DR. SUMPTER.

A Much Married Man—His Manners.

A Sad Case of Desertion And a Bad Piece ofBusiness Generally.

Ie Lcaret a Wife liere And Marrie« Another in Texas.

OB last Saturday the GAZETTK published an article from the Dallas (Texas) Commercial, relating to the doitgs of one Dr. W. H. Sumpter, who had left a wife in Terrc Haute and raairied another in Texa*. Dr. Sumpter left here about a year ago, going to Texas, as he stated to his wife, to buy some land, with a view of making that state his future heme.

fYVhen

he was

well settled he expected to write for his wife and have her join him there. After he left he wrote to her regularly, and each and everv one of his letters was very kind and affectionate in tone, such as one would have expected from a good husband to an excellent wile. His letters were introduced with a plentiful use of^such tnJearing adjectives as "good," "kind," "affectionate," "loving," all applied to and descriptive of his estimate of the wife whom he was addressing.

Last August hs wrote a letter stating that he was going out on a long ride into the Indian country to look after some land. Tliis was his last letter.

After the lapse of several weeks his wife grew uneasy at not hearing from him. Each week added to her anxiety, as time pissed, and nothing was heard irom him. By December thi-i suspense became unbearable. She feared that sjme calamity had befallen him He might be sick or in want, needing her ministrations, an.l in this event she .determined to go to him. It might be that he waj filling a neglected grave. Procuring the names of the proprietors of drug stores there she wrote to one of them inquiring of the whereab,ut«of ner husband. That letter has been to the reporter of the Dallas Commercial, and by him published, tojjethe*- with the statement that Dr. Sumpter had palmed himself off on the community as a single man, and had, a little while before na&fried a woman ^ere. F. 1 {J

Since the publication of that article in the GAZEITK Mrs. Sumpter has been seen. She is a worthy woman altogether unJeserving of such brutal treatment by her recreant husband. Dr. Sump er was her second husband, and she was married to him in St. Louis in 1862. She has lived with him ever sincc. She had two children before she married him, but has had none sincc. Her children are living here with her, one of thein, the daughter, being married to a very worthy citizen.

Mr?. Sumpter a few days ago received the following, letter which explains itself, and adds to the yuilt of this disreeptcttible fellow who has deserted her in such a -shameless manner

Dallas, Texas, Jan. 31, 187S.

Dear MadamSeeing your letter in the paper 1 thonght it my duty to write ycu.* My mother and sister and myself are keeping a boarding housa in Dallas, Texas. On the 1.2th of August last a heavy sat, reddish complexioued, bald headed, long red beard, large blue eyes, low in stature, gentlemanly man, came to our house, tailing himself Dr. Sumpter. My sister being sickly, my mother's time was taken up attending to her. I was left to look after him. That makes me remember him so well. He stayed at our houe until he got married on the 13th of September. This man, Dr. Sumpter, took a great no ion to my sister, a very good young girl. He told my mother he would like to marry my lister. Mv mother told him she could not think of such a thing, and my sister would not hear of it she did not like him. Weil, this gent stayed on at the house, then started out for Denton county and Young county. When he came back he 6aid he had bought forty acres of land in Denton county, but thought he would settle in-Young county. He left an old black trunk and a rather laig* valise. or small hand trfink in our care. I think he had a little black valise that he took with him full of medicine he had an old medicine case that I seen, but'I •aw no saddle-bags, no pony. He had something in the little trunk that he said must be thrown out in crs of fire. The medicine he peddled was called the Swiss Ague Cure. When he came back from Denton, he did not come to our house to board, but stopped down town, but came up every day went to the train every day said he was looking for some one. One day he said to me he would like to get married. Did I know any one, said he, who would like to settle down in Texas. He thought with a careful wife, he could get rich. I told him no, I did not know any one. He said, would I look out for a "lady for him. The next Sunday the doctor came up, just afier he carne in, two or three ladie9 came in. One was a widow, a very fine woman, and a good woman, named Welch. He took a notion to thi9 woman. I told mamma to ask him how she would do for that lady he told me to look for. He said she would do he liked her looks very well. After he had staited to go, he came back, said Mr9. English would not tell that lady I would like to be more acqainted With her tell her I want a wife. I told her. She said she would see him on Monday, which she did. What they said, I don't know. They met every day. He would come up every day to see her. On ThursJay they were to be married. She did not like to trust him all the time. She thought it was her team and farm he wanted. They was to start out west on Saturday, but they did not ^o. She could not get the money for their teem she had 9old Mr. Feland, the family Mrs. Welch wa6 stopping with, S« Mrs Welch took her husbana to Mr. Feland's to wait and get the money. I think they staid there some ten days. When they look the notion to go and keep house, and for him to practice, and she to take boarders, They often came to see us. I could 6ee the ruse of his bargain. One day when I was up to see them, I saw him writing a letter "home" he said. I heand him talk of a sister very much, of a very fine cow she has, and about some stock his father was going to give him if he should like Texas and settle down. I heard him speak also of a family in Indiana, by the name of Beecraft. I never heard him speak of any land in the Indian country. Mrs. Sumpter, no white man owns any land where the Indians live. I heard him speak of being ia Austin 1 'i 1 iv ''3'

