ON the Umpire-a to 1.
As told i'm last weeks COURIER
the Jasper Reds went to Petersburg
Thursday to play ball with the club
there. The game was brilliant
one, throughout. Up to the 18th
inning Jasper had shut Petersburg
out entirely, and had secured one
run. Then the Petersburg team
and fans began cursing their own
umpire, Taylor, who was trying to
be impartial and fair, and bulldozed
him in the next two innings into
giving Petersburg four runs and
Jasper none. The attendance was
about 500, many from Evansville,
Washington, Oakland City, and
other places, who had gone on ex-
cursions there to see the Jumbo
gas well, and who were almost unan-
imous in their condemnation of the
unfair decisions. But Jasper stuck
to it to the last inning, determined
to give the visitors the worth Of their
money in a good ball game-instead
of fiunking, as Petersburg did in
Jasper last summer, and refusing
to play.
To induce the Jasper Reds to 60
there Mr.. Lory, manager of the
Petersburg team wrote to Mr.. Mel
chior, the manager of the Reds,
guaranteeing expenses of the trip
would be paid. After that he tele
graphed the same thing. Upon get
ting to Petersburg some of the Jas
per men heard that it was made upl
that Lory should pay no expenses
of the Jasper club, and Melchior re-
fused to let his club 60 to the ball
grounds until Lory promised him
faithfully, again, to pay their ex-
penses if they would play, that there
was a good crowd in the town, and
the game would draw large attend
ance, and there would be a general
disappointment without a game,
and Virgil Greene. Esq, endorsed
Lory, saying he was "good for his
and would do as he said"
While the game was nprogress word
was sent the landlord of the Pike
hotel, that he must collect his bill
from the Jasper men, as it was not
Intended to pay anything for them.
When they returned from the
grounds the landlord told them OF
(, and they Immediately sought for
Lory and demanded settlement of
1850 as expenses, which was re-
used, although the attendance
showed receipts of about 800. He !
alleged that last year the Petersburg
cam had to pay its own expenses
n Jasper, the time the Petersburg
cam backed out, and refused to
play after the LIST inning. He was
reminded that the cases We're not
similar, Jasper having played the /
line innings. A suit against LNry,
personally, will likely be the result
)f the littleness. Some who were
IN the Jasper club last year, and no,
his, say the club was served right,
as they knew from last years ex-
perience there was no honor in the
Petersburg Club.
The feature Of the game was the
pitching of Schumacher of the
Jasper team. But two hits were
made off Of his delivery the entire
game, with thirteen struck out men
credited to him. Many patrons of
the game declared it to be the finest
Of pitching ever seen on
the Petersburg grounds.

TO KEEP HER FROM TALKING
MRS. GiIbert's Papa-in- Law Poured Plaster
ofParis Into Her Mouth.

Cleveland, Ohio, March 9.-Nellie A.
Gilbert, wife of DR.. Frederick Gilbert,
told a remarkable story in a petition
filed in court today. The young woman
brought suit against her husbands IA
ther, DR.. g. II. Gilbert, for 900 dam
ages for the alienation of her husbands
affections, and for $4,000 for assault al
legged to have been committed on her by
her father-inlaw. The alleged assault,
which, she declared, was committed by
DR.. Gilbert, consisted Of pasting her
mouth with wet plaster Of paris and per-
uniting the substance to harden, thus
preventing her from talking. She alleges
that she was found by her brother in an
unconscious condition, with the plaster
in ner mouth, and that it was necessary
20 use hammer to break the plaster be-
fore it could be taken from her mouth.
The allegation as to the alienation Of
her husbands affections consists of
charge to the effect that G.. H. Gilbert
offered his son $4,000 and his practice if
the latter would get rid of his wife. The
Gilberts are prominent people of the
South Side and the young man and his
wife recently figured in a sensation Of
which these suits are the outcome.

bad A REAL PLEASANT TIME
Sweet Domesticity Prevailed Among the
Stetson Family.

