WILFUL MURDER.

An Old Man. Shoots Down His Son.

WHISKY 18 THE CAUSE.

The Demon Safe In Jail.

The particulars of the deliberate shooting of young John Trader by his drunken father, in Sugar Creek township, Friday afternoon, are given in the papers of this morning. The following account is from the Journal:

It seems that a family named Trader, consisting of a father, mother and son, lived in a miserable log hovel in the woods, a mile and a half east of St. Mary's, and about four miles from Torro Hauto. The old man is fifty-two yoars of age, and is in the habit of drinking. His occupation is that ot a basket-maker. Yesterday afternoon, while drunk, be had an altercation with bs son John, aged nineteen years, and ordered him to leave the place, as he wanted nothing more to do with him. He said be would go, and started into the house. The old man asked bim why be was going in there. He replied that ho wanted to get bis clothes. He said bo shonld not get them. The boy replied that he would, and be did enter the house. The father followed, began scuffling with him, and pushed the boy over upon the stove, which was hot, burning bis hands. John then went out into the yard, and wag followed by the elder Trader, who brought a shot gun out with him. Johnseizad an ax handle with which to defend himself, and came toward his father. Then, seeing that this would bo dangerous, he turned to leave him. Just as he turned,the father fired, and the whole charge of shot entered the boy's side, just below the ribs, in the region of the stomach, tearing a great hole. Ho fell, bloeding a groat doal.

The man was too drunk to comprohond*very well that he ought to escape, but bis wife took bim back into the woods and pursuaded him to hide himself in a hollow log. He was soon discovered by some neighbors, howover, one ef whom had been piling wood close by and investigated into tho cause of tho shot which he had hoard. Those men took the old man to the house, and there guarded him until Sheriff Hull and Marshal Schmidt, for whom they immediately sent a messengor, arrived and took charge of him. Dr. Morgan was sent for from New Goshen,on the river. Ho did what he could for the boy, but said that he did not

how the boy

could live, as the wound seemed to be necessarily fatal, the whole charge of shot having ponetrated his stomach. Tho boy is rather dolicato, and has not a strong constitution.

Sheriff and Marshall Schmidt arrived about eight o'clock last evening, with their prisoner, and ho was lodged in jail in this city.

Another report says that a woman is the roal cause of the difficulty between the father and son, but the same lacks confirmation

yet.

THE LAST HORROR.

A BBACE OF ACCIDENTS.

Two Hen Severely Injured at the Boiling Mill.

Broken Hands, Mutilated Jaw?, and Lacerated Bodies.

A I-!. THE PARTICULARS.

A couple of most distressing accidents took place Saturday morning at the northern rolling mill, or Wabash Iron Works, of which we have gathered the following particulars:

THE KIRST ACCIDENT

took place at about 9 o'clock. Nick Diedricb, the carpenter of the works, was making some repairs near the pumping engine, when bis left hand became somehow entangled in the machinery. He was taken to the office of Dr. Link, suffering terribly, and bis wounds dressed. It was here found that both central bones of the hand were broken, but it will probably not be necessary to amputate it.

THE SECOND ACCIDENT

was by far tho more serious, and occurred about an hour later, at 11 o'clock. Cornelius Roach, helper at the bar mill heating-furnace, was upon

the roof of the mill, mending the dam per-cbain, whon the chain gave way, and the damper, weighing about 400 pounds, fell down upon the roof, from the top of the smoke stack, broke completely through this iron roof, shivering the timbers which support it, aud fell upon the top of the furnace underneath, carrying the unfortunate man, Roach, with it. He fell head first and struck his mouth full upon an iron projection upon the top of the furnace, knocking four four toeth out, breaking the upper jaw and fearfuffy cutting and mutilating his mouth. Ho was borne to the residence of his brother, Mr. Edward Roach, upon Third street, near by, and his wounds dressed by Dr. Willien. Besides the injuries mentioned, ho was hurt in tho broast and back, but not dangerously, and at the present writing is doing as well as could be expected.

The heater, Ed. Treharn, very narrowly escaped being struck by ae falling damper. As it was, one end of the lever, attacbod to the damper, struck him on tho shoulder, and bruised him considerably.

It is not known just how the damper, which fits like a cap upon the top of tho cliiiHnoy became loosoned so as to fall as it did. In a placo as crowdod with men as this rolling mill is, it is a very fortunate circumstance that no moro woro struck than there were.

