TUE MISTRESS OF THE MANSE.

In social tasks and Dome employ, tsne did notquestloo what it meant; Bat bore her woman's lot with Joy And sweetness, whereso'er she went. If ever with unconscious thrill It touched her in some vagrant dream, She only wished that God would fill With larger tide the goodly ttream Teat flawed beside her, strong and still. She knew that love was more than fame, nd happy conscience more than love; Far off and wild, the wings of flame ! Close by, the pinions of the dove That hovered white above her came. She honored Philip as a man. And joyed in his supreme estate; But never dreamed that under ban She lives who never can be great, Or chieftain of a crowd or clan. m x.-iHit. avo va lib a. knife That pierced and plagued her shrinking heart.

THE CINCINNATI SENSATION A VERY SUCCESS FUL AFFAIR A SPLENDID ASCENSION AND SAFE DESCENT MRS. BASSUM DESCRIBED TEE PLUCKY CLERGYMAN. I be Cincinnati commercial tells in an an imated way the story of the balloon marriage in that city Monday: After a slightly cruo delay of forty-eight hours, caused by the bursting of the bridal balloon that was to carry them aloft, Mr. Charles M. Colton acd Miss. Mary E. Walsh, two young and blooming attaches of Bamum's Roman Hip podroine, became man aDd wife yesterday at 4:10, p. m at the altitude of one mile above the western edge of the city. The balloon ascended at 4:30 o'clock, and landed in perfect safety at 5:10, in a vacant lot just south of the Widow's Home, Mt. Auburn. At ö P. m. the bridal party was back in the city, the journey from first to last having been one of uninterrupted enjoyment. The opinion of the public generally in regard to the extent oi splendid humbug that Barnuin can accomplish amounts to a superstition, lie is supposed to be able to dazzle the judgment and confuse the visien to a degree almost supernatural. It strikes us that he is eiving the people this time a magnificent Bhow for a very reasonable price, and we do not hesitate to say that the hippodrome performances are quite beyond parallel. Yet some persons imagine that they are getting mysteriously humbugged alter all. The balloon wedding was pronounced by these knowing ones to be a mere advertising device, just as if the good looking young men and women around a hippodrome could not love and wish to marry With all the eclat attainable. The match yesterday was one of affection, and would hare occurred in commonplace lashion but for the fact that the press agent of the hippodrome, Mr. D. S. Thomas, wanted it to take place in a balloon. Through his efforts the consent of the young people was obtained, and he met with hearty co-operation from Mr. Barnum, hi captains, and the entire company. This was the first wedding in a liberated balloon on record. A couple were married at San Francisco a lew years ago In a balloon. waicu was secureu to eariu, nowever, by a rope. Cincinnati has therefore another event of novel interest to be placed in her note book. Mr. Barnuin has so large a talent for organization that he does not .spend much of his time "at the front." lie forms his departments, and over each of them places a tried subordinate. A constant flow of telegrams keeps him informed of the condition of affairs with the show. 'The news of the collapse of the balloon Saturday did not suit him. lie took the first train lor Cincinnati, accompanied by the young English wila he married abroad about two months ago. MB. AND MRS. BARNUM occupied seats yesterday afternoon in the lront row of chairs nearest the judge's stand. . The veteran showman looks hale and ac tive, though he Is now in his 65th year, and 40 years have elapsed since he printed his first posters about Jolce Iletb. Mr. Barnum is rather portly, 'has a fresh though not florid complexion, and is moderately bald. His hair retains enough ot the original light brown to make the gray a little doubtful. He shaves clean, and dresses in spotless black, ruffled shirt and drab kid. His jewelry yesterday was a msdium sized diamond cluster pin and a neat gold vest watch chain. His eyes are rather prominent and ot a grayish-blue color. Uis teeth well, his teeth are faultlessly regular, you know. He has a cordial smile, an attentive manner, and sprinkles his conversation with harmless humorous sallies. The famous Phineas is as well preserved an autumal gentleman as could be found the country over. His young wife, apparently aged about 24, looks like a lady of amiability and refinement. She is short in stature, inclining to plumpness. Her complexion is blonde, and her features are of a purely . English type. The eyes are blue, hair a golden brown, profile decided but regular. It was evidently her first visit to the hippodrome, for her interest was undisguised, and she watched the Indians and the buffalo with special wonder. Mrs. Btrnutn was richly dressed in black silk, black cloth cloak covered with jet bf ads, and a black V"'! ha with light blue ami black lVMtiter. . u ui -j,' ri ot thu left hai.d LLued v:;l live or six large diamond cluster rings. Mr. Barnnm was very attentive in explaining the various acts to her, though he was rnt-her struck himself by the spectacle of 'Indian life" which to had never seen belvra. Ha pronounced it "very good inJeeJ," aai so it is. Wo judo that since his

