MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF HUsB4Np.-A
telegram from Madison, Ind, Oct. L., says:
Henry A Armstrong, formerly one of the pro
prietors of the Marine Railway, came to hi
death about eleven O'Clock last night under
mysterious circumstances. The evidence be-
fore the CorOner's jury showed that Armstrong
had not lived amicably with his wife for some
time past and that during the last two weeks he
had been at New Albany. Returning to his
home last night, and divesting himself OF his
boots, he went mp stairs to his wife's room,
when, as she says, he beat and abused her
and dragged her down stairs. When at the foot
of the stairs Mrs Armstrong screamed and her
husband released his hold, and she then went
mp stairs, very soon afterwards hearing q pistol
outside the bach door, With q bullet hole at the
corner of his left eye, his forehead covered with
bruises and one Of his hands somewhat lace

SALE OF Lors BY THE O. r. |. Co.-The sale
of lots which took place on Saturday indicates a
healthy activity and an increase in value, Of
real estate. This does not apply to any particu-
lar section OF the city, but is criterion for the
market generally. The sales were largely at
tended, which is an evidence Of the interest
taken in the sale OF lots, and also the advantage
TO be gained by such investments. The Chris
tian River Improvement Company will eell on
Saturday afternoon next, without postponement
over the Eleventh street bridge. There are
fortyeight lots in all. and they all have decided
advantages, as to locality; convenience to the
large industrial works Of the city; the easy ac
cess to the railroad aud water. aud to the gener.
81 business portions Of the city. Those whC
fail to attend this sale and profit thereby b,
the purchase Of one or more lots, will lose az
opportunity for a safe and cheap investmen
that will not be offered soon again. The sale
will commence at 3 O'Clock.

disposed OF by Judgment" continuance,

Is 1T REALLY so BAD?-west Front street has,
Of late, been made the scene Of some disgraceful
proceedings, which furnished tho theme Of
many locals for several of our incorporates.
1t seems to be prolific OF petty burglaries, negro
all that multitude of d.moraizing practices
which tend to unsettle society and bring the
community into reproach Are these things
really 10? Do they actually occur? II 80 tile NOR
ais Of the residents of that portion Of the city
are much more loose than our widest fancy
would permit us to imagiue. What have the
people there to say about lt' Our enterprise has
never enabled us to ferret out these occurances,
and what is more they never appear upon the
police records of the city. We think injustice is
being done.
