TEBBE HAUTE. IWX«

Weiaesiaj Morning, Feb. », 1870.

THB New York Times expresses an earnest wish that a memorial similar to flint just presented to the Massachusetts Legislature for reform in prison management, could be urged upon the attention of lawmakers in every State of the Union Tbifl memorial protests against the present horrible huddling of prisoners of all

ages,

natures, temperaments and degrees of crime into the same penal institutionsa process in which the comparatively in»ocent become trained and instructed by the hardened and hopeless, Without a careful classification of prisoners, say the memorialists, all influences and efforts for reformation will be thwarted: and we believe with them that the State in undertaking to "reform" prisoners, often by its carelessness or ignorance in this respect

only

pens them up in nurseries of vice and crime. The petitioners make a spec

ial

point of asking for entirely separate prisons for female convicts, "under the charge of judicious and philanthropic women, subject to the advice of aboard of

men

and women of known judgment and ability-" This recommendation is based on the belief that a total separation of men from women is hardly practicable in prisons where both sexes are inmates while, in many cases, the persons assigned to take charge of female convicts are utter ly unfit for their work. It seems to us that on every possible ground—propriety, jus tice, humanity and even economy-this separation of female convicts into prisons spe cially designed for them is desirable. We belieyejthat there they could be inspired with the aim to live honorable and virtu ous lives, as they now never can be. They would at least have their self-respect ap pealed to, and the means as well as the motives for improvement would be more effectual. In our own State this desirable change will soon be effected, and those unfortunate women who are sentenced to penal servitude will have all the advan tages that can result from a separate pri on. iv:'

The Threatened Uprising. Tho Corinne (Utah) Reporter, of the 27tli ult., lias the following upon the pos sible effects of the CULLOM bill now be fore Congress:

Our Mormon neighbors, that the antr polygamy bill of Mr. Cullom most affects, threaten to destroy tho last thing visible on the fair bosom of our adopted Territory should said bill pass. These threats are causing no little alarm among our citizens and those not of the barbarous faith throughout the Territory. His Ex cellency, the acting Governor of Utah has been applied to for the protection of the Gentile interests of this portion, but says he can do nothing for us. How is this? What does the General Govern ment maintain a Federal Executive here for? Is it not to protect the interests of the Government, and those that could not be otherwise protected? "Self-preserva-tion is the first law of nature," and if we can not obtain that sympathy and as sistance from the Executive that the situ ation demands, we shall have to resort to that primitive mode of self-preservation guaranteed to all mankind, regardless of "red tape" or other superfluities. The Mormons swear by all that is powerful that the Cullom bill shall not pass, if they can prevent it, but should it do so, they will have revenge on the nearest, first and every Gentile they meet in Utah. These are strong threats, and of a nature, con1 sidering the Mormons's past threats and deeds, to put us on our guard. It is high time, at least for us, to prepare for a prop er defense of our rights and interests.— These threatening people are ignorant and fanatical, and we doubt not will do what they say, and think they were only doing their duty then, for

BUCII

are the

teacliihgs and belief of Mormonism.

Romantic Story of a Picce of Hnmnii Hair. A magnificent piece ofhuman hair—the largest, finest and most valuable in America— is now hanging in the window of Thompson & Co., in Canal street, near Broadway. It is of a. dark brown hue, oft as silk, weighs seven, ounces, and sixty-four inches in lenglit—live feet four inches. On a medium sized woman, this would sweep the floor. The longest piece of hair on record, exhibited at the London

Exposition in 1851, belonged to Leon Pollery, of Paris, and was 72 inches in length. The story of this one that measured 64 inches is rather romantic. It "came from the head of a Swab ian peasent girl, who had two suitors for her hand, one a poor farm hand, who earned six kreutzers a day, and the other a rich miller. The miller owned the cottage in which the Swabian girl and her widowed mother lived, and being as selfish and unscrupulous aa he was wealthy, threatened to drive his tenants ont of their home unlaw his suit was successful, although they had already paid part of the price demanded for the cottage, and were saving and working to pay the remainder. In this emergency a travelling hair merchant appeared in the village, and sooner than marry the wealthy miller, or, on the other hand, have her aged mother driven from house and home, she determined to sacrifice her beautiful hair. It was taken to the Leipsic annual fair sold there for $175 to an American dealer, and from liia hands found its way to its present owners. It is valued at from $250 to $300.—New York Times.

HORRIBLE ASSAULT.

Man Cut to Pioces with a Razor.

