INTERDENOMINATIONAL COURTESIES.

Tho liev. Dr. Dudley spoke to the congrega
tion of tho Church of the Messiah, last evening,
on “Interdenominational Courtesy," taking as
his text the twelfth chapter of tho First Epbllo
to (he Corinthians.
Tho reverend gentleman began by saying that
if people should bo well mannered at ail. it wan
In tbolr religion. They should forgot nil little
ness, narrowness, and selfishness. This wns tho
high point of religion—where humanity come in
sontact with Qod and divinity. This thought
ibould expand ns au wo are expanded from no
other point of view. Paul took tho vari
ous functions of t!io body to illus
trate tho beautiful haimouy which should
prevail among followers of different religious’
the very dcsipti of religion was to stir into ac
tion all Lite latent possibilities of onr being, and
tboo to harmonize them. Tho human body was
one in its life, but many in too expressions of
that Ufo, and the grand oneness and unity of tho
jodily life was tho grand boy, through and
through. Vi’boo tlio body was in its normal
itate, everything worked like perfect music, and
true hoaltn know naught of ill. The different
functions in religion wero tho different sects and
ilcnomiiiatiinis into which religious people wero
HviJed. Opinions woro not one but many, but
1 they were all bom of tho spirit, why should
Jioy conlhct? why should spirit strive with
jpirit?
Bcligion was spirit; theology form; (ho
former brought men together, and tho latter
drove them asunder. They woro widely differ
ent, but tlio world was working out a oneness of
ppiritr in that all were beginning to realize that
;hcro won a unity of belief, although differences
of form iu worship might and aid exist. In
stead of being antagonistic. tho various denom
inations snculd be supplemented, and recognize
this diversity of function. Their work differed m
particular, but they all worked together like tho
organs Iu tbo body, ami this harmony of action
iu Christendom constituted what Paul called
tho “ body of Christ. Each part supplemented
the other, and grand harmony was tho result.
There were two great evils in tho world
bigotry and sectarianism. Bigotry put an em
bargo on faith, while sectarianism created a
monopoli; tho former said nobody preached
truth tuTiteclf. while tho latter said nobody had
a right to preach anything except on its plat
form. The speaker would say s “ Let those
denominations stand, bnt lot every man keen his
heart open to divine inspiration.” This inter
denominational courtesy was tho giving
up of all ouo received.—tlio reci
procity of good manners. It waa not
a nmnotouy of thought but'tho harmonious
makiug-up of Ibouuht, the song of many songs,
all bom of one key. lb was like tho courtesy of
the business world, mado up of many lines of
trade, manufactures and industries, still hum
ming on. without strife, building up the nation
and tho cities, with every department poifontmig
itsowu fuuclious while moving on in general
harmony. The idea could be well illustrated
bv tho prevailing inlcr-Htato comity which, iu all
its details, mode tho grand civilization of tho
American Continent. There was reciprocity
among tho Ktalsa, nod there should bo among
tho dilferent religious donominatinns.
But Low about recognizing oilier denomina
tions ? That was clear enough to the speaker,
although ho remembered tho tune when these
courtesies wore almost unknown among tha
churches. There (ibould ho returns of courtesy
among the churches, and Uie ministers of all
denominations should willingly and frequently
exchange pulpits. Wbilo all modes of building
were not just alike, they were all to tho same
great end. Holigion and Christianity woro oue,
although denominations woro different. In this
unity was strength iu times of great
pubVio distress ami calamity, but tho
trouble now was that this foelmg
of courtesy had not yet reached its highest ex
tent. 1 f Uabhi Wise or llahbi tiiliouthal, of Cin
cinnati. should visit Chicago, tho speaker would
Invite them to sneak iu htu pulpit, and invite his
people to hoar them. Would that necessarily
make tho liahhia Christians, or bis people be
lievers m tho Jewish fault ? No ; bat it would
bo an exchange of Christian courtesy, sod would
enable the people to fianio their own estimated
of the nicntd of the Jewish system end what it
wan doing fur tho needs of (lie world.
Men were not under intellectual bonds, and
no church, no minister, no people, hud a right
to bind ib elf not Vo grow or imnrovo. People
had no light to limit their intellectual growth,or
to pU dgc themselves to think Just as some oilier
man thought. While it was true that intellect
uiailo discords sometimes, it was also true iliac
lie-art made bear!, ami we found God, not by tho
rruciblo or tbo calculus, but by sympathy. .
infidels were becoming fashionable, but 09
put of 101) had boon so called, not because they
had bmko faith with God, but with what men iu
their darkness, biaotry, and sectarianism, made
God and Jesus Christ appear to bo. Voltaire
was of this ftlomp, though he believed In God
is thousands and thousands do not who might
bo ready to turn the key on tbo skeptic or
perchanco light tho faiml. People should be
careful in bestowing the name •* Infidel ” on
others, beeau-e they would often apply it to the
prong person, and thus make tho name
more to be respected than otherwise. An
hc.neut man. an honest boliuver, was infinitely
more rwsj.i-nablo than ho who {teddlcd tbo truth,
half believing and half doubting what ho was
preaching.
The speaker said to Ids hearers, Keep open
doors, but let the pates swing both ways, oat
and in.” The result would bo such as attended
tliu building of a temple, made more and more
complete by tho addition of a ratter here and a
rafter there, a column, a window, and this
Christian courtesy would lead in the spiritual
life to that harmony which is tho perfect bond
>f peace.