Mules, and Things—Mixed. A littlo incident took place last Saturday morning on the Lockport I^oad, about lour miles from town, which, however vexatious and exasperating to the party of the first part, was, nevertheless, quite an amusing one to those parties ot the second part who constituted tho audience. A farmer with a mixed load of produce and a major part of a large family perchod aloft upon It, undertook to cross a crazy old bridge, over a branch at tho placo designated. The planks on that bridgo havo arrangement peculiar to themselves, or rather a lack of arrangement, in some portions, CHO holes largely predomina

ting

ovor tho planks. Tho mules which preceded that team had but eight legs between them, and consequently, when they had tucked each one his four legs into four holes, thero was nothing loft for thom to do but to lie flat and hold on, after the manner of shirts thrown over a clothes line. The way that family slid off the load is said to have eclipsed all the cellar-door performances ever bofore recorded. In fact, the seats of pantaloons and calico Dtisties rainy smoked with the rapid descent. No amount of suasion or boosting, fore or aft, could raise those mules upon their feet again. The problem was only solved by cutting away the planks and letting the inules make the drop into the branch eight foet below. All had now been well, but the wagon thus deserted could stand it no longer, careened to ono side, went off one side of the bridge, and joined tho mules in the branch. It is fair to presume that that good farmer spent the rest of tho day sorting out mules, wagons, and produce. If it wasn't a good day for assorting, wo are inclined to believe that he never finished the job.

AT the township house, in Honey Creek township, on Saturday, the Republican township convontion was held. In the evening a gentleman, whom for the lack of his real, and of a better namo, we will call J«hn Smith, was to lecture. Coming In upon the Republican convontion in the afternoon, and desiring to call the attention of the assembled crowd to his proposed lecture, ho mounted a bench and proceeded to haranguo the meeting. Thinking it would be a good time to say something about politics which would be ploaslng to the crowd, he proceeded to speak upon this subject with commendable zeal, but witb unfortunate results. He misunderstood tho complexion of the meeting, and thinking it to bo a Democratic gathering, delivered some sledge hammer blows at Morton, Hunter, et al What ho would finally have said we do not know, for bis remarks stirred up the bile of his auditors, who, without listening to explanations, and very much to his surprise, put him out of the building with a rush.

The Independents Indifferent. A meeting of those interested in the independent movement, was held at the court house Saturday, for the purpose of choosing delegates to the Independent Mass Convention which meets at Indianapoiis on the 12tb. This meeting was but sliinly attonded, from various causes. Mr. Henry Whiting, acted as Chairman, aud M. Toner, Secretary. The following delegates were then chosen:

MICHAEL LAMB. 1

An Old Citizen Clone* IF *, In Hafflotitm.

In the death of Michael Lamb, which occurred Saturday, Terre Haute has lost one of her best citizens, his family a generous protector, and hosts ot as a tried and trusty friend. The splendid phisiqae of Mr. Lamb seemed destined to wage the unequal contest against death, which we all mast fight, for some time to come, but he, too, now has fallen a prey to the fell destroyer.

Mr. Lamb was a native of Ireland, having been born in the 'county of Monahan, in 1809. In early manhood he come to this country, and located in Terre Haute. He was intimately connected with the system of public improvements in our State, being busily engaged, during its progress, in contracts for the construction of the Wabash A Erie canal. The work performed under bis supervision partook ot the sterling character of the man, and was always well and reliably done up in every particular to the full requirements of tho plans and specifications.

The canal being finished, Mr. Lamb settled down In Terre Haute, and here for many years past be has lived,wearing bis heart upon.hls sleeve, his latchstring always hanging on the outside of his hospitable door, bis life open, guileless and known of all men. At the time of his death, Mr. Lamb was a member of the Council from the Third Ward, a position to which his neighbors and friends insisted upon electing him, not only without any solicitation upon his part, but in opposition to bis protestiag voice.

He leaves a widow and a large and interesting family to mourn the irreparable loss of a beloved husband, and a kind, indulgent, and just father. FUNERAL SERVICES AT sr. JOSEPH'S

CHURCH.

Michael Lamb having been a member of the Sodality of the Sacred Passion of Christ, and of the Aetar Sodality, as well as of the Hibernian Benevolent Society, tho members all turned out to show the last honors to their dead brother, and their respectful sympathy with tho mourning family of deceased.

The miserere was chanted by Rov. Grazini and the choir. Funeral oration by Rev. Father Maurice. High mass and requium by the pastor, Rov. Joseph 3. Lesen, D. D.

The services, we understand, were conducted according to the grand ritual of tho Catholic Church, in every particular, this being dono only when the obsequies are held in tho morning, with requiem and sibera. The deceased, Mr. Lamb, undoubtedly stood high in the estimation of his co-religionists,^CHOOL, to judge from tho solemnity of the church servico, and tho great number of mourners.

DISAPPEAR-

Of J. Andre—No Word for Seven Weeks—All Efforts to Discover Him Unsuccessful.

A Strange Case.

In March last a young man by tho name oi T. J. Andre came to this city and began clerking with Mr. T. H. Riddle, jeweler and milliner of Main street.

