Tccr llvrrlble Tmie of Old Dan nrri, the Murderer f Deputy Sheriff fhraM Priwa rt Quartered la PrUon Cell. Patches from Mt Vernon gm additional particulars of the terrible tragedy enacted there on Monday night. They also describe more fully the horrible outrages which led to tt murder of Deputy Sheriff Thomas and ' the summary execution of the four negroes. It serins that on Monday night, about 11 nVif.-i eiirht neeroes. lawless and drunk. went to a house of ill-fame near the out stiri of the town and knocked for admitThoro war three eirla in the bouse.and one el them inquiring what was wanted was Dwerei that a messenger with a note was wa'tine she opened the door, and avoung nepr.o sood on the steps, and just behind him a gigantic fellow with a cocked revolver, who ordered the girl to open the door, and commanded hia confederates to enter. The 1 demanded money from tii ci.; who did not have any. Thescoun dre ri fie 1 the house for plunder, during whl.h one eirl attempted to escape by a fn of the scoundrels prewnted t..t,,!th' at her head, and told her he would ki-; her it she went that they had business with ner. They then huddled the girls into o:t room, and, putting out tne ngnta, inau-n-r-kto.1 a hMstlv carnival, holding their pistol" at the girls' heads and compelling h. nr. in anhmlt to the loathsome embraces or one after another, for an hour, during m- time the frirls were not await or utter a sound on peril of death. A little after midnight all departed, leaving th- women fuintincr and sick. N?xt morning, in spite of the election, there wa3 great 'excitement In town, and oftcers, armed with warrants, went in search of lus ravihers. The villains lived in Belle- ' ville, the negro quarters, and bad not fled Jin; iood. Jeff Hopkins, Ed Warner and "William Chambers were arrested on Wednesdav and put in jail, the arrest being kept as qr.'et as possible in order tn prevent lynching. On Thursday the town was greatly excited, t ut no steps were taken while the officer;-ve-e in search of those who had esFndav morning at 2 o'clock Deputy Sheriff . S. Thomas, Deputy Marshal Ed Hayes, Constable William Russell and Charles Baker west to the house ot Dan Harris. Sr., a negra ;0 years old, whose son, Dan Harris, Jr . was to be apprehended on a warrant fo: being one of the ravisoers. They sur rounded the house, and Thomas knocked at tbe door and demanded admission. It was refused. He demanded it again, and order- - ed she parties inside to strike a light. Old Harris told him to strike a light himself. T hi. in as went to the side of the window with Ka?ell 0 parley with the parties, and as tbv approached" a double barreled shotgun wa- pushed out and discharged within three fe?t cf them. One buckshot grazed Russell's cheek, and 18 buried themselves in Thomas' facr. tLroat and breast. The jugular vein wa cat, and one shot went through his heart, while his shoulder was blown off. He tapered a few feet, said, "Boys, I'm shot to dealt," and fell dead without a struggle. Ed Hayes advanced to the window and was also fired at, and emptied a shotgun into the window at Harris, but neither was hurt mui.h. Harris getting a few squirrel shot in his arm. The officers altogethei uiede a raid on the house then and. after a struggle, succeeded in gctt-cg old man Harris, but young Dan was not there. He is supposed to have got out - ;i.ehoK when they took old Harris to jail. Ab ut 6 o'clock found a great crowd, armed with pistols and guns, hungering for the Uvk of the men in jail and for Harris. Sev en! of them attacked Harris as he was car ried throueh. and nearly succeeded in ahtiotius him. and but for the excitement e':t There, which diverted them, would have done it. They-put him in jail, and Have, Jim DunD. Biker and others locked themselves in. armed to the teeth, and de licti the nioh. which was howling outMde and demanding entrance. Major Menziej an'. William Kelson made quietiDg ad drfea but no attention was paid to them. Vner the resistance of the officers it was lina'lv concluded to wait till night. One colored man who came into the mob began to talk freelv. and was set upon. lie tied. n: (1 was shot in the back of the neck by trjniebodv. and will be laid up some time. Early in ths morning telegramsconccrning the crisis were sent to J?anhvnie, wnere an the leadine citizens were attending the Unl ted S'ates court, and it became rumored that Governor Williams had been called on to send the Kvanaville rifles and