of which it is now clear I did not exaggerate, nor the sorrow and remorse -which I lelt originally on account of the injury which I supposed I had unwillingly done to a beloved family, and afterward for the greater injury which I became satisfied I bad done by my unwise, blind and useless efforts to remedy that injury, only as it proved, at the expense of my own name, the happiness of my own family and the peace of my own church."

In conclusion Mr. Beecher said Qentlemen of theCommittee: In the note requesting your appointment. I asked that you should make a fall investigation of all sources of information. You are witness that I have in no way Influenced or interfered with your proceedings or duties. I have wished the investigation to be so searching that nothing could unsettle its results. I have nothing to gain by any policy of suppression or compromise. For four years I have borne and suffered enough, and I will not go a step farther. I will be free. I will not walk under a rod or yoke. If any man will do me a favor let him tell all be knows now. It is not mine to lay down the law of honor in regard to the use other persons may make of my confidential connections, but in lny own writings concerning tho scandal thoro is not a letter or document which I am afraid to have exhibited,and I authorize and call upon any living person to produce and print forthwith whatever writing they have from any source whatever. It is timo, for tho sake of decency and public morals, that this matter should bo brought to an ond.

It is a pool of corruption, exhaling deadly vapors. For six weeks tho nation have rison and sot down on scandal. Not a great war nor a revolution could more have tilled the newspapers than this question of domestic trouble, magnified a thousond fold and like a sore spot in a human body, drawing to itself every morbid humor in the blood. Whoever is buried with it, it is time that tills abomination bo buried below all touch and powor of recognition.

A roporter has had a brief talk with Theodore Tilton. Ho deniod that he had received any money from Beecher, If Moulton had received the amount stated it devolved upon hjm to account for it. Shortly alter Mrs. Tilton's confession of Boocher's criminality, the sorvant who was then living with Mr. and Mrs. Tilton became aware of it by overhearing conversations which had passed between them, and she began to whisper it to hor frionds in Brooklyn. As soon as this state of things was discovered, it was determined upon to send the girl out of Brooklyn, «H protection to Beecher. She was sent to boarding school, and Beecher paid tho exponses through Moulton. This might have amounted to some 92,000. Several gentlemen contributed to support tho (Jolden Ago, and Boecher, ho said, might have been among tho number, but Moulton could account for that.

NEW YOIIK, August 15 —It is stated in the Brooklyn Eagle that this servant girl business will wear another complexion, when the story of the girl, now in the possession of the Plymouth Church investigating committee, is madcpublic. The allegation is that Tilton, not Beecher, was interested in her removal from Brooklyn. It seems from her statement, now leaking out, that she was an adopted child in Tilton's household, taken when an infant, and always treated as a member of the family. During the absence of Mrs. Tilton, this adopted daughter left the house, and on Mrs. Tilton's retarn, related to her occurrences leading to that act. After awhile the story crept out and Mrs. Tilton was sent by Mr, Tilton to more than one house to deny it, and finally finding it did not die girl was induced by Tilton and Mrs. IiltoiUo sign the statement, denying what were called wicked stories, set 011 foot against Tilton. This retraction was obtained. Tilton had the girl Bent west to school and Francis D. Moulton paid her tuition. This is the girl's own story as she has tol\l it to the committee, to her scluol teach«raad Mr. Shearman. Beecher left lor Peekekill this morning and Mrs. Beecher 8*yn she does not think he will return befort October.

