ON HORSEBACK FROM KIT CAR


 Sitting erect on little seal-brown pony, William H. Jacobs, aged nine teen, rode up in front of his home, at No. 1.225 North Pennsylvania street, at three o'clock yesterday afternoon, and completed his long overland ride from Kit Carson, Col. His face, hands and wrists were tanned rich brown, but he looked the picture of health. He showed little signs of having made such wonderful ride, and the pony, which he enthusiastically declares to be the hest little horse in the world, did not show that he had been worn out by the long traveu. The pony, however, did not look as fresh and strong as his young master. Jacobs had gained in weight, while the animal had lost flesh. The pony weighs but eight hundred pounds. i..- 4..-....
 Mir. Jacobs left Kit Carson on June l, and, under a wager made by two men of that remote western town, he was to arrive in Indianapolis on or before July 4. Mr. Jacobs covered one thou sand miles-having ridden that distance when he arrived at Vandalia. IlL-in twenty-three days, the best previous record having been twenty-eight days. Mir. Jacobs says there has long been a dispute about horse or pony having carried a rider thousand miles in twenty-eight days, the best authentic record before his being thirty days. He now holds the record for a thousand miles and believes he has made rec ord for two hundred andd fifty and i've hundred liles.~-Indianapolis Journal.

To Rob the Poor Box of St. Johns R. c.
 Church.
 A dastardly attempt to rob the poor box of St. Johns R. c. church was made at noon yesterday by tramp, who escaped. The sexton of the church entered the building about noon and found man in one of the pews, appar- ently praying, the fellow kneeling down in the pew. The sexton went to the vestibule, and. returning moment lat CT, found the man with the poor box up- side down in his hands trying to shake the pennies out.
 As soon as he saw the sexton the man ran out side door and was followed by the sexton, who shouted to a police man. Both men chased the marauder over several back fences to Park street, wher he escaped up toward the Normal school.
 From what the sexton could see of the fellow he was of trampish appearance and between twenty-five and thirty years of age. It is not believed that he secured any money.