LighOuards militia This rumor put the mob into a perfect frenzv of excitement. Two hundred men. arme'd with guns and pistols, were or dered to the depot to await the coming of the train, and prevent the militia from getting of. A cannon was got out of quarters and tinder the charge of the remainder of the crowd.was hauled to tbe court house and Wanted in front of the house, facing the street to tbe depot, and a determination ex pressed to keep tbe troops on u every man died. This diverted the Infuriated crowd from the prisoners, although a strong armed fnar w bent about the iail all day. The roiliiia did not come, as there was no author itative call for them, and at I o clock the ex rirermnr had somewhat dissipated, allhougl armed men were crowded in the streets and about the Jail. Not a negro was to be seen in town. At o'clock Friday evening the long roll of a drum echoed through the street., and soon thereafter several hundred men started out of the city and assembled in a dark wooda half a mile out, whsre 100 long black maka were ready. They spent an hour preSarlng the work and taking oaths of secrecy, e&nwbile a newspsper reporter visited the jail aad ' talked with the doomed men. In the corridor lay old Harris, lean and bloody, with frousy whiskers. He was unable to talk above a whisper from loss of blood. Ills rlcht arm wu shot to pieces. and a load of shot in hia side n.arlv done the work. He raked had one m,A mmiA ho had dona the ahootine which killed Thomas, but thought the men who came were George Daniels and Henry Jones, who had threatened to kill him. He reluctantly admitted things which placed his traiit beyond the shadow of a doubt. Jeff Hopkins, a tall, black brute, 42 yet" old, was next, anl denied his guilt. William Chambers the third man, was a tall brown f:tow, with black moustache, and has just b. -n acquitted o? the murder of Patrick McMulu at Grand Chain last winter, although evuvbody believed he wa guilty. Jim :.. iio I.r lust been pardoned for raiKj, A villainous looking six footer, magnificently h.i.w Hon ad in the most aoiemo man r."r sny connection with the af. fair. "You want me to tell tbe tru h, gen tlemen," said he in deep tone, and without a quiver, "and I say before God and man I never had anything to do with it." IaIward. the last of the five, was a yonng, slim, flouchf looking boy of 21, coal black and as cool as a cucumber when called to the cell door. He quit praying in a monotonous vole, nd told the reporter that he was not ia the crowd that ravbhed the women; that

i

he had been sick all Monday and Tuesday. 116 was arresveu iu ueu uj w un.., w they say he was shamming, and when in bia cell he appeared as fresh and strong as any well man in the crowd. . Old Harris alone presented a pitiable appearance, looking weak and sick, but cool and unmoved. He lay on a pallet without uttering a sound, while the other four, locked in tbe first cell from the door, were kneeling on the floor, with heads bowed to the wall, praying in the loud, monotonous, shrill tones of the camp meeting negro. A single candle shed a sickly light upon the scene, and the lat hours in the cell were terrible in their gloom. Just as the last interview was finished the crack of 'a pistol was heard. 'Ed Jliys threw open tbe door, and saying. "No. let's slip, boys, there s murder on hand," tbe reporter and one or two persons privileged to enter hastily ran out into the beautiful court house yard, shaded with heavy locusts. The night was clear, and a bright moon pouring its light down made the acene ghoet-like and Impressive. The cannon wnich had been used to defend the jail in the morning had been brought to ths jail entrance, loaded and primed, and pointed blank at the door. A gunner stood ready with lighted match to apply, if necessary, while Ed Hays, Matt Nelson, William Kenns, Charles Baker, Frank Wright -and another, armed with shotguns, took their povidone about the jail and ordered the large crowd to clear the yard for fear of accident in whatever might ensue. The crowd, consisting of two or three hundred men, fell back to the fence and across the street. The miserable, guilty wretches on the inside be?an to pray and call on God to save them. For ten minutes it appeared to be a false alarm; but there was heard the steady tramp of two hundred feet, and a few minutes later a hundred men, the best of the yoemanry of the county, physically and probably in reputation, marched up the street and