He Has Been Offered the Chairmanship of the American Branch of the Panama Canal.
He Has Resigned the Secretaryship of the Navy and Accepted This Place.
[The tallowing dispatchcs relating to otir distinguished townsman, Secretary Thompson, will bo read with interest by hm friends in Indiana. The appointment is one highly complimentary to both nidcs. It is complimentary to him to IK chosen to be the head in this country of the most gigantic enterprise of the cen lury. It cannot help being a source ol congratulation to the friends of the com pany that it has been able to secure tlx jiersonul services of a gentleman whose administration of our Navy Departmenl has been xigualized by business ability and economical manazcimiH without parallel in the history of the country Secretary Thompson at the hi ad of the enterprise in ibis country is a gtiranter to every investor in the stock and bonds of the com puny that ever) cent will be honestly and economically (expended and faithfully accounted foi duriiig the progress of the "work and when it is done. The emphasis given to this phase of the question by his appoint incut ought to be and doubtless will be immeiiBc value to the company in obtain! ing a market for its securities.
The news concerning hiH appointment AD follows:—KD. GAZ.| I N:I,E DU'K KKHKJNS. A Washington special to the Indiana polis Journal of yesterday *ays:
WAHIIINUTO.N, Deo. 11.—Secretary o( the Navy Thompson has tendered his resig nution to the President, to take effect as soon as his successor is appointed. Mr. Thompson has accepted the offer of M. Do Lesseps to take the 'chairmanship of the American bran .Mi of the Panama canal. He expects to retire front the cabinet by the end of the year. 11 is resignation was tendered on the 9th inst. No one is yet named as his successor. T11K PANAMA CAN.VII I'ROJECT—TENDER OK
T1IK CHAIRMANSHIP OK TIL AMERICAN COMMITTEE TO SECRETARY THOMPSON AND HIS L'KOB-
AHLK AOOEITANCE.
From the N. Y. Herald of Friday. It was reported here this morning that Secretary Thompson had accepted by cable the chairmanship of the American Committee of the Panama Canal Company. This is not true- Mr. Thompson received yesterday a cable from At. de Ijcsscps, making him the formal oflVr of such chairmanship, and he is to-day considering this oiler and consulting with friends about it. There is little or no doubt of his acceptance, but he will not finally decide until he goes to New York to-morrow.
The Secretary said this morning to y.nir correspondent:— "1 have received the offer, but it. is not true that 1 have accepted it. His very probable that I shall do so, for I think it right to do so. It is not a thing which I ought to refuse, but before, accepting I must see some friends, and I must in particular consult with the. President, who is absent today. I think it probable that on accepting the offer made me I shall resign from the Navy Department, and it is on this matter that 1 must see the President to lay the whole subject before him and ascertain his idea. and wishes. After that I shall go to New York and make known my decision."
Whether the President will think it necessary for Mr. Thompson to leave the Navy Department upon accepting the chairmanship of the American Committx! ot the canal company is not known. Mr. Thompson apparently inclines to do *o, but be will lo guideu by the wishes of Mr. llaycs.
In any CJISC there little or no doubt that Panama Canal enterprise has sccured an American head, and one of decided energy, ability and public, influence. Mr. Thompson has lor many years taken a deep interest in the question of an interoceanic canal. Hehas studied the subject in all its bearings, and is probably as completely master of it in every detail as any man in this country or in Europe. It will be another advantage to the company that Mr. Thompson is known to and inlluential among American capitalists by reason of his railroad connections and interests, while the fact that he has been the most eapablc, intelligent and energetic head of tho Navy Department since the late Gideon Welles left that place will increase the confidence of the public in Europe as Well as here in the canal enterprise in which he is to take the lead. Secretary Thompson, it is wel 1 known, has held strongly to the opinion that American interests should have controlling weight in the canal. It was he who, when the canal question became prominent, established coaling stations in Chiriqui Bay and Golfe Dolce for the use of our navy. His acceptance of the chairmanship of the American Committee of the Panama Canal Company will, for,this reason, it is here thought, 'serve to give confidence to American capitalists to aid the enterprise, and will give a general and quieting assurance that American interests iu the canal will not be overlooked. In
short, the general opinion in Washington is that M/de Ixsseps has made an admira ble stroke'for
hiB
conal project in secur
ing Secretary Thompson for the chairmanship. The Universal Company, which has undertaken the canal under the presi dency of M. de Lcsseps, has determined that all the machinery, with theexcep tion of a few dredging machines and all the tools, provisions anil other needed supplies for the construction of the janal shall be purchased in the United States. .The American Committee, of which Secretary Thompson has been nsked to accept the chairmanship, is to act as the purchasing committee for such supplies [to superintend Uieir manufacture and shipment.. This action of the Universal Company looks, to the expenditure in this country, iherefore, of a very large proportion of the capitol which will be required for the construction of the canal.
