| steps nave been taken, ana ARTICLES OF
Incorporation have been signed, for
the building Of a college and ladies
seminary at Edwardsport, Knox
County, Indiana. It is to be en-
dowed by voluntary contributions,
most of which has already been paid,
and the entire amount almost GER
tainly secured. Edwardsport is a
healthy and secluded locality, from
which whisky has been banished by a
royal edict of the people, and young
men attending college there will be
exposed to but few temptations. We.
hope the enterprise viii prove sue

CHARGE OF MURDER.-Add. Evans,
a former citizen of Lafayette, and
more recently Of Eogansport, where
he was lately married to a highlyres-
pectable lady, was arrested in this city
last evening on a charge of murder.
He was in the city on business, and
was evidently taken completely by |
surprise. He expresses entire igno- |
rance of any foundation for the charge,
and seems confident of his ability to |
prove his entire innocence upon trial. |
He was lodged in Jail, and will be |
taken out on writ of habeas corpus
tomorrow. The prosecuting witness |
is Mrs. Titler, who alleges that some |
eight or nine years ago she gave birth
to an illegitimate child, which Evans
murdered. Colonel VIM G.. Wilson |
and Colonel r.. p. DeHart have been |
retained for the defense, and Judge |
Huff and r. b. Everett for the State.