looking for some land. Mrs. Sumpter, I do not think this man was your husband. I hope not. One thing jou will know him by.is he had *n impediment in his speech If this proves to be your faithless husband, you have sincere sympathy, for I saw this Dr Sumpter married to Mrs. Welch on the 13th of September. I saw and signed the marriage certificate Write me, and let me know if this is the same man anything I can do for you 1 will do to find him out. Shs has a farm in Missouri. They left here for Sherman, 84 miles from here. I am truly yours.

Address, MRS. R. M. ENGLISH, Dallas, Texas. Dr. Sumpter was a great lover of strong coffee. He said his father was an Englishman, his mother a French woman. He said he had a step-mother since he is a little boy.

P. S. Mr. Sumpter wore a linen suit, one dark frock coat with long sairts, and brown hat. M. M. E.

It should be added that information has been given in the proper quarters which will probably secure his indictment for bigamy and pro/npt and severe punishment.

There is no reaeon to doubt that the woman whom he married in Texas is thoroughly respectable and so a deeply injured pers n. The GAZETTE will watch the case with interest.

THE POST OFFICE

i'he moit prominent feature of a community of citizens in this country is the postoffice, a place of interest to all who reside in its vicinity, and a building visited by all more often than Any other Within the paat few years the general government has spent large sums of money in this popular and highly useful branrh of its service, putting up new buildings in all the principal cities east and west, many of the edifices being grand palaces costing miijiorw. Alterations and increated imprpvements in nearly a 1 of the many leased- offices have also been made. The postoffice in this city was built lor occupancy as a postoffice, and was completed and occupied for mail purposes about nine years ago, on a lease effected by the government with the owner, Mr. Bench, for eight years, with the privilege of eight more, if desired, making a total of sixteen years.

The ei h"t years' lease expired last year, and the government agent decide.] to continue the office in the same location, as per provision in the terms of the lease, provided the owner would make some improvements and alterations, which the increase of business and population of Terre Haute has made necessary, and for the better accommodation of the inCreased postal force. To this reauirement of the government, the owner assented, and plans were immediately prepared under the ad/ice of the postmaster, and work was promptly commenced last spring An addition of two stories hcighih was built on the rear twenty feet deep by thirty-five feet in width a large arch«ay was cut between the olJ and new apartments, several windows were walled up, and new ones cut, a large fire proof iron vaulr of latest pattern was walled in foa tae safe keeping of valuablec and records, and the entire arrangemen of 1 he office back of the line of the box delivery was altered completely. The money ^rder and registered letter de partment was changed to the north side Ne\/ and neatly arranged counters and glass screens built, and a handsome railing put up to divide this office from the rest of the room.

Ou the south side is now the postmaster's office. The visitor enters by a handsome door to a neat lobby, carpeted and railed off from the rest of the room i'nis is supplied with desks for the asHistanf posi-master. Off of this opens a door to the postmaster's private office, very cosy, handsome apartment, neatly carpeted and furnished with cabinet table, library case, pictures, easy chairs, &c.

