Death of Willard Carpenter, of Evansville, After a Lingering Illness. Sjieclal to the Indianapolis Journal. Evansville, Nov. 6. —Willard Carpenter, an old and valued citizen of this city, died this morning at 10:15. Mr. Carpenter died of general debility, having been confined to his bed in an unconscious condition for nine days. The arrangements for the funeral have not been completed, but the body will probably be buried on Thursday afternoon. Willard Carpenter was born In Strafford, Orange county, Vermont;, March 15,1803, and there spent. Ins earlier years on a farm. The first money he ever earned was by digging sarsaparilla and selling it to his uncle. He realized twenty-five cents from the sale, and this atuoaut lie immediately loaned out at six percent, interest per annum, liy the earnings of odd jobs and the accumulations of interest, all securely invested, his capital swelled until at the age of nineteen he found himself unincumbered and undisputed possessor of $7. He then started out to seek his fortune, and lie walked to Albany. N. Y , where he invested the $7 in a stock of notions, which he peddled over the couniry. With the capital which he had accumulated in peddling goods be opened n wholesale dry goods house in Evansville in 1836, in partnership with two of his brothers. Iu the financial crash nf 1837, by the shrewd management of Mr. Carpenter, the firm realized the full value of all its claims, while other business men received uo more than 10 per cent. When Congress was asked to devote one-half the public lands within the boundaries of the Evansville laud district for the purpose of aiding the completion of the Wabash and Erie canal, Mr. Carpenter traveled for six months at iiis own expense, circulating the petition, and visited seventeen States urging the support of the measure, besides spending the larger part of his time at the sessions of Congress in 1843-4 and 1844 5 workiug for the passage of the bill. The success of the measure, the credit of which was largely due to Mr. Carpenter, gave the State a way out of its financial embarrassments. But for It repudiation would probably nave resulted. In 1850 Mr. Carpenter took an active part in the Evansville <fc Orawfordsville railroad enterprise. Iu 1851 he served as a member of the Legislature. He nrganize.fi the Evansville, Indianapolis & Cleveland 3traight-liue Railroad Company, and after building fifty-five miles of the first division, and spending nearly the whole of his fortune he was compelled to abandon the enterprise. Mr. Carpenter, at the time of bis death, was one of the wealthiest men in the State. He was interested m the rolling-mill at Evansville, and was a heavy railroad stockholder. He has given liberally to the religious aud educational institutions of Evansville. Among hie gifts may be mentioned the Christian Home for girls gone astray, the establishment of a poor-house svstem, the Willard-Carpenter library, including money and real estate amounting to $400,000, and many other smaller acts of munificence.

The Facts About Those Recently-Reported Train Robberies. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Danvu.lk, Nov. 6. —Highly-colored reports have been published of the robbing of passengers on the night of Friday of last week, near Danville Junction, on the I. B. & W. and W., St. L. &P. railroads. The facts are that a gang of three-card monte men were on the west-bound train on the 1., B. & W, railroad, and succeeded in relieving some of the passengers of their money. They then boarded the east-bound train on the Wabash road, and succeeded in picking the pockets of some of the sleeping-car passengers. There was no display of revolvers, and the other highly sensational accompaniments printed in certain papers were entirely wanting. It is not known how much money the pickpockets got away with, as those who received attention from them did not report their losses, but proceeded on their way. A certificate of deposit for $1,700, made to R. S. Smith, of Clinton, 111., found near the Junction, on Saturday morning, remains unclaimed, and doubts of its genuineness are entertained. No clew to the pickpockets has been discovered, and no unusual efforts to that end are being made. The good name of Danville and Vermillion county renders it proper that the facts in the so-called train robbery be known. Failure of a Danville Harness Dealer. Special to tlie Indianapolis Journal.

j A CHINAMAN’S PREDICTION Marquis Tseng; Thinks France and China Will Go to War, And that the Former Will Need Forty Thousand Troops in tile Fast Miscellaneous Foreign News. — • THE TONQUIN QUESTION. A I‘rnphesy as to the Result If War Occurs.

