The free for-all trotting race was great success to the horse that won. Burlington seems too fast for the horws that trotted against him. he won three straight heats with too little difficulty to make the contest exciting. Bay Frank did good work.

TOTAL DEPRAVITY. Last Sunday morning about 2 o'clock, while the freight train on the I. & St. L. R. R. was backing on the side track at Carbon, to let passenger train No. 5 pass, a wotran was observed lying in the middi~ of the side track, near the rear end 01 the train as it was approaching her, but too late to stop the train before several cars had passed over her. As she lay in the middle of the track, none of her limbs were broken, but received much injury by being dragged while the cars were passing over her. A physician was called, and dressed her wounds. She stated that her name was Smith, and that her mother lived at St. Marys. She was taken to St. Marys on the same train and left with the agent until her mother could come and take charge of her. She is a younjr woman yet in her teens and was married a few years ago while but a child, to a man named Cox. They separated shortly after marriage, and she has since become a case of total depravity. Her name is rot^tjiith as_ she represented, b'elorc she married £oc.

He closed his talk with the announcement that he wished both the German and the English teachers to aid each other !y working haunao* niously together.

Prof. Sandison gave the teachers a highly instructive paper on the subject of history.

President George P. Brown, of the Normal, favored the teachers with a very interesting talk on

CUTTING AFFKAY.

Mcrious Cutliug Affray- Saturday Xight.

There was a serious cutting affray Saturday night about 8 O'CIOCK atjth'e fair grounds. Jos. Ellison, driver of an express w: gon that stands on the corner of Fifth and Main streets, became involved in a dispute with Fred Faust, who had a beer stand on the grounds. Ellison drew a "blood-thirsty knife'' and cut Faust in a horrible manner in nine "different places, the principal wounds being in the stomach, hr»d and shoulder. Faust bled pro-fu-cly. His wounds were dressed by a pnvsician on the grounds, after which i" was conveyed to the city. Dr Crapo was summoned, and by the influence of morphine succeeded in leaving him resting easv. Ellison was arrested by Offieers Buckingham, Shewmaker and Clark and was brought to the city and lodged in the station house. Ellison i* probably fifty years of age, and is well known as the owner of an express wagon. Faust is a.ed about thirty years, and is the proprietor of a grocery store on the corner of Lafayette and Seventh streets. It is thought that with proper care and good treatment he may possibly recover, but the chances are against him,

LATKR.

This afternoon Faust was resung easy, being attended by Dr. Gerstmeyer. It is thought probable that by good treatment he may recover.

A CARD

FROM RANSOM ROGERS. I

To the Kdltor of the GAZOTI' In the Express of this morning I find the following Communications.«

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

To the Editor ottbe Express: The communication of Citizen in yesterday's issue on the subject of an examination of our county bocks should not be allowed to pass unnoticed, but should be constantly kept before the people until the matter is taken in hand by the Commissioners and experts employed to do the work. If the Democratic Board of Commisioners will not do it, let the peo pie take the matter in band and elect men pledged to do so. It has been charged, and not denied, that the Prosecutor of this county has drawn large sums above the fees allowed him by law, and there may be other cases. It is now believed in commerical circles that one of the agricultural implement houses of this city is Uoing large sums of the tax-payers' money in consequence of th«ir close connect'on with the County Treasure, and the Demoqiatic ring .running the county, for which no security is given 01 interest paid. There is now in the Treasury over $50,000 of sinking fund to the credit of our bridge bonds which being used somewhere without any proper acccunt to the people for interest of same, and said fund accumulating every year. By all mean* let the examination of our county books be made within the present year if possible. The time has come for a general balancing! up all round, and now let the people see if their public servants are Keeping matters square at the Court House.

Vrso.

Inasmuch as 1 am a brother to Newton Rogers, the Treasuerof Vigo county, it is only reasonable to suppose that the firm of which I am a member i9 the one to which allusion is made in the assertion that "an agricultural implement house of this eity is using large sums of the tax-payers' money in consequence of their close connection with the County Treasurer." Whether or not it is intended to mean the firm of which I am a member, can not tellr but from the relationship between- us that is what e\erybody will understand the writer to charge. I wish to say, and Jo sav, that I have not now and have-uot had sine.* my brother, N*w*on Rogers, has been County Treasurer, a single dollar of money* from him as an individual or as an official, nor has the firm of which I am a member had a dollar. -The accusation is false in each and every particular, and I demand of the Express an explicit re traction of it* false insinuation.

RANSOM ROGERS I of the firm of Rogers* Wheat & Co. Terre Haute, Sept. 13th, 1869. C. A. Powers is the writer of the,above article signed Vigo. We demand from him a retraction of the charge contained in it, or that he produce the proo:s. ,F, .. ROGERS, WHEAT Sc.Co.

