LETTER FROM OLD GUAR*.

To the Kditor of the Gazette: Your ink slinger is .here, looking one— that it upon our Sol on s, for truly we have such. The present body has nearla measured its day and with its end, as body, the majority of the individuals will be heard of no more in our Legislative halls. It is true that many of them have sought tt set their sails for the Governo's chair or a seat in Congress, but they have been weighed in the balance and found wanting, and so will go home and be "supremely" left, to sink into obscuity. While such is the case with many, there are others who have won golden honors and among these, none stands higher and nobler than Lieutenant Governor Gray. His tnanlv bearing, his courteous demeanor and his acknowledge fairness, mark him as the coming Democratic candidate for governor in 18S0. This is conceded on all sides.

They tell a good joke on Representa tives Humphreys and Briggs—our Briggs of the ambrosial locks—that during the last campaign, they canvassed Green and Sullivan counties, pleding their const itutants, that among other reforms which they would bring about for the dear people, would be to so amend the dog law, so as to tax them—the dogs—advalorum. And now they are accused of going back on their pledge.

Senator F.J. Wood of Lake county, formerly a Terre Haute boy stands high as a member of that body. Having sprung from the people he knows their wants and stands by them. A bright future is before him. The Fee and Salary bill is the absorbing topic. The House bill as it passed that body don't meet with much favor from Senators. It will come up before the Senate this P. M. It is supposed that there will not be an extra session. The Democratic members dread it and will do all they can to prevent it Senator O. P. Davis has been voting with the Democrats on several important measures lately and deserves much praise.

Some Interesting Facts in the Ca*e.

From Thursday'sDaily.

The GAZETTE has kept its readers constantly well informed in all the evidence in the great railroad wreckers' trial of Knight and Jackman. Below are presented the affidavits filed by Messrs. Buff & Beecher, counsel for the plaintiffs for a new trial: Inthe VigoCrim-) STATE OF INDIANA

inal Circuit Court February term, 1879.

VIGO COUNTY. STATE OF INDIANA, •vs. GF.ORGE (ACKMAN I AND

Motion for a new trial.

JAMBS KNIGHT.

Cotne now the defendants, Geo. Jackman and James Knight, and jointly and severally move the court for a new trial in this cause and in support thereof, assign the reasons following, to-wit:

First, That the verdict of the jury is contiary to the law, and is not supported by the evidence.

Second, Misconduct of James Conoway. one of the juror*, in this, to wit: That when the said juror was called to serve on the jury, he was with other members of the panel examined under oath as to his qualifications and competency, and answered that he had neither formed nor expressed an opinion as to the guilt or innocence of these defendants, when in truth and in fact, the tiaid James Conoway had both formed and expressed an opinion adversely to these defendants. That the said James Conoway being further interrogated as to his competency, was asked whether he had attended the trial of Oliver Wilson, in December, 1879, who was charged with the commission of the same crime for which these defendant* were then placed upon trial, to which question the said James Conoway then and there answered that he had not ttended the said trial and had not heard any of the evidence in the said case, when in truth and in fact the said juror had attended the said trial of Oliver Wilson and had heard much of the evidence in said case. That the defendants herein, in reliance upon the answers of said juror and in ignorance of the fact that he had so formed and expressed an opinion and in ignorance of the fact that he had »o attended the trial and heard the evidence in said trial of the said Oliyer W ilson, accepted the said juror as competent to try said case, all of which matters will more fully appear by the affidavits and sworn statements exhibited herewith of N. G. Buff, Esq., Geo. Kruzan, Ebenezer Doan, Adam R. Wibel, Emma Kruzan, Robt. L. Smith, Geo. Jackman, James Knight, Wm. Mack and S. M. Beecher, whicii said affidavits and statements are filed herewith and made a part of this: motion.