marriage Mr. Barnum has dispensed with the use of spectacles. When an usher brought him a note yesterday, he opened it carefully,

turned it right side up at last, ana men i his young wife read it for him. Döring the performance a call for "Barnum," 'Bar nnm," broke out in the audience. The livered carriage that conveys the gymnasia to and from the ring drove up, andMr.Barnum rode around the track, standing up ana acknowledging with his hat the plaudits that kept company wltn mm. äs ne reseateu himsellbvhiswlfehe said: "They are de termined to have the worth of their money to-day, and it's all right; they might Jost as well trot me out with the other animals." When Frank Whittaker mounted the jadge's stand to recommend the audience to take a peep at tne siae-snow menagerie, uo wound up his remarks with, "The menagerie is indoised by P. T. Barnum." Holloa," said Barnum to those around him, I didn't know I had Indorsed anything since backed the paper of the Jerome Clock Company." A performance, It will oe re membered, that swamped one of the several great fortunes that Barnum has made. That he still has A KEEN EYE TO BUSINESS was evidenced yesterday by his taking a roll of foolscap from his overcoat pocket, and handing it to Mr. Thomas: "Here," said he, "I've written up the advertisement for New York next week." The balloon, P. T. Bar num. the same used in the press ascension last week, and that burst on Saturday, hav ing been repaired and revarmsned, was taken to the old rink lot on Freeman street yesterday morning. The gas was turned ic5 her from the street main at 10 A. m. In five hours she was sufficiently inflated, and at 3 P. m. she was taken to the northeastern corner of the hippodrome lot, to a space in closed by canvas walls, in the center of this space was a ring, surrounded by ropes. for the balloon, the bridal procession, the band and the reporters. The remainder ot the inclosed apace was for the audience, which was about 5,000 strong. ThemulM tude in the park and vicinity was past enumerating. Fifteen or twenty thousand wonld be a reasonable guess. The afternoon was agreeably warm, and the sky, though free from banks of clouds, was very hazy. The smoke hung low and thick around the horizon. The balloon was held down by the weight of several of Donaldson's assistants and by a single rope. Beauti ful bouquets were fastened to the netting just above the car. The basket was covered with green and white cloth, festooned with tri-colors, and spangled with rosettes. It was carpeted inside, and the seats and lower ropes were covered with white muslin. Four flags on staffs protruded from the bas ket, the American ensigns keeping company with green flats embroidered in yellow with Irish harps, the bride wishing to bxnor the Island ot her ancestors. Soon after 4 p. m. the bridal procession came forth from the pavilion, keeping a measured step to Men delssohn's Wedding March. The band en tered the inner ring first, and deployed north of the balloon. The bride and groom beaded THE PROCESSION. The bride, attired in a rich pearl colored cos tu me, looked pretty, smiling, and entirely composed. The bridegroom looked serious, a little pale, probably, but resolute. We be lieve, however, that at any sort of a wed, ding the bridegroom looks scared. The groomsman, Mr. W. E. Coup, Mr. Bamum's right hand man, and Miss Annie Yates, the bridesmaid, came next. Miss Yates was charmingly dressed, and her delicate style of beauty would hardly indicate that she is a very daring equestrienne. These lour as cended the miniature stairway lead ing into the basket, and took their seats. Then the Rev. H. B. Jeffries, an agreeable young clergyman, possessing the coolest qualitv of courage, stepped in with a smiling countenance. Prof. Donald son, in his best hunaay clothes, was up on the woven wire "lookout" above the bridal quartette. He sung out to press agent Thomas, that he too must get aboard. Mr. Thomas may not have expected this, but be was in holiday attire, with a boquet at his button hole. As he made his way into the basket Mr. Barnum stepped up to shake hands with the passengers, a movement that seemed to alarm his wife, who probably believed that he intended to get in too, or tnat he might become entangled in the ropes. At all events she hurried Mr. Barnum away from the basket, and he took this bit of affectionate solicitude with good grace. A call was made on Mr. Coup lor a speech. He said that Mr. Barnum and his wife would make their first balloon ascension next Saturday, and that he would, therefore, turn over the balloon oratory to his chief. The brisk and clear-eyed Donaldson emptied a sand-bag or two, shouted to his assistants to let go the last rope, and the balloon, with a very gentle motion, was wafted a way amid the shouts of tens of thousands and enthusiastic waving of bats and handkerchiefs, which was cordially returned from the bridal car. The ascension was in a line much nearer the perpendicular than usual. The lower current of wind blew toward the