NEW YORK, Dec 29.—A special from Atlanta, Ga., says: "Yesterday were developed two affairs of honor in whioh the principals' are people in high life. For several days it has been whispered around that correspondence was pen iing between Senator James M. Smith, of Oglethorpe county, and Dr. Willis F. Westmoreland, the celebrated surgeon. Mr. Westmoreland, as State Prison Iuspeotor, incurred the ire of Smith, who is one of the heaviest penitentiary lessees. On a previous occasion Smith fbad denounoed Westmoreland in terms 'of opprobrium. The matter has "reached such a point that it is now in tbe hands of friends. All# the parties re reticent, bnt are closely watched. It as rumored last nipht that Westmorend has gone to Alabama. Tiiei second 8e is one of more virulence. H. Moris editor of the Milledgeville Chronaud in h's patter he has severely eked Dr. W. H. Kennan, a memher

She was a lady 74 years of age and her disappearance is a mystery. It is supposed that she went out the door of the car onto the platform and was blown off. The C. & A. oompany immediately instituted a diligent search but have as yet been unable to find any trace of her.

She left her ticket, shawl, bonnet and. satchel in her seat. The authorities telegraphed N. K. Elliott, of the Vandalia, to find out who she was and it ascertained from T. B.

Petition for aNew Gravel Road. The following is a copy of the petition being circulated in Sugar Creek and Fayette townships in favor of a free gravel road from Liberty villa to intersect with the gravel road to St. Mary'sThe contemplated distance is seven miles and the estimated cost $8,000. The road would tap four roads from Edgar county and tyro from Vermillion county. These two counties will give at least $2,00Q toward its construction. It would be a valuable and greatly desirable road. "The undersigned petitioners, resident landholders of Sugar Creek in Fayette townships, in Yigo county, Indiana, respectfully BUOW the court that a free gravel road would be of great public utility and now respectfully ask the court to make an order as provided by law for the construction of the following described kind mt road and over the following route towit:. [Then follows a description of the proposed route]. And now your petitioners ask that the right of way of said proposed gravel road be made forty feet in length throughout its entire length that the road bed proper be made twentv-two feet in width and properly graveled. And your petitioners show the court that they are the owners of land along the route of said proposed road which will be assessed for the cost of said improvements. Wherefore your petitioners ask that their prayer be granted. Also, the contracts shall not be let to any con traotor for more than two miles. Any taxpayer shall have the right to work out bis tax provided he is ready to do the work when called on by the contractor."

A number of our citizens contemplate a visit to Cory Lodge I. O. O. F. to .witness au initiation on Tuesday night, but owing to some mishap they did not go.

Mrs. Joshua Rumbley-has been very sick, bat is now somewhat better, Mrs. John Fox has been sick for the last week, but is slowly recovering, Dr. Hickson attending.

The play Tuesday night was well performed by Riley Dramatic company Music by Misses Ora Gordon, Grace Collister and Cora Graham, assisted bv A. A. Gordon and Will Heiselman was superb. Receipts of the evening perfectly satisfactory. They play again on New Year's night for the benefit of the Sabbath school.

Tbe schools of Riley township open again on Monday. The holidays have beeu spent by tue pupils in healthful sports, and they will all be ready to re sume work on Monday morniug with renewed activity. Our schools this wiuter area success.

The Riley correspondent, some weeks ago suggested the idea that our schools be represented at the next Yigo county fair, and asked that others should speak of its importance. All other professions are represented there, but our common sohools have never tried to make an exhibit. Let the trustees of the different townships oftef a small prize for the best constructed map or the best essay, or the best analysis of some book or subject, or the neatest form of manuscript, or almost anything pretaining to the pupils school work, and I am sure such a department of our county fair would be entertaining and cause much energy to be devoted to such line of work by onr children. Ik is in the common schools course that the foundation is laid for all subsequent school work, yet onr pupils of the common school receive little or no encouragement of that given bv the teacher. Let others who mav think it advisable come out a say something through the people's puper, the Terre Haute GAZETTE

