THURSDAY, APRIL 8,1886.

THE TOWNSHIP ELECTIONS. The township elections passed off very quietly in Vipo county this year. No espeoial interest wns taken in the election and the vote was light. Here in Harrison township the result is almost precisely as it was two years ago at the corresponding election, with the advantage, taking the entire ticket through, a little more favorable to the Democrats this time than it was then. In the county at large the result is ejactly a draw. There are twelve townships in the county, including Harrison township in which the city of Terre Haute is situated. Of the twelve trustees the Democrats elected six and the Republicans six. In this connection the only surprising thing is the way in which things are twisted about Honey Greek and Otter Creek for exam* pie, have always been considered Republican strongholds. In both the Democats elected their candidates. Linton has been considered good during an exciting canvass for 100 Democratic majority and will certainly give that this fall and yet it elected a Republican trustee. It would seem as if the people out of a mere restlessness, or peijhaps indifference, let the elections in these townships go as they did. As to he other townships they are usually close and it would have been no surprise if those which went Democratic had gone Republican, and vice versa. The result as a whole is an even thing, on trustees, and there is probably a slight Democratic majority in the whole number of candidates voted for. The men elected are all of them fairly representative citizens and there is no reason why they will not make reasonably good officials. The people were amazingly indifferent on the day of election about voting and they have not become excited since over a result which they took no especial pains to influence one way or the other. The election has come and gone and-the current of life flows on free and full and strong.

YESTEBDAY the House of Representatives passed the Mexican pension bill by a vote of 158 to 68. If it shall become a law it will give every honorably discharged soldier who served for any period in the war with Mexico in the vears 1845-48, or to his widow, a pension of $8 a month. There is no retroactive clause in the bill and the pension only begins with the enactment of the law. The number of these veterans is small, they are getting old and their ranks are rapidly thinning. They are deserving of recognition."^SV *W

An old soldier, by the way, has something to say on the universal pension bill in today's GAZETTE.

A majority and minority report will be made by the Legislative committee which is making an investigation into the alleged bribery in the election of Senator Payne. What can be legally proved, or what will be done are matters of conjecture but there is no sort of doubt but that the election was frightfully corrupt. If the'investigation shall serve to check this sort of thing it will have done great good. •.

GLADSTONE is having some difficulty in holding, his cabinet together on the Irish question. But it is believed, and it certainly is to be hoped, that the venerable statesman may be enabled to signalize the close of his political career with a great act of justice to Ireland. There is no sort of doubt that he is Ireland's greatest and sincerest friend.

YESTEBDAY the Senate confirmed the nominations of John K. Oberly, of Illinois, and of Charles Lyman, of Connecticut, to be civil service commissioners. Edgerton, of Indiana, is the other member and the president of the commission.

THE BOYCOTT.

The GAZETTE'S friends who take the Weekly paper will be glad to learn that the boycott against the Daily GAZETTE by a disreputable little printers' ring here in Terre Haute has broken down completely. It was so outrageously un-American that it went all to pieces like a soap bubble. It has made the Daily stronger here in town and many of our farmer friends have been prompted to sit down on the outrage by extending the circulation of the Weekly among their Qeighbore and friends, so that we have gained many new subscribers. We desire to thank our friends for their efforts in our behalf. We should like to have everybody in this section to become a reader of the Week ly GAZETTE.

As yet the Senate has not acted on the O'Neill arbitration bill, but it will pass it promptly. There is nothing' in the bill to which the millionaire Senators could object, or anybody else for that matter.

EX-CONGRESSMAN S. M. STOOKLAGEB, of New Albany, has been confirmed as commissioner rff the land offioe.

A MOB. /.

It Invades The Yards In East St. Louis. ST. LOUIS, April 7.—The quiet state of affairs which has existed in East St. Louis for the past week was suddenly broken today by a riot. A large crowd of strikers numbering over a thousand men formed about noon at the relay depot and headed by the leaders of the strike in that citymarohed to the Ohio & Mississippi railroad, where a number of platform men were at work.

No guard of police or deputy sheriffs had been stationed there and the employes were easily forced from their positions. Thence the mob advanced upon the Vandalia yarfc. Here a few deputies were on duty who ordered the men back. They refused and made a rush, bearing the officers down and swarmed through the gates into the yards and forced all the employees at work out of the yards.

