LEW WAI/LACE has left Turkey and now the Grand Vizier has gone crazy presumably with, grief. Sam Cox, Wallace's successor, ought to be able to cheer him up.

CANNOT the Ringgold band get up a band tournament in the course of the next two or three weeks? Terre Hauteans remember with pleasure the one they did have here.

OUTSIDERS yield to Terre Haute's Ringgold band that palm of supremacy which our people have always believed to belong to them, but this faith has found expression in words rather than in substantial encouragement.

WASHIKOTONIANS are talking of electing MIM Elizabeth Cleveland to a place on the Public School Board. She is abundantly well qualified to discharge the duties of the place much better perhaps than any of the masculine incumbents.

GENERAL BLACK and Col. McLean are likely to uncover an immense amount of crookedness in the pension bureau before they get through with their investigations. A correspondent of the Washington Herald, who enjoys unusual facilities for obtaining accurate information, says: "I am told by those in position to know that there will be a considerable "true inwardness" yet brought out about the pension office. An official high in office there told me yesterday that they were in possession of information going to show astounding corruption. Pensions for years have been followed up and blackmailed for political purposes. Men who have been granted pensions have been told they if they did not contribute a percentage they would be prosecuted. These things being true, it is no wonder there is more or less disposition to attack the present administration of the pension office."

"AFTER the Republican convention in Virginia," observes the New York evening Post, with a happy clearness of vision, "even the most audacious Republican organ in the North can hardly venture longer to waive the bloody shirt. The band played'Dixie,' a tune abhorred by all good Republicans the boss of the convention was a 'Confederate Brigadier,' whose proudest boast still is that he was Lee's right hand man in the rebellion he was greeted by his followers with the 'rebel yell the tool whom he placed in the' ohair has a famous record as a Confederate soldier, and greatly distinguished himself at Fort Ippher, where he was several times wounded and this 'rebel' was upheld in wielding absolute power over the body by a delegate upon the ground that he deserved confidence because ho had 'laid down and been sawed in two in the hottest days of the Confederacy.' To maintain that it is all right for a Republican convention to be thus controlled by 'rebels,' and all wrong on the Democratic side, involves a measure of stulification which must stagger even a Blaine organ."

Of the investigation of Postmstera Jones at Indianapolis and of the finding of the investigators the Washington correspondent of the St. Louis Republican says: "Mr. Thoman and Mr. Lyman, the subcommittee sent to Indianapolis by the civil service commission to investi gate the charges made against Postmaster Jones, have finished their labors, and it is stated that their report, which will be made to the president through the commission, will be a thorough vindication of Mr. Jones. Mr. Hughes, the private secretary of Vice-President Hendricks, has just come on from Indianapolis, and speaking of the difficulty says: "When Aquilla Jones was appointed postmaster last April, he found among over eighty employees only one Democratic voter. He has made some remov als and appointments of civil service grade as well as a few both above and below it. The appointments of civilservice grade he has made exclusively from the list of eligible candidates supplied to him by the local civil service examining board in accordance with the civil-service laws. In making the other appointments, which do not come within the province of the civil-service commission, he could not violate civil-ser-vice laws. Up to date Postmaster Jones has appointed twenty Democrats in all, including laborers. Complaints, you know, were made about the dismissal of two Republican office-holders whom Mr. Jones removed for cause. Full investigation has been made, and Judge Thoman concedes that the right of removal cannot be questioned, which is a complete vindication of Jones. It was also charged that the local examining board, in their examinations of candidates for the civil-service, gave favor to Democrats. Now one of the members of that examining board is a Republican, and he has stated to the committee of investigation that the examinations are made with the utmost care, strictness and impartiality ."

It is natural to suppose tb&t Fitzhughl^e's nomination for Governorship by the Democracy was greeted by the rebel yell all over the old Dominion:—[Blainia Organ.

This is certainly refreshing in view of the fact that the Republican nominee for Governor of Virginia is John S.Wise, himself a soldier in the rebel army and son of Henry S. Wise, a rebel general and Governor of Virginia when John Brown was hung. Moreover Wise stands on a platform which favors repudiation of the State debt and the pensioning of rebel soldiers. Republican editors should touch Virginia politios lightly its loaded

A Confession That He Was 'in the St. Clair House

Killed

IpSC

And His Body Dumped Into the Sewer at Second and Chestnut

Vi

i* Streets.^ir, a rpt

From Tuesday's dally.