and a table of tho results is given in tbo report.
Tbo Comptroller has heretofore, in his re
ports. called tbo attention of Congress to the
fact that, wbilo tho National Banka aro subject
to a tux upon their onliro capital, which can ho
easily ascertains*! from their honks and not in
frequently upon tho market value of their
shares, other corporations, tlio amount of whodo
capital and tho value of whose shares can be as
readily obtained by appropriate legislation, aro
asaoHsed at not one-half of tbolr value, while
private firms mml individuals aro almost wholly
exempt from boaring their share of tho burden.
Letters recent ly received by the Comptroller
from tho Frofodbnts of two principal banks,—one
Id tbo East and tbo other in tho \Yeat.—refer to
this greatest of all economical subjects iu such
plain terms that bo cannot forbear calling tho
attention of Congress to their suggestions.
Many of tho aJiaroboldore of the National Banks
depend for their income ohiofiy a non tbo earn
ings of these institutions, and It uoos not seem
just that these thousands of shareholders eball
by auy construction of law bo compelled to pay
au nmlue proportion of local lax. It is admit
ted that the law, as now interpreted by tbo dif
ferent Btato courts, and by Accessors ami Col
lectors, is neither equitable nor bouoet.

Clere'.and < O .) Leader, Dee. 3.
A severe hoitcr-explosiou occurred yesterday
afternoon at 2 o’clock, on tho Hats near Central
way, in which a building was torn to pieooa, and
a number of men severely injured, one of them
fatally.
Tho building was owned and occupied by Steele
A McMahon, pavement contractors, for the saw
ing of wood-blocks for pavements. Tho nsuol
number of men were at work when, without a
moment’s warning, tho boiler was literally torn
in pieces, and, with tho building, scattered
to tho lour winds of heaven—completely in
shreds.
The list of casualties, as far as could bo learned
in tbo hurry and confusion incident to the ac
cident, is as follows:
John Ward, the engineer, wounded and scalded.
John Sanford, a sawyer, bruised on one sido of
the face.
J). Lenox, a sawyor. badly cut on tho head.
John Keith, slightly isit and scalded.
(1. W. Hose, slightly cut and acarded.
A. Jackson. slightly tf.-alded.
Henry Hagloy, very badly burnt, his thigh
bone broken, and several internal injuries being
received.
Teriuueo Hoyle, badly scalded and injured
from being under tho ruins of the building.
Thomas Rums, cut on tho face and slightly
scalded.
-■ —■ ITagloy, nllghtlv bruised.
Tho building winch waa dcfllroyed was frame,
and measured TJxß‘2 feet lu size. Uhaduoup*
for story, although boiug of considerable height,
u ono end was ttio boiler and engine, and
In tho other tbo saws, which were run
by ono bolt, and winch were used fur
tho cutting of tho blocks into projior
shape. Tbo usual work bad been earned
on at tbo saws during tbo forenoon and a por
tion ol tho afternoon, bnt a short timo before
the explosion occurred a bolt broke, and it was
found nscesmry to repair it. Ktcam was ac
cordingly abut off, and tho repaint inane, and it
wart while a couple of tho men were engagedm
replacing it on tho wheel that tho explosion oc
curred. Homo eight moo wore in tbo building at
tho time, three of them being at tho belt, several
