EDITOB EDMUNDS B1§-1ILECTED. The spring election of 1877 resulted in a substantial Democratic victory. Editor Edmunds was again the Democratic nominee for Mayor, Luther G. linger (then a councilman from the Second ward) the Republican, and William Dreusicke the National. Edmunds had a plurality of 159. J. B. Tolbert (Dp won the Clerkship by 70 over J. M. Wildy (R) and J. P. Brennan (N). Hugo Duenweg (R) has 261 more votes for the Treasurership than T. B. Snapp (D.) and C. W. Ross (N.), and Al. Buckingham (R.) got the Marshalship by 48 over Dan. Fasig (D.) and B. F. Reagan (N). The Democrats decidedly got the best of the councilmanic fight. In the First ward Scudder (D.) had 95 more votes than Forster (R.) in the Second Slaughter (N. and supported by the Democrats) had 25 more than JefEers (R) in the Third Coffin (D.) had 42 over Estabrook (R) in the Fourth Clutter (D. won by 142 over Gilman (R.) and Piper (N.) in the Fifth Smith (N. and D.) had 8 majority over Samuel McKeen, and in the Sixth Handick had a plurality of 27 over Glover (R.) and Tressle (N). The new council, which was Democratic, promptly "turned the rascals out" and made Schell Fire Chief, Harper Citv Attorney, Stack Chief of Poliee, Cox Street Commissioner, Thomas Station House Keeper and Maehler Market Master. Marshal Buckingham appointed Vandever as his deputy and the Democrats signalized their return to power by putting BilL Howard, a colored man, on the police force. Mayor Edmunds died not two months after his re-election, and in an election to fill the vacancy Henry Fairbanks (R) beat Asa M. Black (D.) 8 votes. Councilman Schloss was Acting Mayor during the vacancy. Six exMayors acted as pall-bearers at the Edmunds funeral. On April 8,1878, after serving nine months of his^term, Mayor

Fairbanks died. THE NATIONALS SCOOP THINGS. It was at the township elections of April, 1878, that the Nationals began showing some strength. Previous to that time they 'confined themselves to 'scooping things on the Pacific coast" and occasionally carrying a back precinct in Clay county. In those days it didn't require much to fire the Greenback enthusiasm of Major Smith, and when the Nationals astonished the natives with unexpected strength and elected their candidate for Township Trustee the Express was fairly delirious with joy. Even up to this late day it is said that the gallant Greenback quartette, Hook, Hudson, Holmes and Reif, marched up Main street on the uight of the election two abreast and one deep singing a Glory Hallelujah to tJie Fiat King. The vote for Township Trustee was: B. J. Abbott (N.) 1,797 Fred. Fisher (D.) 1,653 Michael Byers (R) 1,007 Abbott's plurality, 144. Jehu Johns (N.) had a small plurality over Patrick Osborne (D.) for Assessor. There were so many candidates for Justices of the Peace that a voter had to sit up nights and commit to memery the names of the fellows he wanted to vote for. The Democratic candidates were B. F. Clark, Wharry, Schomelil and Cookerly. The Republicans were A. B. Salsich, Conrad Myer, Stanley Bobbins and J. L. Humaston The Nationals were B. Holmes, L. B. Denehie, Nathaniel Alien and Jacob Steinmehl. The successful men were Cookerly, Schomehl, Denehie and Steinmehl—two Democrats and two Nationals. Eleazer Gibson, who afterward distinguished himself in another field, was a National candidate for Constable and John S. Eichelberger, who since turned to be a Republican, was a Democratic candidate. In the country, however, the Nationals achieved their greatest successes. They carried eight townshipsHarrison, Pierson, Prairie Creek, Sugar Cveek, Nevins, Lost Creek, Fayette and Prairieton. The Democrats carried three—Riley, Linton and Otter Creek. Honey Creek alone remained true to the Republican standard. 7J

A NATIONAL MAYOR.

