Rem Mentor* Dally

Yesterday afternoon Daniel Hirzel aged 17, the only son of Daniel Hirsal, the well-known carpenter and resident of north Ninth street, was instantly killed north of the city in Otter Creek township by the accidental discharge of a muzzleloading shot gun. The circumstances of the deplorable affair are fully given in the testimony at the Conner's inquest printed below. The parents of the unfortunate boy are almost firenaied with grief and the profoundeet sympathy of the community goes out to them in their sore affliction.

TESTIMONY 1DOII THE COBONEB. Leonard Lyne, son of ex-Mayor Lyne. testified: I am It years old. I went hunting with the deoeased jeeterday (Sunday) morning. We took a hand car from the I. St. L. road near Sixth street. We went out as far as Grant. We then put the car on the track of tbe coal road and went over to where it crosses the Logansport toad. We then changed it to the Logansport track and went'north two or three miles. We took the ear off the track and went into the woods. We hunted until about 3 o'clock, when we returned to the hand car and sat down on it toeat The deceased was sitting on the car st the southeast corner. Theodore Curtis came along and asked us what luck we had. Ha said wild pigeons had been plenty there a week before, rwo more men came along and stopped to talk to Mr. Curtis. I was sitting on the end of the car opposite the deceased with my back to him. The guns were Iving on the car with the but ends toward me with a game bag on top of them. I heard some one say: "There goes some wild pigeonsP I turned and looked south on the railroad. I saw a pigeon. I turned my head beok again and heard the report of a gun. When I turned I conldnotaee the deceased.. I got up, and then I saw him lying in the ditch at the end of the car. I took a tin can, got some water in it and bathed his head. I saw a wound on his left aide. I think I heard him groan alter be was shot. He did not spoak after receiving the wound. His left hand was covered with blood, as though he had thrown it up over the wound. We sent word to town as soon ssweeould. About Ave minutes after the shooting I looked at mv watch, it was then 30 minutes to 4 o'clock. I may be mistaken as to the direction it which the guns pointed as they lay in the car.

Walter & Wittenberg testified: I am 90 years of age. The deceased, Leonard Lyne and myself went hunting yesterday morning. The deceased had a double barrelled, muzzle-loading shot gun. Lyne the same kind oT a gun. I had a musket About 3 o'clock we returned to the hand car. Hirzel laid his gun on the south side of the car with the muzzle pointing east. I don't know whether he sat down or not. Mr. Curtis came up and talked to us and afterward two other men came up and talked with Mr. Curtis. Some one exclaimed, "There goes some pigeons!" I heard the deceased make a move of some kind. I looked down the track and saw several pigeons flying. Almost at the same time I heard the report of a gun. I jumped from the aide of the car and saw the deceased falling to the ground. His right hand waa stretched toward me. I caught his hand. I kneeled down beside him and raised his head. I think he groaned once and in a few seconds he was dead. I do not know whether or not he had his gun in his hand when he fell.

Thedore Curtis testified: I am a former and live in Otter Creek township, ten miles north of town. Wittenberg was sitting near the northwest corner of the handcar. Lyne was on the northeast corner and the deceased wss sitting on the southwest corner eating an apple, when I came up. The other two were eating buns or biscuits. Two ether men came along and I talked to them a abort time. Hirzel got up from the band oar and was standing against the end of it. Wittenberg said: ''Let us go back and ga\ soraeoftboee meadow larks." Hirzel said: "Well." Pointing southeast, I said:" This is a good pigeon run." In about two mioutes I saw some pigeops coming toward us and said: "There goes some now." Wittenburg turned around. At that instant I heard tbe report of a gun. I looked around towards where Hiizel waa standing, but could not see him for the smoke. I heard something rattle on the car. I sprang to the side of the car and found that Hirzel had shot himself. Lyne called him by name several times. The deceased's gun was lying en the car an the south side with the muzzle pointing east, with the hammers down. Before the report it had been lying on its side. The muzzle was abjut fifteen inches from the end of the car where the deceased had been standing.