The disappearance of Edgar William' son, a prominent farmer living near Casey, 111., and the subsequent recovery of his body several months later in the Wabash river, are now almost entirely forgotten, but the matter is again brought prominently before the public by developments which give color to the belief existing at the time, and al ways held by his brother, that he was foully dealt with. The facts as near as can be given are as follows:

Williamson came to Terre Haute in February last. That was the last seen of him until his body was fished out ot the river in May. The last seen of him alive was at the St. Clair House. Emma Morey and several other women of the St. Clair House were taken to police headquarters on suspioion of knowing more than they ought to about the deceased, but nothing cpme of it, and so far as the police was concerned the matter had been allowed to drop, but it seems that the officials, conspicuously Sergeant Dwyer, have been zealously working up the case, with the assistance of Eli Williamson, brother of the dead man, who always maintained that his brother had not got in the river of his own accord.

There lived a family in the St. Clair building named Phipps. They recently moved near to Casey, HI. One of the Phipps children let a remark drop in the presence of a neighbor of Williamson's that "his father told his mother that Williamson would soon wash out of the- river." The Phipps family afterward got into a quarrel and one of his daughters, Mrs. Patrick by name, told all she knew to a justice of the peace, Mr. Garrison. Her story was to the effect that Williamson was drugged in Emma Morey's room (No. 39) in the St. Clair House that they did not intend to kill him, but the dose was too much for him and he died. He was carried into the cellar by John W. Phipps, the old man, who afterWards, in the night time, took him to the sewer at the corner of Second and Chestnut streets and put him in. The parties to the drugging were the Phipps family, Emma Morey and another girl whose first name is Emma. The drugging was dene for the purpose of robbery.

Late last night, or rather early this morning, Sergeant Daryer and Deputy Marshal Lamb went to Casey, HI. It is thought their mission is to make some arrests.

From Wednesday's daily.

Sergeant Dwyer and Deputy Marshal Lamb arrived in town at 1 o'clock this morning with John W. Phipps and his blonde eighteen-year-old daughter Jennie, who are accused of having murdered Edgar Williamson in the St. Clair House and put him in a sewer *to be carried off to the river. A GAZETTE reporter saw the prisoners at the jail this morning. Jennie denied knowing anything at all about Williamson or his alleged murder, and said the story her married sister, upon whose statement the arrests were made, had told yesterday in the 'Sauire's court in Illinois was untrue from beginning to end. Mrs. Patrick, the married sister, swore that Jennie told her fcow they had drugged Williamson in Emma Morey's room in the St. Clair House for the purpose of robbing him and how they gave him too much and he died. Jennie said her sister was mad at her father because be wouldn't let her bring her husband to the family house, as the. old man didn't like him. Jennie, who is quite an attractive looking girl, spoke her mind freely and said if she suffered she would suffer4injustly. She said she had never seen Williamson to her knowledge. Old man Phipps, who is 59, made a similar statement. They are kept in separate cells. Emma Morey is also in jail She denies, too.

Sergeant Dwyer said today that both Phipps and his daughter waived a requisition and came willingly. In fact, when they found what 'they were charged with they wanted to be brought over right away so they could clear themselves of the charge. They live seven miles west of Casey on a farm belonging to T. H. Riddle, of this city.

In police circles not much is thought of the case against the Phippses and Emma Morey. As stated before, the case rests almost solely on the statement of the married sister, who is a girl of of exceedingly bad character. Phipps himself looks like an inoffensive old man who would be incapable of such a dreadful deed, and his daughter certainly does not talk nor act like a guilty person.

NOT PROBABLE.

Charley Tyler is of the opinion that if the body of Williamson was thrown in the catch basin hole at Chestnut and Third streets as stated in the confession of the Phipps girl it would never have got into the river, the construction of the mouth of the sewer and the grating making it impossible. "But." he added, "near Second and Chestnut there is a manhole leading straight down to the sewer and covered with a cap. The body could easily enough been thrown down .there."

HARRING ON'STKOUBLE.