at tho saw, ono sluing at the aido ol tbu build
ing, and tliocngmoor blooding with lilts band ou
a portion of thu engine. Bmldetilv. aa tbo fore
man, Mr. Bread, says, a blight “ biaa " woa
board, and Instantly the whole air woa filled
with Hying timbers, planks, portions of
the boiler, and brinks of tbu machinery
foundations. Tbo escaping a lam covered
tbo Hying mou. and it .id a miracle
that a greater amount of damage to Ufa or mub
vraa not done. Tho foreman, when ho bend
the premonition of danger, rusliod behind a pile
of lumber, and in that manner uscapud injury.
Mr. McMahon was atruok m tho back by a living
board aud thrown headlong sumo distance, but
received no serious Injury. Ho aloud under a
bbower of falling timbers, aud was compelled to
dodgu them on they fell, receiving blows from
only afow of tba amaller ones. Ilia experience
at that point waa the same as tlm rent, Tbo

bcattorod pieces of lumber which ho all over the

no injury to person, aa they wore most of them
providentially blown in tbo direction of the
rirer, tboru being so one iu that direction.

TUB TURKISH TREASURY.
I.onlon srfrt.itor.
Nothing has porno from tho Ea*t thin week
except rumors, all of which point to some pro
jected pressure to bo brought on Turknv by tbo
Imperial powers. Action seems to bo delayed by
the illness of the Grand Vizier, whose digestion
is either diplomatically or really out of order.
Tho Times, however, publishes what la really Im
portant Eastern news, a Viennese calculation,
waul to be official, and based on an erpuie laid
before tho Rullan on Oct. 1, as to the tmo posi
tion of the Treasury at Constantinople. Ac
cording to this tho actual revenue will bo only
X 15,300,000 sterling, ami tho outlay of the year
T 32.400,600, leaving ft deficit of XL7.iOO.OOi}, of
which only X 2 OOO.hOO Is duo to tho Bosnian in
surrection. This is after deducting tho addition
to floating debt which tho Viennese writer puts
among tho expenses. Even, therefore, if tbo
Porte saves Tfi.OOO.OOO by the repudiationof half
her interest, tho Treasury will still bo X11,0D0,-
009 abort. If Hus statement is correct, as the
Times scorns to bcliovo, tho bondholders will
not bnvo a penny, and, even though It should be
exaggerated, they can bo paid only by leaving all
officials and soldiers without cash, that is. in
fact, allowing them to plunder tho provinces,
which cannot bo done long. With Turkish credit,
in fact, Turkish finance collapses.

CORRECTION.
Columbus, . 0., Dec. C.— Tho press telegram
of Friday night, announcing that the name of
Dr. You Bonhiust, of Lancaster, bad been drop
ped from tho roll of members of tho Dental So
ciety, was an error. The Doctor’s offense was
a violation of the code of ethics, and
tho committee on that subject rec
ommended tho dropping of his name,
hut tho Convention, by a unanimous vote, al
lowed Vo» Bonhurst to explain that his offense
arose partly from his lack of knowledge of tho
requirements of tho code of ethics, and partly in
self-defense. Tho Society then excused him.
Dr. Von Bonhurst is a well-known dentist, and
this explanation is duo him. The arror occurred
from the fact that some one had marked the re
port of tho investigation committee as adopted,
when, iu fool, it had merely boon recorded.

