. Kemdallville Correspondence. h KENDALLVILLE, IND., May 21, Mgz Eprror:—D. 8. Welch died on Thursday morning, May 16, in the fortyfourth year of his age. Mr. Welch has been a citizen of Kendallville for some nineteen years. He. first came here as a clerk in the employ of Daniels and others, in a dry goods store. Not lung after this he engaged in business as one of the firm of. “Northam, Welch & Co.,”—the “Co.” being Dr. Barber, of Wolcottville. He soon bought out his partners and continued in business alone until sometime during the late war, when he formed a partnership with a Mr. Greenfield. Exciting times came on and they lost—lost everything—and others lost by them. Since his failure in business he has been traveling for Deland & Co., and was in their employ when taken sick. Almost the only conscious words uttered by him during his sickness were “How do you’ do, Uncle Bep ?” The remark was quite suggestive, as Uncle Ben. Jones was a heavy loscr by his failure in business, He 'was & prominent member of the Baptist church, and, up to the time of his financial troubles, was very liberal in giving for the support of the gospel. Mr, Welch was a good man. |

A post mortem examination, conducted by Drs. Erickson and Gilbert, was made upon the body on Thursday afternoon. By invitation, Doctors Williams & Son, Parker, Teal, and Abell were present. Previous to the examination there had been a report that Mr. Welch had died of bilious fever. The friends of the deceased requested that the body should not be mutilated or disfigured, and it was agreed by the pbysicians present that if a sufficient cause was ‘found in the brain and its membranes to produce death, and establisb the fact of inflammation of these parts, then the examination should go no further; which condition was found, and

| so expressed by all present, I am told. The Masons of this place took special [ care of Mr. Welch during his sickness, | and the funeral services were conducted | according to the rites and customs of that | order. ' Their procession made a fine ap- | pearante while marching to the cemetery. The funeral discourse was 'preached by the Rev. Mr. Wilson, at the Presbyterian church. - At. times during the discourse the speaker’s remarks were very touching and brcught tears to the eyes of nearly every one in the congregation. The Railroad Companies here have united and will build a track uniting the two roads so that cars can be transferred from one road to the other. Thisisa “nccessary improvement. : = . John Mitchell and Jas. Colgrove went :to Chicago last week to look after our in‘terests in the Canada Southern Railroad, :and also to see if we are not on the line ‘of the New York & Chicsgo-Air Line. f‘Tbey report everything favorable so far if we do our part. o i ‘ ~ Sweet potato plants are in great demand here. - :

Stanley, our present representative in the State legislature, was in our place on Saturday looking well and hearty. He is for Greeley and Brown. e A man and wife living in our town resolved to dissolve partnership a few days ago. ' He gave her one third of all the property. Her goods were delivered at the depot not long since and she, and the. goods, are gone, BShe painted her face and wore a Dolly Varden. SBhe will be greatly missed upon our streets for she was highly ornamental. The rain on Saturday last was of incalculable value to the coming crops. | One man suggested Col. Williams, of Albion, as a Greeley candidate for Congress in the Tenth District. You need not be surprised if some of Myers’ correspondents ask the privilege of publishing their scratched grticles in the BANNER soon.

Dan. W. Voorhees’ speech in Congress pleases the Republicans here %veryi much. Democrats denounce it—it is “too thin.” - Mr. Welch had & $3,100 pelicy on his life. ; VoL s o Potato bvgs bave made their appearance here in large numbers. = ' | The Good Templars of this place have disbanded and surrendered their charter. The Free Religionists of this place kave rented and fixed up a hall in the Mitchell block, where they bold regular Sunday gatherings. 7 b It is thought by some that the large amount of quinine taken by Mr. Welch just prior to his last sickness had congid‘erable to do in producing inflammation of his brain. HORAGE.

NEw YOrRK & CHICAGO AIR LINE.—A | meeting was held at the Court House in Gosken on the 13th, inst., at which Mr. Hall, after giving an account of the organ--Ization, objects and prospects of the New York & Chicago Air Line Railroad Com. pany, submitted a proposition to construct said road through Elkbart county, making Goshen a point, provided a subscription of $150,000 to the capital stock cf the company could be obtained in the county. ' The meeting resolved to accept the proposition, and appointed a commit-| tee to .secure the subscriptions. The Goshen Democrat says: “No donations are asked. The money subscribed will be: as stock, and if properly and prudently managed, it will be a paying investment. The road is to be one hundred miles shorter than even the Pennsylvania Central, and that road is eighty miles shorter than the Lake Shore, so that the road will be a success from the very start.”

" INQUIRER.—We are of the opinion that you have not long been a resident of this county, else you would not be curious to know why Wm. Groh is the most popular groceryman in the county. The reason is that he acts toward every one as if that was the only customer be had, and with the most accommodating disposition-en-deavors to supply every want, and at prices to suit the purses of customers. *

MEcrANIC.—~Yot complain that your grocery bill each week 18 too large, and ask how to reduce it. We advise you to patronize Geo. C. Glatte’s Pioneer Grocery, Kendallville. He keeps a fall line ot fresh groceries and has excellent facilities for getting country produce. He sells at the lowest prices and is determin: ed by fair desling to command a full shiare of trade.