The delivery department remains essentially urn-hanged, and a passage now leads direct between the money order department and the entrance of the lobby to the mailing room in the new addition. This room is large, light and arranged in the most complete manner to the entire satisfaction of all the post office assistants who are unanimous with all visitors who are acquainted with postoffice work, in pronouncing it one of the mo.it complete post-offices in the west, unexcelled for convenience and arrange ment by any in the state, not excepting the office at Indianapolis, which, although it is larger, is not more complete. In this room has just been completed a new mailing ca»e with 54 b"xes, which is the special admiration and pride of ail the postal torce. It is circular in form and so arranged that a mail bag can be hung on hooks in th« tear of each box, and by opening a little grated door, the ma.l falls into the bag. The case ia very neat in finish and perfect for its use.

There are now twenty,-six mails made up and dispatched fiorn this

5

office every twenty-four

hours requiring the services of eight assistants in addition to the post master. The work goes on day and night.

Of th force here the post-master, Mr. N. Filbeck, has held the office for five years being now on his second term of four years.

Mr. Will Arnold, the assistant postmaster, has been connected with the office for about sixteen years past, which of itself speaks of his pularity sftid fitness, without further comment.

Mr. GufArn, the mo.iey order and registered letter clerk, has befen connected with the office for about fourteen years excepting for a short time when he took a position in the post-office at Vicksburg, Miss

Messrs. George Thomas and Charles Turk, the mailing clerks, have been there for years. Mr. Turk has been in service nearly six years, and Mr. Thomas about four years. They relieve each other night and day, and have, perhaps, the most laborious and complicated department of the office^ The two box clerks, Mr. Andrew Geyman—"Little Andy"—and Mr. Wm. St. Clair, are the best known to the public, as it is with them all who have boxes always meet there. They have 1,500 boaes in charge, besides other details that require close attention, and can find any one of them in the dark, so familiar are they with the office. Andy has been in steady service about four years, and Mr. St. Clair about three years. The delivery clerk, Wm. Markle, has been there about a year, The eighth on the force i^Dave Kifner, the porter, with a servicerof about two years. He is one that cannot be dispensed with.

The office is most efficiently manned and our citizens all express satisfaction with its accomodating employees, and

1. If rttfui

THE TERRE HAUTE WEEKLY

the postal authorities all express satisfac tion with its management. The cost of the late changes and addition? nmounts to between two and three thousand dollars, but it gives us a postoffice not excelled for convenience, reflecting credit on Mr. Beach, the owner, and upon the postmaster for the study exhibited in the arrangement. The work was all done by Mr. T. Snapp the contractor, under the personal charge 01 James Haynes, who has displayed much mechanical taste and skill in the design and neat finish.

NEW POST OFFICE REGULATIONS.

JBY KBAFCO.I

There are some people who do not know how to properly transact business with the Postmaster. For the guidance of such, the Po6t Office Department has issued ihe following regulations, carefully prepared and arranged by Nrafug: lfyou want to *tamp a letter go to the wrong window first. When told "to step to the next window for stamps," grumble and "wander why you can't get 'em there just as well" After you get the s'amp throw down your letter, and ask the P.M., to "lick and stick" it for you. Should he happen to be busy at the time, and riot comply instantly, ask him what he N there for. Don'i attem to pay for it until you have safely deposited it in the letter box. and then should you happen to have nothing less than a dollar, tell him to charge it it's only three cents anyhow. If he has a due letter for yon, ask to see it, take it and walk off, with the request that he "make a memoranda of that." Should you be the happy parent of 14 or 17 children, send one of them to the office every fifteen minutes, to ask for leters for the entire family. Tell the clerk beforehand, however, not to give your indi vidual mail to any one but yourself fo when 7 or 11 of the children come home, and they all tell you there is a letter there but the clerk wouldn't give it to them you get mad and start for the post office, with the firm determination of building a smoke house over that clerk's eve. Be 6iire to ask for your entire neighborhood every time you call By all means do this when there is a large crowd (waiting their turn) at the delivery, and you see the clerk is busiest. It iru'kes him feel so good to see you there the waiting crowd will also look upon you kindly and affectionately. Go to the office at least six or eight times a day, th ugh there is but one mail per day to arrive. Should you be blessed with tr.e nncornmon name of Smith, si'nply a*k, "is there anything for Smith? Never dei^n to give th«» name in fall 'tis such a rare unusual name. If there is anvthtng at all for Smith, of couse it is you, and you want it. Should the clerk have the impertinence to ask what Smith? or give the lull name, please? jist sav •'any of that name," or ask him to read off the Smith letters and you wi 1 tell him which you'll take. Whenever you ge a ettet be suie and ask if that is all Postma-ters never give anybody mnre than one a day, unltss you ask for more