southwest. Donaldson had expected to be carried in that direction. The clergyman feared a rapid transit to the skies of Kentucky, and in about three minutes after leaving earth he proceeded with TUE MARRIAGE CEREMONY, conducting it, we are informed, very impressively. The Swedenborgians have two marriage services, one lor important occa sions, about an hour in length. The other does not occupy over five minutes. Mr. Jeffries took the short route to wedlock yesterday. He made an appropriate address to the couple, alluding to their strange situation above the clouds. The responses were made, and, of course, no ruffian rival broke in to forbid the bans. A feeling prayer was onered, to which all listened with bowed heads, and then Mr. and Mrs. Colton were presented to their attendants for their concratnlatlnna, Mr, Hnnn Mr. Thomas and Mr. Donaldson ail followed the bridegroom and clergyman in kissing iuj uiiud. mau mcjr .ueu iua unuesmaiu. The end of the ceremony was signaled to the crowds below by dropping a parachute, which tumbled to the ground In a leisurelv way. The balloon had reached the elevation of one mile before the ceremony ended, but is nau BirucK anotner current, which carried it slowly and majestically eastward along tne nortnern boundary or the city toward Walnut Hills. The air ship seemed to creep over this' route so slowly that, in company with two other press representatives, we took a carriage at the hippodrome grounds, and gave -the driver the somewhat Quixotic directions to head off the balloon, bhe had ten minutes the start. a a. - . . . - out our venicie gained upon ner from the first jump of the horses. We drove hurriedly across the city to Hunt street, noting nothing on the way but the progress of the balloon, with an occasional glance at the groups along every thoroughfare that were watching her. When we reached Hunt street the balloon was dead ahead, between Avondale and . Walnut Hills. She was descending rapidly. We could discern that the drag-rope was out, and dis tinctly saw Donelson emptv two bags of sand to check the descent. We judged that the landing could be made in Walnut Hills, and took that road. Had we gone straight up me Avonaaie pine we Khouid hve wit lijocü iauuiDg. As it was, we were behind time only three or four minutes. On nearing the earth the balloon struck the or iginal westerly current, and we had to race after her in that direction. The dragrope trailed along Oak street, and passed near the Shillito mansion. Once it caught oi the roof of a house, but the balloon pulled

it loose. Donaldson was looking anxiously

for a t ' LANDING PLACE as the sun was setting. He found what he wanted in a depression just southwest of the Widow's Ilome, whero a pond formerly existed, but now quite dry, and almost level with the surrounding streets. The balloon moved at a snail's pace, as only a faint breeze was perceptible, it was an easy mat ter for a few men below to bring her at an anchorage. When we arrived upon the scene a thousand shouting men, women and children, mainly Germans, pressed In upon the basket, which rested upon the earth, some large stones having been added to the cargo. The bride and Dridosmaid were silting on the edge of the basket sip ping glasses of champagne, toe nrst bottle having Just been opened. The whole party were in the gayest possiDie spirits, and au snoke rapturously of the delights of the ad venture They were eager to ascena atram, but Prof. Donaldson said no.- He asked for more stone, and as they were deposited in the basket the bridal party disembarked and entered the carriages which had followed them out. Donaldson said that he would have the balloon towed back to the city, saving as much gas as possible for to-day's ascension. Mr. Thomas remained with him to take care of the balloon. The others were driven to the city. At the Crawford House, which was reached at 6 p. M. just one and'a half hour after the balloon sailed away from the hip podrome grounds, the Rev. Mr. Jeffries left the party, proposing to depart lor Pittsburg an hour later. Several of the lady riders were waiting at the Crawford House for the bride's return. They pounced out upon the sidewalk (it was dark by this time) and darted at the bride in the carriage to get the first kiss from her. The ladies kissed each other furiously, and then they cried a little. The bride and groom, brides maid and groomsman, were then driven to the Cathedral residence, where another mar riage was performed by Father Qninn, in accordance with tne desire of the bride, who is a Catholic. Archbishop l'urcell made a brief address to the couple, and presented to each of them his photograph. The party returned to the Crawford House, where the happy pair received their friends and wel cornea them with generous entertainment So ended the first balloon wedding. After the balloon landed we had some CONVERSATION WITH THE VOYAGERS, four of whom, the bridegroom, bridesmaid, Mr. Coup and the Rev. Mr. Jeffries, had never before made an ascension. They all agreed in pronouncing the sensations as in describably inspiring. Mr. Coup has been a great traveler, but never had as grand a sen sation