From the Even log Gazette, June 29. CHARLES BROWN.

The Horse Tbief Caught. fa

llow TUEliOBWJSBV WAS COMMITED.

Wlicrc tlio TJilcf Went anl How ho Wai Captured.

With the general fact that lato night boforo last a pair of horses and a buggy were stolen from Mr. Ellsworth, of Uloomtown, Sugar Creek Township, near the Illinois line, that Mr. E., with bis neighbors,a«8l«ted in tracking them to this city early yesterday morning and that under tho direction of Chief of Police Shewmakor, the pursuit had commenced, the readers of the GAZKTTB were apprised yosterday. Tho first thing done by Chief Showmakor was to telegraph in every direction. Convinced that tho thlof had taken an easterly direction, he and policeman Vaiulever, accompanied by Don. Stunkard and "Sonny" Nelson, net out in buggies driving rapidly towards Brazil. A few miles this side of that city, they came across- soma movers, and from them learned that a team answering the description given, had passed along the road early that morning. At Brazil, ChiefShoowmakor was obliged to discontinue the ohase and return to the city. Th» pursuit, howover, was continued by Vandever who rode rapidly across thfe rountry, occasionally hearing of the object of his pursuit, often changing teams and once riiling on tho cars to Plainfield, whoro ho thought ho would head htm. When ho reached that placo, however, ho found that tho thief had boon captured and was already there awaiting ills arrival under charge of ex Marshal J. Jt. Painter, of Brazil, who had mado the arrest.

In responflo to tho telegram received at Brazil in the morning, Painter started in pursuit of the man, Ho rode on horsobnek at a fnrious rate so rapidly, in fact, that he was obliged to chango horses six times boforo ho finally caught up with and captured tho rap idly Hying thief. Ho heard of tlio toain at several places along tho road At Stilosville ho found, from the blacksmith, that ho had shod ono of tho horses Tliroo miles boyond Plalnliold, and one mile this side of what is known as the five points, it being tho crossing of the wagon road and tho Torro Haute A Indianapolis Railroad, ho came in sight of tho object of his search. When ho obsorvod the ofUcer in pursuit, tho thief whippod up his team, and an ox citing raco ensued, until finally, overtaking him, Painter ordered him to halt. Not doing §o, fainter shot at liiin twice. Not rolishing that kind of sport, hoof tho stolen team turned tho horses heads sharply around upsetting tho buggy. Climbing the fonco ho made across tUo fields, gotting a clear 200 yards tho start of Painter, whoso llrst work was to securo tbe team, so as to provont them from run nlng away. Thoro onsuod a race of about a milo and a hair across tho fields, when Painter caught up with and ouptured him, complotoly oxhaustod by his night's rido, the wound ho had ,received front tho pistol shot, and tho hard run ho lmd had. Ho was brought to this city on tho 11 o'cock train, by ex-Marshal Painter, of Brazil, his capturor, and pollcoinan Vandovor, whoso misfortuno it was to reach Plainflold after all tho "fun" was ovor, and just as captivo and captor wore driving into town. To a GAZETTK roporter who intorviowod 'him shortly altor ho was lodged in jail, tho liorsothiof gavo his naino us Charlos Brown Ho says ho was born noar Wheeling, W. Va., but has lived latoly in Now Orleans, having followed the rivor as a rouatabout f«r several years past. IIo had w&lkfed ftoross tho Rtato of Illinois from St. Louis, trying to mako his way to Cincinnati. Out of monoy, and unnblo to got any wprk, ho was tramping it across the! country, making his way us best ke could. Tuesday night he roachod Bloomtown, and went to sloep iu Ellsworth's barn- Hearing tho horsos neighing in tho stable, ho says he got to ^tuJ^aug lioir Jkmo liko to liuve thorn und ride to Cincinnati, and start into tlio express wugon business. Tho wish grow into a determination, aud then took sliapo soon in action. Hitching up the team as easily as ho could he started off on the road, east, making pretty rapid timo, as can woll bo imagined by the distance he traveled. Ho is a youngish looking man, only 19 years old, he says,and he can't bo much oldor,—of fair comploxtion. His features aro good, and altogether ho is a rather handsome looking follow, and though poorly clad, ho looks as if he bad boon accustomod to a hotter mode of lifo than tramping over the country hnhttng Ibr wttrk, and Btraytcfarris. He was shot in tho right arm, a little abovd' tho wrist. No bones wero broken, and tho wound is not dangor-

OPFXOKRS STANDKFORD and Brown, of our oity police, arrostod, last weok, ono UarrlB a burglar from Evansvlllo. tietoctivo Liuk, of the EvansriH«—farce arrived in tbe oity last night, and gavo his description of the man, which re.sul*cdSisstated' above* in ills arrest. Tho police horo, though, had had their eyes on him for several days, and whon this positivo conflrniat toft of his char actor reached them, it was a mattor of only a fow hours to hunt him up and c^pturo him. At tho time of his arrest, Harris was taking some bibulous rofroBhmeuts in the Coburn saloon, and when ho was told that ho was a prisoner, ho accepted his fate with oaltti realgnation, and went to tho Crowo's nest as ono who was not altogether unaccustomed to tho thing.

