TWO SERIOUS CHARGES

Arrest of Edwin Hill, a Wealthy Farmer, For Rape and Incest 5?

From Tuesday'sDally. s.

This morning Hamilton Elliott, exmarket master, informed the police of the presence in the city ot Edwin Hill, a man who, it is charged, committed an outrage on his own step-daughter, a relative of Mr. Elliott's, one year ago last August. Hill is married and owns 240 acres ot land in Edgar county, 111. He lives at Ferrell station. Chief Vandever and Policeman Buckingham arrested Hill on east Main street and he desiring to see a lawyer they took him to an attorney's office where he remained in charge of a policeman in expectation of an indictment from the grand jury, before whom the case was taken. He expects to give bond and then return home. The forthcoming indictments are said to be for rape and incest, the crime being one act, and committed on a blood relative. Hill does not appear to be much disturbed by his arrest, but keeps a stiff upper lip and says nothing.

CYCLONE AT FRANKFORT.

A Lively Time For the Cole Circus.

From Saturday's Dally.

A special dispatch from Frankfort states thftt the Cole circus had a lively time yesterday, at 5 o'clock, at Frankfort. Just as the performance closed a cyclone struck the tent and ripped it all to pieces WagonB and buggies were overturned and to the wild roaring of the elements was added the screams, growls and cries of affrighted animals and wax works. Several trees were blown down and one man had his arm broken. Fortunately, Cole bad a new $2,500 tent along. He had intended to try and make the old tent do till July 4th.

Martha's Fault.

We have a friend whose initial is E. E. went to hear Martha, and was charmed with it—especially with the beautiful solo, "This is my future dwelling." In fact, E. was so struck with it, that for weeks afterwards, he was constantly humming or murmuring, "This is my future dwell-* icg," until kind but exasperated friends began to seriously inquire into the relative merits of different lunatic asylums.

But "it is a long lane that has no turning," E. has sung that song for the last time the happy occasion was last night, when he called upon his girl. They thought the old man was gone—but he wasn't, as E. can testify, to his sorrow When our dear friend had got so far as to take Evangeline upon his lap, he naturally became exhilarated. A melody of song leaped to his lips. Unconsciously, but somewhat exultantly, he murmured, "This is my future dwelling." Ot course the old man wasn't quite ready to take another boarder, and E. is now running a large bill for plasters and arnica at the drugstore. -i.

An important Decision.

Judge Chase, of the Logansport circuit court, has decided that the law formerly in force providing for the disposal at private sale of property which failed to find a bidder at the annual tax sales was unconstitutional.|This decision is believed to be the first one ever rendered in Indiana on this question. It it is upheld by the higher courts, it will be of the gratest importance. Previous to the repeal of the law in 1880, large amounts ot property were sold at private sale in every county in Indiana, and a decision to the effect that thes transactions were illegal will lead to great contusion.

Marriage.

Frank C. Fisbeck was, married last night to Miss Carrie Steing*at the latter's home five miles southeast "of the city on the Lockport load. Rev. Hoistmeyer officiated. There was quite a number- of friends and relatives present. An elegant supper was served and the newly married couple were the recipients of many presents. The affair was very agreeable and entertaining. Mr. Fisbeck will live for a while in the country until he can secure a suitable home in town.

A JUMP FOR LIFE.

The Desperate Condition of footed Burglar.

a Bare-

From Saturday's Daily.

The most interesting and excitiflgbf all the burglaries committeed here lately occurred this morning at No. 113 north Fourth street, east side. At 3:30 A. M. Mrs. David O'Brien, who resides in the northern part of the house, (the south part being occupied by Jerry Beal) was awakened by the footsteps of some one on the stairway leading from her bed room to the middle room below. She called to her husband, who immediately awakened, and then their attention was again attracted by the sudden flash of a lantern up the stairway. Convinced now that it was a burglar Mr. O'Brien made preparations for putting him out or capturing him. The burglar had gained access by climbing up on asummer kitchen and then entering the bed room through the window. The process "was very easy as the shed was not more than a man's rfeight from the ground and scarcely half that distance from the top of it to the window. A stairway led down into the first floor from this window. It was while the burglar was making his way down this. stairway that he made the noise which attracted Mrs. O'Brien's attention.

The burglar heard the commotion above, or at least it is to be presumed that he did from the violent and hasty meas ures he took to effect an exit. A glass doorway which opens out into the summer kitchen stands at the foot of this stairway. Exit could be gained also by the front way, but that door was locked, and the burglar smashed the glbss in the servicable doorway and leaped out into the kitchen. The side door leading Irom the kitchen into the yard was locked, but there was a reer window. Through this the burghr jumped, first standing upon a table on which there were several delunci legs, overturning it and everything on it, on the floor. Then he was in the yard and free from all harm.

