Miner Injured.

KNIGHTBVILLE, Ind., Oct. 12— [GAZETTE special.]—John Schrepferman, a coal miner, and a man of family, was very seriously if not fatally injured in the Syndicate mine No. 2 yesterday afternoon. He had put in two shots, only one of which went off, but he thought both had. Just as he returned to them the other went off. His injuries are about the head and body, and may prove fatal.

A Motion to Adjourn.

Wiggins has come and Wiggins has gone, but the following stands out in bold relief as against anything that has occurred during the year 1886. It is actually taken from the Express of this morning:

In regard to the importance of motions to adjourn the Express will have something to say in the future.

Well may we ask again, into whose impious hands has Jim Johnston's campaign fallen? What in the name of

foodness

is the matter with it, anyway.

)id the people of "Vigo county ever see anything like it before?

Dr, Humphreys Pardoned.

Indianapolis Sentinel: Dr. Andrew J. Humphreys, of Vigo county, was convicted of manslaughter at Terre Haute on January 14,1885, and sentenced to two years imprisonment at Jeffersonville. He had shot and killed Leander Caruthers. The evidence showed that Caruthers was the aggress* and had threatened to kill Humphreys, and there was much sympathy with the convicted man. A strong petition for bis pardon was recently presented to Governor Gray, who yesterday granted the same. Humphreys has been an exemplary prisoner and his term had almost expired. The Governor also pardoned Walter C. Benton, who was serving a five years' sentence in the Southern prison for burglary. His term began on September 29, 1883. He is in bad health, and the prison surgeon testified that he could not live three months longer^ Benton is young and his father took him to his home in Kentucky. His crime was committed in Morgan county, this state.

JOHNNT JUMPUP.

Crawfordsville Star: A reporter of the Star meeting Mr. JLamb this morning asked him what there was in the charge made by the Terre Haute Express that he had betrayed the Minshall coal miners who had employed him to attend to an ejectment oase for them. Mr. Lamb replied: "Last June a year ago Mr. Sheeks came to my office in Terre Haute, and after telling me that he represented a number of poor men who were about to be ejeoted from the mines at Minshall, Parke county, asked me if I could assist them. I told him that I would be glad to do what I could for them, and would oharge them no fee. "I went to Bockville the day the case was set for trial and found that a number of the Parke county bar, including James T. Johnston, were employed upon the other side. JohnB. Courtney, of Crawfordsville, appeared with me. After consultation we concluded that the miners could not get a fair trial in Bockville and we then took a change of venue from the township and it was agreed that the case should be set down for trial for another day. I told Mr. Sheeks that I was expecting to be called to Washington on private business and might not be able to be with him the day of the trial. "I therefore advised him to employ local counsel and suggested Mr. Frank Howard, who4 was then and is now the Bepublioan Prosecuting Attorney of Parke county. Acting upon my suggestion, Mr. Howard was employed and I went houie. As I had feared, I was called to Washington, but before going 1 wrote to Mr. Howard at Bockville find Mr. Courtney at Crawfordsville that I would likely not return in time to attend the trial and to take care of the boys until I got home. "When I returned the cases had been disposed of. These are the facts as they occurred. Mr. Sheeks voluntarily gave me either five or ten dollars the day I was at Bockville for the purpose of paying my expenses. I was simply trying to serve poor people who were in trouble without expecting any fee whstever."

Mr. Courtney's Statement.

I have read the above statement made by Mr. Lamb. I am conversant with all the facts and know them to have occurred as stated.

JOHN B. COURTNEY.

Mr. Frank Howard's Statement. Hon. John E. Lamb has requested me, as his associate counsel in the well-known Minshall ejection suits, to give a statement with regard to some features of his connection and my own, professionally, with those cases.

I was employed in them at tbe personal request of Mr. Lamb, who introduced me to Mr. Sheeks, and askea to have me retained. Mr. Lamb remarked that there should be a local attorney, Mr. Courtney living in Crawfordsville and he in Terre Haute. This waB in the forenoon of the day on which the cases were first called for trial in the court of Esq. Noel in Bockville, and after they had been venned away from him to Esq. Buchanan at Judson.