Cor. Evansville Eve. Herald. TERM? HAUTE, IND.,May 26.

Terro Haute girls wear kid gi ovea With a degree of spontaneous and nnanlmons acclamation that would re joice tho hoart of Acclamation Stock house himself. In fact the inevitable impression on tbe mind of an unsophisticated stranger, is that the mer cantile Interest of this burg is centered in dealers in sacotid-hand kid gloves. So many flngerless and otherwise di lapidated kids conld scarcely be found in any city as mav be counted in a sin gle afternoon on Main street. Next to their unanimity as specimens of dllap idation, they way be recorded as noted for their size. Most of them are made of ten year old billy goat skins as single kidsprovo inadequate to thedemand of the average Torry Hottentotters Speaking of hands, reminds us that Terro Haute girls havo large feet. They take thorn on parado with them. Thoy are cubic feet—as long as nine ordinay feet. This is a peculiarity of the cli mate. The further north you go, tbe more tbe female loot id expanded. If they grow In the same proportion that tho Terro Haute girls' feet do, ono Esquimau foot of the female persuasion would make a good abed roof for the Polar Sea. Another pecnliarity of the Terro Hauto girls is, that they aro not protty. Twelvo of the belles of tho city boiled down, would not afford enough beauty to adorn a Kentucky nursery maid.

Terro Hanto has one street, thoy call it Main stroet. It also has sevoral back alloys and country roads. Main street is paved tho book alleys and country roads are dusted. Sprinkling carts are recognized as an abomination o£ past ages not recognized as compat Iblo with tho degroo of civilization Torro Hauto hasattuinod. Terro Haute has a drug store that is metropolitan in style. It is ownod by Buntin Armstrong, nleo goiitlerr.cn, and do sorvedly popular firm, it also has an opera house, und ono that ICvan.svilln would bo proud of, or at least should bo. It has a metropolitan stono front blofck of business houses, it also lias tho State Normal Insti tuto, magnificent building, located in tho contor of barren, dirty lot, and surrounded by a tumble-down plank fence. Then it has several man ufacturing establishments. As com parod with Evansville, It lacks the ap pearanco of a city, lacks our nicoly paved sidewalks and bouldered stroots It lucks our hotol and prosperous bus iness uppouruueo. It is woofully lack ing in rotail establishments, and alto gothor boars ovidence of seodinoss sort of "what do you llvo for appoaranco. It comparos favorably with the lower end of Evansville, but it lias no First rtroet and tio wliarf worth mentioning.

In hotels, Rvansvillo beats it ten'to ono, and all tho elements that go^to make up a city fully as bad. Its good blocks anil fine residences are liko angols' visits. It is good for a railroad crossing, and (i good town to get out of. Otherwise, it is of but little uso on tho map. Nevertheless, It thinks it is groat placo, and tho nativos look at you with an "Ain't you astonished at our groatnossT" coat of countenance. We were not.

Thoro aro a groat many Indians horo All tho agoes' stores havo them. A good many of tho peoplo also havo tho "jim jams." For tho accommodation of such, it saloon is In the city building, forming a connecting link botwoon the Mayor's and City Recorder's offices.

Terro Hauto has throe daily papers, Thoy aro vory similar to tho Evansville papors. Each of thom claim tho largest circulation, (but tho GA/,F,TTK 7B generally recognized by the peoplo as really having the largest circulation.) Terro Haute people patronize their papors liborally. This is whero they aro not similar to tho Evansville papers. Everybody who don't walk hero drives a "buck board" turnout. They aro also airy, but very poor arrangements for "two souls with but a single thought," otc. GNIIC.