Boston, Mass. March 9.-Trial Of the
suit to determine whether Ada Rich
mond is the lawful wife of the late John
Stetson, theatrical and circus manager,
began here today. This is preliminary
step to a contest of the Stetson will,
which bequeathed the estate to Kate
Stokes Stetson.
r. NJ. Mosher, counsel for Miss Rich
mond Cor Mrs. Stetson) in his opening
argument, stated that he would show
that after persistent refusals Ada Rich
mond accepted an offer of marriage from
Mr.. Stetson, and that papers and agree
ments were drawn up BY which Mr..
Stetson was 10 give her $4,000. Mr..
Stetson proposed to her that they go to
Providence, where they were married.
The Providence minister gave Miss
Richmond a certificate of marriage, it is
claimed. and Stetson proclaimed her his
wife and caused e notice of their mar
riage to be published in the newspapers
The certificate was signed by Luther
n. Hanson. They lived together in Bos-
ton after that for three or four years,
and there she bore two children to Stet-
son.
Herbert McGoon, treasurer OF the Suf-
folk Savings bank, testified that in 1871
Ada Richmond Stetson opened an ac-
count with the bank. Her account read:
Mrs. Ada Stetson, wife of John Set
son, Alden street.
Mrs. Richmond Stetson was called.
She said she was now living in New
York; that she married John Stetson in
Providence. December .. 1870. and that
he had a pistol and threatened to kill
her if she did not marry him.
The witness stated hat Mr.. Stetson,
Sr.. called frequently 10 see her and
was most affectiOnate.
She said her first child lived only an
hour. She said that Mr.. Stetson beae
her most brutally. These assaults were
very frequent, and injuries inflicted by
her husband caused the death OF her
child. She then told OF leaving her fus-
band by the advice of his father, the
night after the birth OF her second child.
and OF the subsequent reconciliation.
which, she said, took place in New
York. She said that she had seen Mr..
S;etson about six weeks before his
death al the Savoy. Whenever she sent
for money he gave il 10 her and repeat
eddy contributed 20 her support.

RE-ENACT THE INAUGURAL
School District No. 5, West of the City,
Hold Patriotic Exercises

| West Of the city on Thirteenth street
| is located School District No. 5, COM
monty known as the o. X. school. This
district, in its care and pride Of their
school, stands among the first in the
county. The chool house is built and
equipped to serve the purpose for which
it was designed as fully as any of the
modern city schools. Maps charts and
other parphernalia are supplied the
teacher to work with. and it is only a
| natural consequence ti,at the work done
by the scholars is much more thorough
and satisfactory. No teacher. however
good, can do the work of inducing the
children 10 see, AMI think, and under
stand, and reason for themselves with
out these helps, as can one with them.
Miss Mayme Latflem has the school
in charge and being one of the most COM
petent, kind and accomplished teachers
among those in the county, her work
has been pleasant. as we'll as profitable
to the scholars, and satisfactory to the
older ones.
On March 4. the same day on which
the Inauguration al Washington occur
red. the scholars, under the direction of
their teacher, held Inauguration cere-
monies as near as possible like those
being held at the same time at the ma
tlonal capitol.
Joey Sloan, one of the pupils Of the
school, took the part of the president,
and delivered an inaugural address,
was replete with logic and an amount Of
thought for one so young. He treated
on bimetallism. civil service. foreign
policy and international affairs, which
has the ring to it of the thought ofan old
speaker. Lack OF space forbids its be-
ing printed.
Vice President Hobart was represent
ed by Master Austin W. Rice, who did
his subject ample justice. He is as en-
thusiastic young Republican as could
be found anywhere, and began his ad-
dress with a dissertation built upon the
thought that the Democratic rule was
to rule or ruin" Seeing they could no
longer rule, they bent their energies TO
ruin in an experiment.
Following this Mckinley and Ho-
bart's March was rendered by Mrs
Reed, who is quite an accomplished
musician.

upon the program with an address i'm
personating Hon. L. L. Gage which was
quite an able plea for arbitration and
asking that every one study the needs
of the masses and not the demands OF
the classes.
Miss Ivie Jones read an essay on 1.-The
Executive Mansion" which was also
quite interesting. The school possesses
an orchestra of five pieces OF which il is
very proud, and we'll it may be. They
rendered several selections during the
exercises which were very pleasing 10
the large audience who had assembled.
The exercises were very nicely gotten
up andMiss Lathem deserves great credit
for her success IN training up the young
minds in the right direction, and helping
them to store away knowledge which
once possessed cannot be sold or stolen
by any one.
