A Lively Shooting Scrap. Special to the Sentinel: Waleseoko, Ind., Oct. 9. There was a lively shooting scrape at this place last night between Fremont Stringer and Charles ' JIavron, in which several shots were fired. Stringer lives near a school house near here, and the scholars were engaged in a spelling match. "Whilst this was going on Havron and some of his cronies went to Stringer's l:onse and took his wagon and started off down the road with it. He came out and fired two or three shots at the crowd and wt-nt back. Havron and his party went back to the house swearing they would have his life for shooting at them. They laid in wait for him for some time, and when he put. his head out of the window Havron tired two or three shots through the jrrass within a few inches of his head. Stringer then drew his pistol and opened rire.which drove his assailants off. Havron left soon after the shooting and has not been seen since. Confessed. Special to the Sentinel: Seymour, Ind., Oct. 9. Dilly McDride and John Fay, the two men arrested yesterday for burglarizing the Postoffice and robbing Hon. A. F. Charles' residence, were taken ' before Justice Ii. F. Everhart last night for a preliminary hearing. McBride at once confessed Lis guilt, but Fay protested bis innocence until the trial was commenced, when be too made a clean breast and told just how the robberies were committed and where the Stolen goods were concealed, all of which were found except Mr. Charles jewelry, w hich they said they sold to a man at Cincinnati for ?60O. They were recognized to the Circuit Court in bonds of $1 000 each. PePauw University. Special to the Sentinel: Greescastle, Ind..

This is part of the erouna that was selected by Mr. Del'auw tome time ago. This one thing has given real estate quite a boom within the last twenty-four hours, and many persons are looking around for building sites, and some property has changed hands to-day.

Democracy Indorsed in the Back eye State. Ohio Kolls Ui a Larse and FlatterlDgr Mojority for Iloadly and Associates. Hamilton County Comos l Smiling With 1,000 in Favor of the Democratic Ticket. Iowa Slakes a Strenuous Effort to Pall Away 1'rom Radicalism, but "Without Sncces. The Returns HoXvever Are Meagar, and There's Hope Yet for the Unfortunate People. OHIO. The Democracy Sweep the Platter Clean Hamilton County Roll Up a Large Majority for Iloadly The Amendments. Colcmbis, 0 , Oct. 9 The election to-day was for State officers entire, with the exception of Secretary of State, also for members of the Legislature which will elect a United States Senator to succeed Pendleton. The election to-day was also for the adoption or rejection of three amendments to the Constitution as follows: The first proposed amendment is intended to reorganize tho judiciary of the State, the other two proposed amendments relate to the liquor traffic and are in the following language: L The additional section In and with Section is of the schedule shall le repealed and there shall be sutstiiuted for it the following: The General Assembly of trie State of Ohio Shall regulate the trallic iu Intoxicating liquor so as to provide asainst evils resulting therefrom, aad its power to levy taxes on assessments thereon is not limited by any provision ot this Constitdtion." The other proposed amendment is as follows: 2. "The additional ection. In and with Section IS of the schedule, shall be repealed, and there shall be substituted for it the following: The manufacture ot and the trafiic in intoxicating lienors to be used as a oeverae. and forever prohi: ited, and the General Assembly shall provide b: law for the enforcement of this provision." Amendments to the Constitution, to carry, must receive a majority of all the votes cast for Governor. The weather during the day was fine in all portions of the State, and the indications point to the largest vote ever polled in the State. Consequently the returns will be slow and very late. Comparisons are made with the vote for Secretary of State Newman in 1S32. The amendment, to carry, will have to receive a majority of all votes cast for Governor. Secretary Newman hail a majority of 10,115 last year. There are 1819 Wards and Trecincts in the State. At midnight the result on thetate ticket and Legislature is in great doubt. Chairman Barger, of the Democratic Committee, says he thinks their majority will be about 7,000 on the State ticket and that they will carry the Legislature The lierJublicati Committee expect to elect the Governor by a few hundred,but concedes that it depends on tho result of Cincinnati and Cleveland. Returns are so meagre that neither Committee is over confident. The impression prevails that the second amendment will carry. In case it does neither Committne seemingly carejlittle for the Legislature. Governor Foster concedes the situation depends upon Cincinnati and Cleveland and says calculations as to strong localities have "been reversed on both sides. Hamilton County. Cixcixati, Oct. 9. The connt is now in progress but will not be concluded till morning, and not enough returns are in to settle the result or indicate it with great accuracy. The Democratic Keform ticket fell tlat, in some of the Wards not a dozen of such having yet been found. At this hour it looks as if Judge Iloadly had carried Hamilton County by nearly 4.000 majority. Sherlock, who ran for Treasurer on the Democratic Keform ticket, has a good vote, but it comes so much from the Republicans as to leave that office as much in doubt as the others. In this County the second amendment gets a very light vote looks now as if "it will fall below 5,000, and the same report comes fron Cleveland. This will give a majority against the amendment in these two cities of over 80.000. In the smaller towns and country places the amendment had a strong support, and it now looks as if the total vote for it will be fully 200,000. The result in this County . can not be announced till the returns are complete, it depends entirely on the vota which the Democratic lieform ticket has received. Judge Hoadly and the Democratic State ticket las ft majority of over 4,000. These were voted on both Democratic tickets. If the number of votes cast for the Keform Democratic ticket shall exceed the majority of Judge Hoadly it will elect the Republican County ticket, but this appears to be 'exceedingly doubtful. An enormous vote was polled. Only five Precincts heard from at 10 p m. give a lit t Keputlicnn gain of Hoth parties claim, the County. The Reform Demtcratic vote was small, probably will not ex

