WICKED WHEELER.
The Arrest of John TV, Wheeler, Formerly of Cotlnjton, Kentaekj, Where an Indictment is Standin? Against Him For Having Ravished Alle Glandon, of Lafayette, Indiana. How Wheeler Waa Arrested Hla Attempt to Adbuct Her Sister Maarglm From the Reformatory. From the Sentinel of Friday. The soft sunshine of yesterday serving as a harbinger of the approaching spring cast a feeling of joy over a great portion of the Nation that the timo is not far distant when the roses will be in bloom, and the cheerful chirp of the birds in the wild wood will fill the air with melodies, and all nature will feel jubilant. The sunshine of happiness perhaps shone more brilliant within the bos'jru of one who had for years been tempest-tossed and buffited the mad waves of misfortune and adversity. To see one of her children, who was at one time a monument of promise and purity, draped from the throne of virtue and made the victim of debauchery at the hands of an uncle, one who should have protected and cared for her as would a parC Yesterday was a day of Providential blessing bestowed upon one who was indeed deserving. We refer to Mrs. Glandon, a widowed lad of Lafayette, who is now apparently past the meridian of life, but her demeanor marked her as having been a lady of remarkable force of character, and out of the storrnworks which misfortunes have made upon her face there are the unmistakable traces of education and high breeding, and enough left to make one sure that some time in life her beauty was of po mean reared and nurtured in Kentucky, and in her girlhood days she was a reigning oeiie ot wovingion and Newport of her native State. She had for her neighbors some of the first fumUiM of the Commonwealth, and Kentucky's great Governor awl United Cf tna sUniiir lfnn. John W. Stevenson. VMllVS k ..ww. , - - - " . was her neighbor, and his children were her playmates. Tim etirv in brief, though it should be more full portrayed, is in substance, as fol lows: In 1SC0 the husband of Mrs. Glandon died, vh;ia t tlmt time thev were living in La favette. Of the members of the family there were two daughters, Alice ana Maggie, aged respectively seven and five years. Alirp. who was the elder of the two. was, by the request of John W. Wheeler, who is an uncle 01 tue gin ?, toi.-n to rwinertoii- Kv.. to live with Wheeler and his wife, thev having no children. Mrs. Glandon being a sister of Wheeler s wife, the tormer leu sate in intrusting to Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler the care and custody of her oldest daughter. She was taken to Covington, and lived witli the Wheelers as one ol tue lamiiy. TIIK CRIMK. At the time of her going to the Wheelers as above stated, she wa seven years of age. At the age of twelve Wheeler (her uncle) forced hei to surrender uer vinne. naving ravished her and under fear of death the girl was made hide her shame for three years. In 1377 the eirl become enciente, and in the course of nature was delivered of a child. The girl . gave as the author of her shame that of her Uncle Wheeler. Suit for bastardy was in etituted by the girl's mother, and judgment .' obtained against Wheeler for $4,000. The girl being under the age of eighteen, a suit for seduction was also instituted, wiierein a judgment for $10,000 was also obtained, 'Tne judgment for bastardy soon failed to be of value, occasioned by the death ol the cm Id. BAP BO. The fact that the,girl had been made the victim of her uncle's hellish design by force remained a hidden secret until on the trials for bastardy and seduction, the evidence was sufficiently strong that at the next session of the Grand Jury that bodv found an indictment against Wheeler for rape. WnEELKR's FLIGHT. During the time between the trials and the convening of the Grand Jury, Wheeler, who was then, as is now reported as being the possessor of property valued at -i35,000, and perhaps more, converted his property wnicn was men moswy in real estate) into cash and Government bonds, and, it is said, was a wanderer in the Dominion of the Queen, taking up his resi dence in .Montreal, tunaaa. Aooat a year ago he returned to the States . and purchased a farm in Jennings County near North ernon. this btate. After the trials above mentioned.the mother took the daughter to her home in Lafayette, where she now is an object of pity and almost ready to be conveyed beyond the dark river. It appears from the mother's statement that Wheeler, not being satisfied with having been the author of he ruin of one member of the family, sought to ruin the only remaining daughter Maggie. THE YOUNGER DAUGHTER, Maggie, was by her mother made an inmate of the Reformatory Institution last November, not because she had