It will express astonishment at Tricou’s telegram and unqualified approval of the manner in which Marquis Tseng carried out bis instructions in regard to the Tonquin matter. It will, also, express the surprise of the government of China that the Fiench cabinet received Tricon’s telegram without a question as to the correctness of its statements, and used it publicly in the Chamber of Deputies. Toe Gaulois, of Paris, publisnes a report of an interview with Marquis Tseng, the Chinese embassador, at his residence in Folkestone, England, in which he said if a war occurred between France and China, which he deemed probable, Annam would become an ally of China, and France would need to maintain 40,000 troops there to overcome their united forces. Waddington, the embassador to England, in an interview, expressed the belief that the Tonquin question would he the cause of extended negotiations between France and China, but that tliev would not cause a rupture. LOUIS KOSSUTH. The Venerable Hungarian Patriot Lying at the Point of Death at Turin. London, Nov. 6.—Dispatches from Turin report that Louis Kossuth is dying in that city. The Hungarian patriot has passed his eighty-first year, and has been breaking down physically for some time. He has lived for over twenty years in an unpretentious dwelling in the city, and in the strictest privacy, devoting himself chiefly to scientific studies. The physicians say that M. Kossuth’s death may occur at any moment on account of his extreme weakness from old age.

Louis Kossuth, ex-Governor of Hungary, was born Sept. 16, 1802. at Monok, in the county of Zemplin, where his father was a small owner, of the noble class, Louis was educated at the Protestant college of Scharasehpatack, where he qualified himself for the profession of an advocate, obtained his diploma in 1826, and in 1830 became agent to the Countess Szapary, and as such, satin the Comiral Assembly. At the nge of twenty-seven he took his seat in the National Diet ofPresburg, as representative of a magnate. He published reports of the proceedings of this assembly on lithographed sheets until they were suppressed by the government, and afterwards in manuscriptcirculara. The government-, which determined not to allow reports of parliamentary debates to become current in Hungary, prosecuted him for high treason, and In 1839 he was sentenced to four years’imprisonment. After about a year and a half of confinement, he was liberated under an act of amnesty. In January, 1841, he became chief editor of the Hirlan, a newspaper published at Pesth. His influence with his countrymen steadily increased until, in March, 1848, he entered Vienna with a deputation to urge the claims of his country upon the government, and returned to Presburgas Minister of Finance. Uuder his influence the interna! reforms which he had advocated were carried out, the last remains of the oppressive system were swept away, and the peasants were declared free from all signonal claims, the country undertaking to indemnify the landlords. The Diet was dissolved, and anew Diet summoned for July 2, By which Kossuth was created Governor of Hungary, and he held that post during the civil war of 1848-’49. After the efforts of the Hungarians had been crushed mainly by the aid of Russian armed intervention, Kossuth was compelled to retire to Turkey. He reached Schumla with Bern, Dembinski, Perczel, Guyon and 5.000 men, and was appointed a residence in Widdin. Austria and Russia wished the refugees to be given up, in which caße they would probably have been executed. Through the intervention of England and France the demand was refused. The late Bultan behaved with great humanity aud disinterestedness on the occasion. The refugees were removed to KiPahia, in Asia Minor, where they remained prisoners until Aug. 22, 1851. Kossuth left Kutahia on Sept. 1, and, after touching at Spezzia, called at Marseilles, but was refused permission to travel through France. Having been hospitably received at Gibraltar and at Lisbon, be reached Southampton on Oot. 28, sailed for the United States on Nov. 21, and made a tour of this country. He soon returned to England, where he resided for some years, occupying himself chiefly in writing for the uewspapers and delivering lectures against the house of Hapsburg. One of the last occasions on which his name was brought prominently before the public was in 1860,when the Austrian government instituted a successful process against Messrs. Day fc Sons for lithographing several millions of bank notes for circulation in Hungary, signed by Kossuth as Governor of that country. In November, 1861, he published in the Perseveranza, an Italian journal, a long letter setting forth the situation in Hungary, and urging the Italians to commence war against Austria, with the view of enabling the Hungarians to develop their strength against that power; issued an inflammatory address to ihe Hungarians on June 6, 1866, and after the close of the war or that year advised the Hungarians to reject the concessions offered by Francis Joseph. He was elected deputy for Waltzen on Aug. 1, 1867, but lie declined to accept the office. M. Kossuth lives in an unpretending dwelling in Turin, where lie has resided for twenty years in the strictest privacy. Latterly he lias devoted much of his time to science, and he published a paper on the “Farbcnverauderung der Sterue”*iu 1871. AN UMBRELLA FOR A CITY. Proposal to Cover the City of Buenos Ayres with au Umbrella. Rio Janeiro Letter. Two German mechanical engineers have sent to the municipality of Buenos Ayres the following proposal to cover the city with an umbrella: Mr. Intendent—A ware of the spirit of progress of the intendent of the municipality of Buenos Ayres, we propose to construct what will undoubtedly be a convenience-—an umbrella of immense size to cover this honorable capital, with the object of protecting it during ruin—an umbrella of every profit to it, and that will make this city the most remarkable iu the uuiverse. The base or foot of the ntnbrell a will he placed in the Plazade Lorea, and thence it will extend eastward to the pier, westward to Almagro, northward to Palermo and southward to the Fiaza Constitution. I'he foot or base of the said umbrella will bo 670 feet in diameter and have the height, of 1,500 feet; the ribs will be of oast iron and thirty-one inches In circurafereuce and be placed eight fest apart. It will hoist upward upon the system of Harsihentinsburg. The lining will be made of wrought iron one and one-half inches thick, of the best make; that is of the iron made by Herr , ot Prussia. When hoisted, the umbrella will be over a mile ami a half wide, and around it will ho a canal communicating with the River Plata, to carry away the water that might inundate the city. The proponents, Messrs. W. Bournhofer and John Flockigen, offer to do the work for $5,750,000, and to hand it over ready within thirty months. ♦. FOREIGN MISCELLANY. Leaping from a Burning Factory—Forty Persons Injured. Paris, Nov. 6.—A fire at Uoubuix was in Deliies’s factory, where 300 persons were employed. Thirty women were working in the upper stories.

