GEN. COUNCIL REFUSES

Louisville, Aug. 2S,.-The general
council will not make up the deficit
in the funds of the Biennial Associa-
ton Of the Knights of Pythias.
The executive committee Of the as
sociation met with the joint finance
committee Of the general council in
the mayors Office yesterday after
noon and asked that a deficit Of be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 be made up
by an appropriation from the city.
The joint finance committee de-
clined to recommend to the council
that the desired appropriation be
made. Their reason for refusing to
make the recommendation was that
the Pythian Association is private
corporation and that if an appropria-
ton is made to make up their deficit
In funds the same might be made for
any business firm which shows a
shortage of funds.
The determination of the general
council not to make up the deficit
will make it incumbent on the twenty
four members of the general commit
tee, who are incorporators of the Bi-
ennial Association, to make up the
deficit out Of their own pockets.
There is no doubt that the committee
will make good on all shortage.
The members of the finance commit
tee of the Pythian Association con-
tinue to state that they are still un-
certain as to exactly what the fnan-
cial status of the association is.

Brave WOMEN
RESENT INSULT
OGDEN WHITFIELD TAKEN
IN BY WOMEN
GAVE HIM FLOGGING
And Then Brought Him to Jail and
Had Him Locked Up-Claim
of Insult.
CAV HIM FLOGGING

Terre Haute, Ind, August 25.-
Because they were insulted by man
while driving in '.Lovers' Lane"
near Terre Haute yesterday after
noon, three prominent women of this
city captured their offender, gave
him a severe fogging with buggy
whip and brought him to the Terre
Haute Jail. where he was confined.
The women were Mrs. Daniel Fasig,
wife of the sheriff; Mrs. Lon O'Don-
nell, wife Of the Vigo county jailer;
and Mrs. Anna Palmateer, police ma
tron.
The man who is alleged to have in
suited the three women is Ogden
Whitfield, police character. The
three women We're. driving in two bug
gies on Flowers Lane" when they
met another woman who was pale and
seemed til have been frightened. She
said nothing of what she had encount-
cred upon the quiet and out-of-the-
way road but drove on.
A short time afterward they met a
man in a buggy who, they claim, Of
fered an insult to them. The wom-
en- started to seize the man but feared
that he might overpower and injure
them. They drove rapidly north to
the national road and there met
Charles Patterson, who accompanied
them back to where they had seen
Whitfield.
An exciting chase in buggies fol-
lowed Whitfield whipped his horse
and the chase began. He gained a
lead on the pursuing party and sought
shelter near farm house, but was
captured.
The women, with their assistant,
marched him back to the rigs. Mrs.
Fasig held the horse attached to his
buggy while he was compelled to
stand with his coat ffand watch the
preparations made for his whipping
Whitfield pleaded, begged and apol-
ogized but the women were determin-
ed to punish him. Mrs. Palmateer
and Mrs. O'Donnell each took buggy
whips and gave him several lashes on
the back. His pleading ceased and he
began to cry.
Whitfield was then placed in
buggy and brought to the Jail by the
women. while Patterson went after
Mrs. O'Donnell's horse, which had
run away. The women surrendered
their prisoner to the police and he
was locked in jail.

EPIDEMIC BBP OF
TYPHOID
HAS BEGUN TO SUBSIDE-NO
DANGER NOW
SIX RECOVERED
Out Of the Ten Gases and Three Are
Convalescing- Uneasiness is
About Over.
SIX RECOVERED

The epidemic of typhoid, which
threatened for few days to assume
proportions we'll calculated to cause
alarm, seems to have subsidized to a
degree which no longer causes fear.
For several days the number OF
cases of this essentially shot wealth
err disease grew at the rate of one
or more a day, unil there were ten
or more cases in town, with a prospect
Of regular epidemic, which would
have been very disastrous.
Of late, however, but few new cases
have been reported and these are so
slight that the assertion that the
typhoid epidemic is on the decline
seems warranted. Quite a good deal
of alarm was felt among the health
officials and the people at large dur
ing the height of the epidemic, but
since the number of cases has de-
creased SO has this general alarm.
The feeling that Richmond might be
the center Of typhoid epidemic caus-
ed a great deal of uneasiness.
"During the month Of August
said DIR. Davis this afternoon. ''ten
eases of typhoid fever were reported
in Richmond. Some of these as
sumed propUrticns that for q wfrife
wereserious, but they all subsided.
Of the ten cases six have recovered
entirely, and no person contracted the
disease from them, three are conval-
escing and one, that Of Dan Nolte,
was just reported this noon. One i'm
portant thig to be remembered is
that of the ten, one half were con-
tracted in other towns than Richmond,
fact which argues we'll for Rich
mond's health state.''