filed by twos into the vard and up the guards without a word. Every man had on a long, black mask, falling from forehead to chin, like the inquisitors of old. All bad changed ft- anme were turned lining out. and a hundred wavs of disguises assumed. Not a word was snokei.. not a demand made; but as the leader arrived at the door where Haves, the marshal, stood, at a signal the little kuot of guards were seized. Another company of masked men had deployed to keen the crowd back, and as the guards were attacked, avollev of pistol and gun shots was fired. A melee ensued, in which the cuards and gunners were over owered. and their weapons taken from them, not without a strong resist ancc. however, for in the discarga of weap ons Alexander Crunk, the new sheriff, who was standing in the yard, had Lis right eye destroved bv a buckshot. His brother, John Crunk, had his face and neck filled with shot, and two other men were slightly wounded. So far there had not been a word uttered, and. except the firing of the guns. no eound was heard excep" the low, plain tive nravers of the doomed wretches, wnicn thnee who were near could hear, rise in the stillness that settled down. Ed Hayes, who had not had time to get it away, bad tbe key of the outside door taken lrom him, and in a moment more the door was opened, and fifty masked men were In the corridor. Here lav the o d man. tiams, on uis pauev, and over Dim the mob crushed with iron heels before his eroans warned them of his A lieht was brought, and it was then discovered by the determined men that another and stronger door stood between them and four of their prey. In 10 minutes a cold chisel, sledge hammer and a crowbar were brought, and in willing hands the work of cutting through tne iron wan beean. The hopeless victims of the thirsting mob had Davd no attention to tne ureaa avengers, but went on wivn ineir prayers Aa the ttrst heavv blow ot the sieuge ieu on the iron the plaintive voices, urged uncon sdously into a heightened tone, began to cry, Ob, God, have mercy on yo lamo: "Oh, Jesus, save yo' child!'' One moined out ' Oh. I see de waters of Jordan and de f-et ob de Lamb! Ub, save yo innocent child!" But mincies after minutes the dull thuds fell with unfeeling certainty, ana as bar after'bar gave way the crowd began to thirst more for blood. But all was quiet as the erave. and not a sound was heard. ' The crowd stood stock still, only the ghostly fiLMires of the masked guards, who strolled about with guns and pistols cocked, speak in? not a word to aov. While the awed amvexpectanicrowu were waiting outside a horrible deed was commit ted on the Interior. The surging crowa. rendered desperate by the slow destruction of the iron door, had with hushed voices, and almost by glances, agreed upon an aw fnl vpnppanc:e for Ihoinas. ine oiu man Harris who lav on his pallet lite one inuiiO ...... J ferent to his end. wan surrounded by men from whose hearts all human feeling seemed to have fhd. and the place filled with a demon. Without a word he was eeizea, a hand clutched about his throat to stirle any scream, and a anife plunged into his heart. In Ave mlnatea "ins oouv was rut in Dieces like a hog. head, arms, legs all seraated, and the sickening ma of human flesh flung into the privy So quietly was the awful act perpetrated that not a soul knew of its communion until after the dread culmination of the night's horrid work. Who did this deed nobody knows, or ir he does, or suspect, be dare not onenhislirs. In 40 minutes from the oneninzof the front door this crime was committed, and iu five minutea more the cell door yielded to the chisel and sledges. and with a crash and a rush tbe heartless crowd went in and seized the prisoners Twine had been nreDared. and in five niln ntci each of tbe four had bis wrists tied tiirhtlT behind his back and a rope thrown ahnnt his neck. The doomed men uttered not a word of pleading, nor faltered an in atant. At five minutes before 11 the little group at the jail door received orders, and the masked guarda again moved back tbe crowd which had beeun to struggle into tbe yard. A minate later a little procession emerged from the iail door. First came Bill Chamhem three men leading him bv a rope about hia neck, while one walked with him. He aald nnthinr. but his step was firm. Next came Jim Goode. Jeff Hopkins and Ed War per, in the order named, all walkirg firmly, but on either side of the latter walked a man who appeared to support