before. He witnessed the ascension at Calais, France, last summer, where the aeronaut and his wife were driven out upon the North Sea, and after a terrible experience were rescued by a British bark. The recollection of that hair-breadth escape did not lessen his desire to go up with Donald son as soon as possible after returning to America. He is not well acquainted with localities in Cincinnati, but he no ticed particularly a wonderful birds-eye view of a Dark. Drobablv Washington park. From the clergyman we could get little but rhapsody over the general delights of ballooning. He found boundless enjoyment in the ascent, the wedding, the drifting, the descent and the landing. Pittsburg will lose a preacher some of these days and gain a balloonistone of the born kind, like Donaldson. This was Mr. Thomas' tenth ascension. He says the earth was rather indistinct yesterday when the balloon was half a mile high. The air was hazy, and she scarcely got far enough away from the heart of the city to escape the smoke. He was struck by the coolness of the preacher, and Eiaises warmly the manner in which e conducted the ceremony. Before the last words were uttered, the balloon bad pierced the last stratum of clouds, and almost at the moment the words were spoken, "I pronounce you husband and wife," they were lifted into a cloudless atmosphere and sparkling sunlight. A flock of birds that flew northward under the balloon excited much interest. Until the balloon reached the hills around the city, objects on the earth were but dimly visible. The ceremony was followed by a nice little wedding least, the- party being decidedly cozy and unquestionably merry. Donaldson never made a trip before in which he landed within the limits of a city. Mr. Thomas secured a copy of the preacher's address in the balloon, which was as follows: ADDRESS BEFORE THE CEREMONY. "Marriage Is of love, which imparts to the realities ot life all the charms of romance. The Creator has, In His wisdom, so con stituted humanity that the soul hungers and thirsts for love seeks affinity ot soul and when that is found the two blend their identity, love their individuality, and become one in thought, purpose and affection. For the sanctifying of this union ot soul and to cement these ties Qod ordained and insti tuted marriage, declaring that 'it was not good that man should be alone,' wherefore He provided an help-mate for him 'male and female, created He them' sent them forth a single pair, one husband and one wife, dedicating each wholly to the other together to enjoy the bliss of Eden, together to sutler the woes of expulsion to share tne joys or holiness or the miseries of sin." Then followed the ceremony and benediction, and then the minister made the following REMARKS AFTER CEREMONY: "Marriage is not an earthly but a heavenly Institution, belonging to the higher realms of life, and as such is it revered by the enlightened; the greater the enlightenment of any country or community the greater the respect it accords marriage. As an Institution above those of the world merely, it is, then, most fitting that its solemnization should be celebrated far above the earth.' May you, whose lifo-destinies have been joined together at this altitude, be always lifted above the adversities of life. Hence yen look down upon the multitudes below, who appear as pigmies from your elevation, and you see that the sun is fast going down upon them; shadows lengthen, and darkness will quickly enwrap them. Upon you the sun shines with greater brilliancy than we have seen at any time to-day; so may it be in life, and you be exempt from shadows and darkness, though you see them fill upon others. As you here serenely float above the hills, the rocks and the roughness below, so may your united destinies bear you above the rugged places ot life; may you have no hills ol sorrow to scale, no valley of adversity to pass through, no rock of passion to tumble upon, no treacherous ditch of contention to fall into. Soon we Bhall all descend to earth as we must shortly all go down to the grave. As upon leaving this vessel you two will pass forward in company while you live, so, when you have both crossed to 'that bourne from whence no traveler returns,' may your united souls in company explore the glorious paradise of God's redeemed." We did hot attempt to interview the bride. She made her first ascension in Philadelphia, last summer, and on her second, yesterday, doubtless thought more about matrimony than the navigation of the air. The youthful bridegroom had but little to say. lie should be credited with having made "a race for a bride" more sensational than that of the hippodrome spectacle. The balloon was towed back by band to the hippodrome grounds last night, which will save about a hundred dollars' worth of gas for the ascension this afternoon, for the benefit of the eveniDg press. On the journey down, Donaldson remained 200 feet aloft in the basket. When the ropes carried by the gang beneath came to telegraph wires, the obstruction was passed by double rope?. Immense crowds on the streets wituet&ed this singular enterprise.

II03IE CORRESPONDENCE.

