sCHooLMAsTER FITCH.
Reunion of His OId-Time Pupils at
Blue river Park Yesterday.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
YOUNGSTOWN, Ind, Sept. 25.-Dr o. F.
Fitch, now nearly eighty years old, an old
time schoolmaster, is holding a reunion of
his old pupils at Blue River Park. He is
surrounded by many of those who have at
tended school under him, their ages rang
III from twenty-one to nearly sixty.
DIR. Fitch was born at Pen Yam, N. Y, in
1878. He began teaching in 1887 in Wyoming
county, New York. and continued there
for five years, finishing his course in wy
oming Academy in the meantime. He spent
one year in Ohio, and in 1913 came to Brook
vile. Being too late to secure a regular
school he started another just south of
town in an old log schoolhouse on the banks
of Whitewater canal. There the benches
we're SO high that the pupils were not
troubled by the snakes and lizards Il at Otter
visited the school. After teaching one year
at Fairfield he entered the Ohio Medical
College, spending year in that institution.
He returned to Brookville in 1S4S, again
teaching there. In 1850 he had the gold
fever and became one of the argonauts, go
ing by way of Cuba and the isthmus to
California. Returning. in 1853 he taught at
Metamora in 1856, and in 1857 came to Nor
ristown, where he has since resided. He
taught here twenty-eight years, with the
exception of a few years spent at MilIOy,
Carthage and MonteZuma. From 1858 to
1856 he was professor in Brookville Col
lege, being associated with T. A. Goodwin,
and while teaching in Franklin county was
contemporary with Hon. viii Cumback, at
whose schoolhouse he lectured
Twenty-Five years ago he purchased the
largest travelling telescope in the United
States, reflector with ten-inch lens and
fourteen feet long. He has since travelled
a great deal with it and is often seen at
the southwest corner of the courthouse in
Indianapolis In 1886, breaking down in
health, he gave up his work as teacher
and depends on his telescope. He has fair
knowledge of astronomy. In his day he has
taught over six thousand pupils.
To-day many of his former pupils have
assembled from all over the State to do
him honor. Others have sent letters of re-
greet. This morning was spent in the re-
ception of pupils and this afternoon the
doctor conducted his school with the same
pupis-some of them now grandparents
just as he did when he first came here for
ty years ago. with the same old clock and
study card hanging up. Rev. c. N. Sims
n. S. Byram of Indianapolis were both
his former pupils. DR.. w. r. Wolf deliv-
eied an address to-day and several of the
older folks had essays and papers which
they had preserved from their school days,
and these were also read permanent
organization was perfected and the meet
ings win be held annually hereafter.

Seymour Gamblers Fall Out and Live
~ Times Are Looked For.

Iy Times Are Looked For.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
SEYMOUR, Ind, Sept. 25.-The gamblers
have fallen out and lively times are ex-
pected at once. A short time ago Charles
H. Abel, a well-known man about town, had
a falling out with some of the green cloth
fraternity, since which time Abel claims
that they have been making it hot for him.
A few days ago Reuben May was granted
a. divorce from his wife Lizzie. On the fol-
lowing day the divorced wife married Abel,
for whom she had been keeping house for
some time. They were hardly married when
they were arrested on the charge of adul-
terry, the warrant having been sworn out by
Policeman Hopeweli. and the charge dating
back to July. They were arraigned before
City Judge Hoover, waived examination and
were bound over to the Circuit Court in
the sum of $3.50. They gave bond. The re-
lease of Abel was not welcome news to the
gamblers, as he had threatened to have the
whole push pulled. This morning Abel
three anonymous letters which he had re-
ceived through the postoffice. One letter adj
vised him to leave the country; another
threatened him with being whipped, the let
ter being signed ''WhitecapS," and another
was of a very indecent nature, and will
cause the writer of 1t considerable trouble
if detected. Abel says that Postmaster
Price and one of the bankers have Joined
him in asking for a United States secret
the letters. Abel also told the judge that
the policeman who swore out the warrant
against him was merely the tool of the
gamblers, all of whom he wanted arrested.

A THOUGHT PHOTOGRAPHED.
Queer Freak of "a Negative Made by a
Winchester Artist.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WINCHESTER, Ind, Sept. 25.-Photog
rapher Charles +. Pierce, Of this city, has
in his possession negative made for Chal-
mers Farlow, of this city, last Sunday morn
ing which is very remarkable. Mr.. Farlow
is young, unmarried man, and works for
the grocery firm of Bollenger & Winter here
For several days prior to last Sunday morn
ing he had thought about having his picture
taken, and several times it had occurred to
him that it would be funny to have the
picture made with a pipe in his mouth in
order that he might tease his sister and
some young lady friends, but he said moth
ing to any one of this thought. Last Sun
day morning when seated to have the pic
ture made the thought again came to him.
and the outline of person with pipe sug
gested itself in something which he noticed
about the camera. This caused him to smile
when his picture made, but he said
nothing to the photographer of the fancy
which had come to him. During the week
Mr.. Pierce developed the negative, and
above and a little back of the head Of Mr..
Farow appears as complete a picture of
pipe as one ever saw. Mr.. Pierce says that
he thoroughly cleaned the plate before using
it, and he can in no way account for the
presence of the pipe in the picture unless
the thought in young FarlowS mind affected
the Sensitized plate.

Fight Between Union and NOnunion
Companies for Muncie Business.

Specill to the Indianapolis Journal.
MUNCIE, Ind, Sept Reinsurance rates
for fire risks are being cut in a reckless
manner in this city by the local agents. at
the request from headquarters, and the
fight is an exceedingly interesting one for
the residents of Muncie, who have been
paying gougingly high rates for some time
past. Four years ago there were a series
of factory fires in Muncie starting with the
destruction of the C. H. over and Heming
ray glass factories. Following these there
was over $500.0G0 loss to be paid by insur-
ance companies. After careful investiga-
tons many insurance men decided to with
draw from this field, and many policies
were Cancelled. Those who continued to
hold risks did so after giving the rate a
big boost. John j. Hartley is secretary of
the union" companies and w. l.. Little is
manager of the nonunion companies. Re
Gently Mr.. Hartley announced a general re-
duction of 10 per cent. all around. Mr..
Little at once cut under the union. and to
hold business the union companies met the
cut. For three days this sort of business
has been in progress and as result Mum
Gle is now getting insurance at lower fig
ure than other localities.