him unnecessarily. There waa no abuae. and not one of tne d.mmed wretches craved mercy. The gloomy nroceas ion moved to the fence on the rmth atria of the son are. last where the mas slve portico of tbe splendid new temple of justice and mercy looked upon the scene which mocked lta pretension and stained its nortala. Here stand three locust trees, within three feet of the fencethree of the 1 majestic row that fringed j.be square, me I tire men were led under the latal trees, whoee branches reached out, ready for tbe work. The rope about Jeff Hopkins' neck waa thrown over tbe limb at the first trial, but tbe others caught ta the leaves, and three or four minutes was spent in haviDg men climb the trees and put the ropes over. Not a word waa yet tatd, except all the prisoners were softly praying, but stood firm m rock. On the street in iront a dense crowd was drawn up, patrolled in front by masked men with gleaming pinols, and as far as eound was concerned the whole mlgbt have been a cnantly dream or vision. Although liopr . - .. .i ....... .i kin executioners were reoy luej wtiuu to falter, and Jim Ooode was tha first to be pulled up. As the roan who put the rope over linUhed his task he caught the end and, holding it, swung from the limb to the ground. The tension canght Good aDd pu'.led hira on tiptoe. When the executioner released his hold fioode fell bwck on the rope and could- not be lifted. He had r-int. nl hta death was painless, rive n.en seized the rope and swung him up three feet clr and tied tbe end to the fence rt. The others were run up im mediate! v. Chambers on the tree with Goode, and Hopkins and Edwards on another. The

crowd, which was driven across the street as

the hanging began, were, after lo minutes, allowed to approach the bodies. As tbe crowd rushed forward the mob quietly slip ped away, unmasked, and the members mixed with the bystanders. At last accounts the bodies were still hanging. STATE INTELLIGENCE. Houston Brown, a wealthy farmer Imng near CI y men, was killed instantly Saturday evening by falling from an appie tree. On last Satmrday, in the beautiful and moral city of Franklin, where they will not even tolerate billiard tables, an officer was selling on executiou at public auction the furniture of a poor vnmuan minwier ior taxes. Anderson Herald: The hog cholera in Stonycreek and along the Hamilton and Madison county line ia doing great damage. Among the losers are Noah Ryan, 41; Charles Fisher, 75; Zack Huffman, 40, and many others smaller numbers. John Shafer and Sade Jackson, the alleged murderers of Ella Shafer, have taken a change of venue from Jennings county, and were brought overland to Maaison saiuraay night by Sheriff Dickson, and placed in charge of Sheriff Nugent. The case wilL ba tried in the Jefferson circuit court, probably before Judge Allison. Jacob Roberts, living near Columbia City, was tired of life; in fact, very tired. He first tried poison and failed; he then went for his throat, which was another failure. Recently, however, he strolled off to the woods unnoticed, and after trying to break his head with an axe, be chopped on nls left arm and bled to death. Nothing like perseverance. riymouth Democrat: In this offioe may be seen one hill two stalks of the baden white flour corn, brought in by Mr. 8. M. Gardon The stalks are over ten feet in height, above tbe average thickness, and each has three good ears of sound grain. This variety is probably the most prolific ever grown, the usual average being six ears to me siaia, me maximum being fourteen. The reunion of the Ons Hundred and Twenty fourth Indiana regiment and Fif teenth Indiana battery takes place at Winchester on the 24th and 25th of October. The committee having the reunion in charge say they have assurance that there will oe a run attendance of officers and privates. Colonel James Burgess, tbe first colonel, who now resides in Topeka, Kansas, will be present. Crawford County Democrat: Peter T. Byerly, teamster for W. P. Lverdon, met with a serious accident last Thursday while unloading a saw log at Mr. Everdon's saw mill. He was prying the log off the wagon. and just as the log left the wagon slipped and fell with his bead ainxing a log, ana me saw log which he was removing rolled on him. He was badly bruised, and tne con cussion made him lifeless for a time. He is improving. In the eastern part of Franklin county there has for a number of years past lived a man by the name of Applegate, who had considerable property, but being of weak mind was under guardianship. He is about fifty years of ae. Some two weeks since, through the influence of aoma parties, he was taken over into Ohio and a license pro cured and married to a woman by the name of Johns, aged about twenty-three years. 