They gave ua no quarter give them none. All things considered Wesley Hauck is on top.

Lon Duddleston got a big vote for Lon Duddleston.

The Gazette did valiant service for the Republican ticket. -:j

We have the executives in Terre Haute. Execute the law.

Terre Haute turns the tide of municipal elections in the year of our Lord 1889.

Pitzpatrick's money and trading counted big for him but not quite big enough.

We oare not what other cities may have said this spring, Terre Haute says it is stalwart Republican.

"Jim" Fitzpatrick is one of the nicest of nice fellows, but we don't need him in our Republican business.

Those long legs which support Lon Duddleston's long head did great work. Hustler Lon is a winning card, indeed.

Our esteemed contemporary made an especial plea to the workingm9n in behalf of Sanderson for clerk. Mr. Duddleston, his opponent, led the ticket.

When the Republican party of Terre Haute cut the comb of Fitzpatrick yesterday it put aside the most formidable Democratic politician in Vigo county.

The new Republican mayor of Terre Haute has an opportunity to make a reputation for himself that will not be confined to the corporate limits, of the

There is no good, reason why mercy should bs shown to those who for three or four years have used all their money and influence to defeat the Republican party in this city.

There is to be no mercy and no quarter for the wide-open people who have been "running things" in this town. After the polls closed last night one faro bank dealer put up $25 that Schmidt was elected.

The one Republican candidate on the Republican ticket for councilman on whom the Gazette made a particular fight was Mr. John Thomas, in the Third, Democratic, ward, and Mr. Thomas was elected.

Terre Haute, all things considered, achieved the most pronounced Republican viotory of the municipal elections this year. Down in the First district in this state and elsewhere throughout the country the Democracy achieved viotory. The Eighth district may not make a Bpread eagle display in convention, but it gets there just the same when other localities are lacking in returns.

Diiddleston, the popular young Republican, can have what he wants. He crrried the city by the biggest majority ever given a candidate on a city ticket and THE EXPRESS is willing to bear witness that its long-legged friend never hinted at a bargain to the injury of a Republican candidate. As he truthfully Baid, when serenaded last night, it was Republicanism, pure and simple, that won.

Councilman Hybarger, proprietor of a policy shop, is, by the fortune of the Democratic party in electing one out of six councilmen, still the leader of a majority in the oouncil, but what will this Democratic leader do now to defend his gambling friends? Next Tuesday the Republican mayor will be installed. He will order all laws enforced. He is the executive officer of the city government. We would like to see a clash of authority between Hybarger and the new mayor who comes into office as the representative of a revolt from the Hybarger rule.

V- THE CITY ELECTION.

The result of the city election yesterday is plain on the face of it. We don't see that the Republicans are in any way beholden to their Democratic friends because the general majority is with the people who have pronounced this spring aB against the party of extravagance and lawlessness. Were there oloee results in different instances there might have been reaeon to suppose that the people were not generally opposed to a radical change of the programme. While many causes can be adduced to explain local results, the general result ftfrnishes full cause for the belief that the people of Terre Haute want a change.

They want a change from that policy

of government that give* the all-night gambling saloons free use of the city for their predatory pursuit*. They want a change from that policy that winks at the violation of the law. Two years ago onr acknowledged enemies gloated over the result. Let them mourn over the election yesterday. No man elected yesterday can honorably play the part of friend of these lawbreakers who for several yeara have used their money and influence to secure the election of their friends. None of them would have helped a Republican, unless he thought he was thereby helping the cause of his friends who are the Democratic officials.

A missionary, who had labored for a great length of time, in vain, to convert a cannibal king. In whom he took a deep Interest, and whom he had taught to read, one day asked him this question: •fWhy," said the good man, "why Is It, I wonder, that I am still unable to reach your heart?"

To which Question the monarch replies as follows: •My friend, In the journal you so kindly lent me, I find that the shortest way to a man's heart Is through his stomach, so yon will be permitted to take that route to-morrow. Would you prefer to boiled or fricasseed?"

Moral: A little learning Is a dangerous thing.

Cleveland Leader: John Greenleaf Whlttler Is one of the noblest of the "grand old men" of America and of the whole world. In the beautiful and Inspiring poem which he contributed to the centennial celebration at New York there Is the reverent dignity, the deep thoughlfulness, of age, but there Is also the strong hope, the throbbing enthusiasm of a heart too strong and brave to lose its freshness and courage with advancing years.

Milwaukee Sentinel: President Harrison, when a condldate,-declared that, If elected, It would be his sincere purpose to advance the reform. If he shows a disposition to disregard this pledge he Is a fair subject of criticism, but It does not become the men who, professing to regard civil service reform as the most Important issue of the day, remained mute or became apologetic while the spoils svstem was being applied with energy under Mr. Cleveland to take the lead In criticising General Harrison.