Third.—Because of an error of the court occurring in the trial. First, in admitting improper and incompetent evidence, a* shown ly the bill of exception® exhibited herewith and hereof made a part. Second, in excluding proper and competent evidence offered by the defendants, as shown by the bill of exceptions exhibited herewith and and made a part of this motion. Third, in giving in charge to the jury upon the court's own motion instructions as shown by the bill of exceptions and made a part o'fthis motion.

Fourth—The misconduct of the prevailing party, to-wit: the attorneys for the state in this, to-wit:

First—That the attorneys for the state made improper suggestions, remarks and comments in offering evidence which was excluded by the court as shown by the affidavits of George Jackman, Wm. C. Rialey, Jas. Knight, N. G. Buff, Frank C. Danaldson and Jas. C. Hicks, filed herewith.

Second, In that the counsel for the state, in the opening argument, made improper observations and illegal arguments, as shown by affidavits filed herewith as a part hereof.

Third, That the evidence does not sustain the verdict when defendants pray a new trial.

N. G. BUFF,

... At'ty for defendants. The affidavits of Jackman and Knight charge that in his arguments the Hon. Bayless Hannasaid that the verdict of he jury acquitting Oliver Wilaon declared these deft's to be the guilty parties' and that the verdict was a record of the coutr.

Their affidavits are very extensive and go through the remarks and comments of the attorneys for prosecution substantially as objected to at the time of the trial by the defendants' counsel The affidavit »f Mr. N. G. Buff is substantially the same as that ot Jackman and Knight.

The affidavits of Wm. C. Risley, C. Danaldson, and John C. Hicks go over'exactly the same ground and in the same words as used by the previous deponents.

In his affidavit, Geo. W. Kruzan says in substance: Am acquainted with James, Conoway, who sat in the jury in the trial of Jackman and Knight. Was present at different times during the trial of Oliver Wilson, in December, and saw James Conoway there, and had been told in a conversation with C. that he believed Jackman and Knight were the guilty parties.

Ebenezer Doan also swears to seeing Conoway at the trial of Wilson and to hearing him say he believed Jackman and Knight were the guilty parties.

Adam R. Wible swears that sometime after the trial of Oliver Wilson he was at the house of James Conoway and heard him say while speaking of the arrest of Jackman and Knight that he believed to be the guilty parties.

Emma Kruzan on her oath says

-^y\

she took dinner in company with others at the house of James Conowav jn the Sunday before Christmas iS^S.wi^d he^rd him say to Andy Brown losft he thought Jackman and Knigh*. were guilty.

Robt. L. Smith deposes and says that on the day before the administrators sale of the Bundy property he met James Conoway who said he had been up to hear the trial of Wilson and was satisfied Knight and Jackman were the criminals.

Jackman and Knight swear that they were present when James Conoway was interrogated as to his competency to serve in the jury, and that he said he had not heard the evidence in th Wilson trial. Some further affidavits of lesser importance are also filed and made apart of the motion. The court has given the attorneys for the State until Saturday to file

COUNTER AFFIDAVITS.

They will establish by a large number of witnesses the reputation of James Conoway for truth and veracity. They will also present the affidavit of Mr. Tully D. Simmons who swears he was on the jurv box when Mr. James Conoway was examined and heard him say he had not listened to the Wilson trial except the speech of Mr. Mack.

When they are properly filed the GAZETTE will publish these affidavits also, either entire or in substance.

The case wiH be argued next week.

TERRIBLE WRECK. From Wednesday's Daily.

Last night, shortly after ten o'clock, a dispatch was received from Conductor Yank Hibbard, in charge of Vandalia passenger train number six, announcing a terrible accident to the train at Venice, a mile and a half east of East St. Louis, in which Engineer E. A. Foss and Fireman Wm. Morgan were both instantly killed. 7

The circumstances are as follow Engineer Foss was to have gone west last night on number "two," the late night train, but as his engine, the "50," i9 lighter than that run by engineer Miller, they were "changed off." F06S took number "six,** the afternoon train, and Miller went out on number "two" at 1:35 this morning. Engineers are all familiar with changes,of this kind. At Effiingham, Foss' engine number "fifth-six." gave out and he was given the "fifty-sev-en" which has not the air brakes attachment. It will be remembered that last night, though moonlight, was so intensely foggy as robe blinding. Venice is in a hollow where this fog was at its wortst. In such weather the headlight is of little account and engineers universally dread making fast runs in it A switch engine was on the track, and was run into by Mr. Foes' engine, badly wrecking the latter, and causing the death of both himaelf and fireman, as above stated. The whole train, except the sleeping car, was thrown from the track, but no one was hurt.