He Finds Himself in the Mesheq| of the Law for Assaulting a Country Boy.

ty Justice Goldman tried

Frank Harrington in police court lor assault and battery on Offioer McNellis and discharged him. McNellis had been told by a country boy named Baker to arrestJSarrington for assaulting him, and when the officer went to lay hands on Harrington the latter resisted and got into a rough and tumble fight with him. The attorney for Harrington showed the court a statute which said that no peace offioer had a right to arrest a man without a warrant, unless the offense with which he was punishable by a term in the penitentiary. The decision of the court, which was perfectly fair on a strict construction of a wrong law, caused no little harsh comment among the policemen and Superintendent Lawlor made a remark of something or other to the effect that the decision was the "rawest" one he ever heard of. The upshot of this criticism of the jtolicq,justice by the head of the police department was naturally cause enough for the exchange of mutual explanations which followed this morning in the presence of the Mayor and Police Commissioner Brink man.

The missing link in the Harrington case Saturday was the boy Baker, whose testimony, if he had been present Saturday, would certainly have convicted Harrington. This omission was supplied this morning, when Baker

Jor

rcosecutedhis assailant inpolice court assault and battery. The testimony went to show that it was a most inexcusable and unprovoked case of assault. Baker is a quiet boy, 19 years old, who came in from Lost Creek township to sell a load of wood. Harrington, who is a muscular young man, met him with some jeering Kmarks about "the sucker not being able to sell his wood," and when the man made an inoffensive reply Harrington laid for him and ran him down to Bieemel's feed store on Poplar str&t, striking him twice and kicking him once in the presence of Mr. Bleemel and his son, both of whom were subpoenaed as witnesses and testified this morning. The country youth was compelled to seek Mr. Bieemel's roof for protection.

Justice Goldman fined Harrington $5 and costs, though the extreme limit of the law would not have been excessive punishment for the ruffian who tries to bully those inferior in strength to himself. Baker was then put on trial, at Harrington's instance for provoking him to the assault, but the evidence was of the thinnest kind and the court very properly acquitted the boy.

But Harrington's troubles are by no means over. He will be tried tomorrow morning by Mayor Kolsem for resisting officer McNellis. The penalty is not less than $10 nor more than $50. By the time young Harrington gets through with the law he will find it an expensive luxury to indulge in. •». .. .. ... *1 v''

Fire at Toronto. VJ-

TOTONTO, Aug. 3.—One of the most destructive fires that has ever taken place in Toronto commenced about 12:80 this morning, in the large brick building erected by the Toronto Sugar Refinery Company, on the esplanade. A strong wind flowing from the east carried chunks of,burning timbers along the esplanade, igniting wooden binldings as far west as six blocks. In a short time nothing was left of the sugar refinery but the bare walls and smoke stack. The buildings of Saulter, Evans, Heaks, Gunselles, and Ibbotson, all boat-builders, Ried & Co., and Welsh & Co.,lumber merchants, Currie, Martin & Co., and other buildings are in flames, and unless the wind changes, the whole south side of the esplanade will have to succumb. Sparks are flying and lodging on the roofs of the large warehouses on Front and Wellington streets, and fears are entertained that several of them may take fire. The fire brigade are, and have been, working manfully, but their efforts seem powerless. The streets are lined with thousands of people. The lots will be enormous. Three schooners are burned to the water's edge. The fire is over half a mile in length. 2:45 A. M.—The work of destruction on the esplanade still goes on, the flames having reached the foot of Yonge street, all the intervening buildings and wharves having been burned to the ground. The Great Western freight sheds, formerly the passenger station, on the north side of the esplanade, is in imminent danger, and it is expected to be in flames every moment. The steamer Chicora is getting up steam, to go out into ,the lake. The steamer Ontario got up steam, and began to tow out the steamer Mazeppa, but a schooner blockaded the way, and they could not get out. The Mazeppa has caught fire, and all three will have to succumb to the flames. Unless the wind changes, the whole south side of the esplanadb as far as Union Station, will undoubtedly perish. Showers of sparks are being carried to the opposite side of the street, and if the buildings there catch fire, there is no saying what damage will be done.

William McCullum, a seaman, is dangerously burned about the head. Several elevators, coal yards, schooners, ferry boats, warehouses and many boat-houses are among the property burned. The loss so far is estimated at over $1,000,000. 3:50 A. M.—So far the fire has been unable to cross the gap between Scott and Younge street wharves, but is completing the destruction on the path it has already traveled. A hurricane has just sprung up from the northeast, which threatens to drive the fire across the street to the main part of the city, but the buildings on the south side are burned so nearly to the ground, that unless the main part of the city catches fire from sparks, it iA thought to be safe. 4:30 A. M.—The fire is now under control.