THE Terre Haute correspondent of the Indianapolis Journal i$ ill-naturedly pitching into Mr. Charley Anderson, city editor of the Express, and Mr. Youndt, the business manager, charging both with the heinous offense of not being Republicans Everybody knows Mr. Anderson, and is aware that he has done some excellent' newspaper work, and that the Express is wise in retaining his services. He says in- an article on. the subject of his politics::,.

The city editor confesses that he is a friend and admirer of Senator Voorhees, but defies any person to point out an itstance when he has written a solitary sentence bearing the impress of partisan bias." Mr. Youndt, as the GAZETTE has already had occasion to remark, is on« of the best business men that ever had charge of a newspaper in Terre Haute. The financial affairs of ouacontemporary will prosper under him.

THE "BULL PEN" TROUfctBL' The Osgoods and the Cunninghams, of the "Bull Pen," seem to have fallen out. Last Sa'urday night John Osgood, the chimney sweep, and John Cunningham, pounded each other for nearly an hour and both were arrested. Osgood was fined and he, therefore, was. very mad. In his madness he filed a complaint against John sand Abdigai Cunningham for keeping a disorderly house and he caused them to be fined. Now Mr. Cunningham swears he shall not lie satisfied until Mr. Osgood's scalp shall dangle is his belt and the last named gentleman will not be avenged until he pulls the other'* hair. Developments are breathlessly awaited. r,

GREAT JOY AHEAD.

The Grandest and Biggest Shows in the World Comimiog to Terre Haute

Oct.

3d.

The ImmertM Great Ltffldon Shows, With Two Other Magnificent Exhibitions, Coming to Astonish Us.

The Grand Electric Light and the World's Greatest Performers.

On Oct 3d. the grandest amusement enterprise Sn the world's history is to visit us. Where other shows have one or two features, the Great London Com bined exhibitions have a thousand. In St. Louis, as in other large cities this season, over 20,000 people attended'each day, and were almost petrified with delight. Read the following from the St Louis Times-Journal or August 13.

Seats were provided for 11,500 persons and standing at the entrance to the circus tent not a vacant place could be seen It is a safe estimate, however, that there were 10,000 persons present, And the scene presented as the brilliant electric light shown upon this vast sea of humanity twas an exceedingly attractive one. The circus tent, the largest in the country, is over 300 feet long, and is what is called a ^o-foot round top, with a co-foot center and three center poles. Both the Circus and Menagerie tents are illuminated by the new electric light, which is a marked improvement over the old style of lighting circus tents with coal oil and gasoline. The light is a pure white, gives day colors to all objects viewed by it and is not unpleasant to the eyes. Every nook and corner of the immense tent is as light as day, the faces and costumes of the performers are distinctly yisible in the ling, and it is possible even to recognize the features cf an acquaintance on the opposite side of the tent. The ring performance is rendered especially enjoyable under this Kght as everything can be seen and the animal dens in the menagerie are lighted up so that at nijght all the specimens are distinctly visible. It renders the use of 8inoking torches unnecessary and all danger of explosion is avoided. The ring performance is of- a superior order of merit and it is all that it is advertised to be. Throughout there are evidences of an effort, to present novelties and* to cast out all the oid stereotyped circus features, which has been eminently successful. There is an air of freshnes* about the entire performance that makes it peculiarity enjoyable. The company embraces many of the Heading stars ot bhe sawdust circle, and the?e is no ta singlte common place act in. the whole programme

Fillups" are (kiscarded, and each performer is a specialist. This is noticeable particularly ill tbe batoutte leaping where there are eight dtouble sommersatsk turners, while the average circus seldom has more than one.

THE PROSTITUTION H0USES. Among the mauy creditable acts which Mayor Havens has performed since his term ot office is one that demands the attention of the public as being particularly praiseworthy. One morning, a week or so since, bile looking out of the rear window of the Mayor'n office, His Honor was horrified to be confronted with the startling fact that there were tour houses of prostitution within & stone throw from the Mayor's court and station house. He could not be-lieve-his eyes, buA there they were: Madame Campbell's ranch, directly opposite, on Third street, Lottie Burroutjh's, up stairs ower that, Jenr.ie Osgood't hole, in Tryon's building on Walnut street, and Ann Romine and her wayward companions'in the same building. Truly this was not a pleasantotsight for the municipal head of the city to behold-!: He, however, soon recoveredifrom his astonishment, and directly set about witt^a w&i and did nonstop until the view from his office could be free from bawdy hou&es. He immediately- instructeo the police to intorm the propcietors of the bagnios to stampede In their turns the "madames" were surprised. The Mayor^ however, was atead fast and on their refusing to move imide the time allotted, several of then* were fined and incarcerated in the station house. They servedi their terms and were again notified to move. Sailing again to do this they- were arrested and dned another time. The "madames" were beginning to» weaken something must be done.