About 7 o’clock this morning itr. Adin, an Eng
lishman, about CC years of ago, who has diivon
an express wagon In this city for the last twelve
years, drove up Oardco street to tho corner of
Forest, where ho stopped and hitched his horse
in front of a grocery store, and walked up
Forest street to tbo house of Mr. George L.
Ponton, No. ‘JOO. whore a part of the trag
edy wo aro to rolato took place. Mr. Benton,
who is foreman for Bose A Prentiss, had oaten
bis breakfast and loft for hla work. His wife
and a young lady who baa boon called Hattie
Adin. n stop-daughter of tho said William Adin,
had leisurely finished their breakfast, as from
tbo nppoarauco of tho room Mias Adin was
partially dressed to como down to her
place of work. Adin, when ho catered
tho room, deliberately locked the door, and
commenced an assault upon hla daughter
with a largo-sized hammer which ho hod brought
with him. What occurred hero can only ho
learned from tho appoarancoof tho room oa there
worn no witnesses to tell of tbo affray. The
neighbors only a few yards distant board screams
of murder ami repeated blows and acuitllng, but
a* the men had all loft for their work, it was a
hbnrt period before they could got out of
doors to scO what was tho matter. A lady
living next north camO to tho door
which opened next to Benton's house and
saw Adin leisurely walk out of tho door and
along the walk on that side of tho house to tho
gate. Before she could cross her yard sho saw
.Mrs. Benton crawling out of tho door on her
bauds dud knees, nil coveted with blood flowing
from her head. This lady screamed for bolpami
sprang over tho side fence, picked Mrs. Benton
op and carried her into her owu house. There
nho found. Mina Hattie Adin lying on tho
kitchen floor insensible, with pools of blood
on tho floor, and the wall spattered in all
directions, it was but a moment or (Wo before
other help came, and what a scene that
room presented I —blood everywhere. Judging
from tho appcoranco of tho rooms Adin must
have struck bis stop-daughter without a word of
warning, and dropped boron the floor where sho
stood, and that Sirs. Benton bad bravely strug
gled with the mnrdoror to save her friends
.ifc. Dra. Fronton, Holliday, and Butler
wore summoned and word sent to tbo
precinct station of the affair. Tbo
doctors proceeded to dross tho wounds of tho
two ladies, when they fonud that Hattie had
throe wouuds upon hot head, from two or which
tbo brains were oozing out. with ono or two cats
on the shoulder and a broken jaw, and was al
most insensible.
Mrs. Ponton bad also two cuts on the head,
which had broken tho skull, with odd or two
more on tho shoulder, which showed that she
had straggled with tho would-be mnrdoror.
Adm deliberately walked down Forest street to
whoro bis horso was fastened, throw his hammer
into tho wagon, and drove down town. Ho was
recognized by several persons acquainted with
him, who noticed nothing peculiar about him.
nor did ho seem at all flustered when he passed
tho words “ good-morning." When he arrived
down town, he drove over to his grocery store
on the Heights, corner of Starkweather and
Scranton avenues.
Rorgt.lloehu drove down to the Central Sta
tion, reported tho murder and telegraphed the
description of Adiu, sod then started for the
Heights. At half-post Bho accosted Adfn at (ho
door of bis bonne and told him that bo arrested
him for tho murder of his stop-danghter and
Mrs. Goorgo Hentoo. Adin coolly asked if they
wore dead, and when told, that they wore
not yet, said that *• bo hoped ho had made
a clean Job of it." Ho told the Sergeant
that ho would like to go back into the hoiiso and
put up a dog-cham that he had In hht hands be
fore ho wont with lum. The ofllcer said ho
would go into (ho house with him; to ibis Adin
objected, but the otUcer pushed by him aud en
tered the room, back of tho store. Hero bo
found Mrs. Adm lying oh the floor near the
kitchen stovo .. dead. - Ofllcer lloohu
asked i Ipm what made him com