THAT FROG PORTER COUNTY WAR THE MICHIGAN CENTRAL VS. INDIANA HOW THE FORMER WAS WHIPPED A GLORIOUS VICTORY FOR INDIANA, WHICH IS SHARED BI THE B. A O, RAILROAD. Special Correspondence of the Sentinel. J Porter County, Oct. 20. The war is over and peace reigns once more at the crossroads. To begin at the beginning, as the story tellers say, let me say that this in fernal dispute which has nearly caused bloodshed, and has brought about a bad case of disregard oi law, has bad its full share of suits in court. The B.4 O. road has crossed several traeks on its way from Pittsburgh to Chicago and no opposition was made nntil they arrived at this crossing. The Michigan Central, under the control of officials who feel their elevation too much, thought they would stop the B. fe O. from laying a frog across their track. They went into the circuit court of this crunty and sued for an injunction and lost their case. A committee or assessment was next ap pointed who said the M. C. shonld have $100 damage. This did not suit and the case was appealed to Judge Drummond. of Chicago, who, alter sitting on it for a spell, hatched out the opinion that he had no jurisdiction. The B. fc O. folks thought they h?d been delayed sufficiently long, and accordingly got a mandate from tho court and on attempting to read it and make the crossing, which would complete the track on both sides of the M. C, w ere repulsed by the employes of the latter road. Sheriff Robert P. Jones telegraphed to the governor, and the getting of troops, telegraphing to James F.Joy, president oi the M. C. to disperse his men, and the leaving of the troops on Monday night over the I. P. fe C. road, are well known, After a delay at the yards in Indianapolis, owing to the forgetfulnesa of some one to nut the ammunition aboard, we sped on to Walkerton. where the B. A O. road crosses. Here one of their engines was in waiting to carry the two coaches of guards and the one car oi artillery west to tne scene oi no. The distance was thirty-five miles. Some of the track had only been dwn three weeks, while none bad been laid longer than three months. Your correspondent, in company with two gentlemen on the same errand as myself, took a seat in the engine. Ahead of us was the one flat car with Gatling guns. Altera few minutes' delay in switch ing the throttle was opened, and Engineer Scott KOD'nette told the fireman to keep his shovel moving. The first 16 miles were made in 30 minutes, which was wonderfu time, considering the aire of the road, and within an hour and a half after daylight the train stopped at a signal. Here were found Judge Cowen. of Baltimore, general solic itor of the road. ex-Gov. Baker and Judge Anthony, attorneys of the same, and Chief Engineer Randolph. Adjutant Genera! Conner went ud on the train, and after brief consultation of these gentlemen, the army moved on, eager for the affray, to within 300 yards of the crossing. The Gat ling guns were MANNED AND SIGHTED. The infantry formed in line, and Captain Wlghtman placed himself and army at the disposal' of one of the firmest sheriffs in In diana. It was a treat to see the pluck and firmness of this man and Judge Cowan, both of whom f6lt that they had been tampered with enough the day before, and wanted to go rieht to work, now that they had sufficient forces. The scene was a picturesque ono, and would do well for an illustrated paper Fine, whitish sand was ankle deep everywhere save a spot where a cluster of bushes was to serve as a retreating place to the newspaper correspondents and lawyers in case of battle. The army was got in line and the officials of the repulsed road went up to the fence f the M. C. road and asked ot the mob if any of their officials were about who would be high enough in office to be responssible in a parley of peace None were there, and the rioters replied that they had orders to resist the laying of the crossing. The B. & O. folks then held a parley with themselves as to whether they should read the mandate of the court to the men. some four hundred, and then proceed to lay the crossing or not. Gov Baker was ot the opinion that they had better wait awhile until some of the of ficials came as in all probability the men would open hostilities if work was begun and blood would flow in consequence. He thought they had better wait a week rather than nave any shooting done. During this delav the guards were placed around the entire blockade. The latter consisted of twenty cars, three engines, an im mense pile of ties, and rails and lastly bu far from least the rioters. The opposing road to enable regular trains to pass, bad built a switch around the main track on which the blockade stood. This alone was great expense, and now, considering tbei ignominious failure, must seem doubly ex travagant to the stockholders who will pay for swollen-headed officials blunders. About half-past nine o'clock an engine came from the west, and Chief Engineer lienry a Gardner alighted. He came up to the fence and was immediately waited upon by ex-Governor Baker and Chief engineer Randolph, at his own request. He said he would come over the fence it he could be entertained by the above gentlemen only, V hich was granted. A few minutes couver sation ensued, and Gardner was walking fast back to the dividing line, when he was ARRESTED BY THE SHERIFF on a warrant for forcible detention of real estate. The rioters" did not seem to appreciate this to any great extent, and crowded up to the nearest