We go partly in the interests of reform, but mostly to receive the benefit which a sea voyage always confers upon us. Our readers will remember that we have been in the field constantly since the convention in Chicago last September, laboring heavily all the while, and we need the absolute cutting away from the turm«il and care that a sea voyage alone can secure to us. Moreover, the

resent aspect of the social question, la' as it is under the stimulus of the convnUions now occuring in Brooklyn, indicates that the harvest time is rapidly approaching when we shall have to go into the field and labor with increased seal and earnestness.. With the heats of summer over, we wish to enter upon the strife that is ultimately to release woman from her bondage with all the faculties of mind and body strong and vigorous. Therefore, during the few weeks that we shall retire from active labor, let it not be thought that our spirits are wearied, or that our hopes are at ebb: but rather that, realizing the needs of the body, and that JLhey. cannot be secured under the intense mental strain which the immediate future would certainly bring, we break away from the scene in order to return again in season for the convention in September, thoroughly invigorated arul conditioned to perform whatever duties the hour may present. Meanwhile, let our friend* continue to send in new names as subscribers, so that the ground work of the grand social structure of the future may be continually broad ened and strengthened.

From the Evening Gazette, 13th. A JEWEL OF A SHARPER.

Takes in a Dangerous Middleman to the Amount of $100. I

Other Attempts Fruitless.

Yesterday was a lively day among the jewelers. One dealer was the unfortunate loser of flOO worth of diamonds, and the fact that it was he, and cot they, made all the others lively. During yesterday forenoon a rather rough looking man, who represented himself as deputised by some Snnday school in Daviess county to purchase a present for ono ef its oClears, called upon all of our jewelers and looked through their stocks of watches and diamonds. His plan seems to have been the same with all. Upeaking of Mr. T. H. Riddle, the Express of this morning says:

He was commissioned, be said, by the members of a Sabbath school there to purchase either a fine ring, a watch, or a pin, which they intended to use as a present to a very popular gentleman connected with the school. One of these three things be was commissioned to purchase. "Now," said he, "they have given me one hundred dollars to make the purchase and if I make it, I want it understood that I am to have the privilege of changing it any time before the 20th. I do not know what will suit them, and I will leave you one -hundred dollars which vou may bold to make yourself safe if and

'write to you, telling you that

it is not what is wanted, you may either send me back the one hundred dollars, minus five dollars, or I will send you five dollars and you may return me the one hundred dollars this will pay you for your trouble." After looking at the ring awhile be said he would go out and como back again in a couple of hours, if he could not lind anything bettor. In two hours ho came back when thore was no one in the store but Mr. Riddle, and said he had concluded to take the ornament. He then banded Mr. Riddle the money in a bunch and told him to count it. Alter it was care fully counted ho replaced it in the express money package envelope, from which he had taken it, sealed it up, and asked Mr. Riddle to give him the pen and ink, that he might write his address upon it. Riddle turned around to get the pen and ink merely turning his back for a second and when he looked again the lellow was standing in the same place, ready ta write. Ho wrote upon the envelope "John Thompson, Washington, Da viess county, Indiana." He then went away, taking the ring along and carry ing with him thsee or four of Mr. Rid die's cards, remarking he would send his friends around if they ever wanted anything. When Mr. Riddle opened the supposed money package later in tho afternoon, be found ten pieceB oi common white paper cut in the shape of bills and not a cent of money.

The result was a little different at Swopo's establishment. After going through the same maneuvres, he paid the $100, but Mr. Swope, instead of leaving him in charge of the express package while he brought the ink,took the package in his own hand and wrote upon it tho direction, and then put it in his safe. Of course the sharp er was prepared for an emergency of this kind, and whon he went out, remarked that it was quite likely that he would be back and forfeit his five dollars on the bargain in the course of half an hour. This, however, he did not do, as he probably got scared away. Mr. Swope consequently has made a good trade.

At Arnold's and S. R. Freeman^1, the presence of clerks, who happened to be watching operations, prevented him from making the same attempt. He called upon J. R. Freeman and upon Frask, but for some reason made no attempts at either of these places. All purties unite in saying that the man played his part of greeny pretty well. Tho same game is said to have

bcon

successfully played recent'^ in Cincinnati. Some or our jewelers are inclined to brieve that Mr. Swope was likewise bled, and say tfiat his story lacks solidity, but we have Mr. Swope's word for it that he has the $100 now in his possession. Mr. Riddle thinks he has a clue which may lead to the discovery of the thief.

Those nreicnea COTTS.