ceed 1.500. The Republicans claim large gains in the German Wards and say that i'oraker will overcome Newman's majority of last year, which was 10.C8D. The Democrats are equally hopeful that they have carried the entire County and State ticket, Tne information is not yet at hand on which to base an intelligent opinion. 12:30 a. m. Seventeen Precincts of 103 in this County give a Republican gain cf 1.577. This is on Governor. No compilation is yet made of the County ticket or Legislature. This would give the County to Iloadly by a (mall majori tv, but with the votes cast for the Reform Democratic ticket it would leave the result as to the County and Legislature in doubt, with the chances In favor of the Republicans. No report of the actual ftrength of the Reform Democratic ticket has yet been made, while the second amendment gets a large vote. The majority against it will be sufficient probably to overcome the majority for it in other parts of the State lion. Edgar M. lohnson, Judge Hoadly's partner, claims the State for Hoadly by 10,tOO majority. He has private dispatches showing large Democratic gains iu Lucas and Montgomery Counties, and says the Democrats will also have the Legislature It is wholly impossible to obtain the result on the County ticket to-nin'ht in Hamilton Comity. Reports so far have been only of the head of the ticket. At 2:30 not half a dozen Precincts were heard from officially in full. At that hour twentythree Precincts showed a net Ilennblican gain for Foraker of 40U. At this rate Foraker would almost, if not quite, carry the County, and the Republican .County ' and Legislative ticket certainly be elected. There are great gains for the Republicans in nearly nil German Wards. The gain in one Ward amounts to over 000. The best calculators find themselves at sea by reason of the erratic results in different parts of the city aud btate. No estimate can be made of the various candidates for County office.?,' except on a basis of the estimated strength of the reform Democratic ticket. These voters all voted for Hoadly and the State ticket. Cleveland. Cleveland, Oct. 9. A heavy vote was tolled to-day. The Democrats claim 4,000 majority in the city. The Republicans concede 3.000. The second amendment workers tere very active. They had headquarters at every Ward except the third, and in most precincts the ladies peddled both tickets im partially to cet tickets for prohibition. Coffee

