TALES ABOUT THE TIES.

Railroad Rumors—At Hoir.? and Abroad—Wind and Weather.

THE TL00D3.

On tho llnoof the O. & M., road are causing great inconvenience to operations. The trains now coming from Cincinnati, so we are informed, by a railroad man, who has just come north, go as lar as North Vernon, when they are compelled to branch south to Jeffersonville, from Jeflersonville to New Albany, and from New Albany back to their own lino at MUcbr-1. thus uoing out of their way a trifle of eighty miles. Nothing more than an noyatce has been caused by the snows on the Terre JIauto roads.

THE FRKIOnT AGENTS' MEETISO. From tha

Indianapolis

definite

Journal.

The meeting of freight agents of Indianapolis roads was hel(J vf'sie altercoon at the office oftl. bard, Assistant General Freight A0ont of 'he St. Louis pooled lines. All the tho roads, with the exception of „be Pani audio, Indianapolis & Vinceunes, and the J^ffersonville, Madison fc Indianapolis, were represented. Although no

action was taken, the de­

murrage question and the adopting ol a uniform rate for delivering cars upon the city switches, were thoroughly discussed*. The opinion seemed almost unanimous that, it was no injustico to the consignor that railroad companies should b9 remunerated for delay in unloading freight and for placing cars upon a private switch for unloading, as the business of this city had reached such gigantic proportions that it required twenty-four engines most of the time with largo gangs of men who did little else than handle the cars used in local business, other engines doing the switching in the yards. Tho meeting was then adjourned until Tuesday next, when it, is expected every road will be represented and some action taken in the matter.

As will be seen elsewhere a Vandalia brakeman now seems to bo in trouble with the partner of bis bosom.

WIND AND WEATHER

come

at last. The winter of on/ discontent broken on tho morning ef Feb ruary 1. 1S79. The months of December and Ji riUBjy, wen maikcd us the mildest, the highest in average metroloaical temprature known in Terre Haute, in tho last quarter of a century. Up to the very last day ofJanua ry the SDringand autumn like weather held "the even. tenure o.t its way. Considerable rain fell during the night and at 7 A. M.,.on th morning of February 1st the thermometer marked 45 degrees above zaro. In one hour from that time a snow storm set in, the fury and lerceness of which has never been excelled in this locality It continued through the day, the mercury falling rapidly until it reached zero by midnight. Six to eight inches of snow foil, and lerge part of which was waited into beautiful and graceful dlifts.

DESERTION, 0It WHA1.'

Persons Wow Reported So lie Kliippiog Out Couse 8o Us in "Momful

There bas lived on Thirteenth street, for sorae time, a man named Frank Hamilton and bis wife. Mr Hamilton is a breakman on the Vantlalia road, and is, as far as we can learp, of good repute. They have been married about two years. Nearly a year and a half ago they separated, but subsequently came together, and have lived happily with one another. In view of these facts the action of the wife last Monday night seem?, queer, Some time after seven o'clock the household goods were racked into an wagon and hauled away, and the house was left deserted the next day. Whether she has left her husband and takes this method of procuring money enough to travel, or whether the remarks of the neighbors (who aside from this all bear testimony of the good character of both) are mis* taken, and Hamilton is merely making a change of residence, is unknown. Certain it is that the family is gone, and that night is rather a queer time to move in.

A Rough one on John.

Prosecutor John Lamb, whatever may bo his reputation among bis white brethren and friends, enjoys the clistinctian of being heartily disliked by the colored people of tbis «ty.

At a recent debate at the A. M. hi. on the subject of tho third term, an amus_ ing incident took place. The conie&t was waxing warm the party in favor of a single term was putting in good arguments, hot and strong for the system, and the prospects of his opponent, favoring as many terms of office as the people chose to elect a President. were beginning to getexceedmgly slim. When the third term man arose he made a speech somewhat after this fashion: •'Ladies and gentlemen, it won't do to elect a new man everyfouryears.it will make the thing too common. The first thing we know there will be an election overv week, and finally every day until at last the office will be handed 'roun as cheap as slop, John Lamb vi.l get elected." It brought down the house, and a decision was at once rendered in his favor. That society could not bear tho possibility of John Lamb's ever bting elected.

'Ihe Fire Men's Ball.

The committee had made arrangements with tho proprietors of the St. Charles Hotel to provide supper for those in attendance at the ball to be given at the City Hall to morrow night and so annouiieed to the public but they were notified to-day that the Sr. Charles people would be unable to fulfil the contract. They have accordingly made arrangements with Eugene Brun:ng to prepare supper for as many as desire it, at his restaurant, on Main street. On such short notice it will be impossible for Mr. Bruning to remove his cooking utensils to the hall. It is therefore necessary that all wiip wish supper should go to Bruning's. This win be rather inconvenient, bnt it is tha best arrangement the committee could make on Bach short' notiee.

The Kali Works.

The nail works began yesterday in good earnest, and will probably contiuue iu full blast for the rtstof the season. The large number of nail feeders, aud rolling mill operatives,, who have been out of employment during the past few monlhs are again at work, lookiug as happy and contented as though they had Dever seen hard times. It is understood that the company now have a market for all the nails which it is possible to manufacture, and it is not likely that work will again be stopped.