From this place they marched to the C. B. & Q., yards, where a similar scene was enacted and all the employes forced out. The men then rushed on to the Chicago & Alton yards {fad upon arriving there were met by a strong force of deputy marshals armed with Wiuchester repeating rifles. •They ordered the mob back and called upon them to disperse. This the crowd refused to do and upon attempting to rush through the gates the Marshals brought their rifles to their shoulders and threatened to fire if the crowd advanced. This cooled their ardor somewhat and they turned back, none the less determined, however, that there should be no w6rk done in that city while the Knights of Labor are still on their strike. The deputies remained on guard at the Alton yards, fearing a second attack upon that point while the strikers proceeded to the Cairo short line yards whither they are now (12:30 P. M.) marching. 2 p. M.—Upon arriving there the mob found their way unobstructed and by the same means as before forced the men to quit. The mob then dispersed, but not before calling a meeting of all the strikers to take piace at 2:30 o'clock atFlannigan's Hall, where resolutions will be adopted declaring that no one will be allowed to fill the strikers places. All the yards are now deserted.

Adjutant General Vance was a spectator of the action of the mob this morning. He has telegraphed the situation to the Governor. It is generally thought the militia will be ordered out.

THE HONEY CREEK ELECTION

A Disgusted Republican. I"

TERRE HAUTE, April 7.—[Editor GAZETTE.]—I have been one of your readers for many years and have always observed that you are willing to give both sides of any question. Therefore, in the interest of truth and justice, I beg you to allow me a small space in your paper in regard to the recent Honey Creek township election.

When men cannot rise superior to the petty jealousy caused Dy an honorable defeat in convention and resolve to crush the candidate whose only crime had been success, the disgrace of the Republican party is the inevitable result. His conscience is clear. He has done his duty by the convention and by the party. On the heads

his pretend

ed friends rests the shame. As for thofie men who were weak enough to be led by others, whose evident motive was personal disappointment, they are left to the shameful knowledge that they have brought about the defeat of the man whom they themselves had nominated, and to the contempt which must be felt for them by all loyal men who believe in fair and honorable dealing, whether Democrat or Republican.

A BIG MILL BURNED.

Indianapolis Machinists Lose Heavilv. QUINCY, HI., April 7.—The Gem City mills, the largest flotir mills in this section, were entirely destroyed by fire last night. Total loss is nearly $200,000' The buildings were owned by a •stock company of Quincy men and cost $125,000. Taylor Bros, the lessees took possession last winter. They had 1,500 bushels of wheat and 1,000 lbs. of flour in the warehouse and elevators. Their loss is about $30,000. Nordyke & Co., of Indianapolis had just fitted the mill on contract and the machinery had not been accepted. Their loss will be $30,ooo.

The Prinoeton Democrat says that the growing wheat along the E. & T. H. Railroad, between Prioeton and Terre Haute, looks splendid.

RAGING RIVERS.

the Ohio Still Rising at Cincinnati and Louisville.

The Central Depot at Cincinnati Abandoned on Account of the Water. ..

CINCINNATI, April 7.—The river having stood for a long time at 54 feet 2 inches, has begun to rise slowly, and at 10 today is 54 feet 3% inches. There is no doubt now that the rise will continue, as the reports fnJm above show a rising river all the way up. Besides the snow fall, which has hardly ceased yet this morning, is so heavy that its melting will feed every side stream for 400 miles. Cincinnati, however, is well warned, and no property will be lost by surprise. Passenger trains have ceased to run into the Central passenger depot, owing to water on the tracks, and havef sought higher ground for their depots. Freight traffic on the roads coming on the old Whitewater canal line has been much restricted, not so much because of present inability to handle it ns of the fear that higher water may come. The street cars still run to Covington and will continue to do so until the rise is two feet more. Coal fleets hnve been well handled* and there is no fear of loss among them.

