Political Trouble hi Indiana.
A despatch from Indianapolis, dated
the 2!ld inst., says:
"Considerable excitement is caused
here to-day by tho resignation, this morn
ing, of tho HI Republican members of
the House, which prevents lurther legis
lation this session. Tho reason assigned
is tho attempt of tho Democratic majori
ty to pass a bill ro-districting the Stato in
violation of tho constitution, which pro
vides that tho State shall not bo redis
tricted oftcucr than every six years. Tho
last ro-distrieting was four years ago.
Lieutenant Governor Cumback ex
presses the opinion that it takes two
thirds of all tho members of each House
to constitute a quorum, nnd will not re
cognize anything tho remaining mem
bers do.
The speaker of tho IIouso also gavo
tho same opinion this morning, after re
ceiving tho Governor's message announ
cing the resignation of tho Republican
members of tho IIoupc.
Some of the Democratic members dif
fer with tho Speaker and advocato contin
uing legislation. The appropriation bills,
tax bills, and most of tho necessary legis
lation was disposed of before tho Repub
lican members of tho houso resigned.
There is quite a commotion in political
circles to-day, and a lively timo is antic
ipated to-morrow. The constitutional
limit of the session expires on tho tith
day of March. There is not time to
elect members to fill the places of those
who have resigned.
Terrible Tornado.
Advico from Memphis givo some par
ticulars of the terrible tornado which
passed over n portion of the Memphis and
Charleston railroad on Friday, demolish
ing churches and houses at the towns of
Grand Junction, Pocahontas, and Somer
ville, and uprooting and tearing down
trees for miles. At Helena, Arkansas,
the wind blew a galo from 3 to 'J p. m.,
prostrating telegraph lines and fences
for miles j uprooting trees, carrying them
high into the air; demolishing and raxing
to tho ground dwellings churches, barns,
ware houses, and stores, and doing im
mcuso damage.
The tin roof of a largo warehouse on
the bank of tho river was carried into the
air, and landed on the opposito side of
tho river, 200 yards from shore distance
fully a milo. Ono church was blown
down, und two others badly injured. In
all, 33 buildings, mostly dwellings, wcro
destroyed. In ono instance a one-story
framo houso was lifted from its foundation
with its occupants and carried into tho
air, where it was turned completely over
and hurled to tho ground, bottom up,
fully 100 yards from where it stood, kill
ing ono of its occupants, a man, and se
riously wounding a woman and child. Tho
chain cables of the wharf boat wcro snap
ped, and tho boat carried down tho river
some distance und lauded on a bar.
A Hard Case.
Tho New Haven " Register" of tho
20th inst., says:
" Tho scene presented at the City court
this morning, wus a lamentable one, and
wo hope that wo shall not soon bo called
upon to chronicle another like it. Bra
zillia Ranks, formerly of llarrisburg,
Pa., but whoso widowed mother now
lives in Rridgeport, camo to this city,
some months ago, and commenced a term
in tho Medical School connected with
Yalo College. A bright, activo student,
ho was looked upon ns ono of tho most
promising in his class, and thought by
his learning and skill, becomo one of our
most trusted and honorable physicians.
Whilo hero ho fell into bad company, uud
spent what little allowance ha hud from
his mother. Ho borrowed money of his
mates to keep up his appearance, until he
could do it no longer, and last week, to
"raise tho wind," applied to quite a num
ber of our doctors in this city to whom
ho told a very plaintive story of his de
sire to reach llarrisburg, or something to
that effect. lie succeeded in raining
about ten or fifteen dollars, and instead
of going to llarrisburg, ho found a faro
bunk, whero ho foughtjtho a 'tiger,' uutil
all his funds had vanished like smoke.
This come to tho oars of some of those
who had given him money, und this
morning ho was found guilty of obtaining
money by false pretences, und tho judge
sentenced him to sixty days in tho coun
ty jail, and fined him $25 and costs. It
is a sud case, and wo trust it will prove a
warning to somo two or three others sim
ilarly situuted.
JffayCapt. Harris, of tho schooner
C. A. Johnson, arrived at New York two
days ngo with numerous dead wild ducks.
Tho schooner wus obliged to put into
Hutcrus Inlet, nnd there sho remained
wind-bound with many other coasters.
Tho surface of tho water was covered
with myriads of wild ducks, whose dis
cordant cries could bo heard for a great
distance. (Juo day a wind arose, which
moved with great velocity in a circular
direction, but wus confined to the inlet.
The wild fowl were seized by it, their
nocks ivuro twisted, end their legs and
wings broken. Thousands in a dying
condition wore in a few minutes strewn
on tho water. As soon as the whirlwind
hud subsided bonis put out und tho vic
tims were secured. A steumor passing on
her way to Now York sent out its boats
and shured in the spoils.
Morals of New York.
