WHAT WAS IT?

A FIGHT OR AN ATTEMPT TO ROB. James Adams, who lives at Prarieton, and walked from there this morning, tells a strange story* ,He left hotne a little after 3 o'clock to walk to town. When he was walking along the road, about three miles south of the city, where the road runs by Mr. Hultnan's farm, he heard some one groaning by the 6ide of the road. It was at thct time'quite dark. He found a man lying there, and profusely bleeding. He seemed to have some wound in his breast. He lifted him up, and questioned him. The fellow was in a stupid condition, and said he.had had had a fight, and someone had hit him. He had a jug of whiskev with him. He could not be made to stand up, and, besides being under the influence of liquor, seemed to bo seriouslyhurt. Mr. A. hurried on to town and notified the authorities, but nothing farther has been heard of him.

-RAPE.

Mrs. Allen Socddy Tells in the Court Room how Daa'l. Harpold Committed 1 Rape Upon Her. •.

... Fiom Tuesday's Daily.! PROGRESS OF THE TRIAL. This morning Daniel Harpold was arrested by Constable Miller, on a charge of rape, committed on the person of Mrs, Allen Sncddy, on the night of October 4th, last. '1 he trial came off before Esq. Cookerly this morning, and attracted a crowd that filled the court room to in

The first witness was ^Mrs. A Pen Snoddy. the accuser, who is a very good looking lady. She testified as follows:

On the afternoon of the 4th of October, last I went to the house of the accused to do some washing. Not finishing my work until nearly dark, and being tired, 1 was compelled by the persuasion of the family to stay all night. There are three rooms in the house, one of which was used as a kitchen, another as abed room for Mrs. Harpold's sister, who was staying at the house at the time, and the last, an the sleeeping apartrrents of Mr. Harpold and wife. There being afire in the last named room, it was accounted more comfortable than the rest, and a bed was made for me on the floor, next to the one occupied by the accused. I slept all right until about four o'clock, when Mrs. Harpold, complaining that she was not sleeping comfortably, left the bed and went to the one occupied by her sister. Shortly after her departure, the accused, Daniel Harpold, got up from his bed, and going to the one occupied by me, proceeded to lay himself down next to me. I asked him what he wanted but he said nothing, and commenced taking liberties with me. I resisted and he then said "oh don't fear, it will be all right," and he caught me in his arms, whch made me utterly powerless, and by threats and force accomplished his purpose. He staid in bed with me for nearly an hour, and upon leaving told me if I told any person what he had done, he would do worse things than that to me.

After that night I was sick for nearly a week, he had so successfully accomplished his purpose.

This ended her testimony and the defendant, Daniel Harpold, took the stand. He stated that he knew nothing of what the plaintiff had said and utterly denied having ever got up and out of his bed and going to hers.

The defendant's wife, Mrs. Danl. Harpold, testified that about four o'clock she complained to her hu6 baud of not sleeping well and he told her to go and sleep with her sister. She did so and again woke up about six o'clock and found her husband already dressed and around. This ended the evidence in the case. The attorneys, are MessrR Dunnigan and Lamb tor the defense, and Foley and Taylor for the State. ['J'

After adjourning, the court met again at two o'clock and the attorneys commenced their arguments.

This case has attracted much attention, as the parties are well known, and considered "far above such a thing." The plaintift, Mrs. Allen Snoddy, is the wife of a prominent farmer of Nevins Townsi lip, and is much respected by her neighbors in that locality. She is perhaps twenty-four, and is a good looking woman. She is the mother of one child, which she carried in her arms in the court room. The defendant, Daniel Harpold, also lives in Nevins Township, is a married man and the father of two children. He is a farmer and is considered a pious churchman and utterly uncapable of such a thing, as he is accused of.

The defendant was discharged' by His Honor at three o'clock this afternoon on the ground that the plaintiff's ttory was not probable and could not be believed

Case.

•N ing-.

MM Fr^m th? Indianapolis Journal. The grand jury came into open court, this morning, and by their foreman, Gen. Hascall, reported that the district attorney had received instructions from the President of the United States against piosecnting a certain party lor alleged embezzlement in the First National Bank ot Indianapolis that they have been requested to investigate the matter, and desire to know from the court whether it was their duty to proceed with the case, instructions of the president to the district attorney to the contrary notwithstanding, whereupon Judge Gresham charged them, in substance, as follows:

When you were empanneled at the beginning of the term you swore that you would diligently inquire and true presentment make of such matters as should be given you in charge, or might otherwise come to your knowledge touching violations of the criminal statutes ot the United States that vou would present no one through envy, ftatred or malice, and that you would leave no one unpresented through fear, favor, affection, reward or the hope thereof. You could not, if you would escape the obligation of this oath by heeding the instruction of the president in this particular case. The president may, if he feels so inclined, interfere, even in advance of indictment, by exercising the pardoning power. In no other way has he the slightest authority to control your action. He has it in hi* power to pardon the alleged offender, and unless he is willing to take this responsibility he has no more right to control your action than the czar of Russia. If you believe the president's instructions to the district attorney were intended to prevent you from making the fullest examination into the matter now before you, and from returning an indictment against the accused if the evidence should warrant it, you should feel inspired with additional determination to do your duty. The moment the executive is allowed to control the action of the courts in the administration of criminal justice their independence is gone. It is due the president to say that the court does not believe he has any desiie to encroach upon the judiciary, or that he contem plated any unwarranted interference by his instructions to the district attorney. The district attorney says in open court that he is ready and willing to aid you in any examination of this case which you may teel called upon to make. He and his assistant are faithful officers, and will render you all necessary aid in this as in other cases.

4^ FATHER HITE. To the Editor ot the GAZKTTE: In looking over the Terre Haute Express, of Monday, I read the following pacagraph. included in a notice of the death of Father Hite: "On the morning that news arrived here of the attack on Fort Sumpter, April, 1861, he mounted a dry goods box at the corner of Main and Third streets, and vehemently harangued the multitude present to take up arms as one man in defense of the stars and stripes, and his speech aided much in filling our Vigo county regiments. He was patriotic all over, and was then, as in his younger days, ready to throw all his influence and means on the side of the union, indi visible."

Everything is correct in the above tx cept that it did not occur on the morning that the iv:ws of the firing on Fort Sump ter reached this city. Every one that remembers the facts knows that South Carolina had threatened from day to day to fire on Fort Sumpter, but the exciting news that she had done so was not generally known here, until the morning of the day of April, 1S61, which was Sunday morning! The writer of this on that eventful morning, met, on the steps of the Congregational church the present secretary of the navy, who then attended chutch there, and he enquired of him what he thought of the news from South Carolina? The answer of Col. Thompson was "terrible! terrible!!"

Mushrooms are abundant in maiket. This is a very delicious vegetable, or more properly speaking, fungi, and is every year coming into more general use. it has long been considered a great delicacy by the French, and on the continent generally. It is also largely cultivated in some parts of England. The flavor is agreeable to almost all tastes, and as it is easily raised and prepared tor food, there is no reason why It should not come into general use. Many people have a horror of mushrooms, fearing poison. There are really but tew kinds of fungi that are poisonous,and these are easily distinguished.

THE SUGARS WE EAT.

Intelligent Opinions on cliarine Adulteratlons.,

Sac

The Introdaetioa of filacose in Syrup and Sugars—How Refined Grades can be Sold Cheaper Than tho Raw Material.

Fron the Indianapolis Jonrnal. The oft-repeated and partially proved charges of adulteration in the 'manufacture of sugars are creating something of a sensation "on the street." Wholesale merchants have kn«wa for a long time that a species of fraud has: been practiced on the public by sugar refiners, but they have not felt called up to protest, standing, as they do, in the attitude of "middlemen", to use an expression of grangerial coinage. It has not been to their interest to raise a rumpus which must, of necessity, cut into their revenues to some extent. They .will talk, however, and in a series of interviews with representatives of South Meridian street grocery houses, Journal reporters obtained a store of valuable information on the subject, which is "boiled down for presentation.

One of the gentlemen, who had been a dealer in sugars for twenty-five years, and who has made the question a study, says that a quiet revolution has been going on in the business for several years. In the first place, Congress was manipulated in the interests of American refiners, and laws were passed by which the importation of high grades of sugars was made unprofitable. Gradually the trade with Cuba, Brazil, and dther foreign markets fell oft until very little but raw gredw of sugar are imported. This stock passes directly intp the hands of refiners, and is by them prepared for the market. The raw suears are started from the top of the refineries, and that drawn off at each successive step towards the cellar is graded and marked according to the standard adopted by each house.

No two houses have the same process of refining, and each establishment guards its secret with the utmost vigilance. The trade knows but little about the processes except in a general way. They know that certain chemicals are used in purifying and clarifying the sugars, and they know that bone dust is also an important ingredient. Just how mutfh of this latter substance is contained in a pound of the average sugars may be algebraically designated as "an unknown quantity." An expert by simply tasting can tell in a minute whether or not sugar is pure. The acids and bone dust leave traces ot their presence in ihe saccharine substance which can be detected readily by a iittle practice. The "farewell" is not agreeable, and an unpleasant Uste lingers in the mouth after melting a lump on the tongue and swallowing.

Then again, as an evidence that the sugars fii greatest demand are adulterated, it is only necessary to refer to the price list. The intermediate grades ot refined sugars can be bought for less money than the raw sugar before it ever sees a refinery. The material that is used in adulteration most commonly is "grape sugar," a starch-like substance made from corn. In liquid form it takes the name of "glucose,"'and is used in reducing ayrups. Glucose is nearly colorless, and is insipid to the taste, it looks pretty to the eye, and when it reaches the consistency pours from the mouth ot a can in an unbroken volume like the purest syrup. A prime article of table eyrup commands from 40 to 55 cents per gallon on the market (wholesale.) In view of the fact that raw sugar is worth 6% @7% cents per pound, and that twelve pounds of sugar should go to make a gallon of syrup, these quotations will naturally occasion surprise, and suspicion of crookedness springs up in the breast of the most guileless consumer whose attention is called to the phenomenon in prices. Manifestly, then, refining does not always refine.