Engineer Foss, usually called Fred, lived on north Ninth street, where he leaves a wife and three children. He was one of the most popular men in the employ of the company. He was always, prompt, reliable, efficient and brave. Socially he was a warm friend, though quiet and retiring in his disposition. All the railroad men liked him for the sterling qualities of his head and heart. He was an excellent citizen and an honest man whose loss will be greatly felt and much regretted in this community.

Wm. Morgan was an unmarried young man of first-rate reputation. He also lived in this city, where hia uncle is a well known citiaen. Last night Mr. Peddle and Mr. Farrington went out to Venice to assist.

Later reports brought in by the train which arrived here at 2 =45 alter the first accounts somewhat. Owing to*the Miller platforms and Janney coupler none of the train except the forward trucks on the baggage car were thrown from the track. The wrecked engine broke its couplings, went clear off the tr (k .The "fifty-seven" is not unprovided with air brakes as at first stated. The speed at the time of the wreck was nor over twenty miles an hour. Foss' injuries are in the head which was crushed in.

The deceased engineer was a m£fn berof the Foresters, and Knights cf Honor, and the Masonic order and also of the Brotherhood of Locomotive engineers. In some of these he had let the insurance drop. He is supposed to have carried about thirteen thousand dollars insurance.

CONNUBIAL LOVE.

The Reciprocal Outlet of Husband and Wife.

BY TILL AUTHOR OF "A DISSERT AT ION ON* DOGS." Tl« something that a human soul

Has found its counterpart, And something that a kindred mind, Can share a genial heart."

The fires upon the altar of affection should be kept constantly burning if neglected or allowed to become too low there is danger of their dyir.g out altogether. It requires but little fuel to replenish the fire of love when once a flame is kindled, therefore, care should be taken that a little is every day added, that the blaze may be kept burning steadily, increasing daily instead of diminishing. It is the polite, courteous civilities, the little kindnesses, words of sympathy and encouragement—which both so often need—that endear each to the other. We ask, what is love? The best definition I can give is, self sacrifice therefore each must sacrifice something that the other n.ay be happy.

Estrangement of affection between married couples is not always the result of criminal carelessness, but too often cool indifference to please or to appreciate has caused that which at first appeared a "small speck in the distance" to become a formidable mountain over which we could not climb. We cannot be too careful of the feeling of those we love. A cold word, a look of indifference—tho' perhaps not intentionally bjstowed—oftiraes casts a shadow over a a warm, loving heart, while a word of encouragement, of love or kindness dropped at the right time and in the right place has lightened the labors and brightened the eye of many whese cup i$ filled to overflowing.

A good many years ago I remember taking dinner with a young married couple—intimate friends of mine. The wife though a practical housekeeper in every thing else, had never acquired the art of making light bread. At the time of which I write she was under the instructions of a neighbor lady who was a superior baker. During the pleasant dinner-hour the wife of a few months said hopefully to the husband, "what do you think of my bread? Its very nice, isn't it?" Without glancing up from his well-filled plate, he answered, unfeelingly and gruflty, "I see nothing the matter with it. I'm not complaining." I saw a shadow creep over the wife's face, and discovered a tear glistening in her eye. During the balance of my visit I noticed a quiet sadness so unnatural to her I loved so well. Oh! what a different eflect a word of praise would have produced upon my esteemed friend. She felt her labor of love, her great and eager desire to please were unappreciated.