The bronze

relief for the monu­

ment over General Sheridan's grave at Arlington cemetery, executed for Mrs. Sheridan by Mr. Samuel Kitson, has been cast, and during the present week will be placed on exhibition at Tiffany's, in New York. The monument is to be unveiled on Decoration day. It iB to be a simple monolith of granite, plain on three sides, with a medallion bust of Sheridan, over which is draped his headquarters flag in bronze, and on the side facing Washington. The only inscription will be the single word "Sheridan." The bust is an excellent likeness of the dead general, and the whole monument will be simple and in good taste. Mr. Kitson is now engaged on a bust of Sheridan, of which several copies will be made, to go to different parts of the country.

Haibtone at Fault.

MOUNT ST ERLING, Ky., May 7.—Bert Curtis, a farmer's son, aged 18, died last night of hydrophobia. Curtis and a cousin were sou filing recently, when the farm watch-dog rushed in and bit both of them. The dog was found to be mad. The two young men had their wounds cauterized and also applied a madstone. Only one, Bert Curtis, succeeded in getting the stone to act. From his wound it drew off considerable greenish fluid. Nevertheless, he was taken sick on April 28th and gradually grew worse, till he died in great agony.

A MASTERPIECE OF CRIME.#*

{Translated bom the French of Jean Klchepin for the Courier-Journal.

His name was Oscar Ltapissotte he was poor, without talent, and he thought himself a man of genius.

Hisfirat care, on entering a literary and journalistic life, was to take a pseudonym his second was to take an-, otherj and for ten yean be used all the fantastic noms de plume he could invent to arouse the curiosity of his contemporaries. This cariosity, which he seemed to fear, but which, on the contrary, he greatly coveted, made no attempt to penetrate the thick shadows of his individual existence. Under all the strange names that be signed to bis articles, Jacques de la Mole, Antoine Guirland, Tildy Bob, Gregorious Hempska, eta, eta, he remained the most obscure of writers and the poorest of men of letters. Glory cared not for him. "E pur, si muove," he often exclaimed to himself, in the phrase of Galileo,

WI

have something here," and he tapped his head, which he thonght profound because it sounded hollow.

It is incredible to what aberrations literary vanity sometimes drives its victims. There are men vf^teal talent which it has led into inconceivable absurdities, and even induced to perform shameful and odious acts. What pow"r has it then when it torments a wretch of acknowledged inferiority? Exhausted patience, incensed pride, an acquired inaptitude and a life warped by a useless but unremitting hope, arouse in him the idea of ending his mieerjr by suicide, or escaping from it by a crime.

Oscar Lapissotte was not brave enough to choose death. Besides, his pretensions to intellectual superiority round food in the idea of a crime. He said to himself, in effect, that his genius had taken the wrong road in employing itself with the dreams of art, and that it was intended for the brutalities of action. Moreover crime might bring a fortune, and riches would help to bring into the light that transcendent soul that now sickened in poverty. Thus, morally and artistically, this unknown wretch proved to himself that it was necessary to commit a crime.

He did it. And, as if fate wished to prove him right, for the first time in his ife he produced a masterpiece. n.

About ten years before the day when he became a villian, Oscar Lapissotte had roomed on the Bixth floor of a house in the Rue Saint Denis. Loot in the midst of thirty or forty lodgers, known only by one of his numerous literary aliases, he had become the lover of a gossipy maid, who told him all her petty affairs. She was a servant in the house of a widow, who was old, sick and very rich. He remained in these lodgings only a few months. All thoughts of his mistress soon slipped from his mind.

Years passed. One evening he called on a friend, a house surgeon at the Hospital Pitie, and in traversing one of the wings to reach the main door, he recognized the maid, who was near to death. She said to him that she had lived with t.Vift nlri ladv unt.il" thyee wqplt% batpca, that her place was temporarily filled by a housekeeper, that her mistress was too infirm to come to visit her, and that this was very distressing. "I understand," said Oscar. "You wish to see her?" "No, it is not that. It is that I am afraid, if I die here, that she will read the letters I have left at the house and despise me after my death." "But why should she despise you?" "Listen! I will tell you the whole truth. You were my lover once but that was long, long ago. And then you know very well that I was not suited to you. You are an artist, a man of the world. You looked at me a moment in passing and thought of me no more. But in the old lady's house is a man ot my own station, a coachman, who, if my mistress Bhould ever find him out, would be my ruin. I have done so many wicked things for him! Ah, tbe scamp! I was madly in love with him. He is the father of my child tnat is why I did as he wished. He always promised to marry me. To-day, I see plainly that it was a trick but no matter! My little one will not be badly off with what I have left him and madame will bis kind eiiough to look after him, too, for I have written her about the child. I have the letter here under my pillow, and I want it sent to her when I am gone, but only in case my papers have been burned beforehand. Otherwise I should rather eat the letter. I do not want madame to know what I have done. She would have no pity on the boy if she knew he was the child of a thief. "Come, come, my dear," said Oscar, brusquely, "explain a little more fully. You speak so fast and so confusedly that I can make little of it. I must understand the case if I am to be of service to you."