Grape sugar is quoted at from four and a half to five cents per pound, and the principal manufactories are in Buffalo New York. Thousands of barrels oft ie stuff are shipped weekly to New York and other eastern refining points. Grape sugar is simply glucose ir. a solid form with perhaps some other substance of equal value. It is nearly as nutritious as chips, but its friends say it ii harmless. However, on this point there is a difference of opinion, and it is claimed on the other hand that it produces disease of the kidneys in the course of time. Be this as it may, it is safe to say that the stuff is not a benefit to any one excepting the re finer, whose profits are greatiy increased in cousequence of the utilization of the 'rew dibcovejy." as it has been called. Within the past two or three ears the manufacture of grape sugar and glucose has been greatly increased, and several establishments have sgrung up in the west as well as in the east.

It seemed to be the opinion of the gentlemen whuse views were sought that there is really no pure sugar on the ,ark«t excepting the very lightest grades and raw sugars, and no syrup whose purify could be recommended excepting that which comes from the Southern market, which it is cheaper to make a pure article than to resort to adulteration. The easiest way to purify the ma'iet of worse than worthless grades of sugars would, in the estimation of some the merchants, be-to reduce the tariff refined sugar and give the West Indian refiners a chance to enter into competition on American soil with their American brethren.

Apart of the evidence taken before the 6ub-committee of the Committee of Ways and Means of the House of Rep resentatives to investigate the charges of sugar frauds has been publibhed in pamphlet form. Advance copies of the pamphlet were received by a few of the wholesale merchants of this city, Saturday. The testimony of eight refiners is given, and many of the details of the business are presented. In this connec tion it might be well to eay that charges of adulteration in candies are also general, and it is asserted that glucose has .become one of the principal ingredients in the manufacture of modern confections.

THE SWINE HERD OF TERRE HAUTE. It is a third of a century since I had residence on Eagle street, not far from the present Normal School building, had neighbors who kept 15 to 25 nogs each. Their foraging ground was the streets and the gardens. Sidewalks were rendered absolutely unfit to walk upon, because of hog manure, and hog pedestri ans. Cows innumerable roamed at large. Terre Haute then was a beautiful city, or claimed to be o£ about 3,000 inhabi tants. It would not have been well for a new- comer to slandfer the place by call ing it a dirty, filthy cow and hog pasture. Time has passed and the city has grown to be a city of 25,000.

Sixth street has been improved greatly. The City Fathers have worked slow, but sure. Every new council and administration has extinguished itself, by some movement in the right direction. Sidewalks were first ordered to be improved with gravel. Then the gravel was ordered to be removed, and brick eight feet wide to be laid. Then came an order to widen out to twelve feet and place plank curbing, leaving four feet of grass plat, on the side next the, gutters. Sidewalks were then good, but trie street crossings were horribly muddy at times.

After enduring for five or six years this half-way improvement, the present city council has astonished the ladies and business men by causine to be laid across many of the streets stone flagging, single file. It would have coat, not double, nor more than one-fifth more, to have laid a double walk. But no matter if no quarrels occur between the ladies and gentlemen which shall cross first. And yet, a serious question arises, where, in case a gentleman and lady, going in opposite directions meet half wav on a crossing, which should jump off for the other to pass? It could be decided in several ways 1. The council might order a policeman to stand at each crossing and watch The one who started first to cross, would be entitled to the right of way. This mode would preserve intact the gallantry of the gent, in case he first commenced the passage. There se^nu to be in this mode equity, and a full vindication of the council from any unnecessary extravagance in street im provements. I would suggest however, in order to define the respective rights of male and female pedestrians in such cas es, that a clear and well defined ordinance be enacted, and that the stationed police officers be required to read it twice or three times a day, in aloud and clear voice, at each street crossing. This disposed of, the next thing in order for the council to do, is to pass an order that every tax payer shall do his part in feed ing the tramp«. Let it be done equitably so that the man who pays the highest taxes, shall keep the largest number of tramps. This policy will save the hard working mechanics pnd farm ers from any unequal burdens. And this leads me to the vexations problem of1 how to get rid of the hogs. The city council never can solve it unaided by the tramps. Let the order to be passed that evlry family shall do its part in feeding the tramps, state also, that all the offal, garbage, dead chickens, and decayed apple* and fruit, shall be withheld from the hogs and given to the tramps. This policy would at once be the means of starving all the hogs to death, and thereby relieve the council from so much undue censure in permitting hogs to run at large.