One can easily fancy the emotions ot O'Brien from his bedroom when he heard the "crash!" "crash!" for they sounded like the explosion of a cannon or the eruption of a volcano and could be heard all over the square. Mr. Moore, a neighbor, appeared in the front ot his place when he heard the commotion and spied a man standing on Mr. O'Brien's porch. Mr. Moore asked him what the disturbance was about. He made an evasive ancwer and left. He was no doubt an accomplice. The burglar was barefooted as the print of his foot, and particularly the big toe, was plainly visible on the summer kitchen.

Policeman Greg'gs shot at a barefooted negro early this morning near M. YY Stack's residence on the corner of Fourth and Wilson.

THE HAIL STORM.

HIS LAST SLEEP.

Saturday afternoon the incoming train on the Terre Haute and Worthington road ran over the body of Wm. McNamer near Cory. McJNamerwas lying across the track asleep. Both legs were cut off close to his body and he died almost instantly. The deceased lived with his family at. Bowling Green and was leader of a band. He gave lessons at Riley, and was so intemperate that, he was rarely given nny money. It was the custom to give him fifty cents to pay his fare to Saline and it appears that he rode to Cory and preferred to walk the rest of the way, spending twenty-five cents of the money for whiskey. His Saturday trip proved to be his last. His remains were taken to Cory.

ANOTHER MISSISSIPPI RIVEH BRIDGE. It is said that the recent visit of Presi dent Roberts and others at St. Louis was to discuss a project for a new bridge across the Mississippi.

The scheme embraces the Pennsylvania Company, the Baltimore and Ohio, the Chicago and Alton, and the Indianapolis ahd St. Louis, and the project is to build a bridge a little north of the city, at a point known as the chain of rocks, where a good foundation for piers can be obtained at a moderate expense. The proposition has been talked of before, but it is said to have taken more definite shape this time than any on previous occasion.

.'Political Notes.

CYRUS F. MCNUTT.

In another column announcement is made of the candidacy of Cyrus F. McNutt for Judge of the Superior Court of Vigo county, subject to the decision of the Democratic nominating convention. That Judge McNutt would make a splendid judge for our Superior Court, is a matter that will be admitted on all hands and at once. He is on« of the very best lawyers not only in Vigo county but in the state as well, and what is equally pertinent is a man of unimpeachable integrity who would lift the Superior Court or any court over which he might be called to preside into a plane where it would merit and receive the commendation of all intelligent and good citizens who are interested in seeing equal and exact justice done. Judge McNutt was for several yeurs a professor in the State University law school and won golden opinions while there from all who knew him. For seveial years past he has been the attorney for our Board of County Commissioners, and it is \yithin the knowledge of the GAZETTE that the tax payers and citizens of Vigo County owe him an enduring delt ot gratitude for the prompt and good advice to the commissioners, sound in law and sound in morals, by which on more than one occasion he has performed his duty, and served the commissioners and tiie people. Should he be nominated foi superior judge he would, run a gallani race, for he is deserving of the confidence of reputable persons everywhere, and should he be elected he would make one of the very best judges Vigo county ever had. It would be a pleasure to support a man of his attainments and his record for an office needing high abilities and good character for their discharge.

JAMES ALLEN.

Announcement is made elsewhere of the candidacy ot James M. Allen for Judge of the Superior Court of Vigo Co., subject to the decision of the Democratic nominating convention. Mr. Allen has been a citizen of Terre Haute so long and stands so high, toth as a citizen and an attorney, that it hardly seems possible for the GAZETTE to say anything about or in commendation of him which is not already known and thoroughly understood. He is known by all who know him at all as an able lawyer whose professional career, extending through many years here in our midst, has been onf ot which any one might well be proud, and should lie be elected Judge of the buperior Court there could be no doubt that he would perform the duties of that re sponsible office with credit to himself and to the advantage of the entire community.

WILLIAM R. MERCEB. I

In another column announcement is made of the candidacy ol Wm. R. Mercer lor County Clerk," subject to the decision of the Democratic nominating convention. Mr. Mercer is at present and for several years past has been living on his farm just north o" the city. Pre vious io that time, however, be was a resident of Terre Hautt and an extensive manufacturer of carriages, his factory being one of the institutions of Terre Haute. He also was a contractor and has done a great deal of work in that way. He has been an active and energetic member of the Democratic party and has done faithtul work for the organization. He enjoys an extensive acquaintance here in the city and over the county, and it is generally believed that, should he be chosen, he would make a .• trong race, and in the event of his election, of which there could not be much doubt, would make a splendid Clerk, AN EX-SOLDIER WANTS'COL. MCLEAN NOM­

INATED FOR CONGRESS.