Tho social ethics of New York life,
are becoming sadly complicated. Tho
Cross scandal has hardly died away be
fore another, equally as bad, comes to
surface. A beautiful ond interesting
young lady, ono of tho belles of society,
goes with her parents to Saratoga. There
sho meets one of tho professional fortune
hunters, who frequent these places, and
in tho ardor of youth falls desperately in
love with him. Tho parents opposo tho
match, but tho girl is self-willed, and the
lover unceasing in his attentions. The
parents' consent is finally obtained,and tho
two married. Then tho character of tho
man shows itself. Almost while tho or
nngo blossoms arc on her brow, ho de
mands money of tho young wife, and
throughout long and weary years of per
secution, ho continues his demands upon
her exchequer. At tho end of the first
year, n child is born to tho unhappy coup
le, nnd the husband introduces to his
wife a young lady of great beauty and
accomplishments. Tho two becomo bo
som friends, and the young lady stands
ns god-mother to the child. During nil
this time the persecutions of the hus
band have not ceased. Ho has, it is al
leged, forged his wife's name to a cheek
for 20,000 stolen her jewelry, and in
every way imposed upon her. Wearied
nt last with the wretched life she is lead
ing, tho wile fled to her parents for pro
tection. Sho is taken to France and
placed in a convent for safety, and her
mother returning to this country, to ob
tain a divorce for her unhappy child,
learns with horror that the " friend"
whom her daughter's husband had intro
duced into tho family, was in reality his
wife, and that the man had been guilty
of bigamy. N. Y. Enprrss.
Damages Against a Mquor Seller.
In Ohio, in tho Guernsey County
Court of Common Picas, Mrs. Francis
AVutt'recontly recovered 82,500 damages
from one Royd for selling her late hus
band intoxicating drinks. Tho husband
was at one time a prominent physician and
surgeon, and had represented his county
in tho Ohio Legislature. Falling into
intemperate habits, he lost his practice,
squandered his estate, and finally died
from tho effects of intoxication. The
widow brought suit, alleging that Royd,
tho defendant continued during all tho
timo to sell and deliver to her husband
intoxicating liquor in quantities of from
ono pint to one quart, causing him to be
como an habitual drunkard and incapable
of attending to any kind of business, and
claimed $5,000 damages for which amount
she asked judgment at tho hands of the
jury. After argumentby able counsel on
both sides, tho jury returned a verdict for
tho plaintiff, assessing damages at $2,500.
R. C. Wcstbrook, who at various
periods of his life performed the functions
of Methodist minister coal dealer nnd
editor, and lately of Sussex county,, N.
J., some time ago separated from his wifo
both coming to the conclusion, after
thirty years' of wedded lilb and rearing
a family, that uu incompatibility of tem
perament existed between them. To
mako tho separation valid, Mr. West
brook repaired to Illinois und secured a
divorce, but not before ho consented to
settle his Sussex farm upon tho wife, to
gether with a cash alimony of $100 a
month. At last accounts the ox-reverend
had taken to himself a bride of tender
years and much beauty.
On the night of tho 21st inst.,
a freight train on tho Pun Handle rail
road, bound east, broko through bridgo
No. 3!), 12 miles east of Steubenville,
and tho engine und 14 curs went down.
Tho firemen, named Hess, was killed,
nnd tho engineer was slightly and one
brakemuu seriously injured. Tho train
was loaded with horses, sheep, hogs, meat,
etc. Eight or ten of tho horses wcro
killed. It is supposed that the engine
struck a stone that hud rolled on tho
track from tho embankment, which threw
off tho tender, and that tho tender was
thrown across the truck on tho bridgo,
cuusing tho other cars to leave tho truck.
tES" A singular case without, per
haps, a parallel in ull respects cumo up
but'oro un English probatu court a few
weeks since. A woman applied for let
ters of administration on the cstato of her
deceased husband, with whom she had
lived -lii years. Rut sho was met by a
citation from another party, who claimed
to have been the first wife of tho de
ceased. This claim sho was nblo to es
tablish to tho satisfaction of the court,
which pronounced tho second murriage,
although undisputed for 40 years, illegal,
and tho children of it illegitimate.
lc'!f Marshall Givcns, proprietor of the
hotel at Twentieth und Vino streets, has
for some timo been keeping strychnine in
tho houso for the purpose of poisoning
rats. On Saturday night ho put somo
poison on a cracker and laid it on the
floor near a largo rut hole It was not
eaten by tho rats, however, and on Sun
day morning Mr. Given's little daughter
found tho cracker on tho floor and wus
ubout to eat it when a playful littlo dog
belonging to the family jumped up and
took tho cracker from bur hand uud uto
it, causing his death in a few moments.
B"" Wo see very many newspaper arti
cles reflecting seriously upon tho rail
road management of this country, and
continually holding up tho railroads of
Great Rritain as so much more frco from
accidents resulting in tho loss of life, as
compared with our roads. Wo think
these charges nro generally made without
any knowledge of the facts. If a calcu
lation is made, taking into consideration
tho number of miles of road, uud tho
number of passengers carried, it will bo
found that tho loss of lite in this coun
try is but little if any larger than it is in
England.