point at the fence to hear what was said. The writ of possession or mandate of the court was read to him in full by Adjutant General Conner, during which time several trains were stopped as they entered the lines, by the authorities, and examined. Captain Wightman had to give the correspondents for the Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago papers passes to pass the guards, who otherwise would not allow them or anyone to pass. The adjutant general and Gardner sat on a pile of ties in the center of the open ground, and at the conclusion of the reading Mr. Gardner began saying that he thought he was not arrested fairly, as Gey. Baker had invited him inside the fence. The governor replied that he would hear no imputations of that kind, and that he had no Idea the sheriff would arrest him. Mr. Gardner apologized, and said he knew Gov. Baker's character too well, etc As a matter of courtesy to Mr. Gardner the attorneys advised the sheriff to take him beyond the fence and then arrest him. This was not done fortunately, as Mr. Gardner said that if Adjutant General Conner would go up to Lake station with him, he wonld do some telegraphing with Mr. Joy and try and settle the matter without loss of blood. Gov. Baker then said that if this would be done he would go his bail, and the sheriff relinquished his right. Another delay of an hour was made by this move, during which time a barrel of coffee, some bread and meat were served to the nearly famished soldiers. Right here let it be said they behaved extremely well, although their appearance was not very soldier like, owing to but a few being uniformed. They were not boisterous, and when brought up before the rioters they stood the jeers of the latter patiently, and obeyed orders in arresting and j guarding men as well as though they loved

to do it.- During the delay the! following

men were f ARRESTED FOR RIOTOUS CONDUCT of the day before. One of them was ar rested for blowiDg an engine whistle to scare horse of one of the 'B. fe O.'s men. Their names and oc cupations were: Henry Keicklser, engineer; Patrick Donnelly, track repairer; Alvey C. Spaulding, carpenter; Lansing Mclntyre, conductor of a construction train: Garrett Welsh, worker in the yard at Michigan City (where most of the rioters were from); Hiram Johnson, brakeman; George Lawrence, conductor of a construction train: George Locke, machinist; John O'Neil, fore man or iron ore; W. II. Freeman, engineer; M. CarrolL fireman; Pat. Hoben, boss of hands; James Potts, assistant road master. When arresting one of the above, the rioters offered some resistance, and for a mo ment it looked as though we were to have some shooting. Judge Cowan, who was in the middle of the crowd, gave orders for the guards to come to the rescue. The word was earned to Cspt. Wightaian, and in a moment more the guards were coming towards tne idod in douoie quick time with charge bayonets. At seeing this the resistent was discontinued, the man captured and bloodshed avoided. In all these troubles it was rn amusing sight to see the Chicago Tribune's correspondent, who made himself general Dutt tor joking tbronghout the day. A fellow who undoubtedly has a gooa nose ior news," but has no compas sion on his fellow . reporters in the way oi "Döring tnem." There are warrants out ior many others, among whom is Mr. Joy, the president. The men arrested were taken before a justice of. the peace, and bound over to the Civil icircuit Court ot Porter county By this time, 11 o'clock, the rioters were considerably weakened. It is not altogether a stimulating sight ior a rioter to see men with loaded and bayoneted rifles walking among them, and occasionally arresting in a mud Dut nrm manner one of their num ber, and especially a leader. If Joy, Gard ner, and ail the officials were arrested they would not break their hearts over it half so quick as they would should those bayonets guard the treasury from whence came the pay for the belligerent labor. So when that plucky little sheriff gets on the lence and tens them he wants every mother's son of them to get away from the obstructions and come inside the fence under arrest of the soldiers, they do not hesitate long to obey his order. If at all it was only long enough to look up the track at those murderous Gatling guns sighted on their crowd. Mr. Gardner, thinking he had bet ter say something, gets up on the obstruc tions and makes a speech. He advised the men to obey the sheriff and not resist the State of Indiana. He then said that he wanted it understood that the Michigan Central only relinquished their resistance because they were overpowered and did not want to resist the authority of Indiana. It would have been due time to have come to this con elusion last night when the mob was resisting the sheriff who is of Indiana authority and not have thrown his deputies over the fence.or torn up their warrants when they were endeavoring to enforce the law of In dlana. However, the ringleaders were picked out of the mob and the balance al lowed to go. This they did right hurriedly and shouting with joy at being at last out of such an uncivilized and ungodly mess. The B. & O. workmen were then called up from their place of quietude. a mile back, and Bet to work removing the blockade and putting down that frog that would a suing go. By dark it was done, and the troops left for home. All is serene and the B. & O.'s rooster crowä while the M C.'s is badly ruffled and is thinking what