"Light, the prime work of God, to them extinct." The indignation against certain boys who wem supposed to have shot stones into the eyes ot many cows while browsing on weeds and dog-fennel in the southeastern part of the city, thereby causing their total blindness, has at last been abated. The GAZBTTE of yesterday intimated that some diS' ease, unknown to the medical fraternity, was the probable cause, while this morning's Journal thinks it the stagnant water which the COWB, maddened by the pestiferous flies, have splashed into their optics. We have now, however, the real cause. Those boys didn't do the mischief, and might as well return to the bosoms of their families. Mr. Henry Helmcamp this morning brought us a large weed with stiff,short sharp "stickers," profusely distributed perfeotly regardless of expense. The weed is as mean as the Canada thistle, and as common as it is mean. Mr. Helmcamp, with the aid of a microscope, discovered on of these thorns in the eye of a cow belonging to John Lockard. A reporter of the GAZETTE instantly took a branch of the pesky thing to Dr. Ezra Read, the learned botanist, as well as member of the T. H. A. P. M., for analysis. The interview was brief. The doctor declared that it hid no name, that it was too mean to afford one that it possessed no poisoning qualities. It is so common on the hard ground which lines the streets, that the poor cows, in their frantic endeavors to procure sustenance, must unavoidably, sooner or later, get hurt. It is a matter of paramount importance to the blind cows, as the wandering animals must have an eye single to bu^rpss, or starve.

The Fire.

Afire which occurred Thursday night between 2 andS o'clock, was upon the alley between Fifth and Sixth and Walnut and Poplar streets. It broke out in the one story frame stable of Mr. Charles L. Braman, and speedily spread to the adjoining stable of Mr. Egbert Curtis. The Fire Department was quickly upon the spot and the flames soon subdued without the aid of the engines. By means of band hose, the fire was kept from spreading to the adjoiuing houses. Mr. Braman's loss is little or nothing. Mr. Curtis lost a number of valuable oarrier pigeons, which were burned, and which be valued at spme $200. The buildings were owned by Mrs. Harriet Early,and were insured in the Hartford for 91.000, tohich will cover all loss.

It is thought that the fire may have originated with some tramp Vho had crawled into the stable to sleep upon the hay, as these gentlemen have been in the habit of doing so. Great credit is due the fire department for the speedy extinguishment of the fire, which, bad it spread to the house, would have been a very serious one.

THE Express of Friday morning says that Charley Crum and Henry Mclntire were out gunning recently at the five mile pond. They bagged seven snipe and sixteen 'wild docks while wading alter the latter, .a huge water moccasin fastened upon Henry's foot, and wrapped itself around his leg. He mapaged to shake it from him before it could bite him, and then shot its bead off. It measured five feet in length and four inches in thickness. It is-fc. very poisonous reptile, and the ybtitiramcle a- narrow' escape. .i

CATTLE SALE. 111 h*\ fv-as "1st.

,-i.S «,}:Th0 Sattkews Herd. A cotbparatively small crowd was in attendance at the fair ground during the sale of apart of Matthews' herd of short horn cattle. The Bale, which was advertised to begin at 12 o'clock, did not really commence until 1. Col, J. W. Jndy was the auctioneer. The terms of the sale were stated by Col. Jndy, as follows On sums of flOO and over, six months credit on satifactory notes, without interest. A discount of 5 per cent, for cash.

In bis introductory speech, Colonel Judy said that be was in attendance upon the Giles sale at Sullivan, yesterday, and he felt constrained to say that the sale to-day gave abetter prospect. He saw more faces that looked like business, the grounds were better, and the prospect was better. A lecture then followed upon the value of short horn stock in general, and a gratuitous—we suppose it was gratuitous, though it was laid on pretty thick—advertisement of two or three stock and agricultural papers, the representatives of which, between drinks with the Col., were laboring zealously, if not successfully, for subscriptions

The first animal offered was Hazel Queen second. The bidding was slow and spiritless throughout. The highest price brought was $910, the lowest 985 the rest of the herd selling at figures between these limits. The color of the animals was

againBt

them in many in­

stances, and in the case of several there was an uncertainty about the pedigree or with the cows, as to whether they were with calf, proper attention, appar ently, not having been given to their keeping in this respect. The free lunch set in Agricultural Hall by Bruning, the restaurateur, was, It is said, very fine.