Slow the buildings and rooms,, where, hertofore, prostitutes of the lowest character, in the lowest depths of degradation, have plied their trade day alter day, and night after night—all under the eyes ay, even under the very noses of the municipal officers- for six long years past,, all i» now lonely and deserted. Several of the "madames" have even left the city with the* girls.

This is a higher creditable work.

v?,. 10 raE PUBLICI The coming re-union of the «old»rs of the late war promises to b» the largest gathering of people ever witnessed in the state ~*f Indiana outside of ii.dianapolis.

FROM IRELAND.

Til® Trip of Terre LZ*tuteiin

Galway, Ireland, August 26th. 1S79. MY DEAR WIFE—We arrived here last night from Dublin in a tremendous rain. Brother William has rot been at all well, and desired to return immedia ely. He thinks the air here doesn't agree with him, but fortune favored u* to-day in giving us fine weather, and he has consented to remain. I coul.l not induce him to go out to cousin'*, as he feared it might rain. He would not run the risk of getting wet for one thousand dollars. Finding he could *-ot be prevailed on to make the trin, I started alone on an "Irish jaunting car,'' and had a most delightful ride. I know you would haye enjoyed it hugely. It looks to me here like what we read of Mexico. The most romantic place you ever saw, and such views—Rock wood, where cousin John Galway Holmes lives, is four miles from town. I had a most beautiful and romantic ride. The entrance to the grounds is through a large iron gate, hung on two large pillars, and a porter's lodge on the right. A pretty girl answered the call of my driver, who opened the gate with a key she took from her pocket We drove to the house, a massive stone edifice, about a quarter of a mile from the road, over a grand way, kept in superb order, and shrubbery and grass in perfect trim. I recognised the beautiful lawn the moment I saw it aU thorgh when last seen by me I was only five or six years old. I wai met before the door by an old gentleman, who told me his name was Galway Holmes. I introduced myself as Edward Hughes, from America. He cordially invited tne in. After chatting a while he ordered in the wine. I told him I always had a very delightful recollection of his garden which was our grand-moth-er's when I last saw ir it. So, taking me round the house we entered the garden which was surrounded by a stone wall 14 feet high and about 18 Inches thick. The gate we entered at is a most romance looking one, all grown over with ivy. The walls on the inside are covered with fruit trees, nailed up against them. Every thing in the most perfect o.'der— not a leaf out of place, not a weed to be seen. The walls enclose one and a quarter acres. It looked more like fairy land than an earthly home, a beautiful blending of the useful with the ornamental. Shortly after our return to the house his wife joined us. She is a very elegant middle-aged lady, dressed in a silk dress, a water-proof cloak over her shoulders. She remarked she had „just returned from her garden that she 16ved flowers very much. I toid her my wife had just such tastes, and if they should eve meet, there would be no fear of disagreement on the subject of flowers. Cousin Holmes said he did not believe there existed a woman as fond of flowers as his wife. That she spent the greater portion oi her time in her garden,. and eiler--ed to bet his wife was the greatest gardener 0# the twot They treated me wr'th great cordiality,, and told me a great deal in regard to our family history, which, runs back into the dim past. They both drank my health* in a glass of wine,, and took my address, remarking, cousins- like u» should1 correspond at least 0*1 oe a* year. Soyou see-1 did not leave a'badi impression-on my aristocratic relations. Their winter home- is K» Dublin. He showed me his son's- l'*kenew. who i»- an officer in the Britisharmj. Our cousin'slarg» French estate is aiiiout one mile from' town. As mybro«u*r is in such a terrible hurry fco- return, we will not be able to extend onr acquaintance, especially as the rainis again coming down in- torrents. This is* a regular olTSpanish.towny it is nondescript, and looks very foreign to me. We were shown by the Dominican monks a. very fine portrait in oil, life size of their great founder, our great grand uncle,. Father James French They hold his» nemory in the highest' esteem. There is much.talk of making this p«rl a great' depot for American live stock, etc. If it is consummated it wiMadd greatly to the importance ©f the city.. The hotel am stopping.at is anew and very fine one it would not' dishonor New York. I'am determined tp visit Wales,, the bfrth plaqe of my father, before I return home. I h&ve had a great deal of satisfaction, a melancholy satisfaction out

While our citizens have been Very liUeral, i: wai ao small undertaking for a committee of a few gentlemen to raise the sum of $15,000 and much of thafe in comparatively email' sums. We feel that thus community owes a debt of gratitude to those gentlemen for their untring efforts to secure the Ideation of this extensive manufactory in our midst.

The establishment of this factory in Danville is only the beginning of Danville's future greatness as a manufacturing city.

THS Re-union committee has commenced work trying to raise money by subscription. There is so doubt that a large sum will be donated and the affair made a great success. -1