and cake was served impartially to whoever was thought to be favorable to the cause. Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, of Iowa, the reputed author of the prohibition enactment ot that State, was on the ground going from Ward to Ward in a carriage directing" the temperance forces Mottoes were profusely displayed, at the Second Amendment Headquarters like, "Petty and the Raby vs. Boodle and Beer; '. "Vote for the second amendment and down will go the saloons and taxes, and up will go the home and our boys." "Note for Sally and the Babies " The ladies wore badges with the State coat of arms and the inscrip tion: "second amendment for God, aud home, and native land..' When the polls closed to-night the Republicans gave up nearly every Ward, and the Democrats claimed everything in the city and Township, but as the evening progressed the Republicans grew more hopeful, and the Democrats began to be doubtful At 1 o'clock no Ward has been fully counted, and it is not likely the result in the city can be ascer tained definitely before morn inc. Rut enough is known to show that the Democrats lost and gained where least expected. Probably the Democrats elect most all of the County candidates, but part nf tho Logisla tive ticket is in döubt, and the Democrats concede a loss in the County of 1,200 over the fall vote. A jubilee meeting was held in the Tabernacle tonight bv the W C. T. U. Telegraphic returns from the btate were received at intervals, and each encouraging bulletin about the second amendment vote received with vociferous applause and waving of handkerchiefs. The ladies' eyes were opened to much of the arts and practices of Ward politicians to-day. and their recitals of eipenences are highly amusing. One good woman was inexpressibly shocked. She said: "It is perfectly wonder ful how dreadful and untruthful the gentle men are." As tar as learned, no indignities were oizered the ladies at the polls anywhere. but when the novelty of their presence wore off little attention was paid to them by the busy and frequently turbulent hustlers of both parties. Toledo. Davtox, O , Oct 9. 11 p. m. At this hour it is safe to say that the entire Democratic County ticket is elected. There are slight Republican gains all round and a heavy vote lor the second amendment. Owing to the great amount of scratching returns from the city and County, up to 1 a. m., are meaner, but show the Democrats will probably elect their County ticket by a fair majority. The Democrats here claim the State by 20,000 majority on Governor and nearly the same figures on the balance of the State ticket. Republicans very generally concede the loss of the State, but claim large gains in certain localities. The vote for the second amendment, although heavy, fell shcrt of the anticipations of its friends. Full returns will not be in before morning. Akron. Akbox. Oct 0. The Republican majority is 448, a Republican gain of 123. Kohler, Representative is undoubtedly elected. Springfield, Oct. 9.' Fourteen out of twenty-four Precincts in Clark County give a Republican majority of 703. At this rate the County will give i.GOO to 1,400 majority, a Republican gain of 500 or C00. Xenia gives a net Democratic gain in this County of twenty. The second amendment received 1,200 mujority. Norwalk, Huron County, gives a Republican gain of 150. The second amendment was carried by 1,200. The judicial amendment was carried by 3,000. Kenton Republicans elected the entire ticket. Dayton. Dayton, Oct. 10, 1 a. m. Returns from twelve voting Precincts in this city give a net Democratic gain of 95. No hope for any Republican candidate on the Countv ticket, aad only six more Precincts to hear from.