NATE MILLER.

An Ex-Terre Haute Bummer Come to Wrlef.

Set Him to Pounding Stone.

In the Police Ccurt, this morning, there was a deplorable exhibition of human depravity. Nate Miller, alias Harvev Miller, alias Harry Miller alias A. Morton Howe, is a youth wel known to street car conductors, on whom he has worn out numerous

Eas

asses to theatrical agents whom he wearied with free list applications to policemen who have become leg' weary hunting him up, and to saloon keepers, who have learned to turn deaf ear to his oft-repeated solicitations for drinks. This morning he was dragged by the ruthless myrmidons of the law, before that dread tribunal, which tne good avoid and the wickec, dread. Poor Harry I His fresh complexion showed no heightened flush of shame no tremor shook his God-like form as he stood unabashed before that uwful presence. Ho listened calmly while the charge was read. The City Attorney addressed him as follows "Harry, you are charged with living idly, without proper and diligent effort to procure employment, being without visible means to maintain yourself and without settled place of abode and with being of vicious character and depraved habits."

His Honor heard the dismal evidence of Officers Flaherty and Wedekin Manager Mitchell, of the Theater Comique, and others, and after the oft repeated tale of lunch grabbings, night wanderings and debaucheries had been told poor Harry was sent back to the crowded quarters oCfeupied by the late arrests, for want of the wherewith to pay a ten dollar fine. Whore are his friends in this, his hour of need ?—[St. Louis Journal, August 8.

MR. T. H. RIDDLE, who w»» victimized of a diamond ring as related in the GAZETTE of Thursday, caused postal oortis with a description of the confidence operator, to be freely distributed around the country, offering suitable rewards, fcc. On Saturday, a telegram wa3 received from Pana, Ills., stating that a man answering the disscription, was then at that town. Mr. Riddle went over to Pana by the first train. The man bore so strong a resemblance to the gentle drover who made way with bis diamonds, that Mr. Riddle was at first confident that it was he, but after some conversation, and a IUUITJ corcful CAntuluatlon xxi

bio

tures, he became assured tbat the fellow was not the man he sought. This man at Pana was not arrested, only watched by the police until ^lr. Riddle's arrival, and probably does not know now that he was shadowed at all. Being an innocent man, his name is not mde public.

AN unknown drunken wrotch came very near being relieved of all his earthly troubles on the E. & C. main track just south of Main street, Satur day night, as the express passenger train went out. He was kneeling di rectly upon the track, with his face bent downwards in his hands. The engineer, Charles Fitsimmon's, happened to see him, and whistled down brakes, and immediately put on also the air brakes. This, however, could not have saved him, as the train was moving quite rapidly. Fitsimmon's, comprehending the 'situation, jumped from the engine, ran ahead of it and snatched the man from the track barely in time to save him. These are tho facts as related by an eye-witness, but we have bad no means of verilying them by the testimony of engineer himself, as the train made no stop.

Attempted Burglary.

Burglars attempted to enter the house of J. H. Hager, on South Fifth street, Monday night. They had ascended an apple tree near the rear part of the house, and from tbat had opened the shutters of a back room. In raising the window, the servants wero aroused and screaming lustily, frightened away his robbership, who made fast down out of the tree, and away from the premises. The family Joeing awakened by the screams of the servant girls, made a search of tho premises, but failed to find either the burglar or any evidences of bis depredations, other than the ladder by which he bad ascended the tree, and which wasstill in position.