been guilty of any crime, but was made an inmate there to re ceive the moral instruction that is taught there. It may be well to remark that Mrs. CJlandon's purse is saint, and there was method in her wanting herdaughter to have a home at the Reformatory. THE ARREST. Since the finding of the indictment for rape Wheeler has avoided the Kentucky authorities, but has kept an eye on the Glan- - don family. A few days ago the daughter Maggie wrote a letter to her mother that her uncle was coming to the Reformatory to get her out. Mrs. Glandon could not think what uncle it was, but supposing that it 'might be the work of some one who was plotting the ruin of the girl, Mrs Glandon came' to this city to see who it was that was that was so deeply interested in her daughter. . Upon her arrival here she took a street car to go to the Reformatory. As she was Bearing the end of the line she discovered the uncle. Wheeler, and her daughter in a car parsing in the opposite direction.; She got off of the car she was on and attempted to run and catch up with the car. This she could not do; so she hailed a delivery wagon, and had the driver urge the horse to ita full speed until the car was overtaken. When she had overtaken the car she had the driver stop it, and she entered the car, where she found the parties. Mrs. Glandon had a gentleman who was in the , car to attract the attention of Officer Lowe, who was soon discovered, and had him enter the car, and, at the request of Mr?. Glandon, Wheeler was placed under arrest. She was unable to assign the reason why she desired the arrest until she reached the Centrat Station, when the matter, as stated above, waa related to Chief Williamson, who immediately telegraphed to Covington, that Wheeler had been arrested. The authorities at Covington telegraphed and told him that they would come on the first train for him. Wheeler acknowledges the charge and is willing to return to Covington without a requisition trom the Governor. "Wheeler secured the release of the girl from the Reformatory upon his own affidavit, alleging that the girl was over eighteen yean old, and that he, as her uncle, ssked her release. She is not, according to the mother's
statement, bot . seventeen years of age.

'Wheeler will be "returned to Covington to-day. LEGISLATIVE (iOSSIT. Senator Comstock want Grand Juries to have a Clerk. The House will take up the Criminal Code thi week as reported by the Revision Committee. J The Senate has said that County Commis sioners must give bond hereafter in the sum Of $5,000. Representative Berryman. who has been con hiked to his home in Shelbyville. is still absent, but recovering slowly. Mr. Berryman is said to be improving from his illness, which, on Monday, it was thought he would not recover. The Committee that investigated the Deaf and Dnmb Asylum have not yet reported its opinion to the House. Senator Kahlo has renewed assurances from Washington that he will receive the appointment as Consul at Berlin. Senator Yancy wants the Constitution amended giving women the same privilege as men to practice law ana me elective iranchise. The Judiciary Comraitte of the Senate retorted that the claim of John Morton, of over $G7.000 for brick work on the Insane Asylum, be compromised for 05,000. There .seems to he a irrowine disposition in the Senate to defeat the medical bill that has passed the House. It is claimed that the Senate will lavor tne l ancey diu or no bill at all. Senator Shaffer introduced a Senate joint resolution to so amend the Constitution of theState prohibiting thesale of liquor ol any kind except for medicinal and mechanical purposes. The compromise medical bill introduced by Senator Yancey, in the Senate, passed the House with a few amendments. J tie benate will have to concur before it becomes a law, providing then that it is not vetoed. Dr. Kdwins made a very good move yesterday, which was to have the whole House concur in the Senate amendments to the school bill by sections Instead of concurring in the whole amendments at once, thereby voting blindly. He stated that, as a rule, Committees were not so good judges of what the people desired and needed as the whole House. Senate bill 24, introduced by Senator Wilson, creating a Fish Commissioner, and appropriating $2.001 for the use of said Commissioner in the propagation of tish, was taken up, on motion of Mr. Kenner, and ably presented by him. He showed the great benefits that would result to the State. The bill passed, and will become a law as soon as signed by the Governor. Indiana now takes her stand among the large majority of the States of the Union, and is a grand step in the right direction, and all credit is due to Senator Wilson and