8oon after the marriage the bride procured some strychnine to kill rats, and gave a dose to her husband, but fortunately ne am not get enough to have the desired effect. She was arrested and lodged in jau. The bodies of the four lynched negroes, Jim Goode, Jeff Hopkins, Ed Warner and Bill Chambers, were allowed to hang the entire day at Mt. Vernon for the multitude to . a a t. gize upon, t nere is gooa reason i oeneve thai at least one or me negroes execuveu, Jeff Thompson, was not one of the party concerned in the rape of the white women, and would have been able to prove an alibi by respectable white citizens, with whom ne was in consultation concerning the election at the time the crime waa committed. There is little prospect that any or the citizens engaged in the lynching will ever be brought to trial. Of course, many of thsm are known to each other, and perhaps to the law omcers; out tne semiment oi me peopie 13 i s'rong that their lawlessness will never be made a subject of legal investigation. Richmond Free Tret: John Flately owns a farm north of this city, and Mr. and Mrs. Niswitcb were his tenants. Mrs. Niswitch and Mr. Flately happened to go to the spring after water at the same time on the 13th day of September. While at the spring. Mrs Niswitch says Flately attempted to take im proper liberties With her; caugnt ana lorcibly held her and kissed her. As soon as she could release herself she ran to tne house and told her husband, but thev concluded to keep the matter quiet until after they moved away from Flately's place. Saturday the case came before the mayor.whon the first indict ment of assault with intent to rape was withdrawn, and, an Indictment of assault substituted, to which Flately plead not guilty, and a fine of $25 and cowts was imposed. Mrs. Niswitch has also brought civil suit, laying her damages at So,00U Lafayette JournaJ: The bold burglar is here. This evening one week ago he visited the house of Mrs. Heath on Ferry street and took a lot of trinket f great value to the family. On Wednesday night be dropped into the Co-operative tailor shop on the corner Of Sixth and Main and helped himself to a lot of small articles. On Friday night he called at the wbolesale liquor house of Barney Koppenrath & Cov, and got wbat odd change there was In the drawer, some postage stamps and two or three bottles of colored water. On Saturday Ight he vial ted the office of Thomas Underwood & 8on, and appropriated four gold pens, 30 or 40 cents worth of postage stamps and au overcoat, the property of Will Tlmberlake, valued at $: The wbolesale house of Robinson A Hale-waa visited during the week, and some change and postage stamps taken. The entrance into all the above places was made by the use of what ii known aa the "jimmy." Tb police have a suspicion, that the work ia that of a gang of half grown boys. A gang of about 30 tramps have, forseveral weeks past, been camped on the river bottom on the west bank of tha Wabash, near Terre Haute, and have made the days and nights hideous to all paasera-hy by tnetr orgies. Ther have been suspected of being thieves and were closely waicueu. vm t"uir several freight cars at ttie Vandal la yard were found broken open and numerous casea of valuable goods stoleu, and property from several dwellings and store found to be missing. Late Saturday afernooon the Terre Haute police made a raid there, finding the camp in a terrible drunken frolic, and much fighting going on. At first ttie tramps showed fight, but after a short combat the police captured most of the gaDg and a larg amount of valuable property. Again i o'clock 8unday morning an itinerate peddler .applied to the police to go to the catuo and rescue niavne, who, ne aiu, was neiu l"-" by them. A party of police were soon mere. a irwnrwl i Via woman I od iff d in an old lent OI.U luuuw 1 - , in bed with two trnira and two others asleep in the tame tent All were quite drunk and abusive, tha woman the worst of all. A desperate flght took place between the tramps, huuband and olice, ending in capturing all and finally breaking up the entire camp. The pang are a UejperaiQ ap I pearlng crowd of vllliana.