I sometimes think women take this matter too much to heart, and pity them that they are not made of

usterner

Confidence, perfect, implicit confidence is strictly essential between man and wife to insure a happy union, and is something so sacred it cannot be too highly prized, for alas! when once destroyed it can never be restored. A little deception upon her part, a little upon hut soon converts the sweets of life info wormwood.

Jxve is indeed the golden thread which imparts value to the coarsest woof. What ran drive away dullness, lighten the burdens and cares of life, sweeten that which is bitter, compensate for the wrongs or injuries of a selfish world? 'Tis love! the silent monitor of affection, alone, which lends the cheering ray and makes all things seem fair and pure. Without its genial influence we are like "a ship at midnight, sent alone to drift upon a moonless shore.'

In life there is no situation more difficult than that of a man or woman associated for all time, with one whose disposition and habits are ill-as-sorted with his, or her own. What lot through life could be more helpless? God pity them upon whose every fibre of the heart is written "uncongenial." Fo such there is but one remedy, seek comfort from Him above, who alone can heal the bleeding wound, can sooth and soften the spirit of unrest.

A wise old philosopher once said to me, there should always be two bears in every home, "bear" and forbear." If these words were engraved upon every heart, how many souls would escape unloving, unloved lives. Few hearts have never loved. As art adds tints to the flowers, so love adds beauty to face, character and life. Without just appreciation, true love, sympathy and encourgement, all the world can offer is of little value. The spirit of foregiveness should be extensively cultivated among married people who desire to live harmoniously. To err is human, to forgive divine. *'A rough word begets a rough word, a harsh reproof often kindles a flame of passion which cannot be easily subdued, thereby causing the river of life, which 8houldflow in a calm, placid manner to become a turbulent, seething cauldron. There is nothing which makes so strong an impression upon one's feelings as a heartless remark, particularly of those whose hearts and faith and hopes are one. Such remarks, though perhaps light in themselves, often prove the germ of fatal, dread disease*, most commonly known as consumption —the physicians' proper name for a broken heart—and insanity, the demon of the human brain. Grieif very often swallows the life blood of its victim in heavy, unbroken doses, and though unobserved by the most intimate friends, does most effectual work.

I was once the guest* of friends who had been married about three years. I had passed the afternoon envying the husband the cheerful, tidv wife, the wellkept home, the tastefully arranged tea-

-r

stuff."

A man, when wounded by careless words or actions, seeks relief among the "busy bees" ot life, while the only refuge of woman is home, her throne, her heaven, her prison. Some writers rec, ommend fields of literature, religionscience and art. They may employ the mind and hands, but I never imagined they would prove a panacea for shattered hopes, a wounded spirit, a blighted life. Oftentimes I have likened the life of a woman whose hopes have been caushed, to a "wounded bird that hath but one imperfect wing to soar upon."

table, the air of comfort which presided over everything contentment and happiness seemed the ornaments which adorned that cosy home. After tea we three were seated upon the veranda, enjoying the delights of a cool summer's evening While engaged in a pleasant chat, a large, masculine looking lady passed and greet ed our little group. As she did so. the husband turned to me and said. ''When I again marry, ray choice will be that style of wife. I never see such a fine looking woman, without envying the man who mu»t be the haopv possessor."

I glanced cautiously at the brightfaced, neatly dressed wife, and quicklv noticed a deathly pallor overspread her face. He had ruthlessly touched the bright flowers—love and esteem—which were blooming in her heart and imagination. I saw them drooping and withered as though a heavy snow had fallen upon them.

For many years I lost all traces of my friend, but after a long separation I again sought her. At the first glance I discovered the "love light" had died out of her eye and cold despair and defiance had settled there. I asked concerning her past life she simply said "the nights have been as mont hs, the days as years." It needed no words to tell me, the bright, glowing embers which once lighted up the altar of the heart's deepest affections were now but a bed of cold, dead, white ashes. I parted from her fully convinced there is a grief that killeth not, yet, is greater than death!" 1 ..