~ Itisa pleasing sight to see two" young men Kol togebor by the sron tesof legitimate friendship, but s still more ‘pleasant sight to see two manly (?) promising (?) youths bound wrist and wrist with legal bracelets. Such a sight asthe last ‘mertioned “landscape” affords was witnessed upon our streets on last Saturday morning as Mr. Jesse C. Hoover marched up town in charge of John Reynolds and Charles St. Clair, the thieves who forgot to return the livery team by them Fhired of Wolf Bros., a short time ago. In an incredible short space of time the news spread that “Jesse had brought 'em,” and hundreds flocked to the Helmer House Lo welcome and interview the distinguished guests. . Being fatigued with their long journey they begged to be excused for the present, promising, however, to hold a public reception at Squire Green’s office at 2 o'clo¢k P, M., where they would be pleased to see all their own as well as Me: Dougal’s friends. ; '

; THE RECEPTION. . Promptly at 2 o'clock our guests, acpompanied by their ‘.'&Qﬁrpreter." Jesse, .and followed by an immense crowd, pro--ceeded to Squire Green's office, where the ovation wastobe held. - b . Mr. Knisely proceeded without delay 'to read a short, spicy address of welcome, .closing his peroration with the significant f question: “Guilty or not guilty, gentlement” . e

Mr. Reynolds—“lf the court please, we are unaccustomed to receive such hearty, ‘genuine tokens of friendship, and hence beg that you will excuse our embarrassment, and inform us of the local customs of your town under similar circumstances, ‘and of our rightsf 4 e Enthusiastic Auditor—“ Our custom is to put a tree on one end of a rope and a horse thief -on the other end, a la McDougal.” g : The Court—*“You can plead guilty or not guilty, as you prefer; if the former, you will be bound over to the Circuit Court to await the action of the grand jury, if the latter, we will proceed to the consideration of Mr. Knisely's address of welcome, crif you.choose to waive an examination, we will at once place your credentials, as well as your bodies, in charge of Constable Hathaway, who will furnish you with free transportation to the ‘ Home of the Friendless’ at Albion. What say you ?” - Mr. Reynolds—“We don’t think it necessary to go into ‘an examination, as we do not deny that we got the team of Mr. Wolf;; but we didn’t mean o steal it outright, as we were on a spree, and went from one place to another, forgetting, until it was tgf late, to turn back; that the horses were .found in our possession, and now all we ask is safe lodging. We waive an examination.”

The Court—Your bonds are fixea at $l,OOO each. Procure your bail.” ‘Mr. Reynolds—“Can' we be bailed at Albion ss well as here?” = o The Court—*Certainly.” ; Reynolds and Bt. Clain—(ln chorus.) “Then on to Albion, and the sooner the better.” . Mr. Reynolds—*“l have written -to my father that I'm in a ‘regular fix,’ and expect him to bail me.” . Lo Mr, Bt. Clair—(proudly).— “I've no one to fall'back on.” R

The defendants failing to give security as requested by the Justice, a mittimus was at once placed in the hands of Constable Hathaway, who forthwith, accompanied byMeaags. Hoover and Wolf, con veyed the criminals to Albion.

, THE POPULAR FEELING Against the culprits was of a marked character, frequent references being made to the radical cure of horse-thieving effected by the application.of “three-quarter hemp,” and that our guests were fit and proper subjects to whom to apply the McDougal precedent. Wiser counsels, however, prevailed, and the law allowed to take its course. The thieves had learned of McDougal's fate and feared a similar one, and hence were very anxious to get behind the strong doors and iron bars of our county jail. We may, however,, be permitted to say in this connection, that if full and ample justice is not meted out by our Circuit Court to these thieves, the next horsethief caught orbrought within this section of Noble county will ghare the swift fate of McDougal.

\\IHE FLIGHT, PURSUIT AND ARREST, In our last issue we gave the particulars of the disappearance of the thieves and of the starting in pursuit of Messrs. Jesse C. Hoover and Henry Wolf. We have, since the return of said parties, learned the following additional facts: They were traced first to Fort Wayne, thence to Defiance, 0., where all trace was lost, and further pursuit promised to prove fruitless. Neryed with desperation, and sanguine of ultimate success, Hoover and Wolfstruck out in the direction of Marion, O, and before’ proceeding very far found that they were again on the trail. Having at Deflance procured a livery team, which the proprietor informed them was good for twenty-four hours “on a ’keen jump,” they pyt them through and soon found themselves on warm tracks. When sbout twenty miles from . Marion they found the stolen ?&; which had ‘been traded for an old buggyand a silver ‘watch, and a few miles further on learned that the old buggy, having broken down, was traded for a saddle, and that the thieves had gone on horseback. =