In the following month Joseph M. Wildy became the nominee of the jubilant Nationals for the unexpired term for Mayor, causcd by the death of Mayor Fairbanks. Wildy was elected on a close vote, as follows: Wildy (N) 1,628, W. K. Edwards (R) 1,605, A. Link (D) 1,462. But the Democrats gathered up the substantial fruits, electing four of the six councilmen. The vote in the different wards was: First— Schloss (D) 365, McKeen (R) 337. M«E1fresh (N) 224. Second—Cruft (R) 368, Dickhout (D) .213. Reichert (N) 120. Third—Apman (D) 302, Polk (N) 368, Feltus (R) 116. Fourth—White (D) 323, Walker (N) 257, Briggs (R) 249. Fifth— Harris (N) 297, Grace (D) 246, Holmes (R) 112. Sixth—Mohan (D) 362, Owen (N) 260, Lockard (R) 82. This left the Republicans with one lone member in the council. The Nationals had three and the Democrats eight. On the oouncilmanic vote the Democrats had 637 majority over the Republicans and 375 over the Nationals.

THE JUDICIAL BOW.

The all-absorbing question when the Democratic county convention met on May 18 was the Davis-Patterson judicial contest. The Davis followers in this county, incensed at the action of the Sullivan county convention in instructing its delegates to vote as a unit for Patterson, introduced a resolution instructing the Vigo delegates for Davis. Judge McNutt made a speech favoring the adoption of the Davis resolution, which was opposed by Dr. Roberts and E. V. Debs, but the convention passed it by-a large majority. When the judicial convention met at Sullivan on July 6 everybody expected a great big row. And there was. The proceedings were disgracefully disorderly. After two hours passed in fruitless endeavors to organize, during which the most tumultuous scenes were enacted, the convention broke up in disorder. The Davis wing left the convention hall in a body and adjourned to the court house yard below, where they organized by electing Judge Carlton chairman and John E. Lamb secretary. They plaoed Davis in nomination for Judge by acclamation. In the meantime the Patterson men up stairs put Judge Patterson in nomination with like unanimity. Both conventions nominated J. P. Patten for Prosecutor. Both conventions claimed to be regular and both candidates had a large and enthusiastic following. Thinking they would improve the opportunity occasioned by the Democratic split the Republicans nominated John T. Gunn, of Sullivan, which made three candidates in the field.

THROUGH THE ROLLS.

A Horrible Accident at the Brazil

Ro"'"gMU1-

INDIANAPOLIS, April 18.—A News special from Brazil, Ind., says that during the noon hour Patrick Craddock, boss roller in the rolling mill, tried to fix the:set screws on the rolls. By some means he was drawn through the rolls and his body mashed to a pulp. No one witnessed the affair. Craddock was 40 years old and leaves a wife and one child.

AMALGAMATED ASSOCIATION,

Thirty-two delegates presented credentials. The object is to fix a scale of wages which will be submitted to the iron and steel manufacturers next month. No definite conclusion had been reached at 2 o'clock this afternoon and it is expected the convention will last far into the night.—[Two delegates from Terre Haute are in attendance. Ed. GAZ.]

DECUNEDWIFH THANKS.f^j

Mr. Lawion Declines the Russian Mission. WASHINGTON, April 21.—Mr. Lawton has declined the Russian mission. An intimate friend received a telegram from him today requesting him to convey to the President his desire to decline. It is understood that he does this relieve the President of all embarrassment, and to avoid a possible controversy in the Senate next session. When Mr. Lawton came here frfro weeks ago, the friend who today received his message of declination said to him that St. Petersburg was not a particularly attractive place. He reminded Mr. Lawton that one or two American ministers had been frozen to death at that-frigid post. He represented to him that the place was not worth a cent.

