Text of the Complaint Filed by these so Styled Spiritual ?.

From Thursday's Daily.

Sumtnons was served this morning on the proprietors of this paper to appear in the circuit court on the 22nd day of 3eptcinbcr to answer in a libel suit brought by Annie M. and John Stewart. Twenty thousand dollars carnages are demauded. The complaint is as follows:^"

STATE OF INDIANA, Vioo COUNTY. In the Vigo ANNIE M. STEWART Co. Court, AND JOHN SIRWART, 7 Sept. Term, vs I 1879- ComYIWM. C. BALL AND plaintin Libel ^SPKNCER F, BALL.

Said Plaintiffs, who are husband and wife, and for wrong and injury done to the plaintiff, Annie M., and in her right, complain of the said defendants and say:

Thaf. on the 29th daj1 of August, 1879, and for a long time theretofore, and continuously since that time, hitherto, the baid defendants were under the firm name and qfyle of Wm. C. Ball Sc Co. editors, proprietors and publishers :of a newspaper, to-wit: '•The Evening GAZETTE, printed and published in the city of Terre

Haute,county of Vigo and state of Indiana, every evening except Sun days:

That on said 29th day of August, 1879, the said defendants, in the columns of said newspapers, concerning the said plaintiff, Annie M., maliciously published and cause to be published the following false, malicious, and wicked lible to-wit: 4 *.w

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. No. I. MRS. ANNIE STKWART, (The Great Unwashed.)

[Here follows in the complaint the article under that head, published in the GAZETTE of the 29th, which was widely read and spoken of, when commented,on at all, as being singularly mild considering the colossal character of the fraud practiced by these two interesting swindlers. The complaint concludes]:

And plaintiffs allege that by reason of the printing and publication, by said de1'endandR, of the said false, malicious, scandalous, defamatory and wicked libel, in manner aforesaid, said plaintiff, Annie M., has been and is damaged in the sum of ten thousand dollars, for which plaintiffs pray judgment and for all other relief.

Davis & Davis, T. W. Harper, and Cyrus F. McNutt, attorneys for plajniffs.

Second count recites that an article published in the GAZETTE on the 29th of August contained "among other things the following false, scandalous, defamatory and malicious statement of and charge against and concerning said plaintiff Annie M., that is to 8ay: "It may not be generally known that by the members of her own and her husband's families she is denounced in the most unmeasured terms as a woman not only dishonest in Hie Spiritual manifestations, but as of the lowest and the most degraded character," thereby meaning to charge and charging, and being understood by the numerous persons who read said article to charge and as charging the said plaintiff Annie M. Stewart with being a lewd woman, to plaintiffs dama :e in the-sum of $10,000."

Another $10,000 is asked on this count, making $20,000 if they are added, which is an amount of damage to the characters of these two persons which we had no idea they could sustain^ The defendants have been sumnfonWr to appear on the 23nd day of September, and will be there.

Death of Joacpb V. Hill

•k

Vincennes, Ind., Sept. 9.—Joseph. V. rHill, an aged and much respected citizen of Princeton, died yesterday. The qe.ceased was one of tfae pioneers of Gibsbn county, and a leading spirit in Democratic circles.

The above is taken from a special to the Indianapolis Sentinel of Wednesday. Deceased was one of the best known and most beloved citizens of Gibson county. He has lived for many years At Princeton, where he was one of the oldest and best known business men. At the time of hi6 death he was seventy yearsold. and was not in business, having retired a few years ago. He was thoroughly respected among all liis friends and acquaintances, because of the inflexible integrity of his character, and his standing as a man and Though never a candidate for office himself, he was quite prominent in politics in his district, having been a life-long and staunch Democrat. Deceased was the father of George W. Hill, Adams Express messenger on the E. & T. H. road. Notwithstanding he had lived the alotted span of life his death came with a shock, and his loss to the community in which he lived will be greatly felt.

AN excursion party will go down the river about the ists of next month on a pleasure trip. The party will probably consist of Mr. John G. Williams, Frank Crawford, Ed. R06S, Ed. Bryant, Frank Guiick, Commodore Chauncey Twaddle and R. W. Rippetoe. They will make the trip in the "Crumbs of Comfort."