CAPTAIN E. B. ALLEN returned last week from Chicago, whero he has beon during tho past soveral days. Tho Captain hassuoeeoded, BO far, in negotiating tho sale of his car grain guago to the Rockford & Itock Island Road, to tho I., B. W., tho E. & C., tho I. & St. L., and Bovoral othors wo do not pow remember. It is spoken of so highly by all railroad officials, and is so generally appreciutod and liked in official circlos, that its introduction upon alFthe roads of the country, Is only a matter of time, and can confidently bo counted upon in a fow months at tho furthest. Tho basis of sale is #1 per car for tho existing amount of rolling stock, tho road to nave me rignc num guu yjmont, to introduce it upon all thoir cars in tho futuro, royalty froo. Introduced upon all tho roads of tho country on this basis, it will muko a handsome sum to handlo day times, aud dream of o'nights. Tho goldon showor has already begun may it prove a flood. Wo congratulate tho Captain upon the discovery of a method of inflating his currency, and still helping tho country.

A MAN from Butler county, Ohio, arrived in tho city last wook, and in an unguarded moment, stntod his desire to purchaso a farm in this vicinity, with a viow of moving his family hero. Tho roal ostato men, of courso, heard of this slmplo remark, aud swooped down upon their victim, astheeaglo upon his prey, or tho wolf upon tho fold. Whon seon, at noon to-day, that Butlor county man looked tired, and it was noticed that thero wero no but ton-holes on his double-breasted eoat But ho will purchaso a farm here, as will overy man that outers the town whoso hourt is opon to tho seductive influences of persuasive... eloquence There ai-d i8venty-tTfr8& real estate agonts In Torife Haute, and Jovoi-y ono of thom could make Patrick Henry hide his dimlniBhod head for very shame'that ho was so dull and slow of speech.

CITY TREASURER PADDOCK lias closed a bargain for the purchaso of two moro of the city's $1,000 bonds, issuod to the C. A T. II. Railway. These bonds are in tho possession of Nichols, Stone A Qo.^of Now York. The price paid was f)5 cents. They woro 10-20 7 por cent bends, interest payable semi annually, and consequently had from eight to eighteen years to run yot. This makos a total of twenty-three of theso apd teil of the water works bonds beught in by tho Treasurer within tho past fifteen mftntha. This purchase effects a saving of $2,700 on $38,000, besides saving tho interest. This work should go on until the city is out ol debt, then it should be otir care to kertp it out.

Riusy 6kken Warftd llft^eit thousand dollars to oxtend the east south branch to Bowling Green. Tbe people down tbero have twelve thousand rais ed, and. we understand, those Inter ested wiil make An effort to secure the balance. Iu this we hope they will be successful, as it would contribute greatly to the prosperity of the town and country-atound. Knightsville, too, should contribute to this fund, the terminus of the road being with her, she cannot but be greatly benefitted by a railroad connection with Bowling Green. If tbey would connect with our south switch we know our people would give a helping hand. Besides, Knightsville is promised around house for the engines, to be in uso up there, whielr Is no slight consideration.—iirasil Miner.

ABOUT 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon Indianapolis was blessed with a rofroshing showor, and Sunday about the samo hour Terre Haute was similary favored.

DECORATION DAY.

Honor to tbe Fallen Braves/ The procession, after some lime delay in forming at tbe corner of Third and Main streets, started at half-past 9 for the cemetery. The order observed, was as follows: First, the band, then the city police, fifteen in number then tbe Terre Haute Light Guards, nineteen in number then about ono hundred and fifty girls cariying flowers then the Ancient Order of United Workingmen, to the number off wen five the tire department, and finally carriages and persons on foot.

Reaching tho cemetery, the children deployed over the ground, scattering their votive offerings of beautiful flow era over the graves oft he soldiers buried there. A marked feature of this part of the ceremony was tho fact that no distinction was mado botween Union and Confederate dead, a few of tho kit tar of which sleop iu the cemetory, an conscious aliko of honor or of shame.

Flowers were strown on all the graves, and filled with their kindly fragrance, the air from which hale bad long since entirely disappeared. While this ceremony was being performod tho following incident occurrod In secluded spot in the cemetery, a little girl was observed crying bittorly. On being quostionod as to tho cause of hor grlof, she replied "No one has doc orated my father's grave, and I'cannot do it bocause I havo no flowers." lady overhoarlng, asked the little miss to show the way to the grave. She did so, and it was found to bo unmarked by tho usual flag. Tho girl's tears wero suppressed whon tho gravo was strewn with garlands of flowers.

After the docoratlon services proper woro ovor, tho crowd assembled in tlio grovo adjoining tho cometorji. After prayer by N. L. Brakeman, and mu sic by tho band, Col. T. H. Nelson was introduced as tho orator of tlio occa sion. In a spooch of only fow min utes' duration, tho eloquent gontlomau referred in fitting terms of oulogy and pralso to tho noblo service of those whoso deaths they commemorated and whoso graves thoy camo to cover with flowers. After tho bonediction which was pronounced by Rov. Hon derson, tho audience disporsod, and tho bouutiful services wore at an end.