NINETY-TWO bead of cattle were sold at the Giles sale of short horns, at Sullivan, last Thursday. The average price was in the neighborhood of 9150, the gross amount received being about 913,000. Twonty-five bulls were sold, bringing an average of $100 a piece. Among the herd were several graded cattle, tho sale of which brought the average down much below what it would have been if the sale bad composed only the thoroughbreds. The herd of Mr. Giles stands higher, we understand, than any other in the State. For purity of breed and many other excellencies it is deservedly popular.

INFANTICIDE.

A Hew Bern Babe is ThreW»Int»« Priry Vault, awl Foaad. After Seven

Dajs. I'''"?* On the 6th of August it Decafoe known to onr police and the Coroner that a girl by the name Betty Davis bad given birth to a child on that day, and that the same had been made way with. In order to follow the cine they had, the details were not given to the press at the time, although something was known of it by all the papers. This Betty Davis had been a servant girl in the family of J. C. Kelley, the ooal man, who lives upon -Mulberry, between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets, whose employ she left on or abont the 6th of August. A watch was pnt upon her, and a search made for the child. A careful search was made of the privy vault upon the premises of Mr. Kelley but nothing discovered. The search was kept up daily, and Thursday the body rose to the surface and was discovered.

A jury was impannelled and a number of witnesses examined, but the testimony is not yet given to the public, for the reason that in the meantime, the girl, Betty Davis, had disappeared, and as little as possible is desired to be made known nntll she is found.

Mrs. Kelly testified In general to the circumstances attending the secret birth.

Delila Moore, a midwife, gave the most important testimony, but the nature of it is unknown.

Dr. Roberts made a post-mortem examination which satisfied him that the child was born alive.

Dr. Mull testified to the same effect The jury returned the following verdict: "We, the jury empannelled to in quire into the cause of the death of the child found in the privy vault, on the premises of Joseph C. Kelley, find, from the evidence, that tne mother of child is one Betty Davis, and that said Betty Da vis caused its death by placing it in the privy vault aforesaid, it having been alive and breathing when born."

Further particulars will be given to the public as soon as the nature of the case will permit.

A DRUNKEN SNAKE-CHARMER

Is Bitten by a Huge Rattlesnake.

He Will Probably Wve.

A teamster by the name of William Lydick, who pretends to be something of a snake charmer, entered the saloon of John Smith, near the I.

A

St. L. de­

pot, Friday, and contrary to the commands of those present, took from tho glass case the large rattlesnake which is on exhibition there. He took tho snake twice from the case, and handled it with impunity, but upon doing so a third time, it bit him upon the left hand, and upon the middle of the right hand. He replaced the snake, but even then was too drunk to be conscious of bis danger. He was immediately given large quantities of whisky and put into a stupor, and Dr, Mann was summoned, who did all that could be done for him. The left hand is swollen some and the right n»nd and arm very mush. about half past 5 P. M., the wounded man was 1 moved to tne residence of his employer, james Armstrong, upon North Sixth-and-a-half street, where he is at present. He suffered much all nigbt, and is still suffering, but Dr. Mann thinks that be will probably live.

Tho suake is in capital health and spirits, and at present writing, feels able, to take care of any number of charmers who may feel inclined to fondle him.

AN ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.

JL Drunkard cuts a Brachial Artery With a Penknife and Will Probably Die.

Sunday afternoon, at about o'clock, livort Evarts, a workman of the Vandalia shops, at the boarding llOOQV ofJftooW Oohloltorbock, on Choot. nut street, near the canal, attempted suicide while under the influence of liquor, by cutting himself in tbe arm, with a knife. He cut three gashes in his right arm, just above the elbow, completely severing the main artery of the arm. He bled freely, and had fainted upon the floor when discovered by other boarders of tho boase. Dr. Peyton was summoned, and afterward Dr Mull. They cut into tbe arm above where the artery was severed and put a ligature about the artery, and thus stopped the flow of blood. The man is alive to-day and able to move abont, but can hardly survive more than a few days, as it is likely tbat mortification or erysipelas will set In before the wound can heal, the ligature be removed and circulation restored Evarts is a man of middle age, a widower with one child nine years old. He has been and is now suffering with delirium tremens.