The scene of agony witnessed, while the victims were being extricated from the ruins, is described as dreadful. The Old Catholics and Luther. Bkrun, Nov. 6.—Dr. Dollinger, president of the Royal Academy of Music and a leader of the Old Catholics, writes that the Old Catholics may take part in the festivities on Saturday next, in honor of Martin Luther, apart from religious grounds, because he did so much for the language, letters and education of the country as to deserve the everlasting thanks of the Germans. English and American Courts.

It is probable the government of Great Britain will introduce, at the next session of Parliament, a household suffrage bill, which shall apply throughout Great Britain and Ireland alike. A bill for the redistribution of seats in the House of Commons will probably follow.

St. Paul, Nov. 6. —The election in this State to-day was for Governor, Lieutenantgovernor, Secretary of State, Treasurer, At-torney-general and Railroad Commissioners. Each county also elected a portion of their officers. The day was beautiful, and an unusually large vote was polled, the main fight being between the candidates for Governor. The Republicans renominated the entire present State officers, with Governor Hubbard at the head of the ticket. The Democrats nominated for Governor a Norwegian, A. Biermann, and as over four-filths of tbe Republican voters of this State are of that nationality, the Democrats hoped to make a close fight’for the office. Governor Hubbard had a majority of 23,000 last time, and leading Republicans claim 10,000 for him tllia time. A few Democrats concede more than 5,000. 11 p. M. —One hundred and one towns give Hubbard, Republican, 2.290 majority over Biermen, Democrat. Eighty-seven towns give Gilman, Republican. 1,600 majority over Fraser, Democrat; Vandammach, Republican, for Secretary of State, 2,700 majority over Green, Democrat; Hahn, Republican for Attorney general, 2,900 over Willis. Maryland. Baltimore, Nov. 6.—The election in this State, to-day, was for Governor.