To the Editor of the Gazette: In view of the dissatisfaction in the Republican ranks over Mr. Peirce's nomination for Congress, the writer will venture to offer a suggestion to the Democracy which may result to their profit if accepted, and acted upon favorably by their convention next week at Rockville, viz. nominate our townsman Col. W. E. McLean for Congress. A comrade beloved by all his army comrades who know him, as a Democrat in full sympathy with the men who stood with him, and by him during the war, and whose love, and friendship tor his ex-army comrades of all political faiths is without guile or dissimulation in his inter­

course with them on all occasions. A man whom we believe to be honest, and just, and who would, if elected, fairly and honorably represent the people of this district in his official capacity as their congressman, and would, we are sure, not pass his comrades "by on the other side,'' as Mr. Peirce has done. As a lawyer he is not found standing before, and defending the many questionable jobs that now so often disgrace our Courts and disgust the people with *he tarces and travesties on justice enacted therein. Now in the very prime of life, with a genial, social temperament peculiary fitting him for making friends among the people, his name occurs to the writer as the only one ami ng the prominent Democrats of this district who could beat Mr. Peirce. His army comrades will vote for him by scores all over the district, when they come to know him as we do herfc in Terre Haute. He can carry Vigo Co., by 1000 majority, and beat Peirce out of sight in Clay and Montgomery. Democrats nominate him, and you will get Republican votes needed to elect him.

EX-SOLDIER,

PRIMARIES.

The Democrats of the various wards and townships will meet iu convention next Saturday to select delegates to the county, state, congressional and judical conventions. It is impossible to cxagerate the importance of these meetings. Every Democrat should turn out and see to it that none but strong and true and good men are selected, men who will vote their convictions and cannot be influenced %v any consideration other th»n a sincere desire to select men for the various offices whom it will be a source of pride to honest Democrats to support.

SULLIVAN COUNTY.

The Township Conventions—Fourteen Votes For Shelton and One For '1 Davis.

From Monday's Daily

The Democrats of Sullivan county held their township conventions last Saturday to select delegates to the county convention which i* to be held in Sullivan on the 8th of July. The great feature of interest in the contest was over the circuit judgeship. Sullivan county will have fifteen delegates in that convention to iw ewty-thrce in Vigo. Great interest was tuki ii in t'uin mailer. Of the fifteen delrga'es fr"iu Sullivan fourteen will be for M.e ton and one for Davis This is unJurMnod as being'the status ot affairs, although the delegates to tbe judicial con-v-i.tion were not chosen but will be selected for each township by the county oiivention. The townships were all for ohtlton except Gill, in which Merom is situated, and it instructed for Davis- an instruction which the county convention will recognize and follow, although that convention, it is understood, will be overwhelmingly for Shelton. Twenty votes will be a majority in the judicial convention, so that Shelton must get six votes in this county to be nominated and Davis must get nineteen to be nominated.

The delegation is understood as being solid for Wm. Waggoner for Prosecuting Attornty, which will give him the entire vote of the county for that office.

Mate Board of Equalization. Tha State Board of Equalization met, yesterday morning at Indianapolis and organized by electing Governor Porter, president, and John W. Coons secretary. An order was passed requiring all railroad companies to have their official reports filed by the 26th inst., gi'ving notice that if they desired to make any statement before the board, next week would be set apart for that purpose. The oath of of fice was administered to the members of the board, consisting of the Governor, Lieutenant-governor, Secretary of State, Auditor of State, Treasurer of State asd Attorney-general, after which they adjourned until next Monday.

A School Entertainment.

On Friday June 0th. inst. the M'otint Oliver School in Pierson Township, taught by Miss Laura Ae^er closed witn a sumptous repast, to say that it was a grand affair and highly enjoyed bv all who participated in it is putting it* in a mild form—it was immense.

This is tbe third term Miss Laura has taught in this district and she has by her kind and gentle deportment and higb educational faculties endeaved herself both to the pupils and patrons of this school and theie seems to be but one general desire among us and that is that she may still be our instructesa. The affair tak 11 in all was the finest th has ever occurred in Pierson Township.

AHA1GHT-F0L THING.