Dr. T. W. Moorhead testified: I waa called to see the deceased. I found him dead. I found a gun ahot wound in the left aide, an inch below and a little to the left of the nipple. The charge passed in an upward direction, completely destroyng the heart and lodging in the right Jung. Death waa instantaneous. nivniMr.

Ae coroner returned a verdict of "death by accidental shooting."

Ha ia Tkrrn Again! a Tm 8«raaty Hait—Tfea Gait Smashed to Zindlinf.

hwa Mondays Dally.

Edward 8. Crain this morning met with a serious aoeident and one which narrowly mieeed proving fatal. He ie well known young business man, a son of tbe late Judge John G. Crain, and at present connected with the gas company in which bis father was a considerable atookholder. He ia fond of horaea and ia the owner of one of the fleeteet footed trotfers in tbe city. He, can be seen nearly every fine evening driving hia mare to a newly purchaaed cart. It haa been his pleasure to test her speed as opportunity offered and dwellers in the south end particularly have become familiar with tbe spectacle or his turnout whixzing past.

But his mare haa an unoertain temper, infirmity not uncommon in high met* tied and faat animals. Several times ahe haa run off, though hitherto these escapades have been unattended with serious results.

This morning Mr. Crain waa out driving. He was accompanied by Miaa Summers, an adopted daughter of his mother's. He had first driven home and was on his way up Sixtb street to Beauchamp's livery stable where hie horse is kept. When in tbe vicinity at Poplar atreet the animal took fright and went flying up Sixth street at the top of her speed. It was impossible to stop her and the best that could be done was to keep in the middle of the road and avoid collisions. It seems strange that ahe did not make a auddeu turn into the stable and bring on the eataetroph'e at tbat point. But she kept on op tbe etreet, crossing Ohio and wabash streets in auoeesaion and auooessfully. Between Mulberry and Eagle streets a cart loaded with ahavinga waa met coming south. It waa on the eaat aide of tbe street, the left aide for it, and the boy Wbo waa driving made no attempt to get out of the way. When, he approached thia cart Mr. Crain made an attempt to croea the atreet-car traok, but the wheela eaugbt and in fear of turning over he wheeled to the right and attempted to go between the shavings cart and tbe curb. In this he was uitsueeeesfUl. A wheel struck the curbing and he was thrown out and against a tree, The cart went crashing against the tree and was strewn in fragments about where he lay uaconsoioue. Persons passing picked his unoonselous form from the ground aad carried him into a house. Medical assistance was summoned. He was soon restored to consciousness and It waa found tbat while aeverely bruised he bad had no bonea broken and sustained no internal injuries. He was taken to his home and in a few daya will be on'tbe streets again.

Hia handsome aew cart for which he had paid |17B is a total wrcck. The three minute mare came scatheless through the raoket, if the irreparable damage to her moral oharaeter he excepted. The less said the better about the moral oharaeter or a mare that will make a matinee of a runaway.

I PRIZE FI6HT AT PITTSBURG.

A Daape tate Eaoeunfer Between two Pugilists.

PrrtsiitrtUj. Pa.,Oct. Is.—A desperate bare knuckle prize fight for $800 a side took place at White hill this morning at early daybreak. The pugilists, Thomas Maioney and Charles McCoy, are well known in sporting circles. For three or four weeks past it has been known that a fight had been quietly arranged. The ring wss twenty-four feet. The fight was governed by the London priza ring rules. In the first round McCoy displayed! 'the most science, but Malonfy exercised considerable caution and kept well outside the reach of McCoy. The round ended by both men clinching and falling, McCoy undermost. In the second round both men exhibited good slugging proclivities, though McCoy had tbe test of it, Maioney being knocked off hie pins. In tbe tseventb round McCoy was knocked down by aright hander, which bruised his jaw badly. The eighth round was in favor ot McCoy, who punished hi% opponent terribly. Maioney was now beaten. In the eleventh round he was sent flying across the ring by a left hander from McCoy. The blow landed on the victim's neck, below the right ear, and knocked him senseless. Wben he failed to come to time McCoy was declared the winner, after fighting thirty-live minutes. Both men were terribly punished.

