A MYSTKIUOUS TLLAOKDV IN ELKHAUT cotum*. LA FONTATNK, 1NI,. August 81.--This ulnce is much excited over the probable murder of Tine Hearld, last night. The particulars of the affair are substantially ts fellows. Yesterday, Hearld came to Vwn and while here fell in company with John Saders and Dave Pnfflngborger. Thov were last seen together about dark •*on Uteir way to Hoarld's homo. They

stopped

about midway at a farm house

express on the Cincinnati, \\abt»sh & Michigan railroad came along about I eleven clock and struck the body of iloarld, first picking it up and throwing It nhend several feet, when the train passed over it, about half a mile south of here. 4 As soon as the engineer saw it he applied

Vhis brakes and and reversed the engine, and as soon as the train was stopped the conductor was told by the engineer that they had struck something. They went back a few feet and fourul the bo4y, all ,.mangled. They felt of the b«dv to see If

It was cold or warm, and the body was cold and probably had been dead an hour ^-People around were notified and stayed *4 with the bcnlv till morning, when the cor oner came and held an Inquest, and rendered a verdict of death from an unknown cause. is altogether probable that

Llearld was murdered, and to cover the crime his slayers put the body on the tail road track. There Is one mark upon the head, which, If not given by the engine* 1 wac the one which caused his death, Th case will be investigated.

Pole RalNlnff.

Tlie corner of Lpfayette and Seventh street was the place fixed for the pole raising in the Fourth ward last night. From some, cause or other the Central Committee did not furnish the Escort with lamps and they had to march with out them. After the place for the speaking was reached a bonfire was built and Hon. Wm. Eggleston mounted a box and addressed the gathering. After the con elusion of his speech the crowd began to raise the pole, but owing to the joints not being well made when the pole was about thirty feet above the ground, it broke in two. Tliis spoiled that part of the enjoy mcnt The meeting however was an Interesting one, and another attempt will be made to raise a pole. About 1,000 persons were present.

COUNCIL.

There was a peculiar sort of combination reported to have been made last night between the Republican and National members of tlie Council. It was reported that a caucus had beeu held, and it was agreed that Mr. Polk, councilman from the Third Ward, was to designate a chief of police, and that that gentleman had chosen from among his followers Peter Staff, an cast end saloon man, and man of notoriety not of the most envious. The person whom it was rumored was to have charge of the order and laic of tlie city, is the man who was so conspicuous as a witness, detective, briber, &c.. in tho great trial of the "St. Mary's train wreckers" at last winter, in the circuit court of this county. It will be remembered that when Wilson was tried for wrecking the train at St. Mary's, this man conceived the idea of getting the reported reward offered by tlie I. & St. L. R. R. for the conviction of the criminals, and, as he stated on a trial, in Judge Patterson's court, that ho offered Jacktnan and Knight, the men who are now serving life sentences forjthc commission of the crime, $2,000 to swear that they (Jackman and Knight) saw Wilson and Ivehoo turn the switch, and that Mickelbery would pay $500 of the amount and that he. the would-be Chief of Police, knew at the time that WiUon and Kehoe were innocent, and that Jackman and Knight were the guilty parties, yet he offered Jackman and Knight who were themselves the guilty parties, $2,000 to swear the crime upon innocent parties. Now these arc matters of record, that can easily be got at, and should any body, having the interests of the city at heart, desire to look into the matter they can easily procure the shortDavls. BtftirfTt- Win' o«

swore in the re-examination that he did not mhkc the offer himself, but that "Old George* made the offer of $2,000 with his knowledgde and consent but "Old George Randall" stated on oath thai It was Staff who made the offer, and Mr. Sant Davis in his most able and eloquent speech to tho jury, called the attention of Staff's crime of subornation of perjury, and pointed out the statute covering the crimo to the Criminal Prosecutor, and advising that tho Grand Jury return an indictment against Staff. And, in the face of all these most heinous charges and facts, dame rumor tried to make it appear that the Republican members of the Council who are staunch Republicans, having the interests of that party and the safety of the city at heart, would enter Into an arrangement which would make every citizen of Terre

Haute blush for shame, and tlie Republican party bleed in assuming the responsibility of such an act. We are glad, however, to record from the best information that we can obtain at this time, that Dame Rumor was without foundation, and that our far-seeing Republican members can not be caught in such a trap. We don't object to an arrangement giving Mr. Polk's party a fair representation, and there are many good Nationals from whom he might make the selection.

Terre Hunt* Enterpriwe,

We had the pleasure yesterday of reading a letter from George RetBck of Marshall Illinois to the Magnetic Artesian Bath Company concerning the benefit he has derived from the Magnetic Artesian Springs. He was wounded by gun shot at the battle of Stone River on the 81st of December 1862 and for seventeen years has been suffering from hospital gangrene, He says he has tried everything he could hear of, and has had no relief until he commenced bathing at these springs, and he is now nearly well. ''U "„V

Rev. Dr. Gillette of Indianapolis, one of the oldest methodist ministers in the state, a man who has attended every conference of his district for forty-three years, but who did not attend the last on account of the comfort he is deriving from these springs, is bathing here. i. M. Cook a wealthy broker of Chicago, Thos. Dean of Indianapolis, T. A. Deit' rich, and Mrs. Lenox of Mattoon III. Mr. Perry'and wife from Ladoga, and three gentlemen from the Arkansas Hot Springs, are taking baths here. These latter gentlemen came on the recommendation of Dr. Reid a celebrated physician of Hot Springs, who says the magnetic waters of this city are far superior to the Hot Springs and is now thinking of locating here in the interest of those taking baths.