Shortly after, and some days before the day set for trial at Judson, I received from Mr. Lamb a letter, of whioh I took no care, and do not know what became of it. There were only a few lines, saying he was compelled to go to Washington on business he must look after personally, would return in time for the trials, if po8siDle,and wanted the boys taken care or tUl begot back.

The above is my best recoUeotion, and is, I think, substantially correct. FBANK M.HOWABD.

ROCKVILLE, Oct. 11.

Mr. Kendall's Statement.

Mr. J. B. Kendall being interviewed by the GAZETTE reporter today in regard to the statement that Mr. Lamb told him on the train coming down from Bockville "that the miners couldn't do anything," said: "It is absolutely untrue. Mr. Lamb never made any such statement to me. I heard Mr. Lamb on the train coming down tell his clients that he didn't believe he could attend to the case on the next day for trial, as he expected to be called to Washington."

Libel Case at Marshall.

MARSHALL, HI., Oct. 13—[GAZETTE special.]—Circuit court adjourned this morning to await the arrival of Judge Bennett, of Mattoon, who is expected to arrive on the noon train. The Whitehead—Haslitt libel case will be called this afternoon. States Attorney Tibbs will prosecute.

FABMEBSBTJBG, Oct. 13.-*-[GAZETTE special.]—We see in a Terre Haute paper a report of the John E. Lamb meeting at this place, which we feel it our duty to oorrect. The report in question tried to make it appear that there was not a large crowd present and that there was little enthusiasm. The fact of the matter was that the meeting was nothing short of a popular ovation to Mr. Lamb, a large part of the audienoe coming a distance of from five to eight miles. It was an assemblage of true blue, representative Democrats of this part of the oounty, with here and there a good sensible Bepublican or a Nations!, who, if his looks did not deceive him, "felt that it was good to be there." Such was the reception Mr. Lamb received here and such it was wherever he has spoken in Sullivan. Your correspondent knows of no Democrat in this part of the country who will vote against Hon. John E. Lamb, but he knows of some Bepublicans and many Nationals in old Sullivan county who will cast their votes for the "blueeyed boy of destiny." The GAZETTE has fifty-four weekly subscribers at this office, besides a number of dailies, and they are not sent to them free, either.

The Lamb Meeting There—News Notes and Personals.

A Dispute With The Record. The Terre Haute Express is in a peck of trouble. It put in all last week, including Sunday, in abusing Mr. Lamb and now it has cruelly declared War on the United States Government. It devoted two columns this morning in trying to demolish the Congressional Record. The trouble with the Congressional Beoord is that it and the Terre Haute Express travel by different roads. They don't jingle. This is too bad, because we like to see brotherly love prevail everywhere. The Congressional Record says one thing about Mr. Lamb and the Express says another. Of course any fair-minded man would believe the Terre Haute Express in this dispute it has with the Congressional Record. Anybody who read that accurate account of the Dowling Hall meeting last Saturday night would beifeve it if it said that the sun moved and that Brother Jasper's theory about it was correct What the Express is now trying to prove is that the Congressional Record, printed at the government printing office in Washington, is like itself— unworthy of belief. It wants to prove, we believe, that the journal of the House of Bepresentatives lies when it says Mr. Lamb voted on such and such a measure. It has used the word "liar" so often lately that it probably comes to it as a sort of seoond nature. But then it is all in the family anyway. It is a quarrel between the Express and the Bepublican Public Printer, Mr. S. P. Bounds. We suppose Mr. Bounds enjoys the distinction that has thus been thrust upon him. The public will watch with interest this dispute between these two distinguished Bepublican authorities. Tbe GAZETTE says, may the best man win! y'-*'

Lamb at Waveland.

WAVELAND, Oct. 12.—[GAZETTE special]—Hon. John E. Lamb spoke at this place today. It was the largest and most enthusiastic Democratic meeting ever held here. It being a strong hold of Republicanism, we had some fear as to getting a crowd equal to Mr. Johnston's meeting of Saturday night last, but to our surprise there were two to one in attendance. At least 5()0 voters heard him. Many had to be turned away as the Bank Hall was filled to overflowing. Many Greenbackers were in attendance and the leading one of them was heard to remark: "1 have heard them both and shall vote for Lamb." There are 30 Greenback voters in the township and Lamb ^11 get 25 of them and Ballard the other r've. We have no kickers here.
