In the course of the conversation .lie observed "You know Bright's acquitted Terre Haute replied, "yes," but looked so dull that the remark was repeated in a little different form. "You know they have acquitted Bright "Oh, yes, I understand," was the reply, and drawing nearer, in a confidential tone he asked: "Now, who was it he killed?"—Ind. Eve. Journal.

He has thoughtfully and carefully considered bis-general make-up, and concludes that he is not fire-proof. The cruel fate of Chicago and the safes is enough to discourage any one from such a course.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 13, 1872.

THE New Hampshire election has resulted in a Republican triumph. The Republican Governor is elected, and the Legislature is Republican by a large majority. This is encouragine,and will give renewed activity to Republicans all over the country, and starts the campaign of 1872 with the most flattering auspices.

AN article appeared in our local columns a few days ago, in which it was stated that Col. Thompson had written editorials for the Mail. Col. T. informs us that such is not the fact, and while he cares nothing about it himself, lie desires this correction in justice to Major Smith. mm

The zeal of the boys is entirely commendable when they have safety on their ride. Zeal, however, when human life and valuable property is at stake must not be overdone, lest the consequence be as indicted above, or life and property both sacrificed. The road does an immense freight business, and a good share of the passenger traffic. Even extra or "wild trains" are almost constantly on th9 track, aud fast running cannot be indulged in by freight trains without incurring great risks.

TUKN HIM OUT.—We publish the following for the benefit of young ladies who have little brothers who will insist upon remaining iu the parlor when their beau caljg:

I'm certain that I wished somebody would spank the young rascal. We talked of hills, mountains, vales and cataracts—I believe I.said waterfalls, when the boy spoke up and said: "Why, sister's got a trunk full of 'em up stairs pap says they're made of hoss hair."

This revelation struck terror into me and blushes in the cheeks of my fair com-, panion.

It began to be very apparent to me that I must be very guarded in what I said, lest slid boy-might slip in his remarks at uncalled for places. I turned my* conversation to him and told him ho ought to go home with me, and see what nice chickens we had in the country. LTnluckily, I mentioned a pair of calves my brother owned. The word calves ruined all. The little one looked up and said: "Sister's got a dozen of them, but she don't wdar 'em only when she goes up town of windy days." "Leave the room, you unmannerly little wretch!" exclaimed Emily "leave immediately." "I know what you want me to leave the room for," he replied, "you can't fool me. You want to set on that man's lap and kiss him like you did Bill Simmons the other day you can't fool me, I jes tell you. Gimme some candy like he did aijd I'll go. You think because you've got the Grecian bend that you're smart. Guess I know a thing or two. I'm mad at you, anyhow, 'cause pap would a bought me a top yesterday, if it hadn't been for getting them curls, dog gone yer. You needn't turn so red in the face, cose I kin see the paint. There ain't no use'n winkin' at me with that glass eye of your'n, cause I ain't goin' outen here, now that's what's the matter with the purps. I don't care if you are twenty-eight years old, you ain't no boss ol mine."" a Dolly Tardens.

As there seems to be anxious inquiry among many of our lady readers as to what the above means, we shall endeavor to enlighten them by giving place in our columns to a-description of the articles in question from the Indianapolis Trade Palace Monthly, which reads as follows:

Dolly Vardehs are simply the old iashioned large-figured chintz. They are made into polonaise, trimmed with ruffles of the same, and worn over plain skirts, generally black, and are very fashionable. The indications are that thoy will be as popular h9re as they are in the East.

Now we trust the many female readers of the Evening GAZETTE will be happy, though we kn^w they will not until they get one of those "perfectly splendid Dollies."

A YOUNG SON of W. R. Hutftef had a narrow escape from a violent death last evening, at JFouts' livery stable. "Willie" Is little fellow about four years of age, and in company with a lad about his own age was playing in the hay mow of the establishment. In running back and forth, Willie fell through a hatchway a distance of about ten or twelve feet to the floor, striking on his right side shoulder and the side of his head. The severe shock of the concussion, rendered the little fellow senseless for some two hours. Doctor Roberts was called !awho skillfully .dressed bis wound.

LiBEBAti and varied premiums on cats will be an attractive feature of the next Vigo County Fair.—Ind. Journal.

If the State Printer had not been checked in his felicitious, profitable and pleasurable pastime, of removing the pelts of felines, a very valuable premium would necessarily have been expected to have induced any adventurer to have made an effort to procure a cat for that or any other purpose. The most that could have been produced in the felinfe line by that time would have been the carcass, relieved of the pelt, even to the caudal appendage.