A Singular Idea

seems to prevail with many persons that in 3ase of a t&tal accident tbe body of tbe deceased must not be moved until the arrival of the coroner. Of course there is no such law, and even tf tlier* were it would be a dead letter but the idea wus so firmly fixed in the minds of those present alvesterday's sad affair, thai the body was left for along time just where it lay, and Mrs. Curtis, who came to bathe the hands and face, and close tbe eyes ot tbe deceased, was icmofistrated with f°r doing even so much.

PAua, 111., Oet. lt^-[GA*UTra apeeial]—A shooting occurred on anr street Saturday morning tbat haa ralaed unuaual excitement ia our city aad the end ia net yet. One, Themae Smith, his brother Marshall, Geo. Collier and others, were congregated, tnd 'tis said, were "talking politics." Some rougk words passed and in an instant Tom Smith drew a revolver, and fired three shots in quick succession at Collier, grazing him, but inflicting no eeriooe wound. At this, Bod Sllet, seised Smith and tried.to wrest from him nis revolver. Marshall Smith seized Ellet and threw him on the ground, while ne lay on his back Tom put the revolver to Ellefs breast and fired. He also commenced firing at the crowd tbat began to press him. A. Owens had some trouble in arresting him and several in the orowd were bit Win Stotts in the leg, another In the arm and a third had a ball through hie hat. Both the Smiths were arrested and taken to jail. EUett was taken to a hotel where hia wound was examined by Dr. Armstrong and others. The ball entered the upper part of the left side ot the breast. -It is not expected that be will live through tbe night. Ellet was a stranger to the parties and interfered to save tbe life of others and thereby lost his own. Tbe Smitha area hard set and have been engaged in brawls and fights frequently before.

Petty Thieving.

[Editor GAZETTE] —Among the neighbors ot Mr.Littleton, who has been infdisted before the grand jury for shooting a boy in his melon patch, there has been a desire to make some expression ot the oondition of thinga to those who seem to justify these raids of the beys as a barmland smart diversion jrhich public opinion hss always approved and endorsed. There was a time, it ia true, when melon steeling was regarded as a sport, and the neighbor who could not say tbat tbe boys had been in his patch wss always disappointed. He felt alighted because he did not get tbe notoriety which rightfully belonged to a good melon producer. Melons were then grown expressly for home use and for rs. And boys were thai scarce, say a

If dozen in"a neighborhood, and tbe results of tbe whole business were tri fling. These time* are gooe. Melons are now raised for the markets and to steal or destroy them is to ro* the farmer ot bis living. Many producers psy high rents, others pay extreme taxes, and it ia only by farming these more profitable oropetbat any headway can be made- in the business. It is but natural that these men should desire the results ot their lsbor, and tbat in tbe most productive channels.

But there is another wrong impression among many. The question is: "What do a few watermelons amount to, aoyhow, that there should be so much sdo ado about them?" Well, there is a principle involved—but this every farmer would gladly forego. It is tbe loss ot which they complain, not a small loss, but a great one. A lew small dollars will not meet their losses. It amounts to hundreds in my own neighborhood each year. It is not an occasional, but almost constant thing. Not by a few small bojt, but by hundreds ol them. Ne one can appreciate the amount of lose and annoyance by this vandalism* but by being its victim for a time. The condition of things ie a depreciation of at least 20 per cent on our property. If our men did not stay in the open field all nifiht with these crops, they would be robbed and brought to poverty. Not only melons, but all kind^ of fruit and vegetables are taken.

And we have but little defense before the law, lawyers and virtuous people to the contrsry notwithstanding we have tried prosecution time and again. These hoodlums enjoy being captured, for nothing comes ol it, and they get a free ride io town. Twenty thieves can take twenty melons and the owner has no resource. For years around this city wo have been obliged practically to stand guaid over our crops, and often then, we have not been able to prevent the defiant intrusion of these insolent marauders. We have asked for protection and have been denied it. We pay tax, work for a living, and attend to our own business, yet we are not protected by the law and are forbidden to protect ourselves.