Mr. Kenner for their efforts in this behalf. The bill empowers the Commissioners to experiment and cause fish to be hatched to restock the various waters of the State, and has general mpervision of fishing interests in the State, and reiort to the General Assembly. The Senate Committee on Prisons, consisting of Senators Hutchinson, Benz.Spann. Kuiuiy, Ristine, Yancey and Henry, visited the Prison South on Saturday. The Committee made a full and complete examination of the Institution of its arrangements and the condition of the building. The Committee returned well pleased with the condition of affair?. They fully comprehend that the buildings are not in as good a condition as they hhouldbe. It is the opinion of the Committee that nn appropriation should be made to make the buildings more complete and place them in a better condition. The management of the Prison under fhe administration of Colonel Howard the Committee believe to be as good as it is possible to make it when the incompleteness of the building is taken into' consideration. They heard but few complaints from the convicts. The convicts were found to be in a healthy and stout condition. Some complaint was made by the. prisoners, based um the fact that they have been deprived of the use of chewing tobacco. The financial condition of the Institution was also found to he in the best condition and managed in an economical way. The books were found to be in an excellent condition, and, in fact, models of com pleteness. Yesterday afternoon, before the afternoon session of the House, a number of the friends of the Speaker, all members of the House, consisting of Messrs. Ityan. Davis, Frazer, Schweitzer, and others, met in the Hall ot the House of Representatives and presented the Hon. Speaker with u very neat and tasty revolving office chair, to be used as a Speaker's chair the remainder of the session. The chair was presented to the Speaker by Dr. S. W. Edwins, of Madison County, in the following speech: Mr. Speaker It is indeed a very pleasant duty that now devolves upou me, by the request of a number of your friends. It Li always a pleasant duty, and, indeed, should be considered so by any gentleman, to be made the agent or medium of conferring a mark of respect and esteem on any one receiving the same. And the more so, Mr. Speaker, when it is so well deserved as it is in the present instance. This present of this beautiful chair, Mr. Speaker, is made ou behalf of Home of your friends, regardless of party, as a testimonial of their sincere esteem for the able and impartial manner in which you have presided over this legislative body. I myself, Mr. Speaker, ran with great satisfaction bear testimony to your uniform courtesy and kindness to the least a well as the greatest ou the floor of this House. I now, Mr. Speaker, present you with this chair. Use it during the remainder of the session, then take it to your home, keep it as a memento in your family, and when you are done with it hand it down as an heirloom to your posterity, thereby forever reminding them of the high honor conferred on you and the honorable position you have once filled amongst "honorable ' men. Coal Mine Inspector. The appointmentof a Coal Mine Inspector which has been looked to with much interest by those interested in the mining business, was appointed by Governor Torter late yesterday afternoon. The gentleman, selected from a large number of applicant?, was Thomas Wilson, Jr.. of Washington, Daviess County. Mr. Wil.on was appointed to the office by Governor Williams but declined to accept, but when tendered by Governor Porter, accepted the position. Mr Wilson is said te thoroughly understand mining in all of its branches, and was highly recommended by a large number of gentlemen of both political parties. - Judare of the Thirteenth District. Governor Porter yesterday appointed Silas D. Coffey, of Brazil, Clay County, Judge of the Thirteenth Judicial District, vice Judge ßolon Tu r man, deceased. Mr. Coffey is politically a Kepublican, and is said tobe an able lawyer. He was a member of the Thirteenth Indiana Regiment daring the late 'War. It is said that during the entire campaign he carried a lawbook around with him, and when mustered out of service the book was almost worn out from steady use. The Bureau of Statistics has sent the second annual report of the said Bureau to the several County Auditors, to be distributed as .follows: One each to the Auditor, Treasurer, Clerk, Recorder, Sheriff. County buperinteadent. Surveyor, County Attorney,
each County Commissioner, each Township Assessor, each Township Library; one to each school or College, or other Public Library, and one to each newspaper. , YETERINABT.