A Young Orphan Cibrl Drugged and Re peatedly Outraged by a Gang of Itrutal Ruffian. Milwaukee, Wis., Oct 3. Tne mystery surrounding the disappearance of a young orphan girl about a week ago has been solved to-d.iy, and the solution develops the facts in one of the most horrible outrages ever known in this part of the country. In passing the old stock yards, near the corner of Twelfth und Hill streets. Superintendent Whitehead, of the Ilumane Society, noticed two young men leave one of the ruined stables and, after glancing hastily around, start up the street. He went to the barn, and there found a young girl apparently seventeen or eighteen years old, lying 011 a pile of hay in a half nnconscious condition. He assisted her to his carriage and conveyed her to po lice headquarters. It was then ascertained that she was Mamie Trester, who has been mysteriously missing from her home on Poplar street since la&t V ednesday, and that she had been drugged by a party of roughs ana Drutauv maltreated. According to her own storysbe left homo in the afternoon, met a young man whom she knew, ana the two drank a glass ol wine at a restaurant. She then became unconscious, and when she came to her senses she was in a car near the lumber yards on the St. Taul track near Hill street. A dozen men were with her. She remembers being taken along the railroad track in the direction ot auwatosa, and as she partly regained con-' sciousnes3 a bottle of whisky was placed to lier lips und she was compelled to drink until her memory v as drowned. Again she revived, and found herself in a dark woods, a blazing fire lighting up the surroundings and revealing a party of seventeen roughlooking men as her captors. She Avas dused with liquor and a drug until her reason again departed. When she regained consciousness a third time she was lying as found by Superintendent Whitehead. Half famished, numb with cold, still partly under the influence of the drug and liquor, she was nnable to move and could scarcely articulate when discovered. The cirl's family were notified and she was taken to the home of her brother. She is iu a yery critical condition and suffers greatly from exposure, hunger and the treatment she received. The oificers are searching for the perpetrators of the outrage, with the chances in favor of the arrest of the entire party. They think circus followers took her to Wauwatosa. The other persons are reported to live on the West Side. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. Cole & Co.' Establishment, CSreenlaw's Opera House and Other Buildings Destroyed. Memthis, Oct. 8. Memphis was again visited to-night by another destructive Are, which originated in Cole & Co.'s oil, paint, door, sash and window blind store. The inflamable material kept in stock burned with such fierceness that thi fire'men were 'unable to confine the fire to the building where it originated, and Greenlaw's Opera House to the east and only separated from the burning building by a small alleyway was ignited and together with Cole .t Co.'s store completely destroyed At one time ail the stores on Union street, west of Wire, were threatened with destruction, together with the block fronting on Main street, south of Union, but the fire wall on the west cf Cole &. Co.'s store, which extended about ten feet above the next building, saved the others. As it was the fire consumed an area of about 150 feet fronting on Union street and 130 fronting on Second. It is impossible to ascertain the exact amount of losses or insurance to-night, but the following is a fair estimote: Cole & Co 's loss on stock, $50,000; insurance about $ 10,000 The building No. 90 Union street, owned jointly by the People's Insurance Company and the estate of J. O. Oreenlaw. valued at 12.000; insurance, $G00. The building No. 07, owned by Mrs. S. E. Greenlaw, same value, amount of insurance unknown. The Greenlaw Opera House was owned by (J. B. Peters and the Peoples' In surance Company. George B. Peters also owned the two stores in the north portion of the massive structure. The two south stores were owned by Campbell Wallace of Atlanta, Ga. The loss to the Opera House building is about $50,000; insurance not known, but is light.

A. W. Kellogg, a Massacht setts detective, who has been working up the case for a number ot months, had succeeded in tracking his man to Chicago, thence to Elgin, and from there to Aurora, as he thought, becanse of a trank which had been snipped to the latter piace. Kellogg and the city officers spent a couple of days searching for Shumway, but in vain, and, leaving full descriptions with the Alarsbai, Kellogg returned home. He describes the man as of good night. weighing about 190, and having a full gray beard.

Minneapolis, Minn , Oct 9. The fifth day of the Free Will Baptist General Conference thereKrtvf the Committee on Temperance was taken up. The report sets forth that as the manufacture . and sale of intoxicating liquors were increasing, it was the duty of tic Conference to further the interest of prohibition; that they heartily indorse the action taken by 1 'resident Hayes, and see with growing alarm the use of intoxicants by President Arthur; that the use of tobacco and opium in any form will b prohibited, and recommend that any minister who indulges in it be refused ordination; that physiological influences of intoxicants, tobacco and opium be taught in schools and Colleges.

A motion was made to strike out the name of President Arthur, but after much debate it was lost, and the report accepted. TbeCommitteeon Foreign Missions made a report touching on the w ork of missionaries, child management in India, and the treatment of widows and recommending that four women be elected to the Foreign Mission Board. The report was adopted. 1JUTLEK.