ANOTII Ell ACCOOJNT.
A Washington Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer says: Secretary Thompson, who has returned to the citv from Nt vv York, admits that he tendered his resignation as Secretary of the Navy, on the 1Mb instant, and the matter now rests with Mr. Hayes a.1 to when he shall turn his portfolio over to a mccessor. The Secretary says he ha* no idea who will be his eces.-or, but the impression is that some Indiana man who will accept the ofllee. for less than three months of Cabinet glory will be ailed to the front. John C. New was here last week, and this fact has led to a belief in some quarters that his visit may have had some connection with Uncle Dick's resignation. The Secretary says that up to the time he left New York the Panama Canal Company had subscrip rions aggregating f120,000,000. The American branch of the Panama Company will have its headquarters in New York. The Secretary declined to say how much money has been subscribed by American financier* to M. I)e Lcssep's project. Scligman & Co., Drexel,Morgan & Co. and Winslow, Lanier & Co. are members of the De Lesseps American Committee. These houses have a very high standing in American financial circles, and their advice as to the merits of the Inter-Oceanic Canal project as an investment would undoubtedly have great influence witlv moneyed men.
SECRETARY THOMPSON'S Succnssor. BiHpeelal to the Indianapolis Journal WASHINOTON, December 12.—Secretary Thompson said to your correspondent tonight that he expected to be able to turn over the Navy Department to his successor inside of ten days. It seems highly probable that Mr. John W. Hogg, the present chief clerk of the department, will be made Secretary.
EDISON.
He Claims that his Electrio Light Not a Failure-
He is Working Hard and Will Soon Furnish aBetter and Cheaper Light That Will set
Aside Gas-
NKW YORK, 13.—The electric light is again taking possession of the public mind. Thomas A. Edison, the well known imventor says I am preparing at test for the sub division of electric lighand will soon have it already. I am al ready satisfied but I wish to show the gentlemen who are to put tlieir money in this thing, its practical working before they lake"the step. There is to be no guess work about it. We will know exactly the cost of every thing bifore tve go ahead. Because I have been a few months perfecting this thing, the public said Iliad failed. Tliey forgot there are millions of dollars invested in gas, and they must not cxpect one little Jerseyman to revolutionize the light of the world and render all this capital useless. The light I produce is belter and cheaper, and those are the two qualities that will kill gas. Resides, there is no dirt from my light, no danger from escaped gas or combustion. The light is incendcscent, simple light, produced by the impact of electric particles upon carbon. It is a clear steady, untlickering blaze, and posseeses none ot those disagreeable peculiarities which the public have come to associate with the idea of electric light gained from those distressingly glaring balls which you sec suspended in front of theatres and other buildings. The difficulty hitherto has laid in the sub-division of the light so as to bring its application within rcacli of money. A great many writers upon the subject have declared this to be impossible but it is not so. I have proved it that the electric light may be furnished at a cost of something like $300,000,000 less than it would have cost by the original method. I calculate the city of New York can be lighted by my method at a cost of something like $2,000,000 which is a very reasonable amount. My light will be perfected before a great while, I am working very hard now.

TELTLLK HAUTE, IND.—THURSDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1880
Holds Forth for a Short Time in Clay County.