Coffey, Esq., of Brazil, Clay County, Indiana. The Republicans of Putnam are once again united and harruonious. But not no if the appointment had fallen on this County. We have too many smart men and natural-born leaders in the party in this County, and to prefer ope is to insult the others. It has been charged that in the contest for the office of Judge there has Wen some little skullduggery, double-dealing and chicanery (no. I will not use those terms, but call it diplomacy) resorted to in order to carry out the designs of some of those most active in the matter. In order to defeat Mr. Daggy it was told the Governor that Mr. D. had not given the Lieutenant Governor his influence and sup port in the last caucus. V ell, if he did not, it is no more than many others did, and they are none the less good Republicans. Another rumor on the street is that Mr. G. C. Moore, another candidate from this place, had a letter from Mr. G. J. Itngsdale to the Governor, and afterward Mr. Langsdale sent word to Brazil for them to get up a petition and come on with their man, and went to work for the man from Clay County. His plan was to get the people of Putnam divided on the question by bringing as many candidates out as he could, and .hen it would be an easy matter for him to run in his man from Clay. It was also urged that the appointment of Mr. Daggy would divide the party in this County. As to that we do not pretend to say. but do know that a decided majority of the eople of Putnam were fur him. It was also charged that Mr. Coffey gave General Hancock his support during the last campaign, for the reason that while in the Army the General was his commander; but that makes him none the less a Republican. We can stand Judge Coffey until the next election, and then the people will take the matter out of the hands of Governor Porter and select such a man as they want. Pitxam. Peter Cooper n Health. Food and Health. On a pretty cold afternoon in February, I rang at Mr. Peter Cooper's door, and having entered the house, was shown into his study on the ground floor. Evidently I had disturbed a light slumber, and though &orry for personally, I ierceived no shade of annoyance on Mr. Cooper's countenance. Politely as ever he received his visitor. As we sat on opposite sides of the table, I codld not help noticing this venerable man's hale and cheerful countenance. Not a trace of langur about it, neither want of cheerfulness nor want of health could be found. "I am pleased with your pater," began Mr. Cooper; "soinething is needed to call the attention of the public to the importance of your questions. People think they can live anywhere, but if they mean to be happy and live long, they had better ay attention to their way of living. Now. I drink milk in the morning and at night, and have milk by my bed through the night I remetub r well the story of the old Scotch doctor, who told Lb Irish parents 'that man mau'n be twoice a child and mau'n ha' twoice a child's food.' It suits naj well this child's food, and I am sure I owe my excellent health to it, I rise in good time and go out whenever I can. I take a light lunch, and my dinner at 7 o'clock. It is not so much meat I eat, as other healthy food. Without pretending to do anything like a dietetic method, I am moderatr and careful. I never feel indigestion after any meals. It is a terrible thing to see how this disease is spreading. Whatever the cause, the digestive organs of the American people are in a sad condition." "Hard work" I replied, "constant application, fast eating, insufficient rest, hot bread, and too much meat have something to do with it, I think." "Yes, I believe many people don't live right," said the old gentleman, "and won't I ok into it. You rouse us up a bit. it will do good: and be sure to let the Institute have the paper; it will teach some one or other there. "I feel," I answered, "that here in America good healthy and palatable food is a great necesity. The climate and the anxious life are great exhausters of vitality, which must be replaced. .Your strength is something very remarkable, and shows me that lam right in thinking we ought to be able to preserve kealth and strength to the last" "I hope so," said Mr. Cooper. "I also believe that a man who has lived rightly will keen up his powers to the last." "Do you take any stimulant, Mr. Coiper?"' "No, I do not generally; but it is kept in the house in case it is needed. People should be able to restrain themselves. I fancy, however, since lager-beer has been introduced we have less drunkenness." "Rest assured, sir," said I "that bad cooking and insufficient food have more to do with intemperance than anything else. The system becomes exhausted, and as no palatable food is near, people fly to something which will cheer them up at once." "Well, I am sure, too," said Mr. Cooper "that bad cooking deserves all that has been said of it. and I am glad to see efforts to improve it. It was different in my young days, when gardens reached up to Chambers street. There was better air in New York then, and people lived healthier, satisfied with far less. ' There is much misery In the world, and I know it, for I receive about fifty letters a day about it." The "Majah." Portsmouth (Va.) Enterprise. Yesterday we saw a well-dressed white man, with kid gloves on, riding in a twohorse carriage, who applied to and obtained from a negro Overseer of the Poor of one of the Districts of .Norfolk County admission into the County Alm3 House as a pauper. He had with him a nice-looking trunk with his name painted on it, prefixed with the honorable title of Major. The subjoined opinion, we perceive, is bv J. A. Daniels, Esq., of Messrs. Stogdill i.