A CARD FROMMR. HATHORN.

He States the Facts In His Record. TERRE HAUTE, Aug. 1. To the Public

Havipg been publicly charged with having been a deserter from the 85th Regiment I desire most respectfully to submit to an honest and fair minded public the following brief statement of facts in my vindication:

On the 13th of August, 1862, four members my family, including myself, two brothejs and a brother-in-law, Granville Hilton, volunteered as members of company "C" of said regiment. We volunteered, actuated, I believe, by the highest and purest motives^ of patriotic duty and with an eye single to the suppression of the rebellion and the triumph of the sacred cause of the Union. I deem it not wholly inappropriate for me to say that during my stay with my companyand regiment I did my duty as a soldier faithfully and well and to the best of my ability, and those of my company still living in this county will bear honorable testimony to the manner in which I discharged those duties. But as to this charge, what are. the real facts? In the early, part of December my brother-in-law, Granville Hilton, took sick at Lexington, Ky., and died there on the 11th of that month. Soon after my brother, Barrett Hathorn, took sick and was sent to the hospital at Danville, Ky., where my other brother, Charles, was also lying sick. Ae that time I was less than 21 years'of age, a mere boy in experienct and knowledge of the affairs of life. I was greatly attached to my older brothers and wanted to see them as they were lying sick at the hospital- I asked for a furlough to visit them and made every possible effort to procure one, whioh I failed, however, to get. Every old soldier well remembers how .difficult it was to get even a few days absence in those days. In my anxiety to get a leave I apphed to my captain, Captain Stark, now dead. He exerted himself to get a furlough for me Which he failed to procure. After this failure, but with Captain Stark's verbal permission to go, I did leave my company and regiment to visit my sick and dying brothers, but with no intention to become a deserter. The fact that I had Captain Starks' permission to go, (a permission which I. know now only too well he had no authority or power to grant me), I can prove by the unimpeachable testimony of surviving members of my company now in this county who will assert and declare that I am not a deserter in spirit, nor never was, although I admit I had no legal and proper leave of absense granted me when I left my command. M& brother Barrett died on the day after I left my company, and my other brother-Charles lingered in the hospital until April when he was discharged, he dying aitdfcwards (in early summer) from diseases contracted in the service. My family record, therefore, is three deaths out of four volunteers in the service of my country, all within a period of six .months, and because I was unable to procure a proper permit to enable me to visit the bedside of my dying brothers I must have my fair name and character forever blasted by a record of voluntary desertion. The above faots in regard to my two brothers and my brother-in-law are fully sustained by the record of company "C," 85th Regiment, to be found on page 375. Vol. 6. of Adjutant General's report I have always felt in my heart of hearts that this record of desertion was a most cruel, brutal and unjust one to me, and I have every reason to believe that a fair and generous public, with a knowledge of these facts before them will, so declare it I know that the survivors of my company today will assert and declare that I am no deserter except it may be, in a cruel and technical construction of that term. It is further due me to state that after I left the company I made every reasonable effort to obtain transportation to my command in order that I might rejoin my company but failed to do so. Col. John Baird, who was my life long friend, and colonel of my regiment, in repeated conversations with me after the war, never regarded me in the light of a deserter and were he alive I know he would justify me fully.

In conclusion, I am perfectly willing, knowing the extenuating circumstances of my case, that all the facts in regard to my leaving my command in January 1863. shall be freely and fully investigated I fear not the result of such an examination no matter by whom it may be made.

I have been repeatedly informed by

HATHORN WITHDRAWS. .,

Maurice Hegarty Appointed to the Place. Mr. Hathorn's name was withdrawn this morning. He had not yet been sworn in and entered upon the duties of the office. His bond, however, had been filed and it was a very strong and good one made up of reputable citizens of both parties. His reputation among all classes of citizens has been that of a reliable and responsible citizen and good business man., Maurice Hegarty was appointed to the position of traveling deputy made vacant by the withdrawal of Mr. Hathoro's name. He travels over what is known as the Terre Haute district which includes the counties of Vigo, Sullivan, Clay, Greene, Owen, Knox, Putnum, Parke. Mr. Hegarty is widely and favorably known. He has been actively engaged in numberless good works for years past, and no manjbears a better name or earned his good reputation more honestly. He has been a prominent member of the St. Joseph Total Abstinence Society and to his efforts the reclamation ot many persons who were drinking too much for the good of them selves and their families is due. There is a peculiar appropriateness in his appointment It is a thoroughly good one.