The attendance at the Fair yesterday was such as to make the agricultural directors smile all over their faces. During the races and the drill the amphitheatre was full, the track lined with eager persons and the enclosures all filled with handsome vehicles and substantial farm wagons. Everybody was satisfied, too. The afternoon was simply perfect. It seemed "made to order"—"measured to fit" the wants ol the people.

THE RACES.

The 2:50 trot for a purse of $100 Was contested* by the following horses: F. J. Hess' beautiful sorrel mare "Lottie" Henry Robinson's bay gelding "Putnam" Mike Cadden's bay gelding "Gjuiliford" W. Piercer's sorrel mare "Nettie" J. Rupp's gray gelding, Gray George N. B. Rockwell's bay mare, Lady Fletcher. All the horses were driven by their owners, except the horses belonging to Messrs. Henry Robinron and N. B. Rockwell.

There was entirely too much scoring. People became disgusted, and applauded Webb tasto's threats to start the hoises no matter where thev were, or as he expressed it, "in spite of hell"

Only three heat* were trotted and the remainder were declared postponed until this afternoon. The result of the ill WHO "ft, heats weie:

THE OWPETITIVE DRILL.

The Cadets, Captain Friend, were first to arrive on the ground yesterday, the Light Guard, Capt. Merrel Smith, next, and the Governor Guards in charge of Capt. Hootor last. The centrai and engrossing interest of the afternoon was directed to the drill. It was richly worth the attention given. A prettier sight has never been witnessed in the track. Capt Von Hermann whose letter of accep tance of the invitation to act as judge, has been published, was present and devoted the entire time to the severest scrutiny of the movements of the men.

The Light Guards were called fpr. They propably received ten for appearance. They were in superb condition, their'-'beautiful uniforms, showing up to the best advantagel Capt. Smith's movements were gracefu to perfection and his commands were nicelv given. He forgot to put the company through the stacking arms drill but otherwise made no mistakes or omissions. There were a fe* errors on the part of the company but on the whole they did tneir best, bore themsel ves in a soldierly manner and retired amid applause.

The Cadets were the next to drill. Their first movement captivated the vast audience and applause, which became tumultuous, attended them throughout. The Cadets astonished everybody. They have been organized scarcely ten weeks, yet in marching—in which they are most proficient—they fairly crowd the 'best of the two older companies. They executed many more movements than either of the other companies, and performed the most difficult evolutions with ease and precision, but with a little too great rapidity. Their few mistakes were in the manual,

citizen, and one or two company errors arase from a faulty command. The present arms, while marching, was one of these

With these exceptions Capt. Friend dia splendidly. His commands were all excellent voice, and his control of the company perfect. The sympathies of the audience were plainly with the boys and many freely said they had won the first place.

The excitement had become intense when the manly form of Captain Hoctor headed the Gouernor's Guard to the grounds for drilling. It was known that the Governors have neglected work late and their friends feared the result would be bad for them. To those who remembered the magnificent drill the G. G.'s gave last year, when the contest was drawn between them and the Light

Guard, it must be confessed their drill of yesterday did not meet expectations. It is probable Captain Hoctor himself was disappointed with it, and it was evident the company did not do near so well as usual. The gamins were miserably rude in shouting at a mistake made. The "company front" and oblique movements were superbly done but the loading manual was decidedly "off." Capt. Hoctor's commands were elrgantlv given. When the drill had concluded the following note was addressed to the Secretary: i"o tae Socretary of the Vigo Agricnl tural

Socieiy: SIR: I have the honor to submit my report of the result of my observations in regard to the drill of those companies which you have requested me to witness.

Though it is obvious that great pains have been taken, ar.d great effort made by th« Cadets, I have found too many deviations from the tactics to place them on the same line with the two older companies.

To decide between the two guard? is somewhat difficult, but after a cartful consideration of their work and of their strong points, I am obliged to find the Li^ht Guard the more thorough drilled company, especially on account of their steadiness.

I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant. 9 -*,•« C.J. VON HERRMANN, •:s¥: 1

The time wis 2:58 and 2(51% heat the time was not lenrned. 1 he second race was for two $200 for horses that never beat 2:40. It was a much better race, The entries were:

Messrs. Lawrence Heinl, W. E. Patrick, E. Frazier, John Weldman, A. Hull, and A. B. Trueblood are worthy contestants for the society's premium on twelve varieties of apples. Ten persons are On the lists with splendid specimens ot 6ix va'ieties of apples.