A STRANGE ST0RT.
General Grant Relates nn Ineldesit f LTis Army Life In Mexico. Islington (Ky.) Tranacrfpt.7 A gentleman from this County rrrently met General Grant, when, a conversation natnrally enoel about Kentucky politics. Grant asked tbe Kentuckian how thr race for Senator was going in the Ashland District, aal added that he wa for General Cerro Gordo Williapws, because they had t-en old ebums in the Mexican War. Grant then told Lis story as illustrative of the iutimarv betwevts him and Geweral Williams: Jle said that when he ana Williams were in ilex ico they were on on occasion, after the surrendrrof tbe city, on a frolic, and that Williams had n fine, thoroughbred Kentucky mare an he (Grant) a Indian pony, which they were running at fall speed down the streets of the city; that 'Vfiliiams naturally outran Iiis and that in running down the street he net a Mexican who had a pole acntas his slxAilder with a jug hung on each ead of itr irt the common style of carrying uater in that country; that Wilhams ran against the jug and knocked the man dowr with great violence. Grant said he lookeil back and noticed that a crowd gathered around the fallen man, and rode back to-see what was the matte-, when he found that the wan was dead. Grant adds that he never told Williams anything about it, because he knew that would make him feel uncomfortable, and he believed he did not intend to- kiH him, but we suppose he would admit that General Williams took the chances on doing so that he might have a little innocent fun. This story was told us by a devoted admirerof General Grant as an instance of Grant's indisposition to make a man feel uncomfortable unnecessarily. . Governor Wallace, of New Mexico. Special Correspondence of Chicago Times. Santa Fx, N. Mex., March 11. "That," said mine host ol the adobe hostlery in which I sampled a stinted allowance of provender at the rate ol $A a day; "that, sir," Painting across the plaza, "is the Governor's alace. It was built centuriesjago when the Mont " The story had become too old; so, taking an abrupt departure, I availed myself of the opportunity to satisfy a plebeian curiosity, and at the same time put the occupant of tbe "Palace" through the ordeal of an interview. Stepping across the plaza and into the adobe building by courtesy named a place, there I found Governor Lew Wallace absorbing wisdom from a copy of the Chicago Times two weeks old. The Governor is a genial, courteous gentleman, bearing traces of the military camp about his "make-up." If there is a weakness anywhere in his composition it is to be found in the simplicity and faith with which he advocates the "great resources'' of the Territory over which he presides. "Yes, my friend," said the Governor, referring to this subject, "I have faith in this Territory taking rank with the leading States of the Vnion at an early date. Its climate and resources warrant me in this belief, and I have no fears for its future." "What do you claim, Governor, as its leading resources?" "Its chief interests are grazing and mining. The discoveries already made are such as to convince me that the Territory is BICH IK GOLn, silver, lead, copper and zinc. Thus far, however, the two latter have received no attention from the capitalists o; miner. Agriculture has not yet emerged from its primitive condition, the wooden plow of the Mexican fathers still holding preference with the farmers, and hence the development in this particular direction is barely sufficient to warrant anticipation as to what the future production will be. With rains here as in the Mississippi Valley the results of intelligent labor in propagating corn, wheat, oats, barley and vegetables would be astonishing. These articles are now only raised for home consumption. As you can readily understand, no one thinks of land for cultivation except it be irrigable. To fmt it briefly, there are three interests n New Mexico worthy of consideration. These are the mineral, the pastoral or grazing, and the agricultural. The low lands along the shores of the Rio Grande River, running north and south for a distance of about 400 miles, have an average width of five miles, and the soil here is rich