The old man was on a wagon loaded
with straw, at Mr.. Jas \. Wilson's farm
at the Fast End, when by the sudden
movement of pair of mules attached,
he lost his balance and fell to the
ground. This frightened the animals,
and they started off drawing the heavy
wagon over Georges body, breaking
three or four ribs and otherwise bruis-
ing him, DR.. Kollock rendered medical
assistance, and we are glad to note that
the old fellow is getting along as well
as could be expected, when taken into
consideration the severe injuries recelv-
ed. There is hardly man, woman or
child in this place who does not know
the familiar form of this sketch, and all
were gricvcd to learn of the mishap.

Some gentlemen interested in horses,
says the EUery ECening, organized an ex-
ira meeting at Fairyiew Park, Dover,
Del and on Saturday last they had a
trot at which about 500 persons attended.
The running race was one-half mile
heats, and was run in 1:03 and los. The
wagon race was trotted in 2:543, 1854,
2:59i. A trial mile was given bay mare
Blanche, by Mr.. Gillespie, in 2;31, and
Mr.. Rascoe's black mare Mary R. was
driven two miles in 2:34 and 2:36. The
meeting proved so interesting that there
is talk of holding one every Saturday
afternoon.

and Ohio rivers, from New Orleans to Pittsburg.
His plantations extended for miles along the
river, and were titled by thousands of slaves.
When he died his estate was worth about 49,
600, 900. His only son inherited this vast
wealth. Like all young men of that day. who
had rich fathers, he was given the benefit of a
European education. and for years travelled the
continent with private tutor. He had been
bountifully supplied with money, but when his
fathers death threw all his wealth into bis
possession his extravaganza knew no bounds.
The scion of rich Southsrner, he had carried
letters which placed him on terms of intimacy
with the nobility. Few men of title could boast
ample a fortune. and none could excel him in
lavishness. 1t was in the theatrical world, how
ever, that he attracted most attention. The
leading lights of the Partisan stage were eager
to claim his friendship, for it meant valuable
presents. Costly gifts of diamonds and jewelry
to some favorite artistic were common thing,
while his eXtravagant dinners astonlshed even
the gay French capital One supper in partieu-
lar, which he gave to the art world of Paris, is
said to have cost between SIS, 600 and $40, 000
With Patti and other famous singers he was on
terms of familiarity. and in his later days moth
ing gave him more pleasure than to recount an

men were more competent as critics in matters
of music and art

A New and Successful Swindle Which Is
Being Worked in the Country.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
VINcEsNEs, June 20-A new swindle is being
perpetrated upon innocent people in this section
of the State by sharpers. The scheme, as it has
been operated On several unsuspecting farmers,
is as follows A venerable gentleman approaches
the farmer and talks of the laboring men and
tilers of the soil having to pay so much tax.
The farmer is told by the venerable gentleman
that he is getting up petition that be wishes
every farmer to sign. The petition, he claims.
is to one of the local members of the Legisla-
ture, asking him 10 work in the interest of the
overburdened taxpayer, and soliciting the mem
bers to correct any evils that may exist, if it is
in their power to do so. The reader glibly CAB
bles off lot of stuff to the farmer from two or
three pages of manuscript and then asks the
farmers signature. The result is the same as of
old--the farmer is sold, and in few days
note is presented to the farmer, and, in nine
cases cut Of ten, the swindler gets off with the
money. There is no doubt but that the petition
scheme is successfully worked on good many
unsuspecting men, who are ashamed to COM
plain after they realize what an astounding ad
vantage has been taken of their simplicity.

A Cruel Naval Rule.

Washington Special.
81 have Just heard from the wife Of a brother
officer, who is in Corea, that her husband has
been detached from duty because she was in
China" said naval officer to a Star reporter
'They are a childless couple, and just because
the wife happened to go to China to be in the
same part of the world with her husband he is
punished. That was a very unnecessary and I'M
just order that Secretary Chandler issued for
bidding wives of naval officers to be near their
husbands foreign stations. The presence of a
wife or mother near the officers of naval vessel
in foreign country has moral effect on them
all, and the negligence of duty the part of
the husband caused by it is generally imaginary.
Those who do not want their actions or habits
known were at the bottom of that order"
