntil I look it up." "Do feel that you are safe?" "I hope I am."

Mrs. Brownlee s«lid she would have more to say tomorrow. One real estate dealer says she has a deed to 3,100 acres of land worth $7 per acre, and that she will lose very little. Another, in position to know, says the title was not properly looked up and that it is( not good.

Will Griffith says he cannot estimate his loss exactly. He has the Cornwall property, but there is a mortgage on it.

A. G. Palmer, of the C. & E. L, was in town yesterday looking after a little matter of $700 he placed with Blanchard.

J. S. Whonhart pockets his loss of about $700 like a philosopher and indulges in no cussing like'many of the the other frost bitten, t.

The Embezzlement Ca$e.

Opinion among lawyers is quite general that J. C. Paddock's charge of embezzlement could not be made to stick. Paddock simply signed over some notes he held to Blanchard, amounting to $1,740, and Ben was to get him a deed for a certain tract of land within a date not stated. This he has not yet done, but it cannot be made an embezzlement. The wily Ben knew this perfectly well. Then why did he ekip The impression is that he was aware that even if the Paddock charge was not sustained others might be, and beside there was an impending war among the petticoats, for though it is not known to be true, it is rumored that Benjamin's promise of marriage and a bridal tour to Europe was made to several damsels young, middle aged and elderly.

"Will He Ever Come Back?" This was asked of a man who has had dealings with him. "I'll be darned if I don't believe he will" was the vigorous response. Blanchard has any amount of assurance and pluck and can smile under some most trying circumstances." "Besides" the gentleman added, "I believe that if a pool was formed to buy in some of his! property-that several people could save

their losses."