The Legislature, which will elect a United States senator to succeed Groome, consists of twentv-six senators and ninety-one members of the House.

Hartford, Conn., Nov. 6. —The election in Connecticut was for half of the Senate, twelve members, all members of the House of Representatives, and sheriffs in eight counties. Returns at the Courant office at 8 o’clock show that the Republicans carried the Legislature, probably by 40 majority on joint ballot, and probably have nine otic of the twelve senators. This will make the next Senate stand fourteen Repubcans to ten Democrats. Republican sheriff* were elected in Hartford, Tolland, Middlesex, Fairfield and New London counties. Tns vote this off year shows marked Republican gains. Hartford goes Republican by 300, electing a senator and two representatives. New Jersey, a Democratic Oasis. Trenton. Nov. 6.—At 12:30 the returns indicate Abbett’s election by about 1,000 majority. The Republican State committee are still hopeful, The Democratic State committee claim Abbett’s election by a large majority, but give no figures. They also claim the Legislature, j Tlie Republicans will probably have the Senate bv three majority and the Democrats the House by four, giving the latter a majority on joint ballot. The Trenton Times will estimate Abbett’s majority at 4,226, and will give the Democrats six majority in the Legislature on joint ballot. The Remiblicans will have three majority in the Senate. MiHßiHßlppi. Memphis, Nov. 6.—Meager returns from Mississippi indicate a sweeping Democratic victory. A Jackson special says: The election in this county passed off without disturbance. The Fusionists ’ carry Hinds and Madison counties by large majorities. The only disturbance in the State, so far as heard from, was in Copiah county, where Wheeler killed Matthews. Matthews went to the polls with a pistol in his band. He received twenty-four buckshot in his face. There is intense excitement at Hazelhurst, Copiah’s county-seat. The Governor has ordered the Capital Guards to that point. They leave on the 1C o’clock train. Nebraska. Omaha, Nov. 6.— M. B. Reese, Republican, is elected Chief J ustice of the Supreme Court, over J. W. Savage, Democratic and anti-monopoly candidate by from 10,000 to 15,000 majority, according to Dest estimates, which is a somewhat reduced majority. There is a probability that later returns will reduce Reese’s majority. Republicans have elected the whole county ticket in this county, with the exception of one office. There was a light vote. Coloraria. Denver, Nov. 6.—The elections for county officers throughout the State are barren of important results, except this county, where straight Republicans made tremendous gains, electing Graham, sheriff, by over 1,000 against the combined strength of the Democrats, workingmen and disaffected Republicans. Leadville re-elected Becker, Democrat Kaiisns. Topeka, Nov. 6. —Only county officers and judges were to be elected to-day. Returns to-night show that the Republicans have been successful in almost every county. Martin, Democrat, is probably elected judge in this county. Minor Elections. Chicago, Nov. 6.—The election in tiiis city and county to-day was for one judge of the Superior Court and five county commissioners. Little interest was taken and a light vote was polled. Nearly complete returns from the city at this hour, 10:30 p. m., and an estimate of the county vote, indicate a divided result. The probabilities are that Jameson, Republican, forjudge is elected by a narrow majority. The Democrats will elect three county commissioners, Republicans one, and one in doubt. There were no special issues at stake and the results seem to have turned on personal popularity. Later. —Complete returns from the city give Shepard, Democrat, for the Superior Court judgeship4,oo6 majority over Jameson, Republican. Returns from the country towns cannot overcome tiiis. and the election of Shepard and tlie entire Democratic ticket, except one county commissioner, is conceded.

The Democrats elect a treasurer by 1,200 to 1,500, and three members of the upper house. Tb couucil is carried by the Democrats.

It will keep the air from it, which is one of the main points, and in using it. all that is necessary is to cover the burned surface with it, applying more as fast as it dries, until the pain stops. Do not wash the egg off for several hours, and then do it carefully, and dress with vaseline or mutton suet.