W. D. G. and the Terre Haute Kailroad. To the Editor of the Commercial: "W. D. G.," in the first portion of the letter published in the Commercial of March 11, 1872, attacks a statement of Professor Cox. That gentleman will deliver a lecture on Tuesday evening, by request, before the Board of Trade of this city, aud will, therefore, be here jn time to answer for himself, if he sees fit. "W. D. G." next states that the recorded "mortgage of the Cincinnati & Terre Haute Railway Company is a fraudulent instrument, and void in fact. The opinions of Messrs. Evarts, Southmayd & Choate, and of Messrs. Barlow, Larocque & McFarlaud, of New York, are "that such mortgage or deed of trust is drawn in proper legal form for the security of the bondholder."

The mortgage is not stamped, as stated by W. D. G., but each bond is, as is legal, and more proper.

As to personal liability of Directors, to which two paragraphs are given, W. D. G. will never lose or gain by it. Our Directors need no gratuitous advice, and the public is not interested. S.

THE DAYTON HORROR.

The Story of the Maniac Mnrderer.

Religious

Insanity the Tragedy.

The unhappy wretch told a lpug story about his discussion with his wife about witches, God and the devil. He said she urged him to take fire to the woods, and burn the clock and looking-glasses on it, because God had told her to. She had taken things from her relatious, (her father died several years ago) which she thought bewitched, and wanted them burned. She.told him that a bundje of rags were

liir

mother, and insisted that

she should be burned in a crock. He knew God—in whom he "believed"—bad not ordered these things to be burned, because they wouldn't burn. Meantime the children got to believing iu witches. They said" that their mother taught them so, and they persuaded him that he could catch the witches in -his hands and squeeze them to death. "Mary," he said, "would ask three times of God, and if she got an answer all right if- she didn't then it was the devil. When the devil answered then I would quit, and say it was foolery. Then Mary ^ould get mad, but I couldn't haveliad abetter wife. We we're both kind to each other through all this foolery." The pathos of this poor fellow in this recital was extremely touching, especially when he went over "Mary was a good wife, I couldn't have a better, I didn't tend to kill her, bat I didf." Then he went on to describe a wild dance they had to kill witches how they killed them then that Mary had a hallucination that she ought to cut off his head that she took a knife and cut through his neck-haudker-chiet into his skin until he bled, when she said that his neck was hard as Iron, and that God didn't intend that his head should be out off.

Cause of the

THE STORY OF THE MANIAC MURDERER. The precedent history of the family, and the sto of the murder is dramatic in the most thrilling degree. There was not time when this was written to tell the tale of the maniac husband and father. He was in a cage in the station house asleep, when he was awakened to tell his story to us. When aroused he struck us at once as a deranged man, although his unnaturally red. face suggested intemperance. But his story disabused us of that impression. At the close he said "I drank more yesterday than I ever draek in one day in my life, and I did not feel it at all." We thought him a man at least fifty years old. His originally dark brown hair was grizzly, like a foolishly-fashionably powdered head, though not as powdery as fashion dictates to her votaries. His hair was long and lank, parted on one side his face red, long aud thin, with a strong, straight nose forehead low eyes grey aud small, with a wild, sharp outlook. He was respectably dressed said he -'had on his good clothes," and though a workingman, the feeling and shake of his hand was like a woman's. He said his story would take an hour. Late as it was we told him to go on. He said his name is Leonard Marquardt is a Hessian, thirty-six years old came to this country when he was eighteen has a sister residing near Newark, New Jersey, married Catharine Walter in this country when he was twenty-one, and separated from her because she had a child after they were married a little over four mouths. Eight years ago he married Mary Miller, a Germau woman, at Beavertown, who had been separated from her husb&nd for about the same reason that had caused the divorce between him and Catherine Walter. He loved Mary and she loved him, and they were true to each other. They had six children in eight years th'e youngest only six months^old, being one of the three that was murdered. "God knows,' he said "how it died." He and Mary had not lived unhappy, but there were differences. She believed in witches, and he believed in her. They first got to "playing the fool about Heaven." Both were Lutherans, though neither went to church, nor saw a clergyman, nor had anything to do with Spiritualism. She had notions that she must do as God and the devil told her. If God did not answer her after her three appeals the fourth answer WAS from the devil, and she thought—his story—that she must do what both God and the devil told her. They both prayed. He was devout she according to his story didn't" have faith. They had children rapidly, and she told him how to record their names in the Bible, and their first controversy was about Heaven. Their first child, now over seven years old, was named Elizabeth, after the mother of John the Baptist, at his wife's dictation the second after Babakkuk, the prophet the third after John the Baptist (this child dying when eight months old) the fourth Leath the fifth Samuel: the sixth Magdalene. Leath, Samuel and Magdalene were the three who were murdered, Elizabeth and Habakkuk escaping.