Lawton replied that he had not come to fight for it, but on the contrary he had come to say to the President that he wished to relieve him from all embarrassment. He did say this to the President the next day. The President responded that he proposed to act in accordance with the opinion of his Attorney General, to whom the question had been referred. The opinion was favorable to Mr. Lawton's political disabilities and that the 14th amendment could not and did not restore them. Upon this opinion there can be no douht the President would have appointed Mr. Lawton had the latter not declined the place. The Russian mission may be offered to Gen. John B. Gordon, of Georgia.

Hon. Daniel W. Voorhees is in the city, on his way from Kentucky, where he has been on professional business, to his home in Terre Haute. He has many personal friends here in both parties who are always glad to greet him. There are few more warm-hearted men than he, nor are there any who are more willing to do a friend a favor. This is one secret of his remarkable success in life.—[Evansville Journal.

The Skeleton of a Union Soldier. PETERSBURG, Va., April 17.—The skeleton of a Union soldier has been ploughed up on a farm about one mile from this city, in close proximity to the old fortifications. Every vestige of the uniform had crumbled away, but the shoes were almost perfect, and had apparently been but little worn. By his side lay his musket, belt, and cartridge box, the latter half filled with bullets. The belt plate and cartridge box bore the initials"U.S."

THE fire this afternoon was at Peter Frisz' residence, Thirteenth and Yandalift. Damage not serious.

An Eloquent Address to the Loyal Legion,

Delivered Just Before the Adjournment of That Body at Chi- .' cago.

CHICAGO, April 18,—Immediately before the adjournment of the Congress of the Loyal Legion here last night, exPresident Hayes adjourned the session with the following remarks: "COMPANIONS: This will close the business of the Congress.. I am greatly obliged to the representatives of the various commanderies for their kindness and charity toward me during the performance of unfamiliar duties. I trust that tne acquaintances now made, the fraternal regard which may date back to the meeting of this Congress, are to continue as long as we shall live. It is certainly true, of this war, that it stands alone in the wars of all historv as the one war that accomplished all, completely and exactly, that the friends of the right sought in that war, acoom-

Elished

and completed while they were ving. It established the union it maintained the supremacy of the general government it abolished slavery. This was all that we then thought of. Think of the war and its results. The vanquished now admit that in every form tiiey have gained by this war more than it can be shown the victorous in any other war ever gained in any similiar strife, (applause) and they now with us, are ready to stand guard around the couch and at the home of the man by whom they were beaten.

But, companions, I am constrained to too much talk. I trust you will have pleasant, safe, agreeable journeys home and that you will find your families have all been under the care of a divine providence that has charge of all lives and the fortunes of individuals and of nations. (Enthusiastic applause.)

CAUGHT AT LAST.

The Partner of Dudley and Patterson Run *1 Down. On the 3d of last December, Dudley, Patterson and Jennings burglarized French's store at Pimento. A few days later the two former were arrested and on pleas of guilty were given seven years in the penitentiary. Jennings got away. The police sent out word to all points asking them to be on the lookout for Jennings. Yesterday Superintendent Vandever received word from the City Marshal of Sullivan that Jennings had been arrested there. Roundsman Dwyer went down this morning for the prisoner. There is a clear case against the prisoner. He is the man who planned the robbery.

A Wave Eight Feet High in the Rio Grande. LAREDO, Tex., April 20.—A wave eight feet high came rushing down the Rio Grande this morning with terrific force. It carried away the line bent of the Mexican National railroad bridge. In a few hours the river rose twelve feet, and then rapidly ran down. The rise resulted from a great wafer spout which fell some miles above the city. A large quantity of drift indicates great destruction of ranch property above. .Jjii*'*

A ROMANCE OF THE SEA.

A Receipt for Money Washed Ashore From a Wreck.