At that moment Oscar Lapiasotte had no thought of crime. He was led simply by an ordinary journalistic curiosity he scented a story he was after copy. "Well," replied the maid, "I will try to be clear. I was taken sick suddenly, with an attack of apoplexy, in theetraet, and they brought me to the hospital. Madame left me here because I could not be carried to her house. I have written to her and she has replied. The housekeeper came to see me in her stead. But neither to madame nor her housekeeper can I speak of that which torments me. I have a package of letters of the coachman, of the boy's father, you know. These letters are full of incriminatidfe words about the thefts to which he urged me, or thanking me for what I had done. For I robbed her yes, I robbed her for him, robbed my mistreee! I want those letters burned, those wicked letters! But there were in them expressions of love, and promises of marriage, and assurances that he would acknowledge the little one. That is why I preserved them. One day the scoundrel threatened to take them from me in order to compromise me. I refused him money, and he gave me to understand that if he once got hold of the papers he would do with me as he pleased. I was terribly scared. To put them in a place of safety, I asked madame to take charge of some family papers, which I was very careful of, and I put them in her desk. She gave me a drawer for myself, with a key. Of course I could send word to her that I need the papers. But I am afraid of the housekeeper, who would have to bring them to me. From some words she let drop, I believe she is being worked by the coachman. He is a smooth talker, I tell you. He must be after the package of letten he knows their hiding place. There, you know my trouble. Oh, if you would be so good! I do not deserve it, I know but it

I bag of you, help me. I dont know why, but I have faith in yon I am sure you will do that which will help me to die in peeoe."

Oscar LapieaotU took the km Hip eyes wen fixed. A audden pallor covered his faoeb His thin lips twitched nervoualy. Suddenly the possibility of a crime came to him. Thia woman dead, the thing waa easy enough to carry oat. "I am choking, I the sick woman, wl talking^iad weakened. thing to drink."

10 exertion ot ve me some-

The ward was almoet dark, being dimly lighted with one night-lamp. In the neighboring beds everyone wise asleep. Oscar raised her head a little, draw the pillow from under it, and placed it over her month, when he held it with a firm hand for at leaat ten minutes. With cold-blooded boldneas he waited, watch in hand.

When he uncovered the face the woman waa dead from suffocation. She had neither made a movement nor-ut-tered a sound. He replaced the pilloir under her head, and drew the bedclothes up about her ohin. The body looked aa if the woman were asleep.

The bed was not far from the door, and the assassin went out noiselessly. He passed down the hall and out of the gate to the Rue de la Pitie without halving been seen, it was 9:20.

Without loaing any time, all in a fever of brutal excitement, he atrode toward the Rue St. Denis. He entered the house a little before 10 o'clock.

On the way he had fully matured hia plana. He went firat to the stable, where he found the clothing and personal effects of the coachman. He took out a cravat, tore a atrip from it, and put the piece in his pocket.

Then he mounted the. back atalrway four stepe at time. The old lady's ropm waa on the seoond floor, and it waa possible to reach it without being won*

He opened the door, entered noiaelessly, atepped into the madame'a chamber, and in a moment more waa atrangling the sleeping woman. Here again he had the devilish coolness to keep his grip on her throat for,a full quarter of an hour ..

He then opened the secretary. In the large middle drawer there were bonds and deeds^in the drawer on the left a package of/ 'bank notes in that on the right some rolls of coin. The total amount, including notes and drafts^ to bearer, waa about 140,000 francs, with which be-filled his pockets.

He IheirTJUBwff nimi^lf with the letters. He readily found them tucked away in a corner. He burned them in the fire place, taking oare to leave intact a number of fragments, compromising the maid and the coachman. Several well selected bits sufficed to tell the whole story of the child, and the robberies planned and. committed. He placed these near the fender, eo arranged aa to give the impreasion that the lettera had been burned in haate and that the thief departed before they were entirely consumed.

He twisted the pieoe torn from the coachman's necktie about the clutched hand of the dead woman. Then he went out, like a'flash flew down the stepe to the street, and ooolly strolled along with the calm and dietracted air of a wandering dreamer.

Trolly Oscar Lepisaotte waa not deceived in believing himself a man of geniua he had a genius for crime, and he worked with the hand of a maater. [TO BE CONTINUED TO MORROW MORNING.]