and warm. Very little less than onetenth of this soil is occupied, a large iortion of it being carried by grants claimed or confirmed. This section is rich in grape culture, and with skilled labor and capital to enable manufacturers to carry their wine a sufficient time, not even California could surpass this valley in its production of wines." "You claim a population for the Territory of how many?'' "The last census, compiled about six months ago, shows the population, I think, at about 125,000. I am confident in saying that within the next six months from 50.000 to G0.000 will be added to this number. Colorado is justnow furnishing us more people than any other State or Territory in the country." "What estimates of nationality do you place upon this population?" "I figure it out at about three Mexicans to one American. There are from 12,000 to 15,000 Indians, of whom about 10,000 are Pueblos, the rest to be divided among the Utes, Apaches and Navajo. I may mention in this connection that it is almost impossible to give the number of people residentin the Territory, from the fact that in many parts the canvassers were looked upon as conspirators against the natives both Indians and Mexicans and hence were not given the information sought for. The construction of the several lines of railroad is rapidly adding to our population, and I have no doubt that by the tune fie present Administration is ready to go out of power this Territory will be a State." "Your Territory claims unusual advantages for sheep and cattle grazing, yet the pioducts in this line do not bear out these claims?" "Very true; but that New Mexico has not had her pror place in these markets of the country is due to certain causes shortly to disaptear forever. These causes may be stated as difficulties with the Indians and the inferior quality of the stock, but little if any attention having been given by grazers to the animals they raised. I may projerly add that original shipments of meat and wool from this Territory have been credited to other parts." Governor Wallace spoke with enthusiasm in reference to THE MIS ERALS OP !TKW MEXICO. 'I may repeat the opinion," said the Governor, "that this Territory will equal, if not surpass her neighbors in her yield of various precious metals within her mountains and ranges. The work of prospecting and mining has already fairly set in, and soon we may look for results. Heretofore a variety of causes have contribuied to prevent thorough work in this direction. As can be readily understood, the native Indians and Mexicans have no interest in the mining work. The Indians make it a capital offense for one of their number to aid a prosjwetor in the discovery of a mine, while the native Mexican could not be iuduced by any money to join a white man in the work. It is nonsense for anyone to attempt the argument that this Territory is not rich in precious metal. We find productive districts in Arizona. Colorado and old Mexico, south, west and north of us, with geological formations here identically the same, and as tbe prospector has come to stay with us he will tuake the best ossible use of his time and develop the country. Neither hostile Indians, land grants nor wild animals will intimidate the prospector or capitalist from taking the gold out of these mountains. First cornea the era of prospecting, which is already fa advanced, and next the era of production, which we have fairly entered upon, and to be developed for all it is worth. Then, too, we have coal in abundance, bituminous ana anthracite. Next may be mentioned the article of gypsum, which is so common as to be hardly a merchantable commodity. Ia

"Just now," he continued, "every one i. too bnsily engaged in the work of develoiing the minerals to- give tbe question of farming or grazing much attention. These resources will, Imwever, be fully developed in good time, and I am con Ed en t will prove fairly productive.'' During a cursory conversation, Governor Wallace drew attention to the fact that the Territory mm enjoys the privileges of over 14G school. for the- support of which the poll-tax and a quarter of all the other taxes, A Vpl I M.l n rrni aurtdna 5. ll. äT..