HALIFAX, N. S., April 20.—A romance has come to light connected with the ill fated steamship Daniel Steinmann, which was wrecked at Sambroa a year ago, when 124 lives were lost. Previous to his leaving home, Peter Andrus Michaelson one of the passengers, deposited $39,570 and some valuables for safe keeping with one Herschied of Hasle, Denmark, and took a receipt therefor. Probably imagining that no legal evidence would ever be forthcoming that he had the money, Herschied refused to return it to the dead man's relatives. Thereupon the Danish foreign minister communicated with Mr. Tobin, the Danish consul at this port, requesting him to spare no efforts to find the receipt. The bodies and wreckage washed ashore from time to time have been carefully searched, and the divers who have been working on the wreck for the past year have kept a sharp look out for the nm'gRing document but all without success. Recently a small trunk was washed ashore containing a number of letters and papers. These were turned over to the consul. They were water soaked and the writing almost obliterated, but among them was the long looked for receipt which after much difficulty Consul Tobin deciphered and translated. He has cabled the good news to Copenhagen.

THE Vigo Gun Club last night elected Wm. M. Tuell president, and E. W. Boss secretary and treasurer.

He did not believe Maxwell was a physician, but thought he tried to pass examination and failed His brother was a physician. Both were very eccentric. .Maxwell was never given to study, as ho had too much money and was given to going on sprees. Witness saw him last in 1870. There was a cousin of his named Walter Lennox Maxwell, who died in 1877. He was a physician and witness believed Maxwell assumed his cousin's name.

AN OFFENSIVE PARTISAN.

Charges Against the Postmaster at Bloomington, 111.

BLOOMINGTON, III., April 21.—John H. Oberly, chairman of the Democratic Central Committee, who has just arrived from Washington, has received a letter from Postmaster-General Vilas. Complaint was made to Mr. Oberly by Democratic leaders at Aurora, that O. B. Knickerbocker, postmaster of that city, was an active and offensive Republican, and charges were made against him by Thomas O'Donuell, chairman of the city committee of Aurora, to the same effect. The letter, Mr. Oberly forwarded to Mr. Vilas, who replied that the charges would be considered as* soon as the condition of the business of the department with proper regard to regular order, would permit. He says the 'vast- amount of business of the department, necessitating the most careful attention, and the appointments to fill vacancies already existing may delay for some time consideration of cases of this nature. The conduct of public interests is superior in importance to speedy relief against offensive appointments. Mr. Vilas further adds that. when charges showing the Postmaster to be an- offensive and active partisan in his office shall be sustained, they will receive due and satisfactory consideration consistent with public business and the interests of the

FOREIGN MISCELLANY.

Victoria—Bismarck—A Paper Muddle. DUBLIN, April 20.—It is stated that Queen Victoria has arranged to visit Ireland next autumn.

PARIS, April 20.—The French press unanimously insist that the government shall continue in its demand upon Egypt for full satisfaction for the suppression of the French newspaper, the Bosphore Egyptian, at Cairo.

LONDON, April 20.—The Standard in an editorial this morning says it hopes that England will support the Khedive in his controversy with France concerning the suppression of the Bosphore Egyptian. If England allows accession to France's demand for the withdrawal of the decree of suppression and the punishment of the officials who executed the decree, the Standard thinks it will make a serious mistake. The Bosphore Egyptian was justly suppressed, says the Standard, and if it be allowed to resume its audacious career England will, confess more flagrantly than ever that in Egypt she has undertaken a task which she has neither 'the ability to execute nor the courage to relinquish.

SUAKIM, April 20.—A sheikh with 700 men of the Ameren tribe has started out to capture Osman Digna for the British.

John Kuykendall and John Presser and their families have gone to Coal City, Ind. on a visit The school election held up at Dennison last Saturday went off very quiet, which is different from what it was last year. The only trouble that occurred was the challenge of Charles Parsons' vote which made Charley mad. It seems that Charley-is not attached to any district, and is entirely left out in the cold. John Kuykendall was elected. He received 28 votes and W. J. Thatcher received 22 votes J. B. Eldred, it is rumored, will teach another year. He is a good teacher.

A BIG ENVELOPE.

A Veiy Sudden Report About Mr. Scbaal Being Poslmasier. ..