mit tho?o fearful crimes. Ho _ said
that about C o’clock this morning be had an al
tercation with his wife about money, which
should have boon paid him and that bo seized a
hammer lying bard by and kilted her with re
peated blows upon tho head; that sho aud hor
step-daughter hod boon taking all.the money
ami leaving him to pay all tho debts, and ho
would not stand it any longer. Ho then bitched
np. bis horses and drove to Forest street
and committed tho deed described above,
taking tho bloody - hammer with iiim and
bringing it back to tils store, whore it was Zoned
by tho ofllcer. Adiu waft taken to (bo Central
Station atm locked np. This may bo considered
a prompt arrest, as. not an hour elapsed from tho
time that OlUoor. Hoolm heard of tho affair be
fore ho had tho murdorer iu custody.
Prom what our reporter could learn at Mr.
Bouton’s house Adin and his wife had not lived
peacefully together ; that some time last fall
Mrs. Adin and her daughter wore driven
from their homo by the cruelty of
tho husband and step-father, and that
Mrs. Bouton, a friend, has offered them a homo
for a while; (bat this spring Adin made such
promises of reform that the wife consented to
go hack and live with him, but Hattie, who was
a smart and winsome young lady, would not re
turn, preferring to hoard with Mr. Benton and
work In Mr. SMphord’s millinery store, at which
Adin was greatly enraged, and threatened at
different times to compel her to return j but no
one suspected (hat ho would. attempt such, a
bloody tragedy, supposing his threatening* wero
more buncombe.
At 0 o’clock, when our reporter left Mr. Ben
ton’s, the two ladies wero still alive, but-almost
Insensible, Mis. Benton lying in a kind of sloe*
,copo. The physicians wore unanimous in the
opinion that Hattie could not live, while there
was outy tho smallest chance for tho recovery of
Mrs. Bouton—perhaps one in a thousand.
Mr. Adin, ss before stated, has been in tho ox
press business for many years, doing a good
deal of the expmlng for Messrs. Cobb, Andreas
ft Co. Uo is a small man, and, strange to say,
has been noted for his good-natured garrulity
and apparent hsrmiossncss. An acquaintance of
William’s could hardly ever get hyulm on tho
street, or wherever he might meet him,
without having to stop and listen to
his pioasaut-hamorod “gab." Upon an
occasion like this, a friend of the writer
once had the whole story of William’s domestic
woes imparted to him m tho most circumstantial
maimer. A person to look at him, and hear him
talk, would say that ho could not hart a flea.
In an interview with the murderer this morn
ing bo stated that he had boon driven to It, His
wife had been in the habit of concealing the pro
ceeds realised from sales In the store and giving
them to his stop-daughter. Ho always avoided
any disputes with Ills wife, and whenever any
disputes arose bo would boiako himself to tho
barn.
Ho further stated that ho realized shoot f 2.60
a day from expressing, which he gave to his
wife, who, as ho said, *• had been tho banker
ever since they wore married."
With his stepdaughter and stepson he could
never agree, and was obliged to send the son to
the reform farm for theft.
To tba question whether ho was drunk ot tbo
timsoruot.be replied, ‘*l never got drunk,
hover was drunk lu iny life."
lie also stated that, owing to the facts that tbo
taxes wero duo, bo went to ids wife tbio morning
and said: " itarbara, ain't you ashamed of your
self for taking and concealing tbo money ; tbo
taxes must bo paid, and tboro must bo money
somewhere, and now lot mo have it to pay tbo
taxes." Whereupon she turned on mo and ex
claimed s “ You lia, you mean scamp I". ** Now,
that's something I never do. Uo, and I*m quick,
mind you, and I —and (hero ho branched off on
to the family troubles again, and did not scorn
to care to dwell on the tragedy.! . .
As tu the killing of the other woman, nothing
could bo gleaned from him.
DESPERATE BUSINESS.
OtNOiinuTi, 0., JDoo. 6.—Tho Enquirer** Cir