When Pinkerton arrived at Mrs. Whittrock's house he was handed express paokageB containing $22,000 in currency, which Wittrock had sent to his family after the robbery, sending word by the messengers who brought the money that he bad won it by gambling and speculation. He directed his family to keep the money secreted for him as he had shot a man in Chicago, and told them that it would be attached for damages and that he was obliged to leave Chicago on account of this shooting. The money had not been disturbed and was in the original wrappers. Mr. Pinkerton will probably remain here during tomorrow. It is suppoeed that Wittrock, during one of his visits to this city hid large sums of the money stolen and that he will now turn it over to the detectives. There have already been recovered of the stolen money about $45,000. •. WITTROCK CONFESSES.

CHICAGO, Dec. 29—Speaking of the despatches from Leavenworth, Kansas, to the effect that Frank Wittrock, arrested in this city for complicity in the robbery of the Adams Express car, had confessed to tbe crime and that about $20,000 more of the money bad been recovered, Mr. W. A. Pinkerton said that tbe information is correct. Early this morning he received a despatch from one of his detectives confirming the report. Wittrock arrived in Leavenworth in the custody of two detectives yesterday. He was taken to his old bome and pointed out to his captors were the money was. It was found in a box which had been placed in the ground dnder a barrel near the house.

HRS. WITTROCK'S STATEMENT. LEAVENWORTH, KB., Dec. 29—Shortly after midnight the detectives who brought Fred Wittrock, alias Jim Cummings, to this city, left the Wittrock house with their prisoner and repaired to a hotel, where they took a room and retired. While the two offioers were absent with young Wittrock from the house, Mrs. Wittrock was induced by a reporter to tell what she knew of the case, as her son's connection with it could not be *ooncealed. Between broken sobs she admitted that Fred had participated in the robbery, but would be released, as he had confessed all to the detective.

She said that shortly after the robbery Oscar Cook came to Leavenworth and visited her one evening. After talking to her for some time he said Fred was in trouble that he bad made a large sum of money on a wheat deal in Chicago and had some difficulty with a broker over the matter, which ended by his shooting the latter that he had to flee from the country and wanted his mother to take care of the money until she heard from him further. This she agreed to do and the money was left in her possession. Some time after this another young man, who lives in this city, but whose ideunity she refused to divulge, called and left another package of money and on two other occasions two other young men called at different times fcnd left

raoDey

which

they said had come from Fred. When asked if

Bhe

knew the amount or

sum total she said she did not that they were large packages, bnt she-had never oounted it believing implicity in Fred's story and thinking she was aiding him by caring for his property, and not dreaming but that he came by it honestly. She bad no occasion to use any of it, having money of her own. When asked how the detectives happened to be here searching the house, she said: "When I read of Fred's arrest I immediately wrote to the express comuany, telling them of tbe money and requesting them to come to Leavenworth, aud that is undoubtedly why they are here."

Gen. Loeran's Sudden Death

Is a great shock to the nation. Fewknew that he was even indisposed when the news of his death flashed over the wires and thousands of people stood aghast at the sudden ohange from health and vigor to oold and silent death. For the*past twenty-five veara there has been no man more oonstaintly before the public than General John A. Logan.^ Through all his career he has been' noted for his fearlessness and purity of character, both in pnblio and private life. Loved by friends and respected by enemies he will be mourned by alL

His death adds another to the Ion? list of victims to sudden and acute rheumatism. Probably no disease is so oommon as rheumatism, none is more sudden or dangerous, and there is certainly none wliioh so completely baffles medical skilL

Only one remedy has yet been discovered whioh is a sure and safe core for rheumatism and its twin disease," neuralgia, and that is Atblophoros. In thousands of oases Athlopboros has^ proved a quick and oertain. cure for these diseases. In conneotion with Athlophoros Pills it has never yet failed to speedily effect a oure.

In all probability many deaths at-£ tributed to heart disease are caused by these terrible diseases, whioh are fai( more dangerous than is generally oon-* sidered.

Rheumatism, even though in a mild form, is extremely dangerous, for it is liable at any moment to go to tHe hears and cause instant death. Why trifle with a disease so fatal when a certain oure can be obtained of