A Very Uig Envelop^ From the Postoffico Department Starts the Unfounded Rumor.

The report was circulated all over town early this morning that Mr. Geo. A. Schaal had been appointed Postmaster. As would naturally be expected the rumor caused considerable excitement and there were many little groups of men that met to discuss the "surprise." As early as 8 o'clock it seemed as though every one had heard of it. Many accepted the common version of the manper in which it had been made without hesitancy, while others were disposed to regard it as a "fish" story. A GAZETTE writer started out to trace down the report.

One of the first men he ran across was Letter-carrier Routzhan, who assured the reporter that there could be no doubt about Mr. Schaulk appointment as he himself had left at his place of business this morning a big envelope having the seal of the First Assistant Postmaster General's office. This, is the appointment office of the department and the letter-carrier assured the reporter that that office never carried on correspondence with outsiders unless it be to notify them of their luck in securing an appointment.

The reporter knew that if the appointment had been made in this manner it was somewhat unusual, as appointments are generally known first in Washington and the Associated Press agent at that point at once sends them out to the newspapers composing the Association. Mr. Schaal's place of business was visited. Mr. Andy Drought said he thought there was surely something in the report. A big envelope from the Postoffice Department had been left there for Mr. Schaal. It was-there som9 time before Mr. Schaal arrived and in the meantime the greatest curiosity had existed as to its contents. Mr. Schaal when he came opened the envelop and crammingk it in ihis pocket went out to the fair grounds,, where ,he had buslhggg.

About this time another indu&trious individual started a report that Postmaster Jones had received official notification that his successor had been appointed. This was to be accepted as final evidence of the truth of the report, but still there were doubting Thomases who refused to believe until more satisfactory and tangible evidence had been submitted. While Mr. Schaal was out at the fair grounds the reporter managed to get around and hear somp expressions of opinion.

Mr. Andy Fouts said he always did think AL stood as good a show for the appointment as anyone else. Col. Bob Hunter took the news philosophically, and said he would as leave see Mr. Schaal have it as anyone else, excepting 'r,» himself. It was also said that Dr. Van Valzah had declared that Mr. Schaal's appointment was a good one. What John Regan and Jim Foley said on hearing the news has not been learned. At 11 o'clock Tom Harper Called the reporter up to a quiet remote place and enjoining secrecy until afternoon anyhow proceeded to unfold the following .. cruel tale:

That he was at Mr. Schaal's place of business when Al went into the back room and opened an envelope that he (Harper) asked Al if the contents of the same was not a notification of the fact tbat his application had been duly received and filled that upon receiving an affirmative answer, he had, for the,, purpose of playing a practical joke, introduced Mr. Schaal to the anxiously awaiting crowd as the new Postmaster, whereupon Mr. Schaal himself, to further give color to the report, asked the boys all up to take a drink.

When Mr. Schaal got back from the fair grounds he made substantially the same statement as to the contents of the big envelope as had Mr. Harper. Then a big man in a faded coat and red necktie asked: "Who is postmaster?"

A minute later the soft, reassuring,' answer was wafted back on the gentler zephyr:' "J. O. Jones." "Well, did you hear about Al. Schaal's appointment?" asked Deputy Postmaster Arnold of a GAZETTE reporter. "Yes, but I understand* that it was only a notice that his application had been received and filed." "You can give that to the marines or the mugwumps. No such notice in my experience has ever been sent out. Why the force of clerks would have to be doubled to do it. Beside why didn't the' other candidates receive similar notifications."

Mr. Arnold afterward stated that if any inquiry from an applicant in regard to his papers were made the department would probably answer it, but not otherwise.

Not $4,50.

Through mistake the price of the WEEKLY GAZETTE following the story entitled "A Paris Mystery" is put down at $4.50. The WEEKLY GAZETTE is no doubt worth §4.50, but $1.50 is all that is charged for it. "Now is the time to subscribe."
