ANOTHER TERRIBLE CRIME
Shocking Murder, Robbery and
Arson. a f7+a
Burning of Depot and Store:

f4 ts
y We have another fearful crime to
add to the long black list that dis
gtaces Washington County--a more
horrible affair, IN all its details, than
any of the many horrible murders
that haveain the past six OR eight
years been committed in that county
The crime involves robbery arson and
murder. ii1U
On Wednesday night, about twelve
o'clock the large frame depot and
store building at Farrabee's Station,
on the Louisville, New Albany and
Chicago Railway, twenty miles
out from this city, was discovered
by Mr.. Farrabee, who resides near by,
to be on fire. The store contained
valuable stock of goods, and was
owned by Messrs. Harrison Welch
and William r. Smith, both formerly
of New Albany. The flames spread
rapidly after their discovery, and soon
the building, with all its contents, was
destroyed 1856. 7sIs lf8Ja
The alarm, by this time, had spread,
and a number of citizens had gathered
searching among the ruins the body

the area of an old shed that had been
burned, the head arms frightfully
charred by the fire. Further lnvesti-
cation led to the discovery of blood
on the steps of the house, and scat
tered about the shed, giving evidence
that struggle had taken place, and
that Mr.. Smith had been murdered
and thrown into the shed, and the
store then robbed, fred, and the
buildings destroyed. This theory Is
strepgthed by the following facts Mr..
Smith slept In room in the building
adjoining the store, and was In the
habit of leaving the windows of his
| room open when the weather was hot.
| When Mr. Farrabee arrived at the
/ burning building the window and a
a back door. were open, and it
is thought that Smith, hearing
robbers in the gstore, got up
to drive them off, and was muir
dered by them and his body thrown
where it was found, after which, the
robbers secured their booty and then
fired the building to,lif possible, cover
/ their crime. ra1-tFlt1
1esteEday morning a suspicious
looking individual got upon the cars
az barrlSIOWns Where he had pur-
chased ticket for Mitchell. His
conduct was such as to excite the sus-
picions of Mr.. Hanlon, the condctor
who telegraphed Superintendent
| Sloat. Mr.. Sloat, after communicat-
ing with Marshal Akers, telegraphed
Mr.. Hanlon to notify the officers al
Orleans to arrest the man on the ARR.
val of the train at that town. The ar
restwas made, and the suspected party
is now in custody.
Mr. Smith was a son of Phillip
Smith, of Franklin Township, this
county, and a cousin of Mr. Walter l.
Smith, of this city. He was a most
estimable young man, and his horrible
death will send bitter pangs of an
guish to many hearts.-N. a. Com

Our Democratic exchanges are posi-
lively disconsolate over the recent
argument by, J Judge PERKINS in ia
vor of the LEGALITY of the legislative
proceedings after the Democratic Sc
cession. Like RACHAEL mourning
for her children, they will not be
eomforted. The Courier Of this city
led off with dismal wall, and other
papers are taking up the melancholy
refrain. The following is sample of
what we daily read:
A GREAT ERRoR.-We observe by
the State Sentinel that Judge Per-
kins has permitted himself to make an
argument before the Supreme Court. as
a laWyer, which he advised the Dem
Oerats of the last Legislature against

should make a Democrat, in these
perilous times, give an opinion against
the law and the truth, not even as an
attorney, who is allowed great latitude
We are proud to observe that Jo-
seph T.. Mcdonald, on the same case.
Indiana could do business with less
than tWo-thirds of all the members OF

We agree with our contemporary.
We cannot see how prominent Demo

kTlOl0 and feel to be clearly and unmis-
takably wrong, at war with the spirit
of our State Constitution. partisan
and revolutionary. The fact that the
arguments are made by them simply
as advocates is not sufficient to Justify
the act. The questions involved are
far above those usually encountered
In our COurts-they are bound to have
a mighty influence hereafter upon the
politics of the State, for veal or woe.
and the points which gentlemen have
taxed their talent and ingenuity to
sustain as advocates may hereafter
come back to plague them, when they

most with the same breath that de.

ocratic party as purehasable stock
that their only hope is in that party.
We cite this fact and place it on the
record for future consumption. We
dare say it will plague the Democracy
not little, when the leaders of that
party go before the people, in denun-
citation of the last Legislature.

locality to which they are more appli-

wish some OF our people would regard
the language as personal, and be

ism. Says the Times, of Vincennes

with greater speed, and seem unwIlI-

bodv remarked that nothing would

l march of improvement than about
/ thirty frst-class funerals. The justice
of that suggestion applies proper
tiopately with equal to this city,
and every other that dates Its origin
back forty years. That old sluggish
element is afflicted with a chronic
selfishness that will always paralyze
the energies of those with whom It
comes in contact, and who would
otherwise move in unison with that
spirit and enterprise which has IN a