He Discourses on the Talbot Difficulty and 3Iassacliusctta Politics. New Yok'k, Oct 8 Governor Butler, of Massachusetts, was at the Fifth Avenue Hotel to-day. In conversation on the Talbot difficulty, he said: "The facts in the case are simply these: Fora long time I have been endeavoring to get hold of the books containing an account of the expenditures of the Board of Health, Lunacy and Charity. Yesterday L made a formal demand upon Mr. Talboffor the books, asking a yea and nay vote upon the demand, so that if it became necessary to apply for a writ of mandamus I could know upon whom to serve it. There was nothing dircourteous in the lan"liaiTP. and if the books have been honi . y kept there can be no insult in asking for .'.'em." "It is said these investigations are brought about merely for the purpose of making po litical capital, is it bo ." "If the accounts are Correct and have been honestly kept, what politics! advantage can accrue to me? The Republican administra tion ol atlairs having been shown to be trustworthy, instead of claiming to have been insulted, Mr. Talbot should deny the charge?. The refusal to surrender the books was by a strict party vote. The last examination of these accounts was made never. In lb79 an abortive examination was begun. I have also made a partial investigation, but as the books containing an itemized account of expenditures have been held from me, of course it was impossible to detect any irregularities. There is a great field for fraud in the handling of moneys in the Board of Health, lunaey and charity, and there is a corresponding difficulty in detecting peculation, if any exists. There is no public Auditor of these accounts, and whether the fcople's money has been honestly expe-ded have ho means of knowing. Bui I think I soon shall have. They can't keep the books from me much longer. With $100,000 a year passing through the office you can see what an opportunity for stealing is o He rod. Just wait till the books are examined." The conversation then drifted into political channels. Referring to the approaching campaign in Massachusetts, the Governor said: "Party lines will be badly broken in this fight. Many stanch Republicans will support my nomination, while many socalled Democrats will as bitterlv oppose me." "Do you attach any importance to the meeting of Independents yesterday, at which Colonel Theodore Lyman, Charles Francis Adams, Francis A. Walker, and others adopted resolutions opposing your election?" "Oh, they are a lot of Republican dudes, that is all. They are too nice for the party and have come out. Thy don't know what they want They indorse Mr Robinson, and decline to indorse the candidate for Lieutenant Governor, Mr. Ames." "Why do they not support Mr. Ames?" "Simply because he is not nice enough, and was not born in Beacon street Why, sir, his father actually made shovels. You can't expect such men to endorse so plebeau a candidate." "Georce D. Robinson, the Republican candidate, does not suffer from such a stigma, does he?" "Uh, Mr. Robinson is threat man. Why, he lias served in Congress six years." "How did he happen to be nominated?" "After every available man declined the position, a draft was ordered and llr Robinson was pressed into service; but 1 thought every bouy had heard of llobinson." WILL HE WITHDRAW? Boston, Oct 8 Information from inside Democratic sources is to the effect that it is not impossible, perhaps not improbable, that Governor Butler will avail himself of the hitherto not generally observed fact that in his i-pringtield speech he did not accept the nomination for reelection. It is hardly thought that the Governor will bring himself to the humiliation of declining to run, but his defeat is thus early in the campaign apparently ordained. The awakening of the Republican masses of the commonwealth ana of those who were independent and apathetic last year has not been equaled within the memory of the active men of today, and bets are offered already that Iiobin8011 will have a majority of 30.0J0 The campaign speakers are all devoting themselves to a discussion of the present year's work, passing over Butlers past record as well enough known, and the points which they are making nightly together with the Governor's almost daily dictatorial performances are haviDg an immense effect. The Governor is himself managing his own campaign. The Boston Post is now fighting him, making a sharp distinction between the party and its nominee. A MANIAC MOTHER, ' While Mentally Deranged, Kill Her Five S-uiall Children and Then Commits Suicide. Laeedo, Tex., Oct. 4. A gentleman just from Lampasas, Mexico, give3 the full particulars of a most horrible tragedy that occurred Wednesday near that place. Mrs. Yaldez killed her five children and then herself during a fit ot insanity. In one of the large ranches -about twenty miles to the southward of Lampasas there lived for four years pasta quiet, well-to-do Mexican named Antonio Valdez, whose family consisted of a wife and five children, the age of the eldest child being ten years, and of the youngest two years. The wife, who was about thirty years of age, had been subject to epileptic tits and spells of melancholy of long duration. During the last few months she has exhibited many evidences of insanity, nnd when in such mental aberration invariably sought to do violence to her little ones. Wednesday the woman was attacked with a fit of unusual severity. When she had recovered from her spasm her husband went out to herd a flock of sheep belonging to the ranch. He had been gone but a short time when his wife rose from her couch, and with a huge butcher-knife which had been carelessly left within her reach commenced her terrible work of destruction. Her eldest child, a sweet girl of ten, was the first to fall a victim to her maniac mother's cruel blows, her head being almost severed from her body. With that method peculiar to insane rersonsshe in quick succession slew the other children, hacking aud stabbing theut in a sickening manner. The frantic woman, after five bleeding little corpses lay at her feet, viewed them with grim satisfaction, rilling the air with wild and weird exclamations. Suddenly, taking a parting look at the dead before her, she plunged the knife into her own breast, reeled to a corner in the room, and fell dead. During all the time this fearful tragedy was being enacted, a serving woman, a peon, was powerless to prevent it from abject fear. The husband was soon apprised of what had happened, and bis lamentations were pitiable in the extreme and he could not be consoled.