Whatever may be thought of Mr. Lit tleton's method his personal defense ot bis propi-rty is a necessity. We have all known him for years, and no man is more honorable in bis dealing or more industrious or attends more exclusively to his own business, or is more aindly disposed towords alt Aen. His prosecution seems to have venom in it, and its success will embolden a lawless class to overran our farms, and it will bo better to be a thief than ac honest workingman.

Great Excitement aad Same Bloed Shad -A Fall Vote. CmciKKATi,Oct 14 —The city is feverish with excitement. Many amate have been made at the polls foi illegal voting ant) challenging is carried on to a greater extent then ever before. Slight collisions have taken place ia several wards, but the worse so far haa been in the Sixth ward, where a large number of negroes and Irish vote, aad where early this morning one of Pinkerton's deteotive was badly beaten. A negro known as Foxy Anderson was killed there ths morning. In an encounter with a deputy marshal tbe report came from the Fifteenth ward that the deputy sheriffs had overpowered the deputy marshals and were refusing to allow any negroes to vote. The United States marshal sent an additional number deputy maishals to the scene. The weather is delightfully cool and pleasant and a very large vote has been polled. The men about the polls say there ia very little scratching. Everywhere great earnestness is manifested.

It was remarked by Judge Kelley, of Pennsylvania, after canvassing the state, that he had never seen* such intense interest manifested in polities since 1840. All reports received up to this hour indicate that tbis intensity of feeling eontinues. An enormous vote is being polled, each party striving not only to get in all tbe votes but to get in early. It is understood that Ohio is regarded as the battle ground, and on the issue of to* day will depend the conduct of the hext three weeks of campaign. The polls are being closely watched, the deputy sherifb and police repiesenting the Democrats and deputy U. S. Marshals and citizens oommittew the Republicans. A large number of repeaters have already been arrested by the deputy marshals and they are being guarded in the government building. A number of these wen brought in a patrol wagon by tbe police which added to tbe excitemeat. There haa bees considerable shooting in tbe Sixth, Eighth, Eighteenth and Nineteenth wards. Ia the latter a deputy mental shot a deputy sheriff in the head, causing a severe wound but not fatal. Li ihe Eighteenth (Democratic) ward there ia gnat excitement because of the lane number of Republican foin haiBt nollm

gress. Only scattering returns need bv expected to-night, but these will indicate the drift.

The report that Fox Anderson was killed in the Sixth ward is not true. He had an altercation but net aeriously hurt. Large crowds are gathered at many polling places, and tbe air is full of rumors of expected outbreaks. The polling of votes continues raDidly and in many places more than bait the total vote waa cast before noon. In the U. £. Court room Commissioners Harper and Probasco have already committed 27 men, charged with illegal voting. Shortly before noon A1 Roasjell in the Eighteenth ward, who had been flourishing a pistol about the vicinity of the polls, was SHOT BT A COLORED DEPUTY MABSKFLL anddied instantly. At noon the poll was proceeding quietly in nearly all the wards. There is a large crowd about the U. S. government building attracted by curiosity and by tbe almost constant arrival of men arrested for illegal voting.

At 2:30 the city continues to be fairly quiet. Nearly a hundred men have been brought before the United States ccmmissioners for illefral voting aad havebeen sent to jail or releaaed on bond. Habeas corpus proceedings are used in some instances to get tbem out of jail. Arrests are also made'by the police and deputy sheriff and the same course ia pursued to release their.prisoners. There has been no general disturbance since tbe rush at the Eighth ward polls and confidence is growing that the day may pasa peaceably. Still there are fears of violence about the time ot ihe cloeing of the polls at 6 p. x. Tbe indications point rather to peaoe. It is evident thai fhe vote will be the largest ever sast. Similar reports continue to come from outside point*.
