THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL THURSDAY July 1 1876

opening OF course aldermen's eyes followed
the direction of the Browning's glance, aud
there was an end 10 the fun. At last they
knew how it happened that their proceedings
were reported verbatim. The next morning
under direction of the committee, mason
with his trowel and other insignias of his
calling, made his appearance, and that hole
was filed from view. This was a sad blow
to the hopes OF the fraternity, "Brick-top"
was soundly abused for his Paul Frying
propensitles, and the next forenoon was
spent in another reeonnoiter, which covered
the whole structure. Finally, an apartment
lust over the cOmmittee-room was selected
for a base of operations, and pipe-lsying in
truth was soon begun. The Dashboard OF
the upper room was tapped, and the pros
pecting continued until the hollow mid
Gle of the partition was reached. Then a
tube was inserted of sufficient length to
reach down even with the floor below. There
the base board was again tapped, the mouth of
the tube properly fastened to the opening,
and thus communication was again estab-
lished. To avert suspicion the "tap'' in the
Dashboard was covered with a strip of pa
per, precisely the color OF the grained wall.
As the aperture was in the immediate VII
cinity of the witness stand, seldom word
escaped the scribes above, one of whom al
ways held an ear TO the mouth of the tube.
This device worked throughout the entire
Investigation, which finally came to a close
because of the committees inability to hold
secret meetings, an essential TO their in
quiry, which was in the nature OF the pro-
ceedings of a grand jury. Besides those al
ready mentioned. other measures were taken
to secure reports. Daring the entire prog
ress of the investigation the reporters were
prepared TO see the committee vacate their
room, finding that no secrecy could be OBJ
tanned there. But should they conclude TO
change, where would they locate? This
question was carefully considered, and the
conclusion reached that the council chamber
would be decided upon. Accordingly, night
after night shorthand reporter was
obliged to secrete himself under the plat
form of the president, g most uncomfortable
plan, inhabited by rats, mice, and beetles,
and only just high enough to lie down under.
1t was terrible ordeal, to be there confined
for three or four hours, but what viii not a
live reporter do to achieve SCOOP"

The day following our centennial festiyi-
ties the following incident, says the Bos-
ton Herald, occurred liz South End saloon A.:
friend had invited one OF the South Car
DINA soldiers into the saloon to put another
turf on the buried Ratchet. While standing
at the bar stranger came in. The Caro-
linian suddenly dropped his glass and closely
eyed the stranger. His gaze was so steady
and peculiar that the friend began TO be
alarmed and to fear that the Ratchet wa
ABOUT to be dug up again. Directly the Car
Gilman asked the stranger if he knew him.
There was no recognition. whereupOn the
Caroiinlan asked him if he was not in the
late war. "YeS," was the reply. "And
YOU Were once stationed at such a place ?''
Eyes" "And took part in such skirrnish?
Yes" "Well. | thought So" repliad the
CaroiiDisn. and, raising his nat, showed q
large scar on his forehead, saying, There is
your sabsr mark, my boy; come up and
take drink" And so then and there they
decorated the grave OF the buried Ratchet.

THE STRANGE BEHAVIOR OF A MISSOURI
woMAN-sHE HAS A HABIT OF KISSING MEN

A letter to the New York Sun from Frank

antics of certain Miss Fall OF that county:

seventy five years old, and has been the
superintendent of the Presbyterian Sun
day school for many years. Miss Louisa
Fail, the plaintiff, was teacher in the
school under him, and is about 35 years
old. Mr.. Mclean buried his second wife
some time ago, and when it was made known
here that he was to be the defendant in a
suit, which was instituted because he would
not marry a third wife forty years younger
than himself, the news was enough to un-
settle the population. Judge Seay presided
over the trial, which lasted three days, and
in the conrt room were gathered all the
ladies and gentlemen that could be accom-
modated. Miss Fall, who, in spite of her
maturing age, is still beautiful, sat
throughout the trial closely yelled.
mony, Mr.. HsIIejan, of Mr.. McLean's
counsel, asked the court to oblige the lady
to remove her veil while she was on the
stand. Judge Seay said that he should not
dictate what the witness should or should not
