In the meantime the grand jury investigated the ca»e and returned three indictments, one against Dr. R. H. Woodward for an attempt to procure an abortion one against youn^ Gump for the same offense, and one against Gump for the seduction. Dr. Woodward was arrested on Saturday, the 15th inst., and placed under bonds.

The warrants against Gump were placed in the hands of Deputy Sheriff Wilkinson who, hv theuseofa little|strategy, succeeded in drawing Gump back to his home. The young man was arrested last night by Jos Hunter and brought to this city this morning. His father, John Gump, became his security for $3,000 in each case, and he was released.

Cynthia Rinehold, the prosecuting witness, belongs to a respectable family. She claims to have bee.i seduced by young Gump, and finding herself in that peculiar condition which is so very embarrassing to unwedded females presented the facts to him and was taken by him to the ©ffice of Dr. Woodward, who gave her medicine and performed an operation which produced a miscarriage.

Of course the young man is innocent that is, he says so. Dr. Woodward says the girl was not pregnant when she visited him. She had supposed that (he was, but he examined her and found differently.

She had been tampering with herself and he gave her medicine to remove the evil effects. He asserts that she begged him to tell Gump that 6he was pregnant, because she was determined to mak Gump marry her.

The cases will be tried very soon in the criminal court, and will no doubt excite much interest.

A CARD.

To the Editor ot the Express: The story has been circulated that I have given pauper passes to a number of persons who were not paupers, to go to Indianapolis. The facts are these: In January last, the Board of County Commissioners and some of the township trustees had occasion to visit Indianapolis to inspect the poor asylum there and to visit the blind and insane asylums. I was instructed by the Board of County Commissioners to give passes to Messrs. Bledsoe and Wilson, of the Board of Commissioners, ai.d Mr. Crandall, trustee of Honev Creek township, and Mr. Schee, trustee of Sugar Creek. That the trip was not made, as hus been charged, to attend the "Voorhee's jamboree" is evident from the fact that Mr. Crandall is a Republican and Mr. Schee a National. Under instructions from the commissioners I have given two or three other passes to county officials travelling on public business, the object being to save to the county the difference between full fare and half fare.

Rinehold, a buxjtn yruna damsel of Perry township, came to this city and swore out a warrant in Justice Beeks' court against Isaac Dayton Gump, a voung man living in that township, for bastard}. The warrant was given to Joe Hunter, who went to the house of Gump's father, and placed the young man under arrest. Hunter remained at the house all night, and discovered, the next morning, that his bird had flown. Young Gump had cleared out and gone to Montcalm county, Mich., where he remained until a day or two ago.

OBSERVATIONS IN THE SOUTH.

Neglected Industries—The Kansas Fever.

Corinth, Miss., March 20th, 1879. To the Editor ot the GAZETTE: Your correspondent reached this town this morning, after an absence of five year?, to find but little if any progress. The large cotton factory, three stories high, about sixty feet wide, and 160 feet deep, a splendid brick building, still remains unoccupied, and is going to ruins. The hub and spoke factory is in even worse shape, and nuhierous other enterprises, started years ago, are going to decay. This city is not an exception to this kind of fizelled out enterprise. You can find the same condition of things all over the South. Millions of monev have been expended in the South to try and combat the manufacturing interests of the North, but it is no use, as the South never will be able to make a single point against the manufacturing interests of the North, and the sooner they realize it the better it will be for them. Cotton, sugar, rice and fruit, they will always excel in, and the people of the North must have these Southern productions, but in manufactured goods and such productions as horses, mules, bacon, meal, flour, corn and even down to clothes pins and matches, the South will ever be dependent upon the Northern manufactures and Droducers.

The Texas and Kansas fever is prevailing to some considerable extent in this region as well as further south and along the Mississippi, Yazoand Sunflower rive's. The poor, deluded people would better stay where they are.

The writer is just closing one of the most interesting and eventful trips of 12 years on the road. But one train per day, each way in this slow country gives the traveller, plenty of time for observation. TRAVELER.

DRUMMERS

OPPOSED TO THE CHANOR OF THE CITY'S NAME—REASONS THEREFOR.

From the Eransvillu Courier. All the old commercial travelers, with hut few exceptions, express their.decided disapprobation ot the idea of the change from Evansville to Lamasco. An old gentleman considerably over the average age of the above class, was in the city yesterday. He expressed himself as being horrified bevond expression regarding the proposition of change he had been acquainted with the city commercially and through others, of the standing of the city financially as Ai never had heard a breath derogatory to her fair fame. Her bonds were eagerly sought for in the East,, and were well known financially and commercially in Europe as being solid beyond a doubt. Now, what have you people done to cause them to think of this foolish change, and much more in the same strain. He was decidedly the strongest advocate we had heard, and decided to take the negative side to give spice to the argument. Said we: "The city will smell just as sweet with another name "You say you have a good trade here. Would you abandon it should our people vote to change?" "No, sir" You are seeking a mart for your manufacture, and would just a9 soon sell to Lamasco as to Evansville?" "Yes, sir." *'The married men and

rl,

It is safe to say, all those who are acquainted with us financially or commercially, will never forget us, and the new name ot Lamasco will add such an interest that they will locate us. It may lead the uneducated astray, and cause them to think. "Hello! a new town— Lamasco—suddenly sprung up in Southern Indiana. Times must be good down there I believa I will go down." This would be a benefit. Advertised we have been—of this there can be no doubt—and having been sufficiently long before the people, a decision at the spring election would certainly seem advisable. EITHER WAY,