Fewer persons have exhibited pears, but there are Still some handsome'specimens shown. Mr. J. O. Jones has sornethintr new in the wa.y of this luscious fruit. •. ri -y-1

Plums are not well represented but there are some nice collections of quinces. Messrs. J. O. Jones, S. P. Swartz, B. L. Boring, Jno. Wildman and E. J. Brown being the principal contestants.

W. E. Patrick has entered for Fenner & Lotze's special for best half bushel of Bartlett pears.

Only two persons, Mr. L. Heinl and Mrs. C. Petri,, exhibit Crab apples. Nearly every variety of grapes grown in the state are are represented. Besides the professional growers, S. P. Swartz, Mrs. F. Meyer and J. O. Jones have made entries.

Everybody knows what a great place Vigo county is for watermelons. There are some nice specimens of our king fruit at the fair. Messrs, E. Littleton, J. E. Bickel, D. H. Markins, M. Ryan, W. D. Mountjoy and R. F. Harden show their melons, and may well feel proud of their success.

FLOWERS. -V-'"? '•M"

Mrs. Geo. Hay ward has entered a collection of green house plants, bedding plants, verbenas and annuals.

Miss Lizzie Jeffers exhibits a beautiful collection of verbenas. A collection of cut flowers by Mrs. J. O. Jones and daklias by Mr. E. Littleton attract,attentkm.

The are some very pretty boXiquefs and hanging baskets shown. In the professional lists Mr. John G. Heinl and Mr. Lawrence Heinl, who are now running separate establishments, contend for the supremacy.

Without entering into particulars it is enough to say they have done credit to themselves. The opportunities for display are not good, and the advantage of fountains which the city expositions have, is sadly lacking.

Mrs. George Hayward, Mrs. Mary S. Miller and Mrs. J. Walter have entered for Mrs. Dan Reibold's special on the handsomest bouquet.

There are eight exhibitors tor Mr. J. A Foote's special for the largest gipsy striped watermelon. Some of the melOT-- are so nearly alike that the GAZETTEKK. would dislike very much to be called on to make a selection. In the' non-enumerated lists Mr. J. A. Foote makes some attractive exhibits. Farmers are interested in his millet.

THE AGRICULTURAL

show has not yet been examined, but will receive our attention to-morrow.

s" *_ HORSES. Judges were engaged this morning in examining horses in the speed ring There are some very fine horsea indeed entered, but the GAZETTE is constrained to say the entries are not numerous, and the competition, therefore, not active.

There are a few horses entered for general purposes, but those shown are first rate, ordinary animals. The best animals are shown under the title of horses for»light harness. Linus Moyer, J. G, Lycan, S. A. Fitch, J. R. Francis, William Cox, Geo. W. Carico, C. E. Kuster, N. Rockwell, G. A. Schafl, S. G. Harks, Henry Ernhardt, Benj. F. Rogers, J. P. Staub, W. L. Ogden, J, H. Thompson, E. Hughes and P. J. Ryan show theiranimals.

There are two entries for the jwsemtum offered on riding by a boy, Masters

Johnnie West and Willie Hunter being the contestants. There are fifteen entries for the $25 premium sweepstakes offered on horses, and ten for the sweepstakes on mares. .. CATTLE.

The showing of breeding and Aiderhey C$lUe is not full enough. THE HOG display is very good indeed. Our stockraisers have been spurred up to doing something by the Illinois breeders who have come among us and made exhibits. Mr. Isaac C. Meyer is superintendent of this department, and is one of the most active, efficient men on the grounds.

Messrs. Thos. Taylor and G. F. King show good boars two years and over. George Turner and Thos. Ta**lor exhibit boars under 7 months.

Mr.-J. H. Evans, of this township' deserves comm«miation for what he has done. He has gone to breeding hog Snd had remarkable success. He and Benjamin Rogers are two men whose example in enterprise should be widely copied by our farmers. The result will be better stuck, more satisfaction, and better profits. The GAZETTE is lad to notice that Mr. H. H. Crew and acob Herr are here agsin. Their hogs are always worth looking at.

Mr.Richsrd H. Kessant, of* Sandford, is present at the fair with some slueep which do credit to this county.

There are a good many entries for the specials offered by the Vigo Woolen Mills.