Keeper liartmoyor entered to replenish tbo fire,
ho was seized by Bam Mason, colored, while
Francis Duutoo, another prisoner, struck at him

third prisoner, assaulted tho jailor with a red-

J)n Momfi (fit.) IJegieter, lk<\ n.
Mr. Kennedy has returned from Homestead.
Charley Hoed waived examination and hia bait
was fixed at $2.1)00, which will ho Immediately
furnished. After witnessing hla wife's dishonor
and foiling tlio scducor to tho ground, Charley
wont directly to some people living noar, ami,
narrating what ho had done, surrendered him
self to justice. Ho also sent a physician to
treat the wounded man. Medical aid was una
vailing, and ho died about twelve hours after tbo
blow was struck.
The man killed was Jacob Smith, a painter
from Dos Moines, and a man of doubtful char
acter. Borne weeks since, tbo polico say, ho
was In Dos Moines with Mrs. Hoed, and stayed
several days at an East Bide hotel. Previous to
that, and before Hood loffe tbo city for tho Jour
ney that terminated in this dreadful affair,
Hmith was a frequenter of Cborloy's houso iu bis
absence.
Chief Jarvis noticed (his and represented to
Smith tho danger to which bo waa exposing him
self bv sneb a course, ana nrgod him to cease
his visits there. Tho advice was unheeded.
After Bmfth's arrival at Homestead he gave tho
impression to tho people there that ho was a
Dos Moines rongb, and stated that ho had once
boon in Jail heio, but that It required tho ser
vices of tiro policemen to take him there. In
quiry of our police shows that ho was locked up
at one time for being drank and disorderly. His.
associates boro were of a bad class. Ho has no
relatives living In Dos Moines, although his
father did at one time reside hero.
Tho citizens no&r tho bcooo of the tragedy
wero clamorous for tho instant discharge of
Reed, fooling that lie had done no more than bo
should have, nor more than any ono else would
havo done under similar provocation. The Jus*
tico evidently, judging by the amount of bail re
quired, took about the samo view of tlio trans
action.
Mrs. Reed still remains at Homestead, with
tlio children. Her father was In Dos Moines
yesterday, but bos not boon uoar tho scono of
tbo tragedy.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
Tho Marengo liepxihlican of yesterday has (ho
following additional details:
14 On Tuesday of last wodk Jacob Sobmldt, tho
man who was killed, mado bis appoarnoco at tbo
bouse. Reed was not personally acquainted
with Schmidt, but recognized him from bis re
semblance to a photograph in bis possession,
and which she bad (old him was tho picture of a
friend whom sho know at Dos Moines, whore
blio and her sister had kept a boarding-house.
When Reed cimo homo Tuesday evening ho
looked throngh tbo window and saw Bchmidt
standing by tbo store. Whim bo entered at ono
door Schmidt wont cot at another. Rood fol
lowed him out into tbo yard, and asked him
if bis namo was Schmidt. Ho said H was, and
then Rood asked him what bo was running fur.
Ho sold nothing. They wont back into tbo bouso,
and everything appeared to go along smoothly'
until Saturday night last.
44 On Saturday night Rood and Schmidt slept in
tbo samo bod, wbllo Mrs. Rood mado a bed on
tho floor of tho samo room for borsolf. Rood
wanted bis wife to mako bis bod up-atairs, but
alio refused, saving that they did not bavo
enough bod-clothing. Some timo during tho
night Bchmidt raised up in bod. Rood asked
him what was tho matter, to which Sobmldt mado
no reply, but laid down again. This occurred
several times. Finally Bcbmidt declared that bo
was bound to get up, if bo died for It, or, as one
report says, if bo had to kill some 000. Reed
and bo clinched, but separated, and Reed wont
ont of doors, seized an ax, camo back and struck
Bcbmidt on the right temple, making a wound
which caused bis death shout U o’clock Sunday
afternoon.
44 Coroner Lyon proceeded to tbo place on
Monday, impaneled a Jury, and examined sev
eral witnesses.
" Mrs. Reed testified that aha was sleeping on
the floor; was about half tsloops heard tUo fuss
ami got up; Schmidt was standing on tho floor
by tbo side of tbo bod; whoa Rood camo in
he Jumped into bod again; he raised up and
struck at Hoed, and Hood struck at him; thoro
whs only a dim light in tho room and sho did
not know what kind of au instrument Schmidt
was shuck with, or vhothor tho blow was what
caused his death.
"Taylor Barton testified that bo was asleep up
stairs; that Rood and hh» wifo came up mid
awakened him, and Hood told him that bo bad
nearly killed a umu and wauled him to come
down and soo if he could do anything for him ;
ho procured some modiolno fromAmana, which
did not do any good, and then bo wont to Ox
ford and got a doctor ; when the doctor camo ho
said it was a bad caso; tho roan was insensible,