next to do. W. O. F. THE OLD STORY. BETRAYAL AND BETRAYED A WASHINGTON TALE. The Washington correspondent of the Courier-Journal writes: Last week, for the first time, I read in your paper Theodore Til ton's views on the one great sin. When I read the concluding paragaapb, where he speaks of the woman being brought to the temple to be stoned, and asks so pertinently, Where was the man t" and answers his own question in this wise: "The man probably went away among his companions to laugh; indeed, there is no evi dence that he was not her chief accuser, and the ringleader in her punishment" after reading this I thought of a similar case in our midst. To-day there walks, with bead erect, a man (perhaps many men, but this one I speak of especially) who, after ruining one innocent, unsuspecting girl, mar ried another, who was almost her near neighbor. His wife is very beautiful and attractive. When the story reached her ears, and the poor little babe was brought to her notice, her heart almost broke, and she resolved to leave the man aitnougn ne naa oniy Deen ner nusoana a few months. Relations thought it best to take no steps in the matter, and she was dissuaded from obtaining a divorce. But the smooth-faced villain was not content with the misery he had wrought, but sought to regain his power over tne girl during a temporary absence of his wile. Poor thing, she was trying so hard to be worthy of the forgiveness of her father and sister, who had not cast her off. One day a car, filled with passengers, was passing down the street. One young man in the car called the attention of another to a beautiful girl wno was aoout entering a store, and named her as the mistress of . He had mistaken the innocent young sister, and a woman in the car, who overheard the remark and knew the girl. made it her business to call at the house of THE TWO SISTERS and relate what occurred in the cars. The young lady turned upon her unfortunate sister, and with vehemence reproached her for the disgrace she had brought upon the family, and added that she would no longer live in the same house with her, but would hereafter live with a relative in another city where she could escape insults. The poor wounded heart gave way, and the forsaken one fell to the floor in strong convulsions. In three days she died. Her betrayer sat upon the steps of his father-in-law's dwelling and watched the funeral as it passed. He was in the best of spirits, and was quite ready to join with those who would Btone her to death. He associates with gentlemen, and will no doubt work the same ruin in another household when he has the opportunity or inclination. And there is a God. My readers may perhaps think I have touched upon an indelicate subject. But it is a subject that every woman is concerned tn, and if we would not have onr houses contaminated by such men, then should we cteadily set our faces as well as our pens against them, and forbid their intruding among pure women. This young man's character was well known before he married. And yet no one warned the girl firm becoming bis wife. The other girl expected to become bis wile. For three years she considered herself his betrothed. To her he steadily denied his attachment to any but her, and then counted upon her womanly desire to conceal her s Lame and at the same time protect him. She was betrayed, deserted, and disgraced, while he, Jin the presence of a goodly company .perjured.himself with another. He has never manifested any compunctions of conscience for what he has done, and perhaps will be trusted in business, and his crime, though well known, will be lightly passed oyer,

A TERRIBLE ENCOUNTER.

PERILS OF EXECCTTNO LAW TERRB HAUTE UilCKS TAKE A MCRDEROCS DEsrERADO BRAVERY AND SKILL SUCCEED. That Terre Haute has the bravest of officers, both in Sheriff Holland Chief-of I'oiice Shewmaker and their subordinate, has been often demonstrated before, but not often in so thrilling a way as on last Sundav night. When thtr ariratari . k " . t j - -wv n vj ji IliU worst robbe: s and desperadoes in this coun try, hi. tu imminent pern or their lives. The Journal's account is as follows: About 4 o'clock KnnrJav aftnrnnA cs.r;r n.n i , , -v"u uudi ill uuu received information through private sources u m uuwu ueswnwo namea William ftuuiwru couia oe iound at the house of Hiram Rolls, a small )-; n tn v.A - . t . w uc7 nvuuq about a quarter of a mile east of Col. R. Y. luumjrauu a resiaence, rour miles southeast Of the CitV. It was Alan hnnoVit tk four other thieves would be found there. Accorumgiy, tne sheriff made arrangements to capture the gang. He took two of his deputies. Officera FmAv an1 U.mlltA ,1 ' J " uauuiwu. aUU procured the services of three of the city iuji.c,vuioi ouowmaser and uiueera 15ucki n sham and Van rl n vor a tutii.i. ...t.i.nj of Barker fc Alvey, and the bIx men started "um " uarit. leaving tne wagon in the woods a quarter of a mile away, they approached the house. Officers Yandever and Buckingham went around to one side of the house, while Sheriff Hull with Erney and Hamilton came to the other side and knocsea at the door. It was opensd by Rolls, the proprietor, and they entered. Two men were iound within, enjoying a social game. One of them was Rudilord. Mr. Hull said: "Is your name Rudiford?" "T. " he replied. Then Officer Vandever, (v l.o had with Ward ilavward gntnmi Mm years ago robbing Andrews' shoe store, and iiorouaequonuy Knew mm) came up and said, "Hello Bill?" The fellow