FINANCIAL AND. COMMERCIAL

FINANCIAL. OiriCXOr TH IirDIAHAPOLJS SXXTIKEI,, MOSDAT EVaJtlKQ, Oct. 11, 1878.1 There Is no change in the local financial situation. The discount market baa maintained a quiet sort of action, though a firm tone has prevailed owing to future prospects. Commercial paper has been taken at 7(33 per cent., the Inside rate for strictly first class secured. COttHER CIAL. There is not much new to note In the general merchandise markets. There has been a sensible improvement in some lines. In the department of groceries, sugars and coffees are In good demand, but unsteady as regards prices, and trade In other goods is excellent. Tbe same causes which operated last week to depress the grain markets arc still bearing down the price of wheat with considerable vigor, leaving dealer without any intelligent theory upon which to calculate when bottom is reached. Although Liverpool quotations show no decline since Friday, Uie market is feverish, and financial affairs In England in such shape as to require a curtailing of bank accommodation and advances on consignments, which has greatly depressed the American export trade. In this market there Is scarcely any wheat offered. Corn is in sympathy more or less with wheat, and is quoted lower at all point. OTerlngs arc small, while the order demand for ear loads la good. New mixed, November and f)eccmb3r, Is salable at 27c; sellers ask 3 J and 32 cents. Oats are easier, and the demand Is light. Pro visions are quiet but steady. The flour market is quiet and unchanged. There is no change in country produce. INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS. Breadstnflft.

Troupe ai a tenor aluifer, 1 tooW a severe cold and waa laid op at Newark. N.J. Thlocoldbrongiitoa aacrere attaclc of Catarrh, which 1 bauled wlta cvrrv known remedy for four weeks without ay a 11, and waa anally obliged to gire np a most deslrabla position and return home, unaMe to sing a note. Tor three yi-ara afterwarua 1 was onnble to alng at all. The fln-t attack of Catarrh bad lcftmy nasaTor gans and tliroM bo sensitive that thealiKhtcat cold would bring oa a fresh attack, leaving ine prostrated. In till way l continued to nutter. The laat attack. the n vcn-t I ever had. was terrible. I auflered the moat excruciating pain la niy bead, was SO boaraa as to be scarcely able to eptak, and cotighed Incesssntlr. I thrupht 1 waa going Into quick consumption, and I llruilr believe that bad tueae symptoms continued without relief they would have rendered me an eaxy victim. When In tins distressing-condition, I commenced tbe nse ofSxFoRD's Radical Crux roa Cataeeh. very reluctantly. I contn, aa I bad tried all the advertised remedies without benefit. The flratdofreof this wonderful medicine trava me the areatext relief. It is bardly poneihle for one whoe head aches, eyes ache, who can scarcely articulate distinctly on account of the choking accumulation in his throat, to realize bow much relief I obtained from the first application ofSAKroRD's Radical Crr.a. L'nder Its Influence, both Internal and external, I rapidly recovered, and by an occasional use of the remedy since, have been entirely free from CatarrU, for tbe am lime in twelve years.
