Friday published at length number
of afiidavits charging Thomas McIn-
tire, superintendent of the deaf and
dumb asylum, with seduction and I'M
chaste conduct with Marietta Enochs,
Caroline T. johnson, Annie Carey,
and Adeline Davis. These have been
pupils of the institution, and one,
Mrs. Carey of Wabash county, for
mer teacher. Z. Ct. Valentine, teach
er in the institution, is charged with
the seduction of Ida E. Fawker, and
with abortion. This girl first charged
her trouble upon man named Miller,
and then upon her uncle, j. E. Fawk-
ner, merchant III this city, who was
indicted by the grand jury. He now
demands the removal of McIntire,
supporting his claims by these afii-
davits.
Miss Fawkner charges Valentine
and McIntire with inducing her to
charge her uncle, in order to save
themselves from exposure. The afli-
davits are published before being laid
before the trustees, and have created
considerable excitement. Mclntire
has been superintendent of the asylum
for about eighteen years. lie is a
Presbyterian minister, and has always
stood high in the community.

The st. Louis Republican of May
goth contains the following horr or:
"Since the night of May 4th, a wo-
man named Margaret Duetman has
been missing from her home at num-
Der 1882 Decatur street. Yesterday
morning her body was discovered in
a well on the premises of Mr.. Holmes,
who lives at the corner of Eighth and
Lafayette streets. The discovery
caused the most intense excitement i'll
the neighborhood, as it was known
that the woman was sick with the
smallpox at the time she left home,
and up to the time of the discovery
some twelve families had been using
water from the we'll constantly. 1t is
reported that no change had been OBJ
served in the quality of the water
meantime, but now there is fair pros
pect that the well will be filled up.
1t is supposed the woman left her bed
while deranged from effects of the dis
ease, and threw herself into the well
which is only distant from her house
about two blocks. The body was re-
moved to Brockman & Scbeele's sta
bles, corner of Seventh and Soulard
streets.
