NOTES iXD OBSERVATIONS ON MAT* TER8 AROUND TOWN.

The confession of the convict in the I /-Ohio penitentiary implicating himself in the Long Point murder has not devel--aped any further knowledge concerning I mh&t mysterious crime, and the belief ^hat was expressed at the time by persons in a position to be posted, that the fellow knew nothing about the matter has been verified. He evidently wanted a few days' respite from his confinement and thought that by means of this confessiou he would be able to secure this.

It is not the first time this thing has been attempted. Several years ago a convict •at Je/fersonville made a confession of his part in the affair, but after the thing had been sifted down he knew nothing of the matter, and only wanted to get out for a few days in order to see his wife, who could not go to him. Several gentleman were discussing this matter, and confossions generally one day this week, and some strange things were related which tend to create disbelief in confessions.

Said

one gentleman, a well known

Wall street attorney, "You cannot always put faith in the confession of a man who implicates himself in a crime. It is difficult to see why a man should confess himrfelf guilty when he is not, but the •criminal records show that it has been done. I remember, several years ago, that a certain attorney in this city, missed from a bureau drawer in his house a Government bond and a two dollar bill that had beon placed there for safe keeping. The articles could not be found, and suspicion naturally fell upon a boy employed about the premises, but whose honesty had never been doubted. He was questioned about the articles, but denied having seen them. Another search was made, but without bringing them to light. This confirmed the belief that tho boy had taken thorn, and again he was questioned. This time he admitted his guilt, upon promise that he should not be prosecuted. He said he had spent the money for caudy, and had thrown the bond into a vault. He said there was no need of searching for it there, as ho had torn it into shreds before throwing it there. He had seen the articles, ho said, and could not resist the temptation to take them. Ho was given a sound lecture and allowed to go, according to promise. A few weeks afterward the missing bond and the two dollar bill wero found in tho very drawer whero they had been placed. The boy had never seen them, and just why be should have confessed to stealing these things is one of the many peculiar things that no follow can find out."

"That reminds mo," said a police official, "of a similar occurrence here several years ago. A lady had a fine •diamond disappear under circumstances which pointed towards a servant girl as being accountable for it. Evory effort was made to find tho ring before accusing tho girl, but without avail. When luostionod sho admittod her guilt, and said she had givon the ring to her lover. She was givon a sentence to the woman's reformatory on her plea of guilty. Some lime afterward tho ring was found in a place it had rolled, anil had boon overlooked in tho search. Then, of course, a motive had to be found for the girl's confession to a deod of which sho had boon Innocent. The most plausible theory was this: The girl's lover had visited the house frequently, and when tho ring was missing her first idea was that he had stolen it and it would be found in his possession. Then to shield him she confessed to stealing the ring! and giving it to him. Of course, under tho circumstances, there was nothing to be done but sentence her to the reformats tory. have hoard of cases like this, but it was the first to come under my personal observation, and it shows to what ends women will go to shield the objects of their affection from harm."

"Talking of confessions," said a wollfenown official of the city government, had a beautiful experience with one last summer. A fellow under sentence to the State's prison told me of a gold watch and chain and a hundred dollars in money he had secreted over near Marshall, giving such clear directions that a blind man could have found them. Thcv were buried nnder the south end of the twentieth railroad tie on the Vandalia road cast of the Wabash crossing at Marshall. It was the hottest day we had last summer that another fellow and I went ov«*r to look for the stolen property. We got off at the crossing, and commenced our search. We dug under the twentieth tie, but no watch. Then we thought perhaps we bad mistaken the number, and we tackled another, but with the same result. There couldn't have beon a watch within a quarter of a mile of the crowing or we'd have found It. Every time wed hear a train approaching we'd run and hide behind Mine bushes near by to keep the persons on the train from seeing what blanketv blanked fools we were making of ourselves. I tell you it has to be a pretty good confession to catch me, now."

The lie publicans of this city have taken time by the forelock, and last night affected the organisation of a branch of the Lincoln League In pursuance of the plan that la being carried out throughout this State. meeting was held at the office of Henry Early, and after a thorough discussion of the question, a committee was appointed to prepare a constitution and by-laws and report at a meeting to be held next week, when permanent officers will be elected. The feeling last

night was strongly in favor of this action, and the next meeting will be a surprise to those who have fancied that it is rather early to begin organization. The success of thorough organization has been shown too often to doubt its merits. By beginning thus early the Republicans will be in good shape for the spring campaign, and the enthusi&sm aroused will carry the movement forward into the next important campaign, when the good effected by good, thorough and permanent organization will be made manifest. Immediately after the close of the November campaign Rambler suggested that a movement toward permanent organization would meet with favor here and the truth of this has been demonstated. It is the idea to secure some good centrally located room, whero a reading room and permanent Republican headquarters can be established, open at all hours to all who may wish to call. True Republican principles can be disseminated by means of the leading Republican papers, and the idea will be to maintain permanently a headquarters similar to that used during a political campaign. This is expected to be the outgrowth of the present movement, but primarily it is intended to be thoroughly organized and in fighting trim for the spring campaign, when it is almost assured that the discord in the Democratic ranks will lead to the election of the entire Republican ticket.