One Sentiment—Two Heads. A very interesting episode took place in the Buckeye store Friday morn, ing. The chief participants were a young man and young woman from rural parts unknown. While she dickered for calico he sat upon the counter, and ever and anon edged a little nearer. He knew well his game, arid did not miscalculate the distance a quarter of an inch. When h6 arrived at the proper distance, like a flash bis head disappeared beneath that sun-bonnet, and such a report came out upon the startled air as caused every clerk in the establishment to leap just twelve inches perpendicularly. From the manner in which he went about the little job, and the degree of unconcern which she manifested at tbe salute, it is thought he had investigated that sun-bonnet before. It is also safe to presume that he has done so again before tbis time.

A Clinton Difficult/.

An attempt by the Norton Brothers, of this city, to sell liquor at the grange picnic, near Cinton, on Thursday, resulted in a pretty severe fight between the five brothers on the one side, and a couple of constables and their poasea on the other. Considerable clMbing, knocking down, and brandishing of knives was indulged in, but the brothers were eventually overpowered, and taken before a Justice of tbe Peace,and him bound over to appear and

But tbe ubiquitous GAKBTTBBB heard all about it, of course, for what things in heaven or on earth are hidden from bis ken?

Special Service at Centenary. Sunday morning's service at Centenary was of unnsual interest, and of a sacredly festive churucter. A large number of persons wore baptized, and between thirty and forty received into full membership in tbe cbnrcb. At an early hour fair bands had tastefully adorned the altar and pulpit with a collection ot flowers rich in profusion and variety. The sanctuary was cheerful and attractive, and a large congregation attended. All seemed attentive and interested, and it is hoped were profited by the solemn and impressive services of the hour. Tbe large number of accessions cannot fail to add greatly to tbe growing strength ard efficiency ot Centenary. lu the afternoon occurred the funeral Bervices of Will Taylor. Tbe unusually large number present was a noble tribute to a worthy man. Besides the floral decorations above mentioned, two large and beautiful wreaths, presented by friends, and a larg 1 bouquet—this last tbe gift of the Sunday school Infant class and its teacher—lay upon the casket. The serene countenance of tbe dead tbe cheerful evergreens the bright, beautiful, fragrant flowers the comforting words of Scripture, and of the addresses tbe sweet, consoling antheml and songs by the choir and the Sabbath school all tended to relieve, erunaterially, tbe gloom and grief acw^-jly attending upon death.

.v And8U11 HAUVM.

Charley Joab, had a hard time of it last Monday. Late that evening he made his advent into the city, from the west, looking like a man who had just oome in off a campaign against those diabolical Digger Indians. His boots were covered all over with the dust of ages, while his raiment presented the saddest spectacle that could be depicted by tongue, or be delineated by pen. His high hat was covered with clay, as was also bis duck pants, plush vest, and silken whiskers. His symmetrical figure, however, was erect and he held his head aloft as in bis proudest, palmiest days. There is something of a romance to be related in this connection. Charley left for

Fayette township, with hired horse and buggy, early in the morning, to transact a little business be had on hand. Arriving at Durkee's ferry, he failed to find the ferryman, but found instead some mischievous boys on the bank who' called to him to cross the stream. Thinking that he could afford to ford tbe river as well as nay bis fare, even though the ferryman were there, he urged the horses to enter the water. Hardly bad the first wheels made one revolution when the horse was swlmmingstrong against the swift current, the baggy drifting down stream, adding to the equine burden. Charley meanwhile offered up a silent prayer for tho soul of the noble animal, and bung on like grim death to the dead darkey, to the buggy bed, for bis own salvation. Finally the western shore was reached, whereupon Charley returned thanks, accepted the apologies of the bad boys and passed on to pastures new and green. Returning in the afternoon, however, he had another melancholy mishap.