In due time the neighbors came, and speedv Arrangements were made to bury the deaJ. Six gTaves were dug. and the next morning the funeral rites were performed. "BABY, ITS ALL. RIGHT."

Miss Hill, claiming to be the wife of Senalor Sharon, interviewed to-day, saye: "The reason the marriage was kept secret was Sharon's desire to be re-elected Senator from Nevada.

She says the marriage contract was signed in Sharon's office, over the Bank of California; that he afterward tried to recover it, but she always refused to give it up, and to insure its safety had it sewn up in a jacket which she always wore. Her reason for having the Scuator arrested, she states, was because she had learned he was going Fast to marry a young lady m New York and she determined to prevent it.

The Chicago Board of Health KfttahTishei Itself at the Stock Yards for Inspection Purposes. Chicac.o, Oct. 8. For some time prst the Times, through its columns, has been excsing the inefficieut inspection of cattle and hogs at the Stock Yards, and advocated that the inspection of stock of all kinds at the yards be placed under the codtrol of the City Health Department will full authority to condemn. Heretofore the Chicago Health Department has had an officer at the Stock Yards, but his authority was next to nothing. To-day, at a meeting of the Stock Yard Directors and ofilcers of the town of Lake, it was agreed that the Health Commissioner of Chicago should have absolute control of the Stock Yards for inspection purposes, with authority to condemn cattle, or other animals as he saw fit. The jurisdiction of the Health Commissioner also extended over all packing and slaughter houses situated in the town of Lake. Health officers were immediately stationed at each of the three gates of the Stock Yards and all cattle entering or passing were examined. The animals condemned during the day were placed in a separate pen, and on tho evening of each day will be slaughtered. Five animals were thus killed this evening, and the carcasses turned over to the Union ltendering Company at $5 each. The action of the Stock Yards Board was heartily appjoved by Stockmen. Health Commissioner DeWolf states that it is impossible to state the deleterious effect on the people ot Chicago, caused mainly by the nuinbrous cancerous beeves. The effect of eatinjr this beef, says De Wolf, is septic fever, being a degreeof blood poisoning very similar to fever from other causes. Hence, the inability of physicians to trace it to cancerous meat De Wolf has no doubt but that a number of deaths resulted from the consumption of this meat, sold without the knowledge of the Health authorities. A Hunter's Frightful Discovery. Sam Fbakcipco. Oct 5. A quail hunter this morning discovered in the woc&s near Sanrafel, an aristocratic suburb of the city, the skeleton of a well-dressed young man. The body was in a sitting position with one end of a piece of hay rope around the neck with the other end attached to the limbs of a tree. The peculiarity of the position and rope remaining unbroken precludes the theory of suicide or murder. The skeleton has apparently been there six or eight months, as the flesh was entirely gone from the bones. The body is about five feet eight inches tall. Judging from the hair the skeleton was that of a man about thirty years of age. There were no papers in thepockets of the clothes whereby the remains could be identified.