TERRE HAUTE, IND.: WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 13. 1872

nothing could hurt me, I did believe in Him. I read my Bible day and night and I believed in God Almighty with all my soul."

THE LAST DAY.

We inquired about the children again. He said they believed in witches as strongly as Mary did. .They were not afraid of him, but always when he came home they met him with a shout. But Mary would have spells. On Friday last, she went to bed, and laid as if she was dead, and he couldn't arouse her. She said she saw a vision of her own coffin, and the coffins of the children, but not his. She said the end was soon coming. She did not understand it. He didn't want her to go to Heaven without him, "but if God Almighty said so it must be so." She had one of these spells. She went to bed and wouldn't get up. He thought she was dead. She didn't feed the children and wouldn't have a fire. They both set up in bed nearly all night, Sometimes he would get up aud read the Bible. In the morning she wouldn't have a fire. He told her he was "tired of this foolery," and if she didn't quit it he would leave her and never come back. But he added, pathetically, "I told her she should have every cent I had in the world—I wouldn't have taken five cents from her for millions, for she was a good wife to me I couldn't have found a better one in all the world." There was enough of this talk to fill a page of the Journal.

Marquardt went on to say that on that day, Saturday, "I was a little against her, but I didn't quarrel with her. We didn't quarrel. We only argued about God Almighty, the devil and witehes. She had got to thinking that she was a witch, that the children were witches, and that witches should be killed. The oldest child said she was a witch. All the children said mamma did it (taught them) but they wouldn't say that I had anything to do with it, unless Mary (his wife) touched them." Then Marquardt would go off again in his wild way, praising the goodness of his wife. He said-he made the fire burn notwithstanding Mary said it wouldn't, aud after awhile Mary got up and milked the cows Then he went to reading his Bible and got to crying, and then another talk with Mary, when he went over to his neighbor, Jack Weld's, and told his trouble. Mr. Weld seems to have understood Marquardt's situation, aud tried to pacify him, but f^s unsuccessful. At half-past nine o'clock Saturday night Marquardt said he was at another neighbar's house, Mr. Miller's, and that Mrs. Miller, without any fire, got him a boiling hot cup of coffee in less than two minutes. "How she did it, Mister, (he said) without fire, nobody but God Almighty could tell. But as my wife couldn't cut my throat with a sharp knife, I knew that hot coffee nor poison couldn't kill me, so I drank the coffee, and they looked at me iu astonishment." Then the maniac went on to describe that at 10 o'clock, he would be afraid to to go home but as it was only half-past nine there was no danger. He started off, saying, "When I got out of the yard, I shouted to God Almighty to strengthen me. I had four miles to go, Mister. Sometimes, sir, it was so dark I couldn't see an inch. Then again it was as light as day. I got iuto a creek halfleg deep, but I knew God Almighty was with me andl was safe."

THE TRAGEDY.

