W. H. Haslet Assigns.

Councilman W. H. Haslet, the pawnbroker, has assigned to W. H. Soale for the benefit of his creditors. He assigns his personal effects and the following real estate: 49 feet 8 inches front east side of Fifth street and 38 feet front east side of Fifth street between Eagle and Chestnut. He claims the exemption allowed by law.

The liabilities are about $2,000, notes being held mostly by persons outside of the city. The assets may reach that figure.

Mr. Haslett sa'd his assignment was caused by the pressure of his creditors and he thought that if they had held off awhile he would have come out all right. The entire stock will be turned over to his creditors, which will be almost enough to satisfy their claims.

Tbey brought with them as a present for the occasion a splendid hanging lamp, whitfh now graces the parlor.

Harrison Faffg's Defense.

The GAZETTE'S Biley correspondent last week sent the following: "Mr. Harrison Filgg, who was employed to teacli the Bohool at District No. 2 in this township, got into trouble with some of his pupils, out of which grew some dissatisfaction on the part of some of the patrons who petitioned Trustee Gordon for his dismissal. Supt. Currry and Trustee Gordon met the patrons of the school, heard the case and decided against the teacher. He was dismissed and another teacher employed to teach the unexpired term."

Mr. Fagg has written a defense which, being a column or so in length is too long to print entire. Briefly stated he attacks both Mr. Curry and Mr. Gordon, two gentlemen whose excellent reputation is sufficient guaranty for their acts, with "inhuman and disrespectful treatment" of the teacher and with being prejudiced against him. He claims that a son of Wm. Baker called him (the teacher) a blank blank blank son of a blank and was suspended for this and similar actB of insubordination and that thereupon Mr. Baker, the father, got up a petition whioh he carried to Trustee Gordon asking for the feacher'a dismissal. He further says that Supt. Curry and Trustee Gordon tried to get him to resign without trouble but he refused to do so and preferred to stand trial. Ho claims there was no evidence at the trial against him and that the matter was left to the patrons then present and that nine voted for him and only four against him. The GAZETTE knows nothing of the facts in the case bat suggests to Supt. Curry or Trustee Gordon that if they think necessary, a statement of the charges against Mr. Fagg be printed that the public may judge.

[Editor GAZETTE]—There has been a series of birthdav and wedding anniversaries given in eastern Lost Creek during the fall and winter, and perhaps no other section has had so many social gatherings. Among those not mentioned heretofore was the birthday surprise given Mrs. L. H. Dickerson, and the on® given Mrs. Jnokson Taylor also the one given Miss Maggie Taylor and Mrs. Sant Lowish. The friends in each oase came with baskets well filled and many beautiful and valuable presents, which space will not admit of enumerating, A splendid dinner was served in eaoh case, as well as a pleasant social time had. But the event of the season in the way of anniversaries was held at the residence of Mr. Albert Bead on Sunday, the 23d ult, it being tbe 20th year of their wedded life, designated by custom as the china wedding anniversary.

Mr. Foudy has some fine dogs to sell. Give him a call. Eth Kruzan is making baskets, price $5. Pearl says he can teach the band if Evans does go home.- —The U.

101 eXmtemeDt was caused the Htmse

this morning by Mr. Merritt (Dem.) rising to a question of privilege and reading an article in a St. Louis paper, giving a report of a speech made by Btpresentative Bailey (Labor) before labor meeting in East St. Louis on the evening of Jannary 30, in which he stated that while the labor caucus was balloting for Senator Mr. Dixon (Labor) had been called out by a prominent business man of Chicago and told in effect that votes for Mr. Farwell were worth from $1,000 to $5,000.

Mr. Merritt wanted an explanation of the article. Mr. Bailey stated that he had substantially stated what the article represented him as saying.

Mr. Merritt wanted to know if the person who offered tbe bribe was a member of the House.

Calls were made for Mr. Dixon, who said he saw nothing in the article to indicate that the person was a member o_, the House. He stated that he had been called out of the oaucus by a business man from Chicago who proposed to him that if he (Dixon) would control five votes he could control the same number and thus block the election of Mr. Farwell, and that there was a big speculation in it.( Mr. Dixon said in reply that he indignantly repelled tho proposition* and returned to the caucus and informed his colleague?.

A voice—"Was the man who made the proposition a member of this House?" Dixon—"He WI»B not."

Mr. Merritt stated that he had b€eh in the Legislature nineteen years and that he bad never been offered a bribe. It remained for the immaculate leader of the Labor party of Chicago to receive such a proposition before he had been in the House ten dbys, then to skulk away and get his name in the newspapers instead of coming on the floor of the Honse^ as aa his duty, and making the matter known.

Further discussion was prevented by the Speaker announcing that the question of privilege bad been exhausted.

His Bail at Greencastle hxed at 1 he Girl's Evidence.

Officer Lyons, who attended the trial of Jos. Wysong at Greencastle last Friday for the abduction of sixteen-year-Ada DeBaun to this city, states that the bond fixed by the conrt was $500, whioh Wysong was unable to give. The girl's testimony went far to holding the defendant over. She testified that Wysong was going to take her to the Mayers House, but was arrested at the depot. Officer Lyons testified that Wysong t«ld him at the depot beforo the arrest that he was going to take the girl to the Mayers House, have a time with her, and turn her loose next morning. Wysong testified that he was going to leave the girl at the Mayers House and then go home, and that he brought the girl here to find work for her. An effort was made by the defence to show that the girl was not of previous chaste character and thst she had brought a charge of incest against her futher about a year ago. Nothing like it was proven, however, as it was only a rumor and probably untrue.