If the hour for c'osiog the mail he 10 m., and you have many letters to eend off, don't mail them during the day wa:-t 'till about 9:55, then tak,e them and rush frantically to ih office, call the clerk to the door, hand them to him (a letter never goes in haste unless you hand it to the P. M, a the clerk,) and say evert one of these letters (if there 50 of them) are of the utmost importance ana must go with this mail. He always has so muci leisure time just then »o make up a second edition of mail, and will always let a hundred other letters lay over unt'l next mail for the sake of accomodating you.

Ifyou want to register a letter, go have it attended toju^t as the mail to corrfing in, and you see that all hands are busy assorting it, or wait until about five minutes before the mail is to be closed, and then become highly indignant when told you are too '.ate to get it off by that mail. Insist that it must go, that the wel'.fareof the entire nation depends upon its going off by that mail. "Of corse" he can do it, you know it only requires a quarter of a second to make up a registered package. Always write "in hasle" on the letters you mail, put it on the upper right hand corner of the enveloye. Be very particular write this on the letters tha*. you fail to prepay, it expedates their transmission to the dead letter office very much. Always put the stamp over some some part of address, it looks better, and is sure -not to be overlooked by the P. M.

Drop a letter occasionally without any address, and use match and other revenue stamps frequently in place of postage stamps, else the clerks at the dead letter office will run short of work.

If you have nothing to do during the day, don't trouble yourself to call at the office until About ten minutes after it is closed forthe day, then poundand kick the door for a half an hour, and wonder why he could not not keep open an hour longer, knowing thai you had not called during the day for your letters, talking loudly on such occasipns apd making all possible noise the P. M. likes it, the clerks like it it i* music to their ears, familiar, perhaps, and it tends to promote kindly fellings between you.

Ifvou have a lock-box never carry the key with you, always leave it "at home" or in your "other vest," the P. never expected you to make use ot the key when he rented the box to you.

Never consult a newspaper for the time tables of the arrival and degjrture of mails, else you would not hky$ -to ask the usual question "when does the 'eight o' clock mail train leave."", •$! ——-—:—su-iii «,W*, -. ..V

.THE WABASH RAII.WA1, With the internal operation of railroad companies the State Register has no concern, but the external operations of railroads are matters w!iich affect every citizen, and which are, therefore, proper subjects of discussion. There is 10 doubt that the producing interests ot the state are obliged to pay tribute to the transportation companies and now that transportation is as legitimate business as production, both production and transportation ought to We free from governmental interference, and each being free, will find its greatest profit and will reach its highest development.

It is in consonance with these ideas that we ca'.l attention to the Wabash Railway, as offering advantages to the producers of Central Illinois, which no other transportation company is able to offer. The branches of this line tap the grain and meat producing section of the Mississipi Valley at Burlington, Peoria Keokuk, Warsaw, Quincy, Hannibal and St. Louis, All these are importan points of concentration, and these branch lines strike the main line at Decatur, and finally at Lafayette, in the grand plan 1 moving western products to eastern markets.

It is, however, as an Illinois railway that the Wabash is of special interest to our readers. Its main line runs through the great farming counties of the state, and with its branches, gives the produce of Central Illinois a direct eastern outlet, without obliging it to pay tribute to Cnicago stock yards, elevators, commission dealers, or the celebrated corner operators there. The advantages of this lne ire very great, and its increasing business shows they are full appreciated, During the late strike its bu.iness was less interrupted than that of any of the great through lines, for the reason that its employes are liberally treated, and because, also, the management did not attempt to punish employes or patrons, by needlessly stopping transit.