George Scott a Negro Eavisher, Tak. en From Jail at Brazil
By One Hundred and Twenty Men, and Hung to a Tree Close By
How They Opened the Jail Doora With Crowbars
Special to tho Indianapolis fienttnel. HRA/.IL, Ind., Dec. 12.—About 2 o'clock this morning, when the citizens of our quiet little city were in the midst of their slumbers, Judge Lynch convened his supreme tribunal at our Coonty Jail impaneling about 120 jurors, who, with cold-chisels and sledge-hammers, cut the locks and doors of the Jail asunder and took therefrom one George Scott, a sad-dle-colored negro, who committed a rape upon a white woman, who resides about five miles from the city, on last Friday a week ago, and convcyed liini to a beech tree, 100 yards away and hung him to a limb, where he was found dead this morning. Tho outrage was committed upon the lady by the negro in daylight, while the husband was away from home. It appears that the negro was at work on the farm for the man. After committing the outrage, he took from the lady, whom he had almost killed with an ax, a gold watch and chain worth about $75, besides some money that was about the house, and left for parts unknown. The husband of the outraged woman set about to capture the villian, and telegraphed to the several Sheriffs and Marshals throughout the state, offering $50 reward for his arrcsft On the early train yesterday morning Mr. Fort, Marshal of Marion, Grant county, who had captured him, brought him and delivered him to our Sheriff. All day yesterday there was strong talk of lynching but the people hoped that the civil law would be left to take its course. As a precautions, however, the Jailer, after locking the prisoners in their cells last evening, delivered the keys to the Sheriff, who boards about half a mile away from the Jail, but this proved of no avail. Tho mom bora of IDO Court called Upon Mr. Baumunk, ex-sheriff, who is acting as Jailer, about 1 o'clock and demanded the keys, but when Mr. B. told them the keys were not in his possession they promptly notified him to retire to his room while they did tho work. There were four other prisoners in the jail at the time, two charged with larceny, one obtaining money under false pretenses and one for murder. Two of the prisoners made their escape when the cells were torn open—One, named Bunyan Tipton, charged with the larceny of some whisky and some money, and one named John A. Burget, charged with obtaining money through false pretenses The citizens to-day are somewhat excited over the matter. Most all think that the negro received only his just deserts, notwithstanding many of our people very much regret that the civil law was not permitted to take its legal courso.
BUSY BURGLARS.
They Entered Three Houses in Montrose Sunday Morning—
Those of Lawrence Heinl, Mr ham and Mr. Kyle.
JUDGE LYNCH {YELLOW JACK.
Gra-
That unusually quiet portion of the city known as Montrose was considerably excited Sunday morning by the plain facts that several houses had been visited by burglars.
At precisely 1 o'clock Sunday morning Mrs. Lawrence Heinl was awakened by strange noises. She arose at once, lit a lamp and proceeded to investigate. The kitchen window was found to be wide open. She then awoke Mr. II. who armed himself with a shot gun and a thorough search was made, but no one was found, as Mr. B. had fled for pastures new, no doubt having been frightened away before an entrance was effected, as nothing was missed.
The next place visited was Mr. Graham's. They opened the blinds there, took out a sash and laid it on a bed in a spare room. They then went to Mr. G.'s bed room, took his vest into the spare room, searched the pockets but found no money. They then returned for the pants but were frightened away by Mrs. G. who awoke and called to Mr. G. that some one was in the room.
Their next and most successful visit was at Mr. Jas. Kyles'. Here they also opened the blind, broke out a large window pane, broke off a limb of a pear tree and with it "hooked" out Mr. Kyles' vest and pants and succeeded in getting therefrom three $20 bills and silver to amount to $64.75 in all. His watch they left, also some receipts, etc. They also got Mrs. Kyles' dress which hung near the window and took from her $3.75. The family was then awaken ed and saw some men running across the field- MRS. L. HJUNL.

Arres'ed for Robbery
Thomas Gollifcr, a young man aged about 24, and living at Knightsville,complained to tiic police Sunday night at 10 o'clock that he had been robbed by Reuben R. Utter of $18. Utter is a well known charactcr in police circles, and has been arrested before on similar charges. Policemen Hay ward and Couahan arrested Utter about 11 o'clock Sunday night, lie was locked up in the station house. This morning a preliminary examination was held before Justice Cookerly, and the evidence being sufficient, the Justice discharged the prisoner. Gollifer testified that he went to the'Tip-Top' saloon last night, and inquired where he could get lodgings for the night. The bar-keeper, Chas. Rickett, referred him to Utter, who was standing at the bar, as a man who could take him just where he wanted to go. Gollifer followed Utter to a room over the corner of 2d and Main, and there was robbed of his money. He asked Utter to disgorge, and the latter threatened to throw him out of the window.
A Runaway Girl.