Mr. Geo. Clem is principal exhibitor of mules. KV.* MECHANICAL DM VRTMENT.

One hundred and twenty-five (entries have been made in this de partment. The showing of carriages is excellent. Wildy & Poths have eight buggies of Cincinnati make are astonishing the farmers with their prices. Harrison be Jackson also have some beautiful werk of their own.

Fouts & Hunter have an extensive display and Keyes & Sjk.es also show a good deal of work. Agricultural implements will receive attention to-morrOw. Peter Miller, the harnesu man, as uslual ha? covered himself all oyer with glory.

FRUITS. lj

There are 264 entries in fruits. Twenty varieties ol apples in succession are represented by C. D. Mason, W. E. Patrick, E. Frazier, J. G. Price and John Weldman. The fruits shown are highly creditable. Patrick, Frazier and Weldman have also entered fifteen varieties, most profitable in Western Indiana.

From Saturday^ Dally.

Notwithstanding the rain during the first part of the day yesterday, an immense crowd ot people— a larger assemblage of any day previous, collected at the fair grounds. Owing to the slippery condition of the track, Colonel Pettit refused positively to perform the feat of riding twenty miles in fifty minutes. In the ride he. mounts and dismounts thirty-six times, and thu muddy condition of the track would have rendered such a performance extremely dangerous to both horse aud rider. The feat was, therefore, postponed to this afternoon at 2 o'clock, sharp.

One of the principal events of yesterday was the great mule race, and it cap be safelv said that nothing has been to thoroughly enjoyed by the spectators a* was this race. There were seventeen entries, as follows:

Richard Brotherton entered Neijie

B1fej

Perisho *n'ered Jennie ConlogU

and Kate Conlogue. A. Dean entered Dick. V/ Sparks entered Deceiver.

W. W. Watkins entered Black Dick. Sid Morris entered Pet Marsh. Wilber Berger entered Eliza Jane. Preston Day entered Bettie. Lorenzo Dow entered.Belle, 3-r Charles Mace entered Major.

Henry Ehrenhardt, entered Jennie Lind. Joseph Foler ehrered Swift Sal.

Wm. Shomer entered Crazy Jack. Samuel Haythorn entered Blue Bell. Bayless G. Hanna entered Samuel I. Tilden.

The mules were placed in rotation and assigned to their places under the wire. Mr. Hanna's mule was a large, dark colored animal, ridden by a bilious colored individual, who seemed to be troubled by a bad digestion, and who grinnsd as though he had the race already run.

When the word "go" was given some of the mules went in one direction, and some in another, and some even refused to move at all. "S. J. Tilden" ran into a post on the first quarter, knocked one of his eyes out and was otherwise banged up. He was conveyed back to his stable, and "Samuel J. Tilden" was seen no more.

The race was mile heats, two best in three Nellie Blye, Pet Marsh and Blue Bell, each won a heat in the order named. Nellie won the fourth heat and the race. The prizes were $50, $30 and $20.

Owing to the postponement of the free-for-all trot, an impromptu trotting race for a purse of $100 was gotten up, and Burlington, Dan Messer, McA/thur and Polly Wishard entered and stabled.

Burlirgton won the race in two straight: heats without muqh difficulty, taking the lead at the first, and maintaining it to the last. The following is a summary of the

After the race Cy Caddie, the Mexican, appeared on the track in Mexican costume, mounted on a Texas horse and preceded by a wild buffalo. Mr. Caddie carriei a lasso, with which he wis to capture the ferocious king of the plains. Caddie's first effort was a failure, the lasso falling harmlessly to the grotind. The buffalo seized the opportunity and made a dash through an o,»en ng in the fence and made for the teats, the occupants of which did not loose much timein making tor tall grass. About a thousand yelling bqys ?nd frightened men followed the. buffalo. The king of the plains was soon captured,, and Mr. Caddie again proceeded to enlighten the spectator# on the subject of buffalp hunting. This time both Caddie and his lasso did good »ork, and

Mr Buffalo was a prisoner. The horseman then exhibited some clever feats, which w.ere relished bv the spectators.

The twenty mile ride began at 2 o'clock to-dav, and was witnessed by aa immense assemblage.

The ride was followed by a trotting1 race, which in turn was followed by an exhibition drill by the McKeen Cadets.