Manager Naylor is after the boys who have been disturbing the audiences at tho opera bouse, and offers a reward for the arrest and conviction of any one creating a disturbance there. If is a good move, and he will be heartily commended by the amusement-goers who have been greatly annoyed several times by the rowdyism. He has tried persuasion without effect, and now has undertaken another plan, which he is deter mined to enforce.

Another manufactory is added to Terre Haute's industrial interests. Articles of association were filed this week for "The Sole Leather Vamp Shoe Manufacturing Company," the purpose of which is to manufacture a shoe entirely of sole leathor, almost as hard and serviceable as a wooden shoe. It is particularly adapted to use of miners. The capital stock is $20,000, and it has all beon taken in equal sums of $2,500 by Edwin O'Boyle, John H. O'Boyle, Alex C. Bryce, W. W. Hauck, Charles D. (irifllth, Warden D. Griffith, W. F. Maurer and Wm. A. Smith.

D. C. Groiner has reason to complain of the manner in which the papers making a specialty of industrial news pass by his shoo factory in the Dowling Hall building. It will surprise many to learn that ho pays for labor nearly as much as all the tho flour mills in the city combined. It is gratifying to note that after much labor and anxiety together with tho "push" for -Whichthe is noted, his establishment is now upon a good paying basis aud ho begins to get money out of his investment.

Mrs. J. A. Modesitt, while in tho city on Monday made a sale of the lot north of Main street, extending from Water street to the river, to J. E. Sullivan the poultry dealer, for $3,500 cash in hand. Being located on the side of the hill, and of little value for ordinary purposes, the sale is regarded as an exceedingly good one. But it was just tho location Mr. Sullivan wanted, and he paid tho price.

This morning at nine o'clock afire was discovered in the third story of R. Forsters furniture house! Tho fire department had it out in less than an hour, but the damage from fire and water apparently amounts to about as much as that of last suminor. Nicholson's shoe store on one side and Monningor's saloon on the other wero badly damaged by water.

Collector Manson tells the Crawfordsvllle Journal that tho probability is that tho Terre Haute distillery will not bo rebuilt, as matters have not been going just as the late proprietors would have them go.

A novel feature in the way of church socials, is one in course of preparation by tho gentlemen of the Congregational church, who will attend the tables and do the work usually" monopolised by the ladies.

Slllil TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING- MAIL.

Handei's oratorio of Sampson, which will be rendered by the Oratorio society next Monday night, is one of those which the composer himself preferred to The .Messiah. This was probably owing to his well-known partiality for the dramatic form which prevails in all his oratorios except The Messiah and Israel. The libretto of Samson is compiled chiefly from Milton's dramatic poem, "Samson Agonistas." The characters represented are Samson, Micah, his friend, Manoah, his father, Delila, his wife, Harapha, a Giant of Gath, together with choruses of Israelites and Philistines. The scene is near the prison in Gaza, and the time comprises the last days of Samson's life, being also the day on which the Philistines celebrated a popular feast in honor of their god— Dagon—for having delivered Samson into their hands. Handel has been very highly praised for the admirable manner in which the music of the Hebrews is contrasted with that of the Philistines. This same contrast was afterwards made by Mendelssohn in his St. Paul and Elijah. In all three works, the sentiment expressed by the Pagan music is that of cold gracefulness, while that of the Hebrews is of a spiritual cast and especially characterized by tho noblest pathos and grandeur. The part of Samson (tenor voice) is one of the greatest difficulty, and only such exceptional tenors as Simd Reeves or the late Jos. Maas could take the whole jart. On the present occasion it will be given to three separate voices. The greatest of the tenor songs is the Aria alVunisono, "Why does the God of Israel Sleep?" Another, "Total Eclipse," is the air that so greatly affected Handel after he had become blind himself. Of the two soprano airs, the first "Ye Men of Gaza," which belongs to the Philistine feast-music, is of a very bright and melodious character, while the other, with its trumpet obbligato, expresses the sentiment of Milton's poetry: "Let the bright Seraphim In burning row, Their loud up-lifted angel trumpets blow.

This is one of the most difficult in the whole catalogue of Handel's airs. The trumpet part to this and the following chorus will be taken on the organ. The alto voice has also two airs, either of them equal to "He WasDespired," The bass also has an Aria att'unisono, the one which Mr. Whitney often sings with such telling effect, "Honor and Arms," The longest and most difficult one had to be omitted on account of time, but Mansah's beautiful air, "How Willing my Paternal Love," is retained. There are also two very dramatic duets, one for Samson arid his wife and one for Samson and the giant and last, but not least, twelve magnificent choruses. In the latter part of one ofjthese, "O FirstCreated Beam," there is a beautiful effect produced by augmentation. The subject of the fugue is repeated by the sopranos in notes of twice the length of those of the other three partes -The Dead -March from the oratorio of Saul will be played on this occasion. This is a custom which originated with Handel, who transferred it on account of its great popularity,
