A BAD MAN KILLED,

A oouple of officers came here recently from Eton, Ohio, to arrest Harrison and Riley Stone, supposed to be in this vicinity. They were desperadoes of the most dangerous character, accused of burglary, theft, and attempts to kill. On Wednesday, the Eton officers, ac companied by Lieut. Dan Fasig, Deputy Sheriff Cleary and Constable Charles Flaid, found the two men cutting wood some three and a half miles west of the city.

Harrison Stone was first seen. He made a movement to strike Fasig with the ax, but dropped it, and started on a run. Fasig called on him to slop, and commenced firing his revolver to frighten him. On firing the fourth shot, Fasig stumbled and the bullet took effect in Harrison Stone's hip. Then he surrendered.

Riley Stone was found in a log oabin, and also tried to escape. Two shots from Constable Flaid's pistol took effect in the fugitive's arm and wrist, and he was caught.

Both men were brought to this city, and Riley Stone was taken to Ohio. Harrison Stone died at one o'clock the next day. The coroner held an inquest, in which officer Fasig was fully exhonerated, and then the body was given to the deceased's half-sister, Mrs. Reid, residing on Cherry street.

The Stone brothers lived in this city some Jen years ago, and worked upon the Normal school building. One day a scaffold broke with them, but by catching on the joists they were saved from a lofty fall.

AMUSEMENTS.

A more thoroughly enjoyable play has not been given in tbtaclty the past season than thatof "Joshua Whitcomb, on Monday evening last. It is a pure home-like play, with a simple story, but Denman Thompson makes it a glorious pastoral picture. It waa gratifying see the Opera House well filled. This waa an nnusaal thing for Terre Haute to do on the first appearance of a play or actor.

Romeo and Juliet will be reproduced by the Light Guards, on the evening of the 28rd of this month.

JOSEPH COOK.

Joseph Cook has been engaged to deliver a lecture in this city, Monday, May 10. It is safe to say that Mr. Cook is the most widely known lecturer speaking the English tongue to-day. His Boston Monday lectures are translated into no fewer than eight different languages, as soon as delivered, and are read all over Great Britain and Europe.

No philosophic analyses of scientific, theological, and popular subjects have ever before commanded such universal attention and approval. In the scientific and theological worlds, he is confessedly the greatest thinker and expositor of the present age while his treatment of popular subjects is no less thoughtful'and fellcitious.

Torre Haute will doubtless show her appreciation of this great American, by giving him a large audience.
