TERRE HAUTE, Ind, October 3d.
News of the murder of Joseph Robbins,
watchman on the Vandalia Railroad
at the Woodville trestle-work, last night
about y O'Clock, has been received in
this city. The pay-car of that line
from this city had just passed shors
time previous, and Robbins had just
received his pay. The trestle work, at
the end of which his watch-house is To-
Gated, is two miles east of the town of
Vandalia, and is completely isolated,
being two miles from any dwelling.
The shot which took the unfortunate
mans life was fred from a shotgun
through a window, and seventeen buck
shot were found in the window frame,
two having pierced the brain OF Rob-
bins. 1t is supposed the killing was
instantaneous, and also that money VIZ
its object, the villains who did the deed
being frightened by the approach of

Where Did Columbus Land

Harper's for November has a clever
article on the Bahamas, which says
In all probability it was not Cat Island
which Columbus named San Salvador,
but Waiting Island "a smaller isle a
little more to the southwark and east
ward The facts in the case are these
Contrary, probably, to the general
opinion, it has never been definitely
known which was the island entitled to
the honor but about fifty years, when
historians were busy with the history
of Columbus, they undertook to settle
the question by comparing his journal
with the imperfect charts of the Ba.
hamas then existing. Navaette fixed
on Turks Island. which later investi-
cation has proved to be erroneous,
while Irving, supported by the strong
authority of Humboldt, argued for Cat
Island, and since then this has been
generally accepted as San Salvador,
and it is so designated ON our charts to
this day. But the English reversed
their opinion some time ago, and trans
ferred the name of San Salvador to
Watlings Island, and it will be 50
found on their latest charts. The rea-
son for this change seems conclusive.
Lieut.. Beecher. of the English navy
proves conclusively that Cat Island
cannot be San Salvador, and that Wat
liIg's Island answers the conditions re-
quired better than any other island ly-
ing in the track of Columbus. His
two strongest reasons against Cat Island
are that Columbus states that he rowed
around the northern end in one day.
The size OF Cat Island makes this phis-
lcally impossible there, while it is
quite feasible at the other island. He
also speaks of large lake in the in
terror. There is no such water on Cat
st on