Arguments of Messrs. Williams and Yoorhees A Carlton.* Upon tbe assembling of the Commissioners' Court Tuesday morning, a large crowd being present, the petition of Mr. Henry Sleighlitz for permit to retail liquor on the west side of Fourth street, between Main and Cherry, came up for argument. John G. Williams, Esq., appeared for tho Temperance Committee, and opposed the issue of tho permit. Messrs. Yoorhees A Carl ton, appeared for the applicant. Mr. Williams addressed the Board iongth, arguing that the application should not bo granted, on the ground that the applicant had not the names of a majority of the voters of his ward, as appeared by the poll books. Mr. Voorhees followed in a short speech, for the applicant, arguing that the majority of voters of tho ward was all that waa necessary, drawing a distinction be tween voters and those who really vote. He alluded feelingly to the stay at-home vote, referring to his own experience with that element Mr, Voorhees, continuing, particularised that under the 4th section of tbe Baxter bill, it was a

From the Indianapolis Journal. As a result of a recently perfected urrungement for pooling the earnings of the Vandalia and Indianapolis A St. Louis roads, a three per cont. dividend has been declared, payablo July 1st.

It is understood that the Indianapolis A St. Louis road is to shorten tho running timo botween St. Louis and Indianapolis, of tbe fast train thirtyfive minutes, making tho dlstanco botween tho two points in tho same timo as tho Vandalia road.

It is rumored that tho Indianapolis, Cincinnati A La Fay otto road, with tho Vandalia line, will put on through oars between Cincinnati and St. Louis, making tho samo timo mado over the Ohio A Mississippi road, overcoming tho eleven miles difloronco in distance, thoy think, with oaso, on account of tho superiority of tho road bed of tho I., C.

Tho Logic of Loyalty.

To the Editors of the Evening Gazette:

In- yesterday's Express, I Add an article, which, to me, is very consoling. Coming from a loyal source, It is entitled to some weight, and that's what makes mo leel good. I refer to tbe article entitled "Loyalty," in which, so far from claiming that "loyally is one of tbe cbiofost of virtues," it is asserted that "it Is really one tho meanest of attributes," and that loyalty and superstition, credulity and ignorance, al! go together. Henceforth let tbe loyal, superstitious, ignorant and credulous officers and soldiers of the Union army bow with becoming reverence in the presence of tho man who never before thought it an honor to sign himself REBEL.

TEMPERANCE.

The Committee Concludes to Hold In fH Reserve the ttaestien of Appealing from the Commls,7, Blotters' Court. ,.M} jHst, I

.jw Concerning Permits.

[Communicated.]

The temperance committee had rather a full meeting Wednesday, and decided to hold In rescrvo the question of appealing from tbe decision of the county Board in regard to the legality of the applications. The decision was so contrary to a fair construction of the law, that there is scarcely any hope that tbe present Board can be so en' lightened as to take a common sense view of what the law contemplated. Section 2 says—touching the petitions —"which petitions shall be signed by the applicant, and by majority of tho legal voters resident in the ward, if it be a city or town, Ao." Now, when a petition Is presented, and it is discovered that it has over 200 names not on the poll books of the ward in which the petition has been circnlated, and the poll books show that 700 persons voted at tho recent Council election, it certainly does prove that there are over 900 legal voters in that ward, in that case, the law does compel the petitioner to have a majority of the 900. The Board ruled difforontly. This was one horn of dilemma. Tbo poll book ahowed that 700 persons only voted. Now, it it Is claimed that thero are ovor 900 legal voters in the ward, bow could the Board decide with any degroe of fairness that the petitioner was requlrod to got only a majority of tho 700,

But section 4 explains and gives the true and propor construction of that part of Section 2. It says: Tho wholo uuuiber of votes cast for candidatos for Congress at tho last preceding Congressional oloction in tho township, and tbo wholo numbor of votes for Councilman or Trustee iu any ward or town "at the last preceding municipal election, Ac," shall be deemed to be the whole number of legal voters of such ward, "a majority of whose namos shall be signed to tho petition of such applicant."

Now horo wros iho otlior horn of tho Board's dilemma. The law expressly says—"tho number of votes caat"—meaning, of course, oi those who voted. If any ono did not vote, be was not considered a logal voter, In getting ing up tho potltion. Let tho reader consider well the two words, "cast," and "whoso." An bonost and fair reasoning upon the two sections, ought to convinco any unbiased mind, that tho Board wore grossly misled, or bllndod by prejudice. TEMPERANCE,