HeShoofs His Wife and Child. ST. FRANCIS, Ark., April 7.—This town was the scene last Sunday of a most horrible crime, and it will only be owing to extra vigilance on the part of the officers if it is not followed by summary punishment. For some time there, has liyed in* this community a laboring man named William Ellis, with his wife and two-year-old child. They came from southern Illinois, but beyond this not much is known of their antecedents. Ellis was a drinking man, and when under the influence of liquor was known to be abusive. On Sunday he was in an unusually vicious mood and kept up all day the- inhuman treatment of the woman. Late in the afternoon she sought relief in flight and started to a magistrate's office to procure a warrant for his arrest. He followed, and when near the office to which she had started, fired at her with a Winchester rifle, the ball striking her first on the wrist, thdn passing entirely through the body of her child, which she had in her arms, then penetrating the body of the mother, inflicting a mortal wound. The child died in a short time. A coroner's inquest was held and resulted in a verdict in accordance with the facts as above.' The murderer was promptly arrested and hurried off to jail at Boydsville to save him from lynching. 5

PARKE COUNTY POLITICS.

Surprisine Democratic Success in Penn 3C Township. ROCKVJIILE, Ind., April 7.—[GAZETTE special.]—The election in Adams township, a Republican stronghold, resulted as usual in the election of the Republican tioket. W. H. Hargrove was elected trustee by a majority of 71 Edward Bradfield assessor by 6, and JohnLeonard justice of the peace by a majority of 1 over J. W. Russell. Mr. Russell is well qualified for the position and it was thought he was elected and his friends were very jubilant. A full vote was polled and' considerable scratching was done. There was a fight on the south side of the square simply becausent was election.

BIIOOMIN($DALE, Ind., "April 7.—[GAZETTE special.]—-If some one would have predicted Penn township would be carried away by a cyclone Tuesday it would have been no less a surprise than the election of the Democratic candidate for trustee, John Alley. He ran against Wm. Chapman. There has never before been over twenty-five Democratic votes cast in this township.

A Stylish Young Man Circulates Among the Lawyers

And Carries Off Their Law Books in His Spare Moments.

A rather sensational arrest was made this morning which created a good deal of stir down on Wall street among the lawyers and up at police headquarters For the past few days a stylishlydressed, good-looking young man of about 25, with a sandy mustache, dark hair, small felt hat and an intelligent countenance has been soliciting among the lawyers and probably among other business men for what is called the "New York Moist Letter Copy Book." It is an arrangement by which letters can be copied off by means of a chemical arrangement which keeps the thin tissue paper always moist.

While the young man was soliciting the lawyers for his article he was also improving his time by stealing their law books. Yesterday morning the stylish young man bargained with Mr. Thopias F. Donham, the lawyer, whose office is near Fourth and Ohio, for the purohaseof twenty-five law books at $1.50 for each. All the books were Indiana reports. He delivered the books and Mr. Donham told him to call this morning for his money. The young man said he had bought the books* down on the E. & I. road. In the meanwhile, Mr. Donham had to go out of the oity yesterday and he was not able to communicate the suspicions he had until this morning. This morning when the stranger called at Mr. Donham's office response to the appointment Captain Vanever placed him under arrest and took him to police headquarters. Mr. Donham had recognized Mr. Baker's books among those brought to his offioe by Snowden and he knew at once they were stolen.

At police headquarters Thomas W. Harper identified eleven of the books as his, Harry J. Baker identified eleven as his and four were identified as Judge Bhoad's and two as John Patterson's. All were Indiana reports except Judge Rhoads' four books, which were New York reports. These four books of Judge Rhoads' the thief had in a satchel he carried at the time of his arrest. He took his arrest coolly and at police headquarters during the hubub' incident to the identification of the books the stylish young man was as cool as a cucumber and twirled his mustache carelessly. He gave his name as John J. Snowden and a letter in the sample book be carried corroborated his statement. He said he was from St. Louis. He would talk very little. He first told Captain Yandever that he bought the books, but he afterwards said he had an accomplice and wouldn't tell who he was. The prisoner was taken to jail. Mr. Harpers name was originally|written on the outside of his 'books, but the thief had changed the name dextrously to F. H. Barber.

The prisoner registered at the National House on April 1st and had been boarding there up the time of his arrest. He registered as J. B. Snowden.

Afterwards, on going to Snowden's room at the National House, twentyseven more law books were found. They were concealed in the lower part of the wash-stand. Thirteen belonged to H. J. Huston, six to J. P. Stunkard, one to T. A. Foley, three to John Patterson and one to H. J. Baker. Three others are still unclaimed.