In passing along a precipice, horse, driver and vehicle lost their balanco, and found it at the bottom thereof. In tact they found it too prompt for pleaaure. Though the horse and driver, by decisive action, regained their feet and the embankment the vehicle did not, and Charley found it necessary to walk a mile for assistance, which he found in the person of a Frank Smith. Once more on their pins the party ol the first part started in on the home stretch, Nearing the trestle works on tbe other side of the river, however, the horse halted at the earnest solicitation of a foot-pad, whom Charley Boon saw standing at the animal's head with a revolver in bis hand and a death-like determination in his eye. In an 'Qstant the lithe figure of another highwayman was seated besido J«lm

buggy, toying with his ^*to^

quiring authority.

The fellow then said they

would tal"* the horse. Charley implore3 them not to do that, as the poor animal had been run all day. They then said they would take the buggy. That, too, had been run, and just as hard as tbe horse. Then they certainly would take the watchbut tbat had been run longer than either the horse or buggy, and was so tired it might stop at any time, and then it would bo valueless. Finally the thieves held a council of war, which they changed into a peace conference when they ascertained that their victim was a "ote," and potent to do no barm, and they decided to let him pass this once, telling him, however, that his brother bad once defended one of their pals, and they have not forgotten it. By the way, it was real mean in the boys to cod Charley in that way. But never mind, they will strike Shide some time.

OBITUARY.

Hob. Milton B. Hopkins. The GAZETTE of a few days since, (innnunrod t,h« niftlrness Of the Hon. M. B. Hopkins, at bis home in Eokomo. At that time, thore wa3 nothing serious thought to be the matter with Mr. Hopkins. To-day we are pained to announce the fatal results of that sickness. Mr. Hopkins is dead, having died last nigbt. Deceased was born at Mooresville, Kentucky, the memorable year 1812, and »t 1

a time of bis

death was 62 year* age, though tbe casual observer v. umd have regarded him as not more than 50 years old, notwithstanding the fact tbat be has been a bard laborer, mentally, all bis life. Shortly after his birth, he came to Indiana with his parents, and in early manhood became earnestly identified with its educational interests. First he was a teacher, in the capacity of a Cbristain minister, then as a public school teacher and eventually both at one and the same time. We believe tbat he also studied and practiced law at one time. At tbe organization of the North Western Christian university, at Indianapolis, be became a traveling agent in that interest. Subsequently he acted in the same capacity for the Christian College, at Eureka, Illinois. Afterward he became manager of tbe Howard University, at Kokomo, wbicb place he made bis home from that time until tbe date of his death. In 1862 he was nominated for Superintendent of Public Instruction by the Democracy, but he declined on tbe gronnd of the position of tbat party on tbe leading questions of tbe day. He entertained ideas in advance of the party, and would not be hampered. Subsequently his party became enlightened and he accepted a nomination and was elected, serving most satisfactorily to all concerned.

Tbe school system of Indiana 1B recognized and acknowledged as in an advanced stage of progression. This is owing more largely to the work of Mr. Hopkins than of any other educator. He was-emphatically a practical educator, not a mere theorist. In his death the school system of the State suffers irreparably. Hr. Hopkins was hardly less identified with tbe church than the public schools. Tbe mere announcement of his name in connection with Cbristain service anywhere in the State—or either of the neighboring States—never failed to attract the people, not only of bb own faitb, but those of other denomina* tions, and of no belief at alf. He was pre-eminently a teacher in. and out of tbe pulpit. His memory will long be green in tbe hearts of all who aro interested in tbe intellectual and spiritual development of Indiana. His place in the pulpit and the school room will not be filled though it may be occupied. He leaves as a legacy, however, an almost perfected school system, and a large and a useful family. His wife and five cbiidreasurvive him. The eldest, Alexander C., is professor of mathematics, and bis second son, John, professor of Greek, in the Northwestern Christian University, at Indianapolis. The third son, James, is Professor of Elocution in tbe Kokomo schools. Prof. Yoongblood, bis son-in-law, is Superintendent of tbe pnblle qehoolsin Kokomo. Tbe other surviving child, we believe, is an unmarried daughter, but of this we are not assured. .,

TEE FIEND.