SEDUCTION. AND FLIGHT OF THE SEDUCER,
Bptehl Dit]Xltih to THt 'Chkaao Tribune,
Jlonum, 111., Doc. 6.—This usually quiet
and staid lltilo city was this morning thrown into
a flatter of ozcltomont on account of tho un
earthing of a choice bit of scandal, implicating
well-known and horetoforo-respootablo parties
in a crime, tho results of which add aaotbor link
to tbo chain of circumstantial ovldonco substan
tiating tho proposition of tho total depravity of
man and the errlug faith of confiding woman.
Tbo facts, as for as can bo gathered, appear to
boos follows t
Ono A. J. Daltons—by profession, I regret to
say. a newspaper-man, hailing from Ohio—took
up bis abode iu this city about a year ago,
bringing with hltn q'small share of earthly herit
age, a supposed fair uamo, and, more than ail, a
wifo of estimable character and qualities. Ho
at onco bocamo a leader In all the movements for
social reform, a bead-contro and leading spirit lu
tbo Order of Good Templars, and assumed a
prominent character in all tbo ploua theatricals
which outertainod and edified tbo God-fearing
people of the city and vicinity ; and, being a man
whose soul burned with a longing desire to also
attain to that glory which is achieved only on
tho sanguinary fields of blood and death, be en
listed himself heartily in tbo Interests of a mili
tary company . known as tbo Morris Grays, In
which bo boon rose Vo tbo proud position of
Lieutenant.
Armed with (bis accumulated distinction, ho
moved on to Colds of conquest and victory*
The first conquest of this gallant soldier
and boif-aacrluclog reformer acorns, how
ever. to have boon over tho Tbtiio
of a very beautiful and accomplished
young lady of Morris, whoso standing in society
has never heretofore boon questioned, and
whose family ranks among tbs unit off tuo city,
tbo name of whom is withheld through consul
oroilons of personal and public
villain, through tho influence of bis posltlou lu
socloty-maitors, his porsonM appearance, and
polished manners, succeeded in beguiling this
innocent and nuauspoottriK ylat J m .* nW • W oQ d'

love, she yielded to him. and forever forfeited
that most precious of treasures, her virtue, aud
in that moment saw the brightest star of her
most cUeribUed hopes aud happiness go down
into tbo blackness of midnight darkness.
Tbo beginning of this chapter of uuholy love
and illicit pleasure seems to dato back some four
or flvo mouths, tho results of whlub becoming
apparent to tho young lady's family aud
friends, as well as her seducer, bo. hav
ing previously sent bis unsuspecting wife
away, very suddenly and unceremonious
ly cleared out, leaving nothing behind
but unpaid board-bills, mourning creditors, aud
a blackened fame for himself, and on inheritance
of. remorse, inlf-repruach, and despair, to bis
unfortunate vjstua,—adding another wreck of