"I finally got home. I had a big bulldog there to keep thieves away. He never had been cross to me before, but somehow he fought me. I seized him by the jaws, as Samson .caught the lion, and tore open his jaws. I knew he couldu't hurt me. I called on God Almighty to strengthen me. I almost tore the mouth of the dog open. He scatched my hands a little with his paws. But he was conquered I gave him a kick and he left me. I went into the house and told Mary we had better go to the woods with the children. She .took one, I took two. I sat.,upon the fence when she gave me the child she had. I held them in my arms tight, (showing how he embraced them) and told her to go back to the house for the other two. We w^re going to heaven. I knew we had to go by the straight and narrow path. There is a thorny patch in the woods. That is the straightway. I went with the children that way, and dropped them as I went. I do not know how the children came to die. I went to the pond, took off my clothes, and sat down in it naked. Mary was at the fence, but after awhile she came lo-me inaked and sat down in the mud and water with me. She said she couldn't find the other two children, (the poor things, frightened almost to death, were concealed under the bed) they had gone somewhere. I told Mary it was very cold, and she bad better go to the house. She wouldn't go without me, and proposed that we should dress. Our clothes were dirty, and I said "No, it isn't worth while we can go to the house, naked." We went back (not a word said Marquardt about bis strangled little onest Mary laid down iu bed. She said "You want to kill me?" "No, Mary," I said, "I wouldn't kill you for all the world." I had a strange feeling I kept rubbing my faee with my hands I finally put them on Mary's throat it was soft and smooth. I didn't intend to hurt her, Mister. But she didn't comet to. I hollered at her hei* body was warm I laid down beside her I thought I could bring her to as Christ had done, but I couldn't do it. Then I read my Bible. Somehow, Mister, I had a not tion that I had better put on my besclothes yesterday morning. That's the way they found me. I never did drink much, Mister, but I had two banks of wine—one for Mary, and one for me. But I couldn't bring Mary to. I didn't intend-to hurt Mary, Mister, for she was good to me, and we were good to each other. I hadn't eat much for a long time, and to-day (Sunday) I drank more wine than I ever drank before, and I didn't feel it a bit. I was going round this way when these fellows (neighbors we understood) picked me up iu their wagon. I was willing to go anywhere with anybody, fori never,was a quarrelsome man. You could hit me in the face, Mister, and I wouldn't hit you back, because I think it wrong. But, Mister, they oughtn't to have taken me back where Mary was lying dead."

There was vastly more of this singularly amazing story of a maniac murderer, but at 3 o'clock this morning we cannot give more of it. He told us that be was not addicted to drink, though we suspect from his appearance that he drank deeply yesterday. His manner and tone are exceedingly mild, and he insists, with strong persistency, that he does not know how his children died. Those who heard the shocking story at length from the miserable murderer's own lips, never wish to hear another like it. Whether his wile, like himself, was a religious monomaniac remains to be developed

NEW YORK, March 18.—A painful ru mor was current this -morning that the steamer Republic, of the White Star Line, was lost ou a voyage from Liver pool. Inquiry reveals the fact that the Republic was advertised to sail from Liv erpool on March 7, and was not due at this port till March 10. Latter information corrects the first rumor and states that the vessel which was lost was an old hulk, a ship and not a steamer.

The Erie building has resumed its former condition this morning, and the officials are all busy at their respective places. Things under the new regime appear to work smoothly. A meeting of the Directors was held this morning, but nothing was done beyond the issuing of an order to the various employees of tfie road to respect the new authority.

CONCORD, N. H., March 13.—The returns continue to come in slowly, but a Republican triumph is undoubted. No county is yet complete. Straw's majority

111

the State is now estimated at

2,527, which will probably be reduced by returns from townships to hear from. In the Legislature there will probably be a Republican majority of 62.

NEW YORK, March 13.—Despite the objections of the District Attorney, a stay of proceedings has been granted in the case of Moore, the emigrant robber, by Judge Barnard. Moore still remains in the Toombs.

Dr. Johannes Roasing, German Consul General, has published'a call in the German papers of this city, invitiug the Germans in American to contribute for a national monument in token of German victories and unity. It is proposed to erect it iu the Neederwald, near Frank-fort-on-the-Main.

A young named Mary Harweiz, aged 23years, residing atNo. 272 Third avenue, committed suicide yesterday by shooting herself through the temple with a pistol. The affair is wrapped in mystery, but the case is supposed to be disappointment in love, as she was in excellent|health and spirits up to a short time before the commission of the act.

The Herald thinks the new directors have a duty to perform that they must not xrfeglect, namely: To put the people in possession of the true and complete history of the ring operations, particlarly that of 1870. It demands that a new regime give at once a true history of the past and clear the record for future times, and urges the passage of the Erie elections bill without delay.. The bill comes up in the State Senate to-morrow. It demands that a careful, thorough and" authoritative provision be made for the stockholders' interests in future stock operations. They met at the Eifth Hotel last evening, and the Erie stock was sold at 361@36J.

BROOKLYN, March 13.—The amateur billiard tournament terminated last night, the result being the success of Mr. Rapleye, who won the champion cue by his yictory over Rogers. Score—Rapelye, 500 Rogers, 390.

BROOKLYN, March 13.—Mrs. Hoho'ra Byrane, aged 35 years, residing at Yates avenue and Quincy street, committed suicide last evening by banging herself. She had quarrelled with her husband during the early part of the evening,, and being slightly intoxicated, drove him drom the house. Domestic infelicities are believed to be the cause.

The great fight over Erie still occupies the attention of the press. The Tribune this morning thinks the events of yesterday ought to be viewed with much satisfaction by all law-abiding citizens.