Upon the High aad Banished Heavens He If rites Rain. The thirteen hours between 9 o'clock Tuesday night and 10 next morning, furnished three as nioe items for tbe papers as could be desired three good subjects for tbe lire boys and three very sad and ruinous misfortauw.tp three

THK FIRST.

The fire department bad some lively racing and chasing, on the streets last night, in endeavoring to find the fire, which was subsequently found to be at the ice house owned by Lou. Townsend and Owen Tuller, and situated at the two mile pond, on Third street, north of the cemetery. A large quantity of saw-dust and dry lumber fed a flame which was grandly, although ruinously large. The loss will reach $1,500.

It is said that the flames could be distinctly seen six miles east of town. After every one had gotten over this, and the boys in bed were sweetly dreaming of fire alarms, rapid, galloping rides to "get first water," falling timbers, and such pleasant and exciting events, they were again aroused at 3 o'clock this morning by another alarm. This time they were called to the magnificent saloou and billiard hall of Granville Lowther & Co., on Tippecanoe street, opposite the I. & St. L. depot. No power could save it, and it was almost totally destroyed. Mr. and Mrs. Lowther went a few days ago to Paris, 111., so that no one was sleeping in the building at the time. Tbe fire seems to have originated in tho cellar and burned principally in the back part of tbe building, Reports that a man was consumed in the flames lack confirmation, and, although it must have been the work of an incendiary, no clue can bo found to the perpetrator. The bar-keeper in attendance attompted to telegraph to

Mr. Lowther last night, but the I. A St. L. dispatcher could not receive telegrams, and the down-town office was closed. Mr. Lowther is expected this afternoon at 4 o'clock, and then can be ioundout definitely the extent of the loss. Mr. W. B. Wharton, of Wharton A

Riddle, says that there was $5,000 insurance with them. This will probably cover the loss, although the plao" waa fitted out in the regal style

Delmonico restaurant. Twq.»ia8ul^" cent statues of the Goddes" Liberty, were badlv smashed.

It seems almost useless to toll about this fire, for although it was, more or less, ten miles from town, every man and his mother-in-law were there. Had we conjectured that it was BO far out, we would have telegraphed to our Brazil correspondent to get the Item ior us. About 10 o'clock, tbe aou of Mrs. LeVeque, living on the comer Of Fourteenth and Locust streets, discovered afire in tbe loft of the Btable. In twenty minutes aftorward the fire department was on the ground, but the stable was not. Tbe horse and buggy \iere saved, but about a ton of bay waa destroyed. The barn and wood shed adjoining, also burned, were valued at $1,500, on which there may be $500 insurance. The book and ladder boys were first on tho grounds, and then the boys of hose reel No. 1, who have undoubted right to "first water," It was necessary to use 1,500 leet of hose.

THE new passenger track at Princeton, on the line of tbe E. fc C. R. R., was not completed last Sunday, as announced beforehand in the GAZETTE, and as confidently hoped and expected by the officers. In changing the line to the new grade BO as to avoid the difficulty of an immediate ascending grade, it was necessary, after having altered tbe entire direction of tbe road for two miles, to lower it at tbe depot several feet, and it was impossible to entirely complete tbe job. The straight line running through the freight depot was, however, completed, and Conductor Jim Ferry, the popular man of the E.

C., brought the first passenger

train through. Tho improvement will cost |25,000, and not $10,000, as very erroneously stated in Saturday's GAZETTE.

ONE of tbe city draymen has a horse "as is" a horse, and won't be imposed upon. Yesterday was a hot day, and the streets were dusty. So when a load was put upon the dray, bis horseship, after struggling along with it a few paces, stopped and deliberately turned around to see whether he was not being overworked. Satisfied apparently tbat tbe load was too big, be refused to go any farther, and didn't until apart of it was taken off. He was an interested spectator of the unloading process, and when it bad continued to a satisfactory exent, ot

bis own ac­

cord, he started on contentedly and *»ppy. mw-mi