YOUND MILLER
GOES SCOT FREE
'1
CORONER j. C. RYDER RENDERS
A VERDICT THAT
PLEASES COMMUNITY
After Hearing Evidence the Following
is the Result: I'm Justification
and Self Defense

Yesterday the Palladium printed
D the story of the killing Of John w.
Miller, in Preble county, O., by his
seventeen-year-old son. The follow
:, learned: n,
u The tragedy is the elimination of a
long series of family quarrels and a
desperation promulgated by continu-
ed abuse and threats Of the father
against his wife and three children.
Miller, who it is stated, was i'll
dispositioned, abusive and mean and
more or less given to the use of in
toxicants, had several times separat-
ed from his family, the last estrange-
ment occurring about ten days ago.
Mrs Miller and the children then
moved to farm adjoining that Of
her father. Robert Banta, near Lew
isburg. The family formerly resided
at West Alexandria, where Miller
was employed on the section of the
Cincinnati Northern railroad.
Tuesday afternoon Miller again
showed up, and in his bad frame Of
mind. His approach to the residence
was noted by the wife who, through
fear, locked herself and two children
within. Miller demanded admission
and declared that his wife had to live
with him emphasizing his remarks
by wicked demonstrations with 80
calibre revolver. Noncompliance
with his demands only further en-
ragged the man and he broke into the
house and threatened to kill his wife
and the children if they did not ae-
company him, and started off down
the road with them.
The son Harry, who was working
away from home at the time, was
Informed of his fathers action by his
grandmother. Mrs. Robert Banta,
whereupon he ran into a neighbor s
and secured shotgun and hastened
to the assistance Of his mother. Ar
irving in close proximity to the par
ents the father threatened to kill the
boy, and was about to carry out his
design. when the son fired, the load
taking effect in the face and breast
of the elder Miller. Though pros
trated and stunned by the discharge,
|Jhs attempted to rise and shoot the
boy, when the son administered the
death blow upon the man s head with
the barrel of the gun, which fractur-
al. the skull and caused death.
1.-THE young man was taken in GUS
tody and Coroner J. c. Ryder called,
who after hearing the evidence, as
herein outlined. rendered verdict
Sin justification and self Defense"
and the boy was released.
Besides the revolver, Mr. Miller
had on his person five extra shells,
quart of whiskey and an ounce of car
bolic acid. which gave testimony of
his wicked designs.
TIE sympathy of the community is
with the boy, and the only deplora-
BILE fact is that the son was compelled
/ to commit the deed.

VERY PRETTY SIGHT

By 6 o'clock this evening the last
tent stake at the Chautauqua grounds
will have been driven. the las tent pur
up, and everything will be completed,
ready for the opening of the Chau-
tauqua on the morrow. For a fair
idea of the Chautauqua grounds. in-
agine soldiers camp, with the tents
III orderly rows, the whole surrounded
by wire fence about four feet hish
and with large oval tent.
Very Pretty Place.
The "tented city, as one termed
It today, is very pretty sight. and
the prospective campers souls are
filled with delight at the thought of
nearly two weeks cat camp
Today the grounds were scene Of
busting activity. Stakes were be-
ing driven, the seats and platform
placed in the speakers tents, the meal
tents were receiving their fixtures.
and wagons and men were continually
coming and going.
Location.
The grounds are immediately TO the
rear OF the old cemetery, the only en-
trance facing the south, and the road
to the entrance is the path just op-
posite South Twenty-third street. The
grounds are surrounded by a wire
fence enclosing an area of several
acres, and in this enclosure there are
something like one hundred and fifty
tents, including meal tents, refresh
ment tents and the merchants tents
The tents for campers have board
floors raised some inches from the
ground, and are mostly situated on
the western side of the grounds.
From west to east there is a decided
slant and In the center, on a level
space, is the speakers tent, the seats
OF which will be level, and not in
tiers, which already is a source Of
some complaint.
The living tents all face the east
anu ait s'il tue Side-A tents save
those that belong to private families
and are not rented. About seventy
families will occupy tents during the
Chautauqua and they anticipate a
great deal Of pleasure, the Glen being
an ideal camping ground. A lunch
and refreshment tent is in place. also
tent where meals will be served.
The speakers tent, an oval. about
l50x100 feet, is the largest on the
ground, the speakers platform is in
the northeast corner Of this tent.
The street car service is a cause Of
great complaint. The entrance. on the
south side, is only about one hundred
and fifty feet from Main street. but
the street car company has discon-
tinued the Driving Park service,
which went right past the entrance,
and all cars lead clear around the
."loop,' necessitating a long walk 10
the Chautauqua grounds. Tt is far
easier and quicker to get off at
Twentieth and Main streets and walk
out Main street for two squares than
TO go around via the loop
At / 80 tomorrow the Chautauaua
begins.