| " AT MARION, : 1 When the thieves arrived within & few thiles of Marion they separated, coming into that town . in opposite directions. One put up his horse at a livery stable, the other at & hotel stable. Both the -men, however, took lodgings at the same ‘hotel, conducting themselves toward each other as perfect strangérs;-and refused at first to be put iu the same room, but final1y consexted. The landlord’s suspicion was aroused ; he thought he “smelt a large Norway rat,” and after his strange guests had retired, in his stocking feet be crept to the door of their room, snd overheard but not enough to warrant an arrest. The livery stable keeper’s suspicions had also who put up -his borse with him wanted to sell out st once—first for $9O, snd this down o § w“"wﬁ;, J and sluo the farshal of the place, who

thieves were well watched. L‘l - In the morning, just as the thieves ‘were about to proceed on their JOWDG!;*'%J their horses being already out,—Hoover and Wolf dashed into town, their gallant sorrels all covered with foam. The landlord instinctively asked: “Ain’t you af- | ter stolen horses?” Being answered in’ | the affirmative, he responded, “There are |the thieves;” but the thieves had already 1 recognized Mr. Wolf, and at.once |

oLToDK YERQ EARLT. . In opposite directions,. The Marshal of Marion, the landlord, Wolf, Hoover, and several others started in pursuit. Rey'nolds was captured in a barn on the out: skirts of the town, but St, Clair ran like 8 “buffalo in fly time” for three miles before he was overtaken. - 4 . They were taken before a magistrate in Marion, examined, and held to await a requisition from the Govérnor of this }Shte. o 'On Monday, the 13th inst., the proper steps were taken before Bquire Green, on !Tuw!ay the papers were forwarded to Governor Baker, and on Friday, at 11 o'clock A. M., Hoover rezeived the neces sary documents, and started for this place, reaching Ligonier at 11 A.»r, Saturday, as already stated, with the “boys.”

l** HAD HEARD OF M'DOUGAL. : " Reynolds and St. Clair (both of which i namies are doubtless assumed) had, it ' seems heard of Ligonier asa “tough place” on horse thieves, and were in mortal fear of being brought here for trial, preferring to be tried anywhere else. | The following letter, written by them ’to the Governor of Ohio, will explain litsglf. It was handed to Jesse Hoover to be mailed, but ifasmuch as it had no ! stamp on it Jesse forgot to put it in the [ post-office. 'We trust Messrs. Reynolds and St. Clair will pardon; us for publishing, verbatim, their private correspondence | with so distinguished a personage as the | Governor of Ohio; but here is the letter:

MaßrioN, Omro, May, Friday 17th, 1872. § GOVERNOR’SIR :—1 have the honor of making this my writen statement in regards to my arrest on the charge of stealing .a horse from the State of Indiana. The State authority, of Marion, Co., Mari--on, Ohio, arrested us and commited us to jail to await a Requisicion from you the ‘Governor of the State.of Ohio. . During our confinement in jail the procecutors and others from the said party from Indiana visitid us in jail and made most vehemented threats of hanging us. Governor we don’t deny our chargé'but in the sight of God and man, all we ask is justice. GovernorgSir, We were arrested on the 13th of May, 1872. Governor Sir they have made sutch threats that I would not like to go back to Indiana for trial and if it suits your honor to hold an investigation on the case and if it is posible to get a trial in the State of Ohio. We would be your Most Obidient Servants, o - - '‘CHARLES ST. CLAIR, ' : JoEN REYNOLDS.

PERSONEL OF THE ACCYSED. Reynolds and St. Clair are both youn§ men under thirty years cf age, prety we]l dressed, but with a bearing and expression of face and eye common to all well-bred or educated thieves. Any rogues gallery will furnish their exact counterpart. We bespeak for them a good berth at'Michigan City, and plenty of time to learn several good trades, and 'trusting that when at last they doff the ,s‘tripees,l they will be wise enough to give Ligonier a “wide berth” and no occasion to buy übemp.ﬂ ; 1 2 ¥ ‘

SMALL-Pox.—When we issued our last paper we hoped this week to be able to announce that this loathsome disease had entirely disappeared from the county ; but we learned on Tuesday, upon good authority, that two new cases have appeared in Auburn. While this is so, there is no cause for serious alarm, as the cages are said to be in the family of Mr. Lauferty, where the disease first appeared, and we presume gll precautions possible have been used to 'prevent its farther spread. The woman who contracted the disease at the house of Mr. Lauferty, died ;Brd was buried last week.— Waterioo €BB, * ;

YouNe GENTLEMAN.—It was not necessary for you to send in the note that all tlee elegant suits worn by the tashionable young men were bought at Engel & Co’s. Everybody -knew that such garments could come from no other place.: There’s ‘where we all go when we want anything in the line of ready-made clothing or gent’s furnishing goods. . YA

- ELIzA JANE.—So you“are to be married at last. Now we advise you tocall at J. Decker’s and get your queensware, glassware and such other articlss as you may need. If your intended desires to make you a wedding present, try and induce him to go there and get you a nice set of china. T _ S

HousexEePEß.—You will find much satisfaction in using the nice groceries sold by H. Wakeman, corner of Mgin and Mitchell streets, Kendallville. He has every variety, and will supply the trade with fresh country produce. A trial will convince you that we speak the truth. * —— TeE Red Horse Powder, sold by C.