replied, 'You don't knotv me." "Yes he does," said Erney. "I guess you'll come along with us to town, Mr. Hull" then added. THE DESPERATE STRUGGLE. Rudiford studied a second, and said "Well, all right, I'll go." He arose and walked to the bed where his coat was hanging, closelv accompanied by Hull, Vandever and Buck ingham. Just as he reached tho bed he whirled around, and reached to his rear for a revolver, "lie has a pistol hold him!" exclaimed Hull, seizing his arm. But Rudiford jerked out a revolver, and Hull and Vandever wrestled with him trving to hold his arms. Ttnu-ncram eized the revolver and tried to pinion the hand that held it tn hia Aa But Rudiford succeeded in twisting his uanu arouna so as to point the weapon at Buckingham's breast, and pulled the trigger. The hammer came down partly against Buckingham's finger as he held it, and struck the cartridge with sufficient force to make a small impression, but with not quite enough to explode it, owing to the resistance of the fiDger. Shewmaker and Buckingham then Instantly wrested it from him. He produced another revolver from somewhere In his clothing, but Vandever at once got it away. The man is six feet high and of extraordinary power, and the four officers had quite a fight. They choked and beat him, and fell over the bed, smashing it. Hull struck Rudiford with his fist, hurting his own finger badly. Vandever struck him on the head with his revolver, and a peculiar projection in it made a hole that let out the blood in good quantities. Vandever also gave him a bad kick in the ribs that knocked the wind out of him. and after the others had secured a good hold upon his threat and arms they succeeded in tying him fast with a rope. The smaller man was easily disposed ol by Erney and Hamilton, and a revolver was found in his vest pocket. He refuses to give his name, and won't say anything. He is known, however, to be a precious jail bird. The window sash was smashed, and other damage done in the struggle. Rudiford and his accomplice were shackled together and brought to the city, arriving about 11 o'clock, and both were safely locked up. OTHER EXPLOITS. It is said that one of the policemen, on seeing the ball taken from Mr. Jerry Packard's head the result of the-shootlng on Saturday night immediately exclaimed: "I'll bet a dollar that's from a bull dog." When the re volver that Officer Vandever took from Rudiford was brought to the light and examined it was found to be a new "bulldog" (the brand of the weapon), and one of the cart ridges had no ball.and looked as if it had been fired not long before. This is an extremely suspicious circumstance, besides the fact that the description of the two men answers well to that given of the two who shot Jeremiah Pickard. There are half a dozen other charges against them, and it is reported on the street that the Dickman robbery is intimately mentioned in their case. Of this last, however, we can not affirm. It is sufficient for the present to know, however, that the officers have made a good haul. Tbey are also tobe commended for wrestling so desperately with Rudiford, trying to capture him without seriously hurting him. He is an old offender, and besides serving two years for his attempted robbery of Andrews' store, he escaped from the penitentiary while under sentence for a robbery in another county, but was afterward recaptured. The Terre Haute Gazette of Tuesday evening adds : The city papers of last Saturday gave the particulars of the robbing of II. A. Day, a Greencastle jeweler, of some sixtyfive watches which he was carrying from his store at night to a bank for deposit, and of the long chase which Marshal Allison had after the desperadoes. Last night the jeweler and the marshal came over from Greencastle, and visiting the jail, identified the two men caught near Col. Thompson's on Sunday, as the same who "gobbled" the watches at Greencastle. It seems likely that these two desperadoes can be identified as the perpetrators of every crime and misdemeanor which has taken place within 200 miles of Terre Haute, for the last six months. We are Dot even sure that they can not be proved to have set fire to Chicago, in 1ST0, and that Mrs. O'Learv's cow is, after all, an innocent and much abused animal. One more pleasant little episode of the campaign, wherein the good in man rises above the evil in a political contest, is related by the Laporte Argus. Itsays: Major Calkins is a man, every inch of him; and while we rejoice over bis defeat we can not help feeling a tinge of sorrow that so good a man has been sacrificed. He illustrated his generous and manly character by sending the following dispatch to his competitor as soon as the result of the election was knewm Laporte, Ind., Oct. 14, 1874. To the Hon. W. S. Haymond, Montlcello, Ind.: I give it up; accept my heartiest congratulations and best wishes. W. H. Calkins. The New Albany Ledger Standard, which has fought early and late for Mr. Kerr, very rationally glories in the triumph. It says also: Upon the return of Mr. Kerr to the House he will at once take the rank among his colleagues in that body which was ac-. corded him whilo lormerly a member, and exercise an influence that never could have been commanded by the present occupant of the peat, and to him will be awarded a measure of confidence and respect, even among his political opponents, mat win prove a source of profound satisiaction to his constituents, aud au honor to the State and the district.