Mr. Smith amned. the matter, simw. ing that the street was not a thorough fare, that tho citizens along the line, rather than the city, was interested that the property holders along the line knew when they bought that the street was narrow.

A Live COUNT.

WIliSKET AND BEER BRING ALL JUfcN TO A COMllON LEVEL.

The Connt Minkowsky au lmnatc of ilio Terre Jlant Work Moose.

Most of the readers of the GAZETTE will be surprised to learn that there is a genuine nobleman in Terre Haute, a real live Count. Nevertheless, such is the fact. Count Mankowsky, an exiled Polish Nobleman, is snjoumiug temporarily, within the walls of our city. In fact,"within the walls of our city prison, serving cut a sentence proriouueed by his Honor, Mayor Edmunds.

The Count has been a resident of Vincennea for several years, where ho has followed tho occupotion of shoemaker, or something of that sort. He camo to this city a few days since for tho purpose of spending a few days among 'ho beer mugs and whisky kegs of the Prairie City.

Tho love of strong diiak is a weakne of the Count's, which he is unable to overcome, and as the Countess Mankowsky regards this little eccentricity r.s something akin to crime, and inflicts severo penalties on her recreant lord when he happens to come home ia a state of mild intoxication, he concluded rn this occasion to put himselt out of nreach before he ventured to indulge in his favorite •dimulants. He reached this city on Thursday last, and immediately bevan bis carouse. Ho squandered all the money ho had with him and telographed to the Countess for money to pay his fare home. Tho money catna yesterday, but instead of purchasing a ticket lor home, the Couut concluded to prolong his spree for a day, and thus it. happened that Ofiiear Harris found the exiled nobleman niuht before last in a boastly Stato of Intoxication. The officer conducted tho Count to the hotel de Nott and engaged a comfortable apartment for him. Yesterday morning he was arraigned before Mayoi Edmunds and lined In the sum of §1 and costs. Not being possessed of the necessary funds for the satisfaction of tho cir.y's claim against him, his highness was ignominionsly bundled off to the stone yard, and commanded to work itout.« He again telegraphed to his distinguished consort in Vinccnnes for a supply of cash, which will, no doubt, arrive to-day. Meantime the poor cxilo ia compelled to pound stone with tho oommon herd.

Bill Laws, the celebrated Ethiopian terpsichorean from Terre Haute, was in town last night.

It is said that Mr. P. L. Ornderff, has consented to become a candidate for the office of Prosecuting Attorney, suLject to the Democratic convention. Mr. Orndorff is a good lawyer, an honest straight-forward man a sound Democrat, well liked by all who come in contact with him, and no doubt the strongest man in the Democratic ranks for that position, it is the duty of the Democracy in selecting their" candidates for the coming contest, to proceed without personal avor or affection, but with reference to the good of the party only. If this is done, the battle will be easy and the victory overwhelming. But if they proceed as they have in some instances heretofore, selecting political monomaniacs and unqualified "dead beats," thep will deserve defeat, and (.undoubtedly get it.

Mr. M. B. Yeakle has finished two signs for J. M.Dishon, tha popular city bill pester, which are pronounced by all who have seen them to be the finest specimens of sign painting in the city. Tho design is takeif from Disbon's well known advertising cut, which

Elwar«l Talenline ittneks Mis Step Sou VViils an Ax and is Killed.

From the Indianapolis Journal. Between 3 and 4 o'clock yf sterday afternoon a colored boy, 15 or 16 years of age, camo into tho Sheriff's office with the startling information that he had killed his step-father, and wanted to give himself up to justice. The boy was terribly excited and could give no coherent narrative of the murder, and was accordingly conducted to the station house, where ho gave his name as Charles Love, and said that his stepfather, Edward Valentine, had assaulted him with an axe about 2 o'clock, and to escape being killed by him, being otherwise impossible, h^ had picked up a loaded shot gun standing in a corner of tho room aud discharged the contents into tha body of his assailant. Without wailing to see whether he had killed his step-father or not, he ran out to meet his mother, who advised him to give himself up to the officers. On recovering from his excitement somewhat, Love became more connected in his statements, aud snid that Valentine was drunk, and when in that condliisti was always abusive. Tbis time he was angry because Lovo could not get work, and went at him with an axe as belore detailed. HA said that his ferocious relative struck at him three times, and bo with difficulso escaped being killed.

THE CF.NE OF Til 13 KILLING.'

Sorgoant Dan Kiloy was dispatched to tho scene of bloodshed, on Twelfth strret-, near the corner of Mississippi,in a double frame tenement house. Dep-uty-Coroner Miller and an undertaker, were picked up on tbe route,and on arriving at tbe point designated the facts were found to be about as stated by the boy. Valentine was found lying on the kifchen floor, face downward, in a pool of blood, and examination showed that tbe charge bad entered his body at tho base of bis neck, tearing a ghastly hlue through his color bone and cans ing instant death. There was nobody the bouse at the time ot the affray except the two combattants aud a little five-year-old girl, who was too badly frightened to tell what she kuew.and for that matter it is doubtful whether she really knows much about it. Two axes found on the floor near where the body lay seemed to afford corroberation of the boy's version of the aflair. A Coroner's jury was impaneled and an inquest will bo held this afternoon at 2 o'clock. The deceased followed the occupation of teamster or soap greape gatherer and bore a .bad reputation, being .considered quarrelsome to a dangerous degree.