About the middle of September last Alice, a sixteen year old daughter of Mrs. Rogers, of Paris 111., came to this city to buy some articles of clothing. A week elapsed and Alice not returning, Mrs. Rogers began search for her. She could not be found here and her mother tried Ft. Wayne, Indianapolis, Lafyette and other cities in vain. She had almost givep her up as lost when she camc to this city last Saturday afternoon. She told her story to Constable St. John and Policeman Miller, and those two officers immediately set to work to find her. Yesterday morning they found the girl living with a tellow named Win Batson, at the St. Charles Hotel. They were living to-gether as man and wife". Mrs. Rogers took her daughter home yesterday afternoon.
Indicted for Embezzlement. J. W. Mand, the grocer, was inaicteu by the grand jury at its last sitting for embezzlement, in selling notes belonging to Mrs. Oliver Gregg to Chas. W. Hon, the brick-maker. Mrs. Gregg left the notes, which were for $200, in Mr. Mand's possession that he might borrow money on them for her. They were against Mrs. Sanford Shepler. Mr. Mand claims that Mrs. Gregg owed him money for groceries. The facts will come out on the triad and we hope to see Mr. Mand establish his innocence.
THE WABASH.
A Petition Asking for an Appropriation of $50,000 for its Improvement
Is Sent to Washington to Senator D. W- Voorhees.
[The following petition was sent to Washington today to Senator I). W Voorhees, to be by him placed where it will do most good. The signatures arc comparatively few in number but they are representative and were deemed sufficient. They were obtained by Mr. Samuel Shcwmaker who has been active in pushing this matter. Ten thousand could have been obtained here and tip and down the river.—Ei. GAZETTE]
To Your petitioners, residents of aud doing business in Terre Haute lnd., would respectfully petition for an appropriation of $50",000 to be expended in improvements of the Wabash river below aud above this point In support of the same they would present the following facts:
The traffic on the river, which before tho war was of very considerable proportions, has since fallen into decay through an accumulation of snags at a few points and the formation of bars at others. By the removal of these snags and the washing out of the bars by the construction of wing dams, both matters of easy accomplishment, the river for 75 miles below and 75 miles above this point can be made navagable 10 months in the year for light draft steameis.
There never has been a cent spent on the stretch of river refered to although the territory embraced in and to be benefited by it ia one of the largest revenue districts in the country.
It is a matter in wbich the people of a large belt of country on both sules of the river are deeply interested, as it affords the, only avenue (except by wagon) toamaiket for a large section and the cheapest for a still larger section Ten-thousand signatures in two states and a dozen counties could easily be ob taincd to this petition.
It is estimated by competent judges that three millions of grain would find a ii)nrket. Qvor ihis water way if itv navigation could be made reft-j«. ana sure, instead of depending in the. uncertain periods of high water.
The saving in the cost of transportation of grain and lumlier which would be affected by this improuement would each year amount to much more than the whole outlay by the Government.
This improvement, though in a measure local in its character at tho present, would be an indespensiblc feature of any general scheme in the future, having for its purpose the making of the river navigable to its mouth, and would diminish the cost of such improvement by the amount expended now. The amount asked for is based on an estimate made by the engineer in charge ol the snag boat Kwasind, which has been at work during the year last past on the lower river, and who is acquainted with the improvements needed in the portion of the river referred to in tbis petition.
For these reasons your petitioners, only a few out of several thousand, deeply and equally with them interested in the matter, but enough it is believed to call the attention ot your honorable body to a case which rests on its merits, would ask your favorable consideration of their prayer.

R. W. THOMPSON.
He Is fo Resign the Secretaryship of the Navy.
A Washington special to the Indianapolis Journal of this morning zays: There will be another break in President Hayes' cabinet before his administration closes. Secretary Thompson will at no late day resign the Navy Department portfolio. He has been fendered and will accent, when official tender is made, the position of president of the American branch of the DeLesseps Panama Canal Company. This position carries with it a salary of $25,000 per annum. The headquarters of the company will be in New York. The Secretary will be very careful in his acceptance of the position not to in any way embarrass the administration A9 regards the attitude President Hayes has assumed to the inter-oceanic canal in two of his messages to Congress. Of c»urse the Secretary's acceptance of the position tendered him will take him entirely from connection with the Indiana Senatorial contest.
