than Professor Edwin \. :iaight, professor

the university Friday uisni, but were not
divUlged by them until Yesterday.

stances arr ~ follows: Professor Haight
and Miss Adams lett t'incennes for Chicago
az the noon train, Fr.day. They took

MAN AND WIFE.
When the train arrived at Terre Haute,
Professor Haight and Miss Adams went TO
the Terre Haute house, registered as K. II.
Albert and wife of Cega, and were assigned
TO a room, which they occupied until IL
o'clock at night, when they took the
Chicago express and proceeded Oh their
way northward, occupying the same state
state room on the sleeper.
When Ramsdell saw the way they were
going, he at once telegrarhed the trustees
of the university, who called meeting.
They decided TO send one OF their number
To Terre Haute to prosecute further in
vestigation. He arrived in time to see the
couple take the train as described Then
he wen; to the hotel and confirmed the
| first suspicion OF the pairs conduct. The
clerk OF the hotel said Miss Adams acted
as If she was exceedingly nervous. The
actions OF both people were SO odd that
suspicion was excited at once. They were
watched more closely than under other
circumstances.
PROMPTLY EXPELLED.
! The university trustees had another
( meeting, and the immediate resignation OF
Professor Haight was called for and for
warded him al Chicago, where he was seen
by an emissary of the trustees Saturday
morning. Haight is married, his wife,
iather-in-law and sister-in law residing
with him. His father-in-law is the Rev.
Mr.. Patterson, temporary pastor of the
Ddptist CHURCH Oh tHlo Guy MISS Audn-
came here only year ago, about the same
time Professor Haight came.
The latter came hither from Alton, where
he had been principal OF the public schools
for number OF years. His religious pre-
tensions have been great, and but few PEG
pie ever suspected him capable of so great
a departure from the paths of virtue. Miss
Adams is fine looking woman, who has
been gallanted about with great display by
some OF our tony young men. The blow
t9 the university is sad one, and society
in general feels terrible over the shock. 1t
was only the night before the adventure of
the indisereet pair that reception to the
graduating class of the university was
given, at which Professor Haight was
unusually honOred by the citizens and
gained many friends.