The Charge Made Against Trof £. AHaight of Vir.C3aneiWlS

The Board of Trustees From Vincennes Investigating the Matter To-day.

How the Reporter was Bluffed.

From Tuesday's Daily.

GAZETTE readers are familiar with the charges made against Prof. E A. Haight of the Vincennes University. Briefly^ stated they are: That he left bis wife and family at Vincennes and took a jaunt to Chicago with Miss Adams, one of the teachers. That the guilty pair stopped off here on June Oth. That the amorous professor registered at the Terre Haute House as "E. H. Albert and lady of Chicago," and were assigned room No. 17 which apartment they occupied together, afterward going to Chicago.

Tbe board of Trustees of the Vincennes University are now in the city closeted in room No. 47 at the Terre Haute House investigating tbe charges. Their exarninalion is being taken down in ?hort-band by Mr. Godlcrrt of tbe Vandalia offices. Appended are tbe member* of the Board.

George G. Redly, Jf. F. Malott, R- G. Evan* and 8, N. Chambers. Beside these ProftstorHaight is also here and George G. Ramsddl, Superintendent of tbe Vinctnnta Gas Works. George is the fello-w who saw the Professor and Miss Adams passionately embracing each other in the palace car, of which tbey thought tbey were the sole occupants, and who,though he did not say anything at the time, "was awfully shocked." Will C. Johnson is attorney for Haight.

A GAZETTII reporter examined the two registers on the hotel book, and it is quite evident that the party who wrote "E. H. Albert and lady, Chicago," on June 0th, is the same as he who to-day wrote "E. A. Haight, Vincennes." But as to this point no denial is made. The Professor, who wears a heavy beard and has some of the ear marks of "a gray," so we are informed, tays he was nervous when he made that signature. The reporter did not much expect to be admitted to the Investigating room, but thinking, perhaps, if the investigation was to be thorough, the Board would like to satisfy the public on that point, and believing at all events that many things might be had by the asking, he sent up his card with this written on it: "If no objection, would like to get the result of tbe investigation. Let bearer know if 1 may be admitted."

In a few moments the porter returned tbe card with this: "Our commission requires us to conduct our investigation in private."

Since the reporter could not get into the committee room, the only resource left was to tackle the witnesses as they came out.

Conductor Jim Baker and his brakeman, McMakin, were among the first witnesses examined.

They say that Mr. Evans asks the qu6Stions for the prosecution and that Mr. Will C.Johnson, Haights Attorney, cfossqucstions for the defense.

Baker testified that Haight and Mi6S Adams were on his train that they were very spooney, so much so that be supposed they were a newly married, rural couple.

McMakin, the brakeman, stated that the detendant Haight asked him what was the best hotel here. At various times Miss Adams rested her head on HaiglU's shoulder and they were very affectionate. This afternoon Walter J. Lewis, Adams and Steen of the E. & T. H. offices are being examined.

Messrs. Baiiey of the Vincennes News and Adams of the Vincennes Commercial are in town in the interest of their respective journals and are too clever fellows to have been shut out of the Star chamber.

"THE OLD, OLD STORY."

A Wife Gets a Verdict Against Her Husband.

A good story comes to us. The other evening, a wo'man who h8s lately married, accosted a policeman and asked him to accompany her to a questionable house, which she said her husband had been frequenting. He had not come home that evening at all, and as it was then about eleven o'clock and there being nothing that could possibly detain him only something wicked, she came to the conclusion that she would, like Windom's Investigation Committe, go out and tree the coon. The policeman tried to persuade her that she had better retura home and not provoke a collision at that hour of the night, but she was steadfast in her purpose, and the officer reluctantly followed her. Just as they were tiearing the place, the woman partially drew back, pulling the policeman along with her, and the two peered out oft he darkness at two forms that emerged from the house in question and were coming directly toward tbem. When they came up closer it was seen that one of tbe forms was that of a man and the other that of a woman. A few seconds later the infuriated wife made a dash at the woman and before the policeman had recovered from the suddenness of the shock or fully realized what it was all about, she had her on the ground going for her in the fashion lately approved by Dr. Mary Walker and a select coterie ot female hard hitters. The recreant husband (for such he was) broke and ran when the trouble commenced and wasn't seen any more that night nor has the woman he was with been seen for a longer period, for it isthe opinion of the policeman that she received enough to last her two months or longer before he could interfere and save her from further damage.

Temperance in Maxville. From Tuesday's Daily.

Webb Casto says they had a big time at Maxville last night listening to a temperance lecture by Mrs. Smith of tbe Army of Salvation.

THIS is the longest day in the year.