It Is a general belief that there is no remedv foi Consumption, and aossibly, in some cases the assertion may be correct. We know however ot many cares made by Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup and will guarantee positive relief to thesufferer in every instance

TO THE PUBLIC.

Mr. John S. Jordon, of the board of county commissioners, desires the public to be informed that he was in no manner connected with the issuing of any of the pauper passes to Indianapolis. And further, that the card published by Mr. B.J. Abbott, the trustee of Harrison Township, is incorrect so far as it states thst "the county commissioners ordered" 6uch passes. No order was ever issued by the board in session for any such passes to be given out. Mr. Jordon emphatically denies any connection with the matter never ordered or used such passes, and denounces the whole affair.

ANGELL IN PRISON.

IN AS AIRY ROOM, AND UP HIS TO EARS IN BUSSINESS, HE PASSES THE WEARY DAYS OF HIS CONFINEMENT,

Fram the Chicago Inter Ocean. While at Joliet yesterday a representative of the Inter-Oeean had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Angell, who, it may possibly be remembered, a short time ago was sentenced to ten year in the penitentiary for embezzlement. Angell is engaged in the business office of the prison. It is a nice, airy room, with three windows six feet high looking out onto a delightful lawn which extends as far as the eye reaches. From one window the eye rest upon a large greenhouse, and fro-n the other in the summer is wafted the scent of a thousand beautiful flowers. Seated at a blackwalnut desk, in a cashioned armchair, sits Angell. It is true his striped suit is not a perfect fit, while his closely shaven face and cropped hair do not add to his personal attraction, but for all that he seems like the Angell of old, inasmuch as he is up to his ears in business. His desk was covered with all sorts of documents, invoices and so forth. On the windowsill to his left were piled a number of huge ledgers, and a small table behind him was fairly weighted down with books in which the accounts of the prison are kept. The only thing that was not in full keeping with his former magnificence was a eracker box which peeped forth trom under the table, and the label:

and merchants of this and other lands would be like yourselves, would they not?" "Yes, sir," said he. "You forget the absurdity of the change. Who would know where Lamasco was? They look for it on some of the new railroad's in the now far West." "A moment, if you please. Those who are acquainted with us, know this has been in contemplation for some time. They are no doubt watching eagerly for the result of this question before the people. You say you have denounced the idea whenever an opportunity offered, and that thousadds of staid gentlemen lika yourself, all over the land, are talking about it." "This, I must say to you, begging your pardon, I am indeed glad to hear, for we shall come out of this strife a better known people than we ever were before. Many will locate us, after this dieenssion, that never had sufficient interest to place our particular Evansville."

A CARD.

Te the Editor of the GAZETTE: Having been requested by many friends to become a candidate for Mayor I take this means of stating that I am and wiil not be a candidate for said office. My business would prevent my being a candidate, even if I was so inclined. There are several gentlemen of ability, possessed of all the necessary qualifications, now in the field, either one of whom will fill the place with credit to themselves, and honor to the Democratic party. I prefer to do as I kave done for years in the past, labor as a "private in the rank and file," for the success of the party.

The complete success of the Democratic party will be more gratifying to me than an election to any office. All my energies will be directed to the triumphant election of the ticket. Victory should be the object of every Democrat. None will rejoice more over it than myself. In refusing to become a candidate I am not unmindful of the obligations under w'uich I am olaced to my friends by their complimentary solicitations. T^e-y all have my warmest thanks. 4

He goes' about his business as thougl. he was interested, now and then asking a question. When asked about his fare, and how it compared with the Palmer House, he answered with jocularity: "Oh, it is not quiet so nice but I relish it as much.

Of course the prison authorities never tell any one that Angell is in the business office so that gentleman often hea^s himelf freely talked about by those who do not know him. While the Inter-Ccean representative sat reading a paper in the office a knowing one came in and loudly said: "Well, boys, guess you've got an Angell here since I was fast at the prison."

Angell sat at work two yards from the speaker. "Well, now," continued the knowing one, "I want to see that cuss. Where is he a* work?''

The head clerk replied with ft twinkle in his eyes, We've put him to work in the stone yard." "Indeed!" said the inquirer, and then he volunteered his idea about the crime and the course Angell had pursued, much to the edification, no doubt, of Angell and those present.