A GEORGIA "LYNCHING.

The Victim Shot in His Cell. MONTECELLO, Ga., August 1.—A. volley of shots, apparently from half a dozen guns aroused the people of thifc town early yesterday morning. Those who wtere out first saw four masked men runnitig in different directions. In the jail the dead body of Jack Hopkins was found, shot to pieces with buokshot Several days ago Hopkins quarrelled with -his employer George Gilmore, a wealthy planter of this country. While Gilmore was attending to his stock, he was struck oil the back of the head and fell insensible to the ground, when Hopkins fell Upon him with a knife. He was interrupted in his fiendish work by hrlf a dozen men, whom Hopkins successfully resisted, cutting his way through them with his bloody knife and escaping to the woods. A posse of men with dogs started in pursuit, keeping on the trail unt Tuesday morning when they overtook him in McDonough and arrested him. He was more like a wild animal than a man. On the way back he was tied hand and foot, so determined was he in attacking his guards. Ija the jail here, is one of Pauley's patent cells. Into this Hopkins wss placed and left for the night About twenty masked men rode quickly up to the edge of the town at 11 o'clock Thursday night Four of them were detailed to proceed' to the jail armed with double-barreled shot guns. As they approached the cell, which has openings for ventilating, the imprisoned wretch begged for mercy, The four men, however, silent as death, placed the muzzle of their guns at the openings and fired, fairly filling the prisoner with shot. Quickly reloading, they discharged their guns again and turning upon their heels, rejoined their companions and rode away. Coroner Whitten has summoned a jury of inquest and is making strenuous efforts to ferret out the murderers.

GRANT'S BODY.,,

Heavy Dark Circles Under the Eyes, MT. MCGREGOR, Aug. 1.—The^eaden hue about General Grant's face yesterday was owing largely, the undertakers say to the unfavorable lights and shadows of the room in which the body lay. Late last night when the casket was opened the body gave forth to the senses no evidence of other than favorable conditions. Preparations are being used to remove the heavy dark circles from beneath the eyes. The remains have been examined within twelve hours and the extremities and limbs were found to be fully under the control of the embalming preparations. Undertaker Merrill believes the body will be preserved in most excellent condition until long after the final leave shall have been taken of it.

Regiments For Positions at the Funeral. NEW YORK, Aug. 1.—Applications for positions in the funeral cortege aad offers of personal service for staff and other duties connected with the military escort on the occasion, continue to pour into Maj. General Hancock's office on Governor's Island, and have necessitated the employment of several extra clerks and the appointment of Lieut. Lumley as aid on the staff to assist Capt Young and Lieut. Allen in filing and recording the mass of correspondence.

Admiral Jewett landed from a steam launch at 11:15 this morning and had a long interview with,. Major Gen. Hancock in relation to the disposition of the naval forces under the Admiral's command. A prominent .official stated that the various men of war would be stationed at different points in the North river and fire salutes during the progress of the funeral procession. The matter of the marines and sailors parading as a portion of the escort is not yet settled.

A dispatch was received on behalf of President Cleveland, asking for a position in the line. It is intended that the President and vice-President with the members of the cabinet, and also exPresidents, and ex-vice-Presidfl®tB and members of their oabinents will be invited by the Grant family to partici-

AN INSANE^Mm REVENGE.

He Kills a Section Hand.

MADDEN, Mam.* Aug. 1.—-The engineer of the 5 o'clock train from Boston on the Boston & Maine railway last Uight discovered the body of a man near the track, half a mile west of the Atkinson depot. His head was crushed in a terrible manner. He was identified as Hatrick Conners, a section hand on the Haverhill section. Last night quite late an unknown man who gave his name as Patrick Maleney and residence as Dover, N. IL, came to the Plaston Centre Btation and confessed to the station agent that he had murdered Conners. He said that he was walking on the track, and when passing Conners the latter threw a handfull of sand at him, Maleney then he laid in wait for him and attacked him with a piece of railroad iron, breaking his skull and beating his brains out and then throwing him beside the track. Maleney was immediately arrested and taken to the lockup at Plaston, where he will be examined and taken to safer quarters. He is thought to be insane.