Milwaukee, Doc. fi.—Malt Carpenter, who has
cheekily threatened to buqTiieTiuiiu.ne for pub.
Hailing tlio facta indicatiug how much there w ia
of him about tho Whisky King, has now bromjht
forward Sam llindskopf, “ Prince " of tlio Whis
ky Ring, to malto bis “aftldary” Hint there wu
no Carpenter about It. No doubt Prince Sattx
would with equal alacrity filo bis aflldavy thil
there la no Whisky lling hero.—just aa Carpon
tor Insists there isn't. Hut Barn's testimony
Isn’t to tho point, lie hasn’t denied that Car*
pooler, then a Senator, lathe summer of 1874,
after tho proceedings had been commenced
against llindskopf at Madison, hold a conference
at tho Park Hotel, at tint city, with tho Hon. 11.
M. Howls and other attorneys for‘the defence,
at which two proportions for compromise
wore agreed ou, —one being a more
blind and tho other so framed as
to provide for the escape of Ibndskop!
and tho rest of tho Ring Imperiled by the dis
closures there made. There is no dental of tbs
fact that Carpenter In behalf of tho lling took
these propositions to Washington for compro
mise, agreed on between him aim their court
attorneys for tho express purpose of securing
tho acceptance of a compromise, through his in
fluence os a Honator ; and that ho did
tho accept an co of ono of theso propositions,
though by blunder it was tho wrong ouo.
WHAT CANNOT UK GAINSAID.
Sam Rlndakopf docs a deal of strong swear*
log in bis attorney's behalf, but bo docsoQ’t
swear away, and bo cannot swear away, his owo
statement to a prominent gentleman In high of*
flclal position hero, and unimpeachable charac
ter, to tbo offoottuat it was bln (Rindekopfe)
explicit understanding that Carpenter, (ben
Honotor, was to secure tbo delay
of tho case at Madison until it
oonld bo got rid of without tHal and tho Inevi
table exposure that must follow. Bam will Lave
to swear still harder before bo can swear away
(ho official documents on liio in tho Department.
Tbo first of there, already published In Tna
TaniDNE. is a letter from Supervisor Munn to
Commissioner Douglas*, in which Munn makes a
plea for tho continuance of tho indictment
against Sam llindskopf, la that letter, under
date Sept 7,1874, Munn. writes the Commis
sioner :
While in Milwaukee recently, I had an Interview
with Senator Carpenter, who tayt be uv you ulla.
Tire TO TUB lItUIUBOPP TBIAU
What had Carpenter to eeo the Commissioner
about in tbo lUudakopf case ? Mann's letter to
tbo Commiaalohor of dato Nor, 23,1871, eaati
light upon that query. This loiter was a plea
offered by Munn foe contluuanco of tho cats
upon tho falso representation of tho insanity ol
a witness for tho Government. In it Mimo
writes ♦.
While la Milwaukee Friday last I bad an Interview with
Senator Cnriwnter. It wm ms UNO«nirr*suiNo mj
mine that the lllmlnkopf ease, continued at tbo L*-
CroMo Court, would t>o tried next Jana at Usdhun,
but tbo Judge baa called a apodal term for December.
What was the nature of Senator Carpenter's
(ho was Senator then) u underitandlng" relative
to the Rlndskopf oaso ? Tho whole effort of the
Bing was to avoid trial. Tho effort at compro
mise bad failed. Tho caso had boon postponed
at tho LnCroaae torm, and now effort was being
made for its continuance again. The Govern
ment was ready for trial, and tho District Attor
ney wos pushing tho ooao. Postponement was
Bought ouly by tuo lllng, and in tho Bing's in*

What followed, and what Sam Rlndskopf can
not swear away, is yot more significant. Munu s
efforts to socuro a continuance m tho Interest of
tho Whisky Ring and for tho sake of avoiding
exposure of tho official thieves’ ring, failed.
Then camo to tho District Attorney tbo telegram
from Commissioner Douglass;