He came from

Wausseon, O.,

where he was raised, aud whero his father, Adam Andre, a man of wealth and respectability, now resides. He was a tall, slim, good-looking young man of about 24 years of age, with no whiskers, save a moustache, which he usually wore dyed. While here, bis deportment was most exemplary, and ho won tho osteem of his employer and the regards oi bis fellow clerks. On the morning of the 23d of June, he announced that ho bad just received such news from home as would necessitate bis leaving immediately. Previously to this he bad been talking of going home to spend the Fourth of J.I?y. He accordingly packed bis tiuuk and left, as supposed, upon the 0:30 A. M. train for Logansport. From that timo to this, not a word has been beard of bim or from him. Those who knew him here thought he had gone homo. At home, they wondered wby he did not come. Finally telegrams came making inquiries concerning him, then came letterM. Every means of obtaining a clue to bis fate or present whereabouts, has been tried, but so far invain. It is not known that be bad any considerablo*sum of money witb him, bat as,while

here,beseveral times spoke

to Messrs. Wharton & Riddle of some money which be wished to invest, it is thought be may have bad monoy witb bim. He owns some real estate in Toledo, Ohio, and telegrams have been sent to that place, but with no favorable result as yet. The affair has been kept secret out of regard to tbe family, but now tbat it assumes so serious an aspect tbe more publicity given to it, tbe belter will be the chance of a discovery of tho missing man. It is with a view to such an end tbat it is given to tbe press to day for tho first time. The parents of tbe young inan are, it is said, almost distracted, and it is to be hoped for their sakes, as well as bis, that tie be speedily found, and restored to tbem.

THOS. JACKSON, coal merchant aud flagman of the E. and C. road at the Main street crossing, received, last Friday, an order from Washington, npon tbe paymaster of U. S. Navy for IG0.60. This is the share of prize money due him as Beaman on tbe gunboat Mississippi, wbieb captured tbe rebel boat New Orleans during the war. Better late than never.

STILL A50THEB.

A freshing Machine Lays Bare a 1 Man's Arm.

A Terrible Wound, bnt not Dangerous.

For a day or two past the hands on the farm of Mr. Jacob Butz, on the west side of the river, just this side of Macksville, have been engaged in threshing out wheat. The thresher is owned by three men, of whom Jacob Snack is one. Tuesday morning, about 6 o'clock, just after beginning operations for the day, Snack, in oiling some of the wheels of the machine, accidentally caught bis sleevo in the cogs of ono of the wheels. Unable to extricate himself, the wheel in its revolution drew him up to the machine, and beforo it could be stopped had torn off the entire body of muscle upon the upper Bide of bis arm, or more properly of the humerus. He was taken to bis house, a distance of a quarter of a mile, and Dr. Link summoned. The doctor pronounces it a frightful wound, but one from which there is good prospect of the man's entire recovery. He sewed and bandaged up the arm and loft him at 10 o'clock as comfortable as possiblo uuder the circumstances.

'Rah for Terre Haute.

Possibly everyone is not aware that in the Sunday ScbooJ Convontion, held last week at Logansport, the Terre Hauto Christian Sunday school bore off the banner for excellence,in proportion to numbers, in attendance in chapters read, tho number read being 31,000, and in money contributed. Tho banner, a beautiful silken one, was on exhibition at the Sunday on Mulberry streot, yestorday. NT bears on one side the inscription, "The Banner School of Indiana," and on the other, "The Lord Lovetb tho

Cheerful Giver." Tho school will also have onehundred copio® of a now music book, "Tho Palm of Victory," which eoDBldering their conquest in ANTIBOOINBLAGE of four hundred schools, •, lndoed,appropriate.

Threo Blind Cows.

The popular littlo ditty of "Three blind mice, soo how they run, etc which

seemed to carry away tho youthful Parepa's of our city schools, last winter, should now bo changed to the doleful dirgo of "Threo Blind Cows." Threo, however, would not begin to expross it, for the cows with optical arrangements clawed may now bo counted by scores in Bagdad. It now transpires that the boys aro not tho cause. Some fatal disease soems to have attacked their organs of vision. Mr. J. C. Morgpn has a fine oow totally blind, which no whizzing stono from the nigger-killer ever bit.

stack yard of wheat belonging to Mr. Samuel K. Fitch. Mr. F. "rented from Mr. Weir, and the wheat that was burned belonged to him. It was raised on forty acres, and was unusually fine. Arrangements had been made to thresh it to-day. On Saturday last the steam threshing machine of Eslinger A Proston had been brought into the field and was left standing in tho field, though not in position, next to the STACKS. This morning at 3 o'clock the stacks WERE discovered to bo on fire. No possible human agency could have saved them, though prompt attention did roscue from the llames the threshing machines. It is estimated that there was nearly one thousand bushels of wheat in the stacks, which were completely destroyed. No one was supposed to be at or near the stacks, aud their destruction was, without doubt, the work of some wilful and malicious incendiary, or else of some idle vagabond who slept in them, and by his criminal carelessness destroyed what bo has neither the industry nor the means to replace. The authorities should institute a strict investigation.