From tho Dubuqne Times.] Last evening a most horrible affray occurred in the First Ward, on Locust street below Jones street. It appears two young men,brothers, named Scurry, had been out riding together in a livery turnout, and after going home, got inlo an altercation about the hire. The younger brother, whose Christian name we did not learn, got so enraged over the subject that he seized a razor and rushed upon the elder brother, John, and cut him terribly about the head and face. The first cut made a great gash in the neck, barely escaping the carotid artery. The next cut gashed across the jaw, upward. The third passed through the cheeks, between the jaws and reaching almost to the angles, at the same time almost Bever ing the tongue.— The fourth cut passed through the nose and down through the upper lip, letting thesa fall down like a curtain. Tho fifth cat passed through the under lip and overthc chin, and a sixth and Inst cut nearly dissected the thumb from the right hand.

A sister who was present, and probably saved the life of her brother, had her arm gashed fothe bone in an attempt to prevent the murderous assault. This action on her part alone prevented tho razor entering the carotid artery at the first cut. The assailant escajied, and up to ten o'clock had not been capturcd. The brothers have borne good reputations, and, it is said, were not under the inlluenceof liquor at the time of the affair.

Beportoi SelwtiM u4 AMacUoa «f afeu* Girl I* PMlaielpfclft-A Catholic Priest Charred with the

Crime-Vo Cltte to the Whereabouts ot the Girl.

From the Philadelphia Post, Feb. 4,} In the vicinity of St. John and Green streets there dwelt, until very recently, a family by the name of Dober. Their irincipal business was keeping a lager«er saloon, and in religion they were devout Roman Catholics. There were two daughters, named Annie and IxMiisa. Louisa is a handsome girl of some sixteen summers, bright and intelligent. Some sixteen months ago she manifested a preference for the Protestant religion, and entered the Sunday school of the Second

Reformed Church, Seventh street, above Brown, and until within a few days past retained a position as a scholar. She had been threatened and persuaded, but maintained her adherence to the new faith with a steadfastness that argued, her sincerity. Louisa is spoken of by her former teacher as a girl of excellent disposition, always attentive and obedient, and of an anxious, inquiring mind. During a sickness with which Louisa was afflicted last summer, she was visited frequently by Miss Tash at the house of her parents. The parents of Louisa .were invariably uncivil and rode to Miss Tash when visiting their sick child, and become so offensively demonstrative at last, that she was compelled, through fear of bodily harm, to cease her visits. During these visits Louisa expressed her apprehensions in regard to the improper conduct of a certain priest who frequently visited the house, ostensibly to reclaim her back to the fold of the faithful. To Louisa he was by turns mild and violent sometimes persuading the child with all his arts and wiles, at other times denouncing and threatening her with all the terrors and anathemas of the church. Louisa recovered, and again resumed her visits to the Sunday school of the Second Reformed Church, on Seventh street, with regulari ty, and was welcomed by her teacher and classmates. She informed Miss Tash of the continued visits of the false priest that an improper and criminal- intimacy

up between this wolf in sheep'

clothing and her sister Annie that the re suit of the criminality was plainly mani festing itself, and that her sister had iji formed her all about her condition and the doings of the priest. Thus matters stood until Wednesday evening of last week, when Louisa suddenly disappeared, and nothing was heard of her until Saturday last, when the following letter was received by Rev. Isaac S. Hartley, pastor of the Second Reformed Church On Sunday last the mysterious disappear ance of tho child was the theme of con versation and discussion in the Sunday school, and the letter was read to the school by the Supeintendent: "As I am a stranger to you, but not to mv Sabbath school teacher, I will take the liberty to ask you to sec my teacher and tell her not to go to our house, lest she may be taken prisoner, as I am in a cell of a Catholic Church, for being a heretic My teacher instructed me in religion, and my mother and father* arc both Catholics, and they have sent me here so I will not be a heretic. I will be sent to a Milwaukee convent to be a nun. I do not want to go, but I am forced to go. I will never be a Catholic nun, and when I get there will try to get away. There are two hun drcd girls to be sent there, some because they will not be Catholics. I dare not give my teacher's full name, for fear it may fall into the hands of the priests, as they are on the watch to know who she is, and if they get her they will treat her very wickedly Neither I no" my sister will tell her name to the priests. I have been abused for not telling her name, but, I will not, for they are very bad men. My name is Louisa Dober, and my sister'sis Annie Dober. Please go to the school and see my teacher, Miss as soon as you can. She is so good she is too good to be taken and made a prisoner in a convent. She was my best friend when I was sick. She has done more than my father or mother for me. I am very sorry I could not see her and tell her myself. Please do this for me, and you will be rewarded in heaven My sister has got the consumption, and will not live, I fear, till we get to Mil waukee. This is the third letter I have tried to send you the two first were de stroved by those who watch me.

"LOUISA DOBEK."

The letter, which bears a three-cent postage stamp and the cancellation of the Postoflice authorities, has evidently been written in haste and by stealth, portions of of it being in a bold hand, and the others light and evidencing tremulousness. W have seen the original of this .letter which is still in the possession of Mr, Hartley, and believe it has been written at various times and as opportunity presented. No clue lias as yet been obtained as to the point from which it was mailed

The whole affair is wrapped in deepest mystery, which it will take time to deter ne,and which will prove a source of great evil to the Catholic Church of this city if these facts be substantiated. The atten tion of the police authorities has been directed to the case, and it is to be hoped that the girls may be recovered to con front ana prosecute the clerical villain and the unnatural parents who were instrumental in the degradation of their offspring.

since a poor but. talented

gentleman of the medical profession conceived the idea that if he could produce a medicine of universal application and extraordinary merit, and make it known he could not only enrich himself and escape the drudgery of a Physicians life, but also benefit the sick in a greater meas ure than by his private practice. He therefore consulted with the best Physicians he could find and the result was the production of the Jndson's Mountain nerb Pills, a famous and most successful medicine. Ho began in a small way to make the Mountain Herb Pills known by advertising them and such was the value of his Pills, that in a few years he had not only amassed a fortune, but had that rare satisfaction for a rich man, of having relieved the sick, and benefitted his fellow-men in every part of the country, as thousands of grateful testimonials could prove. The Judson'a Mountain Herb Pills have enrhd Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint, Female Irregularities, and all Bilious disorders.

From tho Horrid

are shot down in the city and the country. Four men hare been killed in this immediate vicinity during the last three days

Between eleven and twelve last night Michael Culligan was shot and almost instantly killed. At one A. M. we saw his body stark and stiff, lying on the floor of Wm. Morrissey's boarding house, on Seventh street, twe doors South o:

A pistol mil entered the right nelow the nipple, and did the

same. breast just work of death.

Deceased was coming up Seventh street, from the south, id company with John Gorman and Michael Mead. Just as they turned down Messanie street towards Sixth street, they met three men coming up. John Gorman had dropped back a few paces, but was advancing towards the party when a pistol was fired and three men whom they met immediately ran. He followed one of them and struck him but hearing Culligan cry out, "I'm Bhot" ran to his assistance, and supported him into Morrisaey's house near by. The police

were

promptly on the track of the Sup

posed murderers, and in a short time arrested a man named Chapman, a baggageman on the Council Bluffs railroad, and took him to the calaboose. Up to one o'clock this morning no other arrest had been made.

Culligan was watchman at the Hanni bal and St. Joseph depot two years ago this winter, and served in the same capacity at the skating link. During the last summer he was absent, working on some railroad, or as some say, on the ferry boat at Omaha. For several years he was employed as fireman, deck hand and roustabout on the steamers West Wind, St. Joseph and Colorado. He was appai ently about 27 years of age, and was unmarried.

So far as we could learn, no provocation whatever was given by the deceased. The fatal shot was fired on the instant the parties met, and, as Gorman expressed it, before Culligan had time to tell a man yon lie."

The St. Joseph Herald o( the 5tli reports the verdict rendered by the coroner's jury as follows: "That deceased, Michael Culligan, came to his deatli by asliot fired from a pistol in the hands of II. L. Church, and not otherwise," and says: "The three men, II. L. Church, Frank Roberts and Fred Chapman, were arrested after midnight Chapman at the telegraph office, Roberts at his boarding house, on Sixth and Francis streets, and Church being found at his mothers, on Ninth street, in Pateetown. She is a widow, and is supported by her son, who is spoken of in high terms by all who know him, and is described as a quiet, inoffensive young man. He is conductor of a freight train on the St. Joe and C. B. railroad. Ho was taken before 'Squire Warner, yesterday afternoon, on a warrant issued by the Coroner, and, on motion of his counsel, Jeff. Chandler, Esq., the examination was postponed till to-day. No warrant was issued for Roberts and Cliapman, and, although they were for some time in custody of the police, in the afternoon they were unconditionally released. Chapman is said to be a switch-overseer or baggageman. When arrested he said when the shot was fired he thought Church was shot, and they all ran. Roberts, who was waked up out of bed, said ho was not the man who fired the shot that he knew who did it and stated to Officers Clinton and Allison that it was Church. Roberts is said to be an engine driver on tlieC. B. Railroad."
